Google Adsense Official Arabic Blog

I just came to know about Google Adsense Arabic blog from Google Adsense's Fan page at Facebook. The blog is located here. And there are quite amazing articles and information in arabic is available, as I gone through the blog I have found there are already 23 posts there on the blog. So it is not a brand new thing.

As Google Adsense is getting popular in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries, this Arabic blog would be a nice asset for all the people who are native Arabic and have less or no understanding of English language.

Getting Adsense money in Saudi Arabia via Western Union


Finally on 21st July 2011, I have received my first Google Adsense payment via Western Union Quick Cash. Actually it was my second payment issued by Google Adsense. First payment was issued by check a few months ago. However I couldn't cash that check because Payee Name was not correct in that. Google Adsense suggested me to close my Adsense account and apply for a new one. I did the same way and Google Adsense sent my balance amount with wrong payee name. That check is still with me & it is more than 6 months old now. So I don’t expect I could cash it anymore.

Later on I created another account and it was approved hardly, this time I submitted correct Payee Name as per my local documents and also changed payment method from “Check” to “Western Union Quick Cash”
When my Google Adsense income reached 10 SU $, Google Adsense sent me a Pin via my postal address. That reached to me within 2, 3 weeks then I added that PIN into my account. That verified my physical existence to Google Adsense people. After that upon reaching 100 US $ balance finally I found that my payment was sent on 25th of the month.

As per my selection this time Payment was sent via Wester Union Quick Cash. I visited Western Union website and try to locate my payment with MTCN and sender name but website has give me following error.
W0131 We do not have an order with the provided information. Please verify your information and click Check Status.
That was little surprising, however when I selected the country “Ireland” from Western Union website, no error received. I discovered that my payment is ready to pickup. In Saudi Arabia “Enjaz Bank” has some kind of affiliation with WU. So I went there and asked from the clerk about my Adsense payment, he asked me to fill a form and go to Teller to collect my payment. It took me about an hour there and I received the payment from Western Union.

The conversion rate applied from US $ to Saudi Riyal is 3.735398, while market rate was 3.75 SR = 1 US $. That is not a big difference and after calculating the difference of final amount I found that I have lost only 2 Saudi Riyals because of this conversion rate difference. It is not a big deal. So it was a great day. I must say Thanks to Google Adsense and thanks to Western Union.

How Comm100 Newsletters work

Comm100 is providing free email newsletters to Small Business owners and Web Bloggers. If you are a legitimate business and sending Emails to your opt-in recipients, you are more than welcomed to use the free Comm100 Newsletter to reach your customers. You do not need to worry about the moderation process mentioned below.

If you are not, do not attempt to send spam email with Comm100 Newsletter.

In an effort to fight spam, we create the concept of Newsletter Status for Comm100 Newsletter. The three possible statuses for your newsletter are: Moderation Needed, Moderation Not Needed, Email Banned.

This newsletter status only affects the Email sending feature of your newsletter account. The status does NOT affect other features of your Comm100 Newsletter account or other Comm100 applications.

Moderation Needed

This is the initial status of your site account. Under this status, your Emails will be moderated manually by our customer service team after you requested to send out your emails.




How we moderate your Email:

1. Your verified sender Email address must be a business Email address. Any free Email address, including the ones from yahoo.com, gmail.com, hotmail.com and live.com, is not allowed;

2. No obvious spam content in your message.

How the Moderation Affects Your Business:

We understand our moderation process could cause delay for your Email delivery, and since we will look into your Email content during the moderation process, privacy concern may arise.

Your Privacy is Protected:

Email spamming is a big issue for all internet mailing services. Please understand we are doing this to protect your business. We will only look into the content of your Email when your site status is Moderation Needed and in the event that your Email recipient reports abuse.

For more information about how we handle your privacy, please refer to our Privacy Policy.


Moderation Not Needed

After several of your Emails passed the moderation process, our customer service team will change your Moderation Needed status to Moderation Not Needed. Under this status, your Email will be sent directly without moderation.

However, if a certain number of abuse complaints are received and then verified, we may change your status back to Moderation Needed or even Email Banned.

Email Banned

If a certain number of abuse complaints are received and then verified, or your Email cannot pass the moderation process for many times, your newsletter site status will be changed to Email Banned and your Email will not be sent.

If you think you are not sending spam, please contact our customer service team.

How to Decrease a lengthy Home Page of your Blog in Wordpress

You can truncate blog entries so that only the first part of certain posts is displayed on the home and archive views. When you do this, a link will be placed directly after your excerpt, pointing the reader to the full content of the article.

