Ten Ways to Keep Your Website Unnoticed on the Internet

December 30th, 2007

If you are a person who likes to keep up with current trends you will know that it is important to have your own website. After all anybody who is Anybody Important has a website of their very own. However one of the dangers of having a website is that someone browsing on the internet might discover it one day and what is worse, actually pause to visit your site and read its contents! They might even be interested stopping for a while to read what you wrote in it, or want to buy the widget you thought might be good to sell as you have more than one of them. If you would like to reduce the possibilities of that happening be sure to follow these ten tips, and you can be sure that very few people will even know your website exists.

1. Choose an obscure domain name. Make sure the name you select has no relevance to the content of your site, to you or your business. Whatever you do make sure the domain name contains NO keywords that would indicate what your site is about and attract attention when someone searches for a site with your content or product.

2. Do not submit your website URL to any search engines, especially the big ones like Google, Yahoo, or MSN. Do not participate in any offers for your website to be submitted to search engines for free.

3. Never add fresh content or pages to your website. In fact it is a better idea to identically duplicate your content on every page.

4. Avoid reading anything about how to promote traffic to your website. One of the strategies might sink into your sub conscious, and you might find yourself promoting your site by accident.

5. Set up your website and then just leave it. Try not even to visit it yourself if possible in case your computer has tracking cookies. Any visits to your site could attract attention.

6. Make sure that you have a generic e mail address that you use all the time. An example of this might be a hotmail or yahoo address. Then when you write emails no one can track down your website through your email address. An address like me @mywebsite.com would just give the game away.

7. Even if you are passionate about writing, do not even consider writing an article and submitting it to a free article submission site such as Articles Beyond Better.Com. The problem with submitting an article is that you have to put something in the resource box which tells other people who you are and how to visit your website and buy your widget. It’s amazing how just one article can be reprinted all over the internet, and read by people all over the world. That kind of exposure is very harmful to secret websites which do not want to receive any visits.

8. Do not put a blog or bulletin board on your website. This just encourages all sorts of visitors who want to read what you write and ask you questions. Some people often make return visits, or even become regular visitors to blogs, forums and bulletin boards. After all it would be terrible if someone actually ‘bookmarked’your site and came back because they liked it!

9. Do not ever mention or put your website address on your business card, any promotional business material, or as a signature file on every e mail you send.

10. Choose an unreliable hosting service that has a bad reputation. In this way the server will not be up all the time, and people will not be able to access your site even if they wanted to.

By following these guidelines you can be pretty sure that no one will notice that your website exists. I hope you have plenty of money though, and are not wanting to make any income from your website. The problem with a website that is un noticed is that you still have to pay your hosting server every month for the privilege of your website taking up space on their server even if no one comes to visit it.

Is Pay Per Click Advertising For You?

December 28th, 2007

Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, which is also known as pay per performance or paid search, remains one of the quickest and direct ways of promoting your business, and driving targeted traffic to your website.

While it would be nice to achieve high natural (free) search engine rankings; organic rankings do take some time to take effect. And, with tens of thousands of website owners all competing for the same keyword search term, it’s a challenging prospect (and quite a rare one) to achieve top spot rankings for a popular search term, based solely on organic SEO.

How Does Pay-Per-Click Advertising Work?

PPC is simple really. Search engines like Google make their money by selling advertising space to website owners, and is generally the space you see running down the right hand side of the search results page, and across the top of the page; highlighted in blue. To get your website listed here, you have to pay, or bid against competitors for keywords; however you only actually pay the search engine each time a visitor clicks through to your website from the search engine. This is basically what Pay Per Click advertising is.

It is worth noting that you will only ever pay up to the maximum bid you place for each search term; generally speaking the higher you bid for a keyword, the more likely you are to appear highly in the search results. In addition, within Google, the position of your Ad will depend on its “Quality Score” (calculated from many factors), this reflects how relevant the Ad is to the search term. So in other words, by establishing a good quality score, you can move up the search listings paying a fraction of the price you would have otherwise. This is one of the reasons good management of keywords is essential.

