SEO INDORE SERVICES By- ISHAN MISHRA

1) If you want to maximize your profits, make sure to create more than one website.
However, you don’t want to start off by creating 100 websites. Maintenance for that many sites, at first, would be hectic. While having only one website would be the easiest to maintain, it also increases your chances of being cut out altogether by the latest algorithm update. So, you want to have a few websites up and running. Then if the latest algorithm forces one website out, you still have a few others to generate income from while you work on the affected one.

2) Pick a niche to write about per site.
Creating a site that discusses any topic under the moon may be easier to find the desire to update, but it will make it difficult to create constant traffic, make it hard for the Google search engine to rank your site, and cause trouble generating ads that are on topic.
Also, if you only pick one subject to focus on, you can go more in-depth and gain expertise in that field. This makes your website more profitable for users and yourself.

3) Create a site about something you are already interested in!
This Google Adsense tip only makes sense! Making your site about something that you like makes it more fun in the long-run for you to continue managing your site. If something is less like work, then you are more likely to do it. Constant updates on your site is good for traffic and search engines, which generates clicks on your ads.
However, don’t create a site about something that is not in demand. Just because you like to study rare deep-sea anglerfish doesn’t mean that everyone else does. If you want to maximize your profits, you will need to give information about something that the general public will be researching.

4)Do not put Google Adsense on a brand new site!
When building a new site, wait until you have completed the site, you have built inbound links, and you are getting traffic. A brand new site can leave your ads being off topic and difficult to follow.
Also, if you try to apply to Google Adsense too early when your website is brand new, you will most likely be turned away. Google wants to know that your site has enough traffic so that putting their ads on your page will be profitable to them and you. They don’t waste time on beginner or spammy sites.

5) Do not put images next to your ads!
While many people did this for years and it worked successfully, it now against Google’s policies to do so. This is considered to be ‘encouraging clicks’ which is prohibited. If you do so, you may get more clicks for a bit, but you will quickly be caught and banned from having Adsense on your page. And once you are banned, you cannot get your account back into good standing.

Here is a free additional Google Adsense tip: If you haven’t read Google’s Adsense policies, I seriously suggest doing so.

6) Place images in optimal places on your site.
Ads that are higher on the site get clicked more often, which generates more income.

7) If you want to maintain optimal profit, do not put your ads on affiliate sites.
While well-known affiliate sites may get you more clicks than your own brand new site, you cannot depend on these sites to earn a maximum profit. It can be considered as a violation of the rules and regulations of Adsense. Moreover, each of the affiliate sites charges a percentage of your earnings to be able to post on their site. So, work on your own site, promote it to generate traffic, and be patient. Having ads on your own site will be better for you in the long-run.

8) Make sure to update your site on a regular basis.
If you create a site and leave it for a few months, you may find that your traffic has dropped significantly. Therefore, your amount of clicks and pay has dropped as well.
No one wants to visit a site that has grown stagnant and has old information, so get busy generating new information for your readers!

9) Create ads that best complement your site.
The optimal sizes for ads have been researched. They are the 336×280 large rectangle, the 300×250 medium rectangle, and the 160×600 wide skyscraper.
However, don’t simply use these sizes without integrating them into your site well. You want the overall flow of your site to be pleasing to your loyal visitors, so be sure to fit the ads in a way that is visually appealing.

10) Do not stress over the latest google algorithms, or trying to beat the system!
Google constantly updates their algorithms to cut out spammers, and this unfortunately messes up the generated income for some sites. However, there is no way to currently beat this system, so do not stress if your site sees a dramatic drop suddenly. Simply continue to work hard at improving your site and keeping up with the latest Google Adsense Tips. Hopefully, you will see improvement again in your traffic.

These are some tips that should help you a great deal when trying to maximize the profits from your ads. Overall, continue working to improve your websites and don’t stress! Everyone knows that Google owns the world in their own mysterious way, and trying to fight it will only end in multiple visits to a psychiatrist. So, be happy and enjoy Google’s business offering to the world!

Bing announced today a new “Pin to Pinterest” feature that allows users to pin Bing image search results directly to a Pinterest board. According to the Bing Search Blog, the company assembled a group of lifestyle and design bloggers last fall to evaluate their search and social media habits. Based on the results of the evaluation, Bing created the “Pin to Pinterest” feature to help the lifestyle and design community overcome common challenges when searching for original, high resolution images. Users can pin images directly from a Bing image search to a specified Pinterest board without having to install a bookmarklet. The images are automatically linked to the original source with the proper attribution included.

Twitter has quietly launched a user profile directory that it hopes will bring it more search engine traffic. It’s Twitter’s second SEO play in recent weeks, coming on the heels of a change in its robots.txt file. With that change, Twitter made its content-based search results — i.e., search results for tweets and hashtags, but not search results for users — crawlable.