You can find the More Tag button in the first row of the visual editor toolbar or by pressing Alt+Shift+T:


Using the More tag

1) Go to Posts -Add New in your dashboard to create a new blog entry (this does not work with Pages).

2) Begin writing your post. When you decide that you want to cut it off, insert the More tag to split the post (mark where the excerpt officially ends). You will see the More Tag as such in the visual editor:




3) Finish writing your post.


4) Publish the post and view the front page of your blog. You should see your post effectively split using the More Tag. Click on the link, and you will be taken to the post in its full form. The front page of your blog should display the post similar to:



But wait, there’s more!

You can further customize the message that displays in the link to the full post content.

You will need to do this in the HTML view of your editor. Once you have changed to the HTML editor, look for this code: (remove spaces)


< ! - - more - - >

Custom Read More Message

To customize the message, simply add a space after

< ! - - more But wait, there's more - - >

The front page of your blog should now display your post as such:



Note: You will need to customize the message for each post. You cannot declare a global message that will take effect on each post of your blog that uses the More Tag.

Formatting Issues

If the More Tag is inserted after writing a post, formatting errors can occur. The issue occurs when you insert the More Tag using the visual editor, but it is actually placed within another HTML tag. As an example:

< strong > Oh man, this post is messed up.< ! - - more - - > < / strong >

The above will cause the rest of the posts on your front page (or in an archive) to be formatted as bold, sometimes including your sidebar contents. Not cool. It can also make the sidebar fall to the bottom of the page. To fix the issue, just place the More Tag on the outside of any pesky closing HTML tags, like so:

< strong > Oh man, this post is messed up. < / strong > < ! - - more - - >

Make sure to go into the HTML view of the problematic post and move your More Tag to outside of any HTML tags (this includes div, strong, em, etc…).

How To Find An Seo Specialist

Content is King. Search engines love content, especially if it's unique. Build a quality website and become the authority on your niche. You will soon find the traffic flowing in and your servers will be bloating with bandwidth.

SEO Specialist
Search engine directory submissions would rather be a smart decision to make for your marketing business. They are different from the search engine submissions directly. It is effective to have your website registered at Google or any other directory. Keep in mind to question your SEO specialist if they are adding your website to the search engines or the directories.

While one can never be sure about the exact ranking a website will get, there is a certain minimum level that must be ensured by any consultant worth his salt. So, this is our first important question, and if the consultant hesitates in giving a firm answer, you can be sure that you are dealing with someone who doesn't know his business inside out.

An SEO specialist should have a reputation or a good amount of experience in handling optimization of web sites successfully. The specialist should have a record of dealing with different types of design features as well as development languages. Always make it a point to ask for client references and check their portfolio.


You should also inquire the local SEO service providers of what keywords they are going to use for the research. If he or she is specific about the keyword listings regarding your business, look for someone who provides and uses miscellaneous combination of keywords and researching techniques.

A company that is involved in the online world needs to draw more traffic. If this does not happen, then the company is bound to lose money each passing day. But how can this actually be achieved? The services of an SEO specialist must be hired in order to improve the search engine ranking of the company's site. It is also through the help of the SEO specialist that the company can boost the chances of attracting traffic from the search engine going to the site in a natural manner.

Now for writing an advertisement, it is a little different. If you are dealing with Google Adwords, you will already have a set number of keywords that will go into the advertisement. A good SEO specialist will be able to not only format but also write the ad with the correct amount of keywords in it while making it easy to read as well as well as attention grabbing.

When dealing with a professional SEO specialist, you need to make sure that they have done the work they say they have done. Ask your professional SEO consultants if they can show you a report that shows rankings through many search engines for six months. Make sure the report that is shown to you is in a format that you can easily understand. Professional SEO services are not cheap and finances will have to figure into the equation.

If you get your search query report going in your account with Google, then you can really get a feel for what sort of words people are finding a site for in the early phase. Then you can build out the site according to what the market's telling you are high conversion type keywords. Everything I do is focused around buying keywords and going for the conversion.

With these identified an SEO specialist can make suggestions on how to improve your own site optimisation by finding elements that your competitors are doing well with and what they may have missed. This is very important information for your website. They can also recommend amendments to be made to your website such as new content, blogs, change of navigation and also identify what isn't working and how to correct it, this could mean in some cases a site change or update which sounds like a tall order but normally isn't and can dramatically help your traffic increase.

