Adsense Trick - Niche Keyword

Your brain screams "Gimme Fast", "Gimme Easy", "Do it for me automatically"! So when you see the headline that reads...

"Imagine Spying On Your Competition To Build A Massive Targeted Keyword List Of 3000 Or More Keywords On Auto-Pilot... In 10 Minutes Or Less And Skyrocket Your Adsense Profits Quickly And Easily"

You think "Hmmmm. Sounds good. Looks intriguing..."

"Never Build Another Keyword List The Slow And Hard Way!"

Gosh. Is it possible?

"You must understand that this is a numbers game."

O.K. Now tell me something not quite so obvious.

The above headlines and subheadlines are quoted directly from a sales letter for a relatively new piece of software (no names will be mentioned here) that's intended to eliminate all the "hard work" of doing keyword research. It sounds exciting. No more tedious keyword research. Yes! I find life is so much more enjoyable when I don't have to engage my brain.

Don't pull out your credit card just yet.

With this particular product there's no need to review the entire sales letter to find out what else the software will do for you. It's all nicely summarized in the very first headline.

The sales letter includes a link to view a nice video presentation demonstrating how the software works, and it certainly appears to do exactly what the author says it will. I have no doubt that the program delivers on all of the promises of the sales letter, but what exactly are you getting?

Let's go back to the headline again...

"Imagine Spying On Your Competition To Build A Massive Targeted Keyword List Of 3000 Or More Keywords On Auto-Pilot... In 10 Minutes Or Less And Skyrocket Your Adsense Profits Quickly And Easily"

Again, I may be tempted to plop down one cool C Note, but what's wrong with this picture?

What doesn't this software tell you?

1) Keyword search frequency.
2) The amount of competition for any keyword.
3) Keyword bid cost in Google Adwords and/or the approximate Adsense value.

When you take the approach of "spying on your competition", be very careful not to give your competition too much credit for having done their homework. Maybe they did. Maybe they didn't.

If you generate a "highly targeted" keyword list of 3,000 keywords and you don't know the search frequency, the amount of competition for any of the keywords, the Adword bid cost or the approximate Adsense value, what do you do from there?

ANSWER: Start over.

Some marketers like to say that Wordtracker is just "So Expensive"! Have you seen the price of a "Value Meal" at McDonald's lately? "SuperSize It" and you've spent about the same amount of money that it would cost to gain access to Wordtracker for a day. As of the writing of this article, a one-day subscription to Wordtracker costs $7.65.

If you've never used Wordtracker before, you can easily learn all of the "how to's" in a few hours by using their tutorials, which are very well done. Now you still have 20 hours to do intelligent keyword research. You'll have the answers to the important questions that you really should be asking, and you'll have spent a whopping $7.65. Now that's an outstanding value.

Just because someone creates a software application that "automates" the work for you doesn't necessarily mean that the information you'll generate is worth anything.

Would you rather have...

- A big fat hairy list of 3,000 keywords with no real useful information about any of them.

OR

- A truly valuable list of keywords with the search frequency and amount of competition for each and every keyword.

Choose the latter.

Begin with the end in mind. Formulate a plan. Think through your entire project and strategize.

When you learn how to use Wordtracker efficiently, you'll be able to research 10 niche markets in a day without breaking a sweat.

When it comes to keyword research, there are some shortcuts that you can take by using services like Wordtracker and even some very good software programs, but don't give in to the temptation to shift the gray matter into idle.

There are effective ways to build content sites and there are other "click a button and build a bazillion page site" methods. The shelf life of the latter is getting shorter every week.

In the words of the great Aretha Franklin, "Think. Thinka-think."

Adsense trick for maximizing Your Google AdSense Revenues

2008-12-18T06:21:00.000-08:00

Despite what you may hear, the Google AdSense program is not for everyone. There are some types of web sites that do poorly no matter how hard the owners try, and there are others that should be doing well but the webmaster simply isn’t putting in the effort to make things happen.
Here are some tips to make AdSense work better for you. If you do them all and you’re still not having any luck, then you just might be running one of those sites that don’t make money

1. Determine if your visitors are “in the mood”

Like I mentioned at the top of this article, some web sites just don’t work with pay-per-click programs.
The best performing sites fall into one of these categories:

• Sites where users go and expect to buy something while they are there. E-commerce sites fit the bill here..
• Sites where users go to find specific information on something that they want to buy now. Music and video review sites, vacation information sites, resume building sites, etc. You don’t have to actually be selling these types of things; your site can just be a mecca for information pertaining to these things. Then, when the visitor comes to read your content, they are more likely to click on your ads.

• Sites where people who have disposable income and a credit card like to visit. This includes sites with money management, investing and lifestyle content.

• Sites that draw a large amount of new users every day. Free coupon sites and “How to” sites are good examples.
• Sites where people go who expect to read ads. Classified ads and shopping comparison sites fit into this category.

2. Make sure that your visitors don’t feel that you just want to grab their money

Give them plenty of relevant and well-written content. If writing isn’t your best skill then hire someone to do it for you. Good content brings steady traffic and steady traffic pays the bills.

3. Play by the rules

Google has some very specific Terms of Service (https://www.google.com/adsense/policies) for participating in their AdSense program. Learn those rules and follow them so you don’t lose all of your investment by getting shut out.

4. Use the tools that Google gives you

Google gives you tools for determining the best keywords for your site, measuring ad performance, and setting up different ad “channels” for fine-tuning ad results. These guys and girls are the 800 lb. Gorillas in the Pay-Per-Click market. They didn’t build these tools just to keep their programmers busy. Take advantage of their knowledge for they are very big and you are not!

5. Tweak, fine-tune and then tweak again

You should never be happy with your AdSense performance. If it’s good, then you need to make it great. If it’s great then you need to make it amazing. If it’s amazing then you need to take it to the UPS club. The UPS club? Google sends all checks over $10,000 per month to the webmaster via UPS overnight delivery. Now there’s a club that I wouldn’t mind belonging to.

6. Get more traffic

No matter how much traffic you have, you need more. More eyeballs translate to more clicks. Even if you’re only pulling a 2% click-through. That’s a lot of clicks when you have thousands of visitors each day.

7. Experiment with new keywords

New keywords can bring new ads and new eyeballs along with it. Set up some new pages on your site and experiment with different content. Once you get something that’s working then refer back to Tip # 5.

You can see results in near real time when you use Google’s AdWords. Don’t be afraid to be different. If something that everyone else is doing doesn’t work for you, then invent something that does work and get it on your site.

My website needed more targeted traffic. Guess where I found it?

2008-12-17T06:33:00.000-08:00

targeted traffic - My website needed more targeted traffic. Guess where I found it?
by: Brian McGregor
There’s nothing new about using joint ventures (JV's) to get traffic to websites. And good information is freely available from many internet marketing sites on how to set up JVs.

This article is for the 97% of webmasters who aren’t aware of a particularly powerful JV partner who already exists, and is willing to work with you.

Before I reveal all, let me just check...

Like me, I would image you’d be happy if:

* Your JV partner’s site gets huge traffic.
* The vast majority of page views are by targeted traffic.
* You can create links wherever YOU like from their site.
* You can start now. There’s no delay in setting up the JV.
* The JV continues as long as you want.
* It costs you pennies to set up and run.

Does that sound like it’s what you’re looking for in a JV?

If so, welcome to eBay. You’re new joint venture partner.

But I Thought...

"eBay?" I hear you ask, "Isn’t eBay just an auction site?"

Well, it certainly started as an auction site. Today, eBay is an ecommerce phenomenon.

* eBay’s 1.5 billion page views puts it in sixth place on Alexa traffic rankings. Ahead of Amazon, AOL and CNN.
* eBay members make 79 million targeted searches for items each day.
* There are 35,000 categories within which to place items for sale.
* There are eBay auction sites in 27 countries.
* eBay has 125 million registered users.
* 40,000 new members join eBay each day.

What we have here is a hugely successful internet business with massive traffic. And, thanks to eBay’s sophisticated categorization and searching mechanisms, the traffic is totally targeted.

More importantly, there are several smart ways to drive eBay’s targeted traffic to your own website. All of these clever methods add up to what I call the eBay Traffic Funnel.

Does it work? Well, I sell a communications product from my website. I run 5 simple auctions in the appropriate categories using the principles of the eBay Traffic Funnel. Each auction costs me 30 cents and runs for a week. I get around 300 targeted leads from these auctions to my website every week. Not bad for one dollar fifty!

Let me show you just one of the ways to get hold of that targeted traffic...

Sell, Sell, Sell

First of all, you make eBay part of your marketing mix. You start selling your products on eBay.

Why do I say this? Well, eBay isn’t just for mom and pop businesses anymore. IBM, Disney, Motorola, Xerox and Dell, are just a few of the major corporates that now use eBay as an additional sales and lead generation channel.

Creating eBay auctions is easy. Anyone can do it - literally. But if you don’t want to learn, you can use a Trading Assistant. These are eBay experts who will create, run and manage auctions on behalf of others for a percentage of sales or a small fee.

When you set up your auction one of the decisions you make is in which category to place your item. This is important. Visitors to your auction page - just by being there - have self qualified themselves as being in the market to buy products in that category. This is targeting in real time.

But merely creating the auction isn’t the trick. Here’s the key tip. In your auction page, make sure you tell your viewers that if they’ve any questions about your auction, your products or your policies, they should email you. And encourage them to do this by having a live email link in your auction, like this one brian@more-auction-sales.com

As soon as they make contact with you, you’ve acquired a targeted lead you wouldn’t have got any other way. You can start building a relationship. You can get them on your list, direct them to your website and start selling to them.

Pieces of Eight

I’ve only the space to show you one way in which you can direct your share of eBay’s targeted traffic to your website. There are eight ways in total. If you want to know the other seven, you’ll find them in my free ebook ‘The eBay Traffic Funnel’. You can get this here: http://www.more-auction-sales.com/websites

Setting up a JV with eBay can produce significant results. There isn’t another business on the web that gives you access to the targeted traffic eBay supplies for the price of a few pennies. Best of all, 97% of webmasters have yet to realize the power of this. The opportunity for you and your website is there for the taking.

Adsense Trick for Attracting Higher Paying AdSense Ads

2008-12-17T06:22:00.000-08:00

by: Diane Nassy

There are no guarantees in life, so I don’t guarantee that following these tips will bring you more money every time. However, I do guarantee that they will greatly increase your chances of pulling more of the top-paying AdSense ads to your site than if you don’t follow these suggestions.

Enough with the disclaimers, let’s get down to the business of making money. Google lets advertisers bid anywhere from a minimum of .05 per click right up to a whopping $100. It should be pretty obvious that you’re not going to get rich running .05 cent ads on your site, but getting a few $100 ads, or even some $10, $20, or $30 ads can’t be a bad thing, right?

Now the problem is, Google is pretty closed-mouthed about who is paying what for their ads, and there is no real way to determine which words pay the most per AdSense click.

But ah, far away in a parallel universe we find another Pay-Per-Click provider called Overture. It seems that Overture is less sensitive about releasing their top-priced words and anyone who cares to find out what web sites are paying for words and phrases can do so by simply using Overtures tattle-tale special pricing tool (http://www.pixelfast.com/overture/). And it couldn’t be easier to use. You simply type in a key word or phrase and the tool returns a list of advertisers using that word and how much they are paying. It even shows you the actual ad.

Oh what a treasure trove of wealth-grabbing results this can be if you know what can be done with that priceless information.

Consider this possibility

Any key word or phrase that’s worth big bucks on Overture is probably worth big bucks on Google as well, maybe even more, right? So try this experiment:

Enter the phrase “SEO Services” without the quotes in the Overture tool (http://www.pixelfast.com/overture/). When I entered that phrase on the day I wrote this article, I was found a company called SEO Inc. that was willing to pay $8.01 per click, followed by SEO Advantage at $8.00, and Online Web Consultants at $6.50. Other bidders appeared below them in the $3.00 range straight on down to some who wouldn’t pay more than a dime per click.

