10 Ways to Better AdSense Earnings

You can make lots of money monetizing your blog with AdSense if you have quality content, the right keywords, and the right AdSense ad layout. Many people complain they can't make money with AdSense or that it cheapens their site. I will show it how it will not only increase the value of your site, but how it will start building you monthly income!
I monetize my web sites and blogs in many different ways. I see many web sites missing out when it comes to non-invasive ways to monetize your web site or blog, and they don't have to be ways in which you anger your visitors. In fact - good monetization will always compliment your web site, not "cheapen" it. I have also read many articles that debate when to monetize, and there are still some hold-outs that say build up traffic on a site first and then monetize once it gets to a certain level. I'm sorry - that's just BS in my book, and I have the experience to back it up. Monetize your web site from day 1 - PERIOD!
Why? Every post and page is an opportunity to make money. Making money with a web site is like planting a garden. Why would you want to keep plowing the field for 6 months and and keep waiting to plant the seeds? Also monetization is marketing, and marketing takes time and skill. Yes - skill. The more you do it the better you become, so do it from day #1.
Making money online is like a sport or a professional trade.

Today we're going to talk about monetizing your web site with Google AdSense. If you're already using Google AdSense - read this article anyway and learn how to make more money using AdSense. Click the banner above to join AdSense if you haven't already. By signing up with AdSense you can build code snippets and place ads on your web site.
AdSense Myths:
To make any money you need thousands of visitors per day
Ads will make a percentage of your visitors leave and not come back
AdSense cheapens the look of your web site
You would be surprised how much more money you could be making with some very basic and simple changes to your web site. Think about how much you could be making per day. Just $1 per day is $30 per month, which should more than pay for most basic hosting plans (and then some). Only $5 per day and you're making $150 per month, $10 per day is $300/mo. It adds up quicker than you think. Especially if you have more than one blog or web site to monetize.
AdSense Facts:
You can make $1-$3 a day on as little as 20-30 visitors per day
A percentage of your visitors quickly leave anyway (the bounce rate) - you can make money on that dead traffic
AdSense is so targeted that it's less of an intrusion and more of a service compared to other ads
The first thing you need to understand is where the ads come from. AdSense is fed by Google's other product AdWords. If you haven't used AdWords before - it's where you can pay to drive traffic to your web site - you "pay per click". In the AdWords marketplace - people "bid over keywords". The more competition there is for a keyword, the more it costs and the highest bidder wins the top slot, the next bidder the next slot, and so on. For example it may cost 50 cents per click to get the keyword "designer handbag", but I bet you can get "clay flowerpot" for under a nickel. It's all about supply and demand. The most searched for terms are fought over pretty fiercely. Once keywords are purchased, the AdSense algorithm places the actual ads on web sites - matching them up with keywords and content on web pages. The algorithm is pretty amazing, and in most case will be serving highly target ads to your web site within minutes. If the ads are way off target or inappropriate - you need to re-think your web site setup.
So once a keyword is purchased and an ad is written - it's matched up with a highly targeted web page where it should perform well. It doesn't matter how "busy" or popular that web site is, well performing and paying ads are placed on appropriate pages getting from a dozen to thousands of visitors per day. If you are using high paying keywords in your web site content, you will attract high paying ads. Did you understand that statement? Go back and read it two more times and think about it a minute.
That's right - the key to making money in AdSense is attracting well paying ads. If I have a web site that gets only 30 visitors per day, and 3 per day click an AdSense ad paying 35-50 cents, I can easily make $1 per day from this very low-traffic web site. Of course everyone wants to get more than 30 visitor per day, but all sites have to start somewhere. I'm illustrating how easy it is to make money from day #1. I do this in nearly all the sites I setup. Many of you that have used AdSense for a long time won't believe it, because in my example my AdSense clicks pay extremely high and the click-through-rate (CTR) is 10%. Most sites are lucky to get a 2-3% CTR on AdSense ads, and the clicks usually pay a nickel or less on average.
I said earlier that if you received off target ads your blog or web site layout was possibly not "AdSense optimized". If you want to attract high paying ads and make the most AdSense revenue possible from your existing traffic - I'll give you some very simple rules to follow when writing articles, pages, and posts. If you follow these very basic rules you will not only get more revenue per click with AdSense, but (in the long run) you will also get more visitors, and better search engine listings.
Top 10 Ways To Make More Money from AdSense Using Keywords
Obtain a URL with very important keywords in your niche: I can't say enough about this. The #1 reason I have so many domains is because when you build a niche site if the domain has your top 2 or 3 keywords in it - you immediately start getting traffic from post #1. This is very important.
Use permalinks, pretty URL's, etc: This is second most important whether you are using Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, Mambo, or whatever. As soon as you setup your software turn on permalinks, pretty URL's, or whatever it's called so you posts have "site.com/this-is-my-post". Having great keywords in the URL past the top level domain name is only second to keywords in the domain name itself.
Find the Best Keywords and Phrases: DO YOUR RESEARCH! Find out how to do keyword research. If you don't know what the best keywords for your niche are - there really isn't much point reading any farther than this...
Create a Great Title: When you write a post the title controls much more than you think. Everyday I read great articles with crappy titles. With every title you need to be thinking of using keywords that will be searched for while linkbaiting a title enticing people to click. This can be harder than it sounds, because the best titles are 6-8 words or less. I've gotten better at this over time, but it's just practice, practice, practice to become a master at it!
Have an H1 Title first: Wordpress natively takes your html post title tag and puts it into an H1 tag as the textual title on the post's web page. If you use another CMS like Drupal, Joomla, Mambo, or something else make sure your Content Management System does the same. Keywords in header tags (especially the first header of the page) carry much more weight than laster in the content areas.
Start with a Synopsis Paragraph: Unless you are writing custom meta description tags for every single page the most important area of any post or page after the title is that first paragraph. This paragraph ultimately becomes your description under you title link in search engine results pages. You want to stick to 2 or 3 sentences when possible, or at least place your important keywords there. Remember - what you type will not only determine how well this page comes up in search results, but also how your page is described and why people click!
Bold important keywords as you write: As you write your post or article bold keywords and phrases when you are making points. These keywords, combined with your title and synopsis help target ads (and traffic!).
Link relevant sources: This is a given, but should be mentioned. Be sure to link only relevant items in your post - it helps target everything.
Organize sections using h3 and h4 headings: Using h3 and h4 headers in longer pages and posts is a great way to "sub-title" the page with even more targeted keywords. It's also easier to organize information (and for more people to follow and read).
Use keyword laden categories and tags: Just before you publish that page or post, be sure to use great keywords to both categorize and tag it.
Now back to the AdSense ads themselves. First - if you are brand new to AdSense, be sure to visit the newly created AdSense official newbie help at Google and get all the free information that you can. Second you want to get the code for the AdSense ads necessary for placement on your web site. I want you to view the Google heat map (you can find it in the newbie help link). This picture illustrates where a visitor's eyes go first, and where you would get the most clicks. Do you see how the reddest spot on the page is directly above the content? I want you to understand that if you could only place one AdSense ad per page - it should be directly above you content. In addition, the highest paying and best performing AdSense ad is 336x280 large rectangle.
So you're ready to place that ad? Not so quick - you need to "blend" it into the look and feel of your page. When you create it in AdSense setup make the background color the same as where it will be placed on your page. Make the font color and size the same, make the link colors the same too. I personally would never use video ads for any reason - only text. My reasoning on this is that in a 336x280 text ad you normally get 4 text ads, and that's 4 chances to make money. If a video takes up the entire 336x280 block - it's only 1 chance to make money, and it's images and video that can be intrusive to many visitors. IMHO - you would need some type of pop-culture (music, movie, celebrity, joke, media based) web site to be successful with image or video ads. Place one 336x280 AdSense ad directly before your content and one directly after. If you use Google analytics to track your web site - you many already be aware of your "bounce rate". When people come to your site, and quickly leave because they didn't find what they wanted they "bounce". To me a bounce rate of 20-30% is normal. Over 50% is incredibly high.
If you've placed the 336x280 blocks before and after the content your are placing highly targeted ads to soak up your bounce rate. In other words - if 20-30% of my customers are going to leave my site quickly anyway to find what they want - I'd prefer that they click on one of my AdSense ads to find it. I help them find what they need, and I get a "referral fee" for the click. Also visitors that stay awhile on my site many click an ad because they're in the same niche. It's like being in the library and finding the book you need, but seeing others on the same shelf you might also like.
Beyond the two mandatory AdSense blocks I use before and after the content - I often also add a 4 text link unit in a sidebar or a 160x600 skyscraper. How you feel about this is up to you and your layout. If you have other ads or sidebar content that could be earning money - it might be better placed there. But if all you have is the latest posts and some categories - these types of AdSense ads can help you not "leave any money on the table". That means - you might only make a few extra pennies or nickels per day - but if that money was just laying on the table would you just leave it there? Probably not. It adds up over time. Again - especially if you are monetizing multiple web sites.
I learned this term (money on the table) from Joel Comm, whose AdSense eBook I read a few years back just after setting up my AdSense account for the first time. For the first 6-7 months I used AdSense I made no money at all. After I read Joel's book I quadrupled my CTR and went from making pennies per day overnight to $3-$5. One month after reading that eBook I received my first ever Google AdSense check, and I've received one every month since.
So - if your web site or blog consistently using my techniques above you should have no problem earning more money from AdSense. A lot of times you read a great article like this and you wonder how successful it was for the author. Well, it worked for me - last year I made more than $10,000 from AdSense on just a few web sites...

