What does your title say to your reader is the very first thing that brings them to read it further. There are zillions of web pages out there, so do you think that they will read it just because you wrote it, unless you’re Mukesh Ambani or people of that category!

The very first step you must put in is to decide a “killer” title. That blows out, other’s! I was looking to the stories that hit front page of digg, and found one thing in common, an outstanding title. Top diggers know it very well, they can catch you attention even when you are looking through the upcoming stories section.

I had a privilege to talk to one of the social media mavens and an active digger, Tal Siach, who told me that title were one of the most important things for any story to get noticed and to hit the front page (of course the content needs to be good as well) .He also listed a few examples of stories and their titles that hit front page often.

1. Lists do Wonders: Top 10 Reasons, 5 Simple Ways. These kinds of lists do wonders and are the most favorite among the diggers and hit the front page often. You must use numbers, this helps in catching the attention of the voter.

2. How Tos/Why does: How to Make a Rocket. These are the second type of stories that hit the front page often.

3. Political Issues: Jon Stewart reacts to press coverage of Hillary crying. This is yet again a kind of title that catches your attention.

4. Hot News: Snow Falls in Baghdad For First Time in 100 Years. You see how does the digger has used the numbers in this eye catchy title.

5. Business Deals: Starbuck Vs MacDonalds. These kind of stories are also very eye catchy.

6. Science-Fiction: UFOs Sited Over San Diego on New Years Eve. Got the attention, got the vote!

7. Best of Stuffs: Best of Adobe Photoshop Tutorials. Again a type of story that get hit.

8. Microsoft and Bill Gates: Why Microsoft Must Control One Laptop Per Child. It seems that any story of Microsoft hit to front page.

9. Apple and Steve Jobs: Same with Apple.

10. Digg and Kevin Rose: And same with Digg. Well diggers just love to read good things about digg.

As you could see from the examples, they have one thing in common. They have a unique and attractive “title”. So you must write a killer title to blow your competition away!

Google AdSense Steps to Success

Google Adsense Pin Without Pin

As you may know, we'll send you a Personal Identification Number (PIN) by standard mail when your account first reaches $10 in earnings. This PIN is used to help verify publisher accounts and addresses for security purposes. We often receive messages from publishers concerned about what to look for in the mail, and when they can expect to receive it. In response, we've created the short video below which we hope will help address these issues. It might not be a Hollywood production but hey...even the greats started small ;)


If you don't receive your first PIN, you can still request up to two more. Please note that aside from verifying your PIN, other holds may apply to your account -- you'll need to remove all holds and generate $100 in earnings before a payment can take place.

Google Ad Sense Earnings/Reports

The report of these link units is not exaggerated

I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of data. I look at my own reports frequently and use channels to track the performance of individual pages and ad units so I can optimize my AdSense experience.

I'm also a fan of AdSense for content link units. As we've mentioned before, these units pack a big punch while conserving your screen real estate and can be a great addition to a page that's already using one of our many other products. We've also been doing a lot of work lately to improve the targeting of link units.

This is why I'm happy to announce that my two loves are now coming together. As of today, we've enhanced your reports so that you can view the performance of link units separately from your other AdSense for content units. Even better, the link unit-specific reports contain more information about your link units. A lot of publishers have been asking us for more statistics on their link units, such as the per-link CTR and the number of click-throughs to the link units results page.

To view your new, improved reports, visit the Advanced Reports page under your Reports tab and select AdSense for content. You'll notice a new option to customize your reports -- 'Choose Units'. A 'Combined' report will look just like the data you're used to seeing in your AdSense for content reports, while choosing 'Ad Units' or 'Link Units' will help you look at things with more granularity.


Please note that data is only available dating back to May 2007. Right now, we're having a little issue where, if you generate a report with a date range starting any earlier than May 2007, our report won't show any data, even if there is data after May 2007. Rest assured that our engineers are aware of the issue and are working to display all available data even if the date range starts before May 2007.

Remember, you're allowed to put up to three link units on any given page in addition to your three regular ad units. With better reporting and improved performance, now is the perfect time to start using link units if you aren't already.

Western Union Payment Method for AdSense

Western Union Payment Method for AdSense

Google Adsense offering a new payment method for some countries. Publishers who located in Argentina, Chile, China (Mainland), Colombia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, or Romania, may change the payment method to Western Union Quick Cash. Western Union is a new form of payment that lets publisher receive the AdSense payments in cash using the worldwide Western Union money transfer service. According to Google AdSense normal payment schedule, payments for publishers will be available for pickup at the local Western Union agent the day after they are issued.

AdSense payments with Western Union is totally free. With this new payment method, publishers will no longer need to wait for a check to arrive in the postal mail. This new payment method can also cut down on bank fees and long clearing times associated with depositing checks.
However, I wonder why Google didn’t make this payment method for worldwide. If they really care about their publisher, they should make it available worldwide.

To exchange the payment method, publisher should keep these important points in mind:

Western Union Quick Cash is only available in Argentina, Chile, China (Mainland), Colombia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, and Romania as mentioned above.

Unfortunately, Google doesn’t support this payment method for business account. This new payment method is currently only available to individual payee names.

To pick up the payment, publisher will need to bring the government-issued ID that will be used to validate the payee name in adsense with the ID.

The payments must be picked up within 35 days of issuance or they will expire. If this case happened, a payment hold will be placed on AdSense account and the payment will be credited back to publisher’s account.

All payments will be made in US dollars, but they may be picked up in your local currency, depending on local Western Union agent that being used by publishers

So, to begin receiving AdSense payments by Western Union Quick Cash, publishers just follow these instructions. What are you waiting for?
