I'm officially joining the Paradise Philippines SEO contest. This will just be one of my numerous contest entries. Why so many entries? Because the more entries, the more chances of winning. Just read the rules here if you want to join too.No, don't expect that I'll be posting about the beauty of the Philippines as a paradise here. That's why I just changed the title to Paradise Philippines

This is based on my personal experience. One of my blogs is averaging 600 unique hits everyday but my Feedburner subscribers were only 30 at the average. After doing some changes last February 9, I was able to increase the subscriber 3x in just 3 weeks. I already hit the 100 feed subscribers today.Here is the list of what I did:I enabled full feed subscription.I enabled e-mail subscription. I put

Adsense revised its pricing structure for referrals: AdSense Referrals: * When a publisher who signed up for Google AdSense through your referral earns their first $5 within 180 days of sign-up, you will be credited with $5. * When that same publisher earns $100 within 180 days of sign-up and is eligible for payment, you will be credited with an additional $250. * If, in any 180-day

I finally switched to the new Blogger (because Blogger forced me to upgrade!), upgraded my template and did some tweaking so as to come up with this layout. I'm still figuring out how to post the Adsense ads inside the blog post, i.e. the post will wrap around the ads. This is my first post using the new Blogger. I'm still using the classic template on my other blogs. I'll move to the new

I'm not sure if this is true, but it happened to my ituloy angsulong contest entry recently. I've got 8 broken internal links as reported on my Google Sitemaps account, and on that same date, my blog rankings on Google SERPs dropped. It was a tremendous drop that I can't find my blog on the top 100 for the ituloy angsulong keyword! The broken links occured when I removed some of my recent posts (

This is a major development in Google Adsense implementation. I think, most blogs that I've seen need to check their Adsense implementation because they might be violating the TOS. Inside Adsense recently discussed about placing images near your ads. Most people says it's okay as long as there is a border between the image and the ads. Someone even made a Wordpress plug-in for it and called it

For the past couple of weeks, I've been busy studying different things so as to increase my Adsense earnings. I studied a little bit of Javascript and came up with the following tweak so as to put your Adsense ads inside your post. You will see this code at work at my Wantusawa blog. You'll notice that the Adsense ad is actually inside the post. So, how did I do that? Here is the step by step

For the past few weeks, I've been looking for a tweak on Blogger to put a "Continue Reading here" on the main page and archive page, forcing the reader to go to the permalink pages where your advertisement are more relevant. I can't find a decent tutorial on the net, but I did find some Blogger blogs with such kind of functionality. What I did was to study their techniques (by reading the source

by: SeoAmitPatelEven in this era of technological breakthroughs, many website owners have a wrong idea about web directories. They think these web directories are simply a way to gain a one-way incoming link. Inclusion in the different web directories is seldom perceived as more than a one-time entry event. The aim is to get listed and obtain the inbound link, for better of for worse. Traffic

Do you have incoming links to your blog in http://www.***.blogspot.com format and http://***.blogspot.com format? The bad news is that Google treat each links differently, as if they are pointing to 2 different pages. This is the reason why my http://marhgil.blogspot.com currently has a Pagerank of 5 and http://www.marhgil.blogspot.com has a Pagerank of 3. Imagine if these links were treated as

You won't believe how much blog money these guys are making.Marc Macalua, the SEO expert gave us some tips on on-page optimization. One of his tips is to make a unique meta tag description for each page. He showed us how to do it in Wordpress, but unfortunately,

I tried using the Competitive Ad Filter feature of Google Adsense and my earnings per day tripled overnight! I still get the same number of clicks, but the amount I get per click increased 3x!What I did was to block those low paying advertisements. Which advertisements are these? If you see advertisement that says, "Here are the top sites on..." or "We've got the chosen sites on...", block them

For the past few days, I kept on experimenting on my Google Adsense placement. If you are not new here, you will notice that I removed the 160 x 600 Wide Skyscaper ad on my left sidebar. Instead, I used the 728 x 90 Leaderboard now, just below the Google Search box. I just found out that it performs better than the Wide Skyscraper. Maybe because it can be seen easily by the visitors, and it seems

After doing some Adsense experimentation, I have come to the conclusion that wrapping around your blog post to the Adsense advertisement generates a higher click thru rate. The use of wider ads like 336 x 280 works best. Blending ads to your background color and removing the borders gives higher click thru rate.Many readers are asking me, how were you able to wrap around your blog post to the

The title tag is one of the most important tags in your website/webpage/blog if we are talking about SEO. Search engines prioritize this tag when someone search for a certain keyword. Though to the ordinary blog readers, it is nothing but a simple title at the upper left hand side of their browser, to the search engine, it gives a hint of what your blog contains. And they give so much weight on

When I started learning SEO, I found out that one of the common activity that a blogger do that makes SEO easy is link exchanging. It was already my habit exchanging links with my fellow blogger. Most bloggers I know do the same. Link exchanging as soon as their sidebar goes longer and longer. My personal blog got a long list of blogs on the sidebar that I decided to use a dropdown menu to save

If you are using Blogger in your blog, you probably noticed the change on the sign-on screen. It says, "Sign in with your Blogger or Google account." Hhmmm, when I first saw this, I thought, they are doing some major changes on Blogger. And yes, they are! They launched Blogger beta yesterday! A new range of features are waiting for us.

First. What are spams in blogs? These are comments made by spammers to promote their site. These are usually done by a spammer application, spamming hundreds or thousands or millions of blogs in just one crawling.You may ask, what do they get from spamming other's blog? Nobody click on those links, anyway? Yeah, you are right. I don't even click on them either. So, why are they doing this? They

Inside AdSense, the official blog of Google Adsense has a very good article on optimizing AdSense on blogs. Read about it here. I religiously followed their suggestions and saw significant increase on my blog money. But still, I'm not satisfied with the result that I continued experimenting. You'll notice that my ad positioning now is quite different from their suggestion on that article. After

This is a continuation of my previous post.So, you're interested in blognetization? Based on my experience, the key to blognetization is blogtimization. When I say blogtimization, it is Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Adsense Optimization combined.Why is this so? Let me give you an example: My textmates blog. Regular visitors will never click on any ad even though it's Adsense optimized.

Let's learn some few words first. Blognetization and blognetize.What is blognetization? The term is a portmanteau made by contracting the phrase "blog monetization". No, as of now, you cannot find the term anywhere on the web. I just made it myself. Try googling and no one has ever mentioned the term. So, it means that I own this term, hehehe. Because I'm the one who first mentioned it on the web

I found out that unlike ordinary readers, bloggers love to comment. Unless you're a celebrity blogger, most comments on your blog will come from other bloggers. And of course, the most commented post

Before I start posting anything about blogtimization, let me tell you my story on how I got hooked on blogging.I started blogging 2 years ago, on February 2004, using the free service of my-diary.org. I didn't have any idea of the word "blog" then. All I wanted then was to have a way to kill boredom by writing all my experiences online. I searched for "online diary" and from then on, I started

What is Blogtimizer? A person who blogtimize. I got the idea of the term blogtimize here. Well, it did not say there that the term is copyrighted, so, I thought that I might as well use the term. Well, if it is copyrighted, kindly inform me and I will immediately put the credits on you. But I prefer to use the term not only for optimizing ads on your blogs, but for any kind of optimization
