How to Monetize Your Free Website

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 20:04:00 -0700

For some time now I have been aggressively marketing my Geocities website without the prospect of any financial return. The site is content based so I did not expect to generate any product sales and neither was I able to lure potential
sponsors.

But that has quietly changed. Google has decided to reward webmasters with quality free websites the chance to rake in some cash for their hard work. Google’s contextual advertising program Adsense has been around since June 2003. Back then the program was open only to webmasters with their own domain names and many quickly took up the opportunity to cash in on their labor of love sites.

When the Big G announced that they were expanding Adsense to accommodate free sites, some people scoffed at the idea because they believe that freebie sites are full of junk. I first learnt of this move while browsing around a few webmaster forums and to my surprise some persons were against this move by Google. I believe that Google’s intention is to bring in as much as possible quality websites under the Adsense umbrella.

My first application for Adsense was rejected and I got an explanation stating that my site was still under construction. I thought that this was a mistake so I reapplied the same day and got accepted. Right away I was able to log in to my account and start putting the code for the ads on my pages.

The control panel is easy to understand and Google provides stats and figures in order for you to track your performance. You can also add Adsense for search where visitors can search the web or your site and you get compensated everytime someone clicks on the ads displayed. Developing content sites is key to success in Adsense. Why? Because Google’s technology uses the content of each page to guess which ads are most suitable.

The higher the quality of the content, the higher quality and paying ads you will attract. Please note that getting accepted into Adsense does not guarantee that you will receive a check from them. Your success depends on many factors. Some of them include the number of visitors, the placement of the ads, the value of the keywords on the page where the ads are shown and how many persons who will clickthru on the Adsense ad panel.

For those with unscrupulous minds, Google has ways and means to find out where each ad click is originating from. Therefore no click spamming. Adsense is a win-win situation for all the players involved. It benefits the visitors with additional information, the search engines because of higher quality websites and you with a check every month. It makes perfect sense to make dollars with Adsense. With this source of revenue, you can upgraded your website and take it to it’s full potential.

How the most Successful AdSense Publishers make $1,000’s of Dollars Per Month

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:49:00 -0700

One of things that frustrated me most about AdSense was not knowing what ads worked the best for the ‘big boys’ so I decided to take a look at 8 of the case studies of successful AdSense publisher which is put out by Google

https://google.com/adsense/success.

The sites I choose were: TestMagic.com, SeatGuru.com, RealAdventures.com, PVRBlog.com, WIFInder.com, BBWExchange.com, Our-Hometown.com, PetPlace.com. I don’t know about you but many of these sites I hadn’t heard of before writing this report. Do you know what that tells me? It says to me that you can have a relatively unknown web site and still earn well over $1,000 per month on it.

Copyright Disclaimer: The screen shots of these web sites were taken with out their permission and are demonstrated in a learning matter. I claim no copyright to their designs and everything that you see in this report is just my observation.

I hope you enjoyed reading this eBook because I enjoyed researching the sites. In conclusion I would like to point out what I felt was important to these sites.

1. The site has a unique niche and is loaded with related content
2. For the most part the domain name was related to what the site does (might have some influence on AdSense)
3. 160 x 600 Wide Skyscraper format was very popular, and often seen to the right of an article.
4. A few of the sites believed it was more important to get the visitor to view other pages then see an ad on the homepage.
This may be a good method depending on what your site is.
5. The ads were unobtrusive and either fit in with the design of the site or looked like recommended links.

Using Google AdWords for AdSense Sites

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:46:00 -0700

Some AdSense publishers use Google AdWords to drive traffic to their sites. Now, in case you didn’t know, Google AdWords is the program that supplies the ads that you are showing on your site with Google AdSense. Does it make sense to use AdWords to promote an AdSense site? In some cases, it does.

It is tricky, however. Remember that you are targeting high paying keywords. This means that if you target those same keywords with your own AdWords campaign, you would be paying a large amount of money. You also run the risk of not having the money that you earn from AdSense cover the cost of your AdWords ads.

Here is the secret. First, set a budget for your AdWords campaign that you can afford to pay, regardless of your AdSense income. Next, don’t choose the same keywords for your AdWords ads as you do for your AdSense site. Now you are probably wondering how that would work out.
Let’s say that your website is focused on the topic of weight loss for diabetic women. You could target a lower paying keyword for your AdWords campaign, such as diabetes or diabetic supplies. Again, it is tricky, and it does take some thought.

It is vital that you keep a close eye on your ad campaigns and your clicks. You can easily see how much you’ve spent, and how much you’ve earned in relation to what you have spent. If you are spending more than you are earning, you need to rethink using Google AdWords, or tweak and tune until you are earning more than you spend.

Aside from that, setting up a Google AdWords campaign is very easy. You simply sign up for the program, write your ad, choose your keywords, set your budget, set how much you are willing to pay for each click, and activate the ad to run.

While you are targeting different keywords, those keywords may be relevant enough to your site for the ad to appear on your own site! You don’t want this to happen. Go into your AdSense account, and using the filter, exclude your site from appearing in ads on your site.

You can target your own keywords with your AdWords ads also, but again, this is tricky, and you need to make sure that you are bidding low for those keywords. That, in turn, gets you less traffic, but with a budget set, Google will work to get your ad clicked on each day until the daily budget has been met.

Ideally, you should not use Google AdWords to promote a Google AdSense site until you have a thorough understanding of how each program works, and you are sure that you can generate more income than you are spending on the AdWords ads.

Again, use caution, and remember that you will be paying for each click that you receive. Also, take advantage of free credits for AdWords. Google offers free credits for signing up, and you can elect to take surveys and such for which you will be given credits as well.

These credits can add up, and you should take advantage of them whenever possible. It is important to note that if you are going to pay for traffic, you should not waste that traffic. Start building an opt-in list, so that you can recycle that traffic!

To build an opt-in list, you need an Autoresponder, such as Aweber.com and you need to put code on every single page for people to sign up for your list. Once someone signs up, you can bring them back to your site over and over again through email marketing.

Social Networking for AdSense Revenue

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:43:00 -0700

Have you heard of MySpace.com? If not, it means that you’ve been living in a cave somewhere in the middle of nowhere, with no access to any news what-so-ever. MySpace is the most popular social networking site in existence, and it’s one of the most trafficked sites on the Internet today.

What does this mean for you? It means that you can use it to drive traffic to your AdSense site. You can take advantage of all of the traffic that MySpace gets. It’s sitting there waiting for you to come and get it!

Social Networking is an element of Web 2.0 that has really gained in popularity over the years. Everyone is doing it, and this is a great way to find and drive traffic. Simply go to http://www.myspace.com and set up your profile. It’s free. You can find a multitude of free layouts for your MySpace page, and really dress it up. Once your page is ready to go, start networking with other people.

Visit other people’s pages, and request to be added to their friends list. When you are on their friends list, they are on yours. Build your friends list. MySpace will provide you with a blog. Blog about various topics within your niche, and be sure to use your keywords. This gets indexed in the search engines. In all blog posts, point to your website. You will also be building inbound links to your site for search engine optimization purposes.

