I am building an ajax based website . For Ajax based websites looks like DFP is a good solution for earning money . Also in DFP you can enable Adsense to show the ads ( you can refer below links) .

1) DFP :- You can use it in your ajax code
2) Adsense :- You can't show it using Ajax directly ( as per terms and conditions )
But can we show Adsense in DFP which I am loading using ajax ? Any one using this approach or does it violate terms and conditions of Ad sense ?
Thank You All
You can do it. I asked this question in person at Google's "AdSense in Your City" event in the fall of 2012, and the reps said it was acceptable, and in fact advocated doing this.
Using DFP as a carrier for AdSense only is completely acceptable. You don't have to use DFP to manage other ads with only AdSense as a fall-back. You get the benefits and the drawbacks of DFP. You've mentioned one of the benefits. Another major one is built-in targeting... for example you could show larger, more obnoxious ads to users from countries with a lower eCPM to offset their lower ROI. One of the drawbacks is that the DFP stuff loads slower than AdSense, and its integration with AdSense reports and channels is quite poor. DFP AdSense units also seem to get new AdSense features later than "native" AdSense.

I have created a personal website using the Academic Theme for Hugo. I am hosting the page on GitHub.
The site works, but it is unfortunately very hard to find on google. Specifically, if I type my username followed by "github", it appears as the first result. However, it doesn't show at all if I type just my username into google. I went through until page 8 of the results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. May be useful to know that Google Console has not found an issue. Also, the page shows up as the first result on both Bing and DuckDuckGo when typing just my username.
This is the page: https://michagermann.github.io/
This has to do with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).
Basically how search results work is that google has bots that go through the accessible page is on the internet and compile keywords for each page it hits, these are then linked to the search phrases people use. So username + github is an easy one as that is the majority of your url, however just your username will have many other results from others that have your username in their webpages, some of them multiple times, others once but have been around for a lot longer. There are a lot of variables to SEO but there are guides which can help with this.

Googles Starter Guide for SEO

I would also hazard a guess and say that google is pulling back a lot of your publications which bing and duckduckgo aren't, and as these will likely have been accessed more will I expect be higher in the search algorithm.

Link Building
This is very important for SEO, this is where external sites link to your sites. The easiest way to achieve this is through your personal profiles on Twitter, LinkedIn, Github ect.
Writing Blogs can also have other people link to your profile and thus increase your link building.
DO NOT PAY FOR LINK BUILDING
Link building for Google is based off of high quality sites - every site has a ranking, a low quality site will have a much lower affect on your SEO score, and thus not result in any noticeable movement. Paid link building usually involves low quality sites
Site Maps
If you have a multi-page site (Yours isn't) then site maps help search bots navigate the important pages easier, and can help increase rankings.
Meta Tags
These are extremely important, although some tags are more important than others, title(included with the element), author and description are some of the more important meta tags.
I'm not an SE optimizer and haven't done much SEO for a few years so this is from old experience and I don't guarantee it is all correct as of writing, however I expect it hasn't changed that often. SEO is a complex area and search engines have different preferences. But hopefully this helps. A lot of SEO comes through time rather than right away through link building so that is also something to keep in mind
First of all know about how the google search works....and if you simply type your name it won't show your website as such because there may be multiple highly prioritized websites are there with this name in the first place......
And if type yourname.github its nothing but the direct address of your page so that's why it is shown in the first place

I wanna use mobile analytics inside my iPhone app, i have read about both they are similar to each other but some persons say that Localytics is better and others say the GoogleAnalytics is better, advice is highly appreciated.
I am currently using Localytics inside my app , it is good analytics but it has disadvantage compared to google analytics which is you can track limited events per user and if you tried to register more than that number they will remove all your events attributes, so that i will remove my localytis account and start using google analytics because it does not use such limiting , because of the importance of the events and there attributes i will leave localytics and go google analytics , All other analytics things the same
The biggest difference between Localytics and Google Analytics is that Localytics is designed for apps, not websites. Localytics collects a richer data set by default and allows you to create any number of events with any number of attributes (GA limits you to just one). SDKs are available for all leading platforms, are very lightweight and provided in source code.
Localytics has both free and paid versions. The free version, called Community, does have some limits on event occurrences, collecting personal data and data cardinality, but very few customers hit those limits. And unlike Google, Localytics doesn't sample your app usage. Additionally, Localytics Enterprise customers have access to session-level data for integration with other systems.
Much more info is available on our website, including technical docs (http://localytics.com/docs). If you don't find what you need there or you have more questions, please ping me and I would be happy to help.
Just for anyone reading this as of 2015 - Google Analytics allows up to 50 custom dimensions with your events and each event contains three hierarchical fields by default, plus a value field. Google analytics doesn't "Sample App Usage", unless you hit extraordinarily high limits, but does have reporting limits, beyond which the reports will be based on a sample of the data collected. With Google Analytics Premium you can get the unsampled data also. GA also supports tracking users between a website and native apps using a unique member token.

