Things you should take care of : 

1. Quality Content : This depends on your niche, meaning , what your blog offers or what your blog is about . It is always good to have a certain style and topic on which you blog. In my case, this is a tech blog. But the problem here for me is that  Technology is a very broad topic. I post a wide variety of things on different topics few might say it is just random. Yes and I agree to it . Having a niche like posting only about apps , phones, travel , food actually helps you gain more readership. Automatically, you will have recurring users to your website or blog. This can help you to earn some money from Affiliate programming (More on this later some day. Subscribe if you don't wish to miss this out) 


2. Keywords : One of the most important things about getting a position in the top search results on Google is to use the right keywords. Selecting the right words in your posts makes it more easy show the corrects ads on your blog. This is very important in case of ranking and simultaneously indexing. So the next time when a user performs a google search about your niche it increases you chances to improve the your rankings in the search results.

3. Backlinks : Backlinks are the links that link back to your website/blog. To have great and quality backlinks from good websites improves your Page Rank. The Page Rank has a scale of 0 to 10. Higher PageRank -> Better position in search -> More Traffic to your blog -> Higher Bid from advertisers for your ads -> More Money ! Sound's Simple? 


4. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) :  If you take care of the above 3 points then you have already taken care of most of the things important for search engine optimization.

I hope your journey from the first post till this one has helped you to get a more clear insight on how you can optimize your earning from Google Adsense with this simple tips and tricks.

How to place Adsense Ads on your page - Earn more with Google Adsense [Part 2]

In the previous post above we discussed about the various types of google Adsense ads you can use on your website / blog. 

If you are directly starting with this post you might want to read the previous posts here :

   Earn more with Google Adsense[Part 1]

Okay so now once you have read the above post I guess we are now ready to discuss about the ads placement on your web page. 

---

There's a restriction on the number of ads you can place on a single web page. Obviously these restrictions are put by Google in order to ensure quality of the webpage and to avoid unnecessary spamming.

How many ads can you use?

1. 3 Display/Text Ad units : If you look at this blog you can see I use in all 3 banner ads One above the title of the post , one in the sidebar and one inside the post!   The most important thing to improve you earning is to place at least 1 Ad somewhere in between your posts. What happens here is while your users are reading the posts they will actually look at the ad as it is between the text they are reading. Naturally, it is more likely if the ad is relevant it might get clicked.



2. 3 Link units : Most bloggers don't know that in addition to the above three ads you can use other 3 link units on the same page. It adds greatly to your earnings if the keywords that show up are relevant. 



3. Custom Search Engine Ads : This is ads do add up to your earnings but I am a bit skeptical about it as users generally don't use the search on relatively small blogs. This is mainly important for people who have a large active readership o their blog/website. 

---

Thus, in addition to the custom search engine ads you can add a total of 6 Google Adsense ads on a single webpage or each page of your website. Sound's cool ?

Google Adsense 101 - Earn more with Google Adsense [Part 1]

Its been quite a long time since I started using Google Adsense on my Blog. I would like to share with you my experiene and how you can use Google Adsense Ads more efficiently. In this "Google Adsense 101" series you will find the useful tips and tricks using which you can optimize your Google Adsense earnings.

I will cover almost all the things you need to take care to increase your CPC ( Cost Per Click) for Ads.
I will break this into multiple posts and will try to post new articles every alternate day. ( Can't promise :P )

---

Lets get started... The first thing you will need to do is decide what type of ads to use?

There are three types of ads :

• Display / Text Ads
• Link Units
• Ads using Custom Search

---

Lets Cover each one of them : 

1.  Display / Text Ads : Display ads are nothing but Image ads or Banners which is most probably the most common an all the sites. May be you must be seeing one right now in this post too or in the right sidebar of this blog and above this posts heading. You should select Display / Text while creating the ad unit as it gives more fill rate. So whenever one type of ad is not available the other type of ad maybe Text takes its place. Doing this makes sure that your ad unit will show some or the other ad no matter what. Hence you do not miss out on even a single click on your ads.

-->


2.  Link Units : Link Units are ones which show only a set of 4-5 keywords which are basically ad link and when clicked you earn from them just like the below one. Don't go by their size ,even though these tiny units are not so visible but they sometimes generate more revenue sometimes then the image ads. ( I am not lying! Try it out)




3.  Custom Search Ads : Monetize search results in your site, mobile site or mobile application just like Google. This for pro-bloggers. We will get back to this in the later posts of this series.

In the next Part of this series [ Part 2 ] we will discuss about the ad placements and I will show you some of the best ways to place your Ads such that they will get clicked !

How to Monetize a New Blog or Website?

May be you are planning on starting a new blog or it may be a few days or months old and now you are thinking of earning from it . 