Post comments on other people’s pages. This is similar to visiting other people’s blogs and posting comments for the purpose of driving traffic to your own blog, but you will be driving traffic to your own profile page instead – and ultimately to your website.
Next, join groups that relate to your topic. Post messages to the group, and use your signature file. This is much like forum marketing. You can also send broadcasts out to your friends through MySpace.

Be sure to post your website as your favorite website on your profile as well! The one thing that you must not do is advertise to your friends. You will lose them very quickly. You can even get banned from MySpace for being a ‘spammer.’

MySpace is geared towards young adults. If your topic wouldn’t be of any interest to them, find a different networking site. There are numerous such sites out there. Ecademy.com and LinkedIn.com are two such examples. FacE-Book.com is also quite popular.

The key is to be active. Each week, post to the blog on your social networking profile. Send out a broadcast, post a message to your groups, post comments on your friend’s pages, and find new friends as well.
You can find more information about social networking, and more social networking sites, by typing in ‘social networking’ in your favorite search engine. Social networking is big. It’s where people are going when they log on to their personal computers (and often their computers at work).

Traffic comes from traffic. You get traffic from the search engines not only because you rank high, but because that search engine gets traffic. You get traffic from forum marketing because the forums that you participate in get traffic.

Since traffic essentially comes from traffic, you need to make social networking a part of your overall traffic generation strategy – because the social networking sites have tons of traffic.
Be careful! Social Networking is fun, and you can find that you spend too much time doing it, and not pay attention to other promotional techniques. This is a mistake. Make sure that you participate regularly, but on a schedule. Have a starting and stopping time before you login to the site! Remember your purpose.

SEO for AdSense Sites

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:41:00 -0700

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, plays an important role in advertising a website. This is how you get a higher listing in the search results, when keywords that are relevant to your website are searched for. The more optimized your site is, the higher it will be in the search engine results.

This brings what is known as natural search traffic to your website. Natural search traffic means that someone found your site in the search engine results because it was naturally listed high enough for them to find it. You didn’t pay to get it listed higher.

There are two types of SEO: on site and offsite. Off site is the easiest to explain, and all it entails is getting inbound links to your site. This means that you get a link to your site listed on other people’s websites.

However, they must be quality links for the search engines to pay any attention to them. You want to get your link on sites that are important. The search engine considers sites that have a high Google page rank, and a low Alexa rank important.

The more quality inbound links you get, the more important your own site becomes, as far as the search engines are concerned. Above all, do not use link farms, and avoid reciprocal linking. You can get your link on sites by participating in the forums with a signature file, or by commenting on blogs and such.

When you are getting links on other sites, mix it up. Don’t just link to your main page all the time. Search engines become more interested when they see multiple sites linking to various pages on your site, instead of just the main one. Build inbound links slowly. Search engines become suspicious when you get too many inbound links too fast!

There are numerous elements of on site SEO. First, you want very clean HTML code. Search engines don’t like messy code that contains numerous errors. Use an HTML code validator to check your code.

Make sure that you use your keywords appropriately. First, you should have a keyword density of 2 to 3%. If there are 1200 words on the page, your keyword should appear 24 to 36 times in that content.

Use your keywords in all ‘alt’ tags. There are alt tags for tables, graphics, and links. Also use your keywords in the ‘title’ tag which is in the ‘head’ tag at the top of the code. Search engines love links. Remember this. Do some internal linking in your content, using text links.

When linking, avoid linking words like ‘here’ or ‘click here.’ This does nothing for SEO. Instead, for example if your keyword was weight loss, you might have a link that says ‘weight loss information for women over 40.’ Make sure that you put your keywords in bold letters, and use the H1 or H2 tags for your titles and subtitles, which should also contain your keywords.

Build a site map, upload it to your server, and link to it on all of your pages. Search engines love site maps. In fact, Google makes it easy to create a free site map that you can use for your site.

Do not use any hidden text. Do not spam your keywords. Use them in natural ways. Write natural sentences. Search engines are very hard to fool, and if you use ‘black hat’ SEO techniques, the search engine spiders will simply stop visiting, and your site won’t get listed!

Finally, do not use any content on your site that can be found elsewhere. All of your content must be original, or the search engine will view it as duplicate content, and ignore it.

Applying Forum Marketing for AdSense Sites

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:38:00 -0700

Forum marketing has been around as long as forums have existed. Forums are known by a variety of names: bulletin boards and message boards are common names. A forum is essentially where people with an interest in a specific topic post messages, where other people who are members of that forum can reply to them. It’s a great way to share and learn information about a topic of interest.

Forum marketing is a great way to drive traffic to your site. Now, before you run to the nearest forum that relates to your topic and post a message about your wonderful website, you need to know that the quality forums (the forums that you want to participate in) are not going to allow you to do that.

So, how can you advertise your AdSense site in the forums, without advertising? You use a signature file. This is allowed in most forums. A signature file is essentially text that has your name, your website address, and maybe a small slogan. It looks like this:

First and Last Name
http://www.yourwebsite.com
Everything You Wanted To Know About Your Topic – And Then Some.

You use your signature file at the bottom of all of your posts. Some forums allow you to set up your signature file in your profile, and every time you make a post, it will automatically be inserted at the bottom.

Now, there are several ways that you can use the forums. First, you can seek out posts that you can reply to. Second, you can post questions that others reply to. You can also just post pertinent information.

To find forums that relate to your topic, go to any search engine, and type in your topic discussion. If your topic is fishing, you would type in fishing discussion. You will get a huge number of results.

You want to pick out about five forums to actively participate in. Ideally, you will make at least one post per day in each forum that you participate in, so choose a number of forums that you have time to post in each day.

When looking at the forums, you want forums where there are a large number of members – 500 to 1000 are good. You also want one that is active. Look at the dates of the most recent posts. Were they today or yesterday? If not, the forum isn’t active enough for your purposes.
You want to avoid forums where all of the posts are advertisements. They may have a large number of members, and it may be active, but nobody is reading the posts. Instead, they are just posting advertisements.

Make sure that your posts are relevant and stay on topic. Failing to do so can get you banned from the forum, and it can also quickly ruin your reputation within your niche. When you make a post, make sure that it is grammatically correct, and that everything is spelled correctly.

Never, ever ‘flame’ people in the forums. When you flame someone, you are essentially starting a fight. This won’t be tolerated. It is, however, okay to disagree with someone in the forums, as long as it is done in a civil and polite way. Always remember your purpose – to drive traffic to your website.

When you see a post that relates to specific information on your site, you can drive people to that page within your post. This is not advertising, because you aren’t selling anything.
There is another way to use forums to your advantage. Set up a forum on your own website. You can publish your AdSense ads there, and you can build up a following.

These people will visit your forum on a regular basis, because they are interested in the topic, and they want to communicate with others who are interested in the topic.

Building AdSense Site Traffic with Videos

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:35:00 -0700

Video is becoming more and more important to cyber citizens, and essentially to online business owners, and even to AdSense site owners. You can drive traffic to your sites with the use of video and free video websites. Everybody loves video. Even Google now offers video ads for AdSense.
Sites like Google Video, You Tube, and Yahoo Video get tons of traffic every single day, and you can easily take advantage of that. You have two options for creating video. You can use a digital video camera, or you can use screen capture video software.