Building Multiple AdSense Websites

Have you thinking about building an AdSense website to generate revenue? If so, you may be concerned about the relatively small amount of money that you will earn from each AdSense click. It's true that each individual click will not earn you a great deal of money - in order to build a substantial revenue from AdSense, you need to have a high volume of traffic, so that you will get a high number of clicks.
One of the best ways to generate substantial revenue from AdSense is to build multiple websites to display your AdSense ads. You can set up ads on multiple websites from the same Adsense account, so that you can make money from more than one source.
Of course, building multiple websites will take quite a bit of work - you'll have to take the time to design each website, and create unique content for each one so that all of your websites will rank well on Google and other search engines. However, this can be a great way to build a substantial income from Adsense. Some Internet marketers are even able to make a living off of Adsense revenue using this method.
If you want to create multiple websites for Adsense revenue, it is a good idea to make sure your websites contain content on similar topics. This will save you quite a bit of research time, since you can use the same research for each website. Also, if you use pay per click marketing, you can use the same keywords to target multiple websites, so that you don't have to pay higher amounts for pay per click marketing. You simply find keywords that have a low maximum bid on pay per click programs, and integrate those same keywords into each of your ads.
You can also use the same basic design for each Adsense website, which will save you a substantial amount of time in designing each individual website. If you want to save even more time, you can use a website template for building your sites. There are many websites available that offer free or low-cost templates that you can download and use to make your website building process much quicker.
Of course, you will want to make sure that you do not use the exact same content for multiple websites. Google frowns upon duplicate content, and may penalize all of your websites in its search engine rankings if you use this strategy. So even if you write about similar topics, make sure that you change at least 30 percent of the words so that your sites are not penalized.
Building multiple Adsense websites can be a great way to maximize your Internet revenue. If you follow these tips, you can use this strategy to build a substantial income while providing relevant, useful information to your readers. If you build enough websites, you may even be able to earn your entire income through multiple Adsense websites.

Exactly How To Become A Successful Pay Per Click Affiliate

One of the original internet marketing methods, pay-per-click advertising is still one of the most popular forms of promoting a product or a service due, in large part, to the emergence of Google AdSense. Many marketers have discovered the large paydays that can be had if they become a successful pay per click affiliate.
Becoming a pay per click affiliate is actually very easy. The first step is to sign up for a pay-per-click program like AdSense. Once you sign up as a pay per click affiliate, the work begins. If you want to become a successful pay per click affiliate, there are numerous steps you must take:
Step One: Design a Web site on which you will display your pay per click advertisements. Most internet marketing experts recommend having only a few pay per click ads per page, preferably on the right-hand side of the page. You can also embed hyperlinks in the content on your Web site. Oftentimes, embedding links to the pay per click ad is the most popular way to go because it's also the most unobtrusive method of having pay per click ads on a Web site.
Step Two: To succeed as a pay per click affiliate, you must create a content rich Web site and regularly update it. Research topics in your niche, and those that are related to the ads on your Web site, and write relevant content that will be useful to your visitors.
Make sure you use keywords in your content, but don't use so many keywords that your articles become stilted and difficult to read. To determine the best keywords for your content, use a keyword tool like Overture or Word Tracker. Generally, you can use a free version of such tools, but there are premier versions that come with a fee.
Step Three: Drive traffic to your Web site. As a pay per click affiliate, you must drive traffic to your Web site, so that visitors can click on your ads. There are a multitude of methods you can use to drive traffic to your Web site, including article marketing, posting on forums in your niche, blogging, social bookmarking, and creating a lens at Squidoo.
That's it: It may come in three easy steps, but realize you do have to work to create a worthwhile site. The one key to your success as a pay per click affiliate is to be proactive. Don't just throw up a Web site with some Google AdSense ads on it, drop some content on the site, and be done with it. You must consistently build your Web site and pack it with valuable content, so your visitors will return again and again.

