How to Increase Your AdSense Earnings http://amplify.com/u/k4y1

How to Increase Your AdSense Earnings

When you are an Adsense publisher, or even if you are just looking to make more money from your hobby website, one of the most important things you can do is experiment with sizes and placement. Most of the time, publishers use a single template for all of their page/posts; however, this doesn’t always give the highest payouts. If you are using a CMS, that allows you to have different templates that will often allow you to experiment. If you are using WordPress, this feature was recently added. If you haven’t done any Adsense optimization recently, I’d suggest reading the Adsense Optimization Techniques post from the Adsense Blog. Using the techniques there, you can make changes that will quite often have a dramatic impact on your earnings. How dramatic? I’ll show you … You can see that the earnings for any single page on one my websites is fairly consistent for most of the year. However, right after reading and implementing the changes from that Adsense post mentioned above, I changed the placement and size. You can see earnings showed a nice increase. More importantly, the earnings have remained at a higher level. Let me put it to you another way: for less than 15 minutes worth of work, I was able to nearly quadruple the amount of money that page generated in a month. So it might be something you want to try. Here’s my advice: * Look for pages with good or better traffic that aren’t generating much revenue * Put those pages into custom templates * Experiment with different ad placements, colors, and sizes * Try to let each experiment run for at least a week * Look at Adsense revenue–don’t be lured off track by high CTR or high eCPM * Once you have found the optimal format, try it on other pages and see if revenue increases * Lather, rinse, repeat Peter Zmijewski who is called as Innovator, investor, internet marketing guru and entrepreneur.

Do’s and Don’ts in Running an Online Business

The growth of online marketing is exponential as we are in the age of Information Technology. Computer speed doubles approximately every two years as stated in Moore’s Law. This trend has continued for more than half a century and is not expected to stop until 2015 or later as stated on Wikipedia based on the work of Gordon E. Moore the co-founder of Intel. If you are knowledgeable in computers then you are very much capable of handling your own online business. The internet is widely used for internet exchange nowadays.  Most people don’t need go to malls because they can do online shopping. A wide variety of products are now being sold and made available online. The best thing about it, you only have to do a few clicks, pay online and have your desired product delivered directly at your doorstep. In order to sell products online or send out information regarding products available at retail shops, certain systems and software, online business owners engage in online marketing. If you are into marketing, try to do it online as it may also work for you. I have summarized a few do’s and don’ts in running or even starting your own online business and I hope this would be of help to you in your journey to online marketing success. Do’s: • Start as an affiliate marketer; promote other people’s products or services. This is by far the easiest way for you to generate traffic and start to attract visitors to your site. Promote their products and services and get commissions on every sale you get. • Examine the details and do your homework. Don’t just invest your time on looking for free manuals or e-books that you see on the net, it does not always give you the right information that you will need. You should choose a high quality study course and make sure it is fine-tuned or well-researched. • Use time saving tools that are designed for your own benefit. There are a lot of online marketing tools, take advantage of them and use them wisely. Take a look at KeywordSpy as an example, an advanced keyword research tool that can surely give you the information you would need for your online business. You may even already begin accessing it through free trial. • Cut your spending both personally and within your business whenever it is possible, but don’t stop investing in technology or pursuing your marketing plans. • Keep things simple and watch out for scams. Never start at the more complex methods of this business, start with the basics and make sure that the method you are following is authentic. Scams are every where, you better watch out for them. Don’ts: • Believe in everything that you see online, there are a lot of scams roaming around. Be cautious and be sure that everything is authentic before you decide. • Jump from one method or technique to another. This is a common mistake for newbies not only in online business but I think in everything. Most of us jump on another strategy immediately which is a waste of time and effort. Before you decide to use a specific method or technique, you must research well, gather the information you need and everything will just go smoothly. • Stop conversation online, or socialize online like Twitter or any other social network. This will help you generate more traffic by gaining followers and leading them to your site. You may also derive a lot of recent information/industry updates from these sites. • Compete with large company if it wont fit your budget. These markets are harder to penetrate since your competitors are having larger budget than what you have. Start on the market that you can afford, use your budget wisely. • Loose your patience. Online marketing is not an overnight progress. It means that you won’t generate traffic in an instant.  You have a lot of competitors and most of them are aspiring to be the top ranked advertisers in major search engines just like you are. Be patient enough to wait and update everything that needs update. These are just few of the many things that will you have to keep in mind for your online business. You will also benefit more if you widen your knowledge and understanding of what online marketing is. Use your time wisely and invest your money for the good of your business.

