10 Tips to Maximize CTR

There are many tips to improve your Click-Thru-Rate. The most important factor is about the placement of ads. Even if you have used the highest-paid ads, you won't earn more unless your visitors click on them.

Adsense Alternatives - Amazon Associates

In the previous post, I have mentioned that I am going to talk about on Adsense alternatives. These alternatives do not necessarily means the money-earning method after getting banned by Google. For these alternatives, some of them can be used in conjunction with Adsense too. In this post, I am going to talk about Amazon Associates which is a common affiliate program that can be displayed together with Adsense.

Adsense Alternatives - Bidvertiser

As an contextually-targeted ad network, BidVertiser works in the same way as Google, except its paying is a bit less than that of Google Adsense. Remember, bidvertiser cannot be displayed together with Adsense, otherwise you will be banned very soon and lost all of your earnings. BidVertiser enables you to get paid for every visitor that clicks on an ad, which is another CPC network. Their goal is to let you make as much as possible from your advertising space, by letting advertisers bid on your ad space. They pay monthly, either by check, or instantly through PayPal with a minimum of only $10.

Adsense Alternatives - ReviewMe

ReviewMe is another PayPerPost (PPP) kind of ad network, with a twist. The contract between the ad network and the blogger makes it mandatory to disclose the fact that you are blogging for money, but certainly not this one because I am not paid to write this post. Luckily, my blog is old enough to join ReviewMe, and I join to this program and try to discover it more. But that's not the only difference. Whereas a single fee per post is charged to advertiser for any bloggers, ReviewMe determines the set price by using an algorithm based on Alexa, Technorati and other statistics. The asked price varies, from 30$, up to an enticing 1,000$ per post, depending on your blog importance in the blogosphere...

Adsense Alternatives - Text Link Ads

I have discussed about Amazon Associate program in the previous post. This time, I would like to introduce another monetization method that is compatible with Adsense. It is Text Link Ads. I have been reading good things around the blogosphere about Text Link Ads, so I decided to check them out.

First of all, the most important advantage of Text Link Ads (TLA for short) is that it is compatible with contextual advertising such as Google Adsense. Hence, putting TLA together with Adsense will not violate Google's TOS. At TLA, there are two ways to monetize your blog. One is by Affiliate banners + buttons and the other one is by Text links/ ads...

Adsense Alternatives - Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN)

Adwords and Adsense are the two complimentary programs that help Google generates billions of dollars a year. In this market, Google is having the biggest market share in internet advertising. In light of this, Yahoo need to keep up the pace with Google and start a very similar contextually-targeted ad program called Yahoo! Publisher Network (YPN).

Adsense Arbitrage - Automation

As we saw in part II AdSense Arbitrage: Keyword Selection, finding the right set of circumstances where AdSense Arbitrage is going to work requires a bit of work. You've got to get a large enough set of related keywords, get some prices, and then compare and look for the right opportunity. If you read Rae's blog then you might remember her post on Legitimate Use of Mechanical Grunts, which is a perfect for this situation. However after you get the keywords, and price you're still going to have to sift through all that data. I was talking with Scott (aka Web Professor) last week and he pointed me in the direction of Standard deviation.

Ok there is going to be a little math here, and it may look really scary and look like it's going to make your head hurt. Trust me it’s OK we can get through this really. I hate reading those long boring overly complicated search engine patents just as much as you do, so I'll keep things simple. The big formula is coming brace yourself...

Adsense Arbitrage - Selection of Keywords

In part I Performing AdSense Arbitrage, we went over the basics of how AdSense arbitrage works. In this part we're going to roll up our sleeves and look at some actual keywords and see if we can find some areas where we might like to try some arbitrage.

While high paying keyword lists may be somewhat useful it's important to understand how those lists are generated and some of their limitations (see Contextual Advertising with AdSense High-Paying Keywords, Part 2 (series) for a more in depth discussion). I like to start with the Overture bid tool, and if things look OK then go into Google Adwords tool. It's been my experience that with the AdWords keyword tool there is quite often a substantial difference between what they estimate I will pay and what I actually end up paying for a keyword...

