<p>Let&#8217;s face it, your blog or website will not make any money if nobody pay attention to it. Simply means, no traffic=no money.</p>
<p>If you use Google in searching for something, for example the words &#8220;world cup 2010&#8243; , you will notice that YouTube videos are always on top of SERP (Search Engine Rank Page).</p>
<div id="attachment_1143" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 360px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1143" href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/drive-traffic-to-your-blog-using-youtube/youtube_search/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1143" title="youtube_search" src="http://www.blogdemanila.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/youtube_search.jpg" alt="Example of a search result with YouTube" width="350" height="212" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Example of a Google search result with YouTube</p></div>
<p>This is not really unusual because Google owned YouTube.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s so exciting about this feature of Google search engine, is that YouTube is one of the greatest source of traffic of most websites now than ever! This is how the term &#8220;viral videos&#8221;  was invented. A lot of internet marketers are using this great tool to bring massive traffic to their site.</p>
<p>YouTube is a great way to market your blog or your website, but just like a well written article, you  need to have a  video that draws attention. After this you need to create more views that  will create the link and the position in  the search engine, and therefore the traffic.</p>
<p><strong>How do you create more  YouTube views?</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Don&#8217;t make your video  appear like an Ad.</strong> &#8211; viewers don&#8217;t usually share this kind of videos unless it really amazing. If it&#8217;s an Ad for the television, just upload on YouTube on how it was done. I&#8217;ve seen a lot of  &#8221; the making of&#8230;&#8221; videos in YouTube that are so popular.</p>
<p><strong>2. Try to make convincing(but not misleading) titles to your videos.</strong> <strong>Secret tip</strong>: I&#8217;ve seen a lot of fake videos title and hey&#8230;they have a lot of viewers.</p>
<p><strong>3. Share, share and share. </strong> Take advantage of Facebook, MySpace, Forums and other social networks.</p>
<p><strong>4.Try YouTube&#8217;s promoted videos feature.</strong> YouTube Promoted Videos (ads.youtube.com) is available for users in the USA only and for those Non-USA users, use Google AdWords to create a Promoted Videos ad.</p>
<p>5. Use a third party marketing firm. Try Increaseyoutubeviews.com. Buy YouTube views and let this company do all the hardwork to <a href="“http://www.Increaseyoutubeviews.com”">Increase Youtube  Views.</a></p>
<p>What&#8217;s so special with Increaseyoutubeviews.com?  A lot actually. Let me just summarize it in few words. This company will, and can definitely get you on the most viewed list, and make your video go  viral!  When it comes to YouTube Video Promotion, just go to Increaseyoutubeviews.com and you&#8217;ll be in the perfect place.</p>
<p>If you want to be more popular, you need something to get people interested  in your YouTube videos. Social networks and word of mouth will make you popular over time and so other third party marketing firm whose specialty is making your video viral.</p>
<p>YouTube got a lot of potential to make money, use it to your advantage.</p>

If you are not aware, according to some webmasters, Google had a PageRank update last month of June and they are &#8220;predicting&#8221; the next update could be on September.  Historically, it has been observed that Google updates its PageRank every three months.</p>
<p>Are you ready for the next Google PageRank update?</p>
<p>Do you want your site to improve its rank?</p>
<p>Do you want to increase the current PageRank of your blog?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s just past four days of the month of July. You still have  more or less 90 days to improve or gain Google PageRank. Now is the right time to do it!</p>
<p><em><strong>How can you increase the PageRank of your site in 3 months the fastest  way possible?</strong></em></p>
<p>Before I introduce you the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/freebacklinks.php"><strong>fastest way (automatic)</strong></a></span>, let me tell you first the <strong>4 Easy Steps on How To Get Quality Back-links</strong> for your blog.</p>
<p>1. Look for blogs that provide &#8220;do follow&#8221;. Only &#8220;do follow&#8221; blogs will give you the Google PageRank juice.  There&#8217;s a lot of them out there. Of course, BlogDeManila is a DoFollow since 2008.</p>
<p>Most DoFollow blogs are using a badge like this <a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com"><img class="alignnone" title="DoFollow Badge" src="http://www.blogdemanila.com/images/ifollowblue.gif" alt="" width="130" height="50" /></a></p>
<p>You can actually locate blogs that allow back-links(dofollow) by using the  free Firefox plugin available from SEO Quake. You can download it  <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collection/seo-tools">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collection/seo-tools</a></p>
