Want to STOP participating? Simply remove the code from your site and send Google a brief note. There's absolutely no risk in experimenting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since you are free to place the ads anywhere you like on your site, it is easy to leverage the income-producing potential of low-converting pages, without compromising the PREselling efficiency of the pages that monetize well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, there are very few reasons why one would NOT want to participate in the AdSense program. In most cases, it's a true WIN-WIN-WIN (Google-visitor-you) situation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who is Google especially suited for? It's EXCELLENT for those who already have, or for those who want to start, high-quality, theme-based content sites, with excellent keyword-focused content pages. That can range from a wonderful little hobby or passion site to a full-blown information site by a major company. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, Google AdSense is likely perfect for you, the SBI! owner, no matter what else you are doing with your site (almost -- wait until you see why one SBI! owner won't be using AdSense, below). It can now be as simple as... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Have a passion? Create loving content about it. Then monetize the traffic you'll build with SBI!." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... or it can be as big and complex as you like! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always remember the core SBI! philosophy... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Content is your foundation... no matter what you want to do.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great content builds free traffic from the engines (when you follow the Action Guide and do it the SBI! way). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great content PREsells. It convinces visitors that you know your stuff, that you generously share it, and so it warms them up for the final step.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monetization. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have warm, willing-to-buy traffic, how do you want to monetize that traffic? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google AdSense provides such a powerful monetization option, that it could almost stand on its own ("almost" because it's always best to diversify, as we'll see below). Other ways to monetize...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;affiliate programs -- now you can afford to pick only the best&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;referrer/finder -- send visitors to a small number of recommended service-providers, on a per-lead, or per-sale basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sell your own services -- most services address a niche. Create content, deliver your e-zine to them, build trust, and they will contact you. Obviously, each new client yields an extremely high ROI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;reps/IBOs/distributors/retailers -- have something to sell? Great! But before you send them to your shopping cart, you need that warm-willing-to-buy traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sell your own e-book or other e-good. Again, these tend to be niche-based, so are perfect monetizers for your traffic. &lt;br /&gt;These are the most common "primary monetization models." The key to using your site most profitably is determining the best mix of monetization models (primary and secondary) for you. It may be selling high-end hard goods only, or it may be a blend of "a little bit of everything." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now, regardless of what your main monetization source may be, you have Google AdSense to blend into the mix, or even to be a Primary Monetization Model. We are now seeing many new SBIers whose primary model is to create a site based on their hobby, passion or knowledge, then AdSense-monetize the traffic that SBI! builds so well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key point, though...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31274582-115612768696905669?l=khoir.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://khoir.blogspot.com/feeds/115612768696905669/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31274582&amp;postID=115612768696905669&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31274582/posts/default/115612768696905669'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31274582/posts/default/115612768696905669'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://khoir.blogspot.com/2006/08/should-you-participate.html' title='Should You Participate?'/><author><name>Khoirun</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12322447282776574056</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13513212588527240150'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31274582.post-115504761199326681</id><published>2006-08-08T22:32:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-08T22:34:11.153+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Search</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=pleascomehere-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=27&amp;l=qs1&amp;f=ifr" width="180" height="150" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31274582-115504761199326681?l=khoir.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://khoir.blogspot.com/feeds/115504761199326681/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31274582&amp;postID=115504761199326681&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31274582/posts/default/115504761199326681'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31274582/posts/default/115504761199326681'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://khoir.blogspot.com/2006/08/search.html' title='Search'/><author><name>Khoirun</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12322447282776574056</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13513212588527240150'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31274582.post-115504748466747305</id><published>2006-08-08T22:29:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-16T23:18:46.200+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Contact</title><content type='html'>Please write your letter... and post to :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nur Khoirun&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jl.

