Google Page rank is based on back links. Back links are Links pointing to your website from another website. The more back links you have the higher your PR will be.

1. Join forums, forums are a great way to achieve links to your website. In most forums you are allowed to have a signature and in your signature you can put a link to your website. But another important note to look on is making sure the forum is somewhat related to your website. You will still get credit if it's not, but if it's related to your website than you will be accomplishing two tasks at once.

You will be advertising for your website (bringing in targeted traffic) You will also be building your websites presence.

Your websites presence is very important to your survival. The more people see, or hear about your website the more credibility you will have and this increases your chances of having these visitors come back and possibly become leads.

2. Submit to search engine directories. Search engine directories are a good way to get a free link to your website. They also increase your chances at being listed higher on popular search engines like Google, and overture.

Most search engine directories allow you to submit to their website for free. This will allow you to increase your web presence by being listed on another search engine, and it will also be a free link.

Remember the more links you have the higher your PR will be

3. Using ezine ads (or newsletters). Creating an ezine will probably be the most beneficial step you can take to increasing your web presence. When you create an ezine you will be able to keep visitors coming back to your website for more by using signatures and giving special deals.

Ezine's will also allow you to increase your back links. By creating an ezine you can submit your information about your ezine to an ezine directory. This directory will than link to your website(thus giving you a free link).

4. Creating and publishing articles. Articles are an easy source of generating new traffic. You can include your signature in your article. This will bring in more traffic from article submission directories.

Your signature usually consists of 4 to 8 lines. Usually the first line would be the title of the website that you are trying to advertise. The last line would be the link to the website and the lines in between these would be a sales pitch to draw your viewers into your website.

5. Links from related websites. Gaining links from related websites can be one of the most frustrating tasks you can attempt.

They are very easy to find, but can be somewhat difficult to obtain links from.

To find related websites, all you have to do is go to a search engine... say Google... and type in your subject. Maybe your website is based on ford mustangs.

You go to Google and type in ford mustangs, than you look around for pages that are somewhat related to your website. After you have done this (which should be very easy) you have to contact them in some way to get your link posted on their website. This can be the most difficult task because a lot of webmasters ignore e-mail's from people requesting links because they don't see the importance of it at the time. Some other reasons could be that they are rarely online, or they delete spam mail and sometimes delete their important emails in the process.

Important note: When looking for link partners don't just link with websites that have a page rank of 4 or higher. Link with anyone and everyone you get a chance to. If you link to someone that has a page rank of zero, this will not hurt your page rank. It will only increase it because you are getting a link back to your website. Google doesn't look at your back links page ranks to determine what yours is going to be. It simply looks at how many back links you have.

So if Google one day decided to link to a website that was just created and this website has a page rank of 0 and has a domain that goes something like this: mywebsite.geocities.com it's page rank wouldn't increase even though Google's page rank is 10, it's rank would still be zero because it would only have that one back link.

What is Adsense?
Google Adsense is a program which displays contextual ads on your website based on the content. For example, If you are writing a figure review, you should have ads automatically show up which are relevant (toy/figure shops etc). Ads show up also based on what Google thinks your site is about. I have a lot of Japan articles which is why a lot of Japan related ads show up. Will give you details on how to sign up for Asdense at the end of this post.


Ad placements/shapes/colors etc
Once you signup for an Adsense account at Google, you login and create blocks of ads which are in the form of Javascript snippets that you place within your HTML. Notice how I dont have any visible borders around my ads and how the colors match my site - this is the best converting combination.
I know some site owners want to distinguish ads from content by leaving the ads in their default colors (includes border) but less people are likely to click on them. Its not a matter of tricking your users - Adsense ads are clearly labeled "Ads by Google" as you can see. If the ads blend in with your site then users can easily make decisions as to whether they want to click or not.
Ads in default colors scream out "I'm an Ad!" and the likelihood of people clicking on them drops significantly. If you still want to make it clear that Adsense is not part of your site content, then maybe you can add a heading above the ads and use colors that blend with your site but the conversion is going to be extremely low and may as well not bother. Even Google mention that borderless ads convert well within their help pages.

