Using WebParts in ASP.Net 2.0

2007-05-20T14:02:00.001Z

Published: 01 Mar 2007
By: Abdul Sami
This article describes various aspects of using webparts in asp.net 2.0.
Introduction

It would not be wrong to say that Webparts are going to be the future of web based management systems. WebParts give us the option of dragging and dropping of objects on a page as well as, changing titles and border style properties of objects at runtime. Before the introduction of WebParts it was used to be a hectic task because we had to write a lot of JavaScript and had to save the state of objects in a database.

There are two basic things in WebParts:

* WebPart manager
* WebPart zones

WebPartManager

The WebPartManager is the manager for all webparts. If you use webparts in your web projects you are required to use the WebPartManager. Usually you just drag and drop this into your webform and are ready to go.
WebPart Zones

There are four kinds of zones in webpart zones:

* WebPart Zone
* Editor Zone
* Catalog Zone
* Connection Zone

WebPart Zone

The webpart Zone is the basic unit for webparts. By placing different contents in a webpart zone we can allow a user to drag and drop contents on a page.

To use different zones add a dropdownlist to your webform and add the following items to it.

* Browse
* Display
* Edit
* Catalog
* Connect

Paste the following code in the SelectedIndexChanged event of the dropdownlist (this assumes the dropdownlist's id is cmbOptions and the webpart Manager's id is WebPartManager1).

if (cmbOptions.SelectedValue == "Design")
{
WebPartManager1.DisplayMode = WebPartManager.DesignDisplayMode;
}
else if (cmbOptions.SelectedValue == "Browse")
{
WebPartManager1.DisplayMode = WebPartManager.BrowseDisplayMode;
}
else if (cmbOptions.SelectedValue == "Catalog")
{
WebPartManager1.DisplayMode = WebPartManager.CatalogDisplayMode;
}
else if (cmbOptions.SelectedValue == "Edit")
{
WebPartManager1.DisplayMode = WebPartManager.EditDisplayMode;
}
else if (cmbOptions.SelectedValue == "Connect")
{
WebPartManager1.DisplayMode = WebPartManager.ConnectDisplayMode;
}

Browse mode

The Browse mode is the default mode of webparts. In Browse mode we can not drag and drop the webparts but we can see two options, minimize and close. Minimizing a webpart will still display it in minimized state. If you choose close then it can only be restored while being in catalog mode which we will discuss later in this article. Here's a sample webpart being displayed in Browse mode.
Design mode

In design mode we can drag drop objects between webparts. There are two webparts named as Links and Search. The following screenshot shows the Links webpart being dragged over the Search one.

Edit Mode

The edit mode is used to edit webparts at runtime. Editing a webpart is further divided into four types: Appearance, Behavior, Property and Layout. We will first see how to use the Appearance and LayoutEditorPart.
AppearanceEditorPart and LayoutEditorPart

First, place an editor zone into the web form. Then place an AppearanceEditorPart and LayoutEditorPart inside the editor zone. Run the application and select the edit mode from the dropdownlist. Click edit from the menu available for webparts.

You will see following output.

We can change the title of the webpart here. We can also see some basic options in the edit mode. Chrome type is the border and title style. The Chrome state gives you the option of minimizing it or not.
PropertyGridEditorPart

By using the property editor we can change the properties of the objects in our webparts. In our example we are going to change the CSSClass property of the object. To use this we will follow the same method as explained in the AppearanceEditorPart and LayoutEditorPart section.

Place an editor zone into the web form. Then place a PropertyGridEditorPart inside the editor zone. To use the editor zone add a new user control into your project. Place a textbox in the user control and place this user control inside the webpart of the web form. In the code behind of user control paste the following code.

string _cssClass = "FrmTxtBox";
[WebBrowsable(), Personalizable(true)]
public string CssClass
{
get { return _cssClass; }
set { TextBox1.CssClass= value; }
}

protected void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox1.CssClass = CssClass;
}

The above code changes the CssClass of the TextBox. This property will now be available in the webparts edit mode and we will be able to change this at run-time as well. Besides setting the CssClass we have also used two additional attributes in the class declaration:

* WebBrowsable - It allows a webpart to display a user defined property in edit mode.
* Personalizable - It allows a property to be editable.

Now run this page. If we choose the edit mode from the webpart menu, we will see the following edit button in options menu of the webpart. The screenshot below illustrates this.

On selection of the edit link from the webpart menu we will have the CssClass property in edit mode. The screenshot below displays what it would look like:

As we can see this TextBox is using FrmTxtBox as the default class. It is defined in a stylesheet with attributes of border color in black. We can now apply a different class which I have named as CustomClass1, which has no border. After changing the CssClass name, press the OK button and you will see the textbox with the new border style.