Brutally Effective AdSense Secrets That Will Automatically Create A 6-Figure Income

Google AdSense is one of the easiest ways that you can start making money online. I remember when I first started out I was not especially good at copywriting so I found it extremely difficult to make money from affiliate programs or selling my own products.
When AdSense was launched I added the code to my html on my sites and I was earning thousands of dollars on autopilot without building email lists or selling any products. Let's face it to sell products online requires skills which many newbie marketers do not have.
In this article I would like to go over the core strategies that you need to follow to build a six figure AdSense business.
1) Create large content sites
I accidentally discovered this formula. When I first started out I did not intentionally plan to create a large website. I built my website around my niche market and created a way for my users to upload their own content. To this very day the site keeps on growing and the traffic increases as users add more content. Let's face it to generate a lot of money from Google AdSense you need a big site with hundreds or thousands of pages that attract free search engine traffic. If you do all the content yourself it will take a lot of your time or it will cost a substantial amount of money.
2) Position your adverts for maximum click through rate
Each AdSense performs differently, it is up to you to test different configurations that will maximize your earnings. I found that by positioning my adverts above the fold I was able to maximize my click through rate. Also using a white background and blue text for the hyperlinks increased conversion.
3) Rinse and repeat
Many internet markets throw all their eggs in one baskets. Look for niche markets that are small with very little competition. Build an AdSense site for this and even if you only earn $2,000 a year from this if you build 50 websites you can easily be earning $100,000 a year on autopilot.
Are you really interested in driving massive traffic to your website?

Your AdSense Statistics - How To Understand and Calculate Them

Ok - so you've got a great content web site and you've decided to monetize it with Google AdSense. You place the AdSense Code on your web site and immediately start getting clicks.
Soon after, you decide to visit your account to see just how much money you've made. You get there to view your reports and then - Bamm! It hits you. Just what the heck do all those numbers mean anyway?
Well, worry not my fellow net entrepreneurs. Below is a quick breakdown of those numbers and what they mean in layman's terms.
Page Impressions
Your Page Impressions are simply the number of times your web pages are viewed. Of course, this number only refers to those pages that contain your code for AdSense.
Think of one impression as a display - every single time your web pages are displayed, your impressions go up. It's the same thing. In terms of money, the more impressions or displays you get, the higher the chance you have of making more money.
Clicks
This is the actual number of times that your ads are clicked upon. Thus, each time a visitor to your site clicks on one of your ads, it is recorded as a Click.
Every Page Impression you receive is an opportunity for one of your ads to get clicked. In terms of money, the more Clicks you get - the more money you can make with AdSense.
Page CTR
Your Page CTR refers to your web page's Click Through Rate. Your Page's CTR, or Click Through Rate, is the ratio of the number of Clicks you receive versus the number of your Page Impressions. The number is expressed in a percentage and is calculated by taking your Page Impressions and dividing them by your Clicks (# of Clicks / # of Page Impressions).
For example, if you have 2000 Page Impressions and received 400 Clicks, your Page CTR would be 20%. Now for you math wizards out there; once you have your CTR, you can pretty much figure out your Impressions and Clicks by using some simple mathematics.
Thus, you can figure out your Page Impressions by taking the number of Clicks and dividing it over your CTR (i.e.: # Clicks / CTR%). You can figure out your number of Clicks by taking your Page Impressions and multiplying it by your CTR (i.e.: # Impressions x CTR%).
Ok, moving on...
Page eCPM
This is where things start getting interesting.
Your Page eCPM refers to your Effective (the "e") Cost Per Thousand Impressions (the "CPM"). Yes, I know. "CPM" is not quite an accurate English acronym for "Cost Per Thousand Impressions". The reason is because the acronym uses the Latin for "Thousand"; i.e.: "MIL".
Anyway, Google defines your eCPM for AdSense as "...a useful way to compare revenue across different channels and advertising programs". I won't stray from that definition, however, there might be a better way for you to understand this number. Let me put it to you this way: basically, by the time you reach 1000 Page Impressions, you would have earned the amount stated in the eCPM. Got it?
You calculate the eCPM by taking your earnings and dividing it by the number of Page Impressions you receive in Thousands (i.e.: $Earnings / (Page Impressions / 1000))
To get a good understanding of your eCPM, allow me to illustrate how it's calculated.
Let's say you earned $250 and got 15,000 Page Impressions. Taking the 15,000 and dividing that by 1000 you get 15. Now, taking your $250 in earnings and dividing that by 15 you get $16.67. Thus, your eCPM is $16.67.
Now, remember earlier that I said that by the time you got 1000 Page Impressions you'd earn the amount in your eCPM. Well, if you do a little math, you'd see that for every 1000 impressions you received, you earned the amount in your eCPM ($16.67 x 15 = $250.05).
Earnings
Of all the numbers you'll see in your AdSense account, this by far, is the most fun and easiest to understand. Your Earnings are just that: what you've earned with AdSense. It's how much money you get to put in your pocket. Now, doesn't that sound nice?
But wait. We're not out of the wood just yet.
There is still one more number you need to know about that they don't show in your AdSense account: your Earnings Per Click.
Earnings Per Click
Your Earnings Per Click or EPC is simply the average amount of money you make per Click you receive. It's calculated by taking your Earnings and dividing it by the number of Clicks you get.
For example, if you earn $250 and you received a total of 500 Clicks, then your EPC would be $.50 per Click.
There you have it folks: a quick and easy to understand guide on Google AdSense Statistics. And now that you understand them, your next goal should be to earn more money.