If you don't have a dedicated space in your kitchen for a dishwasher already, you can consider a portable one. If appearance is important to you, there are integrated dishwashers on the market (as there are refrigerators) that can be faced to match your cabinetry.If you have a large family or do a lot of entertaining, you may feel like you are always filling, running, and emptying the dishwasher. Before you purchase a new dishwasher, check out capacity on several different models. Unlike most appliances, where capacity is measured in cubic feet of space, dishwasher capacity is based on how many place settings it can hold.As with other home appliances, dishwashers are available with many new kinds of bells and whistles using the latest technology. dishwashers will vary in how many types of cycles they have. If you don't do much or any prewashing, you'll want to make sure you buy a dishwasher that has a heavy cleaning cycle and many small holes in the jets to accomplish a scrubbing action. In addition, you'll want to make sure that food doesn't come off one dish and then stick to another, or accumulate in the bottom of your dishwasher. Some dishwashers now come with a disposal that grinds up larger food particles so they can be rinsed away with the wash water. If you live alone or have a small family, you may want a rinse and hold feature that gives your dishes a quick rinse only. That way, you can rinse them so food will be easier to wash off later, but still wait until you have a full load to run the cleaning cycle.If you are concerned about energy efficiency, look for dishwashers with a booster heater; most new dishwashers have them. This device will heat the water to make sure it is hot enough to sanitize dishes. Since it will heat water to higher temperatures than your home water heater, you can lower the temperature on your home water heater, saving you money, as well as decreasing the chance of accidental scalding at faucets. Also look for a soil sensor that will adjust your water usage based on how dirty your dishes are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;About The Author: dana bradley &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31274582-115440652269465942?l=khoir.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://khoir.blogspot.com/feeds/115440652269465942/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31274582&amp;postID=115440652269465942&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31274582/posts/default/115440652269465942'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31274582/posts/default/115440652269465942'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://khoir.blogspot.com/2006/08/you-may-think-that-having-dishwasher.html' title=''/><author><name>Khoirun</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12322447282776574056</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13513212588527240150'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31274582.post-115440626094569887</id><published>2006-08-01T12:11:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-01T12:24:20.963+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>By Corey Rudl&lt;br /&gt;No matter how cool your site or how fabulous your product, you're not going to generate enough sales to make your business viable unless you can generate traffic.

These are the people you want coming to your site.&lt;br /&gt;Without further ado, here's our countdown of the top 10 traffic-generating tactics:&lt;br /&gt;Traffic Generation Tactic #10: Use viral marketing strategies to "infect" people with the desire to learn more about your product. These days, viral marketing messages are spreading through the Web like wildfire. Viral marketing is any type of advertising that is self-perpetuating, compelling people to share it with others so that it spreads through a community like a virus—but a good one.&lt;br /&gt;The story of Hotmail.com is a textbook example of viral marketing on the Internet. Hotmail was one of the first free e-mail services on the Web. In its first year and a half in business, Hotmail managed to sign up an incredible 12 million subscribers! How did it accomplish this? Simple: At the end of every e-mail, Hotmail included the following message: "Get your private, free e-mail at http://www.hotmail.com," encouraging everyone who received an e-mail to sign up for the free service themselves.&lt;br /&gt;Large companies use viral marketing messages to perpetuate awareness of their brand, often by creating humorous videos or animation clips that people send to their friends for a laugh. Some smaller companies have also used this strategy successfully. An example is Homestar Runner, a small business that's created a set of cartoon characters and animated shorts that circulate around the Web, encouraging people to visit the main site and buy the company's merchandise.&lt;br /&gt;If you like to play around with video or animation, you might think about adopting this strategy to generate interest in your own product. Just keep in mind that it can be very difficult to determine the exact return on investment for viral marketing campaigns, since it's impossible to keep track of where the ad goes. And while this type of marketing is good for generating interest in your site and products, it doesn't always translate into immediate sales.