Adsense Preview Tool

After earning your first $10 from Adsense

There are quite a lot of publishers in Adsense Help Group asking why they cannot change their forms of payment, after reaching the first $10 threshold. No worry, you are not facing any technical problem. As you may know, the total number of publishers in Adsense around the world is huge, even the new publishers that participate Adsense everyday. You can realize that there are also large numbers of publishers who have earned their respective $10 from Adsense.

Avoiding Ads Blindness

I am sure you have the following experience: visit a site, focus on the content, ignore the Ads skyscraper on the right hand side. Maybe for the first few times, you are aware of the presence of the ads. But later on, you simply ignore them. This situation is known as Adsense Blindness. Adsense blindness is a topic that is becoming more relevant with each passing day based on the enormous success of Google's Adsense program. The amazing success of the Adsense program has led to what seems like universal adoption of Google's ad serving technology. The problem is that the ubiquity of Adsense is causing more and more people to unconsciously filter Adsense ads as they view websites. The question that this article seeks to answer is what can be done to recapture the revenue that is being lost?

Bad Cheques From Google Bounces Back

I came across a blog written by MobileJones, and he has a very special experience with Google Adsense. This experience is pretty bad and no one wants to try. One day, he got the cheque from Google after he has earned more than $100 threshold for the previous month. He took that bank cheque to the local bank as usual, and wants to deposit it. However, the most incredible thing happened to him - the check was bounced back! Google wrote a bad check to its publisher! Gosh! I don't know the story afterwards and whether Google will send him another valid cheque...

Cheque from Bidvertiser! A Comprehensive Review of Bidvertiser

Remember I have just finished the viability test on Bidvertiser at the end of June? Many people at that time were curious why I am displaying Bidvertiser ads. Am I being banned by Google. And I have answered them in my previous post. The overall performance of Bidvertiser is not that good, as compared with Google Adsense. Google Adsense has several distinct features and advantages over the rest of PPC networks. First, Google is a well-known company that everyone knows about it. Its service is trust-worthy and must be not be a scam. Also, it has the top search engine that everyone is relying on and the scope of displaying ads is much wider, even wider than its rival - Yahoo!. Because of these factors and advantages, advertisers are keen to pay and display ads in Google network. This makes the database of advertisers in Google to become so big that Google can still display highly relevant ads to your niche site...

Choosing high-paid Keyword - 1

Getting on the bandwagon for profits and increasing your website traffic in the balance might sound like an easy task, but in reality very few marketers are able to be successful on their own without some advice, guidance and shortcuts. Finding and implementing high profit, low competition keywords in your ads really is the trick for making Adsense payoff big...

Choosing Keyword - 2

I know that there are so many websites selling their so-called "high-paid" keywords from time to time. They even claim they can update all the statistics for every month. I would not challenge them. But I would not pay hundreds of bucks to buy such list, because it doesn't worth that much. In the light of it, I decide to put a FREE list of high-paid keywords and hope you guys will find it useful. One point that I want to make is that, I realize that the list may somehow out-dated. But I don't think there will be much deviation from the actual reality. Please tell me if you know there is an updated list of high-paid keywords, by leaving me a comment. (Since one comment reminds me that I should not post all the keywords on a single page, or Google will treat me as keyword spamming. I then covert them into jpg file, and get away from the problem)

Choosing Keyword - 3

I just recently found a website that list out all the top paying keywords for different letters. It is worth to take you several minutes to dig out some good keywords.

Maximize your sites advertising revenue by targeting higher paying keywords. Use our free lists to find high paying keywords. Google will deliver ads based on these higher priced keywords, thus yielding you significantly more revenue per click. Why target keywords that only pay you pennies per click when you could be getting dollars by targeting the higher paying keywords.

