Top 5 Ways To Create Conversions with Hangouts On Air

2012-10-17T20:49:00.001-07:00

We have all heard plenty of reasons to use Google+ Hangouts On Air from the “It’s the new podcast…” or “It’s the replacement for GoTo Webinar…” We have also seen old school top Internet marketers like Ed Dale, Jack Humphrey and Alex Mandossian using Hangouts On Air in their marketing in the last few months. I have had the pleasure of having Ileane Smith as my guest many times now and even Arnold Schwarzenegger broadcast his book launch from Google headquarters via a Hanout On Air the second week of October.
But let’s be honest here, most Hangouts On Air produce a 45 to 60 minute video. Most people just are not going to take the time to watch all that. But what I did find was that the ones that do watch an hour long teaching video are the people who buy my products.
So it came clear to me fast that if I was going to push replays of a weekly or bi-weekly show that would be viewed mostly by people who were buying info products and joining membership sites, that it would be best to host them on pages that convert into sales of such.
You have probably heard the term “landing pages.” Well we like to call them “action pages” around here. Sending your viewers to Google+ and YouTube to watch your Hangouts is a big mistake as you will soon see below. Using the 5 strategies here I was able to convert 37% of my small list into buyers of an info product.
I did not invent this, it is nothing new really, I just tweaked it A LOT. Here is how I took the current webinar model we have been using for almost a decade now and spun it Google+ style and you can too, no matter what niche you are in.

#5 Archive Hangouts On Air To A Members Site

Webinars were the conversion king in years past for Internet marketers and are still are your #1 tool. But so many marketers have used the “No replay” hook and then gone back on their word, that no one believes you now if you say the same.
So what I have been testing is allowing a short replay period and then taking the video off line by making it private in YouTube and downloading the MP4 for hosting elsewhere securely.

Downloading the Mp4 on YouTube in the video manager

Or you can change the YouTube settings to “Only with the link” and embed it in say in a Wishlist based members area. Not real secure, but it works in a pinch.
This will improve your ROI 3 fold:

Your broadcast or weekly show just became much more valuable due to limited availability.
You save time by creating new content, using the replay to drive traffic and at the same time you are creating content you can charge for. “Win Win” is the saying that comes to mind here.
You now start building up an archive of high end content you can charge a higher entry price for later on. Think “Video Vault…”

#4 Hangouts On Air Are The Perfect Interview Medium

Let’s take a look at how HOAs can be used in so many ways for not only you to be interviewed, but also to lighten your load as a content creator, by interviewing others.
Announce that you are available for Interviews Via HOAs
Let people know you are available for HOA interviews, Tweet it, Facebook it and post it to Google+. Be sure to add a paragraph to your about / contact pages. I would even go so far as to add a side bar headline and a few bullets saying you are available on your blog and link to a contact form.
Build up a “Go To” list of guest panelists
Sometimes you just can’t carry everything on your own back when it comes to doing a weekly podcast or HOA, as we call Hangouts On Air. So building up a list of very savvy panelists in a Google+ Circle is a must. Every time I go on air I always invite my “Today’s Panelists” Circle and they are kind enough to respond.
The panelists Circle will serve you well, asking great on topic questions, giving live feedback and even at times helping you thru periods of technical difficulties. Having skilled panelists is key. Ileane has become a very valuable asset on my shows since she is very adept and translating my technical points into things you all can understand.
Host Virtual Speakers At Your Meetups Via Hangouts and HOAs
This is a really new idea, pay attention to this one. If you have never been to a Meetup, check that site out. It is a local networking gold mine, just so you know.
After we journeyed to Canada to speak at a number of live Meetups in August of this year, we found many more Meetup hosts were interested in hosting my presentations at a later date. We were able to engage many more Meetups by appearing at virtual events, via Hangout based presentations, to live networking groups over 2000 miles away from our new Denver home in September.
True this does require a decent Internet connection at the Meetup venue and a TV or projection screen at the live event, but it so far has met with great success. Imagine being able to host presentations from top authors and authorities at your own Meetup and host the live Q & A. Slide shows are great, but seeing the person presenting live is what Meetup audiences want.
Not only does this personal connection change the entire feel, but there is another Meetup metric that these audiences crave. It all changes when the live questions begin, after your presentation ends. The audience is encouraged to step up to the web cam and get their questions answered by the live guest presenter. Being able to converse face to face with top experts and virtually famous people is a very valuable experience that you can offer at your local Meetups.
This worked for us and I will warn you it is a bit daring, Internet connections can be sketchy and Ripley’s law is definitely in effect. But the return both for the Meetup host the speaker is huge in our first testing. Give this a try and decide for yourself.
Now while you are speaking as a guest of panelist you have to get the most out of your time, Yes? Here is how to use the lower third app 1000% more effectively.

#3 Use Hangout Lower Third To Drive Traffic To An Opt In Page

1000% – Big claim huh? Well that comes to 10 times better than anyone else doing is because they are making one huge mistake. You guessed it, you should be linking to an “action page.”
You will see many, most in fact, using the lower third app to display their logo, name and a website URL during a Hangout. Do not make that mistake. The destination URL should be a squeeze page and a well crafted one. Building your double opt in list is key here. While I built my list from social engagement and followings, it was those same email list subscribers that bought 95% of my product this spring.
The “Lower Third” app does that job well, giving you a newscaster style banner on your video thumbnail and on your “blueboxed” or full screen Hangout display. The app can be added from the Hangout application window, by clicking “Apps” on the left side of the screen, then “Add app” if you have not tried this already.
But to make this effective, you must capture someone’s visit to said page. This is what makes a squeeze page so effective. It squeezes the email from the visitor. Remember I said that my email list is responsible for 95% of my conversions during my launch this spring? Since I have identified that demographic as my hottest conversion source, I do everything I can to increase that demographic.
You may convert highly via Twitter, or Facebook or even Google+. In that case a landing page for the Lower Third app would contain social following buttons instead. But unless you measure that conversion point thru say Google Analytics, then how can you know what your best converting traffic source is? Identify that source, then craft the correct squeeze page for that traffic.