<p>2. If you want to get PR (Page Rank), start making sensible comment on  DoFollow blogs. &#8220;Drive by&#8221; comments are not effective. Make an insightful, useful or relevant comment to the post that is likely to be approved by the blog’s administrator.</p>
<p>3. Instead of using your name (or your blog&#8217;s name),  you can use  relevant anchor text on the blog to include your back-link with. For example if you want to rank on &#8220;Car Accessories&#8221;, you may use it like this:</p>
<div id="attachment_1119" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 394px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1119" href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/improve-pagerank-by-linking-automatically/comment-box/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1119" title="comment-box" src="http://www.blogdemanila.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/comment-box.jpg" alt="comment-box" width="384" height="309" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sample on using Relevant Anchor Text (Keywords)</p></div>
<p>You can include your back-link within the website URL on your post and  actual comment box as well, just make sure it&#8217;s permitted.</p>
<p>4. The last is easy. Rinse and Repeat 1-3 steps.</p>
<p>The process that I&#8217;ve told you is simply similar to manual link exchange.  The only drawback of this process is -  it is extremely time consuming. You need to do a lot of commenting (and manual link exchange) for you to gain quality PR.  I&#8217;m not saying that it doesn&#8217;t work. It does!  In fact, it still being use by a lot of bloggers.</p>
<p><strong>Semi-Automatic BackLinks Strategy</strong></p>
<p>With the usage of what is known as Web 2.0 technology, acquiring back-links is easier  now than in any time in the history of the internet. Many blogger build back-links for their site using Social  Bookmarking websites. All you have to do is  often sign  in and create profiles. Still, you need to manually add your link to all the social bookmarking sites.</p>
<p>What we need is a fully automated process that will auto-link our site to other high-quality pages.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/freebacklinks.php"><strong>Fully Automatic BackLinks</strong></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s where the fun of of backlinking comes in.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.automaticbacklinks.com?aid=automaticbacklinks&amp;bid=032d9cdc"><img class="alignleft" src="http://affiliates.automaticbacklinks.com/accounts/default1/banners/banner125x125.gif" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a><img style="border: 0;" src="http://affiliates.automaticbacklinks.com/scripts/imp.php?aid=automaticbacklinks&amp;bid=032d9cdc" alt="" width="1" height="1" /><br />
<strong>Do you want your links be automatically placed on up to  hundreds of sites simply by displaying links on your own page? </strong></p>
<p>If your reply is no, then just contain yourself in manually building your links but <em>if your answer is a <strong>BIG sounding YES</strong></em>, then head on to <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/freebacklinks.php">AUTOMATIC BANKLINKS</a></span>.<span id="more-1113"></span></strong></p>
<p>But before you do that, let me give you some background about this new service that is set to revolutionize the  concept of link exchanging for web masters and bloggers.</p>
<p><strong>What is <a href="http://www.automaticbacklinks.com/?aid=automaticbacklinks">Automatic BankLinks</a>?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll sum it up for you. It is a <strong> FREE</strong> service that enables webmasters and website owners to quickly and effortlessly  build up good quality, relevant backlinks, by agreeing to display a  small amount of links to other user&#8217;s sites on their own pages.</p>
<p>You can actually see a real-time sample on my page. Just look for the FREE Backlinks section after the Top Commentators widget.</p>
<p>Three of the most common questions  (based on their site) that you may want to ask them also:</p>
<ul>
<li id="li2"><strong>Isn&#8217;t Automatic  Backlinks just another link exchange directory?</strong>
<div id="faq2">Not  exactly. Most link directories work on the principal of having a single  &#8220;Links&#8221; page, that is populated with links that are vaguely related to  your site&#8217;s topic. Automatic Backlinks places links on already existing  content pages that have a minimum of Google PageRank 1.</div>
</li>
<li id="li1"><strong>Are the links  reciprocal?</strong>
<div id="faq1">No. It is widely believed that search  engines place less weight on simple &#8220;you link to me &#8211; I link to you&#8221;  exchanges. Automatic Backlinks uses sophisticated algorithms to create  one-way links between the pages and sites in the system.</div>
</li>
<li id="li1"><strong>How can I be sure of the quality of the backlinks  I get?<br />
</strong>Automatic Backlinks only includes pages  that have earned a Google PageRank of 1 or above in to the system.</li>
</ul>
