Good Webdesign Tips

2011-12-04T08:53:00.000-08:00

When users try to open a web page, they expect it to appear within a certain time frame. They expect all the components of the page to appear, fairly around the same time. Page components appearing at different speeds can annoy the users. So a website designer should remember that the pages should download quickly. Cluttering a web page with too much of graphics makes it heavier, thus increasing its loading time. One of the basic factors that make a web design user-friendly is the downloading time of each page.

Web Designing

Make sure that the content presented by the web pages is in a human-readable format. See that the pages, or at least the home page fits into a form of 640x480 pixels. The background colors should not interrupt with the colors of the text. The text should be of a suitable size. Not more that about 2-3 fonts and not more that 3-4 colors should be used for a website. The colors red and blue as also the colors yellow and blue should not be used together. Some of the accepted color schemes are red, yellow and white or blue and white. A careful use of templates is a good option for website design.

The layout of the web pages and the consistency in their design are the major concerns for a website design. Technologies such as the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can be used for maintaining a uniform layout throughout the website.

Do not clutter the web pages with too many links. Underline the links and preferably present them in a different color so that links can be distinguished from the page content. See that the external links from the website open in a new window.

Navigation between the different pages of a website is another vital constituent of web design. Organize the links such that the website users find it easy to find what they want. Make the navigation easy to understand for the users. Avoid excessive cascading of links on the web pages. The implementation of ‘Back’ and Next’ functions is recommended for a website design. Place the ‘Next’ button to the bottom right while the ‘Back’ button can be placed at the top left corner of the page.

To make sure that your web site users can easily find what they are looking for, it is extremely important for you to provide them with a site map. It is necessary for every website to provide its users with a search facility.

It is important for the web designer to consider the fact that different users use different browsers. Due to this factor, browser compatibility becomes immensely important in website design. Design pages that can look good and work well in all browsers.

Bad SEO practices

2011-12-04T07:06:00.000-08:00

Search engine optimization (SEO) is an art rather than a technique. If you overdo this then you might be harming your sites. Here we give you some of the bad SEO practices that you must avoid:

SEO Tips

Invisible texts: Invisible keywords must not be added on your website. Keywords are the important words that are responsible for bringing in the traffic on your website. Thus you must make a point to highlight them by using different font color and style. They must be placed at various points on the page. Using hidden keywords or using malicious JavaScript that would embed them on your page is illegal and your site can be black listed by various search engines. They tend to create a false density of keywords around the webpage. Many malicious CSS tweaks are also present that uses the hidden elements to improve the keyword density. Keyword stuffing is another bad practice that you must avoid.

Illegal backlinks: With the growing urge amongst the bloggers to improve the PageRank of their blogs, they need backlinks from the different blogs. They engage in the illegal activity of link buying or link exchange, were they exchange their links in lieu of some money. There are a number of companies that deal in such activities but it is not advised to buy purchase links in order to boost up the ranking. The PR might improve in the start but they will fall later on. Some of the bloggers engage in the act of automatically generating 1000’s of backlink using automated software. These all factors will bring your site SEO down. Placing the links of other website on your webpages is also not recommended and is considered as link farm by Google and other popular search engines. Many consider directory and comments as the best ways to get the links back to your sites but resubmitting them without any reason is considered suspicious and you might not get the links. Always make sure that your site has proper links that point to the relevant parts of the website.

Cloaking: Cloaking is another malicious practice that is used to improve the ranking. Cloaking is the technique where we present different faces of a website to the user rather than the search engine spiders. This trick might work in some cases but it fails in almost all the cases.

Spelling errors: Also keep a check on the spelling in the posts and other areas of your website. The spelling will determine the proper keywords that will help the search engine to index your site but if they are not correct then the search engines will ignore your website altogether. Always try to avoid the above bad techniques.

How to get your video noticed on youtube?

2011-12-04T06:27:00.000-08:00

Wanna be an internet star? Knowing a few tricks will put you on the most-viewed list in no time.

A great idea
Video and computer equipment
Persistence

The power of youtube

Step 1: Research:

Click the “Videos” tab on YouTube to see what the most-viewed videos of the moment are—and then make a video response to one. Parodies of currently popular internet videos often “piggyback” on the fame of the original and end up becoming famous themselves.

Step 2: Find your audience:

Aim for a large but specific group, like video game fanatics, or people who hate Carlos Mencia. Although throwing out a wide net seems more logical, a targeted audience is actually more likely to latch on and spread the word.

