I had a poll running for quite some time now.
The question was:
Do you believe you can make money with online surveys?
and here are the answers:
1. I don't know (12)
2. Yes (10)
3. No (9)
4. They are all scams (4)
My opinion on this is that today you can't really make money by paid surveys, this is beacose most companies offer other materials and/or products instead of money. Also with 50% of the paid survey affiliates being scams there is little room to make money. So instead of wasting your times with paid survey sites you should probably c0ncentrate more on CPM, CPC or similar advertisement!

easily share your sitemaps with all search engines at once
Hi there. I saw this news couple of days ago and i realise that many heavent heard or read about this so i'll post it:
Autodiscovery gives siteowners the ability to easily share their sitemaps with all search engines at once, without the overhead of manually submitting them to each one. In order to share your sitemap with the crawlers at large, you simply provide the following line in your robots.txt file:
Sitemap:
Whereis the complete URL of your Sitemap Index File (or your sitemap file, if you don't have an index file). This directive is independent of the user-agent. so as long as it is present in the robots.txt file, all engines will be able to find your sitemaps.
This removes the need to individually submit sitemaps to each engine - simply add one line to your robots.txt file, and they will find your new and updated sitemaps automatically.

Drive Traffic to your website
1. Optimize Your Website
It is a matter of SEO. Maybe you have never heard of it. Even though you heard about it already, not everyone is familiar with it. In fact, Search engines will look at both the internal and external profile of your website while assigning a rank to a web page. Internal profile of a website (which is so-called On-Page Optimization) includes usage of meta tags, heading tags, keywords, targeted content, and internal linking of website. External profile of your website defines the websites that are linking to your website. It also defines the pages where your link is placed. Besides, it identifies the Page Ranking of those pages along with the placement of your link. And it also includes the number of inward links you are getting. Using the relevant keywords in anchor text gives a boost to rankings on the search engine result pages (SERPs). For more information on On-page optimization, please refer to our relevant posts in Da Gsense Code.
2. Linking Your website
After talking about the on-page optimization, here comes to off-page optimization. More often, webmasters only focus on on-page optimization, and neglect the presence of off-page optimization. In the world of internet, there are two kinds of links - External Links and Internal Links. External Links define the websites that are linking to your websiteInternal whereas Links refer to the internal linking of web pages. Getting links from other websites is the most powerful tool to drive traffic to your website. The results are instantaneous and highly effective. Getting links from quality websites with higher PR and proper anchor text definitely helps your site a lot and results in more fruitful traffic from search engines. Half the battle is won if you are able to provide the links in abundance. There are many tools available for automatically building links to your website. There are some link exchange directories on the net which are a good support in link building campaigns. However, the use of these support systems depend entirely on your beliefs and strategies. Proper inter-linking (that is intra-linking) of your web pages is also relevant and significant in driving traffic.
3. Post Articles
It is important that you publish and post more and more articles on the net or article websites. This gives you an advantage as it gets incoming links to your website. Posting unique articles catering to the interest of a large number of readers is also an effective way of driving organic traffic to your website.

It is a matter of SEO. Maybe you have never heard of it. Even though you heard about it already, not everyone is familiar with it. In fact, Search engines will look at both the internal and external profile of your website while assigning a rank to a web page. Internal profile of a website (which is so-called On-Page Optimization) includes usage of meta tags, heading tags, keywords, targeted content, and internal linking of website. External profile of your website defines the websites that are linking to your website. It also defines the pages where your link is placed. Besides, it identifies the Page Ranking of those pages along with the placement of your link. And it also includes the number of inward links you are getting. Using the relevant keywords in anchor text gives a boost to rankings on the search engine result pages (SERPs). For more information on On-page optimization, please refer to our relevant posts in Da Gsense Code.
2. Linking Your website
After talking about the on-page optimization, here comes to off-page optimization. More often, webmasters only focus on on-page optimization, and neglect the presence of off-page optimization. In the world of internet, there are two kinds of links - External Links and Internal Links. External Links define the websites that are linking to your websiteInternal whereas Links refer to the internal linking of web pages. Getting links from other websites is the most powerful tool to drive traffic to your website. The results are instantaneous and highly effective. Getting links from quality websites with higher PR and proper anchor text definitely helps your site a lot and results in more fruitful traffic from search engines. Half the battle is won if you are able to provide the links in abundance. There are many tools available for automatically building links to your website. There are some link exchange directories on the net which are a good support in link building campaigns. However, the use of these support systems depend entirely on your beliefs and strategies. Proper inter-linking (that is intra-linking) of your web pages is also relevant and significant in driving traffic.
3. Post Articles

Posting unique articles catering to the interest of a large number of readers is also an effective way of driving organic traffic to your website.

