Add Floating Share Buttons To Your Blog's Sidebar (For Blogspot)

Best Blogger Tips
Apart from working on traffic and search engine optimization (SEO), there's a need to intergrate your blog with popular social networking platforms. A floating share buttons (social bookmarking) widget by the right of every page is just one of the gadgets you must add to your blog if you intend to get free traffic from facebook and twitter. I wrote a post last week that went viral thanks to the power of facebook sharing. The post received close to 500 facebook likes in just a week! Underestimating the power of share buttons is like neglecting a major source of traffic to your blog. I've already written several posts on integrating your blogger hosted site with facebook, google plus and the rest of them. These posts include adding like buttons to individual blog postsadding google plus buttons to blog posts,facebook comment box for blogger and large share buttons under blog posts among others.

Having a floating share buttons widget makes it even easier for your blog visitors to share your blog posts they find interesting. Unlike the previous ones, it's easy to get this done as you won't need to do any sort of HTML editing on your template. The floating sidebar sharing widget comes with the most popular social sites. You can see the widget just at the right side of this page and it scrolls with the page, leaving your visitor no choice but to share your content.

How To Add Floating Share Buttons On The Sidebar

1. Log in to your blogger account and click on Design

2. You're now looking at your blog's layout, right? Click on Add A Gadget on the sidebar.

3. Select HTML/Java Script

4. Paste the code below into the box and save. There's no need for a title.



<!--SideBar Floating Share Buttons Code Start-->

<style>

#pageshare {position:fixed; bottom:15%; right:10px; float:left; border: 1px solid black; border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;background-color:#eff3fa;padding:0 0 2px

5. Save the widget and preview your blog.

If you already have a google plus button above or below your posts, the one in the widget might not appear. It seems you can't have two +1 buttons on a page.

If you're using a dark template, you can try out the code below if you don't quite like the first one:

How To Make Money Online ?

Best Blogger Tips

Making Money Online With PPC


Pay Per Click is a way to drive traffic to your site. You create small written ads for your product or site and then place the ads with one of the PPC network companies, such as Google AdWords or even social media sites like facebook or even eBay. People click on the ads and go to your site. You only pay for the ad when someone clicks on the ad.Generally speaking, the more you are willing to pay per click, the higher on the list your ad will show up in a search when someone searches for the keywords you used in the ad. You can create ad campaigns like this for your own site or learn to manage this form of advertising for other people sites. Many website owners are looking to outsource this task as pay per click campaign management can be very cumbersome when approaching ad spends of $100,000 monthly. With a solid foundation and, when properly executed, PPC Advertising can drive a great deal of highly qualified traffic to your site very quickly and bring huge profits to your bottom line in no time.
Google AdWords allows you to run advertising on Google’s internet ad network. The ads you see on the right side of the page when you Google something (A.K.A. search on Google) are called AdWords. You determine the keywords that you want to use and create the ad. The ad then may appear in a Google search or on someone’s webpage. You only pay for the ad when someone clicks on the ad. You also have the ability to control how much you want to spend each day. For example you may want to set a limit of $6.00 per day with a cost of .20cents per click. Google has tools to help you figure out where the ad might appear based on other people that are using the same keywords and how much they are paying per click. So if you have a product or a service on a website, you can get traffic by running Google Ads
Google AdSense allows you to place Google ads on your website. Essentially it’s AdWords that runs on your website, instead of and/or in addition to, the ads running on the right side of Google search result page. Google does a fairly good job at matching ads for your site. So if you have a site about photography, ads related to the photography niche would run on your site. You make money from AdSense when a visitor to your site clicks on the ad. You can run these ads on any kind of website that you have, assuming the site meets Google guidelines. You can even design a site with the sole purpose of running AdSense on the site for revenue although just like any other site, made for AdSense sites must have valuable content and be useful to the reader.
Installing the AdSense code is not at all difficult and Google does a good job at explaining the whole program. It’s not unusual for well trafficked sites to make in excess of ONE MILLION dollars a month, each and every month, from AdSense style advertising network advertisements.
PPC Arbitrage simply is buying low and selling high only in this case, you are buying and selling the same *space* while taking advantage of price differences on the different PPC networks.mmos-arbitrage Let’s say one ad network is selling a topics ad space for 15c/click and a competing ad network is selling the same topics ad space for 1/click. You keep the difference in price. Unfortunately the risks can easily be as high as the profit. Typically you have to buy the traffic before you can sell it. Example, you advertise on a low cost pay per click network, you then have the ads landing page display the high paying ads of the same type. The trick is to have just the right information on your sites landing page. If your info is too good, your prospects won’t have to click on the ads. If it’s not good enough, you may not be deemed worthy of displaying the ads.

