1. Place hidden text or links on your blog.
You think you can outwit Google by changing your text color to blend with your blog's background? Perhaps hiding your text behind images might go unnoticed? How about shrinking those fonts to a size zero? Many in the past have used these methods to boost their blog's ranking for Keyword searches in Google, yet a few or perhaps none that actually succeeded. Care to try?

2. Sending automated queries to Google
Google hates to be disturbed. If you intend to see them, make an appointment first.

3. Stuffing your blog with keywords
"I love to Blog and I want my Blog to be read by Blog readers who love to Blog. Blog is good, Blog is great, Blog is all I wish to have" is a classic example of stuffing your blog post with the keyword Blog. Although it sounds like a retard writing and repetiting over how much he or she loves Blog, it worked great to boost a site's search rank when it was first abused. Another method is to flood your meta tags with the same keyword. Try repeating the same keyword for a thousand lines in your meta tag and I'll guarantee you that your blog would never see another viewer from Google again, ever!

4. Duplicating your contents
This is another method to get your blog banned from Google. Say you write an article about how good looking you. Finding that one blog ain't enough to tell the whole world, you create 10 clone blogs that contain the same articles as the first one. Put yourself in Google's shoes, would you read a same article about "how good looking someone is?" 11 times over without getting irritated?

5. Making your blog a threat to readers
What I'm saying here is that if your blog contains scripts that automatically install adwares, malwares, spywares or trojans on your reader's browser, they aren't going be very happy about it. An unhappy reader is potential whiner. When Google hears about your great blog making their customers whinning unhappily, I pray that you have a strong reason later when you submit your blog for Reconsideration.

There are many other unscrupulous methods that could get your blog/site banned from Google. I've picked five that I strongly believe are related to bloggers and blog in general. The explanations above are written in a simplified version to allow easy understanding especially for new bloggers. You can get more comprehensive explanations from Google Support using this LINK

If you find your site not appearing in Google searches due to the above reasons, you can still make an appeal to the great yet merciful Google. Make sure you've removed all these so called "unintentionally mistakes" from your blog before submitting to Google for Reconsideration.

Cheers and Happy Blogging!

When you talk about using blogs or site to earn money from the Internet, the first thing that comes out of it is Google AdSense. How many times have you come across forum and threads idolizing Google AdSense? How many times have you seen blogs stop updating after getting their AdSense accounts banned by Google?

Would you be demotivated to blog if your AdSense account got terminated for no reason? What if your application to Google AdSense receives this reply:

In fact this is the very reply I got from Google Adsense for my most recent application. I did feel the sudden pang of demotivation when I received that reply from AdSense. Never the less, I knew very well that my past actions have come back to haunt me. I'm paying the price of a folly committed by myself four years ago.

I started blogging four years ago and was rather excited when I came across Google AdSense at that time. I thought to myself, I just need to place the Google ads on my blog and if people click on the ads, I get paid. By God, is Google giving out free money to me??

So I registered myself and approval was given almost instantly (unlike nowadays where an application for Google AdSense requires days to get a response from them).

Those days, there was no guide on how to add Google Ads to your blog. Furthermore, using Blogger Classic was a horror for beginners likes me. I knew nuts about HTML and you expect me to stick a bunch of codes from Google AdSense into my blog?

It took me hours and probably days to get the right placement of ads into my Blogger Classic template. I had to paste the code, save the template and view it to see if the codes fit correctly. This was repeated over and over again until I was satisfied with it. Now that the ads are up, I'm ready to make some fast money. I click on the ads once and then log in to my Google AdSense account. Wow! my account has been credited with a few cents from that one click. I click again on the same ad and refresh my AdSense account page, more money got added.

Back then, I had no idea that my IP was tracked by Google. Back then, I was totally ignorant about the terms and condition of Google AdSense. How was I know to what is wrong or right when all I did was click "I Agree" during the registration. The only thing obvious to me that time is clicking the ads as many times a possible to generate more income for myself.

After days and probably weeks of clicking my own ads, I received an email from the AdSense Team. Were they sending me an email to congratulate me for being the top clicker? Or is it time to pay me for dilligently clicking on their Ads? I opened the mail, my heart beating with excitement as I expect to see some good news.

Alas, there were no congratulatory words in the mail! Neither was there a single sentence saying that a cheque has been sent to me. I couldn't believe my eyes as I read the mail over and over again. My account has been TERMINATED! What in the world have I done wrong?

Back to the present, you can see how naive I was then. Once your name has been blacklisted by Google AdSense, you can never again apply for a new AdSense account using the same name. Use another name? Well the cheque payment from AdSense is issued to the registered name, so if you intend for some stranger to earn money from your ads, go ahead and proceed.