"Welcome! You're signed in to Google Accounts under the email [your email address] and your Google Account password, but this is not a valid AdSense login." Are you one of them?

Common Mistakes in Adsense

I am quite sure that you must hear, from time to time, some people have their adsense account being banned. Of course, Google would not ban your account without any reasons. There must be some reasons or mistake that a person has made, so that Google has the concrete evidence to terminate your Adsense account. In the light of that, I would like to take this chance to write a post that share the common mistakes that you may make. I hope, after reading this post, you can avoid doing such silly mistakes and avoid being banned...

Defend Your Site Against Plagiarism

I think many bloggers and Gsensers have encountered this situation before and currently: your hardworks and articles has been copied words-and-words from your site and used as "their content".

Does High-paid Keyword Works in Adsense?

Do high paying google adsense keywords work? Yes without any doubt if you are targeting adsense ads that advertisers are willing to pay high to get targeted visitors because that would be an important business for them, you should really benefit. Instead of earning a few cents per click, you will earn several dollars per click. Now this is indeed a huge difference. This can quickly add up. Usually adsense ads that pay well are in competitive fields whereby it's difficult to get a top search engine ranking and advertisers are paying top dollars to get a high ranking on adwords along with the organic search engine listings. Adsense keywords like mesothelioma, asbestos cancer, asbestos, debt consolidation, refinance, home equity loans, structured settlement, acne, make money and others are among the top paying ones. The high paying adsense keywords usually range between $1-$50 but this is not static and can change depending how much advertisers are willing to pay for. But don't just think that it's that easy to cash in on those keywords...

Enrich Your Site with Content

'Content is King'. I am sure every publishers in Gsense must heard of it. Website content, as articles, has taken center stage as web publishers scramble to differentiate their online offers. As both the quantity and quality of articles have accelerated, so too have online directories.

Free Methods to Get Traffic for New Blogs

Blog is the one of the most popular medium that enables publishers to start earning money with Adsense. Content is the very first thing that you need to have. After that, driving traffic to your blog is also a very difficult part. Questions on driving traffic to the blog are always the most popular question to be raised in Adsense Help Discussion Group. Joining PPC advertising program can be one effective way, but not every blog publisher can't afford to pay to join such program. In this post, I am going to discuss three quickest yet free method that drive the first stream of traffic to your blog...

Generate Readership with Your Blog

Search engine is one of the greatest thing on the internet, and in fact, it changes the way how people surf the net. Search engines are also important to an adsensers. Without a doubt, you can drive traffic to your site/blog whenever a person searches a term. But one thing you need to realize, can you really get your site to the top 10 result pages? If not, do you think you can get significant traffic from search engines? I don't think so. In light of this, I think you better find other solid way to improve your traffic without search engines.

Get Quality Content for Adsense

Content is King. I am quite sure that everyone knows this sentence. But where can you find the content? If you have plenty of spare time, of course it is not a big problem. What about the others? After doing research on high-paid keywords, you need to kick start to find and grab more information from different sources.

There are businesses on the Internet that you can get quality, SEO-savvy, original content articles for a very good price. In these cases, you hire a website to get their authors to produce original AdSense content specifically for your AdSense site. There is clearly no better way than having 100% unique AdSense content for your AdSense web site that is keyword optimized so you can make money with it. Also, copyright infringement is one thing that you should never neglect...

Getting Backlinks To Your Site

One of the important concepts in SEO is to get as many inbound (backlink) links to your site as possible. This is also called the Off-Page Optimization (You can also read here on my post on how to do the On-Page Optimization). Most often, the off-page optimization is the most difficult part to handle with, since it is difficult to ask someone to put a back link on a page that does not belong to yours.

One of the common way to get back links to your site is to submit your sites to various web directories (or blog directories too if you are using blog). I too operate a web directory where it is FREE to get listed. With that said, many of these directories have both a high Page Rank AND are old websites, giving them more authority and power in the search engines...