Step 3: Use your best idea:

It seems obvious, but use the best idea you have. It’s probably the one that makes you and your friends laugh the most or has you using the word “awesome” repeatedly.Violence really hurts, and should never be used for base, commercial motives. So don’t do it.

Step 4: Make the video shine:

Shoot for the highest production value you can afford. Videos that are severely underlit or have blown out audio are pretty unwatchable, and unlikely candidates for internet fame.

Step 5: Upload wisely:

Before you output, do a Google search for “Exporting for YouTube.” Heavily pixelated, out-of-sync video clips rarely make the rounds in office emails.

Step 6: Attract an audience:

One of the keys to getting your video seen is having a title, tags, and a thumbnail that will attract your audience. YouTube offers you a choice of 3 different thumbnails—whichever images are found a 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 of the way through your video. Savvy users find a frame they like during editing and make sure it occurs at one of those points. The other key factor in attracting an audience? Keep your video short and sweet. Two minutes or less is ideal.

Step 7: Reach out:

Remember the specific interest group you targeted? Now that you’re finished, consider emailing your video’s link to websites relevant to that group. Sometimes all it takes is a single blogger to get the ball quickly rolling.

Step 8: Join the YouTube Community:

Don’t just upload your video and forget it; become part of the community. Comment on other videos, respond to comments on your own video, maybe even stir up a little controversy.

Step 9: Repeat:

Repeat the process. Each time one of your videos makes even a small dent, you gain subscribers, and a large subscriber base is the number one reason a video attracts a large viewership. According to its community guidelines, YouTube does not allow videos that show “graphic or gratuitous violence,” or “someone getting hurt, attacked, or humiliated.”

Tips to earn more through adsense

2011-12-04T04:44:00.000-08:00

Adsense report

1. Before starting any sites that you are planning to add Adsense, please make sure to familiarize yourself first with its Terms and Conditions. This is very important.

Here are the most important notes from the TOC:

Don't ever click your own ads
Don't ever trick your visitors to click your ads using words or images (like an image of arrow pointing to your ads)
Adults, hacking, warez sites are strictly prohibited

2. Use individual channels to each ad, to track which ads receives most clicks.

3. Blend your ads on your site. People doesn't visit your site for the ads, they went there for the content. If your ads looked like the usual ads, they would move on.

3.1 Ads Color

This one is very important. If you just left it on its default, it's like the ads are screaming, "I’m an ads! I'm an ads!", and most visitors would ignore it.

General tips on Ads Color:

(These are general tips and not absolute, tweak yours to maximize your Adsense CTR)

- Ads title must be same color with your site's links (or blue, try it both ways)

- Set border color to site's background to hide it

- Set ads background color to site's background to blend it in

- Ads description and url must be same color with your site's content

3.2 Ads Placement

As a general rule, you need to place your ads above the fold to maximize exposure. Above the fold means the very top part of your page as seen by your visitors without using the scrollbars.

General tips on Ads Placement:

(These are general tips and not absolute, tweak yours to maximize your Adsense CTR)

Leaderboard (728x90)

- Best positioned at the very top, as it is similar to headers.

- If you have forum, between forum entries.

Banners (468x60)

- Most common ads picked by beginners, and according to my observation this size produced the lowest CTR.

- This ad is too common that people are already conditioned that this is an ad, avoid it if you can.

- Best positioned if you have a sidebar on your site, go to Squidoo and open one article as an example.

Half-Banners (234x60)

- I suggest on the middle of the page, end of articles or bottom of blog entries.

Rectangular Ads, Bbuttons (125 x 125)

- You can slot this anywhere you think it can fill the space, usually placed on Sidebars.

Small rectangles (180 x 150) ->Best Choice

Medium rectangles (300 x 250) -> second best

Large rectangles (336 x 280) -> In my opinion is the best (highest CTR but website design will look poor)

- Most common and effective placement is on the beginning of articles. These are usually wrap around the text.

Square Ads (250 x 250 and 200 x 200):

- Same with rectangles above. Not very common though.

Vertical Ads: Skyscraper (120 x 600), wide skyscraper (160 x 600) and vertical banner (120 x 240).

- These vertical ads are clearly useful on your sites Sidebar.

That's it for ads placement, if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

4. Choose text ads over image ads if you can. It is really hard to blend image ads since it really looks like an ads, people avoid them.

5. To ensure you can get relevant ads, enclose the articles or paragraphs, which contain your keywords using Section Targeting tags:

Code:

Section text.

In rare case, you want Google to ignore parts of your site, use these tags:

Code:

Section text.

