Adsense Map Alternatives

AdSense is not the only game in town and for many internet publishers it is not the most profitable option either.

The link below takes you to one alternative system. It's neat, tidy and integrates with a system that can make you over $50 for some clicks.

Furthermore, it incorporates a viral marketing element that can generate income for you at a later date even if you take your website down!

Best of all, it costs nothing.

Adsense Blogging

Since I started using AdSense there has been a huge increase in the interest in blogging. You know the kind of thing: people everywhere posting their random thoughts about whatever takes
their fancy on special websites.

The great news about blogging is that you can start a blog for nothing, get it hosted for nothing and yet still add your own AdSense code into your postings.

Result: a source of additional AdSense income that costs you absolutely zero apart from some time at your computer.

If blogging is a bit of a mystery or if you just want to know how you can exploit these free services to make more money with AdSense or with affiliate programs for that matter, you might like to take a peek at this book.

Adsense Tools

I've sent you a fair bit of info about AdSense now and hopefully you've understood all the key elements about traffic, clicks, how much you get paid and so on.

A wide range of tools have been developed since AdSense first came along and many publishers have benefited significantly from these. For example, there are tools that build sites with
content for you. There are tools that set up links from other sites to yours which helps with the process of search engine optimization - the process of getting your site ranked highly
for important search phrases.

There are also tools that virtually guarantee to increase the number of clicks you get per visitor.

Personally, I'm very happy to pay good money for good products and so should you be. After all, if a product costs you x dollars and yet makes you 10x dollars it would be a perverse commercial
decision not to buy it.

Having said that, there is absolutely no point in paying more for a product than you have to. So today I wanted to tell you about an interesting website that does one thing, and one thing
alone.

It sells well-known internet marketing products at sharp discounts.

It's a site that I buy things from myself from time to time, especially when a product I want is suddenly offered cheap.

The site is a membership site but without any charges attached.
You just need to sign up to it and that's it. The product on offer changes every day and if you see one from time to time that you want, then that is the best place to buy it because
it will be cheap.

Let me give you an example.

Recently a product called SEO Elite was offered by the site for about 42% off the normal price. SEO Elite is an excellent product and normally sells for $167 (or at least it does at the time I'm
writing this email).

Through the site I mentioned it was on sale for $97 instead.
So simply by being a member of the site, buyers saved $70 which is a significant amount.

See what I mean?

At some point you will want to purchase some products to help grow your online profits and if you are going to do this, then you might as well pay as little as you can.

Sign up here. As I said, there's no cost.

Adsense Insider Part 5

I said earlier that there are things you can do if you find your site is not accepted by Google and by far the most useful thing to bear in mind is that Google seeks out information. So unless your website has a lot of information in it, you probably won't get accepted.

Now as you can imagine, this is not a clear cut issue.

Who decides whether your site is information rich or not?

********************************
AUTOMATIC SITE ASSESSMENT
********************************

The answer is that in the first instance Google's own spider, the software that scans your site, is the first arbiter. If it 'thinks' your site is content rich then you will pass the first hurdle. And this is where some sites fail.

The spider is an automated system and it makes quick, not always accurate judgements which gives you the first clue about getting your site accepted:

If your site is rejected fast by which I mean within a couple of hours or so, it has probably been rejected by Google's spider on the basis that it doesn't understand what your site is about too clearly or it hasn't found much content.

So you will have to get to work and add content - write further copy relevant to your main them, scan the web and find good articles to post (but make sure you get the appropriate permissions). All this will help.

And then submit again.

BE WARNED: there is a rumour going round that one site was rejected and it simultaneously got dropped from a previously high ranking on Google's search results page. It's only a rumour, but be warned.

Similarly, if your site is accepted fast, it will almost certainly have been accepted automatically.

******************
Human intervention
******************

However, there appears to be a middle case where the spider is not sure whether your site qualifies or not.
And in this instance, the site is referred to a human who makes the decision.

FactsAboutAdSense.com passed straight through the acceptance process because it has a load of content in it, has a clear theme running right through the site and is designed to move up the search engine ranks too.

TIP:

If you are thinking of applying for AdSense, check out sites that compete with your own for traffic and see if any of them have been accepted. If they have, compare the content in them to your own to see if you exceed theirs. (This is quite a subjective process but it can help you)

If you are rejected, you can always apply again.

**************
Multiple sites
**************

Google actively discourages you from running several AdSense accounts on different sites. I'm not clear why they do this at the moment apart perhaps from saving operational costs involved in printing and posting checks.

