Goenawan Mohamad Notes To Be Read By Blogger Who Write Poems

A poem written by a variety of reasons, mainly because of the poem then a person can express something that is in the heart and head, while also holding something inside it. The poem is something that is ambiguous, full of symbols, which in themselves have the will to say something at once to hide something.

Writing poetry is an uphill battle, as well as fun for the writer because there will be upheaval, conflict, intellectual hard work, and certainly not a pretended thing. Conrad Aiken said that the poem is a portrait of man with sweat on his forehead, blood on his hands, torment of hell inside his heart, with his style, his absurdity, his wildness, his beliefs and his doubts.

If indeed as written by Conrad Aiken, in a poem will be found gloom, the constant tension, anxiety is incessant, and the struggle that really hard. Thus, writing poetry is not a haphazard job, not a job without a work because writing poetry is to create a world, as has been said by Chairil Anwar, "A Poem that Becoming, is a World". That is, a poem is a world unto itself that is the result of creativity of the poet with all the strength and hard work that is not half-hearted.

a Poem that Becoming, is a World
Writing is a world with full of struggle, as well as farmers who bathe in sweat when swinging hoes, like a fisherman who fought vigorously in the vastness of the sea against the storm, merchant with full of load on his back who goes along on foot offering merchandise, as well as a prophet who peddle light into every dark space of the human heart.

Writing has a different characterization. Writing a novel is different from writing poetry, writing essays is different from writing plays, writing literature is different from writing scientific papers, etc.. It's rare that can do two things at once with the same quality as full-maintained, for example, write poetry as good as writing a novel. There are two different shades of a similarity, and this is complex which is also full of temptation.

Best And Safest Meta Description For Blogger's Blog*spot

Indexed quickly by Google is the desire of all bloggers who blog professionally or even semi-professionally. They seek and explore different SEO techniques to realize their dreams in terms of fast Google indexing. Various SEO techniques have been applied by them into their HTML codes of blog template. One way is to use a blog meta description. And this is actually legitimate as long as they have original content and not using SEO techniques excessively.

However, and of course, there are some matters that should be considered carefully by a blogger who uses Blogger's blog*spot before using meta description. Where, the use of meta description can lead to problems and issues for their blog. Some of matters that should be considered carefully by a blogger are:
  1. When you use meta description for your blog, this will cause duplicate meta tags which will be reported in your Google webmaster tools.

  2. Although there are ways to avoid or eliminate duplicate meta tags after using blog meta description so it does not appear in Google webmaster tools - HTML suggestions report, you can not guarantee to yourself that such way is the right and safe way.

  3. Blogger is a free blogging platform where its blog design and structure, is already created and customized appropriately for Blogger user and Google search engine. Keep in mind that Blogger is a Google service.

  4. Inside the Blogger's blog*spot page structure, already available a feature that actually functions as a meta description and subtitle, i.e in blog header precisely right below blog title. On the blog header - blog description, you can even add up to a maximum of 500 characters to describe your blog.

  5. In essence, the power of a blog is the content especially text-based content. The more you often and regularly make posts and focus on a topic, then googlebot will more often visit your blog for indexing.
In the end, the blog description on the blog header is functioning as the default meta description for the Blogger's blog*spot. And this is the best and safest way.

Natural Link And Blogger Moral Situation For Being Patient

One of five important written descriptions in Google-friendly sites page is about how other sites on the web link to other sites or blogs. This description stated that Google algorithms can distinguish natural links from unnatural links. This statement is perfectly adequate as a warning to bloggers and webmasters to avoid, or not to make unnatural links to their website or blog.

In essence, natural links happen because users assume that a page is very useful for them, so they link out to those useful and helpful pages. Conversely, unnatural links are links that were deliberately or accidentally created by blogger or webmaster who can increase the popularity of a page through search engines, particularly through Google.

Then, What is the fundamental attitude that should be done by you?. You must be patient in getting those natural links.

Given that search engine bots, particularly Googlebot, have to crawl billions of pages on the web, it will require a very long time. With situation like this, a new website or blog, will take up to one month or more to be indexed by well-established in search results page. In such this situation, appearing a situation referred to as a moral situation.

Moral situation can be interpreted simply as a situation where a blogger should take ethical or unethical action. In a situation such as mentioned in third paragraph, a blogger who have ethics will not put his blog URL on other websites. He would prefer to be patient because he knows that if he put his blog URL on other sites, may cause his blog to be considered as a blog with unnatural links built. Of course, unethical blogger will do the opposite.

Natural Link or Not?
If you're not so sure that your putted link as above is a natural link, it's better to not put your blog or website link. Just be patient and let the web dynamic makes links to your blog naturally. This is a moral situation for a blogger in terms of being patient.
Temptations to a blogger patience in maintaining his blog's natural links are very high. This can be found and felt on the web in various occasions, and hardly, only Google algorithms that can distinguish, while bloggers or webmasters themselves can not distinguish with certainty.

Suppose, we have a blog with topic of A, then we get another blog that also stubs A. After that, we give relevant comments in which available a box to fill our blog URL as commentator link, usually it is at the bottom of post. This becomes a moment where we really do not know and we can not ascertain whether our blog URL in that comments is a natural link or an unnatural link.

Likely, you are very confident because you've left a relevant comment, but if you re-read the written statement that Google algorithms can distinguish natural links from unnatural links and also may lead to link schemes and doorway pages, you better act anticipatory. It would be better for you to prefer a patience, and let the web dynamics that build links to your blog or website.

Duplicate Content On Google Search Results Page And Its Effect To AdSense

When Google first appeared on the web about 14 years ago, its function is as a search engine. Although at this time Google has developed various products as a service to internet users, basically, all based on Google search, including Google AdSense.

Google AdSense itself requires strictly to the webmasters and bloggers, that they must have original content on their website. If a website contains duplicate content, then they will be rejected or disapproved. Even if a website that contains duplicate content can get away and become an AdSense publisher next, sooner or later, it will be detected by Google and account will be disabled.

Facts on how Google AdSense is actually an innovation of and based on Google search, and how a duplicate content very easily detected by Google's technology, which makes it not approved by Google AdSense, it can be seen in two images of Google search results page below. The example of duplicate content on the following two images also will confuse users.

Duplicate Content On Google Search Result Page1
Duplicate contents on Google search results page. If your blog or website content appeared like this, it will be disapproved by Google AdSense.
Duplicate Content On Google Search Result Page2
Duplicate contents still appeared on Google search results page 2 and these confusing users.

Why Does Text Based Content Blog Become Essential?

Text-Based Content Blog, Not The Other!
It is a fact on the web, especially in blogging that blogging is a self-expression. However, it is necessary also to be truly understood, a self-expression does not mean that a blogger must publish any type of content as he wants. Why?, Because text-based content for a blog is the most essential.

