6 Secrets Retailers Don't Want You to Know

If you're like most consumers searching for the lowest prices when shopping, you need to know retailers have some tricks up their sleeve for fighting back against their own rising costs.

It's no secret prices keep rising. According to Consensus Economics, publisher of Consensus Forecasts USA, inflation and overall prices will rise a modest 2 percent in 2012, but income will not rise accordingly. Gas prices are expected to rise, and we can all personally attest to food price hikes. Even the U.S. Postal Service raised its rates in January, and it might do so again soon. Prices for branded goods in high demand such as Levi's jeans and Nike sneakers already rose 5 percent to 15 percent during 2011 and will rise another 5 percent to 10 percent before 2012 is over, according to retail analysts.

Be warned, say consumer experts and retail industry insiders alike, because the best price is not all you have to look out for when trying to get the most for your money.

1. Low prices don't go with high quality

Manufacturers for items from bedding to boots have been sweating price hikes in cotton, leather and other textiles. And, the costs of doing business in China, from sewing to shipping, have increased as well.

"It's a dirty little secret in the retail industry: To avoid retail price increases, retailers and manufacturers 'value-engineer' a product to reduce its cost by purposely taking the quality out of products to make that price point a reality for you, the consumer," says James Dion, president of Dionco, a Chicago-based retail consulting firm. "You will see this with smaller brands and private-label products at discount merchants and off-price retailers where the prices seem to actually get lower."

[Related: Things Your Thrift Store Owner Won't Tell You]

"Prices for popular name-brand footwear (think UGG and Nike) are still increasing 5 percent to 7 percent more this year with the quality and workmanship what you'd expect," says Mike Featherston, president and CEO of ICB International, a footwear development and resourcing company. "Not every manufacturer or retailer has cut corners, but be very careful at evaluating low-cost, no-name merchandise."

2. Retailers take advantage of focus on price

Consumers often set a price in their mind to pay for an item, says James Dion, president of Dionco, a Chicago-based retail consulting firm.

"If your eye is on the lowest price when shopping for footwear, apparel or household goods, you can make serious spending mistakes this year," Dion says. "You will overlook smaller packages, (fewer) items in a set and inferior goods that simply won't last or wear as well."

It's a trend that can be tracked, according to Britt Beemer, who found similar results in his 2011 Consumer Track Back-To-School Shopping Survey.

"We found that a troubling 56 percent of people don't notice how an item is made and base their decision solely on price," Beemer says.

"It's very dangerous to be set on a price alone when shopping. Items of high quality may cost more than you dreamed, but you have to remember that one great, high-quality item replaces many mediocre items," says Vicky Oliver, author of "The Millionaire's Handbook."

3. Outlet stores are no bargain

You might think outlet stores and off-price shopping is the way to get the better goods for a cheaper price. "But manufacturers and retailers have figured out it's actually cheaper to just make lower-quality merchandise specifically for these stores (think outlet malls, Marshall's and Ross), and that's 90 percent of what you'll find there," says Vicky Oliver, author of "The Millionaire's Handbook."

"That Coach handbag at the outlet is not the same one sold in a department store," Oliver says. "It's a completely different caliber of an item. Its full-price cousin is sturdier, has superior stitching and softer leather. The outlet merchandise is less costly, but lower in quality, too. And if it is the real thing, the only reason it's there is because people with money didn't like it enough to buy it."

Oliver suggests spending time in the upscale department stores to train your eye and hand in the look and feel of the higher-quality designer items. "Try them on, and notice the drape and superior fit. Examine seams, pockets and buttons in the light so you can recognize high-quality versus low-quality when you are shopping on a budget," she says.

4. All bedding and bath items are not the same

"Consumers think any towel or sheet is as good as any other, and that's a costly mistake," explains James Dion, president of Dionco, a Chicago-based retail consulting firm. Two bedding and bath suppliers, who preferred to remain anonymous, gave the following advice for examining bedding and bath merchandise.

Towels: The standard bath sheet size is 35 by 60 inches, but bath sheets in stores today may be sized 30 by 54 and cost the same or less than their larger counterparts. Compare towels by size and feel first, then on price for comparable items.

Bedding: Pure-spun microfiber polyester is the cost-cutting bedding textile retailers from Wal-Mart to Bed Bath & Beyond turned to in 2011. A recent price check found that pure cotton 250 to 300 thread-count sheets cost double the same size microfiber. The thinner microfiber splits easily and does not breathe like cotton. Pure cotton thread counts now range from 100 to 1,000, with the lowest feeling like burlap. The main difference between the 600-count and 1,000-count is the exorbitant price. If the label doesn't specify, it is likely a cotton-polyester blend. And bedding sets may contain fewer items than you remember.

5. The latest trends will cost you more

"If you examine hot new trends such as colored skinny jeans, faux leather outerwear, handbags and apparel ... with zippers instead of buttons or laces or less fabric, you will see that these are all ways a manufacturer can cut costs," says Andrea Woroch, savings expert for Kinoli Inc., creator of CouponSherpa.com. "These small changes per item really add up to a lot of cost savings for the retailers. Plus, they are promoted to you as the hot, new thing and priced higher to boot."

Apparel suppliers say it's cheaper to dye a pair of jeans one solid color than it is to acid wash or treat denim many times to achieve a desired denim wash, and they use less fabric in a thinner grade of cotton to manufacture skinny jeans and most "jeggings," or leggings that resemble skin-tight jeans. Zippers are faster and cheaper to sew in than buttons and lace, and they can take the place of more expensive fabric or leather, too.