However, it does mean that once in, you're in. For example, I run a website called CommercialReality.co.uk which is where I sell my consultancy services and I host some AdSense ads there on the page http://www.commercialreality.co.uk/marketingtools.htm

I suspect though that there is inherent danger in taking your successful application from one site and stretching it across to a very poor site because Google will always be jealous of its brand image. If I get any more news on this I'll let you know.

There's something else to think about too. Google is most likely to place HIGHER earning ads on your site because, whilst on Google's own page there can be up to 8 ads, with AdSense
there can only be a maximum of 5.

If you were Google, what would you do? Place the lower bidding ads, or the higher ones?

Don't forget however that not all AdWords ads are syndicated out into the AdSense program.

Here's a page that will tell you more about how Google shares AdSense revenuue with publishers. The key point here is that whilst the headline figure looks good, it is skewed
in favor of Google's largest clients.

http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/2419-3-10.htm


*****************************************************

Well that's the end of the course. I hope you now feel
better informed about Google's AdSense system.

Adsense Insider Part 4

Today we are going to deal with the process of implementing AdSense into your site.

Of course, you first of all need to get accepted into the AdSense program.

Assuming your site has made the grade, you will get an email from Google with the title Welcome to AdSense.

This will include a link to a page on Google where you enter your username and password.

Make your password non-obvious because when you log on to your account, you say where the money goes and you don't want someone else redirecting it do you?

Included in your AdSense control panel is a form where you specify what shape of ads you want to display and when you make your selection, some JavaScript code appears in a box below. All you need to do is cut and paste this code into your site.

But there are some decisions you need to make first.

There are three steps.

1. Decide which pages you want to place AdSense ads on.

2. Decide what format ads you want on each page.

3. Paste the code in the site

***********************
Where to place your ads
***********************

Do you want AdSense ads on your home page?

This depends on what your site is about. Remember, unless you are writing a site specifically to get AdSense revenues, the main aim of your site is not going to be getting clicks that TAKE PEOPLE AWAY from your pages!

The best place to put ads is on content-rich pages that you already have but which are not producing any revenues for you already.

***************
AdSense formats
***************

Google offers lots of formats for your ads. We can't show them in this email but you can find out more about them at http://www.factsaboutadsense.com/adsenseformattingguide.htm

You should pick the one that fits in best with your existing page structure unless during the review process you decide to undertake a major re-vamp!

Google allows multiple formats across your site but until recently only allowed you to place one block of ads on each page. This has now increased to 3 blocks on the same page.

*************
Color schemes
*************

Google lets you specify what colors the ads will appear in and there are two schools of thought about what is best.

You can design ads so that they fit well with your existing web design.

Or you can make the ads stand out strongly by choosing a marketedly different color palette.

You can now get sufficiently high resolution statistics from Google to find out which ads work best on your site.

I cover this in detail in my book The Definitive Guide to Google AdSense.

************
Pasting code
************

This is either easy for you or difficult! If you routinely look at the HTML in your web pages, the
process is straightforward: just locate where in the page you want the ads to go and paste the code in.

If HTML is a foreign language you'll need some help to begin with.

Practically, the best way forward is to experiment a bit. Put the code in, have a look at the page (and Google will immediately start posting ads on the page although they may not be context-targeted to begin with - more on this later.) If you like what you see, stick with it. If not, move it around, use a different format (go back to your AdSense control panel) and do it again.

*****************
What happens next
*****************

As soon as your new page is viewed (even if you preview it in FrontPage), Google gets alerted to
its existence and sends out some ads.

Now if Google doesn't know anything about the page you will see so-called Public Service ads which are about charities and so on.

However, in around 15 minutes (it's that fast) you will start to see ads that are context-targeted.
They will be more relevant to your page.

But this will only happen if Google can work out what your page is about, so check that the copy makes it clear and that the page title, headings and meta tags are consistent and valid.

*******************
Rejected by Google?
*******************

If you can't get into the AdSense program, don't despair! There are things you can probably do to improve your chances and you can re-submit your site.

Look carefully at the criteria for acceptance again on Google own site.

Make sure you have relatively clean content, with lots of text (Google can't "read" the content of a picture and it doesn't deal well with Flash animations) and focus your copy on the theme of the web page.

You will also need to ensure that your site is big enough so that it isn't regarded as too trivial.

Some people say you should go for at least 20 pages but in our experience you don't need that much - you just need good content.

*******************

Quite a short day today.

Tomorrow, we'll cover some tricks for getting accepted even on small sites and how to interpret the earning statistics.

I'll also give you a link that currently at least shows you what sort of earnings you should expect.

Google forbids people from releasing this info - but I've found an independent source on the internet that I'll share with you.

