Each type of site works a bit differently. Therefore, your strategies should be a bit different for each of the three types of sites.

This guide contains a separate directory for each type of social website, as well assome tips on how best to approach using each of the three types of sites to yourbest advantage.

Social Networking Directory Suite :

Social networking sites (ex. Myspace and Squidoo) are websites where people come together to chat, interact, exchange ideas, and develop new relationships. In some ways, a modern day social networking website serves a similar function as did the “town square” or the “main drag” for your parents and grandparents.

It's a place where people go to meet other people and to .... socialize!

From a marketing point of view, social networking websites provide an opportunity to get your ideas and products in front of a lot of eyeballs. At the time of this writing (January 2008) social networking websites are among the most heavily trafficked of ALL websites online.
Practically all social networking sites allow you to create a personal “profile” that reveals, among other things, your personal interests. Other people can access and read your profile online, to learn a bit more about you.

Now if the idea of revealing personal details online makes you uncomfortable, just remember that you are not required to reveal your full identity, nor your location, phone number etc. You can even keep your email private if you wish – and we suggest that you do so. When creating your profile, focus your interests on the topic or niche of the website or product you wish to promote. Then, you can carefully invite profile readers to visit your website(s) and/or your blog(s) where they can learn more about your “topic of personal interest.”

There is nothing sneaky or unethical about this tactic, as long as you are providing informational value to your readers. Just remember – direct selling and marketing IS NOT ALLOWED in most social networking sites.
But you can direct interested parties to your blogs and sites if you do so with a bit of social grace.

Social bookmarking sites are a little different from social networking sites. Some allow you to create a profile. Most will require you to create an account with a username and password. That allows you to use the site and post “bookmarks” to sites that you like - and that you would like to share with other people. It gets really good when you realize that you can “bookmark” your own sites as easily as you can any other. By doing that, you're essentially creating backlinks for search engines to find and index, and you're also leaving a link for other users of thesite to find and follow. It's great stuff - but don't go overboard!

Do not swamp any social bookmark site with link after link.

It's best to build your links slowly over a period of time – a long term “organic” approach if you will. Most search engine optimizing (seo) experts agree that a slower organic approach to traffic and backlink building sits better with Google. In Google's eyes (no pun intended) it isn't natural for a site to go from 0 to 50,000 visitors in a week's time.

We also suggest that you develop some kind of promotion journal (maybe in Excel) so that you can keep track of each action you take regarding your sites, and the social bookmarks you create for them. Remember, a vital key to successful social bookmarking is to use popular keywords as tags. When you tag your bookmarks with keywords and key phrases that people are actually using in regular search engines, you will be much more likely to draw traffic to your sites through your publicly shared bookmarks.

More and more people are not only watching videos for their information, but more marketers are starting to use them as well to get their messages to the end user. If you are not using videos to some degree in your marketing efforts, then you are missing a great opportunity to capitalize on this growing market.

Basically, you can create a video using screen capture tools – from capturing you surfing websites, to making a video screen capture of you going through a PowerPoint presentation, to a video screen capture of you using Notepad.

And really, it is not all that complicated. After all, new things are no longer frightening after you've done them a few times.

What you will need is a video screen capture program, a cheap microphone, and if you want to create videos of PowerPoint / Word / Notepad presentations, you will need those programs as well (fear not, I have a free option for those as well!)

Video Screen Capture Programs:

Not Free:

Camtasia ($300) is without argue, one of the best screen capture utilities available –but it is also $300! If you can afford it, I would highly suggest you get it. But it isnot necessary ;-)

BECAUSE …
Here are some alternatives – some completely free and one that is VERY CHEAP for what it can do! There is a free version of Camtasia available for download. Camtasia was actually created from a program called Cam Studio....which is free.

You can download it here: Free
http://www.camstudio.org
Camstudio – this is a free but quite good video capture software. It isn't Camtasia,but it doesn't cost $300.00 either.Another free option is called The Jing Project. The Jing Project is actually made by the creators of Camtasia, but is free and is super easy to use!!!