Now, if a company is willing to pay that much money for a click on Overture, it is probably willing to pay that or more on Google. Even if that particular company isn’t advertising on Google, you can be pretty sure that the same key phrase is drawing near the same bid price from other companies who do advertise on Google. So what that means is there is no way that you can possibly afford NOT to have some web pages posted somewhere that are targeted to those sweet-paying words.

All you have to do is use Overture’s pricing tool to find the highest-paying key words that are related to your site and then optimize those words to start pulling similar ads. If all goes to plan, you can perhaps double, triple, or even quadruple your AdSense revenue without needing any increase in traffic or click-through rate.

Adsense trick - Best Adsense Template Format

When it comes to building a site for Adsense, many webmasters ask themselves what is the best adsense template format to use. In this article, I will share some tips that will help you build the best adsense template which you will be able to use for every adsense sites afterward.

The best adsense template format will be very simple. It will include a minimum of navigation, so the visitor is mostly directed to the Adsense ads blocks.

The template format will also be built with a maximum of three different colours, so the eyes are not too distracted from the content. Try to use minimal graphics, they are not necessary.

If you want to build the best adsense template format, you will include the Adsense square block in the articles on each pages, because this way the visitor will think it is an internal link and it will increase your overall clickthrough. You can place the ads right under the title of the article, or in between two paragraphs.

Personally, I often use the navigation on the left side, and include an Adlink block similar to my site navigation.

If you follow these simple tips and practice a bit, you will end up with the best adsense template format for all your Adsense sites!

ADSENSE TRICK - traffic generation

by: Ron Hutton

If you're feeling a bit of confusion and frustration about how to get visitors to your website and generate more sales, I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way until I stopped listening to every "big time" marketer that came along with the latest traffic generating trick.

You've got dozens of gurus vying for your attention and every one of them has the solution to all of your problems. Right? The proliferation of messages that promise a traffic explosion using new techniques can become overwhelming.

Time out.

Take a deep breath.

Sit back in your chair.

Relax.

Now, if you will focus your energy on a very short list of traffic generation strategies that actually DO work, and commit to continually improving your skills in these few areas, you will be amazed at what you can achieve... WILL achieve.

Websites come in a wide variety of flavors, including...
- Minisites designed to sell individual products
- Portal sites designed to sell a broad selection of products
- Content sites designed to provide information

Of the above site species (minisites, portal sites and content sites), which do you think has the best chance of selling a product and putting income in your bank account?

ANSWER: Minisites.

Let's talk about web traffic.

Imagine 5 different internet users going to Google, MSN, Yahoo or whatever their favorite search engine happened to be, and each individual enters one of the following search queries:

Search #1: hazards

Search #2: household hazards

Search #3: chemical household hazards

Search #4: chemical household hazards for infants

Search #5: protecting infants from chemical household hazards

If you had a website that sold a device that guaranteed the safety of infants by locking cabinets containing hazardous household chemicals, which of the above visitors do you think would be most likely to buy what you're selling? I know. I hear you. "That's pretty obvious, Ron."

We want internet user #5 most. We may also want #3 and #4. Do we want #1 and #2? Maybe... Maybe not. The answer to that is going to depend on what it takes to get them to our site. But before we attempt to answer that question, HERE'S SOMETHING CRITICAL...

My Question to You: "If you were assured that you could get visitor #5 to your website, where would you send them?"

Let's say that your website had a variety of home safety products available. You sell everything from fire extinguishers to first aid kits to carbon monoxide detectors to child safe locks.

Your site's home page has just a little bit of information on each of your home safety product lines. Would you send visitor #5 to your home page?

Or...

Since visitor #5 just did a search for "protecting infants from chemical household hazards", would you have better results by sending them directly and immediately to the web page where they can order your device that guarantees the safety of their child from chemical household hazards?

Please don't think that I'm trying to insult your intelligence. I'm not. It's just that I have received correspondence from other direct marketers online concerned about the low sales of their websites only to find out that whenever that person sent traffic to their site, the traffic was going to their home page rather than to a page that spoke directly to the needs and desires of the visitor.

Alrighty then? Traffic time.

There are only 3 ways to get traffic to your website:
1) Buy it.
2) Borrow it.
3) Steal it.

Since #3 is not an option we're going to consider, that leaves us with "buy it" and "borrow it".

Before we go any further, let's talk about the "Holy Grail" of web traffic. What is it? FREE TRAFFIC! I want it. You want it. Every disillusioned internet marketer wants it.

Here's the truth...

It's a myth.

It doesn't exist.

There is no such thing as free website traffic.

"Ya but Ron, what if I could be #1 in Google for 'Internet Marketing' or 'Website Tools'?"

If you were able to get there or anywhere close, what would be required? What investment in time and resources would be required to land a prized spot such as this? Would you be able to get there for free? Furthermore, how long would you stay there?

Let's face it, neither Google, Yahoo, Altavista nor MSN wants any individual to be able to control the results of their search engines. That's why they spend millions upon millions of dollars every year taking steps to ensure that nobody has the knowledge to control all of the top positions.

Is search engine positioning something to aspire to? Perhaps. Given time. But it will not put any money in your pocket in the short term. That's pretty well guaranteed.

There are only 2 ways to get traffic to your website:
1) Buy it.
2) Borrow it.

Buy it? Yes, buy it. We're not talking about fortunes changing hands. There's no need to take out a second or third mortgage on you home to use this strategy. Traffic can be generated to your site for literally pennies per visitor.

Where will you buy traffic to your website? PPC Search Engines. PPC ("Pay Per Click") search engines give you the best opportunity to find the most motivated buyers and get them to visit your website. This is what you should be considering for your primary method of generating traffic to your website.

Remember above where we considered searcher #1 - searcher #5? We want searcher number five on our website, right? Right. We can and will find searcher #5 on the PPC search engines if we take the right approach. In a little bit I'll give you a list of PPC search engines to consider using, but first let's formulate a game plan.

Here's the basics of PPC advertising:

1) We have a product to sell.

2) We determine what the product has to offer and why someone might want to buy our product. (hint: focus on benefits, not features)

3) We do some keyword research to see if people are out there actually looking for the solution that our product offers.

4) Assuming that there's sufficient demand for our product /solution, we make a list of the keywords and keyword phrases that people are actually using to conduct their searches.

5) We write an ad for our product in such a way that it gets the attention of the searcher. This may mean changing ad copy slightly from one keyword phrase to the next. Try to put yourself in the position of the person doing the search.

6) We bid on the keywords that we're targeting with the ad that we've written and...

Wa-la! Traffic.

Is this a viable option? Absolutely. Google Adwords ads can be had for as little as $0.05 per click. Overture traffic can be had for as little as $0.10 per click.

If you're selling a product for $19.95, how many clicks can you buy and still be profitable? One sale out of 199 clicks and you're profitable. At this rate you only made a nickel, but that was at a conversion rate of only 0.5%! What if you had a conversion rate of 3%? 3% (3 visitors out of 100 become customers) doesn't sound like too much does it?

If you did indeed have a 3% conversion rate on a $19.95 product and were able to buy traffic for $0.10 per visitor, here's how the math works:

100 visitors cost you $10.00

3 visitors became customers and spent a total of $59.85.

Subtract your $10.00 advertising cost from your $59.85 revenue, and you have profited $49.85 (or somewhere close after PayPal or other selling fees).

So now, how much can you afford to spend on traffic?

If you've been running the above advertising campaign long enough to feel confident that a 3% conversion ratio is something that you can count on, then do the math backwards.

Your net profit is $49.85 for 100 visitors. Therefore, your "per visitor" value is $0.50 (I'm rounding up very slightly). Knowing this is a huge advantage.

Can you find more visitors to your site for $0.20, $0.30 or even $0.40? Of course you can, and it will still be profitable! Obviously, the less you spend on advertising, the more you keep. But if you could find a source of automatic traffic that you knew was profitable, wouldn't you buy as much as you could find?

This is exciting stuff! PPC traffic can work for you. Yes, there's a little bit of a learning curve, but that's true with anything new that you do.

Here's a list of PPC Search Engines that you should consider starting with:

Google AdWords (http://www.adwords.google.com)
Overture (http://www.overture.com)
FindWhat (http://www.findwhat.com)
Enhance Interactive (http://www.enhance.com)
GoClick (http://www.goclick.com)
7Search (http://www.7search.com)
Kanoodle (http://www.kanoodle.com)
ePilot (http://www.ePilot.com)
Search123 (http://www.search123.com)
SearchFeed Interactive (http://www.searchfeed.com)
eSpotting (http://www.espotting.com)
Xuppa (http://www.xuppa.com)

There are only 2 ways to get traffic to your website:
1) Buy it.
2) Borrow it.

In part 2 of this series, we'll continue our thoughts on "(1) Buy it" - traffic that is.

This is what you should be considering for your primary method of generating traffic to your website.

Remember above where we considered searcher #1 - searcher #5? We want searcher number five on our website, right? Right. We can and will find searcher #5 on the PPC search engines if we take the right approach. In a little bit I'll give you a list of PPC search engines to consider using, but first let's formulate a game plan.

Here's the basics of PPC advertising:

1) We have a product to sell.

2) We determine what the product has to offer and why someone might want to buy our product. (hint: focus on benefits, not features)

3) We do some keyword research to see if people are out there actually looking for the solution that our product offers.

4) Assuming that there's sufficient demand for our product /solution, we make a list of the keywords and keyword phrases that people are actually using to conduct their searches.

5) We write an ad for our product in such a way that it gets the attention of the searcher. This may mean changing ad copy slightly from one keyword phrase to the next. Try to put yourself in the position of the person doing the search.

6) We bid on the keywords that we're targeting with the ad that we've written and...

Wa-la! Traffic.

Is this a viable option? Absolutely. Google Adwords ads can be had for as little as $0.05 per click. Overture traffic can be had for as little as $0.10 per click.

If you're selling a product for $19.95, how many clicks can you buy and still be profitable? One sale out of 199 clicks and you're profitable. At this rate you only made a nickel, but that was at a conversion rate of only 0.5%! What if you had a conversion rate of 3%? 3% (3 visitors out of 100 become customers) doesn't sound like too much does it?

If you did indeed have a 3% conversion rate on a $19.95 product and were able to buy traffic for $0.10 per visitor, here's how the math works:

100 visitors cost you $10.00

3 visitors became customers and spent a total of $59.85.

Subtract your $10.00 advertising cost from your $59.85 revenue, and you have profited $49.85 (or somewhere close after PayPal or other selling fees).

So now, how much can you afford to spend on traffic?

If you've been running the above advertising campaign long enough to feel confident that a 3% conversion ratio is something that you can count on, then do the math backwards.

Your net profit is $49.85 for 100 visitors. Therefore, your "per visitor" value is $0.50 (I'm rounding up very slightly). Knowing this is a huge advantage.

Can you find more visitors to your site for $0.20, $0.30 or even $0.40? Of course you can, and it will still be profitable! Obviously, the less you spend on advertising, the more you keep. But if you could find a source of automatic traffic that you knew was profitable, wouldn't you buy as much as you could find?

This is exciting stuff! PPC traffic can work for you. Yes, there's a little bit of a learning curve, but that's true with anything new that you do.

Here's a list of PPC Search Engines that you should consider starting with:

Google AdWords (http://www.adwords.google.com)
Overture (http://www.overture.com)
FindWhat (http://www.findwhat.com)
Enhance Interactive (http://www.enhance.com)
GoClick (http://www.goclick.com)
7Search (http://www.7search.com)
Kanoodle (http://www.kanoodle.com)
ePilot (http://www.ePilot.com)
Search123 (http://www.search123.com)
SearchFeed Interactive (http://www.searchfeed.com)
eSpotting (http://www.espotting.com)
Xuppa (http://www.xuppa.com)

There are only 2 ways to get traffic to your website:
1) Buy it.
2) Borrow it.

