Make Money With Click Bank

Before talking about Click Bank a brief explanation for anyone who is completely new to the world of Internet

Marketing

The most common - and simplest -way to make money on the Net is to become an 'affiliate' which means you get paid commission for making sales of other people's products. You leave the whole task of product creation, web sales copy, order processing and customer support, to the vendor: your job is simply to get the word out about the product.

You are given an affiliate link which leads the customer to the sales site and identifies you as the person who gets credit if a sale is made. One of the most popular affiliate programs is ClickBank. They are in fact the world's largest provider of digital products - essentially e-books and software. You can choose from over 30,000 products in many categories and their affiliate program is simple to join. As a guide the average price of a ClickBank product is $41. The average commission rate is 55%, although the top sellers often offer a much higher rate e.g 70% or 75% (the maximum). We can say that success with ClickBankboils down to selecting a suitable product and promoting (getting the word out) about the product.

How to succeed with ClickBank, Valueable Tips

If you are not a ClickBank affiliate sign up now, it's free. You will need to choose an id or 'nickname' and this will appear in your affiliate links so that you will gain

credit for your sales. You can search for a product at theClickBank Marketplace where several thousand vendors display their products in an organized directory.

Is the product worth promoting ?

Look at the product price and commission rates

You should aim for products with a reasonable rate of commission, say 50%, to make your efforts worthwhile.

Be aware that ClickBank deducts transaction fees from a sale: here is a calculator

Is it an in-demand item ?

The Marketplace listings are ranked by popularity, so you can see which are the in-demand items. Popularity

is determined by a number of factors, the main being the amount of sales and the number of affiliates making

sales over the last 8 weeks. Note therefore that a product at the low end may still turn out to be popular

especially if it is new.

How effective is the sales page ?

Visit the sales page of the product to confirm that the sales copy does a good job of selling the product.

Check out the affiliate support

The vendor should provide you with much more than just a link to join the affiliate program. Check for any

useful promotional material (e.g. sample ads, articles, solo mailings, endorsement/reviews, signatures).

Ideally there will be an affiliate mailing list so that the vendor can convey useful news. You want someone

reliable who won't disband a program or make rule changes without telling you.

Tip: Check how responsive the vendor is with a simple enquiry.

Warning - look for sales page "leaks"

As an affiliate you want the visitor to read through the sales page and hit that order button with you getting

credit for the sale. There are a number of reasons why this does not happen.

1. There is an overt link to an affiliate sign up page. Your potential customer could simply become an affiliate

and purchase the product himself.

2. The vendor offers multiple payment options so if ClickBank is not chosen you do not get the commission.

3. Your product is just one of many unrelated products on a page - a put-off for the potential customer. (The

reason for this usually is that all the products belong to one ClickBank account which is restricted to only one

affiliate landing page ).

4. There are many external links which distract the visitor from reaching the order page.

5. The vendor captures your commission. There are offers to join a mailing list or claim a free report: you

should get credited for any sale ensuing from these leads but an unscrupulous vendor may follow up and

make the sale via his own link. Similarly the vendor may use a pop up upon exiting a site to convert a leaving

visitor into a sale for which you do not get the credit.

Promoting the product

Sign up for the affiliate program. Once you are happy that the affiliate program is worth promoting and does not suffer from potential 'leaks' you can collect your affiliate link, known as a hoplink. It has the formathttp://xxxxxxxx.vendor-id.hop.clickbank.net where you substitute xxxxxxxx with your nickname. You should check the validity by clicking on it and following through to the ClickBank order page where you should see[affiliate=yournickname] at the bottom. If not then you may have incorrectly formatted your hoplink or it's possible that the affiliate program has been discontinued.

Link cloaking

The basic hoplink is not 'protected'. A customer can simply substitute his own nickname and get commission

for the purchase. There are techniques and tools which can encrypt (or cloak) your hoplink to prevent link theft.

Getting traffic

You now want to get targeted visitors clicking on your hoplink and making a purchase. A good affiliate program may provide useful promotional material. The whole topic of getting traffic and advertising is beyond the scope of this guide

Tip: If you own and use the product it's highly recommended that you provide a review showing exactly how

The problem - why most ClickBank affiliates fail

So you've made your first sale. Happy ? Motivated ? Of course. Now for the bad news. Getting a sale does not mean you get paid. The first reason (easily solved) is that you need to meet a payment threshold before you get paid. By default ClickBank sets this at $100. So what you can do is lower it if you wish, you can go as low as $10 but be

aware that $2.50 is deducted for each check payment to you. Note also that payment is only sent at pay period end time which is every 2 weeks. You need to have

received 3 pay checks before you can opt for direct deposit and receive payment every week.

