Webmaster Pro Guide

Archive for the ‘adsense’ Category

When you are buying a website from someone for the sole purpose of putting AdSense on, it can be a catch-22 about whether to ask the site owner if he or she has ever used AdSense on the site, and if the site has been banned from AdSense. But you don’t exactly want to outlay the cash and then discover the site has been permanently banned from ever running AdSense.

On the one hand, you don’t want to invest in a site that you can never show ads on. But on the other hand, you don’t want to give a struggling hobby webmaster who might have never heard of AdSense think about signing up and trying AdSense before he goes ahead and sells it to you… because you want the best possible deal on buying the site. And yes, there are still publishers scooping up websites for a song and making back the purchase amount within days after putting on AdSense. (more…)

How much revenue do you generate from Google Adsense?

Recently there has been a lot of discussion about people who earn over $10,000 a month just from Adsense. Furthermore, there are rumors of a few individuals who earn over $1 million a year just from using the power of Google advertisements.

So what is Google Adsense and how can you use this program to earn a six-figure income?

About two years ago, Google created this program to help websites to monetize their web-traffic.

Here’s how it works:

Webmasters obtain a special code from Google which then displays targeted ads on their website. Whenever a visitor clicks on one of these ads, the webmaster earns a commission. Unlike other online businesses, there is no selling involved. All you need to do is get people to click on the ads.

Although this is an excellent way to generate an income, many websites are not effectively maximizing their Adsense potential. As a result, they are leaving a lot of cash on the table.

The question is how can you increase your Adsense revenue without increasing the number of web visitors?

The key to earning an income with Google Adsense is to have your ads match the rest of the site, making them look like part of your content. Your focus is to avoid having the Adsense blocks look like blatant advertisements.

The following are six ways that you can do this and increase your revenue at the same time:

1) Find the right place- Most website visitors read content that is in the middle of a webpage. As a result, the best place to put your Adsense block is in the top part of the page, at the beginning of your web content. You want to weave the Google Ads into your web content to give the appearance that they are extra links which expand on the information of the page.

2) Use the Large Rectangle-With Google Adsense, you have the option of picking different ad formats. Most of the time people opt to use the Leaderboard (728×90) or Wide Skyscraper (160×600) style ads. Unfortunately, this is the wrong choice, because both look like blatant advertisements. Instead smart webmasters have found that using the Large Rectangle (336×280) yields the best amount of click-thrus.

3) Ditch the border- Many people experience a sharp increase in Adsense revenue when they changing their border. What they change is very simple…they get rid of the border on their Adsense blocks. This is another way to make the advertisements look like useful web content.

4) Adapt the font- Whenever you write content, it should be the same font size and style as your Google Adsense block. This will help make it appear that the advertisements are a natural part of your website.

5) Match the colors- In addition to changing the fonts, you also should match the colors of your website. For instance, if your content is written in black, and your hyperlinks are blue, then the Adsense blocks should also be the same color. Again, this helps the advertisements appear to be normal web content.

6) Don’t have too many distractions- On a webpage, it is important to give web visitor a limited number of options. By having too many links and graphics, the web visitor might go to a section that doesn’t help increase your profits. While it is important to inform and entertain your web visitor, it is also vital that you monetize your site. So if the main focus of your site is to earn an income through Google Adsense, then get rid of all non-essential links and graphics.

By taking the time to implement these six simple steps, you’ll see a dramatic increase in the click-thru ratio of your ads. If added to all of the content of your site, your Adsense income will skyrocket!

Let me before starting this topic tell you that im not in the top adsense earner or the so called premium advertisers, but i do have a decent income from google adsense program. Its very simple to earn good money from this program. Your 15 year old kids are earning 2000$ monthly from it, so why cant you.

Its a myth that to you got to know all the technical stuff and should be a programming guru to earn off that much from google adsense. Its totally unrealistic, but all the premium publisher or atleast most of them are general site owners with basic or amatuer knowledge of technology. This is the real thing.

So you must be wondering what seperates them from us, why do earn so huge amount of money while we just sit wondering what should be done to get to that point.

From my point of view, i would suggest the following golden 7 steps to ensure such fat income :

1. To start off, Google Adsense business should be treated as importantly as other businesses. Its totally unethical to call it as residual income. If you consider it as residual then you should not expect big cheques from it.

2. Secondly, track you improvements, changes in ad positioning, whats working and whats not. From today, track all the changes you do and their impacts, its the basic common mistake that we make, not tracking the changes we make. This helps in analysing few things which works for us and which do not. Repeat the things next time you go about making a new site and stay away from the things which didnt work this time. It helps in avoiding mistakes we make again and again.

3. The main thing this premium publisher do, is take up some broad niche and then divide them into sub niches, each having its individual sites. For eg, Sports, Cricket, Indian Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, Fan sites. They use specific automated site building tools to make up their instant niche sites. This automated tools are their main secret weapons of mass earnings.

4. Once you have exhausted making the ‘n’ no. of niche sites from the same niche,provide backlinks, links from each niche site to other one, and from each page to related page in other sites.

5. Now, designing your site requires one main point to be covered, make it very easy to browse as well as simple on the looks. Remember your main aim is to have click through on adsense rather then distracting your viewer to other things. Here the mantra is to ‘Tell’ not ‘Sell’ like any e-commerce site which will have emphasis on its product and will guide the viewer to their products. So make an informative site with enough content which will have adsense related matter.

6. Now comes the main part, the exposure of your sites, its easy and should be a gradual but steady process, make links from other related to yours, provide interlinking to your various related sites, make sitemap of each site and submit it to google, submit your sites to various directories like Indexrated & Agile List Web Directory. This should provide you steady and good traffic. In 2-4 months, you would be having enough traffic to have good amount of click-throughs.