Black Hat Vs. White Hat Types

Black Hat SEO- These are aggressive tactics used to gain high search engines rankings that do not comply with the philosophy of the search engines. Sites produced with black hat SEO techniques are considered unethical spam by most web surfers because they provide no real content or user experience. They basically look like pages of another search engine or paragraphs of jargon containing keywords instead of real content.

The black hats, on the other hand, simply thinks of "How do I get links to the site?" They pay no consideration to whether the links provide value to the visitors and readers. The eventual strategy that emerges usually turns out to be schemes like link farms and reciprocal link schemes.

Black Hat SEO are all about getting fast results. The method they use to optimize their websites will often get the website to the top of the search engines very rapidly, but when the search engines catch-on, the website will very often crash or get banned.

For a while now, there is a battle going on within the Internet among marketers that use SEO. Black Hat SEO is to use optimizing practices to fool the search engines and the use of other traffic generating techniques that are questionable or unethical.

White Hat Optimization- If you're thinking of using an SEO consultancy to help your website get listed well on search engines then ask them a few questions about bad techniques that you've heard of. This will probably be enough for the unethical website optimization company to take the bait whereas a good, ethical SEO consultancy will try to talk you out of it and steer you in the right direction


White Hat SEO remains more time-consuming, but it yields better long-term results and has a more positive impact. People prefer to use web sites they haven't been deceived into visiting, and search engines don't like to list sites which have manipulated their way to a high ranking. Sites using white hatted techniques usually don't have to worry about being removed from search engine results.

The use of keyphrases can also be considered white or black hat as white hat SEO'rs will use keyphases in the natural context of a body of text, if you write your web copy for your visitors and not the search engines you will achieve better results.

White Hat SEO evolves writing good quality content. Don't try to use spammy tricks. Deliver great content to your visitors and the search engines. Don't hide text, or stuff Meta tags with keywords that shouldn't be there. Make sure your title tag and other Meta tags reflect your page.

The Importance of Email Marketing

Why email marketing is critical to online success.

Most of the people who visit your site will never buy. In fact, if your website produces a 1% conversion rate your website is considered successful.In most cases, that means that 99 out of every 100 people who visit your site will leave and never come back… ever.

By offering something of high perceived value absolutely free to your website visitors, in exchange for their name and email address, you can capture a much larger number of people into your marketing system. Where a good conversion rate for a site that is selling something is around 1%, a good ‘opt-in rate’ (the number of people who take up your free offer) is around 20%, and can be as high as 50%! Instead of losing 99 out of 100 people who visit your site, you’re now only losing 50 to 80 people. Or in other words, you’re capturing 20 to 50 people out of every 100 people who visit your site, instead of just one.

Most of the people who visit your site have some interest in what you sell, but for any number of reasons they won’t buy on the spot… they might be researching to buy in the future; they might be looking to buy now but were distracted; or they might be at work and can’t take the required action to buy your product or service… it could be anything. But, if you capture their name and email address, you can send them regular emails with solid information which is of value to them, as well as promotional emails selling your services.

By doing that, you stay in the mind of your prospect, so when they do make the decision to buy, your business it he first they think of. Email marketing is critical in generating the maximum profits from your website visitors.

Shortage Of Seo Professionals To Local Businesses Explained

There's a lot of free articles and information you can read about SEO all over the Internet. That's all fine and dandy, but when you try to learn it this way you learn it in bits and pieces. There are hundreds of little tricks you need to know to become truly proficient at Search Engine Optimization, and that's learned over years. Plus to be a true Search Engine Professional, you need some contacts, at least a dozen tools, some which charge a monthly fee and you need to keep reading up on the latest techniques.

What It Takes to Become A True SEO Professional

An SEO Professional is no different from a Piano Player. You can learn the basics in a relatively short amount of time, but to become proficient, it takes lots and lots of practice. It's also more of an art than a skill since you can always get better, no matter how good you are at it. I'm speaking as someone who does this everyday and I still get nerve wracked from time to time, and I've been doing this on a professional level successfully for over 3 years now, and in the most competitive global markets.


I've also attended SEO Seminars, bought about a dozen Niche Marketing Courses, learned how to create Screen Capture Videos and a lot of other stuff. And to be honest I still have quite a bit to learn, and anyone who tells you they know it all, put your best sneakers on and run as fast as you can. I can assure you they are lying to you and just trying to close a quick sale. This industry is flooded with people like this unfortunately.

