Confessions Of A Server

:) Logged into wordpress.com blog and got this :


OH MY! Life is so unfair! What did I do wrong to be born a server in this day and age? I could have been a nice simple bicycle that people happily rode around on all day. But no, I'm stuck inside this metal case serving web pages instead. I never even see the light of day and all I can hear is the rush of the air-conditioning!
Well, no more! I'm relaxing here with a cup of tea and a biscuit until someone shows me some love and attention.

It never takes them long to fix me when I kick up a fuss so check back in a few minutes and I'll be chugging along merrily again.!

Signed,
The WordPress.com web server

Cool Google Datacenter Tools

A few days ago I have added 3 Google Datacenter Tools .

And the tools are :

1. Google Datacenters Saturation Checker - Checks how many pages are in 40 Google Datacenters . This is my favourite one . It's pretty nice to know that your website has ±270 pages indexed and when checking appears that it has 27k+ on 15 datacenters ! :)

2. Google Datacenters Link Popularity Tool - This one is good only when an update is going .

3. Google Datacenters Rank Checker Tool - This free tool is the must usefull one I think it will show how your rankings are going on all datacenters and you can predict what ranks you will get in near future.

Feel free to bookmark / blog / link to them .

Here are a few of them :

Google is Keeping AdSense login information on Blogger Servers

A while ago I was banned from Google AdSense program , was my fault and now i am looking for alternatives .
While my account wasn't banned I used Adsense on this blog , I logged through Blogger administration panel and choosed a type of ads .

Today i was working on my template and clicked on AdSense tab , as my login information were stored by browser i logged and ... login was successfull !

So , I had an AdSense Account , I used it on Blogger , my Adsense account got banned but I still can login to AdSense through Blogger Control Panel this means Google is keeping AdSense login information on Blogger Servers .

Maybe this is not a big deal but this can be a security problem . Be aware !

Writing Content for Adsense

Was just having a smoke with tea and ... here it is .

How to write content to get more clicks from webusers .
First of all adsense must be placed near article but where exacly depends .
If your visitors usually read entire article it would be good to place it under article if not ... ( bad articles :-/) on left or top is best way i think , depends on your design . I don't think ( is just a guess ) that users click on ads placed on right , remember Google triangle that GG users click on first 3-4 listings from search engine results , also now a lot of website's are 800X600 aligned to left as people mostly look there not on right .

Another thing would be what should be in article :

Product reviews i think are best , as Google adsense will give you more money for a click , also i would recommend to say only good things about product . If you will write that this product it's not worth money webusers will not click on ad ( in ad will be listings to buy this product ).

Another thing is not to link to another pages related to your as people will click on it to see what is there . Usually i open links i like in other tabs when reading an article and after reading it i don't click on it as i am busy to check what other pages say .

I think there is another way to write content for AdSense , this doesn't work for all pages but if thinking a little can be used a lot . Give only some information about product , just make webuser curious about it and after reading article visitor will have to click on ads for more information .

I had something more in mind but can't remember , seems i will go now for another smoke to remember it .

AH! =))

I wrote about this but in another way , just will add another example for last adsense tip . EG : If you have a page with a tool ( or you can make one to pretend you have the tool but this is not good as you will get 0 (zero) natural links for this ) and visitors will want to use this tool and guess what he will see ????

Of course you will have to place some good words near adsense code also some people use images near them (in this case keep border of ad not to have problems with AS TOS and make them like images aren't placed there for adsense ) .

In a future post i will put a script to show random images near adsense code on your blogs where you don't have php like this one :( but it will require a php script to run on another server with php .

Hmmm this is it for now . If something else will appear in my head i will write here .

Title of this post is "Writing Content for Adsense" so i just wrote this to say goooglebot or slurp that this page is about
how to write content for better Google Adsense CTR .

Hope you don't mind last paragraph .

Any comments are really apreciated , i will die waiting for them . ( hope not :-/ )

God bless eCPM (this is amount of $$ you earn for every 1000 impressions).

Google domain names ?

Just waked up and checked my mail and news and found a pretty nice article about Google domain names .
Rob Sullivan created a list of domain names Google owns to see what services will we have in the future .

Here is the list :
google-corp.com - every big company can have a "corp" website -not interesting
google-bank.com - PayPal Killer
google-secure.com - for bank or they will secure our windows ?????
google-movies.com - AOL Killer
google-showtime.com
google-showtimes.com
google-travel.com
google-voip.com
google-wifi.com
google-vpn.com
google-webanalytics.com
googleanalytic.com
googleanalytics.com
googleauction.com - EbayKiller

WOW pretty nice huh?
In near future all our life will be around google:make money with google (adsense) spend money with google ... will we remember Yahoo! , AOL or MSN ?
AS IT SEEMS Google is now a portal not a search engine .

Also i heard Google is buying LOTS of high bandthwidth fibres around the world and there are rumors that Google and NASA will give free wifi net over the world -
JUST Imagine that you can target your ads using adwords to neighbours door and show him an ad that his dog was hit by a car . Hmmmm this doesn't look pretty nice in my head but you've got it ;)