Social Media – Getting Started With Twitter

Best Blogger Tips

Twitter is just another example of the light speed at which communications are catapulting forward, and corporate America (as well as home business online marketers) should do our best to keep up. Social Radar, a research group reporting on activity and trends in social media, ranked Twitter number one in June 2009. Close on their heels were iPhone, Google and Facebook. Yes my friends, there were more “tweets” (140 character exchanges on Twitter) than there were searches on Google.
Let’s start with the basics. What is Twitter? Twitter is a text only platform that launches discussion and banter with a basic question, “What are you doing?” The answers must be 140 characters or less and are sent via the web, mobile texting, instant message and or a variety of applications.
But what is it really? Depends on who you ask. To some, Twitter is a fun escape from the doldrums of the job, home life or commute; to some it is a way to feel close to friends, family and associates (divided by schedules or geography); to some it’s an instant communication and information dissemination device; and most importantly to home business professionals like you, Twitter is the one of the most powerful, real time marketing system now in play.
But, before we go any further, get it out of your head that Twitter is mysterious and complicated. It’s just a communication vehicle that allows people and companies to deliver bite-sized messages…in 140 characters or less. And where all the people are – is where those who are running a business from home need to be too.
But, you ask – isn’t Twitter just a big waste of time? Well, yes and no. Is TV a waste of time? Is listening to radio a waste of time? What about surfing the web, flipping through a newspaper, reading email, talking on Skype, checking Facebook or cable news? The answer to all of the above is – yes… sometimes – and sometimes not. Like all media, people can choose what they want from Twitter. All media can be engaged for fun, relaxation, education, major announcements, public relations and access to breaking news. It doesn’t matter what peoples’ intentions are. All you need to remember is that millions of people live on Twitter, giving you millions of opportunities to reach them!!
Unlike traditional media however, Twitter can also be used for advice, personal branding, feedback, directions, self or business promotion and marketing.
Immediately you are taken to a page that already has you email address filled in – and asks for your password. If you type in your password, the system automatically sends a message to everyone in your contact list inviting them to follow you on Twitter. If you want every single person in your system to receive this email, then fill in your password and allow Twitter’s automatic email invitation to run. This can take a few minutes. If you DO NOT want Twitter to send an invitation to everyone in your contact list, do NOT fill in your password! Just go to the top right and click “skip”. People who have both business and personal contacts in their computer may not want one group or the other to be included. You can always have one Twitter account for personal use, and one for business.
A good way to expand your following is to check out Twitter account of others you know – or people whose tweets you find interesting. Check out their followers. When you mouse over their name, a brief bio or description comes up. If you like it, begin following them. Chances are, the people they are following will be like-minded. Next, check out some groups and search for individuals who may be good prospects.
Another way to find people you may want to follow is to visit search.twitter.com. This is actually a Twitter site, but it provides more options for finding people. When you get to this site’s homepage, click on “advanced search,” and quite a few options come up that are pretty self explanatory. Similar to how you can add information in a Google search by adding the plus sign (+), you can fill in more than one of the search fields for more specific results.
Before you can accelerate you business using the Twitter platform, you need to use it a little and get a feel for how it works, what kind of tweets you like, and some Twitter etiquette. This can happen pretty fast though, so dive in and get started.

