Top 10 ways to maximize your Adsense earnings

Here are my top 10 ways to maximize your Google Adsense earnings.

1. Use text ads only. It has been shown that text ads are more effective than image ads. . That’s the beauty of text ads, they blend so nicely with your content, your reader may really think it is another of your links.

2. Blend your ads. Take the time to use the color palate in Adsense to blend your ads with your current site style. Your users will thank you for this and so will your wallet. Take the time to make the ad link colors the same as your page’s.

3. Display only one ad block per page. Remember, without traffic there is no revenue. Your visitors are there for your content, not your ads. If you are running a blog, try to space out your ads between articles. CyberWyre inserts one Google ad every other article.

4. Remove unnecessary links from your page. Remember your visitors are there for your content, and you want them for their ad clicks. Any link to an external site is a potentially wasted ad click. Try to remove superfluous links and focus your visitors attention firstly to your content, and secondly on your ads.

5. Use channels to track your progress. Actively use Adsense’s channel feature to track different campaigns you may be running. Experiment and compare your results over time.

6. Put at least one ad block above the fold. “Above the fold” is the first portion of the website which is visible to the user, without needing to scroll.

7. Use section targeting. If your pages are very long and contain various different topics, Adsense sometimes has time determining which would be the correct ad to place on your page. Remember, we always want our visitors to see the most relevant ad to what they are currently reading. Use section targeting to divide the different topics on your page. As an example, section targeting could be used to partition off different blog articles on a home page.

8. Use Google’s Heat Map. Read through Google’s article on their heat map and try to follow by example. They know their own stuff best.

9. Use high paying keywords. If possible, use high paying keywords in your site. If there happens to be one portion of your site which is focused on a high paying keyword, refer to tip #7 and apply section targeting around that area.

10. Increase your traffic. Adsense is a numbers game. Simply put, more traffic equals more money.

Data Mining using Google IV

Putting it all Together:

Now it’s time to start to get creative with our search terms and really narrow down our results. Now that we have the basics, let’s start to combine them all into one search term.
Example #1: Search for some MP3sLet’s say you’re a Beatles fan and want to see if you can find some of their songs on the Internet without using Kazaa, etc. Try this query:
"index of" + "mp3″ + "beatles" -html -htm -phpor you could try this query:* "index of/mp3″ -playlist -html -lyrics beatles

Right away on the first few results returned by Google you can download MP3s.
Example #2: Mixing some techniques together
Here’s a simple exercise. We’ll mix around a few terms to get more accurate results. Let’s say we want to research sleep recommendations. One assumption could be that research papers on this topic would most likely be on an educational website — perhaps with a .edu domain. We could try this query:
sleep recommendations site:edu
Maybe we’re in my situation, and am thinking of applying to grad school. Let’s see if we can find the Graduate Studies Admissions Requirements at the University of Toronto. We could try this query:
grad school admission requirements site:utoronto.ca

Summary:

After reading this article, you might be thinking "well, I could probably find those results without remembering these advanced search terms". Well, the truth is that you probably could. The reason you want to start to use these advanced search tips is because they will help you find what you’re looking for faster. They greatly help narrow down the results, and more often than not, the information you were looking for will be in the first two or three results.

Data Mining using Google

Google in next to no time, has become one of the most known words on the internet, virtually mllions use it everyday. In an advanced database class back in a university, a couple of weeks was spent studying the 'ins' and 'outs' of search engines. One topic that happened to come up was " Data Mining using Google." Much to my surprise, out of a class of 80 fourth year computer engineers maybe four or five knew how to use Google to perform any sort of advanced queries.
Google (and many other search engines) has the ability not only to search on keywords, but also using a more “database-ish” query language to really narrow down your search results. Consequent post will highlight a summary of a few of the most useful lesser known features. Note: in the examples, replace www.cyberwyre.com with your own domain.

MESOTHELIOMA III

MESOTHELIOMA TREATMENT OPTIONS
The treatment program for mesothelioma depends on many factors, including: the stage of the cancer, where the cancer is, how far the cancer has spread, how the cancer cells look under the microscope and the patient’s age and desires.

MESOTHELIOMA II

One of the most common symptoms of mesothelioma is a pleural effusion, or an accumulation of fluid between the parietal pleura (the pleura covering the chest wall and diaphragm) and the visceral pleura (the pleura covering the lungs). Both of these membranes are covered with mesothelial cells which, under normal conditions, produce a small amount of fluid that acts as a lubricant between the chest wall and the lung. Any excess fluid is absorbed by blood and lymph vessels maintaining a balance. When too much fluid forms, the result is an effusion.