<p>I have given you the two ways on how to improve your PageRank. The ball is in your hand. You can choose either the manual way (time consuming) or the fully automatic &#8220;set and forget&#8221; system &#8211; the <strong><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/freebacklinks.php">Automatic  BankLinks.</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s your choice on how do you want to boost your search engine ranking. Let me know what way do you want to take.</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />

<p>You may have the best website ever created. Your content is superb with correct keywords on the right places.</p>
<p>The question is, <em>how do you attract traffic to your site?</em></p>
<p><strong>Face the fact, getting a good inbound links are very important  if you want to get high search engine  rankings.</strong></p>
<p>The question is, <em>what exactly are good inbound links?</em></p>
<p><strong>Face the fact,  the more organic links you obtain from relevant websites or niches, the better your site will rank on search engine results.</strong></p>
<p>Search engines like Google, Yahoo, Ask, Bing and other search engines rank websites according to how many quality backlinks  they can find pointing  back to your site. Let me reiterate this,  <strong>quality is determined by how  relevant the other site is to your site</strong>.</p>
<p>The question is,<em> how to find the OTHER good sites that are relevant to yours.</em></p>
<p>There&#8217;s an old saying, &#8220;Build it and they will come&#8221; is no longer true in a virtual world. You&#8217;ve got to find, run after, chase and if needed beg for other sites to link to your site.</p>
<p>There are various methods that are effective in a getting quality back links  like submitting to a directory, article writing, participate and be active on online forums, blog commenting, social bookmarking and press releases, among others.</p>
<p>Sure, you can do all these methods by yourself manually. You can do this  at no cost whatsoever too. Remember, getting quality and good back links are on-going process if you want to maintain your ranking. I&#8217;m just afraid that you might lose your energy in actively seeking back links year after year.</p>
<p>This is where you need the help of professional firms that are offering this kind of services.It&#8217;s actually easy to find companies that are offering SEO services. Do a  Google search for &#8220;<a href="http://www.submitedge.com/">SEO firm</a>&#8221; and you will find a lot of them</p>
<p>The question is, are they really useful? Will they deliver their promises  ?</p>
<p>Most of these firm will promise you heaven and earth. A lot of them are ensuring that your site will be listed on major search engines and land on top 10!</p>
<p>One firm in particular is <a href="http://www.submitedge.com/">SubmitEdge</a> which is listed no. 5 on Google search engine result page for the &#8220;SEO firm&#8221; keywords. They have what they call &#8220;Guaranteed Google Indexing&#8221; service. It stated on their website that they make sure that your site gets indexed in 10 days or they  will give you a full refund. Wow, what a statement.</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t only Google engineers can guarantee top ranking?</p>
<p>For  a company like SubmitEdge that belongs to Top 10 on Google&#8217;s first result page , perhaps they are right. They know the nitty-gritty and methodologies on how to make your site visible on the first page of any search engine.</p>
<p>It took BlogDeManila .com more than a month to be indexed on Google and two months to get a page rank of 2.  This is the reason I want to know the techniques of these SEO firms are using. Are they for real? Are their methods legitimate or are they using black hat techniques?</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com"><img class="alignleft" title="Spam Killer" src="http://www.blogdemanila.com/images/spam_killer.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="250" /></a>Do not delete SPAM</strong>&#8230;<em>yet</em>.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m talking about?</p>
<p>This may sound stupid but you&#8217;ve got to submit the spam to the web  before hitting the &#8220;delete&#8221; or &#8220;delete all&#8221; button on your WordPress Comment Page  dashboard.</p>
<p>Well, this post of mine applies only to all who are using <em><strong>Akismet</strong></em> on their site, either a blog or a corporate site.</p>
<p>I believe Akismet is the most useful plug-in/API ever developed for a blog. This is also the reason why it&#8217;s a default plug-in of WordPress, aside from the well known fact that <a href="http://ma.tt/">the man</a> behind Akismet is also the main developer of WordPress.</p>
<p>If you are a big fan of WordPress, you are using your Askimet, are you?  If not, then you are missing the most important tool for your blogging battle.</p>
<p><strong>What is Akismet?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>In a very straight and simple definition &#8211; <strong>Akismet was developed to kill Spam</strong>.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it. No more no less.</p>
<p>Some people call it &#8221; <em>The Silence of the Spams</em>&#8220;. It kills spam in the background automatically without intruding your blog life.</p>
