Shared Hosting

Shared hosting is when a number of websites of different merchants or enterprises are hosted on a single server and all of the website shares all assets of the servers such as RAM, storage capacity, CPU velocity, bandwidth and so on. It has minimal subscription rates compared to other hosting types. The drawback of this type of hosting is, sometimes your website may not get the sufficient computing energy and your downtime may be high.

VPS Hosting

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server is a virtual server machine sold as a service by an Internet Hosting Service. It has extra options and performance compared to shared hosting however lesser that dedicated server hosting. Here one devoted server is parted into a number of virtual servers. However, CPU velocity is shared with all virtual server accounts. 

Dedicated Server Hosting

The third and probably the most powerful hosting is dedicated server hosting. Here you get the full root access to your server. You can carry out desired actions, install software add-ons, which is not offered by shared hosting services.

How to increase RPM and CTR: Google Adsense Optimization

by Leave a Comment

Earn More Money from Google Adsense


Getting a good blog running and still end up with less revenue issue is one of the nightmares after Google Adsense (or any ad network) is approved. With the correct and opt optimization, you can actually earn more than you expect. Once you are approved for Adsense (for the sake of me, here onwards I will be referring Google Adsense as an example) you are all your own, just placing them randomly won’t bring you any revenue. Take a look at a few of the strategies that will really help you out.

Please note that, it is always recommended to follow the Adsense/Ad network policies. This post does not include any black hat SEO or content techniques that will affect your Adsense or any such.

Running Ads on the side bars.

This is the most common and native ad placement method, this actually gains us page views if the reader land on any page in the blog or website. Since we don’t want to do anything stupid and get Adsense into trouble, let’s just do it the Google way. We will just place 2-3 Ads only on one page. It is always recommended that you place one leader board on top of the blog/site (780×90). This will really make a difference as the viewers will definitely view the ad once they land on the page which will finally end up in more ad views. The right side bar Ad placements are visibly good looking and really does the job. But make sure your ads are responsive. You don’t want Ads disrupting the content that is against Adsense policy.

In post Ad placement

In post ad placement is the best way for making revenue. In post can gain you really more RPM. If you take a look at my ad unit placement and in post RPM you can definitely see the difference in the RPM I received. In post Ads is the magic, if placed properly along with images and links you can really increase your turnover and hence higher CTR. If you place ads within the content, it will hike the CTC and CTR as the ads are showing more relevant to the content. Imagine I write an article nearly hosting and I place ads within the content, behind Google starts showing ads connected to the content the chances of getting clicks are comparatively more comparing to the clicks you would have got placing ads in the sidebar.
With the best Ad strategies comes more revenue. Please do make sure you don’t disrupt the content by placing more ads and less content. I would recommend you place ‘responsive ads’ between posts in order to avoid incompatibility in various screen sizes and devices. Don’t forget the mobile users, though the ads you place will appear on mobile devices, it is always recommended that you also include mobile ads along with the other ad units too.  Also keep in mind, use recommended ad units and responsive ad units in order to increase user engagement and more revenue,

And not last but the least, the analytics. Use a good analytic like Google or any other analytic tool to identify the most explored and engaged area in the site/blog by the users and place ad’s accordingly. The targeting audience plays a great role in making the most out Google Ads or any other ad network. Certain countries like USA and United Kingdom gives you more RPM especially Canada with the highest RPM. Take a look at few strategies to target audience and hike the revenue.

Choosing Right Domain Name



Hello Readers, 

Choosing Right Domain Name

Choosing a right and great domain name is an important part of a business.  If you are going to start a blog, writing business or any other online business, it should be the first step. So.. What are the characteristics of great domains? 


They should be short

Great domain names are short and easy to remember. There is no rule about the number or characters. A general guideline is never exceed than 15 characters. As I had mentioned earlier, the shorter the better. Aim for a one word domain. How ever it is a bad idea to have a domain with more than three words.

They should be easy to remember

Many internet users are not using bookmarks. They memorize domain names of websites they like and type when they want to visit once again. If your domain name is complex, you will loose them.

Be selective on domain names

Domain Names

Organizations may prefer .org domains. while companies may prefer country targeted domain names like *.in, *.co.uk. Huge companies may have main domain and country targeted domains. beside these cases, *.com domain is the best option.The .com extension is very popular on world and people remembers website as .com

They should be descriptive 

Choosing Right Domain Name

Many visitors lands to website via search engines and links from other websites. If your domain name is descriptive, your visitors will get idea about what your website regarding before entering. And if it contains relevant keywords, can helps you to rank high on search engines.


Should be brandable 

Should not contain numbers or hyphens 

Giving numbers and hyphens in domain names is bad idea. Because, if your domain is, techie-feeds.com, people only remember ‘techie’ and ‘feeds’ and forgot about the hyphen.. This will leads them to another website. 
In case of numbers it will cause confusion with the spelling. domain6.com will confused with domainsix.com