But it's the second reason that is the BIG one.

In my experience it's one of the most common complaints at my forum and others. Before getting paid you need to need to meet the Customer Distribution Requirement.

You can read the full detail in ClickBank's Accounting Policybut here is the essential bit In compliance with US law, ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until the following criteria is met:

* Sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers and * Sales made with two different payment methods (either Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal). Note: PayPal

purchases do not count toward the minimum 5 different credit card numbers.What this means is - at the very best - you are going to NEED FIVE SALES BEFORE YOU GET PAID.

Feeling frustrated ?

Well it get's worse. Let me tell you about 'dormant' accounts. Accounts with a positive balance but no earnings for an extended period of time are considered dormant.

Dormant accounts are subject to a charge of $1 per pay period after 90 days of inactivity, $5 per pay period

after 180 days of inactivity, and $15 per pay period after 365 days of inactivity.So you could hit lucky on your first day as an affiliate, earn a big commission ( the maximum possible is $100) then wait and wait for at least 4 more sales before you can get hold of your earnings. Meanwhile after 3 months of no sales deductions begin chipping away at your account. Are you then surprised why newbies struggling to make sales become disillusioned and start to quit ? Over 90% of ClickBank affiliates are INACTIVE.

But here's how we are going to solve this problem.

The solution!

Obviously if you could make some quick easy sales of something, anything - which need not even be your

selected product niche - then you will be able to meet the Customer Distribution Requirement, become

eligible to receive your first check and soon get the 3 checks allowing you to move to direct debit - which then

means weekly payment and no more waiting for the postman to deliver your check.

So our problem would be solved if you could offer customers an affiliate product which is so highly desirable

and attractive that it will be a no-brainer for them to purchase.

Well there is such a product.

- It's a product aimed at ClickBank newbies

- It solves their biggest problem

- It's incredibly cheap

- It's a package which costs just 3 (THREE) dollars ! That is the minimum sale price for a ClickBank product.

Let me show you something

Go to the order form and look at the bottom of the page.

You should see [affiliate=xxxxxxxx]

where xxxxxxxx represents an affiliate id.

This means that when you do purchase then the affiliate whose link you followed to download this book is

going to receive commission on this sale.

His commission is trivial, it's 51% of $3 which works out after deductions at $0.90 but that's not the point. He

has just made another easy ClickBank sale which is rapidly enabling him to meet the Customer Distribution

Requirement, maybe allowing the release of funds from other sales waiting in his ClickBank account, and

providing the springboard to a successful ClickBank career.

So how would you like to do the same ?

How would you like an affiliate link which inserts your ClickBank id in this book (a process known as

rebranding) and gets you quick and easy commissions.

Well that is just part of the package I am offering.

When you purchase it for $3 you will receive a 'Rebrander' link that will makes this happen. All you do is give

out that link. (The good news: you WON'T have to copy, rebrand and upload the book to a website as other

rebranders require you to).

Now - how to promote it ? (you must be asking).

Well I did say earlier that a good affiliate program should provide useful promotional material.

And that's why I am including in the package as part of your $3 purchase a special Promotion Guide.

It's a huge resource of tips, advice and ideas for promoting this book.

What's more, you are welcome to use and adapt the information for any other of your affiliate programs.

So tell me.

Do you think someone who clicks on your rebrander link, such as a newbie ClickBank affiliate or a beginner

wanting to know how to make money online, will resist turning this down ?

Especially when they are being besieged non-stop by hyped up promises of earning quick fortunes on the

Net if they purchase say a $499 course.

Somehow I think not.

And that means another commission payment for you.

Increased daily adsense revenue

noreply@blogger.com (CRD) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 06:26:01 PDT

I mentioned previously that I gave adsense a chance once again. I already have a lot of places to play around with adsense at. I did realize however that Adsense can be an effective way to make extra money at home. I started with around $5 a day at 3arn.Net which increased to $12 maximum.

The Great Jump Of Adsense

I was still playing around with adsense on my sites and I was testing out new and better things. My initial experiment started with 3arn.Net after I moved onto further sites. I knew 3arn.net wasn’t the perfect fit for adsense so I couldn’t expect it to make much, adsense on 3arn.Net is just an extra waistband on my wrist. But I knew that it wasn’t really hard to increase adsense revenue.

However, there are different types of blogs and websites that make more money with adsense. Namely, those which get most traffic from search engines. My results from those were much better in terms of making money with adsense.