Paid backlinks will no longer work with google
It seems that paid links will no longer useful for Google SEO in the future as Google is going to change their ranking algorithm to make sure that paid backlinks will have not effect to Google ranking. Google now tries to figure out how to separate paid links from natural links and they also allow anyone to report paid links to help them distinguish paid links and natural links.Furthermore, Google will take action against on websites that contains a lot of paid links.
And for websites and bloggers that sell text links, here's what Matt Cutts, Head of Google's webspam team advices:http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/hidden-links" If you want to sell a link, you should at least provide machine-readable disclosure for paid links by making your link in a way that doesn’t affect search engines. There’s a ton of ways to do that. For example, you could make a paid link go through a redirect where the redirect url is robot’ed out using robots.txt. You could also use the rel=nofollow attribute.
Google will make SEO harder. If you frequently buy paid links to boost your Google ranking and PR, I think you should stop now to avoid your site or blog penalized by Google.Payments to webmasters and bloggers for a text link appears on their sites and blogs are definitely considered as paid links. For paid directory listings, there are still no clear specifications whether they are seen as paid links. For blog sponsor posts from reviewme.com and Payperpost.com, they are likely to be treated as paid links as well since one of the goals of Google is to stop people from using unnatural backlinks that can artificially boost up their websites ranking. The devaluation of paid links by Google will sure affect the ways webmasters make money online in the future.

IBM Easy Website Builder
The IBM Easy Website Builder is test project whose creators request that businessmen download, test, and vote on it, adding their own suggestions and recommendations and requesting that IBM complete this project (all this can be done at the "Reviews" tab on this site).
IBM Easy Website Builder is an integrated tool that allows businessmen, as well as any users with no technical skills, to develop their Web presence with no need for or dependency upon a technical person. Site creation is done using business and content terminology delivered through a visual interface, without the user's having to write code or get into low-level technical terms. Using its smart components, users can show through the Web what their company does and what they have to offer to their customers. They can easily present stored information about their business and gather information from site visitors.
How does it work?When the user opens the tool, he is greeted by a wizard that allows him to create a Web site from scratch using predefined site layouts or from a predefined sample site. In this wizard, the user selects generic site attributes such as color scheme, logo, and navigation bar links. After this short wizard is finished, a complete Web site that the user can further edit is created.
The user can now use a simple Web page editor to place various texts, images, links, and tables, as well as smart components that interact with business information stored in a database (in the future, other data sources will also be usable). When the user defines the data for these components, the tool creates, "under the covers," database tables with the matching schemata. The content of the tables may later be modified using a wizard. The tool also writes the necessary scripts for creating the matching tables on a production database and even the scripts for filling in the values that the user entered into his local database (to be executed by the deployer of the site).
A site preview is updated dynamically to let the user browse the site in progress. The user can also test his site on the Tomcat Web server included with the tool. When the site is ready for publishing, the user can click on a button to create a file and publish it to his own server or send it to the IT representative for deployment to his server.
The IBM Easy Website Builder, which was built using Eclipse technology, is bundled with a complimentary open-source database (Apache Derby) and Web application server (Apache Tomcat); these inclusions reduce the total cost of ownership. The tool may also be configured to work with other databases such as IBM DB2 and other Web application servers such as IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS).