5. Don't stuff your site with keywords. It is enough to have ONE tag cloud on each page.

6. If you want to preview your ads, you can do that on your Adsense page or use this preview tool: http://googleadspreview.blogspot.com/

7. Since Google collects visitor's data to serve more relevant ads. You need to add a privacy policy on your Adsense sites.

You need to add these lines:
Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on your site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

Or, you can create a free privacy policy page using http://www.freeprivacypolicy.com and add a checkbox on Google Adsense.

8. Test, test and keep on testing. The only way to find what is working is testing colors and placements. Your site is unique and only you can determine what is the best.

How to make money from your blog?

2011-12-04T04:17:00.000-08:00

You’ve been blogging your fingers off for a few years now, and despite the ego rush of watching your hits soar, you’re wondering what’s the point—or, rather, how do I make some cold hard cash from this thing?

You Will Need,
1.A blog
2.Dedication
3.A good PageRank

Earn money from your blog

Step 1: Focus your blog: Focus your blog. Blogs that make money are blogs with a specific market and a good PageRank. Be passionate about your subject and generate as much traffic as you can. If you’re obsessed, others will be as well.

Don’t expect to get rich from your blog. At least not right away. Some popular blogs report more than $40,000 dollars a month in earnings—but unless you’ve got millions of visitors already, don’t expect to quit your day job anytime soon.

Step 2: Sell advertising: Selling advertising is the top moneymaking method with a blog. AdSense, a service from Google, will place relevant ads from advertisers on your blog. If your reader clicks on the link, you get paid. Exactly how much depends on your traffic.

The upside to this method is that it’s very easy; the downside is that you don’t choose who advertises or what you get paid.

Step 3: Choose the ads yourself: Some ad-providers, like blogads.com, help you choose the advertiser’s you want and give you the right to set the price.

The upside to this method is that you’re in control; the downside is if you set the prices too high or are too picky about advertisers, you won’t make any money.

Step 4: Write a review: Get paid to write a product review that relates to your blog’s topic. Sites like payperpost.com will match you with a product. Reviews are usually short and don’t have to be positive, but you will have to disclose you’re getting paid.

Stay credible—be honest, and don’t post too many paid reviews. If you look like a marketing shill, you’ll lose readers—and money.

Step 5: Sell merchandise: Sell merchandise. Suppose your blog has a really cool logo or you’ve developed some catchphrase that has caught on—put it on a t-shirt or coffee cup. A bunch of sites will do this for you, including cafepress.com. They earn the base price, and you earn the mark up.

Step 6: Get an affiliate program: Get an affiliate program. Probably the most popular of these is amazon.com. This works by having a specific product advertised on your blog, and if readers follow your link and buy it, you get a percentage of the sale.

Affiliate programs are the better routes for newer blogs to make money, since it won’t be so crucial to have thousands upon thousands of clicks before you get a check.

Step 7: Make money indirectly: Make money indirectly from your blog. Many bloggers find they can earn money from their blog because it steers customers to a service they provide or to a product they’re selling. Think of it as an ad for you!

Tips to increase traffic of your blog

2011-12-04T03:36:00.000-08:00

Hi GUYS……

Increasing traffic on the blog is the most common problem of the bloggers, I heard a lot about this problem , every one wants traffic in his site and want too be popular as soon as possible in the world of Internet.

People want so much traffic and views in the beginning of there carrier in blogging but doing so much most is not going to help you in this matter , People use to do hard work to get traffic and views but because of the lake of experience they are unable to get easily.

If you are also the victim of this problem you are at right place to get rid off this problem, Here i will tell you the four most easiest steps to get traffic on your blog and sites.

Increase your webtraffic

First Step: Killer Articles (1 hour per day)

Spend one hour brainstorming, researching and writing killer articles (also called linkbaits, pillar articles and so on).

Notice that your goal is to release one killer article every week. If that is not possible aim for one every 15 days. So the one hour that you will spend every day will be dedicated to the same piece. In other words, expect killers articles to take from 5 up to 10 hours of work.

If you are not familiar with the term, a killer article is nothing more than a long and structured article that has the goal of delivering a huge amount of value to potential visitors. If you have a web design blog, for example, you could write an article with “100 Free Resources for Designers”. Here are some ideas for killer articles:

Create a giant list of resources,
Write a detailed tutorial teaching people how to do something,
Find a solution for a common problem in your niche and write about it, or
Write a deep analysis on a topic where people have only talked superficially

When visitors come across your killer article, you want them to have the following reaction: “Holy crap! This is awesome. I better bookmark it. Heck, I better even mention this on my site and on my Twitter account, to let my readers and friends know about it.”