Check it out at:

http://www.jingproject.com

If you are a Windows XP or Vista user, you already have a built in video creator. It’s called Windows Movie Maker. Please do not email me with your arguments against that software or for another.All I'm saying is that it's there .... and it's up to you to decide if you can use it. Look for Windows Movie Maker in your Start => Programs menu.

If it is not installed on your system, try this link for help:

Truth About High Paying Keywords In Google Adsense

2008-04-20T04:14:00.000-07:00

You will find many sites that will sell you lists of "High-paying AdSense Keywords" or list of keywords that will "Sky-rocket your AdSense earnings overnight"

They make you feel that if you purchase their lists and make your sites based on these keywords, your AdSense earnings would touch the sky.

According to them, Google pays you around 50% of the keyword cost. So if someone clicks on the Ad, for a keyword costing USD 50, you will earn around USD 25...Cool!

But not so cool!

If it was that easy, you would find gazillions of AdSense success stories. Things are not so simple

How many of the people who sell such lists have actually profited themselves from those keywords? I can bet on my Adsense business....NO ONE!

Currently i have more than 1,50,000 keywords that i use to drive traffic to my sites. So maybe, i know a thing or two about AdSense and keywords. Every day when i look at my stats i know what the real truth is. And the truth is not what you think.

** The Truth **
Google never discloses what perce.n.tsage it will pay to the Adsense Publisher. And there are too many factors involved which determine how much Google will pay you.

As i mentioned above, if Google paid everyone 50% on a keyword costing USD 50, you would become filthy rich in no time. Ohh wish life was so easy!

For many so-called high-paying keywords, Big G sometimes pays me not even 10 ce.n.tss. Can you believe that ?

Yes thats true. Less than 10 ce.n.tss for a HIGH paying keyword.

Agreed, there are times when i do receive USD 25 per click, but those are very very rare cases. And those same keywords give me 10 ce.n.tss the next day. So you can NEVER BE SURE how much a click would earn you.How much Google will pay you depends on factors such as
your landing page, your content, Google's smart pricing, the Advertiser's cost of that keyword, and various other factors beyond your control.

So NEVER build your AdSense sites according to High paying

**keywords**.

This is what you SHOULD do instead... Build your sites according to high-paying **niches**.

If you get hold of any keyword lists from any site, You will notice that most of these keywords are about finance, health, lawyers, business etc.

So build your sites based the above niches, and their sub-niches.These niches are generally profitable because advertisers here have got money to spend on Adwords. And hence they are
generally profitable for the AdSense Publisher too.This doesn't mean other niches are not profitable.
Many are. But the above niches are where our focus should be

So you want to know the secret of succeeding in AdSense ?

1. Select several such profitable niches
( more, the better )

2. Make websites for these niches
(using Google Adwords will make your life much easier)
3. Drive traffic using PPC.
( use Yahoo, because its easy and cheap )

4. And yes, dont forget to regularly track cost/earnings.

That's exactly what i have done.

If you do the same, You will see amazing results.
That's a promise.

12 Must-know Tips To Avoid Getting Banned From Google Adsense

2008-04-20T03:46:00.000-07:00

Although Google's Adsense program is an excellent way to earn, we need to understand that Google is a company that cannot be messed around with! We should not abuse the system in order to make a quick buck. Many website owners, knowingly or unknowingly, violate Adsense
Terms And Conditions and subsequently get banned.

If you are really serious about earning from Adsense, make sure you do not do anything that can get yourself banned. I have listed 12 things that you should NEVER even think of doing.

1. Never, I repeat, never click on your own Ads:
I think this is one of the biggest reasons why Adsense accounts get disabled. This seems obvious, but its surprising how many people actually do that intentionally.