&lt;br /&gt;To see more examples of viral marketing, check out the following sites (Warning: Part of the popularity of some viral ads is their "cheeky" or risqué nature. Some viral ads contain material that viewers may find offensive.):&lt;br /&gt;ViralBank. Go here to discover "the web's most entertaining e-mails." This site features images, video, games, microsites and text e-mails that have spread virally through the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;ViralMeister. This site features a list of news items concerning the latest viral ad campaigns as well as a sampling of popular viral ads circulating on the Web. Visitors are invited to submit "funny or cool videos, images, jokes or anecdotes" to be featured on the site.&lt;br /&gt;Lycos Viral Chart. This site offers a top 10 list of "cheeky" viral e-mails, as well as viral campaigns listed under other headings, such as "New Releases" and "Celebrities." Visitors are invited to submit viral ads for review and also vote on the best campaigns.&lt;br /&gt;Traffic Generation Tactic #9: Employ online business networking communities to hook up with other entrepreneurs for link swaps and joint marketing ventures. Business networking communities are springing up all over the Web. They're similar to dating or social networking sites but are used by entrepreneurs to find other businesspeople with whom they can establish mutually beneficial business relationships.&lt;br /&gt;Sites like these can offer great opportunities for entrepreneurs to establish joint marketing ventures with like-minded businesses, or simply to find link-swap partners who can help drive more traffic to their sites. (We'll be looking at link swapping in greater detail later on, in case you're not familiar with this effective traffic generation tactic).&lt;br /&gt;Business networking communities can also help generate traffic by allowing their members to create personal profile pages with links to their main business sites. These links can improve a site's ranking with the major search engines.&lt;br /&gt;If you decide to join a networking community, be sure to partner with people whose businesses are complementary to your own. Their sites have to attract visitors who are likely to become your customers as well. For example, it probably won't do you any good to have your all-vegetarian tofu burgers featured on a cattle rancher's industry association site.&lt;br /&gt;Here are some business networking communities you may want to check out:&lt;br /&gt;Ryze LinkedIn AlwaysOn Spoke&lt;br /&gt;Traffic Generation Tactic #8: Become a recognized name in your niche market by participating in newsgroups, discussion forums or blogging networks. A great way to establish an online identity and develop relationships with your potential customer base is by taking part in newsgroups and discussion forums or by starting a blog related to your niche market. These tools can help you communicate directly with your target market and discover what their wants and needs are.&lt;br /&gt;For example, if you sell mountain biking shoes, spend some time hanging out in mountain biking forums—that's where your target market's going to be. Or start your own blog in which you describe your latest mountain biking adventures, complete with attention-grabbing photos. You could even combine the two tactics and generate interest in your blog by mentioning it in forums and newsgroups.&lt;br /&gt;However, most newsgroups, blog networks and discussion forums do not allow people to blatantly advertise in them. If you want to generate traffic through these sites, the best way to do it is to offer friendly, useful advice to people who express a need for something, and then include a subtle link to your site at the end of all your messages. If people like what you say, they may decide to visit your site and check out your products or services.&lt;br /&gt;Traffic Generation Tactic #7: Get your visitors to tell their friends about you. A good way to drive visitors to your site is to ask your existing customer base to do it for you. There are lots of sites that offer free "tell a friend" buttons you can place directly on your site in order to encourage visitors to send e-mails to their friends telling them about your site.&lt;br /&gt;If your site offers a free opt-in newsletter, contest, quiz or "tip of the day"—in other words, any information that people will want to share because it's fun, valuable or exciting—include an "E-mail this" button in that feature as well. There's nothing more powerful than a personal recommendation from a friend or colleague.&lt;br /&gt;Here are just a few sites that offer free "tell a friend" tools:&lt;br /&gt;1-Hit.com HitBox RefDev.com&lt;br /&gt;Traffic Generation Tactic #6: Encourage repeat visits with interactive traffic generators. One of the best ways to get traffic to your site is to offer valuable content that's updated on a regular basis so that your visitors are prompted to pay frequent return visits to see what new information you have available. Provide content that's relevant to your industry, such as articles, product reviews or "how-to" advice columns—anything you think your visitors will find useful or entertaining.