So what is the point I'm trying to make? The point is that a good SEO Professional is very hard to come by. They are not a dime a dozen. It is a very specialized skill that takes a special person to perform. You have to be willing to sit down at a computer for hours and write content, get backlinks, read journals, buy and take new courses just to keep on top of the Google Game. A real Search Engine Optimization Expert is a full time professional. The trade does pay relatively well but it's a huge trade off of your time.

You can not learn this skill at your State University or Community College. Much of the stuff you learn in SEO is by true insiders, people who have worked for Google or Yahoo in the past that run expensive training seminars. Or people who have done SEO for 10 years or more and know it like the back of their hand since they've had so much practice. Almost all Search Engine Professionals come from extensive technical backgrounds.

Local Business Demand Exceeds SEO Supply Bigtime

Right now there's about 2000 people in the world that understand SEO. I know this for a fact because this is the total amount of people who have taken the type of advanced training we have received. There are millions of Small Businesses in the United States alone who can use targeted, local SEO Services that will make them the top dog in their local niches.

What this means is that statistically it's almost impossible to find an qualified SEO Company that will truly go to bat and help you out, and is the reason that this subject is so mysterious to almost everybody today. But the good news is that we're here and we're ready to help you get the necessary leads to take your company to the next level.

So when you compare the 2000 SEO Professionals to the millions of Business Owners, the supply lies within the Small Online Local Business Owner such as yourself, and the demand is with us. I'm sorry I'm not trying to sound arrogant here, I'm just pointing out the facts.

It's hard to find good, qualified Search Engine Professionals who can actually document their successes and achievements. This is because good Search Engine Work isn't cheap, and there are a lot of scammers and fly by night companies that know this, and take advantage of Local Business Owners and charge them for work they don't really know how to do right.

Your responsibility as a Small Local Business Owner Online is to find and take advantage of the right people who are not afraid to get on the phone with you and prove to you everything they claim. They should be able to give you detailed information about your Top 10 Competitors and exactly what it will take for you to pass them up.

They should also be there to answer all your questions over the phone, and if geography dictates, be happy to arrange a personal meeting as well. Most people won't do this and hide behind a terminal, hoping you'll load up their Online Shopping Cart with their services. We don't take automated orders because there is no cookie cutter approach to helping you achieve your goals. Each Business Owner has different goals, different needs and different budgets.

Also there are certain business Models we can't do anything for. And if this is the case a Search Engine Optimization Company should be honest enough to tell you up front that they can't help you, not charge you thousands of dollars and not do anything for you anyway.

The Usefulness Of Seo And The Things To Be Avoided

When the situation comes that to increase the ranking of a website on the search engine result pages becomes the most needful thing then the best thing that can be done is to have search engine optimization done for that website. This is one of the most essential thing for any website to rise in the ranking on the search engine result pages. The question may come of the reason why the search engine result page ranking is so much important for any website? To provide a simple answer to that question it can be said that when any search engine user looks for any information on the search engine result pages the main thing that is done is providing the keywords and in that context when the result is displayed it has been noticed that the search engine users are in the tendency of visiting those sites the most which appears to them first. This is the thing which makes the webmasters eager to try to raise the ranking of their websites to a better positioning on the search engine result list. Therefore, to achieve this goal the main thing which is necessary is to have proper search engine optimization done for that website.



Moreover there are several things and several factors that should be paid proper attention to gain the best results for the search engine optimization of a website. The search engine optimization for a website is the process of popularizing a website and therefore when it is done with a perfect planning and in the proper manner it is sure to help a website to rise in the search engine result list and thereby increasing the volume of web traffic to that site. But to do this in the proper order it is very much essential to study the search engine algorithms very carefully. The search engine algorithms is one thing that keeps on changing time to time and if the search engine algorithms are not followed properly while working on the search engine optimization of a site then it is sure not to bring the desired results.

Besides that there are certain things that should always be kept in mind for the proper and positive development of a site. One of these is that as the keywords are considered to be one of the most essential things for any website to bring in more web traffic still one should never stuff the web pages and the website with keywords. This is because keyword stuffing is not considered to be a fair means of search engine optimization and it is taken as an attempt to manipulate the search engines for better profit. Therefore one should always say a big NO to the keyword stuffing for the betterment and safety of his site. Other than that the choice of the keywords is also very much important as the keywords are the main source of the volume of traffic to a website. Besides that no unfair means or deception should be employed to increase the ranking of a website on the search engine result list as these deceptions can lead your website to its doom and even may get banned.

