Qadabra 

If you're looking for AdSense alternatives, then Qadabra is the best option for you, if you want to maximize your profits by showing highly qualified and relevant ads.

Qadabra is a performance based robust advertising network that is created for publishers to show ads and monetize their blog and traffic. A good number of ads size is been allowed to use, that also have a popup ad that makes higher chances of maximizing the profits.

Click here, to register at Qadabra. It takes around 2-3 minutes to get your site approved, yeah, it's super-fast.

Media.net

Collaboration of two biggest search engine, Bing and Yahoo, together serves ad that publishers are benefited from by displaying them on their site and monetizing it. It's a contextual ad network that displays ad based on the content you create on your blog. For instance, if your content is about cooking recipe then it would should ads related to that.

Advantage of using Media.net is, it help to customize the ads more, as compared to Google AdSense. However, on contrary to Qadabra, it's approval process is slow.

We at iftiseo are using Media.net from the past 5 months. 

Infolinks

Infolinks, an another PPC (Pay-per-click) advertising network, that helps it's publishers monetize their site by showing ads on non-traditional places in the site. 

Infolinks system crawl your site's contexts, and pick up some keywords that has been fetched during the crawling process and show the ads upon the content and is fully customization that makes it a good AdSense alternative. However, it's disadvantages are: It works on a selected language.

Chitika 

Chitika is another adsense alternative but is very similar to Google AdSense. However it only shows contextual ads and is based on search query i.e. it shows ads only when the visitor lands on a page - of yours - from any search results. Chitka's threshold is $10, minimum. Check payout method is also available for which you require to cross $50, to avail it.

However, unlike Qadabra or Google AdSense itself, Chitika's ad performance is low and is required to have a high traffic to see improvement in concern to ad revenue.

BuySellAds

BuySellAds is another form of Google AdSense alternative, and is for those who have a great traffic to monetize. It's biggest disadvantage is you can't get approved in it if you are having low traffic to your blog. However, it's good if you've space to sell for advertisement in your blog which receives a good traffic in it. All you require to do is to, join it, add your site, and wait for someone to purchase the site's ad space.

Wrapping it Up

Though Google AdSense is good for publishers to monetize their site, it's really crap sometime and people do urge to throw it off. However if circumstance is different, Don't get sad if you're kick-off from Google AdSense, cause there's these site like Qadabra, Chitika, Infolinks, etc. However if you ask, and is now quite confused with what to go with, I'd highly recommend Qadabra.

•  It's suitable for any blog, be it new or old.
• It's registration and get's approval really fast.
• It's payout threshold is low as $1.

Here are all 21 events listed with some extra details: 

New Year Event: This is one of the best event for event based blogging though the competition is much higher. Though it�s just a single day event but the number of searches this event gets is around 1000+k. My friend Imran from AllTechBuzz made around 2000+$ with this event. In fact he was ranked 1^st position in google with the keyword �Happy New year 2014�.  

Exam Results: You can target over 100 different results under this which makes this event huge. You can target JEE Main results, CBSE 10^th class results, CBSE 12^th Class Results, State Board results or any other board exam results held in your country. 

Olympics: Though this event comes once in every 4 years but you can still make a whole lot of money with this. You can easily target different sports and rank your posts higher. This events long run of around 10-18 days makes it big.

FIFA World Cup: Football is the biggest sport around the world and when it comes to world cup everyone follows it. So this event again is a 1 month event which gives you many opportunities to earn money. I have already seen many bloggers preparing on this event.

IPL:  One of the biggest cricketing event with a large number of followers. You can easily rank and earn with your IPL based blog throughout the event.

Elections: May it be of any country but believe me it is quite huge. I came across its power after seeing many blogs earn big through it.

Cricket World Cup: Biggest cricketing event that gets huge number of searches.

Christmas: A very big festival with very high number of searches especially from US and thus if you get your Christmas blog ranked on top, you will be earning huge since the average CPC from US is very high as compared to India and other countries

Super Bowl Finals: Americans favorite!! It becomes the most trending event across the social networks and television media and receives millions of searches. I have seen someone earn 1000+$ with a single video during super bowl. So this event also works well for YouTube uploaders too.

Valentine�s Day:This event gets the highest number of searches from India. You can make posts for all the 7 days (Rose Day, Teddy day etc.) and rank it on google.

Diwali: One of the biggest Hindu festival called the festival of lights. This event again gets thousands of searches hourly especially for Diwali wallpapers and messages.