Here is a great example of a true squeeze page from Jeff Walker of Product Launch Formula

This is a great example above. If you have never considered a squeeze page, here what makes them great.

The entire page is above the fold, there is no need to scroll down the page
The page only offers one option, to opt in
The video is embedded and uses a bright clear headshot for trust and connection

On a side note, while I am not a lawyer and don’t play one on TV or give out legal advice, it is important to link to your privacy policy, terms of service and earnings disclaimer from any squeeze page and saleletters to meet current FTC policies. Google is your friend here and you can find lots of examples and advice thru search on this subject.
Bottom line here: Action pages increase conversion highly over raw site domain based URLs, offering just too many options. Let’s move on and see the two locations that brought in that $12,000 in profits for me this spring, shall we?

#2 Stream Your HOA To A Squeeze Page

Remember Jeff’s squeeze page above? Well the pretty picture of him is a video. Seems like a squeeze page would be the perfect place off Google+ and YouTube to drive your best traffic, does it not?
The number one way to get your webinar / HOA viewed and create both authority and conversions from them as an Internet marketer with an email list, or as a social marketer, is to share and email links to watch it live. Since Google HOAs are first streamed on your Google+ feed and secondly on YouTube, both are places that I do not want to send my email list.
The biggest mistake anyone with a list can make is it to email into a social network. First off, your chance of holding their interest is low, with lots of bright shiny objects and update alerts coming in from every angle.
Second, Google+ is an open social network and very different than Facebook. You never ever want to expose your email list to places where others can follow and compete with you for their attention.
Do not expose these hard won subcribers, many of them your best people because they are buyers or even repeat buyers to your competition. If your competition has any savvy marketing skills, they will be commenting and looking to brand themselves on your broadcasts through commenting on the Hangout threads and replays.
Social followings are one thing, but email lists are your most motivated followers, buyers, repeat buyers, top supporters and even affiliates. Once you have people on your email list, you only want to send them into places that convert for you.
Enter Squeeze pages
Streaming your show to a conversion oriented action page, or as we call it, a squeeze page, takes a bit more work since you have to embed the code each time manually and FTP the page as the show starts. I use FireFTP for FireFox to quickly move files and FTP. And you have seen how to embed HOAs here…
Stream Live Webinars with Google+ Hangouts On Air
Now you can email your list with a link to a URL on your site. Now you can drag your followers out of the social site. You can use Google Events to invite your following to your event and direct them to your squeeze page in advance. But not just some blog post with how many outgoing links in the side bar? No, just to a page that is built to do one thing.
Most Internet marketers I suggest using Hangouts to replace GoTo Webinar seem unimpressed. That is until I tell them they can embed the streaming video on their own sites. I immediately started using my squeeze page to host my weekly Google+ For Business Show in April of 2012. But when I started hosting the replays for a short time only on my sales page, then I started seeing my sales there double and even triple.
Here is that story in my #1 Hangout conversion strategy up next…

#1 Stream Your Hangouts on Air And Replay To A Sales Letter

Using this single tactic alone generated $12,000 to just one of our products. First we stream high end on topic HOA presentations to the squeeze page and drove traffic there both in advance of the show and during the event as I described in detail above. So now that you have this growing list what are you going to do with it?
In today’s world I don’t care how good your copy is, it is harder than ever to get someone to click thru to a sales letter and not watch them bounce as soon as they see the salesletter style page and long copy. But if you are going to sell something you have to get this visit, and they have to stay on the page.
Second, if you have spent any time around any kind of advertising training, you have heard that most buyers need to be exposed to your offer 7 to 8 times before they buy. Right?
Doing a weekly Hangout On Air show, not allowing replays on Google+ or YouTube and embedding the replay only on the sales page removed both the click thru problem, the high bounce rate associated with sales pages and the repeat exposure dilemma.
The email list you build by sending social traffic to the embedded Hangout On Air on a squeeze page is highly targeted since they went there to see your show streamed. Opting in while seeing it just makes sense. Emailing that list to see the show replayed on the sales letter no longer contains pitch, it contains free training in my case, or maybe something fun or entertaining in non marketing niches.

Replay only for my list on an action page…

Between early April and late June of 2012, this one tactic alone returned a 37% conversion rate from my list this spring, The key was getting my list to the sales letter up 8 to 10 separate times and keeping them there to watch the replay.