With a digital video camera, you can make a video of basically anything, and then upload that video to your computer, and then to the video websites. With screen capture video software, you don’t need a camera. You can just make a video of what is appearing on your computer screen.
For instance, if you have a website that reviews software, for which you earn AdSense revenue and affiliate revenue from software sales, you could purchase the software, and make a video that shows people how to use it. Videos such as these are in high demand. Just make sure that the video that you produce is relevant to the topic of your website.

Once you have a video, you want to be sure that it is of high quality. It should sound right and look right, and you may want to try it out on different computers to make sure that it is as good as you can get it. You do not want to present a video to the public that doesn’t have good quality, because this is a bad reflection on you.

Next, sign up for a free account at the three popular video sites, and upload your video. Create a profile, and of course include your website address in that profile. You can also use software to watermark your URL on your video, so that while it is being viewed, the URL remains in plain site. When you write descriptions for your videos, be sure to include your keywords, and your URL.

There is another way that you can use video, without creating it. Again, visit the video websites, and find video that is already there, which relates to your site. It’s there and free for you to use. Start the video, and look for a button near it that says ‘embed.’ You will be given code. Paste that code on your webpage where you want the video to appear.

Now, make sure that you put a description of the video, again using your keywords, above the video. Your AdSense ads will be served focused on the keywords in that description. Make sure you list this page with the search engines as well.

This is not duplicate content, as long as you write your own unique description. The search engine spiders can see that there is a video there, but they can’t watch the video. They will pay more attention to the description that you write. This is a great way to fill up a site with content, in a very short amount of time, without having to write very much. Just simply make your site video based, or a combination of text and video or audio.

Even though the video is available elsewhere, people will still come to your site to view it. Hopefully, while they are there, they will click on some ads! You can use audio in the same way, again ensuring that you write a textual description of the audio file. This may get you even more clicks, because there is nothing to watch!

AdSense Site Traffic - Traffic Techniques to Avoid

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:25:00 -0700

There are many ways to get traffic to a site. You will most likely do research to find out about those traffic generation methods. Methods such as article marketing, forum marketing, pay-per-click advertising, social networking, blogging, and social bookmarking all work very well. But in the world of Internet Marketing, there are also traffic techniques that you should avoid, for various reasons.

Incidentally, we’ll kick start this volume of Adsense Profits Exposed! with traffic techniques you should AVOID. First, do not ever pay for traffic from a site that promises you a great deal of traffic in a short amount of time. The traffic that you get will not be targeted, and will be of no use to you at all. In fact, many of these sites are scam sites, and the traffic that you get will actually be automated traffic, not real traffic. Pay-per-click advertising, or PPC as it is known, is not the same as these sites that promise traffic for a fee.

Do not spend hours, or even use automated software to submit your site to free classified ad sites or free for all link sites. This only results in lots of spam for you. It does not result in traffic.

There is one exception: Craig’s List at http://www.craigslist.com. Craig’s List works very well and it is free. The only catch is that you cannot post identical ads in different categories or regions. You have to change the ad each time. Don’t use pop ups. People hate these, and most people now have software installed that keeps pop ups from popping. Avoid other irritating elements on your site as well, such as blinking text and music, and colors that clash.

Don’t use false statements or exaggerated statements in your advertising. This may get you traffic, but it will irritate the traffic, and they won’t click on links. Instead, they will either close the browser, or hit the back button. You may not be selling anything, but this is false advertisement none-the-less, and it makes people very angry.

There are two huge mistakes that many newcomers make. The biggest is doing nothing at all. You can build a site, but if you don’t advertise it in anyway, you are not going to get a drop of traffic.

Your Mom might visit, if you tell her about it, but that’s advertising!

The second biggest mistake is not tracking your advertising. If you don’t know what works, and what doesn’t, you will be wasting time and possibly money. Track all of your advertisements to see where your traffic comes from, and where it doesn’t come from. In the end, you will be glad that you did. Overall, that’s all that you need to avoid. Other than that, you need to make sure that you are using proven site promotion techniques, which are listed above.

These other outdated methods simply do not work. They are not worth your time, effort, or money. You need to know where the traffic comes from, and you also need to know how well your ads are performing. You may have a great amount of traffic, but few clicks. It’s important to track the traffic and the ad performance, so you know what to fix!

Increase your Bandwidth by 20%

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:00:00 -0700

Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth! Get it back

A nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)

Here's how to get it back:

Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "

This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:

Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :

"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.
works on XP Pro, and 2000
other OS not tested.

Intel Says No To Vista For Good

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:53:00 -0700

Processor maker Intel is saying pass to Windows Vista, SP1 or no SP1, delivering a heavy blow to Microsoft. Service Pack 1 is a traditional milestone which catalyzes a boost in the adoption rate for Windows operating systems. And as far as Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is concerned, Microsoft is giving out all the right signs. SP1 enhances performance, compatibility, stability, reliability, support, interoperability and so on and so forth, but one thing it fails to improve is the public perception of the operating system. And the move from Intel, a close Microsoft partner, will without a doubt contribute to perpetuating the ill aura which has been orbiting around Vista since the business launched in November 2006.

According to The Inquirer and The NY Times, the giant chip maker has found Vista too much of a gambit. Intel has reportedly decided not to upgrade its infrastructure, comprising in excess of 80,000 computers to Windows Vista. Back in 2007, the leader of the processor market was among the first companies to say that no large scale Vista upgrades would be introduced until the release of SP1. Now that Service Pack 1 is generally available, Intel will skip Vista altogether.

However, Intel did consider upgrading to the latest Windows client. The chip maker's information technology staff put the benefits and the cost of a Vista migration in the balance. The conclusion, which Intel claims is not a move against Microsoft, is that no compelling case was identified in order to spawn a Vista adoption process. The CPU developer has already deployed Vista across some areas of the organization, but indicated that a company-wide implementation is out of the question for now.

While this situation could evolve in the benefit of Microsoft and Windows Vista, Intel is sticking with Windows XP for the time being and looking to Windows 7 for its next large scale Windows upgrade. The Redmond company has failed to comment on Intel's decision, but it is indicating that Vista adoption is not as disastrous as it might seem.

According to the software giant, Vista sold "over 100 million licenses in the first year," a number which since then has grown to more than 150 million units. Microsoft also claims that, in the business environment, Vista was "adopted as fast as Windows XP, [with] millions of enterprise seats deployed, and growing. [The latest Windows client is in fact] on pace to deploy faster than Windows XP". Still, Microsoft now has to count Intel's 80,000 computers out of the millions of enterprise seats of Vista, an image problem more than anything else.

New Search Engine v.s Google

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:51:00 -0700

Google, Yahoo, and MSN need to take notice of a new search engine that has recently appeared on my radar screen. Scour.com is a great new social search engine that searches all the major engines and implements thumbs up and thumbs down rankings. The best part in all of this is that you get paid to use it. Thats correct, you get paid. Every time you place a search you earn points, once you hit certain levels they pay you cash money.

Personally I do a ton of searches in the course of a day so this is a great tool for me to use. I highly suggest you check it out and use it yourself. An extra $25 here and there never hurts right??

