What Is Going On With Google Panda Updates?

Google has become the major player in the search pages used by the majority of the Western world. This has placed it in a significant position of power and changes lately make you wonder if that power is beginning to be missused, intentionally or otherwse. Since the first Panda updates back in the Spring websites have been hit left right and center. In many cases these are decent websites that desreve to appear in a decnt ranked position in the search results but good sites have been almost wiped out by the changes Google has made.

It is hard to see what the benefits are. There are many reports of scraped and copied content appearing in a much higher ranked position than the original authors content. It makes no sense.

The search engiines claim to always be looking for the most rellevent results for their customers and, I guess, for other reasons sometimes the copied content looks better to them. With a few additional keywords sprinkled around the page like fairy dust a copied article may seem to be a better result to the search engine bots. It is totally unfair on the original author though and arguably providing a less impressive website for the search engine user to visit.

Many people would claim that the whole debacle of the Panda updates has been a disaster for Google, for their customers and for the website owners who put a lot of effort into producing decent articles and information for their website visitors.

Hubpages is an example of a good site that has thousands of users who publish articles on the website and in exchange get a percentage of any advertising payments. There are a large number of excellent authors providing very good quality content. There are thousands of well researched and well written articles that any visitor would be delighted to discover and read.

The first Panda update decimated the traffic to the hubpages website. The further updates, and there have been several, have done little to help Googles users find the good quality sites that exist on Hubpages website. The reverse is true.

The owners of the Hubpages website have taken all sorts of steps to try to clean out any poor quality hubs. They have stopped people linking to anything that might be seen as poor quality site. The restricted sites include such established players as clickbank presumably due to the large numbers of make money today schemes offered there alongside the good quality ebooks, videos and CDs.

A recent move to using subdomains on Hubpages appeared to have turned things around but in the last week or so many of the good quality hubpages have disappeared from the search engine results. Who knows what the reason is this time. It may be that since the subdomains have all suddenly appeared Google have sandboxed them for a few months thinking their sudden appearanc is suspicious.

Who knows what is going on in the great google mind in the sky. Whatever their intentions when they introduced the Panda updates it seems that the effects have been a disaster for their search results and for thousands, and perhaps millions, of enthusiastic authors of webpages and articles all over the world.

It is depressing to find that putting the effort in to writing good quality articles is wasted. Google does not appear to want quality. Their robotic analysis appears to favor junk over quality. It is so disheartening to find that thanks to a damn computer the common sense decisions of what is good or not has been turned on its head. No longer is quality a good thing. Rubbish is now better just so long as it has the features that the google robots are looking for. It could be complete jibberish but that would not seem to matter in the eyes of Google.

None of us knows for sure what it is that causes Google to rate one page higher than another. It may be that the pages with videos from Youtube get a better ranking because Google owns youtube. It could be the number of keywords or the variety of similar keywords. Perhaps it is down to the percentage of keywords compared to the number of words on a page. We simply don't know but in my opinion, at the moment, Google is not doing a very good job for their customers. Maybe having poor search engine results means they get more adwords clicks on the search pages.

There are businesses that provided a perfectly good service for their visitors who have been decimated by these changes and many decent poeple are suffering thanks to Google and its whims. Such irresponsibility is to be expected. Google is a private company. They have no duty the the world other than their shareholders and it may be the changes have been very profitable but it has made the internet a less useful place for the users and has made producing good quality content a waste of time for website owners and authors. Let us hope that for the good of the internet Google changes their direction and begins to put quality first before we all disappear in a swamp of poor quality webpages that the intoduction of Adsense started.

Terry — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 13:49:09 +0000

Get Your Own Copy Of The Squeeze Page Creator To Host On Your Own Domain!

Make and save as many squeeze pages as your mind will allow you to come up with! This software is highly sought after and can be yours today!

There is no question about it. Building backlinks helps a site rank well in the search engines. Building backlinks is one of those things you need to do to promote your website. In an ideal world none of this would be needed and people would just discover your website becaue it provides good content. Unfortunately this is not the case.

So, you need backlinks but where do you go to get them? What is the most effective way of using your time to find good quality backlinks that link back to your website.