Individual Keyword Phrase Analysis
Here is a good article about individual keyword anaysis by Fernando Chavez
It is common for Web sites to rank very well for certain keywords but not very well for others. This makes sense since the competitive landscape changes from one keyword phrase to the next. There may be 300,000 search results for keyword A and 1,000,000 search results for keyword B. Presumably, it would be harder to outrank a million results than three hundred thousand, but this is not always the case. There may be a greater number of optimized pages in the smaller results set, making it more competitive than the largër set.
While it is nice to know why a certain keyword phrase is more competitive than another phrase, it does not really help us formulate an SEO strategy to rank well for that keyword.
In order to come up with a successful SEO game plan it is necessary to gather a significant amount of data about the top ranking sites for whatever keyword phrase you are trying to optimize.
Gathering the Data
As we all have heard, there are two main factors that contribute to rankings: content and links. Generally speaking, the more optimized content you have on your site targeting a specific keyword, the more likely it is that you will be viewed as relevant by the search engines for that keyword. Similarly, the more inbound links you have going into your site, the more likely it is that your site will rank well. Search engines consider an inbound link to be a "vote" for your site. The more votes your site has, the more relevant it must be.
So how do we gather the data to compare your site to the top ranking sites for your desired keyword? The search engines are surprisingly helpful in this regard. Google and Yahoo! together give you nearly all of the information that you need in order to do an effective competitive evaluation.
Let us assume you want to rank for [sample keyword phrase]. The first thing we would do is search for that phrase in Google and look at the top 10 results. Once you have that líst of sites, we recommend that you gather the following information for each site:
1. # of pages on the site that use all the words from the phrase.2. # of pages on the site that use the exact keyword phrase.3. # of pages on the site that use all the words from the phrase in the page Title.4. # of pages on the site that use the exact keyword phrase in the page Title.5. # of inbound links to the site's home page, not including internal links.6. # of inbound links to the most relevant landing page on your site for the keyword phrase (assuming it is not the home page). You should make note of how many internal and external inbound links there are to the landing page.
Items 1-4 can be obtained if you have software that can crawl a Web site and compile statistics on word usage throughout the site. For SEO purposes, it is much more useful to query Google to gather the data above. After all, does it really matter if you have ten pages of content about a particular keyword phrase if none of them have been indexed?
Here are the queries you would use to get the data for items 1-4 in Google:
1. site:www.domain.com sample keyword phrase 2. site:www.domain.com "sample keyword phrase" 3. site:www.domain.com intitle:sample intitle:keyword intitle:phrase 4. site:www.domain.com intitle:"sample keyword phrase"
The inbound link data (items 5-6) can easily be obtained from Yahoo! Site Explorer. You can also gather the link data for your own site in the Google Webmaster tools. If you are not familiar with Yahoo! Site Explorer, you can simply copy and paste the URL below into your Web browser, replacing the domain name that we have highlighted with the name of the site you are researching:
http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/advsearch?p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.domain.com&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=u
Copying and pasting the URL above will give you the number of inbound links to your home page (minus internal links) according to Yahoo! Site Explorer. In other words, the results of this query will give you item 5 from above. From this page you can get item 6 by pasting the URL of your most relevant landing page into the Yahoo! Site Explorer search box. Make note of the initial number of results. It tells you how many inbound links you have to that specific page from external sites. Now change the option selected in the Show Inlinks pull down menu from "Except from this domain" to "From All Pages". You now have the total number of inbound links to that page.
Once you have all of the data gathered for every site we recommend putting all of the numbers together in a spreadsheet. You can organize it in whatever way is easiest for you to understand, but you want to be able to easily compare all of the sites to each other.
Data Analysis - Where Should You Focus Your Efforts?
So now that you have all of this data, what do you do with it? The answer is - it depends. If your site appears to have a better than average amount of link popularity but fewer optimized pages than your competition, then you will probably want to spend some time creating new pages. On the other hand, you may want to focus all of your initial efforts on link building if you have far fewer links than your top performing competitors. You can have all the relevant content in the world, but without any inbound links your site has very little chance of ranking well.
Not every competitive analysis is going to be as simple as the two examples given above. Sometimes you do have enough link popularity and plenty of content. What is the problem then? Well, the reason we feel that items 3 and 4 are important is that using a keyword phrase in a page Title usually reflects that the phrase you are researching is the main theme (or one of the main themes) of the page. There are obviously many other factors in optimizing a Web page. However, using the intitle: command is one of the only ways you can query the search engines to find pages that are somewhat optimized without having to view every page on your site.
Your content optimization should begin with the pages that are already somewhat optimized. In this case, we are talking about the pages that use the keyword phrase in their Title tags. Make sure that all of these pages are as optimized as they can be without overusing or "stuffing" keywords. We recommend using the Single Page Keyword Density Analyzer in the SEOToolset (you can try a frëe version of the Single Page KDA here) to evaluate each page.
Once you have gone through the pages that already use the keyword phrase in their Title tags, you should then focus on the pages that use the phrase in the page body but not the Title tag. You can find these pages with the following command in Google:
site:www.domain.com "sample keyword phrase" –intitle:"sample keyword phrase"
One good thing about Google is that they almost always rank results in order of relevance. That appears to be the case with the above command based on what we have seen. For that reason you should start with result 1 and go down from there. You might as well start with the pages that are closest to being optimized for your keyword already. Optimize these pages using the Single Page KDA exactly as you did with the others.
After you have optimized your pages it may also be necessary to create a silo for this keyword phrase and all other similarly themed keywords. Please read this article from the September 2006 edition of the SEO Newsletter if you are not familiar with the concept of siloing. If your most relevant landing page was not ranking well due to a lack of internal links, then creating a siloing structure should help. Be sure to add the index page of any newly created silo into main navigational elements so that it has plenty of inbound links.
Let us suppose that you have created a well-optimized silo to target your keyword and your site is still not ranking well. Assuming that your site is not being filtered and/or penalized in some way and that all of your pages have been indexed, then you will have to either create more content or develop more inbound links to get over the hump. When it comes to developing links you will want to focus on getting links to both your home page and to the most relevant landing page for the keyword you are optimizing.
The analysis that we have discussed in this article is for one keyword phrase. It is a good exercise, but you will likely be optimizing a much largër set of keywords on your site. The SEO process becomes more and more complicated as your site grows and you try to optimize more keywords. However, the same fundamental principles still apply. Good rankings will come if you have a well-organized (i.e. siloed) site with a significant amount of optimized content and inbound links. You will not have the time to go through this evaluation for every possible keyword you want to optimize, but it is valuable to go through the process for high priority keywords. Otherwise, you will have no idea where you should focus your SEO efforts.
It is common for Web sites to rank very well for certain keywords but not very well for others. This makes sense since the competitive landscape changes from one keyword phrase to the next.