If you think by clicking on your own ads, you can fool Google, you are highly mistaken. Google has got its own proprietory technology to find out if the publisher has clicked on his own
ads. And once they know that, your account is in jeopardy. Google wants to protect the investment of its advertisers, and it will never tolerate any false clicks. So make sure you do
not make this foolish mistake.
2. Never, I repeat, never tell others to click on your own Ads

I often see click-swapping on Adsense forums. Its kind of If you want a strong Adsense business, stay away from trouble. Dont ask even your friends, relatives or employees to click on
your ads. Do not provide any kind of an incentive to anyone for clicking on your ads.

I feel one good way to protect yourself is not to disclose your website's domain to anyone. Keep it to yourself and you are safe!

3. Never, I repeat, never modify Google's AdSense code

This is against Google's policy. Just use the code as-is. Dont
play around with it at all.
4. Never, I repeat, never put pictures next to your Adsense Ads.

This is a relatively new policy. When i started with Adsense, this rule did not exist. Moreover, what Google actually wanted with this policy was never very clear. Nor did Google do a
good job of clearly defining what is allowed and what is not.

Even i had put some pretty images next to my Ads, and achieved excellent CTR. But here is a rule of thumb. If you are in doubt, ALWAYS play safe. When this policy was enforced, i did not waste a moment removing images that were next to my my Ads. After
all, I love my Adsense account, too!

My suggestion : If you have images next to your adsense ads,
remove them immediately

5. Never, I repeat, never title your Ads the wrong way.

You are not allowed to label your Ads with messages like "Click Here", "Related Links" or anything else that misleads people into thinking that it is not an Advertisment.

You are however allowed to mention "Advertisements" or "Sponsored Links", because your ads are actually Advertisments. And Google is OK with that. If you want, you may prefer not to put
any label at all.

6. Never, I repeat, never put Adsense on pages that do not have enough content.

Yeah, this is something that web-masters may not be aware of. But Google allows Adsense only on pages with good content.

Therefore it is not advisable to put ads on Thank You pages, subscription pages etc. Make doubly sure that you have Ads only on pages with good content.

This also means that you should not put your ads on sites with junk content. Any site that doesnt really add value to the visitor is considered to be a junk site

7. Never, I repeat, never put Adsense on sites that have got prohibitive content.

Make sure you do not have Ads on sites that have got anything to do with drugs, pornography,
hatred, gambling etc.

Again, this is self explantory, but some people simply don't understand!

8. Never, I repeat, never create multiple Google Adsense Accounts.

Google allows you to have only 1 personal account and 1 business account. Google links these two accounts. Never try to fool Google by creating different accounts under different
names.

As long as you do not get caught, its fine. But if Google traces these accounts as being used by the same person, all your accounts are in danger of being suspended.

9. Never, I repeat, never enlist your site in any kind of

auto-surf or traffic exchange programs.
Again, this is against Google's TOS. So stay clear of it.

10. Never, I repeat, never exceed the amount of ads you can display on a page.

Currently Google only allows 3 Ad blocks, 3 Link units and 2 referral buttons to be put on one page.I personally feel Google has allowed more than what is required. So, i dont know
why would you ever want more than this!

11. Never, I repeat, never reveal your Adsense Data

Google doesnt allow public display of your CTR, Impressions, eCPM etc on forums, eBooks, websites or any other publicly viewable media.

But Google doesnt have any objection if you mention how much you earn from Adsense.

12. Never, I repeat, never stay outdated!

Google's policies are constantly changing. It will help if you know what changes are taking place in the world of Adsense so that you can update your sites if required.

If you get banned by Adsense for whatever reason you cannot give the excuse that you were "not aware" of the policy. This will not be of much help. So know the waters that you tread on!
This article, by no means, is a comprehensive list of Adsense Policies. I highly recommend you go through all the policies in details. And never even try to cheat the system.

20 Powerful Ways to Boost Your Adsense CTR

2008-04-18T22:21:00.000-07:00

How To Become A Successful Adsense Sucker ?