The Secret To Getting Listed In Google In Under 24 Hours - Guaranteed

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Tue, 3 Jun 2008 05:33:00 -0700

You may or may not have heard pepole claim they can get listed in Google in only 1 day. It seems that
nearly 100% of the people you run across in forums act like in order to get indexed by Google in 24
hours is some miracle feat that can only be accomplished by doing some "top secret" marketing tactic or
advanced optimization strategy,
Well, the truth of the matter is...
Getting listed in Google in under a day is quite easy!
First let's talk about what NOT to do. This drives me absolutely crazy when I see people doing this, and is
actually what I did at one time as well. The following URL probably looks familiar to you:
http://www.google.com/addurl.html

This is Google's actual website submission form. They state that you can use this form to submit your
website to their index of websites and it can take up to 6 weeks for your website to be placed into their index.
I don't know about you, but 4 weeks is a heck of a long time to just wait for your website to be placed in their
index rotation, let alone get a top ranking!
Never Use The Google Submission Form!
You should never use this form, or any other of the top search engine's submission forms. These search
engines include Yahoo, MSN, Altavista, Alltheweb.
So, how do you get your website indexed within 24 hours?
Let's stick with our weight loss website for now, and I will take you through the steps you'll need to do to get
indexed by Google in under 24 hours, guaranteed.
l Go to Google and enter the broadest keyword you can think of that's related to your website. In our
example, it will be "weight loss". Once you've done this, you'll see a list of Google results.
l Browse through each website and pay particluar attention to the Google Page Rank of the website.
Note: Google Page Rank is measured by the number of websites and the "importance" of those websites
that link to your website. In general, the more websites that link to your website, the higher your Page Rank
will be.
l So, as you're looking at these top ranked websites for the search term "weight loss", you should try
to find websites with a Page Rank of 6 or higher.
l Once you've found several websites like this, you should check and see whether or not they have
links pages. Usually you'll see links from their index page that say (resources, links, related sites,
etc.) Now, you need to search their website for their contact information.
l Once you find their contact information you should send them an email asking if they will link to your
website in return for you linking back to their website. If you do this correctly and professionally, they
will respond and will place a link on their website to yours.
If you can manage to get 1 PR6 website to link to your website, you will be indexed by Google in under 3
days. If you can get 1 PR7 website to link to you, then you will be in Google's index in under 24 hours!
Sometimes persuading the higher page rank websites is pretty tough, so there's another option you can
pursue and that is ...
Purchasing Text Links - But For Only 1 Month
Purchasing links from high Page Rank websites. The easiest and fastest way to do this is to visit 1 of the
many link purchasing websites. Here are a few of the better ones:
1. http://www.textlinkbrokers.com (I personally work with them and they are very good.)
2. http:///www.text-link-ads.com
3. http://www.linkadage.com
Many times you can purchase 1 PR7 link for a 1 month time period for, say, $150. After the month is up,
there is no need to renew because you are already in Google's index! So, basically by paying $150 you can
be indexed by Google within 24 hours, with no work on your part.
There is a catch. During this month period there is 1 thing you MUST do or spending $150 will be a
complete waste and you won't see any benefit from spending your money.

How changing 1 onpage optimization factor can boost your rankings by over 350 positions Session 2

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Tue, 3 Jun 2008 05:26:00 -0700

and the html code would look like this h-one "How changing 1 onpage optimization factor can boost your
rankings by over 350 positions!" h-one
Of course, I would have changed my lesson title to contain my main keyword if I was actually trying to
optimize this page for Google. Also, if possible, it's ideal if you can include ONLY your main keyword within
the h1 header tags. h-one Weight Loss Story h-one would be perfect.

Add h-two header tags
Next, we'll need to create an h-two header tag. This can be thought of as a sub heading for our webpage.
You should place your 2nd most important keyword in the h-two header tag. The h-two tag should be placed
somewhere towards the top half of your webpage.
A good h-two header tag for our example would be:
l h-two safe weight loss h-two (Usually it's best to place your primary keyword in your h-two tags and
your secondary keyword into the h-two tags.
After we've done this, we need to actually create the content for our webpage. When writing the content, try
to evenly sprinkle your main keywords throughout the copy. Don't overdo it though.
Try to mention each keyword in a natural way as you are writing, but be sure to include at least one of
the keywords per 1-2 paragraphs, depending on how large your page is.
Tip: Make sure to mention your main keyword at the very top left and the very bottom right hand side of the
webpage. A trick I like to use is to include this in the copyright information line at the bottom of the website.
For our example, this would be a good example:
© 2005 copyright www.domain.com a weight loss story
Notice that it flows and doesn't really look too strange.
Bolding, italicizing and underlining ...
Once we've finished writing the copy, we should go through and bold, underline, or italicize some of the
keywords only 1 time each, maximum. Only do 1 per keyword or it will hurt you more than it helps.
Properly include image tags ...
Next, click on the very top image of your webpage (This is usually your website's header graphic) and
include an image tag using the text "weight loss story header" if you're adding this alt text to your
website header graphic. Click on 2 more graphics throughout your webpage and enter your other 2
keywords, plus an extra word like "graphic" or "image"... For example, we would use "weight loss picture
graphic" and "safe weight loss image". This ensures that Google won't view this as spam.
Force Google To Read Your Keywords First!
Now, remember I stated above that Google views your webpage from top left, to bottom right? Well, in
general they do. But because most websites contain a left hand column which contains all of their
navigation links...
Google WILL View all of the text in the left hand column Before The Body of the webpage
How can you get around this? I've come up with a neat little trick that will ensure that Google reads the
actual body of your webpage before the left hand column containing your navigational links.
Here is what you need to do:
Rather than creating a table that looks like this:
| navigational links | You body text... |
You should create a table that looks like this:
| | |
|navigational links | You body text... |

By doing this, Google will read the top left hand row/column first... BUT will see that it is empty, so it will
then read the body of your webpage and then read the 2nd left hand row/column which contains
your navigational links! :-)
That's all there is to it!
In summary, I really want to point out the fact that, although good onpage optimization is something you'll
really want to do, it is NOT how you make dramatic changes in your search engine ranking!
This is one of the biggest misconceptions in the search engine world. Many believe that by getting your
keyword density just right, or by moving your keywords around on the page in just the right places, you'll
really move up in the search engines.
That is not the case at all. It is the offpage optimization factors that will get you high rankings. I will teach
you exactly what offpage optimization factors are, AND how to make sure you optimize these factors
perfectly for Google!

How Changing One Single Onpage Optimization Factor Can Boost Your Rankings By Over 350 Positions

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Tue, 3 Jun 2008 05:18:00 -0700

Ok, so now we've selected our main 3 keywords:
l weight loss story
l weight loss picture
l safe weight loss
Notice that all of the keywords contain the word "weight loss". This will make things easier for us when we
begin to optimize our offpage ranking factors which you'll learn about later.
Let's Optimize Our Webpage ...
The first thing we need to do is select a page Title for our website.
The page title should:
Include ONLY our main keywords. The least amount of words you can place in the title, the more weight
Google will give to each of the keywords and the higher you will rank.

