SEO Will Become Obsolete As Social Search Rises

Upon writing this post, I have considered that only a very few people will read this through search engine. Unless I or someone else shares this on Facebook or Twitter, I won't expect any surprising number of hits.

This is how social media is changing the way people on the web dig for information. Unknowingly, they have started to rely on Tweets, Wall posts, and shared shortened links. This doesn't really drastically defect SEO but it is, slowly diminishing its importance.

While SEO constantly evolves as new media emerges, social search is slowly taking the frontline.

Google amongst other search engines is also constantly revising its algorithms pushing more publishers to create more relevant, high quality content. In the future, it will become less important how many relevant keywords you have in the site. What will matter is how many people recommends you.

Getting Serious With Adsense Blogging

As of today, this blog's stats have risen to an amazing 233.3% of daily hits. That's awesome, considering that my previous month's visits were no more than 10 hits per day. And considering as well, that this blog is less than a year old. I have other blogs though that I maintain and within 4 yours of blogging, I have come up with these strategies.

1. Read, comment on other blogs and do them a favor.
2. Link exchange doesn't work, so network with people with same interest.
3. Blog everyday.
4. Increase average time on site, by putting freebies. Podcast, mp3s, free downloads, or video embeds are a great way to let your visitors stay for at least 3 minutes per visit.
5. Decrease your bounce rate by putting widgets such as Related Posts, Most Commented, and stuff.

Today, I am setting a $3.00 target of Adsense income for this site. And I think I'm getting there. What about are your blogging strategies?

Multiple Blogs Means More Adsense Earnings, Myth?

Does it really make sense? Do you really earn more if you have like 10 blogs? I am not sure, but based on experience, if you intend to earn a living out of blogging, you should keep a minimum. Find out why and how.

Less blogs means more time to keep, market, and maintain them. Unless you are working with a team of bloggers, or if you can afford to outsource a writer or an SEO agent, you can have as many. Remember the saying, you can't serve two masters at the same time?

Take it from me, I have like at least 5 blogs. And all of them really eat so much of my time that I ended up focusing on just 3. I got so much to maintain, in fact, the last time I posted on this blog was two months ago.

Click Exchange Can Disable Adsense Account

With blogging social platforms allowing you to connect to similar-minded bloggers, the idea of exchanging ad clicks has become a very common thing to do. Most of the time, the trick works. I actually call it a "trick" since Google Adsense do not support this kind of activity. Why?

I know a lot of friends who asked people to click his ads and in return clicked theirs', who only ended up with a banned or disabled Adsense account. The company has a very intelligent way of knowing whether or not the clicks are fraud.

Is Click Exchange considered fraud?

Not exactly. But when you intentionally click an ad for the purpose of other than really checking what the link is all about, then that is fraud.

Which is why I don't practice click exchange, the safest way to get visitors and readers to hit your links is to place them strategically and visibly, and most importantly, create informative and relevant articles. Have you tried click exchange? Did it work for you?

Follow Blog: How it Helps to Increase Earnings

I have just found out how to effectively use the Follow Blog feature of Blogger. I know for first time users and even for those who have been running blogspot for years already, they can get very excited with the new add-on. The tendency is, people will just follow every blogspot account they stumble upon.

The real and workable trick in using the Follow Blog is to follow at most 20 blogsites. This number is manageable. It's like your Top 20 list of blogs that you visit, read, and comment everyday.

Make sure also that the blogs you follow updates regularly. The rule is 'hits reciprocity'. You wanna make sure that those 20 blogs will hit your blog back. So before you finally decide to follow a blog or not, scroll down and try to see if the blogger posts regularly, daily, almost daily, but not monthly.

Remember to read and open your followed blogs whenever you go online. Commenting is not necessarily frequent, but other visitors, who will read your comment, might click on your profile and eventually hit your posts.

The purpose of following blogs is not just to keep a list of favorites, it's also a way to keep those hits coming everyday.

Find Out If Christmas Dips Your Adsense Earnings

December 25, 2008, my Analytics and my Adsense dashboards agree - my traffic dipped and my earnings dropped. What could be the possible reason? I checked the stats of my other sites and the figures say the same thing?

Is it normal to have low earnings during the Holiday Vacations? There is actually some truth to it. Remember, lesser people log on to the internet, so that means less traffic and less traffic translates to less earnings.

But that depends on the niche or topic of your blog. In my case, I have blogs about radio production and broadcasting, so I expect less CTR and CPM coming since I suppose my target readers may probably be in their vacation.

So what do you do in times like these? Well, just continue to make quality and make-sense articles. You are still serving readers and visitors although they maybe few. Don't stop posting articles on your blogs just because there might be lesser people who are logging on the internet.