"Most low-priced, low-quality nonbranded or private-label clothing today will simply fall apart faster than its branded counterparts," says James Dion, president of Dionco, a Chicago-based retail consulting firm.

6. Beware of 'designer exclusives'

So what about brands such as Simply Vera, the Vera Wang brand sold only at Kohl's, or Jason Wu for Target? If you think it's the same designer merchandise sold at Bloomingdale's for four times more, then you need a reality check. "You're buying into the brand name, but you need to understand it's not the same," says Vicky Oliver, author of "The Millionaire's Handbook." "These designer 'exclusives,' as stores call them, are nothing more than cheaply made merchandise using that designer's name."

"They don't feel, look or fit the same as the real thing," she says. "Unless you have disposable income to spend on this stuff, you'd do better to save up your money and invest in just one classic, beautifully fitting piece of the real thing. Even the high-end department stores have sales and coupons, so get on the email lists and befriend the sales associate to find out (about) sales -- and spend your money then."

Don't settle for less in your shopping bag: Read labels and open loose products to check sizes. Evaluate fabric, fit and workmanship carefully to make sure you're getting the best your budget allows.

Unlocking the Secrets of a Car Thief

Saginaw, Mich. -- I've never stolen a car in my life, but Dick Riefe recently showed me how to purloin a 1989 Chevy Suburban in just two minutes, using a screwdriver for a key.

Mr. Riefe, 68 years old, comes by his car-theft expertise honestly. He has worked for half a century on vehicle theft-prevention technology here at Nexteer Automotive, one of the leading suppliers of auto steering columns and the security hardware that goes into them.

[More from WSJ.com: Man Admits to Plot to Bomb Pentagon]

Designing technology to deter car theft is an evolving game of cat and mouse. Car makers and contractors such as Nexteer devise new systems. Thieves adapt.

For the past several years, the good guys have had the edge.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's most recent full-year tally, covering 2010, found a 7.4% decline in car thefts nationwide from the previous year, the seventh straight year of decline. Preliminary figures for 2011 indicate thefts fell 3.3% from 2010. In New York City, police officials say auto thefts have dropped to just 9,300 vehicles last year from about 147,000 in 1990.

"It's more difficult to steal a car than it used to be," said Robert Hartwig, president of the Insurance Information Institute, a New York-based industry group.

Still, thieves took more than 737,000 vehicles in 2010, valued at about $4.5 billion, the FBI data show.

Reports have risen in recent years of thieves making off with valuable car components such as air bags—which can cost $1,000 if purchased legitimately and less on the black market—and catalytic converters, which contain rare, valuable platinum and palladium.

There are also signs that the barriers electronic theft-prevention systems present may not be as daunting as advertised.

[Related: Car models that have lost their marquee value]

BMW owners have been alarmed in the past few days by a video that appears to show hoodie-wearing thieves in Britain making off with a BMW in just three minutes, apparently after hacking into the car's alarm system, then cloning the electronic key fob using an easily accessible diagnostic port. There are numerous other videos online showing people using key-cloning gadgets plugged into diagnostic ports.

"The battle against increasingly sophisticated thieves is a constant challenge for all car makers," BMW said in a statement in response to the video.

One challenge in Europe, according to a BMW spokesman in the U.K., is that EU rules require car makers to make onboard diagnostic ports easily accessible, and to allow independent mechanics and locksmiths to reprogram keys. In the U.S., BMW only allows dealers to sell replacement keys, said another company spokesman, Dave Buchko.

[More from WSJ.com: Pentagon Weighs Database to Catch Lies About Honors]

Lists of the most-stolen car models, compiled by the nonprofit National Insurance Crime Bureau, suggest that thieves mainly have an eye on the used-parts market, where mass-market models are more valuable than luxury cars.

The most frequently stolen car in 2010 was a 1994 Honda Accord, followed by the 1995 Honda Civic and the 1991 Toyota Camry. The 1999 Chevy Silverado pickup came in fourth and the 1997 Ford F-150 pickup pulled in at No. 5. All of these vehicles were among the top-selling cars and trucks in the U.S.

Advances in electronic theft-prevention technology have taken a bite out of thefts of some models. In 2010, thieves stole 5,331 Honda Accords built in the 1997 model year, but only 533 1998-model Accords, according to NICB data. The difference: The later-model cars had a new electronic key system that immobilized the car if the proper key wasn't used.

"Thefts have gone down," said Mr. Hartwig of the Insurance Information Institute. "But, recovery rates have gone down. You have 63% recovered in 2004, and only 56% recovered in 2010." Thieves move quickly to dice cars into parts, or export them to other states or countries, law enforcement and insurance officials say.

At Nexteer, Mr. Riefe's colleague, Larry Burr, carries a customized metal awl in his pocket for prying at parts that looks like just the thing to pick a lock. He helped develop a big advance in the late 1960s when Nexteer, then a unit of General Motors, redesigned steering-column locks so that it took 2,700 pounds of force to pry one out and hot-wire a car, instead of just 350 pounds.

"That thwarted them, for a period," the 76-year-old Mr. Burr said.

The advent of the first electronic key systems in the late 1980s and early 1990s began to push screwdriver-wielding amateurs out of the game. Electronic ignition systems, which regularly reset the required codes to start the car, plus stronger systems to immobilize shifters and steering columns made it difficult for unskilled thieves to start a car in the six to eight minutes most were willing to risk in the attempt, Mr. Burr said.