There are all sorts of ideas and software out there that is supposed to help you do this. Some good and some not so good but I want to tell you about one backlink software program that seems to be a superb way to find good sites to get backlinks from and it makes it so easy, you would not believe. So, watch the video below and be amazed.

The software finds the tp 10 results for any keyword you give it and then analyzes the links to the sites in the top ten results. You can then search through the results to find blogs where you can leave comments and get a backlink to your website.

If you want to, you can let the software automatically post comments but I would suggest you do this manually for the best results. When leaving comments on blogs you will have a better success rate if you read the post and leave a sensible and relevant comment that the publisher will happily approve.

The result is high value backlinks to your website with only moderate time and effort.

I am super impressed with this software and I suggest you check it out at.. Backlinks Monster

Rewrite And Distribute Articles Or Not?

Social Network Explosion

If You Are Not Using Facebook Marketing to Drive Traffic and Sales to Your Websites You Are Missing Out on a Huge Opportunity

When you publish an article on your website or blog you hope the world will want to come and read it. You can put your heart and soul into that article but at the end of the day, it is the search engines who will decide how much traffic you get and how many people read the article.

The search engines will evaluate your site and the article and in some weird and wonderful way they will decide how important your article is and rate it accordingly.

If you article is similar to other articles in some shape or form it may not be as well rated as if it is seen as being entirely unique after all, nobody wants to see the search results full of several articles that all appear to be saying the same thing in the same way.

For this reason I don't think it is such a good idea to rewrite articles you have already published and post them elsewhere on the internet. You may gain a backlink and backlinks are almost always good but what if your rewrite of the article is seen as being more important than your original article?

You could end up with the article directory or whatever other site you post to taking the search engine result spot you were hoping to get. Computers use algorithms to decide these things so a well respected article directory could well be seen as more important than your site so a similar article could easily push you out of the top search results.

You would, of course, get a decent backlink from a well rated page but that is clearly not as useful as having that page of yours appear in a good position in the search results.

It is a personal opinion but I would resist the temptation to rewrite and spread your versions of an article around the web and instead write a fresh article just for distribution purposes.

How To Make Money Online Without Spending Any Money

WP Optin Form For Wordpress

Private Label Rights!

Use The WPOptinForm Plugin To Build Your List With Every Post To Your Wordpress Blog!

If you want to know how to make money online without spending any money read this article and follow the advice given. Every day there are people deciding they want to make money online and most of them will put a lot of effort and enthusiasm into it, at first. They will read everything they can and buy lots of ebooks, guides and courses on how to make money online. They will spend a lot of money and I bet that 90% of them give up after a few months with their tail between their legs and they tell their friends this Internet thing doesn't work. They will look back and wonder if they were mugs to spend all that money and wonder where it all went wrong.

Well, they weren't mugs and it wasn't exactly that they went wrong but the internet can be a hard nut to crack when you are new to it all. There are billions of pounds, dollars and Yen being made every month online by companies large and small. There are people working in their bedrooms raking in significant amounts of money every day. It can be done but it takes time to learn and it is all too easy to end up buying information and advice that never quite seems to get you where you want to be.

I suggest you start with a different approach. In this way of working you spend nothing at all and you build up slowly and learn how the internet and internet marketing works before you start spending money and not the other way around.

You start out by going to How To Make Money With Hubpages and read the article there about making money with hubpages. Next you sign up for a free account of your own. Click the 'make new page' link and decide on a subject for your first article. Don't worry too much about the first one. Use it as a test run for learning how you go about writing, editing, adding extra features and so on. It is all very straightforward but it may seem a little strange at first like anything new does.

Having got your feet wet setting up and publishing your first page you can start developing things a bit more. There's an article here about How To Make $1000 Per Month On Hubpages which makes interesting reading and it seems perfectly doable to me.

All you have to do is write an interesting article when you have some spare time. At first you may wonder why you haven't made any money but stick with it. Write more articles and over time you will find more visitors reading your pages and more clicks on adverts which make you money.

