Video from you tube

He doesn’t just say it out loud, in fact he doesn’t even mention “clients”, but through his engaging and funny style he reveals some interesting psychological triggers that are sure to be effect if we use them in the way we communicate!

One negative result of progress in computing power in the last 25 years or more is the idea that all you need to be a designer today is to own a computer! yeah right! That’s why I’m going to buy a stethoscope tomorrow and become a doctor!

In the mid-1980s many people were zealously heralding the “new desktop publishing” technology and how it would lead to fantastic new print and innovative new ideas. (This was before the Internet boom of course).

What has actually happened is that unskilled, untrained and often talentless people armed with a Mac and a printer and some of this “magic” software have done more for landfill sites with their rubbish than they have for the world of great design!

A little harsh? Judgemental maybe? Well … yeah .. maybe it is but then the world of the “artist” has historically always been harsh … It has fallen to those who know what they’re doing to speak up and expose the “Emperor’s Clothing”

A clever ad that used “DTP” for a graphic design company used the slogan, “Using Picasso’s paintbrush doesn’t make you Picasso”. Really what they were saying was that there are common and consistent principles that are true now and will be for the foreseeable future …. It’s not just a “value judgement”; it’s just an acknowledgement that great design has components that need to be there and these “components” are consistent regardless of the medium! So although I started this article looking at the DTP software of the print industry of the 80’s, the argument stands as designs transcends the mediums.

Classic Components:

Think of the design elements as building blocks. These elements will be part of everything we design, furniture and consumer products, magazine and billboards, websites, mobile phones apps, games and so on …

In Design there are many elements but here are 5 basic ones:

1. Colour

Colour is perhaps the element that designers are least aware of, if not educated in. One school of thought is that it shouldn’t be considered until all “designed” and then only added to enhance what already exists. This approach encourages minimalism and de-clutters the message, keeping in clear & simple. As you might expect another school of thought that the colour should be one of the first considerations and there is an entire psychology behind what colour means when it is used to convey a message. People pay BIG money to get this right! But my point? Only experience, education and experimentation will help any artist to develop a sense of strategy and good colour. Your friends next door neighbours nephew who’s a wizard on the computer and had Dreamweaver isn’t necessarily going to know dick about the importance of colour!

2. Direction

Great design layouts, whether in magazines or on the computer screen, usually imbues a sense of movement. Design should take the reader by the hand and guide them across the page/screen using all the element we’re discussing here. The designer should realise that he/she is empowered to lead the viewer to whatever he/she wants them to see and those buying the services of designers should be aware of this too! After all, this kind of design is commercial in birth and is used to generate sales … or more bluntly … to make money!

3. Texture

Provides a textured “surface” feel, touch and in printed matter, so that the selection rate paper, tissue, covered – is a design decision too. Textured Design for broadcast on television or the Internet are only visually, but still key and don’t be fooled .. visual tricks can be used to give a real sense of texture! Why do you think that all those awful adverts selling fabric conditioner have women hugging and rubbing their clothes on their faces!

4. Lines and Line Work

These conditions do not mean “pen and ink or pencil”, but the borders, frames and rules. Horizontal or vertical, thick or thin, regular or irregular, this all helps define and establish the space around the various elements in your pages. So, good linework increases readability and “Directionality” (see # 2) for the project as a whole.

5. Shape

Any contoured, formed or enclosed area is a shape. The most readily used forms are square or rectangular designs, but said there are no hard rules here! Just because it’s familiar doesn’t make it right for your design! I’ll always remember my DTP teacher Jayne who would often say; “Know all the rules so that when you break them you do so for the sake of great design and not just because you haven’t the faintest idea what you’re doing!”

