SENuke is basically a piece of software developed for advanced link building and online marketing purpose. It is currently available for a monthly subscription of $127 for which you get a single user license. You can also avail a Free trial offer of SENuke before you go ahead and subscribe to their software. I just got my license last month and been using it for extensive link building all these days. I should say, I’m amazed with the results that I’m seeing with many of my new websites are ranking well on Google (1st page and 2nd page) for medium-high keywords. These websites are just about two months old and never had a dose of any incoming links or SEO tricks to them. The links that i built using SENuke are the first set of incoming links and 30 days later, Yahoo explorer shows about 522 incoming links to one of my site which is ranking #1 on Google for 10 million search result keyword.

While, SENuke has a lot of built in features, I’d like to list out a few of them that i use quite often.

1. Automatic account creation – You can create accounts automatically across several web 2.0 sites, social bookmarking sites, video submission sites and article directories. You will not even have to enter those captchas as they have an inbuilt script running to help you bypass them.

2. Automatic linkwheel creation – I’ve already discussed about how i succeeded with linkwheel in one of my previous post. With SENuke, you can form a link of web 2.0 properties which will link back to your target url and other properties within the wheel. While there are a lot of strategies and ways to go about designing your wheel, I stick on to my own set of properties and linking structure that i like.

3. Profile Nuke – This feature of SENuke is kind of close to spamming as it leaves your links in various websites where they allow you to add url’s using HTML and BB codes. I personally avoid using this feature for most of my white hat SEO sites but i would still say its a pretty nice feature if you use it in a proper way.

SENuke has been built on a robust platform and has not reported any bugs or major problems so far. I also get update alerts regularly as any reported bugs are corrected almost immediately. To conclude, I would highly recommend SENuke for anyone who is looking to build incoming links quickly.

I’m gonna share my success story of using link wheel to get quick backlinks to your website there by boosting your SERP. I’m sure you are aware that if you want to rank well in Google, you need backlinks to your website with the desired keyword as anchor text. Now getting back links can be done by several methods which include blackhat, white hat or grey hat. But if you would like to see some changes in your SERP quickly, then link wheel is one of the best methods to go about. I decided to start a website for one of the popular TV shows and wanted to get some traffic on it so that I can monetize it quickly.  Though i bookmarked and submitted my websites to a lot of social networking sites, it did not make much difference as they only brought very little traffic with no use. I also realized that the website which ranked number 1 in Google was having a very good alexa rank and was getting a lot of daily page views. I decided that only way to go about this is to try and rank atleast in the top 3 positions for the same keyword. I decided to try this out using a link wheel method which is as follows:

Link wheel diagram

A link wheel is basically a list of web 2.0 properties like ( blogger, wordpress, tumblr etc.) linked together and linked with the core website. In this case, the core website will be the TV site that I wanted to rank well on Google. I picked up 6 web 2.0 sites namely blogger, wordpress, squidoo, tumblr, live journal and quizilla.

Now if you want to create a link wheel for yourself, you can use any other web 2.0 properties that you like but it is suggested that you atleast use about 6 spokes in a wheel to intensify the link juice.  So first I created accounts with each of those websites and started off my linkwheel with blogger blog. I posted a short article on one of the episodes with the two outbound links – one to the TV site and another pointing to the quizilla post. Next, you will need to create an entry in livejournal and link the post to both the TV site and the tumblr site. Please note that when you start off with blogger post first, you may not have a post already @quizilla to link. So you may want to come back again and edit this post to complete the link wheel chain.

Now that you are done with forming the link wheel, its time to let Google know about your web 2.0 posts so that the crawlers can index them. I use pingomatic for pinging each of my properties but there are tons of other resources that you can use. You can also bookmark and submit RSS feeds of each of the web 2.0 peroperties to gain additional exposure and link juice. The key here in building a link wheel is to automate the whole process there by not spending a lot of time in creating your entries and submiting them to bookmarking websites.

Now to enhance the power of your link wheel, you can form a link wheel around each of the web 2.0 properties used in the diagram above. For eg. you can create a link wheel with the blogger blog as the core website and pass more authority and link juice to your TV site.

