For an ordinary blogger, Google Adsense is still the best and most easily accessible means, to make money through blogging. Among st the PPC advertisers out there, Google Adsense provides the best rates to its publishers, that too with a great variety of advertisements. Moreover, the trust in Google, makes many bloggers opt for Google Adsense over the others.if you are facing low adsense earnings, you can increase the same with some tips.

Still, many bloggers do not make much money out of Google Adsense. Making money out of Google Adsense is easy, if you follow the correct tactics.

If you’re not able to make money out of Google Adsense, and if you would like to improve your Google Adsense earnings, then we’re here to help you out. Today, we’re here with 5 ways to increase your income through Google Adsense.

Low Adsense Earnings ? How to Increase
https://bloggerstips.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Low-Google-AdSense-Earnings.jpg
1. Experiment With Ad Positions
The placement of ads on your blog, largely affects the income you make from Google Adsense. As different ad spots favor different blog, there is apparently no use of copying some other blog’s ad placements.

Instead, try to shuffle your ad placements each month, and try to note down the variations. And after few months of research, you’ll be able to identify which ad spot works well for your blog, and which does not.

2. Try Both Text and Image Ads
Some bloggers only prefer text ads in their blog, whereas some other only puts up image ads on their blog. The type of ads that you put up in your blog, also largely affects on the amount you make from it.

Therefore, while choosing ad types, always go with text and image ads to get maximum profits out of your ad spaces.

3. Very Low Traffic
It is absolute stupidity, to expect to earn a four figure income a month, with just hundreds of visits per day. No matter which method, traffic is the main tool to earn out of any blog.

Hence, a blog with barely hundreds of visits, will never be able to make a four figure income. Therefore, if you wish to earn much out of your blog, then your primary aim should be to increase the traffic of your blog, and then turn towards monetization.

4. Low Number Of Ads
It is true that readers will get distracted, if you put up lots of ads on your blog. But still, if you wish to earn then you should know that, the number of advertisements on each webpage do really matter on how well you earn from your blog.

Therefore, to get the maximum potential out of the ads placed on your blog, always opt for 3-4 ads on different spots on your webpage. Also, make sure that the ad placement does not interrupt or distract the user experience on your blog.

5. Low Quality Content
Last but definitely not the least, content matters a lot, really a lot. If your blog is stuffed with low quality, less researched and less optimized content, then there is a very little chance that your blog may yield some profit.

Therefore, if you feel that your blog has low-quality content, then its time to step up and put in more useful contents on your blog, before actually thinking to monetize your blog.

Webmasters › Stop Misusing Social Media By Following These Easy Steps by uanda(op): 11:03am On Oct 03, 2014
Do you ever feel like you’re spinning your wheels on social media? You publish a post and then think that it’s time to get to work sharing it all over Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google +?

We hope that the traffic comes in and our numbers go up and our audience is engaged. But we also feel tired and more often than not as if we’re talking to a wall.

It’s time to rethink social media.

I want you to imagine for a moment that you are a 5th grade teacher. You are about to teach a unit on diseases that affect the human body. You love to integrate different concepts and have it cross all subjects so you begin to plan your strategy.

■In reading, you’ll assign an age-appropriate novel about the Black Death plague in the Middle Ages.
■In writing, you’ll ask them to write an exposition on a virus that attacked a country in the past.
■In history, you’ll explore the effects of virus outbreaks in populations such as the Native Americans.
■In math, you’ll use statistics to teach how the CDC predicts how many people might be infected and how the virus replicates.
■In science, you’ll dig deep into the workings of viruses and bacteria and what the differences are.
■In art, you’ll have your students look at paintings done during some of the dark periods of sickness.
Your topic is getting hit at from every angle. The students will learn valuable skills in multiple subjects, all the while exploring deeply the subject at hand.

So how does this tie in with social media?

If you are a blogger, you need to start thinking like a teacher.

You have your blog, your Facebook page, your Twitter handle, your Pinterest boards, and your G+ profile. In essence, you have five subjects you are in charge of

Social Media Fail
Since so many bloggers are obsessed with numbers and traffic, we spend all our time laboring over the one subject – the blog. We write and design and write some more. Then we use all the other subjects to yak about the main one.

And we’re doing it all wrong.

What kind of grade would your students get with this method? Not good. They’d fail. So let’s think about this like an educator.

Successful people on social media are the ones who treat it as an end in and of itself, and not simply as a means to an end.

Pick a topic. It could be your niche as a blogger or it could be a more specific thing you want to write about. I’ll use the example of a food blogger. This food blogger has a great recipe for chicken. Here’s the wrong way to do it:

■Write the recipe post.
■Share it everywhere, multiple times, until people are so annoyed they start unfollowing you.

