Hi!
I抳e recently created a site called The Geek Hangout (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.freewebs.com/thegeekhangout/">http://www.freewebs.com/thegeekhangout/</a><!-- m -->) which is about computers in general and mainly Windows tips, tricks, reviews...But I have a few questions, so I came here looking for help and I抎 appreciate any assistance.
Google AdSense:
1) What are high dollar keywords? And how do you discover them and put them into use?
2) How can I noticeably increase my AdSense revenue, what抯 the best ad layout for my pages (skyscraper, banner? and how do I increase my CTR?
3) Are there any other recommended sources of revenue and advertising services like AdSense?
Promotion and Increasing Traffic:
1) I抳e submitted my site to the most popular search-engines, mentioned it in many tech forums and told people who might be interested. But I抦 still not getting enough traffic! Do you have any useful tips?
2) I understand the importance of exchanging links for both increasing traffic and page rank. But I抦 facing a problem: I contacted a few webmasters (around 8), but only 2 agreed. The others either didn抰 respond or sent me an e-mail saying: what抯 the benefit of exchanging links with a smaller site? They have a point but this situation reminds me of another thing. It抯 similar to the problem faced by inexperienced people looking for a job. Notice the pattern? They need experience to get experience and I need traffic to get traffic! Do you have a solution?
Compatibility:
1) My site looks fine on IE and Netscape but really ugly on Opera. Is it Opera抯 fault or mine? If I made any mistake, how can I fix it? BTW, what percentage of internet surfers use Opera?
Thanks.