5 Link Building Mistakes

Best Blogger Tips

Link Building is an important aspect of any website SEO campaign. Lots have been written about it and that’s why we are not going to discuss here “how to get backlinks for your site “. As clear from the title of post, we are concentrating on things which should be avoided during link building campaign.
Why does anyone try to increase the backlinks? Obviously to increase SERP of site and to improve SEO and page rank. But what if same process acts in the other way? Wrong link building strategy can really hamper your site in search engine rankings. So while increasing backlinks try to avoid the these basic mistakes

1. Same/Single Anchor Text

In link building tips you will always find to use anchor text and put your keywords in anchor text. But what if you start using single anchor text in each link building technique e.g commenting, forum signature etc?
Search engines algorithms are much refined and smarter now. It would signal that they are not the natural links, rather they are manipulated for improving search engine ranking for a specific keyword. So use a set of anchor texts instead of using single anchor text.

2. Rapid Increase in Backlinks in Short Period

There are many link building companies offering their paid services to increase the inlinks in short time. By using such services your links might increase in a short time but again would it be look natural that you have 1000 links at start of January and 10000 links at the end of January?  Obviously, no.
So if it’s not looking natural to you, same is the case with the search engines. Link building is an ever going process and should be increased at natural pace.

3. Major Chunk of Links from Single Site

Your link should be well distributed over different WebPages. I have personal experience of it. My blog was having Google Page Rank 2 after few months of its creation; it was free Blogger hosted blog at that time, I tried to increase the inlinks by joining a SEO forum and took part actively on the forum and after few days my links increased, but at next Google pagerank update my blog rank came down to zero. After trying to asses what has happened actually, I came to the conclusion that it’s because my major inlinks (about 90%) came from a single site.

4. Excessive Link Exchange

Link exchange is another link building technique in which two publishers exchange their links to have good ranking. Do not exchange link excessively as it will not look natural. Google Matt Cutts said in an interview that
“At first we said avoid the reciprocal links. Really, what you need to do is avoid the excessive reciprocal links. So we added the word excessive.
Because, if you look at the Google directory, which is like the open directory in Dmoz except with PageRank and the Yahoo directory, it’s almost certain that Google links to Yahoo and Yahoo links to Google on some level.”
So one can exchange the link but if your site has excessive links to sites which have your links, then it can cause trouble.

5. Excessive Links from Low Rank Sites

Its one of the basic things in link building that a link from a quality site is better than 100 links from low rank sites. So try to get the quality link by using methods like interesting and topic related comments, writing guest posts etc. It’s better to invest time to have the permanent quality links rather than to waste hours in getting low links.