Adsense Insider Part 3

We know that AdSense revenue was controllably dependent on

* Click thru rate
- you need to encourage those clicks- but watch out you don't break Google's rules.

* Click thru price
- have content relating to high value keywords

* Page traffic
- more visits equals more clicks

The focus today is on Page traffic.


I don't know how much traffic your site currently gets but you probably want more. However, there are two different sorts of traffic: the casual visitor who is not going to do much, is click/trigger happy and won't hang around and doesn't come back.

Then there's the keen, genuinely interested, active site participant. This is the sort of traffic you want to get and keep because your job is to develop a relationship with this type of visitor - not a one-night stand.

Why?

Because people who visit your site frequently are going to be interested in what is on it and this interest will extend to your AdSense ads - that's what Google does for you automatically.

Interest = clicks. Clicks = money.

They'll also come back of their own accord and each time they do, they might see another interesting ad too.


That thinking has helped us define who we want but we now have two tasks ahead:

1. Getting these people to visit your site the first time.

2. Getting these people engaged in the site so that they remember it, like it and come back frequently

Let's look at the first of these.

******************************
Getting the first time visitor
******************************

You are going to have to promote your website to people who you know are likely to be interested in the contents of your site.

There are 8 standard strategies:

1. Advertise your site offline using postcards, printed ads, signs on your car etc.
BUT GIVE PEOPLE A GOOD REASON to visit in your ad.

2. Advertise your site online with AdWords and other pay
per click systems such as Overture - but watch you don't
spend more than you earn.

3. Get your site high on search engines (by building
excellent content - that's what they look for).
This is FREE and is the best method although it takes
time for a new site to get noticed. People searching
on a search engine are ACTIVELY looking for stuff
which means they are more likely to become active
visitors, visitors who return and click - if they
like what they find.

4. Promote your site in an ezine about your subject
matter (but make your writing interesting) and send it
to your regular customers or visitors.

5. Enter comments into discussion forums and include a short
link to your site. We did this for FactsAboutAdSense.com
in a brand-marketing forum and started getting visits
almost immediately - for ZERO cost.

6. Use PR techniques to get your site mentioned in the Press.

7. Include your web address in your email signature ALWAYS.
Again, this won't cost you anything but will increase the
visit rate - and it can work very well if you do more than
just put your web address on it - give them a reason to
visit. ("You could get paid by Google. Visit
FactsAboutAdSense.com to learn how" is what I use. It works.)

8. Publish an ebook about your subject and give it away but
include links to your website in it.


******************************
Keeping the relationship going
******************************

How does your site keep people engaged?

You need to give people

a * REASON, and

a * REMINDER,

to * RETURN


How do you do this?

***********
The REASON
***********

Make your site genuinely useful and informative about your
theme, product or service.

************
The REMINDER
************

You can't remind people to visit unless you know who they are. So you need to get their contact details in return for permission to keep in touch and an effective way to do this is to give something away like a tip sheet, a guide, insider knowledge and so on.

But, again, make sure it is useful and has value.

Now use this contact information to remind people about your site.

The easiest way to do this is by email, but it is good to vary the media sometimes and use snail mail too (so make sure you get address details too.)

If you use email, you are probably going to need to automate the process, otherwise you'll spend all day at your PC, and the best way to do this is to use an autoresponder.

What an autoresponder does is send out emails automatically when it receives new contact details but good ones do much more than this.

I use one to distribute this AdSense Insider course and I have programmed it to send out the 5 lessons in the course automatically in sequence.

Here's some more info about it
http://www.factsaboutadsense.com/autoresponders.htm

Your autoresponder should be easy to use, and provide you with detailed testing and reporting capabilities as well as, crucially, a facility that makes it easy for people to opt-out from your mailing list. You must do this to avoid being accused of spamming.

This is yet another reason why content is king. Keep providing information, information, information otherwise they'll sign off - for good.

************************
Your visitors' behaviour
************************

How do people behave when they visit your site?

First time visitors make an extremely quick judgement about your site, in fact you typically have just 10 seconds or so to make a positive impression.

So you have to explain immediately why people should stay.

Don't worry about not catching everyone because you only want targeted visitors anyway. The low interest types are not going to help drive up your AdSense revenues.

A great way to do this is to put your number one benefit statement into the headline on your home page.

Does FactsAboutAdSense.com do this?

You judge.

*******************************
The dreaded Corporate Yawn-fest
*******************************

What doesn't work is a corporate yawn-fest on a web site that starts off with something like "We've pride ourselves in providing you, the customer, with excellence in everything
we do..."

Apart from anything else, why would you believe them?

Now IF you get someone to stay on your site, they typically have a little look round first before delving more deeply into what you're offering.

