Google AdSense Discussion

So many web site owners miss the easiest and best opportunity to increase sales. In a rush to put up as many sites as possible in the vain hopes of generating Adsense revenue, they miss the opportunity to increase sales by not having a newsletter.

Far too many sites are being created with poor content, leaving visitors to continue wandering from site to site looking for good, solid, knowledgeable content.

If you have good content, you likely have some expertise that your visitors will want know more about. Why not set up a newsletter so you can share your expertise with others, and increase your adsense revenue at the same time?

If you are worried that you’re not a writer, you’re not alone. Just think of it as writing a quick note to a friend. You are sharing some information with a friend of yours. Your subscribers are like your friends.

Its key to now provide your “friends” with some valuable content. Since you are likely passionate about your field of expertise, your enthusiasm will come out, and your subscribers will be motivated. As an expert in your field, you can provide your newsletter subscribers with information that they can use. How do you increase your adsense revenue with this opportunity?

Give them a teaser! By giving them a paragraph or two, and then leading them to your web site, you can get them interested in more information, which your advertisers may be able to provide for them. If they are motivated by your valuable content, they will click on the ads, thus

increasing your adsense revenue.

If you have a list of the top paying keywords (http://www.adsenseheaven.com or http://www.adsensepayday.com are two that we use), you can easily find words that you can use for your site. Create sticky content that is optimized around these top paying keywords, and both you and your visitor can benefit. Your visitor gets useful content, and you can increase your Adsense revenue. A win / win.

Another opportunity that your subscribers can provide you is an outlet to sell affiliate products. As an expert in your field, your subscribers will follow your suggestions. This provides an excellent opportunity to increase your affiliate sales.

This opportunity comes with a responsibility though to your subscribers.

If you develop a relationship with your subscribers, you will build on your credibility and trust. One of the biggest complaints of most people surfing the internet is the question of integrity and trust of the information they have in front of them. If you can develop that trust, and keep that trust, your subscribers stay with you.

Its very easy to betray that trust. Once you do, they are gone, and so is your opportunity.

How can you lose this trust so easily? If your subscribers feel that you are pushing products on them, instead of helping them, they will unsubscribe. If the information that you are providing is not valued to the subscriber, they will unsubscribe.

Your subscribers have entered into a relationship with you based on trust. If you treat that relationship with trust, you’ll find that your subscribers are more

Starting an AdSense website is relatively easy. However, there are plenty of things that may go wrong, especially if you’re doing it for the first time. For one, most AdSense businesses crash down before they can really take off. The number of impressions and low click-through rate often changes what seemed to be an excellent business idea into nothing - unless you call earning $1 a day a profitable business venture.

What is AdSense?

90% of problems with AdSense businesses is caused by the fact that AdSense businessmen-to-be don’t know much about what AdSense is and how it really works. While you definitely don’t have to know all the technical details, it is an imperative that you understand all the basics.

AdSense is an advertising program run by Google. Webmasters who decide to take part in it add a special Java script to their websites that allows AdSense to display ads on the webpage it is installed in. The ads come from advertisers who have subscribed to the AdWords program and placed there their own ads. Then AdSense program places them at the AdSense websites that seem to be the most appropriate.

The advertisers pay either per each click on their ad or per thousand impressions (thousand people who have opened your website with the ad on it). A fraction of the price they pay goes to you - the website owner. Google acts only as an intermediary and editor, it is neither the source nor the real provider of any ads.

How Google knows what adverts to display on your site? Everything begins within the AdWords program. When advertisers create their ads, they also choose key phrases that are relevant to their ads. For example, if one creates an advert of a snowboarding website, he will probably choose such key phrases as “snowboard”, “snowboarding”, “snowboard styles”, “snowboard course” etc. When a website is signed to the AdSense program, a special robot (=internet program) called Metabot “reads” your website in search for keywords (=words used in the content). Then it sends a signal to AdSense to send you the adverts that are triggered by the key phrases you have used in your website.

Starting an AdSense website

Build a site: while you can put AdSense ads on virtually any website, in 99% of cases you won’t make any real money out of it. In order to start a real AdSense website that will become a steady income stream, you have to remember about:

*popularity - check what people look for on the Internet and build your site around one of the most popular topics. Use Wordtracker or Nichebot and take a look at the most often searched keywords to get some ideas.