Good rankings will come if you have a well-organized (i.e. siloed) site with a significant amount of optimized content and inbound links. You will not have the time to go through this evaluation for every possible keyword you want to optimize, but it is valuable to go through the process for high priority keywords. Otherwise, you will have no idea where you should focus your SEO efforts.

Tips for Getting Backlinks to Your Website
1. Fill out a form or email a webmaster, asking for a reciprocal link.We'll assume for the purpose of clarity that we mean exchanging links to post to a traditional directory page.
2. Deep linking.You embed your partner's link into relevant text on a page other than your directory page, and your partner does the same with your link.
3. Links from signatures.This can be a signature you place at the end of every email you send out, or in forum posts.
4. Comments left on other websites.This can be a blog or a comment form on any website. These will usually have your website url attached to the comment.
5. Submit your website to niche or general website directories.These can be paid or free; I choose depending on what I need to do to get a link without having to put a link on my website. I prefer free, but it's a personal choice.
6. Write and syndicate articles and include your url link in the resource box.Write exclusive articles for high-traffic sites that rank highly in search engine results.
Thinking Outside the Box
7. Mix up the above 5 ways.For example, if you'd like a link from a site with a higher page rank than your own, ask for a link on their directory page in exchange for a link on your homepage as well as in your directory. Save this idea for one or two HIGHLY relevant but non-competitive sites, and only if their search engine results are on, say, page 1 of Google.
8. Write testimonials and reviews.Communicate personally with webmasters. Write up a short review of their website or product rather than sending them a generic request for a link trade. Don't wait for them to ask for a testimonial, send them one anyways. For example, instead of saying "I visited your site and like it a lot, I agree with what you say about (blah blah) and thought we'd make great link partners, would you like to..." try summing up what it is about your business that relates to the other website. Promote your business in a way that's in XYZ's best interests to print as a testimonial- how their product benefits your business.
As a webmaster, I'd love to receive an email like that. I'd write right back and ask if I could use it on my website.
9. Write reviews where they're asked for.Search around. Don't look too far ;-) The big names are the places you want to go. Take Amazon.com for example. People click over to Amazon with their credit cards ready. They are discerning shoppers and they are often repeat customers; they read reviews, they follow links to "what else purchasers of [a particular product] bought". So write reviews of products that relate to your website topic. Book reviews are the easiest; follow your nose to the bestsellers or new books in your category at the library.
10. Communicate with whoever you represent as an affiliate.Create a product such as a user manual or report ("10 Tips for Succeeding as an XYZ Affiliate" or "How to Increase Your Productivity Using [XYZ's Product] in your Home Office")and imbed your url link(s) in it. Let the affiliate program manager distribute your report or manual to his affiliates. Or again, write a glowing testimonial to the program, product or owner's customer service, etc.

