Jammed: Full into Capacity

Google is starting out to roll the new feature that lets Gmail users choose the look and layout of there Gmail dashboard.  Personally, I think the new feature is very timely because the default theme of Gmail looks plain and boring to me.

Users can choose from different layouts, whatever suits their personality, taste and mood.  The Gmail themes come in two sets: the plain ones and the artistic ones with creative backgrounds, images, and icons.

Ashish Mohta at TechnoSpot is lucky enough to experience this new feature first ahead of others and is already seeing the new themes.

To view if you already have this new feature, you can access Settings, then next to the Labs tab is the Themes tab which can let you choose the different themes.  With this new feature, I am sure lots of customized themes will be coming out later.

Choose from different types of Gmail themes.

A great way to expose your article on the search engines is to optimize your articles or blog posts as if they were pages on your website.

Here’s how you can get an article ranked well and generate tons of traffic:

1) Go to Google Adwords’ Keyword Suggestion tool and type in some general keywords in your niche. Look for a good Search Volume and copy those keywords into a spreadsheet or text document.

2) Search for those keywords in quotes on Google. For example, if your keyword is “dog training tips”, that’s
exactly how I would input it in Google.  Look for results of less than 2,000,000. These search terms are relatively easy to rank well for.

3) Write an article, optimized for those keywords.

4) Submit your article to the directories.

5) Start building backlinks to your keyword optimized article(s) as if they were pages on your website. You can try social bookmarking, blog posts, Hub Pages, Squidoo pages, etc. You will soon start getting some tasty placings for your article(s), and ultimately each article will start milking more traffic easily.

Your goal is to have hundreds of articles out there. That’s how you create massive traffic. And massive traffic is how to create massive money! If you are going to offer tips or advice, make a list of what you intend to include in your article.

Can I use the Google Adsense Program if I Do Not Have a Personal Website?

You don’t have to have your own website to use Google Adsense. Google doesn’t usually approve personal pages but that is not written in stone. Consult Google Adsense support pages for more information on what kinds of pages are acceptable. If selling a product or service doesn’t appeal to you, you might consider blogging.

Blogging initially meant web log but has gradually come into its own. There are as many different kinds of blogs as there are blogs themselves. A blog can be like a cyberjournal in that you make daily “journal” entries or it can be more like a newsletter set up to inform or communicate with other people. There are several blogging sites in cyberspace that will allow you to create your own blog pages and have targeted Google Adsense ads running on them.

A few of the most popular :

Why is it important to list your website in web directories? Web directories were hot before the advent of search engines. Previously, people go to these directories to find quality websites, a potential referring traffic for web masters. However, these days, search engines made it easier for internet users to find what they’re looking for; directories were forgotten since then, sadly, even by webmasters.

SEO giants have long been stressing about the importance of building inbound links through web directories. Submitting your site to good and high-PR directories is one way of getting quality links that are highly valued by the search engines. Web directories are mainly human edited, thus a website must pass a strict criteria to get listed, hence quality links are only listed. These links are search engine friendly. Since they are organized in highly focused categories making them an invaluable resource for search engines to measure the quality and the relevance of a website.

Web directories are, thus, important not because they give direct referral traffic, but because they are given importance by the search engines to qualify and rank web pages and determine their relevance.

Two weeks ago, Google made modifications on Adsense Terms and Condition requiring publishers to create a privacy policy for each of their websites using Adsense.

We’ve also added some specific requirements that make it necessary for publishers to post and abide by a transparent privacy policy that users see. According to this policy, publishers must notify their users of the use of cookies and/or web beacons to collect data in the ad serving process. This change relates to advertisers’ use of innovative products and features like Gadget Ads and other offerings in the future.

Remember it’s a requirement as stated, which means that you have to firmly adhere to it.

So why do we need to create a privacy policy?
It isn’t only because Google says so; as the saying goes “it’s better be safe than be sorry”. It also adds assurance and information to your visitors on how do you use their information. A great information about privacy policy can be found at Pinoy Money Talk.