Types

Pleural effusion is broken down into two categories, transudates and exudates. A transudate is a clear fluid that forms not because the pleural surfaces are diseased, but because of an imbalance between the normal production and removal of the fluid. The most common cause of transudative fluid is congestive heart failure. An exudate, which is often cloudy and contains many cells and proteins, results from disease of the pleura itself, and is common to mesothelioma. To determine whether a fluid is a transudate or exudate, a diagnostic thoracentesis, in which a needle or catheter is used to obtain a fluid sample, may be conducted.
Symptoms
As the volume of fluid increases, shortness of breath, known as "dyspnea", and sometimes pain, ranging from mild to stabbing, may occur. Some patients may experience a dry cough. When the doctor listens to the patient’s chest with a stethoscope, normal breath sounds are muted, and tapping on the chest will reveal dull rather than hollow sounds.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of pleural effusion is usually accomplished with a simple chest x-ray, although CT scans or ultrasound may also be used. A special x-ray technique, called a lateral decubitus film, may be used to detect smaller effusions or to enable the physician to estimate of the amount of fluid present. If the underlying cause of the effusion is readily apparent (such as in the case of severe congestive heart failure), sampling of the fluid may not be necessary, however, because pleural effusion may be symptomatic of a number of disease processes from benign to malignant, a fluid sample is generally taken. Diagnostic thoracentesis, in which cells are extracted from the pleural cavity, is commonly done when the possibility of mesothelioma exists, however, in up to 85% of cases, the fluid tests negative or inconclusive even though cancer is present. It is ultimately a needle biopsy of the pleura (lining of the lung) or an open surgical biopsy which confirms a mesothelioma diagnosis.

Treatment

Pleural effusion caused by heart failure or infection can usually be resolved by directing treatment at the cause, however, when testing has realized no diagnosis, and fluid continues to build or recur, doctors may recommend chest tube drainage and chemical pleurodesis. Chemical pleurodesis is a technique in which a sclerosing agent is used to abrade the pleural surfaces producing an adhesion between the parietal and visceral pleurae.

This will prevent further effusion by eliminating the pleural space. Talc appears to be the most effective agent for pleurodesis, with a success rate of nearly 95%. It is highly effective when administered by either poudrage or slurry. Poudrage is the most widely used method of instilling talc into the pleural space. Before spraying the talc, the medical team removes all pleural fluid to completely collapse the lung. After the talc is administered, they inspect the pleural cavity to be sure the talc has been evenly distributed over the pleural surface. Some doctors prefer to use talc mixed with saline solution which forms a wet slurry that can roll around the pleural cavity.

What is Mesothelioma ?

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer in which malignant (cancerous) cells are found in the mesothelium, a protective sac that covers most of the body’s internal organs. Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles. Many people who are diagnosed with mesothelioma subsequently get involved in a class action lawsuit against their former employer.

Yahoo adds Features to Firefox Toolbar

Yahoo Inc. on Thursday said it has added features to its toolbar for the latest version of the Firefox Web browser.

The Sunnyvale, Calif., portal said on its search blog that by using the right mouse button, toolbar users will be able to access Yahoo Search, Web mail, instant messaging or Yahoo's social networking site 360 degrees.

In addition, toolbar subscribers can use their mouse to save whatever page they're on to Yahoo's My Web personal portal or to Yahoo Bookmarks service.
Yahoo Toolbar 1.1 is available now for Mozilla Corp.'s Firefox 1.5.

On Wednesday, Yahoo unveiled new features for its My Web 2.0 personal portal, which is in beta. The homepage, for example, has been upgraded to provide immediate access to a person's three most recently saved Web pages, and the ability to search pages saved by everyone on the network.

In addition, Yahoo has added tools for inserting recently saved pages in blogs, and for placing a button on a page so others can save it directly into My Web.

Yahoo Writer Jailed in China

Just some few hours ago, Internet portal Yahoo provided information about another of its members to the Chinese government, leading to the second such arrest uncovered in recent months, a journalist rights group charged on Thursday.

Reporters Without Borders said Li Zhi, a Yahoo customer and “cyberdissident,” received an eight-year prison sentence in December 2003 based on electronic records supplied by Yahoo.
The group claims 49 cyberdissidents and 32 journalists are currently in prison in China for posting articles and criticism of the authorities on the Internet. It believes that the identities of many of these people were revealed by companies like Yahoo.

The group believes that Yahoo is bending it's rules to fit the communist regime.
Shares of Yahoo fell $0.33 to $32.67 in recent trading.

Yahoo spokesperson Mary Osako, in their defense,pointed out that Yahoo’s Chinese partner, Alibaba, has been managing all the operational and compliance policies for Yahoo’s China business since October 2005.

In cases prior to that time, she said that Yahoo was not aware of why the Chinese government was seeking information. “As in most jurisdictions, including the U.S., governments are not required to inform service providers about why they are seeking information,” said Ms. Osako.
“We would not know if a request had to do with murder, kidnapping, or a political request,” she added. “We only responded with what we were legally required to provide and nothing more. We are rigorous in our procedures and made sure that only the required material was provided.”