Pay Per Action Takes Over Pay Per Click

This September Google officially introduced the new wave of SEM (Search Engine Marketing). There has been much said about this new feature known to Adwords users as the "conversion optimizer feature". Previously Google have been using a straight forward Pay Per Click (PPC) system, which they themselves created. PPC ads, also known as sponsored links, are found on a search engine's search results. For instance, when you go to google and type in San Diego Website Design, numerous sections of search results are on the screen. At the very top of the screen there is a map with business listing. This list is a service for those businesses that have accounts with Google. Below that is a list beginning with Appeal Media's Listing (shameless plug!). These are known as organic listings. Advertisers can not pay to be listed organically. It is a very complex system which is based on parameters such as relevancy and popularity. On the right hand side of the screen are the sponsored links. Sponsored links (PPC) are not listings, but clever advertisements that are being paid for.
The Pay Per system works on keywords. Keywords are the words people actually type in the search engine to look, such as San Diego Website Design. This would technically be a keyword phrase; San Diego, Website, and Design. The advertisers will competitively bid on keywords with their competition. This type of advertising takes constant maintenance as the cost of keyword rise and rise. The magnanimous techies at Google saw the problems popping up, such as inflation, with the once golden PPC system and decided to evolve. Other problems noted are ad clutter and fraud. PPC is currently plagued with issues as it comes down from its peak. This situation had to be remedied for the sake of the discontented advertisers and anxious publishers. The solution is PPA.
PPA ( Pay Per Acquisition or Pay Per Action) is a new type of advertising online that is conversion specific and garnering global support from advertisers. As usual, Google has broken ground on this and is offering it to their current Adwords Advertisers as an option for their existing account. E-bay is also doing something similiar with their advertising. There are a lot of fancy words to explain something so simple. Broken down into layman's terms it is not so daunting.
Showdown : PPA vs. PPC
* Pay Per Click advertisers pay per impression or click. (Not necessarily results driven)
* Pay Per Action advertisers pay only when an "actionable task" happens.
o An actionable task is something you want to get from your cutomers to benefit and/or grow your business. Google Adwords lists action options as purchase/sale, lead (new contact), sign-up (subscription), views of keypage, and 'other' (be creative).
* PPC rates based on keywords rate. Keyword rates have risen with the surge of online business competetion. And then you still have to rely on yourself for conversions!
* PPA rates are based on actions that directly benefit your business. Prices are not unreasonable for small to mid-size businesses.
* PPC cost risk is on the advertiser.
* PPA cost risk is on the ad publisher.
It would be highly beneficial as an advertiser to jump on the bandwagon with this latest and greatest care of Google. It is a rare thing for a publisher to put their money where their mouth is and garner the brunt of a possible loss. Iit is unlikely that a loss would happen for Google or Ebay with their quantum growth patterns. This is still a one of a kind opportunity for businesses to get the most bang for your buck and not to stress as much about return on investment.

How Does The Pay Per Play Program Work?

Before we discuss The Pay Per Play program we need to understand its predecessors, Pay per click and Adsense. There have been many advertising methods invented for the internet because of its user interaction with the target audience. Lets face it, pay per click would not have been possible offline. This interaction between the target audience and the service provider or product developer is very advantageous.
Automation also gave this advertising medium more appeal to the providers who were faced with running a small staffed company with over a million customers. This automation allowed the ads to be quite targeted to the browser depending on IP address and website content which the browser was trying to read.
The ads were not suppose to be obstructive to the website visitor and offer more information to them after they have read most of the content on the webpage.
The first draw backs to Adsense and Pay per click was the website visitor had to click on one of the adverts for the publisher (website owner displaying the advert) to earn any revenue. The second draw back was that the ad drew the visitor away from the publishers website and frequently ended up with an fed up website visitor who would never return to the original publisher unless there was great content or cash incentives.
This worked well for the advertiser and not for the publisher who was giving away high volume traffic for a small remuneration per person.
These problems were tackled when developing the Pay per play program. Pay per play is what the website publisher was looking for when they signed up for Adsense adverts since their inception. The publishers desperately need targeted, professional adverts that did not hand over their traffic for peanuts and irritate their website visitors. It used to be a big factor where the adsense was located on the publishers website to improve conversion rate to 20 percent (meaning for every 5 visitors only 1 may click on one of the Adsense links); but now it will be moot.
Good content guaranteed repeat visits and possible higher Adsense click conversion rate. But it was not scientific by any stretch of the imagination. With pay per play this hurdle is obliterated by starting the advert each time the website is uploaded. This translates to 100% conversion.
Ten thousand visitors will generate ten thousand 5 second audio plays which the publisher claims 25% directly from the advertising budget of that month. It is quite simple but the implications are very lucrative.
For example in the past to calculate the advertising revenue needed to pay for more visitors; the publisher would have had to factor in the current conversion rate of his visitors into all his calculations. This rate was only more accurate after trial and error, very expensive trial and error.
After arriving at an average rate of 20% (very high) conversion the publisher would know that buying an extra 10 000 visitors to his website about 2000 visitors may click one of the adsense ads earning him advertising revenue. This made paying for traffic very costly and tricky without testing, unlimited funding and patience.
These 2000 people who acted by clicking on the adsense would have also been ideal candidates to buy or sign up for a newsletter. But unfortunately they were lead away to over websites with very little hope of returning.
Now with pay per play the publisher would still have a chance to sell his own product, service or affiliate product to the visitor who has already generated him revenue just by arriving at his website.
The possibilities are endless because this program promises to become yet another billion dollar advertising industry like its predecessors.

Bleeding Edge AdSense Secrets - How To Create A Million Dollar Empire

Google AdSense is one of the most lucrative ways that you can start an internet business. With the conventional route you need to be very good at selling to make money.
Unfortunately, this is the big stumbling block for most internet marketers. You need to be very good with direct response marketing. This means generating leads, preselling and using very good copy to finally get the sale. The learning curve for this is extremely steep.
With AdSense you literally can earn your first $100 in the first 30 days. This is the method that I suggest you use to do this. Find different niche markets that interest you. Once you have decided on this you can start setting up your blog. If you are a newbie I recommend you go for the free Blogger software. Alternatively if you are more experienced you may want to go for the more powerful Wordpress option.
Once you have set your blogs up you need to update them with lots of original content. Content is king on the internet. Also the larger your website is the more targeted free search engine traffic that you will get.
Now this is the crucial part that will determine if you will make a lot of money from AdSense. You need to acquire a lot of quality one way links to your website to do this. This is very important for search engines as they use this to determine the quality and ranking of your website. Submit your sites to all the major directories. Submit your blog posts to carnivals and web 2 sites like Digg. You can also write articles and submit them to the major article directories including a link to your website in your bio.

