How To Using Good Adsense Words

Your first month of Adsense income comes and you are happy with what you have made! But what happens if your income drops down. I make a decent bit with adsense, thanks my experience, so I want give you 5 steps, are primarily on how integrate word that are considered “good” into pages that you write and could increase your Ad sense revenue.

1. Choosing A Good Informative Topic

A large range of topics work well with Google but some are more likely to work than others. For this example, I’ve chosen the topic “Affiliate”. For me the topic “Affiliate” is a general one, I want to choose a narrower subtopic to discuss, something like “Affiliate Program” or “Best Affiliate Programs”. Once you have determined that your topic will be suitable, you can move at the next step. Recently I’ve wrote an interesting article that can help you to choose the right post topic for your blog.

2. Get Right High Pay Keywords: No Price Too High

I usually encourage people to find keywords that are not pay high, but ones that bring a decent number of visitors on a website. For instance I’ve never once tried to use key terms as mesothelioma, legal advice, but pick words as “Affiliate” that have an high “approximative average volume”. In regards to writing, please remember that simply changing of words within will not increase revenue.

3. Approximate Average Search Volume

Keyword Analysis is an important point in Search Engine Optimization, in order to finding the average number of users searching particular keyword, Keyword value Geographical location of those users, etc.

“Approximate Average Search Volume shows the approximate average monthly number of search queries matching your keywords that were performed on Google and the search network over a recent 12-month period”

There are TONS of high search volume keywords out there. By using Ad words Keyword Tool you can find keywords that could probably get huge impressions. I’m hoping to getting ~100K pageviews soon.

If 50% of those pageviews become adsense impressions- 50K impressions with a 1% CTR at 20 cents a click is already 100$ a day.

4. Add Keywords

Once subdivided your articles into paragraphs, go on Adwords keyword tool, then type “Affiliate program” and click on the button. Below, I’ve included a few result:

  • affiliate networks - €2,59
  • affiliate marketing - €2,94
  • affiliate - €2,21
  • affiliate websites - €2,25
  • affiliate programmes - €2,68
  • best affiliate - €2,40
  • adult affiliate - €2,26
  • affiliate sales - €2,63
  • affiliate income - €2,23
  • affiliates program - €2,19

As I said first, I’d rather to use keywords that are not pay high, but ones that bring a nice traffic on my site. In brief, you should to finding the happy medium between the pay keywords and average volume search.

In this case the term “Affiliate Programs” has an average value of 2.30$ while “Adwords Keyword Tool” provides an average search volume of 673.000. Not bad, but is preferable more high, at least 1.500.000. At this point, make sure you are incorporated each keywords that are focused on what you’re writing about into each paragraph.

5. Build Your Adsense Title

Use the step 1, to create a very focused title in which you can include the key term “Affiliate”. For instance: “How To Choose An Affiliate Program”. Reade my recent article on how use Adword tool to create a post titles.

How To Use AdWord Keyword Tool To Create Post Titles And Choose Blog Topics

If you are into internet marketing and you need to create an article from the ground up, an useful tool for bloggers that wanting to do a little research into topics is called “AdWords Keyword Tool”. This is a free Google tool that can be useful for advertisers that looking to find which keywords are target on Google but it’s also useful for bloggers wanting to research how many potential advertisers there might be on a topic.

I’ve already described this tool in detail in my recent article, so today I want to do a practice example on how I can use this strong tool in two way: 1. How To Using AdWords Keyword Tool to Chose a BLOG Topic. 2. Using AdWord Keyword Tool to Choose a POST Title.

1. Using AdWords Keyword Tool To Optimizing A BLOG Topic

I want launch a new blog and I want to research specific keywords to use in my blog’s title. I’ve choosed “domain name” as key term but I’ve narrowed down my interest to just “cheap domain name”. In the AdWord Keyword Tool I would simply enter in both terms and ask for keyword ideas. The tool will give me this:

 

adwords keyword tool

When finally arrive you have quite options available to you to analyzing the results: In the ‘advertiser competition’ columns we get an indication that tell us that there is a lot of advertisers competing for these keywords. This gives me an indication that if I were to use AdSense there would be a healthy amount of advertisements to serve to my blog.