You get the benefit of being part of an authority site that google rates very well and your articles have every chance of appearing near the top of the search engines and getting traffic to your hubpages. All this costs you nothing at all and you avoid the problems of managing websites and servers and registering domain names. If you want to know how to make money online without spending any money I think this is the best way available right now.

The latest version of WordPress Version 3.0 has been released and you are looking at it. I just upgraded and it all went smoothly and all appears to be working just fine. The dashboard looks very similar to 2.9.2 but there is a lot more under the hood to be discovered.

The first thing I noticed which is a very welcome improvement is the simple update of multiple plugins which will be a bit of a timesaver for those who have lots of blogs to update when you discover several plugins have been updated since you last looked, which seems to happen to me quite often. It's telling me I have eleven to update here right now!

One welcome improvement is a change to the default worldpress theme. The new one, called Twenty Ten, is a very smart looking theme that looks great yet remains simple and clean.

Problems For Users Of Blogger Websites

Instant Indexer Software Giveaway

100% FREE!

Get Your Websites And Blogs Indexed By Google And Other Search Engines In One Hour With This Brand New FREE Software!

There has been a lot of talk recently about some changes that Google seems to be forcing on those people who have been producing blogger blogs and putting adsense on those blogs.

It may seem odd since blogger and adsense are both owned by the big G but there have been a lot of user producing hundreds of blogger blogs with adsense ads on them but little in the way of original content and it seems the powers that be have decided to clean up their system and get rid of these lightweight websites.

Some very well regarded, established blogs have been caught up in this change and while some have simply found their sites de-indexed by G others have had their sites taken down, never to be seen again. If you have put a lot of work into a website over many months that can be very upsetting but ultimately Blogger can do whatever they want. It is after all their main site and they decide on the rules.

This event emphasizes the importance of developing sites you can control by using your own domain name and renting server space to host the sites on. Use a good website backup system to keep copies of your sites and if anything goes wrong, whether it is a hacker taking down your site, your hosting company losing your files or any unforeseen disaster, you will be able to have your site up and running again in a short time.

If you want to develop a long term business with your websites the old ways are the best ways. Your own domain hosted on server space you control, publishing unique content that is of value to your visitors. It may take longer to build sites that make you money but over the long term you should have a business model that continues to work and keeps you on good terms with the search engine gods.

Negative Thinking Will Not Help You Make Money Online

You quite often see successful and experienced marketers commenting or complaining about how negative a lot of people are on forums when talking about making money online. They have a point and there is a lot of negativity out there. Oftentimes the negativity is unfair in relation to the specific product or technique being discussed but while in any situation there will be both positive and negative people I think there is a particular reason why there is so much negative opinion around.

How many times have you bought a product that gave you the impression that it would help you make your fortune? How many fortunes have you made? Not too many I bet. Some will always achieve success but for many it seems to elude them whatever they buy and whatever they do.

Almost every internet marketing product claims to be the solution to your financial worries and when you hand over you money you sort of have the feeling that you will make your money back time and time again. If that doesn't happen and you buy product after product and it never seems to do anything other than empty your wallet it can make you very cynical and very negative.

It has become common practice that after you agree to buy one product you are offered yet another as an 'upsell' at a special price. It makes good sense for the seller to try to encourage you to buy more while you are in the buying mood. Sometimes the upsell really will help to automate or assist with the main product being sold but if you have been sold on the idea that the main product is the solution to making a success of your online enterprise and making lots of money you would be right to question whether you should need anything else.

So often, it seems, the marketers who are claiming to make so much money are doing so by selling you stuff about how to make money online. Nothing new here as selling the idea of how to get rich has always been a lucrative business in the offline world for decades, perhaps hundreds of years.

The classic tale of this type of business is the advert in the newspaper or magazine that offers to sell you the secret to how to make a few hundred or thousand dollars so you send off your $10 or whatever and back comes a single sheet of paper with the secret information. It tells you to put an advertisement in the paper offering to sell the secret to making money for ten dollars.

Maybe the crazy thing is that it can work, you proved it by sending the ten dollars off but the point is that by appealing to eager and even desperate people you can sell them on a dream and deliver very little.