With the new directory, Twitter is finishing that process by making its user profiles more discoverable by Google, Bing and other search engines. When asked why Twitter launched the user directory, a company spokesperson said it’s “to help people find the accounts they’re looking for with various search engines.” Is The Directory Helping Twitter’s Search Visibility? Twitter’s user directory has been online for a couple weeks. It’s essentially a master site map of Twitter accounts listed alphabetically and, from an SEO perspective, follows best practices by showing no more than 100 profile links per page. As I write this, a Google search for site:twitter.com/i/directory/profiles gives a superficial display of 718,000 matching results. If I click through to reach the end of the 1,000 results that Google will show, I can reach page 47 before getting the “we have omitted some entries very similar to the 469 already displayed” message. And if I click to include the omitted results, I hit the end at page 57. The 718,000 results isn’t right because Twitter’s directory doesn’t have that many pages. If you estimate that Twitter has about five million total accounts, the directory — with 100 accounts per page — would be about 50,000 pages, far less than 718,000. UPDATE: I incorrectly typed and used five million accounts in the paragraph above, when I should’ve used 500 million accounts. My apologies. Based on 500 million accounts, the Twitter directory would have as many as five million pages, which means Google’s count of 718,000 could be an accurate reflection of how many pages it knows about. But even if Google has only indexed about 57 pages (and those numbers aren’t perfectly reliable since I could be hitting a certain datacenter that has fewer results), it’s still a lot more than Bing. My searches show that Bing has so far only indexed the Twitter directory home page. I have to assume that Bing will eventually crawl much deeper into the directory; Bing has gone on record admitting that its bot is slow, and that’s certainly the case here. Of course, many Twitter profile pages have been crawled and indexed by Google and Bing for a long time now, so it’s difficult to say if the new directory is helping (or will help) the search engines find new, unindexed profiles. The Checkered Twitter/Google Search History What’s interesting is how Twitter’s recent search- and SEO-friendly moves fit into its checkered relationship with Google. Google and Twitter used to be on good terms. Google had access to the full “firehose” of tweets and was primarily using that to power its Google Realtime Search product. But that ended in July 2011, forcing Realtime Search offline. Google promised that it would resurrect Realtime Search, but that never happened. The end of that agreement meant Google no longer had access to the firehose — a special API feed of tweets — but Google was still able to do its regular crawl of Twitter profiles and content. Except there was one temporary problem: Around the same time, in the summer of 2011, Twitter wasn’t very SEO-friendly. As we reported, Twitter was having technical infrastructure problems that hindered Google’s ability to crawl and index its site. Whoops. In fact, Google says that it was cut entirely off from Twitter for a time. Here’s the head of Google’s search efforts Amit Singhal talking about the issue (at 1:35 in) earlier this year at our SMX London conference, as well as the challenge in crawling Twitter without a deal: Twitter eventually fixed those issues, but its relationship with Google has been strained ever since the end of the companies’ agreement. In January, Twitter came out firing when Google launched its Search Plus Your World product, accusing Google of favoring its own social content ahead of Twitter (and other social content). Google’s response then — and many times since — has been to mention how Twitter turned off the firehose and isn’t giving Google direct access to its content anymore. But Twitter engineers joined with peers at Facebook and MySpace to create a “Don’t Be Evil” tool that showed how easily Google could surface Twitter (and other social) content without firehose access. For more on that, see this recap of Danny Sullivan’s conversation with Google’s Eric Schmidt from January. So today, while the war of words between Google and Twitter has died down, we now see Twitter taking a much more proactive approach to search engines — first with the robots.txt change and now with the SEO-friendly user directory.

Ever wondered how much a website is worth?

Wonder no more, in this roundup you will find 11 tools that will help you estimate the dollar value of any site by just entering the site’s URL.

The methods of calculating the value of a website in general rely on a number of factors. Naturally, each of the tools uses its own calculation methods. Overall, those are some of the common factors used in the estimation/evaluation process:

• Google Page Rank
• Alexa Rank
• Compete Rank
• Quantcast Rank
• Backlinks
• Social mentions on sites such as Twitter
• Bookmarking on Delicious, Digg, StumbelUpon, Reddit etc…

A word of caution to web developers; don’t get excited and expect any of the big guys come knocking on your door offering to acquire your site based on the dollar value estimated by the listed tools. The figures are just estimations, and personally, I just consider them a fun way to cheer me up after a hard day of coding, at least I see that my work is worth something (dollar value I mean).

The list is sorted by estimated value of the tool; using the tool to estimate itself.
