			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.funponsel.net/images//google_sm.gif" width="143" height="59" alt="Google AdSense" title="Google AdSense" />One of the key of bringing traffic to our blog is finding the right time to post our blog entry. We&#8217;re not talking about our loyal or regular visitors, since (mostly) they always come to our site anyway, no matter when we post a new entry. But we&#8217;re talking about dragging new visitors, those who use RSS feed search engine or aggreator, such as <a href="http://www.technorati.com">Technorati</a>, <a href="http://www.feedster.com/">Feedster</a>, etc. </p>
<p><span id="more-760"></span>I guess you already know that listing on such RSS search engine usually ordered by the time of the post. So searching for specific keyword / tags, will return the most recent entry first. What if we post on the wrong time? Of course, you&#8217;d get no advantage of those  search engine since your post will be burried under many other posts. <em>Note that this is also depend on the popularity of your subject/keyword/tags.</em> </p>
<p>The benefit of it is, you&#8217;ll get more visitors. But more visitors always follow by other good effects, such as more AdSense revenue, more product sales, etc.</p>
<p>So when is the right time to blog in order to drive traffic to your blog?</p>
<p>A new study by <a href="http://www.atlassolutions.com/pdf/DaypartAnalysisDMI.pdf">Atlas</a> shows that â€œ<em>Web users who view display ads during the workday and early evening are more likely to make a purchase, fill out registrations, or otherwise convert than consumers who see ads between midnight and dawn</em>&#8220;.</p>
<blockquote><p>Conversion rates peaked at around noon Eastern Standard Time, when conversion rates were around 36 percent higher than average for the day. The daily low occurred shortly after 4:00 a.m., when conversion rates were around 53 percent lower than conversion rates for the day.</p>
<p>The number of impressions and conversions rose and fell together throughout the day, but the different ratio of impressions to conversions at different hours of the day showed that people were most likely to respond to ads during lunch and in the early evening.</p>
<p>â€œIt shows that people are reacting to advertising at lunchtime, while they&#8217;re at work, and when they go home, around dinner time,&#8221; says Young-Bean Song, Atlas&#8217;s director of analytics.</p></blockquote>
<p>According to the result of the study, the recommended time to blog is within the work hours, not during late hours (10 PM &#8211; 5 AM). Randy, from <a href="http://www.kbcafe.com/adwords/?guid=20050914202940">KBCafe</a>, confirms this:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;My CTR tails off in the evening and night. About 1/3 of my PageView occur before noon PST, but about 1/2 of my clicks occur before noon PST. I get next to nothing between 6PM PST and midnight.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>So, the conclusion is, find out your target visitors&#8217; demographic location, check their time zone, and blog during their work hour. Not hard, isn&#8217;t it? <img src='http://www.funponsel.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to Double Your AdSense Income Instantly<br />By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Daegan_Smith">Daegan Smith</a></p>
<p>As you probably already know, AdSense is revolutionizing the way many infopreneurs are creating revenue from their web site traffic. The reason for this is its simplicity. Through AdSense, revenue is generated when someone simply clicks thru the AdSense ads displayed on the webmasters web site.</p>
<p>In this article I want to give you a few simple ways to dramatically increase your AdSense income.</p>
<p><span id="more-250"></span>
<p>The bottom line:</p>
<p>To increase AdSense income all you must do is increase the number of click thrus you receive.</p>
<p>There are two ways for you to increase your total number of click thrus. You can either increase your website traffic or you can increase your AdSense click thru rate.  Now, getting more traffic would be great, but let&#8217;s be honest increasing your web site traffic is much easier said than done. So, let&#8217;s focus on increasing your AdSense click thru rate instead.</p>
<p>4 Tips to Increase Click Thru:</p>
<p>Match your AdSense to your website:</p>
<p>You want your AdSense ads to appear as seamless as possible. Your goal is to match every aspect of your AdSense ads to the theme of your website. What you want to do is remove the borders from your AdSense ads and match the background color of the ad to your website. Additionally, you want to match the color of the AdSense links to the rest of the links on your website plus choose an ad format that makes the ads look seamless.</p>
<p>For example, if your web site has a white background and the default color of your hypertext links is blue you will want to remove the border from your AdSense, make the background white, choose either a square or a rectangle as your ad format instead of a skyscraper or banner, and yep you guessed itâ€¦ make the links blue.</p>
<p>Placement Matters:</p>
<p>Where you place your AdSense ads is just as important as how they look. Luckily, there are only a few concepts that you need to worry about in order to increase your click through rate.</p>
<p>â€¢The more white space around your ads the better<br /> â€¢The closer to the top of the page the better<br />
â€¢The closer the left of the page the better</p>
<p>Follow these concepts and I can assure you that you will see an increase in your AdSense click thru rate. (It really is that simply!)</p>
<p>Google Search:</p>
<p>Now this is one that I rarely see webmasters take advantage of. The Google AdSense program gives webmasters the ability to add a Google search box to there web site.</p>
<p>Why should you use this function?</p>
<p>Well, when a website visitor chooses to use this search box from your website your AdSense ID will be imbedded in ALL of that visitors Google searches. If that person does 1 search or 50 your AdSense ID will still be imbedded throughout process.</p>
<p>Why is this so great?</p>
<p>If that visitor clicks on any of the sponsored listings while surfing from your web site guess who makes money. YOU! If they hit the back button and click on another ad guess who makes money? YOU! This is absolutely huge.  Through this function you now have the ability to earn multiple click thrus from the same visitor on the site visit. Please don&#8217;t overlook how powerful this is. Besides, most of your website traffic will just be browsing anyway, so I why help them find what there looking for and make a little coin along the way?</p>
<p>Tracking:</p>
<p>Just like any other type of marketing, you won&#8217;t know what&#8217;s working the best for you on your web site unless you track the different things that you&#8217;re experimenting with. Set up a few Google AdSense channels for the different ads that you&#8217;ll be placing on your website. Then just see which channels are working the best and stick to those.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it!</p>
<p>Follow the tips above and I can assure you that you will absolutely double your AdSense click thru rate and your AdSense income. The best part about the four tips I&#8217;ve shared here is that you can put them into action immediately and see how they will work on your website right now. Who knowsâ€¦ you could be making twice as much by tomorrow by just making a few simple tweaks here and there.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
