Increase Xomba Adsense Earnings | Using Google Trends Chart Smartly

Budding and enthusiastic writers who were hitherto stopped in their tracks due to long list of prerequisites to publish articles in print media or on the web, now have Xomba to thank for. Xomba has provided an easy and convenient platform for users to come and unleash their literary skills. Writers can now come and write for satisfaction or money. Or Both!

To increase the earnings on the articles on Xomba, the Administrator of Xomba (and Nick) has offered an excellent advice on style of writing. Two styles are suggested. One style is to write news based articles that draws huge web traffic for short time. Another style is to write high value content based articles that draws moderate traffic but lasts for longer durations.

It is the former style of writing that I am going to suggest a tip upon. Most here know that Google has offered tools such as trends and hottrends to view the current trend of a topic. It shows if a search term is hot and is on uptrend on the Internet.

And most of us rush into action the moment we sight "volcanic" or "on fire" on search terms. This, in my opinion, is a gross mistake. Because by the time the article is posted you are on the waning edge of the news, unless the news is really exclusive.

So a smart tip would be to try and remain on the leading edge of news. Now how can this be done? I offer a simple solution. Instead of going gung-ho on the "volcanic" and "on fire" terms, i suggest moving onto lower listed trends. And pick up only those topics which have their graphs just starting to move up. Something like this:
(Readers please note: I used a live trend chart from Google to illustrate my point. Now the chart has passed its peak. During the time of posting, the chart had just begun its upward movement. Idea is to seek such upward trends to increase chances of drawing more traffic)

This kind of trend has a far greater chance of sustaining than a "volcanic" one that has already lived its peak and is on the down trend. Like this:

Idea is to find trends that are on uptrends and on the rise using the graphs. With a bit of luck and lots of practice i am sure you will gradually be able to identify trends that play better and longer. Its akin to Technical Analysis of stocks but on a very diluted and general level.

I hope this tip helps users to bring in more traffic to their articles written on Xomba and consequently increase the earnings from Google Adsense.

Google Trends

Mythman, google trends is pretty useful tool in getting to know the pulse of the web surfing public. Its not to say that one should blindly start posting on the popular topics from the trends page. But it does give a fair idea of what subject is catching the fancy of surfers. Which can sometimes give a decent idea on what to write about. Nice to see your view though.

I Don't Know about G HotTrends, but Y! Buzz ...

... they give some little indicators of past chart-ness (length of time on chart, latest previous position). Check `em out. Disagree? Join Here, Be Heard!

Use Napoleon Hill's Creation Methods to Grow New Ideas

In Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, he talks about the two ways everything is created: synthetic creation and 'original' creation. The synthetic is simply the combination of two- or more already-created things/ideas. The 'original' (I don't remember what he called it) is the new idea inspired by that or -another idea. Applying that here: you have 1) knowledge of uprising news and 2) knowledge in your field of expertise. Relate the news to what you know, and that's your own creation! And any ideas that come from that, 'totally original!' Disagree? Join Here, Be Heard!

Being on the Leading Edge Will Make the DIfference.

One needs to choose a strategy while writing articles. Using the above outlined idea using the google trends chart one can possibly be on the leading edge of the news. That would make considerable difference. I have tried this out and it did work most of the times. News related writing dies down quickly but fetches high traffic. So time is of essence more than content. Articles that are high on quality may not attract as much traffic but spans much longer. So you got to choose your strategy accordingly.

Agree

If you try writing on something that zillions of other people have written on then you will not get the traffic.

Good information

JDub's Right!

However, there's also the 'RTFA'-factor he's mentioned before (substituting whatever issue or factoid you're writing about for The F#cking 'Article' you ought to Read). If you're reporting exactly what some other news-source says, you're bordering on wasting readers' time. If you properly research the issue as a respectable writer should (i.e. read enough to make you feel like an expert), then your report will be flavored by your expertise! Disagree?

The chart was right before..but you are right too !

wow... you are right Idlewind. The first chart is past peak now (and even was when you saw). But when i had posted the article the chart had just started inching upwards (which is when Chris Crow too saw and was the first one to comment). This is because I used a real time trend chart from Google Trends to make a point. So you see, if i had written and submitted an article on that 'term subject' at that time, I would have been on the leading edge of the trend. In other words my submission then would have been before the peak. Which is exactly the point I am trying to make. That if you are on the leading edge of a trend, you stand a better chance to draw web traffic. There are numerous techniques for writing on the web. I am not saying my technique is better than the others. I have merely tried to offer and share information with others what I had found true for myself. Idea is to give more options to the writers here on Xomba. Do what works best for you. I think, I should replace this chart with another, lest readers get confused. Thanks for pointing out, nonetheless. Wishing everyone a truck loads of traffic on their posts, and the best of times. kukku

hey help

how do you post ads? were do you get your most used sources and ads if you dont mind telling me?

Trends

I agree that the best way to capitalize on Google trends is to find a topic before it passes its peak, but the graph you show as an example of a trend being "on the way up" looks to me to be just the opposite: the topic was getting a low-level of interest for a few hours, then the search volume spiked, then rapidly died down. That graph shows a trend that is clearly on the downswing. I don't know if it's even possible to use Google trends to catch search trends on the upswing, because it always seems to be reporting trends that have already passed their peak "one hour ago," "six hours ago," etc. Using Google Trends is kind of a crap shoot, it always seemed to me. Since so many other people are trying to cash in on the same trends, and since we have no control over how our posts will be ranked in the search results vis a vis all those other posts, it's sort of the luck of the draw whether a particular post we write will get lots of traffic or virtually none.