So, How do you monetize it ?

If you  are looking for quick earning methods from the blog , you should trying the following two options :

1) Affiliate Links

Although affiliate marketing sometimes gets a bad rap, it’s a straightforward way to make money, and it creates a win-win situation for you, your reader, and the product creator.

Many digital products (like ebooks, software and membership sites) offer an affiliate program, where you can sign up to earn commission on any sales you generate.
Generally you get a cut ranging from 10% - 50% . 

-->
2) Gigs and Other Services

Well , this is something new . Hopefully ,you have a few skills related to your niche. For instance , you are an established blogger  and simply know the procedure on setting things up like installing and tweaking themes , plugins and so on.  You could offer blog setup to people who aren’t so techy minded.


Don’t underestimate yourself here. Skills that may seem second-nature to you could be very valuable to someone else

Tip: Offer your services for free to a few selected people, and get them to give you feedback so you can improve. Ask them for a testimonial that you can include on your website: this will be a big help in persuading potential customers that you’re reputable.

I haven't mentioned one of the most popular options out there – running adverts on your site. Many new bloggers want to monetize using ads – but it’s rarely a good way to make money.

(In My case , it took me nearly 10 months to get my first 100$ from Google AdSense)

How to Increase your website traffic with Google Webmaster tools : SEO tips - TechBum™

Most of the newbie bloggers always complain about low traffic on their blog and keeping searching for tips and tricks via Google and end up paying for some artificial website traffic generator service. 

This is where SEO ( Search Engine Optimization) plays an important role. There is a lot of stuff on the internet about SEO and the tips and tricks but very few talk about the Google Webmaster Tools ! 

Few complain of low traffic even though they have some really good content on their website . Well , the problem is this 'really good content' has to reach out to the people who are Googling some related content . 

So if you expect that people type something in Google and your website should be visible on the first page of the Google search results , thinking as if your website might appear in the search results like magic ! then your are a fool...

Google is a Search Engine , so what it does is the web crawlers or spiders crawl through various websites picking up keywords and indexing the stuff accordingly and based on its PageRank algorithm it gives the search results . 

Hence, without submitting the Sitemap of your website to Google , you simply cannot expect your website name in the Google search results , no matter how awesome is the quality of your content .

For the people using blogger , can generate a sitemap via this link ; 

http://ctrlq.org/blogger/

-->

copy the sitemap you have generated and submit the sitemap on Google webmaster tools ;

www.google.com/webmaster/tools

Steps :

1) sign in with you google account on the webmaster tools page.

2) click 'ADD a Site'

3)Cick on the site name once it is added and then click 'Add/Test Sitemap'  and paste the link there .

4) it may take a day or two for your site to get indexed b Google 

5) once you site is indexed you will be able to see all the information like how many times your site has been crawled . 

6) Also it shoes , where your website appeared in the search results (first page , second page , etc. )

7) Thus , Webmaster tools play a significant role in knowing how your website is performing and helps you optimize your content to get organic traffic on your website !

I hope this helps you , though this may not seem to be a very quick method but this is the most efficient and legal way to get Organic traffic to you blog or website . 

According to my experience , after submitting my sitemap to Google i have had a 100% increase in the traffic on my blog. 

Feel free to comment . Cheers :)

How to get Google Adsense Approval . Monetize your Blog instantly - TechBum™

Just like a newbie blogger about a year ago when I started blogging , I was very keen on activating Google Adsense for my blog .  I went through various online forums each of them explaining the same old stuff about blogging techniques , building up traffic , SEO etc.

This things were just really very boring to me . But then I had no choice but to come up with some quality content and get some traffic and finally one fine day my blog got approved and I now I am able to put Adsense ads on my blog. So if you are reading this you will find an ad somewhere in this post :P and a few in the sidebar too :) 

Ok , so from my experience i would suggest you like others to follow stuff like Making Quality 

Content , SEO , Building Traffic ... (Probably you wont be interested in this i know )

But here is one trick which will definitely help you add Adsense ads on your blog directly after making an Google Adsense Application procedure .  it is 100% working technique !

Just follow this Simple steps : 

(Make sure you have a blog setup already)

1) Make a YouTube channel .

2) Upload just 1 or 2 videos initially (just about anything !)

-->

        So the trick here is that YouTube has started offering Partnership to  anyone who has a YouTube       

        channel . (Now anyone can Monetize their YouTube videos . )

How this helps ?

-->To monetize your videos you will be asked to make/associate a Google Adsense Account. 

And all you need to put ads on your blog is an approved / activated Adsense account .

3)So go ahead and create an Adsense account(with same or different ID) and hence you finally have an Approved Google Adsense Account . 

So, what you now have is a monetized YouTube channel and an Approved Google Adsense Account !