My optimization sucked at first and I was hardly making enough money from Google Adsense on other blogs. By enough money, I mean over $50 (It’s best to clarify!) . Some websites were even pulling measly cents, which was very annoying! If you think out of the box, you might realize that you can create a steady income when the cents start to add up. After all, it is a 100 cents that make a dollar.

I just had to optimize more if I wanted to make some good money. But I’d say it was too early to make strong decisions, so during my usual play around with adsense. I tried switching the positioning and tried blending in the ads and my results were way above awesome!

The Revenue Climax

I’m a big fan of spiky graphs and I got excited to find a nice big spike in my google analytics account showing google adsense stats. A 53.66% revenue increase! Since then, my websites have been making as much.

What Caused The Increase In Google Revenue?

I could have put it the other way round, but below are a handful of things that helped me increase my Google revenue:

Better Positioning of the Adsense unit.
Blending the ad color of Adsense with the rest of the page.
Removing Adsense from more than 90% of the pages on my websites and removing it absolutely from 4 of websites!
Making sure that the right ads were being displayed.
Making the ad prominent towards the user with the help of a few things.
Getting it the right traffic.
Knowing about the right time to display adsense ads.
Filtering low-paying ads.
Tracking channels to find out the best performing ads.
Trying to put Adsense more sensibly within the page.
Using a demo for testing the usefulness of the adsense ads.
Trying to completely avoid the useless traffic.

These are some of those things that I implemented before I saw a spike. I was already making the previous amount, but the new added income is how I made easy money. I had to do next to nothing to experience a big boost in my adsense revenue.

You must be thinking that it is a whole lot of things but I took out a Sunday to do it all at once and then see the results. There was not much to figure out, however I found out that all the websites that implement blogging have a little better results with adsense.

But I’m Confused, Could You Be A Little More Practical?

Sure, I know that I can be a little hard to understand at times. I’ll be writing a follow-up to this with explanations with each one of the things that I mentioned here. You might want to subscribe to the feed if you do not want to miss it out.

I already have a lot of things in mind however if you write something exceptional in the comments and I like your idea then I might give you credit in the next article. So get those useful tips coming. However, please note that you will not get credit if I already had that in my list.

55 Surefire ways to make more money with adsense

noreply@blogger.com (CRD) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 06:03:17 PDT

I recently talked about how you could increase your adsense revenue and also said that I’d be writing this article. It is a compilation of all the useful tips to make more money with google adsense.

It’s not rocket science and no matter how much you know, I’m sure you’ll learn a few new tricks below to improve the way you make money with adsense.

Please note that these tips are working and up-to-date. Also note that these tips are not ordered in any form and are only categorized. So let’s get this started:

The Ad’s Appearance

Blend the color of your ad with the page background: This is the most obvious tip repeated around the internet for ages. Basically, you just need to keep the border color and the background color the same as the color of the background where the ad lies. There might be a problem if your website has a page background gradient, in that case you should try putting it in a bordered container. I’ve written a post earlier about blending ads.
Match the color scheme of the ad with the color scheme of the web page: If your blog/website has boxes with white background and gray border then create an ad with the same color scheme to show that the ad is a part of the page and make it blend in with the template.
Use a background image to make the ad more prominent: This works best on blogs with lots of graphics. In a web page like this, putting an ad with blending colors will not do the trick. Be a little creative and put the ad on an image. For example, if you have a website about growing apples then you might want to pick an image of a red apple and then put an ad with red background and border and fit it in perfectly. This background image will help get some attention and more clicks.
Set the font according to your page: Along with other updates adsense has put in, it has also allowed us to change the default font to the one matching in your page. So check your page font and then change the ad with that accordingly. This also helps your ad look more as a part of the page.
Set the font size according to the rest of the text on the page: Same goes with the font size. If you have bigger font on the page then the click through ratio for the ad will be very low because it would look very awkward, so be sure to set that accordingly.
Increase the font size of the ad to make it a little more prominent: I tried this out and it really worked well. Basically, you just need to keep the font size for the ad a little bigger than the rest of the font on your page. Just like H1 and H2 headings get more attention on a page. The same will be for the ads, as the first step is to get the attention of the visitor. Just don’t set it to large.
Give the ad title the same color as other headings/links on the page: When a visitor comes to your page, he recognizes the color of headings and links on the page. There are many people who might not just recognize the links in the ad at first so you should always keep the link of the title in the ad settings to be the same as other links on the page. Although some people recommend to keep it as the default ‘blue’ links, I would only recommend that if your design is extremely simple.
Try not to use the rounded corners, the square corners draw more clicks and attention: After playing around on my websites, I found that rounded cornered ads get less clicks compared to square corners. So stick to squared corners unless it really messes up with your design, no need to get into this if you’re keeping the border to be the same as the background.
Try to keep the ad background as light as possible, the border and the title darker than that: Light backgrounds are always an assistance to readers. Especially if you have a website with a very dark background then there is no need to blend the ad. You should use a lighter shade of the same color and watch the clicks go crazy.
Don’t use Adsense’s default palettes: This is obvious because Google Adsense has been around for around 6 years now and most websites use the default palette of adsense. This has triggered an ad filter in the minds of people with that palette. So no matter what, try not to use the default palette.