Previously, please forgive if you are a typical blogger who likes to publish a variety of media, like video, mp3 and others. Besides, this article is more intended for bloggers who love to write, want their blog more google-friendly and eager to be AdSense publishers.

And, why does the text-based content becomes very essential for a blog?
  1. Google prefer a blog with text based content. That is, the more text-based content in a blog, the blog will have more chances to be crawled and indexed by googlebots. In addition, the media or forms that are most relevant and suitable for an information on the web is text. With text-based, the content is also more easy to be updated. Even if a blog has a non text-based content, e.g image, it must use the "ALT" attribute that contains relevant keywords. If not, then the image will be useless because not readable by googlebots, no matter how important the information implied or contained in that image.
    If this happens, it would be a waste of time and energy of a blogger, because the substance of the blog's content is the information searched and needed by the user, and Google, until today is still the best search engine for information on the internet. Similarly, with almost all types of robots on the web that is to read the text (based content).
  2. By knowing that the information would (only) be distributed to all internet users is caused by text-based content, so bloggers can not avoid to have to write. Where in fact, writing is the substance of blogging. Indeed it is becoming a bit backwards from the theory, but it becomes substantial because when a blogger does not know or has not known on how a text-based content becomes essential, then he will never learn to write for his blog.
  3. A text-based content blog is having the capacity of lightweight, so it will be faster to be loaded by the browser. Because after all, internet users would prefer a blog page which is fast to load. Otherwise, they will leave the blog.
  4. Google AdSense is a program runs by bot's crawling on all pages of text-based content, since AdSense is an innovation from Google search. But this does not mean that a blog should participate in Google AdSense, but again as well, the web facts prove that the existence of Google AdSense is very powerful, important and influential. Or let's say, something big on the web, so that at the same time a text-based content blog is becoming essential.

Blog Chat Box Gadget, Do You Really Need It?

Chat Box Do You Need It?
Basically, whatever was done by a blogger in order to build his blog, and for not deviate from standard rules that apply on the internet, is legitimate and normal. In addition, blogging also has a very fundamental aspect allows a blogger to do as he likes, that is blogging as a medium of self-expression.

Blogging as a self-expression, usually done by, for example, adding a variety of gadgets. Indeed, the gadget or a widget is a very attractive feature for a blogger. The teenage bloggers who do personal blogging or just for fun blogging, is a group of bloggers who are usually very fond of gadgets. They could spend hours in tweaking with various gadgets.

A gadget that is often found on many blogs is a chat box gadget. Chat box gadgets offered by many websites on the web, either free or have to pay. By adding a chat box gadget in blog, there are some positive benefits to be gained by a blogger. Among them are, but are not limited to:
  1. Making a blog becomes more attractive, interactive and communicative. Thus, between a blog owner and blog visitors will be easier to communicate.
  2. As a tool, in addition to visitor trackers certainly, which allows to calculate of how many blog visitors did visiting, though a chat box gadget is less accurate.
  3. In addition to via email and blog visitor's comment on posts or articles, a chat box gadget also useful as a media to leave messages for blog visitors.
  4. For blog visitors, they could see who else had just visited the blog.
  5. Easing the blog owner to do a track back.
  6. Media for blogger's blogwalking.
However, for a semi-professional or a professional blogger who is more priority on his blog content and using his blog as a strategic transformation media of his useful information to information searchers on the web, it seems, a chat box gadget is not a requirement to be used. Conversely, a chat box gadget could be a feature that is inefficient and counter productive to the objectives of (serious) blogging.

Here are some things to consider, when a blogger will be adding a chat box gadget (but are not limited to below too):
  1. Can cause your focus and concentration is reduced or decreased in making the quality and original blog content.
  2. Indeed, a chat box gadget usually is a frame, but when there are people who enter a spam script or malicious javascript, the frame of its chat box gadget is located on the page of blog.
  3. Becoming a cause of why your blog is slow in loading.
  4. Especially for a blogger who desire to be a Google AdSense publisher, it is necessary to understand the implicit term of "chat sites". There is a page on AdSense Help forum, which involves the issue of chat sites. Although it may have a different perception, but it is better to be more careful regarding a chat box gadget.
  5. Will make you feel uncomfortable because of a greeting in the chat box gadget that says: "Hi, nice blog friend. Would you please visit me back?".
Do you really need a chat box gadget for your blog?

Basics And Elements Of Communication That Blogger Should Know

Communication Basics
Basically, communication is the process of delivering a message from the sender to the recipient via a channel to produce the desired effect by using common symbol. Symbols are used to be a written language, pictures, music and so forth.

COMMUNICATION BASICS AND ELEMENTS

Communication Elements
In communication process there are 5 basic elements, namely:
  1. Sources of information (communicator)
  2. Message
  3. Communication channels (media)
  4. Recipient of information (communicant)
  5. The impact or effect and feedback
Source
Is a person who initially provide communication action or give a message to the recipient, sender of the message also called communicator. In making and give the message to the recipient then there was a coding process, namely the process of translating the idea into common symbol or familiar (word, language, images and so forth) into a message that is easily understood. Sources of information can be individuals or institutions that begin the communication process.

Message
Messages are information to be conveyed by the sender to the recipient. The message conveyed can be verbal messages which are all types of oral communication that uses words, can also be non-verbal messages such as body language (facial expression, posture, tone of voice, hand movements, how to dress and so on), music, dance or sign language.

Channel
This element is a medium or medium used, so that messages can be delivered by the source to the recipient. Channel is often called the method of communication. Channels of communication may be simple, such as use of words or sounds, but also the process can not be simple. For instance, suppose a candidate for mayor who uses TV to campaign at the city level, can also use various media such as leaflets, picture cards and so forth.

Recipient
Are the people who receive messages from the communicator, often called as the communicant. When receiving a message from the sender, the process of reinterpreting the messages received is called encoding. Decoding process is strongly influenced by perceptions and socio-cultural background of the communicant.

Impact or effect or result
Impact is what is desired by the sender or communicator of the message or information that has been delivered or sent.

Feedback
Feedback refers to any information obtained back to the sender from the recipient. Benefits of feedback:
  • Can help the source in determining the success of his communication
  • Sources can reinforce the message or change its strategy, based on feedback received
  • Can be used to plan a more successful communications in the future
When giving feedback communicant also eventually act as a communicator who gave the message to the communicator first. So actually both communicators and communicants is a source of information and each giving and receiving messages simultaneously and at the same time the process affect each other.

Thus, a blog can also be referred to as a medium of communication, in which, the blog contains messages or information provided, and given from a blogger as a source, for readers of the blog as a recipient of the message. So that a blogger should also understand the basics of communication.

What Is Blogger Ethics?

Blogger Ethics
The word ethics means the character, nature of obscenity, or custom. As a subject, ethics will be related to the concept held by individuals or groups to assess whether the actions that have been doing is right or wrong, is bad or good.

