How to increase your google adsense earnings?
Blogging for money is not my cup of tea, but that doesn’t mean I hate the idea of making money online, who does? Lately, I’ve noticed a large number of people decided to blog not because they enjoyed blogging but wanted to make a living out of it, and that really annoys me. Reminds me of a good friend of mine, when the blogging world was in its infant years, I proposed the idea of co-blogging, with no intention of making anything out of it, but he rejected my idea, reason is because it is a waste of time.
Fast forward 2 years, he came talking to me and wanted to know how blog works and told me he bought a book - ‘Google Adsense for dummies‘, and just like yesteryear, I politely rejected his proposal on the ‘idea’ of co-blogging with him. His sudden passion in blogging was due to the fact that he overheard I’m making a living out of it.
Anyway, GeckoandFly was meant to be a collaboration between my friends (non-tech savvy people) by it did not materialized, glad that it didn’t worked out, if it does than my earnings would be equally divided among them. Three years of blogging and numerous trial and errors, I conclude that the art of monetizing your blog comes in many forms, depending on the blogging platform, keywords, language and many more, I would like to take the opportunity to highlight some of the key issues or shall I say some really simple technique that all newbie should know.
1. Insert Ads into your post.
This is by far the easier way to increase your CTR, but be cautious that just like a sword, it cuts both ways because it can be potentially annoying to your readers knowing that you are bombarding them with advertisement. Some of my favorite formats are the 468 x 60px, 300 x 300px, and 125 x 125px. Read AdesBlog.
2. Filter unwanted or low paying ads
Rumors has it that the author of AdsBlacklist own numerous spammy websites and the only for his splog to appear in adsense is by blocking out the competitions, thus born AdsBlacklist, basically he provide a list of his competitor’s splog to be filtered by the publisher. Well, it does works to a certain extend.
3. Ping your blog, submit to all the search engines.
Based on my 3 years of experience, pinging you blog and submit it to every known search engine does not guarantee traffic, and in most cases you get spammed in returned.
Submit to Google
Submit to Yahoo
Submit to MSN
Submit to Baidu (China’s biggest search engine)
Ping Moreover - http://api.moreover.com/ping?u=http://www.YOUR-DOMAIN.com/sitemap.xml
Ping MSN - http://webmaster.live.com/ping.aspx?siteMap=http://www.YOUR-DOMAIN.com
Ping ASK - http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http%3A//www.YOUR-DOMAIN.com/sitemap.xml
Ping Google - http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ping?sitemap=http://www.YOUR-NAME.com/sitemap.gz
Ping Yahoo - http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/updateNotification?appid=Yahoo&url=http://www.YOUR-DOMAIN.com/sitemap.xml
4. Sitemaps and SEO
Submit your sitemap.xml manually to Google, MSN, and Yahoo, it is a great way to monitor the keywords and your ranking in Google and Yahoo, highly recommended. The following table lists the Sitemap submission URLs for several major search engines:
Google Webmaster Central
Yahoo Site Explorer
MSN Webmaster Tools
If you are using Wordpress, then you should install these plugins:
All in One SEO - It works, based on both my blogs’ traffic, I noticed a 10 - 15% increase in term of pageviews.
Google XML Sitemaps - Will generate a sitemap.xml automatically whenever you update your post and comments, it pings all the three major search engine as well. A highly recommended plugin.
I’m not a SEO expert, neither am I a rich millionaire with tons of money lying around on the carpet. Just an ordinary kid making some spare cash for my college education. Whatever I wrote here are pretty basic in term of monetizing your blog, Google for more.
5. Drop Comments
By dropping your comments with a link back to other blogs, you’re building a social presence in the blog sphere, make it a habit, I would say at least 3 comments for each for your write.
p.s. If your new to the world of blogging, do read ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income, it is very informative for beginners.

How to Access YouTube If It Is Blocked or Filtered
After toying around with my router for a few weeks, I’ve discovered various ways of accessing youtube or any other websites using different techniques such as IP address and proxy surfing. These are simple techniques that do not require the help of a computer nerd.
The IP Address technique - little knowledge is needed, all you need to do is key in the IP address of youtube server, and you’re in, this technique works if the network administrator doesn’t block the ip address of the server. Usually the network administrator filters website based on the URL address and not the IP address.
The other technique is proxy surfing - embedproxies.com is the only proxy site that doesn’t disable javascript, thus allowing you to watch videos from youtube, for websites that doesn’t utilize javascript such as youtube, any other proxy sites are good enough.
Please use these methods at your own risk, be advised that, most network administrator monitor the web traffic and your chances of getting caught for bypassing their filters are literally quite high.

Broadband Bandwidth Management, Distribute Internet Connection Equally
One of the many problems when it comes to sharing broadband connection is the distribution of bandwidth, I’m having a tough time tweaking my wireless router settings, and things are made worst when the internet is shared between 8 people in the house.
I’ve tried searching for a solution and ways to distribute the broadband bandwidth and finally found out that the only way to distribute the broadband bandwidth equally among everyone is non other than the use of small-office broadband router, it’s the hardware that makes the difference. A good wireless router has the ability to set up a Virtual Private Networking with user ID and password for each individual, each individual can be allocated a certain amount of bandwidth, and a good router has the ability to block all bittorrent ports.
When it comes to choosing the right modem, choose those that comes with VPN (Virtual Private Networking), it is worth the investment and almost everything is on auto-pilot mode, this would prevent bandwidth hogs from loading your connection. Here are some really good VPN wireles routers:
Distributing and sharing broadband internet connection has never been so easy, the best part is these routers has the ability to assign each person a login ID and password, allowing you to keep track on their surfing habits. Big brother is watching you.
If Linksys and D-link is way too expensive, try DrayTek Vigor 2800VG, its the cheapest and yet pack with lots of features that can never be found in D-link or Linksys router. Try the Live Web Admin Interface demo, you’ll be amazed.