Bringing it altogether…

We are finding now that the ease of doing an HOA show, recording it, embedding replays and then being able to archive a Hangout On Air to be the best free software I have seen in 13 years of marketing online.
One hitch that you are going to run into is taking questions and most take the mistake of taking them from the Google+ or YouTube stream. I again avoid attention span drains like Google+ and YouTube and instead use Google Moderator to take questions before and during the show. I like it since it does not link back to Google+ and does not expose my attendees to my competitors.
Then combine the ability to interview and be interviewed with no more software or OS than a modern browser and a webcam that you probably already own, you may just find you are the new TV show your niche loves.
Finally take all of that and turn it into a marketing process that converts into RSS subscribers, social followers, email list opt ins and above all, sales! At that point being able to sell product as I have is just icing on a cake that does not even require you to spend anymore time pursuing attention on yet another social site. You can simply use the great new tools from Google+ and spend more time running your business and making money.
I hope you profit from these tried and true conversion examples and find even more new ways to use Hangouts On Air to create conversions in your own business! – Chris Lang

Disable Facebook Timeline

2012-10-16T21:44:00.000-07:00

Facebook timeline is a great way of displaying your old photos, memorable posts and apps with your friends and family. This feature changes your entire Facebook Profile layout into a more attractive look. I previously wrote a tutorial on how to Enable Facebook Timeline Feature and today I am sharing the tutorial on how to completely remove the timeline app from your profile and revert to older Facebook profile layout. Since this time-based story telling did receive mixed feedback therefore it would be really helpful for most of you to learn how to undo/delete this application.

UPDATE: Facebook Timeline has been officially activated on all old layouts. Know why you can't undo Facebook Timeline?

How To Disable Facebook Timeline Layout?

Log in to your Facebook account
Then visit this page Developers
Towards your left you will see apps. Choose the app you created for timeline. In my case I named it Timeline Feature.

4. Click the Edit Settings link,

5. Then on the settings page towards bottom-left you will see many options under related links, Choose Delete App. Which will delete the timeline app.

6. Confirm to delete the app and Bingo you have successfully shifted back to the older Profile view.

Visit your profile to see it in its exact previous look and layout. Do let me know if you needed any help pals. Hope you find this helpful. :>

jQuery Popup For Facebook LikeBox to Blogger

2012-10-16T21:40:00.001-07:00

This widget pops up a jQuery window containing Facebook likebox as soon as a new visitor arrives. This plugin can be added to both Blogger Blogs and Wordpress. I am using here the same jQuery effect introduced by sidhart in JQuery Popup Just Like Aweber Subscription Form. Lightbox effects like this one can be widely seen on many blogs now. It will help you increase your Facebook Fans greatly and our previous version will surely increase the number of your RSS subscribers. In my next tutorials I will make sure to make it more interactive with social media links and a complete version with everything you may need.
I will not be providing a DEMO for this because you can try it live in our HTML Editor to see how it works.
Tip: Copy the code given in step#4 and paste it inside this editor.

Try it now!

How it works?

This popup appears only once to every new visitor. The ip address of the visitor is stored in browser cookie and as the page loads again the widget wont be called again for the same visitor thus eliminating the chances of bugging regular readers. Because of course it will look weird if the popup appears again and again on every pageview. It will appear both on homepage and sub pages depending which page the visitor is accessing. I have set the cookie refresh time to 30 days, which means that this lightbox will appear again for the same visitor after 30 days. We can easily set the number of days to prompt the visitors about your Facebook Fan page. Lets get straight to the one step installation process.

Add Facebook LikeBox inside Jquery Popup in Blogger

I am discussing here steps for blogger but if you know how to deal simple HTML code then you can easily add it to your wordpress blog too.

Go To Blogger > Design
Click choose a gadget
Select HTML/javascript widget
Paste the following code inside it

<style>

The 3 Key Steps to Increasing Web Traffic

2012-10-16T09:58:00.000-07:00

This is a guest post written by the author of the newly founded Blogging Boom. For more tips on blogging, check out their brand new blog!
Many bloggers often ask how to increase blog traffic, which is essential to online success. But just as you may be wondering, how can this be done? It’s simple. There are only three key steps you must work on: content production, networking, and promotion. Once you learn the main three, you can remember to integrate them into your daily blogging routine. So let’s delve in a little further and discover how you can reach your true online potential.

1. Content Production:

a) Write how-to’s, lists, guides, tutorials, and resource compilations
b) Set out to publish one linkbait/pillar article per week
c) Quality over quantity: don’t post every single day
d) Guest post for other bloggers

2. Networking:

a) Respond to all your emails and questions received
b) Comment on other blogs
c) Link to other bloggers in your niche
d) Use social networking: Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, etc.

3. Promotion:

a) Submit your content to social media sites
b) Tell others in your network about articles you’ve published
c) Post in online forums and groups and reference your content
d) Link to your guest posts and get your name out there
Increasing blog traffic certainly isn’t difficult, and generally tends to just require a push in the right direction. After you’ve begun promoting your blog and gotten it off the ground or overcome your recent traffic plateau, much of the work begins to happen for you. Good luck!

7 Reasons Why You CAN’T Make Money Blogging

2012-10-16T09:56:00.000-07:00

This is probably an article you’re not expecting to see on a site that is dedicated to instructing people on how to make money blogging. However, it’s about time for all of us who are seeking this goal to take a step forward and get our facts straight. We have been living in this unrealistic mindset for quite some time. In the past it has been considered very possible to easily cash in online, but this is no longer completely true for many reasons. While some people have been able to make it big through blogging, the average Joe usually cannot. The internet is always rapidly advancing, and we cannot focus on the same thing forever. It is high time to move on to bigger and better things.

So why can’t we make money blogging?