Your Blog's Google AdSense Does Not Like BigMacs

Fast Food, processed food, what ever it is, the fact is that your body does not function as well as it could when you fuel yourself with cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets. And here is an interesting fact: Google Adsense does not thrive on Quarter Pounders with Cheese.
What am I talking about?
There are two very popular ways to draw traffic to your website. The first is through search engines and the second is through social networking sites. Getting traffic from social networking sites is the fast food of traffic; it tastes really good, but in the long run it doesn't do your Google AdSense Earnings any good.
The fact is that people who use social networking sites are generally experienced in most things internet related, and as such most of them will not even see your Google AdSense ads, or if they do see them they will not click on them. People that come from search engines (or organic traffic) are generally looking for something specific, are less web savvy, and more likely to click on your Google AdSense ads.
If you are planning to monetize your website or blog with Google AdSense you should focus your efforts on getting search engine traffic as opposed to social networking sites. It's like fast food versus organic food. Fast food is great tasting but does nothing for your body except fill you up for a while. Social networking traffic is the same, your stats may look good but, there will be very few clicks on your ads. Search engine traffic is like trying to eat healthy, it's a little bit harder, but pays off in the long run
Start treating your website or blog like your body, and give it organic food/traffic and you will see an increase in your Google AdSense CTR and earnings.

Google AdSense - A Quick Way For College Students to Make Money?

Have you ever surfed a website and wondered where those small ads come from? No matter where you go on the net, it just seems that they follow you around and know exactly what you are looking for. Well, these ads come from Google, and are part of a program called AdSense. This program allows any web site or blog to make money from the placement of ads on their site. Though this may sound complex, this is one of the easiest ways for any college student to make money on the internet.
If you are like most web surfers, you are easily deterred by pop-up and banner ads. They just seem to ruin the entire web experience. Google AdSense goes above and beyond any regular banner ad. It automatically crawls your website or blog and finds ads that are relevant to what your visitor is looking for. The ads are much smaller, less threatening, and able to achieve much more with less space.
So, what does this mean to a student, you might ask. Well, with the arrival of the 21st century, classes have become much more technological in how materials and assignments are delivered. With the adoption of more virtual classroom environments, the creation of a website or blog has transitioned from a part-time hobby to an absolute necessity. College students can easily make money placing ads on their site.
Website creation has become a lot more mainstream that it was ten years ago. Sites are created every day, showcasing millions of different topics and talents. If you don't have money for hosting, then no worries. There are free hosting sites available everywhere, such as synthasite.com or weebly.com. If you do have the $10-20 a month for hosting but just don't have any design talents, no problem. Most hosting sites have their own design wizards for easy creation. Or, worst case scenario, you don't have anything to write about. No problem. Simply, create an opinion blog from sites such as blogger.com. Everyone loves opinion blogs; you can literally write about anything!
To start making money from your site, navigate to Google and look for their Advertising programs; located at the bottom of their site. Choose the AdSense program, and enter all the required website and personal information, and you are done. Google AdSense makes it very easy to choose the types of ads you would like to display and offers plenty of tutorials on how to post them on your site. Once you are done posting ads to your site, just let the money roll in.
It is very important that you avoid clicking into your own ads. Although this might seem innocent; to Google, it is considered "click fraud" and will likely get you thrown out of their AdSense program. Google is very good at tracking this type of fraud, and getting caught is inevitable. Instead, try building some free traffic to your site using bookmark sites such as Stumble or del.icio.us. Once people start visiting your site, you should start seeing the fruits to your effort.
Google pays at the end of each month, so once your balance reaches $100, you will receive payment. Google prefers EFT direct deposit payments, but will gladly send you a check. While no one gets rich from this program, AdSense can give a nice steady part-time paycheck for a starving college student looking to make some extra money. With the right amount of creativity and a bit of work, AdSense is definitely one of the best ways to make money on the internet.

Getting the Most Out of Google AdSense - Choosing the Right Colors and Placement

Color As well as choosing the right type of ad unit, you also need to make sure that you choose the right colors for your ad units.
The key is to make the text and background used in your ad units look like the normal content on your web pages, so that they blend in and do not look like adverts. The text in the ad units needs to look the same as the other text on the page, and the background color of the ad unit needs to be the same as the background color used on your web pages.
Blue is the best color to use for links because web site visitors are used to clicking on links of this color.
Also, in general avoid using borders around the adverts, as these will tend to make the ad units look like adverts, which is not what you want.
Placement Do not place ad units where no one will see them. Identify the parts of your site where visitors go, and place your adverts there. Let your ad units follow the natural flow taken by visitors to your site.
Try to place your adverts in the top part of the screen - the part that is visible before visitors scroll down the page. Visitors are much more likely to click links placed towards the top of web pages.
ConclusionBlend your adverts into your web pages so that they look like normal web page content. Always think about the color of titles, text and background.

You Can Increase Your AdSense Earnings - Quit Making Cents Start Making Dollars

If you have been struggling to earn more than a few cents per click on your AdSense earnings do not become depressed and quit. There is good news and that is that you can learn how to increase your AdSense earnings. Many people who first begin their AdSense business expect to begin earning $100 per month; because this is the payout that Google will send you a check or bank draft to your chosen address or bank account. However the truth is that very few people really do earn a significant amount of money through AdSense.
In this article I am going to provide you with some tips on how you can increase your AdSense earnings and quit getting cents per click and begin making dollars per day.
Now if you are new to the AdSense program I would highly suggest that you visit the Google site and get all the free valuable information about how AdSense works and how to make the most of it. I would also suggest that you spend some time browsing the internet and look for people who have been making a living by utilizing AdSense. There are several top dogs that do make a living by just using AdSense on their sites. They will even go into explanation of which ad codes produce better than others. You will gain a better understanding of where the visitors eyes go first when they are browsing websites, and where you would get the most clicks.
Personally I have found that the best performing and highest paying AdSense code is the 336x280 placed right above the content on the page. I would recommend that you only place one block per page because this will actually increase the amount you get per click.
You are going to need more than one website or blog. If you currently have AdSense on your site you would be amazed at how making some little minor changes to that site will increase your AdSense earnings. Imagine if you were just making $1 per day that amounts to $30 per month. With $5 per day you will be raking in $150 per month, $10 per day is $300 per month. Are you catching on how this can be very lucrative?
Adding fresh content everyday is a must. Google loves fresh content and will keep ranking your website high on the search engines. Provide valuable information that people can use and you will notice that more people will keep coming to your site to read and will begin sharing it with others.
Blend your ads to mix in with the content of your site. You will be amazed that by just changing the colors on your AdSense codes will dramatically increase your CTR. Set the URL color to the same color of the ad's text, it will actually make the link color stand out more and people will be enticed to click on it.
Search for keywords that people are going to be searching for. If you do not due your due diligence on the keywords that people will be browsing for, no one will find your website online. We have all done it at one time or another we get excited about something we want to write about however we neglect to see if people are searching for that topic. We throw up a blog or website and we do not earn anything with AdSense, so many people become discouraged a quit.
AdSense works and if you found these tips on how you can increase your AdSense earnings informative; visit the website below for more valuable information.