<p><strong>So why did I tell you not to delete Spam?</strong><span id="more-964"></span> Because you have to inform Akismet that you&#8217;ve got a spam on your Comment Pending Page. Akismet cannot kill it unless you or other Akismet users had already submitted the &#8216;specimen&#8217; of the spam.</p>
<p><strong>This is how Akismet works. </strong> When a new comment comes to your site it is  submitted to the Akismet web service which will test the comment if its a friendly comment or just a plain spam. This includes  trackback, or pingback too.</p>
<p>Look at <a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/">BlogDeManila</a> Comment Page. Some comments look genuine but if you check the sites of those submitted URL, you will know that they are just purely <strong>Stupid-Pathetic-Annoying-Message or SPAM</strong>.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 524px"><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com"><img title="BlogDeManila Comment Page" src="http://www.blogdemanila.com/images/spam_akismet.jpg" alt="" width="514" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">BlogDeManila Comment Page</p></div>
<p>If you see this really annoying comments or pingbacks, just mark them as &#8220;SPAM&#8221; to inform Akismet web service. Do not click on trash &#8230;yet.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com"><img class="aligncenter" title="Mark Spam Comment " src="http://www.blogdemanila.com/images/spam_marked.jpg" alt="" width="507" height="205" /></a>Once you marked them as negative comment, they will be transferred to your Comment Spam Page. From here you can delete them permanently or let Akismet do it automatically.  Make sure that you&#8217;ve chosen the option to automatically discard (or delete) spam comments on posts older than a month.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 520px"><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/"><img class=" " title="Akismet Option" src="http://www.blogdemanila.com/images/spam_option.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="186" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Akismet Option to Delete Spam Automatically</p></div>
<p>Akismet becomes more effective and intelligent the more you use it. So use it freely!</p>
<p><strong>Is Akismet FREE?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Yes and No.</strong> <em><strong>Akismet is free for personal use</strong></em> and non-profit organization and educational institution. BUT, yes there&#8217;s a big but here, according to Automaticc ( the maker of Akismet), if your blog is earning more than $500 a month, then are you are encouraged to get a $5/mo pro-blogger Akismet API key.</p>
<p>If you are running a commercial venture in your blog or corporate site, then you must get an enterprise subscription  for your company starting at $50/mo. The last thing that you want to see in your corporate  blog  are good old-fashioned pill, porn and Viagra ad comments, right?</p>
<p>You have a lot of better things to do than fight dozen and dozens of  ever-changing, high-tech spam aliens.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget your best, automatic laser gun is already in your arsenal. All you have to do is  is activate, configure and use it. Forget that spam was ever a problem again. <em>Hasta la vista, spam baby!</em></p>

<p>Google <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/04/using-site-speed-in-web-search-ranking.html">announced</a> on April 09,2010 that they incorporated site speed as one of the over 200 signals in determining the position of a website in the search results.</p>
<p>According to Google Webmaster Central blog, they launched this change a few weeks back after rigorous testing and not too many people noticed it.</p>
<p>Google&#8217;s <a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/site-speed/">Matt Cutts</a> says that the change will affect only a few percentage of websites:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;Fewer than 1% of search queries will change as a result of  incorporating site speed into our ranking. That means that even fewer  search results are affected, since the average search query is returning  10 or so search results on each page.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>So please don’t  worry that the effect of this change will be huge. In fact, I believe  the official blog post mentioned that &#8216;We launched this change a few  weeks back after rigorous testing.&#8217;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>The fact that not  too many people noticed the change is another reason not to stress out  disproportionately over this change.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">
<p><strong>7 Tips to better optimize your blog and keep it listed in Google search results.</strong></p>
<p>There are a number of articles on the internet on best practices for improving your website&#8217;s load and  response times. Below are just some of the proven tips that you can easily apply to improve the speed of your blog.</p>
<ol>
<li>Use <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/">Google Page Speed</a></span> tool to speed up your site. You can use Page Speed to evaluate the performance of your blog pages and to get suggestions on how to improve them.</li>
