Adsense basics

All you have to know about adsense - 1

I am starting a series about adsense. I want to include almost everything that I know about adsense.

Lets start with a question, what is Adsense?

Adsense is a advertising network which delivers contextual/relevant advertisements to your blog or website. By having google´s contextual ads webmasters or bloggers can earn money.

What is contextual ads?

Contextual ads mean, advertisements related to your blog or websites content. For example, if you look at the advertisements of this blog, then you will notice advertisements about money making, blogging and about adsense. These ads are being delivered because, my blogs content are related to blogging tips, money making methods and adsense.

How can one apply for Adsense account?

If any of you want to apply for Adsense account, click here, fill the informations about you and about your website and send it to adsense. Adsense will review your application, website and then will send a mail to you about their decision.

Make sure that your website is not related to any of the following things,

  • Violent content, racial intolerance, or advocacy against any individual, group, or organization
  • Pornography, adult, or mature content
  • Hacking/cracking content
  • Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia
  • Excessive profanity
  • Gambling or casino-related content
  • Content regarding programs which compensate users for clicking on ads or offers, performing searches, surfing websites, or reading emails
  • Excessive, repetitive, or irrelevant keywords in the content or code of web pages
  • Deceptive or manipulative content or construction to improve your site's search engine ranking, e.g., your site's PageRank
If your site/blog is accepted then you can start to place adsense code in your blog or site. But before doing that, just read about what are the things you should know for not getting banned by adsense.

  • Don't click your own ads
  • Don’t ask others to click on your Google ads
  • Don´t direct user attention to the ads via arrows or other graphical gimmicks
  • Do not place misleading images alongside individual ads
  • Do not promote sites displaying ads through unsolicited mass emails or unwanted advertisements on third-party websites
  • May not compensate users for viewing ads or performing searches, or promise compensation to a third party for such behavior
  • May not place misleading labels above Google ad units - for instance, ads may be labeled "Sponsored Links" but not "Favorite Sites"
  • Sites showing Google ads may not contain pop-ups or pop-unders that interfere with site navigation, change user preferences, or initiate downloads.
  • Any AdSense code must be pasted directly into webpages without modification. AdSense participants are not allowed to alter any portion of the code or change the behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads. For instance, clicks on Google ads may not result in a new browser window being launched.
To read the full list of googles program policy, click here.

How much one can earn from adsense?

It depends on how much clicks and traffic you get to your blog or website. There are many people who earn 100´s of U.S. dollars per day. There are some people who earn in 6 digits per annum. But to earn that much money you must get at least 1000 unique visitors per day. If your blog is getting 50-100 unique visitors, you cant expect to earn 100$/month.

As google say, if you concentrate on providing unique quality content, getting traffic and making money will be lot easier.

Now some other frequently asked basic questions:

Can I use adsense and other contextual adnetworks (Yahoo Publisher Network, Clicksor etc) on same page?

No, you shouldn't do that. It is against google´s TOS. You will get banned if you do that.

Can I use Adbrite ads and Adsense ads on same page?

Yes, one can use adbrite ads and adsense ads on same page.

Can I use Adsense ads and amazon ads on same page?

Yes, you can use them on same page.

What is CPC ?

CPC - Cost Per Click . How much money a click earns for you.

What is CTR ?

CTR - Click Through Ratio. This is ratio between number of clicks and number of impression.

What is eCPM ?

eCPM - Effective CPM. Cost per 1000 impressions. This is calculated by dividing total earning number of impressions in thousand. For example if you earn 5$ for 2500 impressions, then the CPM is 2$. From this one can realize how good their conversion is.

Will my blog get accepted if I am under 18?

Yes, but you need to sign up with your parent/Guardian name, address and the payments will be made to their name.

Online money making systems using your computer at home

Online money making systems using your computer at home

Curious to know about what is under web pages, how to make money online ?
Systems like ClickBank, AdSense and other pay per click can help you make money on the internet. It doesn't matter if you already have a few ideas or starting from scratch. You will learn on this site different ways of making money at home, how advertising works, finding the right keywords, optimizing your web pages, how to improve your Page Rank (PR), how to drive traffic to your site, what are the tools available on the web, Systems like Adsense and AdWords, what ClickBank has to offer and how to start creating a successful website that will help you earn cash and make money online. Do like thousands of people and turn your computer to a money making machine. Now as never been a better time to start an internet business and find free money on the web.

Millions of people are surfing the net every day looking for all kinds of services, videos, business opportunities, music, infos like news, sports stats, celebrities profiles, photos and lot more. There is millions of things that people are looking for on the internet. Anything that you can come up with will attract a type of croud. So, that said, one of the first thing to consider when starting an online business, especially if you want to use systems like AdSense and attract lots of people, is that anyone who is successful on the web and make money online would strongly suggest that you start with something that you like, that you know and even if you know it well, that is easy for you to keep up-to-date with that subject, research about it simply because you like that subject. So your website comes as a whole and it will be way much easier for you to come up with good news and good content because you will enjoy doing it.

One of the misconception of making money online business is that, like all the get rich quick - fast and easy systems, it is really not that easy and you will have to put some time into it, you will have to work hard on it to achieve your goals and to keep up with the rest of the WWW, you will need to do a lot of research and look what others are doing if it's not just to make sure that you are not delivering too old informations that your crowd already knows.