One morning in June at Nexteer's headquarters, RC Derocher demonstrated how easy it was to get partial control of a 2007 luxury sport utility vehicle. The powerfully built Mr. Derocher—at 27 one of the younger members of Nexteer's security-systems team—grabbed the wheel in a bear hug, and threw his body toward the passenger seat, breaking the hardware that prevented the wheel from turning. Then he gave the shift lever a sharp yank to break its locking system.

[More from WSJ.com: Hawaii Shoots Down Use of Sky Lanterns]

I was able to start a 1989 Suburban after dismantling the steering column with the screwdriver. Mr. Derocher couldn't get his later model SUV to start, but, "you're in neutral, and you can steer," he said. With a couple of accomplices and another vehicle, a thief could push the truck away to a nearby "chop shop," where parts could be stripped off for sale.

Most feared by car owners are professionals who use sophisticated gear—including electronics that can intercept or replicate key codes, and flatbed trucks to pluck cars off a street or lot.

Such pros who target luxury cars often intend to export the vehicles, after changing the vehicle identification numbers and swapping out onboard computers, said Christopher McDonold, a former Baltimore County, Md., detective and past president of the International Association of Auto Theft Investigators.

Mr. McDonold, who is now deputy director of the Maryland Vehicle Theft Prevention Council, said he believes professional thieves have caught up with theft-prevention technology, using electronic key duplication techniques and stealing vehicle identification numbers to mask a stolen car's identify.

The next generation of antitheft technology will be aimed at the pros, with stronger hardware to foil extralegal steering and shifting. Nexteer engineers say a new locking system expected on the market soon was designed specifically to thwart cordless drills, and uses electric motors that respond to signals from the keyless starter system to lock down the steering.

From Google, the Toughest Challenger to the iPad

Tired of watching in frustration as its popular Android mobile operating system failed to make much of a dent in the tablet market, Google is stepping in next week with an Android tablet it helped design. It's the Nexus 7, a $199 model with a 7-inch screen. And in my view, it's a winner.

After testing the Nexus 7 for a couple of weeks, I consider it the best Android tablet I've used. It's a serious alternative to both Apple's larger $499 iPad and to a more direct rival: Amazon's $199, Android-based, 7-inch Kindle Fire. I prefer the Nexus 7 to 7-inch models from Google partners like Samsung, whose comparable product costs $250.

The new Google tablet doesn't have all the features of the iPad. For instance, it lacks a cellular connectivity option, a rear camera and the iPad's dazzling screen resolution. Its base model has half the memory of the iPad's. It offers fewer content choices—music, movies, TV shows—than either the Apple or Amazon devices do. It also has very few apps designed for a tablet, as opposed to a phone, while the iPad boasts over 200,000 apps for tablet use. And its screen area is less than half the size of the iPad's.

Google Nexus Tablet (AP) But Google's tablet is a better choice than the iPad for people on a budget; for those who prefer a lighter, more compact tablet that's easier to carry and operate with one hand; and for those who prefer Google's ecosystem of apps, services and content to Apple's.

Despite some drawbacks, I found it a pleasure to use.

The Nexus 7 even includes an artificial-intelligence feature, following in the path of Apple's much-touted Siri. It answers some spoken questions, like Siri does. But it also presents a screen, called Google Now, with information it considers relevant to you at your present location and time—like the weather, traffic conditions between home and work, your next calendar appointment, and information for flights you've been researching.

The Nexus 7 also carries an unusual distinction: It's the first tablet I've tested that beats the iPad in my standard battery test. It lasted over 10 hours, about 45 minutes more than the latest iPad.

Every tablet must be compared with the iPad, which has become synonymous with the category. And Apple is rumored to be planning a smaller, less costly iPad, which could give the Nexus 7 a run for its money.

But for now at least, the Nexus 7 seems to be aimed more at competing with the Kindle Fire. Like the Fire, it's being positioned mainly as a content-consumption device. Unlike Apple, Google is playing down the productivity and creativity aspects of the Nexus 7 and treating it, as Amazon does, mostly as an inexpensive hardware portal to the company's cloud-based offerings of music, video, books and magazines.

[Related Video: Google unveils the Nexus 7]

The home screen of the Nexus 7 is a colorful array of large representations of the most recent songs, books and other content you've been using. The Android Market, the company's app and content store, has been renamed Google Play, and the marketing for the Nexus 7 includes phrases like "Made for Google Play" and "The Playground is Open."

The size and price advantages of the Nexus 7 are similar to those of the Kindle Fire, but the quality of the hardware and software in the new Google slate blows away those of the Fire. The latter is a chunky device that lacks a camera and microphone, and has a heavily modified version of Android, which can be sluggish. The Nexus 7 is a sleek, handsome tablet with a smooth, quick, new version of Android. In my test, the battery life of the Nexus 7 exceeded the Fire's by a huge margin: nearly five hours.

Also, even though Google isn't emphasizing it, the Nexus 7, like other Android devices, can run 600,000 apps, almost as many as Apple offers, and far ahead of the 25,000 available for the Fire.

In my experience, too many of these Android apps—which Google doesn't vet in advance—are flaky and inferior to those in the curated collections of Apple and Amazon. But even if you only count the good ones, they far outstrip what the Fire offers, and include many apps that enable the Nexus 7 to also be a productivity and creation device.

