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

July 18th, 2007

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?

July 16th, 2007

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.

July 11th, 2007

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.