Get Relevant ads in Password Protected Pages

Most often, we may have webpages that are protected by password, and one is required to have the password in order to gain the access. This is pretty much the same case as the Google's bot. If Google bot encounter the password-required page, it cannot enter the gate and crawl the right keywords right behind the gate. Therefore, this results in the displaying of irrelevant ads. Originally, webmasters need to bear such cost if they insist to show Adsense ads in the password-protected page. But recently, Google launched a new feature that allow webmaster to 'tell' the password to the Google's bot. This new feature is known as the 'Site Authentication'...

Get Quality Links Through Article Directory Submission

Search engine optimization is getting more and more difficult by the day. The search engines are evolving at an incredible speed, making it harder for us SEOs to rank our websites highly.

With that said, there are a few tried and true principles that we need to do when optimizing our website. The first of which, and the one that I always tell people to concentrate on is getting quality, 1 way links pointing to your website...

Higher Bidding Price of Advertisers in Bidvertiser

One important point for choosing an Adsense alternative to make money is that that program should has high earning per click.

Undoubtedly, the best paying PPC program is Adsense at the moment, and that's why so many publishers stick to this...

How can I Reapply After Being Disabled?

For some unlucky reasons (mostly due to the invalid click activity), your adsense account would be disabled by Google. Although Google strongly emphasize that they have sophisticated tracking programs, as well as human monitoring, to track for the invalid clicks, they often make mistake and charge some innocent Adsense publishers, and take away their rights of participating this program in the rest of his or her life time. I must admit that this is definitely unfair...

From time to time, it is normal for CTR to vary and fluctuate, within an acceptable range. If that is the case, there is no need to worry too much, since random drops of CTR always occur. Take my sites as an example; I have encountered a very low CTR that dropped to only 0.53%. But I wouldn't care too much on that, since this kind of nightmare-decline only appears very rarely, and most importantly, will be back to normal within a short period of time. However, situation is different if that kind of CTR drop lasts for a long time. In today's post, I am going to tell you how to deal with that...

How to Determine the Value of Your Blog

I have a previous post on how much does your site worth, and the result is, to me, simply for fun. It is because the system does not take all the things into the account and does not give an appropriate weighting to different factors. As a result of that, the system gets the inaccurate result. Anyway, it is always good to use human's mind to determine the value instead. When determining the value, what are the most important factors to consider? Below are some of my suggestions that one can use when he or she is trying to sell his or her blog...

How to Double your Adsense Revenue?

If everything about two blogs are identical (theme, traffic and contents) but differ only in Google Adsense placement, will their income be the same? I asked this to myself and look what I found; their income will most likely different. The worst case scenario is that one blog's income maybe one third of the other.

If you frequent any of the AdSense forums chances are you've come across the phrase "AdSense Arbitrage", while it's been around for a while a lot of people don’t understand what it is, or how it works.

How to Track Adsense Clicks

Many Gsense publishers always want to know how they can track the clicks on the Adsense ads. I once suggested them to use Adlogger, but since on Adlogger's homepage, it announces that this third-party software is no longer functional and accurate. Until Today, I have found one useful tool in seobook.com that enables us to track the Adsense clicks again. This tool is a free script that integrates with the Google Analytics, and to allow you to track your adsense clicks...

Google Adsense to Acquire DoubleClick

Implementing Section Targeting to get relevant ads

Is it good to have more than one advertiser?

The day before yesterday, I have implemented both Bidvertiser and Kontera in my site for monetization. It is my test on the viability of the Adsense alternative. I thought it is a good idea to have both of them on page so that there would be two streams of income at the same time. The rationale behind this sounds logical, right? When I surf the net, I have even found some bloggers or webmasters even have three or four ad networks for monetization on their sites and blogs. However, the basic question is 'is it good to have more than one ad networks within a page'? Will these networks together generate more money and revenue for the webmaster?

Links in Wikipedia - Helpful in Page Rank?