In part 2 of this series, we'll continue our thoughts on "(1) Buy it" - traffic that is.

Making Money With Your 1st Or 50th Website Using Google Adsense

2008-11-02T13:49:00.000-08:00

If you are just starting online with your first website, you have quite a learning curve in front of you. I know that your learning curve is still long, because I have been making money online for years, and I am still learning new stuff everyday.

Every year, more people are coming online. And every year, people struggle to figure out how to tap into the economic engine powered by the Internet. The one thing that newcomers to the Internet frequently fail to realize is that those of us, who are making the most money online, spent years learning our trades.

The good news is that Internet newcomers have one major advantage that my mentors and myself did not have when we started our online enterprises. The newcomers have people like us who are willing to teach others what they have learned.

First And Most Important Lesson To Learn

There are three kinds of commercial websites on the Internet: product/service merchants, advertising providers, and non-profit websites.

Now, the Red Cross and the United Way are non-profit websites by choice and mission. But, the majority of non-profit websites on the Internet were designed to be for-profit websites, but the website owner will have been lucky to have earned enough to pay their web hosting costs.

By the end of this article, I hope that I will have provided you enough information to be able to turn any non-profit website into a profit generating machine.

Merchants sell services. They also sell products made by others or themselves. Some merchants produce their own informational books and e-books, on a wide variety of topics.

Many people make the mistake of assuming that they do not know anything of value that other people would want to know. But, that just isn't true. Call me an optimist if you will, but I believe everyone knows something that other people would be willing to pay a certain amount of money to learn.

Ii is a fact that some of the smartest online entrepreneurs I know make a lot of money by writing and selling books and e-books, on topics ranging from cryptograms (http://www.cryptogramsbylouise.com/), to how-to cure acid reflux (http://www.refluxgoneforever.com/), to finding the hero within (http://www.herosoul.com/), to how to be more successful with an online business.

I have bought many e-books and I have to say that some were better than others, but all of them helped me to learn what I needed to know in order to be successful with whatever endeavor I was undertaking.

Advertising Providers build websites with the intent of attracting a huge and loyal audience, so that advertisers will consider their website to be a good place to spend their advertising dollars.

In those dark days before Google Adsense (http://adsense.Google.com) and Yahoo's Publisher Network (http://publisher.yahoo.com/), we little guys were just tough out-of-luck if we wanted to sell our advertising space through a larger network of advertisers.

I remember having a website that was finally serving one thousand unique page views per day, or 30,000 page views per month. I remember thinking that it was time for me to see whom I could sell advertising space. So, I started doing my research.

I looked at one advertising network, and then another, and another. Without fail, most advertising networks required one million page views per month in order for a website to participate in their network. I was just poop out of luck.

So, I started advertising space on my site to my visitors. I sold some advertising, but I did not make a living doing it. The main issue here is that the people on my site are looking to learn about travel and other things, and advertisers generally spend their time on sites learning about doing business online.

Then in 2003, it all changed with the rollout of Google Adsense. Suddenly, all I needed to do was to apply to participate in Google's program. On approval, I could add one little piece of javascript code to my website, and I could start earning money from Google immediately, by making their client's advertising available on my own website.

Finally, my information website had a method for earning money that did not require for me to spend all of my waking hours chasing one sale after another.

Some Background

When I started my first online business, I had set up an Yahoo store (http://www.yahoo.com). I did very well with it, but after a couple years, I realized that I did not want to keep doing the same thing for the rest of my life.

Three rooms of my home were committed to storing merchandise that I was buying for resale. When I made a product purchase, I had to take photos and then sit down to my computer, upload the image and make an appropriate product description. Then I had to spend all of my spare time, making new listings at Yahoo and running to the post office to ship the merchandise I had sold.

One day I realized that the reason I had started my business is to provide my family a better standard of living. I had accomplished that goal, at the cost of time with my family. I was literally working from the moment I got out of bed, until I collapsed into my bed at the end of the day.

After parting ways with Yahoo, I researched other profit models and settled on a membership site. In order to be successful with a membership website, one must be willing and able to add new good quality content to the website at least three or four times per week. That is a job in itself.

While my membership site did well monetarily, I found myself in a position similar to when I had my Yahoo store. I was spending all of my spare time with my business and not my family.

Finally, I Wrapped My Head Around The Solution

What I needed for myself was a website where I could sell other people's products and services, then let the other person handle the entire process of collecting the money and delivering the product or service. I needed to build my business in such a way that I could build my website, when I wanted to invest the time, and I could collect my checks at the end of the month.

The advertising website is the best kind of site to have when your goals are the same as mine.

So, I embarked on building a website that had information on a wide variety of topics.

Three years after I started my current website, Google launched their Adsense program. I applied to Google's Adsense program and was accepted within just a few days. I then applied my Google Adsense code to my website.

Over the years, I have been building links to my website so that people could find me. The articles and directory links have produced good traffic results for me on a consistent basis, since I started the process of building them.

The Next Lesson Can Literally Double And Triple Your Income

When you undertake to design a website that will host advertising, don't be shy about it!

• Don't stick your advertising in a corner somewhere; • Don't design your advertising to look like something other than an advertisement; • Don't be afraid to test your advertising placement; • Don't be afraid to tell people that they can buy advertising on your website; • Don't be afraid to charge good money to advertisers to have a placement on your website.

Don't be afraid and don't be shy. Your reason for putting advertising on your website is to give YOU a way to make money from your work. But, in order to keep your advertisers happy, you need to make sure that they get a good return for their investment.

When you can help your advertisers make money, then you will by extension earn money from your website. It is a beautiful concept; when I help put money in my advertiser's pockets, they put money in my pocket.

Specific Tips To Maximize Your Advertising Click-Through Rates (CTRs)

The default link color on the Internet is blue; so make the links in your advertising blue.

The default text color on the Internet is black; so make the text in your advertisement black or whatever color is the default text color on your website.

Make your advertisement block stand out from the rest of the content on the page. Putting your ads directly in your visitor's face is good. Within a text block, I have found the 300x250 to be the most effective ad block size. To see an example of the 300x250 text block in action, view my blog here: http://www.clintondouglasiv.com

Other ad block sizes that we have seen good results include: the 728x90 leaderboard, 468x60 banner, and the160x600 wide skyscraper.

Be The Next Advertising Success Story

I advised a friend of mine to make these kinds of changes on his own website. He already had great traffic, but he was not making as much money as I thought he should be making.

On my suggestion, he changed his Google ads from the bottom of his left sidebar to the main part of his pages. He told me that his CTR increased from 0.8% to 2.4%. I told him to change his ads from the 468x15 link unit to the 468x60 banner ad. He told me that his CTR increased from 2.4% to 4.7%. Then I told him to change his links from black to blue. Within just a few weeks, he reported back to me that his click-through rates jumped again, this time from 4.7% to 7.8%. He even reported that on some individual days, his new layout generated as high as 11.4% CTRs.

On my friend's website, his CTR jumped from 0.8% where it had been for a couple years, since he started using Google Adsense, to 7.8% on average. While most webmasters will see an average increase of two- to three-times, my friend has experienced a nearly tenfold (+9.75%) increase in his advertising revenue through that website.

What could you do with ten times more advertising revenue from your website? You will never know until you implement these kinds of changes on your website to increase your own advertising revenue.

Improve Your Google AdSense Ad Relevancy with Section Targeting

2008-11-02T13:46:00.001-08:00

A little known method to increase the relevancy of AdSense's ads on your site without modifying your content visually is by forcing AdSense to focus on or ignoring certain sections. This is called "section targeting."

Section targeting allows you to suggest sections of your text and HTML content that you'd like Google AdSense to emphasize or downplay when matching ads to your site's content. By providing Google AdSense with your suggestions, you can assist Google AdSense in improving your ad targeting. Although implementation is easy, I recommend that only those familiar with HTML attempt to implement section targeting.

To implement section targeting, you'll need to add a set of special HTML comment tags to your code. These tags will mark the beginning and end of whichever section(s) you'd like to emphasize or de-emphasize for ad targeting.

The HTML tags to emphasize a page section take the following format:

google_ad_section_start

google_ad_section_end
You can also designate sections you'd like to have ignored by adding a (weight=ignore) to the starting tag:

google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore)
With these tags added to your HTML code, your final code may look like the following:

Irrelevant text here

google_ad_section_start

This is the most important content of your webpage. You prefer Ads being shown related to this content.

Other irrelevant or low-paying keyword-content here

You can use section targeting to make suggestions about as many sections of a page as you like. However, please be aware that Google AdSense can't guarantee results, and that it may take up to 2 weeks before Google's crawlers take any changes you've made to your site into account.

In order to properly implement this feature, you'll need to include a significant amount of content within the section targeting tags. Including insufficient content may result in less relevant ads or Public Service Ads. In addition, please keep in mind that this feature should only be used to emphasize significant sections of your site's relevant content. It is against Google AdSense's program policies to manipulate the ad targeting to result in ads that are not relevant to the content of your pages.

So the bottom line is to use section targeting wisely. This means you do not wrap a single sentence or even a medium-sized paragraph in section targeting tags.

One real-life example that I've used myself in the past is ignoring menus. NOTE that Google AdSense ignoring your menus does NOT mean Google's Crawler will so no worries there. I had a menu section with links to articles on a huge variety of topics. Most topics were totally unrelated to the specific page / article. Since I wanted ads to be relevant to the currently viewed article, I wrapped my menu in ignore tags and wrapped my article in ad_section targeting tags. After a few weeks, my Google AdSense ads did become much more relevant and I didn't see the random ads that were related to the topics in my menu anymore!

Tips to Get a Google Adsense Account

2008-11-02T13:44:00.000-08:00

To whom it may not familiar with Adsense, It is a Google’s marketing program which allows website/blog owners to generate income from displaying relevant Google ads on their websites. AdSense matches the content of the website to ads within their AdWords program and displays the relevant ads on the website. The website owners will get income from their website visitors clicking the ads. And there are some success stories from people who profiting and earning thousand dollars from Google Adsense

So how you can get those kinds of ads displayed in your website? Basically you have to register you website/blog and get Google’s approval. But unfortunately not every request will get approved. I have a tip for you based on my experience obtaining approval from Google in my first try, here are the steps:

1. Set up your blog with www.blogspot.com. Blogspot is a Google own blogging service. Make a certain theme for your blog and make sure that the theme is a marketable theme.

2. Put several relevant contents to your blog. Google loves contents! If you choose “health” as your theme, then you can write anything about health. But let me remind you, you have to write them in English. If you think you can’t write and not really confident with your English, don’t worry about that. You can find relevant contents in free articles directory such GoArticles.com and Ezinearticles.com but don’t delete the author names and their links (usually available at the bottom of the articles). Don’t take credit on their works.

3. If you have put some relevant contents, wait about two or three days. When you edit the layout or format of your blog, it will appear an offer from Google to apply for Google Adsense account. If the offer does not appear, just visit www.google.com/adsense and register there.

Believe me, your Adsense account approval will send to your email address in several days and start make money with Google Adsense.

How to Increase Your Google Adsense CTR

2008-10-13T06:22:00.000-07:00

This is the first part of two series of articles about How to Increase Your Google Adsense CTR. Many people think that they just have to copy and paste Google Adsense code into their website and start earning a huge amount of money from it. What a huge mistake! I also thought the same way two years ago. Later I realized that without optimization, that's impossible. Here I will share all of the tricks to increase my Google Adsense CTR that I found within the last two years.