The main benefit of Pay Per Click advertising, compared to relying solely on organic SEO, is that PPC ads can be live in a matter of minutes. With your website up and running, and armed with a credit card, you’re on your way to advertising on the web’s top search engines in no time. The key perk is that you control the budget.

PPC Advertising Programs: Google AdWords & Overture

There are two major pay-per-click advertising programs; Google AdWords and Overture (owned by Yahoo). Both services aim to deliver targeted, quality traffic from its own search engines and quality partner sites, and have recently introduced a number of beneficial features such as profit tracking and ‘return on ad-spend’ statistical features- very beneficial for those of you who don’t have your own e-commerce team.

Google Adwords is possibly the most popular service, one of the main reasons being that Overture has confused many of its advertisers and prospective customers by renaming its products numerous times.

Self Managed PPC Campaigns or SEO Consultants?

Many advertisers have problems converting click-through’s into sales, and others have no difficulties at all. A major factor contributing to the amount of profit your PPC campaign makes, is how well it is managed.

To produce profitable click-through’s you must be able to select and bid on the right, and relevant keywords that target your potential customer. Some keywords have extremely high bidding prices, so you need to be able to recognize if it is really going to be profitable to compete at such a high price. Will it not be just as profitable to bid a lot less and achieve a lower position?, say fourth place? Experienced PPC professionals are very talented in this field, and can ensure you get the most out of your advertising spend. So, if you’re not confident; a custom managed PPC campaign by an SEO professional is probably the best approach to take. Pay Per Click professionals also have mathematical modeling tools that can manage, and filter out keywords that are not performing.

The key to profitable Pay Per Click campaigns is targeting the right searcher, with the right keywords. Professionals in the field of SEO can invest the time and experience required to effectively manage PPC campaigns, in this now highly competitive, and forever changing arena.

With PPC advertising becoming eminently popular, and thus harder to manage, Tracey Simpson has wrote this article to help readers, and owners of e-retailer websites to understand the benefits of having their PPC campaign manged for them.

Easy Tips To Avoid Google Click Fraud

November 21st, 2007

Many web site owners are getting their Google Adsense account
terminated. I read on the forums almost daily posts from people
who are bemoaning the fact that Google has terminated their
account when they feel they have done nothing wrong to deserve
the punishment. In almost every case, click fraud is the reason
for termination.

Click fraud is the act of clicking on ads for the purpose of
costing the advertiser money. It is simply the same as paying
out cash for false leads. Many website owners are aware of this
fraud, and share the same sentiment that this is the one big
problem that Adsense is facing.

How do you prevent yourself from being involved in this fraud?

The majority of web hosts offer access logs. If you are notified
of click fraud and possible termination of your account by
Google, it is necessary that you hand over these logs to them to
clarify your situation. This allows them to look for any
suspicious activity on your site. Problems like this are very
serious and giving it to them is a show of good faith that you
want to help Google in any way you can to attempt to solve the
problem.

It can also help if you have a click monitoring software. There
are many good programs available, but it is important that you
get a program that has no limitations. there are free programs
available, but I would suggest that you get a script from a
certified expert in this field. I highly recommend using William
Bontrager’s script, available at
http://bontragercgi.com/programs/clickwatch. Mr Bontrager will
install this script on one site for you after the purchase of
the software, and will show you how to add the script to other
sites. Free scripts are also available on the Internet if you
are limited in funds. Remember, you get what you pay for. As
usual, all the information you will receive from your tracking
software should be turned over to Google. This is showing Google
that you too are fighting against click frauds and is in no way
a part of it.

Study your server logs and watch for any activity that seems
suspicious. Report anything that you may find odd, may it big or
small thing. Look for large spikes in traffic, and suspicious
activity in files and folders where people would not normally
have access to. Remember, that when working on your site, that
you will access these files and folders. It is suggested you
track these by noting the time of activity. A little work on
your part will save you a lot of grief in the long run.

