Gnome’s Place

 As you may know, Tun Dr Mahathir’s blog, www.chedet.com has received over 1,000,000 hits after a month of the blog’s release. I personally think that it’s a internet record,for sure. My blog,www.gnomefan.net is 2 months old and only received 2000+ hits. LOL.

Then, I found the main secret recipe to receive such traffic to my blog. Hehe. And i’m going to share with you the secret la ok! haha.

1. Become a Prime Minister.

2.Run the country well for approximately 22 years

3. Stop being a Prime Minister after 22 years and say what you want to say to the public without fear.(and ALMOST everything Tun says is TRUE).

4. Flame the government for being stupid.

5. Open a blog. (which will get free advertise from local media) ( continue to flame the government)

6. Say EVERYTHING you want to say in your blog without mercy and fear. And if what you say gets played on prime time news, surely another 10k hits over night. LOL

**This ’secret’ is not practical. But, go on if you’re so desperate for blog traffic. Sure a difficult way to receive a million of visitor per month eh?? :P**

–This Post Is Made JUST FOR FUN.. please don’t sue me –

 As the old saying goes,"Sex Sells".Well, don’t know who said it, but it IS true. Need proof?? Walk to your nearest mall or even drive around, look at the billboards and ads, see what i mean? ALMOST all of them are displaying sexy pictures of women and men that is surely will attract people to look at it (I know I DO :P).

Anyways, SEX in my post here is not those related to the physical type la. Sorry to disappoint you ya! It’s a simple steps or measures to be taken to increase your blog traffic and readership. Let’s dig in!

Simple. Make sure that the design of your blog is simple. Not too crowded

with texts,graphics and such. Make your post the most attractive thing on the page. So that people won’t waste time searching for it. I’ve been to a couple of blogs that are too cluttered that i can’t figure out which is the main content and ads. LOL. For a good example of a simple website is, Uncle Google!

Elegant. Make sure the way you write is elegant. Write your post in an

  interesting way so that your reader will be ’sucked’ into YOUR world that you created through your post. Make sure your blogger is excited to read what’s next that came from you. This one is not easy to achieve but, write it your way. I’m sure people will like your different kind of writing and become a regular visitor to your blog.

Xchange links. Ex(X)changing links will surely bring alot more traffic to your blog.

It’s a free ad for your blog. For a more dramatic result, make sure the blog that you want to exchange links with are with the same niche as your blog. No point of putting your technology website on a horse breeding website. Sure you will get some traffic but not as much if you exchange links with a site that is related to your content.

I also practice these things that i’m saying to you here,which is SEX. Heh. REMEMBER! Not the physical kind :P

Even though i haven’t reached $10 on my Google Adsense account, but i read a few sites and they really give good advise on how to boost your Google Adsense earnings. I’m still trying some of these tips to gain more from my Google ads.

Here are 5 steps that you could do to increase your earnings;

1. Most of the people that use Google Adsense said that the Large Rectangle (336×280) are the type of ad that bring most revenue. Most of them said that once they change to this type of ad, a significant increase of their CTR happen. The cause of this to happen? The links provided in it is just like a normal link.

2. Make use of the Google Adsense’s color palette. Design your ad so that it doesn’t look like an ad. Design it so that it blends together with your blog/site’s contents. (please refer to my google ad below).

3. Don’t ‘hide’ your ad. What’s the use if you join the ad program and not show them to your visitor? It won’t bring any clicks and the cause of that, NO MONEY! Well, i don’t mean hide your ads as in putting it in invisible mode,but merely ‘misplacing’ your ad. Make sure you put your ad where people can see them and you’ll see an increase in your earnings.

4. Focus on a specific target or topic when you’re posting. This is so that the ads mechanism can read what the main content of your post and find related links/advertisers according to your post.

5. Relevant ads. This is directly connected to the 4th point. You have to make sure that the ad that is displayed is similar to what you are posting. If you post about programming but your ads display guitars. What’s the use?? Right??