This way we change the properties of objects used inside the webparts.
Catalog mode

The Catalog mode gives us the option to add/remove webparts at runtime. For example if we have few modules like weather, news, shopping, horoscope etc. and want to give the user an option to show or hide these modules at runtime, we can accomplish this task using the catalog mode.
CatalogZone

The CatalogZone is divided into three subtypes: PageCatalogPart, DeclarativeCatalogPart and ImportCatalogPart. On the webform add a CatalogZone and add the previous mentioned three types into it. We can show webparts with the help of the Pagecatalog which are closed by using the close option of the webpart, as seen in following screenshot.

The PagecatalogPart displays the number of webparts which are closed by using this option. The DeclarativeCatalogPart displays the number of elements which are added in design mode to the catalog zone. Click on the smart tag option of the DeclarativeCatalogPart zone and select edit template, then add controls into the catalog zone.

ImportCatalog

The ImportCatalog displays the number of elements which have been selected for import. We can import files with the extension .WebPart. To export a file as a .WebPart type add the following line to your web.config.

<webParts enableExport="true"></webParts>

Then we can follow one of these two methods:

* Set the ExportMode property of the control to All. If your control is derived from webpart, you can do this in markup as shown in the following example.

<aspSample:CustomWebPart id="Sample" runat="server" ExportMode="All" />

* Or writing the following code during PageLoad.

GenericWebPart gwp = WebUserControl2_1.Parent;
gwp.ExportMode = WebPartExportMode.All;

Now we can add any of these webparts to our webform, by selecting the control and the zone where we want to add it. The screenshot below illustrates this:
Connect mode

This mode allows webparts to communicate with each other. We can make static connections once (in our code) or we can allow users to create connecttions at runtime according to their needs. The Connection mode doesn't mean mean that the webpart is connecting to a database rather means it is connected to other webparts. For example if a webpart contains a grid, used to display some records and we want to filter it on the users input, then we could use a textbox in another webpart, which would send the filter criteria text by using the connect mode.

In our example we will place two WebParts on a page. One will be for the user input and the other for showing it. In your web project create two user controls - one will be named Provider and other Consumer. Place these two controls in webparts. Add a new class in the App_Code directory and name it ITextProvider. Paste the following code in it.

public interface ITextToPass
{
string GetText();
}

We are going to use this interface in both Provider and Consumer user controls to pass text between these two entities.

Place a textbox in the Provider user control and paste the following code in the code behind.

public partial class ProviderWebPart :

System.Web.UI.UserControl, ITextToPass
{
[ConnectionProvider("TextToPass", "TextProvider")]
public ITextToPass GetTextTransferInterface()
{
return ((ITextToPass)(this));
}

public string GetText()
{
return TextBox1.Text;
}
}

As you can see we are implementing the ITextToPass interface which we have just created. By using this interface we return text entered in the TextBox to pass it to the Consumer user control. We also used the ConnectionProvider attribute which exposes a webpart connection point. For more details about that you can read the following article.

Next place a Label in the Consumer webpart and paste the following code in its .cs file.

[ConnectionConsumer("Text", "TextConsumer")]
public void GetTextTransferInterface(ITextToPass provider)
{
Label1.Text = provider.GetText();
}

The Consumer Connection point doesn't return any value. It utilizes the value from the provider by using the ITextToPass interface.

Now on selecting the connection mode from the WebpartManager, we can see the connect option in the webpart's menu.

For the sake of simplicity I have changed the text of the button. When we click connect from the menu we will see following screen.

Click on the Create a connection to a Consumer and you will see the following screen. Select the webpart as a consumer from the dropdownlist.

Once you are connected you will see the following screen, which allows you to enter the text to pass to the Consumer - enter string A String.

Once you have pressed the Pass Text To Other Webpart button you will see in the following screen that the Consumer webpart shows the passed text in a Label control.

This way we can pass values from one webpart to another. As I mentioned earlier we can set static connections in our code, so users will not be able to set the Provider and Consumer by themselves.
Saving the Page State

Before we run the project, one question that arises in my mind is: where is this page settings going to be saved for every user? Any page setting modified by the users will remain as it is; these settings are saved in a database. In our scenario we are going to use the built in login and sign up controls. Lets get started:

First of all you should set the authentication mode to Forms in your Web.Config file. Then add a new webform to your project called Login.aspx. Drag and drop a login control in it, and set the DestinationPageUrl property of it to default.aspx. Add another webform to your project called Signup.aspx - drag and drop the CreateUserWizard control on this page, so that users can easily register. Also make sure that the Sql Express service is running. We are going to use the default asp.net database called ASPNETDB.mdf which is automatically created in applications app_data folder. This database already has the appropriate schema to save the page state for every user. The screenshot below shows how you should see your database in the Visual Studio explorer.

