<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2013/01/what-is-google-authorrank-how-exactly.html" target="_blank">Google Authorship</a>
helps authors get their content associated with their name, so people
can recognize them. Not only that, it helps them get going with their
PageRank, which ultimately effects the search rankings of their content.
And besides <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/08/show-author-profile-picture-next-to.html" target="_blank">showing your author profile picture </a>in
search results (which has an immediately positive effect on your Click
Through Rate), it also makes more posts by the author accessible to the
searcher, hence retaining more value from a single searcher. Since it is
such an important question, people ask a lot of questions regarding
rel="author" and Google Authorship. We'd like to address some of them
with the <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2013/08/relauthor-frequently-asked-advanced.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FamDG+%28Official+Google+Webmaster+Central+Blog%29" target="_blank">help of Google</a> in this post.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Some frequently asked questions</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Does Authorship work with all kinds of pages?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As it happens, no. Authorship can only work with pages actually written
by an author, and not with those that are more generic, say like a
contact page. A page show have a clear byline indicated that a certain
author wrote this post, and it should use the same name as used on their
Google Plus profile.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The page should also contain content by a single author, such as a
single article. If it has a continuously updating stream, written by
multiple authors, then there's really no point in associating a single
author with that content.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Can aliases, or company mascots be used?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They can, but Google prefers that the content be written by an actual
human being, and that increases the trust rating for a page. But make
sure you link to a legitimate Google Plus profile in the Authorship
markup, instead of linking to a company Page.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Can multiple authors be added for a single article?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The short answer is, no. But Google is still experimenting to find the
optimal outcome for searchers when more than one author is specified.
And you can always add multiple authors for a single site.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Difference between rel="author" and rel="publisher"</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, rel=publisher helps a business create a shared identity by linking
the business’ website (often from the homepage) to the business’
Google+ Page. rel=author helps individuals (authors!) associate their
individual articles from a URL or website to their Google+ profile.
While rel=author and rel=publisher are both link relationships, they’re
actually completely independent of one another.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Should authorship be used in site's property listings or products pages?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, property listings and product pages generally are listings
property or products that showcase something, and display its features.
These are objective details, irrelevant to the personal opinions of a
human being. These objective details can possibly be found on another
site. For example, you can find the same laptop or smartphone listed on
multiple online shopping stores - and they have nothing to with who
added their features/descriptions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The point being, that Google wants to return results that have a human
perspective. But there's no such perspective in product pages. Hence, it
is discouraged to use authorship for product listings. An author can,
however, write a review of a product, and add a much higher level of
subjectivity to the content, making it relevant to the individual
author.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>How to prevent Google from showing Authorship</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not that you should make a habit of it, but there might arise a few
situations where you'd want Google to not show Authorship. In those
cases, you can remove the authorship markup, which is the most obvious
solution. You can also remove the profile and contributor links to the
website on your profile. That is a more elegant solution.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can also set your Google+ profile un-discoverable in search results,
and this is the fastest way to get the job done; maybe not the best one
though. To do this, go to your Google+ main menu, and click on <b>Settings</b>. Now un-check the box that says "<b>Help others discover my profile in search results</b>".
Be warned though. This will disable your Authorship for all sites you
contribute to. So this might not be the most elegant solution.</div>

Up to 90% Massive Drop in Google Search Traffic Worldwide [Case Study]

daily with questions related to a massive Organic Search traffic drop
on sites world wide. Almost all sites are effected be it entertainment
based, IT orientated, ecommerce or blogs ran on Wordpress and Blogger.
All www domains have been seriously effected by Google with a 50%-90%
Cruel Traffic penalty without any prior notice or announcement. Matt
Cutts blog and his twitter profile are both deserted and there appears
to be no updates on what exactly is happening. Webmasters around the
world have been terribly hit by this biggest algorithmic change far
bigger than <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/05/google-penguin-and-google-panda-penalty.html" target="_blank">Panda or Penguin</a>. The interesting part to note is, Google blogs, forums and the company employees wont utter a word on <strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">what just happened on <span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: red;">August 16</span> </span>and August 21? </span></strong><strong> </strong><strong></strong></div>
<div align="justify">
Around
half of our clients complained recently about a major drop in their
traffic. Since we offer SEO consultancy, its our job to keep these sites
well optimized. I was shocked with the figures I received from their
Analytics reports. Far bigger surprise was when we noticed all blogs of <span style="background-color: #333333; color: white;"><strong>STC</strong> <strong><span style="color: #f79646;">Network</span></strong></span> being terribly effected with a tremendous loss in traffic for the past few weeks starting from<span style="background-color: red;"> <strong><span style="color: white;">August 16th</span></strong></span>. Based on the free available tools we have online, following are some reports presented as a brief<strong> Case Study</strong>
that would prove that a major algorithmic change has surely occurred on
Google's side which the company is neglecting to answer so far.</div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a> <strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">UPDATE#1:</span></strong> A Simple Solution has been shared. Please read:<br />

<h3>
1. Algoroo </h3>
<div align="justify">
<a href="http://algoroo.com/" target="_blank">Alogoroo</a>
is my favorite tool and it is the only reliable tool I use when
observing changes in Google's algorithms. If you observe the chart
below, you would see that the Red rectangular bar shooted high on <strong>August 16</strong> and <strong>August 21</strong>.
This clearly indicates that Google has surely refreshed their indexed
data twice on these days. August 16 is the day when our blog's traffic
along with thousand others dropped by 40%.</div>

<h3>
2. SERPS</h3>
<div align="justify">
<a href="https://serps.com/tools/volatility" target="_blank">Serps</a>
offers an extremely useful and tracking free tool that shows index
volatility for Google and Bing. It gives a much wider information
through different volatility charts on monthly and quarterly basis. If
you observe the spikes on the chart below then you would notice that the
changes in Google's algorithms dates back to even <strong>June 28-29</strong> and <strong>July 26</strong>. Also observe the spikes on <strong>16th</strong> and <strong>21st </strong>August. </div>
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ohSN-jZtQXA/UijXpEy3SbI/AAAAAAAALBs/zDJaAlbU4-o/s1600-h/image%25255B41%25255D.png"><img alt="serps spikes showing changes in Search algorithm" border="0" height="177" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-uLutmesAr8o/UijXrM5dcYI/AAAAAAAALB0/ftP3dLFQbaU/image_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="serps spikes showing changes in Search algorithm" width="600" /></a><br />

<h3>
3. SERPMetrics</h3>
<div align="justify">
<a href="http://serpmetrics.com/flux/" target="_blank">SerpMetrics</a>
is the most comprehensive tool amongst all because it shows major
spikes of Search changes for all major Search engines which include
Google, Yahoo and bing. Carefully observe below a major spike on 21st
August.</div>

<h3>
4. GoSquared Testimony Proves it all!</h3>
<div align="justify">
Now
to prove how badly the algorithmic Change on August 16th effected
global traffic then see the chart below which is provided by <a href="https://www.gosquared.com/" target="_blank">GoSquared</a> which offers real time analytics for websites. It is a popular service even used by <strong>BBC News</strong> and <strong>The</strong> <strong>TeleGraph</strong>. </div>
<div align="justify">
GoSquared proved that <span style="background-color: yellow;"><strong>on August 16th Google was unbelievably down for 5 minutes!</strong></span>
People could not access YouTube, Gmail, Google Search, Blogger, Google+
or any service under Google's umbrella. All domains under the company
were returning a server error between <strong>23:52</strong> and<strong> 23:57 BST</strong> on 16th August 2013.</div>
<div align="justify">
The
chart below shows a big drop in the number of pageviews of GoSquare
tracking tool on August 16. This indicates that all sites which had the
Gosquared script installed were actually receiving no search traffic
from Google for exactly 5 minutes and this caused a serious traffic loss
for over 40% of all sites using GoSquared. </div>
<img alt="Gosquared analytics for 40% drop in global traffic" border="0" height="218" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-SSC1rxyWe_Y/UijXyKegR_I/AAAAAAAALCM/ciKXzVSjg6c/image%25255B49%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Gosquared analytics for 40% drop in global traffic" width="511" /><br />
This is what that proves it all. Google went down for 5 minutes and yet the company neglected to comment on this global outage. <br />
<h3>
5. Google could not hide it!</h3>
<div align="justify">
After
having contacted Google's Webspam team led by matt cutts and waiting
for their replys , we could not wait any longer and thought to inform
everyone that the above reports are not rumors but facts which <strong>Google accepts itself! How?</strong> </div>
<div align="justify">
Google has a utility called <a href="http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status&ts=1376744588620" target="_blank">AppsStatus</a> that shows status for all sites under Google's root domain. Visiting this tool today convinced me to write this case study. The<span style="color: #ff80ff;"> </span><strong><span style="color: #ff0080;">pink bullets</span></strong> indicate <strong>service outage</strong> and amazingly you would see a pink bullet next to all services owned by Google between <strong>August 16</strong> and <strong>August 17</strong>. Since our blog is hosted on <strong><span style="color: #f79646;">Blogger.com</span></strong>
therefore you would notice that even blogger was down between August
16-17 and this is the main reason which explains why many of BlogSpot
users were facing trouble logging into their accounts because the page
kept on returning a server error.</div>
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-JNSV1sXsweM/UijX3GIFMSI/AAAAAAAALCU/w1idSIug5Hw/s1600-h/image%25255B67%25255D.png"><img alt="google services went down for 5 minutes" border="0" height="526" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BXoMHZ5URBs/UijX7B-UdFI/AAAAAAAALCc/Y_dO4ab_Kd8/image_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="google services went down for 5 minutes" width="600" /></a><br />

<h3>
So what now?</h3>
<div align="justify">
I
am sure its not just you who is effected with this latest Google story
but indeed all webmasters worldwide including us and all sites under our
network. No one knows if this is a service failure on Google's part, or
they have encountered a server breakdown or loss of indexed data or
they are experimenting with a new Webspam algorithm but no matter
whatever it is, it has badly effected all sites worldwide irrespective
of the niche and content quality. Some say it is a new Penalty that
Google will announce soon for sites sharing Affiliate products or
similar. But I strongly disagree to all such claims because most of the
sites that we service are entertainment based with not even a single
affiliate link. Some even used to say that the traffic drop is because
of summer season in WEST but I believe that is not a valid reason
because we have never encountered such a massive traffic drop ever in
past 5 years. Traffic during summer season is effected by a minor margin
of 5-10% but the SERPs loss this time is as high as 90% for some sites
which is alarming. </div>
<div align="justify">
I would share some tips on
what to do in order to make sure you recover the lost traffic. Its
simply a SEO trial and error experiment that we think could possibly
change things to a satisfying level. Stay tuned for our next post on
Recovering the lost traffic due to Google outage.</div>

who are experiencing a Traffic loss for the past few weeks. Your views

How To Serve Responsive Images On Your Site?
</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Responsive Web Design techniques" border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-50QCQ2Z6ADYi3tWzZU_mSTPaPvYnk_7xGfWmUQwDNNWhg2v0lBODqvM739XdDpHpxymCu9tj615s8BIveKJql7Kg162XA7akBg_1QD-BXXaUqs3RKPlcc4-6tUC0qDxmJS8ecVOXmdgq/s320/Responsive--web-design-techniques.jpg" title="Responsive Web Design techniques" width="320" /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2013/05/design-responsive-blogger-template.html" target="_blank">Responsive Web Design</a> (RWD) has now become one of the the most important web design techniques nowadays, and it provide the cornerstone for modern <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2013/04/optimize-websites-for-mobile-devices.html" target="_blank">mobile web development</a>.
Implementing a few RWD techniques to your blog can give it the edge it
needed, nay deserved, to entice its mobile users to visit more often. So
while we're on the subject of implementing RWD techniques, let's talk a
bit about serving truly responsive images, because there are a couple
issues every webmaster faces when dealing with images, responsively
speaking.</div>
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Usually, Responsive Web Design has to with fluid images, i.e. images
that resize themselves depending upon the users' screen size and
resolution. They work fine for desktops and tablets, but the biggest
problem with fluid images is, no matter what client the user has, the
same image size will be sent to them. The user agent then resizes the
image according to the specifications at hand. This can be a problem for
mobile data connections, and can reduce load time on a mobile. You can,
however, use a number of techniques to serve images of different sizes
to user agents.</div>
<h3>
Picture Element in HTML 5</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <picture> element is set to become a standard for responsive
images in HTML 5, and it will allow us to use multiple sources for a
single image while deciding the source will be done depending on the
screen size. The markup looks as follows;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><picture id="my_images"><br /> <source media="(min-width: 50em)" srcset="large1.jpg 1x, large2.jpg 2x"> <br /> <source media="(min-width: 20em)" srcset="medium1.jpg 1x, medium2.jpg 2x"> <br /></picture></span></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since HTML 5 hasn't been fully finalized, this element is still being
proposed, and is in the testing phase. So it can't be used yet. You can,
however, use a JavaScript library called <a href="https://github.com/scottjehl/picturefill" target="_blank">Picture Fill</a> to achieve the same effect. It makes use of span tags, and its markup looks something like this;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span data-picture data-alt="Some ALT text"> <br /> <span data-src="small.jpg"></span> <br /> <span data-src="medium.jpg" data-media="(min-width: 500px)"></span> <br /></span></span></blockquote>
<br />
<h3>
WordPress Plugins</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have a WordPress website, then you're in luck, because there are various plugins you can use to do the job for you.</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/plugins/picturefillwp/" target="_blank">Picture Fill WP</a></li>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-responsive-images/" target="_blank">Simple Responsive Image</a></li>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-responsive-images/" target="_blank">WP Responsive Image</a></li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3>
PHP Scripts</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you somewhat know your way around PHP, then you can use a custom
third-party PHP script to deliver resized images to the user depending
upon the users' screen size and resolution. This is by far one of the
most stable ways to do the job, and is definitely better than using
JavaScript to detect user agent, and render image accordingly.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One such script is the <a href="http://adaptive-images.com/" target="_blank">Adaptive Image</a>. Adaptive
Image is a small PHP script that detects user screen size and deliver
the proper image for that screen size. It does not require the changing
of your current <img> markup, but the implementation is rather
intimidating for less tech-savvy users.</div>

We'll cover the implementation of these PHP scripts in another post. But
for now, you can try the other alternatives, and tell us about your
experience with these simple, yet effective responsive web design
techniques.

