AdSense for Mobile


I was doing my daily adsense checking.. as I thought, I'm a noob, and I only got 2 click.. man.. it's frustrating..

But I saw something new that I never saw before. A new program by adsense: AdSense for Mobile..

What the hell is AdSense for Mobile?!?

I don't know.. It's my first time seeing this.

When I click the link, we can see the details about this program:

Enhance your mobile website - and your profits - with targeted ads from Google.

-Gain exposure to the large and growing number of mobile advertisers.
-Readers will find our precisely targeted ads relevant and useful.
-Finally unlock the full revenue potential of your mobile site by displaying Google ads.



That was what google said.. I'm not so sure about what it said, but I think it means we can put some ads on the page that could be accessed by mobile phone.

But how do we have a mobile website??

I have no idea.. but this is what google said:

We should rewrite our page with languages that mobile phone can read such as XHTML, WML, and CHTML. And of course wh sould rearrange the layout, so that it can be displayed properly on the mobile phone

plus, we need to develop the site with PHP or ASP. We should change the .htm files into .php files. Then we should copy paste the PHP snippet, so that the ads will appear.


Understand?

You know I don't.

But if you understand already, you should be happy then^^.
If you don't understand, learn those languages then^^

Frustrating Moment


Sorry guys, this time I'm not gonna give you tips, tricks, and all other stuff.

To be honest with you, I'm quite desperate right now. Why? I have not enough backlinks. I still have no Page Rank. Zero. none.

I know, I know.. Im not being patient right now, and that's not good.

On the other day, I posted something that might get me back link, it's the link bait.

But the thing is, right now, I haven't got much traffic, and I'm also lack of article too.

The probability that people will link back to me is somewhat low.

But if you think I'm gonna give up. Hell no! I'm not a quitter. I'm not a loser.


So, my target right now is, to get backlinks as many as possible, and get my first page rank.

I was just submitting my article to ezine, about the click exchange. So I hope it's gonna work.

And I'm not about to look for another methods to get backlinks.

Link Exchange? hmm... actually, it's a good idea. But without page rank? I don't know. I think I should first learn about the formula of the page rank, to know if it's gonna work.


Hey, what are you expecting? I'm a noob.

Link Bait


I said that the number of back link is very important for SEO (and of course link will give you traffic). But you’re just able to put some link just on some websites (Your other sites, or by doing link exchange, etc).

So how can we make people link to our site? The technique is called “link bait”.

How could we do this link bait? By creating quality content of course. Yes, but quality content like what?

Generally there are 5 types of article/content that could make people link to your site, we called them as “hooks”:

-Informational Hooks. This kind of hooks provides useful information, tips, tricks, etc. This site could be categorized as informational hooks (just if my article could be useful for you and you will link to me (T_T) )

-News Hooks. This kind of hooks provides the most fresh and actual information or hot news. For example, someone writes about celebrity’s gossip or disaster that kills 1000 people. You will most likely get many visitors from this hook. But this kind of hooks doesn’t last long, if the news isn’t hot anymore

-Humor Hooks. This hook tells a joke or funny picture, cartoon, or comic.

-Evil Hooks. This hook tells something that controversial. You tell something that most people will not agree with you and you provide a strong argument for it. For example, you write an article with a title “8 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Buy iPod”. People will maybe dislike you, but you got traffic and back link^^.

-Tool Hooks. You create a tool, or a program, that could be useful for people. The thing is, it’s easier to create an article than create a tool/program. But no pain no gain, right?

If your site is community based website, or tool website, I think it wouldn’t be so hard until people link to your site (just when they could find your site and think that your site is useful)

Tool based websites might have no weakness for adsense, but community based websites do have. I’ll tell you next time^^

Introduction to SEO (Search Engine Optimization)


I assume you have already registered your site on search engine (Google, Yahoo!, and MSN).

I believe your site is already detected. But the problem is, most likely if you search something related to your site, your site doesn’t show up on the first page.

For example, if I search on Google for keywords “adsense click exchange”, this site shows up on 12th page! Damn, who the hell will look to the 12th page?!



In my case, I have failed for the keywords “adsense click exchange” (but maybe someday it will show up on the 1st or 2nd page)

So how can I improve this? The technique to improve this is called SEO, Search Engine Optimization.

So what determine your site’s position in Google? That’s actually a secret and the algorithm is way too complex (and it change once in a time too)

But always remember, Google looks for quality page.

So how does Google know which site is a high quality site and which one is a low quality site?

Like I said before, it’s too complex (and a secret too), but generally there are important factors:

-Traffic (The number of visitor)
-and Back Link (The number of link on another sites referring to your site)

Most people increase the number of their back link by doing link exchange or create link bait content.


But SEO is not just limited in that.

SEO should calculate also Sitemap, the address, the content, the meta tag, etc.

I think that’s enough for the introduction. (^_^)v