If you read some of the guides sold on how to make money on the internet you will be told to produce your own product in as little as three days. They say it doesn't matter if you don't know the subject you are writing about just knock something out and start selling it. I don't know about you but when I buy a book in an offline bookstore I expect that author to have slaved over that book for rather more than a couple of days and I expect them to know something about their subject matter.

There is so much trash being published online now that people will be turned off by the idea of ebooks. If you bought an ebook written in pigeon English by someone who doesn't understand the subject matter you would be extra cautious the next time you were tempted to spend money.

There is a lot of good stuff out there that can help you make money online but there is also a lot of poor quality information that may only explain a small part of an overall business plan yet it is sold as being the solution to your money worries for life. Other guides are sold that may have passed the time when they were effective at doing what they claim to do. What worked well two years ago may not be so effective now, not least because there are so many people who have been persuaded they can make money online and are proceeding to produce blogs and websites. The competition is intense.

The reality is that it gets harder to make money online and you have to be smarter than the next guy. you need to understand how to market products and you need to promote your websites and blogs. You need to learn but you need to be cautious of claims of rapid success. It can happen and probably happens every day for someone but it is also probably true that someone wins a lottery everyday somewhere but the odds are against any particular individual being the winner.

There is a lot of free information online that will help you build a business online. Focus on one plan and stick with it for a while to see if it achieves some results for you. Most systems work if you persevere. Article marketing, blog commenting and taking part in forums will all help build visitor numbers on your website but if you just do a bit and then sit back it may not work out so good.

You need to be focused on what you plan to do and get on and do it. Thinking about doing it won't make you wealthy.

How Much Would You Pay To Run An Online Business?

Terry — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:54:37 +0000

Salespage Tracker Script

Always know whos selling your products!

New Software Allows You To Follow The Resellers Selling YOUR Product, Know If They Are Keeping Your Terms And Sleep Easy At Night...

There are lots of people out there who say they would like to run their own business. They are usually, though not always, referring to running an online business.

It is no surprise that so many people see this as a real possibility. They are constantly being sold on the idea that you can buy a make money online product and be swept into a world of Ferrari sports cars, glamorous yachts and be surrounded by beautiful women, or men, whichever takes your fancy.

Many of these prospective entrepreneurs are to be found on various online marketing forums asking for advice and giving their 'knowledge' gained from reading far too many sales pages. Nothing beats experience and unless you walk the walk you should be cautious about talking the talk. Inexperienced people frequently seem to mislead other beginner online marketers and prospective online business owners but that is the downside of everybody having a voice on the internet. With so much general babble it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the genuine, experience based knowledge from the chatter of the enthusiastic but inexperienced.

We are all entitled to an opinion but when we are saying emphatically that something is the case we should be talking with knowledge and experience of putting those ideas into practice and making them work for us. Too many seem eager to relay what they have read elsewhere that may or may not be correct and they wouldn't know because they never tried it.

They say we now live in the information age and that knowledge is power but when there is so much chatter it is difficult to hear clearly. Most of everything you need to know about online marketing is available for free online, somewhere.

Marketing is hardly a new business and the old established ideas of marketers of old generally still work today, albeit that the system has been updated to work online. It is still about having a product or service to sell and finding a customer who might need that product and then convincing them that they would be happier with your product than without it.

So, if you want to run an online business for free you can. Get yourself a hubpage and write about a product. Get a blogger blog and tell the world about your service. Just be careful what you read and don't assume that because someone has a gazillion posts on a forum they must know what they are talking about. It is interesting to see many people with a lot of posts to their name writing about how they plan to set up a blog soon and start making money online. To those people I say, Stop wasting your time writing forum posts and start writing some content on your own blog.

The cost of setting up your own website with your own domain on your own rented hosting space is minimal. We are talking around $20 to get started and $75 tops, for a year. It is not a huge amount of money yet we see people grumbling about the cost of it. OK, I know times are hard and some people dream of having twenty dollars left at the end of the month. I understand that. If that is you go the free route. Set up Hubpages, Squidoo lenses and write articles for EzineArticles, Goarticles and Article Dashboard. You can make money using free resources and if you are really short of cash start that way.