Ethics is a reflection of what is called as the self control, because everything is made and applied from and to the interests of the social group itself.

The presence or appearance of groups of bloggers with the tools and mechanisms for ethical blogging (obeying the rules that bind bloggers, such as Terms of Service, Content Policy, Webmaster Guidelines and the like) clearly will be necessary to maintain the dignity and honor of bloggers, and on the other hand is to protect all internet users.

A blogger can only gain the trust of all internet users, especially visitors and readers of his blog, when inside the person of the blogger has a strong awareness to heed ethical blogging when he wanted to give information to visitors and readers of his blog that they need.

Furthermore, the ethics is also called as moral philosophy, it is the branch of philosophy that speaks of praxis (action) of people. Ethics does not concerned about the human condition, but questioning on how human should act. Human action itself determined by a variety of norms.

Then, the norm is still divided into legal norms, moral norms, religious norms and norms of politeness. Legal norms and laws derived from legislation, and religious norms comes from religion while moral norms derived from the inner voice. Politeness norms derived from everyday life while moral norms derived from ethics.

In essence, blogging norms are derived from all provisions, terms and rules that exist on the internet, which has the potential to bind a blogger. Or also called as Ethics for Blogger.

Blog Content And Blog Template, Which One Is More Important?

Blog Content Or Blog Template
Surely, you ever asked yourself about one thing, whether conscious or unconscious, whether directly or indirectly. This question is: Which is more important, a blog template or a blog content?.

At the time that question came in your mind, at least you can already feel a little sign that blogging is a learning process. In the past, when you start blogging for the very first time, it is very likely that you would prefer blog content, or to say, you prefer to sell your own words, which then produce texts in your articles.

Why so?, Because indeed and basically, blogging is an online activity, facilitated by a page on web, which aims to express ideas, thoughts and opinions you have. Thus, media or format that is suitable for a blog's content is text. So it was true, when someone says that a blog is like an online diary and it is more personal.

As a real world that has a dynamic, then blogging is same as well. This dynamic is then lead to a shifting of intrinsic meaning of blogging. You can see this fact from many blogs on web that publish videos, images, songs and the like, or they that are not text-based content, words or thoughts. However, this fact is still more fair and reasonable, when compared with blogs that rely on templates. That is, videos, images, songs and the like, is still more expressive and informative than a blog template.

Let's review about blog template; It must be recognized that a good blog template is it is a must for a blogger. But lest, a blog template to be number one priority. Even if a blogger should create and design his blog template, then he's doing it is to aim for convenience of readers or users in seeking useful information from his blog (content). Or, to make it SEO-friendly feel (read: fast in loading).

You certainly often or ever find blogs on web is wrong in terms of how to manage. These blogs use templates that are very good as a big website. But when you read content in it, its blog content is not worthy enough to how cool the blog template. In addition, there are also many blogs with excessive template, for example: using a heavy background image to be loaded, too many columns, too dark background so texts are difficult to read and much more. The bad effect of this is only one, organic or regular reader will leave the blog.

Conversely, when there is a blog with a rather bad template, but it contains quality content and is accordant to what information searched by user, then it is probable that reader will come back to the blog. That is, content quality of a blog, especially in text-based, should be prioritized ahead of a blog template. And do not let happen, trying to divert reader's attention from blog content to blog template. All ethical bloggers know, Content is King, while Blog Template is just a servant of the king.

Understanding Association And Philosophy Of Terms: Create, Make And Build A Blog

You Need To Build A Blog
Make a blog, create a blog and build a blog, which term is true?. At first glance all these terms are all just same, that is, resulting same outcome, which will produce a Blog. In fact, if interpreted in a more distant and more precise, among terms of make a blog, create a blog and build a blog, is to have different aspects, in which, there are at least two aspects that distinguish them, namely:
  1. Association
  2. Philosophy
Association and philosophy of the term to make a blog, is leading to something that can be done quickly and not really require thought and energy. As well as making a post, making a layout or the like, which can be done in a matter of hours and days in maximum. In addition, nuances that arise from the term of make a blog is instant, less of learning, and its process is fast.

Furthermore, association and philosophy of the term to create a blog, is even more instant, very less of learning, and its process is much faster than making a blog. The term create on the web, you can find when you create an account, create a widget, create a profile and much more, and all of that could be completed and finished in minutes, the longest is in a matter of hours.

What about the association and philosophy of term build a blog?. Association and philosophy of build a blog is the most substantial. If you think and brood, then you will be taken into a dimension of understanding, which has systematic and managerial aspects. The most essential word in it, is Build. Build is a word that most people, will be associated in many things or actions. Words which are very appropriate to follow the word build, will lead to a house, building or other construction forms.

We take as an example is the build of a house. When a blogger associates build a blog to build a house, then he is not only associated, but more than that, he analogous (reversely). Then, in its analogy are buried many basic philosophies that are very important for a blogger. Here are philosophical points of the build a house, which is equated to the term of build a blog.

When building a house, its steps are systematic and sequential, namely:

1. Planning stage

This is a vital stage when people will build a house. Planning is conceptual, forecasts, strategic and anticipatory. The calculation of cost, technical house design, risk and other technical aspects are discussed thoroughly in this phase. In building a blog, this stage is as when a blogger:
  • Determining blog topic or theme
  • Determining and choosing a prospective niche
  • Ascertain whether his blog will be in accordance with any terms of service and content policy
  • Estimating of Does his blog will get a high-traffic in future?
  • Defining, choosing and setting blog title, blog description and subdomain or domain name on its blog URL
  • In essence, all steps will be and should be implemented when blogging runs in future, is to be listed, reviewed and done in this stage, just before his blog published or live on the web.
2. Build a foundation

Foundation is the most under construction and most basic element of a house. Without a foundation, is impossible for a house can be built and could collapse. Foundation in building a blog is same as:
  • Choosing, using and applying an appropriate template for user, and SEO-friendly
  • Ensure that all HTML and javascript codes are based on standards set by the W3
  • Determine on how many bits, capacity of space that is proportional to all types of blog content.
3. Building floor

Floor is a proper construction above house foundation. Floor function is to facilitate mobility and movement of occupants of a house. In a blog is same as:
  • Make site navigation, to facilitate user or reader
  • Create relevant tabs are also, to facilitate user
  • Create pages of about, contact, privacy policy, terms of service and the like, which is as overview and interactive features of the blog
4. Building wall and pillar

