Simple Burger's Grill Recipes



Grilling burgers are fun and easy if you follow few simple guidelines. There may be no one right way to grill the perfect burger, but this article will help you learn to make your perfect burger.

Ingredients :

  • Ground beef
  • Seasoning (Optional) 
  1. Salt 
  2. Pepper 
  3. Worcestershire Sauce 
  4. Soy sauce 
  5. Steak sauce 
  6. Barbecue sauce
  7. Onion
  • Cheese (optional)
Steps

1. Buy quality and fresh meat. If possible, ask your butcher to grind the meat for you while you wait. Look for 75 - 80 percent lean for the juiciest burgers and tasty (leaner meat will be dryer and more likely to fall apart on the grill; more fat means more flavor). The meat should have a bright pink color. This is critical, as meat that has even a slight grayish color may be fine for meatloaf, but will drastically affect the taste of your burgers.


2. Season the meat (or not) as desired. 
Many chefs like to add sauces or other seasoning's to burgers before cooking; others like to prepare their burgers plain to let the natural flavour of good quality meat shine through. Experiment with plain burgers or try adding your favourite flavours before cooking. Here are some classic burger seasoning's many people enjoy (try adding just a few tsp when learning how much you like; you don't want to over-seasoning)

Seasoning
Salt & Pepper
Finely Chopped Onion
Soy Sauce
Worcestershire Sauce
Barbecue Sauce
Steak Sauce
3. Shape the hamburger meat into 1/4 - 1/3 lb patties, about 1/2 inch thick, and about the diameter of a hamburger bun. Try not to overwork the meat when doing the shaping; the more you handle it, the dryer and tougher it will tend to be when cooked.

Shape by hand or machine
4. Prepare your grill. Many cooks prefer a charcoal grill for added smoke flavour, while others enjoy the convenience of gas.

Start the heat
  • Charcoal grill : If using a charcoal grill, avoid using lighter fluid, which can leave unpleasant residual flavors. Instead, use a chimney starter which avoids chemicals. Use enough charcoal to cover the bottom of your grill and create a hot fire.
  • Gas grill : Ignite your grill and turn to "high." Wait until it is thoroughly heated before grilling.
5. Brush the hot rack of your grill with oil to prevent sticking (optional).

6. Place your burgers on hot grill. Especially if using a charcoal grill, pay attention to where your grill is hotter or cooler (all grills have some spots that are hotter than others). Pay attention to the time.

7. Turn your burgers after 4-5 minutes, and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Do your best not to turn the burgers more than once; the more you handle meat while it is cooking, the dryer it will be.

Turn over your patty after 4-5 minutes
8. Add sliced cheese about 1-2 minutes before the burgers are done (optional).

9. Check to make sure the burgers are done. Here are two ways to do this :

Remove one burger and cut into it. For medium-rare, the inside should be pinkish, but not bloody.
Use an instant-read meat thermometer. The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
10. Take your burgers off the grill as soon as they are done to avoid overcooking. Remember that they will cook a little bit after they are taken from the grill.

How to Earn Money Through Google Adsense?



Money for nothing? Well, not quite—but close! Google’s AdSense is a revenue-sharing opportunity for small, medium and large web sites that places ads for goods and services that are relevant to the content of your site, targeted to the people who frequent your pages. In turn, you get paid a small amount when the ad is either displayed on your page, or clicked on. We'll show you some good ideas that added to your own, will help increase your AdSense revenue.

How to Improve Search Engine Ranking



Showing up on search engines is one of the most critical ways to increase website traffic and expose your content, product or service to people who might be interested in what you have to offer. Most of the major search engines utilize an algorithm to determine where a website ranks. The search engines have set up specific criteria that a website must meet to get to the top of the list. The criteria are different for every engine, but all engines share several commonalities. It all boils down to the type and amount of content provided on a given website, the level of optimization done on the site, and the popularity of the website (link popularity/PageRank). Tailoring your website for improved search engine rankings is also known widely as search engine optimization, or SEO.

1. Research the keywords. 
Decide what search queries you want to show up for. Do some research on how many people are actually searching for your site. Many times it is best to consult a "natural search engine optimization" professional during this process. There are several tools available from Google, Overture, and third party software developers that can make the keyword research process easier.

2. Target niche keywords with low competition. 
Try to use Google Adwords to check how competitive before deciding on it. Be sure that the keywords has enough searches. Try using broad key words too.

3. Think outside of the box. 
Don't just focus on your main keywords. The first thing to realize when targeting keywords is that it is not all about ranking for the most popular keyword. The most successful search engine marketing and optimization campaigns target the most relevant keywords. For example, if you are a realtor in a particular area, don’t just optimize your site for “real estate." Optimize your site for dentist, florist, movie theaters, etc. You would be amazed how many unique visitors will come through to your site when "outside of the box" thinking occurs.

4. Focus on the end user. 
If you spend too much time trying to please the Search Engine Spiders, you may forget about the end user. Think about what your target market needs to accomplish their goals, and then put it on your site so that they can find it. The phrase "content is king" was born about 6 years ago, and it still holds true today. If you want to be relevant for specific keywords, than you need superior or at least highly competitive content. Write about 225-300 words of copy for each keyword and plant it on your site each day. Grow, grow, and grow. On average, one can target between 3-5 like keyword phrases per page. Make it as natural as possible and the Search Engines will reward you with a first-page ranking.