As you may know, Wikipedia has a PageRank of 8 which is really high. Many people is hoping to get a link from a high PR site, as it has positive effect on a site's PR for getting such link. Since Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that allows everyone to edit it, many webmasters have a habit or eager to try to post their links in the relevant topics in Wikipedia.

However, is it really useful, no matter in terms of getting a higher PR, or getting a better crawling by search engines' spiders, to post links in Wikipedia?

Make a Expandable Post Summary

As you can see from my blogs or other blogs, you may encounter that there maybe a little snippet showing 'Read More', or 'more....' at the end of a post summary. This is particularly good when you have a very long article. You see a portion of the text at the beginning of each post as the teaser and then click on 'Read More' for the full text. I'm going to attempt to make this sound a bit easier and show you how I accomplished this little trick...

Making Adsense to Work for You

I recently read an article by Erol Aliciabout Adsense and I think this one is quite suitable for Adsense newbie to read: 'If you have been online for quite some time you might have noticed those tiny ads on many websites with the little 'ads by google' notice beneath them. These ads are called 'AdSense', they are paid advertisements and can be a very lucrative income source for the person posting them on his/her website. Whenever someone visits your website Google displays these ads which are very targeted to your websites content...

The ultimate purpose for doing such PIN process is to enhance the security for money transaction...

More Ads in Oxado for Publishers

Two days ago, I have added a new 120x240 banner inside the post with Oxado ads and replace the Bidvertiser ads. I have previously review Oxado at its surface, for those readers who have missed it, you can check it here. There are two reasons behind: one is that I would like to know the viability of the Oxado ads, to see how it compares to that of Bidvertiser ads. On the other hand, I can see that there are great improvements done by Oxado. Recently, Oxado is getting a bigger and bigger advertiser base, and starts to serve ads in other languages, including traditional Chinese that best fits for Hong Kong publishers(I always suspect I am the only publisher who use Oxado ads in Hong Kong)...

Most Expensive Domain Name

Thanks to Ric in Adsense Help Group. He shared one articles named 'Most Expensive Domain Name'. It reveals that domain name can also be a big business. If you have a website that have a good domain or easy-to-memorize domain name, your site can be sold for a higher price. Anyway, let's check it out...

Never Buy any CDs or Packages for Adsense

I have received some enquiries on what should they do after buying a CD or packages for Adsense. I would then ask them where did they buy from, and the answer is the same - people they don' know. I know that when one comes across with Google Adsense for his first time, he will be attracted by the earning potential of it. But if he comes across this in a stranger site, and tells him that he only need to buy a cheap CD package, and he will then be the next success person in Adsense. But at the end, when he knows that he still need a set of Adsense code to function, he can do nothing. This is ridiculous...

New Adsense Payment Option - Western Union

When I was not here for nearly 4 months, there are many updates from Google Adsense. Though they may not be a hot and fresh announcement anymore, I think it is worth to mention in this blog again which specifically talk about Google Adsense. If you are already familiar with these 'updates', you can simply ignore these posts, and move forwards to the rest of my blog.

The first update I am going to say is the new payment option - the Western Union. In addition to the existing payments like cheques and EFT, Western Union is the third option you can take, if you are within the designated countries. This is pretty much like EFT where only limited locations are available...

New Alexa Ranking Algorithms

Alexa ranking is a very useful indictor to see how much traffic flowed to the website I concerned, and the level of popularity. But it had its own deficiency is that it only count the visits from those who have installed Alexa Toolbar. To many people, like me, who are disgusted to install too many toolbars in browser, they will refuse to install the Alexa Toolbar, and hence the number of visits will never be counted...

A New Benchmark of Adsense Hut

Today, it should be a good day for me and all Gsensers to remember, since there are two things here that need celebration. First of all, after I checked the number of posts in my site, it shows that I have already posted 99 articles, to share the Adsense secrets and help many Adsense people. That means, this post is exactly the 100th post! What a miracle time. As you can see, my blog is getting bigger and bigger, and the readership is also increasing. This is definitely a good encourage that every blogger needs to continue blogging!

