The question some people ask is whether or not pdf documents pass page rank?

Based on my testing, the answer is decidedly yes, but there is still a question of how much weight they are given. I believe they pass at least equal weight as an html page. Nevertheless, optimizing for pdfs makes sense since you are already taking the time to create the darn things anyway.

Here are some tips that could dramatically improve your pdfs search engine friendliness:

1. After you perform keyword research, include active links with your theme keywords as text within your pdf. This works just like any other kind of anchor text linking. You are given keyword Theme Ranking and just like when you include anchor text in a web page. My theory is that you are given quite a bit more if the subject matter of the pdf is on theme and on topic. Further testing will determine exactly how much PR is passed. I believe having active links inside a pdf pointing to your website does increase your search engine ranking for terms targeted, just like having the word video in the anchor text with your targeted keyword now seems to give an inbound link more Page Rank.

2. Hopefully it is pretty obvious that you should use formatable text within your pdf because search engines do not really see text within images- or at least not proficiently. (That is another topic). Basically treat the document like it is html when deciding where to bold and italics. Make sure that you use your keywords in the title etc.

3. Make sure that you do not use only images and that you use text for direct response marketing purposes other wise your listing on the search engines results page will not be clickable.

4. In order to get your pdf indexed by the search engines, link to the pdf from a page that is already indexed. I know it does not sound like rocket science- and yet so many people forget to do this.

5. Be sure to BRAND your pdf so that when people actually click on your pdf they can at least find your website or contact you by snail mail or phone. It is probably a good idea to create a hyperlink to your website of landing page.

6. Before you publish your pdf, double check to make sure that your intended links are truly active and hyperlinked.

PDF Creation Tip:

Be advised that Acrobat Reader (Adobe) has no way to create active hyperlinks. This is one of the feature to the Acrobat Standard 7.0). There are other cheaper software packages that will create active hyperlinks, but they are not always accurate, so you will need to double check.

If you have gone from Microsoft Word and create a pdf in Acrobat Professional, the links should automatically be active in your pdf document when you render it.

Using Adobe Acrobat Meta-data Function:

This is a confusing topic. Adobe Professional does have a function tab that allegedly allows you to insert meta data into a pdf document:

Apparently this function is still an area of mass confusion. Nobody seems to agree if it is worth your extra time to fill this box out in Adobe.

This is because several expert SEOs have tried to figure out exactly what is happening when you add the meta-data to Adobe Acrobat Professional.

There is an excellent article on this here:

SEO your PDFs

I will do some more testing on this, but right now I am pretty much ignoring this function until I am certain how Adobe handles the xml, and how that works with the search engine spiders.

Analyzing the Metrics:

You can use tracking software like Click Tracks to monitor and test the keyword click thru rate on your pdf files. If you target the correct market long tail topics and keywords, you should be able to generate decent traffic to the deeper pages in your website.

Auction Ads have been in the lime light for sometime since March 2007, Recently MediaWhiz acquired the company fully from Jeremy Schoemaker for an undisclosed fee. Auction Ads is an advertising widget that serves relevant eBay auctions based on tags placed by the publisher.

As a publisher with Auction Ads, you are paid 100% of eBay affiliate fees. Auction Ads had more than 5,000 publisher within a week and have more than 20,000 publishers registered in their network.

After giving a brief introduction about Auction Ads, I think it’s really an idiot prove system to use, simple and effective! New Publishers who are looking forward to make money online can now breath on Auction Ads.

The All new 2.0 Design For Auction Ads
If you were a long supporter with Auction Ads and have seen their makeover through the months from the ads that were with poor resolution, distorted and stretchy looking advertising items to the all new refreshing 2.0 look, which will allow better images shown so that you can attract more clicks on your site, given the staff a few more weeks before everything is up!

Worry no more as you will get double the performance than before!
AuctionAds was very confident to say that they have “doubled the size of our hardware infrastructure and optimized it to ensure near 100% uptime of ad serving“. This acts as an assurances to all of us that the problems we faced previous would be eliminated by their dedicated hardware.

Why should i sign up with Auction Ads?
Many people will think Auction Ads President Patrick Gavin paid me to review them, but all i can say is they would not be looking at me because i am not a big earner with them, Maybe if i am John Chow, i might get few hundred dollars for this review or maybe not?
If my memory served me well, i remembered giving them a drop when they were having problems with their servers and now i see the prospect of this program coming back with its assurances with Media Whiz which i see as a way to make more money online, don’t tell me this is not what you wanted “make more money“!

Managing my Auction Ads Account
A little run through on how to actually setup your account which would help speed up the amount of time used to further optimize your ads. Its so simple there is no need to use multiple screenshots for elaborations.

Click on “Campaigns” and start to create a campaign to monitor your click results and impressions made. You can have multiple campaigns going on at the same time, there should be a limit but i have yet to create to that amount so i can’t tell you the limits.

After creating your campaign, lets give it a name “Money“. Click on “Get Code” to setup your ads. There are 3 columns which you need to fill up to create your very first auction codes.