<li>Choose a <a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/bluehost.php"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">fast and reliable web host</span></strong></a> with a good connection to the Internet. Slow servers can cause problems.<span id="more-842"></span></li>
<li>Use as few images and videos as possible on your blog .</li>
<li>Make sure that all images have height and width tags.  The tags will make sure that the browser knows the size of the image  before loading it.</li>
<li>Use media content provider such as Flicker and YouTube to host your  media images and videos instead of loading them on your webhost.</li>
<li>Use only the plugins you really need, and delete the rest.</li>
<li>Delete unnecessary PHP tags and database access.  Convert some PHP commands to HTML.</li>
</ol>
<p>Blog reader wants immediate results. Most Internet users will just skip a site altogether if it fails to load   within a couple of seconds. Even if, they are just dropping your EC button or clicking on your<a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/recommended/adgitize.php"> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Adgitize</span></strong></a> widget. The faster your  blog pages load, the more readers of your blog will  be.</p>
<p>If you need more explanation on how to apply these tips, I&#8217;ll be happy to elaborate them one by one. Just make sure to wear your seat belt when applying these tips <img src='http://www.blogdemanila.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>With hundreds of web hosting companies offering all kinds of hosting  plans, it has become challenging to find the best web host company that offers balance between  <strong>features</strong>, <strong>performance</strong> and <strong>support</strong>.</p>
<p><script src="http://www.bluehost.com/src/js/blogdemanila/CODE40/300x250/bh_300x250_04.jpg" type="text/javascript"></script></p>
<p>What about <strong>Prices</strong>? Well, this is relative in one way or the other. Some web host provider will offer you a &#8220;cheap&#8221; entry for as low as $1 only for your first month but you have to sign-up with them for at least 2 years in order for you to avail of that special price. Other providers, on the other hand, can give you a special prices which are valid for a limited time.</p>
<p><em><strong>So what is the best web host provider for blogs?</strong></em> For me, no other provider can beat <a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/bluehost.php"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>BlueHost</strong></span></a> in providing the best price-value for blog sites. Alright, maybe I&#8217;m lying because Bluehost is not only the best web host for blogs but for any other web site too from simple static page to social networking sites.</p>
<p><strong>How do I know this?</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> I am using <a href="../bluehost.php"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>BlueHost</strong></span></a>, our company is using it for our corporate site, support website and in our social networking site. We are using<strong> BlueHost </strong>even in our business/project websites.  The only drawback is we cannot use <strong>BlueHost</strong> for our Windows hosting need. <strong>BlueHost </strong>exclusively provides their hosting plan in Linux only and I&#8217;m not aware if they have plans to offer in the future.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> If you don&#8217;t believe on my personal testament, just do a simple <strong>Google </strong>search for &#8220;best web host for blogs&#8221;, check some of the sites on the first result page and I assure you that <strong>BlueHost </strong>is is always mentioned, if not listed within their top 3 choices.</p>
<p><strong>3</strong>. Even <strong>WordPress</strong>,org, on their recommended web hosting page, put <strong>BlueHost </strong>on their first choice. see http://wordpress.org/hosting/</p>
<p><strong>This is not a pay-per-post review.</strong> I&#8217;m just one of their satisfied customers but to be perfectly honest with all you my dear readers, the link to <a href="../bluehost.php"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>BlueHost</strong></span></a> contained my affiliate ID which may give me some <a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/category/make-money-online/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">moolah</span></a>.</p>

<p>Sometimes you come up with a great blog story. You know it will drive you a lot of traffic but you have a problem. No one knows about your great blog post.</p>
<p>In order to get maximum attention you need to spread the word around. This is where the social / bookmark networks come handy.</p>
<p>Bill Gate is using the technology. Mircosoft is taking advantage of this new marketing strategy. What about you? Are you harnessing the power of social networks?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 348px"><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com"><img title="Social Network Images" src="http://pixavid.com/uploads/l0V4Nm.jpg" alt="Social Network Logos" width="338" height="248" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Social Network Logos</p></div>