The wall and pillar, is a part right above floor and house foundation, which serves to protect house occupants and as a support of house and roof. Somewhat like foundation, walls and pillars are vital to the power and strength of house construction. But wall is more impressive, that is, a look of a house is reflected from its wall. Paint, ornaments, photographs, usually mounted on wall. Everyone can judge good or bad a house, usually is from the wall. Content of a blog is the best fit simile for a house wall. Selling value of a house depends relatively on its walls and pillars. Likewise, selling value of a blog is highly dependent of content therein. For good and quality content, bloggers need:
  • To create original content, unique and specific. So that differentiate it with other blogs on this web, or in a figurative, unlike wall of other houses
  • Useful content. A blog content should be able to provide positive change for readers or users upon information they got
  • Accountable. A blog content must be actual and accountable. If not, then house wall will crack, and eventually collapsed
  • Blog content should always be updated. As a wall of a house that was always painted
  • Blog content should be linked, among each article under one label. Labels, are like rooms in a house, bordered by walls
  • Have a strong link building among its articles. Like pillar and iron skeletons, which are embedded in walls of a house
5. Roof

This is the final construction and is on top of a house. Its function is to protect house occupants and all kinds of thing inside from rain, sun and inclement weather. Roof can not be assembled, when there are no walls and pillars. However, roof remains an important element. When you're blogging, roof can be done as a final stage. For example:
  • High-traffic. However, naturally, high blog traffic will be gained when blog is having good and quality content, in reader's point of view
  • Backlinks. Blog or other website will be referencing and linking to your blog, when your blog content is useful
  • Earning money from blog. This case is also very dependent on quality and quantity of blog content
  • In essence, the house roof is last stage, that is, such as high-traffic, backlinks and blog's money earnings are matters which come from outside factors of blog. You will deserve to get it, when you've built from planning stage until constructing walls and pillars in systematic and sequential. You'll get it when all stages above (no.1 to no.4) has been implemented in optimum, good, appropriate and in ethical way.
The essence or philosophy of build a blog (or build a house), will require high patience and a willingness to learn. Not just create or make a blog, you need to build. And it is a long process.

Are They Really In A Hurry?, So That Forgot To Read Google AdSense Help Articles?

Google Adsense Help Articles
Today I was a bit much to give descriptive answers in Google AdSense help forum. They, askers are still very enthusiastic to be able to participate in Google AdSense program by becoming publisher. Their enthusiasm can be caught and feel on how the way they ask questions. Each phrase and word for word that they make, is really expressive with a sense of surprise, disappointment, could not understand and other expressions which are simply showing their enthusiasm.

There is a strong enough impression can be read from the discussion today. Maybe even not just an impression, but rather an indication. And what indication is that?. That indication is, Google AdSense program policies and all complete help articles, apparently has not read and understood well and deeply by them, the new applicants. This impression or indication can be seen from some of issues and problems in their questions, with a subject which is already clearly explained, or has answers in Google AdSense help articles.

Oh, all that complicated Google AdSense is?!. If this case is analyzed to root of problem, then there is only one possibility of answer, since Google AdSense is about earning money on the internet. This has led many bloggers and webmasters making unnecessary mistakes in respond to and anticipate. They seem really in a hurry to quickly get an approved Google AdSense account. Later, they became forgotten that they have a requirement that they must meet, namely to build a blog or website that meets all the criteria as written in Google AdSense program policies, especially aspects of content. And, concerning what ways and tips to be able to meet all these criteria, all are available completely in Google AdSense help articles.

As a little example is about the blog content. On a thread in AdSense help forum, there's a blogger who asks in wonder, about why his original blog content is judged as an unacceptable site content. Meanwhile, he himself seems convinced that his original blog content is already sufficient to meet the criteria. But he forgot that original content is just as one important criterion among many other important criteria, one of which is a blog also must have substantial content, both in quantity and quality, where, the answer or article that describes it is actually already available in complete on a page about Why is content critical to ad targeting?.

The above example simply indicates that, very likely, they are too in a hurry and do not read and understand Google AdSense program policies and all help articles first.

Are You AdSense Publisher Blogger?, Then Think Carefully The Advertiser Interests

A Must Think For Adsense Publishers Is Advertiser Interests
Are you going to sign up for Google AdSense program in order to become an (new) AdSense publisher?, If you will, then you should think about and understand completely on one thing, it is the Advertiser Interests. I, and perhaps you, actually do not know exactly about what kinds of things that are included in the list of advertiser interests. But clearly, you as an ethical blogger who certainly know and understand what is your rights and obligations, would strongly agree and understand with this quote:
If later you become a (new) Google AdSense publisher, then you must be able to contribute positively and protect advertiser interests, in a manner consistent with the regulations, in this case is the rule of Google AdSense.
By logic and reason, an advertiser is certainly would not want if his ads that are displayed on a website or blog, do not give positive results and real impact on businesses owned and run by the advertiser self, which has been published on this internet through the advertiser's website. Besides by being an advertiser has to pay a fee to advertise, in this case is through AdWords, is also because in essence, it is the rights for an advertiser. For a Google AdSense publisher, the rights of an advertiser is to become his responsibility and obligation. Hopefully until the end of this paragraph, you are somewhat able to capture essence of this post.

Furthermore, Google as a party that stood in the middle between AdSense publishers, AdWords advertisers and users, is a party who has authority to facilitate, in order to succeed Google advertising program in fair and impartial. The steps taken by Google in order to facilitate those three parties, then elaborated in detail into the policy and regulatory of Google, particularly is Google AdSense program policies and Google AdWords advertising policies. In addition, the authority and right of Google in its application, also supported by their advanced and accurate technologies, one of which is algorithmically done by their bots.

Any party, whether the individual or organization, which is in a position like Google, would be in a position which must be able to guarantee the rights and obligations of those three parties as well, which is AdSense publishers, AdWords advertisers and users. And further, especially for a blogger who will register and participate in Google AdSense program, then he must first transform and upgrade its capacity from just a blogger up to an AdSense publisher.

You as an ethical blogger certainly know that there will be many differences between a blogger and an AdSense publisher. One among many differences is, an AdSense publisher is to (inevitably) understand and respect the advertiser interests, while a blogger is not necessarily.

Thus, if there is a blogger who submit his application to Google AdSense program and turns out his blog was disapproved, while he was confident that his blog meets all the criteria as listed in Google AdSense program policies, then there is one big possibility, specifically his blog is not ready yet or is not in accordance with the advertiser interests. Despite that in fact, Google AdSense program policies are already represented advertiser interests.

As an example and illustration, a blog that contains texts of "about me" or a personal blog, usually is original, because it is a self-expression, so that it can be said is in accordance with Google AdSense program policies in terms of originality and context-based content. However, advertisers are people or parties who are doing business by publishing or selling products or something through their websites, in short, it is generally commercial. Consequently, between the original context-based content of about me with the advertiser's commercial subject, do not match, or not yet match.

Unless the blog as mentioned in above example had articles in a large number, so that they meet the criteria of a substantial content, which by itself is relevant and will be in accordance with the advertiser interests. As the essence of all description above, think carefully of advertiser interests when building a blog and do not just hold on to AdSense applicant's point of view.

(Note: the term of "not yet match" in red above, is simply associated to a term of "not allow at this time" in a type of disapproval that contains a clause of: Unacceptable site content: Your website contains content that we do "not allow at this time").