In the ’search volume’ columns we get an indication approximate search numbers for the term per month in Google. In my view, is not showing exact value because the ‘domain name’ gets searched for on Google too than ‘cheap domain name’.

At this point take a look at Google Trends for the two terms:

Here we see if the topics they have seasonal spikes that’s a good thing to know when choosing a topic for a blog.

2. Using AdWord Keyword Tool To Optimizing Your POST Title

Another way you can use the AdWords Keyword Tool is to create a SEO friendly title that are able to increase your search engine ranking.

To testing this tool I decide to go to the AdWords Keyword Tool and type in ‘Affiliate Programs’ and ‘Business Affiliate Programs’.

As result I noticed that ‘Business Affiliate Programs’  get 201.000 as average search volume against 2.900 of ‘Affiliate Programs’. In this way I getting some clues as to optimizing my article for certain term and know which will be the search traffic that I can possibly get.

Website Metrics: What Does Bounce Rate Mean?

bounce rate

As I said in my recent article, before have success from affiliate programs, visitors not only should see and click on the ads, they also should complete a certain action as for instance, compile a brief contact form.

This is an action that every blogger  would like to achieve by own customers in order to be sure to result in a money. To do this, any bloggers should build a site structure with interlinks related content in order to encourage their user to click around.

Only a strong site architecture can result with a sale, subscription, bookmark and return visit. Another essential features to consider to monitor visitor engagement is the bounce rate, which is the percentage of initial visitors who leaves your site after arriving at the entry page.

Usually, when visitors arriving on your site tend to leave(bounce away) without exploring other pages. A great way to find your site’s bounce rate is by using stats tools like Google Analytics. If the bounce rate is low, means that the visitors are viewing your website are more engaged with your content.

The point to note is that bounce rates should be analyzed across different sources, a Digg reader is different from a reader that arriving from a search engine that looking for a specific topic.

How To getting more page views through Bounce Rate report

In general, the bounce rate says you how visitor read your site. One visitor are more pushed to click to other pages(call-to-actions) if find very relevant links.
Remember that the visitor who’s coming from a referral site or search engine knows nothing about your site.

Optimizes your webpage, creates links around content, connect any page in order to make navigation easy to access, so you assure your visitor who’s coming from a referral site or search engine to find that he want.

How I’ve said befor you must analyze bounce rates separately for the 4 sources of visitors:

Low-value referrers - Digg. People arriving through these sources usually tend to leave immediately a website. Don’t worry if this traffic source give high bounce rate values, you can  consider any value got from Digg or other social bookmarking as not influential for your website.

Direct links -These visitors could have some degree of interest on your website, but I think that people who come from certain links haven’t same interest as someone who actively enters from a search engine. In this case is better to check out these sites.

Search engine traffic - People arriving through these sources are really interested in the topic and they are those that should influence your Bounce rate. If they leave immediately, it’s a sign that something is seriously wrong with your landing pages.

A practice example of what I intend how website with excellent interlinking is the BBC. Take a look on how are positioned links on the sidebar. You’ll notice that site architecture is composed by the following links:

  • Links to feature articles with in-depth information.
  • Links to related content.
  • Links to a comment.
  • Link to forum to invite participation by readers.
  • Links to a Back story.

Conclusion

To best achieve this in a static site you should regularly analyze your bounce rate. Once amassing data, implement changes to your site and see if the bounce rate improves. If you’ve not paid any attention to your bounce rate before, try starting today. It might help you to dramatically improve your website.

3 Mistakes To Avoid When Choosing A Web Host

Not too many people start with blogging because there are so many uncertainties. Before you build a new site, take some time and do a self evaluation. The web isn’t going anywhere.