&lt;br /&gt;As you develop your collection of written content, consider placing it in a searchable archive so your visitors can access past articles and product reviews. This will encourage people to think of your site not only as a place where they can buy things but also as a valuable source of information.&lt;br /&gt;You should also consider offering other free resources to attract your target audience. Remember, the most powerful word in a marketer's arsenal is "free." The more useful tools and resources you offer your visitors, the more they'll appreciate your site.&lt;br /&gt;Offer fun or helpful interactive tools that relate to the purpose of your site. For example:&lt;br /&gt;If you sell recipe books or kitchenware, include a measurement converter that easily allows people to convert imperial measurements to metric and vice versa. If you sell clothing, include a size converter that shows how the clothing sizes compare to measurement systems used in different countries. (For example, a woman's size 10 in the U.S. is equal to a size 12 in the UK and a size 40 elsewhere in Europe.) If you sell scuba gear or sailing goods, link to current tide and weather information. If you sell books on philosophy or self-improvement, include IQ tests or quizzes that determine personality types. If you sell education products, include interactive math or grammar games and other fun learning tools.&lt;br /&gt;This strategy tends to be better for getting repeat traffic than for attracting new visitors, but if you include a "tell a friend" button with your interactive traffic generator, you may prompt visitors to share the news about your site with others—and get them to drive new traffic to your site for you!&lt;br /&gt;Traffic Generations Tactic #5: Increase your site's exposure by swapping links with other sites. If you want your site to be seen by as many potential customers as possible, try to get it mentioned on other sites they're likely to visit. Look for sites that are related to yours but don't compete with it directly.&lt;br /&gt;For example, if you sell ski goggles, try to get your product mentioned on alpine tourism sites, sites that sell skis, boots and poles, and sites that sell winter clothing—but not on other sites that sell ski goggles. Or if you own a souvenir shop, see if you can get your site listed on local hotel and restaurant sites, as well as other travel and hospitality sites tourists are likely to visit, but not on other sites that sell souvenirs.&lt;br /&gt;A great way to get your site mentioned on other sites is to contact those sites directly and offer to "link swap" with them. (Be sure to look for sites that get a lot of traffic.) Tell them you'll put a link to their site on your site if they'll do the same for you. Not only will this generate a lot of increased exposure for your site, it can also boost your ranking with the search engines.&lt;br /&gt;Traffic Generation Tactic #4: Get the message out about your site by giving away free content. One of the best ways to make sure your site gets mentioned on other sites is to offer them valuable free content.&lt;br /&gt;Many online business owners are happy to get quality information to put on their site or in their opt-in newsletters, so offer them some of the regularly updated content you've posted on your own site (as suggested in Traffic Generation Tactic #6. By providing other sites with free articles, product reviews or advice columns, you'll be doing them a favor—as well as increasing the exposure of your own site.&lt;br /&gt;Try to get your content published on popular websites or in newsletters that have huge mailing lists. So before you offer your content to any site, do a little research to discover how much traffic it gets or how many people subscribe to the site's opt-in newsletter. And try to determine which sites are the "hot spots" in your niche market—that's where you want your articles to be published.&lt;br /&gt;One way to do this is to find out what their Google page ranking is. If you have a Google toolbar installed on your browser, you'll see the page ranking of every page you come across. This will give you a general idea as to what Google thinks about them and how many links to other sites they've established. Another way to determine a site's traffic ranking is to use Alexa.com. This will give you some general traffic information about a site and allow you to see how their competitors might compare to them. You can also use Google to determine how many sites link to them by typing the URL into the Google search bar.&lt;br /&gt;It's important to remember that this tactic will only work if you include your contact information and a link to your site at the end of every article. That'll make it easy for people to visit your site and learn more about the products or services you sell, so make sure every site or e-zine that publishes your content includes this contact info and link.&lt;br /&gt;Traffic Generation Tactic #3: Be one of the first sites people see listed when they search for your keywords in the free search engines. The free search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, and MSN are still one of the most effective ways to get the word out about your site. There are lots of different techniques you can use to ensure you get a good ranking with the free search engines. For example, you can...