The table aspnet_PersonalizationPerUser is used to saves the page settings for every user. It is saved in serialized format, in the PageSettings field. Luckily we do not need to touch that table at all, because asp.net 2.0 provides us with the necessary Personalization API.
Setting Up the Database

To create the database to store our page settings, run the utility named as aspnet_regsql.exe. It is located in the \Windows\Framework\v2.0.50727 folder. This utility helps us create the tables and stored procedures required to create the database. Following is the screenshot of the wizard provided by this utility:

This wizard creates the following tables in database which we select during this wizard:

The last thing that is left is to change and add some settings in the web.config. Below is how your web.config should look like. It basically enables the Membership and profiles features, which we need for our purpose. Please note that I have also used the <Clear/> tag in the membership and providers tag to remove the settings from the machine.config. Other than that I also added a connection string to my database called Database1.

<connectionStrings>
<clear/>
<add name="LocalSqlServer"
connectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;database=Database1;
user id=sa ;password=sa"/>
</connectionStrings>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"/>
<authentication mode="Forms" />
<membership>
<providers>
<clear/>
<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer"
applicationName="/CustomConnections" />
</providers>
</membership>

<profile enabled="true" defaultProvider="TableProfileProvider">
<providers>
<clear/>
<add name="TableProfileProvider"
type="Microsoft.Samples.SqlTableProfileProvider"
connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer"
table="asdspnet_Profile"
applicationName="/CustomConnections"/>
</providers>
</profile>
</system.web>

Summary

Webparts provide us an easy way to customize our website at runtime. Apart from Sharepoint portal server, webparts are introduced in asp.net 2.0. I have tried to cover all the common aspects of webparts in this article, like using different types of webparts and using a custom database.

1. Build a "101 list". These get Dugg all the time, and often become "authority documents". People can't resist linking to these (hint, hint).

2. Create 10 easy tips to help you [insert topic here] articles. Again, these are exceptionally easy to link to.

3. Create extensive resource lists for a specific topic (see Mr Ploppy for inspiration).

4. Create a list of the top 10 myths for a specific category.

5. Create a list of gurus/experts. If you impress the people listed well enough, or find a way to make your project look somewhat official, the gurus may end up linking to your site or saying thanks. (Sometimes flattery is the easiest way to strike up a good relationship with an "authority".)

Developing Authority & Being Easy to Link At
6. Make your content easy to understand so many people can understand and spread your message. (It's an accessibility thing.)

7. Put some effort in to minimize grammatical or spelling errors, especially if you need authoritative people like librarians to link to your site.

8. Have an easily accessible privacy policy and about section so your site seems more trustworthy. Including a picture of yourself may also help build your authority.

PPC as a Link Building Tool
9. Buy relevant traffic with a pay per click campaign. Relevant traffic will get your site more visitors and brand exposure. When people come to your site, regardless of the channel in which they found it, there is a possibility that they will link to you.

News & Syndication
10. Syndicate an article at EzineArticles, GoArticles, iSnare, etc. The great thing about good article sites is that their article pages actually rank highly and send highly qualified traffic.

11. Submit an article to industry news site. Have an SEO site? Write an article and submit to WebProNews. Have a site about BLANK? Submit to BLANKinformationalsite.com.

12. Syndicate a press release. Take the time to make it GOOD (compelling, newsworthy). Email it to some handpicked journalists and bloggers. Personalize the email message. For good measure, submit it to PRWeb, PRLeap, etc.

13. Track who picks up your articles or press releases. Offer them exclusive news or content.

14. Trade articles with other webmasters.

15. Email a few friends when you have important relevant news asking them for their feedback and/or if they would mind referencing it if they find your information useful.

16. Write about, and link to, companies with "in the news" pages. They link back to stories and blog posts which cover their developments. This is obviously easiest if you have a news section or blog. Do a Google search for [your industry + "in the news"].

17. Perform surveys and studies that make people feel important. If you can make other people feel important they will help do your marketing for you for free. Salary.com did a study on how underpaid mothers were, and they got many high quality links.

Directories, Meme Trackers & Social Bookmarking
18. This tip is an oldie but goodie: submit your site to DMOZ and other directories that allow free submissions.

19. Submit your site to paid directories. Another oldie. Just remember that quality matters.

20. Create your own topical directory about your field of interest. Obviously link to your own site, deeplinking to important content where possible. Of course, if you make it into a truly useful resource, it will attract links on its own.

21. Tag related sites on sites like Del.icio.us. If people find the sites you tag to be interesting, emotionally engaging, or timely they may follow the trail back to your site.

22. If you create something that is of great quality make sure you ask a few friends to tag it for you. If your site gets on the front page of Digg or on the Del.icio.us popular list, hundreds more bloggers will see your site, and potentially link to it.