For Google AdSense, Original Content Is More Important Than Top Level Domain

Original Content And Top Level Domain
Some people argue that in order to participate in Google AdSense advertising program, a person must have a top level domain. This opinion has caused the spirit of bloggers in expressing and working through their original articles while earning revenue to be down even disappear. Many of those who only have a subdomain, then leave their blog. Really, this is a very unfortunate fact.

The question is, Is that opinion is true?, It's wrong. Because one of the most important terms to be able to participate in Google AdSense program by becoming a publisher is, a blog content must be original and substantial. That wrong opinion, also has raised another misunderstanding, that is when someone has had a top level domain, he seemed to feel it was safe. And not a few among them who has top level domains, just seem to forget that originality of content as a main criteria or terms is a Must.

After all, Google AdSense is an advertising program that always upholds the principle of equal rights for all people, regardless of differences in race, ethnicity, nation and religion. As long as someone owns and can access the blogs (especially with content management system providing hosting such as Blogger and Wordpress), website or YouTube account, and meet the criteria or terms as stated in Google AdSense program policies, then he is entitled to participate by filling out the application, to then be submitted to Google AdSense team to be reviewed.

Please note, top level domain is simply a condition that is recommended, considering that by using a top level domain, will facilitate internet users in finding information. And also is recommended for those who would pursue a more professional blogging. Conversely, for those who do not have a top level domain, Google AdSense is implicitly suggested to create a blog on Blogger.

So in essence, an original content is more important than just a top level domain, this is not being looked down on essential benefits of a top level domain. And indeed, would be an ideal thing and it makes sense, if an original content owned by individuals and or organizations, published via a blog or website with TLD (top level domain).

For those of you who've just heard and or interested to participate in Google AdSense program, give a thick underline at the phrase of original content. Original content is the fundamental requirement that you must meet, original content is not just "your own words," but also "your own ideas" including all media (video, image etc) is in your website or blog, especially if you want to feel more safe in order to sign-up.

Even if you only use a subdomain, you will be very worthy to participate in Google AdSense program when you have content that is truly original in all aspects, that you build with your great efforts. Next, you just have to ensure that your original content is also meet other criteria can be found in content policy explained.

7 Causes Of Why Did Bloggers Do Not Read (The Forgotten) Terms Of Service

7 Causes Of The Forgotten TOS
The following web fact can be said to be one among many ironies in blogging which is the most ironic. This irony is: A blogger wants to read a Terms of Service just after he got problems.

This irony is also, apparently, not depended by personal background of the blogger himself, whether he is intelligent or uneducated, whether he is from a developed country or underdeveloped country and much more. All of these bloggers, have experienced problems such as blog has been deleted, blog has been marked as spam blog and other similar cases. Despite that sometimes, these problems can also occur due to a system error.

However, if it calculated and compared, most blogs that are deleted or problematic, are owned by bloggers who are unethical, or bloggers who do not have ethics yet.

The interesting things behind this irony, and it is very likely to be the causes of why did bloggers do not read and understand the Terms of Service (or other similar regulations) first are not limited to:
  1. Language barrier. The blogger comes from so many countries and languages. When a blogger is from a country of, for instance, A, while language of country A is not used to support a TOS, then he is very likely to not read its Terms of Service. Even if a language is to support a TOS, then translation page of TOS, sometimes, is less than perfect. There is a TOS in English, but obviously, not all bloggers have the ability to use English in which is qualified.
  2. Web is just an unreal world. Perhaps this is the most dominant cause that makes bloggers (especially those bloggers who are blogging just for fun) do not to read and understand TOS. Web regarded merely as a space, where they can do and express all they want, without any party that could ban them in real and decisive. They also tend to think that everything on the web is free to use.
  3. Difference jurisdiction. A rule, including the Terms of Service, as relevant, will refer to the law of a country where a website (TOS) is located. This would tend to make some bloggers from various countries, in which its countries are different from a website's TOS country, do not feel bound by the TOS. In fact, this is completely wrong, even if they come from different countries, they are the party who get service, where, they have an obligation that is binding on them. In this context, it is important for a blogger to maintain good name and dignity of his country.
  4. Slow internet connection (regular). This may sound strange and less logical. But surely there are some bloggers who use slow internet connection, then they set the effectiveness and efficiency of time in blogging, by simply opening pages that are highly relevant to content of their blogs, such as source, reference and other pages that are included in one topic. This will minimize the opportunity for a TOS page, to be read and understood by them.
  5. Bloggers who were bored to TOS pages. They, may be, have very often, used and understood by so many pages of TOS from various websites. They are, slowly, finding common ground among many of these TOS. Finally, they simply click or give a check as a claimed sign of agreement, without reading it thoroughly first. Also, because they are bored with contents of TOS pages. In fact, clear and certainly there are differences between all of Terms of Services on the web. And these differences, which could lead to their blogs deleted.
  6. Because indeed, they are the real newbie bloggers. They were probably can be grouped into classes that have "an exemption". They are ordinary people who really new to blogging, even many of those who are just going to recognize the Internet. Except for those who have high sensitivity and intellect, so they know in terminology, what stands behind the TOS?.
  7. Unethical bloggers, who did consider that a Terms of Service is not essential and only a formality page. Including those who think that even if they violate the TOS, they will have very little chance to get sanctions and punishments because there are tens or even hundreds of millions of bloggers who are under the same TOS. They are the spammers who did have bad intentions in blogging.
Whatever the reasons outlined in 7 causes of above, however, has led to an ironic fact on the web, the Forgotten TOS.

Two Ways Of Blogger In Getting A High Blog Traffic

High Blog Traffic, this is the blog aspect that most hunted by bloggers and webmasters. They did any way to achieve this. The simplest assumption and reasonable for this phenomenon is:
High blog traffic ---- High click on ads ---- High rise of money income
Just as the dynamic of human life in real world, which is divided into two parts; good and bad, in the world of blogging is just same. Some bloggers took high traffic in an ethical manner or natural, others took a bad way. As of appear on this web a type of over high traffic-minded bloggers, they often do spam and they forget the real substance of a blog, that is originality of blog content.

The ways, tricks or techniques to achieve high traffic carried by over high traffic-minded bloggers are manifold. These ways is unique, strange, but also can be said is unethical. There's a blogger in a forum that was having difficulty due to appearance of a blog on Google search results page that is not stable, then he applied a very risky way, namely by providing comments on about 200 web pages, plus put a link in which is his blog URL.

There was another blogger who did the following way, he's looking for and add as much as possible friends on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, after that, he sends a message whose contains invitation to visit his blog. Alas, this way is actually much more risky. This is a way that will greatly disturb the privacy of others, and the most likely cause of risk is, the recipient of his invitation message can flag it as spam, as stated in TOS and Privacy Policy of its platform.