Second Step: Networking (30 minutes per day)

Networking is essential, especially when you are just getting started. The 30 minutes that you will dedicate to it every day could be split among:

Commenting on other blogs in your niche,
Linking to the posts of bloggers in your niche, and
Interacting with the bloggers in your niche via email, IM or Twitter.

Remember that your goal is to build genuine relationships, so don’t approach people just because you think they can help to promote your blog. Approach them because you respect their work and because you think the two of you could grow together.

Third Step: Promotion (30 minutes per day)

The first activity here is the promotion of your killer articles. Whenever you publish one of them, you should push it in any way you can. Examples include:

letting the people in your network know about it (don’t beg for a link though),
letting bloggers and webmasters in relevant niches know about it,
getting some friends to submit the article to social bookmarking sites,
getting some friends to Twitter the article, and
posting about the article in online forums and/or newsgroups.

If there is time left, spend it with search engine optimization, social media marketing and activities to promote your blog as whole. Those can range from keyword research to promoting your blog on Facebook and guest blogging.

Fourth Step: Normal Posts (30 minutes per day)

Just like a man does not live by bread alone, a blog does not live by killer articles alone. Normal posts are the ones that you will publish routinely in your blog, between the killer articles. For example, you could publish a killer article every Monday and normal posts from Tuesday through Friday. Here are some ideas for normal posts:

A post linking to an article on another blog and containing your opinion
A post informing your readers about a news in your niche
A post asking a question to your readers and aiming to initiate a discussion
A post highlighting a new resource or trick that you discovered and that would be useful to your readers

While killers articles are essential to promote your blog and bring new readers aboard, normal posts are the ones that will create diversity in your content and keep your readers engaged.

Best Blogging Tips

2011-12-04T03:11:00.000-08:00

Before we go to the blogging tips for beginners, let us try to understand what exactly is meant by blogging and also about its purposes. A blog is a personalized space on the Internet started by an individual for his own personal or professional needs and is read by other people. Many people start their blog to express their personal thoughts, views, opinions, etc. about different matters by publishing poems, stories, articles, etc. Though blogging was introduced with this purpose, soon they were used for business purposes also. Nowadays, people have even started blogging for money making purposes. As blogging has so many benefits, it is important for you to know certain blogging tips and tricks if you are thinking of creating a blog for yourself.

Blogging tips

Best Blogging Tips for Beginners

Have a Purpose: This is one of the most important blogging tips that beginners should know. Most people fail to create a successful blog because they do not have a definite goal (like me) for starting a blog. Hence, once you have decided to start a blog, sit down and decide why you want to start it. The reason can be just to share some ideas and thoughts, to promote your business, sell certain products, etc. Whatever the reason is, once you have decided the purpose, decide on what you want to gain or where you want to see your blog after a few months, a year or so. This is crucial because your next steps will depend on the planning you have done during this stage.

Target Your Audience: The purpose of your blog will decide the type of audience that you are targeting. For instance, if you are setting a blog on dating, your target audience will include teenagers as well as adults. This will also influence the type of design you choose for your blog. If the topic of your blog is about dating and relationships, the design can be something colorful and lively. On the other hand, if your blog is for business purposes, it should have a professional look.

Have Consistency: Though it is good to try new and innovative things in your blog, do not do something that totally changes its image. For instance, if your blog is about traveling, most likely your readers will be those who love traveling. However, if you suddenly use it for promoting some kind of product, it may cause confusion to your readers. Therefore, try your best to maintain the consistency of your blog.

Update Regularly: If you want your readers to visit your blog regularly and gain popularity, one of the very important things is to update your blog regularly. Publish new articles and write ups after every few days to keep your readers interested and informed. However, publishing meaningless posts just for the sake of it should be avoided because this may take the readers away from your blog. It is important to write about things that you know about and avoid publishing articles just because it is something that is being written about in most of the blogs.

Attract Audience: One way to attract readers to your blog is to encourage them to leave comments of what they feel about your blog or about your article. You can also ask them to post questions, give their opinions, etc. on what you have written. This not only leads to two way interaction between you and the reader, but also makes them realize that you really appreciate their participation. This is extremely crucial for you to gain a loyal readership for your blog.

Market your Blog: Just creating a blog, designing it well and publishing quality articles on it will not attract readers to it. You have to take some efforts to actually market your blog for people to visit it. You can do this through social networking sites, like, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. Another way of doing this is by commenting on other like-minded bloggers and linking your blog on it if you have to say something similar.