23. Look at meme trackers to see what ideas are spreading. If you write about popular spreading ideas with plenty of original content (and link to some of the original resources), your site may get listed as a source on the meme tracker site.

Local & Business Links
24. Join the Better Business Bureau.

25. Get a link from your local chamber of commerce.

26. Submit your link to relevant city and state governmental resources. (Easier in some countries than in others.)

27. List your site at the local library's Web site.

28. See if your manufacturers or retailers or other business partners might be willing to link to your site.

29. Develop business relationships with non-competing businesses in the same field. Leverage these relationships online and off, by recommending each other via links and distributing each other's business cards.

30. Launch an affiliate program. Most of the links you pick up will not have SEO value, but the added exposure will almost always lead to additional "normal" links.

Easy Free Links
31. Depending on your category and offer, you will find Craigslist to be a cheap or free classified service.

32. It is pretty easy to ask or answer questions on Yahoo! Answers and provide links to relevant resources.

33. It is pretty easy to ask or answer questions on Google Groups and provide links to relevant resources.

34. If you run a fairly reputable company, create a page about it in the Wikipedia or in topic specific wikis. If it is hard to list your site directly, try to add links to other pages that link to your site.

35. It takes about 15 minutes to set up a topical Squidoo page, which you can use to look like an industry expert. Link to expert documents and popular useful tools in your fields, and also create a link back to your site.

36. Submit a story to Digg that links to an article on your site. You can also submit other content and have some of its link authority flow back to your profile page.

37. If you publish an RSS feed and your content is useful and regularly updated, some people will syndicate your RSS content (and some of those will provide links? unfortunately, some will not).

38. Most forums allow members to leave signature links or personal profile links. If you make quality contributions some people will follow these links and potentially read your site, link at your site, and/or buy your products.

Have a Big Heart for Reviews
39. Most brands are not well established online, so if your site has much authority, your review related content often ranks well.

40. Review relevant products on Amazon.com. We have seen this draw in direct customer enquiries and secondary links.

41. Create product lists on Amazon.com that review top products and also mention your background (LINK!).

42. Review related sites on Alexa to draw in related traffic streams.

43. Review products and services on shopping search engines like ePinions to help build your authority.

44. If you buy a product or service you really like and are good at leaving testimonials, many of those turn into links. Two testimonial writing tips ? make them believable, and be specific where possible.

Blogs & the Blogosphere
45. Start a blog. Not just for the sake of having one. Post regularly and post great content. Good execution is what gets the links.

46. Link to other blogs from your blog. Outbound links are one of the cheapest forms of marketing available. Many bloggers also track who is linking to them or where their traffic comes from, so linking to them is an easy way to get noticed by some of them.

47. Comment on other blogs. Most of these comments will not provide much direct search engine value, but if your comments are useful, insightful, and relevant they can drive direct traffic. They also help make the other bloggers become aware of you, and they may start reading your blog and/or linking to it.

48. Technorati tag pages rank well in Yahoo! and MSN, and to a lesser extent in Google. Even if your blog is fairly new you can have your posts featured on the Technorati tag pages by tagging your posts with relevant tags.

49. If you create a blog make sure you list it in a few of the best blog directories.

Design as a Linking Element
50. Web 2.0-ify your site. People love to link to anything with AJAX. Even in the narrowest of niches, there is some kind of useful functionality you can build with AJAX.

51. Validate and 508 your site. This (indirect) method makes your site more trustworthy and linkable, especially from governmental sites or design-oriented communities. There are even a few authoritative directories of standards-compliant sites.

52. Order a beautiful CSS redesign. A nice design can get links from sites like CSS Vault.

Hire Help
53. Hire a publicist. Good old fashioned 'PR' (not PageRank) can still work wonders. Andy Hagans now offers a link baiting publicity service.

54. Hire a consultant. Yes, you can outsource link building. Just make sure to go with someone good. We recommend WeBuildPages, Debra Mastaler and, ahem, Andy Hagans.

Link Trading
55. Swap some links. What?! Did we really just recommend reciprocal link building? Yes, on a small scale, and with relevant partners that will send you traffic. Stay away from the link trading hubs and networks.

56. In case you didn't get the memo ? when swapping links, try to get links from within the content of relevant content pages. Do not try to get links from pages that list hundreds of off topic link partners. Only seek link exchanges that you would consider pursuing even if search engines did not exist. Instead of thinking just about your topic when exchanging links, think about demographic audience sets.

Buying Sites, Renting Links & Advertisements
57. Rent some high quality links from a broker. Text Link Ads is the most reputable firm in this niche.

58. Rent some high quality links directly from Web sites. Sometimes the most powerful rented links come direct from sites not actively renting links.

59. Become a sponsor. All sorts of charities, contests, and conferences link to their sponsors. This can be a great way to gain visibility, links, and a warm feeling in your heart.