When creating your page title, it should not look like this:
l Welcome to our website!
It should not even look like this, which does containg our main keywords, but contains an unnecessary
number of words:
l weight loss story and weight loss picture and safe weight loss
Although that title isn't horrible and does contain all of your main keywords, you should do a couple of things
to cut down on words used.
This would be a perfect title for your webpage:
l Weight Loss Story | Safe Weight Loss Picture
Notice that I've:
l Taken out all of the "ands"
l Replaced one of the "ands" with a "|" character
l Combined the keywords "Safe Weight Loss" with "Weight Loss Picture"
l Always Combine Your Keyword When Possible to cut down on the total number
of words that are in your title!
Always Combine Your Keywords In The Page Title!
When Google looks at our title it will see all 3 of our keywords only. Combining keywords to cut down on
the total number of keywords displayed in the title is a great way to boost the strength of each individual
keyword, which will have an immediate impact on your ranking.
Add hone header tags
Next we'll need to add 1 hone header tag and place our most important keyword there.
The hone header tag should be as far towards the top of the page as possible. When Google reads a
webpage, it views the text from the top left hand side of the page to the bottom right hand side of the page.
So, it's best to place your hone header tag on the top left hand or top/middle portion of your page. You can
think of an hone header tag as a title for whatever content you have on your page.

For example, the hone header tag of this lesson would be:
These could be possible keywords we should target to begin with. Once we have our list of 3 to 4 keywords,
we need to go to Google and check out the competition to see exactly how hard it will be to optimize for the
specified keyword.

Using Google AdWords to Increase your AdSense Profits

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 7 May 2008 17:13:00 -0700

I had been using Google's AdSense program to generate some revenue from my various web sites. Prior to AdSense, I was never previously paid to run these and did so for a hobby. Overall I was pleased with the income I was generating. The only drawback was that I was always looking for ways to get people to my sites. I enjoyed working to bring in more visitors but felt that if I looked at my earnings vs. the hours I worked, the economics weren't making sense.
Then I figured out that certain sites were paying way more than the minimum .05 cents per click. I reasoned that if I could get pay visitors .05 - .10 to visit. Then if they clicked enough ads that paid much more than I paid, then AdWords could be a viable way to increase traffic to my sites

So I paid my $5.00 setup fee and added my two most profitable sites. That same day my traffic jumped dramatically and as I thought. Visitors who came in via AdWords were more likely to click other Google ads on my site. My conversions went up and I thought why not put all my sites on AdWords.
This was where some careful research was needed. I found that some sites I run had AdWords sponsors who were only bidding the minimum. Remember the concept was to under bid the advertisers on my sites. While my traffic skyrocketed, my expenses for a few sites seemed to outweigh any benefit. When my reports came in it was clear that I needed to use AdWords for only the sites that featured high bidding advertisers. This creates margin for those visitors who come in via paid ads but do not click to my own sponsored ads.
The exception would be if my site was offering a product or service. Then it would be well worth sticking with AdWords on those sites just to get more buying traffic. Because my sites are purely informational I had to watch carefully to ensure I was putting money into AdWords where it was working for me. In some cases I upped my bid on some keywords that were clearly bringing in steady traffic that converted well.
Google's new offering called WebSense may change this a bit. By allowing you to put Google's search form on your site and then paying if your visitors search off your site and click other sponsored links it may make those under performing sites profitable again. Time and further research will tell.
The moral of the story is that AdWords is a great way to dramatically increase your profits when using AdSense. Care needs to be taken to see that you are putting your money where it is most effective.

6 Steps To Adsense Domination

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 7 May 2008 17:13:00 -0700

When you make your living online, you realize the need for multiple streams of income.
One of the easiest and most lucrative ways to generate a secondary income, which also happens to be passive, is via Google’s AdSense program.
I’m sure you’ve read the claims of a few individuals generating five figure monthly incomes from AdSense. For many of you, I’m sure you are wondering why you aren’t making this same income yourself.
Well, wonder no more. If you follow my simple six step system, you will be well on your way to healthy AdSense profits within three months.
Are you ready? It’s now time to pay attention.

Step 1 – Preparation.
The key to making money with AdSense is all about numbers. BIG numbers!
Sure, there are a few people making serious money with less than ten sites, but these are the exception.
Your goal will be twenty-four sites in three months. That’s just TWO sites per week!
In order to accomplish this, I recommend one of the many available page generation tools available today.
Step 2 – Determine Your Markets.
In order to maximize AdSense income with only twenty-four sites, you must know which markets are paying well.
To break this down even further, you need to know which keywords within those markets are paying the most.
Step 3 – Register you domains.
Once you’ve identified and chosen your markets, you must register domains appropriate to those markets. For example, if your market is ‘Cabbage Patch Dolls’, a domain such as http://www.cabbage-patch-doll.com/ would be appropriate.
Step 4 – Create your site.
Using your favorite page generation software and keyword list, it’s time to develop your site. There are several key points to bear in mind when you develop these specifically for AdSense.
1. Format – Always use the large 336x280 large rectangle.
2. Border – Match the same color as your background.
3. Background color - Border – Match the same color as your background.
4. Link = "0000CC"
5. Color_url = "999999"
6. Color_text = "333333"
7. Position – Far left or center and just above the page fold (Top 25% of site)
Step 5 – Verify and track your site
Visit your site and make sure all links work and that the sites appear to your satisfaction. You should also check out the ads Google is displaying. Are they targeted to your primary high paying keyword? If not, recreate your site using your high paying keyword in a higher density throughout your site.
Make sure you track your AdSense format, position, and traffic with a tracking system specifically designed for AdSense. Once you know your stats, you can adjust for maximum click throughs and higher revenues.
Step 6 – Get your site listed in the search engines.
This is simple… no tricks involved. Simply rent links to your site. A PR7 or PR8 link will do the job.
While I’ve simplified the process here, you are now armed with enough information and resources to make some serious money with AdSense.

Google WebSearch™ & Google AdSense. Yahoo!!!

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 7 May 2008 17:12:00 -0700

The makers of the world renowned search engine, Google, have taken things a step further to increase their user loyalty, grow their user base and at the same time reward websites for helping them promote their search engine. What a beautiful deal.
Google now offers WebSearch™ allowing AdSense members to take the earning potential of their sites to an even higher level. Is it all about the money? For most I bet the answer will be “YES”, however, those who would say no can say so with confidence.
Google delivers the best search results on the web today. Don’t be surprised if the majority of your website users use it to search the web. They pride themselves on highly relevant search results with a clean and effective interface. They offer various filters to fine tune their results to allowing you to eliminate any unwanted sites from being displayed.

