Reason for prediction is the fact that the war between the webmasters and Google Search Engine. Google will continue to improve it’s search engine algorithm and SEO experts will find new ways to exploit the search algorithm. This will go on till Google’s search algorithm will get saturated, they will run out of options. Which I can already smell with there page rank algorithm. Google is now punishing webmasters for passing PR to other websites for a price. This just shows how desperate Google has become. As Google gets more strict with it’s algorithms there will be a time when webmasters will be so pissed that they will start blocking the Google search bot and that will start Google’s free fall!!. This is when all webmasters will unite together and there will be mass removal of pages from Google. With more and more quality pages taken out from Google index other search engine specially Yahoo! will go for the kill and attract webmasters to Yahoo! search.

When this happens Google will never be able to recover as all it is left with is useless spammed pages!! and falling share prices it will be only matter of time that Google Search will go backcrupt. Google will try to sustain the search engine by cutting profits from it’s other products only in vain. Why the year 2011 ? Because Google will be 15 years old.. And the 15th year of Google will spell it’s DOOM!!

I would say you bookmark this page and come back on 2011 and see..

1. GTalk Profile :

Google doesnt have a Member search directory like Yahoo. GTalk Profile lets you find other Google™ Talk users from around the world. You can click a point on the map to search for users at that location. Points on the map can represent countries, states/provinces, or cities/towns. You can also use the search box to even further narrow your search.

2. GTalk Sidebar on Firefox :

Firefox is one browser that has changed the way we browse the web, with lots of coders supporting Firefox no wonder all latest applications gets imported to Firefox one way or another. If you are still using Internet Explorer I highly recommend you to move to Mozilla Firefox.

GTalk sidebar is a small plugin on Firefox that lets you browse as you chat all via the same window. No need to open Gmail on a tab for chat or install GTalk IM application. Pretty handy plugin. To install this plugin you need firefox and you can get the plugin here.

3. GTalk on iGoogle :

iGoogle is a personalised homepage, it lets you manage all your news, mails, feeds, search etc. on the same homepage. Another way to say Google’s interactive search homepage. It is similiar to Yahoo’s Personalized homepage.

Add GTalk to your iGoogle homepage .

4. GTalk on Facebook :

It is now also possible to add GTalk to your facebook profile page using which you can chat with other added Gtalk members with out leaving facebook.

add the facebook application to your profile.

When we started the optimization we found out that we were seriously lacking in these keywords. After following those steps I can see my rankings improving. Currently for the keyword “gimp tutorial” I am ranking 8^th in Google and for the keyword “gimp tutorials” I am ranking 11^th rank. My ultimate goal is to teach in the top 5 for these keywords, but again as I told with search engine lots of patience is required so I am just waiting.

What did I do to come into the first page. Since my niche is gimp tutorials, the best thing to do for me was to contact the gimp.org webmaster and ask him for an link inclusion. It does require some luck here as getting linked by those websites are not easy. But considering the quality and the service to them they gave a link back. This was a big boost to my SEO campaign form ghuj. I have also contacted other webmasters of other similar websites to link back to me. Just waiting for there reply, if they do. I also did a directory submission service for my site ghuj.com, submitted my site to over 1000 directories. It will take some time for Google to index those pages. I am excited for the next Google Page rank update, I am expecting at least a pr 5 or may be a 6, anything above that would be great.

What is important to consider in this post is:

• Ask famous/successful websites in your niche to link back to you.
• Submit your website to directories. It is very important to do it in properly i.e. under right category etc. ( You can contact me for this at info (@) idigitalcore.com)
• Have patience, search engines take time to update itself as it has to update millions and zillions of website, so you are in queue.

What’s next ?

It is time to take next step in to search engine optimization. It is a well known fact that Google loves blogs. So now I am considering maintaining a blog at ghuj.com where I will regularly post latest happening in GIMP. This will help me generate new pages and keep my site active. Once the website start generating some traffic I may consider starting a forum. Untill then happy optimization.