Balancing & Interest

Other considerations in the process of making good design decisions, such as the feeling of space, balance, and emotion and action. There’s also contrast, repetition and the list just goes on! What is important for the inexperienced designers to remember that “less is more.” You can often spot an amateur a mile away as he/she crams every little space available with noisy info or design! Instead of pulling every trick and tool in the bag, a designer must remember the ultimate goal of the designed piece, the ultimate reason of the entire design … I’m not talking about demographics or anything complicated here just the basics .. and the basic point of any good design is this; draw in your viewer/reader so that you can deliver your message.

So the next time you think that you’ll just “slap something together” like some internet marketers would have you believe you can do, just stop for a moment and think about it. Does standing in your garage with a spanner make you a mechanic? Of course it doesn’t! So what makes you think that by having a computer and a design programme that somehow you’re a web designer or graphic designer? Come on- really?

And yes .. in case you’re wondering … even though I’m embarking on this new adventure of Internet Marketing, my background is in graphic, digital and web design as well as video and indie film production so yeah .. you could say I know what I’m talking about. If you have any questions, comments or if you’d be interested in any securing my services then either comment below or contact me using the contact form above.

I’m not even going to mention any company names here, that’s how much contempt I hold them in! And why? Because it’s illegal! How strongly can I word this. If you want your Adsense account to be shut down FOREVER, then go right ahead and try these exchange services …

Using Google Adsense honestly

Google is not daft! You surely don’t think that a company with their resources hasn’t found a way to track these types of services? Have a go, get some clicks, smile as you see the earnings leap then weep when a few days later an e-mail comes from the AdSense team to say that your AdSense account has been closed for fraudulent clicks.

And don’t think that it’s limited to Google either! Other networks, such as PPC RevenuePilot, are on the ball too! They may not close the account, instead they’ll slash your earning per click to mere cents if anything even if it just looks suspicious!

So to wrap up … there are no short cuts, (only ones that have a legal team knocking on your door!) So apply yourself. Make small adjustments in your Adsense ads, test & retest. See what others in the field are doing and emulate them … in other words … do it right, get it right and earn! Don’t be naive; think long term, NOT short term!

Read Your Prospects MInd and WIN!

If you already use Google AdSense on your pages you obviously feel the need to somehow even more traffic to your website, which in turn would lead to more AdSense click and a higher income.

But how to do it? Well, the greatest way to get your visitors to see, which (with the exception of AdWords, which I’m going to do soon too!), is the use of certain techniques to have search engines send more and more users on your site, by the high ranking in the search for your topics of interest.This is a technique, better known as search engine optimization or simply SEO. Here are some tips that virtually any amateur or professional should put in their optimizer’s tool-belt.

The first thing you need to ensure that is the actual source code and layout of your page is as simple as possible. The problem is when AdSense and the search engines themselves begin to have problems in the extraction of relevant keywords on your page because of a too complex layout or code, or worse .. just messy code from cutting and pasting and butchering other sites together to make your own! (Yes it goes on!)

Secondly, try each of your pages or posts on a particular topic. In this way, it is much easier for them to properly indexed and for the AdSense ads to be in accordance with the content of the page itself.

Next, try to avoid too many hyperlinks on your page and don’t put too many AdSense ads on your page either. People will know them for what they are, (ads screaming BUY! BUY!), and avoid them like the plague!

Forthly; are there certain keywords you wish to target, make sure the word you want to target is in the title, in the first paragraphs, and in the name of the file, (if appropriate).

And of course, it is very important for your content to be original content. How do you generate it? Well, the easiest way to do it is to find something you’re really passionate about. In this way, you can right in an informed way. Even if it’s a relatively new topic or area for you, if you’re passionate about it you’ll be willing to learn and employ your new knowledge as you go on! (That’s very much what I’m doing now!)I find that as I’m passionate about marketing online that I don’t mind the learning curve and I tend to then write fresh content about what I learn that hopefully you the reader will enjoy!

If the contents of your site is in the public sector, (which I’d use as little of as possible), make sure you credit and reference the original author and if appropriate, get permission first, (although most article authors will thank you for the opportunity to be on your site if it’s relevant to their business!)