They have started a highly successful symbiotic relationship between Google and websites that many webmasters will be taking advantage of as soon as they hear the news. It is said time and time again how Google AdSense has transformed websites not geared towards earning income, into solid income producing businesses. Now with WebSearch™ it gets even better.
So what exactly is WebSearch™?
It’s using Google’s SiteSearch or Google’s WebSearch and displaying AdSense ads in the results and you earn income every time someone clicks on the ads. Lots of sites already use these features together or independently and them being able to monetize this is a sure plus. You are also able to customize your results page to some extent which includes full color customization as well as the ability to include your logo.
So how do I get it?
Well if you haven’t already done so you will need to create and AdSense account at Google AdSense and follow the steps.
If you already have an AdSense account then log in and click on Search Settings and you should be able to figure it out from there. They also offer reporting information which can also be filtered by channel and includes clicks, the number of queries and click through rate.
The verdict
If you answer yes to any of the following questions then there’s a good chance that Google’s WebSearch is for you:
1. Do you want to give your users a reason to stay on your site longer?
2. Have you ever wanted to offer web search from your site?
3. Do you want to be able to offer a site search feature to your users?
And last but not least
4. Do you want to increase the earning potential of your website? More popularly stated as… Do you want to make more money?
I’m not a betting man but I’d put my money on you answering yes to at least one of these.
Happy Google WebSearch™ing :-)

Making Google Adsense Work For You

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 7 May 2008 17:11:00 -0700

If you have been online for quiet 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. This is what its all about, since people come to your website with a specific interest Google will display ads reflecting that topic.
That means that any ad that is displayed fits the interest of the person viewing it. Since Google pays you for each click through this can be very lucrative if done right. Here are just a couple of examples on how you can get the most from AdSense.

Focusing on one specific topic helps increase your click through because the ads Google displays will be extremely targeted to the topic the person is already viewing.
For example you could make a website purely on growing flowers. People who visit your website are already interested in gardening and Google will likewise display ads on that topic.
A great tool to check which keywords might be shown by Google on your website is http://www.about-adsense.com/adsense-web-tool.html
The more targeted Google's ads are the more click through you will get and the more you will earn.
Search for the keywords that have the highest bids and optimize your website to them.
When you setup an account at http://www.adwords.com you can use Google’s keyword tool to view which keywords pull the most visitors and how much the advertisers are paying for each click. Some keywords are as much as $100 a click, think of what you earn when you optimize your website to them.
Next you optimize your sites content to these keywords, you can do this by either creating content yourself or by using other peoples content like for example articles from third parties which you can find at for example http://www.ezinearticles.com.
Remember its all about targeted content, the more targeted your content is the more target Google's ads will be and the more clicks you will generate.
Have fun!

Getting Approved by AdSense in a Jiffy…

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 7 May 2008 17:11:00 -0700

I don’t understand why everyone makes AdSense out to sound like some kind of devil. So far, I have a 100% approval rate for my consulting clients. You would think that we spend months developing the site to submit for approval – but to be honest; I spend less than a day (if that!)
What we found is that Google is not nearly as picky as they make themselves sound to be. The trick is to make your site in such a way that you are just providing content; we have found that the less selling you do on your approval site, the better.
Don’t worry, once you’re approved you can use that code wherever you want – so put it on other sites that sell later. But for the purposes of getting approved, try to limit to just content, content and more content!

Now, for the disclaimer before we start talking about how to get your site approved for Google AdSense. I am not a member of Google at all, everything I am about to say is all speculation and experience. I have helped over 50 clients get approved for Google AdSense without having even 1 of them not get approved – we have 100% approval rate on FIRST try.
All I am going to teach you is exactly what I do for them.
There are three main elements that I focus on when getting a client approved:
1. Site look and feel – Not that Google wants a $10,000 professionally designed website, but they also don’t want some piece of junk. Make sure to at LEAST have a presentable website – even if it is just a few tables and a solid background color. Avoid using tacky backgrounds or unprofessional color contrasts.
2. Content – The most important – Google believes in content. If you try to get a website with just a few pages approved, I don’t think you will have any luck. You need to have at least 15-20 pages, preferably, 15-20 pages of articles/resources, a.k.a. content.
3. Traffic – Many “experts” say that Google looks to see what kind of traffic you have and that they do not approve new sites with no traffic. My experience says that these experts are FULL of it. BUT, just to be safe, before you submit your site for approval – try to get your site some traffic.
Here are useful tips you need to make the entire approval process easier and quicker:
• Get content from article directories like www.goarticles.com – just put those articles in your site, getting 15-20 is easy.
• Before you submit your site for approval, post at some forums with your website’s link in the signature file – this will help you get some immediate traffic.
• Make a very simple website with 15-20 articles, a contact us page, a privacy policy and the typical disclaimer.
That’s it – you’re ready to get approved for Google AdSense. I know I made it sound too easy, but honestly, we have a track record that proves it. And remember, if you do not get approved, you can always fix things and try again.
So, stop waiting – apply now – Google AdSense is a great source of income.

Google AdWords and AdSense - A Dynamic Small Business Marketing Duo

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 7 May 2008 17:09:00 -0700

Unless you have been living under a rock for the last year or so, you probably know that Google has become the king of the search engine hill. There are many reasons for this but number one in my opinion is that above all else they put value on content. Today I want to introduce you to two very powerful small business advertising options created by Google.
These two ingenious programs have all but revolutionized the way advertising is done on the web. Warning: If you are thinking..."web advertising isn't for me, I just need a few more clients around the block"...you better read this or be prepared to have your competitors eat your lunch.
Google AdSense - Again content is king at Google. This program allows web site "publishers" to add some code from Google and receive "content relevant" ads on their site from other site owners. Here is an example - those ads in the box on the right of the page are delivered by Google and are matched to the content on the page. When someone surfs to the page and decides to check out one of those ads, the web site owner earns a portion of the advertising revenue that Google collects.

The key here is that if you go to a site about quilting, you will see ads about quilting and not about dog grooming. I know this sounds so obvious but Google was the first to really figure this out.
This program has worked so well that some website owners are actually building content specific sites and paying for them solely through AdSense revenue. Small business owners should consider adding this feature to pages on their site for several reasons.
I've already mentioned the fact that there is money to be made, but what many site owners are finding is that because Google is so respected and because the ads are highly targeted...they are no longer looked at by surfers as ads, they are looked at as content.
Some will even go as far as to say that by putting the Google ads on your site you actually better your chances of higher rankings with Google. Google flatly denies this claim and I don't think it is true but I do know that Google AdSense ads should be on every small business owner's site. (Google AdSense)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Another Warning: This is somewhat complex stuff. This article is only meant to introduce you to the power of these programs. Check out Google Cash by Chris Carpenter for a deeper understanding of ways to make this work for you.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Google AdWords - I've already talked about those ads you see on websites, well those ads need to come from somewhere don't they. AdWords is Google's program for advertisers.
Any site that wishes to participate bids for "keywords" that are relevant to their product, service, or site and then creates ads to attract hits. These ads show up on private websites, like this example, and on the right side of Google search results like this search for "Free sales letters and tools" As you can see from this Google search you received the content related sites that you searched for but you also get some related ads that are sponsored.
Now here is where Google is genius. Instead of simply subjecting surfers to any ads that anyone is willing to pay for, they actually police the ads that are running. On some pay per click programs, whoever is willing to pay to most wins. Google uses a performance model. In other words an ad that is the most relevant and therefore receives the most clicks will move ahead of an ad that may pay more but isn't as effective. This simple philosophy is why Google has quickly dominated the PPC world.
Okay...and now the really big innovation
Regional targeting. Google recently introduced a system that allows advertisers to target certain metropolitan markets only. In other words, a remodeling contractor who only wants to do kitchen remodels in say, Denver, can bid on the keyword phrase "kitchen remodel" and only have his ads show up for people who live in and around Denver.
The implication this has for local small business owners is staggering. In the example above, our Remodeler can now tap into highly targeted web traffic for pennies per lead. In my opinion, small business owner who learn the ins and outs of this medium will dominate their markets. (Google AdWords)
Look for more on this topic in the future.