&lt;br /&gt;Submit your site to the free search engines and online directories. Optimize your web site so that it's easily indexed by search engine spiders. Pay close attention to your keyword inclusion and placement. Create content-rich "information pages" to direct traffic to your site.&lt;br /&gt;And these are just a few tactics that will help you improve your search engine ranking. You can do all this work yourself, or you can use software that will do the job for you. (To read more about search engine optimization strategies, see "The Dos and Don'ts of Search Engine Optimization.")&lt;br /&gt;Traffic Generation Tactic #2: Use e-mail promotions to present your visitors with offers they can't refuse. Yes, it's true: E-mail promotions are one of the top two ways to attract qualified traffic to your site. If you have a list of customer or subscriber e-mail addresses, then you're ready to get started.&lt;br /&gt;People who've visited your site and signed up for your newsletter (or a contest or survey) are far more likely to buy from you than someone who's never heard of your site before. It's essential that you stay in touch with these people!&lt;br /&gt;Encourage visitors to frequently return to your site by e-mailing them attractive promotional offers, such as e-coupons or discounts on new products you're offering, notification of a sale or a contest you're running, or even free services or products you've decided to give away to a limited number of people.&lt;br /&gt;You can manage your mailing list and automate your e-mail promotions using existing software programs. To learn more about how to build a substantial list of opt-in e-mail addresses, read "Attracting Newsletter Subscribers."&lt;br /&gt;And now, the time has come for...&lt;br /&gt;Traffic Generation Tactic #1: Build an army of affiliates to drive traffic to your site for you. Without a doubt, an affiliate program is the probably the best way to increase your site's exposure. You can get your affiliates to drive qualified traffic to your site using all the techniques we've mentioned so far, as well as other effective advertising techniques that require an initial investment.&lt;br /&gt;You can literally get your affiliates to do all your marketing for you. In fact, one of my most successful clients doesn't spend any time optimizing his site for the free search engines—he lets his affiliates do it for him. Many of them go to great lengths to make sure their sites are highly ranked, and because they all link to his site, they boost his search engine ranking as well.&lt;br /&gt;The best thing about affiliate programs is that you don't pay your affiliates a dime for all the work they do unless they help you make a sale. It really is a win-win proposition: The more sales your affiliates help you make, the more money they earn as well.&lt;br /&gt;Final Thoughts&lt;br /&gt;In order to maximize your site's exposure, it's best to use a combination of the tactics listed above. For example, if you're sending out an e-mail promotion, you may want to include a "tell a friend" option in the e-mail so the people on your mailing list will send the promotion to others. If you have an affiliate program, you should ask your affiliates to post your articles and product reviews on their sites in order to help you build a reputation for yourself as an industry expert.&lt;br /&gt;Remember: When it comes to online marketing, there are three words you need to keep in mind: location, location, location. Your site has to be mentioned often in places where your niche market hangs out if you want your site to be seen by as many potential customers as possible.&lt;br /&gt;If you think you could be doing more to boost your site's traffic numbers (and really, who couldn't?), start putting these top 10 traffic generation tactics to work for you today—then sit back and enjoy all that free traffic coming your way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Corey Rudl, author of Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet and founder of www.marketingtips.com, is widely recognized as an Internet marketing expert because what he teaches are not theoretical approaches to online marketing but real examples of what works.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31274582-115440626094569887?l=khoir.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://khoir.blogspot.com/feeds/115440626094569887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31274582&amp;postID=115440626094569887&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31274582/posts/default/115440626094569887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31274582/posts/default/115440626094569887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://khoir.blogspot.com/2006/08/by-corey-rudl-no-matter-how-cool-your.html' title=''/><author><name>Khoirun</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12322447282776574056</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13513212588527240150'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31274582.post-115318348907427082</id><published>2006-07-18T08:43:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T08:44:49.076+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;$10 Million Ads On Yahoo For Free&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(rt) In a brilliant PR move, Yahoo!

