Optimizing Adsense Ads and Links on Page

So how is that possible by a publisher to take this change (Change of ads title links color on hover) positively and gain more revenue ? Its very simple, just “Optimize Your Links on Page/Post along with Navigation and Other Links” HOW ?

• Without changing or working on Adsense ads colors, which has till date given good results to you website, Check on HOVER what is the tentative Adsense title ad color that changes. For example, if you see the Content ad (Rectangle Box) below title we have used simple and till date working adsense ads color ‘Blue (#0000ff)’ and when you mouse over the Title of any ad link it changes to ‘RED‘.
• Now you can do two things to know what is the color code of those Hover on link by print screen and using ms-paint to paste, select color and calculate the DEC to HEX color code in scientific calculator. Or you can use any other method you prefer.
• Once, you get the Color code, Optimize Other links on the page, like ANCHOR <a>  and Navigation Links to change to same color (In Our Case ‘RED’) via optimizing CSS. Here is the sample CSS code you apply to Anchor Links on page.      a:hover { color: #cc0000; }.
• Now check you page links upon optimizing all Anchor’s, Comparing to Adsense Links, Is that giving visitor a feeling that all the Links on the website / blog page which are click-able changes it color on mouse over (HOVER)  ? If yes, then your Job is done. This will sure help users understand which are click-able links and will increase CTR of all Adsense ads which are related.

This simple adsense optimization idea can help you increase adsense revenue. So instead of getting tensed on why Google did this, we can be positive enough and understand, Changing link colors on hover is well testing by Google before implementing the change all over, We just need to use our clear mind (Taking Adsense LInk Policy into Consideration) on making small changes that will boost your online revenue.  Hope you like this and Put up a comment below.

Smart Bots and Facebook Ajax Comments

Not sure of other SERP and bots who crawls pages, But recently the Tweet by Matt Cutt thats says “Googlebot keeps getting smarter. Now has the ability to execute AJAX/JS to index some dynamic comments” which does not particularly specify Facebook Comments that are integrated via the Javascript / Ajax code “fb:”, But that does means that not only Facebook but almost all type of integrated comments from any source in your blog which were till date not seen to BOTS are now visible to Google.

What Do Webmasters Do ?

Simple, Keep your Facebook Comments on moderation, If not already and Don’t allow any spam to get into you page as it can affects you content quality which can / cannot be considered by Google bot as content to rank you page in Google search results. We need to wait for some more time to get some more reports from Google Inc. on how that will consider Facebook comments, But Webmasters need to be ready with some extra precautions. If handled properly each comment can be an Page Asset, If not Vice-Versa.

Google’s Gomo

Recently Google Inc. started an extreme helpful site called howtogomo.com, a simple to use flash/flex based website teaches webmasters how to go mobile, On top it has detailed lots of facts about mobile users and the upcoming trend. Now, Being an  adsense publisher, i cannot miss the opportunity to earn and increase by adsense income via the mobile compatible ads that can be displayed with the compatible layout of my content.

Some Facts By Google On Mobile Users

This facts is a good sign of ways a webmaster and adsense publisher can get ready to make a mobile compatible wordpress blog or an independent website with any other blogging tools. The facts displayed by Google on Gomo as as :

• By 2013, more people will use their mobiles then a desktop PC to connect internet, surf and refer websites. Now this means, the more mobile easy pages you have the more ads it can display and the more revenue ..wow
• Since, 2010 the mobile searches have gone up to 4 times before, the increase number of searches means the more mobile page views again, and for sure Google search engine will have some ways to give preference to mobile compatible website on raking then the one which is not.
• This is amazing fact by Google, “There will be one mobile device for every person on earth by 2015″, and i believe it will be just cool to see people moving around in life, parks and other places checking your website and clicking you pages and giving some extra revenue in your adsense account. Yes, it will be definitely good then a potential visitor who gives you a valuable click seating on a desktop machine.
• 60% of mobile users expect to get the sites loaded within 3 seconds, This means with compatibility, webmasters needs to work on quality too, the speed always matters to visitors and to Google bots too.
• 71% of users expect the site to get loaded as faster as being on desktop.
• 78%  users will just give 2 trials to checkout your website, if it gets loaded quickly and immediately, Bingo you have another potential click to increase your revenue and the user is also happy visiting.
• 51% users will not recommend you business to their social network friends if you site is not mobile compatible.
• The mobile craze is getting so fast that “14% of users have already turned their preference of visit to competitors website because of bad mobile experience with the sites..”
• Now this is interesting, 23% users just curse their phone when the site doesn’t get loaded faster.
• Already 95% of smartphone users have searched the local information from their mobile, How many of that visitors came to your site ? and how much extra revenue you made ? ask this question to yourself.
• Response of the visitors is that 61% of users likes and calls for inquiry and 59% also visit your business location, this is just great.
• 90% of this visitors acts in 24 hours, this means if you have a products site which is mobile compatible and you got a sale in next 24 hours, Its again an increase in your revenue (although this one not via Adsense).