[Related Video: Testing the Nexus 7]

The Nexus 7, which was built for Google by Asus, is a special type of Google product, all labeled Nexus, which the company sees as a best-of-breed example for Android hardware makers. There have been Nexus phones, but this is the first Nexus tablet. It's is available for pre-order now at Google's online store, play.google.com, and the company expects to start delivering it next week. Also next week, it will become available at a few physical retailers. There's no cellular fee needed to use it, as it's a Wi-Fi only device.

Along with the new tablet, Google is introducing a new version of Android, called Jelly Bean. This isn't a revolutionary update, but it refines and polishes the operating system by making it much smoother and faster to use (Google calls this "butteriness") and adding the Google Now feature.

Jelly Bean is also now available for the Galaxy Nexus phone by Samsung and will slowly roll out to some other Android devices.

Jelly Bean finally puts Android on a par with Apple's iOS operating system, which drives the iPhone and iPad, in two key respects: responsiveness (when the hardware is potent enough) and elimination of the constant need to resort to menus, which plagued most prior versions of Android.

[Related: 25 iPhone Tips and Tricks]

In my battery test, where I keep the screen at 75% brightness, leave the Internet connection on and email collecting in the background and play videos back to back, the Nexus 7 lasted 10 hours and 44 minutes. The current iPad logged nine hours and 58 minutes on the same test (albeit while driving a much more power-hungry screen) and the Fire lasted five hours and 47 minutes.

So what are the drawbacks of the Nexus 7?

The main one is that some key content is missing. Shows from many popular TV networks aren't offered, including hits like "Mad Men" and "Modern Family." And magazines from Time Inc., like Time and Sports Illustrated, are absent. Google says it's working on adding more content. Also, many of Google's books are out-of-print volumes from before 1923.

I found some magazine pages were a bit fuzzy, and the books app lacks a basic feature: the ability to select a word to search for it in the book, get a definition or add a highlight or note. Google says it plans to add this feature.

Google's voice-controlled question-and-answer feature, like Apple's Siri, didn't understand me or get it right a lot of the time. And it didn't understand some questions Siri does, like "Will I need an umbrella today?"

And Google Now requires you to compromise some privacy, by allowing the service to track your location and search history. It tries to figure out your home address by detecting where the device is during most nights.

Overall, however, Google and Asus have produced a very good tablet in the Nexus 7, one I can recommend.

Ex-NKorean star recalls 'ping pong diplomacy'

PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — Her eyes well up when Li Pun Hui recalls her role in a historic example of "ping pong diplomacy."

In 1991, the North Korean table tennis star paired with her archrival, South Korea's Hyun Jung-hwa, as part of the first "unified Korea" team to march into international competition wearing the blue flag of the Korean Peninsula. With relations between the foes at a low point, the episode is not about to be repeated at the London Olympics. But Li and Hyun fondly recall how they met as enemies and parted as friends, and champions.

"For 50 days, 24 hours a day, we lived together as one, trained together, slept in the same room and ate all our meals together," Li told The Associated Press at an interview in Pyongyang. "We shared the same food — and our feelings."

As separate squads, neither of the Koreas had been able to beat the team they called the "Great Wall" of table tennis: China, winner of eight consecutive women's world team titles leading up to that year's championships in Chiba, Japan. But Hyun, a 20-year-old from the southern port city of Busan, and the baby-faced 22-year-old Li teamed to help the Koreas finally break China's streak and clinch the gold medal.

The recent South Korean film "As One" reconstructs the complex bid to field a united team of players from both sides of the world's most heavily militarized border. It was just four years after North Korean agents blew up a South Korean airliner, killing all 115 people on board.

At first, the players regarded one another suspiciously. Their countries had fought against one another for three years in the 1950s, and the Korean Peninsula has remained in a state of war since a truce was signed in 1953. In the film, trash talking at a team banquet leads to a brawl.

"Did you see their faces?" one South Korean athlete says in the film. "So morbid."

In a telephone interview with AP, Hyun recalled her dismay when she learned she would be playing doubles with Li, whom she considered a notch lower in skill.

"I was too young to understand how symbolic it was," she said.

Both players were fiercely competitive. Getting past their rivalry, as well the cultural clashes, took time. The film contrasts the rigid orderliness of the North Koreans with the constant horseplay among the southerners.

Then, one day, Li missed practice, debilitated by hepatitis.

"My heart ached," Hyun said. "Aside from the rivalry between us and between our countries, I started hoping Li would get better and do well for her country."

Against all odds, friendships blossomed. The once-reluctant teammates together sang ballads that predated the peninsula's division. Their coaches bonded in a marathon drinking session. Stiff handshakes became high fives.

Li and Hyun developed a profound respect and affection for one another. They became confidantes as well as teammates, and their performances were crucial in helping the unified team win the women's title.

A 1991 photo shows the two in identical blue team suits, smiling, their hands clasped.

"We speak the same language," Li said. "We're the same people. We're Korean. We all had the same goal: To win."

But as the movie shows, they sometimes sparred — teasingly — with their ping pong paddles as well as with words.

Did you ever want to live in the South?" says the actress, Ha Ji-won, who portrays Hyun. "We live better than the North. The health care is better."

"Isn't life better in the U.S. than the South?" the fictional Li, played by Bae Doona, fires back. "Why don't you live there?"