7. After doing the tough part, you got to have patience on your part. Nobody and i mean nobody can earn 100$ on 1 day itself, wait for few months and you would be on your way to premium publisher. If you still want to earn more, repeat this steps with different niche and double your earnings.

This way, has been tried and tested by my friend and i have posted this article after interviewing him. His earnings averaged 10k $/month in past 6 months.Now that must be good enough for you, probably

After Alot of waiting time , Google decide finally to introduce the new Ad Review Center which allow us to accept or reject ads , so we be able to review placement-targeted ads that have previously run on our site .

In an effort to provide you with more transparency and control over the ads appearing on your pages, we’ve developed the Ad Review Center. This new feature, which we’ll be rolling out to publishers over the next few months, will allow you to review ads placement-targeted to your site and ensure those ads are relevant to your site’s users. When you first opt into the Ad Review Center, you’ll be able to see all placement-targeted ads currently targeted to your site, and a couple of days later you’ll be able to review placement-targeted ads that have previously run on your site. If you think an ad is not relevant for your users, you can prevent it from appearing again by blocking it in the Ad Review Center.

This will be a good Methode to Filter MFA and low paying advertisers .

AdSense publishers may soon be receiving their Christmas Gifts from Google. Last year, it was a Digital Frame but now they are sending a 2 GB USB Memory card.I just got the AdSense gift (thanks Google) but unfortunately have no pictures to post here because someone in the Indian Post department had already opened the parcel in transit and removed the USB memory card.

Luckily, that soul has spared the Google AdSense greeting card that you see here.

Google uses USPS for international mail and their partner here is the Indian Postal Service, a government service. The tracking number printed on the parcel is not getting accepted at the USPS website so not sure if we can really do anything about it.

First of all I would like to enumerate some tips for blogging with Adsense , This would be the main theme of this blog ,

1-GENUINE CONTENT is the clue , you can get high ranks and good search engine results with genuine content . Search engines are the best source of traffic and so the best source of revenue with adsense.

2-Never start a blog just for adsense , write about what you like , blogging or making a site just for Adsense get you bad ranks and search results , it is called MFA site , it is hated by google and visitors , just write about what you love or like to write about and try to be unique .

3-Better to write with Blogger.

4-Imagine that you are a visitor to your blog , what would you like , make it good looking and ask your friends about their opinion.

5-Update your blog and add new posts at least weekly .

6-Concentrate on organising and proper arrangement.

7-After you made a good genuine blog with proper amount of content , submit your blog to high ranked directories and high ranked social bookmarking sites as Digg.com , also to search engines and RSS sites.

8-Creat your blog site map and submit it to google and yahoo.

9-After you have done all this subscribe with Adsense.

10-Don’t quit easly … be patient and most sites and blogs get high traffic by aging , and always remember visitors = revenue.

11-Change your adsense colors and placement from time to time and try to fix to the highest revenue placements , in my opinion I don’t think that this is effective but a lot of publishers think so . Don’t ask someone to tell you about the best colors or formates , try them by yourself.

Good Luck ,

they’ve been beta testing this for a lil while but I think they’ve just released it network wide.

Announcing Video Units

We’re excited to announce video units, a new way for publishers to enrich their sites with premium, relevant video content on an embedded YouTube player. We know one of your top goals is to enhance your users’ experience, so video units allow you to choose which video categories to target to your site and which to exclude, as well as to customize the color scheme and layout of the YouTube player. Plus, the ads provided with the videos are highly targeted and non-intrusive. If you’re looking to monetize and enrich your site with premium video content, learn more about video units or simply log in to your account to get started.

google has been on a real losing streak lately when it comes to creating things that make money.

you can also find clickable adsense text ads playing within the video window at revver.com, it’s the exact same thing, but the payout for revver affiliates is something like only 20%? pretty dismal, but if you can find content for your niche, it might be worth checking out.

You may have read my earlier article about AdSense and started to use it, or you use AdSense anyway but this guide will teach you how to get a higher CTR (Click Through Rate) on your website.

CTR is basically how many people click on your ads, so a higher CTR will bring you more earnings. Some sites have a low CTR, this is just a fact. It is know that forums have a low CTR because people want to talk, interact and post but blogs have a high CTR because the visitors want to read and learn. (more…)

First, go to your adsense reports and see whats your ctr.

if its a website and you have 3%= very low 10%=regular 15%=a good optimized website.

if its a blog, its a little different, cause on blogs the ctr gets down. 2%= very low 5%=regular 10%= a good optimized blog.

So, lets say you are around 4% CTR. lets get it up!

first, take note on what is your ctr the day you begin. in one week, check again and see the results.
<h2>DONT make your ads look like ADS!</h2>
well, that must sound weird, but its true, people dont visit your site for view ads, they are looking for the content. if you make your ads with borders, images, people will see that links like banners, and most of them of course will not click them.

The same happens to ads that are at the top, bottom, or far from the content, so keep this in mind.
<h2>HERE ARE SOME TIPS THAT I USED TO UP MY CTR:</h2>
1.-use text ads. not images.when you are making your adsense ad, choose the option: only text ads. image ads pay lower and are not very clickable.

2.-very low ctr? If your Ctr is very low, try to use blue link colors in all your site:<span class=”style1″> BLUE COLOR: </span>#00FFFF and also on adsense ads. use the same border as the background color, and use the same background adsense color as the same adsense color of your site. remember that the best background for article themes is the white, but if you have a website of games, or design, its better other color.