The few following paragraphs are not intended to discourage you but to give you a better understanding of what it is really about and what are the real facts that owners of these systems would never dare to mention. If you haven't noticed yet, I'm not here to sell you anything, the money I make, I make it with people like you coming to my site and clicking on the ads on top and left of my pages, so I am not pitching you and this is why I don't mind sharing my knowledge with you.

Most of the get rich quick systems and make money online quick do not work. They promise you incredible amounts of money within a few days doing nothing or very not much. These systems have been around for a while now, most of them uses the same old ideas but revamped, repackaged and sold by a different guy. There is an old saying in french that says: that guy could sell a freezer to an eskimo. Which simply means that the guy is really good at selling and the key to good sells is the sell pitch.

Anyone on this planet needs money, so that is a good start; add some rich and famous theme pictures, big bold sentences like free money on the internet or free online money making opportunity, a lot of colors and flashing light, and you've just created a copy of Las Vegas and a silly dream of making huge money. The reality is that you were just attracted by the flashing lights and you didn't even notice that you were already thinking of getting your credit card and process. All that started from the simple sell pitch that you will be making huge amount of money within days, with no effort, with no extra money at the same time you were blinded by those lights and fake success stories. The thing is, in most of these systems, the money is good but unfortunetly not for you but for the one who is selling you these books, videos and charts.

I emphasized in an upper paragraph that most get rich quick systems don't work, so some, a few, have some potential and can show you the way to make money online. Always keep in mind that results will vary from person to person and it is a really big sentence that you should keep in mind. It is not because one person was way over successful doing something that you will automatically replicate that success. There are factors to consider on these unique success stories like: people that helped that person, time spent, lots and lots of luck, money invested to help, advertising, etc. Here is a funny comparison you might say but it fits perfect; a guy bought a lottery ticket yesterday and won the 21 million jackpot, now, what are your chances, if you go buy a ticket, to do the same? The facts are that it can happen, you can win too, but it is almost impossible. So these types of success stories about get rich quick systems are sell's pitch and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Anyways you are here for a reason, you clicked this site because you had that in mind and are willing to give it a try and start your online small business. Hopefully this site will help you in your success to financial freedom. And I'll do my best to give you the real facts and tools for you to achieve your goal and make money online.

Using affiliate programs like AdSense is one of, if not the best, ways to make money online. You make money 24/7 at home, while in front of your computer, away from your computer, sleeping, on vacation, etc. Sounds great!?
The facts are that it is exactly like that! It's almost hard to believe and it sounds even a bit phony and too good to be true. But trust me on this one it is like that. But, what you don't know and the ones selling you E-books and subsciptions definitely don't want you to know, is that it needs a setup before the system runs on its own.
You just don't wake up one morning and there is a E-business or Website there with your name on and with thousands of visitors coming through every day. The process of creating and running a successful money making Website is very hard and time consuming. This is why you should do something that relates to you, that way you will enjoy and have fun in the process. But if you take your time and read anything that can help, you will be waking up one day with a nice money making Website.

Time is very important in the process because lots of things on the to do list to achieve a successful Website will take time on its own and there is nothing you can do about it. There are ways to speed up some of the things, but they will still take time on there own to show significant progress. One of the major time consuming process is the traffic that will eventually be driven to your Website. Before people can come to your Website a few things need to be done and the results will eventually lead to an increase of traffic to your Website. Just getting listed in search engines takes time, but a Website at page 243 of the search results has basically no chances at all of getting visitors. So, increasing your search engine page rank will take time on its own. All these can be implemented to speed the things up, but it does not happen overnight.

So before going too excited, quiting your job and throwing your hard earned money away, keep in mind that it is possible but it is hard, it takes time and you will need to learn a lot of things, software, host interface, search engine optimization and anything you can learn that surrounds that subject.

When you get good at everything related to e-business and Web site design and most importantly that your Web site is generating nice income that can provide you with a decent living, then you can start thinking of leaving your in real life job.

Making money with ClickBank

If you have a virtual product like:
  • E-books
  • downloadable software
  • Your music
  • Etc..
or service to sell:
  • Lessons
  • Tutorials
  • Advise
  • Etc...

that can be delivered over the Internet by web pages, files, or email then ClickBank might be something you want to consider.

When you become part of Click bank, you submit your product and then you become listed in there product list. When other website owners see your product and think that it might be a good ideas to have your product display on their website, they are given a script to add to their page. When a user come to their website and see what you are selling and decide to buy it, then you get paid and a commission is paid to the website owner who actually promoted your product and sold it.

The good thing about this is that, a lot of webnasters are doing an incredible marketing job of promoting and selling your product. So in one word, for a commission and a product, you let others do the job of selling your product by using their website and traffic.

What goes around comes around, if there is people with products to sell it sure needs people to promote and sell them. Let say:

You have a nice website about guitar playing, technics, lessons and etc...
You go on ClickBank to find out that there is a lot of people selling music e-books, music software, online course, etc...
Wouldn't be wise to put that kind of stuff on your pages? since users that come to your website are already looking for that kind of stuff. By viewing your website and craving for more a user sees a link on your page that leads him to a online course with a live teacher. That user is so happy that he decides to register for a whole year for 200$/yr. By looking at what % commission you get when a sell is done, you realize that the seller is giving 50% commission. Wow! you made a 100$!!!
