Webtalks

The sole purpose why I am writing this blog post is because I have received many complaints from fellow bloggers that they do not earn as expected from adsense. Everyday hundreds of bloggers start off their money making expedition with a hope that after few months or years they may be earning high by participating in programs such as Google Adsense.After few days or weeks most of them leave blogging because they do not earn even a buck. Some may be cheating by clicking on their own ads or asking others to do that or just participating in programs that gives automated clicks. Such bloggers are either “banned” immediately or when they are about to receive their earnings. When they are banned, they leave blogging. Then, a few honest publishers are left who are literary embarrassed by their earnings even after getting traffic or page rank. Most of them also leave blogging until they are fed-up. Then a few remain who just wait for the day when they would be the next Darren Rowse. But that’…

The long wait is now over.As I hinted in my previous articles, Google Pagerank in Google Toolbar is going to be updated in April and whoila, its updated as expected.

Here are some sites that changed their page ranks in my notice

Webtalks has now jumped from zero to 3
Digital Dreams jumped from 1 to 3
Rediff.com jumped from 7 to 9
Statcounter.com slipped from 10 to 9
Gmail.com slipped from 10 to 9

I did some experimenting with my pagerank. let us see the results

I created a temporary page in Google Pages for Blog Reviews. I forgot to put the rel="nofollow" attribute on its link.As a result the page has a page rank of 2 just because I added it into my sidebar

Now the chain of pagerank goes on..

The Review my blog page was linking to two pages,Webtalks{this one only} and another temporary page on googlepages. The second temporary page too got a pagerank of 2. So this gives us hints about Google Technology.

Another interesting fact was that the Google counted sites which were linking to me…

Google Directory (which uses listings of Dmoz the largest Human Edited web directory on the internet). Open Directory Project is basically from the Netscape. Google Directory uses Dmoz’s listings and then refines through its own technology. You would be in benefit if you have your site listed in Google Directory not because of Page Rank or Traffic jump but your site would also have a higher status in the web. Infact everyday thousands of bloggers submit their site. Getting into dmoz is not easy but also not impossible.

What I have learnt from my 10 day experience is that Due to large volume of applications everyday, dmoz editors review your site in a hurry. They might not be visiting your site in that depth. Here are few tips that will definitely increase your chances of getting into dmoz.

As said in dmoz guidelines, submit to the deepest sub category you know where your site suits. For eg, My site should be listed at Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Weblogs/FAQs,_Help_and_Tutorials/

Technorati, an online directory of blogs, a website that has an collection of all posts, blogs ,tags currenlt present in the blogosphere. It would really be an embarrassing situation when a webmaster finds his blog his blog ranked above 3,000,000. Technorati basically indexes all blogs and their posts whenever they are published on any blogging platform. If you are the owner of a blog, you can claim it by three methods. Claiming gives you advantages of Technorati profiles, Technorati Widgets and Tagging your Website. But recently, Technorati had been followed by a bug which resulted in Technorati missing some blog posts and even complete blogs {including mine} after giving rapid pings too. Most of these problems were faced by webmasters who use blogger. Since I was also the one affected, my stats used to say something like that ::

Title:: Webtalks::You are Welcomed

This topic maybe the third most flooding object in my inbox.There are many big names in this category like urchin(Now Google Analytics), Sitemeter, Statcounter. etc. So lets start reviewing them one by one

Google Analytics
A very powerful tracker.Gives you all soughts reports. I recommend this for professional webmasters as Google Analytics gives you all soughts of reports from Marketing tools to Site Overlays.Their is no such limit on your usage

Where it wins it?
Free, Fantastic Graphics and Google Powered.
Where it loses?
um..... very complicated for a begineer

Statcounter
A very simple, instant and easy to use tracker. It has also got some options that suits the logs of an big organisation's website .
Where it wins?
umm.. its basically less complicated than Google Analytics.
Where it loses?
Limited free Log size

Last of all I would like to mention my favourite tracker. Any guess? No not Sitemeter its MyBlogLog.

Reasons::

Gives you three stats, where readers came from - what readers viewe…

Do you own a domain? So why to blog somewhere else ? Custom domains enable you to post on a domain via blogging service providers like Blogger , Wordpress etc. I am also plannng to do the same but there are disadvantages too.

My Backlinks and Search Engine ratings would be lost if I shift. Although according to Google, they will divert all the backlinks and SERP rating to the custom domain. But why to take the risk ?

Lets learn from the previous experiences of bloggers.

Insideorkut had a page rank of 7 but when they shifted, they dropped down to zero page rank

Instablok had a page rank of 0 but they shifted , there page rank increased to 4

problogger.net was initially started with a custom domain only

Another interesting observation of mine is people usually choose a Wordpress powered blog when they shift.Why?

Here I have drawn some conclusions

* Wordpress enables users to upload files wher as Blogger does not have any such options as yet.

*Don't mind , but according to me, Wordpress has…
