This email is from GAN;

As you may have read in our recent email, we’ve made the difficult decision to retire Google Affiliate Network (GAN). According to your GAN Online Program Terms and Conditions and AdSense Terms and Conditions, we will suspend all GAN services, except for certain reporting and payments functionality, on July 31, 2013. On October 31, 2013, we will suspend and terminate any remaining GAN services.

Publisher payments will be disbursed for your GAN network activity generated through July 31, 2013. For clarity, the last day that new activity will be tracked through GAN (including conversions) is July 31, 2013.

Affiliate publishers can continue to earn AdSense revenue through the AdSense network. Thanks for your support of our affiliate product, and we look forward to helping you grow your business in the future.

Sincerely,
The Google Affiliate Network Team

There are several types of Spam websites. Many webpage providers crate useless pages, spam pages. Google takes it seriously because  relevant websites get buried, and it’s bad for legitimate website owners because their sites become harder to find. But Google handle this problem with high technique.

Hidden text and/or keyword stuffing

Behind the Scenes of Fresh Web Explorer – Fresh Web Explorer is conceptually simple — it’s really just a giant feed reader. Well, just a few million of what we think are the most important feeds on the web.

At a high level, it’s arranged as a pipeline, beginning with crawling the feeds themselves and ending with inserting the crawled data into our index. In between, we filter out URLs that we’ve already seen in the last few months, and then crawl and do a certain amount of processing. Of course, this wouldn’t be much of an article if it ended here, with the simplicity. So, onwards! Read More

Why Google May Change Search Result Snippets – If you go to Google Webmaster tools, and see the list of queries a page of yours might rank well for, you might see some query terms or phrases that you want to show up in search results.

So what if your page has received 10,000 search impressions for that term or phrase, but only 50 clicks? Read More

It is arguably the biggest change that Facebook has ever undergone in terms of its main interface. Yes, things such as ‘timeline’ were introduced in recent years, and graph search is set for a full launch later this year, but changing the entire interface of one section is a huge step.

What does it mean for Facebook, why has it happened, and what will the general reaction be?

Mobile Appearance

The most striking thing that one notices about the new layout is how it looks like a mobile site. There is a slight irony in this, given that Facebook have been criticised for the perceived low quality of their mobile sites on various devices, as well as the native applications that host the site.

However, at a time when Facebook have faced serious questions about how their brand develops going forward, being the first major site to really ‘show its hand’ in terms of interface changes is definitely a positive step. Web design trends will move more towards simplified layouts, even on desktop devices, and Facebook have shown the power that this can have.

While it is unlikely that the company had any concerns over how many people access their site on a daily basis, they may well be looking to pick up even more subscribers, adding to the billion it already has, through offering a fresh approach to delivering the news.

It will also be interesting to see if the implementation of graph search in the coming months works towards further personalizing our news feeds based on what our friends have viewed and shared.

Advertising Controversy

There was uproar last year when Facebook started to give greater prominence to advertising on its news pages, especially following accusations that it was able to cash in from people who had bought ‘likes’ and done other things to inorganically boost their following.

People are likely to have an opinion on their new layout, too, as it makes adverts even more ‘front and centre’ on the page, making them almost impossible to avoid.

It is no secret that Facebook generates billions from its advertising streams, so it is no surprise in that respect. What it will do, however, is bring out those who feel the company is on a slippery downhill slope and believe that more is being done to bring in advertising revenues because there is no plan for making money in other areas.

Slowly But Surely

Rather than risk being lambasted for their new layout by launching it to everyone, it will be a slow process over the coming weeks, meaning that people will have time to get used to it and adapt, and that Facebook won’t face too much criticism at once.

In reality, the look of a news feed is not going to stop people using Facebook, and the impact it will have is likely to be more on the company itself than its individual users, whatever Zuckerberg and other high ups in the company tell us to the contrary.

Anyone looking to write website content needs to find their niche. We all know that a popular website is one that has understandable and informative content, and that only comes from expertise. Some website owners actually overlook content when creating their website, but this is a colossal mistake. Great writing and content is not only about grammar – that is an only a small part of the equation. You’ve GOT to have a niche, and know it! Here are five tips to find the niche for you.

Passion
Anyone looking to write about a niche needs to write about their passion. Everyone has something they are truly passionate about, whether it is mountain biking, traveling, or the stock market. When a writer writes about their passion, the reader can tell, because it’s much more than work, it’s fun!

Study
It may be that you need to study to really master your new topic. That might mean investing in books, magazines, web articles, or even learning in a classroom setting. This might seem intense, but it won’t be if you learn an enjoyable subject. This will make it much easier to write. The words will flow much more easily.

Authority
Once a writer finds a niche, it is time to create content. Anyone writing content needs to write about the subject with authority. Readers will generally appreciate authoritative content, and therefore seek a source that can be relied upon. When trying to sell a product in a certain niche, write about the subject with authority – this will result in much better sales!

Sources
It is important to convey a sense of trust, when writing about any niche, and that comes from not only being an expert about a topic, but being an expert on the other experts. Know what big websites, names & locales that drive the topic, and go to them for source materials. Then, try to become known as an expert yourself. You can do this in many ways. For example, many websites allow guest posting; this allows you to post about your niche, while putting a link back to your website.

Fun
Remember that anyone looking for a niche should find a fun one. After all, it takes awhile to build authority, and you don’t want to be over your topic by the time you become an expert. The task is always going to be easier, so long as you make sure that your topic’s not just interesting – it’s fun! This is probably the most essential thing to consider when looking for the right niche. Writing about a mundane topic will become dull and boring within days, even if you love it. Your field needs to be dynamic, buzzworthy, perhaps even controversial. At the very least, it has to be timely and relevant, and you have to stay on top of recent updates!!
