Ideas for you webmasters , everything you wanted to know.

Its been almost 2 weeks since i uploaded my video on youtube. I wanted to see how many views i would get. So here are the stats.

253 views , could be better. Considering i dont have any youtube advertising , i only posted a few comments here and there it cant be too bad. Plus its only my frist video. I’m going to make this a project i will talk about for any of you interested in being a youtuber (person who makes videos for yotube).

Where to start

Make a youtube account of course! Come up with a good name. For example i choose guruwebideas , same name as my blog/site. After you made account start making videos , if you dont have any videos become an active commentor. Comments help generate respect and channel hits.

          

Site owners can earn money from their site by putting advertisements on their website.

There are a few different publisher programs out there and different styles of advertising. First off unless you have thousands of hits on your site i would not recommend putting ads on your site because you will never make enough to reach min payout. I know this from experience , dont waste your time. I know you want to try it , but really work on getting more traffic before you put ads. If anything you should be buying ads not publishing them.

Publisher programs

The most popular program is owned by google , called google adsense. Adsense is popular because of the many advertising and publisher features , plus the vast amount of advertisers. Other popular programs include clicksor and bidvertiser . Most programs you will have to have a certain amount of traffic before they will even consider you to use their program. Others dont have min. requirements but they will check your site for content.

Types of advertising

Banners- You can place banners on your site and get paid in different ways. You can get paid per click , every time someone clicks on the banner you will get paid a certain amount that the advertisers is willing to pay. The amount is also determined by the programs depending on the popularity of the keyword. Some programs offer CPM , which is for every 1000 impressions you will get paid a certain amount.

Text ads- Text ads are just like the banners , except they are no images , just text. They are not as popular and sometimes are harder to notice than banners. You get paid per click on text ads.

Search- I know adsense has this option where you can put a search bar on your site. Every time someone searches on google with the bar you will earn a certain amount.

Affiliate- Affiliate works a little different than those other methods. Instead you can place text ads , banners or links of a product and if someone buys the product that came from your link/site you will earn a referral % of the sale. Many big shopping sites have their own affiliate programs you can join. There are also big programs like clickbank that you can promote thousands of different products.

These are the majors publishing/advertising methods. The more traffic you have the more money you are going to earn. Its all about getting quality traffic to earn off ads. If you only have a couple hundred hits a day i wouldnt recommend you advertise products on your site , because it wont be worth it. If you have thousands of hits daily then this is a great way to make extra bucks from your site. Another thing i want to mention , dont over advertise. If your site is filled with advertisements it doesnt make your site look good. Keep it minimal by putting them in places they can be noticed. For example in the middle of an article or at the top.

This should get you started , if you have any questions comment.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hope everyone is having a good christmas , or time off.

I did buy a phone from chinavasion , the odyessy. I have figured out almost everything on it now. I did have some problems with the wifi. But after contacting the seller i got excellent support on how to fix the problem. Thanks chinavasion!

I will be writing a full review with video possible about the product. Overall i can say right now it is a good product. Iphone does have a better touch screen. But with the iphone any apps you want you have to pay for because you have to go through itunes. Unless they say they are free.  Plus iphone is much more expensive , around 400$Cad. You can get an ipod touch same thing without phone for 200$Cad. The odyessy phone cost me 150$ Cad with shipping.

          

I’m going to try and post something every other day to keep the blog updated. I dont know if anyone actually reads these posts or not , but i’ll see what happens.

How to track traffic on your blog?

It’s important to see whos visiting your site. You might not think that but it is IMPORTANT. First off , you can find out how many hits (visitors) you get a day to your site. Then you can find out where they come from. If they live in India , or they found your site searching google. Even if you wanted to know what browser they where using. All this information can be found out.

Tracking software

Depending on which host your using there may already be software installed. If your using cpanel , awstats should be installed. You can find in under the list of programs at your cpanel. Some hosts may not have it with cpanel , there are a few other stats programs. Just take a look around and you should find something.

Even if you do have these programs , i do recommend you use google analystics. Google has a traffic statics program for webmasters , that give more detailed information. Plus there are more features than awstats for example. The only downside is you have to include a html code in your pages for it to track your traffic. If your using wordpress this can easily be done with a simple plugin. There are plugins for google analystics , just search them in your dashboard.

http://www.google.com/analytics/

I have used google analytics for other websites , i found it does display acturate information. Just today i installed in our guruweb , and will be tracking you!

Next post i will show some more about the program.