Now their are more such reviews and facts by Google on this website which is important to visit and understand if you are already a webmaster and have real urge to increase potential users and Adsense revenue. Google has also given a mobile testing tool called ‘GomoMeter‘, which helps us to check how our wordpress blog or website pages looks in smartphones.

The bare fact is Google wants you to start working on websites mobile compatibility as already users are in, If you are a serious blogger making money with adsense, you need to Go Mobile faster to increase you adsense revenue and be with the trend.

• On top priority understand that putting up adsense code and expecting to gain high revenue will just won’t work, Put some time understanding experts recognized by Google adsense case studies themselves. Following the king makers will make path easy.
• Remember, your website and structure is unique so just don’t blindly follow the ad placements, color pattern etc from any other website. You need to do some trial and test on your ads yourself.
• Putting up all the number ad units allowed by Google will not work wonders, 3 Display & Text Ads, All 3 links units will not be liked by your visitors. Sometimes less is more, Try 2 Display/Text ads and 1 link unit and check the coverage section and revenue effects in new adsense interface. Especially check the coverage section. If you have good content with rich keywords then you can think of adding a new ad unit into pages.
• Placement is a primary key for revenue boost, HOW ? .. Major advertisers wants their ads to be seen at ‘Above the Fold‘ of the page (The section of your page seen  before the scroll starts). And most important in the best elegant way it looks, because no visitors of your site want to see those BOLDER, dark colored looking ads which strains the eyes.
• Best optimized placements till date that works wonders and increases you revenue are Above The Fold only, more to help you with location are ‘Below the Title and Before The Main Content (336×280 Large Rectangle)’, ‘Link Units Near Your Navigation Links‘ and ’160×600 (On Left Sidebar)’. You might have noticed i never mentioned small ad units, just because they have never worked for me, and foremost Adsense team themselves recommends this adformats more.
• Play around with the color combinations of your webpages background and adsense ads and wait for couple of days to see results. Again repeat the experiment and see if it is helping you increase your daily revenue or not. Check the reporting section of publisher interface, that helps a lot. Continue it for a month if require and the settle down when you get the optimized layout and adsense format that starts generating a good income. Remember pur blue link still works wonders (code : #0000FF)
• After getting report from a month research on ad units, color combinations and formats, check which ad units gives you more revenue on ‘TEXT ads‘ and which on ‘IMAGE/FLASH ads‘. Its simple, for example if a ad unit is not giving good results in TEXT ads (in a particular location / all locations of pages) then change it to ‘IMAGE ADS ONLY’. (This is upto individual websites, i do not recommend it as a broad patterned for everyone)
• To recollect you back, Are all of your ad units optimized properly ? Yes, the colors, borders and placements are the things to be considered as optimization things in adsense ads. Highly recommend to keep you main body background as white (code : #FFFFFF), it opens vast options to optimize ad units, text, links and urls.
• Finally, place only the required number of ad units, it attracts more competition between advertisers.  Best optimization example ( 1 IMAGE ONLY AD, possibly 160×600) and(1 TEXT and IMAGE AD 338×280 rectangle) which gives advertisers 2 placement positions for Image ads and 4 placement positions for TEXT ads. The rectangle ad will display Image Ad if advertiser BID to cover expenses of all 4 text ad unit and cannot afford price of the 160×600 IMAGE ONLY and On the other way, TEXT LINKS will also get competitive giving relevant ads (HIGH CTR) and increase revenue (HIGH CPC).
• Almost done with the best ways i do it, i finally recommend to read the official adsense optimization at their blog.

