no results with quotes.. google now shows without quotes.

Monday, June 30th, 2008

I’ve just checked out a post on SER forum to see if it was a copy a paste job .. you know the sort when someone pastes the same thing about a subject on a load of forums.

Anyway.. The point is that the query return zero results but below showed the results without the quotes..

Brand new for me ..

Here is the screen shots:

Forums: More adsense $ and More sign ups!

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

Making a good $ from adsense on forums isn’t to easy…

I’ve tested and tested placements colours and sizes..

The main problem is always not to put off your users by having advertising…

I read this blog http://adsense.blogspot.com/2007/07/getting-your-forum-site-to-perform-well.html 
from google a while ago regarding how megaforums are making far more adsense $$$ ..

I personally felt that it was taking it to far as the first thing a new user sees is a chance to register with ads next to it.. hmmm.. not good for growing the forum imho…

So I took the same idea to make people sign up instead of offering them a choice of competitors…

So.. I’m using VB and if you need the code just drop me a email…

Basically i’ve inserted in the first post the nice large sqaure adsense box BUT only viewable to non members… Above the box its mentions that if you sign up this ad box will no longer be shown…

Since adding this registerations have really increased along with the adsense $ ….

Why?

Well many forums answer questions, mine is no different… Many people search for an anwser, hit the site and leave, now if these people see enough of attactive ad then you get a click vs the back button.. Simple..

Here is a screen shot for you:

Nude blogging.. google no longer telling me to share !

Friday, January 5th, 2007

Yesterday it seems google has remove is “tip” box above the serps for the keyword blog..

Basically by typing in ANYTHING like “nude blogging“  would trigger google to display a tip with the blogger logo and the text says

Tip: Want to share your online life with a blog?”

Loads of seo/webmaster became unhappy as it would drop you down in the serps for very target keywords along with views along the lines google about ranking site so if blogger isn’t ranking then why should it be on top..

 

so much coverage of this topic..

Heres some :)
