If you have just started a new website, it is highly recommended that you work on the original, unique and quality contents of your site. Write about the topics you are passionate about, or feel that you know a lot about. This could be your personal experience or technical expertise. Write as if you are telling a story or explaining a solution to a problem. Many people are looking for an answer to something, or entertaining resources.</p>
<p>Some of the Google <em>must-haves</em> are listed below that can help you track your website visitors, their origin, earning and stats:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Google Analytics" href="http://www.google.com/analytics/" target="_blank">Google Analytics</a>: This free service generates detailed statistics about the visitors to a website. It can track visitors from all referers, including search engines, impressions, pay per click campaigns, landing pages, entry and exit pages, how long the visitors stayed etc. It is a powerful tool to help you assess where the traffic is originating from and where you can improve more.</li>
<li><a title="Google Webmaster Tools" href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/tour/tour1.html" target="_blank">Google Webmaster Tools</a>: Google Webmaster Tools provides a free and easy resource to make a site more google friendly, how google bots crawl your site, top search queries, position your website showed up for certain keywords. It also gives detailed information on broken links, duplicate titles and description and any other issues with a website. It gives tons of information on how to make a website a successful venture.</li>
<li><a title="Google Adsense" href="https://www.google.com/adsense/login/en_US/?gsessionid=TFAK6S5h1vY" target="_blank">Google Adsense</a>: If you own a website, you must have heard about Google Adsense. It is probably one of the most popular revenue generating tools available online. You have to have an account in order to display google ads on your website. It is pretty smart to figure out the niche of your website and to display appropriate ads.</li>
<li><a title="Webmaster Guidelines" href="http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35769&amp;sourceid=aso&amp;subid=ww-en-et-asblog_2008-09-12&amp;medium=link#quality" target="_blank">Google Webmaster Guidelines</a>: Make sure to keep your website in compliant with Google terms and policies in order to keep using any of their services. Not all the websites are approved to run their revenue generating programs. Read them from time to time as the rules may vary with time. There are many adsense optimization tools that you can use to make google ads on your site more effective.</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember, advertisers like to advertise their services and products on quality websites. Your earning potential goes up as the advertisements find that you are sending them high quality leads. Of course, this will take time, patience and lot of effort on your part, but if you keep doing it religiously, it will pay off.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sandbox Effect is basically a standard followed by Google Search Engine to rank the newly registered domains. It has been observed that until Google feels the stability of certain website for couple of months and deems it appropriate to start ranking, the site is not indexed in the search engine.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thinknearn.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/gsandbox1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-121" title="google sandbox" src="http://www.thinknearn.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/gsandbox1.jpg" alt="" width="131" height="96" /></a></p>
<p>Many believe that Google utilized this sandbox effect to cut down on rampant spamming, to discourage spam websites. Most of these websites were eventually banned, but still they somehow managed to create new websites and rank high for some particular keywords for couple of weeks. Sandbox Effect helps getting rod of the spam websites, while the ones that continue to improve and make regular changes to the contents, start appearing in the search engine rankings at some point.</p>
<p>You can check if your site is in the Google sandbox or indexed already by using this <a title="Position Finder" href="http://www.webtoolhub.com/tn561372-position-checker.aspx" target="_blank">position finder</a> tool.</p>
<p>If you do become victim of this practice, do not wait and watch. Take action. Here are some tips you can try to improve your chances to remove your site from the sandbox effect:</p>
<ul>
<li>Avoid deep linking your posts in your web page. Limit them to at the most 3rd level linking. Chances are crawlers stop searching at this level and your posts won&#8217;t get indexed.</li>
<li>Revise your meta tags, title, loading time and overall web page optimization. Make sure to put <em>content=&#8221;index,follow&#8221;</em> or <em>content=&#8221;noindex,nofollow&#8221;</em> in the web page headers indicating to the crawlers which pages should be shouldn&#8217;t be indexed.</li>
<li>Check your robots.txt file to verify that you have not blocked any bots or crawlers.</li>
<li><a title="Add your url" href="http://www.google.ca/addurl/?continue=/addurl" target="_blank">Add your site</a> url to Google so that it can begin the re-indexing process.</li>
<li>Check other websites in the same niche as yours to see what additions and changes they are making to look fresh and attracting visitors.</li>
<li>Analyze your website to check for the keywords that you would like your site to rank well in Google. Do not do keyword stuffing though.</li>
<li>Remove duplicate or invalid pages from your website that are still in Google&#8217;s index.</li>
<li>Keep doing on and off page optimization.</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember, sandbox effect does not have to be painful.  You can well utilize this time to improve and establish your website. And if done correctly, your site will be re-indexed in the search engine again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thinknearn.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/chrome2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-41" title="Google Chrome Start Page " src="http://www.thinknearn.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/chrome2-300x194.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="194" /></a>Everybody is talking about Google Chrome lately, so I thought of giving it a try myself. Google Chrome is a Google&#8217;s open source web browser. I downloaded and installed the software this morning. First impressions that I gather from the look and feel was refreshing. Although, it looks somewhat similar to Firefox 3.0, at least the way you are prompted to save your password for certain websites on the top. But this is all look and feel. How about the backend stuff. Is that any better than other browsers, I have been wondering.</p>
<p>To run  a few tests, I open up my options from &#8220;Customize and Control Google Chrome&#8221;. You can set your homepage by going to tools-&gt; options-&gt; Basics. I was able to import all my bookmarks from IE and Firefix with no problems at all, but the button for bookmarks show up on the right hand side. I guess I will have to get used to that. I ran into Google unresponsive problem while loading gmail. This is the message that I received.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thinknearn.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/chrome1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-37" title="chrome unresponsive" src="http://www.thinknearn.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/chrome1-300x153.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="153" /></a> </p>
<p>Google Chrome loads pages faster than other browsers. Almost all the sites loaded up instantly. I had issues with some login pages that require java. There were some problems with games when loading flash. It would get stuck and would not load the whole page.</p>
<p>All these problems are not huge and would not stop me from start using Chrome as of today. As for my opinions on what others think about Chrome, there are two groups of people who like or dislike Chrome. Tech savvy people are baised towards G-Chrome and love it. They are waiting for some more updates though. Non techy people are not liking it so much, uninstalled the software and went back to using IE and FF. As far as I am concerned, I am not a techy person, but keep using Chrome alongwith other browsers.  </p>
<p>I guess there are some problems that Google needs to sort out with Chrome, with this being their newest software still in beta version and what not. I am pretty sure they are reading all the reviews about G-Chrome and working on it right now, as we talk.</p>