Recover Your blog's Lost Traffic Due to Recent Google Outage
</h2>
<img alt="recover lost traffic" border="0" height="272" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-4noCNOwAyDc/UjIJ6BqwEmI/AAAAAAAALEI/YO7p2JRKGFY/image%25255B56%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="recover lost traffic" width="570" />The
reason why we delayed this post was that we were actually experimenting
on what actually caused a Global drop in traffic and why isn't Google
responding on this biggest traffic Tsunami ever. I remember that from
July 17th to August 17th MattCutts was on a 30 days self-Challenge of
not reading news or using social media. I guess that challenge has
already ended but is MattCutts even aware of the recent Google Outage
that took place on August 16th, when he was on this "<a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/social-media-diet/" target="_blank">No Social Media, No News</a>"
challenge? :> We were not able to find a single piece of information
on what exactly happened on August 16th and therefore were forced to do
our own experimentation which at least improved our traffic by 10% and
we are further waiting for more productive results. The tips below are
optimization techniques for both Blogger and Wordpress Platforms.
Applying them is indeed the easiest and quickest job.
<br /><br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: yellow;"><strong>UPDATE#1:</strong> </span>Google just announced the reasons what made a search traffic drop:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2013/09/google-announces-major-algorithmic-update.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Google Explains it as HummingBird!</span></a> </li>
</ul>
If you have not read our Case Study on Google Outage then please first read that:<br />
<ul>
<li> <div align="justify">
<strong>Read:</strong> <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2013/09/up-to-90-massive-drop-in-google-search.html" target="_blank">Up to 90% Global Traffic Drop World Wide</a></div>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
What Might Have affected your Site Traffic this time?</h3>
<div align="justify">
All
services by Google went down for 5 minutes on August 16th, which
effected a global loss in traffic worldwide up to 50%-90%. We wrote a
comprehensive Case Study to prove that Google actually went into trouble
on two specific days and the company has not yet commented on this
technical blackout. </div>
<div align="justify">
A similar failure happened
even on April 17th, 2013 when Google Apps, especially Gmail went down
for over 30 Minutes and people could not log into this largest cloud
based Emailing system. Google quickly commented on this failure by
informing <a href="http://mashable.com/2013/04/17/google-apps-down-again/" target="_blank">Mashable</a>:</div>
<div class="blockquote">
We
are currently investigating issues with Gmail, Drive and Docs as well
as the Google Apps Control Panel. We are providing more information and
frequent updates through our Google Apps Status Dashboard, which you can
find <a href="http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status&ts=1366206964509.%20">here</a>.</div>
<div align="justify">
But
the problem this time is different. The outage this time effected
Google's organic search traffic. Well optimized sites saw a massive drop
of over 50-90% drop. The forums are crowded with anger and waiting for a
positive reply but looks like this time we need to help the sinking
ship ourselves. </div>
<div align="justify">
Here are some of the problems and their solutions that might have resulted out of this latest Google outage story or <strong>new Google Penalty </strong>story:</div>
<h5>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Problem#1 : Precious loss of Indexed entries on Google servers</span></span></h5>
<div align="justify">
Google's
databases that stores indexed data might have been badly effected which
caused lost of several entries. Google bots gather newly updated
content using sitemaps which are XML documents. Whenever you update your
blog, your sitemap gets updated with a new tag entry, this entry pings
Google through your webmasters account and that's how a Search robot
gets informed when to pay visit to crawl and index the newly published
content. </div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #008040; font-size: small;"><strong>Solution#1:</strong></span></div>
<div align="justify">
If
this assumption is the least right then a possible precaution would be
to refresh the sitemaps you have submitted to Google. Follow these
steps:</div>
<ol>
<li> <div align="justify">
Log into your webmasters account </div>
</li>
<li> <div align="justify">
Go to Sitemaps </div>
</li>
<li> <div align="justify">
Check all boxes and hit the <strong>Resubmit</strong> button. Give Google at least 24 hours to refresh the new entries. </div>
</li>
</ol>
<img alt="resubmit sitemaps" border="0" height="236" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-cC9v6Fe3pSs/UjIJ_PoHjXI/AAAAAAAALEQ/ZciCVfnSWyM/image%25255B7%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="resubmit sitemaps" width="192" /><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f79646;"><strong>Tip For Blogger:</strong></span> Submit sitemaps containing at least 500 URLS. You can use our <a href="http://tools.mybloggertricks.com/generator/sitemap.html" target="_blank">Multiple sitemap Submission tool</a> to create total number of sitemaps for your Blogger blog.<br />
<strong><span style="color: #0080c0;">Tip for Wordpress:</span></strong>
In your XML sitemap plugin limit the number of posts to at most 500 or
1000. Add both these sitemaps in your webmasters account.<br />
<h5>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Problem#2 : Poor Quality Content [True Definition]</span></span></h5>
<div align="justify">
A
striking question that we often hear is Poor quality content and how to
identify that you have written something that is poor in quality? The
answer is simple, any post or page on your site that is of no value to
Google users. Now what exactly could this content be. Following are some
topics that come under this category:</div>
<ol>
<li>Tags </li>
<li>Labels, Categories </li>
<li>Archives </li>
<li>Author Pages </li>
<li>Paginated Pages </li>
<li>Duplicate Content </li>
<li>Content with only links </li>
<li>Content with Less word count (less than 300) </li>
<li>Broken Links </li>
<li> <div align="justify">
<strong>Affiliate Links & Affiliate Posts!</strong> </div>
</li>
</ol>
<div align="justify">

</li>
</ul>
<div align="justify">
I have taken care of almost all these types of SEO mistakes but the last one is something that I doubt this time and that is <strong>repeated posting on Affiliate products</strong>.
We often post on Discount coupons with repeated use of keywords and
product details. This pays no value to Google users but our Readers.
After having brainstormed ourselves thoroughly We have come to a
decision that such posting deserves to be tagged as noindex and
noarchive. Google rarely sends traffic to Pages which shares affiliate
products so it would be wise to take a safe side and noindex all such
posts that offers no value in long term to our organic search and are
meant to serve blog readers alone. </div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #008040; font-size: small;"><strong>Solution#2:</strong></span></div>
<div align="justify">
We
have written several tutorials on how to solve issue of the first 9
Poor quality content issues and today we will share an extremely easy
and rarely applied method to make best use of your Affiliate posts and
yet stay on the safer side. We will talk about Poor content issue#10
i.e. <strong>Affiliate Links & Affiliate Posts!</strong> </div>
<div align="justify">
Its pretty obvious that you must always add a nofollow attribute to all your affiliate links but what about the post itself?</div>
<div align="justify">
<strong><u>Noindex Affiliate Posts, Archives and Search Pages:</u></strong></div>
<span style="color: #f79646;"><strong>For Blogger:</strong></span><br />
Follow these steps for BlogSpot blogs:<br />
<ol>
<li>Go to Blogger > Settings > Search Preferences </li>
<li>Enable <strong>Custom Robots header tags</strong> and set these settings: </li>
</ol>
<strong></strong><br />
<img alt="custom robots header tags in blogger" border="0" height="436" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-AvdAebuxxwE/UjIKCtqgVGI/AAAAAAAALEY/gSXtODhbYPA/image%25255B17%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="custom robots header tags in blogger" width="591" /><br />
<br />
<div align="justify">
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">Note:</span></strong> You can now easily noindex <strong>archives </strong>and Search pages (labels, search results) by choosing the noindex and noarchive options as shown in the image above.</div>
<div align="justify">
Click Save and doing this will add a new option called "<strong>Custom Robots tags</strong>"
in your blogger post editor. This option will enable you on how to
treat a particular post. Whether you want it to be indexed or you don't
want robots to crawl it. It has other options too for avoiding
translating of post but we are concerned only with the tags <strong>noindex </strong>and <strong>noarchive</strong> here that will tell robots neither to crawl nor keep a cached copy of the page. </div>
<div align="justify">
Find
all such posts where you have shared discount coupons or where you
thing the post offers no quality and deserves to be tagged as noindex.
Simply select the noindex and noarchive tags for that particular post
and hit <strong>Update</strong>.</div>
<img alt="custom robots tags" border="0" height="437" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-iBMg0JFJTug/UjIKIXySEBI/AAAAAAAALEg/7gkbHwXS5aY/image%25255B26%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="custom robots tags" width="193" /><br />
<strong>Note:</strong> This method doesn't add a meta tag under the opening Head tag of that particular page but it will instead add <strong>X-Robots-Tag</strong> header tag in the HTTP response of that page. <br />
Check the X-Robots-Tag for my homepage:<br />

Is It True That Google Plus Activity Has No Search Ranking Benefit?
</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlPvcaEnQufleKoRKrCwS5MrYXiH1nlYW1h2i8TpxGV9sDQGy1bFpfT5EU6OuojMr9m_BVMoJ0Ctk-0AeGAIHcKjV_KhngTCPaG0xK3bDkWFTVQ4ixmZyExtMdTSqikcmE674l24AgIr2J/s1600/google-plus-effect-on-search-ranking.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Google Plus Effect On Search Rankings" border="0" height="152" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlPvcaEnQufleKoRKrCwS5MrYXiH1nlYW1h2i8TpxGV9sDQGy1bFpfT5EU6OuojMr9m_BVMoJ0Ctk-0AeGAIHcKjV_KhngTCPaG0xK3bDkWFTVQ4ixmZyExtMdTSqikcmE674l24AgIr2J/s320/google-plus-effect-on-search-ranking.jpg" title="Google Plus Effect On Search Rankings" width="320" /></a>
“Does having a strong presence on Google+ affects your presence on
Google as a whole? Or more precisely, does it have any direct impact on
Google’s search rankings? “. This is one for the debates, as people
often dispute it, essentially because the Google Plus share link is a
dofollow link, which means <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2013/02/google-penalty-on-link-selling.html" target="_blank">it passes PageRank</a>. But as Google's Matt Cutts told us time and time again, <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2013/08/share-blog-posts-on-google-plus-page.html" target="_blank">Google Plus activity</a> might not actually give you any search ranking benefit, as suggested by one <a href="http://www.stonetemple.com/measuring-google-plus-impact-on-search-rankings/" target="_blank">latest study by Eric Enge</a>, co-author of The Art of SEO and a speaker at SES SF 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
The study by Enge, named <i>Direct Measurement of Google Plus Impact on Search Rankings</i>,
draws attention to a surprisingly shocking result. It shows that
Google+ has no direct impact on your Google rankings. Google+ can
increase visibility of your post, which ultimately leads to more
traffic,, but then again, Facebook or Twitter can do the same as well.
<br />
Here is a video interview between Eric Enge and Greg Jarboe on this study:<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Study</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stone Temple Consulting took three different websites that were on the
internet for the past two years. Two articles were written for each
website. One of the article pages was used as the “Test Page”, and the
other was used as the “Baseline Page”. Both pages were standalone, and
were implemented without any links to them from any source.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both of them received an initial set of Google+ Shares, 6 for the Test
Pages, and 40 or more for the Baseline Pages. A group of Google+
influencers (Those who have large no of following) shared the Test page.
The participants were also instructed to only share the page, not to
link or visit the page, unless absolutely necessary.</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The pages were tracked from the end of July 2013 to September 15, 2013.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">At each stage, each share was accompanied by a strong disclaimer very similar to the following</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">All pages were monitored to verify that
no links were implemented to the pages. Tools used to monitor links
were Webmaster Tools, Majestic SEO, Open Site Explorer, and Ahrefs.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Results were tracked daily over the course of the study.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Analysis</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The study was conducted for three major goals:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">To see if Google Plus would drive discovery.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Does Google Plus drive page indexing?</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Whether Google Plus shares have an impact on page ranking.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Page Discovery</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In terms of discovery, Enge said</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
"In my opinion, it is highly likely that Google+ drove discovery of the content." </blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Google Developers page for implementing +1 buttons states that;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
“By using a Google+ button, Publishers give Google permission to utilize
an automated software program, often called a “web crawler,” to
retrieve and analyze websites associated with a Google+ button. “</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While this does not say they will index it, or rank it, it does say that
they reserve the right to crawl it, and it was important enough for
them to explicitly state that they might do so.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And it all makes sense too. The study revealed that it took Google Bot
only 6 minutes to find the pages after the first Google Plus share.</div>
<h3>
Page Indexing</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During analysis, Enge found that Google+ shares probably drive indexing.
All the six articles (2 articles, on each of the 3 test pages)
initially appeared in the Google index 10 days later.</div>
<h3>
Page Ranking</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We saw no evidence of Google+ shares driving ranking," Enge said. "Once
we saw that a page was indexed, we were immediately able to find search
queries for which the page ranked. However, this does not mean that the
shares were driving ranking. As per the original Sergey Brin - Larry
Page thesis, each page on the web has a small amount of innate PageRank.
This PageRank by itself might cause a page to rank for certain types of
long tail queries, even in the absence of any other signals."</div>
<br />
For example, one of the test pages had 10 search phrases. As the chart
below shows, there is no pattern to the rankings since the page appeared
in the Google index:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You can see from the above graphs that rankings have no specific pattern.<br />
<h3>
Final summary</h3>
According to Enge’s study;<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Google+ shares do drive discovery.</li>
<li>Google+ shares probably drive indexing as well.</li>
<li>No evidence of ‘Google+ shares driving ranking’ was found.</li>
</ul>