In the film, Li admires Hyun's gold ring. Hyun confides that it was a gift from her father, who was hospitalized back home.

At their tearful parting, Hyun presses the ring into Li's hands.

Afterward, the two went home to their opposing sides of the Demilitarized Zone.

Restricted from writing or phoning, they saw each other only one more time, at the next world championships, when the two Koreas competed separately and Hyun won the singles titles. China resumed its dominance in the women's team event and launched another winning streak following the solitary triumph of the united Korean team.

In the years that followed, expectations were high that the two Koreas would keep using sports diplomacy to forge peace — at least on the playing field. And at times, there was some traction.

In 2000, North and South Korean athletes marched together into the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics under the unified Korea flag, sparking a standing ovation. Months earlier, their leaders held a landmark summit in Pyongyang, raising hopes of reconciliation. There was talk during those "sunshine" years of suiting up as a combined team for competition again.

But with relations now at their lowest point in decades, and Pyongyang issuing regular threats against South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and his allies, that won't happen in London.

Team Korea, which is sending 245 South Koreans to the London Olympics to compete in 22 sports, will keep its distance from Team PRK Korea, which is sending 51 athletes to compete in nine sports, including women's football, boxing and, of course, table tennis.

Pyongyang also will send its first delegation to the Paralympics — headed by none other than Li.

At 44, she is still athletic and has devoted herself to bringing the disabled out of the shadows of North Korean society through sports. Li, whose son has cerebral palsy, now heads her country's first Paralympic committee and was interviewed at the Taedonggang Cultural Center for the Disabled in Pyongyang.

Hyun went on to become one of South Korea's most decorated players and respected coaches, an Olympic gold medalist who in 2010 was inducted into the International Table Tennis Federation's Hall of Fame. Now 42, she is a director of the Korea Table Tennis Association in Seoul.

She misses Li, and remembers nights spent huddled together over snacks, away from the watchful eye of the North Korean security detail. An attempt by the filmmakers to bring them together for a reunion in Beijing was thwarted when South Korea's Unification Ministry denied Hyun's request for permission to meet the North Korean.

Were they ever to meet again, Hyun said, she would tell Li all about her family.

Nor have the ensuing two decades diminished Li's affection for Hyun, who she describes as "a woman of few words" — straightforward and ambitious.

"I miss her very much," said Li, her eyes glistening with tears. She still, 21 years later, cherishes the gold ring given to her by her old doubles partner.

How do I link my AdSense account to Google Analytics?

To start receiving data from AdSense within your Google Analytics account, you must first choose an Analytics account to link AdSense to, and then make sure that both AdSense and Google Analytics code is on your webpages.*

To start linking accounts, look in your AdSense account for the link inviting you to integrate your accounts. This link appears on both the Home Overview page and the Performance reports tab.

When you click the link, you'll be asked to create a new Analytics account, or indicate an existing Analytics account to link to.

Please note that to link to an existing Analytics account, your AdSense login must be an Administrator on that Analytics account. In other words, your AdSense login must work for your Analytics account as well before you can link to it. Learn troubleshooting tips if you're unable to link to your existing Analytics account.

If you have multiple Analytics accounts, be sure you know the name of the account you want to link to (as listed on the Analytics accounts Overview page) so that you can select that account during linking.

When you are done linking, you'll need to make sure that you are using Analytics tracking code on all of your webpages using AdSense. Learn more about the code you'll need on your pages.

Scenarios for linking AdSense to Analytics
1) I don't have a Google Analytics account to link to.

2) I have an existing Analytics account with only one profile.

3) I have an existing Analytics account and want to link my AdSense account to multiple profiles.

4) I have an Analytics account and want to link my AdSense account to multiple domains.

5) I have more than one Analytics account I want to link to.

Answers

1) I don't have a Google Analytics account to link to.

On the 'Getting Started' page, you're prompted to select either 'Create my free Google Analytics account' or 'I already have a Google Analytics account. Please link it to this AdSense account.' Select the first option. Click 'Continue.' Follow the set-up wizard to create a new Google Analytics account and link it to your AdSense account.


2) I have an existing Analytics account with only one profile.

This is the simplest case which requires a one-click linking process.

    On the 'Getting Started' page, you're prompted to select either 'Create my free Google Analytics account' or 'I already have a Google Analytics account. Please link it to this AdSense account.' Select the second option. Click 'Continue.'
    At Step 1, you'll see a confirmation message listing the Analytics account and profile you've linked your AdSense account to. No code changes are needed.
    Click 'Finish.'



3) I have an existing Analytics account and want to link my AdSense account to multiple profiles.

    On the 'Getting Started' page, you're prompted to select either 'Create my free Google Analytics account' or 'I already have a Google Analytics account. Please link it to this AdSense account.' Select the second option. Click 'Continue.'
    At Step 1, select the profiles you want to link to. Click 'Continue.'
    Select your primary domain. Click 'Continue' to finish. No code changes are necessary in this scenario as well. If you have multiple domains you want to link to, please read Scenario 3.



4) I have an existing Analytics account and want to link my AdSense account to multiple domains.

This scenario is for people who want to track more than one website in their Google Analytics account. For each website, you may have one or more profile assigned to it.