Only if they continue to be interested are you likely to get their attention enough to get their contact details.

And you may well not get them first time, which is why your site must also give them a reason to return unprompted.

And the reason is

Content - again.

But when they do come back, they'll really have a good look around and start to engage in the site.

And that is when you'll get the AdSense clicks

You can download your bonus keyword report from the link at the bottom of this page. As you'll learn in a moment, knowing which keywords are worth the most is an important part of maximizing your AdSense earnings
------------------------------------


First an apology: there's a bit of math ahead!

Yesterday we looked at AdWords and learnt how AdSense is Google's AdWords syndication program that posts AdWords ads on context-targeted websites:

Ads about binoculars appear on web pages with information about binoculars on them.

It makes sense doesn't it!

Today we are going to look at the factors that affect how much money you will get from Google if you sign up (and are accepted for) the AdSense program, paying detailed attention to those
areas that are controllable - because many aren't.

****************************
The AdSense revenue equation
****************************

Revenue is generated for you when someone clicks on an AdSense ad on your site. Google charges the advertiser for the click thru and shares this revenue with you.

The amount you earn from an ad is given by the following equation

Income PER AD=

Click thru price X
Fractional pay out X
Click thru rate X
Page traffic X
Appearance frequency

The CLICK THRU PRICE is the price the advertiser is bidding to place an ad under the AdWords program and is determined by a complex real time automatic auction process: Google advertisers set a maximum price they are prepared to bid for keywords and they usually pay less than this.

The FRACTIONAL PAYOUT RATE is the percentage of its revenues that Google pays out to AdSense partners. THIS FIGURE IS NOT DISCLOSED BY Google. However, anecdotal evidence suggest the payout rate is good and competitive systems such as 7search.com
payout around the 50% mark.

CLICK THRU RATE is the number of times the ad is clicked on divided by the number of times it is displayed ("impressions").

PAGE TRAFFIC is the number of times people visit your web page.

APPEARANCE FREQUENCY is the number of times a particular ad appears on your page (remember that ads are rotated by Google automatically and successful ads are shown more often.)

To repeat: this is income PER advertisement, so to calculate your total AdSense income you need to evaluate this equation for each ad on all your web pages and add up the results.

By the way, Google saves you the bother and tells you the answer.

But already the complexity of the process is apparent and of these factors, some are completely out of your control:

Fractional payout rate and Appearance frequency being two.

So let's look at those three factors that are at least
partially within your control.

****************
Click thru price
****************

The Click thru price, whilst fundamentally determined by the advertiser, CAN be influenced by the content of your website: if you can modify your site so that it includes more content
related to higher value keywords, you are more likely to get higher value click thru prices.

For example, if you run a site about Bird Watching you may get ads posted about Bird Watching books. But why not extend the site to include content about the best binoculars
for bird watchers?

Dedicate a page to this topic and you could find higher value ads running on that page because binoculars sell for more than books and businesses advertising binoculars may be
willing to pay more for keywords relating to them.

You could also run some pages about travel and hotels in exotic locations where rich bird watchers like to take their holidays.

It's all content relevant to your site but it is likely to increase your AdSense revenues too.

-----------------------------------------------------------
TECHNOLOGY NOTE
-----------------------------------------------------------

The ads you get on different pages of your site will vary according to the content of the page.

AdSense is that clever!
------------------------------------------------------------

If you've already got a site, you can get a tool from Google called the AdSense preview tool. This lets you see what sort of ads you'll get even if you haven't signed up for AdSense yet.

You can get it here
http://www.factsaboutadsense.com/adsensepreviewtool.htm?2


If you get ads that don't seem relevant there are 2 possible causes:

1) Google doesn't know what your page is about, or
2) Google has never heard of your site.

Uh-oh!

We'll discuss how you get round these problems later on.

****************************
Estimating click thru values
****************************

Visit
http://uv.bidtool.overture.com/d/search/tools/bidtool/
to find out how much keywords are being bid for on Overture, a competitor to AdWords. This will give you an INDICATION of the prices people are bidding on Google which in turn will
give you some idea about the click thru value of AdSense ads relating to those keywords.

The rule is: aim high.

Alternatively if you already have an AdWords account you can use the Keyword tool to find out the exact price of any keyword - but remember AdSense is about content, not keywords so, again, this is only going to be an indicator.

***************
Click thru rate
***************

Can you influence this?

YES.

You can. Here's how.

You use your page to sell the products and services that are likely to be shown in the ads. To follow our binocular example, if you post content about the benefits of excellent (and expensive) binoculars and how they enhance the bird watching experience, readers are going to be more
interested in buying binoculars than if you simply post content about the different types of binoculars available and they will consequently be more likely to click an ad.

http://www.factsaboutadsense.com/zeiss_binoculars.htm?2

You have to write sales copy that focuses on the generic benefits of the products and services likely to be advertised on your pages.