Video Game Release (VGR) Event: This is the most widespread event and there is 70% chance of earning huge through it. For example, GTA is one of the most popular video game in the industry so you can make a blog for its upcoming game like for example GTA6 and rank it on the top keywords. This is quite lengthy but still the best events to work on for money as you have thousands of games to make blogs of. 

Oscar Awards: This event is the highest level of honor for the film industry and I have listed it in this list as this event gets huge number of searches for different keywords and the competition is really low. This event is really worth trying.

Holi: Another Hindu festival, called the festival of colors. This event gets huge internet searches for around 50+ keywords. Though the competition is high as almost every Indian blogger known to event based blogging will try it but it�s still worth having a try.

Halloween: This event again is very popular among the Americans. US based events gives a high earning due to their high CPC and hence I recommend this to try.

Friendship day:It�s not a huge event but if you get ranked with the main keywords you can easily get a 1000$ out of it.

WWE WrestleMania: It is the biggest event of WWE and if you are a fan of WWE you can easily make a WWE WrestleMania blog. The competion is quite low and you can get good results from it as well.

Ramadan And Eid: Biggest festival of Muslims. If you are a Muslim then making an Eid blog will be very easy task for you.

EL CLASICO: Only a football fan will be knowing about this. The match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid Club De Futbol is called EL CLASICO. This match is played around 2-4 times a year and you can easily make a blog for it. You can choose your domain name as Elclasico2015.com and rank your posts on top. I have tried this event on YouTube some 2 years back and the results were really amazing. The sad part was, my channel was not monetized at that time.

Grammy Awards:The biggest Music awards that again gets very much trending across Google USA. YouTube can also get you huge money outta this event.

Mother�s Day:Last but not the least it�s mother�s day. This event is quite small in terms of the searches it gets on google but still you can give it a try since the competition is quite low.

5+ Reasons Why You Are Failing With AdSense

You got an approved AdSense account but are you earning well by it. Yes or No? Well according to my survey more than 50% of the bloggers or site owners are still not earning even after getting an approved publisher account. 

So where are you lacking?

What are your mistakes?

Can your blog really make money from AdSense?

My Daily page views are 2000+ but still I�m not satisfied with the AdSense earning?

Such thoughts really comes in our minds, I have experienced it too. Well don�t worry, today I�m here to help you get answers to such questions. JAfter a long research I have come up with some points that may be the reason behind your failure at AdSense. 

Here�s the list of mistakes you might be doing.

Low traffic: - This is the case with most of the users. With a low traffic of around 200-800 unique per day you should not expect a good daily income, it will hardly generate 5-8$ for US based publishers and only around 1-3$ for Asian publishers (especially Indian and Pakistani) due to low CPC rates.

Poor Quality Traffic: - Quality of traffic matters a lot, if you try to bring traffic mostly via social media it will result in poor quality traffic. Such traffic doesn�t last�s long and will also increase your bounce rate. Stop expecting AdSense clicks from LOW quality Traffic. Once you start receiving quality traffic specially organic, you will observe a complete change in your Ad revenue as well as affiliate sales.

Poor Ad Placement: - Ad placement again plays a crucial role in deciding the fate of your AdSense earnings. Try to use Responsive ads with both text and image ads. Read all theregulations of AdSense before trying new spots. DON�T ADD MORE THAN 3 AD UNITS ON A SINGLE PAGE.

Poor Design of your Blog: - Poor Design, non-responsive themes also effects a lot in this situation. Use responsive templates and have an elegant look.

Expectations: -If you live with your expectations then sorry nothing gonna help you. You get What you deserve. So don't expect much from AdSense. 

Your Niche Won�t work with AdSense: - Yes, it�s true. Some Niches can�t work with AdSense and you can only succeed with such niches only when your blog stands on top of all your competitors.

For Example: Blogging is one of the most common niche nowadays and it�s nearly impossible to succeed with it. There are 10000s of such blogs with the same content written in different styles. It's quite funny but every newbie starts with Niche, such bloggers can't stand for a long time. Moreover this niche won�t get much clicks on Ads as most of the readers of blogging niche are Bloggers itself and they know very well of AdSense as well as affiliate marketing and it�s unlikely that they will click your ads. I also don�t click Ads as I know very well about it. But if you target other niches like Health, Education, Law, Forex etc. then you can easily earn money right from the beginning. This example is taken after a long research

So try to come up with some different niches.