You may want to consider disabling ads for your own IP address
and local geographic area. This will certainly prevent accidents
and will not make Google mistake another user as you. You can do
through the htaccess file on your web site. the process is too
detailed to go into further here, but if you do a search on the
engines to learn ways to access and disable portions of this
log, a lot of information is readily available. By doing this,
and showing Google that you have done so, you protect yourself
against any possible threat from Google.

Keep your Adsense off on pop ups and pop unders. Your ads should
not be displayed on content sites that promote illegal activity
or tampering of the legal rights of other people or business.
Included in this are the content that is considered adult or
gambling in nature, or promote firearms, tobacco, or drugs of
any kind. If you think that you may be breaking this rule,
immediately remove your content or Adsense from the web page.

Be truthful and confess up to Google about times when you might
have clicked on your own ads, whether accidentally or
intentionally. Be honest about anything that you may have done
that is wrong. Confessing is way better than Google learning
about it eventually. It would mean eventual termination and no
getting back what you have worked so hard for.

Do not tell your family or friends about Adsense on your
website. Chances are they may start clicking on them to help you
make money without you knowing it. They may be doing more harm
to you than help by trying it in the first place.

Most pay per click networks have different measures in hand to
protect website owners against click frauds. Other search
engines can track more than 50 data points, IP address,
browser’s information, user’s session info and pattern
recognition. They also have “systems” available that detects
fraud, not to mention the specialized teams monitoring how
things are going and helping advertisers stop click frauds.
Google has some of the best brains in the business, and it does
no one any good to try to “fool” them. In addition to the
algorithms that Google has in place, they also employ regular
people to surf the net to find illegal sites.

Google offers suggestion on how to avoid click fraud. Using
“negative keywords” can be used to keep your Adsense showing on
products and services that are in no way related to yours. Add
tracking URLs to your links so you can track the traffic coming
from Google.

Don’t be caught in the Google click fraud. The opportunity to
make a very decent income is readily available if you use common
sense, do not try to cheat Google, and follow their Terms of
Service. If you do these things, maybe some day you too can be a
member of the FedEx Club!

The Secret to Adwords Success

November 12th, 2007

It seems at the moment that everybody is telling you that the easiest and quickest way to make money online is with Google Adwords and affiliate programs.

It sounds so easy. You join a programme, get a link, choose a couple of keywords, put up an ad and the money flows. Many have tried and many have failed.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s possible to make money this way and to be very successful. There are many people making $100’s per day from their Adwords campaigns. But those that are successful don’t follow the herd, they think for themselves.

As with all things in life the greater success is found on the ‘road less travelled’ which means if you do what everybody else is doing you will get the results that everybody else is getting. And the fact is that everybody else, or at least the majority, are trying maybe making a little money, getting disheartened and moving on to something else.

We need to be different.

So what does our average money maker do? First he goes to Click Bank and visits the ‘Money & Employment’ category and he selects one of the top 10 products. That is not bad strategy but maybe we should be a little different if we must sell in the making money online space then why don’t we find excellent products that aren’t available on Click Bank.

A little but a bit of work at Google will uncover a number of directories where we can find products to promote. Or better still why not find out who the top names are in the making money online space and search out their affiliate programs. Yanik Silver, Marlon Sanders & John Reese all operate their own affiliate programs & these guys also have excellent materials that will help you to sell their products.

But even better still we could target a totally different market. There are millions of people spending millions of dollars on things other than how to get rich products. Checkout these links to see what people are searching on this month.

http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html

http://50.lycos.com/

http://buzz.yahoo.com/overall/

Once our Money Maker (MM) has selected the same product to promote as everybody else he then chooses the same keywords as everybody else to bid on at Google. He will type those words into the Keyword tool at Overture or into Adwords Analyzer. Then he will have a big list of the same keywords as everybody else promoting that product.

Do you think there might be a little competition for these keywords? You think those words might be expensive to bid on? You betcha.