18 Common Mistakes that Violate Google Adsense TOS

Best Blogger Tips

Google Adsense publishers often commit common� mistakes that could ban their Adsense account. Google Adsense is a popular web advertising program which provides a good income source for many websites. There are well defined terms of service to strictly adhere to when participating in the program.
On my visit through sites and forums, I daily notice several instances of misuse of Adsense ads. So here a few helpful Google Adsense tips, probably many you already know, and few you might gain by knowing now. These adsense faq are all picked from the Program PoliciesTerms and Conditionsand FAQ itself and presented in a simplified manner.
1. Never click your own adsense ads or get them clicked for whatever reason. You know this one very well. This is a surefire way to close you Adsense account. Never tell your office associates or friends to click on them. Keep a check if your family or children are busy increasing your income by clicking your ads and indirectly trying to stop your income. Dont even think of offering incentives for clicks, using automated clicking tools, or other deceptive software. Adsense is very smart to detect fraudulent clicks. Check the ads which appear on your pages by the Google Preview tool if required.
2. Never change the Adsense code. There are enough means of adsense optimization & customizations available to change the colour, background or border to suit your needs. Do whatever you want to do outside the code, never fiddle within the ad or the search code. They know it when you do. The search code has more limitations to colour and placement, but you should adhere to the rules. The code may stop working and violates the TOS.
3. Do not place more than 3 ad units and 3 ad links or 2 adsense search boxes on any web page. Anyway, ads will not appear in those units even if you place more ad units. But this is the limit they set, so it is better to stick to it.
4. Do not run competitive contextual text ad or search services on the same site which offer Google Adsense competition in their field. Never try to create link structures resembling the adsense ads. Never use other competitive search tools on the same pages which have Adsense powered Google search. They do allow affiliate or limited-text links. Update: Google has allowed you to run contextual advertising like Yahoo ads, Chitika etc provided the ads do not resemble Adsense ads.
5. Do not disclose confidential information about your account like the CTR, CPM and income derived via individual ad units or any other confidential information they may reveal to you. However, you may reveal the total money you make as per recent updates to the TOS.
6. Label headings as “sponsored links” or “advertisements” only.Other labels are not allowed. I have seen many sites label ads with other titles. Dont make your site a target in a few seconds gaze.
7. Never launch a New Page for clicked ads by default. Adsense ads should open on the same page. You may be using a base target tag to open all links in a new window or frame by default. Correct it now as they do not want new pages opening from clicked ads.
8. One Account suffices for Multiple websites. You do not need to create 5 accounts for 5 different websites. One account will do. If you live in the fear that if one account is closed down for violation of TOS, believe me they will close all accounts when they find out. You can keep track of clicks by using channels with real time statistics. They will automatically detect the new site and display relevant ads.
9. Place ads only on Content Pages. Advertisers pay only for content based ads. Content drives relevant ads. Although you might manage some clicks from error, login, registration, “thank you” or welcome pages, parking pages or pop ups, it will get you out of the program.
10. Do not mask ad elements. Alteration of colours and border is a facility to blend or contrast ads as per your site requirements. I have seen many sites where the url part is of the same colour as the background. While blending the ad with your site is a good idea, hiding relevant components of the ads is not allowed. Also do not block the visibility of ads by overlapping images, pop ups, tables etc.
11. Do not send your ads by email. Html formatted emails look good and allow placement of these javascript ads. But it is not allowed as per TOS. You do not want impressions registering on their logs from any email even once. They are watching!
12. Keep track of your content. So Adsense is not allowed on several non content pages. But it is also not allowed on several content pages too. Do not add it on web pages with MP3, Video, News Groups, and Image Results. Also exclude any pornographic, hate-related, violent, or illegal content.

13. Do not alter the results after ad clicks or searches
 – Ensure you are not in any way altering the site which the user reaches to after clicking the ads. Do not frame, minimize, remove, redirect or otherwise inhibit the full and complete display of any Advertiser Page or Search Results Page after the user clicks on any Ad or Search results.
14. Avoid excessive advertising and keyword stuffing – Although the definition of ‘excessive’ is a gray area and is subject to discretion, yet Google adsense with correct placement, focused content and high traffic will get you much more income than other programs, so excessive advertising is not required. Keyword stuffing does target better focused ads, but overdoing it is not required.
15. Ensure you Language is Supported – Adsense supports “Chinese (simplified), Japanese, Danish, Korean, Dutch, Norwegian, English, Polish, Finnish, Portuguese, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Hungarian, Swedish, Italian and Turkish”. In addition, AdSense for search is available in Czech, Slovak, and Traditional Chinese. If your web pages language is not supported, do not use the code on such pages.
Update:
16. Maximum 2 referral button per product per page – With the launch of the google adsense referral program, you are allowed to put only 2 referral buttons for adsense referral, adwords referral, Google pack and Firefox with google toolbar referral. Update: This feature is closing Aug 2008.
17. Do not specify Google ads as your alternate ads. – Several services like Chitika eminimalls allow you to place alternate urls, when a targeted paying ad cannot be displayed. This involved creating an simple html page and putting the ad to be displayed instead. Even Adsense allows an alternate url feature instead of displaying public service ads. But never use Adsense ads as alternate urls.
18. Do not confuse with adjacent images – It was a common policy to increase CTR by placing same number of images as the number of text ads, which falsely gave the impression that the text ads represented an explanation to these images. Inserting a small space or a line between the images and ads is not allowed. Make sure that the ads and images are not arranged in a way that could easily mislead or confuse your visitors. More.
Whenever in doubt, it is better to ask for adsense help from the learned staff of Google Adsense. They are very helpful!

AdSense Tip #5: Manage your own AdSense account

Best Blogger Tips
My series of AdSense tips (the inspiration for my AdSense book Make Easy Money with Google) continues with a tip about who should control an AdSense account. This tip comes directly from a conversation I had with someone who had been ripped off. Why were they ripped off? Because they weren't in control of their AdSense account.