<b>Social Networking and Blogging combined</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tumblr includes both blogging (and microblogging) and social networking
features. Tumblr has all the blogging functionality of a blog platform
such as WordPress, blogger, etc. Tumblr also include all the social
networking features of a social network site such as Facebook or
Twitter. This makes Tumblr a unique platform.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
Why Tumblr is a big deal?</h3>
<ul>
<li>More than 131 million blogs as of 20th September.</li>
<li>Tumblr is among the top 15 websites in U.S.</li>
<li>More 50% of Tumblr users are under the age of 25.</li>
<li>Many people are switching to Tumblr (most of them are teens).</li>
<li>Tumblr has unique 300 million monthly visitors.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By 2011 Tumblr had three times more blogs than WordPress. Today Tumblr
is the largest hosted blog platform on the web having 300 million blogs.
And a large number of world’s largest, leading brands have presence on
Tumblr. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tumblr also has a huge potential for SEO and social media marketing
.With user numbers and popularity on the rise, it’s a perfect marketing
tool for businesses.</div>
<h3>
Tumblr – The Benefits?</h3>
<b>1) Customization</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You are aware that impressions do matter. Tumblr allows you to customize
your page. Choose your layout style and find a design that matches your
page’s theme. A variety of themes are available. Choose the one that
fits your business.</div>
<br />
<b>2) Dofollow links </b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most blog software creates allows you to create a link to yourself when
you comment on a blog post. Links bring traffic to your site when they
click the link, but each link can also count as a “vote” for your site
with search engines. These backlinks increase your page rank and help
your site rank closer to first in search engine results. Dofollow blogs
create normal links that count as a vote for your site. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tumblr offers you a Dofollow backlink for each link you share, which is
the biggest advantage. Unlike Facebook or other social media, sharing on
Tumblr can actually do you good outside of that social media, and aside
from bringing you traffic, it will also help you increase your
PageRank.</div>
<br />
<b>3) Tumblr tags</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tumblr features a unique tagging system. If you want to add a tag,
simply start typing a word and Tumblr will suggest you the relevant
tags. Unlike Facebook, Tumblr tags are already used for content
discovery. Thus by using relevant tags, there is a good chance of your
content to be discovered.</div>
<br />
<b>4) Microsites</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can use Tumblr to quickly set up simple, easy to manage and free
microsites (Now called as Simple Sites). You can even use your own
domain name with these microsites.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Microsites can also be used for redirection to your main website. By
building a sleek microsite with quality content would increase your page
rank within months.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5) Branding</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

becoming more and more popular, it’s a perfect marketing tool for
businesses that are trying to extend their reach. With more than 300

10 Alternatives to Fiverr : Make Up to $25 per Gig!</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisB6HXeQSxO_NQ-_YG3Ux4QWqz71jfX19LM980YIdpF1915elNQ-HDWq8xVrNMYVx9P1iis9zDm0dyTtNhwVr4-90VfNd9qFAb2KQBNo-5ZgdEQsUZd1upetCBXH4-oclM2D8-lAtrrPCP/s1600/fiverr+alternatives+to+help+you+make+more+money.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="top 10 fiverr alternatives to help you make more money" border="0" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisB6HXeQSxO_NQ-_YG3Ux4QWqz71jfX19LM980YIdpF1915elNQ-HDWq8xVrNMYVx9P1iis9zDm0dyTtNhwVr4-90VfNd9qFAb2KQBNo-5ZgdEQsUZd1upetCBXH4-oclM2D8-lAtrrPCP/s200/fiverr+alternatives+to+help+you+make+more+money.jpg" title="top 10 fiverr alternatives to help you make more money" width="200" /></a>Fiverr originally started out as a new and very unique concept. There were only the big <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/06/10-best-websites-you-must-join-to-work.html">freelancing websites</a>
like Elance and Freelancer etc back then. So Fiverr brought a very
refreshing change. Whether you are a proper freelancer or just a regular
office-going guy, Fiverr gives you a chance to earn some quick bucks so
you can cover up your extravagances. Fiverr is also a great place to
get your freelancing career started. But the trouble is, Fiverr only
allows you to earn $5 minus their commission per gig. For some people,
this might not be enough. Luckily for them, many alternative websites to
fiverr have emerged over the years. Fiverr was such a success that many
others adopted the idea and came up with their own version of Fiverr.
Most of these aren't very good, but some might just be better than
Fiverr! So here, we will discuss about the top 10 alternatives to fiverr
you must try.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
Why not Fiverr?</h4>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There're a few legit reasons why you would not want to stay with Fiverr.
It might seem very attractive, but it does has short-comings. Firstly,
it doesn't pay you very well. Now I know people make hundreds of dollars
off it every month, but considering the effort, is it really worth it?
%5 is sort of a bottleneck which you might want to eventually break out
of.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Secondly, you don't even earn a full $5. Fiverr commission is 20%, which is <i>huge</i> by
any standards! So essentially, you only get $4, and the remaining one
dollar goes to Fiverr. Imagine you complete 200 gigs in a month. You
will only get $800, where you could be getting a full grand. That's just
$200 down the drain!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fiverr is no longer what it once was. It started off as a fun place
where people could make use of their creativity. But over the years, it
has become quite competitive. Much more complicated jobs are being done
now for a much smaller price. Let me give you an example. I spotted two
different gigs on fiverr. One promised to "Suggest a professional name
and motto for a website," while another said, "I will create an
attractive dynamic website using HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript for $5."</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do you see the injustice? The guy who suggests professional names
probably is a natural at this. He might hardly take 10 minutes to come
up with a good name and slogan. But the web-designer has to work for
hours, just for a petty $4. Both these guys will earn the same. The
point is, Fiverr might just not be worth it if it takes more than 30
minutes t complete a gig. In that case, you need to look on to
alternatives, some of which we have right here for you.</div>

<b>Top 10 Alternatives to Fiverr</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
1. <a href="http://gigbucks.com/">GigBucks</a></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
GigBucks is is a very popular alternative to Fiverr. It hosts gigs for
all the categories found on fiverr. It gives freelancers the opportunity
to charge an appropriate amount of money for their services. A gig can
be anywhere in the range of $5 to $50, definitely a big step up from the
$4 on fiverr. Just like Fiverr, joining is absolutely free. And you can
post as many gigs as you like. A must try for existing fiverr users or
other people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h4>
2. <a href="http://zeerk.com/">Zeerk</a></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zeerk is another big fish up for grabs. Working at Zeerk can be much
more worth your while. You can charge as much as $100 per gig! Now,
services can charged appropriately and no one needs feel left out! For
small jobs such as $2 or $5 jobs, there is no commission! And I thought
Fiverr was cool!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Zeerk" border="0" height="178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWkSc8J4Z-Y3TgwYcedeHdOzTFBOmY0b_QZz7DC1vO_ZxyrXHSGomvVn_GQG162jykSBQ4VexTT3w5LvpQOq5NlANo5kpcehQ80MSThLGHVgErnXcLaCLx45UDF7aKJdBPWR4jKvnmhtWm/s400/ZEERK.png" title="Zeerk" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
3. <a href="http://www.seoclerks.com/">SEOClerks</a></h4>
<div>
This is one of my favorite websites. It contains gigs relating to SEO,
internet marketing, and other such web services. The great thing about
it is, it offers the widest range of money you can ask for your gigs.
You could either ask for $1 for a petty job, or you could ask as much as
$999 for a high value project. Web masters would love this website.
Just visit it and see what i'm talking about.</div>
<div>

<br />
<h4>
4. <a href="http://tenbux.com/">TenBux</a></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
TenBux is very similar to Fiverr. A lot similar, in fact. It has a
similar interface, which is simple and easy to use. It has almost all
of the categories Fiverr has. Only big difference is, it allows $10 per
gig, twice of what fiverr would allow. Out of the $10, you get $8, which
is the exact commission rate as it is with fiverr.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="TenBux" border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJX0An_8q4-RqFHOKC4B4FD-LlqMBCnMfAoLSuN-JdIQIcCNLxB3TKhLxR9NC257rEGiXprlPOe048xadLAcFkl1xa0oU-AEhNCz8TAI8_a8XQV4NveF46pd1M2PWDLR4683XuA9umKFgM/s400/TenBux.PNG" title="TenBux" width="400" /></div>
<h4>
5. <a href="http://fittytown.com/">FittyTown</a></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
FittyTown is another website that offers a large amount of money for
almost the same things hosted on fiverr for far less. It allows gigs of
only $50, nothing more, nothing less. After deduction, you will get $40,
a 20% commission deduction. But overall, it's a good website that you
must try. Who knows you might get lucky :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="FittyTown" border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf9Jo-A90-Zx9DUs-O_X-d5MC5aklMXoLCTtnVpKakLDX0WlY8c9iUPTqsxe8ms_O4tnQZx0KrEcbAgRG2Br9SbYU3LC2YYKoTywhkfHq9cV0K9q_YLNu_aQHpYuxAFJReNCB7sIUVchwi/s400/FittyTown.PNG" title="FittyTown" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
6. <a href="http://dollar3.com/">Dollar3</a></h4>
<div>
This website is a lot better than fiverr or some of its alternatives.
For one, it pays out through both PayPal and AlertPay. Here, you can
host any type of gig for $5, and some other multiples of 3; $3, $6, $9,
$12, $15, $27, $45, and $90. Not bad eh? Sign up now and show the world
what you've got!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Dollar3" border="0" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYskJlxYYXUBQrEcEtw583h2m71bpmaJlfUxRA7LN3IfLYBuXukgIIsnIb9Q9IS6QijeMXcafExqpKlf2UX85bPjJaCB2pTu-PFfl8eUKqKCDLVcZk7loS2Egr-O0h-m-KNiMkN3kXg8uQ/s400/Dollar3.PNG" title="Dollar3" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<h4>
7. <a href="http://www.twentyville.com/">TwentyVille</a></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's another good alternative. If offers much more than fiverr does.
You can host gigs for either $10 or $20. The commission remains the same
@ 20%. So you will get $8 or $16. Still, you're better off with this
than you are with fiverr.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="TwentyVille" border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnFr7MY3rCHg0NF_Kk6mhaYTDLnsysoJ-qOmvGxZdSxzpGdmr6m3DJP62oaejWQukhAd38-XLsH3vQHNTF-1JErDf8U1a0QP6jAGbuEd35UdI_-4Ed_M9xfDfDdV2xMRV0vF4byGa9W9L/s400/TwentyVille.PNG" title="TwentyVille" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
8. <a href="http://www.tenrr.com/">Tenrr</a></h4>
This is another copy, if not a clone of fiverr. The name, you can see.
But the interface is a little similar too. The good thing is, it has a
lower commission rate than fiverr. And it allows you to post gigs
ranging from $1 to $10. So that's pretty useful as far as categorization
of work is concerned. But the problem here is, giggers have to post
gigs with lower and lower rates to attract clients. And I must say, $1
is too low for any kind or work, unless it involves suggesting a name or
slogan or something.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="tenrr" border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyiHchKAS8-O768pHbuwnQGfIFCiFp4BxX9mYmLU1LkD4jImY8jjyMTzcHT3qujz6R5LVuO3UlFQsdHy2DFz26R6F-XyuSoreEwkySxYJLdbnNEMFlfuNGncR2AFALE5vxhYpwwWaLCp6A/s400/tenrr.PNG" title="tenrr" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
9. <a href="http://www.gigme5.com/">GigMe5</a></h4>
Website similar to Fiverr. The interface works very similar. And the services are the same too. $5 gigs, 20% commission etc.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="GigMe5" border="0" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAUc7iA1DcgJIZQsfNRfLbg7v_WjMyimRFyx2dLOwHzF5Z3S4kJM4wRY8gfQj0arBNonpHHInTzI6LcllM70-cGT4u_xgN8WqQMXxZqqgyAqg5GG_MV9SkSkLJZfqbPBioarH1Nwle4Acs/s400/GigMe5.PNG" title="GigMe5" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
10. <a href="http://fourerr.com/">Fourerr</a></h4>
<div>
Another website very similar to fiverr. Only, it hosts $4 gigs. The rest
is the same. 20% commission, payment through PayPal, similar interface,
etc. Not better than fiverr, but definitely worth a shot.</div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Fourerr" border="0" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkSifb7u6pLDtD386IEAWmEOCiycD-rC1gSiitG0XyApQXz8_5pj4685T1trXoWCwwQylVl98iGlq_ZhUal_A7RDODAjdDMlRbM2tdTZZQ69gZ0HYGH0Wu7XpMAuoJMhzd_duYY_azR9NR/s400/Fourerr.PNG" title="Fourerr" width="400" /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seems far-fetched, doesn't it? Looks like an ad similar to the ones that
say 'Google pays me so and so', yes? Well, you might be only half
right, because nothing is impossible, or should I say, impossible is
nothing in the world. It is only a matter of perspective and setting up
goals. Now most of you are thinking, people can <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2010/06/5-easy-ways-to-make-money-from-your.html" target="_blank">easily earn money by creating a blog</a>, but that money definitely isn't in seven figures. Well, perhaps it's time to think outside the box.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
The idea of creating a blog and earning money from it might have been
considered 'thinking outside the box' a few years ago. But as of now, it
is residing deep inside the box. Hence, the need of a change of
perspective, or mindset if you will.<br />
<br />
You can make some serious money if you
have the right aptitude for it. Students, of course are the best fit,
because they are quicker learners. But this doesn't other people can't
read this post, which will discuss about some of the productive ways of <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/04/top-ways-of-earning-money-in-2012.html" target="_blank">earning money</a>.
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Besides creating a blog and earning through <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/04/various-advertisment-options-you-can.html" target="_blank">advertisements</a> and affiliate programs, you can do many things to <a href="http://www.smartearningmethods.com/make-money-online/how-college-students-can-earn-money-while-studying/" target="_blank">earn some good money</a>.
Nowadays, earning money is no longer easy. With evolving trends in the
industries, skill is the need of the hour. Those who have equipped
themselves with it are earning millions, while others are sitting back
and waiting for people to lick on their ads (:P). So the bottom line is,
people, especially students need to spend their time in more productive
things, rather than playing games and chatting on Facebook.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now don't get me wrong. I am not saying that earning through blogs is a
bad idea, or that blogging is not productive. Oh no! Quite the contrary!
If you have a blog, then that's excellent! It will help you all the
more. But maybe, it's time to equip yourself with some new skills so you
can counter anything coming your way in the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the big question is, what to do? Well, here are a few suggestions.</div>
<h4>
Learn web development</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Information Technology has already taken over out lives. Already, online
connectivity is the need of the many, with new trends towards online
usage growing the form of cloud computing and more. If there;s one thing
for certain, it's that computers and the internet are definitely here
to stay. So that makes web technologies all the more important.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The amazing thing about this field is, it hasn't gone stale. Ever since
Tim Breners-Lee created HTTP in the late 80s, the field has grown in
importance. Look at Mark Zuckerberg. He was a student when he created
Facebook. In any of you have seen his movie, <i>The Social Network</i>,
you'll know how he first created a website called Face Mash, which
earned him reputation, and he eventually got approached by some seniors
who had a project in mind, which later became Facebook. See how
developing a simple website turned his luck? Now, he is a $20 Billion
man!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are other countless examples! Look at Larry Page, the founder of
Google. As big as it seems now, Google must have started from scratch at
one point. And it didn't just become a proper search engine at once. It
was built, little by little. Look where it is now. You can find
countless other such examples, like Matt Mullenweg - founder of
WordPress, or Sergey Brin, founder of O'Reilly Media. All of these
started from zero, yet used their skills to make their companies what
they are now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are many places you can learn the required skills from. Just Google what you want to do. Personally, I'd recommend <a href="http://lynda.com/">Lynda.com</a>, and <a href="http://oreilly.com/" target="_blank">O'Reilly Media</a>. They are simply the best resources available on the web today!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You don't necessarily need to make a website. You could create your own
tools for your blog, or make a web app and implement it on your
blog/website etc. There are literally thousands of ways you can put your
skills to good use.</div>
<h4>
<span style="background-color: white;">Create an app</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">For those of you who are into programming, <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/01/how-to-make-money-by-making-android-app.html" target="_blank">creating an app</a>
for a smartphone is a really good idea! Not many people think about it,
which makes it that much more special. Again, you can learn how to make
apps fro the leading online resources such as Lynda.com and O'Reilly
Media. There's really no shortage of resources one can complain about.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Now about the app itself. The
important thing is to start. The challenge seems daunting, which is why
most people can't get past the thinking phase. Grab any good idea that
comes to your head, and run with it. Remember; for your first app, you
don't really need to be unique. You can make something as simple as a
currency-converter or a calculator. This will get you acquainted with
the working of things. Once you have your first app, you can start
thinking of a unique game or app idea. Forget Angry birds, believe me,
there are people who are earning loads of money from much simpler ideas.
You can make a simple app too. It'll either be popular, or it won't.
But in either case, you'll learn something, and that is why you'll
always be the winner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Popular smartphone platforms are
Android and iOS. So it'd be wise to create an app for them. Symbian and
Blackberry platforms have since lost their touch. And as a beginner, you
ought to give yourself the best chances.</span></div>
<h4>
Freelance projects</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you aren't into programming, then you can always look for other work
that best suits your needs. Freelance workers are being hired ever day
for all sorts of works. Maybe you can show them your skills and get
hired. Picking up freelance projects can really buff up your pocket.
There are <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/06/10-best-websites-you-must-join-to-work.html" target="_blank">many freelance websites</a> where you could look for work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes, it might be hard to find freelance work, because you have
nothing to show on your portfolio. You can, however, start with the
small websites, such as fiverr, or <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/06/10-alternatives-to-fiverr-make-up-to-25.html" target="_blank">its alternatives</a>.
These will give you a fairer opportunity to show your skills to the
world. And also, they will help you get your freelancing career started.</div>
<h4>
Write articles</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Freelance writing is another profitable way to earn money. If you have a
good grammar and good writing skills, then you should definitely try
this. You can either write for big article directories, such as <a href="http://www.ezinearticles.com/" target="_blank">EzineArticles</a>,
or write for blogs that are looking for paid authors. Visit different
blogs on a regular basis, and see which ones are looking for paid
authors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Those were some of the killer ways you could make money. It isn't easy,
except for the last one, but if you get them right, you can be raking in
bucks. And it never hurts to learn something that's not on your course