5. Make sure that all the pages of the site have custom titles and descriptions. 
If your site is using the same tags for all the pages, you are not helping search engines figure out the subject or relevance of your individual pages. Regarding Meta Tags, there are 2 very important fields :

  • Title Tag - arguably the most important SEO tag for any website. Google supports approx. 60 characters in the title, while Yahoo allows for up to 110 characters in the title. It is important to target the most critical keywords in the Title. Every page should have a unique Title.
  • META Description Tag - These were once important but are no longer. Some engines do display the description defined, while others do not. Some search engines do read the description tag, and do utilize the content found within in the ranking process. Google, MSN and Yahoo give very little weight to no weight for these.
6. To make sure that you have not missed any tags or damaged any links in the process, use an inspection tool to look over your website. In the process of inspection, you will also automatically be provided with a sitemap (refer to step 7 for significance).

7. Keep the structure, navigation and URL structure of your site simple enough for search engines to follow. Remember that search engines cannot parse your navigation if it's using flash or javascript. So try to stay close to standard HTML when it comes to Navigation. URLs with dynamic parameters (?, &, SIDs) usually do not perform when it comes to search engine rankings.

8. Create a site map that tells people where everything is on your site. You will get about a 1% click through rate to your site map. However, it will do wonders for those who know what site maps do, and the Search Engines will like it as well.

9. Build up your popularity. 
So now you have determined the right keywords on the right pages, you've created all of the necessary content, and you've optimized all of the content to the best of your capabilities. Congratulations - you're now in the top 80th percentile (from an optimization standpoint) of the websites listed for the keywords you're trying to target. So how do you get a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd page listing? The answer is quite simple: You have to be the most popular, too. That's right, it's a popularity contest. In other words, how many other websites know you (link to you), and how popular are they? This is typically referred to as link popularity, or called PageRank by Google. 
  • The more sites that link to your site the better, and the more popular the site linking to you the more value you will receive for your link popularity. The best types of "link building" are directory registration, text link advertising, and press release distribution. Try to offer valuable information or tools so that other people are motivated to link to your site. Well-linked sites (that don't use spamming) do better in search engines.

10. Build up good quality content. 
This will draw regular visitors to your website.

Tips :
  • Search engine algorithms assess the relevance of your page to any particular keyword by the content on your pages. For instance if you are selling "widgety widgets" on your site and you do not mention "widgety widgets" on your page text, search engines have very little to work with. Also make sure that you are not spamming search engines by using the same keyword over and over.
  • Correct broken links, search engines do not like dead ends.
  • It really comes down to just using common sense. Just sit down and think, "What would other people search to find this? What would I search for to find this?" Try phrases in your keyword research tool to get new ideas and find the higher trafficked most targeted phrases. DO NOT look at the numbers spat back out at you by these programs as accurate numbers, they rarely are. You can still use these tools to get ideas on new keywords, search patterns of users, and many other things, that mixed with the information of trends in that area, can really help you.
  • One of the key things you can do for your ranking in search engines is traffic. Any type of traffic will work and can not be effected by the algorithms because to block any traffic in an algorithm could effect the search engines own product as in the case of Google and their pay per click advertising. Most Algorithms do use the bounce rate of your traffic as a way of blocking traffic exchange traffic which is nearly 100% bounce traffic. If your only advertising comes from traffic exchanges then you are doing more damage than good. 
  • One soulution to this is to use a service like Just10Time or Ad Cyclones Traffic which provide 100% bounce free traffic to your site which could reduce the effects and even change your bounce ratio of your website to a point that your Traffic Exchange traffic actually starts helping your ranking.
  • Interior links within your site will improve SEO; Sitemaps are a great way to generate internal links and make your website better too!
  • The most important thing to remember is the purpose of nearly all online advertising is to get your website to the top 3 pages of the search engines so that when someone is looking for what you sell or offer your page shows up. This free advertising in the most powerful in the world, but it can't be purchased it must be earned. People pay billions of dollars a year to companies like Google for tiny little ads that do not give enough information to even attract the right kind of client. The reason that it works though is because the ads are so small. A tiny ad that grabs someone attention will also cause them to click on things in the site looking for what they thought the ad was saying. That is valuable traffic that then increases the ranking in the search engine because it does not take a lot of real traffic to get your page to the first 3 pages of the search engines. While some sites get tons of traffic every month most don't so it is pretty easy to knock most sites out of the top and get your site seen.
  • Bold and italics can make your keywords stand out more with the search engines.
  • Although not as important as they used to be, reciprocal links do still matter with Google. Reciprocate with similar websites and include keywords near the links on your site.
  • Now when digging deeper to understand the traffic patterns of certain keywords use Wordtracker’s GTrends Tool. You can get an idea on the amount of competition on Google compared to the amount of searches. Now these numbers are far from accurate, But, if you can kind of step back and take a broader look at things, don’t worry so much about the numbers but compare the trends since it shows the past history. See if its steady traffic, traffic that is going extinct, or traffic just starting to peak. By using this tool, you can many times find some golden opportunities.
  • If you want to optimize well for your city, state etc., make sure to sprinkle geographic search terms throughout. Include it in text as well as set apart. Search engines do not know where you are unless you tell them.
  • If you have over 30 keywords that mean business to you, then you might want to hire a Professional Search Engine Copywriting firm or outsource it to freelancers.
  • Anyone who can go to Google and type in "keyword research" will find very many tools that mixed with common sense should suffice quite well.
Warnings :
  • Never have hyperlinks like "click here", hyperlinks should always be keywords, long hyperlinks with multiple keywords are even better.
  • Never participate on any kind of link exchange with other sites which may lead to a ban from search engines
  • Remember that if you use black-hat SEO techniques, you run the risk of getting penalized by the search engines and having your web site permanently removed from their index.
  • If you are going to use freelancers, beware of duplicate content. Always make sure to check the content that you get by searching for the content on Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
  • Don't hide content.
  • Don't create duplicate websites.