60. Sell items on eBay and offer to donate the profits to a charity. Many charities will link both to the eBay auction and to your site.

61. Many search algorithms seem biased toward older established sites. It may be faster to buy an old site with a strong link profile, and link it to your own site, than to try to start building authority links from scratch.

Use the Courts (Proceed with Caution)
62. Sue Google.

63. Get sued by a company people hate. When Aaron was sued by Traffic Power, he got hundreds or thousands of links, including links from sites like Wired and The Wall Street Journal.

Freebies & Giveaways
64. Hold a contest. Contests make great link bait. A few-hundred-dollar prize can result in thousands of dollars worth of editorial quality links. Enough said.

65. Build a tool collection. Original and useful tools (and collections of tools) get a lot of link love. What do you think ranking for "mortgage calculator" is worth?

66. Create and release open source site design templates for content management systems like Wordpress. Don't forget the "Designed by example.com" bit in the footer!

67. Offer free samples in exchange for feedback.

68. Release a Firefox extension. Make sure you have a download and/or support page on your site which people can link to.

Conferences & Social Interaction
69. It is easy to take pictures of important events and tell narratives about why they are important. Pictures of (drunk?) "celebrities" in your industry make great link bait.

70. Leverage new real world relationships into linking relationships. If you go to SEO related conferences, people like Tim Mayer, Matt Cutts, and Danny Sullivan are readily accessible. Similarly, in other industries, people who would normally seem inaccessible are exceptionally accessible at trade conferences. It is much easier to seem "real" in person. Once you create social relationships in person, it is easy to extend that onto the web.

71. Engaging, useful, and interesting interviews are an easy way to create original content. And they spread like wildfire.

30 Bad Ways to Build Links
Here are a few link buiding methods that may destroy your brand or get your site banned/penalized/filtered from major search engines, or both.

Directories
72. Submit your site to 200 cheesy paid directories (averaging $15 a pop) that send zero traffic and sell offtopic run-of-site links.

Forum Spam
73. List 100 Web sites in your signature file.

74. Exclusively post only when you can add links to your sites in the post area.

75. Post nothing but "me too" posts to build your post count. Use in combination with a link-rich signature file.

76. Ask questions about who provides the best [WIDGET], where [WIDGET] is an item that you sell. From the same IP address create another forum account and answer your own question raving about how great your own site is.

77. As a new member to various forums, ask the same question at 20 different forums on the same day.

78. Post on forum threads that are years outdated exclusively to link to your semi-related website.

79. Sign up for profiles on forums you never intend on commenting on.

Blog Spam
80. Instead of signing blog comments with your real name, sign them with spammy keywords.

81. Start marketing your own site hard on your first blog comment. Add no value to the comment section. Mention nothing other than you recently posted on the same subject at _____ and everyone should read it. Carpet bomb dozens of blogs with this message.

82. Say nothing unique or relevant to the post at hand. Make them assume an automated bot hit their comments.

83. Better yet, use automated bots to hit their comments. List at least 30 links in each post. Try to see if you can hit any servers hard enough to make them crash.

84. Send pings to everyone talking about a subject. In your aggregation post, state nothing of interest. Only state that other people are talking about the topic.

85. Don't even link to any of the sites you are pinging. Send them pings from posts that do not even reference them.

Garbage Link Exchanges
86. Send out link exchange requests mentioning PageRank.

87. Send link exchange emails which look like an automated bot sent them (little or no customization, no personal names, etc.).

88. Send link exchange requests to Matt Cutts, Tim Mayer, Tim Converse, Google, and Yahoo!.

89. Get links from nearly-hidden sections of websites listing hundreds or thousands of off topic sites.

Spam People in Person
90. Go to webmaster conferences and rave about how rich you are, and how your affiliates make millions doing nothing.

91. Instead of asking people what their name is, ask what their URL is. As soon as you get their URL ask if they have linked to your site yet and if not, why not.

Be Persistant
92. Send a webmaster an alert to every post you make on your website.

93. Send a webmaster an email every single day asking for them to link to your website.

94. Send references to your site to the same webmaster from dozens of different email accounts (you sly dog).

95. If the above do not work to get you a free link, offer them $1 for their time. Increase your offer by a dollar each day until they give in.

Getting Links by Being a Jerk
96. Emulate the RIAA. When in doubt, file a lawsuit against a 12-year-old girl. (Failing that, obtain bad press by any means necessary.)

97. Steal content published by well known names. Strip out any attribution. Aggregate many popular channels and just wait for them to start talking about you.

98. Send thousands of fake referrals at every top ranking Web site, guaranteeing larger boobs, a 14-inch penis (is that length or girth?), or millions of dollars in free, unclaimed money.