Should you join DFP small business to display AdSense ads?</h2>
<div align="justify">
<img align="left" alt="DFP small business" border="0" height="60" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-zEWBSTht45k/T_Xax9xpeVI/AAAAAAAAG4o/flWPwZt3mzc/image%25255B7%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: left; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="DFP small business" width="420" />Since <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/pressrel/doubleclick.html" target="_blank">March 2008</a> when Google acquired <a href="http://www.google.com/dfp" target="_blank">DoubleClick for Publishers</a> (<strong>DFP</strong>) for <span style="color: green;"><strong>US $3.1 billion</strong></span>,
AdSense publishers have become more inquisitive on how this system
works and whether it can help them maximize their AdSense revenue and
bypass the Ad display restriction and limits like showing more than
three AdSense content units per page. We received many emails regarding
this ad management service. After a thorough research and contacting a
Google agent directly, we are publishing this article to clear several
misconceptions revolving around this topic. Both <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2009/12/wordpress-or-blogger-which-one-is-best.html" target="_blank">Blogger and Wordpress users</a> who have implemented multiple Ad units per page via DFP on their blogs are advised to read this guide carefully. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<h3>
What is DFP Small Business?</h3>
<div align="justify">
DoubleClick is a digital marketplace that connects ad agencies, marketers and Web site publishers( <em>people like you and me </em>).
It is indeed a complete toolkit to manage ads, including streamlined
trafficking, targeting, advanced forecasting and reporting, revenue
optimization, and direct access to advertisers</div>
<div align="justify">
It is helpful for those publishers that are using multiple ad networks besides AdSense and wants to manage <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/03/how-to-add-adsense-anywhere-in-blog.html" target="_blank">ad placements</a>
through a common control panel. If you set an ad inventory using DFP,
the advertisers can directly choose to display their ads on your spot no
matter they are using adwords or other networks like chitika. You can
also set up a minimum CPC price for the inventory. DFP then lets
advertisers compete/bid for that ad space and then it will display the
best paying ad. Suppose if chitika was paying a higher CPC for an Ad as
compared to AdSense then your ad spot will display Ads from chitika
network instead of AdSense and vice versa. </div>
<div align="justify">
Watch the video below to see how it works:</div>
<h3>
Benefits of DFP</h3>
There are three major benefits of using DoubleClick that are worth noticing:<br />
<ol>
<li> <strong>Maximize your website revenue:</strong>
Since advertisers bid for you ad spot therefore you get highest-paying
ads available that increases your earning potential for the selected
spot. This does not mean it will increase your AdSense or any other
network earning significantly<strong>.</strong> <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/07/should-you-join-dfp-small-business-to.html#adsense">Read this</a><br />
</li>
<li> <strong>Largest network of online advertisers</strong><br />
</li>
<li> <strong>Greater Control:</strong>
You control over when, where, and to whom your ads deliver. They have
some extremely useful tools for ad serving, reporting and optimization
which are worth trying and saves a lot of time<strong>.</strong> The system is surely automated. Once you setup inventories, rest all serving is done by DFP system.<br />
</li>
</ol>
<h3>
Who should join it?</h3>
DFP
is worth trying only if you are using multiple ad networks and you are
running a large website with growing traffic and thousands of pageviews
per day. It is also useful for those whose websites or blogs have the
potential to attract direct sponsors. If your website displays direct
ads both banner and contextual then this system would work best for you
to find thousands of such interested advertisers.<br />

</ul>
<strong><u>What do you mean by multiple Ad Networks?</u></strong><br />
If
besides AdSense you use any other ad network for generating income then
you can choose to use DFP. You may probably be using one of these <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/06/lost-adsense-account-how-to-get-it-back.html" target="_blank">popular AdSense alternatives</a> and if not then <span style="color: red;"><strong>DFP is not for you</strong></span>:<br />

<li><a href="http://www.eclickz.com/">eClickZ</a></li>
</ol>
<strong><u>What do you mean by a large website?</u></strong><br />
A webpage with strong online authority, active readership, above 10K pageviews (<em>optional</em>) and frequent post updates. Any website where you would love to advertise your product!<br />
<h3>
How to start using DFP?</h3>
If you qualify for it then to start you will find the following links useful:<br />
<ul>

<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/dfp" target="_blank">DFP official YouTube channel</a></li>
</ul>
To learn how to setup DFP on your site watch this extremely useful video created by <a href="http://www.labnol.org/internet/google-dfp-tutorial/14099/" target="_blank">Amit agarwal</a> who I assume is currently using DFP on his blog:<br />
<h3>
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="adsense">Can it increase your AdSense Earnings?</a></h3>
<strong>Of course yes and of course not!</strong> <br />
<div align="justify">
If
you have clearly understood the explanation and descriptions above then
it might have become clear to most of you that DFP increases overall
revenue of your website and not just AdSense or any other specific
network. Your AdSense ads will not appear on that zone all the time,
they will appear on that spot only if AdSense is paying you high for
that keyword/ad compared to other networks. So clicks made on that zone
will be collective revenue made from all those networks which appeared
on your site. This system will surely increase the potential revenue
collectively from all these networks and let you <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/04/top-ways-of-earning-money-in-2012.html" target="_blank">make more money</a> from direct advertisers and multiple networks. </div>
<h3>
What Microsoft and others feared?</h3>
After
the purchase of DoubleClick for Publishers, Google biggest rivals such
as Microsoft and AT&T Inc. stress a lot on Law officials to strictly
monitor this business deal because they feared that it could give
Google too much control over online advertising so there were high
privacy concerns. DFP is often blamed for sending malware and using
spyware. But as usual Google put down all such allegations and <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/07/19/idUSN1832669720070719" target="_blank">won the case</a>. <br />
You can now confidently use this service normally like you use other Google services.<br />
<h3>
Can you display more than 3 AdSense units with DFP?</h3>
If
you are already running three Adsense for content units on your blog
and you have have also installed a DFP ad placement on your blog then
there are chances that if an Adsense Ad appears on your DFP spot, you
will encounter<strong> 4 AdSense ad units per webpage</strong> which strictly does not comply with <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/06/adsense-strict-program-policies-on.html" target="_blank">Adsense Program policies</a>. <br />
No
matter whatever service or software you use, displaying 3 content units
is the maximum you can show, exceeding this limit would take small
publishers into disqualification without any doubts. <br />
At present following are the ad limits per webpage:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Adsense for content:</strong> 3 units at most</li>
<li><strong>Adsense Link units:</strong> 3 units at most</li>
<li><a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/05/how-to-connect-two-pages-to-use-google.html" target="_blank">Adsense for Search (CSE):</a> 2 Search boxes at most. </li>
</ul>
Kindly
comply with these limits and avoid applying new ways offered by others.
Be selective on what you read and carefully follow people you trust as
authority. <br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Read:</strong> <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/04/top-tips-for-optimizing-google-adsense.html" target="_blank">Best Tips to optimize Adsense on your blog</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>
Do we use DFP for MBT?</h3>
You
might have observed that we are displaying Four AdSense units per page
but this does not mean we are using DFP. Premium AdSense publishers have
some special privileges and we therefore use them carefully. <br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Read</strong>: <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/05/display-four-adsense-content-ad-units.html" target="_blank">How to display Four AdSense Content Ad units?</a></li>
</ul>
<div align="justify">
We
are not yet using DoubleClick ad serving. We are still working on
building traffic on our second blog and once this year's target is
achieved we will surely dive into the pool of this largest advertising
network ever. MBT though qualifies for DFP but so far we are really
happy with AdSense and our experience with chitika or any other network
has not been so pleasing therefore as long as AdSense remains our
highest paying sponsor we wont need looking at alternatives. </div>
<h3>
Do you qualify for DFP?</h3>
<div align="justify">
Now when you have learnt almost every thing related to this hot forum topic that has been widely discussed at <a href="http://adsense.blogspot.com/2012/06/become-dfp-expert-using-our-new-dfp.html" target="_blank">official AdSense blog</a>,
so what have you decided? Do you qualify to apply for DFP and if yes
then kindly share the ad networks that you are using besides AdSense.
Share your experiences and tell us how far this tool could help big
publishers. I just hope this little effort on our behalf proves helpful
for most of you. Take good care of yourselves and your loved ones. Peace
and blessings. : )</div>