Understanding Google AdSense

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 7 May 2008 17:09:00 -0700

Google AdSense allows webmasters to dynamically serve content relevant advertisements on web pages. If the visitor clicks one of the AdSense ads served to the website, the website owner is credited for the referral. Google's AdSense program essentially allows approved websites to dynamically serve Google's pay-per-click AdWord results.
Website maintenance related to AdSense is very easy and requires very little effort. Webmasters need only to insert a Google generated java script into the web page or website template. Google's spider parses the AdServing website and serves ads that relate to the website's content. Google uses a combination of keyword matching and context analysis to determine what ads should be served. The java script calls the ad from Google and will ensure that ads are served each time a visitor goes to the web page.

Early on Google implemented a filtering system that allowed webmasters to prevent a specific domain's ads from being served on any websites in their account. Ad blocking meant that webmasters could prevent their competitor's ads from being dynamically served on their websites.
Google provides a wide variety of ad formats to match the most suitable option with a website. Webmasters can select from a handful of preformatted towers, inline rectangles, banners and buttons. The ad boxes can be modified by webmasters to resemble the website's color scheme. Examples of how different the various text boxes and color schemes appear on similarly themed sites can be viewed at:
• http://www.ring-tone-software.com (scroll to the bottom)
• http://www.ringtones-central.com (scroll to the bottom)
or
• http://www.police-central.com (download left side)
• http://www.police-supplies.com (scroll to the bottom)
Ads can be geo-targeted based on the visitor's location. Advertisements containing content in English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Japanese, or Spanish are all available.
Channels
Google recently introduced channels, enhancing AdSense reporting. When a channel is selected Google modifies the java script to include additional tracking. The additional tracking information allows webmasters to track a variety of metrics across their sites. Channels can be used to measure performance on various domains, differences in revenue with various ad sizes, or placement. By assigning each group of pages to a specific channel and comparing results in custom channel reports webmasters can work at increasing their AdSense revenue.
Optimizing
Google determines the content of the ads that are shown, webmasters serious about earning revenue from Google AdSense can use the following guidelines to optimize their website and ensure that targeted and relevant ads are served. If Google's spider has not crawled the site and determined the nature of the content, public service ads may be served. Public service ads will not accrue any AdSense revenue if clicked. As a result Google allows webmasters to designate alternate ads. Alternate ads allow webmasters to utilize the ad space in the event that Google is unable to serve targeted ads to the web page. By specifying an alternate image, HTML page, or ad server the advertising space can always being used effectively.
1. Web page content on pages that ads are served should be static not dynamic.
2. Ensure that the robot.txt does not prevent the web page from being spidered. Robots.txt file's will need to be removed or the following text will need to bedded to allow Google's content bot to crawl the site: User-agent: Media partners - Google
3. If the website contains frames, select the ‘framed page’ checkbox when generating the ad layout code for that website.
4. The body of the page and title of the page should contain contextual words that indicate a common theme on the web page.
Revenue Earned
Although Google doesn't disclose the exact revenue share or percentage that webmasters will earn, webmasters will receive a portion of the amount paid for clicks on Google ads on websites.
AdSense Conclusion:
Overall, Google AdWords can provide great supplemental income to webmasters with content sites. Implementing and maintaining Google AdSense program on a content site requires very little effort and can often bring a steady stream of additional revenue for webmasters.

The AdSense Factor

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Wed, 7 May 2008 17:07:00 -0700

Google describes AdSense as “a fast and easy way for web site publishers of all sizes to display relevant Google ads on their web site’s content pages and earn money.” The AdSense ads displayed by Google on your site are matched to Google’s interpretation of the content theme of your site. In this manner, the AdSense ads will be of interest to your site visitors looking for the unique content your site offers to them.
AdSense is a system where Google places its AdWords ads on the content pages of non-Google web sites. It is a pay-per-click (PPC) service where webmasters are paid a portion of the revenue collected by Google from the advertisers. The advertiser pays Google a pre-determined amount each time a web site visitor clicks on an AdSense advertisement.

AdWords is the Source of AdSense Income
AdWords ads are the source of all the AdSense income you are able to generate. As a result, you need to fully understand the AdWords system in order to appreciate how the AdSense system works.
Google describes AdWords as “a quick and simple way to purchase highly targeted cost-per-click (CPC) advertising, regardless of your budget.” These paid ads (sponsored links) are displayed by Google on the search engine results page along with the non-paid (natural results) for a given keyword search.
In order to create a Google AdWords ad, it is necessary to specify what keyword or keyword phrase must be input by the visitor before your AdWords ad will be displayed. In addition, you need to set the maximum amount that you will pay to Google for each click on your AdWord.
There is a nominal activation fee but Google does not have a minimum monthly charge. Google provides an account Control Center that allows you to track the performance of your ad. The ad will be displayed within minutes to the searchers after your account billing information has been submitted to Google.
AdWords ads must adhere to specific Google requirements. The title can contain up to 25 characters, the ad text can have up to 70 characters and the display URL must be less than 36 characters.
AdWords Ranking
Google will rank an AdWords ad based on the maximum CPC, the click through rate (CTR) and the relevancy of the ad text. Google prefers relevant and well-targeted AdWords ads. Google determines ad placement using the value formula: CPC x CTR. The ad is placed higher as the valuation rises. It’s possible for an advertiser to have a high rank position with a low CPC if the CTR makes the value to Google higher than other ads with a higher CPC.
Google requires a minimum CTR in order to protect the AdWords program value for its users. The CTR of all AdWords ads are monitored by Google on a continuous basis. An under-performing AdWords ad may be disabled by Google if the CTR does not improve.
AdSense Program
You need to apply and be accepted by Google before you can display the AdSense ads on your web site. They are very particular about the sites that are eligible and accepted. Google’s name is on the ads and they cannot risk hurting the perceived value of the AdSense and AdWords programs.
Google requires you to comply with their program policies if your website is accepted into the AdSense program. Otherwise, your website may be dropped from the program.
Your site must be content-focused to be accepted. Google wants sites that offer high quality information or rich in relevant content. You should have lots of interesting and informative content for your site visitors.
As previously mentioned, AdSense is a program in which you get paid for your web site visitors clicking on targeted AdWords ads placed on your site. A click through is when a visitor clicks on one of the ads. The ads are placed in a display box that you put on your website in a location that earns you money.
You have a chance to make a significant amount of money if the AdSense box is placed in a strategic location on your site and you have sufficient targeted traffic.
The AdWords advertiser pays as little as $0.05 per click up to $100 per click depending on the unique keywords. The AdWords campaigns are usually budgeted for a specific period of time by the advertisers.
Contextual Advertising
Google uses proprietary algorithms to determine the content on each page of your web site with an AdSense box. It will identify the AdWords ads that are contextually relevant to your website visitors based on the content of your site. The identified AdWords ads are then displayed in your AdSense box. The ads on your site are the same ads that appear on the right side of a Google search results page for a specific keyword.
Contextual advertising is the process of displaying ads on a web site that are targeted to the individuals visiting the specific web site. The Google contextual advertising system scans the content text on your web site for keywords on each web page with the AdSense box. Google will display ads on each web page based on what it believes is the keyword theme for that specific page.