How to Monetize Your Website Without Google's AdSense

If you've been using the Internet for any length of time, you've no doubt heard the term "contextual" marketing. But what exactly is contextual marketing? Well, a prime example of contextual marketing would be Google's AdSense - those little ads you see running on so many websites these days. The problem with AdSense however is that it places intrusive advertising on your website, which is a huge turn-off for many people.
However, there is a better, less intrusive way of utilizing contextual marketing. What is it? Instead of monetizing your website with advertising, try placing targeted product links at the tail end of relevant content. For example, if your website or blog has published an article on marketing, having a direct link at the end of the article that gives readers the opportunity to purchase a marketing product that is closely related to the topic of the article would be contextual marketing.
This method of marketing can be particularly effective if you own a content site. Why? Because according to the statistics I've read, content sites receive 90% of all Internet traffic. That means having a content site provides you with an outstanding opportunity to generate additional revenue from your website without alienating your visitors with AdSense ads. And even if you don't own your own products, you can still utilize this method of marketing by linking your articles to affiliate products and earn money that way.
The key to making money with this method of marketing is to write a compelling, benefit-laden link that makes the reader want to click on it for more information. For example, suppose your marketing article was about writing effective headlines. You'd want your link to read something like this:
"Learn How To Instantly Create Magical Headlines That Make Money! Click here."
The whole concept behind contextual marketing is to snare the impulse buyer. And it makes perfect sense too, because if someone is interested in reading about a particular topic, there is a good chance that he would be interested in purchasing a product related to that topic.

The Five Different Levels of the AdSense Publisher Spectrum

The Google Adsense program pays out hundreds of millions of dollars to its publishers every single month, and there is a very wide and differing variety of all the webmasters and bloggers that currently make use of this contextual advertising system. Each of the publishers follows different rules and methods when it comes to using Adsense, and the members of each group all earn a different amount of money.
I have been a participant in the Adsense program for a few years now, and a significant chunk of my monthly income comes from this program. I have talked with dozens of different webmasters and publishers and seen thousands of different Adsense sites, and from my own experience I have found that there are really five different levels that Adsense publishers fall on. I will describe each of these levels, and if you yourself are an Adsense publisher then it may be fun to find out where you fall on the spectrum.
First Level of the Adsense Spectrum: Monetizers
The first group is what I call the 'monetizers.' These are the guys that really do not know too much about web design or search engine optimization, they would never imagine worrying about keywords or ad relevancy, and for them just finding that they can copy this super-fabulous amazingly cool javascript code to their website that will actually *earn them money* (!) is just the neatest gosh darn thing they have ever seen. There are a great deal of publishers that fall into this category, and rarely do they ever earn over $150 per month. These are usually the non-profit websites or the mom-and-pop type sites, and they will usually use their Adsense revenue to pay for their hosting costs.
Not to over-generalize, but older people that have trouble using Windows make up alot of this category. I find that some of these types of people remind me alot of my mother: very kindhearted with good intentions but they type at 10 WPM and they do not have a clue about computers. And they are happier than a kid on Christmas when they log into their Adsense account and see a whopping $0.23 for their daily earnings.
Second Level of the Adsense Spectrum: Wannabes
The second group is the 'adsense wannabes.' I actually feel a bit sorry for this group because they usually end of failing miserably at being an Adsense publisher (that is if they can ever get accepted into the program!) and they accomplish nothing except lowering their already low self-esteem. I can deeply empathize with this group of folks because this is actually where I started out. They approach the Adsense program with a type of 'get rich quick' mentality, sometimes due to the exaggerations of an ebook writer and sometimes because once they begin to learn about the Adsense program their brain has trouble accepting the fact that this is an actual business.
I mean come on, a business is where you work 60 hours per week to make somebody else rich, right? There is no way that you could build up a high 4-figure monthly income from this crazy Adsense thing, is there? Well I hope you know better, and this is the level of thought that these people are stuck at. These are the opportunity seekers, the people that will sign up for a new network marketing 'business opportunity' once per quarter and then whore themselves out to their family and friends because they have failed at everything else and are always jumping back and forth so that they never succeed at anything.
But I do not want to be overly critical, because like I said this is the level at which I started out. These are the people who have been convinced that this is the next big thing and that once they set up a single website they will make enough money to retire. Most of these types will fail to generate any real income and will move on to the next 'big thing.' But those who do start off at this level and stay at it long enough will move up to the third level.
Third Level of the Adsense Spectrum: Noobs
Statistically speaking, if you are reading this then there is a chance that you are an Adsense Noob (short for newbie). It is by far the largest category of Adsense publishers. This is not something to feel bad about, and in fact I consider it to be something to be proud of because you have demonstrated your devotion to learning this new business and actually making a decent residual income with it. If you were not devoted then you would still be at the penniless level of the wannabe, so take heed noob for you are on the path to success.
I define an Adsense Noob as someone who makes less then $300 dollars per month. They are probably pretty intelligent people and are very web-savvy, and they probably read tons of material and ebooks related to Adsense and internet marketing, but they simply cannot seem to get past this invisible threshold that is keeping them from higher profits.
I was stuck at this level for longer then I care to remember, and if you are at this level then please allow me to offer some humble advice that may allow you to advance to either level 4 or 5 depending on your personal preference. If you are really trying hard to make your Adsense earnings high enough to live off of and make a big change in your life (maybe quitting your job) and you are frustrated because you simply cannot figure out what you can possibly do to earn more money, then please for the love of all things good and sacred in this world pick a single website and stick with it!! This was my biggest mistake that kept me at the level of a noob for far too long, because I would pick a new topic and make a new website, and then a few weeks later I would do the same thing to the point that it felt like I was running in place.
If you are like me, sticking with a single website or blog as opposed to trying to build up many different ones simultaneously will be a real turning point for you. Think of it like this: when you go out of your way to focus all your attention like a laser on one single project, you will be building this one website up to a 5 instead of building 5 websites up to a 1. Not only that, but you are literally building up an asset because if your website was making you $2,000 per month on a fairly reliable basis, there is a good chance that you could sell it for 8-14 months of revenue.
Another factor that goes into graduating from the noob level is having all of the information you have been reading about Adsense, traffic generation and internet marketing to sink in on a subconscious level. This can take a while, because you need to read or hear something at least seven times before it will really sink in. But once you keep reading and absorbing information for a long time then it will eventually become habit and you will find that you are able to build highly optimized pages intuitively, and it is at this point that you should be able to move on to level 4 or 5 if you wish.
Fourth Level of the Adsense Spectrum: Empire Builders
Empire builders are the people that approach being an Adsense publisher from the perspective of building a business. They do not mess around, and they spend a decent portion of their mental energy focusing on the cold, hard numbers. The empire builder has many websites, and he/she focuses on things such as finding profitable keywords, improving CTR, discovering which websites topics tend to be the most profitable, testing page configurations and traffic generation methods, and so on. If this does not sound like fun to you, it certainly isn't, and that is what separates the empire builder from the noob.
But just because focusing on improving CTR and split testing page layouts is not exactly fun does not mean that it is hard, and the potential payoff can seriously be worth the inconvenience of taking the time to do it right. There is an important paradigm shift that needs to take place in your awareness if you want to be a successful empire builder: you must realize that your profession is literally to connect advertisers with people who are interested in what they are promoting.
By creating content sites around a certain topic, you are drawing in people who are interested in that topic, and then you are 'giving' those visitors away to other websites that may not be as good at marketing as you are. The main thing to be aware of here is that even though you are building up a base of website visitors with the intention of having them leave your website by clicking on relevant ads, they will be leaving some money in your virtual tip jar as they go! If you are an empire builder, it is important that you do not get too attached to your websites and spend most of your attention focusing on how you can connect your visitors with relevant advertisers.
Fifth Level of the Adsense Spectrum: Adsense Whores
By my choice of words you may think this is a bad thing, but it's not and it can potentially be extremely profitable to be an Adsense whore. The business model of the Adsense whore is to have one single website and have ads appearing on potentially millions of pages on the site. The key distinction here is that most of the time the single website that this person focuses on will be a community site or a networking site, and there will be thousands of members that effectively create unique content each and every day. And with all of the unique pages that your member base is creating, you can place your code on nearly every singe one of them.
A forum or a social networking website are great examples of websites that can make a killing using this type of business model. Many sites that are powered by user-generated content will employ an ad rotating script so that their adsense ads are rotated continually with other types of visual ads, so that the visitors do not become 'banner blind' and ignore the ads completely.
When you have a popular website and a member base numbering in the thousands or the tens of thousands, a 6-figure monthly income is not out of the question when you are able to monetize the vast number of pages that are being perpetually created. This level is out of reach for most people because it usually requires an extensive knowledge of web application programming and you will usually have to hire skilled programmers to work on the back end of the site and make sure that it is secure. This can be costly, and there is a chance that you will also need to hire people to moderate the content that users are creating. It is a full-on business, and it pays accordingly.
As you can see, Adsense publishers come in all types and sizes, and I hope this has been an enlightening aside on your journey towards higher profits.