Another great article for you. It is a bit long, but really worth it! Enjoy and learn!
Most people think that just by placing the Adsense code onto their website will start earning them big checks! I am not ashamed to admit that even I thought the same when I was new.
But I soon realized that if I do not optimize my Ads, it is impossible to achieve a good income from Adsense.

In order to earn big Adsense checks, you have to have a good CTR (Click Through Rate) CTR is the number of clicks an ad receives divided by the number of times the Ads are shown. A high CTR means more people are clicking on your Ads.
In this article I would like to share everything I have learnt to boost my Google Adsense CTR. If you follow these tips, you will see an instant jump in your CTR.

In order to achieve a very high CTR ( 30% ) it is important that the following points are taken care of :

1. Google should serve Ads relevant to your niche.
2. You should have the right kinds of Ad formats place in the right places
3. Your Ads should be properly formatted

If you take care of all the three points above, you are guaranteed to have a CTR greater than 30%
Have Google serve relevant Ads
We have to ensure that the ads that are being served by Google are closely related with your content. This is very important because if your ads are not relevant your visitors will not
click on them. Here are some tips to ensure that Google displays relevant Ads on your site Mention your niche keyword in your Title Tag :One great way is to mention your main keyword in the Title tag of your page. This will tell Google that your keyword must be in integral part of your content; otherwise you wouldn't have
mentioned it in the title.Mention your niche keyword several times in the body of your content :
Mention your keywords a couple of times in the body of your content. This will tell Google what your page is all about. Please do not go overboard with this. If you put your keywords
too many times, Google will think you are trying to spam.
Make your keyword Bold :
It also helps to bold your niche keyword, so that it stands out.You can also use H1 tag for highlighting your keyword. Again, by doing this, Google will feel that the keyword is very relevant to your site's content

Have descriptive names for your images :
If you have images on your page, give relevant names to the image files. For example, if your site is on bicycle, call your images bicycle1.jpg and bicycle2.jpg and not image1.jpg and
image2.jpg.

Do not have too much content on your page :
This is contrary to what many Gurus feel. Having too much of content on the page has got two disadvantages. Firstly, your keyword density for your main keyword decreases and Google may
not understand exactly what your page is all about.Secondly, if you have too much of content on your page, your visitors will get what they are looking for, and will not be tempted to click on your ads. This will adversely affect our CTR

Use a descriptive file name :
This tip is often overlooked by webmasters. But its quite effective. If your page is on bicycles, call your page www.yourdomain.com/bicycles.htm and not
www.yourdomain.com/bi.htm

This will again help Google understand what your page is all
about and hence it will deliver relevant Ads

Ad Formats and their placement

Google provides dozens of Ad formats that you can use on your site. These ads are of different sizes. Some of them are completely ineffective. But some are really powerful. Once you know what kinds of Ad formats to use, you should take care of placing them at the right places. If they are not placed strategically, they will not be clicked on often enough.
Here are some tips to choose the best kinds of Ad formats and optimum placements Use Large
Rectangle (336 x 280) as your primary Ad format :
The Large Rectangle (336x280) works like a charm because it has proven itself to be the best performing format. If you place it "above the fold", its magic!

Use Wide Skyscraper (160 x 600) on the Left/Right border :
The Wide Skyscraper 160 x 600 performs very well on the left or right side of your screen. I prefer putting it on the left side because it gets seen more than the right side..

Do not neglect the Link Unit! :
A Link Unit is one of the most under-utilized Ad format. But if used correctly, and in the right position, it can be really profitable format if put in the right place. It is supposed to
be placed near your navigation menu. Most people will think it's a part of your navigation menu and automatically read it. And if the ads being served are very relevant to your niche, they
will cli'c'k on it!