1. The internet is no longer a new idea. In the past, some people easily managed to cash in on the internet — sometimes, pretty greatly. However, now this isn’t a game being played by only savvy entrepreneurs. Everyone and their cousin knows about the internet, and everyone wants in on their chance to make money online. This whole business is growing to be pretty saturated, and it’s already in the past at this point.
2. You need to entertain people or provide a solution to their problems. People use the internet for a couple of primary reasons, two of which are to have a good time and take a break from the world, or to figure something out or solve a problem. If your blog provides neither of those things, then there won’t be too much interest or value placed in it. And if it DOES provide those things, then great, you have a chance at getting visitors. But then there is still the issue of monetizing those visitors. You need something to offer, and you need to be able to market and monetize it. You can’t just set out one day to become an “online entrepreneur” — you need a business model.
3. In that way, blogging is much like the real world. If you have a shop in the middle of a city, and your main goal is to make money and benefit yourself, how many customers do you think you would attract — even if thousands of them walked outside your store everyday? The answer: not many. You need to provide real value to your viewers or customers, or at least make them believe you are. You need to make them believe you are offering them something truly great, new, and different — and that is all in their benefit. You need to solve a problem or provide entertainment, and if you do that right, then chances are that most likely you will have happy and satisfied visitors. Once you’ve got that down, you can focus on monetizing them.
4. But even so, how much profit could you really make? When you make money blogging, your profit usually caps out at a certain point. And generally, that peaking point isn’t ever as high as you would like it to be. You can only sell so many advertisements, after all — no matter how many viewers you are getting, there is a definite limit to how much you can make off of them with advertisements. That’s why it is so necessary to do or provide something different. Come up with something that will hold a lot of interest, and that won’t have any limits to how much you can earn through it. The more original the idea, the better.

So what do we do about it?

5. Do something that will really make you stand out. Whether you’re offering a service or product that is totally new and inventive, use shock value, stir things up, or whatever — you’ve got to do something that will make people recognize you. Your site has millions of competitors, and what are you doing right now to ensure that you’re different from all of the rest? This isn’t always easy. Mostly everything has been done before. Sit down, muster up every ounce of creativity you have in you, and brainstorm.
6. Provide something that is genuinely helpful to people. The internet is undoubtedly one of the biggest resources we have. People want answers, their problems solved, or something that is going to make their life easier. If your site cannot provide any of these things, it is usually going to turn out being rather pointless. As I said earlier, offer people something that they will want to thank you for. Or even if you can’t do that, at least give them something that they THINK they’re getting a great deal out of. Doing this, your site will be much more valuable and profitable.
7. Try something else; come up with a new money making strategy. For most people, blogging just won’t cut it when it comes to making money. This is the time for the online world to mature and delve in new tactics. Try your hand in keyword marketing, product promotion, or other such things. There are plenty of other opportunities out there that take a lot less effort and could potentially offer a lot more profit. If you’re interested in learning about a new variety of tips on making money online, subscribe to SuperBloggingTips.com. I’ll be writing about many other tactics in the near future, especially since we’ve all got to learn how to try something new.

Blogger Tip: Importing Your Blog

2012-10-15T22:33:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I talked about saving your blog posts by exporting them to your desktop. Sarah had a great question that I thought I would follow-up on. If you've exported your blog posts to your computer and later need to import them, this is the tip for you. :)

Step 1: (Click image to enlarge)

On your Blogger dashboard, click "Settings". Once in Settings, click "Other" under the drop-down list (highlighted in yellow). You should now see the following page:

Step 2:

Next, click the blue link that says "Import Blog". This will open up the following screen:

Step 3:

Simply click "Choose File" and select the file that you had previously saved to your desktop. Click the orange "Import Blog" button after proving that you're not a robot and you are all set. :) All of your previous blog posts will not be uploaded to your new blog.

Increase Traffic By Solving Problems

2012-10-15T22:30:00.002-07:00

When it comes to blogging, the phrase “birds of a feather, flock together” rings very true. Those that visit your blog and read your articles consistently likely care about many of the same things you care about. Whether it’s technology, parenting, current events, arts/crafts, or some other topic, your readers often find your blog through searches and recommendations of like-minded people on social networks.
So, if you’re struggling with your next article idea or you’re looking for ways to increase traffic to your blog via long-term searches, just take a moment and think about the things your are passionate about and how you have solved a problem in a way that might be useful to your readers. The same steps that you are going through are likely going to be important (and probably helpful) to you visitors.
For instance, the other day I wanted to view Twitter.com on my iPad, but Safari kept sending me to the Twitter mobile site, which was NOT the view I wanted. I wanted to see the standard desktop view that visitors see when they are visiting the site from their PC. After about 20 minutes of trying to figure out how to switch, I finally resolved it in a very unconventional way and ended up writing a blog post about the challenge of switching between the Twitter desktop view and the mobile view.
Guess what…others are experiencing the same issue and their searches from Google have made that post one of the most popular posts on my blog over the last few weeks. The result? My article helped others who immediately found the answer via Twitter, but also held long-term benefit as the search engines picked it up and organic SEO drove traffic from those searching Google and Bing.

That's a LOT of Traffic!! By helping people learn how to switch their Twitter view from mobile to desktop on their iPads and tablets, I increased traffic to my blog

Another of the most popular post on my blog over the last few weeks, however, came from my experience with the Apple iPad iOS 5 upgrade. The update has be nothing short of miserable, with my iPad 1 crashing every day. Because I was so frustrated with the crashes and because I couldn’t find any mention of Apple acknowledging or working to resolve the issue, I wrote a blog post warning iPad 1 owners to hold off on the iOS 5 update until a more stable version of the OS was released.
As a result of the article, though, many of my friends, family, and co-workers have thanked me for alerting them to the issue before they upgraded. Again, a situation where the readers of my blog benefited from the challenge I was feeling in real life.

