Rotating Google AdSense with Related Links?

Rotating Google AdSense with Related Links?: "Source: searchenginejournal.com

A recent post on the Inside AdSense blog suggests running the Google Related Links publisher tool on your site and rotating it with Google AdSense. The basic theory behind the suggestion is that regular users of a site will naturally become attracted to the relevant video, news, and search content served via Google Related Links, and that by sometimes rotating in AdSense, one may benefit monetarily from that same space.

Shannon Bauman, Product Manager for Google Related Links, posts on Inside AdSense that “While Google Related Links don’t give you revenue directly, you can use them to keep your site fresh and interesting without any maintenance. Happy visitors mean repeat visits. And if you’re feeling especially creative, try alternating between Google ads and Google Related Links in a given space on your page. This will encourage people to look in that space for interesting dynamic content.”

7 Components of a Well-Rounded SEO Program

7 Components of a Well-Rounded SEO Program: "Source: isedb.com

How can you ensure the viability of your SEO program well into the future? How can you reduce the impact of search engine algorithm changes and enjoy long-term visibility and ranking?

The answer to both questions involves having a well-rounded SEO program.

Website owners who put too much emphasis on a single element of SEO are more vulnerable to changes in search engine algorithms. If you look at the history of search engine optimization, you'll see a pattern of this:

Back in the day, a lot of webmasters relied heavily on keyword tags to drive their visibility and ranking. But the search engines demoted the importance of the keyword tag, and many websites suffered as a result.

Link exchange networks are a more recent version of this scenario. Search engines are now devaluing links that are part of link farms and obvious reciprocation schemes. And once again, some websites are suffering from it.

But how is it that some websites coast right along, largely unaffected by search engine updates? What's the differenc"

Google AdSense Adds Small Square Ad Size

Google AdSense Adds Small Square Ad Size: "By: Loren Baker | Source: searchenginejournal.com

Google AdSense has come out with a new sized ad unit, the 200 x 200 “Small Square.” The new Google AdSense ad size can run both text and image ads and may be large enough for some multimedia advertising. So new, in fact, that AdSense hasn't announced it yet, and it hasn't yet made it into their ad format page yet.

The 200×200 ad unit is called ‘Small Square’ and is available in both text and image ads, so it is very likely that they could also be utilizing them for videos as well.

You will find it in your AdSense control panel in the drop down menu when selecting your ad unit size for a new ad.

Secrets to Beating the Sandbox 2.0 REVEALED: The Ultimate Guide

Secrets to Beating the Sandbox 2.0 REVEALED: The Ultimate Guide: "By Andy 'Organic-Is-My-Middle-Name' Hagans

The sandbox is no longer the pink elephant in the room. As webmasters, together we've cried about it, argued about it, and fretted over it. We've gone through the emotional steps, too; first there was grief (waah waah my site won't rank), then bargaining (I promise I won't spam if you un-sandbox me), anger (darn it, greedy Google just wants me to spend more at AdWords!), and finally, acceptance (OK, how do I beat it?).

Over a year ago, I wrote my Guide to Beating the Sandbox at WebmasterWorld (supporters forum). I think my post mostly stands the test of time, but there's a lot more that we know now, so I figured it's time for an update. I'm also going to try to make this guide as detailed as possible, because it seems the solution everyone (including me) constantly refers to is to build trust—without saying exactly how. So let's get short on theory, and long on details.

What is the sandbox? Does it really exist?"