99. Wear your URL on your t-shirt. Walk or drive your car while talking on a cell phone or reading a book. When you run into other people say "excuse you, jerk".

100. Spill coffee on people or find creative ways to insult people to coax them into linking at your site.

101. Sue other webmasters for deep linking to your site. Well, this is more "hilariously dumb" than it is a "bad linking practice".

Yahoo SEO

2007-03-07T03:39:00.000Z

"All search engines have their own algorithms to determine the value and, therefore, positioning of websites. While the majority of SEO work tends to concentrate on Google because of the sheer weight of searches they receive it would be foolish to discount or ignore the other major search engines.

Yahoo is considered one of the big three along with Google and MSN and by concentrating a little more time and effort on Yahoo optimization it is quite possible to gain a good amount of traffic. With ultra competitive keywords it may actually provide an easier way to generate search traffic than gearing all your efforts solely towards Google.

The Most Important Yahoo Optimization Factor

The first, and most pertinent point is that Yahoo judges content to be the most important factor in their algorithms. They do still consider inbound links and other factors but they are attuned to the way of the content site and they love sites that provide keyword-optimized content in large mass. While that may make it sound easier than concentrating on generating a huge base of inbound links as you would for Google, Yahoo optimization presents its own challenges and its own unique quirks that"

You too can make $5.35/hour with AdSense?

2007-03-06T14:11:00.000Z

I fear for all the newbies who may get skewed expectations (OK, even worsely skewed than they walked in with) by reading this forum. People everywhere seem to be making thousands of dollars a month, Markus makes millions per year, and... so you must be an utter dolt if you're sitting there staring at your $105 check for last month.

Maybe not.

Like most web distributions of everything, there's a power law effect for people going after AdSense income. In other words, a few people (and you can bet they post to let us know who they are!) are going to make the lion's share of the money, some larger number of people are going to make OK money, and a whole lot of us are going to make, well, not really very good money at all.

Of course, the whole lynchpin of the winner-take-all society is the way that our insane belief that we'll be one of the lucky few helps us keep plugging away for a pittance. The large number of ghetto kids who are certain they're going to be NBA stars have a lot in common with AdSense slave-workers who are convinced they're going to be the next Markus-like Millionaire.

But let's run some numbers anyway, even though everyone who thinks the numbers couldn't apply to them will keep thinking that way. It won't change anyone's behavior, but maybe seeing some numbers that actually match your own experience (as opposed to making you ashamed of your own experience) might be a pleasant change.

Scenario

There's a million ways to skin the AdSense cat, but certainly the straight-shooter, white-hat, Build Good Content and Good Advertisers Will Come approach is used by a whole lot of new adsensers. Practically speaking, if you're just now embarking on a black-hat, get-rich-quick scheme, then you're so far behind the old-timers (and Google) that the odds against you are even crueller anyway.

So here's the scenario: You're going to make your AdSense gold by building good content and getting ads, and over time the dollars will just keep mounting up.

Assigning Numbers

Of course, AdSense income varies very widely by topic and by what SmartPricing thinks of you this week. But still, I think it's possible to arrive at some plausible guesses for some average income.

One oft-quoted guesstimate claims that people in the AdSense content business make roughly $10/page per year. But I'm going to say a more realistic estimate is $5/page per year. That's probably better than you're going to make off a joke-of-the-day type of content, but probably plausible for anyone who does a modest amount of investigation about where likely good income topics lie.

I know, if you're a newbie you're thinking "oh, I'm pretty sure I can beat $10/page per year". I know, you're special, but remember that this set of numbers is aimed at what's going to happen to most newbie adsensers, not really smart people like you, to whom the odds do not apply.

Also keep in mind that a number of things conspire against the new adsenser. If you got few pages, it's harder to get natural inbound links. It's harder to get PR and harder to rank highly for popular terms. Think of AdSense like one of those online games where you have to spend the first part of the game being a toady and doing a grunt work to get enough gold/skills/whatever to actually have any fun (and to avoid being wiped out by the first opponent you look at funny).

So yes, however improbably low you think it, let's go with $5/page per year.

Next, of course, is how fast can you write pages? As always, there's a trade-off here. Two sentences per page is going to let you crank a lot out quickly -- but lower the odds that they'll actually do you any good. And, if you just write crap, you greatly lower the odds you'll get any of those "natural", one-way, inbound links from authority sites.

Google is not magic, but if you think they have not managed to achieve at least a rough correlation between rankings and actual website quality/usefulness, then why are you investing time in this business anyway?

Also, you ain't gonna live off the income from your initial 10-page AdSense site, so you've probably got to spend some time elsewhere making a living. You probably can't work 10-hour days on nothing but creating content. And, many people have actual families or other frivolous pursuits that keep them from working 7-day weeks. And remember, we're looking for numbers that describe what's going to happen to most newbie adsensers who embark on this expedition.