Four years have past since then. I regretted my action but there is no turning back. Life has to go on. I still love to blog, with or without AdSense. There will be other alternatives to make money from blogging. I'm still here posting articles, getting a Dot Com domain and starting a site to help other bloggers. Has my blogging world ended the day Adsense left me four years ago? I guess not.

A piece of advice for anyone who has just started blogging and want to use Google AdSense for your blog. Please and I repeat please read the Terms and Condition stipulated by Google AdSense before you click the "I Agree" button. When it comes to money, large corporation like Google can be pretty strict with their policies. No amount of plea or appeal will get you clean again once you're blacklisted.

Remember this and remember well my dear readers,

NEVER EVER CLICK YOUR OWN ADS!

P.s : Thinking of some other ingenuis way to outwit Google? Think twice! A 200 billion dollar corporation isn't run by dimwits you know.

Good luck making money and happy blogging to all.

As promised from my previous article, I will be sharing a simple guide on how to replace your blogspot static header with a dynamic header. The steps require you to add a few lines of codes to your template's HTML. Once the codes added, it will automatically switch the arrangement of your blog's heading as shown in the picture below.

My page with Static Header(Click To Enlarge)

My page with Dynamic Header(Click To Enlarge)

By having your blog post title appear first instead of your blog main title, you prevent Google crawler from treating all your post as duplicates. If you were to maintain the static header, Google crawler tend to omit results because the crawler sees each post as having the same header, in this case your blog's main title header. That explains the reason why you occasionally see this message appearing at the bottom of your searches (especially when you try searching for your own blog):

"If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included."

Now that you are convinced with the benefit of having a dynamic header, lets move on to adding the dynamic header to your blogspot.

Step One
As usual, backup your blog's template before making any changes to your template HTML.

Step Two
Start by locating the following HTML codes (located somewhere near the top):

<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<b:skin><![CDATA[/*

Delete this line from your code:

<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

Copy the dynamic header codes from here:

<!-- newtitle -->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<b:section id='titleTag'>
<b:widget id='Blog2' locked='false' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'>
<b:includable id='nextprev'/>
<b:includable id='backlinks' var='post'/>
<b:includable id='post' var='post'><data:post.title/></b:includable>
<b:includable id='commentDeleteIcon' var='comment'/>
<b:includable id='status-message'/>
<b:includable id='feedLinks'/>
<b:includable id='backlinkDeleteIcon' var='backlink'/>
<b:includable id='feedLinksBody' var='links'/>
<b:includable id='postQuickEdit' var='post'/>
<b:includable id='comments' var='post'/>
<b:includable id='main' var='top'><title><b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'><b:include data='post' name='post'/></b:loop> | <data:blog.title/></title></b:includable>
</b:widget>
</b:section>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/> - BloggerResource</title>
</b:if>
<!-- end newtitle -->

Paste the copied code directly above the CDATA code. It should look something like this:

<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<!-- newtitle -->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<b:section id='titleTag'>
<b:widget id='Blog2' locked='false' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'>
<b:includable id='nextprev'/>
<b:includable id='backlinks' var='post'/>
<b:includable id='post' var='post'><data:post.title/></b:includable>
<b:includable id='commentDeleteIcon' var='comment'/>
<b:includable id='status-message'/>
<b:includable id='feedLinks'/>
<b:includable id='backlinkDeleteIcon' var='backlink'/>
<b:includable id='feedLinksBody' var='links'/>
<b:includable id='postQuickEdit' var='post'/>
<b:includable id='comments' var='post'/>
<b:includable id='main' var='top'><title><b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'><b:include data='post' name='post'/></b:loop> | <data:blog.title/></title></b:includable>
</b:widget>
</b:section>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/> - BloggerResource</title>
</b:if>
<!-- end newtitle -->
<b:skin><![CDATA[/*

Your last step is to move the <head> between the dynamic header code and the CDATA code. The final arrangement of your codes should look something like this:

<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<!-- newtitle -->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<b:section id='titleTag'>
<b:widget id='Blog2' locked='false' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'>
<b:includable id='nextprev'/>
<b:includable id='backlinks' var='post'/>
<b:includable id='post' var='post'><data:post.title/></b:includable>
<b:includable id='commentDeleteIcon' var='comment'/>
<b:includable id='status-message'/>
<b:includable id='feedLinks'/>
<b:includable id='backlinkDeleteIcon' var='backlink'/>
<b:includable id='feedLinksBody' var='links'/>
<b:includable id='postQuickEdit' var='post'/>
<b:includable id='comments' var='post'/>
<b:includable id='main' var='top'><title><b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'><b:include data='post' name='post'/></b:loop> | <data:blog.title/></title></b:includable>
</b:widget>
</b:section>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/> - BloggerResource</title>
</b:if>
<!-- end newtitle -->
<head>
<b:skin><![CDATA[/*