What we need to do is think a little differently whatever market we choose there will be competition and if there is no competition it probably means that nobody is spending in this market. We need to think ‘outside of the box’. We need to get inside the minds of the typical buyer of a product. We need to think what related problems they may be having what other things they will be searching for and we need to create our own keyword list.

Finally MM writes one ad, that will show for all his keywords. His ad describes the features of the product. We on the other hand will write an ad highlighting the benefits of the product. All those eyeballs will be attracted to our ‘sizzle, not the sausage’. We will include a call to action.

We will have multiple ad groups separated out into themes, our ads will be relevant to the keywords in the group and we will have two ads for each group so we can see what works and what doesn’t. We will test, test & test some more.

Our success will be found on the road less travelled.

There is still plenty of room in the Adwords pool as long as we are prepared to think for ourselves and not expect a free ride.

Building Trust is More Effective Than Plain Online Advertising

November 6th, 2007

Online advertising is not a credible source. Many forget about
taking advantage of credible sources when they plan out to start
an online business; majority just put a lot of money aside for
online advertising. Having a lot of capital to gain exposure on
the web is good, and will most likely build some credibility to
your site, if you site turns out to look professional with great
service. Online advertising doesn’t guarantee any sale or
business for you, but usually, you can get some 0.05% conversion
rate with online advertising. Don’t get me wrong, you can get a
better conversion rate with online advertising too, but you will
be spending a lot of money.

So what’s better than online advertising? Building trust and
showing credibility of your site and business.

How do you do that? The easiest and most commonly used method is
press release of your new business or website.

Why is credible source so important? Because there are many scam
artists out there who can always use the same advertising
methods with keywords and etc to expose themselves like you. You
may be sincere with your business, but with all the scams out
there, we are losing the internet users’ trust.

Can’t scam artists use press release for themselves? Sure they
can, but it is an uncommon way to advertise for scam artists.
Press release don’t bring much traffic as it would with other
commonly used advertising methods, and it can be costly too.
Also, when you distribute a press release, hundreds of editors
and journalists will be reading your source, and if it turns out
to be not credible, you can be in big trouble.

So what can you do?

Don’t expect much in return with press releases, but you do have
some chance of getting more media interest from other companies,
which will get you more exposure, and it’s free. If you are a
lucky one, you can get millions of visitors to your site without
paying a dime for advertising.

Hire someone to write an appeal press release for you, and use a
distributing service to send your press release to other editors
and journalists. Get your press release to be added to Google
News and Yahoo News, as well as other major news search engine
sites. With the right service, you can get great exposure, and
get a good ROI.

Anything else?

Nothing can beat word-of-mouth advertising. It’s credibile and
it’s free. If your friend tells you that this particular
restuarant is good, you will keep that in mind and maybe go try
it out in the near future. And if you are happy with the place,
you may recommend to another friend, and that friend may suggest
it to another friend etc. It will cause a viral effect, and it
can really spread.

There are many other advertising methods out there, either
credible or not very credible. Depending on what you are doing
with your business, credible source may be very helpful.

Becoming an Internet Entrepreneur - Tips and Tricks

November 3rd, 2007

To get you fast-tracked, we have included a vast selection of tips and tricks to make your online business a success that it deserves to be.

1) First of all, choose a domain name that is somehow related to the business you are in. For example, if you are looking for a domain name for your pillow business, you might want to try using a name like www.SquarePillows.com or www.PillowSleep.com. It is important to use a “real” domain name. Your visitors will not take your business seriously if you use a free domain name like www.tripod.com/squarepillows , or www.angelfire.com/pillowsleep . A lot of the good domain names are already spoken for, but if you are patient enough, you will search and find one that is still available. If you think that you will need more than one domain name, get that one now too, as thousands of names are taken up each day. Do a search under “Google” using “cheap domain names” as your search words. You will find some very reasonably priced domain registrars. The cheapest one that I have found so far is at www.GoDaddy.com. They are a full service operation offering web hosting and cheap, cheap, cheap domain registration.