************
Page traffic
************

This is what web marketers fight hardest over.

No traffic means no clicks means no income. So you have to maximise the number of people visiting your site.

There are a raft of techniques available and that's tomorrows topic.

Adsense Insider

For a view day I will give presentation online Adsense Insider from William Charwood.
First here's a link to an online presentation by Google about AdSense - the system that lets website owners make money automatically.

This presentation is aimed at advertisers but it gives you some idea how seriously Google takes its AdSense program.

http://www.factsaboutadsense.com/rgooglepresentation.htm

Let's get going

AdSense is Google's syndication program for its AdWords advertisements so first up, you need to understand AdWords to make sense of AdSense.

*******
AdSense
*******

So where does AdSense come in this?

Well, Google has taken their excellent AdWords program and extended it to non-Google web sites and branded it AdSense.

***************
Key distinction
***************

However, AdSense differs from AdWords in that Google, instead of looking at the search terms entered into its search box to determine what ads to show, looks at what keywords would
be relevant to the web site the ads are to go on.

Example:

If you have a site rich in content about binoculars, AdSense technology determines that it would be an appropriate site to post AdWord ads about binoculars on. (Google uses its existing
page ranking technology to assess a site's content.)

This AdSense technology is called "content-targeting".

*******************************
How you make money with AdSense
*******************************

The process is simple.

You sign up for AdSense and if your site is accepted, (we'll cover this process later in the course) Google gives you some code to paste into your web pages. It's JavaScript stuff that you can simply add into the HTML of your page.

When someone views your page this JavaScript fetches ads from Google. If they then CLICK on your ad, Google charges the advertiser a click thru fee and shares it with you.

This is entirely AUTOMATIC so if you have a content rich site with lots of traffic that is not currently making you any money, AdSense is something you should seriously consider.

Now maximising this process is much harder and it raises what I call the content dilemma which we'll explore later too:

Is your site designed to earn AdSense revenue or is its main objective something else?


So that's the background to AdSense.

Blog Marketing is ..... ?

What is a blog?

A typical blog serves as an online journal or diary where an individual lets the world know how they think and feel about certain things. If you are a member of facebook.com, myspace.com, or any other social networking site, there's a good chance you have been writing in a blog and didn't even know it.

What is blog marketing?

Blog marketing is the use of a blog or blogs to produce traffic for the purpose of monetizing that traffic. Using a blog to market a product or merely as a means of producing online income is cheaper than using a website, a lot cheaper. This is mainly because of the availability of free blog services that are in many ways just as good as having a website you spent a boatload of money on. Because blog marketing has few barriers to entry, it is an excellent way for a beginner to get their feet wet in the Internet Marketing business.

Thanks to both the human and Search Engine demand for quality content, it's entirely possible to make serious
money from creating, promoting, and maintaining blogs. As we hope to show you, turning a blog into a cash machine is relatively inexpensive and can be done by anyone who understands the basics of marketing and the Internet.

How We Got Started With Blogs

For about as long as we can remember we've had a softspot for cold hard cash. We've always been willing to do anything (if it was legal and ethical) to get our hands on piles of cash. It was our love of the green stuff that got us interested in blogs.

While everyone we knew was writing in a blog to tell the world about their girlfriends, or boyfriends, or to express their
political discontent, we were starting a blog to see how much cash we could generate while investing a minimum amount of our own money and time. Starting a blog as a means of creating cash made perfect sense to us. After all, blogs are super easy and cheap to create, easy to customize, cheap and easy to maintain, cheap to promote, and can easily become traffic magnets because they contain quality content updated regularly by the owner.

What is quality content?

Quality content is any content that does not exist anywhere else on the web and actually provides valuable information to the reader. The more meaningful and unique the content to the reader the more traffic you will receive.

If you can keep the Search Engines and your human readers happy, you will do very well in this business. Creating
fresh, informative and regularly adding it to you blog is relatively easy, even if you're not the biggest fan of
writing.

5 Important Rules in Website Design

When it comes to your website, extra attention should be paid to every minute detail to make sure it performs optimally to serve its purpose. Here are seven important rules of thumb to observe to make sure your website performs well.

1) Do not use splash pages

Splash pages are the first pages you see when you arrive at a website. They normally have a very beautiful image with words like "welcome" or "click here to enter". In fact, they are just that -- pretty vases with no real purpose. Do not let your visitors have a reason to click on the "back" button! Give them the value of your site up front without the splash page.