10 Popular Blog Topics that will Make you More Money in 2012</h2>
<div align="justify">
<img align="left" alt="top 10 topics to blog about" border="0" height="222" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-FRu99Vv5P_k/T_hQwYRtbGI/AAAAAAAAALY/ffFKOHfs-Vg/top%25252010%252520topics%252520to%252520blog%252520about%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="top 10 topics to blog about" width="268" />The thought of <a href="http://http//www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/03/presentation-at-fast-university-folio3.html" target="_blank">becoming an entrepreneur</a>
and building your own empire in no time was a dream few years back, but
with online money making opportunities today, it is all possible. The
urge to start a blog and becoming rich and popular at the same time is
increasing day by day, resulting in producing thousands of Newbie
Bloggers each week. However, it greatly disappoints them when soon they
realize that their blog would hardly generate any revenue for them,
forcing them to leave this domain to earn money.<br />
</div>
It’s important to figure out about the most productive niches that
generate maximum revenue, even before planning to start a blog. What
happens for example is, a person might be a good painter and plans to
share his painting techniques and his creations on his blog. The idea is
appreciable if we talk in terms of talent, but such a blog would hardly
attract any traffic. The reason behind this is, the global change is
making lives busy where people do not have time to read about your
skills, but are in search of fulfilling their own thirst.<br />
<br />
<div align="justify">
Many of our readers have been complaining since a long time that their
blogs are not paying them anything, so here is something they need to
check about their blogs.</div>
<div align="justify">
If you are looking forward to high profits in return of easy blogging,
you must first know which niche to choose as your blog topic.</div>
<h3 align="justify">
10.Health </h3>
<div align="justify">
<img align="right" alt="health related blogs" border="0" height="191" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-9pWCb88xUus/T_hQxgaPNRI/AAAAAAAAALg/MpKjCxCrG1U/health%252520related%252520blogs%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="health related blogs" width="167" />As
the world going online, people are now interested to find solutions for
their health related matters online. This blogging niche enjoys an open
traffic where there are no barriers of culture, state or society. A
person from Pakistan would be equally interested to know about the
remedy for losing his weight as a person from USA. If you have a command
on medicine and fitness related issues and think you have the
potentials to provide people worth-reading and then worth-following tips
regarding fitness and Health, then you will see a huge traffic
following your blog in no time.</div>
<h3 align="justify">
9.Fashion</h3>
<div align="justify">
<img align="left" alt="learn about fashioon on blogs" border="0" height="160" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-CaBH_R3U8aE/T_hQy34SsbI/AAAAAAAAALo/SXtrqDM0_nA/learn%252520about%252520fashioon%252520on%252520blogs%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="learn about fashioon on blogs" width="206" />Health
and fitness blogs are mostly visited only by those who are either going
through some disease or are way to curious to learn tips for their
fitness. But above health blogs, comes Fashion. Knowing about health is
need but learning all about fashion is addiction. If you have got that
glamorous side of yours and enjoy learning and sharing about Fashion
trends leading the society, you can really earn huge money with it.
People all over the world find internet as the most easiest access to
know about fashion and follow it.</div>
<h3 align="justify">
8.Relationships</h3>
<div align="justify">
<img align="right" alt="relationship blogs" border="0" height="149" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-G3WkE4WOuOE/T_hQ0JuAqeI/AAAAAAAAALw/lWS19RZDbT0/relationship%252520blogs%25255B10%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: right; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="relationship blogs" width="156" />Recent
statistics have shown that 90% of the people have an emotional part in
their personalities that leaves an effect on the entire life per fifteen
hours a day as an average. People find internet as the most secure way
to improve their relationships, believing in the idea of self-aiding
learning online about professional working relationships, love
relationships and getting advises from people around the globe.
According to the latest reveals, blogs with this domain enjoy huge
traffic.</div>
<h3 align="justify">
7.Finance</h3>
<div align="justify">
<img align="left" alt="finance blogs" border="0" height="122" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-gDPmVsC3c18/T_hQ1RW_scI/AAAAAAAAAL4/bfseSO_HjIU/finance%252520blogs%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="finance blogs" width="172" />Man’s
love for Money will last till the end of this world. This common nature
of people to learn ways to double their money forces them to search
about such methods. Blogs having a domain related to ways of improving
their finances and helping them setting up their own business, telling
ways to manage their money always appeal them, further generating good
traffic for a blog.</div>
<h3 align="justify">
6. Question and Answer Blogs</h3>
<div align="justify">
<img align="right" alt="question and answer blogs" border="0" height="164" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-mIZdyk7UwiU/T_hQ2uOy_JI/AAAAAAAAAMA/UUykbLJRTTc/question%252520and%252520answer%252520blogs%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: right; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="question and answer blogs" width="167" />Let
us go back to school to make the concept clear. Which teacher you
preferred to visit the most in times of need, the one who always had a
solution for your problems or the one who used to tell you to “come
later”? We all have same views about it I hope. Similarly, starting a
blog with a niche of active question and answer session will soon
generate considerable revenue for you. People look forward to places
where they can be listened and can get their queries been answered. Just
like answer.com, you can start a question and answer blog and make real
dollars with it!</div>
<h3 align="justify">
5. Celebrities</h3>
<div align="justify">
<img align="left" alt="all about celebrities on blogs" border="0" height="128" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-4Zq2_qBTIXM/T_hQ4ZM58sI/AAAAAAAAAMI/WcrnJ5x964A/all%252520about%252520celebrities%252520on%252520blogs%25255B4%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: left; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="all about celebrities on blogs" width="240" />The
easiest- yet the most interesting niche to adopt in a blogging career
is undoubtedly to start writing reviews, updates, latest photos and
everything associated with them, is the celebrities. The best part about
this domain is, all you need to have as your qualifications to rule is
your interest in entertainment world</div>
<h3 align="justify">
4. Buy and sell</h3>

shopping has taken up the physical market with a great pace. Now you
choose all what you want to buy from your living room and get it
delivered at your doorsteps. If you have the ability to work like a
middle man, establishing a forum similar to olx.com, you can attract
bulk of visitors each day. </div>
<h3 align="justify">
3. Social Media</h3>
<div align="justify">
<img align="left" alt="social media blogs" border="0" height="153" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ODW8wS3iDaU/T_hQ63Y1HZI/AAAAAAAAAMY/zDFabsTSKnU/social%252520media%252520blogs%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: left; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="social media blogs" width="177" />This
post will be too less to describe the power of social media at this
time of life where one might not have a bank account but must be having
three or four accounts on different social networking websites. Due to
the huge number of Social media users, the sites that write about every
single happening on Social media get the most of the benefit. Take an
example of Mashable.com. What do you think is the reason for the success
of this site? It can’t be uniqueness, there are much better unique
sites available than it, it can’t also be a good grammar, as even I have
been noticing grammatical mistakes in the posts plenty of times. Then
what makes it a hit? It’s the domain of the blog! People want to know
each and everything about their social media. Therefore, picking this
niche to start a blog is one of the best choices available among the
most productive niches.</div>
<h3 align="justify">
2. Technology</h3>
<div align="justify">
<img align="right" alt="technology blogs" border="0" height="147" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-4Ph207_5Ry8/T_hQ8Hd8UkI/AAAAAAAAAMg/kZCZTHeTjQk/technology%252520blogs%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="technology blogs" width="171" />Techcrunch.com
has been making Millions of Dollars each year by simply cashing its
niche. In this Hi-tech world, staying up to date with the latest
technology been revealed in the market is mandatory. Moreover, the
biggest benefit of choosing this niche as your blogging topic is , when a
new gadget/device is launched in to the market, it automatically
creates a hype, big enough to bring visitors to your blog to know more
about it. This happens every time-little too often, ensuring a
continuous inflow of money.</div>
<h3 align="justify">
1. Blogging Tips</h3>
<div align="justify">
<img align="left" alt="bloggingtips websites" border="0" height="131" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-XBOnFAtZExg/T_hQ9sUasqI/AAAAAAAAAMo/OtRk8ZsF0pw/bloggingtips%252520websites%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: left; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="bloggingtips websites" width="191" />Blogging
has recently become too popular even in the developing countries. The
best sources to learn for the new bloggers are the blogs themselves.
Just like MBT, blogs having a domain of sharing tips and tricks, making
blogging easy with tutorials and everything related to blogging world
are earning considerably large at this time. However, such domains
require you to have the capability and knowledge about web designing and
web development so that whatever content you share, it gains
reliability for you from your readers.</div>
<div align="justify">
The decisions you take on initial stages while starting a business,
decides the future of it, therefore always play it safe and think about
your potentials and pick the domain that goes most smooth with it.</div>
<div align="justify">
All the best</div>

<div class="post-title entry-title">
<span style="font-size: small;">No, we aren't going to talk about doomsday predictions here, nothing of the sort. But we <i>are</i> gonna talk about how you can start a new life in the world of blogging (ironic huh?). <span style="background-color: white;">Blogging is becoming more and more common these days. There's a blog about virtually everything. And not without reason. </span><a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/04/should-you-make-blogging-your-career.html" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">Blogging</a><span style="background-color: white;"> is a great way to express and share your thoughts with the world. Most use a </span><a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/01/requirements-to-make-money-through.html" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">blog to earn money</a><span style="background-color: white;">. In fact, a blog is one of the best ways you can </span><a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/04/top-ways-of-earning-money-in-2012.html" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">earn money online</a><span style="background-color: white;">.
And businesses use blogs to promote their products and services, and
grow a customer/audience base. A blog is a major tool for promoting a
brand. Hence, there are lots of benefits of blogging, especially in this
era. If you don't already have a blog, now would be the best time to
start!</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">There are so many blogs out there that some people think they are just
adding to the noise. And we totally agree. There are literally tonnes of
blogs that are low quality, poorly written, not very actively
maintained, or worst of all, are spammy. But just because there are
cheap blogs out there doesn't mean it is a reason not to start blogging.
Which brings us to the question of the day; Why should you start
blogging? Why now, and not later? <br />
</span><h4>
The competition is growing!</h4>
Don't let that hinder you! Blogging is on the rise! If you don't go
along with the wave, you will get left behind! It is estimated that
hundreds of blogs are published every minute! You should create one too
before it is so late that you are unable to surface. Also, domains are
being scooped up really fast. Who knows, the domain you want to register
today might be gone tomorrow? Start blogging now! <br />
<h4>
Internet services have increased</h4>
There are tonnes of services out there that will help you instantly create a website or blog. Free publishing platforms such as <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/03/blogger-interface-upgraded-switch-back.html" target="_blank">Blogger</a>, <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2009/12/wordpress-or-blogger-which-one-is-best.html" target="_blank">WordPress</a> etc are the most widely used. Other than that, you can easily buy hosting and domain from services such as <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/01/hostgator-best-hosting-plans-for.html" target="_blank">HostGator</a>,
which also provide free site builder tools for you to get your site up
and running. There are other such internet services which makes life
easier for bloggers. So why hesitate when you can get job done as easily
as ever? <br />
<h4>
Google policy changes, now means business</h4>
This is the most important point I want to discuss about. Google <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/05/when-will-next-google-penguin-update.html" target="_blank">changes its algorithm</a> almost each year. This year, it was the <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/05/how-to-recover-from-google-penguin.html" target="_blank">Penguin</a> while last year, it was the <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/05/top-10-seo-strategies-to-protect-your.html" target="_blank">Panda</a>. <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/05/google-penguin-and-google-panda-penalty.html" target="_blank">Both these updates</a>
wrecked havoc among many websites and blogs. Before Penguin, people
didn't know what to do, and how to recover. But now, after Penguin,
Google has made it pretty clear that low quality websites or sites with
cheap or fake backlinks are going to be punished. This impacted a lot of
bloggers, who now have to work very hard to increase quality throughout
their sites. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwxKl3OphvvMdBo-sTnKYRfBr_Pr80pkpbJ7XugFUIh5gk_X-Awq5NCZFpye7nFmPadHvkRMGpSqyyCtsX9hid7bEczk9i3Mf5hjcuSxVV1NGADEbGmzdnSUGClUYDGvmAdMoBIx6j28yL/s1600/Google+policy+changes.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Google doesn't like being disturbed" border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwxKl3OphvvMdBo-sTnKYRfBr_Pr80pkpbJ7XugFUIh5gk_X-Awq5NCZFpye7nFmPadHvkRMGpSqyyCtsX9hid7bEczk9i3Mf5hjcuSxVV1NGADEbGmzdnSUGClUYDGvmAdMoBIx6j28yL/s320/Google+policy+changes.jpg" title="Google doesn't like being disturbed" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
But for those wanting to start now, this could prove to be beneficial.
They now know what Google wants. They won't be penalized. And so, they
can start with a fresh, clean record. Old bloggers will need to fish out
their old, low quality posts while new bloggers will have no such
problem! :) <br />
<h4>
Start today, earn tomorrow!</h4>
<div>
If you're into this stuff, then there's really no reason to hold back. If you start today, you will start <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/05/top-7-recommended-ways-to-make-money.html" target="_blank">earning tomorrow</a>.
Little by little, you can build your blog into a brand and start making
money. Don't hesitate about the time it'll take, because it will always
take a lot of time, and effort. That's the secret to blogging actually.
Time, and effort. Put in both, and over time, you'll see vivid results.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Always remember that everyone has to start from zero. Even pro-bloggers
started from zero, years and years ago. Some blogs are as old as 6 years
old. And their efforts have finally paid off. Now, they are earning
thousands of dollars monthly! Who knows, you could be the pro-blogger
everyone looks up to in four year's time? :)</div>