META Tag:

It is time to observe the code. I opened the code and found that GHUJ.COM doesn’t have the meta tag. Meta tags are considered important in SEO because they tell the search engine about the website. In Meta we have two important fields the Meta keyword and the Meta Description.
Meta Description: Describe in brief about your website, keep it under 30 words.
Meta Keywords: Keep around 10 keywords.
Here is the TAG that I chose for GHUJ.COM

<META name=”description” content=”The Gimp tutorials for newbie’s and advanced users. “>
<meta name=’keywords’ content=’the gimp, tutorial, tutorials, gimp tutorials, gimp download, gimp windows, gimp brushes, gimp mac’>

Check out your competitor’s website for this description, do not copy the exact code instead you can modify it to suit your website.
TITLE Tag:

Titles are very important in SEO, Google searches for keywords in titles. So we must carefully write a page title for our webpage. Do not include more than 3 keywords in the title, else Google may consider it as spamming. Make sure you use the title depending upon the content of the page. Do not use the same title for all the pages.
Keep you code clean
If you have Javascripts in your header I recommend moving them into separate files. When Google bot visits your site and starts the process of indexing it may enter an infinite loop because of some JavaScript so after sometimes it times out and doesn’t index the file it may even blackmark the page so it may not waste it’s time again in the same page. So moving your JavaScripts to a external .js file is a good practice. Validate your pages at http://validator.w3.org/
IMG TAG (Image Tag):

In a previous post I have mentioned how to optimize your images for search engines. I recommend you do a quick read before we proceed.

HEADING TAGS:

Make proper use of the <H> tag, Mark your headings with <H1> Tags . Instead of the <b> tag use <strong>. Use the <p> tag to split up the contents into new paragraphs. To say it straight, if you have used a WYSIWYG editor go through the code all over again and make necessary changes.

Write Quality/Unique Contents:

This is the most important step in SEO, quality/unique contents gets natural links and perform better in search engines. The key is to write more and more pages, the more pages you write the more they are indexed and the more is your chances of being found. Never stop writing articles related to your niche as this keeps the site updated and Google likes fresh contents. This is why SEO experts recommend to start a blog for your website.

Let me summarize all the steps :

• Include a proper Meta Tag.
• Rework on your Title Tag.
• Clean up your code/validate your code.
• Rework on your Image Tags.
• Update your site regularly.

Now our website is ready for the search engine. The next step is to promote our website, which I will be covering tomorrow. Until then happy optimizing.

1. gimp tutorial
2. gimp download
3. the gimp
4. gimp windows
5. gimp brushes
6. gimp mac

Now I compared these top 5 keywords to choose one main keyword. Rest of the keyword will be supporting keywords. To compare these keywords I used Google Trends. It gives you the comparisons depending upon search volumes across various countries and sorted by month, year. I chose the region to be across the word and year to be 2007. You see the live comparisons here.
Here is the screenshot.

• Gimp Tutorials – 17th Rank
• Gimp Download – Not in top 50
• The Gimp – Not in top 50
• Gimp Windows – Not in top 50
• Gimp Brushes – Not in top 50
• Gimp Mac – Not in top 50

We can now see we are not performing well in the search engine for our niche. Tomorrow I will do onsite optimization to include these keywords and concentrate to make our page more Search Engine friendly.

1. Google Toolbar

Google Toolbar is a neat tool from Google that helps you search Google with a single click of the button. Firefox already has Google Search built in by default so why we need to download the toolbar seperately, it is because the toolbar lets us check the PageRank, Backward Links etc. You can also access all Google products with a click of a button in the toolbar.

Download

2. Alexa Toolbar

Alexa Toolbar helps us to judge the traffic of a website. Many marketing company judge a websites quality using the Alexa rating. Alexa is a very rude way to judge a websites traffic. Alexa shows the ranking based on the toolbar installed by there users. But the whole webmaster community judges your website by Alexa so this is a must have toolbar.

3. SEO for Firefox

SEO for FF is a very handy extension. As you search in Google it will displays many important information regarding the website. Find out what it offers in the feature list below. Pulls useful market research data right into Google’s and Yahoo!’s search results.

