How to Make your own Blog Network

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

After the Panda and Penguin updates by Google, having high quality tier 1 links is more important than ever. Many IM’ers are turning to hand made and high quality web 2.0's for their tier 1 links. Basically, giving Google what it expects to see from a natural backlink profile, but in a unnatural way.

In this article, we will talk about how to create a safe and effective blog network that you can use for your first tier of backlinks to your money site.

Hand make them

The main thing you will want to do is make them look natural. Make them by hand, add some personality to each one, change the background etc… Mimic what a natural blog would look like.

Do not interlink them

This is how blog networks go down. If Google spots one of these sites and sees all of the other blogs which it links to, Google can devalue or de-index your entire network at once. Don’t interlink each web 2.0 so this does not happen to you.

No footprints

Do not leave any way for someone to trace one blog to another. Use different names, different domains, different emails, different everything. If you have as little as one common word or phrase on each blog, that information can be used to uncover your network.

Don’t tell or sell to anyone

Keep this network to yourself. If you sell it to anyone, you run the risk of your network being discovered.

Linking to your site

Of course, send backlinks to your site(s), that is the entire point of this network. When you do, though, keep the links to under 30%. Vary the anchor text and links to your home page and inner pages as well. This keeps everything natural.

Add link-less posts

Not every post will have a link on a normal blog. Mimic this for your blogs as well. Add some well spun content to your blogs and leave them link-less. Google won’t suspect a thing.

Link to others within your niche

Link to other sites so it looks natural but don’t link to your competitors. Normally, it is a good idea to link to authority sites that you are not planning to out rank within your niche. If my niche is “1980's Chicago WhiteSox players”, it is fine to link out to the authority sites ESPN.com and MLB.com.

Add stupid posts

Any blogger is going to have worthless posts from time to time. Add a 50 word “be back in a week post” or go off topic once in a while. Again, for the sake of creating a natural looking blog.

5 articles and then 1 per month

To begin, add 5 well written posts with 2-3 pointing to your site. After the first month, add at least 1 per 30 days so Google knows the blog is still active. This will help with the authority of each blog down the road.

Build backlinks

Build good links to these web 2.0 sites. Since you will be doing all of this manually, you will not be able to count on a volume of backlinks. We are aiming for quality, not quantity. So treat your tier 1 blogs with care. Make a strong linking structure that backs them up and raises their PR. You can even go as far as to make new web 2.0's to backlink them (don’t forget, no interlinking). Since we are on tier 2 now, it is okay to use well spun and readable articles on these 2nd tier properties.

There you have it. The main points are to build them manually, leave no footprints, use quality content and build good backlinks to them.

Either way you should be able to find them all without any help. While I was playing I noticed all of them pretty much on the path to beating the game. Some will be available earlier if you search though.

Possession, story related.
Devil’s Kiss, which will be found right after killing the first heavy hitter you come across.
Murder of Crows, get this after you fight the hooded people in the chapel it's in the Fraternal Order of the Raven.
Bucking Bronco, this will be on the way to the Hall of Heroes, go into the ticket booth and it's yours.
Shock Jockey, story related.
Charge, after leaving the police impound you can find this in a office behind a locked door.
Undertow, Fink's office.
Return to Sender I found this on lying around in a pile towards the end of the game. Gamefront will tell you "After leaving the Port and entering a new interior area, you’ll soon come across a locked door leading into the Salty Oyster Bar. To get this final Vigor, you’ll need to hit the secret button. This button will only appear after opening the lock into Founder’s Books, found near the exit to the area. Inside, listen to the Voxophone revealing the secret button, then backtrack to press it. The Vigor is on a table inside."

After you get one use it on the next enemy so you know you it's added to the progress. Enjoy!

What is animoto?

Animoto video template site. Basically, you can choose one of their video templates, adding pictures and videos and text and produce pretty good looking video.

To get started, go to Animoto.com and create an account. Don't worry, it's completely free. I'm going to follow along with you and create contracting and basement remodeling video of our friend placebo, Frank Murray. Mr. Murray looking glamorous way to show his work and we have just the thing for him.

With a free membership, you will have access to all templates except Pro which exclusive (not many). You will be able to switch you later so don't worry too much. A look at a few previews and pick one that you like.  For example, I am going to use a simple.

Click the "make a video 30 seconds for free", and will hit the video-editing interface. Grab a few photos. You can either grab some from Google images or upload your own. We should be able to fit around 8-10 photos in total.

Upload your pictures, and start playing around with the interface. See what looks nice and what doesn't. You can also add text to photos or slides of your full-text. To the right, you can see at my final edit.

After that, you will need to add some music. You can upload your own or choose from a very limited in animoto. I chose "I want you" by John garrison.

* Note: music made in animoto is safe to use with their videos

Add music, rearrange images and add any text you are about to end. Click "Preview", and add a title/product. When you are happy with the final product, click the "products".