Well, I’m trying very hard to generate atleast some income from Adsense. Hope it happens!!

I am amazed at how much traffic that were generated to my site because of the post prior to this and i think that the people are constantly on the look out for tips and tricks, therefore i think i will post tips and tricks that i know and found out in between my regular posts.

Okay, now that’s out of the way, let’s get into business. May maybe a month that is stressful for college and university students since it’s final examination month. Yikes. I’m currently facing my final exams too and i know what kind of pressure and stress that is burdening our mind.

The good thing about stress is that it keeps us motivated and we’ll be on our best game to conquer our objective,but, it also has it negative side. Long-term and prolonged stress will cause the cardiovascular and the immune system to undergo negative changes and wear out the body’s reserve. This negative stress could, over time, take a toll on your health.

Well, i searched on the internet on how to fight stress and here I done a quick summary for you guys so that you guys don’t have to read the whole thing, just the main points

HOW TO FIGHT STRESS

1. STOP. Stop and take two or three minutes to close your eyes, take several deep breaths, and allow the situation to melt from your mind. Allow yourself a chance to think, calmly and peacefully.

2. MOVE. You don’t even need to exercise to relive stress, even though exercising would help decreasing stress. Start moving, walk around, jogging or just a brisk walk somewhere peaceful. Walk along a road that has green sceneries, clean air or even just walk around a place that doesn’t have so much people. This will surely take your mind off of your problems.

3.SLEEP. 8 hours of sleep is the average amount of sleep time for people. A good night sleep is when the body can fully repair itself and prepare you for tomorrow’s challenges.

4. DIET. A balanced and healthy diet can help to decrease the amount of stress that you are facing. Eat foods that contain high vitamins so that your body can increase it’s power to fight bad energy a.k.a stress. Don’t eat a heavy meal too close to bedtime, as it may interfere with your sleep.

5. WHAT YOU LOVE??. Do things that you love/like most in life. Maybe you can put in 30 minutes a day to do things that you love most. Maybe reading,watching TV,surfing the net, ANYTHING that you love. This will release endorphins(the happy juice for your brain :P) and keep you happy and keep your mind of the stress-causing problem.

I hope that these tips that i given you helps. It worked for me!!

Having a website that generate steady income is appealing to everyone ( me included :P). But people out there that is attracted by this idea is sometimes careless to think that they ONLY have to design attractive websites and leave it there and visitors will somehow magically come. Well,it doesn’t work that way.

You HAVE to promote your site in order for people to come visit and read your blog/website’s content. I’ve read some article all over the internet and i narrow it down to 5 simple steps that you guys out there with traffic problem can follow.

5 SIMPLE STEPS TO GENERATE TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE.

1.There are services out there that provide cheap advertising and can confirm traffic to your site. For example, Google Adwords. This service allows you to create text and link based ads and they advertise your ads through their search engine and also through people that participate in their Google Adsense program. This means that, you are marketing your website GLOBALLY and not just at a single website, which means this will bring a lot more traffic than just advertising on a single website.

2. Write articles. (Like i’m doing right now). This can help increase your website’s traffic tremendously. Don’t worry if you don’t write well(like me :P). It’ll become better after much practice. After you finished writing, submit them to several article directory.

3. Join a traffic exchange service. Most of the traffic exchange service nowadays are free, but you can’t just join and sit back and wait for the visitor to roll in. No, sadly, it doesnt work that way. You have to do your fair share of work by ‘paying’ a certain site through the exchange link’s credit system. This way that you can get paid(credit wise) to advertise for them and vice versa.

4.Create a network with other sites. Link to a website that is in the same category as yours and ask the webmaster of the site to do the same. This will not only give you free advertisement but also can increase your site credibility if your site is linked in a popular site.

5. Last but not least, if you just started a company website, don’t forget to put the address on business cards,banners,fliers and pamphlets. This will give your site some traffic and also increase your company’s credibility on the eyes of the people that saw your advertisement.

Hope you guys can benefit from these tips that i give. Would love to hear some feedback!!