• PR: (Google PageRank) an estimated measure of global link authority.
• Age: age pulled from Archive.org, shows the first time a page was indexed by Archive.org’s spider. The theory is that if Archive.org found a page so did many of the major search engines.
• Links: (Yahoo! linkdomain) shows a rough estimate of the total number of links pointing at a domain
• .edu Link: (Yahoo! .edu linkdomain ) shows a rough estimate of the total number of .edu links pointing at a domain
• .edu Page Link: (Yahoo! .edu link ) shows a rough estimate of the total number of .edu links pointing at a specific page
• .gov Link: (Yahoo! .gov linkdomain ) shows a rough estimate of the total number of .gov links pointing at a domain
• Page Links: (Yahoo! link) shows a rough estimate of the total number of links pointing at a page
• del.icio.us: number of times a URL has been bookmarked on Del.icio.us. Heavily skewed toward techy / Web 2.0 stuff.
• Technorati: an estimate of the total number of links to a site from blogs
• Alexa: rank based on website traffic . Heavily skewed toward internet marketing and webmaster related resources.
• Cached: (Google site:) shows how many pages from a site are indexed in Google
• dmoz: searches the Google Directory to count the total number of pages from a site that are listed in DMOZ, and the total number of pages listed in DMOZ that reference that URL.
• Bloglines: shows you how many people are subscribed to a particular blog via Bloglines.
• dir.yahoo.com: is a site listed in the Yahoo! Directory or not.
• WhoIs: makes it easy to look up the whois data for any site.

4. Web Developer

Web Developer extension adds a menu and a Toolbar to the browser with various web developer tools. Using this extension you can quickly access the sites css, forms, images etc. of any website. Very handly tool for webmasters, a must have.

5. Rank Quest

RankQuest helps you to carry out your daily SEO right from the browser. It has almost all the features a SEO analyst can ask for. It has Page validation, Content Tool, Meta Tool, SEO tool, SEM tools and more. This has to be my personal favorite tool.

I think the above mentioned reason is enough to block them. Now the next question arises , how to distinguish such advertisers from other high profitable advertisers.

Search and Destroy

It is now time to search the Adsense ads on your website, Don’t click on the ad to find out the url of your advertisers. Instead if you look closely at the ads you will find that the url will be mentioned below the ad text. Now type this url directly on the address bar of your web browser. This way you will not be violating the Google Adsense Term of Service (TOS).

Now once you are on the website look out for these conditions :

• Are they using Adsense or promoting any other advertisers ?
• What product they sell ?
• How much they are selling their product for ?
• Do they have a professional design ?
• Do they have a support, contact page ?

Let us now search for these points in the advertisers who were advertising on my website. The url is www dot kapeeshwara dot com ( I don’t want to promote him by giving him a link back here ). Now you can see on this website that they are filled up with ads everywhere. So this website fails our test. Now start up a text editor and paste this url and develop a list by doing this test with other advertisers. When you are done developing the list it is time to block all these advertisers.

Here are some advertisers that I found on my website

• agilemarketer dot com
• ncomesbizhub dot com
• nternetincomeexposed dot com
• ifestylechanger dot ws
• oneypayday.altervista dot org

To block these advertisers login to your Google Adsense account , browse to My Account > Competitive Ad Filter . In the text box below copy paste your list and select save changes. Once that is done your account will be updated in 24 hours. Now you are free from these low paying advertisers and better paying ads will start appearing on your website.

Conclusion:

Even though we have removed low paying ads from our website, but we have to constantly monitor our ads to find out such advertisers. There is no need to do this every day, you can do it once a week or once a month for that matter.

Happy Adsense Earning

Wikipedia defines it as:

Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users. Ultimately Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many purposes.

The concept of “Web 2.0″ began with a conference session between O’Reilly and MediaLive International. To a general user, web 2.0 is a highly interactive, very attractive, user friendly web application. In the initial period of Web 2.0 it was defined with the help of following example.

In todays date web 2.0 means much more than that. Web 2.0 has changed the way websites are designed, most of the web 2.0 websites are completely built on css and they host some really crispy, shiny vector images.

Recently SEOmoz arranged a review all the web 2.0 websites and chose the best among them. Here are the websites were best in there category.

Blog Guides

Bookmarking

Books

Business

Communication

You can visit SEOmoz’s Web 2.0 Awards for the complete list. One thing to notice here is Google leads with maximum gold, followed by Yahoo! . Couldn’t find Microsoft anywhere lol. The list of web 2.0 websites are only increasing daily. One of my fellow blogger blogs regarding the latest web 2.0 happening.

With the launch of Tyroo, it has come as a relief to 1000′s of webmasters banned from Google Adsense. I went ahead and signed up for Tyroo to test it. Currently I have replaced Google Adsense with Tyroo temporarily to check how it works out. The minimum payment amount is Rs.2500 , and the payout period is 1 month. Currently there are not enough advertisers in Tyroo, but that will change once it starts picking up.

They are already accepting publishers, just go ahead and register. I signed up for Tyroo ads on saturday and today my account was activated.