Why Every Freelancer Today Wants To Be A Blogger?</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Blogging with Freelancing" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy_X4MMASVy3QPvs3F-ZfW7GHVn_AAk8_8AovGYWz4t90xwR3xTpuDzRrbRgobbUDyKzQIa4ro63F9bB5ldmGxjC1nmLZNnCKp6vdQ27LVx-G18VwzkoJTW1KizwuxjAXZe2r9L4kQpjUb/s1600/freelancing+and+blogging.png" title="Blogging with Freelancing" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/10/5-tips-to-win-job-as-freelancer-for.html" target="_blank">Freelancing</a> and Blogging are among the many ways you can <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/04/top-ways-of-earning-money-in-2012.html" target="_blank">earn money online</a>. We have been sharing tips on both at this blog. But the question is, which one is better? Sure, they both have their share of <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/10/blogger-or-freelancer-time-to-choose.html" target="_blank">pros and cons</a>,
but the fact is, they are increasingly becoming inter-dependent. Most
freelancers are now aspiring to become bloggers at some level or
another. Why? Because it's their need of the hour! So the greater
question is, <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/04/should-you-make-blogging-your-career.html" target="_blank">should one start blogging as a career</a>?
Freelance work is increasingly demanding the presence of blogging,
which is why a lot of Freelancers are now bloggers as well. Here's why
you should blog if you are a freelancer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
An easier way to get yourself noticed</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Blogging gives freelancers an opportunity to represent themselves on a
whole new level. Let's face it, the idea of describing yourself in just
two lines in a profile is just ridiculous. Hence, when applying for a
freelancing job, that is when a blog comes in handy. Besides your bio
and portfolio, you can add a link to your blog. Now, you can tap into
the vast power of a blog, and show them your entire work. You can show
stuff that's not even related to the job you've bid for. This creates a
really positive impression, which is why many freelancers are now
starting to blog.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Getting noticed" border="0" height="128" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUfy5D4ohV2pT-lApdII3R0Ih6NVTbURJkSd1Vla1EKUQDVmTZ-ZynVslk8SDCFWvBxvcRP1JKsIn0cC6jnCRONJGBwzGWIUkoN6kcZREsHeGVAZ33X09r-1w_lTaDnduXJUoHwT0JdVEl/s320/Getting+noticed.jpg" title="Getting noticed" width="320" /></div>
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
More credibility</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Established bloggers have credibility. They have had contacts with
professional people, and they have gotten a name out for themselves, and
hence gained some recognition. They are also active on social media.
Now freelance clients always prefer giving a project to someone who
seems real enough, and whom they can contact through multiple channels
in case of an emergency.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Credibility" border="0" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_vvDroclv87fWu6u6m2Val6OZvDsLOZmoaAByLi2skorYlcFbMRLO46SjFUddidwpnhpTPm1d93_9VFCE2ex-uL56DdQ5gVrqi1s8x9q-AuiZwMa3_FR1-hQffwgDf8y9qnQkvDJw2h5w/s320/Credibility.gif" title="Credibility" width="320" /></div>
<br />
Take a case study for example. You want some work done, and you've had
some bids regarding your project. There's this guy who just has some bio
and profile filled out, and then there's another one who has linked to
his blog and social profiles, and has testimonials or references. Which
one of them would you hire? Or more precisely, whom will be easier to
trace, should there be any emergency? See what I mean? Having a blog
means you won't be running away, which provides some level of
security-comfort to the clients.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Bloggers are prioritized</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bloggers, and people with online presence are always prioritized. This
is because bloggers tend to have a broader perspective on thing
especially related to the internet, and they are open to ideas. Many
bloggers even have a skill-set regarding web-mastering, web designing,
working with graphics, and so on. Hence, in projects that require
multiple skill-sets, bloggers are preferred as their skills can easily
be judged from the blogs they manage. </div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Something new to learn</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Above all, blogging isn't just about writing. It's a lot more than that.
Freelancers or people who don't have a clue about web-design can start
blogging. But along the way, they get to learn new things, and new
technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. And these are
valuable skills to have, and expands the variety of jobs they can bid
for.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Enlighten yourself - Learn something new" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi905IU29sVTw5OcPqiQ1SAhkBvmAEVgnM4iILCY1kp3igNx1Wai4XiL__KUv8pHcLwlhbM22GSVvq_9ubYn-cnbdRpu8rf1g3WEbSMR9owR9gbb8pe6AK1mCB7k9IOgJJv-soV-mGeTlZ5/s1600/learn+something+new.jpg" title="Enlighten yourself - Learn something new" /></div>
<br />
Take a graphic designer for example, who earns his living through
freelancing. He might not know about web-development. But once he starts
blogging, he will start learning new things. Knowledge is something
that stays with you throughout your life. And using these newly-learned
skills, a freelancer can pick up the relevant jobs as well, in addition
to the jobs matching his previous skill-sets.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Additional sources of income</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then comes the money. We have discussed about <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/01/requirements-to-make-money-through.html" target="_blank">making money from a blog</a>
countless times. Blogging can prove to be a substantial source of
income if done for some time with hard work and dedication. A freelancer
does not know whether he will find work next month or not. But to a
blogger who has an established blog, this isn't a concern. Income from
blogs is more dependable, which is why blogging looks to freelancers
like a regular office job, but only one which can be done at home.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Additional income source" border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh40GR0XNExbh2s3D7MjZPPGRZ0trQJD1PqebtksaPT_I7QY7xLVmn_2UeGEWfPFq5pH2tCCdCbxOD4A8IUYsxRAAK-U_pphaiqi4eLkloQRB74y84Zx4uR_s2vGp6H3AReNnI2rUDnaqEX/s320/Additional+income+source.gif" title="Additional income source" width="320" /></div>
<br />
When it comes to <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/10/blogger-or-freelancer-time-to-choose.html" target="_blank">blogging vs freelancing</a>,
both offer real opportunities. But why not take advantage of both if
you can? Looking at the opportunities bloggers have, it's no wonder more
and more freelancers are coming over to this practice. If you are a
freelancers, then it definitely would be a good idea to at least try it
out. Who knows, it could be the break you've looking for :D. All the
best :)</div>

is true that today, the best business to start your career with is the
online business. Whether its blogging or freelancing, you can always
expect a quick return by investing simply nothing-but-time. However, all
the hopes come to an end when you realize that your country doesn’t
support PayPal. Take an example of freelancing; you might have noticed
many times that having a Pay Pal account is mentioned as a requirement
in the freelance offers. Even I have lost 5 good offers just because of
not having one. People have been looking for some good alternates to
PayPal and here is a new alternative!</div>
<div align="justify">
</div>
<div align="justify">
<h3 align="justify">
Heard of Payza?</h3>
<div align="justify">
If you are affiliated to any online business, you must have come across
Alertpay, which was also a good substitute of PayPal when it comes to
universal transactions. Payza has replaced Alertpay and is working as an
online processor website that allows you to have online transactions.
With your Payza account, your world becomes global, where you can buy
things online and at the same time can send and receive payments too.</div>
<div align="justify">
Being located in UK, with its headquarters in London, this corporate has
many regional offices in countries like India, Bangladesh, Sweden, etc.
To be accurate enough, there are 8 million members who are availing
their Payza accounts in their online business. What gives this alternate
extra privilege is that Payza covers 197 countries with 22 different
currencies where its services are functional.</div>
<h3 align="justify">
How to Send and Receive the Amount?</h3>
<div align="justify">
Payza makes the money transaction easier and efficient. All you need to
do is to create an online account on payza.com where you can open a
starter account for free initially. What happens when you transfer money
online is, some percent of the transacted amount is deduced as tax, and
it is here that you are exempted from it till your transactions do not
cross $2000. The last and the most important thing you should know
before moving on with it is, you have to verify your account before
receiving the money in your country. There are three genuine methods to
get your account verified and enjoy the online transaction in your
country</div>
<h3 align="justify">
1. Credit Card</h3>
<div align="justify">
Verifying your payza is easy with your <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/04/how-to-choose-credit-card-payment.html">credit card</a>. You need to open an account in a local bank that provides services internationally, if you are in <strong>Pakistan</strong> or <strong>India</strong>, Standard Charted or Citi Bank can be a good choice. These Banks allow you to enjoy online banking.</div>
<div align="justify">
Once done with that, log in to your payza account and add your credit
card on your account by clicking on “add credit card” option. This will
deduce some tax from your credit card but that is too small. Now that
your credit card gets linked with your account, you can make online
transactions with your credit card.</div>
<h3 align="justify">
2. Wire (Bank) Transfer</h3>
<div align="justify">
Although the credit cards are most efficient out of all where the
transactions take place in minutes, an alternate for those who do not
have a credit card is the verification through wire transfer. You must
have a local bank account for this. You just need to enter all details
in your payza account and the account will be automatically be verified
once you withdraw your money from your payza account and it reaches to
you within 4 business days.</div>
<h3 align="justify">
3) Check</h3>
<div align="justify">
You need to figure out your priorities first before choosing any method
among these three. This method is the longest of all and often takes
more than 30 days to transfer the money. You need to request your ID
card named check from Payza and have to submit it in your local bank.
The bank will process it and the money would be transferred to your
account after a long duration stated above. Payza also deduct $5 for
this method. Not only this, but depending on your local Bank’s policy,
some amount is deducted as fee too.</div>

Although there are some domains that are stuck to <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/01/how-to-buy-domain-with-unverified.html">PayPal,</a> the emerging alternatives are attracting many online earners with their services. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday, we talked about some <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2013/01/blogging-advice-2013.html" target="_blank">things you should consider</a> before starting off your blog in 2013, and in that, we discusses about some <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/05/top-10-seo-strategies-to-protect-your.html" target="_blank">SEO-related things</a>. For a lot of blogs out there, the major purpose is to <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/04/top-ways-of-earning-money-in-2012.html" target="_blank">make money</a>,
So today, we'll carry on the idea, and talk about Google AdSense. For
beginners as well as advanced users, the start of a new year would be a
good time to start thinking about your AdSense campaign. Are you making
the most out of your ads? Now would be a good time to review your ad
performance, and make changes accordingly. So here, we'll provide you
with a checklist of 6 things you can do to optimize AdSense and make the
most out of your ads.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
1. Are you utilizing your ad spots?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the first questions you should be asking yourself. AdSense won't
allow you to add as many ad units as you like. But are you even
utilizing all the ad-spots that it <i>does</i> allow? For every page on
your website, AdSense will only let you place three AdSense for content
units. These vary in size, so you can utilize the best possible
locations your ads can fit in. But you can only place one 300x600 ad
unit. Apart from this, you can use three text-ad units, and two AdSense
for for search boxes units. Before placing all these ad-units though,
take some time to consider whether you have a sizable quality content to
ad unit ratio. It just doesn't make sense if all the ad spots have been
used, but there is no actual content on that page.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
2. Take a look at your ad sizes</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Generally speaking, wide ad units tend to perform better than tall ones.
For example, the 728x90, 336x280, and 300x250 ad sizes are usually the
highest performers. You should try on multiple ad sizes, and find out
for yourself what works best for you. The ad size should also correspond
to the placement of your content. For example, a tall and thin ad-unit
doesn't make sense within a written post.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
3. Use text and images too</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Usually, publishers just focus on image ads, and forget about the other
options available. Adding text ads is a good idea as well, because they
compete with the image ad units for the same space. Using a combination
of text and image ads can help you earn a lot more.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
4. Add search boxes</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As mentioned above, image ads are not the only thing in the world.
AdSense will allow you two AdSense for search boxes units per page as
well. They let you place a custom search engine on your site to provide
users with web search. And you might earn from relevant ads on the
search results page.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
5. Make your ad units accessible</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pay special attention to where you actually place your ad units. They
should complement, and fit in with your content. And also, users should
be able to easily identify and access them. Generally, ads should be
above-the-fold. Google offers a lot of <a href="http://support.google.com/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1282097&topic=2717009&ctx=topic&sourceid=aso&subid=ww-en-et-asblog_2013-01-15&medium=link" target="_blank">guidelines</a> to help you place your ads.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
6. Check out color combinations</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last, but not the least, use trial and error, and play around with
various color schemes and ad styles. They can play a big part in how
much revenue you earn. There are three strategies you can choose from.
Blend, Compliment, and contrast. Compliment is normal placement, where
ad units are used within content, and are distinguishable. Blending ad
units into content means using the same colors, so that it is hard to
distinguish the ad unit. Contrast means you use contrasting colors that
scream out an ad-unit's presence. You can use any of those, as long as
you follow the <a href="http://support.google.com/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1282097&topic=2717009&ctx=topic&sourceid=aso&subid=ww-en-et-asblog_2013-01-15&medium=link" target="_blank">guidelines</a> from Google.</div>