<p><strong>What is a social / bookmark network?</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a place where you can share your stories or blogs and network or bookmarks with others. Take <a href="http://digg.com/" target="_blank">Digg</a> and <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/" target="_blank">StumbleUpon</a> for example. You submit your blog story to the network, allowing other members to vote and comment on it. More popular stories that receive a certain number of votes get promoted to the front page. Most social networks are different. Some even allow you to export a large number of bookmarks straight from your browser.</p>
<p><strong>Why social networks?</strong></p>
<p>1)	Social networks get a lot of traffic due to their nature. Users often return to read the latest stories and share their own.</p>
<p>2)	Readers are usually only one click away from your blog. A popular submission can bring you thousands of daily visitors.</p>
<p>3)	Most social networks are free and take seconds to register and submit your first entry.<span id="more-786"></span></p>
<p>4)	You will be surprised when you see the amount of other websites that use feeds from various social networks. A good story can spread across the network like wild fire.</p>
<p>5)	If your story will not get to the front page you can always submit another one. In most cases there is no limit on the amount of stories you can submit.</p>
<p>6)	Most social networks are search engine friendly. Not only your story will be picked up by major search engines in no time, in most cases you will also get a reciprocal link. Some social networks have very good google page rank (PR)</p>
<p><strong>Tips and tricks:</strong></p>
<p>1)	An interesting, catchy story is often a must. Your main target is to get promoted to the front page by getting enough votes. You need to convince other readers to vote for your story. Strange, shocking and controversial stories often do well.</p>
<p>2)	You can always ask your friends to join and vote for you in order to get more votes. Don&#8217;t create fake accounts because you will simply get banned.</p>
<blockquote><p>Secret tip: Form an alliance with other bloggers and vote for each other&#8217;s work.</p></blockquote>
<p>3)	The more stories you submit the better. If you want a steady flow of traffic you will need a steady flow of submissions.</p>
<p>4)	Just enjoy your experience. I certainly find it more interesting compared to other methods of blog promotion, such as link development.</p>
<p>Social networking sites are useful, aside for their marketing potential,  but as a way of keeping in touch not just with your friends but with your universe of friends.</p>
<p>There are a lot of various social networks around. Simple search on google should do the trick.</p>

<p>Lately, I&#8217;ve been suffering from this syndrome. Unfortunately, I guess there&#8217;s no cure for it. If there is, I will vehemently avoid the medication.<a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/"><img class="alignleft" title="Google Adsense Stats Syndrome" src="http://www.blogdemanila.com/images/gas%20man.jpg" alt="" width="298" height="213" /></a></p>
<p>Even when I&#8217;m in public places (it&#8217;s a no-no) , I can&#8217;t control myself not to suffer this contagious disease. I&#8217;ll always look for the opportunity to do it.</p>
<p>Before you think of any thing gross, let me clear myself.</p>
<p>GASS is a phenomenon that can hit any members of the Adsense Family. You&#8217;ve got to be a member in order for you to suffer this addictive syndrome.</p>
<p>GASS is the abbreviation of Google AdSense Stats Syndrome. According to Google Adsense Insider, &#8221; The primary sign of affliction is the compulsive need to check AdSense stats every 15 minutes or so to see how much you&#8217;ve earned since your prior login.&#8221;</p>
<p>This compulsive disorder will sometimes bring uncontrolled urge for the patient to check their accounts even multiple an hour!</p>
<p>&#8220;Sufferers face strong withdrawal when separated from a PC with Internet access and have been known to experience mild abdominal discomfort and general irritability&#8221;, according to Rob, <span>AdSense Product Marketing. </span></p>
<p><span>In order to minimize the negative effect of this syndrome to all Adsense family members, please let it be known that </span>reports are generally updated every 15 to 30 minutes, but there can sometimes be a delay of up to 24 hours.</p>
<p>Sometimes when you see a &#8220;no data available&#8221; , don&#8217;t rush to your eye doctor. Your eyes are perfectly normal and not making a tricks on you. It can take up to 24 hours for Adsense &#8220;robo-accountant-auditor-doctor&#8221; to fully verify the internal logs and finalize your reports — as a result, you may sometimes see changes in your earnings during the course of the day.</p>
<p>Are you suffering from this syndrome? How often do you check your account?</p>

<p>Pacquiao and Cotto&#8217;s fight is one of the best. A highly considered classic fight! <span id="search">One of the best boxing fight of all time. Both fighters gave all their strength, sweat and blood in the name of boxing. They did not fail their fans. </span></p>