Why Social +1 Button On Adsense ads

Google adsense team with its innovative ideas is taking the advertisement more relevant and will show the ads most liked by the visitors, the +1 like button which is currently social to websites will not float on individual ads to get those clicks on advertisement likings.

Like any other ad network, with more and more robust technology in place Google adsense team also wanted a way to know how can we know which ad is liked and helpful to the visitors of a particular website and accordingly it will generate reports on the the image and flash ads which are widely accepted by audience. With adsense team it will surely help the adwords advertisers to know what works and what not.

How +1 on ads will help Publishers and Avertisers

Since the new social button on ads will start been showing from October 1st on all / few publishers websites, it is right now not clear on how exactly will that social button be helping publishers to gain some more revenue, or might be will it be actually affecting the daily/monthly revenue because the visitors can easily understand the multimedia/flash image as an ad and may be they just ignore ? chances are both, it may be or may be the +1 will boost the revenue, how ? It may attract visitors attention on the ad which has the tiny little thumbnail images of the people who liked it and they are the social friends in network.

This may create some curiosity in that particular visitor and will like to know more about the advertisement itself, if their are more +1 clicked by more and more site visitors, it will create more curiosity on why the ads were liked by others and just out of that curiosity ad may be liked to be viewed and here completes the motive of the advertisement “More Relevant Ads On Publishers website, and Worth the money spent by the adwords advertisers.

Removing Plus1 From Adsense Ads

Thyroid in simple terms

Suffering from weight gain despite regular exercise and a balanced diet ? Are you cold intolerant, excessively tired and prone to depression? Or are you at the other end of the spectrum when you feel warm all the time and have
been losing weight for no reason at all? if so, it may be a good idea to get your thyroid tested.

The thyroid is an endocrine gland controlled by the hypothalamus and the pituitary. It is a part of the endocrine system that is made up of several glands in different locations in the body. These glands produce biochemical substances called hormones that enter the bloodstream and travel throughout the body and produce different effects on different tissues.
The thyroid participates in these processes by producing thyroid hormones, principally thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones regulate the rate of metabolism and affect the growth and rate of function of many other systems in the body. Iodine is an essential component of both T3 and T4.

What are the symptoms ?

Hypothyroidism results from the failure of sufficient thyroid hormone reaching the tissues to control metabolism.
The 10 visible symptoms of hpothyroidism includes :

1. Weight gain.
2. Short stature in children.
3. Increased cholesterol.
4. Constipation.
5. Irregular menstrual cycle.
6. Cold intolerance.
7. Tiredness.
8. Swelling in the body.
9. Dryness of skin.
10. Excessive sleep

Hyperthyroidism is the term for overactive tissue within the thyroid gland, resulting in overproduction and thus an excess of circulating free thyroid hormones: thyroxine, triiodothyronine (T3), or both.

The symptoms of this condition include.

• Weight loss.
• Excessive sweating.
• Tremors of the hands.
• Heat intolerance.
• Increased frequency of stools.
• Hyper irritability

How does its functioning affect you ?

The thyroid gland produces the thyroid hormone, which controls virtually every cell, tissue and organ in the body. If your thyroid is not functioning properly, it can produce too much thyroid hormone, which causes the body’s systems to speed up – this is called hyperthyroidism. Or it can create too little of the thyroid hormone, which will cause the
body’s systems to slow down. This condition is called hypothyroidism. Untreated thyroid disease may lead to elevated cholesterol levels and subsequent heart disease, as well as infertility and osteoporosis.

Are Thyroid Genetic and Hereditary ?

Some thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s type of Hypothyroidism and Graves Disease of Hyperthyroidism are hereditary.

What treatment should you take ?