Take a look at the new video fancy Frank!

Though there already are 6 guides for this achievement, I still wanted to tell you the way I did it, which I found the easiest and earliest possible in the game. I did it on my 2nd playtrough on 1999 mode so really, you should have no trouble getting it this way.

Just after you get your magnetic shield, you enter the bar/church or whatever it is, the place with all the crows. The first room has a staircase in the middle, and on the left and right are 2 big rooms with on the left a bar and on the right tables with lots of fruit. It's impossible to miss.

After you clear this room you go up the stairs, and immediatly up ahead you see the "church"-room where the Crow is standing, speaking to the pilgrims (I think they are pilgrims but that doesn't matter), they're standing there with 5 of them right next to eachother and 1 extra on each side. If you just enter that room, don't jump down, just stand there from up top and cast a Devils Kiss (fire spell) trap right in between the 5. You should get 7 kills with it with no problem :) Then press start and reload last checkpoint, and do this 4 more times

I only had to do this 3 times because when I got those 7 kills, it counted as 2/5 in 1 trap and the 2nd trap counted as 4/5. Maybe cause the description says 3 enemies but you kill more than the double (7) so it counts as 2? It did for me, this is the quickest and easiest way to get it I think. Good luck!

Also, if you don't have the salts to cast Devils Kiss, as you see them standing from up top, take a left and look to the right, you'll see a trunk with a bottle of salts :)

How To Write For AdSense – Viewer Retention

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

How do I construct an AdSense page? How do I write the article? How do I place the ads? How do I increase my AdSense earnings?!?!

Well, there is a lot to it. More than what I can cover in a single post but fear not, we will cover all of it in time.

When you are writing or requesting content with the idea of monetizing it with AdSense, there are a few tricks that you should do in order to improve your earnings. In this article, we will go over some of those tricks. We are going to focus on the article itself and not the placement, type or size of the ads. Don’t get me wrong, that is very important as well, but we don’t want to overlook how to structure the content.

First, we will talk about viewer retention (visitor retention/reader retention ect…).

You should want the readers to remain somewhat engaged in your content. You don’t want to answer all of their questions, otherwise they will not have any reason to click on the ads, but you don’t want them to take one look and leave either.

There are a few things you can do to grab the readers attention, at least for a few seconds, and that is the goal. If the content is poor, if it is structured poorly or the site looks crappy, they will be gone in a second. There is just too much information on the internet for them to waste their time on an uninspiring site.

Small Paragraphs

First, you should to split your article into small paragraphs. 2-4 sentences is perfect. I did this throughout this article to show you. You don’t have to have 15 subheadings in your article, you can simply split larger paragraphs into several smaller ones. This makes the content very easy to read and digest.

The reader is more likely to read a 3 sentience paragraph over a full page block of text or a 12 sentience paragraph. If they see a large block of text, they are more likely to loose interest and leave. Once they read that small 3 sentience portion of the article, they will be more likely to read the rest. This keeps them on your page longer and increases the chance that they click on an ad. =More Money!

And don’t forget the line breaks!
This is not good
>
But this is

H# Tags
You will also want to grab their attention as quickly as you can. Make the title big. Make the headings stand out. Keep them focused and to the point. You can even use different font colors if it works (Beware: This could come off as tacky). Don’t give the reader a chance to leave the page without them knowing the title and sub topics of the article.

Images
Use images to make your page more attractive. Insert relevant but interesting images that will encourage the visitor to give it a second look. It is also be a good idea to place the images close by to your sub headers. Within a half second, the reader should notice images and headings that intrigue.

Video
Many people prefer watching videos over reading content. The video doesn’t have to explain the entire article, but just it’s presence can get them to stay and have an impact on you earnings.

“This page sucks! Too many words!”…”Wait, let’s see what this video is before I do”…”This video sucks too! arg!”

The video can suck, it just has to be there. Even though our angry reader left angry, the video still got him to stay on our page 10, 20, 30 seconds longer. That is a win for us. Again, the longer they stay, the more clicks are made.

You may also want to consider setting the video to auto play. I wouldn’t recommend that across the board since auto play videos can get quite annoying, but you can experiment with it on and off. sometimes it works well, other times it doesn’t.

Length of the Article
Keep the article around 400-600 words. Long enough so that you can get across some relevant information and have enough space for your AdSense and AdSense manipulation (a future article), but not too long. Any longer and it will turn the reader off in the same way giant blocks of text do.

If you have 1,000+ words to deal with, I would suggest that you write a second introduction/conclusion and break it up into two 600 word articles. If you can help it though, keep your articles compact (a little shorter than this one).

That is how you write an AdSense article. There are other factors to keep in mind like verbiage and placement, which you can look forward to learning about in the near future.