Here are some tips to increase your Google Adsense CTR:
Make sure the ads that are appearing on your site are closely related with your content. This is the first thing you have to do because if your ads are not relevant, there's small possibility that people will click on them. Then, what should you do to tackle this problem? Here are the tips:

Create a keyword rich content.
I suggest you creating one topic a page. Check your keyword rich content and then mark some of your keywords as bold or italic. But don't do it too much, just do it 1 â€“ 2 times per page. Otherwise, Google assumes you are doing spamming.
Use your keyword in your page title.

Use HTML Tag H1 as your content title, and put your keyword in it. Don't forget to place this tag at the beginning of your content.

If all those tips still do not work, there is just one possibility: there are no ads that matched with your keyword! You can check this out by using this marvelous tool from the Digital Point Website. It is called the Google Adsense Sandbox, and located in http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/Adsense-sandbox/

You'll be asked to enter your selected keyword and it will display every Adsense ads that's connected with that keyword. What if your suspicion is correct? Change your keyword! Do not worry; sometimes you just have to change one or two words.

Use wide ads (336x280, 300x250 or 250x250). Because these are the best performing ads.

Blend your ads with your website themes. For example, if your background color is white, change your ads border and background color to white as well. If your background color is dark (black), use bright color such as yellow as link color. This will decrease user ad-blindness.

Place your Google Adsense in these positions:
Above the fold
Above the fold is the top position of your page that's visible without your visitor having to scroll down. This is the best location that works for me. I place 336x280 ad unit in this location and it works very well. Why? Okay, back to our example. Your article is about "how to bake delicious bread". Someone finds it from search engine; when he opens it, he first sees ads about "baking school", "baking book" or "bread recipes". Who won't be interested?
In the middle of an article.
This works well if your article is long (more than 500 words). People tend to stop for a while and look for something different while they read. I suggest using rectangular ads (125x125, 180x150, 300x250, 336x280, 250x250 ad unit) for this purpose and make it left justified.
At the end of an article.
Many people reported that placing Google Adsense ads at the end of their article tends to work very well. This is because when people finish reading an interesting article, they usually think "okay, what's next?" That's your chance! By placing Google Adsense ads at the end of this article, people will spend a minute to read it and then (maybe) click it. For example, you write an article about "how to bake delicious bread". And at the end of it, there are some ads about "bread recipes". Who won't be interested?

Regarding the fourth tip, I don't recommend you placing three ad units in a single page. From my experience, the number of ad unit you place in a single page doesn't affect your CTR. In fact, I even found that placing three text ads in a single page make my ads "unblended". For example, I put 160x600, 468x60 and 336x280 ads on a single page. You know what? My 468x60 ads only showed 3 ads in it, whereas my 336x280 ads only showed 2 ads in it! My suggestion is: use 1 â€“ 2 ad unit and a single link unit on your page (Google allows 3 ad unit and 1 link unit to be placed on a single page).

Always use Link Unit! Many people never realize that Link Unit is the most profitable format if put in the right place. Try to place it near your navigation menu. People will misidentify it as a navigation menu and automatically read it. If your ads are closely relevant to your content, there's big possibility they will click it. I move the top navigation in one of my websites to the bottom section and replace it with 728x15 Link Unit Ads. You know what? My Google Adsense CTR increased by 200%!

How Much Does Your Google Adsense Really Make

2008-10-13T06:16:00.000-07:00

Since its introduction in 2003, the Google Adsense program has greatly help bloggers defray hosting charges and other costs related to running blogs. Blogging can be very expensive especially when you have high levels of traffic and numerous pages. Many are turning to Google Adsense to generate some revenue from their blogs and whatâ€™s more, earn some extra on the side.

What Google Adsense Is
Adsense is an advertising program run by Internet giant Google. Google Adsense allows you (blog owner) to sell advertising space on your blog. The program enables you to display relevant text and banner ads on your blogâ€™s content pages. Banner ads are the most common form of online advertising displayed at the top of many blog pages. Google pays you a fee when the visitor clicks on the ad.

When you join the Adsense program, you get access to Adsense for content which places ads on your content pages. Because the ads are targeted to what visitors are looking for on your blog or they match the interests of the visitors your content attracts, you earn and at the same time enhance your content pages. Google uses its vast search technology resources to serve ads based on blog content. In this regard, Adsense has become a popular choice for placing advertisements on a blog because the content of the ads is relevant to the blog. For example, ads for kitchen utensils will appear on a blog post about healthy cooking. Google has an extensive inventory of ads for all categories, business, practically for all kinds of content. If Google is unable to display targeted ads on your blog page, you can display a default ad of your choice.

A companion to the Adsense for content is the Adsense for search. It allows you to add a Google search box on your pages. This keeps the visitors on your blog longer since they can search from right on your blog. When a visitor searches the web using the search box, Google shares any ad revenue it makes from those searches with you and you shell nothing to participate.

Another recent addition is the Adsense for feeds. This runs on RSS and Atom feeds. RSS and Atom feeds are standards for publishing regular updates to blog-based content. Ads are displayed in the most suitable feed articles. You are paid for your blogâ€™s original content; visitors see appropriate advertising and more relevant feeds to choose from.

How to Join
There is no rigid criteria to conform to for acceptance into the Google Adsense program, unlike other online ad networks that place minimum traffic requirement to be accepted. The only real criterion is acceptable content. Of course, any ad program wants to attract quality content blogs only. Assuming you already have a blog on which you can include Adsense links, you first need to be accepted into the program. The first step is to go to http://www.google.com/adsense to sign up. Google will review your blog to find out if you have the necessary traffic and the content that would bring in sufficient clicks to make your taking part in the program beneficial to Google and to you.

Once you are accepted, all you need is a bit of javascript code to incorporate the advertisements into the accepted blog site. Google does the rest like providing appropriate ad links from its inventory of clients to your blog. Targeted ads will start showing up on your blog.

How It Works
There are two sides to Google advertising; one for advertisers selling a product or service called Adwords and Adsense for blog publishers. Advertisers pay Google to have their ads designed using Adwords appear next to the search page results in Google and a list of significant keywords for their offerings. Google will display an ad only if the provided keywords conform to a visitor search. An advertiser pays Google on a cost per click (CPC) basis. This means an advertiser pays only for that ad if the visitor clicks on the ad and visits the advertiserâ€™s site. Advertisers compete with one another to buy search keywords usually from five cents and above. Nevertheless, Google also takes into consideration the search engine ranking of the advertiser blog, so no one site can just buy keywords. For example, a purchase of the keywords digital camera produces ads next to Google search result in its home page. Said purchase also shows Adsense ads for digital cameras on other blogs where digital cameras are mentioned.

For their part, blog publishers using Adsense create relevant pages. Google sends out Mediabots (digital robots) which use special algorithms to crawl the host blog page and evaluate the content to determine what keywords are relevant and report the result to Googleâ€™s ad server which then serves the appropriate ads. Blog publishers get paid a percentage of the fee that Google receives from the advertiser. This is done through a combination of a pay per click (PPC) and pay per impression basis. Impression is the number of times a specific ad has been displayed. A blog publisher is reimbursed at a fixed rate per thousand impressions. If a page isn't significant enough, a blog publisher doesn't get paid as much. There is no charge for the blog publisher to join Adsense. All costs are covered by the advertiser who participates in Adwords.

How Much Money It Makes
The amount of money you (blog publisher) can expect from Google Adsense depends upon several factors. If your blog draws tons of traffic and you focus on a particular niche, Google will serve ads that appeal to visitors of your site. For instance, if you maintain a popular blog devoted to portable media player, you can make a windfall because of the high level of competition for related keywords. Rates for competitive keywords can exceed $1 which impacts your blogâ€™s earning potential. Conversely, if you are in a less competitive niche, you get occasional traffic only, thus less visitors click on your ads which equates to less money earned.

How much each advertisement pays per generated click is also another important factor. Each Adsense ad is not worth the same. An ad may give you ten cents while another may give you $1 per click. It depends on the demand for that kind of ad. If a number of advertisers are bidding for the same advertising space, the advertiser offering the most per click will get their ad displayed first.

Ad formats and placements influence revenue. Placing ads on the right part of the blog page is significant so that visitors looking at your page will see the ad, at the same time it will be not be overly intrusive to put visitors off.

Fundamentally though, it is all about content. To make money from Adsense, you have to know what your visitors are looking for. It may be information on a topic, a product they want to buy or a service they want to avail of and entertainment. Offering visitors good content will generate highly relevant ads which in turn will draw more clicks on the ads displayed. To optimize content, the same basic rules for search engine optimization apply.

Google doesn't publish the percentage it takes as a commission and only displays what the blog owner receives in member reports. However, you can make a rough estimate. The average click through rate (CTR) for online advertising is generally around 0.5 to 1%. CTR is the rate at which visitors click an advertisement usually calculated as a percentage of ad impressions (number of times a specific ad has been displayed). What each click pays is dependent on the content and keywords that are generating the ads being served.

Although Google doesn't release the amount it pays for keywords, you can sign up as an advertiser on top of being a participant in the Adsense program for $5 and see for yourself how much advertisers are paying Google for various click through. For example, a thousand page views with Google ads on them per day, at 1% click through rate and 25 cents per click will yield $2.50 per day. Not a lot but it can cover hosting fees or service fees.

Google Adsense is not a get rich quick program. But there are documented cases of bloggers earning as much as $5,000 a month and more. In fact, Jason Calacanis sold his blog network, Weblogs Inc. for a whopping $25 - $40 million on Google Adsense revenues of $1 million yearly. There isn't any sense why a blogger can't earn much from Google Adsense program. Definitely, there are thousands of dollars worth of reasons to make money from Google Adsense.

How to Avoid Having Your AdSense Accout Banned for Click Fraud

2008-10-13T06:11:00.000-07:00

If you trawl through the AdSense message boards you can't help but come across tales of woe from AdSense publishers that have had their account banned by Google.

Below is a list of ways people have been banned from AdSense and information on how to avoid it happening to you.

Don't click on your own ads
The obvious one but still people do it. Google has the IP address of the computer/s that you've used to create and check your AdSense account. If it sees that this IP address clicks one of your ads you're in trouble.

Don't do it. It's theft. Not from Google but from the AdWords advertisers.

If you want to go to a site advertised by one of your ads don't click on it look at the URL of the advertising site at the bottom of the ad and type it into your browser.

If you click on one accidentally (which does happen) you're probably be ok but it's worth dropping a quick email to Google with an explanation and apology.

Don't log in to AdSense from a shared computer.
As I said above Google keeps a record of every machine IP address used to look at your account. If you check your stats on a machine then someone else clicks on your ads from the same machine Google sees this as click fraud. Worth bearing in mind when thinking of checking your stats from somewhere like an Internet Cafe.

Don't log in to your AdSense account from work.

Apart from getting in trouble with the company that employs you thereâ€™s also a further real risk. Most companies use a proxy server to access the Internet. A proxy server with ONE IP ADDRESS. Therefore you checking your ads from work means this proxy IP address being recorded by Google as one that you use. Problem is if there are 1000 people in your company it is the same IP address for them too. Google canâ€™t differentiate between you and the other 999 employees in your company. If one of these 999 clicks on one of your ads itâ€™s ban time.

Don't get into "click your ads if you click mine agreement with another Webmaster".

As above Google will have your IP address and that of every AdSense publisher. If they see these IP addresses consistently clicking on each other ads it's goodbye for both of you.

Don't tell friends and family.
Telling friends and family about your money making websites can lead to problems. Even if you tell them not to click on your ads there's always the chance that Auntie Maud will think it's a good idea to make some extra money for her favourite nephew. 100 clicks later from the same visitor and your account is screaming Click Fraud.

Receiving clicks from illegal traffic
Check the AdSense TOS for sources of traffic that aren't allowed by Google. These include methods like Traffic exchange, PTC advertising, Auto surf etc.

