Many marketers would recommend this idea in order to increase their traffic because its not only cost effective but also helps you in getting excellent traffic and brand awareness. I will give you a idea on this by giving a real life example.

Free Tshirt

I told him to get in touch with a Custom Designing T-Shirts company which sells a Tee for 4$ when you order a minimum of 100 T-Shirts in bulk. Now the total cost would be around 400$ for him. Along with this i told him to start a page on his website where it was written that recommend three of your friends to signup for their service, blog about this and you get a guaranteed T-Shirt for free of cost. Now with a very less promotion this campaign went rocking with more than 100 bloggers signing up for this and since this was in a chain they would even recommend their friends to signup for the service and grab a free Tee.

Each Blogger would blog about the amazing service, the free T-Shirt and also refer 3 more friends, which would overall cost my friend not more than 4$ per review. Isn’t it amazing that the same guys who were charging 25-200$ per review now did the same stuff for 4$ and also promoted these blog post reviews on facebook, stumbleupon & twitter to get referrals. This can give you a idea on how to approach and get things done which would normally cost you hundreds of $ and still would have given a boring result.

Bloggers can also opt for this strategy by implement ideas like Offering Free Domain Names, Free Hosting Accounts, Free Mouse Pads, Free eBooks etc which can create a buzz in the blogosphere and give a special boost in the whole blogging world. Did you implement any of these strategies to grab website visitors?

If you are making money through Google Adsense Program then you also need to make sure that you are optimizing the advertisements which appear on your blog because there is no point in showing the maximum ad units on your blog and making the lowest revenue out of it. Generally its preferred to use 2 Text Ad Units and 1 Link Ad unit on your blog. I will give you a complete list of recommendations for a normal web blog.

Generally the Google Adsense Team would recommend you to use a 300×250 Ad Slot because most of the advertisers submit ads in that standard size and this is the reason you should try to implement atleast one of these ad size. Generally its preferred to use this one on the blog’s top sidebar or else below the article, since this is a ad spot which would get direct visitors.

Increase Google Adsense Income

If your visitors count keeps changing in the weekend then you can try out different stuff like keeping less ads on low traffic days and if you see a spike in the traffic you can go for higher ad slots, also its recommended to go for randomizing ad colors for higher CTR. If you have a colored background of your blog theme, then try to keep the same background for the advertisements so they could look better and you can expect higher CTR.

Some people report that using a 728×90 ad slot works awesome for them when compared to 468×60 but the actual answer is that it depends on your blog design, navigation, width, readers and lot more stuff which is why experimenting the different ad sizes is really important rather than just opting which others recommend.

For Experimenting & Analyzing :
- Record current performance
- Make distinct changes
- Monitor for a set time frame
- Compare performance
*repeat*

Dont forget to implement heatmaps in order to find out the most clicked areas of your blog and implement the advertisements in those areas for higher number of clicks along with section targeting.

I have a Reliance Netconnect Postpaid connection for my daily internet usage and iam very much satisfied with the services they offer, but there is only 1 issue with this service which is the default website which loads whenever i login to the Interface and this hangs my browser many a times. Is there any solution for this problem? I tried blocking the reliancecommunications.co.in website using my browser settings but this gives other problems. Please help me out with a optional setting. Venkat – Delhi

Reliance Broadband+ offers you with a inbuilt software which comes with the USB Modem, allowing you with connecting to the internet easily and once the connection is successful, it would load its official website to make sure that the connection is perfect. Now if you are not happy with this there is a option for you where in you can change the default website to your own website or else favorite search engine like Google. Here is the procedure for the same.

Reliance NetConnect Connection

The moment the connection is established, the software will load their official broadband+ website to show you that the connection is successful and also details on how to pay reliance bills online. Since you are not interested in loading the default there is a option to change this and for this you need to edit one of the files installed by this USB Modem software. Here is the procedure for the same.

First access your Program Files folder and then follow the following steps to reach the final destination.

Program Files > Reliance Netconnect – Broadband+ > plugins > XFramePlugin

In the XFramePlugin Folder you will find a file called as config.xml which you need to open in your default text editing software like Notepad and then using the ‘Find/Search’ option search for reliancecommunications.co.in and then replace the default URL with any website URL you want to change it to. It will be between <homepage>http://www.amitbhawani.com</homepage> Tags. There is no other option in the software itself which can help you in changing this directly.

Per Second Billing

Tata Docomo

These telecom players are not only helping their customers but are also making better revenues with special plans. Other major players like Bharti Airtel, Idea, Aircel, Reliance, Vodafone have all introduced plans which allow the customers to talk on a second billing system. Here is how this stuff works out.

If a Call is charged at 50 Paise Per Minute then for 60 seconds the customer is charged 0.50Rs. At this rate the Phone Operators were getting around 0.75 Paise per second and as per TRAI data normally the average call period is around 42-45 seconds and not a full minute with the realisations at 50 paise per minute, which means that the company was getting 50 paise even if the customer didnt talk for the whole minute, but in the new system the realisations are at 60 paise per minute.

Vodafone Pay Per Second

Currently every telecom network except MTNL has opted for the Per Second Billing. Whats your take on this new billing system? Do you think you as a customer are getting better value through this package or you dont find any change in your monthly because of this billing system change.