    On the 'Getting Started' page, you're prompted to select either 'Create my free Google Analytics account' or 'I already have a Google Analytics account. Please link it to this AdSense account.' Select the second option. Click 'Continue.'
    At Step 1, select the profiles you want to link to. Click 'Continue.'
    Step 2 asks you to select a primary domain. Designate one of your websites as the primary domain. The primary domain requires no code changes, so if you have a site that's large, complex, or difficult to update the code for, that would typically be the site you should designate as your primary domain. Profiles for your other non-primary domains will require a modification to the tracking code.
    In Step 3, you'll see that there are no code changes required for your primary domain. For all other non-primary domains, there is an extra code snippet, the AdSense Analytics Code, to add. The AdSense Analytics Code should be added to the top of any non-primary website that contains your AdSense ads.
    Click 'Continue' to finish.



5) I have more than one Analytics account I want to link to.

You can only link one AdSense account to one Google Analytics account at this time.

How To Start a Google AdSense Account and Make Money Blogging

Starting a new account with Google AdSense is one of the easiest ways to start monetizing your blog. While Google AdSense might not make you rich, it's a simple and useful tool. In fact, it's usually the first step bloggers typically take to earn an income from their blogs because it is so easy to get started.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 10-15 minutes to open an account. Additional time to research the options to monetize your blog.
Here's How:

    Read the Google AdSense program policies.

    Familiarize yourself with what you can and cannot do as part of the Google AdSense program to ensure you're prepared to start your new account.

    Visit the Google AdSense home page.

    Click on the 'Sign Up Now' button in the upper righthand corner of your screen.

    Complete the online application.

    You will need to provide your blog's URL and primary language as well as answer some questions related to the rules of the Google AdSense program. You'll also need to provide your payment information to receive the money you generate on your blog from Google.

    Access your new account and review the ads available to you.

    Google AdSense provides a wide variety of advertising options to bloggers from text ads to image ads and more. Take some time to research everything that's available to determine what will work best for your blog.

    Select your ad design choices.

    Once you've decided which ad opportunities are best for your blog, select them. Google will provide a snippet of HTML code to you after you make your selection.

    Insert your Google AdSense HTML code into your blog.

    Copy and paste the HTML code provided by Google into your blog's template. One of the easiest ways for a beginner blogger to do this is by inserting a text widget into his or her blog's template and pasting the code in the widget.

    Let Google do the rest.

    It may take a few hours or a few days for Google to start serving ads on your blog. Google will search your blog to determine the predominant subjects of each page. When readers visit your blog, the HTML code you pasted into your blog from Google will activate and relevant ads will be displayed based on each page's content.

    Collect your money.

    Remember, Google AdSense typically pays based on click-throughs (the number of times people click on an ad). Therefore, Google AdSense is unlikely to generate a large income for you, but every bit helps!

Tips:

    Read and adhere to the Google AdSense policies in full before you sign up for a Google AdSense account. If you violate any of the policies, your account will be cancelled.
    Take some time to perfect your Google AdSense program once you get started by learning the steps you need to take to increase your Google AdSense earning potential.

Best Google Adsense alternatives for your blog

While Google’s Adsense program can’t be overtaken by any other Monetizing program. Still, due to its lengthy approving procedure and high requirements. We have specified the best Google Adsense alternatives for any blogger/wordpress blog. We think that it is the best way to earn money while Adsense is having a look at your profile for approving it. So, here are the best adsense alternatives for your blog.  

1. Luminate : Luminate provides you with playing with advertising in a different way and earn money at the same time. It includes images’ ads that allows you to monetize your images by installing a pop-up below each image. You can go to their website and check out their cool features.

2. Info Links : Info links are highly recommended and highly used ad program. It allows you to embed hover links from your articles. These hover links show their ads and makes you earn money in a whole lot of different way. We would recommend the users to use them only 3-4 times in your article as excess of that can lead your readers away from your website. While they recieve a lot of income also. They are actually the best adsense alternative for your blog.

3. Buy Sell Ads : Buy sell ads are really a good way to earn money through ads and it is also the most liked direct ad network. “Direct ads” means that the publisher will be directly connected to the advertiser. This allows you to earn more money through the same program.

4. Chitika : After showing up with Chitika maps and Chitika premium. Chitika will be highly recommended adsense alternative to the bloggers. We recommend Chitika because it is a decent program and makes you monitor the ads on your site directly.

5. adBrite : AdBrite ad exchange is also liked a lot due to its more interactive ads and showing them with some good images can get you any more clicks than anything else. So, why don’t use this adsense alternative AdBrite.

6. Kontera : Kontera is also a good advertising program for anyone’s blog. It allows you to show ads in your sidebar to the readers of a particular nation. It is good and pays a lot. I think that this one is worth viewing.

7. Bidvertiser is my personally used ad program. I have used it for quite some months and i think that you should too. The bidvertiser program allows you to fix a minimum ammount for your ads. The advertisers that will seek to display those ads will have to cross that bid and thus you can get the desired ammount. But, if you bid too high, then there are chances that the advertisers will not seek your ads at all.

8. Technorati media: Technorati media is the leading publisher of Social media ads and have successful control in ads above some of the best Social media sites such as Cnet, Yahoo, Google MSN and much more. The Minimum payout is $50 which maybe with the help of cheque or Paypal.

9. Tribalfusion : Tribal Fusion is one of the best ads provider and allows you to create ads for your site or sell one. While it have some harsh conditions to approve. Still, its one of the favorite for the probloggers. I hope that you get approved for this.