If you cannot seem to increase your investments, dump that program and keep looking for better ones.

There are thousands of affiliate programs online which gives you the reason to be picky. You may want to select the best to avoid losing your advertising dollars. Write free reports or short ebooks to distribute from your site. There is a great possibility that you are competing with other affiliates that are promoting the same program. If you start writing short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates. In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If possible, add some recommendations about the products. With ebooks, you get credibility. Customers will see that in you and they will be enticed to try out what you are offering.

2.Remember your old Customers


Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free ebooks. It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first solicitation. You may want to send out your message more than six times to make a sale. This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact information of those who downloaded your reports and ebooks. You can make follow-ups on these contacts to remind them to make a purchase from you. Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor's website. Keep in mind that you are providing free advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are they would be lost to you forever.

But when you get their names, you can always send other marketing messages to them to be able to earn an ongoing commission instead of a one-time sale only. Publish an online newsletter or Ezine. It is always best to recommend a product to someone you know than to sell to a stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers. This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information with a sales pitch. If you continue to write informative editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your readers that may lead them to support you by buying your products.

3.Keep good relations with Partners

Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants. If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should try and approach the merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for your sales. If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request rather than lose a valuable asset in you. Keep in mind that you are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be shy about requesting for addition in your commissions. Just try to be reasonable about it.

Write strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most effective means of advertising online. As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords and Overture. Then you should try and monitor them to see which ads are more effective and which ones to dispose of. Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to your commission checks in the shortest of time.

7 Ways To Track Your Competition Online

The ancient Chinese wise man, Sun Tzu, once said: "If you are ignorant of both your enemy and yourself, then you are a fool and certain to be defeated in every battle." SunTzu was talking about the military battlefield and not the business battlefield. But if Sun Tzu was a businessman today, he would be thrilled with all the information he could find out about his enemies on the internet.

Business owners have traditionally turned to their marketing department for information on competitors. Now they are better off turning to their webmaster. In fact, one of the first things your webmaster should be asking you is who your top three competitors are.

This kind of information comes at a price. Run a Google search on "competitive intelligence" and over 11,000 results show up. There are literally thousands of consultants who will help you identify and gather information on the competition but it will cost you dearly. Save your money. Here are 7 ways you can be your own online intelligence gatherer and it won't cost anything but time. Because as another ancient wise man once said: "A fool and his money are soon parted."

Check Back Links
A recent survey by the Pew Research found that only 50 percent of internet users actually use a search engine everyday. So what is driving traffic to a website? The answer - back links. In other words, other sites that link to your competition. Find out the back links from your competitor's site and get linked from these sites as well. You will increase your traffic dramatically.



Look at Keywords
Take a look at the competition's keywords. This is easy information to get from sites like Key Word Density. Another way is to look at the code of their websites. This isn't difficult. Go to the site and click on "View" at the top of the browser, then click "Source" or "Page Source." A page of HTML code will open and the keywords will be revealed in the code near the top of the page.

Monitor Traffic
Just as you are monitoring unique visitors, length of stay, most viewed pages, and where visitors are coming from on your website, follow these same rules on your competitor's site. You can find this information by going to Quantcast or Alexa.

Google Alerts
Google alerts allows users to set up alerts with keywords and phrases that trigger an email notification every time that word or phrase shows up on a site, blog or press release. For example, if you interested in a competitor, set up a Google alert on that company and their top executives and you will be notified every time they are mentioned online.

Monitor Twitter
It is time to get acquainted or re-acquainted with Twitter for your corporate spying. This is the place where industry buzz starts. It is where you hear the first low rumble of something that is about to happen. But you can't just watch, you have to participate. Try to update your Tweets on a daily basis. If you are too busy to do this, use TweetLater, one of the best apps out there for accomplishing this.

Monitor Movement
You can learn a lot about a company just by reading their "About Us" page and monitoring their job listings. If your competitor is an auto parts company and they just hired a new CEO with a background in marketing, that may be a clue about how they plan to increase sales. If a company has several listings for jobs in another state, chances are it is expanding or relocating there. If the online bios of the top executives are vague, you can research them on professional networking sites like Linkedin or Plaxo.

RSS Feeds
If all this sounds like too many channels of information to monitor on a regular basis, RSS feeds are a good solution. Many experts are fans of feeds for intelligence gathering. You can keep up with industries, customers, and competitors by feeding things like Google Alerts, Twitter, and all of your other RSS feeds into one feed. MySyndicaat has very effective tools for doing this.