<p><span id="search">Cotto is too strong , but Pacquiao put on his dominating performance, utilizing his blazing speed and combination of power from both hands.  Pacquiao knocked Cotto twice and turn his face into a river of blood. On the 55 seconds into the last round, Pacquiao stopped and defeated Cotto via </span>TKO.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/"><img class="aligncenter" title="Manny Pacquiao defeated Cotto" src="http://pixavid.com/uploads/lu5sao.jpg" alt="" width="463" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>But, wait&#8230; this post is not about the fight. I want to discuss the tricks (not techniques) that other bloggers used not only to increase their SERP rank (Search Engine Result Page),  but I want to specifically point out how they blatantly violated Adsense guidelines.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a (not-so) good example.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com"><img class="aligncenter" title="Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto" src="http://pixavid.com/uploads/l0n3g8.jpg" alt="" width="452" height="307" /></a></p>
<p>As you can see from this picture, the only text of this site are those in yellow ellipse. One of Adsense&#8217;s policies is for <strong>publisher not to &#8220;placed on any non-content-based page.&#8221;</strong> Content drives ads. I don&#8217;t know if you can call that page a &#8220;content-based&#8221; page, tell me.</p>
<p>Another example.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com"><img class="aligncenter" title="Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto" src="http://pixavid.com/uploads/l1Hw0S.jpg" alt="" width="505" height="221" /></a></p>
<p>Just like the first example, the only content here is the one you can see on top and that&#8217;s it!  It&#8217;s more like a sub-header than a content. I guess this 2nd example violated another Adsense policy &#8211; <strong>&#8220;not to : Placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads.&#8221;</strong> There&#8217;s nothing on that site except for Google adsense and Chitika ads on the left sidebar (Red ellipse).</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s a very tricky one.<span id="more-692"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogdemanila.com/"><img class="aligncenter" title="Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto" src="http://pixavid.com/uploads/l077Zg.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="481" /></a></p>
<p>Searching for &#8220;manny pacquiao vs miguel cotto live stream&#8221; on Google will lead you on this site. It&#8217;s actually on Google result page no. 1! Just like the previous examples, the only non-Google Adsense on this blog are those in yellow and blue ellipses. Those links on blue ellipse are very tricky. They really blend on the 3 ad links on top, but don&#8217;t you think this site is against Adsense policy &#8211; <strong>&#8220;publishers participating in the AdSense program may not:  Format ads so that they become indistinguishable from other content on that page.&#8221;</strong>?</p>
<p>While the fight was going on for undercards, I&#8217;ve tried to check on some &#8220;pacquiao vs cotto free live stream&#8221;  and I saw two sites that directly violating Adsense policy. One blog that I saw has a pop-up for survey that obscuring the page. Directly underneath the survey form are Adsense ads! <strong>&#8220;Google ads, search boxes or search results may not be:Obscured by elements on a page.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>The 2nd blog had a text to this effect &#8221; Watch free live stream on this link&#8221; and below it are Adsense ad links! The text was committed with contempt.  <img src='http://www.blogdemanila.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> .  It blatantly violated the policy &#8211; <strong>&#8220;publishers participating in the AdSense program may not:Encourage users to click the Google ads using phrases such as &#8220;click the ads&#8221;, &#8220;support us&#8221;, &#8220;visit these links&#8221; or other similar language.&#8221;"</strong> (As of this writing, I think the site has been taken down already because I could not find it anymore!).</p>
<p>The authors of these &#8220;tricky&#8221;  blogs that I discussed here ( these are actually not  blogs but sites made for Adsense) know what they are doing.  They are well versed on SEO. The know it at heart. They&#8217;re applying and practicing the best SEO techniques BUT  they also inviting themselves to get out of Adsense program easily.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not here to ridicule how they&#8217;re using SEO but to educate the readers to be careful on how they use the knowledge they are possessing.</p>
<p>Google Adsense  provides a good income source for many bloggers.  Sure there are a lot of gray areas on how to implement some of the rules, and open to interpretation but it is our responsibility to adhere to the program&#8217;s policy. You cannot accuse  Google like you are arguing with your school principal  using &#8220;I didn’t know it was wrong&#8221; lame excuse.</p>
<p>Whenever in doubt,  use your best judgment to determine your site&#8217;s compliance. If you suspect that an implementation may violate the spirit of one of Adsense policies, I&#8217;d recommend you err on the side of caution and modify the implementation.</p>
<p>If you really don&#8217;t know what to do, ask Google Adsense staff, I assure you they are very helpful.</p>