The influence of semantic indexing on your search engine rankings
Semantic indexing is getting more and more important to search engines. What exactly is semantic indexing and how does it influence your search engine rankings?
What is semantic indexing?
Semantic indexing means that search engines try to associate certain terms with concepts when indexing web pages. For example, Paris and Hilton are associated with a woman instead of a city and a hotel, Tiger and Woods are associated with golf.
How can search engines find the relation between words?
For example, Google has billions of web pages in its index. If Google finds that many web pages contain both the word Paris and the word Hilton then Google might assume that these keywords are related. The other words on these pages could give Google a hint that this special word combination is about a woman.
Words that frequently appear very close to each other could get a tighter connection. Google has a lot of algorithms that allow them to calculate the relation between different words.
How does this influence your search engine optimization activities?
If you want to succeed on Google then it is important that you show Google that your website is relevant to your topic. Here are some things that you can do to show search engines that your site is relevant:
Use a meaningful site architecture. Use a logical system to organize your website content. Create content sections that deal with different parts of your main topic and make sure that everything that is related to your topic is mentioned on your web pages.Make sure that your web pages are put in the right categories on your website and that it's easy to find the different categories.
Use web pages that use different relevant search termsIf you're targeting the search term "used cars" you should also create pages that are relevant to "auto", "suv", etc.
Get links from pages that are semantically relevant to yours If you're selling cars then the "Cars" web page that links to your site should not be about the movie. Links from topically related pages will be semantically beneficial to your site.
Find out why other pages rank higher than yoursIf you ever asked yourself why another page has been ranked higher than yours although you perfectly optimized your pages for your search terms then you should analyze the inbound links of the top ranked pages.The number and the authority of inbound links are important. However, it's also important that the links come from semantically and topically related pages.
Don't focus on a single keyword when optimizing your pages. If you want to prepare your website for advanced search engine algorithms then you have to create a website that has been optimized for many different but related search terms. In addition, it's important that the links to your website come from topically related pages so that search engines put your website in the right context.

Make money with low traffic website
Having low traffic site?
Even less unique visits?
less than 100 pageviews per day?
You followed my every article, guide, tip, trick and update but you still can't get enough traffic and can't monetize on it?
1. You are either joking
2. Even that can happen(under really bad circumstances)
If you consider yourself in the 2nd group this is your lats resource:
1. Pay your local internet provider to make you a website and optimize it or...
2. Use every bit of last resource
If you choose 2nd option again this is the only thing you can do:
- Exchange links with any website that wants to. This is going to help you at least little bit so you can get mauby some referals and minor better search engine rankings.
- Use auto surf. Some think this is a bad way of generating traffic and making money some not. But if you are desprate for traffic then this is the way.
I won't link such websites here but you can search for them in google under the following keywords: auto-surf, auto surf, auto surfing and similar...
- Use your own or your friends Hi5, myspace or similar profiles and put a direct text and banner referral to your site.
You can even name the referral "myspace resources" or "myspace graphics" or "improve your Hi5 profile" and similar.
If all this is not working then you should seriosly sell your domain and start all over again with a different idea and domain.
And next time before you even starting building your own site make sure you read guides and tips on how to build, improve, maintain, publish and monetize your site.