The Ad’s Positioning
Try placing the ad within the content: Visitors are usually interested in the content, so putting it at a place within the content would increase the chances of the ad getting seen and then getting clicked.
Ads are most effective on the left side: Naturally, we always look from left-to-right when we read something because of the English writing standards. Similarly, ads are most likely to be seen when they’re on the left side rather than being in the right most. Ads in the middle are also better than the ones on the right.
Place images around the ad: This is a little old but works so darn well on websites that only an idiot will not try this if he had a website which is not all about content but pictures and videos or just a fun tool.
Try to put the adsense in the most keyword rich place: Generally, we are told that Google Adsense ads are fetched by looking at the content all around the page, but usually this is given less weight. Adsense tries to deliver ads most relevant to the place where it is found. So try to put the ad where the keyword is used the most. Please note, that I did not mean to spam the hell out of your article just to get good ads!
Try to keep all ads above the fold: Many users don’t even scroll down when the visit the page and if you want to make the maximum money, you cannot risk to leave out those people who don’t scroll down. Instead, put them above the fold so that everyone can see them and improve your chances of getting more clicks. For your information, above the fold means that part of the web page that is visible without scrolling down.
Don’t put advertisements in the footer: This is just a stupid reason to lower your click-through ratio and get smart-priced. If you’re mistaken the please understand that nobody clicks ads in the footer so please remove them!
Don’t put two ads together, put some content between them: This would definitely be a very stupid thing to do. Firstly, it gives a bad impression to the visitor and makes the page look like spam. Secondly, it might display irrelevant or the same ads on both units. So always putting at least a paragraph of content before putting another ad unit.

The Ad’s Size
A leader board works best on the top of the page: A leader board on the top of the page, preferably on the right side (Because there is usually a logo on the left side). Although you can experiment, my results were the best when I stuck to image-only ads for the leader-board instead of the text ads.
A Medium banner works best under the header: Right under the header (Or the first 100-250 pixels of the height), a medium 468 x 60 ad works wonderfully. This works good for both, text ads as well as image ads.
Horizontal link lists work best under the header navigation: Long 728 x 15 horizontal link lists get lots of clicks. This used to work great, in fact it still works great in terms of more clicks. However, you might give it a second thought after keeping the new Google Adsense interest-based advertising in mind.
Square link lists should only be used in the sidebar and best tried to match the format of other widgets: Since you cannot modify the size of ads except the ones available, adjust your sidebar to fit the size of the square link list. Also try to imitate the style of links on the link unit to other widgets in your sidebar, so that link list looks just like other links and their titles in the sidebar. This is what I call ultimate blending.
Large Rectangle and Medium Rectangle work best within the content: If you want maximum clicks, then just place a large or medium rectangle within the content preferably on the left side. This is the best known adsense ad optimization. After all, a littleextra money won’t hurt right?
Sky scrapers and Wide sky scrapers work best in sidebar: Putting them a little way down the right or left sidebar works great. But be sure that these are text-only ads. Image ads don’t work here.

The Ad’s Type
Image ads get twice as much clicks as text ads on media blogs: By media blogs, I meant blogs which are primarily about pictures and videos and other graphical forms of presentation. On a place like this, text-ads would be like a cyclist in a nascar race. Hence, to match the graphics around always use image-only ads here.
Text ads are much more effective when embedded in the content: When you have articles or post or other information presented in the form of text, embedding text-ad rectangles works the best.
Test, Test and Test: You never know what might just work great so always keep testing. This might seem to be contradicting to number 24 but I’ll explain that. For example, if you have a post about pictures of britney spears and you have an ad near it that reads: ‘Contact Britney Spears’ or ‘Meet Britney Spears’, then you can imagine how many clicks that would get. So be sure to test for once at least to see what works best.
Generally, image ads grab more attention: Even if you want to grab some attention within the content then you might want to try image ads because generally they do grab more attention and if they are good they will attract more clicks. You can check that out with the adsense sandbox.