Well there are dozen other factors that lowers your AdSense revenue, but I�m sure if you keep in notice the above discussed points then you won�t have any problem and you will be flying high with your revenue.

Complete Guide To Make Money With Event Based Niche Blogs

Hello Friends, First of all Belated Happy Valentines Day. Today in this post I will be revealing a secret behind making some large chunks of money with Event Based Blogs. 

You might have heard about Niche blogs, but nowadays a new trend of Event Based Niche Blogs has started. This technique is being used by many clever bloggers, I feel that now its time for you to have success with it. 

What is an Event Based Blog ?

Its quite simple, Event based blogs are the blogs focusing on any upcoming event (Like New year, Valentines day etc) which is specially celebrated all over the world. Its Simple, Create and rank a blog following all the steps and receive tons and tons of organic visits to your blog during the event. 

For example : One of my friend Imran Uddin (Founder of AllTechBuzz) created an Event based blog for "NEW YEAR 2014". There can be many examples seen all over the place. 

I think you all are now well aware of such type of blogs. My friend, who I mentioned about earlier made over 2000$ (yes you've read it right ) in just a week with his blog he created. 

How To Get It Running ?

Now let me tell you the procedure of how to get started with one such blog. Its not very easy as it sounds but once you apply all steps properly then you'll surely get success with it. 

1. Get a domain name related to the event - Make sure you purchase a domain name related to event you are blogging about. 

For example: If you are making a blog on Valentines day itself then your Top Level Domain (TLD) must be like,

"Valetinesday2014.com" or "HappyValentinesDay2014.com" etc etc  

There can be many such names chosen. What actually the benefit of this is that your site will be ranked First whenever someone searches for these keywords specially the exact keywords which are common to your domain name. So this is one part done into making a successful event based site. 

2. Post Title and Content- This is one the most important step that should be carefully followed. If you feel that just having the exact match domain name will take you top, then you're completely wrong. You still have to consider about the content as well as the Title 

Here are Some tips regarding your post

• Your post title should be selected keeping in mind of what people will search. 
• Try to invovle the year in your post title ( REALLY HELPFUL )
• Don't dissapoint readers by posting low quality content. 
• Make sure to do Internal Linking within your posts.   

Let me give you some examples of how the post and the title should look like. Try to make title as such people will search.  

Example 1: Happy New Year Wallpapers 2014

Example 2: Valentines Day 2014 Sms

Example 3: Free HD New Year 2014 Wallpapers 

I hope you understood this, now lets talk about the content. Creating content for such blogs is not at all a Difficult task. It's quite easy, Like in most of some posts you will be needing many pictures ( Wallpapers, designs, Gift Cards, Gif Images etc). So its really easy to collect such images from different search engines or you can create it yourself. I will soon post about how to use pictures from different sites with full rights. But for that you have to wait, so better google it for now. 

One more important thing, try to take your post count to around 20-40. It will take very less time in creating posts and if you create atleast 2 posts a day then you will reach the mark in just 15 days. 

3. Link Building: Now comes the part of link building, apply various techniques of building backlinks back to your blog. Share content on Social Sites and Directory submission sites as well.

Check this post to Get Niche Based Backlinks In No Time

4. SEO: Make sure to do both OFF-Page as well as ON-Page SEO of your site. If you don't know about it you can hire an expert for the work. We can also provide you SEO EXPERTS for this work. 

5. Monetization: The final part of your event based blog is to Monetize your site by Google Adsense (or any other of your choice). Try to follow all the rules of AdSense as no one would like to see a ban on it. If you don't have AdSense and if you're struggling to get one for yourself. Check our AdSense section or Contact us via our contact page.

Extra Tips to Ensure 100% Success

• Use Blogger Platform rather than Wordpress as Blogger platform will help you rank your posts well on top and in no time. 


• Start the work atleast 1 month before the Event.


• Try to run this in partnership with your friend. 


• Make sure to Index every post using Google webmasters as well as other webmaster tools.


• Work with Dedication and don't take it lightly as this topic is quite trending around the blogosphere.

• Atlast Sleep well on the Event night and have a good morning with $$$$ on your Adsense account as well as other affiliate account if you've set any.

We are deciding to make an event based blog in partnership with any of IFTISEO readers ( yes you). So if you are really interested, do contact us. 

I hope I have explained you well about the topic. Please share this with your friends and other bloggers. We always appreciate your valuable comments. Happy blogging and Valentines Day.