For Hypothyroidism, the best treatment is Thyroxine therapy. The dose required depends on the severity of the condition, and age of the patient. Infants could require a smaller dose. Treatment of Hyperthyroidism is more complex. It could be any of the following:

Anti thyroid drugs: the minimum duration of therapy to be at least 18 to 24 months at which time you get the best results especially for Fraves disease (chance of cure is approximately 40 to 50 percent.

Radio iodine therapy: preferred therapy if patient has side effects to the anti thyroid drugs or a large goiter in which case, chances of getting cured with tablets are less likely. Radio iodine therapy should be used with caution, since it can worsen eye disease among patients with visual problems.

Surgery : Nowadays surgery is not a popular option, since radio iodine therapy is just as effective.

Why should you keep a check on your thyroid ?

Thyroidal diseases are nine times more common in women. The thyroid gland is required for brain development in infants and children. It is important for growth in childhood and for growth in childhood and for proper menstrual cycles in puberty. It could contribute to infertility if not treated and may lead to development of high cholesterol levels.

Thyroidal problems are more probable as women age. All newborns should be screened ideally for thyroid disorder after birth (usually after the third day of birth) and women above 50 years should be screened.

Can you go off thyroid medication eventually ?

About 10 percent of people do develop transient thyrodical illness and these patients can go off medicines after a brief period. But for others, it could be a lifelong treatment.

1. You are probably married in a serious relationship by now. At the same time, you have begun your career climb. The pull
2. and tug of home and work can be strenuous. Steal time to say ‘I love you” to the person in your life, and a quick ‘Hello’ to the person in your life, and a quick ‘Hello’ to yourself, too.
3. Get more Omega-3, by including nuts, olive oil and fish in your diet. Cut down on saturated and processed fats, because your metabolism has begun to slow down, and you are likely to put on weight.
4. Stop to think about your current job and career goals. If you don’t like what you have, this is the time to make a change.

30. Celebrate your 30th year: as a wise man said, “Age doesn’t matter, unless you’re a cheese!.

Eyebrow Check

Be careful to keep eyebrow length in proportion to eye size. To find out what’s ideal for you, hold a pencil from your nostril to the outside edge of your eye, and measure up to the point that the pencil touches your brow. The space
between eyebrows should be the same or smaller than the width of your eye.

1. Find the highest part of the arch by holding pencil parallel to the outside edge of the iris. The first three quarters of the brow should head upward; the final quarter should head downward.
2. The angle of the arch is not how you see it, but as how another person views it when looking straight on at you.
3. Use an eyebrow pencil to soften or define in a shade closer to your skin tone rather than eyebrow colour, and use a brow gel to ‘set’ shape.

Smart Shaping Tips

For perfectly groomed eyebrows in an instant, try combing through them with a brush to flick away any powder or foundation. Comb the hair upwards and outwards. This will also help give you a wide-eyed look. Then slightly slick them with clear gel to hold the shape in place.

• Invest in a good pair of tweezers with a slanted edge. Keep your tweezers sharp and firm. Regularly wipe their tips with alcohol to remove any oily buildup.
• Make sure you’re near a window with light pouring in or under  a bright light with a good mirror when you’re ready to pluck.
• Brush your brows into place, so that you can see the natural shape. Then pluck one hair at a time, in the direction of growth. First remove the hairs between your brows, and then trim the under eye area, tweezing away any stray hairs at the outer sides.
• As a general rule, don’t pluck above the eyebrow area or you will risk distorting the shape of your brows.
• The biggest brow blunder: tweezing too much. Remember, brows can take months to grow back.
• To find the end of your brow, extend the brush diagonally from extend the brush diagonally from your nostril, following the outside edge of your eye toward the brow. Where the inside edge of the brush
  hits is where your brow should end.
• The best brows have a slight arch. To find yours, hold the brush parallel to the outside edge of the coloured part of your eye (the iris). Where the brush meets the brow is where the highest part of your brow should be.
• Afraid of the pain? Cleanse your skin and exfoliate with a gentle scrub to help prep the area. Apply a baby teething gel, and tweeze away. Brush brows up and out.
• Pluck hairs in the direction they grow and do not grab too many hairs at a time. You can hold skin taut as you pluck.
• Once you’re done plucking, apply aloe vera gel to calm the redness.