• Ad Keywords: Place your keywords within this box and to breakup keywords leave a “,” in between every word created.
• Ad Campaign: You have created “Money” as your campaign, choose it so that you can track the stats.
• Ad Type: Though after the new implementation with the web 2.0 design, the older design still is around and is still being offered as a choice, why is this so? Let me explain to you later.

Who do i choose? The New or stick to the old ads?
Auction Ads retained the services for the older banners though it brings much distorted picture but the older banners had features to customize compared to the new ones. It really depends on individual pick.

The High and Low of Older Banners

High

1. You have a wide choice of ads sizes that you can chose to fit your site.
2. You have the ability to customize your background,descriptions and links colour.
3. You will be able to blend your ads better on your site.

Low

1. The Ads are showing poor quality pictures which could affect your earnings, better images are require to pull of a convincing purchase.

The High and Low of New Banners

High

1. It gives a much attractive and sleek look which could attract more clicks.
2. There is a cool range of colours to choose for your ads.

Low

1. There is a limited number of ads style i can choice which is the vertical or horizontal style followed by a maximum of 3 ads shown.

You have setup your first hand and have placed it in your blog, but realised most of your ads are not rotating and also you made a discovery that your ads are always having many bids at $0.01, how do you increase them and set a minimum amount to improve your earnings?

Optimize your Auction Ads!
All these tips and tricks were found on Auction Ads Blog which is broken into parts during their updates, I decided to compile it to look good under one post. Here i go!

New Window Open Function
This feature does not look new but it allows your ads to open in another tab or window page.In your own code it will look like this ” auctionads_option=”n”; ” . This means your ads will open in another page or tab.

Rotate your keywords Automatically in one banner
Bored and tired of seeing same ads in every pages, then you can use this function which allows your keywords within to rotate by itself. While Keying in your keywords to “Ad Keywords” add “;” in between every keyword. The code reflected should be like this

“auctionads_ad_kw = “keyword 1;keyword 2;keyword 3;keyword 4″; ”

Optimizing auction prices to make more money
This can be trick, it can decrease the number of clicks on one hand but on the other hand it can help you earn more with just 1 single purchase. “minprice:___ and maxprice:___“. The code will look like this:

“auctionads_ad_kw = “Xbox 360 minprice:50″;” - will generate all relevant items above $50

“auctionads_ad_kw = “X box 360 maxprice:50″;” - will generate all relevant items under $50

Using the best way to convert auctions to cash!
Go back to your account under “Url converter“. Add in a ebay item’s url that you would want to promote or let your readers know about how hot that item is. For example,Brand New Apple iPhone 8GB is up for grab at only $728, would you not want to own a iphone now?

Benefits are way above all and you can outdo your current PPC earnings
Since you take 100% affiliate earnings as a publisher, and you will see that PPC clicks are seriously pathetic, maybe a maxmium of $2/day with 1000/day unless your site brings in tons of traffic, otherwise giving Auction Ads a try would not mean any harm at all!

Despite the fact that Federal legislation (the CANSPAM act) made it illegal, harvesting email addresses from the web using automated robots remains alive and well.

Spammers who need fresh email addresses release software spider programs that comb the Internet and suck email addresses off Web pages, guest books, and anywhere else you might post your email address.

Once they get your email address, spammers will trade it around like 5th graders with a new pack of Pokemon cards at recess and you can expect the avalanche of email to begin flooding your inbox.

In order to combat this still rampant practice of stealing email addresses from websites and sending people email they don’t want, the following tips should help protect you.

** Break It Up **

Obviously the best way to avoid getting picked up by an email harvester is not to post your email anywhere on anyone’s website (including your own).

If the only way someone can get your email is if you give it to them, that creates a similar situation to operating with an unlisted phone number.

If telemarketers can’t get your phone number, they can’t call.

If you must post your email address, post it in a way that a robot won’t recognize it as an email address. Instead of posting YOURNAME@YOURDOMAIN.COM, you can put YOURNAME (AT) YOURDOMAIN.COM and then, in parenthesis, put (replace AT with @ to email me).

Though it seems like an extra step for legitimate email, you’ll find it a very effective technique.

** Use An Image **

Currently, online spiders (ANY spider, including search engines) cannot read text that appears in a graphic or picture. If you must display an email address on a page, then do it by typing your email address into your favorite graphics program and saving the image as a .gif or .jpg. Then post the image onto your web page so people can see the email, but spiders cannot. This too creates an extra step for people because they must type in your email address, but it’s an effective solution if you must display an email address on your own website.

** Use An Email Form **

Another way to cut down on spam originating from your own website is simply not to display an email at all.

Instead, allow customers and prospects to contact you through a form where they fill in fields, click a button, and your website emails you their message.

A note of caution: make sure the form script you use does not keep your email address visible in the form code.

If the form code contains the email address, spam robots can find it even though you don’t see it on the page.

** Make It Hard To Guess **

Sometimes you’ll get unsolicited email because a spammer guessed your email address.

It’s not a far stretch to imagine that someone probably has the email Jim@yourdomain.com, so spammers will do a “dictionary” attack on common usernames.

One way to defeat this is to place a “dot” (.) in your email address, such as Jim.Edwards@yourdomain.com. The dot makes it virtually impossible for spammers to guess your email address.
