Scottish bazillionaire Brian Souter made headlines this week when he pointedly accused Google of censoring him because his site dropped in the SERPs. Said Sir Brian, “It’s not Google’s place to decide which sites we can see and those we can’t.”

These complaints happen every day, actually; stop by the Google Webmaster Forum and pick one of the dozens threads accusing Google of arbitrarily penalizing or deindexing a site. They surface daily. Most of these complaints don’t get this kind of exposure, though.

The common theme in the majority of the complaints seems to be that webmasters haven’t looked at their site objectively in an effort to determine what they might have done to cause the issue. Often, the problems are obvious and fixable.

Timing and Bite of the Evil Panda

Sir Brian fell back several pages in the SERPs on August 13. Souter claimed that his site had “mysteriously disappeared,” but he still had 46 pages indexed, so he hadn’t been removed by Google.

Is it any coincidence that Google officially launched Panda internationally on August 12, the day before Sir Souter’s ranking dropped? I think not.

Until yesterday, you could find an exact duplicate of Souter’s site at www.briansouter.com.14feb-youth.com/; it was removed sometime overnight.

Your Baby is Ugly

No one wants to hear it, I know, it’s cruel. But it is what it is. Souter’s site is clunky, old, and not user-friendly at all.

In the generation of me, what are you doing to attract me, your reader, to your site and make it easy for me to find what I’m looking for, Sir Brian?

You have all of this information about Stagecoach in different links within your Profile page, but I had no idea it was there until I actually visited the Profile page. A dropdown menu on the main navigation would give me some clue as to what your site contains and why I should want to stay and keep reading.

Few Backlinks & Social Presence Lacking

Your website isn’t a billboard; you can’t just stick it up and leave it for 10 years and hope for the best. Millions of others are making an effort to meet the needs of their audience and stay current.

The online landscape is constantly changing and webmasters have to make at least some semblance of an effort to keep up… even if they feel entitled because of who they are.

Rankings Dropped? What You Should Do First

If your ranking has suddenly dropped or you believe it might have been removed from Google’s index, do at least the following things before throwing on your tinfoil hat and assuming the Intrawebz are out to get you:

• Do a Google search for site:yourwebsite.com with your URL to see if your site is still indexed. If you get results, you haven’t been removed; your ranking has dropped for some reason. If you’ve been removed, you need to find out why and apply for re-inclusion at Webmaster Central once you’ve cleaned up your problem.
• Do a Google search for “yourwebsite.com” with your URL in quotations. You should be in the top 10 results. If your site appears back on page four or five, you have most likely been penalized by Google.
• Have you a bought or exchanged links?
• Have you hired or otherwise allowed someone else to make changes to your site, and do you understand what they did? If you were ranking really well for a time and suddenly dropped, you need to find out if they were using black hat tactics such as cloaking on your site.
• Look at your site objectively. Better yet, have someone else go over it for you. Are you giving Google the information it needs to crawl and rank your site for the terms you’re after? Is your site easy to navigate and user friendly? Be honest, the only person you’re hurting by wearing blinders is yourself.

Search Engine Manipulation?

Sir Brian Souter released a statement this morning asking webmasters to contact him if their sites have been blocked by Google, seemingly unaware that his own site, in fact, isn’t blocked at all. Is he ever in for a treat!

I suspect he’s about to get a flood of emails, 95 percent of which will be from webmasters whose sites were legitimately penalized or removed for things they could simply fix. It’s always easier to throw the problem in someone else’s lap than to admit that yes, your baby is, in fact, ugly.

Have you ever search the google for any of the following keywords :

Make Money,Make Money Online,Earn Money Online,Making or Earning Money at Home Business Work on the Web

Do you know you can Earn Money On Net For FREE!!!

Well there are many resources and articles on net which tell you how to earn money on net.But most of then don’t work well.

You can find whole web sites are made on the topics like
“Make Money Online,Earn Money at Home Business and Work”
OR
“Earn Lots of Money Online With The Best Free Home Based Business Opportunity Of The World”

All these sites looks very promising. But they are just earning money for the owners of these sites.

They are using it for marketing purpose and making you people fool by wasting both your money and time .

If you has ever participated in any such program then you must be agree with me that earning money is not such a easy task.

1.)   Does it really possible to earn money online

Yes , It is possible to make money online.But it need hard work form your end .don’t think you can make good amount of money by just clicking some link or reading mails.

If you got a web site then you can earn some money by spreading your business or by ADS.

It is batter to use you mind for making money then to depends on some ready made solution.

There is no Ways to Make Fast Easy Quick Money Online Today. making Quick Money is every one’s dream but this dream can’t be full filled without hard work.

Many Internet companies pay you to surf the web, read emails, visit web sites or sign up for free offers on the internet. It is natural to get attracted towards such an offers. but after trying these most of people find earn money is not that easy as shown by these sites.

If you earn some then there is no guaranty of payment.you may end up with just thinking about money, money, money.

2.)   What program should I try

Well If you are located in US then there are many program which promises to give easy money.But as i don’t belong to US i hasn’t tested these .

But speaking to International People it does not really work .

If you are a WebMaster then you could try following:

1. Google adsense : that’s my Favorites .I use google adsense on this site also. This is the only program that has work for me till now .
   But if this work for me then it is not necessary that it will work for you also . If you has informative site then you can really make money threw this program. It is much batter than Pay per click or pay per impression or pay per lead program.
2. Try to sell some products threw you web site to earn money that is related to your web site.

By choosing wrong program you may end up by spending more money then you are earning.

There is no way to tell how much money you will earn .
You will earn money according to you own work.

You want to earn more out of your blogs right? Obviously yes and you can make that possible. There are so many options to go. One powerful among them is using advertising networks like Adsense and Yahoo publisher. Whatever may be the network; there are again 2 major options available. One is text ads and the other Image ads. Which one to choose? Which will earn more? Still, there is so much of confusion around this. You can’t deny that, right? No one is clear on this. Yes, even Google itself is not clear on this issue or I can say this confusion. Sorry Google knows, but they won’t disclose J Let’s discuss some of the positive and negative trends with both Text and Image ads. First let us see what Google saying on this confusion. While we can’t make any guarantees about the earnings potential of image or text ads, we believe that image ads will prove to be a high-performing option for publishers looking to monetize their pages. In fact, we show image ads when they have a higher value to you than the corresponding set of text ads that might otherwise run in the same slot. Finally Google is saying that they will display the ads which will earn you more. Text or Image, whatever may be type of ad, they will try to help you earn more. That’s fine, let’s analyze which is best as per our knowledge levels. Text Ads Analysis: * More than one ad on ad units * Possibility of getting clicked on at least one link * Possibility of hiding and mixing it with the content with colors * Possibility of getting relevant ads on site * Chance to get Maximum CTR Image Ads Analysis: * Single and attractive ad per unit * Possibility of getting more clicks with the more clickable area on image * Less chance to get relevant ads on site * No chance to have custom color ads I found a good discussion on Digital point forum about this issue and you can see most of the people sharing their experiences. I read each and every response and found that maximum percentage of people are voting / suggesting for text ads. So, what’s your experience? Which would you recommend? Share with us! Happy Blogging!
