Blending ads within WordPress software powered blog’s post or page boosts the ad revenue. Most of bloggers blend ads in their blog posts because most of visitors only focus on the content of the blog. That’s why bloggers blend their ad units within their blog posts. So, visitors find related ad content from any type of blog site. Obviously, the respective blog posts bring more ad revenue. Just like websites, WordPress self hosting bloggers can also display the ad units within blog post or page as shown in below screen shot.

The left hand side of the content shows content of the blog. Similarly, the right part of the post displays related advertisements for visitors. The combination of content and related advertisements give exact information to every Internet user. Now, you can also monetize your WordPress self hosting blog by displaying sponsored advertisements in either right side or left side of the blog post. Follow below procedure to blend ads within your blog post.

• Open Stylesheet of your blog’s WordPress theme
• Copy below piece of the code and place into your Stylesheet of WordPress theme

.adsense-right {
display:block;
float:right;
margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px;
}

• Open either Page or Post page of your WordPress theme.
• You will find a content code which is almost similar to below code.

<?php the_content(); ?>

• Paste your ad code in between below tag but place before content commend as stated below.

<div class=”adsense-right”>

Your Ad code is here

</div>

<?php the_content(); ?>

• Now, save your WordPress theme template. Your WordPress self hosting blog shows advertisements within your blog post.

In this way, you can also display advertisements in left side of the content by only changing float:left;

Are you planning to launch a forum site?

Good, All the best but you have to know one thing before going to launch your forum site.

Forum sites now rock the world with fresh content than blog sites. That is why every blogger interested to start a forum site. Some of the webmasters create a forum site in a new domain. Similarly, remaining website owners launch forum site in a sub-domain. Creating a forum site in a sub-domain is a great idea than launching a forum site in a new domain. In other words, your forum site as well as blog site become popular if you host your blog site and forum site in same domain because search engines quickly give PageRank and also increase the website traffic within few months.

Webmasters can launch forum sites as a sub-domain in two ways. For example, i am maintaining my blog site at http://www.techze.com/. So, i can launch my forum site either one of below sub-domains.

1. http://www.techze.com/forum
2. http://www.forum.techze.com/

Launching a forum site in first way is not a great idea because your forum site dominates your blog site. In other words, my blog site becomes down if i launch my forum site at http://www.techze.com/forum because search engines offer more traffic to your forum site than your blog site by considering your forum as best content site than your blog site. The main reason is your forum site creates more content than your blog site. So, your valuable posts may not reach more Internet users than your forum posts.

That’s why, you have to locate your forum site in second way i.e (http://www.forum.techze.com/). Search engines considers this domain as part of your domain but consider as different domain. However, your forum site represented in this way gets PageRank as well as more traffic. Practically, i have observed this problem. So, don’t create your forum in first way. However, you can create your forum in first way but you have to redirect to second type sub-domain with permanent redirect technique. In other words, both domains work but your forum site is located in second type sub-domain.

Are you planning to start a new website?

Good. Go ahead

Are you planning to redirect your old website to new website?

Stop, don’t move forward.

Redirecting old website to new website is a big mistake and most of the people do this common mistake. It may be 301 permanent redirect or anything but it is not recommendable. Redirecting old website to new website means you are only redirecting your visitors to old website to new website. It is fine but Search engines never move your old website traffic to new website.

Search engines simply exclude your pages from their search engine index due to this redirection. Your new pages definitely index in search engine results but your websites’ old pages are not replaced by the new pages. Obviously, your old website’s web pages disappeared from search results. Actually, you are removing your valuable pages from search engines with your hands. Some of these web pages may already in good position in search engine results.

Some of these valuable pages may already in PageRank consideration. However, we are removing PageRank of these valuable pages due to this redirection. In other words, your new website will get PageRank after six or one year but your previous web pages lose PageRank. You can use one trick to get PageRank for your new website by developing a link from old website. Search engines know your new website is valuable and give PageRank to new website quickly.

There is also one more important thing, our old website receives traffic from various ways just like previous days and sends part of the traffic to new website. Similarly, new website’s pages are quickly indexed in search results and also received more traffic. So, our old and new websites generate more website traffic in two ways. Obviously, your sites ad revenue will increase in two ways. You can redirect your old website to new website if you do not consider your old website as not valuable.

Some of publishers share their success stories with Google AdSense, Chitika, BidVertiser, AdBrite and etc. At that time, we feel very happy and consider their success as our success. They are the inspiration to become successful people. They are making flexible income every month but we are hardly getting few dollars every day. They are satisfying with site revenue but we are not satisfying with site revenue. These are common questions in every publisher’s heart. Publishers use different types of techniques but unable to get flexible revenue through any publisher program. Sometimes, some of us may also search for shortcuts and exact ways.

Is there any shortcut or exact way to boost site revenue?

