How to Create Sitemap

Sitemap is useful for search engines that inform of your site URL contains on your website or your blog. Sitemap using protocol that write by highly scalable that accommodate sites of any size, beside the URL address is register on your sitemap, you can also add additional information on your sitemap, such as last update, how often it changes, how important it is in relation to other URL in the site and also what kind of your file that may to follow or no follow by engines.

Creating your sitemap may can use some automatically create from any website service, but this idea is not recommended if you want to create your site map for free. Automatic creation using any website service, usually just valid for certain period, after that your sitemap will finish and can’t be used anymore. I recommend that you can create your sitemap by yourself you can follow step by step the guideline hire or from google sitemap.

Please attention that using sitemap does not guarantee that your all site will be included in search indexes and using sitemap will not influence of the way Google will rank your site. But by submitting a Sitemap (or Sitemaps) to a search engine, will help engine's crawlers to do a better job of crawling your site.

Sitemaps created for Google using Sitemap Protocol 0.9 are therefore compatible with other search engines that adopt the standards of sitemaps.org. You can create a sitemap using notepad that available on Windows, after you create sitemap structure you must save with extension xml such as YourSitemapName.xml, when you save this file you must use convert by UTF-8 encoded. If you using Blogger for your blog, you don’t need to create sitemap because Blogger have create automatically for you, for this purpose see on my other article on Get Listing in search engine.

The Sitemap structure must contains:

• On this example I change <> sign with [] because <> sign cannot be view for closing tag.
• Begin with an opening <>tag and end with a closing [/]tag.
• Include an entry for each URL as a parent XML tag.
• Include a child entry for each parent tag.

The following example shows a Sitemap in XML format. The Sitemap in the example contains a small number of URLs, each of which is identified using the XML tag. In this example, a different set of optional parameters has been provided for each URL.


<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

You must modified that code and change with your url address and also the closing sign "[]" with "<>".

You can compress your Sitemap files using gzip. Compressing your Sitemap files will reduce your bandwidth requirement. Please note that your uncompressed Sitemap file may not be larger than 10MB.

Be careful to Change Template

You can change every time your template design of your blog on blogger, but you must be careful, because change template can change your rank on Google. You also will loose your monitoring code if you you use of Google Analytic or you have verified your blog by using certain code. Before you change your template design better you copy first all your code that have been applied to your blog, then after you change your template can install again into your new template design.

Your verified code is located on your head and head closed and your google analytic code placed between body and body closed code. To change your template or to find you your code you must login to Blogger then click layout, then click again edit html, inside these codes you can find that code.



You can change your template design but better don't change your blog title or your blog description, because this changes will change of searching code that can make change of your page rank on google. To change title and blog description will change niche word or meta tag of your blog, and search engine will change how to find your blog. So if you have other consideration about this changing its up to you, in the other day your blog may have a better rank with your new meta tag.

How to Increase AdSense Revenue

As publisher or Blogger or Webmaster like me, want to increase our AdSense Revenue if we are become as AdSense publisher. This hope actually hard to realize, because beside many others Blogger or Webmaster competitor that also want this. We all know that the number of blogger or webmaster in this internet not just million but many billion blogger as publisher as well. As the publisher want that our blog or our web become on the first page of search result when anyone browse with certain kind of word or phrase through the internet browser. Because this is the effective way to get traffic from internet browser. As my experience if we create blog on blogspot and we have traffic for about 1000 visitor a month, we will get AdSense revenue average about $ 2 a day. So if we want to get higher AdSense revenue on our blog we need more traffic that is visited our blog.

As the publisher or blog creator, we don’t know what the kind of niche that is most searches or at least many people search with those word or phrase. For this purpose we must have a long experience and trial for this one. For experienced blogger may need some trial with create many blogs with certain of niche, or if you have some advice for this, I will very grateful for your sharing with us through comment box, may be any simple tools that can check word search per day.

The most 10 word search can be seen in Yahoo but this is also not the best way if you follow this word to become your blog niche or blog meta, because you must compete with billion competitor that use that words. You must findout by your self for your Meta tag blog in order have many visitor can reach your blog.

For getting increase AdSense revenue through your blog, you must have the below criteria on your blog:

1. Your blog should have a high rank, minimum 3 of google rank, and your blog also become on the first or second page on Yahoo Search for certain search word.
2. Your must create a sitemap for your blog or web.
3. Every your page must have income link, either internal link or external link. For this one you can create 3 external links easily by using dig, stumble, or other web service.
4. You must create for every your blog page have high rank, not just your main blog if your blog can easily reach by visitor. If your blog have Google page rank of 5, then every your blog page have Google rank of 2, this one is very effective.
5. To realizing your dream you must work hard for this one.

If you have blog with a kind of that criterion, please tell me if your blog don’t have high AdSense revenue, then I will revise for my opinion or delete this article.

Filter For Google Analytic

Using Google analytic we can see the sum of traffic to our certain site or from referring site such as traffic from domain that is not a real traffic. The real traffic that will observe by us may just come from search engines or from other referring site.

These filters can be set up to exclude visits from particular IP addresses, to report only on a subdomain or directory, or to take dynamic page URLs and convert them into readable text strings.

Google Analytics provides us with three predefined filter types, as well as a number of customer options.

Predefined filters:

• Exclude all traffic from a domain: use this filter to exclude traffic from a specific domain, such as an ISP or company network.
• Exclude all traffic from an IP address: this filter works to exclude clicks from certain sources. You can enter a single IP address, or a range of addresses.
• Include only traffic to a subdirectory: use this filter if you want a profile to report only on a particular subdirectory (such as www.health-tips-diseases.com/infectiondiseases )

Custom filters:

• Exclude Pattern: This type of filter excludes log file lines (hits) that match the Filter Pattern of external site.
• Include Pattern: This type of filter includes log file lines (hits) that match the Filter Pattern. All non-matching hits will be ignored and any data in non-matching hits is unavailable to the Urchin reports.
• Search & Replace: This is a simple filter that can be used to search for a pattern within a field and replace the found pattern with an alternate form.
• Lookup Table: Selecting this filter allows you to select a lookup table name which may be used to map codes to human intelligible labels. For example, the phone models table maps abbreviated phone platform identifiers to the model and manufacturer names for phone based web browsers.
• Advanced: This type of filter allows you to build a field from one or two other fields. The filtering engine will apply the expressions in the two Extract fields to the specified fields and then construct a field.
• Uppercase / Lowercase: Converts the contents of the field into all uppercase or all lowercase characters. These filters only affect letters, and will not affect characters or numbers.

Custom filters are applied in the order in which they appear in your Profile Settings page. Use the Assign Filter Order link to rearrange the order of your filters.