2) You will need a hosting service for your domain name. The hosting service allows your domain name and all of its content to be viewed on the internet. This is easy to handle. You have basically two choices here. You can pay for the hosting service or get it for free. If money is not really a problem for you, then you may want to choose the paid version. Just do a search using “Google” with “web hosting” as your search words, and take your pick from the thousands of sites. You will find that the price charged varies wildly depending the services required. Now if you want to explore the free version…. There are a lot of free hosting companies on the internet. The problem with these free hosting companies is that they all require some sort of pop-up banner, static header or footer banner, or both, to be placed on each and every web page. These banners can contain all kinds of advertising, and some, or all of it, may not be welcome to the viewers on your web site. The free hosting option is certainly not the best one to explore. To save you time, I would recommend www.GoDaddy.com again for the most economical hosting of your web site.

3) Once you have your domain name and hosting service taken care of, you will probably need a way of uploading your web content to your site. Sometimes your web hosting service provider includes a site manager that allows this function. If not, then you might want to look into downloading some FTP software such as WS_FTP for example at www.ipswitch.com. While you are downloading software, you may also want to add WINZIP – located at www.WinZip.com to your download list. WINZIP allows you to “unzip” your “PillowSleep” file for example. A file is initially “zipped” to compress it for ease of downloading. To use this download zip file, you will have to “unzip” it first.

4) Your “PillowSleep” site probably needs a little more customizing. Look at other pillow sites on the internet for comparison and see what could be improved visually on your site. Does it need any flashy graphics? There are many free graphics available on the internet - just do a search with google. Once you are happy with the way your web site looks, it’s now time to focus on that fun part – html coding. Unless you are very comfortable using “html” coding, don’t touch the “html” coding on the “PillowSleep” pages at all. If you are comfortable using “hml”, then you could add things like Title, Meta Keywords, Meta Descriptions, etc., which would allow the search engines to find your web site much easier. The use of “keyword phrases” is much more useful than just using “keywords”, because it makes your web site more search specific. Go ahead and add a “Pillow” links page too. Another tip is always keep a hard copy of your web pages somewhere, either on a floppy, cd, or dvd. There are few things worse than customizing a web site and if something bad happens to your computer or hard drive, losing the web content forever.

5) At this point, you probably already have uploaded your web site and have it online. Now you need to “drive” visitors to your site. One popular way of bringing traffic to your site is to use a free link exchange or free link trading service. For the free link exchange service, you just sign up and put a little bit of code on your “Pillow” web site (this allows other Pillow web site banners to be viewed on your site and vice versa). The free link trading service is very simple also. You simply add another pillow’s link to your links page and vice versa. This trading of links increases your sites popularity greatly with the search engines. One of the most important things you can do to gain traffic is to get listed with the major search engines. Go to each search engine, or use a free service like www.AddMe.com and add your web site there. There is also what is called “pay-per-click” search engines where you actually pay for traffic sent to your web site. Other search engines require payment in order to get listed with them at all. “Yahoo” is one of these “pay” search engines.

6) Please be advised that is illegal to “Spam” on the internet or via e-mail. Spamming is sending unwanted e-mails or putting internet advertising material, or internet material in general where it should not be. That being said, another method of marketing and promoting your site is to add your site to casino and gambling message boards and free for all links pages. Please check to see if it is ok to post your info there first, and in which category, and anywhere else before posting there. If you “Spam”, you risk losing your internet service provider, and possibly your web host with all of your web content. It’s just not worth the trouble.

7) Another way of promoting your site is to add your web site address to your business cards, and/or make up flyers and posters. Don’t forget to get permission before you post anything anywhere. If you have other web sites, add a banner and/or link to your “Pillow” site there. Make a t-shirt with your “Pillow” graphic and web address on it (on both sides of the t-shirt) for yourself to wear. If you want, add your “Pillow” graphic logo and web address to different products like baseball caps and coffee mugs, and give them away as promotional items. Buy an ad on a bus stop, or a small classified ad in the local paper, or radio ad, etc. How about getting two of those “12 inch x 12 inch” sticky, bendable, removable, flat, “magnet ads” made up at your local printing store to put on the sides of your vehicle’s doors. When you drive around the city, every body will see your web site ad and when you get to your destination, simply take the sign off until you leave again. How about putting one of your “Pillow” flyers or small posters on the inside of your vehicle’s rear side glass areas. Just make sure it doesn’t obscure your vision. The idea is to use your creativity here.