2) Do not use excessive banner advertisements

Even the least net savvy people have trained themselves to ignore banner advertisements so you will be wasting valuable website real estate. Instead, provide more valueable content and weave relevant affiliate links into your content, and let your visitors feel that they want to buy instead of being pushed to buy.

3) Have a simple and clear navigation

You have to provide a simple and very straightforward navigation menu so that even a young child will know how to use it. Stay away from complicated Flash based menus or multi-tiered dropdown menus. If your visitors don't know how to navigate, they will leave your site.

4) Have a clear indication of where the user is

When visitors are deeply engrossed in browsing your site, you will want to make sure they know which part of the site they are in at that moment. That way, they will be able to browse relevant information or navigate to any section of the site easily. Don't confuse your visitors because confusion means "abandon ship"!

5) Avoid using audio on your site

If your visitor is going to stay a long time at your site, reading your content, you will want to make sure they're not annoyed by some audio looping on and on on your website. If you insist on adding audio, make sure they have some control over it -- volume or muting controls would work fine.

Obama Won 2008 US Presidential

Change has come to America, Barack Hussein Obama has won the 2008 U.S. presidential election, defeating John McCain, and will be sworn in as the first African-American to hold the nation's highest office. Obama claims historic US presidential has win.

Democrat Barack Obama captured the White House after an extraordinary two-year campaign, defeating Republican John McCain to make history as the first black to be elected U.S. president.

Obama won at least 338 Electoral College votes, far more than the 270 he needed. With results in from more than three-quarters of U.S. precincts, he led McCain by 52 percent to 47 percent in the popular vote.

A first-term Illinois senator who will now be sworn in as the 44th U.S. president on January 20, 2009, Obama said he would work to ease the country's sharp political divisions and listen to those who voted against him.

"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there," he said.

McCain's hopes for a surprise win evaporated with losses in a string of key battleground states led by the big prizes of Ohio and Florida, the states that sent Democrats to defeat in the last two elections.

McCain, a 72-year-old Arizona senator and former Vietnam War prisoner, called Obama to congratulate him and praised his rival's inspirational and precedent-shattering campaign.

"We have come to the end of a long journey," McCain told supporters. "I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him but offering our next president our goodwill."

3 Reasons Why Adsense Is Essential For Content Sites

To know why Adsense is essential for your content sites is to know first how this works.

The concept is really simple, if you think about it. The publisher or the webmaster inserts a java script into a certain website. Each time the page is accessed, the java script will pull advertisements from the Adsense program. The ads that are targeted should therefore be related to the content that is contained on the web page serving the ad. If a visitor clicks on an advertisement, the webmaster serving the ad earns a portion of the money that the advertiser is paying the search engine for the click.

The search engine is the one handling all the tracking and payments, providing an easy way for webmasters to display content-sensitive and targeted ads without having the hassle to solicit advertisers, collect funds, monitor the clicks and statistics which could be a time-consuming task in itself. It seems that there is never a shortage of advertisers in the program from which the search engine pulls the Adsense ads. Also webmasters are less concerned by the lack of information search engines are providing and are more focused in making cash from these search engines.

The first reason why Adsense is essential for content sites is because it already has come a long way in understanding the needs of publishers and webmasters. Together with its continuous progression is the appearance of more advanced system that allows full ad customization. Webmasters are given the chance to choose from many different types of text ad formats to better complement their website and fit their webpage layout.

The different formatting enables the site owners the possibility of more click through from visitors who may or may not be aware of what they are clicking on. It can also appeal to the people visiting thus make them take that next step of looking up what it is all about. This way the people behind the Adsense will get their content read and making profit in the process.

The second reason is the ability of the Adsense publishers to track not only how their sites are progressing but also the earnings based on the webmaster-defined channels. The recent improvements in the search engines gives webmasters the capability to monitor how their ads are performing using customizable reports that has the capacity to detail page impressions, clicks and click-through rates. Webmasters and publishers can now track specific ad formats, colors and pages within a website. Trends are also easily spotted.

With the real-time reporting at hand, the effectiveness of the changes made will be assessed quickly. There would be time to sort out the contents that people are making the most clicks on. The ever-changing demands would be met while generating cash for the webmasters and publishers. The more flexible tools are also allowing webmasters to group web pages by URL, domain, ad type or category, which will provide them some accurate insight on which pages, ads and domains are performing best.

The last and final reason is that the advertisers have realized the benefits associated having their ads served on targeted websites. Thus increasing the possibility that a prospective web surfer will have an interest in their product and services. All because of the content and its constant maintenance. As opposed to those who are no using Adsense in their sites, they are given the option of having other people do their content for them, giving them the benefit of having successful and money-generating web sites.