<h2 class="post-title entry-title" style="text-align: center;">
Add AdSense right After <!--More--> Tag</h2>
<br />
<div align="justify">
<img align="left" alt="Adsense positioning in blogger" border="0" height="160" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-eZB7fv4VQfA/USu5SWdQgDI/AAAAAAAAJRc/5Nlrh0jswm0/image%25255B7%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; float: left; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Adsense positioning in blogger" width="400" />This
is a great tutorial which will multiply your current click through rate
and add a new boom to your over all Adsense earning. With a big
repository of plugins for Wordpress blogs like <strong>Quick Adsense</strong>,
WP users never need to worry while adding Adsense to any part of the
blog they wish but in blogger we lack plugins that could do the job
automatically. Therefore this week my main focus lies in developing more
of such plugins that could provide you great front end experience.
Thanks our developer Ahmed Nasir the script developed this time will
automatically insert your AdSense Ad right after the opening paragraph
(Post summary) or the <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2009/09/attractive-read-more-button-images-for.html" target="_blank">read more button</a>(Jump Break). The read more link is distinguished by the HTML tag "<em><strong><!--more--></strong></em>"
, we will use a simple Jquery code to tell the browser to append an Ad
zone with a unique div ID, right before the more tag. In browsers where
JavaScript is disabled the Ad zone will instead display at the end of
post. You can see the demo on our blog, right after reading this line...
</div>
<div align="justify">
(<em>You will see below a 468X60 Adsense for content Ad</em>).</div>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">Update:</span> I have disabled the Ad display for browsers where JavaScript is disabled.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Installing the Script on Blogger</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go to Blogger > Templates </li>
<li>Backup your template </li>
<li>Tick the "Expand Widget Templates" box </li>
<li>Search for <head> </li>
<li>Just below it paste the following JQuery code<span style="color: red;"><strong> only</strong></span> if you are not yet using jQuery script on your blog </li>
</ol>
<blockquote>
<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'/></blockquote>
6. Next paste the following code below <head> <br />
<blockquote>
<script type='text/javascript'> <br />
$(document).ready(function(){ <br />
<br />
$(&#39;a[name=&quot;more&quot;]&#39;).before($(&#39;#MBT-google-ad&#39;).html()); <br />
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">$(&#39;#MBT-google-ad&#39;).html(&#39;&#39;);</span></strong> <br />
<br />
}); <br />
</script></blockquote>
<strong>Optional:</strong> If you want to display the ad at two places i.e. below read more tag and also at the end of post then delete the <span style="background-color: yellow;">highlighted yellow code</span>. Also delete the yellow highlighted code from step#8 given below <br />
7. Now search the following code: <br />
<blockquote>
<data:post.body/></blockquote>
8. Just below it paste the following code: <br />
<blockquote>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'> <br /><span style="background-color: yellow;"><strong><div style="display:none;"></strong></span><br />
<div id='MBT-google-ad'> <br /><br/> <br /><center> <br /><strong>ADD ENCODED ADSENSE CODE HERE </strong></center> <br /><br/> <br /></div><br />
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow;"></div></span> </strong></b:if></blockquote>
Replace the<strong> bolded text</strong> above with your Adsense code.
Remember that the code that you copy from your Google Adsense Account
must be first encoded inorder to work with blogger templates. Simply
copy the code and then encode it using the following MBT tool. <br />
<ul>
<li>Encode your AdSense code using: <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2008/10/convert-special-html-characters-to.html" target="_blank">MBT HTML Encoder</a> </li>
</ul>
Copy the encoded code from MBT HTML encoder and then paste it on the bolded text that says: <strong>ADD ENCODED ADSENSE CODE HERE </strong> <br />
9. Save your template and you are all done! <br />
Visit your blog and then visit any post page, you will see an Ad hanging
just perfectly right after the first opening Summary paragraph. :) <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyV1gJMPKyyaLVKgbji8VauidtIAuDAtYKiimED8UEMCbOb_PutNx_fhemnKg3Y36VRFRJRL-XUsovD5rEp3rqakGr0j8fOpKwAZkqDo3ddhjMGKx6Z26OnKEf6nt_bWNITBt9Yc8yl3Yp/s320/make+money+online.jpg" width="320" /></div>
Most bloggers will start off their venture in the hopes of earning big
from their blogs. And not without reason either. Multitudes of people
are earning a decent sum online. You can too. Earning money from your
blog while sitting at home is like a dream for most, and yet, is a
reality for many as well. It isn't difficult, it just needs some
dedication, and the right guidance. In this post, well talk about monetizing your blog to make money online.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Google AdSense</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google AdSense is perhaps the most widely known advertising network, so
much so that a lot of people, especially new bloggers don't know of any
others except Google AdSense. So quite naturally, it'll be the first
thing they apply to. Agreeably, Google AdSense is a good starter for
beginners, and every blogger should try it at one point or another.
However, for earning real hard cash, you'll need to look into some other
networks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google AdSense is mostly a CPC network. CPC stands for Cost Per Click,
and means that you get a certain amount for every click you get on your
ads. You can also employ CPM (Cost Per Impression) as an AdSense
publisher. CPM gives you a certain amount on the completion of a set
Impressions target (for example $0.1 for every 1000 Impressions or views
on your ads).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<h3>
BuySellAds</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google AdSense is good in as far as 'getting-the-wheel-turning' is
concerned. But these days, almost every other website is getting
approved by Google AdSense, which has driven the ad-space and
competition up, and the cost down. That's why you get so little revenue
per click.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is where BuySellAds comes in. BSA does not operate like Google
AdSense. Instead, they are Direct Ads. There's a marketplace where you
get listed once you pass the BSA criterion of having over 60,000 unique
pageviews per month. Advertisers can then pick you from the list, and
choose you for hosting their ads based on your niche. This is one of the
reasons why you should have a clearly defined niche, because it'll then
be easier for sponsors for your niche to find your blog and advertise
with it. Once you get picked, you get paid for putting up an ad for a
certain period of time. Simple, yet effective. BSA is one of the biggest
source of income for many intermediate to professional bloggers out
there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<h3>
Affiliate Ads</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Affiliate Ads are yet another form of advertising, and they are based on
compensations/commissions. The idea is, you promote a product or a
service, get people to actually buy it, and then you get a certain sum
as a reward for 'referring' that buyer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This concept is pretty widely used now. Companies need to grow, and for
that, they need customers. They'll do anything to get customers, which
is why most online products and services, and even some offline
companies too offer rewards for referrals. If you do it right, affiliate
marketing can become your single largest source of income.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We here at MBT often share discount coupons from <a href="http://go.mybloggertricks.com/hostgator" target="_blank">HostGator</a>
with our readers. HostGator in this case is acting as the host company,
and will reward anyone who can bring in customers for it. If you visit
their homepage, you will see how you can even earn $2000+ in one month
just from referrals!</div>

Major Changes To AdSense Terms and Conditions</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Google AdSense TOS" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAqJ1D6RNx4Yr7Ja-L_ESn7x3QA0LC6nvaBB3BsMZ2Q-YiBfN9XzAqPwIFcz5lBY_F97TlsgLvkvJ8gv0YJrjU353kJ8CuoTnVY239XQ-ZbOgox-wuPUfXGURLCLVwHmvwlyFQZWRKXRWq/s1600/google+AdSense+tos.jpg" title="Google AdSense TOS" /></div>
Google AdSense is a very large advertising solution for publishers, probably one of the best of its kind. With the addition of various features to the AdSense service, Google has had to update its <a href="http://www.smartearningmethods.com/google-tos-explained/" target="_blank">Terms of Service</a>,
as much has changed since they were last drafted. Google has made a few
changes to the AdSense Terms and Conditions, and the updated terms can
be seen by logging into an AdSense account. Users have to accept these
new terms if they want to continue using AdSense. We'll review the major
changes made in these terms for you..<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the looks of it, the changes in the terms and conditions aren't
radical - nothing that will change user-experience. But there are,
however, changes worth noting, especially for people living in the Asia
Pacific region. And users, after-all, have to re-accept the terms and
conditions before they can use the service again.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As per Google AdSense <a href="http://www.smartearningmethods.com/google-tos-explained/" target="_blank">current terms and conditions</a>,
Google is obliged to notify users at least 30 days before any change in
its TOS (Terms of Service), so these new updates won't take effect
until next month.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When logging in to your account after the changes have been made, you’ll
see a notification that presents you with the updated Terms and prompts
you to accept them. Within this notification, you can view the new
terms and conditions in detail. Note, that one of your account
administrators must accept the updated Terms in order for you to access
your account and use the AdSense product.</div>
<h3>
Changes in the Terms and Conditions</h3>
<b>Mobile properties</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The influence and popularity of mobile web has grown tremendously, and
is the trend for 2013. As a result, Google AdSense is now trying to
expand their Terms in order to cover mobile properties. These will also
incorporate guidelines for using products like the AdMob SDK, and Google
Affiliate Network etc.</div>
<br />
<b>For people in the Asia-Pacific region</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For user accounts based in the Asia-Pacific region, Google AdSense is in
the process of transitioning those accounts from Google, Inc. or Google
Ireland Ltd. to Google Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. This step aims at
improving better regional support for payment issues, but will not
effect the way payments are handled. You can view the <a href="https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/2847672" target="_blank">list of countries now under Google Asia Pacific here</a>.</div>
<br />
<b>Transparency and clarity</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The goal of these new Terms is to ensure transparency, and to make
things as clear as possible to the users. As a result, Google AdSense is
trying to make it easier for users to navigate and find what they're
looking for.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

feel free to talk to us in the comments section below. Cheers :)</div>

5 Major Differences Between A Blog And Website</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<img alt="man confused" border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlDoTVunBYFg6Vln6ledaJa9zmqKtCM3kA5WEucCB3SZlqvgmyBC0Hs-4CbrAfRKjr0wWudorgIYsHcGnm9eGkB5fwt66RMtyoi4KpmTKlEvOvhHuIImHkzBJosOVOkLy5SiItCWF891g/s200/manConfused.jpg" width="142" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Differences between a blog and a website are highly searched in today's online arena. <b>Blogging/blog</b>
words are so intensely used around the net, that many newbies get stuck
on the point here. So i thought why not to mention the basic
differences between the two ways by which we can publish our content
online.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To summarize, blog is a type of a website (We<b>b log</b>= Blog). Website is a general term. (site on web=website). You might have heard about those static sites and dynamic sites.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That idea supports the <b>Blog vs Website theory</b>. There are few
technical differences, as to how the data is presented to the readers.
We would also discuss couple of reasons due to which blogs are highly
considered now days, to present data online.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And yea, if you are wondering about the <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/11/make-ebook-beginners-guide-to-pdf-ebook.html">eBook series</a>,
its not finished yet. In fact we are onto the interesting part. So stay
tuned for it in the coming days. Its always better to change some
taste. Isn't it?<br />
<br />
<h3>
Blog vs Website-Characteristics Match up</h3>
According to Wikipedia, a blog is as follows:<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzMhDfR9jMZobXqqWlPejtR6KjUAaXBfR2XLGqZiQLlz6odu0NHXe-az_HMBVADPGF7yS8Vwwcbwfg0ULwyv1pdWBAIKNVfpndtDxWV0fBF2zP8qNJPbrteu_n8OpTnR6g28hOdoHWzW0/s1600/wiki.gif" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Wikipedia" border="0" height="123" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzMhDfR9jMZobXqqWlPejtR6KjUAaXBfR2XLGqZiQLlz6odu0NHXe-az_HMBVADPGF7yS8Vwwcbwfg0ULwyv1pdWBAIKNVfpndtDxWV0fBF2zP8qNJPbrteu_n8OpTnR6g28hOdoHWzW0/s200/wiki.gif" width="200" /></a><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A <b>blog</b> (a blend of the term <i><b>web log</b></i>) is a type of website or part of a website supposed to be updated with new content from time to time</blockquote>
<br />
Blogs are generally more informally presented to the visitors. The language used is <b>often much simpler</b>
than on websites. (though its not necessary as many webmasters now have
started to use simpler language, to make their view point clear to a
wider range of people, around the globe.) <br />
<br />
In blogs, there is a thing called posts, as what you are reading now.
Every post have its own static page (as the url suggests), but the main

on their blogs main (home) page. Where as there is nothing such in a
static website. Even if a website is about tutorials (like <i>Lisa Arby's</i> popular website, <i>2createawebsite.com</i>). The website was launched years ago, when the blogging wasn't quite into the online world.<br />
<br />
She did a pretty neat job with the sequence of the content. Interlinking
was perfect. You could take a look to that site, in order to get to
know the feel of a static website.<br />
<br />
The major difference between the two types, blog and a static website is about the <b>content refreshment</b>.
The major content of website remains the same. Though the webmaster
could add additional pages to the website to increase the content, but
the order by which the information is presented could not be later
changed. (isn't changed).<br />
<br />
Thats where blog have started to gain popularity. Have you ever thought
about the way you search internet now days? You either follow a
specific, popular blog right away (through bookmarks) or in most cases,
you search search engines. <br />
<br />
Search engines help you to get to a specific question (like how to add
bla bla to blogger). It would take you to the static page, with the best
information of the particular topic, either it comes from blog or
website. So the content is basically searched the same way as before
(through search engines), but blogs provide a <b>different dimension</b> to the way information is presented. <br />
<br />
Another huge aspect of blogs due to which people have adopted them, are
their ability to get crawled by search engines frequently. As the posts
are updated on daily basis (sometimes many times in a day), so <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2010/06/google-crawls-this-blog-every-minute.html">search engines crawl blogs many times a day</a> in order to fetch new content.<br />
<br />
<b>To summarize a blog:</b><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Blogs provide commenting system </li>
<li>Updated almost daily</li>
<li>Articles appearing in reverse-chronological order</li>
<li>Frequently crawled by Search Engines</li>
<li> Often covers a wide variety of articles</li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAZcUjOj81SaeJQYnM0ULNLICmZYMFaofqjk3bfdEf7bxMGs68sZ8Ldz267ZINofceOoF9hpikfPziVoCRpq5P8sJrKVes3_GfuwO9XQ6W4KMT4gFGiwJzj3O0LHlbD6FQLnlgaJxhfvo/s1600/google-crawlers.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="google bots crawlers" border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAZcUjOj81SaeJQYnM0ULNLICmZYMFaofqjk3bfdEf7bxMGs68sZ8Ldz267ZINofceOoF9hpikfPziVoCRpq5P8sJrKVes3_GfuwO9XQ6W4KMT4gFGiwJzj3O0LHlbD6FQLnlgaJxhfvo/s400/google-crawlers.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Consider a any static website, say on a topic '<i>Make Money Online</i>'.
So the general idea of the content would revolve around the said topic.
Where as blogs are often vast in nature. Blogs publish them as e.g,
Technology blog. So you would get to know about every unique/latest
technologies through different posts.<br />
<br />
Blogs are more like newspapers. Covering a vast variety of topics.<br />
<br />
To get slightly off topic here, MBT guest author, <i>Aiman Khan</i>, recently posted : <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/11/how-to-find-ideas-for-blog-posts-daily.html">How To Find Ideas For Blog Posts Daily?</a>.
So while writing this posts, i feel like making another one for
'Importance of Blog over a Website'. :) As there are many things that i
should keep safe for the next posts.<br />
<br />
Differences between the two content sharing techniques could be better explained there. Hope this posts gave a general overview.<br />
<br />
Meet ya tomorrow! <br />