For example, if Google determines that the theme of a specific web site is about “fishing” then fishing-related AdWords ads will be displayed in the AdSense box. The ads about fishing are an approximate fit to the context or subject of the web page as determined by Google.
Monetize Your Content Rich Website
Every webmaster with high-quality and focused web page content can monetize their knowledge and expertise by using AdSense. You need interesting and informative content on your site in order to bring free and targeted traffic to your web site and capitalize on the AdSense model.
You can generate revenue on your AdSense website on a consistent basis if your web site has a focused theme with targeted traffic. It’s a good idea to have multiple pages with rich content on various topics that are centered around the specific theme of your website. Google can then target relevant ads to display on each web page that contains the AdSense box.
Google performs all the technological work for you to use the AdSense program. After your web site is accepted into the AdSense program, you obtain the HTML code to insert into your web pages from Google. The code will incorporate whatever specific customization you choose for the AdSense box.
It does not take very long before relevant ads appear on your web pages. If the ads are not relevant then you need to modify your content and keywords to help Google isolate the theme of your site. This will involve trial and error.
AdSense Factor
The items needed (I call it the AdSense Factor) to make substantial money using the AdSense program include:
• A website with multiple web pages with a central content theme that draws significant targeted traffic.
• Ads with high click values that are relevant to the theme on each web page.
• A high click through rate by your website visitors.
Website Central Theme
Your website should be based on a specific theme. This is where brainstorming comes into play. You need to spend ample time determining what the theme of your site should be. Generate a list of all your skills, capabilities and areas of interest as you would in developing a niche market.
Select one or more of the niches and identify a keyword phrase to be the central theme of your web site. Identify the “wants and needs” of individuals in that niche that desire information to be satisfied or produce a solution to a problem. In your brainstorming session, identify all the keywords you can that relate to the central theme.
As an example, assume your central keyword theme is “fishing.” Potential supporting keywords could include (depending on the direction you take): fishing rods, lures, tackle, bait, gear, reels, boats and a long list of related items. You then need to develop a separate web page for every keyword item that you use to support the central theme.
Keyword Page Content
Each keyword page needs to have quality content that would be of interest and informative to your prospective visitors looking for information. You can develop the content yourself, use existing free information or pay someone to develop the content for you.
As a starter, you should attempt to generate the content yourself. Research each topic keyword and write articles of 200 to 600 words. The articles should be informative and rich in keywords for each web page with an AdSense box. Remember that “more” is better. The more content-related pages you have then the more AdSense ads you will be able to display and hopefully the more money you will make.
If you believe that you absolutely cannot write articles for whatever reason then look for existing free articles on your web page topic(s). You can also hire a freelance or ghostwriter at very reasonable rates to write articles for you. The choice is yours on how you proceed to get content for your web pages.
When you write your own articles, try to write your articles as if you were talking to someone. Plan on inserting the keyword or keyword phrase in as many places that make sense. The keyword density should be in the 5 to 10% range. This means that the keyword should be included about once every 10 to 20 words in the article. In order to help Google determine the theme for each of your web pages with the AdSense box: use headings and subheadings, use

through

tags where appropriate to add attention and make all keywords bold text in your articles.
Conclusion
You need to consider implementing AdSense on your site if you want to make money from advertising. Google has made it relatively easy and clear to monetize your website through the use of AdSense. The steps involved in the process are:
• First – develop a central keyword theme for your website that contains informative and quality information desired by your targeted visitors.
• Second – develop multiple content rich web pages with individual keyword themes that are focused around your central keyword theme.
• Third - apply and get accepted into the Google AdSense program.
• Fourth - install the AdSense ads box on each content web page with a defined keyword theme.
• Fifth - drive targeted traffic to your website where a percentage of your visitors looking for your informative and quality information will click on the AdSense ads.
• Sixth - collect and enjoy the money paid to you by Google for the clicks on each ad you presented to your visitors.
Keep the “AdSense Factor” in mind when developing your web pages and your visitors will have a high interest in your content. This will lead to your visitors clicking on the AdSense ads and putting money into your pocket.

Blog for Traffic and AdSense Revenue

edjula@gmail.com (Edi Johan Syah Djula) — Mon, 3 Mar 2008 20:18:00 -0800

You’ve probably heard that there is a great deal of money to be made by using blogs – whether you are into affiliate marketing, or an AdSense publisher. You can use a blog in several different ways.
First, you can use just the blog, as opposed to having a separate static website. You can also use a blog to drive traffic to a static website. Either way works, but in the long run, it’s easier to have a blog, with your own domain, hosted on a web server, than it is to operate both a blog and a website.

Promoting a blog is much easier and faster than promoting a website, because blogs are so interactive. For instance, people can come to your blog, subscribe to it, leave comments on it, and go to their own blogs and write about something that you wrote about, quote you and leave a trackback. This works the opposite way as well.

To promote a blog, there are very specific things you do:
1. You ping your blog after each post. You can do this at a site such as www.pingomatic.com, which will send the ping to multiple blog directories at one time.
2. You use social bookmarks each time you make a post, tagging the post with your keywords. You can quickly and easily send out multiple bookmarks at one time by using a free service such as www.onlywire.com
3. You burn your feed at a free site such as www.feedster.com. This lists your feed in their directory, so that people may subscribe before they’ve ever even visited your blog.
4. You visit relevant blogs that belong to others, and leave relevant comments (not comment spam) with a link back to your own blog.
5. You quote other people’s blogs – just portions, not the entire post – and link to it using your trackback feature. Your link to that post will automatically appear on their trackback list for that post, if they have enabled trackbacks.
6. You use the same promotional techniques that you use for a static website, along with the five techniques listed above.

If you can, make a blog post each day. Otherwise, you should be making a blog post each and every week, once a week. If you’re blog isn’t updated, you can’t really promote it very well.
If you want to use the other method, where you have a blog and a website, you can do this as well. The idea here is to use the same promotional techniques for the blog, and then in each blog post, point to your website.

As you can see, if you are an AdSense publisher, this may be a bit redundant, since you can publish the same information on your blog, and it gets promoted in much the same way – and you can put AdSense on your blog just as you can on static webpages.

Generally, if someone has both a blog and a website, it is because they are promoting several products, or their own product. Again, as an AdSense publisher, with no other source of revenue, it makes sense to just have a blog, instead of a static website as well.

If you are going to be using just the blog, instead of static pages, you will need your own domain name, and your own server, just as you would for a website. Otherwise, you won’t be able to run AdSense ads. At www.blogger.com, you can run AdSense ads, but you have to split what is earned through those ads with Blogger, and it is all set up through their system.