4) Wait for a Day or Two and then from your Adsense account you can generate AD Code , which you can add on your BLOG !

(Ads will show up immediately once you add the code . The earnings might take a day or two to show up in your adsense account :)) 

Congratulations ! You now have now Monetized you Blog and you have ads up and running on your blog . I guess after getting your Blog monetized maybe you should start to think about making Quality Content on your blog, if you haven't already  . :P  (Good Content is really very important)

If you have any sort of problem or some part which you have understood please feel free to post in te comments ! I will shortly be uploading a video on this topic . So Hang On ! Subcribe to my YouTube channel . 

Cheers :)

Windows Phone 7.8 Update to roll out from February 2013 for the existing WP 7.5 Devices

--> I guess every windows phone 7.5 user must have waited quite long for the windows phone 7.8 update and must have come across various blogs saying the 7.8 update should arrive in early 2013.. 

So I went through various blogs and read various articles and now finally I could conclude that there is a strong a possibility that the WP 7.8 update should roll out from around February 2013. I am eagerly waiting for it  as I own a Windows Phone , Samsung Omnia W (first windows phone from Samsung in India) , currently running Windows Phone 7.5 OS , Tango , as they say !

Samsung Omnia W ( I must say my phone has Excellent hardware at the price , once again Samsung Well Done !)( I preferred it over Lumia 800 which was costlier and had nothing much to offer at that price ). Various blogs say that Samsung Omnia W will receive WiFi Tethering . But guys the Phone already has Internet Sharing available on the phone (i.e. multiple devices can use your mobile data connection).

So I wonder why on certain blogs they say that their phone does not have this functionality .Anyways ,  coming back to WP 7.8 ... 

So what additional features does the 7.8 update bring to your 
phone ? I know most of you must be knowing this but I would just like to mention it again :

1) Windows Phone 8 like Start Screen . (Probably this should be enough for most of us to get some fresh  and new feel )

2) Bing Daily lock Screen Wallpaper

3) Some new Themes (Mainly Color Schemes)

4) One will be able to make custom Ringtones from their MP3 files --- ( rumour :(  )

5) Bluetooth File Transfer will be available (i simply doubt that ... )

That's it . Not much I can tell unless and until i get the 7.8 update. But friends , I am sure that , "  When you pull out your phone out of our pocket , after you've received the windows phone 7.8 update , it will look and feel the same as a Windows Phone 8 device ".


So Stay tuned , as I will review the new features of Windows Phone 7.8 as soon as I get the update and will be uploading a Video reviewing the same ! 

So Subscribe to my YouTube Channel , Also You may like to know How I became a YouTube Partner , So go ahead and Check My last article on that ... Bye for now !

Cheers :)

How I became a Youtube Partner - My Experience

-->

Earlier to become a YouTube partner was not so easy . (Yes it wasn't ,I have failed a lot of times :P )
 (i had almost given up on it , TRUST ME !)

So inorder to become a YouTube Partner one had to take care of the following points : 

1) Have a LOT of Videos 

2)Have a LOT of Subscribers and Views

3)One had to frequently Upload Videos 

4)No Copyright material should be used . (your video should have your content ) 

So if you make a video of , say , your new Laptop and you review it , you own the copyright of that video and that no one can use it .
So this has been a Big issue because some people think something is  right but its simply wrong !


People use some 10-15 seconds of their favourite  song :P in their video , but they dont realize that its all copyright .


How You Can Become A Youtube Partner

1) Make a lot of videos . ( not just videos , but Good quality content )
------- Most importantly " ORIGINAL VIDEOS " !

2)Get a LOT of subscribers :P (NOT ANYMORE ! )
-----  YOU JUST NEED ORIGINAL CONTENT THAT'S ALL , YOU CAN SEE MY CHANNEL AND JUDGE YOURSELF ! 

I HAVE HARDLY ANY SUBSCRIBERS !  

HERES A Link to MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL -->   My YouTube Channel


3) Slowly You should get more and more views Depending on your quality of content ...

All this is because now being a YouTube Partner Has Become really Easy ! 

OBVIOUSLY , I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BECOME A PARTNER
BUT THIS I AM SHARING WITH YOU IS SIMPLY BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND HOW I MANAGED TO BECOME A Youtube Partner ... :)


 BENEFITS OF BEING A PARTNER : 

1) You can monetize your videos (Revenue sharing with Youtube )
------ You can simply associate an Adsense account and start Earning !

2) You can upload Custom Thumbnails

3) You might have a edge from others (like higher place in Search Results )
    ---- this is what i feel , i might be wrong :P

Hope This Helps You In Getting Started ! My Primary aim was to Encourage each one of you out there Reading this Blog Post ...