Do monitor your visitor and AdSense figures
Check your account at least once a day. If you see a massive spike coupled with a massive increase in Page CTR investigate using your visitor stats website. If you see it all come from the same IP address you could have been the victim of a malicious attack, inform Google via email and offer them access to your logs.

Tips For Maximum Adsense Content Relevancy

2008-10-13T06:09:00.000-07:00

One of the most essential aspects of getting the most out of your involvement with Google Adsense program is to be certain that Google serves up the most relevant ads possible on your site. The concept is easy to grasp--visitors travel to your sites in search of certain content on their topic of interest. If they see advertisements directly related to those content desires, they are far more likely to click on the ads than if they encounter only tangentially related material or, in a worst case scenario, ads that are not even related to their interests. As such, it is in your best interests to make sure your site displays relevant ads. Here are few tips for improving your content relevancy to produce more accurately targeted contextual advertising from Adsense.

FIRST THINGS FIRST. Before you even begin to use Adsense as a monetization tool, make sure there are relevant ads for your site or pages. In most cases, you will have determined this long before you even embarked on site design or content development. However, if you are thinking of adding Adsense to an existing site built with other monetization strategies originally in mind, you may not have bothered checking to see if other advertisers were going after that particular market. Be sure you are addressing a topic for which ads exist in sufficient quantity. If related advertising is sparse, it will difficult to avoid irrelevant ads.

KEYWORDS MATTER. You do not want content that is overstuffed with particular keywords to point of destroying readability and value, but you do want to make sure your materials make liberal use of on-topic keywords likely to spawn the most relevant possible ads. Experts maintain that using keywords with your titles and H1 tags is an excellent way to assist in getting the most relevant possible ads. This has added advantages in terms of search engine optimization, as well.

METATAGS. Once upon a time, metatags were a critical aspect of search engine optimization in general. Although the engines rely upon metatags far less than they once did, there is some evidence to suggest that using ad-triggering keywords in your pagesâ€™ meta-tags may increase the relevance of the advertisements displayed. This strategy may help, and it certainly cannot hurt.

LOOK FOR LACKLUSTER CONTENT. Many sites to a great job of supplying content related to particular themes or keywords in the main portion of a page, but have sidebars, headers and footers filled with less targeted terms and material. Take a long look at your navigational elements and other â€œside of the pageâ€ text and remove keyword terminology that may be leading to irrelevant ad service. Alternatively, you can use Adsenseâ€™s section targeting tool to remove those areas from Adsenseâ€™s consideration completely, so long as you do not plan to display ad blocks or ad link units in those areas.

TIGHT THEMING. You want to keep content tightly themed. That means you do not want to feature long, rambling articles that cover multiple topics. Instead, rely upon materials that address singular issues. You also do not want to feature multiple chunks of content on disparate matters on the same page for that very same reason. The value of tight theming may extend past individual pages. Many publishers argue that Adsense tends to reward tightly-themed overall sites with more relevant ads, as well. Even though this aspect of theming is not as well researched and proven, it makes sense to follow the practice, because of the search engine optimization advantages of having a focused site.

BLOCK THE BAD ADS. Monitor your site regularly and take note when irrelevant ads appear. Then, take the time to add them to your blacklist for the site. Google does give you the ability to block individual ads via the Competitive Ad Filter. If you block out commonly served irrelevant ads, you may improve your chances of featuring more ads upon which your visitors will actually click.

The more contextually relevant the ads appearing on your site are, the more clicks you can expect to see. As such, it is important to make an effort to use a combination of proven SEO methods that also work well with Adsense and some program-specific maneuvers to secure the best possible ads on your site.

The Google Adsense Template Phenomenon

2008-10-13T06:08:00.000-07:00

For many affiliate marketers, Google Adsense templates are a god-send. In fact, they are now realizing that good money is made from this source of revenue. Try the simple mathematical computation of multiplying those clicks for every page on your website and you get a summation of earnings equivalent to a monthly residual income with that little effort you have made.

Since this form of contextual advertising can be a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to display relevant and text-based Google ads on their websiteâ€™s content pages and earn money in the process, the need for unique graphics and google adsense templates comes into focus (or any other contextual ad provider). Ever-conscious of spam or junk pages, ideal graphics with ideal ad locations make website creation less painful.

How much you will be earning will depend on how much the advertisers are willing to pay. It will depend also on the keywords required. If the keywords the advertiser have chosen are in high demand, you could receive more dollars per click. On the other hand, low demand keywords will earn you just a few cents per click.

How can you start making profits out of your website using Adsense?

1. First, register for an Adsense account. It will only take a few minutes of your time.

2. When the site is accepted, you will be receiving a bit of javascript code to include in your web pages. You can insert this code on as many pages or web sites that you want. The AdWords will start appearing immediately after.

3. You will be earning a few cents or some dollars per click when someone starts clicking on the AdWords displayed on any of your web pages. Trying to earn false revenues by repetitively clicking on your own ads is a no-no. This will result in a penalty or the possibility of your site being eliminated. The money you have already earned may be lost because of this.

4. View your statistics. Adsense earnings can be checked anytime by logging into your web site account.

Once you got your account working, you may still want to pattern them to the many sites that are earning more money than you are. It is important to note that there are factors affecting how your website will perform and the amount of money it will give you.

It is a common practice that when a site earning money, the tendency is for the owner to want to make more out of what they are getting already. It usually takes some time combined with trial and error to attain what you want for your Adsense contents.

Time and some important factors that you can practice and use. Remember to study your server logs and watch for any activity that seems suspicious. Report anything that you may find odd, may it big or small thing.

You may want to consider disabling ads for your own IP address and local geographic area. This will certainly prevent accidents and will not make Google mistake another user as you. You can do through a htaccess file. This will avoid Google mistaking as clicking on your own ads and be kicked out because of it.

But all-in-all, with quality and original content, it's a win-win situation if you think more about it. A favor for persons looking for quality content and information. For the persons writing the original content articles. And the person with the quality original content rich website. Of course, the search engines and its advertisers are getting targeted traffic and sales but so what? As long as you are getting something in your favor, it does not really matter what the others are getting for themselves. But with quality and original Google Adsense templates making the job MUCH easier, the only income way is up.

This will ensure that any Adsense ads which are placed on this page are appropriate and useful to any visitors who want to know more about the topic and they will more than likely end up clicking on the Adsense ad.

You will want to take care where you place your ads. It has been proven that visitors often first look to the top left of a website when they arrive.

2008-10-13T05:55:00.000-07:00

There is a common complaint among webmasters Google is trigger-happy at banning Adsense publishers who violate their Terms Of Service (TOS), and often without warning.
The TOS violations usually involve:
- publishers clicking on their own ads.
- encouraging visitors to click on the ads.
- tricking visitors into clicking on the ads, e.g. by aligning images to the ad units.
- implementing ads on pages with copyrighted or adult content.

My personal experience has been otherwise and infact, the Google Adsense team had been polite and responsive to my queries. Here's a warning email that I received from Google:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,

While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our policies. For instance, we found violations of AdSense policies on pages such as xxxxyoutube.com.

Publishers are not permitted to make prominent use of â€œGoogle Brand Featuresâ€ on sites showing Google ads. Google Brand Features include Google logos, product screenshots, or other distinctive features Additionally, publishers may not place Google ads on sites incorporating Google trademarks in the site URL or on sites that frame Google pages, including search results pages.

As a result, we have disabled ad serving to the site.

Your AdSense account remains active. However, we strongly suggest that you take the time to review our program policies (https://www.google.com/adsense/policies) to ensure that all of your remaining pages are in compliance.

Please note that we may disable your account if further violations are found in the future.

Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
----------------------------------------------------------------

And this was the response I received within 24 hours of asking how I had violated their terms:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Larry,

Thanks for following up with us and for making the requested changes to your account in order to comply with our policies.

As mentioned in our previous email, publishers may not place Google ads on sites incorporating Google trademarks in the site URL. As you've suggested, the issue was with your use of â€œYouTubeâ€ in your site URL.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Sandor
The Google AdSense Team
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hence, my advice to potential and existing Adsense publishers is to not believe everything you read in webmaster forums. Good luck in making money from the Adsense publisher program and do not harbor a fear that you can be banned at Google's whim and fancy.

Google Adsense Advertising Policies

2008-10-13T05:53:00.000-07:00

Google Adsense is a program that allows businesses to advertise on other websites. They business only pays the host website when a consumer clicks on the link to take them to their website. This is a very effective way of advertising because of the millions of people who access the internet every day. It is also a low cost marketing method that businesses of all sizes can benefit from. Websites are eager to host advertisements for other businesses because it doesnâ€™t cost them anything and they earn money for doing it when consumers choose to follow the link from a particular advertisement.
If you are interested in using Google Adsense to advertise then you need to make sure you are aware of their policies. This will make the process smoother for you and eliminate any misunderstandings down the road. This can be a great money maker or advertising tool, but only when it is used correctly.

You will have a response to your application within two days. Make sure it is completed entirely or your application will be denied.

All communications must take place with Google. This means if you have concerns or issues about an advertisement your business has on a website or about an ad you are hosting on your website everything goes through Google.

The Great Adsense Blend

2008-10-13T05:43:00.000-07:00

Adsense is a wonderful opportunity for you to generate additional income for your website. It doesn't cost you anything is the best part AdSense is also very simple. You have to complete an application with Google and be accepted to host advertisements for other businesses. Then you simply add lines of code to the html on the pages of the website where you are willing to have advertisements. With that all in place, how do you blend the Adsense Ads into your website so they donâ€™t stick out like a sore thumb? You don't want them to distract the consumer from what you are offering on your website.

You may not be aware of it, but you have a lot of say in how the advertisements are placed on your website including the placement, layout, color, and style. There are many places on a website to put Adsense Ads. Some prefer to place it on the top of the page and others like the bottom of the page. Along either side of the text for your website is convenient too. Since we read from left to right, the right side is more common as it will attract attention as the eyes move across the page.

According to Google Adsense, the most effective location is at the top of the page because the entire ad can be seen. Often parts of it are hidden when on the sides unless the mouse is used to scroll over the information. This can be distracting to the consumer and lose the effectiveness of the advertisement. They also recommend using different colors for the ads to differentiate it from your website materials, but to use colors that compliment each other.

The layout can be modified to make it different or the same as your website. Some advertisement hosts like everything to be in the same style and size to give a symmetrical look to the pages. Others like to have their information completely distinct from the advertisements. Both are effective so it is only a matter of personal preference as to how you want your website to appear. Colors including the background can be changed to make everything work together well. You might have to experience a little to come up with the right design you are happy with.

You want to blend the Adsense ads enough that they look natural appearing on your website rather than appearing to be out of place. If they don't look natural they can be distracting to the consumer. They also won't be effective because consumers don't trust what doesn't look professional when it comes to the internet. This could be damaging to your own sales on your website so pay close attention to this issue. It is a good idea to ask some others for feedback on how the information appears to them on your website. You should avoid placing ads to where they appear to be banners.

Adsense offers you some useful tools as well to get everything to blend. The Google Adsense Preview tools allow you to test the layout of your website with the ads in place. This gives you the opportunity to change anything that is ineffective before your consumers view in over the in
ternet. You can also contact their customer support 24/7 for questions or concerns you may have.

Adsense is a great way for your website to generate additional income by offering to host advertisements for other businesses with similar products and services to offer consumers. You are still in control of the layout and design of your website. You have the ability to change the color, layout, and style of the advertisements placed on your website. You also get to determine where they are placed. This makes the idea of participating in Adsense advertising even more appealing.

AdSense - Size Matters and Less is Usually Best

2008-10-07T04:43:00.001-07:00

Are you fed up trying to get traffic to your web pages in the hope someone will click on your AdSense promotions and generate big commissions for you? Do you sometimes feel like giving in? If so, worry not, because I know how to double your commission in one easy move.

