Adsense earnings improved after the weekend dip

2006-03-10T00:07:00.000+08:00

In my last post I've mentioned I have suffered a great 50% dip in adsense earnings last weekend. CTR, eCPM drops, click value is extremely low. Traffic is low, everything went so wrong and makes me feel so disappointed....After 5 days, now it looks like the CTR and eCPM has recovered, and earnings even goes up significantly ! This is partly because the number of impressions increased due to my

my revenue is never so low...

2006-03-06T19:01:00.000+08:00

Yesterday my revenue dropped by 50%. It was the worst day among these months...I checked WebMasterWorld and found that many other webmasters were suffering from this decline too, from small sites to big sites earning hundreds per day. Some are complaining adsense is showing MFA on their website, which means no money at all !What is even worse, it was reported some google servers were down too. I

keyphase + "review" boost ranking ?

2006-03-06T18:27:00.000+08:00

In an article suggested for the topic of SEO for product Review, the author has suggest that google will rank in favour of keyword phase plus "review". That means if your site is doing some product review, or you keyword is targeted with this "review" phase, google will give you a higher ranking.I will probably try this out as my website is somehow about review too.

my revenue on each click goes up

2006-03-04T01:20:00.000+08:00

My stock resource page has been up and running for 8 months already. Recently I realize the average earning per click seems to go up a bit. I guess this is the result of adsense "smart pricing". Age of website is one factor, and topic relevance is another factor. I keep improving my site by adding more valuable content to it. So I think google rewards me for having good content. ^.^

It is always a good practice to learn from your successfully competitors.What I mean is if you want to rank #1 in the search engine, dont just study the standard SEO techniques. Remember to check out the #1 site, and see why they can do it.I just checked a #1 site and found that they are using a "summary" attribute in the table tag, which I never knew it. This attribute helps SE to understand

some improvements on search engine web traffic (google)

2006-02-07T10:28:00.000+08:00

Finally I got some traffic from google.My stock site showed up in google top 10 in one of my target keyword. Im not sure what have I done to make it work, but during the time I have written some new content, done some SEO, and build some more inbound links. All of them ends up with a little nice reward to my search engine ranking. Though the traffic hit is too little to bring me significant

traffic from search engine

2006-02-06T02:18:00.000+08:00

The best source of traffic is always from search engine. But it is very very hard to get a good position in popular keywords.My daily earnings has dropped from my record top of $19. I checked the webmasterworld and saw a thread talking about it is most difficult to go from $1-$20. I totally agree with it and now Im seeking ways to improve.One of my site has some constant traffic from yahoo, but

seems google adsense has made some tuning, now my pages using the large rectangle ads are showing 4 ads again.In the previous month, google has decided to show 2 ads in the large rectangle only, claiming this will increase the publisher's revenue.

easiest way to get indexed in google

2006-01-08T03:48:00.000+08:00

The easiest way to get indexed by google is to have a blog in blogger.com !!!write an article on your blog with a link to your new page then the URL will be indexed very soon.Why ?Because google has purchased and owns blogger.com. And the nature of a blog is "frequent update". Every page in blogger.com will be indexed by google quickly without much effort !! Blogger has place much effort and make

SEO for yahoo

2006-01-08T03:43:00.000+08:00

I found that it is easier to optimize yahoo search engine as it is more based on the web page itself instead of inbound links.I have a page which ranked quite well under yahoo, and got some constant traffic from there everyday. But for google, I rank too bad that no one can get a chance to see it.I will plan to write some more pages and test for the ranking on yahoo.

If the response to those Explorer
