Google has tweaked its Adsense code so that the Adsense advertisements would not drag the publishers’ webpages. Acknowledging that its Adsense code could delay the loading of webpages by 12 percent on the average, Google has kept its promise and now the new Adsense code could help webpages load faster by half a second or more. This may help Adsense site rank better as Google uses site load times as one of its condition in ranking the site.

In the old Adsense code,  the AdSense javascript would load additional scripts to gather information from the web page where it resided, and send an ad request back to Google. This will delay the loading of the page a little bit.  Now, the new code  will start by creating an iFrame on the publisher’s Web site. The iFrame allows the code to work separately from the webpage, allowing the rest of the page to load without having to wait for the Google code to do its thing.

Google has done extensive testing to make sure that it would work well and easily without publishers having to make any changes. As a publisher, you don’t have to do anything as the change happens automatically.

Currently, the change is occurring globally on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer 8. The company hopes to expand the list of supported browsers soon.

With the advent of iFrames and the HTML5 framework, the door to new adventures and possibilities with these tools in the making of your Facebook Page has reached an enitirely new level. You can now create an entire website on your own Facebook Page. I’m talking complete web sites with multiple pages, with videos, photo galleries, opt-ins, sales pages, landing pages, links, whatever it is that you can do with a web site, you can do it here on Facebook. Wow, interaction with your fan base on Facebook has never been this exciting!

With all these new features and tools available, it is indeed timely and spot on for a complete system that streamlines the whole process of creating and implementing a website on your Facebook Page, to make its grand entrance.

Enter FBMaxed.

This is by far the only Facebook Page system that I know of that utilizes both the iFrames and the dynamic HTML5 framework together. Yes, FBMaxed makes sure that you stay ahead of the curve and even declares that it will future proof your Facebook Page by virtue of its customizable templates. They even double as mobile websites and have been tested on Android, Blackberry, iPhone and iPad!

One thing that really stands out is that this system essentially allows you to custom create two web sites for your Facebook Page. Why two? One is a reveal splash page, meant to be seen by people who have not “liked” your page, while the other is a real, complete web site that is visible only to those that have “liked” your page. As for the reveal splash page, it is, get this, an entire web site by itself. It’s not just a single page with an image and some text; it’s a complete web site where you can include anything you want into it such as videos, lead capture opt-ins, photo galleries, and more! Talk about creating a teaser site to get people to “like” your Facebook Page, so they can get to see the real, complete thing!

I was also very impressed with the three solid customizable templates that comes with FBMaxed. It essentially takes care of all the grunt work in designing and implementing a website on your Facebook Page. What are just some of the things that these templates can do? Opt-ins, PHP email contact forms, HTML5 video, photo galleries… wow, just wow. I’m really tempeted to ask here now, is there something that FBMaxed can’t do?

The icing on the cake, however, is the excellent value-added services that the FBMaxed team is offering to its buyers. They will hold webinars every few days to guide them through the setting up of their very own facebook Page. After every webinar they will hold a question and answer session where people are given a chance to clarify any doubts or uncertainties. These webinars are also posted as downloadable videos so buyers can revisit them anytime they want to, in case they missed out on a webinar or just want to revisit certain topics. And of course, they also have email support to answer your questions and concerns.

All in all, if you are into social media marketing and want to dominate the market and competition, or want to spread brand awareness and keep in constant touch with your fan base on facebook, then FBMaxed is definitely a must.

Over the years, we’ve all been taught that the best way to grow a sizeable mailing list is to give our visitors a great offer they can’t say no to. And the most common way to attract more traffic and readers is to pay or trade with another marketer to have a popup window or hover ad on their site with your offer and hope that the visitors will be intrigued enough to sign up.

It’s called SlideUpAds

SlideUpAds is a unique, eye-catching way to advertise your site across an entire network without having to resort to distracting popups or banners.

Google is trying out new feature, a new layout to their search results. The test was spotted by Patrick Altoft at Blogstorm. It gives a full page previews of the website with a blue background behind the search results when you hover over them. In the preview page, they are highlighting certain parts of the page in orange and provide a snippet of the information. This means to say that they know which part of the page a piece of the text is located.

This may or may not be a permanent feature in Google search. But if it does become a search feature in Google search, it also means that your website design plays an important part in getting clicks to your site. Website design will affect clickthroughs.