Here is a list of web 2.0 properties that can be used for your link wheel building:

• Quizilla
• Blogger
• Weebly
• Squidoo
• Vox
• Blogsome
• Help.com
• Xanga
• Hubpages
• Zimbio
• Wetpaint
• Wikidot
• Twine
• Docstoc
• blinkweb
• ehow
• Ezine
• Goarticles
• webs
• blog.com
• Zimbio
• Tumblr
• Livejournal

There are a lot of ways to make money online but it really depends upon you to decide which way will work the best for you. For some people, CPA’s work very well and some make 5 figure income through Google Adsense. For me, Google Adsense has been the best source of income so far apart from affiliate marketing and some more contextual advertising. I just thought I should share some method that i follow to find a particular niche and dominate that niche by capturing the first 3 places in Google search results for the prime keyword.

• How to find a niche market ?

Though this is the first and most important task of planning your income stream, it has become increasingly difficult to identify a niche that has potential to earn money out of them. There are several tools which can help you in analyzing the search trends for various markets but I personally use Google Adwords keyword tool to find a market and later drill down the broad/exact keywords to determing my target keywords. For eg. Lets say you are planning to target the dog training market and you found out a set of 10 keywords that do really well on Google. Now if you found so much of information from the keyword tool, chances are high that so many people like you would have already started targeting that keyword. Now what I do here is that, I try to go one stop ahead of the high performing keyword to find out a long tail keyword in the same niche which gets a lot of searches but less or moderatre competition. Now if you ask me how i get this information, Just go to google and search for dog training. If you notice, Google would show a list of related searches at the end of Page 1. Now make a note of all those keywords and run them on Google adwords tool. Now you already have a strong hand by selecting keywords that are HOT in that niche. From your Google Adwords tool, select any 5 keywords and those will be your targeted keyword that you want to rank high on Google.

• How to rank well in Google ?

If you want to rank well in Google for a particular keyword, you need lots of banklinks (Quality) pointing to your website with the targeted keywords as anchor text. To do this, I usually use web 2.0 properties and create high quality targeted links which will add some link juice to my main website and also funnel some traffic through bookmarks. It is important that you spread the link builind process across your 5 targeted keywords equally so that it looks like a natural link. If you are going to use the same keyword in the anchor text.

Apart from creating links through web 2.0 properties and articles, I also use comment kahuna ( a free software to post comments on hundreds of do-follow blogs) to get a lot of links back to my main website. This way, I’m spreading out the sources of all my links so that they  dont look biased towards social networking sites and web 2.0 sites.

• How to increase CTR?

Once you have worked on building backlinks, traffic should automatically follow to your website. If you are ranking high in Google for a HOT keyword, you have almost succeeded in making good money from your website. When users come to your website, you want them to notice your ads without making them feel too reluctant about clicking on it. If your website has a white background and you are adding a Google ad with black background and orange links, no one is going to click on it. The secret here is to blend the ad to the design and theme of your website. Some of the best performing Google ad formats for me are -  Link units ( 5 horizontal units ) , Leaderboard header ad, 300×250 sidebar image ad.

Based on 5% conversions and $1/click average, you should be getting $5 per 100 visitors per site per day, with not too much effort once they’re built and indexed. If you build two per week, even with these minimum numbers, you’ll hit $100/day in just a matter of months.

Gmail had recently introduced new keyboard shortcus for accessing your e-mails and other features within Gmail. If you did not read about this earlier, this post will walk you through some of the recent upgrades and added features of Gmail.

Keyboard shortcuts

Gmail had recently intoruced new keyboard shortcut for accessing your e-mails and other features within Gmail. If you did not read about this earlier, this post will walk you through some of the recent upgrades and added features og Gmail.

Keyboard shortcuts:

Now you don’t need to move around with your mouse for checking mails or to compose a new message. Gmail has set up a comprehensive list of shortcuts which can instead do the job for you. You can find the entire list of keyboard shortcuts here in Gmail blog

Integrated calendar within your Gmail account:

Now with Gmail, you can organize your day’s schedule in a much interactive way. The Gmail calendar is now designed to work close with Gmail and you can activate them by using the Google calendar application gadget from Gmail labs ( See on top ). This gadet is really helpful in picking up your daily agenda from the Gmail sidebar itself there by making things even more easier.

Gmail Inbox automation:

Gmail did not have an option to create an archive folder to store all your important/personal mails. Now with the updated feature, Gmail has brought in a labels with which you can organize your mails into a set of folders or tags just by dragging and dropping the market mails. The keyboard shortcut for labels is now ” l ” which when pressed opens your labels drop down menu. Once you start archiving a lot of similar mails, you may want to consider adding a filter settings instead of manually dropping each mail to the relevant label folders.

