    • Custom Google Search Results Page on Your Wordpress with Adsense Deluxe | 27 Comments

      I was looking at LiewCF’s extensive documentation on how to create a custom Google search results page within your Wordpress blog, and I decided it was just too techy for me.

      So I devised a simpler approach - using Widgets and the Adsense Deluxe plugin. This is an approach that most of us regular folks will be able to accomplish easily, assuming you already have these components:

      • A Google Adsense account and a Wordpress blog :)
      • Wordpress widgets and a widget-compatible theme
      • The Adsense Deluxe plugin installed and activated

      This interesting exercise will produce your own custom Google search results page with your Adsense ads on them, and the best part is that it will appear as part of your overall theme.

      Step1: Create Your Search Results Code in Google Adsense

      Login to your Adsense account and create a new “Adsense for Search” block. Choose “Google Web Search + Site Search” and

      Recommend that you lose the Google image and opt for the Google name in the search button instead. Put the search button beneath the search field like the picture below.

      For search results options, choose “Open results within my own site”. For the URL, you can put something like this:

      www.yourdomain.com/directory/search-results/

      Replace “directory” with the folder you’ve installed Wordpress in. If you have Wordpress installed on the main domain (root) just enter something like this:

      www.yourdomain.com/search-results/

      This is because you will later create a Wordpress page called “Search Results”.

      Step 2: Create Your Search Box Using Text Widgets

      Now if you already have Widgets installed and you’re using a Widget-enabled theme, all you need to do is copy the search codes and put them into a text widget, which you can place right at the top of your sidebar.

      Once you’ve generated this text widget, it may look something like this (depending on your theme):

      googlesearch-03.jpg

      Now you have your search form up, so you can start to create your custom results page.

      Step 3: Create A New Adsense Deluxe Block

      Now, the funny thing with Wordpress is that be default, you cannot insert Javascript or PHP codes into posts, unless you have some kind of plugin that enables it.

      The Adsense Deluxe plugin not only enables you to add Adsense codes into your posts and pages; it can also be used to hold and insert Javascript. Therefore, it can also be used to hold your customs search page code.

      Voila!

      Go to Options > Adsense Deluxe and create a new block. You can call is “googlesearch” and insert the codes into the settings.

      Now you’ll have a custom code that you can use in your page.

      Step 4: Create A New Page for Search Results

      Go to Write > Pages and create a new page, naming it Search Results. Within the page, insert your new Adsense Deluxe code that will generate the custom search results page. Your code, depending on what you named it, may look something like this:

      < !– adsense#googlesearch –>

      You can also add stuff to the beginner or the end of the page, for example some text, banners or other elements. Save the page.

      Step 5: Test Your New Custom Search Page

      Now you can test your custom Google search results page. Mine looked something like this:

      So there you have it: a simple, easy way to add Google custom search results to you page. Watch your Adsense income soar, all while maintaining your site navigation and layout.

      Remember though that the Google search tool will only return results from your site that are already indexed in Google, so it may not be suitable for new sites.

      Enjoy, and if you want to mater Wordpress I recommend you take a look at the Wordpress Adsense System and our list of tools and plugins.

        • Using Articles to Get Traffic to Your Blog | 13 Comments

          When it comes to getting traffic to your blog, enough is never enough. In fact the more traffic you get, you directly and indirectly make more money.

          There are tons of ways to get more traffic to your blogs, but one of the most effective is to write and publish articles related to your market.

          The trick to writing articles is to write them constantly, which really sounds easier than it is. If you’re not outsourcing the articles, you need to write and publish at least one new articles every two weeks.

          One of the easiest ways to do this is to look back at some of the posts you’ve written, and turn these into full-fledged articles. Generally, this would mean anywhere between 500 - 800 words. Anything shorter and you’re likely to be rejected by most article directories. Anything longer is still ok, but would mean your readers get bored.

          But writing the article is really just one part of the traffic building campaign. You still need to publish your article to as many sites as possible.

          There’s one service I currently use to publish and syndicate all my articles, which is Article Marketer. The service will syndicate all your articles to other article directories, and depending on your niche, this could mean 20 - 300 instant back links to your website. Some of your articles, if they are good, will end up in other people’s ezines and blogs.

          With a free account at Article Marketer, you will only get distribution on the “partial list”, but an upgrade for a reasonable amount of money will give you unlimited article submissions to a list of more than 5,000 websites.

          Each article you submit comes with reporting features so you can check exactly how many sites have published your articles.

          articlemarketer2.jpg

          All your articles will be examined and approved by a human editor. If you don’t upgrade it takes up to two weeks, but upgrade authors can expect 24-hour approval of their articles. You can post as many articles as your want, using any name you want.

          Some of you may have many websites and not comfortable with using your own name for some of the articles you publish, so this is the ideal service for you.

          If you’re marketing a lot of content-based sites and you’re looking for long-term results, is the cure.