*relevant content - AdSense is not an artificial intelligence and certainly not a mind reader. You have to put a lot of content that speaks about the website’s topic AND USE THE KEY PHRASES! Otherwise you risk that some ads may miss your website and you get others that are irrelevant to your website. This may greatly decrease the click-through ratio. A tip: do not use the content you can find on the Internet, even if it is marked “public domain” - Google loves fresh unpublished articles.

*proper ad placement - most people who browse the website look at the upper left corner of screen first, then at the mid-upper part and lower left and only lastly at the lower right part of screen. Make sure that you can place your ads where people look first - this increases the chance they click on them.

Registration process: registration process is very simple and, what’s even more important, free. Go to www.google.com/adsense and complete the registration form. Just remember that you have to add the provided script to your website before you get any ads displayed!

Get the traffic: now, when you have a decent website and relevant ads all you need is people who will visit your site and click on the ads. If your website attracts 1000 visitors a day, you can count on it to bring you a healthy profit. There are dozens of methods you can use. Among the most popular are: adding links to web directories, writing articles to article directories and getting links from other, relevant sites. It is probably the most difficult part of all AdSense business, broad enough to be discussed in another article.

Warning: angry Google = no income

During all the process there is one thing that you have to remember about: don’t do anything that is prohibited or unadvised by Google. First, most of such practices won’t give you any real profit. Second, if you make Google angry, they will simply ban your site from from their search engine, wasting all the hard work you’ve made and forcing you to start everything all over again.

Trespassing Google regulations - clicking on your own ads or installing any robots who can do that for you - will always be swiftly punished. No courts, no lawsuits, no nothing - your website will be immediately and irreversibly banned, people cease to visit it and your income drops to zero in a matter of days. A few dollars more are just not worth wasting months of your work.

Colin Tsui started his career as an Internet Marketer since September 2006. On his Internet Marketing Blog (www.colintsui.com) he shares useful informations, tips and tricks on AdSense, AdWords, Affiliate Marketing, Internet Marketing and how to make money online.

This is an interesting question to ask because there are well known bloggers who make huge profits from one single major blog. However there are also other equally well-known blog site owners who make their Adsense money from dozens of different blogs. So where does that leave somebody who is just starting out?

The key thing to remember about a blog site is that a blog’s main function is being a web log or online diary. As the term “online diary” suggests, this is where a blogger can generate a lot of interesting personal comment and intimate details and information about a particular niche subject or topic that they have chosen to cover. Blogs are quick and easy to set up. Blogs are a less expensive way of advertising your business

The fact is that a blog is hardly the place where you would want to reach for your credit card. Yet this does not make a blog less important. Blogs are classified as being increasingly important to any web based entrepreneur because it is where all the action is. In actual fact traffic is generated in large quantities at blogs and then re-directed to web sites for the actual sales transaction to be consummated.

On the other hand there is no denying the fact that putting your eggs in several baskets seems to work well with Adsense. Traffic volumes tend to fluctuate sometimes and if one site does not do well on a particular day then one of the dozen others will and in this way the blogger will be able to maintain their high daily sales and ultimately their big monthly check.

With the various online advertising and marketing tools available these days, it is not too difficult to run several blogs successfully and have each one attracting enough traffic for you to make significant revenue from Adsense. In fact you do not need a very big budget to be able to achieve this. You can for instance start with a small amount invested in PPC campaigns for each blog and then re-invest from the profit and returns you receive and in this way build up a huge targeted traffic for many of your blogs.

You can also combine this with free creative methods to attract traffic to each of your blogs.

This is not to say that anybody with just one blog is doomed to failure. Far from it, there are a number of advantages of having only one blog to focus and concentrate all you efforts on. More so if you are just starting out in online marketing. It is easier to try out things and be able to see the results of your efforts. Sometimes when you have too many blogs, monitoring their progress and the various programs and campaigns you are testing may prove to be quite challenging.

Ultimately it is up to you as an individual to decide what feels more comfortable for you – one Adsense blog or several.
