I haven’t had time to post on this site in a while, or really even maintain things here. A lot of my articles are being written elsewhere for another blog, and I have so many projects on the table it doesn’t leave me much time for divspace, my personal site.
The following is from a post from Webmaster World. I think it’s a great article and a good read for anyone starting up a website.
I know this system works 100% of the time with Google to attain rankings across a wide range of keywords. This is what I do with clients to build a successful site and it has worked every time. The level of success will depend largely on the subject matter, its potential audience, and its level of competition on the net.
I know, I know, "Oh, god, not another one!" is probably what you’re thinking. I can’t blame you though, there are literally hundreds of thousands of websites and articles about SEO and SEM out there, why would this one be any different?
To be honest, I can’t really answer that question, but I can give some incite into what I personally have experienced when it comes to developing websites. SEO is something any developer should be thinking about before they even make a website, your client shouldn’t even have to ask you to do this. Eventually, you’ll fall into a habit of thinking in terms of SEO, and it won’t be such a daunting task.
SEO Agency :Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is critical for top search engine rankings. Provide good content for your users and use ethical SEO strategies.
Who else wants to increase they AdSense CTR numbers? Everyone should be raising their hand. I’m going to tell you some of the secrets I have learned about AdSense throughout the years, and more specifically what you can do to increase your CTR percentage.
If you follow these steps, you should have no problem increasing your CTR by at least two percent, and you could possibly see a 100 to 1,000% or more increase if you follow these steps well.
By now everyone has seen the badges, which are sometimes called seals, all over the web. There’s a really simple way to do this using Macromedia Adobe Fireworks.
For this tutorial, we’re going to replicate the badge seen on Crucial Web Hosting. We’re going to duplicate the curved text by using the Text On A Path feature, and the actual badge is nothing more than a star with a lot of points, or rays, since a typical star has about three to five points.
Apache’s mod_rewrite module is a very powerful tool. And there’s some neat tricks you can do with it. This trick involves forcing visitors and search engine robots to either the WWW version of your website, www.yourdomain.com, or the non-WWW version of your website, yourdomain.com.
This is probably not something you want to change up after your site has been up for a while, but something you should think about in the development stages of your website. Changing this after you’ve already been indexed can have some unwanted efffects, like loss of PageRank or a complete removal and then reindex of your website by the search engine bots.
Here is a method that is helping AdSense publishers increase their click-thru rate (CTR), and ultimately generating more revenue. If you have not seen this technique yet, then you can view a live example on one of my websites that I use for testing Adsense theories.
I am not allowed to release my exact CTR numbers, but after adding these icons next to my Large Rectangle (336×280) ads, I saw an increase in my CTR percentage by 4-6 perecent. The reason for the large variation in the percentages is that, like with most sites, certain days of the week result in more or less traffic. Either way, even an increase of 2% would be something to talk about.