The 5 How to For Your Eyebrows

1. If your eyes are small, you don’t need heavy brows. Remove some of the excess from the bottom of the brow.
2. If you have wide-set eyes, begin the brows just a little closer to the nose.
3. If your eyebrows are sparse or over plucked, brush them down, and then with an angled brush, apply a little colour along the top of each brow. Touch up any gaps with a little powder and then set with a bit of gel on a brush or clear mascara.
4. To trim out straggly eyebrow, tackle them after a bath when your pores will be open from the heat, so the hairs will be easier to remove. You can also do this before bedtime so that you don’t have to face the day with reddened skin.
5. Eyebrow should be up to two shades lighter than your hair colour. But if you are blonde or grey, the opposite is true.

A Nursery Rhyme On Teapot

“I’ m a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle, here is my spout
When I get all steamed up, the I shout
Tip me over and pour me out”

All About Teapot

Nothing spells the warmth of a rainy afternoon spent indoors or the company of a good friend better than a steaming teapot. From its function to its shape, this is one object that makes us feel at home instantly, providing comfort and beauty all at once. There is something about the graciousness of its spout, coupled with the chubbiness of its body,that makes it one of the cutest objects to have around the house.

It is also amazing how through time, people’s imagination has used the teapot to run wild, and re-create it in all imaginable shapes, sizes and styles, paint it in the most amazing colours and designs, from the classic to the completely kitchy and whimsical. In the world of teapots, there is one for every taste! And it doesn’t stop here -  its asymmetrical yet so well put-together shape, has inspired jewellery, souvenirs, household accessories and kitchen appliances (a teapot-shaped toaster, anyone?).

The 1930s saw the advent of the Art Deco Movement. The machine was seen as an art object with teapots being designed during this period as race cars, railroad engines, airplanes and even tanks.

Types of Teapots

• Classic Brown Betty from red terra-cotta first discovered in 1965. The British claim the shape and the clay with its Rockingham glaze makes the perfect cuppa.
• Japanese Tetsubin or cast iron teapots, were originally used for boiling water to provide heat and humidity in cold weather. When infused tea drinking became popular in Japan during the mid 19th century, Tetsubin were viewed as status symbols. Its enameled interior retains heat well.
• Silver teapots became popular in the 1700s due to their durability and ability to retain heat.
• Procelain teapots influenced by beautiful Yixing teapots and Chinese procelain, Johann Bottger of Germany discovered procelain around 1710.
• Chinese Yixing teapots made from a unique and porous purple clay, become seasoned from repeated use, making each brew a special treat. It is recommended that only one tea flavour brews in a specific Yixing teapot.
• Clear glass teapots are a wonderful way to brew ans appreciate the beautiful colour of tea and see the “agony of leaves,” the term given for the way tea leaves unfurl as they brew in hot water.

History – Exploring the origins

The teapot probably derived from the ceramic kettles and wine pots made in bronze and other metals, which were a feature of Chinese cultural life for thousands of years. The earliest example of a teapot that has survived to this day seems to be the one in the Flagstaff House Museum of Teaware. It has been dated to 1513 and attributed to Gongchun. From the end of the 17th century, tea was shipped from China to Europe as part of the export of exotic spices and luxury goods. Ships that brought tea also carried procelain teapots, the majority painted in blue and white underglaze. Procelain, being completely vitrified, would withstand sea water without damage, so teapots  were packed below deck, whilst tea stayed on top in the dry.

Maintaining Tips For Your Pieces of Art

1. Unglazed teapots are recommended not to be washed in a dishwasher or soapy water. They should be rinsed only with warm water and left upside down to dry.
2. If an unglazed teapot is used with different teas, it is advisible not to mix them and have dedicated teapots for every tea variety to preserve the taste.
3. Natural tannin sediment in an unglazed teapot should be left untouched as over time it will enhance the flavouring without flaking off as in a glazed teapot.
4. To remove build-up of tannin in a glazed teapot one can use boiling water and a couple of teaspoons of baking soda and leave it overnight, then wipe and rinse to desired state.