Adsense is all about targeted content, the more targeted your content is, the more target the search engines’ ads will be. There are some web masters and publishers who are focused more on their site contents and how best to maintain them rather than the cash that the ads will generate for them. This is the part where the effectiveness is working its best.

There was a time when people were not yet aware of the money to be achieved from advertisements. The cash generated only came into existence when the webmasters and publishers realized how they can make Adsense be that generator. In those days, the content were the most important factors that is taken quite seriously. It still is. With the allure of money, of course.

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 “adsense text”, 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.

How To Avoid Getting Your Adsense Account Terminated

Google, being the undisputable leader in search engines from then until now, is placing a high importance on the quality and relevancy of its search engines. Most especially now that the company is public property. In order to keep the shareholders and users of its engines happy, the quality of the returned results are given extreme importance.

For this same reason, doing the wrong things in the Adsense and other forms of advertisements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in a severe penalty, may get you banned and even have your account terminated. Nothing like a good action taken to keep wrongdoers from doing the same things over again.

So for those who are thinking of getting a career in Adsense, do not just think of the strategies you will be using to generate more earnings. Consider some things first before you actually get involved.

Hidden texts. Filling your advertisement page with texts to small to read, has the same color as the background and using css for the sole purpose of loading them with rich keywords content and copy will earn you a penalty award that is given to those who are hiding links.

Page cloaking. There is a common practice of using browser or bot sniffers to serve the bots of a different page other than the page your visitors will see. Loading a page with a bot that a human user will never see is a definite no-no. This is tricking them to click on something that you want but they may not want to go to.

Multiple submissions. Submitting multiple copies of your domain and pages is another thing to stay away from. For example, trying to submit a URL of an Adsense as two separate URL’s is the same as inviting trouble and even termination. Likewise, this is a reason to avoid auto submitters for those who are receiving submissions. Better check first if your domain is submitted already an a certain search engine before you try to submit to it again. If you see it there, then move on. No point contemplating whether to try and submit there again.

Link farms. Be wary of who and what are you linking your Adsense to. The search engines know that you cannot control your links in. But you can certainly control what you link to. Link farming has always been a rotten apple in the eyes of search engines, especially Google. That is reason enough to try and avoid them. Having a link higher than 100 on a single page will classify you as a link farm so try and not to make them higher than that.

Page rank for sale. If you have been online for quite some time, you will notice that there are some sites selling their PR links or trading them with other sites. If you are doing this, expect a ban anytime in the future. It is okay to sell ads or gain the link. But doing it on direct advertisement of your page rank is a way to get on search engines bad side.

Doorways. This is similar to cloaking pages. The common practice of a page loaded with choice keyword ads aimed at redirecting visitors to another “user-friendly” page is a big issue among search engines. There are many seo firms offering this kind of services. Now that you know what they actually are, try to avoid them at all costs.

Multiple domains having the same content. In case you are not aware of it, search engines look at domains IP’s, registry dates and many others. Having multiple domains having the same exact content is not something you can hide from them. The same goes with content multiplied many times on separate pages, sub domains and forwarding multiple domains to the same content.

Many of the above techniques apply to most search engines and is not entirely for Google only. By having a mind set that you are building your Adsense together with your pages for the human users and not for bots, you can be assured of the great things for your ads and sites.

Not to mention avoiding the wrath of the search engines and getting your Adsense and site account terminated altogether.

Don't Get Caught With Google Adsense Click Fraud

Many web site owners are getting their Google Adsense account terminated when they have done nothing wrong to deserve the punishment. Considering the money that they are getting from Adsense, they would certainly want to get back into it.

Considering the money to be made with Adsense, it is no wonder that they would want to get back into it.

It is that same consideration why the Google Adsense click fraud is thought of and why many people are getting into it.

Click fraud is the act of clicking on ads for the purpose of costing the advertiser money. It is simply the same as paying out cash for false leads. Many people website owners are aware of this fraud and are sharing the same sentiment that this is the one big problem that Adsense is facing.

How do you prevent being involved in this fraud?

Majority of web hosts are offering access logs. Once this is offered to you, it is necessary that you hand it over to Google as well. This allows them to look for any suspicious activity on your site. Problems like this are very serious and giving it to them is saying that you would want to help them in any way you can in solving the problem.

It can also help if you have a click monitoring software. If you do not have one yet, you should try and get one. There is absolutely no major factor preventing you from having one because most of this software is free.

As usual, all the information you have received should be turned over to Google. This is showing Google that you too are fighting against click frauds and is in no way a part of it.

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.