Most people can afford $20 dollars to spend on various different things and it is only a question of priorities that prevents them. If you can afford to go to a movie you can probably afford to own your own website, run your own online business and potentially make a bit of money. It will cost you around $9 to $10 dollars to register a domain name, from $5 per month for server space. (My server recommendation Is Hostgator. Click here for more info) You might possibly make a lot more than your twenty dollars and you might multiply that number by ten, hundreds or even thousands of times. It is possible but that is not to say it is easy and it requires work, knowledge and dedication together with a slice of good luck.

If you decided to run a real brick and mortar business, how much do you suppose that would cost you? You probably need finance of around $50,000 to $100,000 to run just about any serious realworld business these days so what is twenty dollars? $20 is what it would cost you to get your shop window cleaned before opening. It is a tiny and insignificant amount of money to run a business with.

I know what it is like to struggle to pay the bills. I know how hard it can seem to get an online business generating decent returns that enable you to live a comfortable life but if you want to run your own online business and build something worthwhile that can earn you real money you have to be prepared to invest something into your business.

Now I am not saying you should spend the rent money on internet marketing products. I say exactly the opposite. Do not spend money you cannot afford to lose buying ebooks, guides and courses. Spend time researching for free instead but don't avoid ever getting started. Use the free route. It works and it can earn you some money to invest in your own domains and server space.

Note I said invest. You are not in this to spend money for the sake of it. When you buy a product or a service for your internet marketing business you should be buying with a purpose. Figure out how this new purchase will fit in with your business and how it will improve your efficiency, your returns or your visitor numbers.

What is an online business? IT'S A BUSINESS. Businesses are there to make money, not to keep spending money on the latest hyped up idea that everyone is telling you is essential to your business. It may be essential and it may be effective but it also could just be that these guys and gals promoting it will make some money from convincing you to buy it and they may never have even seen the product before.

I must declare an interest here. I have my automated offers blog attached to this site and while I do like a reccommend the wordpress plugin that runs the publishing of these offers which only costs about $5 if you are interested, I have no idea what is being published on there. It has new products and offers appearing most days. I look at them now and again but they appear as if by magic and I have no experience or knowledge about them. Most seem pretty good and they are usually priced very reasonably but you have to make the choice and decide if they are suitable or not. Don't listen to me or trust the salespages to tell you if you should purchase or not. Use your own judgment and make up your own mind.

There is a lot of good information out there for free and lots of good reports and guides available for just a few dollars. If you want to run your own online business then you should approach the whole thing as a business person and be prepared to invest, what you can afford, in yourself and the business. Avoid the temptation to buy everything out there. Be selective, think about your reasons and benefits for buying anything and how it can help you make money online.

If you had a real bricks and mortar store you wouldn't buy everything from every salesman who walked in and offered you their goods and nor should you do that online. Spend more time working on your websites and less time reading sales pages and participating on forums and you might actually find you are beginning to build an online business.

How Do I Get Backlinks For Traffic To My Website?

Terry — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 19:27:56 +0000

WpStealth Plugin

Cloak Your Links With One Click!

Now you can cloak all of your links, right from inside your Wordpress Dashboard.

One thing about the web is that it is so darn big. How the heck are you supposed to get your website on the first page of the search engines when there are a million other website owners trying to do the same thing? There are two answers to this question. The first, and arguably the most important, is that you must have content that gives the search engines a reason to rank a page on your site highly. If you want to rank for dog training then your webpage had better say a lot about dog training with lots of related words like puppy training, dog treat training or other similar sorts of terms. This is all food for the search engine robots and you need to convince them your site is a good place to send their traffic.

The second important thing you can do to boost the importance of your webpage is to get plenty of backlinks.

You will probably have heard this many times before. You may have got yourself a few backlinks from blog commentating and maybe a few hubpages links, even a few from squidoo or some blogger blog links but it takes a lot of time and it's hard work and while we don't mind a bit of hard work on the road to success with our internet business we would prefer to do more productive things than to numb our brains to death looking for blogs to comment on wouldn't we?