Now that you have decided on colors, you need to decide on placement. "Above the fold" is an internet UI expression which means "everything above the status bar at the bottom of the browser" - its the area from the top of the page until the bottom of the browser window (without scrolling down). Everything above the fold is the highest converting real estate you have - you stick more ads up there and you will earn more money.
At one point I used to have 3 blocks of Adsense above the fold - sure I was making a ton of money but the site looked awful! The single row of Adsense that you see at the top of my site is the highest converting block for me.


Your content
Now that you have decided on colors and placement, you need to consider your content - Adsense ads appear automatically and there are no settings to display the ads of your choice. If ads are relevant to your site content then people are likely to click. for example...
Take a look at the screenshot of my post on working in Japan. You can see that most of the ads are Japan related - one of the ads is even entitled "Work in Japan".

In order to achieve this you need to do a few things starting with the title of your post. One of the reasons why I have short titles is because I want relative ads to show up. If I chose a title "My tutorial on looking for work in the land of the rising sun" over "Work in Japan" then the ads that show up will be less relevant. Ultimately its up to you as to how you want to title your posts. Some people say that short titles are un-descriptive but I believe that one can be creative in coming up with short titles that represent the content of the post.

Notice how that Work in Japan page has related Japan posts in the left column. I made the post detail pages so that the Related Posts section is actually related to the page content - same for figures, Gundam posts etc too.
This is because I want a particular page to be as focused as possible on one subject. I dont want too much text about Gundam for example on that Japan post. For a Japan post for example, I try to keep the percentage of text about Japan over 70%. If I have a mix of Japan and Gundam text at a 50/50 ratio then the relevance of the ads drop.


Other tweaks
Now that you have decided on colors and placement, you need to do a few tweaks to your HTML code to ensure that you are getting ads displayed at a high relevance.
Again taking the Work in Japan page as an example - have a look at the source code. You will see that the title of the post is in a H1 tag. Adsense places importance on the text within H1 tags. Only use this once on your pages or you may be penalized for spamming. Make sure the blog software that you are using places your titles in a H1 tag.

Are the titles of your post still looking like" www.somedomain.com/?P=13" ? when it can be looking like "www.somedomain.com/15/working+in+japan/" ? Not only does having the title in your url help to increase the importance of the post title (and therefore help display relevant ads), it also benefits your site in terms of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The better SEO your site is, the higher the rankings are - one of the reasons why figure.fm shows up a lot when you search for figures. There should be options in the blog software that you use to enable you to control what your urls look like.


Adsense Channels
When you create blocks of ads, you can designate channels. A channel is a mean for you to identify which blocks of ads are effective. For example, you want to see whether its worth putting ads within the text of your posts - you think that it will earn more money but also think it may annoy your readers. By using channels, you can see whether people click on that ad - if they dont then remove it.

Sometimes, Adsense cant figure out what your site is about and may display a public service ad (donate to red cross etc) and sometimes may just show up blank leaving a nasty gap in your page. You can over come this by installing piece of Javascript that Google gives you - its hidden in the options which allow you to designate what to show when Adsense cant serve you ads.


Adsense Filters
From time to time, you will see ads appear on your site that you dont particularly want displayed - you can block these domains within your Adsense control panel.


Other things to consider
Here are some tips on running a site but dont necessarily affect Adsense (but are important).


For those thinking of starting a blog, starting off with something niche is good. For me that means Otaku and Japan. If you are starting off and try to cover everything under the sun then it may be difficult for you to gain substantial readership.
Volume of traffic = more revenue. Plain and simple equation. Bloggers who want to keep their site small scale with a small group of regular readers is fine but should not expect to make money from blogging.
Being active in communities and commenting on other peoples blogs will help generate traffic to your site.
The more content that you write, the more it will be picked up by search engines and if your pages are properly SEO'ed then you should expect more and more traffic.
Working with others. Working with other site owners will benefit both parties and in this case I mean sharing traffic. I know some bloggers are not keen on sharing traffic as they think that they will be loosing readers - thats not what the internet is about. The readers choose what they want to read - not the blogger.