Keep your Adsense off on pop ups and pop unders. Your ads should not be displayed on content sites that promote illegal activity or tampering of the legal rights of other people or business. Included in this are the content that is considered adult and gambling ones. If you think that you may be breaking this rule, immediately remove your content or Adsense from the web page.

Be truthful and confess up to Google about times when you might have clicked on your own as, whether accidentally or intentionally. Or the times when you have done something that is against the Terms of Service that they are implementing. Be honest about anything that you may have done that is wrong. Confessing is way better than Google learning about it eventually. It would mean eventual termination and no getting back what you have worked so hard for.

Do not tell your family or friends about Adsense on your website. Chances are they may start clicking on them to help you make money without you knowing it. They may be doing more harm to you than help by trying it in the first place.

If ever someone you know chanced upon your Adsense, make sure they understand that they cannot click on your ads under any circumstances. It would be wise to brief them on important things about Adsense and what not to do with them.

Most pay per click networks have different measures in hand to protect website owners against click frauds. Other search engines can track more than 50 data points, IP address, browser’s information, user’s session info and pattern recognition. They also have “systems” available that detects fraud. Not to mention the specialized teams monitoring how things are going and helping advertisers stop click frauds.

Google offers suggestion on how to avoid click fraud. Using “negative keywords” can be used to keep your Adsense showing on products and services that are in no way related to yours. Adding tracking URLs to your links so you can track the traffic coming from Google.

Do not be caught in the Google click fraud. Be aware and be wary.

Google Adsense - The Easiest Money To Make Online?

For the last couple of months, Google Adsense has dominated forums, discussions and newsletters all over the Internet. Already, there are tales of fabulous riches to be made and millions made by those who are just working from home. It seems that Google Adsense have already dominated the internet marketing business and is now considered the easiest way to making money online.

The key to success with Adsense is the placing of ads on pages that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords. The higher the cost-per-click to the advertiser, the more you will receive per click from your site. Obviously, it does not pay to target low cost-per-click keywords and place them on pages that do not receive hits.

With all the people getting online and clicking away everyday, it is no wonder why Google Adsense has become an instant hit.

For some who are just new to this market, it would be a blow to their pride knowing that their homepage is buried somewhere in the little ads promoting other people’s services. But then, when they get the idea that they are actually earning more money that way, all doubts and skepticism is laid to rest.

There are two major, and clever, factors that some successful webmaster and publishers are learning to blend together in order to make money easier using Adsense.

1. Targeting high traffic pages on your website. If you check on your logs, you will discover that many of your visitors are taking advantage of the free affiliate marketing resources and ebooks that you are offering on your site. In simple words, your ads are working effectively and are generating more clicks. It also means more money for you.

2. Placing Adsense links on pages that are producing little, or better yet, no profit. By placing Adsense on a free resources page, you will reduce the amount of potential customers being lost to other sites. Tricky, but effective nonetheless.

When learned to work effectively, these two factors are actually a good source of producing a minimal amount of revenue from a high traffic page. Many people are using this strategy to pick up some extra and cash with Adsense. This is also especially rewarding to informational sites that focus their efforts on delivering powerful affiliate link free content to their visitors. Now they can gain a monetary return on their services.

With the many techniques that people are now learning on how to make the easiest money by their Adsense, it is not surprising that Google is trying everything to update and polish their Adsense in order to maintain their good image.

The possibility of adding is 2nd tier in Adsense is not impossible. With all the people spending more time in their Adsense now and still more getting into this line of marketing, there is no doubt about the many new improvements yet to be made. Imagine the smiles on the faces of the webmasters and publishers all around the world if ever they sign up for sub-affiliates and double or even triple the amount that they are already earning.
The one particularly handy money-making feature that is available with Adsense now is the ability to filter out up to 200 urls. These gives webmasters the option to block out low value offers from their pages as well as competitors to their websites. Talk about taking only those that are advantageous and discarding the ones that seem “useless”.

With Google Adsense, the possibilities are limitless. Yet there is also the possibility of someone taking advantage of the easy money process that this internet marketing is doing. If you think more about it, these negative factors may force Google to break down and thrash Adsense in the process. If that happens, people would have to go back to the old ways of internet marketing that does not make money online as easy as Adsense.

For now, however, Google Adsense is here to stay. As long as there are people wanting to earn some easy cash online just using their talents, the future ahead is looking good. Besides with all the strict guidelines that Google is enforcing over Adsense, it will take awhile for the Adsense privileges to be spammed and even terminated.

Put links on top and sometimes on the bottom too. This is how you go about testing which ones get more clicks and which ones are being ignored.

Let the testing begin. Testing and tracking until you find the site navigation style that works best for you site.
