Maximise your click-throughs with placement
Posted by Rob Brideson in Google Adsense, Marketing Tips, Web Design on November 29, 2009
Yeah, size matters, but so does placement…particularly as far as Google AdSense ads are concerned. Use the skyscraper format for ads, putting them in the margins as opposed to banner ads across the top or bottom. Well, guess how much difference that can make?

Never hide headings
Posted by Rob Brideson in Blogging, Google Adsense, Internet Marketing, Marketing Tips, Pay Per Click, Web Design on November 27, 2009
Remember how I said people look to the upper left? If you’ve been centering your headlines and subheadings, do you still think that’s a good idea? Well, it’s not. Yeah, I know newspapers, magazines and books do it. So do lots of other sites. But that’s just not where people want to look first. They’ve [...]

Frontloading means that you start headlines, paragraphs and links with the most important words. The first words should communicate the subject of the headline, paragraph or link. This is not like writing a novel or a story, where you have time to be coy and not get to the point for a while. You’ve got [...]

What is extreme content? Don’t worry—it’s not adult content, or graphic violence, or even anything terribly controversial. “Extreme content” refers to very large sites ranging in size from 1,000 to 10,000…even 300,000 pages. Now why on earth would anyone go to the trouble to create anything that huge, other than trying to get into the [...]

With the decline of meta-tags, keyword density ranges have become very important. They’ve also become very controversial. Here’s the thing: you want a high enough keyword density—at least 7%–that your keywords rank highly in the bigger search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. But, as I pointed out in an earlier post, you don’t [...]

You may ask… What’s a Googlebot? Well it’s one of the little automated web-searching spiders that check your website pages and decide whether they are worth indexing. And these spiders have definite preferences, so you want to make sure your content is good spider food. Spiders like: Neat code—less lines of code than lines of [...]