How To Make Money From Your Blog

Below are some of the best ways that you can learn how to make money from your blog.
Sell advertising space
When you mention advertising, most people think of Adsense, this is likely the most common means to make money from your blog. If your blog is getting a decent amount of traffic and happens to become a well-known blog, or one that is well-received in a particular niche. Then consider selling advertising space.
Advertising can be broken into CPC (cost per Click ) and CPA (Cost per Action)
CPC Ad Networks
AdSense.
Google AdSense is probably the best known and most widely used way of making money from your blog. It is very simple to setup, offers ads relevant to your content from a large number of trusted advertisers, pays about 60% of the click to you and pays out reliably. The downside these days is that there is the possibility that your readers have become AdSense-blind, having been exposed to similar ads on other sites they frequent. But if you want to monetize a very niche-oriented blog
YPN
Yahoo! Publisher Network is the main alternative CPC network to Google AdSense. People who have used YPN have said that they earn more per click when compared to AdSense revenue generated from the same site. While this sounds encouraging, there have been serious issues with YPN in terms of targeting accuracy. Payment is also reliable, offering the choice of payment via check or direct deposit.
Chitika
Chitika will contextually pick a product and display a price, image and short description. Payout is reliable and can be sent straight to your PayPal account, something which is sure to attract many. While there have been varying tales of success and woeful performance, Chitika is most suited to commercial blogs. If you blog on a topic such as iPods, PSP, gaming, electrical accessories you will more than likely find Chitika generates a good revenue stream. But the one single benefit offered by Chitika is that it is AdSense-compatible.
CPA Ad Networks
Text Links Text link ads are starting to become very popular, because of the ease with which they can be added to a blog page.
AdBrite.
To be successful with Adbrite, you must have a high traffic blog. This is a marketplace where advertisers can browse for sites and pay for their textual advertisement to appear. It isn't contextual and can be used alongside AdSense and YPN. The cost for a link on your blog is worked out by your traffic and sector. So the more traffic you have, the more you make. Get writing!
Text-Link-Ads.
Text-Link-Ads were the brokers between the advertiser and a select number of large websites Now you can apply to have your blog included in their marketplace so that advertisers can pay for their static text link on your site. Most of the buyers using this network are doing so because they want the benefit of the link from your site, but luckily you can choose who gets to appear. Implementing Text-Link-Ads on your site is quick and easy.
Conclusion.
As you can see, there are various ways to make money from your blog, the main point is to get traffic and decent long term traffic with a loyal readership.