Some noteable suggestions that Gmail could consider updating in future are :

1. Advanced signature options – Currently Gmail does not support multiple type signatures which is essential for e-mail marketing.

2. Drag & Drop attachments – It would be a really helpful feature if they could add a functionality that will enable users to drag and file from their desktop or folders to the body area of the gmail to be recognized as a attachment.

3. Return Reciept option – They could also add a feature which when enabled will inform the sender whether the recipient has opened the e-mail or not. This will perhaps prevent a lot of e-mail going un-noticed in the SPAM folder of the recipient.

Hope to see some of these features in Gmail pretty soon !

Twitter is no longer being used for promoting your blog posts and spreading contests but Twitter has gained some serious grounds from the fortune 500 and other big companies across all the industries. A number of companies in the fast growing internet sphere, have started focusing on Twitter to reach their existing customers and potential new clients. They also additionally help them for marketing their product and to reach their target audience at a much faster rate.  With several services like the TwitterROI, these companies are able to brand themselves and reach out the farthest customer within minutes, which their traditional marketing strategy would take at least a month.

When it comes to Twitter it is always not about having  4 digit followers but the level of influence, authority you have among your followers.  For these companies,  these attributes really matter a lot as their main focus is to do business with Twitterers.  Someone might have 100K followers using automated scripts but what actually matters is how many of them actually even read his tweets and visit his profile more than once. We all know that word of mouth is the best form of advertising and also a long lasting marketing strategy which could bring in a chain of business orders/deals within a short span of time. It is estimated that an average pay per tweet for potential Twitterers is around $0.6.

Talking about marketing with Twitter, another major tool is Local bunny. They can automate customer responses over Twitter to create a viral marketing chain for selling products. Read what the bunny has got to tell you:

Hi, I am Bunny, the fastest and most direct way for your customers to access information about your business. Simply enter keywords and responses in to my automated response system and I will do the rest on your behalf.

This autoresponder from Local Bunny can be used to send responses to your customers even when your business hours are over. For example, you’re running a cinema theater and someone wants to find the status of their online ticket booking, they don’t need a customer representative anymore. Just by sending a tweet with the required keyword, they can get all the information they want within minutes. Local Bunny can pick up the query and send an automated response to the tweeter.

No wonder, this kind of a micro-blogging revolution will change the way marketing products have been carried out in the past. It is certain that Twitter will continue to give increased visibility and business opportunities for big companies and individuals as well.

Once again, browsing through some random blogspot, I came across this blogspot baby by name Special Review Articles.  This blog takes me back to the old times in 2006 when i used to blog for money using a blogspot and wordpress free site. Its been almost three years now to understand what blogging is all about and how to master the art of blog writing. I would say im still learning but i do feel a definite difference than what it was before.

This guy seems to be writing articles more related to web technologies and website marketing. I read one of his articles on internet explorer 7 way back in 2008 which apparently seems to be the first post on this blog. Overall i really liked the content but again i feel the design bit is lacking as people really need to get out of using normal blogspot templates and move towards premium templates or atleast those which were converted from wordpress to blogspot. It will really make a difference to the way you present your website to your readers and also increase your potential for Adsense management as with Wordpress, you have more control over what will go where. Good luck guys !

I usually take time to review blogs at random when i came across this particular blog by name layung. It is written and managed by a dynaminc young fellow how is passionate about blogging and internet life. He has been providing a lot of Tutorial on various topics including SEO, PageRank etc there by maintaining his blog with full of useful information. Looks like he has been blogging for quite some time now and he is promoting his website very well. The only thing which worries me is that free domain that he is using with co.cc which will always pull the value of the website down irrespective of whether the content is great or not. I really wish that he migrates to dynamic Worldpress and gets the best out of blogging. I would also like to recommend using cheap hosts @ $2 per month who can allow and withstand a wordpress blog for a while.  Good luck to him

I’m sure you are aware of this website by name associated content which pays you for writing articles. I wanted to learn some tips and tricks for increasing my payout rate per article getting approved. I quickly ran a Google search and ended up with the first few results pointing to digital point forums. No wonder someone was trying to sell a crappy e-book there slashing a $35.99 price tag to it. Skipping through them, I came across this particular forum which had an exclusive section for Associated Content and they were all discussing methods of how to produce genuine articles ( No BH method ) through commonly available sources.