So, at the end. Thanks for reading the post. I hope that you like the advertising companies that i have suggested and the ads that they show. Personally, i would recommend you Adsense, but firstly, you need to get approved for that. Until then, enjoy Google  Adsense Alternatives 2012.

If that is your consent that the reader to your blog will not do that at any cost. Yeas, this is true. And neither the tutorial will be helpful to you. You would know more about it at any cost.

2. The publisher of any blog should think of only those readers who are ready to read your content. I mean, what is the reason of getting readers that don’t know your topic, don’t know your content and don’t even want to read any thing written by you. Those readers are worth nothing that don’t read your content or are off your topic. Those readers are not going to help you.

So, now you know what kind of followers should you expect. And how to get the most of your followers.

So, now lets move to the main topic i.e. how you can increase your blog followers. This is not a complex procedure, Not at all. You will see how?

1. To increase the readership of your blog. You need to have the content to attract them. And that too is not a timetaking process. All you need to do is do the keyword research, try the keywords on google, collect more info about the same topic and the last is to publish it interactively.

2. Readership of your blog increases simultaneously when you try to change the look of your blog. Your blog should have a unique look and features all at the same time. You need to have the  looks that can convince your readers for the topic.

3. Placing the RSS feeds subscribing button on your sidebar or at the end of each post just makes it easier for your readers to be closer to your content. You should create a RSS feed if you don’t have one. There is an excellent alternative for your blog readers to read your content at their doorsteps. Read it below.

4. To allow email newsletter for your blog. Just, go to some service that allows your blog to have each post excerpt delivered to the reader. Two of these services are mailchimp and aweber. There is one problem with both of them and that too is that they asks you for money. While aweber can increase your readership and charges only $1 as starting money. It is good for me and you.

5. After, you get these tricks on. Just go and tell some people about your blog. You can go to social networking sites and forums. Place your links there and try to get more and more inbound links from the other sites. When, people will see more exposure of your site, they are more likely to come again. Don’t they?

6. Comment on more and more blogs. You can simply leave your links behind by commenting on dofollow blogs. It is the most used way and the best part is that you don’t have to pay for it.

Now, you have a lot of readers. You have a number of people who are reading your content everyday. But, how do you benefit from them. A small hint maybe monetizing your whole system with one or more ad networks. Let’s read some more about them. in the next post. Thanks for reading and keep coming

How to Get Google Adsense Approval Fast?

Every blogger dreams of making a lot of money online and most of them want to make a lot of money online particularly from Google Adsense, because it’s simply the best and the most reputed ad network around which also offers the market best CPCs. But dreams of several newbies are shattered because Google Adsense has strict approval rules for obvious reasons like to reduce fake accounts, to reduce spam, to  prevent frauds from happening and some more reasons. And this is why some times even genuine Adsense applications get disapproved. Here are some things you should work on before applying for Google Adsense program.
Things to Keep in Mind

    When your Adsense application is disapproved (if you’ve applied before) there’s a genuine reason behind it…
    & thus every Adsense application is not meant to be approved.
    Mistakes can happen because there are humans reviewing your Adsense application…
    & so do not stop trying!

How To Get Approved For Adsense Fast?
URL of Your Website & it’s Age Matter

A person is more likely to visit a TLD (Top Level Domain) than a sub-domain (anything.anything.com). Also extensions like .co.cc, .tk, etc. are considered as Adsense unsafe as they are mostly used by spammers. So if you make use of sub-domains (especially Blogspot) or .co.cc domain or .tk domain, your application will be disapproved. A Blogspot blog may be approved in some cases, if it’s really a good blog, but .tk and .co.cc domains have very low Adsense approval rate.

I would rather suggest you to use  a TLD (preferably a .com one) while applying for Google Adsense. Alternatively, you can grab a good domain from GoDaddy auctions, Flippa or Sedo if you cannot think of a good domain or if you are looking for an aged domain as they have higher approval rates.
Get a Quality Check of Your Site Done

Before you apply for Google Adsense, get your site’s quality check done. No, you don’t need to hire someone to do this. You can in fact do your site’s quality check yourself. Here’s how you can do it:

    Review your site’s content. Make sure you have some 50 articles on your site, quality articles I mean before applying for Google Adsense.
    Go through your website’s traffic logs. If you are getting a lot of visitors from search engines, especially Google (since Adsense is a Google company) your site has something good in it.
    Go through some of your site’s pages and see if they’ve got any back links. You can use Majestic SEO for this. If they haven’t got any, build some yourself. While this isn’t a necessary step, but can help increase the Adsense application approval rate as your Adsense applications is directly proportional to your traffic which in turn is proportional to the back links you have!
    Check your site’s social standings. If your site or it’s pages are often shared on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus or on social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon, Reddit, etc. the chances are high for your Adsense application to be approved!
    If your site is based on the adult niche, don’t apply for Google Adsense. So far, they haven’t approved any adult website.

Tweak your Site’s Design

A simple design is much better than a cluttered one. You can rather call it as a professional design. A professional looking site has more chances of getting approved for Google Adsense program. Some useful elements of a professional design are:

    Easy navigation.
    Distraction-free colors.
    An easily accessible search box.
    Links to important pages like Privacy, Disclaimer, About Us, Archives, etc.
    Some social buttons.
    Link to your Google Plus profile.
    Mention your name & something about yourself on your site so that Google Adsense team can easily verify your website.