I say should because the reality is that many people outsource the management of their sites third parties. Not everyone has the time or the expertise to develop their own Web pages (though it's not that's difficult to learn the basics, as I show in Make Easy Money with Google), so outsourcing the development and maintenance of a site may make sense in many cases. But don't outsource the management of your AdSense account or, worse yet, let someone else use their own account to display ads on your site. The AdSense account should be registered in your name (or the name of your business), not in anyone else's name. The money should be sent to you directly, as should the tax information. If you want to give the guys maintaining your site a cut of the revenue, fine, but do it yourself from the money that Google sends you, don't have the money sent to Google.
For similar reasons, make sure that the ownership and control of your domain name rests with you and not a third party. Your domain name (or domain names, it's common to have more than one, even if they just point to the same site) is a valuable resource, it's part of your brand. Take the time to learn how to use a domain name registrar (it's easy) and manage the names yourself. If you ever have problems with your hosting service, for example, you won't be held hostage by them (you do have local backup copies of your website, don't you?) if you control the domain name — there are plenty of web hosting companies out there eager for your business.

Google AdSense Tips

Best Blogger Tips

Tip #1: Don't put ads on empty pages.

When I reworked my site, I built a skeleton set of pages that had no content, just titles and some meta tags. I displayed ads on those pages, however. Although all you see are public service ads at first, the very act of displaying ads on a page causes the AdSense web crawler to quickly fetch that page for analysis. A page with good content will thus begin showing relevant paying ads fairly quickly.
If you don't have any content, then, Google will have to guess as what your page is about. It may guess wrong, and so the ads that it displays may not be relevant. You'll have to wait until Google re-crawls the site for the ads to correct themselves. Here is what Google had to say when I asked them about how often the AdSense crawler updates a site:
Thank you for taking the time to update your site. New ads will start appearing on your site the next time our crawler re-indexes your site. Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to control how often our crawlers index the content on your site.
Crawling is done automatically by our bots. When new pages are added to your website or introduced to the AdSense program, our crawlers will usually get to them within 30 minutes. If you make changes to a page, however, it may take up to 2 or 3 weeks before the changes are reflected in our index. Until we are able to crawl your web pages, you may notice public service ads, for which you will not receive any earnings.
It's better to flesh out the page before you start displaying ads on it.

Tip #2: Don't be afraid to ask questions

If you're wondering about something, don't be afraid to ask Google. So far, they've always responded to my questions within a working day. There are two email addresses to use, depending on the type of question:
Please feel free to email us at adsense-tech@google.com if you have additional technical questions or concerns. For general program or account questions, please email adsense-support@google.com.
Their responses are always very polite, and they appreciate getting problem reports and suggestions.

Tip #3: Avoid non-English characters on English pages

This one is a bug, to be honest. My surname is French, and I prefer to write it out correctly with the accent grave on the first "e". Every page on my site would then include at least two accented letters, because my name shows up twice in the footer. On some pages my name shows up two or three more times.
Normally, this wouldn't be an issue. But on some pages the presence of the accented characters is enough to cause AdSense to display non-relevant ads in French. This happens whether the browser indicates a preference for French or not. When I reported this to Google, this is the answer they gave me:
Hello Eric,
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.
We are currently working as quickly as we can to address this problem. As soon as we have more information for you, we will email you again.
We appreciate your patience.
Sincerely,
The Google Team
Until this is resolved, I've decided to strip out all accents except on the pages that are actually in French.

Tip #4: Check your keyword density

Although Google doesn't release exact details as to how they determine the ads to serve on a given page, they do tell us that it's the text content of the page that matters, not the meta tags. Before serving ads on a page, then, you might want to check its keyword density. A good, free tool for doing this is found here:
http://www.ranks.nl/tools/spider.html
This lets you fine-tune the page before exposing it to the AdSense crawler.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Best Blogger Tips

Affiliate marketing has many descriptions, yet all have the same meaning. Affiliate marketing is a enormous business piece on the Internet. It is a cooperative effort in-between merchants and an affiliate’s website.
For many years presently , affiliate marketing has proved to be a cost-efficient, measurable method of delivering long-tern results. It has become famous for Internet sites who’re trying to make some extra or additional income for their location . Every day, folks get interested to affiliate marketing and want to make money out of it. But in many cases, these unused affiliates do not fully comprehend the affiliate universe and make costly mistakes. In other words, affiliate marketing has frequently been misunderstood.