The Ad’s Tracking
Always put a custom channel on the ad to track that which ones work out to be the best: You have got to be missing out a lot if you don’t use custom channels for each and every different ad unit that you have. The real secret to adsense is optimizing and getting the most revenue out of the same traffic and space. You can never decide what works best until you put custom channels to see what works best.
Integrate your adsense account with your analytics account: If you haven’t done this already, you can find the link on the adsense dashboard after you create a google analytics account. This is very useful in tracking.
Check out which pages make the most money and try to replicate the success of those pages: This gives you a chance to see that what works the best. Since you’re the one who owns the website, you know what you did and then you can do that again to replicate that success to make more money. I mean that would be called making easy money online, how long does it take to replicate something you’ve done?
Check out which kind of traffic gives you the most adsense revenue and try to increase that: Normally, this would be search engine traffic but you can always see that for yourself. Why listen to me and not see it for yourself?
Check your adsense referrers and try to stabilize your revenue: On your Google Analytics account there is an option called adsense referrers. When you click that, you can see that which websites sent the visitors that clicked ads the most. You can use that information to try to increase visitors from that website.
Try to improve your website in the search engines to get more clicks: If your pages are getting most ‘adsense-clicking’ traffic from search engines then try to increase that traffic by doing some search engine optimization on your website. Concentrate on getting more backlinks to increase your website’s overall authority, you can read that on my article about how to get backlinks.
Try to improve position for search phrases that generate most revenue: You can also see that which keywords the visitors came from who clicked the most ads. Chances are that the nature of that query attracts the visitors to ads. There are also chances that you are not ranking number 1 for that, so you can always increase your earnings by ranking better for those key phrases.
Start filtering the ads on pages by looking at what kind of ads work on what kind of page: Unlike custom channels, google analytics also shows you which pages generated the most revenue. This way, you can carry out site-wide experiments and then see what works best on which page and then keep the ones that work good and remove the rest.
Keep track of the click-through rates before and after amendments to find out which worked better: With Google Analytics, you get a more in-detail view of the performance of your ads. This way you can make amendments on a page and then see whether it worked for good or for worse. It is demonstrated in in the form of statistical graphs which makes it very easy for us.
Use the website analyzer on google analytics to see where most visitors click and then try to replace that place with ads: The website optimizer is a great tool and it tells you about the places where your visitors click the most when the visit that page. You can use this information to substitute that with ads and make more money off that.

The Page design
Don’t overdo the designing: I don’t really think that adsense ads work so well with very ‘fancy’ designs. The simpler, the better.
Keep the background as light as possible, preferably white: I’ll share a secret with you. While some might give you other nasty techniques to make more money with adsense, I’ll just say: Give the user what he wants plus a good experience on your website. So make the background light, this is an aid to easy reading. Get the idea?
If the background is darker then make the background of the ad lighter than it: I discussed the same thing earlier and I’ll say it again. If you have a dark background like black then don’t make the ad black as well. In fact, make the ad background gray or white and this will get a lot of clicks. There are some times when you just don’t blend the ads.
Experiment fancy containers for the ad to see which one works best: Let your creativity go wild. Let it travel around the vast horizons of your thinking to bring out some cool yet silly things. After that, just put them to work and then keep experimenting till you know you’re one step away from busting your brain. That’s when you’ll know what works best. By the way, I was talking about creating good background images to place your ads on.
A very simple design with neatly blended ad can result in a high CTR: Yes, you heard it right. Our normal thinking is that fancy graphics and flash animations are a very cool thing. If you think from the perspective of a visitor, you will not think the same. Same as point 34, keeping a simpler design to enhance a better user interface will result in more revenue in the long run.
Create several imitations of the square link list: This is something you need to do with your sidebar. Even a newbie CSS learner could write a few lines of code to imitate the adsense link list. I’ve seen thousands of websites do this. Since people usually click less on ads, this way they’ll switch of the ad alert in their brain and click the ad.

Miscellaneous
Put adsense on those pages which get most of their visitors from Google: Now here comes the important part. We all know that mostly adsense ads are clicked by searchers. So you should put adsense on those pages that get most of their traffic from google, yahoo or bing. Now, if you’re thinking why should you do this, the answer is pretty simple. You should know that when people don’t click on your ad after some time you get smart-priced which means that you will not get the same amount per click that you usually get. So this helps eliminate the chance of your ad being seen by those who will not be interested in it generally.
Show google ads to searchers only: While the first step was more general and was all manual. In this, I’ll let you know about a nifty trick to show google ads to be seen by searchers only. If you’re using wordpress, just add the following code before and after your adsense code and then it will only show to google searchers:

<?php
$ref = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
if (strpos($ref, “google”)!==false)
{ ?>
[Google Adsense Code Here]
<?php } ?>
Test google ads and then decide whether they’ll be worth putting: Use the google adsense sandbox to check what ads will display for a certain keyword or on a specific page. You can check out the adsense sandbox. This is very useful as it can let you test out what kind of ads will display before you actually put them.
Look for better paying keywords and use them to pull high paying ads to make more money: First you need to open google adwords keywords tool. Next, you need to enter the primary keyword. When it shows all the keywords then select ‘Show Estimated Avg. CPC’ from the drop-down menu. Now just order them in descending order of the Average CPC and there you are with the most profitable keywords. Try to use them within content to experience the highest paying ads. You might also want to check them out using the adsense sandbox.
Use the ad filter to filter all ads which pay very low amounts like $0.05~: There used to be big lists around. You can still google them and find the list of low-paying advertisers. Once you’re logged in, first click on ‘Adsense Setup’ after that click on ‘Competitive Ad Filter’ and then paste the list of those websites in the big text box that you’ll see on that page. There you are, you’ve filtered all the low-paying advertisers.
Putting adsense on a website after it gains stability in the search results: This is very effective. Don’t put adsense on a new site. This has been self-tried by me and I only put adsense when the site gains a stable position in the search results. If you put adsense from day one, google thinks that you are probably in for the quick money and might send your site to the sandbox which will stop you from earning for about a year.
Try to keep one page more focused on one topic: I usually try to avoid putting adsense on pages which are very general and not focused on a specific topic. The reason is that the ads will not be so targeted and then there will be less chances of getting click-throughs. Having a low click-through rate might result in getting smart-priced which results in very low revenue per click.
Create more and more content, grab out for as much keywords as possible in different pages: Try to create targeted separate pages for each and everything you find on the topic of your website. Being more targeted increases the chances of getting clicks on that page and would also increase the overall authority of your website on that topic.
Don’t put adsense on every page, especially if you have a personal blog: You really wouldn’t want to put adsense on a post where you’re talking about your trip to cousin’s house. Reason being, a normal person wouldn’t be intersted in that topic. Those who will be interested in knowing about your trip will definitely not be interested in the ads. So, it is just another reason to get smart-priced.
Avoid non-english characters to avoid irrelevant ads (Via Eric Giguere): I found this to be stating that putting Non-English characters like a french last name on your page could result in multi-lingual ads which would be a really bad thing if you have an English only website. So try to reduce Non-English characters in your page to get the best ads.
According to Google’s new interest based advertising, recommend your visitors not to click the ads if they have no interest in it: I really do not have much knowledge on this but as far as I heard, google recently released their interest based advertising. For getting more revenue, you should advice your visitors not to click the ads if they are not interested in them. You never know, a few people who are not interested click the ads andadsense bans you for invalid clicks.
3 ad blocks per page maximum: This has also been discussed by google representatives and I think it is also in their TOS. Abide by this rule, it is for your own good. Personally, I’ve never put more than 2 ad blocks on a single page and 90% of the times there is only 1 ad block on the page. Trust me, 1 or 2 are better than 3 or 4.

There you are a big fat list of ways to make money on the internet, possibly the biggest one around (I’m guessing). In fact, I could have put this on a pdf and sold an ebook but I decided to give it away for free.

By the way, the link to the long talked adsense sandbox is here not on the list! Now I’ll tell you why list is very effective for earning money on the internet.

Everyone can create a free account at adsense and everyone can create a free website. Thousands of people create content. If you mix the first two with the practical tips from this list, you’re on your way to making a residual income from Adsense.

This is the ultimate answer if you wanted to know how to make money with adsense. Could it get any easier and simpler than this? I don’t think so…

For the record, this is the biggest article I’ve ever written on this blog and probably the one I spent most time on as well.

Adsense Free BringsYoub 155 free Adsense Templates/

noreply@blogger.com (CRD) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 04:34:47 PDT

Have you ever wanted to have a semi-automated way of making money with adsense? Well, now you’ve got it. Today I’ll be talking about a website calledAdsenseFree.Com and it is the website which will help you setup a huge network of websites with adsense.

That’s right, I’m talking about dozens of adsense ready templates ready to make money for you. That is, if you know how to make money with adsense. So basically adsense free gives you a whole bunch of adsense templates that already have adsense on them, they also have a theme and some content on each page.

This is perfect for adsense newbies, people who want to make money with adsense but don’t know how to create a website or simply for those who don’t have time in setting up adsense on hundreds of pages and then finding content for each page. So by now I know what’s going on in your mind

What’s the Catch?