My answer is yes. There is no shortcut but an exact way to get success with your website. Your monetization publisher program may be anything but the fundamental thing is visitors. If your website attracts visitors with good information, obviously your articles generate more revenue by bringing visitors in various ways. Similarly, your website pages are linked by fellow bloggers and they recommend their visitors to visit our websites. So, your website definitely gains visitors as well as backlinks from others websites.

However, most of bloggers are wasting their time to build backlinks from others websites by leaving comments. This is not a great idea and best way to get success with your website. First of all concentrate on your blog to satisfy your visitors with best information in your own style then only your website satisfies you with flexible income through your favorite publisher program. Remember one thing in your mind, successful people were also struggled for exact ways just like us but now they are the successful people. There is no doubt about it; one day we will become successful bloggers. All the best.

Feed Redirection of every Blogger blog creates errors in sitemap. Blogger integrated a feature for bloggers to redirect Blogger blogs RSS and ATOM feed to third party feed service with feed redirection. However most of the Blogger blog users use FeedBurner service to generate site feed. FeedBurner is now part of Google, Inc. Bloggers now can monetize FeedBurner feeds by displaying advertisements through Google AdSense for Feeds. So, feed redirection helps Blogger blog users to know subscribers details and to make money by monetizing feeds with advertisements.

However, feed redirection method creates errors in sitemap of Blogger blogs. Actually, Blogger blog users submit Rss and Atom feed as sitemap to webmaster services like Google Webmaster Tools, Yahoo! Site Explorer, bing Webmaster Center and etc. All these webmaster services reject Blogger blog Rss or Atom feed mainly due to feed redirection. In webmaster tools area, these three services show errors.  Here is the reason.

Let us consider below Rss or Atom feed as your blog sitemap.

Rss Feed Url : http://www.techze.blogspot.com/rss.xml

Atom Feed Url: http://www.techze.blogspot.com/atom.xml

Now this Rss or Atom feed redirected to third party feed service

Third Party Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/techze

Search engine spiders are confusing with this feed redirection and consider Blogger blog feed as invalid feed. Site traffic increment is must and should In order to increase the ad revenue of your blogger site. Feed redirection reduces the performance of blog in Google search engine due to errors. Similarly, Yahoo! and bing index error urls in search results. As per my personal experience, Feed redirection is not a recommendable but places a feedburner or third party feed button within your Blogger blog area.

Search engine spider technology is very helpful technology for website owners  and bloggers to index their most recent published articles in search engines. There is only one best way to maintain connection with search engines. It is nothing but a Sitemap. Sitemap is just like a map to show route of your website to search engine spiders or bots. Google introduced Sitemap technology to help webmasters to index their latest pages in Google search engines within few minutes. I have already shared how my website maintains connection with search engines in one of my previous articles. Now, i am going to share the exact way to create Google search engine friendly XML sitemap.

Sitemaps.Org developed this XML sitemap technology. The basic XML sitemap looks likes as shown in below format.

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<urlset xmlns=”http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9″>

<url>
<loc>http://www.Your-Domain.com/</loc>
<lastmod>Year-Month-Day</lastmod>
<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>

</urlset>

The code contains five basic elements like url, loc, lastmod, changefreq and priority. These five basic elements tells search engine spiders about your website completely. Now, i will explain how to build XML Google sitemap by showing an example.

• Open a WordPad or NotePad and copy above code and then paste in your document.

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<urlset xmlns=”http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9″>
<url>
<loc>http://www.techze.com/</loc>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
<priority>1.0</priority>
</url>
<url>
<loc>http://www.techze.com/does-your-website-maintain-connection-with-google-search-engine/</loc>
<lastmod>2009-09-04</lastmod>
<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
</urlset>

• In this way, you have to add all your web pages in your document. Remember one point here. You have to set prority 1.0 and 0.8 values for main domain and web page respectively. Similarly, you have to set changefreq daily and monthly for main domain and web page respectively.
• Now save your document in your desktop area by giving name as sitemap.xml
• Upload this sitemap.xml file to your root directory through File Transfer Protocol (FTP) software.
• Every time you have to update your sitemap file by adding more web pages of your website.

Remember one more point here. At this time, Google allows members to index 50,000 urls per sitemap and the size of the sitemap should not exceed 10 MB in size. Search engine spiders will crawl your website quickly when you update your sitemap.

Are you frustrating with blogging?

Blogging is a great profession on this planet because we are the boss for this kind of prestigious profession but most of the people think one thing why we are failing in blogging. Few days ago, i was also asked myself why i am failing in blogging just like you. The main problem is ours. My inner heart tells the actual reasons and changed my professional style.

• Planning

Planning is very important for everything. First of all i would like to ask you one question.

How many times do you think about the way of planning?