8) I hope these pointers are of good use to you. Good luck with your online web business!!!

Signatures — The Long and Short of It

October 25th, 2007

What is the accepted standard for signatures? Who sets these standards? The signatures in question are those blurbs that we include after the body of our main message content in our emails for the purpose of identification and contacts.

I’m really not referring to signatures in the respect that Usenet Newsgroups see them. It is pretty much agreed by established netiquette that Usenet signatures should be limited to five lines or less. They should, or may, contain:

  1. Your name: Doug Davis

  2. Your email: dougd@cros.net

  3. Your company: Northern Research

  4. What you do: Publisher

  5. Your URL: http://www.couch-potato-marketing.com/ezine

You can shave a line or two from the above by combining your name and email address plus your company with what you do:

Doug Davis dougd@cros.net

Northern Research, Publisher

http://www.couch-potato-marketing.com/ezine

Getting away from Usenet and, some lists, into the real nitty-gritty of internet marketing, signatures have become a way of sticking that extra ad in there. For better or worse we seem to be stuck with this practice, so don’t expect it to go away soon.

How wide should your signature be?

Text terminals usually had and have a width of 80 characters; this means they can display just as many characters in one row. This is the practical reason why the ultimate text width of email messages and sigs should be no more than 80 characters.

But this doesn’t work very well in practice. We reply, we forward, we quote, and each time we do we add those little angle brackets to the lines of text in our messages, “>>>>.” So we end up having short lines and long lines staggered throughout the text. This looks very unprofessional, even if you’re just sending to friends. That’s why all the recommendations for different line lengths. Some will not set their character length to anything greater than 72; some 74, others 76, etc.

In publishing ezines and newsletters online, however, the standard seems to be 65 characters. This is what most submission guidelines that I have read, recommend. My ezine wraps with hard carriage returns at 65 characters. Almost all of the article submissions I receive are wrapped at 65 characters. If they’re not, then I have to reformat them to fit my layout. I don’t like reformatting — it’s a time wasting task I could do without.

Naturally, sigs in my ezine, and many others, can’t be longer than 65 characters either.

How many lines?

It depends, I suppose, on where you are posting or sending your emails. Discussion lists should be about the same as Usenet, in my opinion. On the other hand if you are posting to opt-in mailing lists for the purpose of advertising your business offerings, there are no rules. It’s whatever you can get by with really. Who cares whether you have 20 lines of text and a 4-line sig? How about 4 lines of text and a 20-line sig?

I have exactly 128 separate sigs in my MS Outlook 2000 sig file. Some of these are actually 12 line, or more, ads; it’s just easier to paste them into the email that way.

Remember the aim of your signature is to be read. If you have a humongous sig it not only won’t be read, it will possibly provoke anger — an emotion you don’t need in your prospective customers.

Signature Dashes

The “signature dashes” actually is a line which is used as the first line of a signature. This is described in the “son-of-rfc1036″: If a poster or posting agent does append a signature to an article, the signature SHOULD be preceded with a delimiter line containing (only) two hyphens (ASCII 45) followed by one blank (ASCII 32).

The sigdashes act as a separator which allows easy recognition of signatures. This line consists of two dashes and a trailing space, ie “– ” (note the space) and thus can be recognized in a data stream as the character sequence “(newline)(dash)(dash)(space)(newline)”. Some programs recognize a signature by the (sigdashes).

Let me make this perfectly clear: There are no additional characters before, after or in between. This means no whitespace before the dashes, no additional dashes, one space at the end, followed only by an newline which ends the line. That’s it!

