Content, traffic and more Google AdSense profits with article directory

by Nickolay Bokhonok

How to get content using articles grow targeted traffic and get more money with Google AdSense program.Today everybody is talking about good content and how important it is to have one on any site.

Good, relevant content is so loved by search engines. Quality content is a powerful advantage in the Internet.The demand for quality content gave second birth to article. I am sure you already tried to submit or write and submit article(s). Everyone does it now. My experience shows that nice content and good submission work give you a huge publicity online.

With time article pages get bigger and bigger PR and keep sending you extra targeted traffic. Even if Google, Yahoo, MSN change their rules, will this affect good content? Never. Internet is nothing without good, relevant content and good article is a nice content indeed. This is when it comes really easy to understand that running your own article directory is a very smart thing to do in terms of Internet marketing, SEO.

The BENEFITS of having article directory on your site are great:
- every day your site grows with new relevant content - articles;

- each new page is indexed by search engines, these are the pages with super relevant content, on your keywords, this means with every new article in your directory you score more on your keywords with search engines;

- each article page is a page with quality content, the Page Rank of article page grows with time - just think how many pages with nice PR you will have automatically;

- article directory gives you traffic from search engines, very targeted traffic, people who come to read and find, your site gives them super relevant content (tests on real sites prove that people click 10+ more pages in sites with article directory in comparison to 2-3+ clicks before article directory was created on this site);

- you have no problems with content, it grows itself, fresh articles, on the keywords you need;

- you can easily monetize the traffic with Google AdSense, if you have your own products/services in the niche

- direct traffic from article pages to your subscription email or order page

- you have the right to do that, it is your site.

So, having article directory on your sites is much betterthan not having article directory. What can stop you from creating article directory for your site now?

#1. You do not have the skills. - Now everything is easy as programs do all the job. All you need is a professional tool for creating and running your article directory. You just install it on your sites, do setup and the rest is managed by the tool.

#2. Articles can be dangerous. - Yes, they can. If you plan to create directory with 200-1,000 articles in 2 days, search engines may think that you are a spammer. But who says to do so?

Grow your directory gradually. 5-10 new articles a day are better than hundreds in a bulk. Search engines like to see gradual growth of articles in the directory, give them this gradual growth. All you do is picking up or declining articles. Accept about 10 top relevant and interesting articles and the tool generates pages, puts them in the category you choose, creates RSS feed for the pages - everything to get bigger attention from search engines.

Now you see, that the only problem with article directory on the site is the question of balance. When you try to squeeze everything at once, your directory will have the content, but search engines will notice your growth only once. On the other had, if you are not trying to catch up with wind and care for quality of each article, the gradual growth will show much better results.

Still, getting extra 10-20 new quality content pages every day is not a bad thing. Even if Google bosses visit your site every week, they will not say anything: you are not spamming, you are managing your directory, taking care of the quality for your clients and visitors. Article Directory + Smart Efforts = Content, Traffic & Money

Using Google Adsense to Make Money Off Your Website

Using Google Adsense to Make Money Off Your Website

by Darin Kleb

Many sites on the Internet rely totally upon advertising for their revenue. Some sites advertise to help cover server costs and others advertise to make pure profit. Whatever you need as far as revenue for your website, Google’s Adsense program can help.

We’ve all been to Internet sites loaded with pop-ups and defaced with flashing banner ads that hurt our eyes and tell us that we’ve been selected to win a prize only to click the link and be disappointed. Why do Internet sites advertise this way? It’s because people see the advertisement and some (few) want to click on it because of the promise the advertisement has to offer.

These Internet sites hope that a few of their visitors will click the irrelevant ads just so they can make a few cents. The idea of offering website visitors a free prize or a million dollars, may seem like a lucrative way of making money through advertising on a site, but it’s not the most effective way to bring in advertising dollars.

The key to bringing in money through selling advertisement is to remember who your visitors are. If your site is about automobiles, sure a few of your visitors may click that free prize banner at the top of your page, but chances are not enough people are going to click it for you to make any real good money.

Instead, you should focus all your advertisement to be on the subject of automobiles. Perhaps offer advertisement on your website dealing with automobile parts or automobile auctions.

By targeting your advertisement to appeal to your average website visitor, your odds of having that visitor click the advertisement on your site goes up. So just exactly how do you easily find partners to sell advertising to that relates to your website’s content?

Sure, you could wait around for some automobile parts manufacture to email you and tell you that they’re interested in advertising on your automobile website, but there’s no guarantee that will happen. Instead, the answer is Google Adsense.

By pasting Google’s Adsense code on your Internet site, Google automatically sends ads to your visitors that relate to your website’s content. When visitors click that advertisement, Google shares the profit with you.How much can you expect to make using Google’s Adsense program?

There’s no way to tell exactly what you will make. Each Internet site is different, therefore revenue will greatly vary.

Although Google has not officially told us exactly how they share the revenue with us, it’s been estimated that Google shares 50% of the profit generated off your website.

Setting up a Google Adsense account is simple.
You fill in a simple form on their website (adsense.google.com) to create an account for free, paste the code onto your website, and fill out a simple tax form. Finding the right ads to place on your website has never been easier. It’s all automatic once you paste in the code on your website. More and more websites everyday are switching over to Google Adsense for their advertising revenue. More targeted advertising equals more advertisement revenue!