You must be thinking: Why is this website giving away free adsense templates, there must be some catch. They must be charging some money for the templates in one way or the other.

The fact is, you will not be charged a single penny for the templates and all 155 adsense templates are going to be gifted for you for free. All you have to do is sign up for a normal hosting package which you would have done so if you ever wanted to start up a website. That’s it!

Just for signing up for a nominal hosting package (which you will be needing anyways), you will be given 155 adsense templates ready to do the work for you. Plus, you get many other free gifts from them. Once you sign-up through their recommended host, just send them an email and you will get the reply very soon with the file attached containing 155 adsense templates and other important information.

Now those are not just 155 pages with content on them. I’m talking about 155 templates/categories each of which has their own sub-pages as content fillers. So, each category has around 70 – 150 pages filled with content regarding that category. So if you do the math, that is around 0.15 million pages ready with content and adsense on them for you to make money.

It doesn’t end there. Think how tedious it would’ve been if you had to insert your adsense publisher id into each one of them pages manually. It could easily take you a few days if you are a newbie.

But this sweet package includes a little program which will ask you for your adsense publisher id and then edit each and every page with your adsense publisher id to make sure that those pages make you money once they get traffic.

If you were to put the 0.15 million pages on a brand new website, it would take you a maximum of ten minutes to have thousands of content rich, adsense-ready pages floating around your website like they’ve been lying there for ages. That is the best part of it. However, now comes the real review of this thing which shall tell us whether this thing is good for making money or not.

Can This Thing Really Make Me Money?

This is by far the most important point of this post. You would only want to check this out if you were assured that it would make you money or not and if so then how would it make you money. The only drawback that this thing has is: That the content is not unique.

The content that is put on individual pages under each template or category is taken from article directories. This kind of ruins your plans of getting traffic from search engines to it unless you are really a professional.

If you are a complete newbie, first you should know how to make money with adsense because just putting up a website with 0.15 million pages and not getting even one visitor to it will not make you even a cent for decades.

So, I wouldn’t really recommend this to you if you are a first time adsense user. However, if you already have some experience with adsense prior to this then you might know how to make money with adsense without involving SEO or organic traffic.

For the PPC lovers

This might be the perfect thing if you are a PPC junkie. That is because you have 0.1 million pages and each and every one of them is targeted to a specific thing. So after this if you ever want to get any niche, you might check this website because your little niche might already be a part of this monster empire. You can pin point traffic from adwords, etc. to individual pages and make money off it.

This is called PPC/Adsense arbitrage. This is kind of tough to get a hang of but many people have made several hundreds and thousands of dollars with this (not me) and it gets cumulative with time. Just to let you know if you want to try it out and take the risk, it involves buying cheap traffic through adwords on low-bid keywords and then targeting high-bid keywords on your page and getting clicks on those ads. When your adsense earnings surpass your adwords expenditure, congratulations, you’re making profits!

But what about SEO?!

I know it is sad but SEO might be a no-no situation for this monster empire of yours unless you’re a SEO professional. I already said this before, but what would that SEO professional do here that could get your content indexed and probably get a little share of the organic search traffic is one thing: Domain trust.

By building domain trust you let Google know that you’re not one of those pesky spammers that have thousands of pages with the same content and want each and every one of them to rank in the top.

Simply because, a person whose domain has some authority would never really do such a thing and this differentiates you from the spammers. So my advise would be to try to get links from high page rank websites.

Usually, high authority websites do not link to spam websites. So, you’re standing out of the crowd right there. This can really help your website get indexed and then given traffic eventually. But I must warn you, relying on this can take a lot of time and patience is required.

There you are. I’ve given you the good sides and the bad sides of this program. I’ve told for whom this might not work and also mentioned whom this would work for and how it can be used by them to make money. Whether you go for it or not, the decision is up to you. If you have any experiences with this program, I encourage you to share with others through the comments below.

Anonymous blogging Vs. Conventional Blogging

noreply@blogger.com (CRD) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 04:30:31 PDT

An anonymous blogger is one who blogs under a pen name. He doesn’t reveal his identity to the readers, doesn’t matter what the reason is. Since I started blogging I have seen quite an increasing trend to this.

Conventional blogging is, well, just normal blogging where you don’t hide your identity from the readers. There may be a million and one ways why people choose the anonymity way to blogging, I will not be getting into that. But I will just be analyzing the merits and demerits of choosing to blog anonymously.

Instead of having you read through a huge pile of text, I’ll take the privilege to present it to you in form of a table.