Synopsis:

If you are posting to newsgroups or discussion lists keep your sig as short as possible; try not to go over four lines. Personal messages probably should be the same; why would you need all that sig space when you have the entire body of the message?

When I’m posting ads to opt-in lists I usually don’t include a sig at all. I want the ad to be the focus, not the sig.

Traits of Super Adsense Earner

October 21st, 2007

To some others, Google AdSense is just like finding and digging money on the street, at everywhere and anywhere. There are story and “legend” about mom and dad, housewives, home entrepreneurs, retirees and even kids still studying are making and generating good money, some even hitting thousands of dollars good income per month with Google Adsense program.

For these people, whom I termed as “Internet Adventurers”, they could hardly earn a small little dime via the Internet (inclusive my humble self too) before this G’s Revolution (wow, “G’s Revolution!”). With Google Adsense, there is this door to have and “own the opportunity” in creating incomes comparable to working full time in brick and mortal world. By simply putting in Google AdSense Ads code on their website, or the more popular and easier way via blogging, you are all ready to go and become the next “Super G AdSense” earner.

We have even heard of those “Elite” groups who continuously refine their strategy and truly on track to achieve a million dollars per year or more thru their AdSense sites. But don’t be easily mistaken that these groups of people are just like ordinary man on street wondering around without clear objectives. They have a very clear direction of what to do, what should be done, and with a focus mind.

Over the time, I realized that there are 3 important basic traits of those “Super” Adsense Earners do have in common. To see if you could made it like what they did, let’s examine these basic and important traits:

1. Treat it as True Real Business of Your Own.

Learning from the “legend”, they really treat their AdSense business as a REAL business empire. They track almost everything they do. Follow this basic and foremost important strategy. Start to track what you did that truly produces the kind of desired result.

Analyze what’s work and what’s not working. Most people don’t even realize the reason of their own failure, and simply give up or blame it back on Google. By analyzing your own path, it could keep you from making the same mistake unknowingly again and again. And at the same time, you can just follow and repeat those areas that worked.

2. Decide on The Purpose of your Website.

The world is fair. You can’t have the best of everything. So you got to decide on the main objective for your website. What is its main goal? Your website cannot and should not be everything for everybody. It is not a junk place!!

Ok, if you decided to have a full fledged e-commerce website for business, filled with good selection of products, jointed up with other links with more selections…let me share with you, it is not an ideal site for Google AdSense Program. It is not the type of website you should be building for displaying Adsense ads.

The primary objective of such e-commerce site is to sell, so let it just do that. You would not want to confuse your valuable visitors with too many options, don’t you? What you want is to make them decide what they want fast, not browse around and close it because they simply can’t decide what to do. Help them to decide, and to decide fast.

After browsing around for some time, and learning thru other sites, my belief is that the best AdSense websites are truly built for AdSense. These are the sites that only provide content, and sell nothing at all but just feeding information. These are the websites that “Feed Information”, not intended to “Sell” anything at all other than providing information.

3. Stay Focus and Keep Your Consistency.

In order to be truly successful for the Google Adsense Program, you must stay focus and be consistent in building up your network. For you, this is not like those instances where you just have to build one site, promote, sell….etc.

Keep in mind that you must continuously building sites in order to achieve that kind of good income thru Adsense program. The more sites you build, the greater the potential of returns. But bewares, don’t simply spam the SE with junk sites.

Google is smart enough to know it, and your sites will face the consequences of being dropped and worst if your Adsense Account gets suspended. That’s the end of your Adsense venture. Full Stop and that is. Google hardly will re-activate a suspended account unless you have a real good out of this world explanation. And that’s if only you could reach the human behind its auto-responder.

If you are to see yourself as the next mega buck earner with Adsense program, ask yourself on the above traits. Do you have it? Can you discipline yourself in those mentioned areas? Be clear of ourselves before all other things come in. If the answer is a strong “Yes” – Cheer to yourself. But even if it is “NO”, we can always improve on it don’t we?

