No doubt, Facebook has vast network but now a days its being spam by spammers. We can see many spammed post in groups, pages and even on timelines. There are also rapid decline in Facebook users after the launch of whatsapp because people are being more and more mobile.

Event Blogging Myth and Truth

Event blogging is something that generate quick money in blogging. If you came to blogging only for money or you need good amount for investment then you should try event blogging.

Read: Truth and Tips for Making Money Online In 2015

What is Event Blog?


A blog which target a particular event day/days. Means, if you are writing a blog for upcoming festival or sports tournament, then that's called event blogging.

Event blog is short term blog in which blogger want to earn a lot of money during event period. You can earn good if you plan better for your event blog.

Most of bloggers think that event blogging is easy and its $$$$ machine. But you can not do anything without proper strategy. You should have action plan about whatever you need to do.

Coming to the topic, in last 15 days I have read many case study about event blogging. Successful event bloggers write their success stories but here I'm not going to write about my success because I couldn't do my best. 

But still I'll share my experience about my first event blog.

Focus: I got an opportunity to work on Makar Sankranti event blog which was well established with 1 year of domain age. I have written about 10-12 post and then I fed up with it because I'm working on many blogs and some are still pending to be start. 

Health: Not so good but still managing to update all the blogs. So you have to care about your health too.

Distraction: If you are working without a team then you need to be more focused towards your goal. Try to avoid things that take you away from your goal.

Discipline: There are no office or any fat boss because we work from home. But we have to be more disciplinedto reach our goal.

ROI: Return On Investment is something that we get after investment. Investment in not only terms of money but also your time. Time is the currency of 21st century. Save time instead of money. Forecast about how much you could get from a particular event. If that event could give handsome ROI then go for it.

But think in different way and choose best event to work on. My advice, don't go for Indian events, especially Indian festivals. Let me explain why you should not choose Indian event.

According to my makar sankranti blog experience, I won't ever do any Indian event. We ranked for many competitive keywords and got good amount of traffic.

event blogging


But, CTR was below 3% before 2 days of event.

Next morning, it was lohri (famous festival in Punjab). I tweaked placement and got CTR over 7%. You must be thinking that its awesome. Yes, I got good CTR but Indian CPC always poor.

On lohri day we got overall 390 clicks with CPC of 0.05. Next day, it was main event day and we again got high traffic with CTR over 8% but CPC was 0.07.

So how much we earned, at most 50$. Is it worth our time?

Many bloggers invest their at least 2-3 month but what about ROI?

Before doing any event, must think about ROI. You can not get huge with Indian traffic. Invest that time in your long term blog or any event of US/UK. We can also work on micro niche blog which will give better ROI.

I didn't invest much time in this time but its experience saved my at least 1 month because I was thinking to start a event blog on Holi. I have a good domain name and I'll give away if any one still want to do.

What I Have Learned From First Event Blog?


I would like to share what I have learned from my first event blog. Below are the few points which may help you to get success in your next event blog.

Domain Age: Domain age matters a lot. My partner purchased that domain 1 year before so we could rank easily for many competitive keywords.

Domain Name: EMD is preferable but if its not available the add a extra character at the end of exact domain name. Always choose TLD.

Backlinks: Quantity back links does not matter. We ranked with 5 back links and then build 6 mores. We ranked with only 11 links.

Raed: Simple Way To Build High PR Back links

Content: Write good content with proper On Page SEO. Initially, we were rankling with 6 posts and then I have written 10 more posts.

Renew your domain: You should renew your domain name for next year. You will get advantage of domain age. But you must be thinking about domain name. Let me explain by a example.

If we have a domain name call "happyholi2014.com", should we use it for 2015 holi event blog? Yes, you should.

2014 doesn't matter as you will have 2015 in your post URL if you post content after 31 December 2014.

Ad Unit: We had 70% mobile visitors so you should choose responsive ad. I used 300*250 text ad unit because this ad unit is supported by mobiles too. You can also choose 720*170 custom text ad above post title. Experiment the ad placement 2 days prior to the event. Choose whatever worked for your blog.

You must know something that I have missed here. Feel free to tell us in comment section.

How Effective Google AdWords campaign for Getting More Sell For Your Business

There is no better way to understand the effects of your website showing up on the first page of Google for a particular keyword than instantly getting it and seeing how many sales you make from it. This is essentially what you can do with a Google Adwords campaign. For a few hundred dollars, you can get your website to show up above the regular (organic) search results, in the shaded Sponsored Results area. While the sponsored results are less trusted by the average searcher than the organic results, there are definite advantages to spearheading an SEO effort with a brief Google Adwords campaign.

Sponsored Section in Google Search Result


Benefit of Running a Paid Campaign on Google


The most significant benefit of running a paid campaign on Google is that you can quickly learn which keywords produce the most sales for you. In the keyword selection process, this knowledge is invaluable. Not only can you try out the couple of keywords you think would bring the most benefits for your business, you can try out hundreds of keywords at once and not pay unless someone clicks on your ad. In doing so, you can might stumble upon the fact that the plural of your main keyword  performs much better than the singular; one of your three most obvious keywords outperforms the other two by a wide margin; or some random keyword you never would have thought of is a sleeper, producing numerous sales.


