Adsense Marketing - Black Hat Vs. White Hat Strategies ECommerce Articles | June 25 Wholesale Los Angeles Lakers Jerseys , 2006 Discusses the pros and cons of different Adsense marketing techniques and examines which are likely to be the winners over the long term.
I came across an interesting discussion on a marketing forum recently that I'd like to relay to you now.
In it, Adsense marketers were discussing what percentage of their sites are white hat and which are black hat.
As an aside for a moment, a "white hat" website refers to it being "squeeky clean" and following all the search engine rules - a hand-built site offering original content and a quality experience for visitors."
Black hat" sites, in contrast, utilize many "underhanded" or "didgy" techniques such as "borrowing" content in the form of articles Wholesale Lakers Jerseys , search engine results, RSS feeds and forum posts then using automated software to spit out hundreds if not thousands of low quality pages in a matter of minutes.
The search engines generally frown on these "black hat" techniques as they fill up their listings with hundreds of "junk" sites and make it increasingly hard for them to do their jobs - providing high quality results so users can find exactly what they're looking for quickly and easily.
The claim by one marketer was that white hat sites take a long time to build (he's right) and they are often penalized just as much by the search engines, so why bother?The answer to that question is twofold.
Firstly, in my experience, a properly built and marketed white hat site *won't* be penalized in the search engines (unless the owner decides to try some gray-area marketing tricks).
The second part of the answer is that black hat Adsense marketing is an arms race.
In nature species evolve to try and better each other's weapons. A plant develops poisonous sap to try and prevent insects from eating it's leaves. But then a caterpillar develops a way to "filter out" the toxins Cheap Los Angeles Lakers Jerseys , so it can still eat the leaves, and then uses the toxins to make itself poisonous. In doing so it makes itself less attractive to predators and so actually is likely to live longer.
And so the never-ending battle continues.
If you take part in black hat strategies you must resign yourself to the fact that you will be the predator or worse, the parasite, in this arms race whilst the search engines represent the provider.
They continue to develop new techniques at a dizzying pace to remove black hat Adsense sites from their listings (and so reduce the income of those marketers) whilst the marketers themselves try to develop ever more powerful ammunition to try and go unnoticed.
If you're happy with constantly having sites delisted or even banned, and having to constantly rebuild your network then go ahead Cheap Lakers Jerseys , but remember that white hat sites have been, and continue to be, perrenial winners with the search engines.
And that's likely to continue for a long time yet.

The More Visitors You Convert Into Subscribers and
Customers - The More Money You Will Make
I'm as guilty of ignoring this advice as anyone else. At times in my business I have spent 99% of my marketing effort on getting more traffic, and ignoring techniques to turn more of those visitors into customers.
Now, my sites consistently convert over 1.5% of visitors into customers Wholesale Brandon Ingram Jersey , sometimes more, but rarely less.
Now that seems pretty good - but what if I could get that to be 2%, 2.5% or more on a consistent basis.
With over 15,000 visitors per month on just one of my sites, that could mean a very major increase in customers and revenue!
In fact Wholesale Brook Lopez Jersey , logic would dictate I should be spending more time focused on conversion than generating traffic - so thats what I'm doing.
Which Site Do You Think Converts Better
Ok - here's a test.
Here are two sites I am split testing (fancy term for software that equally splits traffic going to two or more pages, without the visitor knowing and ensuring any future visits, they will be taken back to that same page):
purpose of these pages are to capture contact information, marketing a very successful minicourse we created using the formula explained in "Automated Income Streams" ( )
One of these two pages outperformed the other by over 70% - care to take a guess?
It was the first one.
The only change between the two pages is the main headline.
So now, I have a scientifically proven headline I KNOW outperforms alternatives by a significant amount.
Will I start to use this in future emails Wholesale Tyler Ennis Jersey , ads, signatures, sales letters, press releases and more...?
Absolutely.
Testing may seem boring, useless Wholesale Luol Deng Jersey , a waste of time and even painful - but the reward is incredible. When you can increase your conversion, you will not only instantly see higher revenues, but you will have more leverage to create major joint venture deals that can really increase your profits.
Oh, by the way, the software I used to run the split test is a simple Wholesale Timofey Mozgov Jersey , yet effective script from:
't get caught up with the software - there are many scripts out there, most important is to just get one of them and get started.
