According to Jason Calacanis it is quite easy to get one million a year: get 2,739 Dollars a day ;)
To get this you need about 103 bloggers and nine staffers in your little big company. Weblogs, Inc. is about to get $ 2,739 a day in a few weeks I think, but they will be at 3,000 to 5,000 within this year says Jason.
But we all know: The first million is the hardest
You will never now, which link has the rel="nofollow" attribute without reading the sourcecode. Wait! Matt Cutts found a way making nofollow links visible via CSS.

This can be used to hide them too.
The well known A List Apart is undergoing a redesign. I got two different versions today while browsing on two different networks.
Here is a screenshot:

from this day on, I will post in english @ kloeschen.com
My german visitors should visit kloeschen.de, which will be online in a few minutes/hours. I will not delete the german posts on this blog, since they are already indexed by all mayor search engines and I don’t like dead links. Some of my new posts will be translated, but not every post. The categories will be renamed or replaced by a tagging powered engine.
Please stay tuned and visit this page on a regular basis ;)

But then he just scrolled through the index-page without visiting a single post. Bad. Remark 2: Use excerpts to catch visitors attention and do not show the entire post on the index pages, which was my fault.
My visitor was suprised coming to google while using my site search. Why is he back at google, after clicking a search result of a google search to come to my blog? Remark 3: Use blog internal search engine if available rather than google By the way, I didn’t receive any adsense click by "Adsense for search" until now.
I added some nice blogging-features the last weeks like recent posts and next/prev-navigation links which he couldn’t find since he was just browsing through my index page and some categories and I have implemented them on the single post pages only Remark 4: read remark 2 again.. I will have to change that.
Not everybody of us can observe a visitor exploring the blog, but there are some tools which might help.

Heute erkläre ich, warum ich auf Adsense Werbung klicke.
Today I will show you why I do click on adsense links.

Ich bin Bannerblind! Das bedeutet ich klicke nie auf irgendwas buntes, was sich evtl . auch noch bewegt und Töne von sich gibt. Da dies aber auf vielen Seiten der Fall ist, habe ich meinen Firefox gepimpt und ihm einen Adfilter eingebaut. Dieser funktioniert hervorragend. Nun sehe ich aber auch auf meiner Seite die von mir eingesetzten Werbungen nicht. Da ich die aber gerne sehen möchte, habe ich die entsprechende Filterregel entfernt. Nun kommt die Adsense Werbung aber auch auf anderen Seiten in mein Blickfeld. Und was soll ich sagen? Da ist tatsächlich relevantes zu finden. Selten klicke ich auf Werbung, wenn ich einfach nur drauf los surfe. Suche ich aber etwas bestimmtes, schaue ich mir auch die Sponsored Search Results bei google an und auch die Adsense Einblendungen auf Seiten, die ich besuche.
Dort wird naturgemäß relevante Werbung angezeigt und warum sollte ich die Seiten nicht besuchen? Nur weil die Webmaster nicht wissen, wie sie ihre Seite für google optimieren können und ich sie so nicht sofort finde?
Am Liebsten jedoch klicke ich auf die Linkblöcke, welche mir mehrere relevante Werbungen anzeigen. Da öffne ich gerne auch mal 2 oder 3 Seiten, was für den Seitenbetreiber natürlich hervorragend ist, aber warum auch nicht, ich hoffe ja schließlich auch, dass meine Besucher ähnlich reagieren.
Dank der Adsense Werbung bin ich schon des öfteren auf verschiedene sehr interessante Seiten gekommen und habe gute Softwareprodukte gefunden, die ich sonst vergeblich gesucht hätte.
Mein Tipp also: Ad-Blocker installieren aber die Filterregeln für adsense entfernen.
I’m bannerblind. I will in no case click on any colorfull, animated or blinking banner. Since I do visit pages which are using advertisements like that, I pimped my firefox and installed an ad-blocker. This works very good. But I don’t see the ads on my page any more, so I don’t see what some of my visitors see. Therefore I removed the adsense-expression from my adblocker to get the adsense again. From that time on I do see the adsense links and what shall I say, they are relevant.
With this in mind I do check them out, even at the search result pages at google and on every page I visit. Since the ad is on the same topic like the page, I have no reason not to click on it. Most of the time I click on the adlinks since there are more relevant links for me. It happens that I do visit 2 or more of this pages, which will give the webmaster even more money. But why not? I do hope that my visitors will do this too ;)
Due to this links I found very good pages and tools which I haven’t found while searching in google and co.
My tipp: install an adblocker but remove adsense-expression to find relevant pages
Ich weiß, es passt nicht direkt hier hin, aber ich habe gerade entdeckt, dass Frau Merkel in den USA angekommen ist:

For the last weeks, I had to work at night. While working I had much spare time because of some very old servers. I used this time to publish many posts to my blogs.
But unfortunately I didn’t get that much visitors during this time. Therefore I experiment a little bit with the time I publish the posts. Here are my experiences.
Publish your posts when your targeted audience is able to read it. By clicking publish in your blogging-software the post will be saved in the database. But there happens a bit more.
By publishing a post trackbacks are send, you are using trackbacks, right? Most blogs do show the last trackbacks the blog received. This is good for our blog, since every visible link can be clicked. But what happens if none of our targeted audience is watching? Maybe our trackback will be supressed by some newer ones and our potential readers can’t see it.
For pings it’s nearly the same. Some blog directories show the latest posts on the homepage. But you won’t get any visitors referred by this page, if your post is visible at 03:47 in the night (targeted audience!).
Some websites do read your feed, you have a newsfeed, right? They show the latest entries on there homepage or the homepage of a category. Are you reading this page in the night, while sleeping?
When I blog for the german market I publish the posts to be online at local daytime. But when I post for my english speaking audience, I try to publish the post at a time, my potential readers are not sleeping.
Publishing at the right time can result in some extra visitors, not that much, but for a small blog enough ;)