Webmasters › How To Find The Traffic Of Any Website On The Internet by uanda(op): 4:52pm On Sep 29, 2014
Have you ever wondered how many people visit TechCrunch every month? How about the New York Times? How about how many people are visiting the site of your competitors?

Recently I discovered a tool that is quite handy for digging out those numbers. Before presenting the tool, though, here’s a caveat: in theory it’s impossible for an external tool to know exactly how many visitors any website has, because this is information is private to the owners of that site. Most tools that offer those numbers do so based on their own research and estimations, so you should always pick that data with a grain of salt.

That being said, as far as I can tell the numbers presented by this tool are quite solid. It’s called SimilarWeb.com. You just need to input the URL of the website and it will give you a brief report about it. Here are some examples of their traffic estimations:

DailyBlogTips – 340 thousand monthly visitors
TechCrunch – 34 million monthly visitors
New York Times – 140 million monthly visitors

I can verify the DailyBlogTips number, and it’s quite close. The TechCrunch number is also not far off, because the official ‘Advertise with Us’ page say they receive 34 million monthly page views, but it might not have been updated in a while. The NYTimes number could be correct as well, as I heard back in 2012 they were receiving 80 million visitors per month.

Webmasters › SEO Myths Every Business Owner Must Understand by uanda(op): 4:32pm On Sep 29, 2014
The larger part of SEO still remains a mystery among most people who venture online. In effort to shed some light to the SEO mysteries, a lot of myths have been brought about. Most of the myths aim at educating people on making the best use of SEO strategies. However, the information contained in the myths is not only untrue but misleading as well. This is because people tend to develop profound beliefs and take unnecessary caution even when there is no need for alarm.

It is important to be very cautions before believing in anything that people tell you with regard to SEO. It does not matter on how many people convince you on the existence of a certain SEO theory. A through scrutiny must be done before implementing any strategy instigated by people out there.

You should understand that myths are developed so easily and have the capacity to spread in a remarkably short time. In fact, myths are very persuasive and can be believed easily. However, listening to myths and following them can bring forth very serious implications to your site and business. In this regard, you must understand and avoid SEO myths at all costs if positive achievements must be registered in your business.

Let’s have a crackdown on the five common myths that tend to dominate the minds of many online businesspersons:

1.The More the Keywords the Higher the Ranking
The use of keywords for SEO has for long been abused. Majority of people who venture online have the perception that a lot of keywords are significant in elevating the rating and ranking of websites. On the contrary, use of many keywords may trigger more harm than good in terms of ranking your site.

It is important to note that search engines keep being updated over time. This means that search engine features are manipulated to suit modernity. Currently, a lot of keywords in website content are not valued by search engines. As a matter of fact, you might end up suffering penalties for misuse of keywords.

In most cases, it is advised that you use keywords sparingly. The density of main words and phrases should not exceed 2% if high web ranking must be achieved. In addition, keywords must appear natural and in context with the content at hand. By doing so, search engines will acknowledge your content as natural hence rank it accordingly.

2. Link Building Is Not Paramount
If you believe in the claims that link building is not of essence in online business, then high chances are that your business will perish before you even start venturing. You must bear in mind that connecting with the online community is the pillar behind any successful business.

For a long time now, links have always been considered valuable by search engines. In fact, efforts to eradicate the use of links by search engines only turn futile. This explains the profound use and application of links in business websites.

There are different strategies you can use to build links for your website. However, you must be very selective with the kind of technique you use. The bottom line is the link building is important and should not be snubbed.

3. The More the Links, the Better
Link stuffing is one of the common tendencies that online businesspersons embrace not knowing that it is a recipe of failure. You will at times come across a website which carries link-stuffed articles. Such articles feature links and anchor texts after a short set of words. This is triggered by the belief that a great number of links is ideal in creating perfect connection in the web.

You must not forget that articles are composed for humans and not machines. This means that you should make your articles interesting and fun to read. An article with a lot of links is not only distracting but irritating and annoying as well. It is never interesting to come across varying colors of links in an article. It is even confusing on which link you should follow when you have so many at your disposal.

In a different note, the avenue that you use in building links matters a lot. Currently, it is very possible to get a bunch of links in a very short time with the help some trending software in existence. However, most people forget to consider quality and end up focusing on quantity. The quality of links that you use should be your prime consideration. A lot of links do not matter.

4. Social Media Is Not Necessary
This is the biggest lie with regard to SEO that people instill in the minds of others. Social media has always been considered a very vital tool in promoting online visibility and SEO in general.