One of the common misconceptions that are being associated about affiliate marketing is “selling”, though selling is an necessary activity of affiliate marketing and the central function of a business operation. Another is that affiliate marketing is commonly linked with “advertising”. While the importance of advertising in marketing a certain product is not to be underestimated, the fact of the matter is, advertising like selling, is merely a part of the many functions of marketing. In affiliate marketing, an affiliate is compensated for each visitor, subscriber and/or customer provided through his efforts. The said compensation may be created based on a certain value for each visit. The most attractive aspect of affiliate marketing from the merchant’s viewpoint is that no payment is due to an affiliate until results are appreciated.
Affiliate marketing is typically being run by affiliate networks and this affiliate networks are composed of two functional bodies, the group affiliates and the group merchants. Each has their special function and role when it comes to affiliate marketing. The affiliate network acts as a third party in-between the merchant and the associated affiliates. The network provides the technology to deliver the merchant’s campaigns and offers. The affiliate network too collects commission fees from the merchant and then pays the affiliates which are part of the program.
The merchant is any web site owner that wants or desires to take advantage of performance based marketing. The benefits to the merchant are many. First, the merchant maintains and operates the affiliate program. If it would be extracted, the merchant needs to do their part by researching interested affiliate websites to ensure that they are a good fit for that particular website.
Finding a fit for their merchandise would be the key to more generated income. The merchant has access to markets and customers without him spending valuable time searching out. Banner ads on affiliate sites are not distracting to the location user. It might produce interest for that product and drive the consumer to the merchants’ website. It is also the merchant who decides how much she is willing to pay for each sale that results from a visitor sent from an affiliate. The affiliate or the affiliate marketer also sees a lot of benefits.
The affiliate is a web location owner that promotes one or more merchants and their affiliate programs. Affiliate marketing can generate a full-time income for the affiliate. But this is not an easy task to accomplish. The affiliate needs to have a better understanding with the merchant what the commission will be, expected payment method and time implicated in the contract. The affiliate has too the responsibility to stand for the merchandise their user based would be most fascinated in. For instance , if the location has an user base of mainly stay-at-home fathers , then on-line job openings such as surveys would be a good match for them. This group would also appreciate direct links to children’s products and informational sites.
Merchandisers frequently provide targeted, best-seller items and personal support to their affiliate. They frequently offer sales promotions that will benefit the merchandiser as well as the affiliate. Affiliate marketing is a great situation for both the marketer and the affiliate. If they’d work together, they can be an advantage to both. Plus the fact that it seems to make sense, it is easy and inexpensive way to begin , and you can be up and running within a several days. But there is one thing to consider, it is how to get traffic and make your offer different than all others.

2. Click-through-rate (CTR) is ratio of clicks per impressions. It can range from 0.1% to 30%, but most commonly around 1% to 10%.
3. Cost-per-click (CPC) is the earning you get per click. While traditionally it refers to the amount advertisers pay for each click, it can also mean the amount publishers get for each click.

In the age of internet, it is very tough to get top rank in search engines for a particular keywords even if your website has good PR and back links. It is due to lack of SEO techniques.

Remember these points when targeting the keywords:

1. First of all do not target your page with single keyword. Use keyword combination. If your website is related to travel in India, target it by "India Travel" not by India or by travel.

2. Use keyword suggestion tools to find the idea of appropriate keyword for a particular page. The popular keyword suggestion tools are google, keyword discovery, etc.

3. Must use your keyword in heading tag, 1-2 times in title and description, means not more than 7-8 times. Do not repeat it excessive to get higher in search engine ranking. It is against the search engine guidelines and your website can be penalize.

4. Use misspelled words in the page. If your one of the page is providing tour information on Taj Mahal then use "Tag Mahal" because people from outside India using it and will be beneficial for you.

5. Title tag should not more than 5-15 words, description should be up to 200-225 words and keywords should not more than 150 words.