Say I am required to build an E-Commerce website that could eventually become very very large. The site would start with at least 100,000 different products, and would include features like Amazon. Would you advise me to use a CMS? or to build this website from ground up?
Something to take into consideration is that if I use a CMS, there would still need to be lots of custom coding, since we want many features not commonly available.
Taking into consideration factors such as Speed, Security and Scalability.
Features would include: Different sets of details for different products, product comparisons, reviews, customer management, customer points system, and all the basic ecommerce features.
If you say CMS, Can you also suggest CMS's that would be great for this kind of store.
Thank you.
Well you have to consider many things. in general means, using CMS is good idea.It reduce development time as well as development cost. But you may need to make modifications on source code in order to gain what exactly you want from it. On the other hand build such application from scratch allows you to obtain exactly what you want. but its will takes time as well as much cost.
follow through bellow link
http://www.mykeblack.com/web-design/how-much-does-an-ecom-website-cost
and also if you choose an FOSS CMS find something has higher community involvement as well as support.
If you use paypal as payment method , check their web site. they suggest couple of good commercial CMS.
The ideal e-commerce solution for that volume would be Magento
The only downfall is that its very robust and has a steep learning curve. I do NOT recommend using a framework that is a blogging site first, with an e-commerce plugin or add-on such as WordPress. It will not be able to support the traffic, the product volume, or the security precautions that should be taken.
Obviously is better if you use a CMS, I recommend you OpenCart if you just want to do an E-Commerce web site, it's is so simple and Open Source.
For something bigger you can try Joomla as CMS and a great extension called VirtueMart (http://virtuemart.net)[3], it's very complete an extensible..
Any time you use pre-made code, you are at the mercy of the features included. Adding features can be significantly harder than with custom code.
That having been said, it is definitely not unheard of to START your site with pre-made code (or even a whole platform - like selling via Amazon) and only the included features so you can start making revenue while you write your own solution.

I have never used a CMS before nor have I built a E-commerce site before so I have several questions regarding this and choosing one:
My background:
I am not a programmer: I am a designer and I am proficient with using HTML and CSS, as well as having some experience using and "tweeking" some Jquery Plugins such as sliders, picture viewers, to use in my markup.
I need help choosing the right CMS to build a E-commerce site for a very small shop and my choice of CMS must meet these requirements:
1) most important: the site must do some sort of automatic SEO for the products added using the names of the products, ie "poster of michael jackson".
2) most important #2: The website doesn't have to keep stats on a million things or have a million random features but the products we will be selling on this site MUST have a second level of variables to go with their choice. ie when the the buyer chooses to purchase the "michael jackson poster" - then they must be able to choose the "poster frame style" and see the choices in thumbnails for example of what these frames look like (wood, plastic, metal) and also other options such as "poster glass choice" with several types of glass to choose as variables
3) It has a very easy to use backend for my client (who knows nothing about websites) to update content.
4) Something I can set up without being a programmer given my skill set listed above. I can purchase or use a free template to get started but i'd like to eventually be able to stylize the site myself to give it my own theme/look and front end UI features such as a picture slide show or something I want to build/plugin that may not be part of the template.
Thanks in advance! I'm very very new to this stuff.
p.s. i was looking at magento, is that a good one for these requirements?
one option is an all-in-one hosted system like shopify, volusion, corecommerce, or yahoo stores. you can totally customize the design, but they handle the e-commerce engine and have seo compatibility... magento is excellent and is very customizable.
Exact Abacus offer Ecommerce software that seems to tick all your boxes. Its probably unlike anything you've seen before, so definitely worth a look.

A client of ours is a membership organization and they are looking for functionality that seems closely aligned with Google Sites capabilities.
They want a system where their members can have a content managed site of their own that one or more admins can create by submitting a simple form.
The member organization could then add/remove pages, add/edit/remove content, add their own users, modify their color scheme and layout.
They would like the ability to have a url structure like, "member_org_url_to_be_named/member_name" - but it could also be subdomains (i.e. "member_name.member_org_url_to_be_named").
So they need a security hierarchy to be able to have different levels of users:
Admin - can add/edit/remove sites, users, etc.
Member Admin - can add/edit content within their site, add users that are also able to add/edit content within their site.
Member user - can add/edit content within their site.
From what I've seen and read, Google Sites seems to be able to handle this functionality. It's a little difficult to get in touch with someone there who would be able to tell me this definitively, however. So I'm wondering if there are any other platforms that might be able to handle this workflow.
Obviously, I'd love to hear from anyone who has implemented a system like this before. I'd also love to hear from anyone who has actually used Google Sites.
(Disclaimer: I work for Google. I don't know much about Sites though.)
Have you actually tried to use Google Sites for this? It strikes me that it shouldn't take very long to give it a whirl. If you have any Sites-specific questions, the Google Sites help centre and user forum are probably good starting places.
This sounds like content management with roles. Drupal fits this purpose pretty much perfectly.
http://drupal.org/
I've used Google Sites (the free "standard edition") a very little bit, it was easy to setup + easy to reconfigure my DNS records via nearlyfreespeech.net to setup CNAME and MX records to a domain I own.
The mailing list stuff works nicely. The site editing is very easy for anyone to use but a bit slllllooooowwww and somewhat clumsy, and doesn't appear to "play nicely" with the concept of uploading/downloading via FTP/SFTP/etc. I don't like the idea of my group's users spending all this time developing a website, that I can't backup or transfer to someone other than Google if I run into an issue.
I don't know if these issues are addressed in the pay version of Google Sites. For the moment I'm definitely keeping the email-mailing-list features going, but looking around elsewhere for something similar that works better.
(If you find something please post!)