Bloggers who are afraid of loosing readers are probably not confident about the quality of their content. Channeling readers to other sites rarely means that they will loose readers. If regular readers like your content then they will come back.
Working with other bloggers has made a huge contribution to the current readership of this site.

Being able to make money from affiliates is not a myth - your passion for your niche category and your focus will enable you to reach your destination like it has helped me.
The most I have ever made through all my affiliate programs is just over 1000 USD per day last December - my next goal is to keep it a steady 1000 by Q4 of this year - nearly there ^^.

Just like me, one of my ex colleagues at Amazon left to start his own company because he had the financial backing from income through his affiliate sites. The ironic thing is that I got him started on affiliating and taught him a lot of the tricks of the trade. He is built like a brick - never gets sick and never sleeps and has been able to build much more affiliate sites than me - resulting in much much more money than I earn! He is also much more focused than me as he does not have scantly clad figures on his desk to distract him ^^;
Seriously, its good to share info with entrepreneurs like him - sharing our methods means that we both benefit.

Google Adsense is actually the lowest generating form of income for me - I make much more money through Amazon associates and other programs such as DTI, Affiliate 2.0, Rakuten Affiliate etc etc - I will be talking about some of these in the future but in the meantime do check out Adsense below.
For those who have not done so before can read my affiliate story.
If you have any affiliate questions - post away and I will be more than happy to help.

To have a money making blog needs a massive traffic but how would you increase your traffic by attracting readers?

Topic
Topic is the more adviceable factor to increase your blogs traffic. Topics such as Weight Loss, Blogging Tips, Informational topics and etc. mostly attracts the readers. On the site mostly I loved, the Problogger.net have the most interesting topic, blogging tips, and so ,it attracted so much readers because it's author Darren Rowse posts Make Money Blogging articles and for newbie bloggers, they are more attracted to visit this site and thats how Blog Topic was the most adviceable factor of make money blogging.

Sign up for Pinging Services
Publishing your blog on Blog search engines also increases the visitors of your blog by day due to your blog content. Blog Search Engine such as Technorati.com gives oppurtunity for some bloggers to publish their blog URLs there at the same time visitors who searched some blogs can visit your blog too. ( It's by the content of your blog that the readers actually search for.)

Sign up for FeedBurner, an RSS service
FeedBurner basically helps you to promote your blog’s content, and to build and measure your audience.

Post comments at other blogs
Here, you should visit similar blogs to your own, post legitimate comments and then sign your name(along with a link to your blog). This way, people know you aren’t there just to promote your site—you’re there to post a good piece of feedback and also say where you’re from.

Use keywords in your blog
Like regular Web pages, having a good keyword density on a blog is a terrific way of getting search engine spiders to notice your page. (FYI: Search engine spiders are programs from search engines that browse sites and report back their findings to the search engine database, which then lists that site. The more keywords on your site, the more likely it is for a search engine spider to pay a visit)

If your average blog posting is around 200 words, use 2-6 keywords per blog post. This creates a keyword density of between 1 and 3 percent, a respectable number. Remember that you don’t want to use too many keywords, as that will make your blog look bad. Also be sure that the keywords used are relevant to your blog. Before even making a blog posting, decide what the post will be about and then select a keyword or two to use in your post. This will help to increase your traffic.

Step1

Establish your own RSS feed resource company. While RSS feeds increase traffic, they do take technical knowledge and time to construct. Therefore, you could start a service that assists others in establishing and maintaining their RSS feeds.

Step2

Submit your RSS feed to Internet directories that can drive new traffic to your website. As your website page views and clicks increase with this new traffic, so will the profits.

Step3

Syndicate the RSS feed on your website to other sites to increase the exposure to website content. These other websites gain sources of relevant information, which can increase your marketing revenue by this increased exposure. The easiest way to syndicate is to create a subscription button directly on you website. This button provides the necessary code for a webmaster to include your RSS feed directly on his website.

Step4

Use the RSS feeds to increase your search engine ranking. Most search engines place a high value on fresh content and the RSS feed provides this type of content. When your website's search engine improves, so will the internet traffic to your site Then the click revenue will increase resulting in profits from these RSS feeds.