I appreciate you if you plan perfectly. I think most of people are failed to plan their schedule in blogging. I tell an example. One person posts more than 10 posts one day and the same person posts only 2 posts next day. Similarly, the respective person posts nothing next day and then next day the same person posts six posts. This type of posting is not called as blogging. In other words, a person who wants to get success in blogging must maintain unique posting in order to get traffic from search engines especially Google. Google never send best traffic to your website if you maintain your website improperly. So, you have to decide how many posts i can post regularly. Similarly, prepare tomorrow’s information today. This will helpful to your motivation.

• Punctuality

Punctuality plays very important role. Set an appropriate time to post your informative articles in your website regularly.

• Patience

You can not get success in blogging in single day. So, you have to continue your work forever.

• Learn Lessons from failure

Try again whenever you fail. Nothing is impossible to human. Victory will marry you soon. Every time, we have to correct ourselves because every person makes mistakes. However, we have to learn something from mistakes but don’t blame yourself.

• Believe yourself not others

Most people do not have awareness about this profession. Some of our closet friends or family members discourage us by telling blogging as nonsence. At that time, we consider they are correct. Your inner heart tells the story. So, believe yourself not anyone. This is your’s profession.

How many times do you think about this question?

A person who wants to get success with website must think about this question. I don’t want to talk about remaining search engines but i am talking about Google Search engine because more than 90% search engine traffic of any website comes from Google. Google Search Engine traffic increment is the milestone to make your website as one of the greatest websites in Internet. Initially, your website may not get much traffic. So, new website owners have to depend on search engine traffic especially Google Search engine traffic. Later, your site can easily get visitors through feed subscribers and referral sites.

How many times do you check your website performance in Google?

I appreciate you if you are regularly check your website performance in Google. Every website owner has to check website performance in Google before going to sleep. You may think one point here why i am telling like this. Google quickly crawl your website within few minutes and should index in their list of pages. If your newly published post is appeared in Google within few minutes then you are the best website owner and definitely become greatest professional blogger on this planet.

Look at above screen shot, today i have posted your reading article which is quickly indexed in Google search index with few minutes. I have taken this screen shot after 2 hours. You can also check the date of this article in above search result.

Now, you have to think whether your website is friendly with Google search engine bots or not. You can not get success in this competitive Internet world if your website is not maintaining frienship with Google search engine spiders. As per my knowledge, your website does not have a Sitemap. You have to build a Google friendly sitemap then only your most recent published articles quickly appear in search results and reach Internet users quickly.

Backlink is nothing but a hyperlink from a website to a particular website. Backlinks play very important role in site’s performance increment. Especially high traffic and PageRank websites’ backlinks suddenly boost your website performance. That is why some of new website owners purchase quality backlinks through link selling services. It is not a great idea. At this same time, we should not pay attention building backlinks from different websites because our valuable time is wasted. We can write a quality information article instead of this time.

Look at above screen shot, placing a social bookmarking button at the top or bottom of your article encourages your site visitors to add your website’s page to popular and high traffic social bookmarking services like Digg, Del.icio.us, My Web, Facebook, MySpace and more. If you place more social bookmarking links, these social bookmarking links indirectly indicate your site visitors to add at least one of these bookmarking services. We may not give guarantee, means these social bookmarking sites may or may not send traffic to your website. However, these social bookmarking sites give priority to your site by giving a quality backlink from their service.

Search engines especially Google considers all your sites backlinks in PageRank calculation. Obviously, your website traffic is also increased by search engines rapidly. We have enough social bookmarking services. Similarly, we have best social bookmarking buttons providing services available. As per my knowledge, AddThis and ShareThis are best social bookmarking buttons proving services. Don’t forget to place a book marking button at top of the article or bottom of the content in your website to make your website popular in Internet.

I am very happy this month because Chitika, Inc issued my first payment through PayPal. Everybody feels happy when we achieve something. Techze finally tested Chitika publisher program and i am satisfied with their excellent site Monetization technology personally. Chitika became one of my favorite site Monetization services and also my favorite recommendable site Monetization services. Now, i am proudly recommending this publisher program to every Internet user who wants to earn money online.

Chitika Publisher Program is neither Contextual nor Non-contextual publisher program. They use entirely different and special technique to protect their advertisers’ investment and to display almost content related advertisements with good click rate. Chitika developed their ad technology by considering search engine keywords. In other words, Chitika displays keyword related informative advertisements in your website when an Internet user visits your website page with a keyword through search engines like Google, Yahoo!, Ask, AOL and almost all search engines.

This is my Chitika’s payment statement which is given by the PayPal.

I think you understood the concept of their technology. I am monetizing my website with Chitika because i like their ad click rate. So, everybody can generate good ad revenue just like me. Minimum payment through PayPal is $10.00 USD. Last month, i have crossed my payment level by earning $19.38 USD and finally received my payment on September 1, 2009 after 30 days payment holding. Just like all publisher programs, Chtika validates your earnings in order to protect sponsores’ investment by holding payment for 30 days. Don’t forget to keep one point in your mind, Chitika closes your account if you generate fraud clicks to reach minimum payment. Monetize your website and earn flexible income.
