Some inappropriate Google ad placements | AdKlicks

One of the most common trick being employed by publishers using Google Adsense as a revenue model is to place Google ads that have maximum chances of accidental clicks. While it is a good idea to blend the ads well with the content, certain ad placements can land a publisher in some trouble with Google.

Before continuing any further, I would like to add that Google has two sets of rules. To premium publishers, earning beyond a certain sum, Google does provide a relationship manager and allows the sites to display more units of ads as well as allows the ads in such a way that “Ads by Google” word gets hidden. The idea being shared today is to warn against certain placements that are against the Google terms of service.

Getting best out of Digg | AdKlicks

For better PR or for better traffic or ranking in search engine results, social networking sites are fast gaining prominence. Digg, deli.cio.us or stumble upon have fast emerged as the leading social networking sites. Does linking to these sites help? Today there are dozens of site that encourage swap digging each other’s post. As the system stands to day, digging is resorted to generating back links so that the site gets better PR, ranking and traffic.
1. Digg users have poor ad- click rate. Webmasters (pun intended) have a sort of ad-blindness and have low ad click rate.
2. Digg visitors would have tendency to comment on your site on Digg itself and not on your site.
3. Mostly tech geeks are known to visit digg and visitors for other commercial sites have low tendency to refer digg.
4. The digg link of the site normally appears before the actual link of the site, which the digg points.

I am not trying to discourage use of digg here, but this is a request to webmasters not to exploit the system by artificially creating fake “diggs”. A good content, a fresh news, or other tech savvy article does get good traffic. It may accompany a poor ad click rate, but nevertheless it increases the visibility rate of your site, if the content is good, it will add to returning visitors as well.

The myths and facts about Google Page Rank | AdKlicks

Higher page rank, which essentially is a result of number and quality of links that a page has, is any webmaster’s dream. Common experience is that higher page rank may not mean higher traffic too.

Google has not declared much about the algorithm that governs page rank. The chase for page rank is old school thinking. No doubt that Page Rank does not ensure website ranking and thus traffic, but as a web user what do we want; whether the results should come sorted in order of relevance of content or the page rank?

To the question, that page rank does not guarantee traffic, answer is should search engines rank the result by page rank or the relevancy of the page to your search query? For ranking in search results, apart from page rank, other factors as font size, title, headings, anchor text, word frequency, word proximity, file name, directory name, and domain name play important role.

Since we are unlikely to get a definitive answer from Google as to how its Page Rank affects the ranking of the results, can we afford to ignore the Page rank?

A site with high page rank is quite likely to get higher ranking where keywords match.

Develop Natural Links for Higher Google Page Rank | AdKlicks

In 1997, when I first started my own web site, I first installed Alexa Tool Bar that indicates the number of incoming links to your site and I was fairly impressed with the number of links that some sites had. Honestly, at that time I had no idea as how one link differs from others and it was only after lots of highs and lows in internet business that I realized what the links mean and how a bad link differs from a good link in terms of overall ranking of your site. for my first site that I had (I have since sold off that site), I accepted left right and centre all requests for incoming links or reciprocal links and started hoping that soon Mr. Google would be too impressed and started raining me with traffic and its much sought after PR. Of course both remained elusive till long and then in a rather hard way I learnt few lessons, which I am sharing with you.

Few Site Optimization Secrets that would grow your site's presence in search engines | AdKlicks

As a site optimization professional, quite often I am frustrated with the tricks that some site optimization professionals play on unsuspecting webmasters. Quite often, a client is kept in dark about the role that an optimization expert would play about the site and whether in hurry to prove himself in double quick time, would he employ some shady methods to prove himself that would end up webmaster paying a heavy price later on in terms of search engines shunning his site as no good. I would also like to advise potential clients that getting higher ranking for a small / medium time webmaster is a long process that may take few months and in a hurry to gain high traffic they should not commit themselves to any offer that looks too good to be true, unless the SEO is willing to share what exactly are his plans to do about your site. Of course, most SEO wont share their secrets.

