Big advantages of RSS feeds is that you get content that looks like it’s yours

Wednesday 18 July 2007 @ 2:13 pm

One of the big advantages of RSS feeds is that you get content that looks like its yours. You dont have to create it or pay a writer to write it. Best of all, you wont get in trouble with the search engines. Why not? Because RSS feeds are completely legitimate from the point of view of search engines. I think this is very important especially I have talked about Project Black Mask before.

It’s useful to your visitors who are looking for information related to the theme of your site. And with RSS feeds, your site is constantly updated and fresh, because the feeds update as soon as new articles or content is added to the source you pull your content from. With big sources, this can happen every single hour.

Forthermore, RSS feeds are completely automated so you don’t have to do anything to keep your pages fresh and updated.




Is Project Black Mask a Scam?

Monday 16 July 2007 @ 6:21 pm

I occasionally read an article from Jamie Clarkson regarding the black hat SEO strategy. It mentions Project Black Mask is not for the fainthearted, as it employs some notorious “black hat” strategies to suck traffic from the search engines. Essentially, Project Black Mask teaches exactly how some of the biggest search engine spammers pull off getting thousands of pages and websites indexed in order to earn money from Google Adsense. Unfortunately, there are some serious issues with this whole search engine game - the first of which is that this type of behavior, considered highly unethical in some quarters, has caused Google and other search engines to tighten their algorithms so much that white or gray hat sites are getting penalized as well, e.g., for “duplicate content.” http://www.articledashboard.com/Article/Project-Black-Mask—Scam-/247305

I have also read Project Black Mask and was wondering how to keep Adsense account from being canceled. Seems Project Black Mask provides no real answer to this problem. Unless you can open up accounts in the name of several shell companies, it will be very risky to use black hat SEO strategy and create thousands of spammy pages including your Adsense ID in them.

Its easy to get started with AdSense and it only takes a few minutes. You fill out one single online application and thats it. Once you’re approved, it takes only minutes to set up AdSense; all you have to do is copy and paste a designated block of HTML into the source code for your site. Once you do that, targeted ads will start showing up on your website.

Google AdSense is a fast and absolutely ridiculously easy way for people with websites of all types and sizes to put up and display relevant Google ads on the content pages of their site and earn money.
Because the Google AdSense ads relate to what your visitors came to your site to read about, or because the ads match up to the interests and characteristics of the kind of people your content attracts, you now have a way to improve your content pages AND make some serious bucks off of them.
Google AdSense is also a way for site owners to provide Google search capability to visitors and to earn even more money by putting Google ads on the search results pages. Google AdSense gives you the ability to earn advertising revenue from every single page on your websitewith a minimal investment of your time
So what kind of ads do you have to put up? Thats the good partyou dont have to decide. Google does it for you. AdSense always delivers relevant ads that are precisely targetedon a page-by-page basisto the content that people find on your site. For example, if you have a page that tells the story of your pet fish, Google will send you ads for that site that are for pet stores, fish food, fish bowls, aquariumsyou get the picture.
If you decide you want to add a Google search box to your site, then AdSense will deliver relevant ads targeted to the Google search results pages that your visitors search request generated.

What sort of strategy do you use to create an extreme content site?

Saturday 7 July 2007 @ 11:34 am

What sort of strategy do you use to create an extreme content site? Well, for one thing, you dont try to do it at once. Having said that, though, if you think you want to go extreme, make sure you set up a basic structure that allows for expansion.
Start small, but leave room to grow. For instance, start out with a ten-page site that stays on one topic. Then, once you get Google AdSense going and the checks are coming in, use the tools discussed in this book to determine the hottest keywords of the month and use the other tools we talk about to build your keyword-rich content.
Before you know it, youll be up to thirty, sixty, even a hundred pages. Then youll just need to make a commitment to add a certain number of pages each month.
So now that youve got the gameplan, get going!




How to get content? Try the Reviews of movies, books, music

Thursday 5 July 2007 @ 5:56 pm

Reviews of movies, books, music, this is perhaps the easiest category to get content for. If you have friends who are movie, book, or music fans, theyll probably write reviews for free just for the thrill of seeing their stuff on a site.
Also, this is a never-ending source of content, since there are always new movies, books and music coming out. Contrast that with dog breedsonce youve written everything there is to say about every known breed, you have to wait for them to come up with a new breed!
If you want to have some fun, you can review movies yourself. And actually, if youre running your Google adsense site as a business, you may even be able to deduct the cost of movie tickets from your taxes. Check with a tax consultant to make sure, though.
Music is easy, too, especially if you live in a town that has lots of live music or festivals. If not, you can buy used cds online, listen, and review. In fact, you could even hire a high-school kid to do this, but check their writing skills first.
Books are a little harder, since they take more time to review and cost more than cds and movie tickets. However, you can paraphrase what others have said if youre clever and dont violate copyright.
