The #1 Biggest Mistake That People Make With Adsense
By Joel Comm
It's very easy to make a lot of money with AdSense. I know it's easy because in a short space of time, I've managed to turn the sort of AdSense revenues that wouldn't keep me in candy into the kind of income that pays the mortgage on a large suburban house, makes the payments on a family car and does a whole lot more besides.

But that doesn't mean there aren't any number of mistakes that you can make when trying to increase your AdSense income - and any one of those mistakes can keep you earning candy money instead of earning the sort of cash that can pay for your home.

There is one mistake though that will totally destroy your chances of earning a decent AdSense income before you've even started.

That mistake is making your ad look like an ad.

No one wants to click on an ad. Your users don't come to your site looking for advertisements. They come looking for content and their first instinct is to ignore everything else. And they've grown better and better at doing just that. Today's Internet users know exactly what a banner ad looks like. They know what it means, where to expect it - and they know exactly how to ignore it. In fact most Internet users don't even see the banners at the top of the Web pages they're reading or the skyscrapers running up the side.

But when you first open an AdSense account, the format and layout of the ads you receive will have been designed to look just like ads. That's the default setting for AdSense - and that's the setting that you have to work hard to change.

That's where AdSense gets interesting. There are dozens of different strategies that smart AdSense account holders can use to stop their ads looking like ads - and make them look attractive to users. They include choosing the right formats for your ad, placing them in the most effective spots on the page, putting together the best combination of ad units, enhancing your site with the best keywords, selecting the most ideal colors for the font and the background, and a whole lot more besides.

The biggest AdSense mistake you can make is leaving your AdSense units looking like ads.

The second biggest mistake you can make is to not know the best strategies to change them.

Site Map and Biositemap

Easy to know about site map just for you to make better ...

A site map (or sitemap) is a representation of the architecture of a web site. It can be either a document in any form used as a planning tool for web design, or a web page that lists the pages on a web site, typically organized in hierarchical fashion. This helps visitors and search engine bots find pages on the site.

While some developers argue that site index is a more appropriately used term to relay page function, web visitors are used to seeing each term and generally associate both as one and the same. However, a site index is often used to mean an A-Z index that provides access to particular content, while a site map provides a general top-down view of the overall site contents.


Benefits of sitemaps

Site maps can improve search engine optimization of a site by making sure that all the pages can be found. This is especially important if a site uses Adobe Flash or JavaScript menus that do not include HTML links.

Most search engines will only follow a finite number of links from a page, so if a site is very large, the site map may be required so that search engines and visitors can access all content on the site.

[edit] XML sitemaps

Google introduced Google Sitemaps so web developers can publish lists of links from across their sites. The basic premise is that some sites have a large number of dynamic pages that are only available through the use of forms and user entries. The sitemap files can then be used to indicate to a web crawler how such pages can be found.
Google, MSN, Yahoo and Ask now jointly support the Sitemaps protocol.

Since MSN, Yahoo, Ask, and Google use the same protocol, having a sitemap lets the four biggest search engines have the updated page information. Sitemaps do not guarantee all links will be crawled, and being crawled does not guarantee indexing. However, a sitemap is still the best insurance for getting a search engine to learn about your entire site.

XML sitemaps have replaced the older method of "submitting to search engines" by filling out a form on the search engine's submission page. Now web developers submit a sitemap directly, or wait for search engines to find it.

Biositemap

The Biositemaps Protocol allows scientists, engineers, centers and institutions engaged in modeling, software tool development and analysis of biomedical and informatics data to broadcast and disseminate to the world the information about their latest computational biology resources (data, software tools and web-services). The biositemap concept is based on ideas from and Crawler-friendly Web Servers, and it integrates the features of Sitemaps and RSS feeds into a decentralized mechanism for announcing and communicating updates to existent and introduction of new biomedical data and computing resources. These site, institution or investigator specific biositemap descriptions are posted in XML format online and are searched, parsed, monitored and interpreted by web search engines, human and machine interfaces, custom-design web crawlers and other outlets interested in discovering updated or novel resources for bioinformatics and biomedical research investigations. The biositemap mechanism separates the providers of biomedical resources (investigators or institutions) from the consumers of resource content (researchers, clinicians, news media, funding agencies, educational and research initiatives).

A Biositemap is an XML file that lists the biomedical and bioinformatics resources for a specific research group or consortium. It allows developers of biomedical resources to completely describe the functionality and usability and of each of their software tools, databases or web-services.



* when providers and consumers of bioinformatics and biomedical computing resources need to communicate in a scalable, efficient, agile and decentralized fashion. In these cases, a human (graphical) or a machine (computer) interface connects the descriptions of resources and facilities the search, comparison and utilization of most relevant resources for specific scientific studies. This infrastructure enables effective and timely matching of services and needs among biomedical investigators and the public in general.
* where meta-resources, computational or digital libraries need to update their contents to reflect the current states of newly developed biomedical materials and resources using AJAX, JSON or WSDL protocols.

Biositemaps supplement and do not replace the existing frameworks for dissemination of data, tools and services. By broadcasting a relevant and up-to-date Biositemap file on the web, investigators and institutions are only helping different engine's crawlers, machine interfaces and users dynamically acquire, interpret, process and utilize the most accurate information about the state of the resources disseminated by the developing group. Using this biositemap protocol does not guarantee that your resources will be included in search indexes nor does it influence the way that your tools are ranked or perceived by the community.