Some of my most popular posts have been those that have helped people solve issues like the crashing of iPads due to iOS 5

So, next time you have writers block and are looking for a new article idea, just take a few moments to think about how you solve the problems in your personal life and find a way to share those experiences with your readers. Not only will they benefit from your experiences, they’ll probably thank you with a comment with their shared experience. The fact that others are likely searching for the solution will help your organic SEO and bring in readers. It’s a win-win situation. You help others by blogging good content that solves a problem, they increase traffic to your article!
What blog post have you written that has really helped your readers? Let me know and feel free to post a link to it in a comment. I’d love to see examples from a broad range of different topics/stories.

Best practices to help Google find, crawl, and index your site

2012-10-14T21:56:00.000-07:00

We have already talked about avoiding Panda Penalty for your website, and what to do if you get hit, because apparently, Google isn't very forgiving, and has impacted tonnes of websites. But that is about as far as we can go to avoid a penalty. The next step would be to facilitate Google, and help it find, crawl, and index your website. The easier it is for Google to find your site, the quicker it will be indexed. And the better it is, the faster it will be crawled on a regular basis, hence giving you more organic traffic each day. Here are some of the best practices recommended by Google that you should apply to your website in order to get the most out of it.

Submit your website

When your website is up, submit its URL at http://www.google.com/submityourcontent/. Also, submit a sitemap of your website in Google Webmaster Tools. This will ensure that Google knows about your site.

Content and design

When designing your website, and creating content, here are a few things you should keep in mind, because they will facilitate Google by making your site friendly.

Create a hierarchy of your pages, and make navigation easy for users. Use categories to break them up. Most sites implement an easy-to-use navigation bar for their categories. It'd also be a good idea to provide an archives page, or a sitemap page to your readers.
Create informative, rich and quality content for your readers.
Interlink your website pages to make your website rank higher and also to provide user-friendliness. However, keep the number of those links from getting too high.
Always tag images with ALT tags, and if necessary, do not use important text within images. Write it as text instead.
Use proper meta titles, descriptions and keywords (optional). They should summarize the content of your webpage.
Keep URL parameters to a minimum. Check out our post on what URL parameters are, and how to modify them.

Quality

Quality is a very sensitive issue with Google, and rightly so. The aim of the search engine is to return the best possible search results. And if a website falls short of the recommended quality guidelines, or tries to exploit loopholes, then it will be penalized sooner or later. Here are some quality guidelines recommended by Google.

The Do's

Focus your attention on making your website for users, rather than search engines. Ask yourself this; "Does my content help my users?"
Avoid tricks and exploiting loopholes, because Google will ultimately get you, and penalize your website. If you'd feel comfortable explaining what you've don't to your website to a Google employee, then you're fine. Otherwise, there's probably cause for concern.
Create unique, and useful content for your users
Look for hacked content on your website, and remove it ASAP
Remove user-generated spam (comments etc) from your site.

The Don'ts

Avoid link schemes (buying links, giving out paid links etc)
Avoid auto-generated content. Also don't send automated queries to Google
Don't use sneaky redirects
Avoid cloaking (serving different content to search engines and readers) and hidden text and links.
Don't stuff your pages with irrelevant keywords
AVOID malicious content, such as virus, Trojans and other phishing practices

Website guidelines

Webmasters often get so engrossed in the visual look of their website, that they often forget the bare-bones, the text part. Fancy features such as Flash, JQuery etc aren't the concern of search engines. They see your site much as text browsers, such as Lynx, do. If all of your site isn't available in a text browser, then you might want to reconsider its design.

Here are some more technical guidelines from Google

Make sure your web-server supports the If-Modified-Since-HTTP feature. This lets Google know if a page has been modified since it was last crawled.
Use robots.txt to specify what section(s) of your website you don't want indexed. But be careful so as not to introduce a site-wide blockage of search crawlers.
Make sure ads don't effect your search engine rankings. AdSense ads are usually blocked from being indexed. For affiliate ads, you can use a nofollow attribute etc.
Test your site occasionally, and monitor its performance, such as load time etc. Things like fast load times bode well with search engines.

Following these basic steps should help get your website gain favor with Google. Make sure you understand them, and implement them as well. All the best :)

XHTML To HTML: Blogger Template Conversion

2012-10-14T21:53:00.000-07:00

I already shared how a dynamic XHTML BlogSpot template could be converted into a blank Static HTML Template, but what if you needed to keep the same design of your blog and only remove the Dynamic objects like widgets. This could easily be achieved by carefully converting the XHTML format of code structure to Basic HTML 4.0 File. This will enable you to even embed or add a PHP or ASP.net code inside the Cloned BlogSpot design in HTML format. A live example is our Contact page with a PHP contact Form. It is not possible to add PHP inside blogger templates because no direct access to web hosting ftp account is available so far. When you visit our contact page, you will feel like you are still in BlogSpot template environment but in reality its only a Cloned HTML design of the original template. The steps today are interesting and fun to try. Make sure you have a webhosting to try today's tutorial. We are using hostgator as our blog web host to host all our files and resources.
This is our new series and would be fun sharing all the new development tips.

XHTML To HTML

Part1: XHTML To HTML: Blogger Template Conversion

Part2: In Progress...

Part3:

Purpose of This Tutorial

Purpose: XHTML is composed of XML and HTML 4. In this series we will learn to remove the XML portion of code and leave HTML 4 alone. Thus we will be able to create a static HTML Clone of a blogger template.