I had always tried hard to make money through AC as it still seves to be the only online source of income for many people who quit their day job. I personally know a couple of friends who are into AC all the time and make a ramping daily income over months.

I also purchased an ebook recently from a different source which had several white hat methods of finding content to kick off your articles. I do not hire people or re-writers to make the articles but write them myself. I do face a bit of rejections but I try to follow up with what they want to get changed. It does’nt work with some reviewers but is possible most of the time.

Some of the tips i would like to share with you are:

1. Dont submit PLR / Ezine / Article base content to them without running through copyscape. You are sure to get banned right away.

2. Dont trust your re-writers ( I recommend writing it yourself) blindly just because the articles they gave you earlier were accepted.

3. Dont try and use multiple accounts. You are inviting the attention of AC mod’s.

4. You can partner with someone in US by providing content to them and expect a commission of 50-70% for approved articles. This works well with most of the web master forums having US guys open for partnerships.

5. Dont submit more than 6-7 articles per day ( Quality articles i mean ).

6. Dont follow all the e-books. 80% of them are just mis-leading you.

Please feel free to contact me for any questions or further tips.

I started blogging way back in June-07 when one of my friend told me that he earns like $100 every month through his blogspot hosted personal blog. I was wondering how someone could earn out of writing in his blog as i thought blog all about personal stuff or sharing what happened in somebody’s day to day life. I took some time to learn what it was all about and how he is making money. I was really impressed the way he made earning $100 per month ( Rs. 4800 ) so simple. It is not a big money but still doesnt hurt to earn $100 when I was still in college where no pocket money was enough.

Coming back home, i signed up for blogger and wrote some crappy 5 posts. After 30 minutes, i signed up for payperpost and socialspark. I thought i would make some $5 before i go to bed. But i was aware of these techy words – PageRank, in-bound links, Alexa ranking, out-bound links, link building… I was declined saying my site is not indexed by Google. Now what is that ? Well, just like finding something that you don’t know, i put those terms inside quotes and googled it to understand what it was all about. Two weeks later, I got accepted to socialspark and soon got offers for paid blog posting. I made $20 and later made around $200 with payperpost within a month. How ? I got PR-3 in Google’s update.

I was able to hand on there for quite sometime ( more than 6 months ) while several updates passed by. Though i was aware that Google will slap you for paid posting, I was least bothered about PR drop. I escalated from $250 per month to over $400 until i came back to PR-0. I was bored of writing 200 word reviews of websites and products that I don’t even know. After paid posting, I looked at a lot of other streams for online income like Ciao, Clickbank etc but did not see success as much as I did with PPP. Later, I came across two wonderful places called Digital point forums and 99designs. I started working on logos and graphics for those $30 contests in DP. I even won some of them which pulled some more interest towards designing. Later tried 99designs where world class designers compete for big money that is anywhere from $300 to $2000 for just designing a logo or website layout.

I still continue to enjoy discovering several ways of making money online and been successful so far. While i will continue to be a freelance designer, I’ve been working towards affiliate marketing and content writing of late.

Rest of it later !

It was just another night at office, busy watching random youtube videos. Most of the videos rated as featured or the most watched/rated are either masala or dumb 30 second clips. This video i picked from one of the related videos was exceptional. This video is all about this pretty girl singing the “Halo” by Beyonce. Man you would definitely agree that her voice is better than the original track. She has got such a deep and strong voice which made me mention her in my blog. The way she sung the word “Halo” where it repeats is just out of World.

LINK TO VIDEO

PS:  My opinion is not biased by her low neck top !

Here is the lyrics of the song:

Remember those walls I built

Well baby they tumbling down

And they didn’t even put up a fight

They didn’t even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

Bridge:
It’s like I’ve been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
It’s the risk that I’m taking
I ain’t never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace
You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

Chorus:
I can’t feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You’re the only one that I want
Think I’m addicted to your light
I swore I’d never fall again
But this don’t even feel like falling
Gravity can’t forget
So pull me to the ground again

Bridge:
Feels like I’ve been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
The risk that I’m taking
I’m never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace
You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

Chorus:
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halooooo ouuuu
Halooooo ouuuu
Ouuuuu ouuuuu ouuuuu

Bridge:
Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace
You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

Chorus:
I can feel your halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