7 Powerful Ways To Make Money From Adsense Using Only Free Tools

There is really no doubting that there are amazing incomes currently being made on Google Adsense and the really interesting thing is that even relatively small sites and blogs are finding new ways to make money from their Adsense sites every day.
Actually there are a lot of increasingly creative ways to make money and maximize on Adsense earnings that are being discovered and also being put to use every day. And what’s even more fascinating is the fact that most of these tools being used don’t cost anything. They are actually free. Here are 7 of the most effective currently being used.
a) Ways to make money from Adsense by Distributing articles through ezine and article announcement lists
Some of the most effective methods ways to make money from Adsense clicks involve the simple step of just increasing the volume of targeted traffic to a site. One of the ways of doing this is by distributing interesting content to ezine lists and article announcement lists. It is not too difficult to quickly build a list that reaches a million or so email boxes and can thus give a lot of visibility and drive tons of highly targetd traffic to your Adsense site or sites. Probably the most popular place for doing this is at Yahoo groups, but there are a few others that you can find easily by using your favorite search engine.
Success here depends on three main factors. Firstly you should be careful to join article announcement lists and ezine lists that are as relevant as possible to your subject matter and offering. Secondly your headline has to be a killer headline that will grab readers by the scruffs of their necks and force them to open your email message amongst the dozens or even hundreds of others they receive daily. It goes without saying that the content must meet the promise of your sensational headline. Anything less will cause annoyance and leave all those potential visitors to your Adsense site feeling cheated. And believe me, you don’t want to cause this sort of reaction because it is definitely not one of the ways o make money from Adsense or any other program for that matter. Thirdly, you will need the sort of resource box in all your articles that will leave most of your readers with no option but to visit your Adsense site.
Within a very short of consistently applying this technique, my daily Adsense earnings increased seven-fold.
b) Ways to make money from Adsense by Distributing free articles to high traffic article sites Some people find the recent trends that have seen an increase in article sites surprising. I don’t. The net is primarily an information-seeking tool. Anything that will help improve the search and quality of information will greatly benefit the people making that effort.
Some of the older article directories receive very high traffic, mainly from web masters and site owners seeking quality free content for their sites. So apart from the immediate exposure these sites also guarantee plenty of future targeted traffic to your site, when folks find your articles useful enough to re-post at their sites.
The more new articles you release to these sites every week, the more targeted traffic your Adsense sites will receive. This is in fact one of the most effective ways of making money consistently from Adsense clicks. One of the reasons for this is that targeted traffic will tend to spend more time at your site or sites, and the more time they spend, the higher the chances that they will click one one of the Adsense ads posted there.
c) Ways to make money from Adsense by Using Articles And A Viral Marketing Website
Any online marketing technique that involves the use of referral marketing or viral marketing automatically has a huge chance of being a success. The net is ideal for viral marketing and in fact gives any viral marketer huge leverage. Viral marketing or referral marketing is one of the most effective ways to make money online. Just ask Bill Gates.
When Gates was trying to play catch up on the Internet after an earlier mistake of underestimating the future importance of the net, he launched his Hotmail free email service when rivals like Yahoo already had millions of users. He decided to use a simple referral marketing technique. Every Hotmail message that went out had a brief signature at the end requesting the recipient to sign up for their free Hotmail account. Within a few short months, Hotmail had millions of users. And there are many other amazing stories which viral marketing boasts of on the net.
There is one of the very simple ways to make money from Adsense by going viral. Sign up at a leading viral marketing site. You will automatically get your own viral site. You can then use some of your articles to point people to your viral site. The way these sites work is that anybody who signs up at your site will have to visit your Adsense site if you register it at the site. So within a very short time you will be driving thousands of visitors to your Adsense site.
Find more details on this at my blog whose address you'll find in the resource box below.
Admittedly this traffic is less targeted. Still the huge potential and possible numbers you are able to receive using this free tool more than makes up for this.
d) Ways to make money from Adsense With Your Email signature
People greatly underestimate the power and potential effectiveness of a simple email signature as one of the ways to make money online. Actually this is a viral marketing method because emails get forwarded all the time and are even copied to several other people sometimes.
Do not waste another minute. Go to all your email accounts right now and create a signature that points to your Adsense site or sites.
Writing effective email signatures is a skill that you will have to develop, but I have found that using famous quotes is more effective than a straight advertising message. Always remember that people hate to be advertised to online.
e) Ways to make money from Adsense By Asking Questions At Discussion groups
I recently had an interesting conversation with a young Internet and computer techie. He asked me whether there were quick ways to make money online by answering technical questions and helping people to solve their computer and web-related problems. My answer was that there were many discussion groups where participants would get these answers for free. I advised him that he had a better chance of making money by making use of this free advice available online rather than by trying to sell his own advice.
There are tons of online discussion groups where leading world experts will answer your questions and give you valuable insight for free. It is amazing why most people do not think of using these online forums to learn as much as they can about the most effective ways of making money from Adsense.
These forums can easily be found through you favorite search engine.
f) Ways to make money from Adsense By Bartering your online skills for valuable Adsense keywords
In the old days, before the invention of money, if somebody needed something, the first question they asked themselves was; “What is it that I already have that I can exchange for what I need? Barter trade seems to have been forgotten but it is a very powerful method of trading. More so online where people have plenty of skills but are slow to trust others enough to send them money for an item they need.
You can barter whatever it is you have, your skills, products or services, and exchange them for genuine valuable Adsense keywords. Valuable Adsense keywords are the most effective way for a small site with low traffic to earn big cash from Adsense. And you can do this barter trade on an ongoing basis so that you always have a constant supply of valuable Adsense keywords which you can use at your site or blog as one of the ways to make more money from Adsense.
g) Ways to make money from Adsense By Sending Teaser Emails
To Everybody In Your Inbox And Also To Your Opt-in Email List Most of us receive tons of email in our inbox every day. You’ll be surprised at the huge number of people you know by simply going through your email inbox. No matter how good your spam filters are, you are also bound to be receiving more than your fare share of SPAM or unsolicited email. All this is “gold” lying in your email inbox and there are ways to make money using these emails. All you need to do to process the emails into pure gold is to send out “teaser emails about the most interesting aspects of content at your site. The whole objective of teaser emails is to get people to visit your site. For instance if I were to send out teaser email on this content here is how I would construct it;
Subject: Free Tools Currently Being Used To Increase Adsense Earnings

I am sure you can write an even more effective teaser email. It would be a better idea to have a different message for your close friends, a different one for your business contacts and yet another one for those nasty guys SPAMMING you.
These are just some of the many creative ways to make money from Adsense.