T&C are Not for F.U.N

If you still haven’t read the Google Adsense terms & conditions, you can read it here. Most of your questions are directly or indirectly answered there. And one thing, T&C are really not for fun. You must read all the terms and conditions carefully at least one before applying for Google Adsense. This helps boost approval rate.
Get All the Details Right

When you apply for Adsense, make sure that you fill each field carefully and correctly. Even a small mistake can get your Adsense application disapproved. In order to avoid mistakes, a good idea will be to jot down on all the details required to apply for Google Adsense (address, phone number, pin code, etc.) on a paper and verify it twice. Once done, open the Google Adsense application and fill in each field correctly. Once done, check each filed twice for any mistakes or typos. Pay special attention to your name & your pin code as even a small mistake in it can get your account disapproved.

It would be great if you can ask someone from your family to review your Adsense application before you actually submit it. This helps in avoiding any mistakes that may have happened unknowingly. This sounds crazy and time consuming, but believe me, this is necessary!
Don’t Submit More than One Application

Submitting more than one application does bring you in spotlight. But this reduces your chances of getting approved. Repeated applications are considered to be filled using robots which Google does not like and if you have submitted more than one application, your applications will rather be marked as spam and you may not even receive a reply from Google support!
Re-apply Carefully

If your Adsense application was disapproved at the first attempt, think twice before re-applying. When the Adsense team disapproves your application, they provide a reason for the same, which is mostly valid. So get all the things right and then re-apply.

Now this is all I can suggest you to get quick Adsense approval. There are no other hidden tactics to get speedy Google Adsense approval. Some people may suggest you to buy Google Adsense accounts, but I DON’T recommend it at all! These accounts sooner or later are found by guys at Google and you can predict what happens next!

If you have something to say about getting Adsense approval, if you have some more Google Adsense approval tips or tactics, comment and let us know. I will love to mention your tip in this post!

How to genrate traffic for your Bloger or Site Top 5 Tips

The length of time that you can keep your visitors on your website can be a crucial factor in determining how successful your blog will be.

Simply getting traffic in the form of thousands of unique visitors daily is meaningless if the time they spend on your site is less than a few seconds or your bounce rate is more than 95%.

There are certain things you can do in the way you present your pages and posts which will maximize the chances of your visitors sticking around for a longer period on your site.

The longer people stay the greater your opportunity to monetize their visit or convince them to take your desired call to action.

A call to action is an Internet marketing term which refers to the primary action that you want your visitors to take when they land on your page or website. One example of a call to action  is where you want someone to click your “buy now” button and purchase your product. Another might be that you want to get people to download your free ebook after signing up as members.

Below are some tips which will help you to keep the attention of your visitors or at the very least keep them interested long enough to stay and explore your site and ultimately perform the call to action you want them to.

    Remove unnecessary external links from your landing pages and use internal links
    Trying to increase the average visitor time on your site is one of the ways that you can decrease your bounce rate and increase your rankings.If you use Google Analytics you’ve probably already heard of the term “bounce rate”.Bounce rate (as defined by Google) is:“..the percentage of single-page visits or visits in which the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page”.

    Therefore plastering your affiliate banners and links all over your pages can work against you if your visitors leave your site immediately from the page they entered from.

    Try to entice your visitors to read more by offering them some relevant links to another internal page or post where you provide a useful review and which ultimately contains your affiliate banner. This way you are not pushing people straight out of the same door they entered.
    There are some useful WP plugins you can use to add relevant internal post links to your blog such as Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.
    Use emotion to present your message
    People most often buy from emotion whether they admit it or not. This is because the actions which emanate from emotion are quite often subconscious.
    Hence, an emotional response is much more likely to achieve a call to action than a logical one.For instance if you are trying to convince someone to buy your product by using logic, then the chances are that they will also look at your argument from a rational point of view and they will weigh up the pros and cons of buying versus not buying.If you introduce an emotional element to your message such as presenting a benefit or selling a solution to a problem or highlighting how people can get closer to achieving their dream, then you will appeal to the emotional decision making areas of the brain.
    This will maximize the chances of gaining a customer because it will create an emotional connection between your message and the reader.Therefore once you have successfully forged a positive emotional relationship with your readers, they will happily want to come back to your site to explore further or even become regular customers.
    Include video content on your posts and pages
    Video is one of the most effective ways to communicate a message to people. Even short videos of just a few minutes can often deliver more value to your readers than multiple pages of writing can.
    Therefore in the cases where you would usually get people browsing through an article in 10 to 20 seconds before leaving, the added benefit of using a short video is that it increases the likely-hood that people will stay on your site for longer because they are watching your video.
    Video on the Internet is really just a modern extension of TV but the great thing is that you get to be the producer of the content.
    Use captivating images in conjunction with your copy or content
    Quite often the right image coupled with the relevant content can induce an emotional response and it can help lay the foundations for the right mindset you want to create before somebody reads your sales pitch or post.
    Humans are quite easily visually stimulated and you can exploit this by using effective images and colors with your message.
    Focus on providing value and informative content rather than blatant advertising
    Your content and the value which it provides is the sticking point which helps to build a relationship with your readers. A relationship needs some measure of trust by both parties but when you successfully gain this trust from your readers or clients then you are also creating a longer term investment where current customers also become future customers.There are many ways you can provide value for people who will in turn be very happy to return the favor by becoming a customer. For instance you could offer free online courses or a series of tutorials which people can access after they sign up as free members.
    You could also set up your own forum or support system which provides help to people but also an opportunity for people to interact with each other.
