DFP Small Business by Google

Trinity recently conducted a review of Google Ad Manager, a hosted service for booking and running ads on your website. The Ad Manager, currently in beta release, ties into AdSense to provide a complete manual/automatic online ad sales platform, connected to the Google ad network. For example, you can sell ads to your own advertisers, but if you have not sold enough ads to fill out your inventory for a given time period, AdSense will automatically fill in the blanks.


Take a Look at Google Ad Manager

Google Ad Manager/AdSense create a method to facilitate monetization of online publishing. With many corporations publishing content that draws significant web traffic (in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors), Google’s services can be a short and inexpensive route to covering some portion of publishing costs.
The specific purpose of our review was to see if the Ad Manager system would be functional for the small non-profit publisher—in this case, a low-budget entity operating a website with approximately one million pageviews per month.

For this purpose, Google Ad Manager isn’t really ready for prime time—during our test drive we encountered several bugs, and the user interface is not yet as intuitive as we would like. It is difficult to understand how inventory forecasting works, and we ran into some system bugs in ad deployment that would frustrate less tech-savvy adopters.

However, as a result of Google’s acquisition of DoubleClick in March 2008, Google will soon be launching (and automatically upgrading all Ad Manager user to) DFP Small Business. DFP stands for “DoubleClick for Publishers. As Google puts it, “The new DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP) from Google...further leverages the combined strengths of Google and DoubleClick.”

Take a Look at DFP Small Business by Google

From what we read, DFP Small Business will refine many of the kinks that we’ve been seeing in Google AdManager. This might make it a truly viable option for the small publisher that has a respectable inventory to sell, but limited time and money to invest in managing the booking process.

How to hide Navbar on Blogspot

Blogger has started advertisement above the navbar (the usually blue navigation bar at the very top of a blog) on a random basis (now you see it, now you don't) and this has taken valuable space. See screen shot below:


advertisement above Blogger navbar

Since that is taking valuable real estate plus the fact the the Blogger TOS (Terms of Service) did not specify that one must have it for the blog, I have decided to hide the navbar.

There are various ways to do that, not all of them effective. I have found that the hack by Aditya to be effective.

Aditya's hack is simple. Here is my interpretation of his hack: Go to LAYOUT > EDIT HTML to open the template editor. Look for and paste the following after that:

/* hide navbar */
/*-------------*/
#Navbar1 {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
visibility: hidden;
display: none;
}

how to add google analytics code on blogger


I have been using Analytics now for around one year, I like the way you can get a quick overview of your site just by choosing the site, I am also very impressed with the comparison feature where you can graph one time period against another.

Wouldn’t it be nice to know how many people actually visited your blog each day? How about knowing which of your posts are the most popular? Well surprisingly Blogger doesn’t currently offer any native blog analytics but fortunately there is Google Analytics — available for free.
Google Analytics would have to be the best free web traffic analysis tool that is available, in fact I would wager that its better than most paid web traffic analysis tools.
Once you have registered with Google Analytics you need to add your site into the Analytics Settings, you will be then given a small snippet of code that needs to be placed onto every page of your website. Luckily for us bloggers it only means editing one file.

( Please backup your template first in case you muck it up.)

Setup a Google Analytics Account

Go to Google Analytics and sign in using your Blogger login. If your account doesn’t work for some reason, you can create a new one instead. Once you login you’ll see a screen that looks like this:

Click on the “Sign Up >>” button and proceed to the next step which will ask you for your general information. Website URL, Account Name, Country, and Time Zone. The screen will look like this:

If you noticed, I just put my Blogger url (without the http://) and called it “David’s Account” because this is your top-level container for 1 or 100 different websites so it’s a good idea to name it something more general. The next step will ask you for your contact information which includes your first name, last name, phone number, and country. Easy so far right?
Your last step in signing up will ask you to accept the user agreement terms and conditions which you should read (just kidding…who actually ever reads these entire legal terms anyhow?).

Now this next screen is very important. This is the code you will need to copy and paste into your blogger template. Go ahead and click into the box and it will automatically highlight the entire block of code for you. Now you need to copy that code and paste it into notepad or into a MS Word document. Save it as you’ll need to use it later.

After you click on the “continue >>” button you will be taken to your brand new Google Analytics dashboard! You will see your blogger blog listed but with no analytical data….yet.

Ok, now you are done with setting up your Google Analytics account. The next step is placing the tracking code into your Blogger template so it can report back to Google Analytics and provide you with some cool data points.

Adding GA Tracking Code to Your Blogger Template

This is not a very difficult step even if you are afraid to touch your template code. Login to your Blogger account and then click on the “Layout” => “Edit HTML” tabs. This will bring you to the template code. Before you make any changes, I advice you to back up your template just in case there are any problems. After you’ve done so, continue reading.
Now in the edit template html code window, scroll all the way to the bottom of your template code and look for the tag. There should only be one of these closing tags in your template. If you can’t find it then your template wasn’t properly created and you should add one right above the tag.The tag should always be your last line of code in your template. It signifies the end of your template.
Ok, now go back to the code you saved before in a Word Doc from Google Analytics. You are going to copy it and paste it right above the tag as illustrated in the image below. The yellow highlighted code is the new GA code I just pasted into my template.

Save your template and you shouldn’t get any error messages. If you do, it’s most likely not related to this GA code and something else with your template itself. Assuming you’ve been successful with your save, you are all done embedding the GA code in your template!

Confirm Google Analytics is Tracking

Go back into your Google Analytics account and look at your dashboard. Most likely you will see a little yellow exclamation mark under the “status” column that looks like this: google analytics tracking not installed. This means everything isn’t working properly yet which is fine because we are about to tell GA we just added the code. From your dashboard, click on the “edit” link which is located to the far right.
After you click on that link, you’ll see another screen like below. It will say “Tracking Not Installed” followed by a link “Check Status”. You’ll want to go ahead and click on that link which will tell GA to visit your site and look for the new code you just pasted in your template.