I've always been a great devotee of writing articles and allocating a special web page to each article, with AdSense blocks placed strategically across the page.

Then I spotted something strange happening to my AdSense earnings each day. Unusually, article pages I had created just weeks earlier were earning double the income of those I'd created months and even years before, despite there being very little in articles themselves to justify the difference. All my articles are about making money from various business opportunities, and all are on the same site, about the same size, and none of those articles feature keywords and phrases I'd expect to earn more than other articles.

I studied the pages concerned over several weeks, I even printed out the best performing pages and compared them regularly against those that made little or nothing from AdSense.

Then one day the answer came to me out of the blue when I realised the best performing pages had just one AdSense block at the top of the page, just below the title and first paragraph of the article. All my earlier articles had two or three blocks and sometimes additional picture ads. I hadn't intentionally placed just one AdSense block on those best performing pages; I had inadvertently missed them from the web page template I am currently using.

I began looking at the reasons why having just one AdSense block on the page far outweighed the financial benefits of having several. I checked expert AdSense blogs, read expert articles, researched expert books about AdSense and finally I even asked Google themselves.

The answer is, I believe, that Google always delivers best paying advertisements highest on content sites, with lower paying promotions featuring further down the page. So clicks on the first AdSense unit generally earn more than subsequent units and that's why it's best to have just one unit.

Simple really when you think about it.

Google AdSense - How To Register For Google AdSense, Fast!

2008-10-07T04:41:00.000-07:00

For individuals that generate a large number of web sites, or other locations where ads can be placed, Google Adsense is an ideal way to make money. In order to take advantage of this opportunity, you will have to sign up for an Adsense account. It is important to realize that even if you already have a Gmail account, or some other service hosted by Google, you will still need to sign up separately for Adsense.

Once you have located the Adsense registration page, you will need to provide some basic information. Among other things, you will need to provide a physical address. Even if you use a post office box for mailing, Google will not deliver payment to that address. If you feel uncomfortable about disclosing your physical address online, the best thing to do is not sign up for Google Adsense. You may also want to let Google know you do not like their policies on this issue.

After you have completed the registration process, you will need to register each page on your site so that advertisements can be placed on your page. Although the process is not complicated, you will need the assistance of the Adsense tutorials the first few times that you set a page up for Adsense. You will also need to insert a snippet of code on your webpage, so that Google can place the ads where you want them to be seen. Typically, the small amount of time that you spend on this process is worth the financial rewards you will achieve as the site becomes more popular.

To start with, you need to set up an account with AdSense. Fill the online form, provide your personal information, furnish all tax details, select a mode of payment, enter PVN (phone verification number) and PIN (personal identification number). After furnishing these details, your account gets set up in Google AdSense.

When you generate an unpaid income of $100, Google sends you the payment check. For instance, if your entire unpaid income reaches $100 in January and you have furnished all the details as mentioned above, then you get a payment check in February end.

However, if your unpaid income has not touched the $100 mark, whatever earnings you have generated gets rollover to subsequent month. The amount accrues until total earnings reach $100. After this, you will receive the payment within 30 days.

How to Track the Income:

You can easily track your AdSense performance and income through the reports tab present in your account. This tab has, two more sub tabs, overview reports and advanced reports. To get general information of your income, refer to the overview tab. If you want comprehensive details of your account, go through advanced tabs.

At the last day of each month, Google AdSense system identifies your account and checks for generated amount, which has to be at least $100. Now, if your account contains $100 or may be more than that, the account is sent for verification and approval. Within few days of the subsequent month, the system sends you all details, which you can view by checking the history page.

Earning Issues:

After few days, the system processes your income and sends your payment, depending on the mode of payment you have chosen. If you do not receive this payment within 30 days or until 25th of next month, you will need to apply for reissue.

How to Hold the Payments:

If you do not wish to receive your check the other month, opt for payment holding. Here you just need to set up a self-hold in AdSense account. Although, you will not receive the unpaid income, the system accrues your earlier earnings. However, if you want to hold your account, you need to make the changes before 15th of the ongoing month. Thus, you can keep a track of your Google AdSense payments.

You should use the different formats to make sure your AdSense ads blend with your web pages. Google provides you different palettes to try font colors, backgrounds and borders. There is no point in placing an ad on the page which does not blend with your site because it will likely not be clicked by any of your visitors.

Whatever topic your site deals with, you should take care to build pages around this specific topic and include your keywords in the content as many times as possible without it becoming redundant. This is perhaps the best Google AdSense trick to assure that the ads placed on your page, are relevant and useful to the visitors on your site.

Yet another important Google AdSense trick that is often ignored by most webmasters is the AdSense preview tool. Google provides an excellent tool to help you preview the ads that appear on your page.

The Google AdSense program that is developed by Google functions very effectively and has been very popular. It follows the pay per click method. Here they would advertise the advertisements that have been given by the advertiser. You will have to bid for a better position. The more you pay the better would be your ranking.

The pros of the Google AdSense are that its popularity ensures that there would be a whole lot of traffic that would be diverted to the advertiser's website.

This is because he will have to pay only if his advertisement is clicked by the customer.

The cons of Google AdSense are that the advertiser needs to bid for a top ranking. He will have to keep a check on his advertisement from time to time. If there is a higher bidder then his advertiser's ad would be placed at a lower level. Then the advertiser will have to pay more in order to retain his position. This could turn out to be expensive for the advertiser.

Valuable Google Adsense Words Work Best When You Do These Two Things

2008-10-07T03:31:00.000-07:00

There are few things that delight more than using a Google Adsense valuable keyword to post some content on your site and then watching your earnings dramatically climb on that particular site over the next few days. One of the reasons for this is that many times, most Google affiliates will tend to do so many different things without much effect. So whenever something works it really is a big deal.

Still there are two very important things you will need to do with your Google Adsense valuable adwords so that they work best for you, enabling you to milk them for all that they are worth and to fully maximize on your Adsense earnings at your site.

For a long time I made the mistake of ignoring these two very important key factors and the result was frustration and lack of clicks at my sites even when traffic was respectable.

Your Google Adsense Content Must Be Fascinating

Ensuring that the content generated from the valuable Google Adsense words that you decide to use is interesting and captivating, is a very tricky affair indeed. The consequences of dull content generated only for the purpose of using the valuable keywords are obvious. Nobody will want to read it, meaning that even the traffic that you generate will spend only a handful of milliseconds at your site. That means no clicks for your Google Adsense ads displayed on that particular page. Your ads on the other pages will also be affected. This is because visitors will do what everybody does when they come across boring content – they’ll click their way out of your site pronto, meaning that there is hardly any chance of them seeing alternate knock-out content that you may be displaying on other pages.

That’s the devastatingly terrible impact on your Google Adsense earnings of having even one page of boring content.

This is precisely the reason why the ideal situation would be to have several dozen keywords to choose from and then carefully selecting the most interesting article ideas from them. You can also explore effective techniques of selecting the most interesting article ideas from a limited selection of valuable Google Adsense keywords. Yet another option would be to use a low cost online writer to generate the ideas for you as well as write the articles for one low fee per article.

Post Incomplete Versions of Your Google Adsense Content Elsewhere

Posting incomplete versions of your Google Adsense valuable keyword articles at high traffic article sites can help you generate the sort of targeted traffic that can help you get lots of valuable clicks at your Adsense site.

You can go further and do some bulk email marketing using your valuable adwords content. And you do not necessarily need to spend any money. All you need is an opt-in email list of sorts which you can build up yourself or a safelist which you can quickly generate by joining relevant groups at Google groups and Yahoo groups.

I have found that traffic that I have generated from bulk email marketing activities have tended to be numerous, targeted and best of all they click like crazy at my Adsense ads. And again my bulk email marketing activities confirmed clearly that the more fascinating the content, the more clicks I ended up getting.

Get More Clicks With Google AdSense

2008-10-07T03:30:00.000-07:00

I have been a member of Google AdSense for a while now and almost daily I hear the the question from other website owners "I have Google AdSense but I'm not getting very many clicks, what should I do?" Well I'm tired of answering these questions individually so I've decided to make a guide on how to utilize Google AdSense to get the best results.

1. Strategically place your ads

I have done many, many experiments with my AdSense and have figured out what the best place for my AdSense is. I have had the most success using two types of ad placement. The first is to place your AdSense in a vertical skyscraper to the left of your text. I can't be absolutely sure why this works, but I believe it is because people read from right to left so every time they finish reading a line of my content their eyes instantly return to the left of the page and see the ads once again. The next successful ad placement is a horizontal banner in-between the content of your page. I believe this works for me because in order for people to continue reading the content of my page they have to look at the ads. Note: These ad placements work best for "ME", and I am still experimenting to make sure I get the most of my AdSense. That being said, I recommend you perform numerous experiments every week to see what works best for you.

2. Don't have too many ads on a page

I see websites all the time that have pages with 75% ads and 25% content. This is a bad strategy because people will not only think your website is spam, but your Google AdSense will not always be relevant to your page content. If you have 200 words on a page and have three AdSense scripts usually only one of them is relevant to your page content because their just isn't enough information on the page for Google to read and decide what ads should be on your page. This is how I decide how many AdSense scripts I should have on a page.

1. 0-600 words = 0 AdSense
2. 600-800 words = 1 AdSense
3. 800-1200 words = 2 AdSense

You should only have 3 AdSense (which is the maximum allowed by Google TOS) on your page if your page is very popular and receiving many page views a day.

3. Search Engine Optimization

Now this isn't specifically about getting more clicks with AdSense but it is still very important in making money through Google. If you want to learn about search engine optimization (SEO) you can read my guide at Search Engine Optimization. You can also try our free webmaster tools to help optimize your website at The PC Line Webmaster Tools

4. Get your website more traffic

There are more ways than just SEO to get your website more traffic. For example; you can purchase traffic through available online services, you can participate in traffic exchange programs, and you can sign up in a banner exchange program. SEO is the most effective, but when you are starting out you should take traffic from anywhere you can get it.

Lastly I would just like to say, don't expect to make a lot of money from your website when you first start out. True, there are many people out there who make over 1000 dollars a month from their AdSense alone, but they have spent a lot of time experimenting and promoting their websites. When you first start out expect to maybe get one click a day which can pay between .05 and .50 cents depending on what topic you chose for your website. Only after months or even years can you expect to make over a hundred a month from AdSense. You have to spend time every day working and advertising your website if you want to be successful. Don't let this deter you, rather let it inspire you because now you know that it is possible to make some decent extra income from your websites.

Google AdSense, Get Started Right!

2008-10-07T03:07:00.000-07:00

What is Google AdSense?

Google AdSense matches ads to your site's content, and you earn money whenever your visitors click on them. As simple as that. You put ads in your website provided by Google. Whenever, visitors clicks the ads to see the content, you get paid. Once your total earning reaches $100, you will receive the payment from Google.

AdSense for content automatically crawls the content of your pages and delivers ads (you can choose both text or image ads) that are relevant to your audience and your site content; ads so well-matched, in fact, that your readers will actually find them useful.

Can I really earn from AdSense?

Sure! Trust me, if you are REALLY willing to put in the effort, you can earn a decent amount of money through AdSense. Recently there was a post in AdSense blog (AdSense.blogspot.com) that a person finally decided to retire from his 9 to 5 job as his AdSense income was enough for him. This will help him concentrate more on marketing his website to gain more visitors. If he can, why can't you?

What are the minimum requirements for participating in AdSense?

a. A website or blog which has decent number of visitors per day. It must be understood that you must have at least a functional website to earn through AdSense. You don't need to have a website provided you have a blog which is running and active. If you are a beginner, I recommend you to first concentrate on building your website, marketing and driving traffic. If you are serious enough, consider even buying a website with decent amount of visitors.