New Clarification on Blending Adsense Ads

Maybe we earned too much from Adsense from well-blended ads, especially when you have read all the tips from my blog. Because of that, Google needs to take some measures to stop this kind of ads blending, and made some clarifications on this issue. So, webmasters bear in mind of the following points, or your Adsense account will be at risk...

That means if you want to continue to participate in this Adsense program like me, you have to accept it...

Newsletter - Another Useful Tool to Drive Traffic to Your Site

After mentioning about the six most important factors in driving factors, here comes to a useful tool in the internet that is often omitted by most webmasters. When it comes to making money on the internet, getting high volumes of traffic is the key. As web site traffic goes up, so too does click through revenue, since click through rates tend to be somewhat consistent. If we can assume that 5% of web site visitors (that is a pretty normal CTR indeed) will click your AdSense ads, the site that gets 500 unique visitors per day can expect to make five times the amount of money as the site with a mere 100 unique visitors. It is easy to see therefore why so much focus goes into boosting web site traffic, and why a veritable cottage industry has sprung up to help webmasters drive targeted traffic to their sites...

Niche blogging - Is it better than normal blogging?

What is better - to have one blog covering several topics or divide it and have a portfolio of blogs and focus each blog on one topic (niche blogging)? As I surf the net, I found the common trend is on one subject per blog. At first I did not appreciate this idea. I did not see the difference in having one blog with several categories or several blogs covering each subject. But as I look closely on the issue I found some strong arguments for niche blogging strategy. Running one blog with several categories is simpler in many ways...

No worry, buddies!

It is a bit out of my expectation that there are sooooo many people concerning why I am displaying Bidvertiser ads. At the same time, they are so concerned whether I have been banned by Google. I received those concerns mainly through emails and comments here. Until today, when there are two more people in Adsense Help Group asked me the same question. I decide to write a post to clarify it, although I have been planning to do so for a long time...

Number of RSS Readers Drop Dramatically

If you have a blog, I am sure you must have your own feed and even get your feed burned in Feedburner.com. I have checked my site here twice, and can't even find a post that talks about the advantages of burning your feed. How dare I miss that? I promise I will discuss this topic in the near future. But before I move on to the topic of burning a feed, I would like to tell you that the number of RSS readers in this blog has halved!

It may sound dumb but going after those often forgotten, highly targeted keywords can increase your search traffic by leaps and bounds. Here are some things you can do to increase your search traffic for long tail keywords...

Optimization Tips for Forum Site

Many Gsense publishers used forum to display Adsense ads to monetize their sites. However, one problem that commonly occurs is the low CTR. Since the visitor are regular members, and already get use to the ad block and other banner, he/she will have fewer tendencies to click the ads. That is also called 'Ad Blindness'. In order to improve the performance of Adsense within a forum site, no matter it is a big or small forum, there are some suggestions that you can follow...

Page Rank Assigned!

If you have a Google Toolbar installed in your browser (mine using IE), you can see that Google has recently update the pagerank of websites. I also have two other new websites, and they both have a PageRank of 4.

From my SEO experience, I think it is not a problem for your site to have a PageRank of 4, if you are willing to put in your time and effort. The most difficult task of SEO practice should be getting the backlink from other sites (esp. those with high PR)...

Promoting your site away from Internet

Protect Adsense Account Yourself

Reporting Invalid/ Sabotage Clicks to Google Adsense

From the Adsense Help Group, I often see that there are some queries about how to deal with the invalid clicks, or even those clicks that are sabotage! It is stated very clearly in the Adsense program policies that it is prohibited to click your own Adsense ads in any occasion. Google treats invalid clicks very seriously and will easily terminate your Adsense account because of this. On the other hand, I know that there must be some occasions that a webmaster will accidentally click on his/her ads. How should you deal with that? Will it cause you to the account termination too? No worry. The very first thing that you need to do is to fill in the form Google provides and give it back to them...

