Why Fast Hosting for AdSense Sites

Tagged Under : , , ,

Lets talk about most concerning issue with Google AdSense. It may not seem to be obvious at the first glance why you want a fast and reliable hosting for AdSense sites — and virtually any of your content site that you create specifically to earn money from contextual advertising or other advertising programs.

First, let us make it clear.

You can host your site on free hosting service. Nothing is going to stop you. During your application, it may increase your chance to be accepted into the program if you have a professional site with your own domain.

Why Fast Hosting for AdSense SitesBut, really, after being accepted, you can take any low quality hosting service and use it for any of your new site.

The thing, I recommend that you always go for the fastest and greatest hosting you can afford for several reasons. It better has to be reliable too. Why?

1. It increases your professionalism

Don’t expect everyone run on broadband. Many people are still on dialup, although broadband penetration is certainly going up. So you optimize your page to load in a breeze.

The sad thing is, with slow hosting which hiccups during peak time, you have just ruined your hard work. Click! Your visitor has just clicked anywhere else, instead of your AdSense ads.

2. It caters to low attention span problem

People have shorter attention span online. It develops over time as there are more pages to choose and read everyday. If your whole page, including Google AdSense ad blocks don’t load in a few short seconds, they are not going to wait.

The back button is just one click away…

Remember that AdSense ads are loaded based on JavaScript code. Although it is a safe bet that Google is usually fast, still you need to load the page fast enough before user browser can start querying for the ads.

3. It increases your income.

Yes, it really does. For every visitor that you miss because of your sluggish hosting, for every minute or even second it goes down, you have just lost your AdSense dollar.

This is not something you can afford, especially given the fact that there are inexpensive hosting packages that actually deliver values.
Best Practices for Hosting

This doesn’t mean that you must go for the most expensive hosting package.

Nowadays, you can get a good hosting package for as low as $10 per month. You just have to shop around, do your own due diligence before getting your credit card out.

Have third opinions. Don’t hesitate to ask.

Some hosting allow multiple domains per account.

So shop around.

10 Tricks to Do to Improve Your Google Page Ranking

Tagged Under : , ,

As some readers mail me and ask that how to improve page rank of their sites. Its easy as we knows content is the king. Search engines love fresh and quality content, since that’s what the users want – more new things to read every day and every hour. When your site changes often – search engine crawlers come back more often as well. Of course by generating new content you raise the chance that more of your pages will be found.

10 Tricks to Do to Improve Your Google Page RankingOnce you have the content generated, here is what you can do to have your site found more often by new visitors:

1. Use Google Site maps to see how Google sees your site, when it was last updated, whether you have any problems on your site, etc. I’ve written an article on this topic: How to Improve Site’s Ranking with Google Sitemaps. You also want to provide a sitemap for your visitors.

2. Get involved in communities relevant to the content of your site. Visit their forums and mailing lists, and help other people by answering their questions, posting links to your site if they contain information relevant to your replies. Usually you are allowed to have a signature, where you can link to your site. However be aware that more and more sites implement a new link attribute rel=”nofollow”, which tells Google (MSN, Yahoo and other sites) to not count those links to your site’s ranking credit. This is to avoid comment spam. You can find the details here: Official Google Blog: Preventing comment spam.

3. The head section of the document should include meta entries for keywords and description. Though it’s been said that the keywords meta entry has little or no weight with Google, but is still useful with other search engines. Also make sure that the title of the document includes the most important keywords and phrases, as Google gives a heavy weight to those. The keywords need to be included in the H1 and H2 header entries, and also once in bold, once in italic and if possible in the URL.

4. Spell check your content. Google doesn’t like when misspelled words are used, as it tries to auto-correct search words. Some sites use misspelled words to get more traffic to their site. e.g., “hign paying keywords” instead of “high paying keywords”

5. It’s been said that sites containing valid XHTML are favored by the search engines. But it should at least use valid HTML. One other thing to make sure is that your site is readable by non-graphical browsers, such as Links and Lynx. Blind users use those to browse the Internet and search engines favor sites that are useful to more people. In fact search engines see your site as text, so things like java script, DHTML and Flash may make it hard for the search engine to crawl your site.

6. Publish articles on other sites relevant to your expertise. Make sure that those articles link back to your site. I’m somewhat weary about submitting my articles to other sites, since then I end up with a duplication problem and a chance that a search engine would penalize duplicated content sites. Hopefully it somehow knows where the content has appeared in first place. But I don’t want to take chances. So may be submitting unique articles which don’t appear on my site is a much safer strategy.

7. Sometimes your site competes with many other sites for the same keywords. Rather than optimizing all of your site for the same keywords, try to find less competitive keywords and optimize some of your pages for those keywords. There are both commercial and free programs to help you do that.

8. Learn from your competitors. Go to Google and search for the competing keywords, go to the first few sites with high page rank and analyse those sites, see what they have done differently than your site. Granted the site might be just very popular and linked from many other sites, but more often than not reading through the source code of the site can tip you off how to do better. You can find out which sites link to that site by searching Google for link:yoursite.com and you may want to try to get your site listed on those sites.

9. Since it’s not enough to have a high ranking for your front page (Google gives different page ranks to different pages), once your site is established you should try to get other sites to link to other sections of your site as well. For example if you have a big site and you can identify segments which are different from each, try to raise a page rank for the sub-directories corresponding to those sections. Have each page linking to several other pages on your site (cross linking). That should be especially helpful for balancing the page ranking across different pages of your site, and of course it should help your visitors to find related content on your site.

10. Try to include a few outbound links to high quality sites in every document. That indicates a quality connection between your document and others sites that Google already considers to be quality sites. When linking to those sites, try to include the important keywords in those links. Analyze your log files and see who refers to you the most. Try to find more similar sites. The referral information also reveals the keywords used to find your site. Often you find new keywords that you haven’t thought of when targeting your site. By using those newly discovered keywords you can create more content that targets the unexpected traffic even better.
