2 Simple tips to increase serps!

Serps play a vital role in the success of most sites. This being the better serps you have, the more traffic you can expect though search engines. I mean who would not want to be the first result for the search term “porn” or “free”. Anyway, I’m going to talk about 2 methods that usually don’t get paid much attention, that should.

  1. Don’t buy a domain unless you must. Google has “delay” for new domains, your best of to use your existing domain or if at all possible. If you’re redesigning or starting from scratch and you have to use a brand-new domain for some reason, you can expect to the good part of a year before your site will show up in Google for any keyword phrases that are relevant to you.

  1. Program your site to be index friendly. The search engines can’t fill out forms, can’t search your site, can’t read JavaScript links and menus and navi bars, and can’t index graphics. I’m not trying to say you must have only simple html on your site. You can have a lot, but you do need to provide alternate means of browsing your site as it is beneficial. Make sure you have HTML links in the main navigation on every page.

Spice up your 404 page

Bloggers spend too much time customizing and trying to increase their CTR (click though rate) and make all their pages except for the good old 404 error page. It is essential that you spend time customizing your 404 page with helpful info, not just an Adsense unit. Some things you might want to put on your 404 page are, Recent posts, most helpful posts, link the homepage and a friendly sentence. Or you can be silly like me and have your 404 page a cat that will punch you if you don’t get the url right on the next attempt.

To customize your 404 page > login you wp-admin > click on presentation > theme editor > 404 template

How a little exposure goes a long, long way

Darren from Problogger was going on a business trip (so he says, I bet he just got drunk and had a party) so he asked his readers to email him some tips and tutorials. So that he can put a timestamp on them and they will automatically post when he’s at a party somewhere. This is not good just for Darren, but for the people that submited there tips and get good exposure. In my case my site had Pagerank 4 Prediction days before my article was put on Problogger. ( Predicted pagerank 4 (3.8) and 419 backlinks.

After gaining that exposure my Predicted Pagerank has gone to 5(4.9) with 1240 backlinks.

This is the power of exposure. I guess you could say exposure is a type of marketing.

Why Google should invent a new online currency similar to “Paypal”

Paypal was first created for “securing” payments on Ebay. But quickly became widely used by business people, mum’s and dad’s. Lots of teenagers even have Paypal accounts. You would expect Paypal to be abused some what, due to the amount of people that use it. But Paypal has become to “stuck-up” in trying to give the buyer too much “protection”. Anyone who knows a bit about Paypal would know that you can buy games and stuff, then once you receive them, do a “claim” (a Paypal feature) saying you did not infarct receive the goods. The same applies with domains. Paypal also has no problem limiting accounts and making you verify them, buy adding Card details, verifying location. Paypal can easily be hacked too. Scam emails are big. But another one is on line stores get hacked and your Credit card details get hacked into. Then the person uses the details to make a fake Paypal account with your details and go on a spending field day. Now I bet you’re wondering why I think Google should introduce a on line currency. Well I’ve got some reasons why I think they should.

Google has the resources to get a high serp, pagerank, traffic site. I mean, there’s no chance any small company could run a huge on line currency.

Has the unlimited check book. What an advantage, with shares at 500 US, it’s got a big capital.

Ethics, every time I use Gmail, Adsense or any Google owned product I usually find it’s useful and if you run into errors the support team is willing to listen.

So what’s your opinion?

How to cash in with Playstation 3

Playstation 3 is only available in limited countries Japan and the US are the 2 main ones. Because of such a limited supply people in Britain and Australia are willing to pay lots and lots and lots. So if you can get your hands on a Playstation 3 for under 500 dollars. I’d personally buy it then wack it on Ebay and make a tidy profit.

You simply download the plugin put in your details and your earnings will appear on the bottom right hand of your Firefox browser. Here’s what some people have said

“Many thanks for making this extremely useful extension, specially because now Firefox 2.0 has trouble remembering adsense login info, it doesn’t even offer to remember it. Now with this amazingly simple extension, I’m logged in automatically, all the time!”

” I use this all of the time, couldn’t live without it.”
