Today, I
will teach you how to stop showing adsense in certain pages in your site. Adsense
is a great way to monetize your site especially when you are a beginner. This
works well if your site is already a highly trafficked site and your focus is your
content instead of selling off something.
Years ago, installing adsense is manual and in most cases you will have to install the code either in each page of your site OR you will have to install it in header or footer before the closing tag so that it will appear in every site.
However,
recently, Adsense made changes to this. When you install adsense, you will have
to upload code at the root folder of your site. And the ads will automatically
appear almost in every page of your site.
So the problem
happens when ads appear in your sales pages, privacy policy page, and other
pages where you want your visitors to just focus to do an action. So this tutorial
will be for that purpose.
So here it
is:
1. Login to
your Adsense account.
2. Go to Ads>> Overview
3. Select the site where you want to add page exclusion for the ads. Click the Pencil icon.
4. On the page that will appear, right hand bar, bottom, Click “Manage” in Page exclusion Section.
5. Add the link that you want to exclude from Adsense.
6. Click Apply to Site (lower right hand corner. This will appear after clicking the ad.
After putting
the pages that you want to exclude from ads, just wait for a few minutes to see
the effect and you should see that ads will no longer appear on that specific
link.
Optimizing images is an important aspect in website development. Normally, an image taken from those high resolution cameras are very huge and usually intended for portraits, banners and everything. However, if you are using it for websites, they have to be reduced significantly in size and should be optimized to become lightweight.
Today, I will teach you how to resize and optimize images using photoshop for website use.
Open the file.
2. Resize the image first. Hover to Image tab > Resize Image
Put in the desired image size. For normal image size for posts and pages, you may want between 500px to 800px of width. Click Ok.
3. The next thing that you want to do is to save it in jpeg format.
4. Hover to File > Save As. Choose jpeg. And then click Save.
A small window will appear, try to reduce the quality of the image. The image lower quality may not be very visible to the naked eye unless you reduce it that much. I suggest you stick between 50-80kb for an image that has around 700-800px width.
You can actually see the quality as you try to adjust that quality scroll bar. You can also see the file size of the file as you adjust it. Click Ok.
Website is the online representation of your company or of yourself if it a personal website. And understanding that, you would always want to make the best out of it. So here’s some reasons why optimize images in your website.
For faster website speed. One of the main goals of a web developer is to make the website load faster. When someone visit the site, you don’t want your visitor to wait too long before he sees what he is looking for. What you want is for him to stay and click more in your website.
Having a slow website will turn off your visitor and will probably click back or look again for another website.
For Better SEO. Website speed these days is now one aspect of website rankings. The slower your website speed, the more likely that it will rank lower.
Just imagine if a webpage is visited and it is about 10mb size in comparison to webpage that is only 100kb. There’s a huge difference there. If the visitor is using a slower internet, your website may not even be able to load, and search engines hate that. It will immediately tell Google that your website is not loading thus, affecting your ranking.
Better conversions. If you have a good website speed and that your visitor clicks for more, then you will probably have a better conversion. Internet marketers know this. So again, you will want to have your visitor stay on your website longer and clicking and searching for more inside it.
Furthermore, according to Strangeloop study, you can cost you 7% lost in sales for a 1 second delay of in loading your site. Of course, there are several factors that affects website speed apart from image sizes, but more importantly, image size is something that you can manage to resize at no cost.
Lesser bandwidth and storage. Hosting companies usually limits the bandwidth of the website hosted to them especially in shared hosting plans. The bigger the pages you have, the more bandwidth you will need. So it is best to use that bandwidth properly.
You also do not want your website to be affecting other sites during the “rush hour” traffic in your site. The more people who visits the site in one time, the more CPU and RAM resources are being used by the server. Image sizes on websites can add to that load of resources. This may end up to your hosting account being suspended by your host.
Another thing to consider is your storage. Shared hosting usually have limitations in storage. If you are also a blogger who updates your site every now and then, you will definitely need a bigger storage capacity as time passes by. With that, you may want to only store the “necessary” images and their respective sizes in your host storage.