Understanding of Best Performing Keywords in Google Adwords Campaign

When you gain a better understanding of your best performing keywords, you can gradually wean yourself off the expensive Google AdWords system and focus on SEO (although there is nothing wrong with keeping a pay-per-click campaign running at the same time as doing SEO, as long as you are carefully watching the campaign to make sure you are making more money than you are spending.) Google AdWords can work very well for targeting lesser-searched keywords in your industry because of the rule that you pay only when someone clicks. There are many people that use paid search only for lesser-searched keywords and focus their entire SEO efforts on the three or four big keywords that bring in the most sales; this approach works well.

Simple Way To Get High PR Free Backlink

Are you looking for any simple way to get high PR backlinks for free of cost? Don't panic... In this post I'll share best way to get free and high PR backlinks for your blog.

Importance of Backlinks, let me correct it, importance of high PR backlinks are crucial SEO factor. Do you know how a blog/website rank on search engine? Lets take a example of a school boy who got new admission. Obviously he will not be known by many of teachers and other faculty. But think about a football team captain, everyone know about that guy. Similarly if a blog/website came out on web, it will not be discovered by search engines. I'll be explaining how search engines discover a blog/site on web.

Now a days when a person need any piece of information he/she first like to get information through search engines because that particular person might not be familiar with few good websites/blogs related to his/her query. 

Simple Way To Get High PR Free Backlink


Millions are people searching daily for different queries and its search engine's responsibility to provide best results. In past we may had bad experience with search engine results, I mean 3 years before for most of my queries I don't get relevant result. But now a days search engines are very strict for ranking a website/blog in their search result. 

Days were gone when webmaster rank their blog by keyword stuffing. Now in 2014 there are more than 200 factors which affect your blog/website ranking in search engines and one of them is backlinks.

Backlinks are two types. No follow and Do follow backlink. I always got confused about no-follow and do-follow backlinks during initial days but after a little research I got to know about them. Let me explain no-follow and do-follow backlinks.

No follow backlinks are such type of link which doesn't pass link juice and even search engines do not follow no-follow backlinks. A webmaster always hunt for do-follow backlinks because they get link juice. Many webmasters are looking for high PR do-follow backlinks in SEO marketplace like seoclerk.com. But that doesn't mean that no-follow backlinks are worthless. If we only build do-follow backlinks then Google update surely hit us. Google will treat it as spamming. So we need to maintain a ratio between no-follow and do-follow backlinks. 

Backlinks are nothing but votes for your blog/website. Search engines especially Google seeks for High PR backlinks and there are many ways to get backlinks. A common question about backlink building is "how much backlinks should I create to rank my blog higher in search result". My answer is simply straight "Quantity doesn't matters at all. Google bots doesn't seek for how much links pointing to your blog. Google loves quality backlinks, not quantity. 100 low quality backlinks are equal to 1 High PR quality backlink. But getting high PR backlink from authority sites is not easy.

How to get high PR quality backlinks from a authority site


You should approach them via contact form.

Get details about site with the help of whois.net.

Write a e-mail to webmaster and ask them for a backlink.

Note-- Most of webmaster sell backlinks on their High PR sites. Although it is against Google rules but you may buy few High PR links. You can also find different gigs related to backlinks on seoclerk.com. Don't buy a backlink from a site which looks spammy.

Google Adsense PIN Mail Issue (SOLVED)

Hey I’m Google Adsense publisher for last 3 months and like every publisher I also like to make good money from my blog. When I earned 10 $ from adsense I got a red notice on top of my adsense account saying that I have to apply for PIN (Personal Identification Number) to verify my address. I had applied for my first PIN and waited for 4 weeks but I couldn't get it. I was worried but I felt some relax when I came to know that I can apply 2 more times (You can apply 3 times for your adsense PIN to verify your address).
Again I did the same, applied and waited 4 weeks but no luck. L I was stressed. I had feared that I would lose all my earning and my hard work will be worthless. Mean while, applied for 3rd PIN and searching for anything that help me about getting my adsense PIN or any way to get my adsense address approved.



WHERE CAN I GET HELP ABOUT ADSENSE PIN VERIFICATION ISSUE


Thanks to Google, who provide groups where we can disscuss all our problems and Google’s employ respond to the questions. In such a group I read that publisher  can contact Google Adsense Team after applied for 3rd PIN mail. Now question is how to contact adsense team to get your address verified?

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I DON’T GET MY PIN MAIL EVEN IN 3rd ATTEMPT


When I applied for 3rd PIN there was a short notice below that says “ If you couldn’t get you PIN within 4 weeks, contact us through this form.” It is not exactly what notice says but it’ll be similar to this.

HOW TO CONTACT WITH GOOGLE ADSENSE TEAM


Apply for 3rd PIN mail and wait for 4 weeks. After that click on form link which will be below PIN insertion option. You have to enter your payee name, e-mail address, adsense publisher id and upload a scanned government issued ID like Voter ID, Passport, Bank statement, Driving license but ID must have clear and same matching name and address with your adsense account information. After filling these details, click on submit. That’s all, now grab a cup of coffee and you’ll get a mail from adsense team saying that you no longer need of PIN. It can take up to take 48 hours to get respond.

I DIDN’T GET ANY MAIL WITHIN 48 HOURS WHAT TO DO


If you didn’t get any respond from adsense team within 48 hours, go to google forum and post your issue. User of adsense forum will flag it for you, then google adsense employ will respond and they will make your address verified.

That’s all for now, Happy earning.