Try using a Link Unit format that has 4 keywords in them. Thisis because the size of the ad text would be slightly bigger, andlook more like a navigational menu. Also make sure to make the
border color blend with your website's background

Hey, we also have Search Boxes! :
Don't forget that Google also provides us Search boxes that we can put on our site. Do not put them above the fold. But them in a less prominent place further down the page. Bottom of the page or somewhere on the left side below the fold is perfect. Do not expect much money from Search boxes, but anything that comes in extra counts!
Avoid Image Ads : Google also has an option whereby you can select image ads to be
displayed instead of your text ads. Try to avoid this because people are more responsive to text than images.

Have your Ads above the fold :
This is one of the most important tip to increase your CTR. The term "above the fold", comes from newspapers. Any news above the fold on the front page of a newspaper will be read more than any other part of the newspaper. The same rule applies to
AdSense too.
Here, "above the fold" means the top position of your screen that is visible without the user having to scroll down. So if you place your Ads "above the fold", it will be visible to
everyone, and they won't have to scroll down. Your Ads are therefore more likely to get clicked. Also, the area above the fold loads before the rest of the page. So this is by far the
best location for Adsense Ad placement.

Try not to have any other links "above the fold" :
This may not always be possible. But if you can, remove all links that are "above the fold". The only links displayed should be your Adsense Ads. By having any other link, you are giving your visitors the option of clicking on them. This will decrease your CTR. If you do not have any other links, your visitors will sub-consciously be forced to click on your Adsense Ads. This will shoot up your CTR.

Do not neglect the bottom of your page! :
If you have followed the above points, you will find that most people click on the Ads above the fold. But there will be some who will go down the page. And when they reach the end, they
normally think "what next?" To help them, we should have an Adsense Ad to bid them farewell!! By placing an Adsense ad at the end of the page they will often click it!

Formatting Your Ads

We have all got something called "Ad-blindness". That means we have been sub-consciously conditioned to ignore Ads. Most of the time we completely ignore banners on web pages. We run away from anything that remotely resembles and Ad!
The same is with Adsense. If we want to make our Ads noticed, we have to make sure that they do not look like Advertisements. We have to format our Ads so that they seem to be a part of our
content. Once your Ad blends with your page and your content, you will see amazing CTRs.
Here are some tips to properly format your Ads so that they don't look like Ads.

Make the background of your Ad the same as the background of your page :
If the background of your web page is white, make sure the background of your Ad is white too. Our main aim is to make the Ad not look like an Ad. If they look like an Ad, they will not
be clicked upon. No one wants to click on Advertisements, right? We want our Ad to look as if it's a part of our content. So make sure the background of your Ad is the same as that of your
page. This will do wonders for your CTR.

Remove the border of your Ad :
Again, this follows the same principle as above. If you put a border around your Ad, they will look like Ads. They will scream aloud, "This is an ad!" And this will kill your CTR.

If you remove the border, they will blend with your content.

You might think this is something trivial but many people report a massive increase in their CTR, just by removing their border. So let the border go by having a similar color as your
background

Provide ample free space around your Ads. :
Do not make your Ads look cluttered. Have enough free space around them to make them look neat. And if you have blended it well, your CTR would see an instant jump.

Remove additional titles like "Sponsored Links" or "Advertisements" :
Google allows you to mention titles like 'Sponsored Links' or 'Advertisements' above your Adsense ads. I suggest you do not mention anything like this at all. Why would you want to
tell your visitor that they are Ads when Google already displays 'Ads by Gooooogle'?

Change the Link color to Blue :
This has proven to have a positive impact on my CTR. This is because the color Blue symbolizes a link. We have got used to seeing links in blue. So if your Ads have a clickable blue link,
they are more likely to get clicked.

Make the color of your URL and the color of your Ad's text the same :
This again, is often overlooked. If the color of your Ad text is the same as the color of your Ad URL, it will make the URL blend, or melt, thereby making your blue link more visible. This will
make your Ads more clickable!

If you follow the above points, you can be assured to achieve CTRs that most people only dream of. Achieving a CTR of 30%-40% would be normal!
