Now that your site has been listed in Google you may want to improve your sites rank.
These suggestions can easily apply to other search engines (Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, ASK ect.) as these are basic
Quality Unique Content
The most important thing you can do is provide a reason for people to visit and return to your site (and even beter link to your site from their site!). To have this happen naturally it’s very important you provide unique quality content on your pages. I could never stress how important this is. If you don’t stand out and get noticed then you will get no where. When you are building your pages build them for your visitors with information rich content that you write out in text. It’s best to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links ect. The more you give a complete discription of your page content, giving special attention to including the information you would use to search and find this information, the easier it will be for someone to find your website.
Natural Links
There is nothing more valuable to you than someone linking to your site with out any promting from you. Natural links show someone found your content valuable and useful enough to link to it so others can do the same. This ads value to your site in Google eyes and will improve your rank. Google can tell the differance between Natural and Unatural link (Paid links, link schemes, doorway pages ect) which are not acceptable practices and will actually take away forom your rank. Also, if the links are sites with the same or similiar topic asr your site gives it a little more weight in your favor. :o)
Your Domains Front Page
Use your front page to your advantage. Usually this page is the highest rank page, visited more often by the crawlers, as well as the most link to by others. You need to provide as much information about your site as possible on this page. Make sure to be honest and clear. Make it easier for your visitors to get to popular pages for this front page by providing an organized clear menu to your sites sub pages
Use your TITLE and ALT tags
Make sure that your TITLE tags and ALT attributes are complete, descriptive and accurate. The Title tag should be used at all times. It is so important. Use this title to attract visitors. The Google crawler doesn’t recognize text contained in images so using ALT tags will help the bot know what your image is. Images hold a bit of value themselves if acurately ranked
Search Engine Optimization
Don’t feel you have to hire someone to improve your rakings you can do this yourself with some simple tecniques. If you do hire someone be warned there are some techiques that are used by some SEO consultants that Google may not approve and of coarse NO company or individual can garantee you a #1 ranking and any one who does is trying to scam you. It’s worth the time either wat to do a little research and see what oyu can do to step by step to making your page more search engine friendly

I just found this new way to increase traffic blogs and the best part is its free! It’s called Blog Rush. And its a bit like a banner exchange program where you collect “credits” for showing the Blog Rush code as well as for clicks/visitors you send. The banner for Blog Rush contains links to blogs with topics similiar to yours. You can see an example down and to the right. I think this is a fantastic idea to be able to reach readers of other blogs like yours! They are saying that they are having a good amount of growth already & I just signed up so lets see how it goes.

The newest craze for making money online is Blogging. Blogging is creating a way for many people to make a very decent income. Blogging for those who don’t know is for the most part a website with the owner of the site being a journalist on their topic of choice. This site is an example of my new blogging attempt. I am not really a blogger but I do however love to share what I learn. Blogging is a simple way for anyone to have a website.
Blogspot.com is a popular place for beginners to start a blog with little or no HTML knowledge. But to be honest with you I think for the long term you would be better off having your own domain right from the start. I feel that there are so many benifits to having your own domain that they outweigh any small quick income you get from a controled by someone else free blog.

With Chitika eMiniMalls starting to be a high focus of webmasters who want to generate more revenue from affiliate and Pay Per Click (PPC) programs along side with Adsense. Many publishers search for “Adsense high paying ad keywords”, so you can be sure the next hot topic will be “What are the Highest Paying Keywords for Chitika eMiniMalls?”
I have only recently implemented Chitika eMiniMalls and have started a little experimenting. Traking is not yet very easily done with out the abilitiy to track “channels” or pages/ads but I do know there will be channel tracking implimented soon. When that is impemented we will certainly be able to do more accurate research and have more detailed results.
My overal findings is that initially CTR is low with Chitika eMiniMalls but a good PPC. But as time is going by and I work with them more I am finding not aiming for those I feel are “High Paying keywords” but instead finding very site topic relevant items, and including as many detailed keywords strings as I can. So far I have noticed as result a large increase in CTR as well as keep a handsome PPC so far(need more time).
Here is the List of Keywords that may have high PPC when using them in your array code of Chitika eMiniMalls to get maximum results. I am sure these keywords will pay well for a while but if diluted may pay less in the future. Keep in mind keywords that are not relavant to your site and it’s visitors it will not convert very well. It is in your best intrest to find products that are similiar to your sites topic or theme so your users are interested in these items.
High Paying Keword Arrays:
Computers, Laptops, WorkStation, Desktops, Servers, Processors, Memory Sticks, Mobile Phone, DVD Systems, Televisions, Sound Systems, Plasma TV, Projection Tv,
Even keywords that are a little more defined to your users:
blackberry, canon pixma, canon powershot, canon eos, communicator, exilim, gps, hdtv, ipod mini, ipod nano, ipod photo, ipod shuffle, lcd, lcd tv, motorola razr, nintendo, nokia n90, pda phone, plasma, pocket pc, portable, sony t7, sony w800, tablet pc, toshiba, treo, tri-band, vaio, videophone
In Short Ads with the keywords related to higher priced High Tech gadgets are going to pay higher. Pretty basic. We love our electronics. 
I suspect that the default Keywords will pay the least per click on average.
If these are keywors you use I really suggest fine tuning them to fit your site visitors for higher CTR. Examples to target your array keywords to specific models/types/colors ect like:
Nokia 6600, Sony Ericsson, W800i, Dell Laptop, Xeon Server, View Sonic LCD
The list will go on there are a lot of products in the market related to Technology. You can get more of an idea of some topics that may convert better with your site at Chitika’s Catalog
The above results with ads are totally my experience it might vary from website to website. Find out for yourself and Sign Up with Chitika Yoday!