If you thought starting an online biz was expensive, you are wrong! It can be VERY  cheap…And I’m talking about dimes, NOT dollars.

In one of my previous articles, I have written about the different type of blogging platforms such as Blogger, Typepad, Moveable Type, LiveJournal and Wordpress. In this article I wish to talk on Wordpress as this is more superior compared to the others.

Wordpress is free for everyone to use and it can be hosted for free or self-hosted. Free hosting can be obtained from www.wordpress.com. All you need to do is to open an account with them and start our own blog for free. If you want more flexibility to work around your blog and turn your blog into a money making machine, you can opt for self-hosted Wordpress blog. For self-hosting, you must get a hosting company to host your blog. I strongly recommend Hostgator as they have c-panel which makes things very easy to use. You can download your Wordpress from www.wordpress.org for free and get it hosted at Hostgator.

Wordpress is open-source and it is free and it is constantly being developed and improved by hundreds of programmers around the world. It is easy to use and can be easily enhanced with add-ons which are called plugins. All these plugins are available for free too.

If you need help, there is this video presentations called Wordpress Videos which will take you by the hand and guide you through step by step from how to register for a domain name , how to get your blog hosted at Hostgator, to posting your first blog post and many more topics. Every beginner will benefit from this guide and soon you will be a pro.

Google has recently introduced a new Google Search Option which gives users more control over their search results. This new search option allows users to “filter” their search results.

Users can select to view from a time frame of “anytime”, “recent results”, “the past 24 hours”, “the past week” or the “past year”. There is also an option to sort by date or relevance of the data, images from the page, more text  or just standard results.

Also available is the searches for related results in standard view or view in a more visual way called Wonder Wheel.

When a user performs a search on Google, there is a link under the search box which says “Show options”. When you click on this link, a left side navigation menu will appear which allows you to choose the options mentioned above.

With these new features, will SEO be affected? Is there another new algorithm to be looked into in order to get good ranking in the search results? Just to take some example, in order to get good ranking using video option, obviously you need to have video content in your page. To rank in forums searches, you have to have forum participation. And for reviews, you may have to get your products reviewed as often as possible by others or you may want to conduct reviews of other products on your site.

Well, these are just some strategies that may increase your chances. It is hard to know what Google is up to.

If you are an active internet user, you most probably have heard the name Twitter. Twitter is design with the purpose of helping friends, family, colleagues to keep in touch via the exchange of simple and frequent messages and answers to one simple question “What are you doing ?” The message is limited to only 140 characters which is short and effective enough to get the message through. Twitter helps you stay connected to your friends and always know what they are doing.

Twitter has been growing by leaps and bounds lately. From business perspective,  Twitter is being used by many businesses to drive traffic to their sites or blogs. You just have to post a “tweet” whenever you have a new post on your blog and all your friends and followers will instantly be notified. When any of your followers reply to your tweet, their followers can see their reply and soon you will have a viral stream of traffic to your blog.

If you want to jump into the latest craze in the net and drives traffic to your blog, you may not want to give Twitter a miss. To make things easier, there is this plugin for Wordpress blog which enables you to tweet automatically every time you have  your blog updated. The good news is it is FREE of charge with no strings attached. You can sign up for it at Tweet My Blog. Once installed and activated, every time you post an update on your blog, Tweet My Blog plugin will automatically post a tweet with a complete full link back to your blog.  Not only that, you can activate a Tweet My Blog widget that will generate Twitter feed to your blog which will add updated content for your blog.

Google being the giant in the search business has kept its search ranking algorithm a well kept secret and even with that, users will try all ways to unveil the secret and cybercriminals have been using blackhat SEO techniques to manipulate the search rankings.

Initially they were marginally successful and manage to make their newly created webpage rank quite well. But as time goes by, they have become very effective. A reporter has reported in one of his article that while researching for news story, all his five top results have led to fake pages.

It looks like Google’s top secret is no more a secret. At one time, manipulators can only guess how Google algorithm works. Now it seems that there is no more guessing games.

Very clearly, if Google fails to tackle this manipulation, users will lose trust and Google may soon see the end of its grand old days. A Googler has revealed that a ranking change is pending to put an end to spam of this kind.

Google’s famous algorithm has performed better than any other at weeding out spammy webpages and malicious results. But back then, the version of the Web was more static. The live Web presents some new challenges and lets see how Google can overcome this problem.