Seecrets On Website Promotion: How You Can Get A #1 Ranking For Your Website Name Within Thirty Days

Seecrets On Website Promotion: How You Can Get A #1 Ranking For Your Website Name Within Thirty Days

by Stan Seecrets

Few businesses are prepared for the hyper speed and competition on the internet. Experts estimate that less than three percent of the tens of thousands of new website registrations each day will eventually succeed.

The sheer volume of daily announcements drowns out all but the savviest webmasters. Yet, most site owners overlook a simple law of physics.

Launching a new website with enough acceleration to rise above this ever increasing daily din needs some force. It is common to see a website with a different name and various product or service offerings with equally unrelated names.

Promoting these diverse brands will naturally need more energy than promoting just one brand.However, if the website’s name is carefully chosen to resemble the site’s main theme, all the promotion energies can focused on just one keyword. Products and services can have this name embedded into the official product names (think Microsoft Office).

Consider the example of “seecrets”, which is a misspelling of a common word. It also reflects the main theme of the website which is in the business of protecting digital data, documents and software.

It is fortuitous coincidence that this name is the same as the site’s resident writer, Stan Seecrets.This author then sent five articles in as many weeks to about a dozen article submission sites. The result was astonishing.

Within a week after the first article, Google ranked this author’s site #1 for this particular keyword. MSN also ranked this same #1 after about 6 weeks.It is perplexing with Yahoo.

The moment this keyword is keyed in, it gives a #1 ranking. When this author repeats the search five minutes later, the ranking disappeared altogether. Maybe, there is a big bug in their software or this search engine is as indecisive as we are.This is an example of getting a #1 ranking by careful selection of the website’s name.

Obviously this author cannot provide a list of step-by-step procedures. Readers who are using the most powerful computer located at the top of their heads can easily figure it out.

Getting a #1 ranking for one keyword is just a confidence-booster and perhaps some bragging rights. The longer journey with other keywords has just begun with this small step.

Please remember that past performance do not guarantee future results, only intelligence, common-sense plus Labor Omnia Vincit (Latin for labor conquers all - Oklahoma state motto) can.Stan Seecrets’ Postulate: “The brand is the website.”(Spoofing Marshall McLuhan “The Medium is the Message”. McLuhan is considered by many, as the prophet of the electronic age)

Profiting from Articles - A Step-by-step Guide

Profiting from Articles - A Step-by-step Guide

by Rudi Ashdown

“Content is King” - that’s a given, there’s no debate. But how do you get content?

Like most projects, breaking into bite-size, easily digestable chunks makes the process realistically achievable. By creating articles, you build and develop that content.

So how do you profit from articles? I, personally, find the best way to approach the ‘process’ of making mony from articles is to work backwards! That is, to determine what your ultimate goal is and then figure out each preceeding step that leads to it.

Example:Ultimate goal
- sell an ebook preceeding step
- subscriber reads recommendation in 5-part mini seriespreceeding step
- article reader visits name squeeze page and signs up for mini seriespreceeding step
- prosepct reads your article on someone elses website/blog/ezinepreceeding step
- publisher picks up your article from directorypreceeding step
- article submitted to directorypreceeding step
- you produce articleAnd try to keep a single focus for each step.

For example, you want people to sign up for the mini series — then the email capture/name squeeze page should only give them that option! Don’t put tons of other links on that webpage which would give the visitor alternatives to signing up for the mini series. Keep it tightly focused — keep the objective in mind.

So the tasks would be (for the above example), in this order:
1] Create the ebook - research and write - or outsource it through elance.com, guru.com, etc. - your product to make money on. If you’re not sure of how to write an ebook, just write it in MSWord or your wp of choice and convert it to a .pdf document with a password protection. Upload that to your web server.

2] Create a single webpage introducing, recommending and soliciting orders for your ebook. Include a PayPal, StormPay or some other shopping cart link to order the book.

3] Write 5 short emails as a mini series (which include a link to your ebook order page) and put them into an autoresponder.

4] Create the single webpage with a compelling copy for why the visitor should sign up for your 5-part mini series and include the webform which links to your autoresponder.

5] Having got those 3 things above in place, now you need to write the article(s) that include a link in the resource box to your name capture webpage.

6] Finally, use ‘article submission software’ to submit your article to the directories (see resource box for link).

Important note: You do NOT need big, flashy, complex websites to profit from articles! A simple compelling page that directs them to an autoresponder.

From the email messages in the a/r, you can send them to a simple order page for your own ebook or you can send them to an affiliate product page.

Bottom line - Keep it simple!

If you’re sending them straight to an affiliate page (I think capturing their email first is better but I include this as an option) from the article resource box, you won’t need to do step 1, 2, 3 or 4 above.

If you’re sending the reader to an affiliate page after capturing their email, miss out step 1 and 2. Step 3 could be a 5-part mini series, or you might just want to send them to an ezine you publish (which recommends your affiliate product) or send them to another great article (or part 2 of the article) stored in an autoresponder.

But you’ll need to give them some reason for them to give you their email address!

Articles are a very powerful method of attracting visitors to a webpage and ultimately to generating ’sales’. Readers of your article have already established a ‘know, like and trust’ relationship with you and are therefore much more predisposed to buying from you. They are the ultimate targetted traffic - and therefore the most profitable visitor!

Get your articles out there and let them silently, effortlessly do their work.