This plugin can be embedded in any website or blog and visitors can use
their IDs of Facebook, Yahoo, AOL or Hotmail to leave a comment at your
site. This plugin did show a lot of problems when it was embedded in
Blogger Blogs in initial days of its development but now thanks to our
fellow friend Max from <a href="http://allblogtools.com/" target="_blank">Allblogtools</a>
this plugin has been finally bloggerized to work just perfect with any
Blogger hosted blogs. I have edited Max's coding in some areas and have
mentioned some more interesting options that will help you use the <i><span style="color: green;"><b>Facebook comments</b></span> <span style="color: green;"><b>box</b></span></i> in parallel to your old <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2009/12/customize-blogger-comment-form-make-it.html" target="_blank">Blogger Comment form</a> so that you may loose no previous comments and provide users with multiple options of commenting from different platforms. </div>

<img alt="website" border="0" height="212" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Mx0MGX8hdts/Teu4DjUM25I/AAAAAAAADtE/42lIxhaMW0w/website%25255B7%25255D.gif?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="website" width="554" /><br />

by default. One of the problems I noticed with it was the load time. I
then shifted to this new like button which loads like a flash at my
internet connection speed. If you wish to add this new like button code
just below the post titles of your blogger blogs then follow these easy
steps:</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Adding Facebook Like Button To Blogger</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go To Blogger > Design > Edit HTML </li>
<li>Backup your template </li>
<li>Click the "Expand Widgets Templates" Box </li>
<li>Search for this, </li>
</ol>
<blockquote>
<data:post.body/><br />
</blockquote>
5. Just above it paste the code below,<br />
<blockquote>
<iframe
allowTransparency='true'
expr:src='&quot;http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=&quot;
+ data:post.url +
&quot;&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=100&amp;
action=like&amp;font=arial&amp;colorscheme=light&quot;'
frameborder='0' scrolling='no' style='border:none; overflow:hidden;
width:100px; height:20px;'/> </blockquote>
6. Save your template and you are done!<br />
<br />
Visit your blog to see it working just fine just below post titles. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. <br />

just added Custom robots header tags to post editor. One of the
features of search preferences was robots.txt and Robots tags which
could be set only for homepage, archives, posts and pages. But now you
can edit these settings even for individual posts and pages right from
BlogSpot post editor. Unlike Meta Description,
Custom Robots Header tags are not visible and are not shown if you try
to check it by viewing the browser source file for your blog. You will
only see Meta Description if you have added the dynamic code. We will
learn today where are robots tags added in your templates and how can
you view them. Lets first find and locate these Robots header tags.</div>
<br />

<ins style="background-color: transparent; border: none; display: inline-table; height: 60px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 468px;"><ins id="aswift_1_anchor" style="background-color: transparent; border: none; display: block; height: 60px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 468px;"></ins></ins>

<h3>
Why Can't You See Robots Tags?</h3>
If you have applied custom robots flags by following the tutorial for Search Preferences,
then you would have observed that you don't see any flag appearing when
you view the source file of your blog. This is because that these flags
can be seen only in the <b>HTTP header fields</b>. Google now accepts robots tags which are directly added to the Headers of the HTML Page. To keep things simple, do this:<br />
<ol>
<li>After applying custom robots flags and activating it, visit your blog in <strong>Chrome</strong> </li>
<li>In chrome go to this path: <strong>Tools > Developer Tools > Networks</strong> (In Firefox it is<strong> : Tools > Web Developers > Web Console > Net</strong> ) </li>
<li>You will see several column fields as shown in the image below: </li>
</ol>
<img alt="developers tools" border="0" height="355" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-74oTimAVsb4/T3iIUpvjo0I/AAAAAAAAGOU/KHQu2ZpoCl4/image%25255B17%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="developers tools" width="557" /><br />
<strong> </strong>4.
At the top-left you will find URL of your blog. If you don't see any
data then simply refresh your blog without closing the Developers Tools
window, you will find information appearing.<br />
5. Click your blog URL and you will see<strong> </strong>two sections at your right. <strong>Request Headers</strong> and <strong>Response Headers</strong>. <br />
<img alt="x-robots-tag for blogger" border="0" height="576" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-hcFpnzXLxKo/T3iIWtY_GYI/AAAAAAAAGOc/38T4LcuB0Ss/image%25255B27%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="x-robots-tag for blogger" width="563" /><br />
6. Under the Response Headers you will see an <strong>X-Robots-Tag</strong>
header tag. This tag resembles the flags that you had set for your
homepage. In my case I have set the custom robots tags for your homepage
as <strong>All</strong> and <strong>noodp</strong> therefore it is appearing as <strong>X-Robots-Tag: all,noodp</strong><br />
The
tags for archives,search pages, posts and pages should look similar to
the above one but for some reasons I could locate the tags for homepage
alone. <br />
<h3>
Settings For Custom Robots Tags Headers</h3>
To see
header tags in post header you must first activate the custom headers.
If you have not yet activated then follow these steps. Go to <strong>Settings | Search Preferences</strong>, click <strong>Edit</strong> next to "Custom robots header tags," and select <strong>Yes</strong>. Activated Successfully!<br />
Now
you must learn when should you use them. Using them correctly can help
you rank better and using them at wrong scenarios can surely play the
opposite. <br />
<table><tbody>
<tr> <th>Tag</th> <th>Meaning</th> </tr>
<tr> <td class="td-1"><code><strong>all</strong></code></td> <td class="td-1">There are no restrictions for indexing or serving. This is default for all pages</td> </tr>
<tr> <td class="td-1"><code><strong>noindex</strong></code></td> <td class="td-1">Do not show this page in search results and do not show a "Cached" link in search results.</td> </tr>
<tr> <td class="td-1"><code><strong>nofollow</strong></code></td> <td class="td-1">Do not follow the links on this page</td> </tr>
<tr> <td class="td-1"><code><strong>none</strong></code></td> <td class="td-1">Equivalent to <code>noindex, nofollow</code></td> </tr>
<tr> <td class="td-1"><code><strong>noarchive</strong></code></td> <td>Do not show a "Cached" link in search results.</td> </tr>
<tr> <td class="td-1"><code><strong>nosnippet</strong></code></td> <td class="td-1">Do not show a snippet in the search results for this page</td> </tr>
<tr> <td class="td-1"><code><strong>noodp</strong></code></td> <td class="td-1">Do not use metadata from the Open Directory project (DMOZ) for titles or snippets shown for this page.</td> </tr>
<tr> <td class="td-1"><code><strong>notranslate</strong></code></td> <td class="td-1">Do not offer translation of this page in other languages in search results.</td> </tr>
<tr> <td class="td-1"><code><strong>noimageindex</strong></code></td> <td class="td-1">Do not index images on this page.</td> </tr>
<tr> <td class="td-1"><code><strong>unavailable_after: [RFC-850 date/time]</strong></code></td> <td class="td-1">Do not show this page in search results after the specified date/time. The date/time must be specified in the RFC 850 format. Example: <strong><span style="font-size: xx-small;">17 May 2012 15:00:00 PST</span></strong></td> </tr>
</tbody></table>
The
only tags which you should focus on are noimageindex, noindex and
nofollow. Rest are just not required for a small scale blog. All of
these tags are useful when you have a corporate blog or website with
thousands of pages or even millions of pages. They help to control how
search engines may crawl your content. <br />
<strong>When to use noimageindex ?</strong><br />
If
you are sharing personal or family pictures on any of your posts or
page then may be you would prefer not to make those pictures public and
keep them limited to readers reach only. In such case you may check this
option and robots will be directed not to index the pics or images used
inside the post.<br />
<strong>When to use noindex?</strong><br />
Any
page or post that you want to hide from robots and visitors can be
tagged as noindex. Visitors wont be able to discover that page via
search engines or may be even with the Google Custom Search Engine. <br />
You
can even noindex post or pages that you think will effect your search
ranking. Google Panda Effects all those blogs which publishes low
quality content. If you feel any of your post is just for entertainment
purpose and does not relate to your niche then you can simply choose the
noindex option from Header Tags.<br />
<strong>When to use nofollow?</strong><br />
If
you are creating a useful directory of 100 or more links that all point
to some external websites and you don't want to pass your PageRank
juice to them then you can choose the nofollow header tag.<br />
If you are looking for when to nofollow links then read this tutorial:<br />
<ul>
<li>When should you nofollow a link? </li>
</ul>

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="customization">Implementation and Customization:-</a></h4>
<u><span style="color: #0080ff; font-size: x-small;"><b>Implementaion:-</b></span></u><br />
Now To add One of these amazing and unique blockquotes to your blogs, do the following,<br />
<ol>
<li>Go to Blogger > <b>Layout</b> > <b>Edit HTML</b> </li>
<li>Backup your template </li>
<li>Search for <b>.post blockquote</b> and delete it along with all its occurrences. In most templates the codes look like this, <blockquote>
.post-body blockquote { line-height:1.3em; } <br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>OR</b></span> <br />
.post blockquote{ bla bla bla}</blockquote>
If you couldn’t find such code then it is OK. </li>
<li>Now search for <b>]]></b:skin></b> and just above <b>]]></b:skin></b> , paste the code for one of your favourite blockquotes. I am giving a sample code below </li>
</ol>
<blockquote>
.post blockquote { <br />
margin : 0 20px; <br />
<b>padding: <span style="color: green;">60px</span> 30px <span style="color: green;">40px</span> 20px;</b> <br />
<b><span style="color: #8000ff;">background</span></b> : <b>#F1F8FE</b> url(<b>Paste</b> <b>Image Link here</b>) no-repeat 350px 5px; <br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;">font</span></b>: <span style="color: green;"><b>normal</b></span> <span style="color: maroon;"><b>.9em</b></span> <b><span style="color: teal;">"comic sans ms", Courier,"Times New Roman", Times, serif;</span></b> <br />
<span style="color: #0080ff;"><b>color</b> </span>: #000; <br />
<b><span style="color: red;">border</span></b>: <span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: green;">8px</span></b> <b>dotted</b> </span><span style="color: purple;"><b>#DAB547</b></span>; <br />
} <br />
.post blockquote p { <br />
margin: 0; <br />
padding-top:10px; <br />
}</blockquote>
<span style="color: #0080ff; font-size: x-small;"><b><u>Customization:-</u></b></span><br />
Important areas to be customized are bolded. Where,<br />
<ul>
<li><b>padding:</b> It refers to the distance of the text from blockquote borders. Which goes in this order –> <b><span style="color: green;">Top</span> Right <span style="color: green;">Bottom</span> Left </b></li>
<li><span style="color: #8000ff;"><b>background </b></span><span style="color: black;">:-
This includes Blockquote background color and image used in it. The six
digit value is the background color and image link is inserted in place
of bolded text in this part-> url(<b>Paste</b> <b>Image Link here</b>) </span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta;"><b>font :-</b> </span><span style="color: black;">It includes font <span style="color: green;"><b>style</b></span>, <span style="color: maroon;"><b>size</b></span> and <span style="color: teal;"><b>type</b></span> respectively. Match the colours with the code above for reference.</span> </li>
<li><span style="color: #0080ff;"><b>color</b> </span>:- This refers to text colour. You can use a different font colour using our <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2009/10/embeddable-css-color-chart-table-for.html" target="_blank">color chart</a> </li>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">border</span></b> :- This refers to border <span style="color: green;"><b>width</b></span>, <span style="color: magenta;"><b>style</b></span> and <span style="color: purple;"><b>colour</b> <span style="color: black;">respectively.</span></span> </li>
<li>All other blockquotes can be customized in similar way. </li>
</ul>
5. After customizing finally save your template and preview it to see the interesting new change.<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #0080ff; font-size: x-small;"><b>Note:-</b></span> For Blockquotes with <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2009/11/14-amazing-ways-to-customize-blockquote.html#commas">inverted commas</a>, <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2009/11/14-amazing-ways-to-customize-blockquote.html#canopy">canopy style</a> and the <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2009/11/14-amazing-ways-to-customize-blockquote.html#monkey%20man">Monkey Man</a>, there is a little more coding required. Read below</span><br />
<span style="color: green;"><b><u>Guide:-</u> </b></span>For above mentioned blockquotes you need to add some extra tags inside blogger editor as explained below,<br />
Now Whenever you have written a <b>Quote</b> inside the <b>compose mode</b> of Blogger Editor simply switch to the <b>HTML mode</b> and add two tags i.e <b><div></b> and <b></div></b> between the blockquote tags as demonstrated below,<br />
<blockquote>
<blockquote><b><div><span style="color: green;">Your Quote Will Be Here</span></div></b></blockquote></blockquote>
<br />
<h4>
Play With Each Blockquote Code!</h4>
To get more used to the codes above you need to play with some CSS using our HTML Editor.<br />
Inside MBT HTML Editor paste the any of the blockquote codes above between <span style="color: #0080ff;"><b><style></b></span> and <span style="color: #0080ff;"><b></style></b></span> and just below <span style="color: #0080ff;"><b></style></b></span> paste this code,<br />
<blockquote>
<b><span style="color: red;"><blockquote></span><span style="color: green;">Write Anything Here As a Text</span></b><b><span style="color: red;"></blockquote></span></b></blockquote>
For example for the <a href="http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2009/11/14-amazing-ways-to-customize-blockquote.html#owl%20blockquote">Owl Blockquote</a> paste the codes in this pattern,<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #0080ff;"><b><style></b></span><br />
<b>blockquote { <br />margin : 0 20px; <br />padding: 60px 30px 40px 20px; <br />background
