There are many methods of earning money from your website but this is my method.

The main target in running a website is getting your visitors to keep coming back, for example lets say that every month your getting a extra 50 unique visitors but none of them are repeat visitors so if your writing amazing articles that people are subscribing to they will come back this will be a even bigger boost in traffic it can practically double your unique count every month.

First of all you need to work on actually getting people their, this can be done using the art of search engine optimization, if you can get a higher page rank then more people will be finding your keywords.

Getting this page rank can be done many ways the main important one is links to and from your website, once your getting more and more links to your website Google figure that you’ve got to have some importance and therefore make your PR (page rank) higher meaning more and more visitors finding your keywords, keywords are another very important thing there are many ways to make Google give them more importance like in this article on making keywords stand out.

(more…)

I’ve been working on a new them for around 3-4 days, I thought that my old theme was possibly driving people away due to the gothic look of it so I made a new one and this is it.

I’ve tried to make it less cluttered, for example I moved the archives to the top left of the page in a drop down box hoping this will save me some room for some better options to hopefully bring in the visitors.

I’ve also added a search box which I didn’t have before so that people can now look through my articles easier, at the moment it doesn’t look pretty but I will be working on a better look for it at a later date.

Hope you like the theme would love some feedback.

Spam its on the increase constantly, so you need to be aware of how to block it.

1. Akismet – very popular way to catch spam, for me it has only ever let 3 through out of around 2,000 so its my number one.

2. Change the settings in discussion (options >> discussion), a important one i find is ticking “Comment author must have a previously approved comment” this will then only allow people that commented previously to comment again.

3. Stats programs for WordPress, these can be brilliant tools to use against spammers, I use one called Popularity Contest this will tell you what posts are most commented on even after the spam has been removed, then you can edit the post to disable commenting, I’ve found in some cases its practically halfed my spam count!

You may of figured out by now that having keywords stand out could be important in getting your website ranked their are many ways in which you can do this:

1. Meta tags most important thing on your websites are use of meta tags these make life much easier, if your running WordPress you will be able to do this easily by using a plugin called Ultimate Tag Warrior.

2. Bold tags you wouldn’t of thought this but using the bold tag it will make your keywords stand out more with Google so it puts them rank higher, but you don’t want to go over the top, keep it low maybe 10 per page, if you just spam your site with them Google will ignore you and lower your rank.

3. The H1 and H2 tags, these tags are used for headers and can be a very important thing in the world of SEO, by using the header tags Google will figure out that its a title theirfore ranking it higher and making your keywords much stronger, if your running a blog the header tags are a must have!

4. I will end with the most important one your title the <title></title> can be the most important thing in your website, using this in the correct way will make the most of your website keywords these keywords are the highest rates in the website, you should not use words like the, and, or etc.

So remember to make all your keywords stand out as much as possible.

You might not have thought that it really matters how your website is layed out, as you may have noticed my page is a mess mainly because I’m trying to reconstruct it to get the most out of Google.

How should it be layed out?

Well this is a slightly simple answer, you need the most important content to be shown first, for example this design was made so that the navigator is displayed before the main content in the source code, Google rated the first 50 words the highest so use your layout to make the most of these 50 words.

Also remember to keep your word count on the page around 1500 word if need be split the pages up, this will still allow you to have even better results in Google as each page they will rate the first 50 words the highest, so the more pages the better you might find just don’t over do it.

If your using something like WordPress or Joomla this is easily done you can cut off the content and only show a sample of the text (remembering to make it keyword rich) and then Google can follow the more content link that is left behind and find the rest of it, one down fall of this would be the visitors may not prefer this option over being able to read it all on your front page.

The real question here is what does Google like?

Google, its all about Google now the problem with linking to things like directory’s that require a link back Google will not like that, no longer can you trade links with people unless you do a three way swap yeah this is very complected but now its the only way to still link swap.

One simple way to do this is by creating a del.icio.us account, try to get Google crawling it as much as possible for example add thousands of people to your network meaning you get more links to your account allowing Google to crawl the site more then link delicious to your site but do not link back, but if your on a bunch of forums put a delicious link in your signature or where ever else you can put the link, so use delicious to link to your site as much as possible.

If you’ve got any more sites you can then you can use delicious to link to the site as well, which allows you to stop interlinking them.

Instead of delicious you can use a wide variety of other social bookmarking tools like reddit or you could even use things like blogger.

You wouldn’t of though that linking to a website could be so complicated would you!

My visitors count is going up and up, but its way too slow about each month I’m lucky to get a extra 50 unique visitor count but this isn’t enough.

So from now on I’m focusing all my attention to getting my SEO skills up, I’ve always wanted this website to bring me some money but so far it isn’t doing anything of the sort, I’ve tried loads of advertising methods but none of them work its driving me crazy.

So I will post all about my new findings in the world of SEO and again I will start from the beginning.

Many of you might think that passwords don’t have to be very long like for example you might want to use your first name like john which should never be done, this can be easily broken into by co workers or even people that know you.

Choosing a password can be very easy but the main rule that you shouldn’t do is using anything that can be linked to you for example your own name or the name of people in your family these will be broken into.

A correct password should contain something like 3 letters, 3 numbers and 3 symbol.

Here is a example of a password h5b&j4!5?, now personally I use about 5 different passwords that are like that I remember these by actualy putting a post it note on my laptop when I’ve learned it i will remove it.

If you want to use a generator to make your passwords you can use this from pctools.com but I prefer to make my own.

I found this absolutely amazing product its called Sierra Wireless 875U USB Data Modem basically it allows you to have a wireless connection anywhere using your cellphone provider for example this is a O2 product so i take it all you do it place a sim card in it and your ready to go.

The thing about it that i find brilliant is the idea it is wireless, you can get standard PC cards to just put your SIM card inside it to access the web but this, this allows you to (i take it) have multiple people connecting to it.

Now I’ve seen many amazing DIY wireless to carry around with you but they where very bulky this just look at it its pocket sized

You might of read my previous post on temporary email addresses but now I’m going to post about a service called temporary email forwarding this allows you to change your email address when you feel like it but the unique factor about this is you can use your original account like gmail and you can have all your emails forwarded to that account for example you can be johnsmith@temporaryinbox.com and any emails will be forwarded to johnsmith@gmail.com.

If you start getting extreem spam you can then change it to something like johnsmith1@temporaryinbox.com and still have it forwarded to your gmail account.

I checked with the creator to see if the emails could still be checked online and he said that all the email would be sent to the private account so its secure enough.

If you hate spam this seems to be a good way of getting rid of it so check the website out http://www.temporaryinbox.com.
