I have a bad habit of checking my Adsense account multiple times a day.
I do it when I am on the move, i.e. travelling, or waiting for someone, or when I have nothing better to do. The problem is that my iPhone sucks when working with Flash based web-pages.
Google Adsense uses Flash while displaying the graphs, and the earning details, so all I am able to check via the iPhone native Safari browser is the earning figure.
I therefore had started using a 3rd Party Application called DuoSense which displayed my Adsense Earning easlity on my iPhone. This wasn’t obviously the perfect solution, but..well.. it was better that opening the Adsense website directly.
On 3rd March, last month Google Introduced the Mobile Interface of the Adsense Earning Program for publishers. This has been truly a boon for people like me! The mobile interface is fast, crisp! and provides all the details I want to see. Luckily, it does not need Flash to run also. This means, you can view your Adsense account on any phone that has a HTML browser (most smart-phones have this).

This is one of the topics I get asked many times on forums and via email. I have had good SEO success in the past in most niches. It actually comes down to one simple rule – Get links, good quality links!
Now when links are built naturally all is okay, anchor text is varied (obviously), and people from all over the globe are linking to you because of the great value you are providing. However, looking at things from the SEO perspective, we all want to build good quality links (ourselves) to our sites. These may be from Web 2.0 sites, Directories, Blogs, etc.
Why is the anchor text we choose for our link building campaign important? [click to continue…]

Whenever, I see people, especially my friends trying to uncover the whole mystery associated with the “Make money online” phrase, I feel amused. Actually, there is a lot of negativity and fear attached to doing home based jobs in order to make some kind of supplemental income in India, and most parts of the world.
The purpose of this post is to uncover the whole game of “Making Money Online”, and explaining to everyone, why and how you can be included in the “elite” list of people who are able to earn a living via the internet.
Why Making money online is the easiest way to get additional income, and even earn a living for most people: [click to continue…]

This is the perfect time/period to write this post.
Everything on the internet comes in waves, a new technology, a new strategy, new marketing techniques, etc. Example: First Hotmail, now Gmail. First MySpace, now Facebook/Twitter. First Napster, now Music Streaming sites. Lastly, the biggest of them all: first, AltaVista Search, now the Big G.
So, like everything, I have seen an upsurge in the development and promotion of “Micro Niche” Adsense websites. Although the basic strategy behind these sites is the same: keyword research, low competition, quality content and easy monetization. It can be seen, that most people are EXPLOITING this technique. Hence, Micro Niche Websites is commonly mistaken as a Made-For-Adsense (MFA) site.
Plenty of people are riding the wave. It is only till Google catches up. [click to continue…]

Just thought I would let you guys know (you can skip this, if you are aware of VeriSign price increases).
The organization that registers .Com and .Net domains, i.e. VeriSign, has decided to increase price for both tlds. Domain prices are going to go up on July 1, 2010 – .com: 7% increase and .net: 10% increase.
This is a bad news for people like me, who buy a lot of domains for mini sites, niche sites, etc.
Earlier a .Com and .Net at goDaddy could be bought at $7.49 + $0.18 (ICANN Fees) = $7.67,
Now, dot com would cost: $8.02 + $0.18 = $8.20. and,
dot net will cost: $8.24 + $0.18 = $8.42!
Therefore, net increase:
.com: + $0.53
.net: + $0.75
For people like me, who purchase 100s of domains every month, it is an extra cost of a few hundred dollars!
Anyways, just for the heads up, you can purchase domains at old prices till July 1, 2010.

Hmm.. Its been quite some time since I posted on this blog. Some big projects have been keeping me busy. However, it is now time I share something nice with all you loyal readers.
If you personally know me, you will know, that I am an Adsense guy, i.e. most of my efforts goes into making of quality sites monetized primarily by Adsense.
I am always looking to diversify my internet income. This is why my affiliate revenue is almost as good as Adsense. Anyways, in March 2010 (2 months back), I decided to check out, what the Amazon associates program was all about. Now, I have read all over forums, blogs, etc. that tha Amazon affiliate program literally sucks!
Why? Well..from the research I had previously done, I figured, that the conversion rates for most people were poor, less that 1% of ultra targeted traffic, and also that Amazon, sent payment only after 90 days of finalizing you earnings. Hence, if you have earned something in January, they will release the payment only at the end of March! wow! Moreover, if you live outside the United States, the only mode of payment available is a check sent via snail mail (Amazon does bank wire for USA), which will take another month to reach you. So, you actually receive your payment in about 4 months, not counting the time taken by the banks to clear international checks. [click to continue…]

I have been using article marketing (read submission) as one of my main SEO tactics. You can bet that I have used almost all the services out there, ranging from manual submission, spinned article submission, to automated submission software.
However, this is the first time I am publicly reviewing a product like this. Yes, it is UAW or the Unique Article Wizard. UAW is basically an article distribution service (like iSnare) but with a twist. You need to sign up with them @ $67 per month. You then have to write articles (spinned and re-written allowed) and upload it to their system. Soon enough, after reviewing the article you have uploaded, they will use their proprietary algorithm, to create unique variations of your article – which they will then submit to the article directories in their network.

Ask Aditya Reader Question:
I have subscribed to many automated link building services, such as Unique Article Wizard, LinkVana, etc. My site is hello1234.com, what I want to know is what anchor text should I choose for link building (since these are not “natural” links). Should I only use “hello 1234″ [this is the keyword I am trying to target] ?
