Did you submit your site to this search engine?

In an attempt to make easy money online, I got this question hanging in my head. Did I submit my site to all search engines and blog directories? My answer would be yes. Is it enough aside from pouring quality content to your site? Now I will focus on another search engine. We already know the big names, right? This time its Baidu.com. What's the name again? Its Baidu, taken from a poetic name used more than 800 years ago, during the Song Dynasty. I am talking Chinese here. Yes, Chinese are considerably the second largest internet user after the Americans and may soon overtake that trend.

How to submit your site then?

Before submitting your site to Baidu, be sure to download this language translator plugin for wordpress first. Why do you need this plugin? In case, your site will be indexed by Baidu, a reader from China will surely visit your site. Your content should be ready for the quick translation.

You need to have the google toolbar installed at your preferred browser. Be sure to Activate the Language Translator Button and usually can be found at Google Toolbar's Settings -> Options -> Features. 

Then type http://www.baidu.com/search/url_submit.html, after which click the translate button (to English) found at the Google Toolbar you installed. You will be then presented with the submission form. Simply type your site's url, then enter

the security code and your done.

Conclusion.

However, it is not a guarantee that your site will be indexed by Baidu, immediately. Whoever get success onto this tips should prepare how to handle comments. Hmmmmm. What do you think? Can you speak Chinese for your reply then. Just find out and be ready or else it will be very tough.

Make money with a kid blogger.

Make money online with a 13 year old" href="http://www.carlocab.com"> I had been following to Carl Ocab for almost two months already. If you don't know who he is, try searching for the phrase "make money online." href="http://www.google.com/search?q=make+money+online&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enPH253PH254" target="_blank">make money online" at Google and you will be surprised. The site will land no. 1 for the given phrase. Although, there are days that it will go down for the second place. But the point here, he has gone a good job in grabbing the phrase.

The catch phrase is "Make money with a 13 year old". Sounds too good to be true. When you visit the site you will be then presented with a Free Copy of Report that contains, his way of blogging, traffic building, like the alexa train and later monetizing it. For those who want to start to make money online, I recommend to visit his site and learn how to make easy money online.

I am surprised.

I would like Carl to let him know that I'm disgusted and annoyed by this so called "exit promotion script". If he cares for his loyal readers, then he should not do this. I think it would be better to change to a much better script, something that will pop out when you hit the browser's exit button and not like this one, blocking your visibility for about 500px by 400px when you move your mouse cursor. I know some of these scripts that has been around the net for sometime now. It will cost a couple of bucks and I know Carl can afford this one. I may not be an authority, but this what I do not like to an authority site just like Carl's.

Kontera’s Limited Time Offer - A great challenge.

If you consider monetizing your website or blog without sacrificing the precious space on your site, then consider signing up for Kontera ContentLink.

This is CPC (Cost Per Click) basis advertisement to highly targeted audience without bringing you to advertiser's or publisher's website. Their technology will scan all the words in your post and it will turn some words into and ad. You can see words with double underline and then an ad pop up when you hover it.

At first, you cannot easily sign up unless you meet the minimum 500,000 page views requirement. But as the time goes by, they doesn't require it as long as you have the a site whether big or small containing textual content.

Kontera will play along with Google's Adsense, so you don't have to worry with Adsense's policies. Be sure to change the AdLinkColor to match your site's link color. In my case, I change it the hex value to #2f63b3. This one way to increase CTR (Click Through Rate).

This time they have a limited time offer. If you reach 50,000 page during your first month, you can get an additional $25.00 with your first payment. For small sites, it is undoubtedly very hard to reach, especially if you are just starting. This offer, I call it a challenge, will work best if you got an established site. If you got yourself kicking for this challenge then go sign up for their OFFER.

A simple on-page optimization.

After an exhaustive tinkering over the site, I decided to post what I have done so far in relation to "on page optimization". This will be the first post in a series that would follow.

Look, I changed the Title of the site to "Make Easy Money Online | Make Money At Home with Affiliate Programs". This is the simplest way to optimize your title by changing the TITLE tag. Lets tackle this one by one. I did not use "and" instead I use this character "|". If you are on a Windows OS you can get this vertical line via Character Map found at Accessories, System Tools. The main purpose of using this character is to avoid unnecessary words dangling over your main title. The title tag itself should look good to Google's eyes. As much as possible, use a word pertaining to your domain name, although it has less significance nowadays, since looking for a good domain name is challenging but it is worth if you plan to make it land on top for a specific keyword.

AC Tips:

For the title tag, you can use up to 70 to 80 characters, but there some search engines that will cut off up to 60 characters only. You better be safe to have the your title at least 60 characters long.

Be sure to have an attractive title tag because this will be YOUR Click over search engines result. And as a Great Blogger Rule, never mislead your readers over your simple title tag. Others will do this intentionally. If you do this, it can hurt your page rank eventually.