Ah yes, there is something else we can do. Write articles and fire them off to article directories to get some juicy backlinks. Yes, that works and it is a decent long term strategy to build the reputation of your website by having some decent backlinks but once again, it can be brain numbing. How many articles can you write about dog training before your head explodes? Mine does as soon as I even think about writing twenty articles on the same subject. Is there an alternative? Well, yes it would seem there is, read on.

I have been trying out a package of two programs. You can buy them separately or save a bit by purchasing both together. Believe me, the package together makes an amazing combination that will get you lots of backlinks and will save you hours in writing and rewriting articles. The main program is MagicArticleRewriter and having looked at a few article spinning programs I can tell you this one is a goody.

A lot of the cheaper article spinning programs will try to replace words for you and frequently make a real hash of it. The trouble with the English language is that it has similar words with very different meanings, even the same word with different meanings, so when you try to change a word automatically you end up with an article that reads like it was written by an idiot or a martian, or a combination of the two.

This program doesn't try to do everything for you but what it does do is make it real easy to find alternative words and phrases and then simply enter them into the spinnable formatted article. It also allows you to use your own mind and make alterations as you see fit. It is fast and easy to do and there isn't much more can be said about that. It just works.

The real icing on the cake comes when you add the second program in the package. This one is an articlesubmitter and it will automatically publish your unique articles, which it gets from the article spinner program, to about 700 different article directories all over the internet. Not just that but it does a lot of the signin and confirm operations that are required when you first sign up with an article directory. You don't have to send the articles all out at once either. You can set a schedule for how many you want to be sent out each day or every few days or whatever.

Together these two packages make getting backlinks almost fun. You can get a lot of backlinks over a fairly short period of time without a lot of effort and the content you are publishing is good stuff. None of your robot written junk here. Just good articles that you have written or, if you use PLR to start with, edited. This is a great package and you have a 60 day money back guarantee so check it out. I think you will love it too. There's a video on the salespage that shows it in operation so you will see how clever and simple to use it is. Go take a look here ...<MagicArticleRewriter>

Add A Second Blog To Your Domain

Terry — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:43:08 +0000

QR Codes Are HOT!

Best Kept Advertising Secret...

The cat is out of the bag...QR Codes are sweeping America and are here to stay. Use QR Codes for your business and see more traffic and sales...

You will have noticed I have been raving about the commission automator plugin that I am super impressed with. I think you should buy i if you have any blogs that sell stuff. Anyway, the plugin has several options for how often you add offers to your blog.

Since I wanted to see it in full action I had it posting a lot of offers to this blog over 24 hours. Trouble with that was that it made the real articles get buried way down under all those offers. Now the sensible thing would be to switch to just publishing an offer every couple of days or maybe once a week but I started thinking about another possibility. What if I could add a second blog to this one that only published the offers and let you switch between the two!

I started to experiment and installed a second blog in another directory and set it all up and whilst it appeared to work just fine there was a problem with the fact that if you clicked on the header of a post on the Offers blog it took you back to the main blog,

I did a quick search online but the only thing I found were questions from people who had suffered a similar problem and hadn't apparently solved it. So, I put my thinking cap on and had a lightbulb moment. You know? One of those moments when if life was a cartoon a big speech ballooon with a picture of a lightbulb would have appeared over the top of my head.
The solution lay in the htaccess file.

If you use permalinks to change the name of your post as it appears in the address bar the server relies on the information in the htaccess file to tell it where to find the files and mine was reverting to the domain htaccess file which told it to look at the main blog installation.

So, to solve the problem all I had to do was to edit a copy of the htaccess file and save it to the new blog folder. I did this and bingo! Everything started working properly as intended.

So, now if you want to find the offers you can click on a link on the side menu and it opens a new window to the second blog on this domain with just the juicy offers there and I can keep all my, hopefully, interesting articles here and easier to find.

So, can you add a second blog on a domain, yes you can. In fact you could us the same database but I don't really see the need. I have always believed you should KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid). I still recommend the commissions automator plugin for your blogs but it might be best if you only add offers every couple of days which is easy to set up which just one click. If you do want to publish more you can simply add another blog and do as I have done which keeps things tidy and uncluttered. I hope this has helped. Feel free to comment below.