I want to go with a number of 2 hours per page, and 4 hours per day. And I'll assume you work on this project 5 days per week, and 50 weeks per year.

Multiplication!

Now comes the fun part. You plug away at this AdSense thing for a year, and where do you think you (the imaginary "average" adsenser) will be?

Well, after a year, you've got 50 weeks * 5 days/week * 2 pages/day = 500 pages. Wow! Let's hope you picked a topic that you could actually write that much about! (What was the most number of pages you ever wrote for a term paper? Hmmmmmm...)

Now how much yearly income will your website make you at that point? Well, 500 pages * 5 dollars/page/year = $2500/year = $208/month.

Is it Worth It?

Let's suppose after that year of work, your website will produce as estimated for a while. Of course, you don't really make that $2500 in year 1, because your page count was slowly growing from zero during the first year. And some people are going to find that their website earnings on a "frozen" site go up, while many will find them going down sooner or later, due to competition or algorithm changes.

But to make the math easy, let's assume (conservatively I think), that your total earnings (even in the face of Google algorithm changes) from this website will be at least 3 * $2500 = $7500 -- even if you do no other work on it after the end of year one. One of the paybacks for doing true-blue, white-hat, decent content development should be that you're less likely to get "wiped out" completely by a Google algorithm change, though I would not expect the website to earn it's peak forever with no changes.

So, you made $7500 and all you invested was 50 * 7 * 4 = 1400 hours. That's right, you made $5.35/hour.

Sorry, you grossed $5.35/hour. You'll probably need to be paying taxes (and some Social Security in the U.S.) on that. But still, you had the pleasure of being your own boss, eh?

Conclusion

Disagree with my assumptions? Of course you do! But if you're an AdSense newbie, you should at least look at the numbers and then see whether your own estimates are panning out as you go.

After a couple of months of AdSense work, do you have more or less than the 80 pages of content I'm assuming the average adsenser will have?

After a couple of months of AdSense work, are you making more or less than the $.14/page per day I've assumed here?

After a couple of months of AdSense work, do you have more or less than the 160 hours of invested time I guesstimated for this model?

Am I anywhere close in my estimation of what will happen to the average adsenser? I don't know, but I suspect this flimsy model is a lot closer to reality than you'll get by reading posts by people who are on the sweet end of the power-law curve. People at the much more heavily populated end of the curve (that's the part that looks an awful lot like a flat line) rarely post their earnings experience.

Sometimes I wonder if those unrealistic expectations don't lead to more cases of outright fraud, as people decide that must be what "everyone else" is doing, since "everyone else" seems to be striking it rich with AdSense.

Am I telling people not to try to make AdSense? No. But I'm telling people to not do AdSense instead of getting an education, to not quit their job to do AdSense, to not forego relationships to work more on AdSense. And if you're here to tell me that you did all those things and you're now the NBA star equivalent of AdSense, well, just remember that one bad injury can take you out of the game forever.

This is a decision you really need to make on your own. Reaching a goal is a great achievement, think of it as a milestone. The question is can you take it to to the next level, and are you able to invest the time and effort to do this.

Adsense certainly isn't for everyone, there are many people who think it is as simple as building a site, pasting adsense code and watching the money roll in. You know differently. It is difficult.

The major problem I see with people investing all their effort into adsense based income is lack of security. It can all disappear if your site looses traffic.

I think what you need to do is set another goal, then sit down and think is it possible, if I achieve my new goal, what effect will it have on my life. If you believe it is possible, and beneficial then I say go for it, but be very careful to weigh up all the options before you commit.

Best Adsense tip

2007-02-19T11:25:00.000Z

"TIP 1:

Remember that AdSense is a work in progress, and that what works today may not work tomorrow.

This leads to TIP 2:

Ask yourself, 'Would my site have a reason to exist without AdSense?'

This leads to TIP 3:

Don't let the tail wag the dog. "

I want to find Public Domain Content

2006-11-07T13:50:00.000Z

When I post some articles to my website or my blog, copyright is one problem. So, the best method is read some public domain content and write comments. This article from ezinearticles.com is very good!

One of the easiest places to find authoritative public domain content is ... your local used bookstore or library!

True -- virtually everything contained in the books you'll find at these locations were protected by copyright. But ... it's also true that many of these copyrights have expired -- making the contents of those volumes completely public domain.

US copyright law has gone through several iterations -- but the two things you need to remember are "75 years from copyright date" and "Sonny Bono"!

The copyright law originally stated that a copyright would last for 75 years. Thus, if a book were copyrighted in 1900, the copyright would expire in 1975. If a book were published in 1920, the copyright would expire in 1995. If a book were copyrighted in 1922, the copyright would expire in 1997. But ... if a book was copyrighted in 1923 or later, then things take on a whole new slant ... courtesy of then-Congressman Sonny Bono.

