Where does your traffic come from?

I know, most of you would be using google analytics or a similar program to track the visitors. That must give you a nice graph breaking down the vistitors by referer, location etc.

Now, how well each of these referers convert? Does your search engine referels click more than repeat visitors?

Ever wondered if all those cheap traffic you are buying is really worth? Do they ever click the ads??

Yes, most of the bigger publishers will require some sort of tracking for their adsense ads. Unfortunately, google doesnt give any info about the referers, location etc. of the clicks.

Here is a look at few adsesnse tracking solutions.

Its around a couple of days that i searched (googled) about the pagerank and came to know that the blogger world is suffering a drawback of the field of pagerank.

Every blogger has its own theory.

Some told it as an algorithm change by google.

Problogger and Copyblogger, two of the most popular blogs on the niche, announced that their PR dropped from 6 to 4. Previously other authority blogs confirmed that they lost PR

Previously other authority blogs confirmed that they lost PR, but the suspect was towards paid links. Given that Problogger and Copyblogger are not selling links, it might be just a readjustment on the PR scale. Some people are arguing that since the PR drop is not generalized, it must be a slap from Google due to practices that conflict with its guidelines.

the sites that got penalized were either selling links or exchanging them inside large blog networks. This is a feasible explanation given that most of the Weblogs, Inc blogs (Engadget above all) were penalized, and they do not sell paid links either.

But there are others who believe the other way.
“Paid inclusion is a search engine marketing model in which Web site owners pay a search engine company to guarantee their sites will show up in search results.” But then this definition changed when this process of buying links spreads from search engines to individually run websites and blogs. Companies started preferring to have their links shown on a blog having higher visitors or Page Rank with more visibility i.e. having a small banner on side bars of a web page or a banner at the end of the article. Now according to Page Rank Theory , each web page having some Page Rank pass its juice equally to the links placed on that page. Someone then publish a theory that High Page Rank is effecting your ranking in Google SERP’s. After this a new era of paid linking starts. People start placing their adds on the webpages having high Page Rank. This situation alert Google About its Paid Link Program known as AdWords and it start yelling that Paid Link.

Whatever be the reason,i want to ask about the future of companies who pay per post to the bloggers.

This is because after such an incidence,the companies who were paying to put the link in review were now paying even more (as much as 100$) to remove the link.
So,blogges,play the game safe.

The latest hot trend in everything to do with site promotion and internet marketing of business websites and blog sites these days seems to be all about social bookmarking. This new site promotion technique has actually been with us since 2003 when Del.icio.us started getting worldwide attention

 A lot of online entrepreneurs took notice of what Del.icio.us was doing and used that business model to start their own social bookmarking services. Companies like Furl, StumbleUpon and Digg put their own individual spins on social bookmarking. These newer online websites share a number of common features. First, they allow individuals to create personal collections of bookmarks and easily share their bookmarks with others from one central hub. Another huge commonality all of these sites share is the fact that you can actually promote your own site or blog to everybody on these sites that are seeking out information that your business or blog site has that is linked to your main site contents or is embedded in your home page.

When all of the general subscribers to these sites sign up, they request to see only specific categories of sites they have an interest in, so it is your job to make sure that if you have a site that promotes horror movies in some capacity, those people with an interest in horror sees your site first.