I would like to share some very powerful tips with you that would help you optimize your site better and would give you a bit of idea about how it would help search engines index your site faster. For detailed reading, would suggest you to click the link below:

Help Google fall in love with your web site. | AdKlicks

Programming and keeping your site abreast with the latest trends and practices is an ongoing phenomenon. Problem in site optimization is that in case you are trying to cheat a search engine, it is detected in few days time and you are gone and in case you are on ethical route, you are competing with millions of others, who too are following the similar route as you are. Loosing out traffic from a major search engine is definite way to loss of real sales and conversions. In fact, I tend to lose most of my clients, when I insist that there is no shortcut to getting links on search engines over night and right path starts from first having lots of original content. However, this statement is also half truth. If you have a body, you need to flaunt it. If you have content, you need to get it indexed on search engines and you would agree that you would need to do it rather fast. I would deliberate on few measures that you need to do and rest assured you would have traffic you can dream of.

While you are contemplating designing a new site or are frustrated with an old site that you are unable to get traffic for; follow the following suggestions, as derived from experience of many web masters as well as from Google’s guidelines to webmasters.

The difference between Beautiful and Smart sites | AdKlicks

It is not that whatever web design you will put up a site, submit it to the search engines and the traffic will magically pour in. Unfortunately it takes more than that to drive search engine traffic to your site, and even more unfortunately most developers don't program with SEO in mind, nor do they educate the client about the process involved in gaining traffic from search engines.

Why getting listed on Yahoo is different | AdKlicks

What makes yahoo different from most other search engines is that Yahoo is both a search engine and a directory edited by humans. Unlike spiders and bots used by most search engines, Yahoo has a team of professionals that manually review your site and approve it.

This explains why free submission at yahoo takes a long time and express submit service, a paid service, makes it happen faster. Presently, Yahoo charges annual fees of US$ 299 from Commercial web sites though, if you have a content rich web site, Yahoo surfers are likely to include your site without you ever submitting

Yahoo accounts for approximately 38% of the search engine traffic. No webmaster would be prepared to lose this large source of traffic. To read more about listing on yahoo, read complete article by clicking the link below.

Boost your earnings through Google Adsense | AdKlicks

Since the launch of Google adsense in late nineties, it has fast become the preferred way for many webmasters to earn money online. I am indeed happy to note that many good sites are sustaining themselves only on adsense and are able to provide quality information to visitors which otherwise would have come at some price. It has more success stories than eBay and other similar programs put together.

Some simple tweaks can help you earn much more from your site. I would recommend some simple steps as:
Matching the color Code: One of the effective methods to increase the ad click rate is to use the ad color palette exactly with the site back ground color or Ad heading color should exactly match with the page heading.

Don’t use too many ad units as it creates sort of ad-blindness. Avoid leaderboard ads. People are generally blind to leaderboard image ads.

Better paying keywords would trigger better paying ads and hence better the revenue.

Do go thorough ad sense optimization tips and tricks given on the site.

Google’s new 5 ad unit links have better click through rate. I have come across many sites discussing Hollywood celebrities but where page shows up ads as far off related as Oracle-ads.

Make pages rich with content and not just for getting adsense ads.

Avoid Getting Banned from Adsense-Some precuations and alternatives

Borrowing a sentence and distorting the same partially from a US Court case against Google, if it is said that “The web is becoming increasingly ‘Googlized”, it would not be wrong. Existing in a web space without Google has virtually become unimaginable. Whether you may need getting fully indexed by Google, or monetizing your site through adsense or ranking high in Google search results or be it getting page rank for your pages; what ever be your reason, you are going to need Google. After all, it has become a sort of objective source of finding content on the internet.

Adsense has revolutionized the web space and has offered a great way to monetize the site. However motivated by greed, competitors action, spamming, duplicate content or not following google's terms of service can lead to banning of the account. Google bans the account for life and publishers are not allowed to participate further in adsense.

So, what precautions should be taken by a webmaster, what should be the steps taken if banned from adsense, and what are the alternatives to adsense etc are few issues that I have discussed in two articles.

I am pasting here links to both the articles and I hope you would find them useful