Get Those Inbound Links&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since Google ranks your pages according to the number of links pointing at your page, it stands to reason that you should try to get as many links pointing at your pages as possible. This is so obvious that I'm only mentioning it for completeness sake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Your Title Tag&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google seems to give weight to the title of your page. By title, I mean the text that is sandwiched between the HTML &lt;title&gt; tags in the &lt;head&gt; section of your web page. If you use a Web editor that automatically inserts a title like "New Page", remember to change it to some meaningful text with your keywords inside to reap the benefit of this feature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Content-Laden Pages (Keyword Density)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has often been observed that Google considers keyword density a large factor in ranking pages in search engine results, more so than many other search engines. You can read more about keyword density and how you can improve it on your pages from my other article, &lt;a target="_top" href="http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/keyworddensity.shtml"&gt;Improving Your Keyword Density for Search Engine Positioning&lt;/a&gt;, at &lt;a target="_top" href="http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/keyworddensity.shtml"&gt;http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/keyworddensity.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Keyword-laden Links?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a paper published by one of Google's founders, if the links pointing to your page has the relevant keyword text in them, it will cause your page to be ranked higher in search engine results. For example, a link with the text "Cheap Shoe Store" pointing at your site will cause your site to be listed earlier if a visitor searches for "cheap shoe store" than if the link simply said "click here". You can find a copy of the paper online at &lt;a href="http://www7.scu.edu.au/programme/fullpapers/1921/com1921.htm"&gt;http://www7.scu.edu.au/programme/fullpapers/1921/com1921.htm&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other Google Tips&lt;br /&gt;1. Will Disabling Caching of Your Page Affect Your Page Rank?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Some time ago, it was claimed that Google would penalise pages that forbade it from caching their pages. As you know, Google caches the pages it indexes unless otherwise instructed. To avoid problems with people who feel that this is a copyright infringement (and other reasons), they allow sites to instruct the Google spider not to cache those pages using various means. One such method is outlined in my &lt;a target="_top" href="http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/metatags.shtml"&gt;article on using META tags to manage the search engine spiders and listings&lt;/a&gt;, at &lt;a target="_top" href="http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/metatags.shtml"&gt;http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/metatags.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google has apparently publicly denied that disabling caching would affect the page's ranking in any way. I tend to believe their claim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Dynamic Pages and Google&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike some other search engines, Google is able to index dynamically generated pages, so long as a link exist to those pages somewhere. For example, a page like "http://yoursite.com/showstuff.php?page=19" can be indexed by Google.&lt;br /&gt;So if you have a dynamically generated page that you think should be indexed, make sure you put a link to it somewhere on your site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. ALT tags on Images&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have been placing images on your website without bothering to place ALT tags, now is a good time to add ALT tags. Google apparently indexes the text given in the ALT tags of images.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. META Keywords Tag is Ignored&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google ignores the META keywords tag, so, optimising of this tag is not going to help you any with Google.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Google Toolbar&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Google Toolbar can be obtained free of charge for Firefox and Internet Explorer. It gives you an idea of how important Google thinks your site is (in general) by showing the Page Rank of any page that you visit.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31274582-115318210719723566?l=khoir.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://khoir.blogspot.com/feeds/115318210719723566/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31274582&amp;postID=115318210719723566&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31274582/posts/default/115318210719723566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31274582/posts/default/115318210719723566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://khoir.blogspot.com/2006/07/improving-your-page-rank-on-google.html' title=''/><author><name>Khoirun</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12322447282776574056</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13513212588527240150'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