Download and Study your Template

Go To Blogger > Templates
click Backup/restore
Download your template
Right click the downloaded xml file and choose "Open with > wordPad"

Study the template:
Every webpage has the following concrete HTML structure. Only the DOCTYPE element would differ in different platforms.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>

<head>
</head>

<body>
</body>

</html>

A webpage consist of 4 important sections

The DOCTYPE defines the type and version of web language being used in the page. In Blogger & also wordpress the type is defined as XHTML and version as 1.0. The only difference is that wordpress uses transitional XHTML while Blogger uses the strict unforgivable version. Blogger doctype looks like this. You will find it at the top of your downloaded file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

The bolded part is the declaration for XML so that custom tags created using xml could be identified by the compiler. You wont find the bolded part in Wordpress blogs instead you will find the PHP opening tags.
The html tag enclosed both the head and body tags
The head tag is where you add all your stylesheets (CSS) , scripts (JavaScript, jquery etc.) and meta tags (for SEO & platform compatibility purposes). Code inside head tags are visible to browsers only and not visible on webpage to visitors.
The body tag contains your main content. This is the area where you add your Blog header, navigation, post section, sidebars and footer. Code inside body tag is visible on webpage. Any thing you add here will appear on your site and visitors will be able to see it.

Now if you open the downloaded XML file you will observe that the template has the same core HTML structure as we discussed above. Press CTRL + F to find the tags.
All you need to do now is to identify the dynamic code sections and remove them from the template leaving behind static objects along with their related stylesheets and scripts. For that stay tuned for part2!

The Browser Wars

The day Netscape introduced their custom HTML tags which only their browser could interpret, started an ever growing war between browser companies like IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari and opera. Designers were finding it difficult to create a code that was compatible with all browsers, thus W3C stepped in and introduced XML. XML was used to write other web languages and was a common standard for all browsers. Since most pages were already coded in HTML using tags that no more are supported by modern browsers today, XML was use to create advanced HTML called XHTML. Since then XHTML has remained the standard to create fancy and colorful webpages. The same language is use to code Blogger and Wordpress platforms.
To understand what is the basic difference between XML, HTML and XHTML, I would highly recommend that you read the great article written by hubpages folks.

How to Build a Cloud Computing Network

2012-10-14T05:17:00.000-07:00

Most of us are familiar with the delivery of information technology services through servers. There is however another way of accessing these same services through cloud computing. The name refers to the fact that the required resources are found in the “clouds” since the user is not required to be in a specific place to have access to such resources. The cloud symbol often seen in diagrams is used to represent the Internet.
Simply put, these resources are retrieved from the Internet using web-based tools and applications. Working remotely is possible since the cloud computing structure permits information access on the mere condition that there is web access. Business may find cloud computing services more cost-effective in the aspect of managing information since they are not required to own servers.
There are marked advantages in using cloud computing including convenience and ease of use since the provider takes charge of managing the service. Users will just have to have their computers with Internet access. They are also given the choice of determining how much service they want to avail of at any given time. There are offered options either for a public or private cloud. The main difference between the two is the market to whom the service is being offered. While public clouds are offered to all Internet users, private clouds are only limited to a specific number of people. A difference in service may also occur depending on the category chosen since cloud computing services may either be related to infrastructure, platform, or software.
To make the cloud computing service work, an effective cloud computing network has to be built. The aim is to enable a pool of resources to function as an solid whole, the product of which should be made available to users regardless of location. To accomplish this, networks will have to be flexible on provided bandwidth, management function, and maintaining visibility regardless of prevailing environment.
To avoid the expected bottleneck from the use of services as provided in the public Internet, many companies are opting to build their private cloud networks. Essentially, those who practice this convert their respective data centers into hosted platforms. Whether a company chooses to build a public or private cloud network, it will have to link storage and servers to the LAN. There is a need to ensure seamless flow of data and applications through storage systems, including the data center and the LAN. To enable cloud computing networks to work, proper attention also has to be given to virtual switching.

Top 6 Most Popular Search Engines To Submit Your Site

2012-10-08T00:12:00.000-07:00

There are so many search engines available to Internet users these days, making it hard to know which ones are best and which ones you should focus on for traffic generation. Each search engine has its own set of rules that you need to follow if you want to get listed, however the best rule of thumb is to just build honest, straight-forward websites that are filled with original, relevant content. Any tricks will just get you penalized or blacklisted in the end. Below is a list of the top search engines that you should submit your website to based upon user-popularity and real traffic results:

Google (www.google.com) According to website ranking utility Alexa.com, Google is not just the "Big Daddy" in SEO circles for web developers, it truly is the #1 site on the web. Many search engine experts will tell you that once you get listed on Google, everything else will fall into place. What they mean by that is, a Google listing will get you picked up by all the lesser engines, giving you more visibility, traffic and popularity across the web. Take your time and study the rules and guidelines published at Google to maximize your results and use other Google tools to boost your listing.
Bing (www.bing.com) It's hard to be #2, but Microsoft has done a good job of making Bing a solid #2, despite its #22 ranking on Alexa. Not as popular or widely used as Google, Bing is still worth the effort of studying and submitting. The more opportunities you give your site to reach out to your target demographic, the better.
Yahoo! Search (search.yahoo.com) Yahoo! is separated into two distinct parts: the original Yahoo!, which is a directory and not a search engine; and Yahoo! Search, which actually is a search engine. It is a good idea to submit your website to both parts, taking care to adhere to any rules that may apply.
Ask.com (www.ask.com) Ask a question and Ask.com will give you an answer. This boolean search engine will help you find the answers to all your questions, or will at least give you a bunch of links trying. Ranked at #52 on Alexa, Ask.com is not top of the list, but it still commands a lot of traffic and consumer interest.
AOL Search (search.aol.com) No, seriously - AOL still exists and there are still AOL users out there, enough in fact for AOL Search to rank #5 on this top list. Many people still have AOL news and search as their "home page" in their browsers, so it pays to submit your pages to AOL Search.
Blekko (www.blekko.com) This self-described spam-free search engine is powered by the same web bot used at DMOZ a popular human-checked search directory. No actual submission is required, but you will need to allow Blekko to search your sit, and an email contact is provided to help expedite crawling and listing.