Do not rush to experiment with AdSense if you are just beginning to build your website. If you see the statistics, the disabled AdSense accounts out there are more of beginners than the seasoned web publishers. The fact is that beginners, out of frustration, sooner or later try to click their own ads to increase their earning which leads to the disabling of their account. So watch out your step.

b. A bank Account.You need to own a bank account if you want to receive payments from Google AdSense. You cannot encash the cheque they send unless you have a bank account. You don't need to have an international bank account. Your local bank account will do fine.

Is there any alternatives for AdSense?

Well, there are similar programmes mimicking Google AdSense out there. Like Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN), overture and so on. But none is as effective as Google AdSense.

Why AdSense is so effective?

The main reason of success behind AdSense is that it is owned by the industry leading search engine group, i.e., Google. Leveraging on the supremacy of their search engine, AdSense can deliver contextually targeted ads with ease than any other vendor. They make use of the database of millions of stored webpage across the net to deliver targeted ads. Thus the ads are well matched; superior to any other service like YPN.

How can I increase my earnings?

Website Marketing

The primary way to increase your earning. More Visitors = More Clicks = More Money. As simple as that. Increase traffic to your website and you should see growth in your AdSense income.

Ad Placements

Sure! Ad placement counts as well. We as surfers, normally programmed not to click on any ads. Thus the success lies in integrating AdSense ads with your webpage; i.e., making it look like as if part of the content. Then you will see a rise in click through rate.

Keyword Analysis

It should be understood that not all ads are priced at the same price. There are ads which is priced as low as one cent. Then there are ads which is priced as high as 5-10$ per click. Normally, we cannot determine the click-through price of an ad. But we can control the general pricing by suitably choosing the content. For example, ads about camera review will pay less compared to ads about camera products. So, we should wisely choose the content of website. Generally ads on insurance and travel sector tend to pay more.

How to apply for Google AdSense?

Once your website is ready, sign up with Google AdSense from their home page. Your website will be reviewed by the specialists at AdSense. Once your website is approved, you can deliver targeted ads by pasting a few lines of html code into your webpage.

First of all I presume you know what Google AdSense is? If you don't then it's a program run by Google whereby website owners join the Google Adwords program and they bid for keywords related to their sites content. PPC (Pay Per Click) if you have heard about it. Google then advertises the Google Adwords subscribers website ads on different webmasters websites and on other different platforms including Google search result pages (on the far right).

This is AdSense when webmasters show Google Ads on their website. These webmasters need to apply to join the Google AdSense network. So when their application has been accepted they can go on and start displaying AdSense ad units on their websites or blogs.

When people click on these ads the webmasters get paid for each click. It's good as well because you get paid for people clicking the ad units and not buying anything. So AdSense is the other side of the the Adwords page. You will get paid when your AdSense account reaches a certain threshold which is $100. You are paid either by check or direct deposit into your bank account.

In order for you to do well in this field of advertising from your website or blog, you need to be getting a considerable amount of traffic to your website. Your website needs to be monetized as well, meaning your ad units need to be put in the right places on your website or blog in order for you to achieve conversions. In this case conversions are clicks form your visitors.

So if you want to try and make money from your website or blog try Google AdSense. Go to Google search and type in the word "AdSense". On the search results page click on the "Welcome to AdSense" link and you will be directed to the AdSense page.

Optimize Your Google AdSense Ads With Section Targeting

2008-10-03T04:19:00.002-07:00

Everybody wants to do all they can to make their Google AdSense ads work more effectively. One great and easy way of doing this is with Google AdSense Section Targeting, offered by the good and brilliant folks at Google themselves - they are always on the cutting edge.

You're really missing a terrific opportunity if you have not been using Google Section Targeting in your AdSense optimization tactics. These section tags zero in on what's most important on your webpage & ignore the stuff that doesn't pertain to ads that would apply to your website content.

Since we all learn best by trial and error, why not try this little trick of the trade I've learned while adding section targeting to my scores of web pages? Though they are easy to place into your HTML code, I find it easiest to finish my HTML & then add my section tags.

There are only three tags you need to know how to use. First is the start tag, which you place before the HTML code that you want the Google crawlers to notice. Second is the start-but-ignore tag, which you place before the HTML code you would prefer the crawlers to ignore. Third is the end tag, which you place where you want the previous two tags to stop noticing or ignoring.

Google warns it may take up to two weeks for them to crawl your newly optimized pages, & they warn, as I do, that results can't be guaranteed. It's worth a shot & the small effort.

Using Google Adsense Templates

2008-10-03T04:19:00.001-07:00

Income generating programs that are associated with Yahoo, Google, and Amazon continue to soar in popularity with the internet marketing community and web site owners are constantly roaming the web for the latest and hottest Google AdSense tip. Some online business owners inevitably migrate to software programs that make the tasks easier and much more manageable. Templates have become a hot commodity amongst internet marketers who are seeking to take advantage of the AdSense program. Template software packages can reduce the time it takes to build an actual web site and many of these programs are very affordable. However, are these software programs a good investment and can they deliver on promises of an increased customer base for your web site? There are three courses of action that a web site owner must consider when choosing to examine the use of templates for Google AdSense.

Looking for shortcuts and learning how to make money with Google AdSense will, most often, lead a web site owner to consider the use of templates. A quick internet search yields a wide range of templates for the online business entrepreneur to consider and many can be found on eBay as well. Some are very affordable - in fact, some are very inexpensive and herein lies a problem. If a set of templates is readily available and extremely inexpensive, it is highly recommended that these packages be avoided. Chances are strong that a vast number of web site owners have already purchased this program and sites like Google, Yahoo, and MSN frown upon a large number of templates that are used to flood their search engines.

On certain occasions, some software owners produce a limited number of AdSense templates and these programs are usually more expensive than the software packages that are always available. Are these limited editions worth the investment? If very few are released to the public and the templates are of a high quality, then it is possible to consider such a purchase. However, if too many are released to the public or if the qualitative aspects are suspect, then your option to decline the investment should be contemplated.

The best templates to use are ones that are created by you. They will be unique to you and your business exclusively. Too, the search engines will look favorably at your web sites and with more regularity. Creating ten to fifteen templates should suffice and these self-produced software packages can be used many times without the risk of having Google, Yahoo, or MSN look unfavorably at your web sites. One additional secret - be sure to invest in a web site traffic report program. Keeping a daily log of your web site's activities will help you to keep a focus on the nuances of customers and where to make necessary adjustments when needed.

Templates can be a blessing or a hindrance. As online business owners continue to look for the best Google AdSense tip with regard to templates, consideration must be given to what truly works - a reliance on self.

Google AdSense Only Adds Up to Cents

2008-10-03T04:16:00.000-07:00

Google AdSense is the most popular form of advertisement on the internet. People can now distinguish them from other adverts and choose to ignore them without even paying them a second thought. This topic is regularly being discussed by Bloggers and other website owners. Adverts being ignored won't be clicked on, therefore no money can be made by the Bloggers. Google is being blamed for this because of their tactic to include text that says "ads by Google" beneath the adverts.

In order for Google AdSense to generate any income you can't have a website getting only 30 to 40 visitors a day. This small number of visitors will likely only make you about one dollar or less a day, not really worth the trouble or the hassle. Also Google AdSense doesn't really make your blog or website look good. It is typical to only get a 1.5% to 5% click through rate. Getting only $0.10 per click you can see that you would be making very little money. Although you can't blame Google for this. YOU must drive targeted traffic to your blog or website.

But you can blame Google for the look of the adverts. But they have been using them for so long and so effectively that you probably won't see a major overhaul anytime soon. Although, they have started to make much better looking ads for the bigger brands. But if your niche blog or website doesn't fall in that category you are left with the unattractive adverts.

Click fraud is when someone sets up a website and through a system or scheme automatically clicks on the Google AdSense ads and tries to get paid. Google is always on the lookout for click thru fraud and it has been reported that as much as 15% of click through contents are from fraudulent sources. This has meant the advertisers paying Google have either lowered the amount they would pay or moved away, driving down the price per click for the blog owner.

With less competition comes smaller revenues. Website owners who had previously gotten the majority of their income from Google AdSense are now having to find other revenue streams or rework their website content to match the adverts.

Google AdSense is going to have to address the new trend in advertising, graphically relevant adverts. They have yet to build a database of graphic adverts which other smaller companies are doing. Most likely Google will buy up their competition but as of now they are beginning to fall behind in this area. Many advertisers realize that they get a higher click through rate with a graphic and are moving in that direction. So the blog or website owner might start looking into carrying other advertisers for higher click through rates.

Last but not least is the complaint that the AdSense ads are the same every time a repeat visitor comes back, thus being even more of a reason not to click. The solution to that is to rotate ads but the problem is that the best adverts won't be showing all of the time, thus dropping the click through rate for the blog owner. Fortunately, this is not a perfect science so proving that you are losing money on rotating adverts is very difficult.

Although there are many issues with Google AdSense they are still the dominant player in this market. If you can get your traffic up to your site it is still possible to make a decent income from Google. Hopefully this will be the case for the next few years.

Learn How to Make Money With Google AdSense

2008-10-03T04:15:00.000-07:00

Google AdSense is about placing text ads on your web site. The beauty of AdSense is that after you paste the code on your site, Google then reads your content and place ads that are relevant to the content and theme of your site. This is important because you now have a much greater chance of an ad being clicked because it is about the subject that the user is searching for. You get paid every time someone clicks on one of those ads. That is it. No selling required. Once they click, you get paid.

Anyone can be an AdSense publisher and earn money online. High school kids are earning thousands each month. Housewives, retirees, moms and dads have created full time income by just placing AdSense ads on their website or blog.

By targeting the lower competition keywords you can get higher search engine rankings more quickly.

3. Write original quality content articles - Using the keywords from your research, write an article that is about 500 words long. By writing your own articles you will avoid being penalized for duplicate content.

4. Design your website - I would suggest that you find a good AdSense template package that has all the design and placement of your ads all ready done for you. All you have to do is add your Google AdSense id number and add your content. Also look for templates that have good graphics, especially the header graphic. A good package will also allow you to edit the pictures as well.

Why Google AdSense is the Top Affiliate Program

2008-10-03T04:14:00.000-07:00

Google is an unbelievable company. In 10 years they have gone from a startup founded on $100,000 debt to a multi-billion-dollar company and the largest search engine in the world. They have done this through many different ways, but their advertising revenue is the backbone of the company. This revenue is also another reason why Google AdSense is the top affiliate program available on the Internet today.

According to Wikipedia AdSense is an advertisement serving program run by Google. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image, and more recently, video advertisements on their websites. These advertisements are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis.

The affiliate program is very easy to join and offers excellent tutorials on the best ways to promote it. Probably the quickest way to get approved as an affiliate for Google AdSense is to start a blogger.com blog with them. Google owns blogger.com and they make it very easy for you to add AdSense ads to your blog. Once you are approved you can place the code for various ads on your other websites and pages too.

Why I think this is a top affiliate program is that it makes it possible for the average person to begin making money with websites that otherwise might not be profitable. You do not actually have to sell anything to earn a profit. You also do not have to go out and sell the advertising as Google does that for you. You just place the script and they bring up the relevant advertisers based on the theme of each web page.

Every time a visitor clicks on one of the Google Ads that are being displayed you earn a small commission. Depending on the amount of traffic that you get this can add up to a substantial income.

As a matter of fact there are affiliates earning five and six figure incomes per month just with Google AdSense. You do not need to have any particular skill, but you do have to drive traffic to the web pages and then play the numbers from there.

There are some skills to generating traffic, but that is something you will have to learn to do with any affiliate program. Google will continue to be the top affiliate program on the Internet today as long as they maintain ease of operation and continue to pay their affiliates on a timely basis.