You see, a particular item was originally copyrighted in 1923. It's copyright was due to expire in 1998 -- sending this item into the public domain. This is normally not a problem -- truthfully, most people don't care about things copyrighted so far back. Expiring the copyright can actually grant these works new life in the public domain.

In this case, though, the item due to expire was a mouse -- Micky Mouse!

Disney was understandably very concerned about their flagship icon becoming available to anyone in the public domain. Congressman Sonny Bono introduced legislation to extend copyright protection for an additional 20 years. This legislation passed in 1998 -- but only applied to items that were not yet in the public domain. Thus, an item copyrighted in 1992 was public domain after 75 years -- but anything copyrighted in or after 1923 was protected for 95 years.

So -- to play it perfectly safe and legal -- if the copyright date on a published work is 1922 or earlier, the item is now in the public domain and may be freely used (but not necessarily re-copyrighted and sold). If the copyright date is 1923 or later, it's best to leave it alone till at least the year 2018!

So what good is a book published and copyrighted prior to 1923? Well, if it's a book of sheet music -- or a book of classic poetry, literature, or theater -- or a book of formula, travel, or ... well, you get the idea. Some things become dated -- but some things are just as current today as they were when they were originally published.

This doesn't mean you can find a book by Mark Twain in the bookstore and freely copy and distribute it. You'll likely find the copyright on that published work is fairly current. However, if you find an old version of the same book published and copyrighted prior to 1923, then you can safely use it!

The best places to spot these treasures -- try your local public library, used bookstores, or estate sales.

dumb mistakes resulting in loss of adsense revenue

2006-10-31T14:38:00.000Z

dumb mistakes resulting in loss of adsense revenue

This must have been the month for 'dumb webmaster mistakes'. Or, "how to lose money with adsense without even trying".

My story:

I could not understand why the traffic had dropped so drastically on my middle site...checking stats not site.

Then after 3 days of worry and belaboring the adsense stats I visited my own site (heh, instead of WW) and the index page wouldn't load! Bottom bar said done but nothing was there. No 404 as the poor thing thought itself loaded.

Anyway, I quick opened it up for edit and found some minor changes I had made over the weekend that had somehow resulted in a major mess up of my header tags.....teach me to take that extra moment to recheck the pages I 'fix'.

Anyone else like to share how they bit themselves in the, ahem, foot regarding loss of adsense revenue due to their own 'dumb webmaster mistakes'?

Marketers Demanding Better Count of the Clicks - New York Times

2006-10-31T03:13:00.000Z

Marketers Demanding Better Count of the Clicks - New York Times: "?When you grow up, you have to do certain things,? said Mainak Mazumdar, NetRatings? vice president of measurement science and product marketing. ?The Internet has matured to a place where traditional marketers ? companies that have been spending much more money on television and print ? are asking the questions that they would ask for the print side. I see that to be very positive because it does legitimize the Internet.?

Internet advertising revenue has grown upward of 30 percent for the last three years, causing many in the print and television businesses to shudder. Traditional media companies have watched advertisers and consumers increasingly move online, and the change has crimped their revenue and bruised their stock prices.

Concerns about click fraud and viewer statistics do not appear to be affecting online advertising revenue right now, but ad agency executives said the issues must be resolved before large advertisers would want to pour much more money online.

Indeed, the Internet draws only a sliver of the total spent on advertisements. Last year, Internet ads accounted for just 4.7 percent, or $12.5 billion, of the $267 billion spent on advertising, according"

Google SEO Mythbusters - what is proven and what is guesswork?

2006-10-30T13:10:00.000Z

Google SEO Mythbusters - what is proven and what is guesswork?: "There are lots of ideas that float around the SEO world. Some are true - either tested (best) or established by authoritative communication from Google spokespersons (second best). For some there is good suggestive evidence, but not 100% proof. Other SEO ideas may be opinion, or even just plain wrong.

What SEO 'facts' fall into what category? What kind of testing would you do to move a given idea up a notch or two on an SEO 'trustability' scale of:

True
Probable
Opinion
Myth

1. Google evaluates the content section of a page differently from the rest of the template. I say 'True'.
I've seen this effect several times in the power of a link in the body of an article compared to a link somewhere in a 'related links' section. Links in the body content rock the house.

2. Google is using human editorial input to affect the SERP. I say that's 'Probable'.
I sure can't think of a test to make this one proven. The big fuss over eval.google.com is several years old, and Google has now filed a patent on how to integrate editorial input into the algorithm.

3. Using a dedicated IP address helps in ranking. I say that's 'Opinion'.
In fact, I have moved domains from shared IP to a dedicated IP and seen no obvious change. I think it depends on the company you keep when" (from tedster,www.webmasterworld.com)