Results of SEO so far

Round Cornered Ads Available

If you login your Adsense account, you can see that there are new customization of ad formats there. Google Adsense announced, in addition to the three link units policy two weeks ago, that there are new customization for the corners of ads with three different options: Square, Slightly rounded and Very rounded. To get started with these new ad shapes, visit the 'AdSense Setup' tab in your account. As with all format options like sizes and colors, different corner styles will perform better for different publishers. As a general rule, always select the one that best fits your site's environment. Although generally speaking the cornered ads may perform better, if your site has lots of frame in right angle, then of course there would be some mismatch if you have chosen the cornered ads...

Say Goodbye to Onsite Advertiser Sign-up

The recent findings from Google indicates that the Onsite Advertiser Sign-up feature, which allowed advertisers to sign up for AdWords campaigns on your site, hasn't been performing as well as they had hoped. As a result of that, they've elected to gracefully retire this feature and focus our efforts on developing and supporting features that drive better monetization results for you. Call it time management, call it ROI, call it their unwavering commitment to publishers. I really hope that terminating this feature will allow us to earn more from Google...

Sell Your Advertising Space Yourself

As you are old enough in this money-making industry, you will start to realize that relying on Google Adsense for monetization is quite risky. Not only because you may not get desirable earning from it, but also due to the fact that you will get banned without any reasons. I really mean it, as you may know, I have been disabled by Google several times...

Surge of Traffic in One Day

I use to have a sitemeter in all of my sites, in order to record all the daily traffic, and the source of traffic. To me, I even prefer sitemeter to Google Analytics since sitemeter can provide a real-time traffic log whereas Analytics cannot. I can also know, from the sitemeter, the details of each traffic to my site, including the IP address, the entry page, the exit page etc...

Three Link Units Allowed

When I went and visited the Adsense blog earlier this morning, I noticed there is a new amendment on the program policies. Originally, all Adsense publishers are allowed to display one link unit, and Google would ignore the rest of the code, even if you had implemented. But now, you are allowed to display three link units per page. That mean, from now on, you can have 3 Adsense for Content units, 3 link units, 2 search boxes...

Unsatisfied Result with Oxado

I mentioned in the previous post that I was amazed with the new improvement made by Oxado. As I have said, there are more ads in its database of Oxado that allows the publishers of other countries and places, including Hong Kong, to display ads. I was really amazed and though that would be a good complementary choice of ads with Bidvertiser. I then decided to replace the Bidvertiser ad unit inside each post with Oxado ads, and sit back to wait for money to come. First day, no click; second day, no click; third day, no click ... I have waited for over a week and there's still no single click. And so, I need to insert my favorite ad network back - the Bidvertiser ad...

Useful Keyword Suggestion Tools

By comparing the number of searches for that items in various search engines and also the number of existing sites, you will then be able to select those worthwhile keyword and start to build a niche site...

Useless Adsense Optimization Report

Every month, Google will prepare an "optimization" report for every publisher. Its original purpose is good – to help publishers to get more revenue from Adsense. But how useful the report is? Do you really benefit from it?

Use Oxado with Adsense Together

For a long time, Google Adsense Terms of Service prohibited having any other contextual advertising on the same page as theirs, and that included Oxado and Bidvertiser banners. However, the relevant policy has been changed last year, and now the only requirement is that the ads from two ad networks must not resemble with each other and there is no risk of confusion, and that ads other than Google's be recognized as such, basically by using a different set of colors. You can see it in their own terms here...

Ways that Google detects Invalid clicks

We always hear that Google has a sophisticated system to detect the invalid clicks, and result in termination of the cheaters' account. But, how can Google do that? In this post, I summarize those ways that Google depends on to detect whether the clicks on your site are invalid or not. Google will not first ban your account immediately. Rather, they will first flag your account and Google will keep a closer eye to your account. In some occasion, they may send you a warning letter to notify your situation; but sometimes not...