Final thoughts
Resizing your images is not that difficult. It only becomes difficult if you already have a website and you started wrong, you used huge images before. But if you will start right and only upload optimized images from the beginning, then it should not be too much of a burden.
In this post, I will give you some tips on how to write SEO friendly articles. SEO have changed dramatically for the past several years. Before, it’s the battle of link building and so SEO workers setup tons and tons of accounts listings, and blog accounts to build subsites to put their link on it. After a while, Google imposes Panda and Penguin updates and there you are, websites that relied on backlinks were penalized and nowhere to be found. What a waste.
So today, I want to share to you simple things that are acceptable and still the best way to optimize your articles for search engines.
Do a simple Keyword Research – Even if there’s an imposition of Google Panda and Penguin, keyword remains to be one of the most essential part of SEO. You need to get keyword and have your article revolve around it.
There are tons of Keyword research tools that you can definitely use. The free one is Google’s Keyword Planner as long as you have Google Adwords account. I highly recommend that you use it for Keyword research.
Include your Keyword in your title – Remember that the Search Engines were created to read and to understand that your article is all about your title. So better help them know that you are writing for that particular topic.
Include your Keyword in your permalink – If you are using WordPress, the first time you saved your title, it will immediately adapt as your permalink. Just make sure that your permalink is set properly as /%postname%/ .
Include your Keyword in your Body – Make sure that your keyword is in your article body and preferably appears in the first paragraph. Please, do not overuse your keyword in your article body. If you have 400 word article, just use your keyword 2 times or most 3 times. If you have 1000 word article, just use it 4 times. The thing is, we do not want to commit “keyword stuffing”.
Use paragraphs and sentences properly – Naturally, a paragraph is estimated to have 3-4 sentences. And a sentence is about 15-20 words. This is not a strict measurement, but know that we want it to be readable both to humans and search engines. Avoid making your sentences too long or too short. So as your paragraphs.
Write for humans – Never write for search engines. It’s a big no-no. Write because a human being will be reading it. Do not fool the search engines. You may be able to fool them for a time being, but as search engines improve their algorithm, time will come that they will detect if something is wrong.
Make your article more than 400 words – A good article is 400 words or more. If you can make around 800 words, then it is much better. Of course, there are blogs that is focused on micro-blogging. But that’s not the case of most blogs, and probably that includes your blog.
Use h2 to h3 tags – Your title has h1 tag. When you use sub topics in your article, use h2 or h3 tags. You are helping the search engine to understand that you also discussed some other topics under your main title which have your main keyword.
Use list format if enumerating something – Not only that it is better to look at, it’s better to read as well. Remember, we are writing for humans, not for search engines. We just want the article be search engine friendly.
Write something that will last a lifetime – Finally, if you have some “evergreen” article, something that does not change immediately. Something that will still be useful 5-10 years from now. Overtime, these articles if well optimized will rank better.
So there you have it. In other words, keep your article simple and understandable. Write for people, optimizing it for search engine is just a sideline.
There are several causes of Internal Server Error. This troubleshooting tutorial is about the Internal Server Error that you get after upgrading plugins or activating one.
Here’s the simple step by step instructions:
You will need access to your FTP or Cpanel.
When accessing your WordPress website files, go to your site directory and locate the plugins folder, then rename it. Adding a single character is already enough to rename that folder and will cause all the plugins to be automatically deactivated. Then refresh your website.
Once you get access again to your website, go ahead and re-edit the plugins folder and put it to its original name.
Activate the plugins one by one until you get the internal server error with that plugin. Once you get the error, return to your directory and rename that folder of that particular plugin to deactivate it. Then refresh again your website so that you can get your live website back. Then go back again to that plugin folder in your directory and put back its original name again.
You have the option now to either delete the plugin, or retain it as deactivated, or ask the plugin author for the bug solution.