To reach success in whatever we do, continuous improvement is the key. Yeah, everyone is in rush and attracted to Google Adsense. Me too, looking forward to earn some income from Google AdSense. But well, till date I have yet to make it good.

Let’s look forward shall we?

Canon PowerShot A620 Review

September 29th, 2007

Is there such a thing as a perfect digital camera? Because many people prefer different features and different things when it comes to digital cameras, there is most definitely not one camera that is perfect for everyone. There are, however, some cameras that are practically perfect for most people, including the Canon PowerShot A620.

The Canon PowerShot A620 delivers such quality pictures, you will not be able to believe that you have done without it for so long. The Canon PowerShot A620 is also very versatile – it is not just your basic point-and-shoot camera. It has many different settings so that you can be creative and customize your shots.

In addition to all of its point-and-shoot features, the Canon PowerShot A620 can take 58mm filters by using the lens adapter which twists on and has a screw in at the wide end where you would normally put on the wide angle lens or telephoto lens. The adapter can act like a lens hood. Also, the this Canon has practically no shutter delay, and most Canon PowerShot A620 reviews agree that the flappable LCD screen is an excellent feature.

As if these great features of the Canon PowerShot A620 were not enough, the camera also has features that really keep the user in mind. It even has a special setting called “kids and dogs.” You know how kids and dogs will never sit still long enough for you to get a great photo. Well, with the “kids and dogs” setting on your Canon PowerShot A620 digital camera, your photos of your precious babies will come out clear.

The Canon PowerShot A620 has an awesome 7.1 megapixels of resolution and a 4x optical zoom / 4x digital zoom. It comes with auto and manual focus and also auto and manual exposure. It takes 4 “AA” batteries and has a movie mode with sound.

For optimal photo storage, it is suggested that you purchase a 256 MB card so that you can hold more photos than the 32 MB Secure Digital card that comes with the Canon A620 digital camera.

At last the answer to my prayers

September 28th, 2007

I am 71 years old and always believed in some way I could
generate an Internet income. I have tried many things but have
never given up, always believing I would find a way.

A few days ago a friend sent me an email advising me to take a
look at a particular website. He said someone by the name of
Brian Campbell who is a successful Internet Marketeer was giving
away a FREE training course like no other on the Internet.

So it not costing me anything to take a look, I punched in the
URL and downloaded it. I was amazed at what was there. Three
e-books and over twelve hours of videos with lots more to come.

He was giving anyone who wanted to take up the offer, the chance
to be as successful as himself doing exactly what he did,
leading you by the hand, step by step, nothing left out. Most of
the other “Guru’s” tell you how they did it, but Brian Campbell
shows you through the videos. It is just as if he was sitting
there with you, it is easy to understand, no techy mumbo jumbo.

One of the strategies he uses in order to be successful on the
Internet is what he calls the shotgun method. It is to be in a
niche market and he shows you how he finds a way to do this. He
advises to find a market that is big on sales. For example if it
were the health and nutrition market the keywords “health and
nutrition” would be so competitive that it would not be
advisable to just be in this market, so you would have to look
for products and services associated with this market. For
example a problem for people in the Health & Nutrition market
could be “high blood pressure” and you could have information on
how to combat this through natural products.

Taking the shotgun analogy as “health and nutrition” would be
the main market, where most of the shot would end up if fired at
a target, then as it splattered outward we would come to “high
blood pressure” and then further out we would come to “natural
remedy for high blood pressure”. This is just an example of how
this works. Our niche would be “Natural remedies for high blood
pressure”. .here the cost of all the associated keywords for
this market would not be so expensive.

This is just one of the many ideas and methods in this course
and it is all FREE. Too good to be true? YES but this time it is
TRUE. If you want to make it on the Internet I advise you taking
a look. I have found this to be so helpful and am indebted to my
friend for sending me the email. If you hang in there long
enough you will find a way. Thank you for reading this article
and I wish you every success.