Best situation for you will be creating one or two products of your own around the chosen niche as that will give you huge money making opportunity. And in case you want to look at much easier ways to earn money from your blog, you should start promoting other’s people product on your blog.

You should only choose products that are matching your blog niche and you are recommending them to your blog readers because they are very high quality products and will be helping in fixing lots of your reader’s problems. Your only intention behind promoting a product should not be just about getting maximum profit. I have seen some affiliate marketers are able to make a good income just by referring good affiliate products with their target audiences.

Some websites you could actually try to find targeted affiliate products for your niche blogs are Amazon, ClickBank, LinkShare and Commission Junction.

Rent Ad Space On Your Blog

As you are producing very high quality content around a particular niche and have already established it as one of best blogs in targeted niche, so there will be lots of advertisers in that niche who would be interested in getting a presence for their product on your blog. They may be interested in placing a banner or text advertisement on your blog in exchange for some monthly fee.

You should set up an advertising page on your blog mentioning all advertising options on your blog. Be sure to include some social proof , page rank and Alexa rank. You can also try selling banner space on your blog using BuySellAds type of ad networks.

Apart from that, there will be some advertisers who want you to review their product based website on your niche blog in exchange for some monetory benefits. Writing reviews about products that are matching your blog niche is going to be very beneficial for you. In this case, you are going to update your blog with a fresh and targeted content and at the same time, going to get paid for your blogging efforts. In long run, you could expect receiving lots of targeted traffic to such posts from search engines.

Sell Your Expertise

So by now, you must have established yourself as an expert in your niche. Now it’s time to use your expertise to make more money. No doubt, you can use your expertise to create more niche blogs and thus end up with more profits. But at the same time, you can make a good amount of money by helping other bloggers and website owners in your niche to set up their blogs. If you have established yourself as a blogging Guru and know how to make huge profits, no doubt you can help other guys as well repeat the same kind of success with their blogs.

With this intention, there will be some people who will be interested in receiving your one on one coaching or training to get answers for their specific questions.

If you ask me personally, I have so far made good earnings from Google Adsense, selling other people’s products and selling ad space on my niche specific blogs. So far I have not created a product of my own. These days, I’m trying to sell my expertise in the blogging niche in the form of guest blogging services and WordPress installation services as a good way of making money.

How To Write Your Most Popular Blog Post

2012-10-06T06:24:00.001-07:00

Everybody does!

Popular blog posts can be described as the articles on your blog that gets the most comments, or sometimes the most views.

Creating such a blog post all depends on how you write and present that article to your readers.

The truth can be said about a popular song. The people who listen and love a popular song liked the way that the singer has presented it and also the message that is being delivered in the song.

Therefore, writing your most popular post often depends on you the writer and what you are writing about.

I have been blogging for some time now and I have written some really popular blog posts on my blog, on blogging contests which helped me to make some money and even on this blog.

Here are my most popular guest posts on this blog:

If you notice, all of these posts has over 100 comments.

Want to know my trick into writing popular articles?

This month on my blog, I wrote 3 articles that landed in the second, third and forth spot on my blog as the most popular articles there.

Imagine that!

Those 3 articles got more comments than the other existing articles that were on my blog for more than 6 or more months. Those articles got a total of 272 comments and I think this is an amazing accomplishment.

Writing Your Most Popular Blog Post

There no set formula that you can use to write your most popular blog post. It can happen to any of your blog post without you doing anything extra.

Sometimes you may write an article and think that this article will go viral and get the most comments ever. But when you publish it, the article only get about 20 comments.

So what is needed to write popular blog posts?

Here are my tips for writing a popular blog post

Give The Audience What They Want

If you truly want your blog posts to be popular, then one thing that I have noticed is that you have to give your blog readers what they want.

This is pretty simple and straight forward!

If I find a blog post with information that suites my need and it has information that can benefit me, then no doubt I am going to be inspired to make a comment on that article. I am going to want to leave a comment thanking the author of that wonderful article because the information that was written was something that I was looking for.

When writing blog posts, don’t just write because you want to publish something on your blog. You want to deliver information that your readers want.

Browse forums, set up a poll, ask on Twitter what information your readers want. Doing this will help you to write blog posts that are targeted to your readers.

This will do the trick in writing your most popular blog post.

Reply To Your Comments

If you really want your blog post to be popular then replying to comments isn’t an option.

It is a must!

Replying to each comment left on your blog post can help you do double up on the total amount of comments that your article will get.

For example, if you write an article and it gets 58 comments, then replying to each comment will get you a total of 116 comments.

Another reason for replying to comments is that it helps to build a strong community around your blog.

Having a strong blogging community will help you reach blogging success in no time. This also encourages the commentator to come back and leave more comments if you engage them in a discussion.

Reply to each comment and this will help to make your blog post popular and also help to build up your blog.

Write Less, Promote More

Have you ever tried this method of getting your blog post to be popular?

Writing less means that you doesn’t mean that you write a short article. It means that you write articles a few days a part and for the days that you don’t write then you take that time to promote your blog post.

