When i was new in the world of internet, i tried my hands on free website/wapsite/webspace providers. Ofcourse i used to do it for pleasure and getting even a single visitor was a big thing for me. I used to read articles by fellow wap/webmasters where they unleashed the secrets of getting huge amount of visitors. To the top of the list was "Adding site to google/search engines" and it holds true even now. Later i heared about the "blog" trend which was going on web. I got a free webspace and hosted a wordpress blog there. I tried couple of times adding my blog to google and other search engines but couldnt find even a clue about my site in those search engines. I gave up and started adding my blog to directories and some of them accepted my site. I even added my blog to some of the social bookmarking sites and blog communities. About a week later what do i see? my blog is indexed by google and other search engines. I was surprised, when i manually tried adding my blog to search engines it was not included even after a month but when i added it to directories, social bookmarking sites and blog communities, asap they include it !.
Surely there was some mechanism after this.

2 months before i tried to experiment a little bit on this. I created two blogs at blogspot.com, both were on different niche and i wrote 5 articles each for both. One was kept dormant but the other was added to social bookmarking site and blog communities. After that i added both the blogs to google. After a week the 2nd blog was included in search engines but the 1st one showed no sign.
What does this mean?
The search engines cosider how well exposed you site is on the web.
If your site link is present on some other websites, search engine may index your website when it comes accross your link on those sites.

So if you site/blog is new follow these steps to get your blog quickly indexed in search engines :
1)Make your site ready to be published.
2)Add it to social bookmarking sites, blog communities and directories.
3)Now add you site to major search engines or use ping tools.

Is your account terminated for invalid click activity in an ad network?
There will be large number of people who may have gone through this and the few ones who are innocent will be the most frustrated !. Suddenly you get a mail one morning from advertising network saying your account has been terminated. You wish to contact them but there is no way you can contact them. Even if you find one there is no reply ! If you belong to the category other than those belonging to innocents group, seriously there is nothing to discuss for you. I have seen many people seeking for advice for how they can get an unban pass from the ad network and if its not possible which are the alternatives.
Ive no plans of talking about the alternatives, so what do i want to discuss in this post? If you would ask me for alternatives i would say "google dude!", you will find a big list there thats because clever people have already written on that ;).
The base question of my discussion is "Is the method employed for account termination correct?". Basically account termination occurs when many or continuous click arrive from same ip address or a same cookie user. In many cases it would be true that in the urge of increasing their account balance the account holders themselves must have made those clicks, but what if someone else have done it. Then you may fall in the innocent category. Dont you think if your rival knows about this scheme he will surely try to destroy this income source?. what then, will your appeal for unban be accepted? No for sure, unless you have a reputed site.
I think the basis on which the accounts are terminated should be changed. If multiple clicks from same ips are encountered, the clicks shouldnt be counted so the advertisers dont have to pay for those. Im writing on this issue because i dont want to see my account getting terminated this way, when there are so many predators moving around me :P .
Surely there is no loss in this scheme right?
What do you think about this matter ?

Though there are many ways to get traffic, the traffic comes most from search engine.
Search engine should be exploited to the greatest extent possible. The techniques like LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) has changed the way search engines used to present the users with appropriate search results. LSI means search engines have become more intelligent and now think like human beings. So even you need to stop thinking like saerch engines and think like humans. Its not a joke :P, im serious!

Before the search engines were just keyword oriented but now in addition to that they are also meaning oriented! You must have observed many time you do not get appropriate results when you search for something. Now the LSI takes care of that in sense its algorithm is designed in such a way that it goes closest possible to the human mind. It figures out what a human would actually wants to search when he typed those keywords i.e. all the related content to that keyword should also be taken care of.

So while writing posts and selecting titles for them you should take neccessary care like :
1)Thinking in visitors point of view what you would type in search box to reach this page and accordingly select that keyword as a title for the post.
2)Dont stick to only to your niche but also write on topics related to your niche

Try it and you would see your site climb up the results.