It takes a little while for your article to have an impact on search engine returns but if, after a reasonable waiting period, you still can’t find your page near the top of the searches then you should try rewriting your title and your first and last paragraph. It does not take much, often just changing a few words will give you the right results and test and hone your keywords! This is the vital thing to do, (but don’t saturate your article with it!)

If you need some help with basic keyword research I would suggest starting with Google’s own Keyword tool but if you need a much more
sophisticated keyword and code generator to DRAG money into your account then you really can’t do better than Chuck Mullaney’s KeywordESP! And if you have the best product in the world it doesn’t mean squat because without traffic you’re dead in the water. And you need targeted traffic to get the best results. Anyway, this is where Chuck comes in.

He’s giving away some killer content on how to generate a boatload oftargeted traffic to your offers. In fact, one of his students had an increase of over 500% in just 2 days! This is some amazing stuff. Seriously .. Go check it out HERE. I already own it and have been amazed and how useful it is and NOT just hyped up rubbish! It’s a brilliant way to use a modern SOE Keyword tool to drive traffic to your site! Anyway enough for now ..

Tomorrow I’ll have more on Adsense and Adwords. Til then, remember, do the methods to succeed!

Money in the Bank

Its very important for a rapid adoption of AdSense that its very easy for publishers to get Ads on your site as soon as possible. The integration of AdSense on your site takes just a few minutes, and you can be on your way with one or more well integrated AdSense ads.

The first thing we need to do is to navigate Google Adsense.  Log in to apply for an account and password, (assuming you dont have one). There follows a description of the page Google AdSense Terms you must agree to continue.

Next page is a one that shows you about the details of how your AdSense account and the best way to go about generating your advertising. At the top of the page also links to the configuration where you can enter the code that must be inserted on your site that generate the AdSense banners.

You can use AdSense for text (ads) and a with a search box or instructions. Finally, a “My Account” tab that allows you to set details for that account, payments and Tax Information. To add a text ad on your site, return to the ‘AdSense Setup’ in the tab-click “AdSense for Content” link. Make sure you have cookies enabled.

You can make a choice between ads and link blocks. The former contains, or text and images in connection with a determined for each location, the master with a detailed description, the latter only links to specific types.

Of course, it’s a bit difficult to know which type you should use, so you should experiment with both for a time to decide. The next step is the choice of form and color adding. Basically you can use any color you want and Google offers some of its. This is an important stage. Dont discount it thinking colour isnt important!

As a graphic designer I see the importance of colur everyday in marketing and I cant emphahsis it enough! Whats important at a basic level is that you match the coloures as much as possible to two or three of the most dominant colurs on your website site or even if you want to get really particular, on each page if theyre so diverse. (The way to do this is to create a new ad for each page and colur accordingly with each ad generated)

However, their limited ad-format has a selection of one ounces formats. It’s an “Ad Formats” link which has to a page that allows you to everyone, including those in action, so you can decide that fits into a better place. Sometimes more intrusive die, no work best, but this can vary from place to place.

After the adjustment, you can click on “Go” at the bottom of the page. The fact that now with a section entitled “AdSense for Content. You can click on a portion of the text and shows that the JavaScript required to implement AdSense. This automatically selects the text in the Box.

Then you can also insert adjacent pages. If the dynamic pages to this Template code in your view is the end of every secure page on your site. Some Advertisers do not choose to AdSense on every page, and this is understandable. An example is a Company that is AdSense, may also be conditions that inevitably the legal means that is probably unsuitable.

What’s then left for you to do is to access your site. Google AdSense crawlers will soon visit your website, was that the ads that his ideas for your site Content. And there’s all done. For a simple page this should be a matter of Minutes and thatsthe choice of AdSense users. Although it is quick, its mass appeal works. Its incredibly popular and the choice of advertisers and publishers alike! Now Go get your slice of the pie!