Even if above ways (especially the second way) could result in a high traffic blog, it's just a very temporary, most only 1 or 2 times visit, after that, they fake visitors will get bored by an unethical act of unsolicited mailing. Usually, this is indicated by a 100% bounce rate or only 1 page view. It also indirectly proves that quality of content is the real power of a blog.

Blog Traffic Chart
Different way of bloggers in getting blog traffic
While they, ethical bloggers who with great effort to achieve a high blog traffic, they really learn and live it as a process. They use natural techniques, proportionate and in accordance to webmaster guidelines. Even they seemed to enjoy into an exploration of unique blog content, they always seek and find the spirit of their blog content.

Furthermore, when they get a high traffic blog (non-instant), usually they also get relevant comments on their articles from readers. And even if it takes a long time, position of their blogs on Google search results page, gradually will be more settled. And this will further provide a kind of guarantee of a high blog traffic and regular organic visitors.

Blogger, Google AdSense Unsupported Languages And Learning To Write English Article

Are you a blogger from Indonesia, Malaysia, or perhaps from Philippines?, There must be feeling of sadness within you because you are smart to write original articles, amounting to many, has many readers, but you can not apply your blog to be submitted to Google AdSense program because of the official language of your country is not supported on Google AdSense program. While your inner voice whispered a little justification to you: "I reserve the right to earn extra income for my great efforts in making my original work through Google AdSense."

Forget your sorrow, and grow the principle that Blogging is a Learning!. So that it would be better for you to address this matter positively, and take the wisdom of your blogging more wisely. Due to the existence of a policy of Google AdSense of unsupported languages, you inevitably have to learn English to be able to participate.

Indeed, there must be doubts in yourself that make you pessimistic, where, one of the most difficult of English language is how you apply good and correct grammar by the rules. But remember that learning in all aspects of life, is certainly difficult. And, you are ethical bloggers who are able to confront and defeat this challenge.

There is one thing that need to be underlined by the bloggers in terms of using English in writing articles. This underlined one thing is: An article must have the substance of information, as DNA that make the human can live. That is, DNA or substance of information from an article is the Topic or Theme. When the topic of article that you write already implicit, it's very likely readers will know the substance of information from your article they read. Anyway, those readers will understand that you are not using English as a daily language, and they will surely feel the implication of your efforts in your original article as well.

Besides the sophisticated Google Translate with its translation algorithm, the readers of your articles from United States, Australia, Britain and other countries that use English as its official language, must also be able to cleverly catch of what is meant in your article. As an illustration, just like when you meet an American who came as a tourist to your country. The American was using the language of your country as much as him, but surely, you can understand exactly what is meant by him.

This article is not intended for bloggers to ignore good and correct grammar in using English, but only a little positive feedback to bloggers who are eager to participate in Google AdSense program, which is constrained by the unsupported languages.

Blogger Rights And Obligations And Ethical Blogging

Blogger Rights And Obligations And Ethical Blogging
Actually, I feel a little less convenient to use the word "I" in making an article or post, as this can bring the feel of a lack of objectivity in the article itself. But especially for this post, it seems, I really need the word I, with a hope that the essence of this article can be understood by you, but it is also because, given that my English skill is lacking.

It is about Ethical Blogging. What is ethical blogging?, I think if an ethical blogging reviewed in depth, will produce a discourse that is broad and deep. However, there is a perception which I think is enough to describe what is meant by ethical blogging, namely, ethical blogging in a perception as follows:
Ethical blogging is a blogging activity in which a blogger is able to understand and use its rights and obligations properly, particularly, in accordance with all written regulations on the internet.
This means that, a blogger will and must comply with all rules on the web that will bind him. It must be admitted that for an ethical blogging, will require the capability of a blogger in responding to all things on the web that has potential to bind himself. It also has a sense that, an ethical blogging will be realized, if a blogger has the intellectual capability of sufficient qualified. And will be more optimal for an ethical blogging, if a blogger has an honest attitude and respect.

Why did I include two words namely: Rights and Obligations, in perception or interpretation of above?, this is because, rights and obligations are two aspects of the most essential and substantial in all areas of human life, including in an ethical blogging. Moreover, literally all humans will be able to feel those two important aspects.

Of course, a blogger is not just to feel his rights and obligations, but something far more important is that a blogger should be able to determine and distinguish between his rights and his obligations. And a blogger in the process of doing this, so-called; require a level of intellect, which is quite capable. As an example is when a blogger to read and understand a Terms of Service. Where, a Terms of Service contains legal terms that not all bloggers know or feel familiar. That is, those who do not understand, have to learn.

Meanwhile, for bloggers who have intellectually quite capable, honest and respect, they should have been able to define and distinguish the rights and obligations, and when they are able to use them with appropriate and balanced, they have made an Ethical Blogging.

Blog's Original Content Is Not Just Your Own Words

Original Content Is Not Just Your Own Words
Inevitably, a blogger should learn!. This exclamation phrase is actually arise because triggered by a very strict policy in Google AdSense program policies, which states that a blog or website content must be original. Many people interpret that original content is content to use "your own words." However, if explored further, the underlying meaning of original content is even more than a your own words content.

The term or designation of your own words, is still have a hole, or have weaknesses. This can be illustrated in a simple illustration of the following:
There was a blogger who is very fond of celebrity topics. Every day, he always follow the latest news about celebrities. He found a very interesting actual information on a website A regarding, for example, Taylor Swift wedding budget reached 1 million dollars. Then, he re-publishing that information with his own style and his own words, and he did not do copy and paste at all.
Perhaps, the illustration above is sufficient for you to understand the underlying meaning of what is meant by original content, that 100% original content which is true, is being published by website A. While the blogger only published an information by using 100% his own words, in which, ideas and the actual information substance, is on website A.

What is done by the blogger, will remain have weaknesses, which, his article would result in at least four keywords that exactly match to the article of website A. Four keywords are:
  1. Taylor Swift
  2. Wedding
  3. Budget
  4. 1 million dollars
And if the blogger to reduce or not using one of four keywords above, his article was to be not accurate, irrelevant, and will be different from its actual substance. Conversely, those four key words would be very possible for the bots to detect it as duplicate content. Inevitably, a blogger should learn from how strict Google AdSense in determining the standard of original content, by creating content based on his original idea, for then putted by using his own words in his article. And how important is a true original content, is even more important than a top level domain.

Original Content According To Google AdSense Program And The Example

Original Content
Come to this thread page in Google AdSense help forum, the questioner that his blog disapproved for reason of unacceptable site content issue, apparently have not understood correctly of what is meant by original content in the context of Google AdSense program. Although the answerer has tried to give best answers to the questioner, the questioner seems still less able to agree and understand. It is still reasonable, because certainly, the questioner was disappointed.