#	Anonymous Blogging	Conventional Blogging
1	Not suitable if you want to build a community on your blog and increase interaction from the users who visit your website.	Much more suitable and reader-friendly in terms of receiving feedback from the visitors and creating interaction on your blog.
2	Hardly any chances of becoming some kind of an authority blogger or a ‘mover’ in your niche due to your anonymity.	Since you’re giving users a much better way to get to know you, a ‘real’ person’s opinion would also matter to them and you have a much better chance of having some importance in your niche.
3	Quite odd chances of making blogging friends unless you reveal your identity. I mean, you can’t be anonymous and a friend at the same time!	If you’re a friendly kind of a person and allow your readers access to your profiles on social networks, you might as well make some very helpful blogging friends.
4	Much harder to build user trust. This is very important if you’re trying to sell something on your blog or are trying to collect your reader’s email addresses. People are becoming more concerned about spam and scams.	When you get personal with your readers, your trust builds automatically. The problogger’s successful launch of his ’31 Days to better blogging’ is a good example of the trust and authority factor on the success of an e-book launch.
5	You’re in a much safer position to try something shady.So, you can go ahead and try those traffic logs and other shady traffic ideas because even if you get caught you’re not losing reputation.	This is a big NO for the not-so-anonymous bloggers. Your reputation count goes to negative if you try something shady, others will think of your website as spammy and you have almost to recover from that.
6	There are times when you just want to go too controversial and expose some bad side of a kind of a big blogger. When you’re blogging anonymously, you are in the most safe position because any flaming from them would just be hitting a blank face.	You have to watch your mouth. The blogosphere is a big community you might not want to trash-talk and seem like the rude and arrogant blogger in the community and turn your blogging experience into a hell.
7	Better for MFA website. If your website is one of those throw-away websites that you make just for adsense then I would advise you to go for anonymous blogging. You can simply put up any type of content and make money. No worries about that.	Not to mention, the nonsense content we marketers put up there. You don’t want to lose your reputation again and get flamed by people accusing you of trying to ‘make monies’ and providing them low-quality content.
8	Just not suitable for branding, in most cases.	Perfect for branding. Provided that you choose a good domain name, make yourself and your blog brand-able.

That’s it for this little comparison between the two blogging ways that you could adopt. Now while I provided you with a more obvious side of the anonymous blogging thing.

For a new blogger wanting to achieve success, I would definitely recommend conventional blogging. There are many, many, many bloggers on the internet which may be a million times better than me at blogging and making money, and they are blogging anonymously.

My comparison was for the average start-up blogger because everybody does not have terrific humor like Internet marketing sucks or mastermind seo ideas like Slightly Shady SEO which cut out the anonymity part for the average reader.

So, go through this list again if you’re one of the double-minded people who just can’t decide which one is better.

P.S. You would NEVER want to reveal your identity on an money making auto blog. Take my word on this one. *gulps*

Does A High Bounce Rate Equal more Money

noreply@blogger.com (CRD) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 04:27:23 PDT

When I first started blogging and was extremely fond of tracking statistics, one aspect that always bugged me was the bounce rate. Despite repeated attempts, the bounce rate would never come under control. By having it under control, I mean, having it under the 50% level. Over time, my bounce rate has oscillated and I have come to learn its importance with respect to different types of blogs and as it turns out, bounce rate can also be used to one’s advantage. This is how Wikipedia defines bounce rate

A Guide on Getting Your Adsense Account verfied

noreply@blogger.com (CRD) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 04:24:46 PDT

There is a long story behind why it took me over 4 months to receive my first payment after I had reached the minimum adsense threshold of $100 back in 2008. It may be fairly easy for people in other countries, but it is kind of a tough job for some people in Pakistan

, India and some African countries to get verified by Adsense.

Please understand that this article is notabout getting approved by adsense, but about getting your approved adsense account verified in order to receive payments. Before being approved by adsense, we always think that getting approved is the toughest part. But soon we realise that the whole process is one bumpy road.

Once you reach the minimum payment threshold on Adsense, they send a PIN to you through the postal service to confirm your home address. Once you enter the PIN in your adsense account, your account is verified.

However, in my case, the postal service was consistently misplacing the letter containing the PIN which was quite frustrating for me. Moreover, you can only request the PIN three times, after which your account is locked.

Before requesting it for the third time, I finally contacted their support and told them of the issue. They offered me to verify my account sending them a scanned image of the identity card or utility bill, both with the payee name and address on them.

I responded to them with the scanned copy and they verified my account soon. Had I known earlier, I wouldn’t have waited so much. So, if anyone is trying to verify their account then I would recommend them to consider this option as it is much more quicker than the default method for verification.