Amazon starts DNS Cloud Service http://amplify.com/u/htb2
Amazon starts DNS Cloud Service http://amplify.com/u/htb2

Amazon starts DNS Cloud Service

Amazon Web Services has launched Amazon Route 53, a Domain Name System (DNS) in the cloud that allows businesses to direct Internet traffic to web applications. Amazon Route 53 can be used to route end users to multiple AWS services including Amazon EC2, an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer or an Amazon S3 bucket, and to infrastructure outside of AWS. Route 53 features a self-service design with a pay-as-you-go model where users pay only for managing domains through the service and the number of queries that the service answers. Amazon-Route-53 Amazon Route 53 uses a network of DNS servers located across the globe, which allows businesses to keep their web applications available. Amazon Route 53 also lets users place controls over who can manage their DNS system by allowing integration with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). “Our customers have asked for a DNS service with all the same qualities of the other AWS services that they use every day – flexible, scalable, no commitment, inexpensive, and pay-as-you go,” said by, General Manager of Amazon CloudFront. “That’s exactly what Amazon Route 53 provides. Now AWS customers who need a DNS service don’t have to work with a separate provider and instead can get this additional infrastructure service with the AWS platform.” Peter Zmijewski who is called as a internet marketing guru is the founder and CEO of KeywordSpy.com.

Google Cloud Picker Feature Discovered too soon http://amplify.com/u/hprf
Google Cloud Picker Feature Discovered too soon http://amplify.com/u/hprf

Google Cloud Picker Feature Discovered too soon

It has been revealed that Google is testing something called "Google Cloud Picker". It's apparently not something we're supposed to know about yet. According to those who spotted it, it appeared when they tried to insert files and images into Google Sites and Blogger. A screenshot is now making the rounds, showing that it is tied to Picasa, Maps, Google Docs, and YouTube. A spokesperson for the company tells, "It looks like someone pushed some code too quickly. It's not quite ready for prime time yet but stay tuned!" Something like this might come in handy when you want to share things. Incidentally, Google is also working on something else that's not quite ready for prime time and isn't expected to be until the Spring - you know, that "social layer" Google is supposed to be adding to tie its products together. Any suggestion that this is related could only be considered speculation, but it's something to consider. Another thing to consider is that Google is heavily trying to move people to the cloud. Google made an announcement recently that also connects the better part of Google's services together through Google Apps. Something else that is also apparently not quite ready for prime time? Google's Cloud-based operating system Chrome OS. This very likely has a lot to do with that. In the end all of these things are going to be connected in one way or another, I believe.

Yahoo Releases "Year in Review" Lists

The end of the year is almost here, and with it, so are the looks back at everything important that transpired in 2010.  Yahoo's more than done its part, too, as the company released well over a dozen lists covering popular searches in different categories.



Out of respect for your time, we'll stick to the basics here - the official "Top Searches on Yahoo in 2010."  But know that lots of other stuff, from the top ten "Survivor Stories" to "Inspiring Acts," is available on a Year in Review site Yahoo put together.  Plus there's a second, UK-specific version of the site.



As for those top searches, it turns out that more Yahoo users searched for information about the BP oil spill than anything else in 2010.  Then the second-most researched topic was the World Cup.



A few celebrities - Miley Cyrus, Kim Kardashian, and Lady Gaga - got third, fourth, and fifth places.  Next, the iPhone came in sixth, and Megan Fox got seventh.



Finally, rounding out the top ten were Justin Bieber, American Idol, and Britney Spears.



A senior editor and Web trend analyst of Yahoo explained "In 2010 consumers watched the BP disaster unfold like a slow-motion horror film and discovered a love for the 'other' football.  There was no stopping the meteoric rise of artists like Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber.  And a favored Disney star, Miley Cyrus, made the up-and-down transition to adulthood, while Britney Spears seemed to get her life back on track and dropped on the Top 10 list again this year."