Definition of original content based on the version of Google AdSense program, indeed, is have a very high standard and must be adhered to by the applicant. That is, the level of originality must be absolutely 100%. But actually, there is an easy-captured essence behind this case. Specifically, that a blog or website content, would not want to contain words or texts (including images, videos, graphics and other types of content) of the blog or website author's own. Apart of whether its original content will be useful or not for users, in accordance with the interests of advertiser or not, it becomes priority number two. First thing first is the original content.

Then how to check the originality of a content?, The answerer in Google AdSense help forum, usually using Copyscape scanner. But definitely, Google with advanced technology, using tools with detection level which is more precise and accurate, based on algorithms that accountable and rational. Furthermore, the tools concluded whether a website or blog content is original or not.

How to interpret the meaning of original content which in accordance to Google AdSense program?, it can be illustrated simply with the following assumptions:
  1. If there are information on the Internet from A to Y, then the applicant must have or by adding information of Z in his website or blog.
  2. If there are information on the Internet from A to Y, then the applicant may add or to reinforce one of those information, let's say A, but should be using 100% of words belong to the applicant himself, and his website or blog containing different information substance to enrich the information of A.
This article is only to give an idea on how to understand the meaning of original content according to Google AdSense. Also, as an example of an original content. You can check its content originality by highlighting a phrase in this article consists of 32 words in sequence. Then use those 32 words as a query to search on Google.

If there are other pages on the web on Google search results page, whose words are exactly same with the query, then other pages that had trace or copy this article. But if it does not appear at all those 32 words, then this article has not been indexed in Google, and there is no duplication on other web pages. This original article example was made on Blogging Ethically blog at 5:47 AM, at the same date as contained in the header date of this post.

This article is only as an overview and insight in understanding of what is the original content in context of Google AdSense program and may not serve as a standard guidelines.

When A Real Good People Blogging For Money

When A Real Good People Blogging For Money
In terms of blogging for money, Is there a close correlation between the morals of a person (blogger) in his real world and in his world of blogging?, Yes, definitely. Blogging for money as well as someone who is trying to earn money in the real world. Both require commitments, consequences and be able to set priorities. The only difference is, if someone in the real world interact directly (face to face) with others, whereas in blogging, the blogger to interact with others virtually, such as chatting, mailing and discussing in a forum.

People who behave well in the real world, most likely will be blogging with honest, diligent and not easily tempted, especially is honest and diligent or willing to learn. People who behave well, would always try to find the right answer and according to the rules or regulations in his learning process. His intellect and intuition will feel when he finds something odd in blogging. Why?, Because he is used to do in the real world. That is, accustomed to doing good in real world, it will sharpen intellectuality, intuition and sensitivity, in capturing things that felt odd. Or it could be said, emotionally intelligent.

And yes, it is true that when for the first time someone entered the world of blogging for money, he will face a huge phenomenon and highly prospective, namely the Information. This is a time phase where someone can go wrong in taking the decision to move, and probably, it can happen to good people too. And this is what is actually meant by a Temptation. For the record, in all aspects of life, money is the biggest temptation.

Why it can be said as a temptation?. Reasoning plot is as follows, the benefits of an information basically is:
  1. Making people who previously did not know to know.
  2. Making people who already knew became increasingly know
On the basis of information received, then people take some actions (follow up), and it illustrates just how important a piece of information.

Furthermore, someone who is still very lay in his blogging (relatively, including newbie bloggers and good people) would want to share that (important) information with others. His desire is getting higher when he knew that by sharing or providing information to others through blogging is to be able to make money, as an instance, is to become a Google AdSense publisher. And signs that occur very frequently in order to share information to others is by using the modus as follows:
  1. Very lay people looking for information on Google.
  2. On Google search results page, he then went to a website that provides information (clickthrough).
  3. Then, he plagiarized, or copy and paste.
  4. With (very) naive, then he re-publishes on his blog.
Above is a phase that is very tempting for someone who just started blogging for money.

Unconsciously, he assumed that: there are hundreds of millions of people in the world wide web who need those information, while he himself could also provide those information through his blog which can also appear on Google search results page. On the basis of this (somewhat wrong) assumption, he was tempted and did a copyright infringement, or copy and paste.

The reason of why he was not able to get through this temptation is because, he really did not know and understand yet about What, Who and How Google and too money-oriented. But for a lay nonetheless really good people with intellect and high intuition that he was accustomed to use them in his real world, then he will successfully overcome this temptation. In short, a good people have learned in the real world, then he knows blogging for money is also a learning.

Back to the good people who became a blogger and blogging for money. Someone who is good, usually will always hold on to these words: Think before Act. He is not only memorized the words, but really know and understand of when and where he should integrate it into all of his actions and deeds. It eventually became a kind of sixth sense for him, this intuition can only be good, when someone is always working hard in real life. And he's always appreciate and respect the rights of other people in his life.

Not only intuition, his intellect is also growing. He would always read and try to understand rules that bind him, whether written or unwritten. He is learning and learning. When he did not understand something, then he asked who knew better. All of that is the process of raising him, that requires patience, enthusiasm, tenacity and able to put himself in a position that does not conflict with the norms of his society, including work and family environment.

Of all those real things, his reason also getting smarter in interpreting all of things, including a conclusion that being rich can not be achieved in a moment.

Based on such good attitude and personality above, then, a good people to transform and apply for himself in blogging for money. At one time in his blogging, even a good people could leave his blogging activity, because he was able to prioritize which is more important for his life.

Yes, You Have An Approved Google AdSense Account. Then What?

Approved Google AdSense Account, Then What?
Many bloggers or website owners say that to get an approved Google AdSense account is easy, while others said it was difficult. But actually, there is something far more important and must ponder over the following question: When your Google AdSense account has been approved, Then what?.

Yes, indeed, by having an approved Google AdSense account, as it were, a blogger feel like've got the key to everything, just like as a student who has passed a thesis examination. But really, far ahead of them, have been stretched very long winding road. This post is not to discourage you who are blogging to make money, but rather, simply engages you to think clearly and logically, that, no one who became rich in just 1 week, 6 months or perhaps 1 year.

If ever there was one, there must be exceptional, or by a miracle that involves God. And it only happens to those people who really kind and super. Being rich in the context of term, will take a very long time, perhaps the shortest is 5 years of blogging. That's not including financial capital, energy and mind.

When a blogger has got an approved Google AdSense account, so the blogger entered in a situation, in which is almost the same as when the blogger committed to blogging, specifically planning and strategy. However, its plans and strategies becomes more difficult, because it must be coupled with the expertise, and have a care. If not careful, there will be a bad possibility, the Google AdSense account will be disabled.

Furthermore, in implementing the strategy, it must always be in accordance with Google AdSense program policies. And this stage is actually said to be a very long winding road, especially for newbie bloggers. What's strategy?, none other than the strategy to get high traffic, and also maintain it. In addition, for a top level domain alone is difficult, logically, it would be more difficult for just a subdomain.