Assuming you pasted the code in there as instructed above, GA will find the new code and begin tracking everything on your blog. If you are still having problems, it’s most likely something to do with GA and you should read their help guide to troubleshoot your problem.
The message seen here, “Waiting for Data” means you have correctly setup GA and data is being gathered! Click on the top left Google Analytics logo and it will take you back to your dashboard. From there click on the “View report” link and that’s where all your very important Blogger visitor data will start appearing!

It takes a day or so for the Data to be available, however its certainly comprehensive once it arrives. If you have any questions feel free to ask them.

How to Submit Your Blog to Directories

One great way to give your blog more traffic is to submit your blog to directories. By doing so, you increase the amount of one-way links to your blog. This in turn means much more traffic to your site which means more cash.
This is a step-by-step guide, which, when implemented, will guarantee that your blog will have a higher profile:

1. There are many ways to submit your blog to a directory. One of the easiest is to run a search engine search by typing in "blog directory". When you have done so, you will find a complete list of directories. You can then pick and choose which ones to submit to at your own leisure.

2. An excellent website to submit your blog to is masternewmedia. If your blog has an RSS feed you can go to masternewmedia. This will give you a list of top, tested, directories which offer RSS services.

3. However, the above are just examples of general directories. Ideally, your blog should be targeted at a particular niche. Let's take an example. You have just posted a topic on how to write your own book and you want to link your blog to directories which cater for that topic. Simply type into Google, or any search engine, "submit link" "write your own book" "add link" "write your own book". This includes both keywords words used by directories - 'submit' and 'add'. A long list of websites and directories will pop up looking for links on that topic. Just pick and choose which ones you want to include. This has many advantages. Not only are you getting your blog included in certain niche directories but you will also be added to many websites. As these links are one way, you will not be losing any traffic as you would be if were posting reciprocal links on your blog.

4. There is one rule to remember when you are submitting your blog to directories. Search engines don't like to see a massive amount of links to your blog being generated over night. They prefer a more natural, organic approach in which links are created over a period of time. Ideally, what should happen is that you should submit your blog to a couple directories every day and slowly add to more as time progresses. A good piece of advice would be to write down which websites and directories you have linked to so that you don't commit 'link overkill'.


If you use the above as a guide you will have no difficulty in submitting your blog to directories. What's more if you are careful when adding links to websites and directories you will steadily see your blog's profile improve in the search engines' rankings. Ideally, you should be looking at a niche market and submitting to niche directories to get more traffic. Not only that, you will be getting qualified traffic when you do.

This means that you will have an audience interested in your blog. Patience is critical in building up your blog's profile. However, it doesn't have to take ages. Follow these steps and you will be well on your way to having a high profile blog.

This is business. It is not playtime.

You might be surprised by the number of people who complain that they do not make any significant income from their AdSense campaigns. When we ask them how many markets they're in or how many domains they have, their answer is usually 10 or 15 markets, and only 1 or 2 domains per market.
Here is another truth that many people do not want to face head-on. You cannot make any money with AdSense unless you are in a lot of markets. And within those many markets, you must have many websites if you want to really penetrate your niche market and make the most profits from that market. In today’s world, you need to have a lot of smaller sites.

So how can you do all of that?

Well, you cannot, unless you first address some important issues. In order for you to accomplish all this work, you need three things:

1) Procedures
2) Achievable Goals
3) Help

PROCEDURES: As mentioned above, in order for you to maximize your profits and exposure, you must have a lot of websites working for you. With that being the case, you need to have some system of generating a lot of websites and be able to get those sites up and running in as quick a fashion as possible. So how about an assembly line metaphor? Let’s assume you want to get into 20 markets. One way to do this would be for you to do the keyword research for all 20 markets. Then purchase your domain names. Then setup your hosting accounts. And lastly build and upload your web pages. Your procedure, in this case, allows you to work in a systematic, organized way which is much more efficient than attempting to build each site, one at a time,
and one domain at a time.

ACHEIVEABLE GOALS: Anyone who is self-employed, either full time or part time, understands the importance of setting realistic goals and then achieving those goals. You need to set daily, weekly, and monthly goals to keep yourself on track and give yourself a clear picture of where you are and where you want to go.
Your goal list is your roadmap to success. However, each goal that you set for yourself must be achievable. Do not set your goals so high that failure is almost assured. That sort of action will kill your selfconfidence
and cause you to lose faith in your work. If you are just getting started out, you might set a monthly goal of 10 markets, with 3 domains per market.
Is that too much?
How about starting with 5 markets with 2 domains per market?
You would then set weekly and daily goals to ensure that you meet (and even exceed) the goals you set.
Without goals you can't keep score, and if you can't keep score you don't know if you're winning or losing in business, or in life, for that matter.

HELP: The last element that is vital to your success is help. In order for all the work to get done, you will need to outsource as much as possible.
This is vital. You must understand why outsourcing is so important. Your mission is to perform a task only until you know it well enough to teach someone else how to do it. The faster you can duplicate yourself, the faster you
can expand your business as you focus on the most profitable actions that need to be taken. For this to work, you have to be management, not grunt. Our entire page generation business is 100% outsourced. We have one person who selects my markets, another does the keyword research for those markets, and yet another who actually builds and manages all my pages. This frees us up to concentrate on the markets that are truly profitable. It allows us the time and the mental space to think through our next move. That freedom to think would be greatly diminished if we had to spend the majority of our time doing work that others can do just as well, and, in some cases, better than us.