Doing this will help to make your blog post get popular.

Ask your friends online to leave a comment, promote on social media sites, social networking sites and also email it to your list if you have a mailing list.

It’s All About Quality Content And Delivery

Quality content is the best thing to have on your blog and should be done while writing your blog posts. When a blog post is popular this can be a result from quality content.

The better the content then the more popular the post will become.

You also have to take in mind the way that you will deliver this content to your audience.

If you deliver your blog post in a way which is straight forward and easy to understand then your blog post will get popular in no time.

Take for instance my 2nd most popular article on my blog (How To Make Money From Your Blog By Selling Advertisements) 4th most popular article on my blog (How To Make Your First $100 From Your Blog)

In those articles I gave tips on how to make money from your blog selling advertisements and tips on how to make your $100 from your blog. I made sure to write articles on the topics that people want to read about.

The content was clear and delivery was straight forward.

If you try that approach then I guarantee that you will be writing popular blog posts in no time.

12 Things to Do Before Applying for Google Adsense

2012-10-03T21:41:00.001-07:00

I know many of you want to make some good money with adsense right?

But it’s not easy to get into adsense program now a days. You have to do few things before applying for adsense.

Google Adsense is world’s larges Ads Network and works at Pay Per Click system. It’s paying rates are better than all of other networks which is the biggest reason it is sopopular to all Bloggers and Webmasters. But since everybody is running behind them, they have made the approval system very strict. You make little mistakes and get disapproved every time. So you need a complete guidance and list of thing that you need to do before applying for Google Adsense and supposing that you are ready.

12 Things to Do Before Applying for Google Adsense

1. Privacy Policy :

One of the common mistakes that every Blogger makes and that I made many times before finally getting approved. Even though there are people out there who say that having a Privacy Policy for a Blog doesn’t makes sense but they are wrong.

A Privacy actually describes to your readers about what they will get on your Blog , what they should do and what they should not. So obviously there is nothing bad in having a Privacy Policy. While it can affect somehow on your Adsense Approval, you must give it a try. You can write it yourself or find Privacy Policy Generators online (You don’t need a lawyer anyway).

2. About Page

An About has major role and importance if you don’t want to apply for Adsense. But when it comes to Adsense, they are about Zero chances of getting approved if you are not showing this page.About page simply describes about you and your Blog . This will not only help you establish a relationship with readers but it will also make them trust upon you.

3. Contact Us Page

It’s quite obvious that everyone has his/her own opinion. What one of your readers likes may be bothering someone else. Than it is better to give them opportunity to speak up to you and tell how they feel about your Blog, what they want to be edited , what they liked or hated.

It will also show the Google Adsense Team that is viewing your site that you actually care about your readers and not only the money and Adsense.

4. Name/ Email Verification

Make sure to put you Name and Email address in some easily visible area like About Me and Contact Us pages. It will confirm to Google Adsense Team that it is the same person who applied for Adsense and not some spam, crappy bots.

5. Age Verification

I’m really laughing out typing this.

Why?

Because this is where I encountered a problem. Instead of 18, I accidentally published my age as 17 while on Adsense Application Form, it was accurately 18.

Hence there started a problem . Because Google Adsense is not for under 18 people. I realized this problem after being disproved a few times without any legitimate reason. So I advice you to be accurate while typing your age.

6. Minimum Number of Posts

There is no exact answer. Not even one. Because I have seen very established Blogs with 400+ posts and their owner telling me that Google Adsense is rejecting them while somewhere ,people with 40,50 posts are enjoying making money. Exactly what I said that there is no actual answer. However, we can always predict things. According to my experience , you should only apply after you have more than 70 posts. Posts length should must be 500+ words too.

7. Design

Your Blog is the biggest thing after Content. This represents your expertise ,experience and Professionalism. So be careful because anything can kill your Chances.

8. Content Type

Be careful with what type of content you are publishing. Because it is something that truly matters. Google Adsense is not for Pornographic, Illegal Items, Drugs or other Blogs / Sites like that. Also Adsense team won’t be willing to allow you to step in if you own a Non English Blog. Having posts shorter than 300 words in length is also Red Signal.

9. Providing Value

Don’t complain about not making money and don’t clearly state that your are Blogging for Money only and have no other interest in it. Because this will show them that you will not be providing values to your readers any day. Hence another Red Light glows up.

10. Top Level Domain

Those are gone far away when Adsense used to approve “Blogspot” and “WordPress.com” Blogs. As for today, you must have your own unique domain that specifies your Blog. If you don’t have one yet, stop dreaming about getting approved with Sub domains and go buy a Top Level Domain.

Another important thing about domain is it’s age. Because for most of Asian Countries, Adsense has placed an age restriction. They don’t accept any sites before they are 6 months old.

11. Other Ad Networks

If you have any other Ads placed like Chitika, Clicksor or anything, it’s time to drop them off.

Even Google Adsense allows you to use other Ad Networks along with them, it’s better to remove the ads before Applying and don’t put them back until you get a reply from Adsense Team.

12. Paid Traffic

Google hates the sites that are getting Paid traffic and mostly penalizes them so there is not a damn chance of getting Adsense Approval letter for a site that is getting paid traffic. You can bring traffic from Search Engines or any other way you want but if you want to earn via Google Adsense the right way, paid traffic is not a solution.

Over To You!

This will take your few time and you have to Do these things Before Applying for Google Adsense. I guess these are not too hard. Don’t be sad if google adsense not approve your blog! There are many other ways to make money online without adsense.