Except for a for fun blogging, high traffic is not a necessity, but for bloggers who with a great effort to be a Google AdSense publisher, then high traffic is a must. Without high traffic, then its approved Google AdSense account means nothing. If you are a newbie blogger, be very careful in applying the strategies, techniques and tricks to get high traffic. There are a lot of techniques to bring in more visitors, but do you ever think that those techniques are safe and it's not violate Google AdSense program policies?.

That is, you have to (again) learn, even in all matters that are directed to the existence and quality of your blog. And certainly, this will be a very draining time. The (only) way to speed up the acceleration of the progress of your blog, is to buy a wide range of products. Either tools, plugins, softwares, e-books, SEO packages or anything that just leads to 2 things:
  1. To improve the quality of your blog.
  2. To increase and maintain blog visitors.
And even then you should still learn and understand all of these products, and, ensuring that all of these products are safe and in accordance to Google AdSense program policies.

And if you intend to employ or hire someone, or let's say an expert of SEO, then you also have to really recognize the reputation of the person and can really be trusted, including that the person is already well aware with Google AdSense program policies.

Not just a high traffic that can guarantee your blog will be productive, but there is one more important thing, it is the blog content. Blog visitors will leave your blog when they find that content is not relevant and accurate, or simply not useful to them. And how to make a blog content is useful, is to read a lot of references, including a variety of written sources from the real world. These references are not to copy, but for insights.

Getting an approved Google AdSense account is difficult, but keeping it in the right way and safe, is much more difficult.

Don't Learn From The Way Bad Google AdSense Publishers Displaying The Ads

Basically, between the real world with world wide web is similar. Both are inhabited by one of the most beautiful creatures that ever created by God, it's Human. Thus, good or bad the world wide web is in hands of mankind itself. And one thing that distinguish between real world with world wide web is Profession. Real world are those businessmen, politicians, government officials and others, while world wide web are webmasters, bloggers, web designers, gamers, and one example of a more specific profession is, Google AdSense publisher.

A fact on the web shows that millions of bloggers who are blogging, are triggered by the Money Factor. To earn money on the web, one of which is to be a Google AdSense publisher. Then, millions of bloggers vigorously submit their application in order to register, hundreds of thousands of bloggers disapproved and no luck, but hundreds of thousands of bloggers as well, approved or lucky.

Then again, thousands of unethical bloggers who have succeeded to become (newbie) Google AdSense publishers, they just do offhand and rewarding their own success in a dirty manner, they are scheming to encourage user to click on ads, obscuring blog content with ads, displaying ads on pages with content protected by copyright law, or more precisely, intentionally break and violate Google AdSense program policies to make more (dirty) money.

A Tricky Misleading And Encouraging Click Of Google Ads Display
A Tricky, Misleading And Encouraging Click Of A Google Ads Display, For Newbie Bloggers, Don't Learn From This!
A discrepancy has occurred behind the prestige of Google AdSense advertising program, those who disapproved, quite possibly are honest people, who actually just not yet savvy to the rules of the game. Meanwhile, not a few of them that have been approved, are those bad people. Do not know, is it an irony, or is it an anomaly?. But certainly, there is something wrong behind all of this.

Those unethical bloggers and or bad Google AdSense publishers, either directly or indirectly, have taught dirty ways and very misleading to other bloggers, especially to newbie bloggers who are still green and have a conscience inside their blogging. This will be a kind of bandwagon effect, with the simplest assumption is that the number of internet user increase, so then the newbie bloggers will increase as well.

Meanwhile, the newbie bloggers are having a tendency to learn, based only on what they saw on other websites or blogs, for then they make their own conclusions. Included in concluding and guessing on How a Google ads appear on a blog, those newbie bloggers just do not know that when someone has a Google AdSense account, then it can be used on several blogs, including secondary blogs. And these secondary blogs, that are usually used to tricky display the Ads by Google.

An actual fact is there are a lot of Google ads displayed on pages that are protected by copyright law by those who include in bad Google AdSense publishers. At the time of newbie bloggers see this behavior, then they will very likely do the same and it is a bandwagon effect. For newbie bloggers, the best way to learn about Google Adsense is by visiting the AdSense help. Think, be careful and do not learn from the way bad Google AdSense publishers displaying the ads.

Remember that just like in the real world, everything is on the world wide web there must be the rules of the game.

Closely Linkage Between Google Mission And Blog Content

Reputation of a big company is usually reflected in the vision and mission. Vision and mission itself, become a foothold for the company in order to walk on the right track in achieving its objectives. Furthermore, company or corporate strategy both big and small, should refer to the vision and mission. Strategy, specifically, can also be embodied in company motto, meaning of company name, company symbol, and even included in the description of company's mission.

One company that has a great reputation is Google. Google, in addition to their sophisticated technology, also has a powerful mission, namely: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. It must be admitted that this is a very strategic mission and have a long-term value.

For bloggers, given that they would not want to deal with Google, should be able to intelligently understand on what the substance of this Google's mission. Because Google mission is implicit in all of its products and services.

Next, just quote three important words on Google mission and understand it in depth, then apply its substantial meaning each time you make an article in order to build a strong blog content and inter-related. Those three important words are:
  1. Information
  2. Universally accessible
  3. Useful
Three important words mentioned above, has a very strong correlation between each other.

Three Important Aspects To Be Held On A Blog Content
Three Important Aspects To Be Held On A Blog Content
Let's examine the substantive meaning of three important words above:
  1. Simply, Information is anything that can give or add to one's knowledge. Thus, information can be either (in terms of blogging) a word, text, video and image, which when dissected would have data in it. This data was able to assess whether the information is measurable or not measurable. Furthermore, an information which has a lot of (accurate) data, so-called informative. By relevant, an informative information, it would be useful (no.3).
  2. Universally accessible. These are two words, whose meaning is very easy to understand. Universal can be defined as all human beings in the world, especially for all kinds of ages. While accessible could mean easily obtained. If it is associated and combined with information, then this becomes a fundamental aspect that must be owned by a blogger, namely, should be able to provide information, which is easily obtained by users from around the world (and especially for all ages). For example, when a blog's content is about the courtship between a girl and a boy, then this could be categorized as, not universally accessible optimally.
  3. Useful. This is the easiest word to understand both the meaning and substance. Although it is easy to understand, but the word useful actually has a broader context. Nevertheless, there is an indicator or a sign, when an information is useful, namely, information accuracy. An example is when there is a user who searches information about: Which countries use English as its official language?. When there is a blog's article that proportionally, no more no less, providing or answer to that question, then the blog's article is Accurate. That's when the user is entitled to assess and judge a blog, whether useful or not.
In essence, for a blogger who aspire to have blog content that contains three important words as contained in Google's mission, then the blogger must be diligent and patient. Noting also that blogging can be defined as an activity to enrich the information on world wide web.