Never Get Affected By Google Updates

Never Get Affected By Google Updates

Hello guys, It's Iftekhar here, in this article I�m going to tell you what Google exactly wants from a website nowadays and how to get the best of google. Until 2011 all the website owners were living in a rock, but then Google hit with PANDA update, and due to which many of the websites got affected. Having a good micro niche with a matching domain and just 3-4 articles was no longer a good business model.

Even worse struck when Google came with Penguin updates, and the way we all used to build our websites was no longer valid. Many backlinks that worked before were no longer useful and instead put a negative impact on the website.

Then came Hummingbird update, and this will continue in future

So In this short report I will be teaching some methods by which your site will be NEVER affected by future google updates. Not only this, You will be learning on how to get PROFIT from them.

THE PROBLEM

If you want a passive regular income for years to come, with little to no work form your side, then building and monetizing niche websites is the best option available for you. No doubt in that.

That�s because everyday people are searching for solutions to their problems on Google and desperately click on ads that says �Quick FIX� or so. Its not only just Adsense that you can use to make money, you can also sell products as an affiliate and much more.

READ MORE on it:- 5 Easiest Methods to Earn money from your Website

But the problem is 85%+ of people run these niche sites in a completely wrong way, and then they themselves get confused asking questions to themselves IS SEO DEAD? etc etc.  

Let me tell you that right now SEO is Alive and Kicking.

The past Google updates are actually a good thing for you and your business. They leveled the playing field, so that you can easily move ahead from the crowd, provided you have the right tools and knowledge.

THE SOLUTION 

Here are the steps:

Step 1 � Niche Research

This is the most important step, as picking the right niche can make or break success of your website.

Make sure the niche you select has a lot of POTENTIAL buyers who are eager to learn and get more. This can be done with the help of many tools but I wouldn�t recommend you to buy one, rather just look up google for it.

Apart from this you also will need a good domain name that is easy to remember. EMDs (Exact Match Domains) no longer works and get hurt your rankings.

Step 2 � Building The Website

Once you pick your domain and niche after a good research, its time to build your website. Remove the misconception of just putting 2-3 articles and relax methods.

You need a clear strategy, make sure your website has Google Analytics and Webmaster tools integrated, they are the best source of getting keyword information.

If you want ot know what your audience is interested in, check out some of the top ranking sites within your niche. You�ll get plenty of ideas for new articles, contents and categories. Harvest and Build a list of keywords that you can use to write articles about. You can do that by Google Adwords Keyword tool. There are many factors to consider when deciding keywords to make articles, but the most important is common sense.

When writing content, it�s a paramount that you have an appealing headline. Make sure keyword density is around 1%-5% and also that you�re correctly using header tags H1- H3. Use internal Linking whenever possible, but most important thing is post regularly.

What about the length of the content ?

A few years ago, the concept that 500 words is all you need was spreading like a plague. Let me tell you, if you�re planning on having every piece of article the exact (or close) amount of words (be it 500, 600, 1000 etc.) you�re seriously going to have a bad time.

You should always ignore your word count and just write as much as you feel you should. What happens is, this way you will create a natural diversity with your articles, exactly what google needs. ( You won�t get this, but when google updates this will be a plus point of your articles.) With all articles with same word count, it will raise a red flag.

Step 3 � Website Promotion

Finally now that we have a web asset that respects all guidelines laid by Google for on page optimization, its time to look for some off-page works.

READ THIS:-How to Get Traffic From Forums

Keep in mind that automated backlinks no longer work and affects your site in a negative manner.

However, video backlinks are a great way to build quality SEO juice and even traffic, if the video gets viral.

A few backlinks that I know and work�s really well are from PDF sharing sites, Press releases, Infographics and even Podcasts. However I�d say guest posting is by far the best way to get an important backlink. Although it may be hard to find but they�re worth it.

Another important thing is that you should develop a Facebook page, Twitter Profile and G+ community, which you can use to direct your likers or members to your website and get an increase in traffic.

Creating AdSense Ads for Websites or Blogs

Conclusion

I know you will be feeling that is it over, is it this much only. Yes you�re right, these are the only steps that you need to follow in a regular manner to remain unaffected by google updates. People actually don�t follow these steps and they�ve experienced the results.  

Remember the primary thing you need is quality, and that should reflect on your website (layout, content) as well as backlinks.

In this way you will be never affected by google updates.

Hopefully I�ve helped you better understand how you should build your website from now on. Please share this with your friends and relatives.