Creating a website can be easy, fast and economical(even cheap) if you know a few basic things about the process and understand how to evaluate service provides.

This is understandable given the desire of the business owners to save money. However, the investment on web hosting should be seen as an the money spent well in order to provide a return once the business is started.
  2. Not considering the answer of technical support. Another point to take consider is the answer of the technical support. There are a variety of ways companies using to contact their customers for give them support: email, phone, ticketing system, and even live chat. One way to check if there is personal support is during non-business hours. Imagine how much your blogging productivity could going down if you have a problem on your e-commerce site during a weekend.
  3. You should check how much storage and bandwidth you need for your site before you start shopping for a web host. Be carefully when you choosing web host that offers unlimited storage and bandwidth for some ridiculous price like $5/month.

Online Seo Optimization: How To get a short URL, D95.com Is Here

If you are a Wordpress blogger and you are curious about how you can start to create a shorten long URLs, this article can help you.

Is better have a URL that includes only 5-6 characters, than 10-15 characters when you send a link, right?

There are literally dozens of free services out there that make this things, If you make use of a Twitter client like Twhirl, you’ve probably used these already.

When I saw D95.com, I’ve thought it’s another URL shortening website. Today, I want say what is that will make you choose D95.com than other service that create  long short URL out there.

How Dows It WorkThe interface is all very easy to use, just insert any URL that you’d like. Once you go on d95.com homepage you are able to choose your own shortened URL. As you can see from this accurate image below, all you need to do is to enter your long URL, enter the word you’d like your URL to be and click the botton and voilà.

short url

I’ve choose like custom url the3d, so my code becomes: http://d95.com/the3d.

Other services follow their main domain with a complicated string of letters and numbers. Unlike most of the other other URL shortening websites, d95.com allows to completely mask the URL. It’s just like the redirects that you may use for affiliate links on your website or blog.

Usually, when you using other services you are redirected to another site with the “real” URL in full display. While D95 allows to do this, but it also possible to keep the shortened URL in the address bar too.

 

Seem D95 monetize from a simple 468×60 Google AdSense banner on the main page and that’s about it. Personally, I think this could be a bad idea to have an ad in any  page redirected, because people would get annoyed with that pretty quickly, and choose to use a different service instead.

What You Need To Know About The Google Keyword Tool Updated

Getting page ranked for certains keywords in Google’s search result is often the most important goal for web developers. Recently, Google updated their keyword tool. One nice addition to the Google keyword tool is the inclusion of actual numbers instead of the bars representing data. What does this mean?

In brief, improves the keyword research ability. It’s not a massive change, but an release actual numbers from their keyword data, as Yahoo.  On Google keyword tool you can choose which type of volume you want to display.

  • Approx search volume:june. This is the total number of search volume for th month.
  • Approx avg. search volume. This is the average per month search volume.

We can notice from the screen that the volume is going for the top “money” keyword phrases. Look the image to view the result below.

Test 1. In this example below, I’ve choose “Descriptive words or phrases” route, and I put as generic term “money” and set Google’s synonyms feature. We see what happens. How you can notice for the term “money” there’s an high “Aprox Avg Search Volume” value which means that is too competitive keyword.

Test2. In this second example I’ve changed the screen, enter the webpage URL on the radio button “Website content” to find keywords related to the content on the page. The screen will change to allow for a URL to be spidered. I want to see how Google sees this page’s which is very important in my SEO strategy. Because if Google can properly read this url, I’m probably going to rank well for the terms I’m targeting.

As you can see from this image above, the page is bad  optimized and “macbook” and “contest” are not two of the main keywords. In my view, this is very useful and good strategy worth your time to learn.

Google contains more than 100 algorithms that make it the world’s most popular search engine. One of hose is PageRank, a complex voting system where keyword is an important factor to create the own business because, just like any other product, blogs to can be positioned and should be positioned, especially if you want to make money with them.