Google AdSense Help

2008-09-19T11:09:00.000-07:00

AdSense is starting to make a huge impact on the affiliate marketing industry. Due to this, many weaker affiliate marketers will not survive and this will in turn cause the ad networks to lose customers more quickly.

If you are in an affiliate program where you are losing money or barely breaking even, then you should consider going into the Google AdSense Marketing Program. This will give you the opportunity to make some real honest money.

The ads that Google compose are very well written and are well matched to the content on your web pages. You do not have to find these ads yourself as this is done for you by the different search engines from other people's sources.

Another great feature of AdSense is that you do not have to spend countless hours choosing ads for different pages and putting in codes for different affiliate programs. The search engines will find the best ads in which to put your pages on.

Even if you already have affiliate links on your site, you are still allowed to add AdSense Ads. However, you cannot duplicate or imitate the Google Ads for your affiliate links. You are permitted to use Google's custom palette to customize your Google Ads so they will appear as part of the web page itself. The main idea behind this is to match the background and links to blend into the theme of your web site. Today, surfers on the internet are taught to click on a link that is blue and if the Google Ads blend into your web page, then they appear to be part of your "content."

Also, you have the ability to filter up to 200 URLs and this gives you the option to block ads for the sites that do not meet your guidelines and also block your competition.

If you are the owner of a small site, you are allowed to insert a code into it and instantly have text ads that are attractive to your visitors. You only have to apply once, even if you have more then one site. Once you apply, you are assigned a unique "publisher ID," which can be used on any site that you own.

How to Increase Google AdSense Revenue

2008-09-19T11:05:00.000-07:00

While Google AdSense has seen some changes over the years, it is still one of the best ways to make a reliable, steady income on the web. This is perhaps the best way to make money from advertising. Because all of the technical aspects are performed by Google, site owners just have to plan ways to make their sites capable of getting well-paid Google ads. A lot of this ad placement is out of your control as a site owner - so is it really possible to build a site geared towards making money with Google AdSense? It is - read on for some of the ways to accomplish this.

Build a site with AdSense in mind.

The size of the internet as a marketplace means that there are some advantages for you as a site owner; much of this has been discovered serendipitously through site owners just trying to provide good content for their niche market readership. Then Google AdSense came along and placed high-paying ads on their sites.

However, this is more of a happy accident and you cannot rely on this happening with your site. Instead, you need to work towards building a website which will increase Google revenue for you.

If you want to build an AdSense oriented website, follow these steps:

You need to be content-focused.

Not just any content will do - you need high quality content; content which gets people reading and gets the interest of other websites. What you need to keep in mind here is relevance and providing valuable information to readers. Google AdSense is picky, so make sure your content is top notch.

Your site has to have great content on a consistent basis. Practice your writing skills and make sure to research your content thoroughly - if you don't have time to do all of this yourself, hire someone to write content for your site instead.

If you want your site to attract good AdSense ads, don't make a directory site. Google AdSense very rarely will choose to display ads on these sites.

Be in good company.

Google pays attention to the kind of links your site has. The better your links, the better off you are in Google's assessment. These links are like having a seal of approval from your industry peers. When Google looks through your website for AdSense placement purposes, they will see the great links you have and allot AdSense ads to you accordingly.

Put value in the structure of your website.

A website which is geared towards making money with Google AdSense is a site which is well put together. You need to not have your site constantly under construction; this will lead to Google passing you by. You need to minimize the number of broken links on your site and focus on good design for your site; you want your site to be easy to navigate. A site which is so designed is also attractive to web surfers who are notoriously impatient with difficult to use websites.

Work with more valuable keywords.

There are keywords which cost only 5 cents a click, while others are in the $10 to $20 range - those are the keywords you want. Think about the difference between having 1,000 visitors click a 5 cent ad as opposed to those same 1,000 visitors clicking a $20 ad and you'll see the value of using better keywords on your website.

Follow Google AdSense policies.

Google does not allow certain content; this includes sexual content, crude language and material of dubious value. Have a look at their policies to see what kind of content you should avoid. If you don't meet their guidelines, it doesn't matter how hard you work on your site - you will simply be ignored by Google.

Optimize your website.

The more relevant your site's content is to your industry or topic, the better chance you have of being noticed. If you want to build an AdSense site, you should focus on providing relevant content and building links with other sites in the same niche. This will help your search engine rankings and your AdSense placements. Make content which is original and grabs reader's attention. This content has a much better chance of getting you noticed than does reprinting content from other sources.

Draw targeted traffic.

If your site is on the topic of football and you want to get better AdSense ads, then what you need to do is to get visitors who are interested in football, obviously. These people are far more likely to click your AdSense ads than are people who have no interest in the subject. Targeted traffic will raise your search engine rankings and make your site more profitable - this is the way to increase Google AdSense revenue.

5 5 Ways That Can Get Your Google Adsense Account Terminated

2008-09-19T10:52:00.000-07:00

Google is the king of the search engines and they take that title very seriously. They are constantly working to make sure that all users of their search engine are getting relevant and quality searches. They want to make sure that whatever result the user clicks on, they will find information that is helpful to them.

This is why google AdSense is so popular. If you add AdSense to your pages, then the ads that appear will be relevant to the copy on your web page. You are now giving the visitor of your site added information so they can ultimately find exactly what they are looking for. By targeting high in demand keywords many AdSense publishers are making a nice income just from AdSense.

This makes google AdSense a great way to make income online. However, there are some people who think they cheat the all mighty king. Well let me tell you that you can not cheat google. Your blackhat methods may work for short period of time, but in the long run google will catch you and they will terminate your account. After they terminate your account they will keep all the money in your account. You will not get paid and there is no way to fight them because you violated the terms of service which you agreed to uphold.

Before you start your AdSense empire, here is a list of things that will get your AdSense account terminated.

1. Clicking on your ads - Google can track IP addresses and this will get your account terminated very quickly.

2. Hidden Keywords - Filling your page with keywords that are the same color as your background. Visitors may not be able to see the keyword stuffing, but the google bot will be able to read them.

3. Page Cloaking - This is when there you create an optimized page for the search engine and another page which is designed for the visitor of your site. Having a page that a human visitor of your site will never see is a not looked upon in a friendly manner by google. They look at it as you are tricking your visitor to click on something that you want them to see, but they may not want to see it.

4. Doorways - This technique is very similar to page cloaking. A page that is filled with high demand keywords is then redirected visitors to another user friendly page. This will get your account terminated because you are sending the visitor to a page you want them to go to, not where the visitor wants to go.

5. Different domain names with the same content - First of all you will be nailed with a duplicate content penalty and see your rankings drop like a stone. Second, search engines can look at IP addresses, registry dates and all other information related to a domain name. So if you think that you can hide this information, then you are wrong. The same goes for the same content on separate pages and sub domains.

These are only 5 techniques that can get your google AdSense account terminated. There are many other techniques that people use. Just do things the correct way and build your sites with your visitors in mind. Do not build for the search engine. If you think of technique that you think will trick google or any other search engine, think again. They will figure it out and when they do they will bring down the hammer.

You can not beat the search engines. Do not try. Just do everything the correct way and you will be enjoying a nice AdSense income for a long time.

Making Google Adsense work for You

2008-08-25T12:45:00.000-07:00

If you have been online for quiet some time you might have noticed those tiny ads on many websites with the little "ads by google" notice beneath them.

These ads are called "Adsense", they are paid advertisements and can be a very lucrative income source for the person posting them on his/her website.

Whenever someone visits your website Google displays these ads wich are very targetted to your websites content. This is what its all about, since people come to your website with a specific interest Google will display ads reflecting that topic.

That means that any ad that is displayed fits the interest of the person viewing it. Since Google pays you for each clicktrough this can be very lucrative if done right. Here are just a couple of examples on how you can get the most from Adsense.

Focussing on one specific topic helps increase your clicktroughs because the ads Google displays will be extremely targetted to the topic the person is allready viewing.

For example you could make a website purely on growing flowers. People who visit your website are already interested in gardening and Google will likewise display ads on that topic.

A great tool to check wich keywords might be shown by Google on your website is Adsense Web Tool

The more targeted Google's ads are the more clicktroughs you will get and the more you will earn.

Search for the keywords that have the highest bids and optimize your website to them.

When you setup an account at http://www.adwords.com" target=new>http://www.adwords.com you can use Googles keyword tool to view wich keywords pull the most visitors and how much the advertisers are paying for each click. Some keywords are as much as $100 a click, think of what you earn when you optimize your website to them.

Next you optimize your sites content to these keywords, you can do this by either creating content yourself or by using other peoples content like for example articles from third parties wich you can find at Ezine Articles etc.

Remember its all about targeted content, the more targetted your content is the more target Google's ads will be and the more clicks you will generate.

Have fun!

2 Surefire Ways To Maximize Your Adsense Earnings

2008-08-23T10:25:00.000-07:00

If webmasters want to monetize their websites, the great way to do it is through Adsense. There are lots of webmasters struggling hard to earn some good money a day through their sites. But then some of the â€œgeniusesâ€ of them are enjoying hundreds of dollars a day from Adsense ads on their websites. What makes these webmasters different from the other kind is that they are different and they think out of the box.

The ones who have been there and done it have quite some useful tips to help those who would want to venture into this field. Some of these tips have boosted quite a lot of earnings in the past and is continuously doing so.

Here are some 5 proven ways on how best to improve your Adsense earnings.

1. Concentrating on one format of Adsense ad. The one format that worked well for the majority is the Large Rectangle (336X280). This same format have the tendency to result in higher CTR, or the click-through rates. Why choose this format out of the many you can use? Basically because the ads will look like normal web links, and people, being used to clicking on them, click these types of links. They may or may not know they are clicking on your Adsense but as long as there are clicks, then it will all be for your advantage.

2. Create a custom palette for your ads. Choose a color that will go well with the background of your site. If your site has a white background, try to use white as the color of your ad border and background. The idea to patterning the colors is to make the Adsense look like it is part of the web pages. Again, This will result to more clicks from people visiting your site.

3. Remove the Adsense from the bottom pages of your site and put them at the top. Do not try to hide your Adsense. Put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between Adsense locations can make when you see your earnings.

4. Maintain links to relevant websites. If you think some sites are better off than the others, put your ads there and try to maintaining and managing them. If there is already lots of Adsense put into that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way visitor will see your ads first upon browsing into that site.

5. Try to automate the insertion of your Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your Adsense code in a text file, save it as â€œadsense textâ€, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.

These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. It is important to know though that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. So focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already.

Note also that there are many other Adsense sharing the same topic as you. It is best to think of making a good ad that will be somewhat different and unique than the ones already done. Every clickthrough that visitors make is a point for you so make every click count by making your Adsense something that people will definitely click on.

Tips given by those who have boosted their earnings are just guidelines they want to share with others. If they have somehow worked wonders to some, maybe it can work wonders for you too. Try them out into your ads and see the result it will bring.

If others have done it, there is nothing wrong trying it out for yourself.

If you're an active Adsense publisher, I'm sure you have seen irrelevant Adsense ads on your site. Right? I've experienced them too.

Not only these ads do not relate to your website content, they will not get clicked as well.

Recently I've figured out several ways how to solve this problem.

1- Try adding META tags to your web page. The most important tags are TITLE, DESCRIPTION and KEYWORDS.

2- Rename your html file. Don't use a generic name. Instead, use your keyword(s) as your file name. For example, if the page is about making money with Adsense,
simply name it make-money-with-adsense.htm.

3- Try refreshing your page again and again until you see relevant ads displayed. You can refresh the page by clicking on the refresh button, or pressing F5 key on your keyboard.

4- If any of the above tricks do not work, you can send an email to Google Adsense Support telling them about the problem. Don't hesitate. Their support team will reply to your email shortly.

I've experienced this problem with several sites of mine, and it was solved 2-3 days after contacting Google Adsense team.
