Before I tell you a fact that will have you thinking, let me tell you some background information.
It is not good enough just being listed in Google. You have to try and get listed in Bing, Yahoo and minor search engines or directories used by people across the globe to make good money.
Saying that, it is very difficult to get listed high with Bing and Yahoo as they use different ways of selecting what is listed with them and where. Unlike Google which lists according to links, visit and the relevance of particular article (page) on the web.
Google is said to search for the keywords used by the person doing the search in your article. Depending on how many times it appears, it is then given a rating and it is that which determines where your page is listed.
Also in order for you to make anything, your visitor has to be on your page for a minimum of 30 seconds. It is only then you may make something either from PPC or CPC. Don't ask me how and why, but apparently this is what they do to make sure it is not people visting to click ads (people and sites taking part in exchanging clicks).
We all know Google monitors very carefully the people who click on their ads, the impressions that appear. Not only that, advertisers using Google to advertise are also able to monitor people who are clicking on their ads. They can actually prevent their ads appearing on a particular site/page and can even report sites or articles to Google if they suspect deliberate clicks. This can actually reduce your income. I am not saying it will, but a possibility. Let us all hope it doesn't. As long as we have new visitors, it will actually increase our income.
So what does this mean? Well you may have now figured out what I am trying to say, but for those who haven't here it goes:
Positive
- Friends from the blog sites community can help increase the number of visitors by visiting our articles, this is true.
- It will help us get better ratings with search engines and get listed higher
- Comments left may help unique and new visitors to read and contribute
- Repeat visitors are picked up by Google and other Affiliate companies, so you may not get paid for cpc or ppc every-time for the same visitor
- Minimum of 30 seconds stay on any given page is required for it to be taken into account as a visit or for any chance to earn something. By saying visit and 30 seconds stay I mean something that will actually be beneficial. All visits are counted.
- Repeat clicks by the same person can get you banned for life, although they do know that sites have genuine repeat visitors and they may click on ads for genuine reasons.
I have also found some sites dedicated to finding out how to get listed high up in search engines. Not the sites that claim to be able to help you get listed high by charging you. But sites that have forums to share experiences and I suspect some may even be ex Google employees participating. Good for us.
My advice is to keep on trying to get unique visitors to your articles or site to help you grow your income.
A way to do that is to leave comments and visit blog sites outside of Blogger. Some blog sites allow you to leave your comment along with your name and your website address just like Blogger.
However, some sites also allow the blogger to accept or decline your comment. So try and avoid leaving your site name in the actual comment, as it may get your comment rejected. If your comment appears on that persons article, then people will be able to visit your site by clicking on your name. So make sure to leave an interesting comment. This will have visitors wanting to see who you are and may get them to click on your name. Which we know will bring them to your website.
I find leaving a few dots at the end of your comments leave the impression of your comment being longer. If your comment is an interesting one, then visitors will think the comment is longer and press on your name to see the rest of the comment. Which obviously will only bring them to your site.
In short and bullet points things to do to help each other.
- Do read articles and leave good comments, preferably a couple of sentence. Not will it only help your friend but you too as this will have people wanting to make friends with you and see some of your blogs.
- Try and stay on the page for at least 30 seconds. You don't actually have to be viewing it. As long as it is open in your browser.
- Visit other blog sites where you can leave a comment along with your URL. Don't waste your time with the ones that don't allow you to leave your URL. By all means, you can leave your URL in the comment section of those sites if it relevant to the article. Or by simply requesting the author to visit your page or site and give their opinion. This sometimes make the other person feel good, because you are saying that they are intelligent indirectly.
- When leaving your URL, try and leave it in places where the site or article is similar to what you are linking it to. This helps create back-links. Your article or blog should be an add on or an improvement to where you are leaving the comment. Don't say that in the comment section though.
- Leave a link in your Facebook, Twitter, Myspcae, Bebo or whatever else you use and ask friends to visit. Ask them to help you by proof reading and by helping you fill in gaps or simply make improvements. This always works better.
So friends, please do visit my articles and leave genuine comments, even if they are negative. I would rather have you be honest then lead me to believe I am doing it right. I will do the same by reading your articles and leaving honest opinion. We are all here to make some extra cash, so may as well help ea other. Good luck.
