Make money $$ online-AdSense revenue

20 Ways to Make Money on the Internet

1. Start a website or a blog and earn revenue through advertising networks like Google AdSense and BuySellAds. You can even sell your own ads directly through Google DFP.
2. Launch a curated email newsletter using MailChimp and find sponsors or use a subscription model where people pay a fee to receive your newsletter.  HackerNewletter, Now I Know and Launch.co are good examples.
3. Create your own YouTube channel and become a YouTube partner to monetize your videos. You may use Oneload to distribute the same video to multiple video sites.
4. Make something creative – like handbags, jewelry, paintings, craft items – and sell them on Etsy, ArtFire or eBay.
5. Build your own online store with Shopify or SquareSpace and sell both physical goods and digital downloads. Sell everything from furniture to clothes to food.
6. Create t-shirt designs and put them on Threadless, Zazzle and CafePress.
7. Write a book and publish it on the Kindle store, Google Play and iBooks. You can also sell your ebook to other retailers through services like Smashwoodsand BookBaby.
8. Become an instructor at Udemy and SkillShare and get paid for teaching your favorite subjects – from guitar to literature to yoga to foreign languages – to a worldwide audience.
9. Learn how to code and you can then hunt for software development projects atGuru, eLance or Rent-a-Coder (now Freelancer.com).
10. Become a virtual office assistant and offer administrative or technical assistance to clients remotely from your home office. Head over to eLance, TaskRabbit and oDeskfor finding work.
11. Offer one-on-one help to anyone worldwide over live video using Google Helpouts. You can do live cooking classes, teach maths or even offer fitness and nutrition tips.
12. Write scripts, browser extensions, plugins or mobile apps for iOS and Android and sell the source code of your software on CodeCanyon, Chupa or BinPress.
13. People are outsourcing petty computer jobs – like data entry work, transcribing text from business cards or performing web research – and you find these jobs atMechanical Turk, an Amazon service.
14. Creative professionals can scan marketplaces like CrowdSpring, 99Designs andDesignCrowd for projects involving logo design, web design, brochures and other marketing material.
15. Do you have a good voice? Sign-up as an audio narrator at Umano or become a voice over artist at VoiceBunny and Voice123.
16. Record your own music and sell it on music stores like Amazon MP3, iTunes, Pandora or Spotify through DistroKid, Tunecore, loudr.fm and CDBaby. You can also sell your audio files directly on marketplaces like AudioJungle, Pond5 andBandcamp.
17. Become an affiliate for Amazon and various online stores and earn a commission on sales. You can use programs like Vigilink, ShareASale, CJ or LinkShare to know about the various vendors that offer affiliate programs.
18. Educators and teachers can help students with homework or offer on-demand teaching class over the Internet. Apply to become an online tutor at Tutor.com,InstaEdu and TutorVista.
19. Got an empty room in your apartment? You can list the property on Airbnb, host people and make some money. The other alternative is Couchsurfing but the service forbids from charging guests.
20. Sell photographs that you have taken on Creative Market, PhotoDune, iStockPhotoor ImgEmbed. The latter lets you easily license photos you have uploaded on Facebook, Flickr or Instagram for online use.

21. How Much Can You Earn With AdSense?

    
    
    The commission you receive per click depends on how much advertisers are paying Google for the particular ad. You will earn a share of that amount.  I've heard of earnings anywhere from 2 cents to $15 per click.
    Getting over $1 is probably very rare, although it does happen from time to time. However, you will find that most of your earnings will be on the lower.
     
22. If you want to make a lot of money, prepare to write a lot of content and learn how to market your site. Don't expect to throw up a 10 page site and make $1,000 per month.

Mobile content is different-AdSense

When you’re considering a mobile surfer as
 part of the audience for your site,
keep in mind the different uses for the mobile
Web. Google has done a lot of
research in this area and has defined three
 types of mobile surfers:
Repetitive Now:This is the group of mobile
 surfers who have a set
of online activities that they conduct from their
 phones on a regular
basis. Some of the repetitive tasks these
surfers perform are checking
the weather, reading news stories and blog posts,
 and checking stock quotes.

Bored Now:The Bored Now group of Web surfers have a few minutes
of downtime and don’t know what else to do in such a short amount of
time. Out comes the phone, and the Web browser is opened to occupy
their minds for just a few minutes. This type of mobile surfer is probably
the most targeted because this is the only area where true e-commerce
dollars can be captured. Bored Now surfers are selecting ringtones,
downloading videos, and adding themes to their phones.

Urgent Now:“We need it right now” is the motto of this group of mobile
surfers. These people are booking, changing, or checking airline flights,
booking hotel rooms, finding directions, or locating restaurants. They
need information now, so they pull out their phones to find it.

Mobile content is definitely different from the content that you find on other
Web pages, and because it is, participation in AdSense for Mobile has some
different requirements. Obviously, the Web site must be mobile-compliant,
but it also must be developed with a server-side scripting language, such as
PHP.

Article layout:The experience of reading on-screen is very different
from reading on paper. On-screen, it’s much easier to get lost. Eye strain
is also much more common when you focus on a computer screen for
too long. Computer screens have an invisible bar that scrolls across the
screen refreshing the image constantly.

Your Web site visitors will love you for it. Potential Web site visitors are
more likely to stay on your site, reading your articles, viewing your other
types of content, and eventually clicking your AdSense ads if you’re offering
them content they can’t find elsewhere. The only place to get that kind of
content is to either write it yourself or hire someone to write it for you.

Titles and headings:Because reading is much more of a chore online,
many people don’t completely read everything. Those who do read
everything skim a page first just to make sure it’ll be worth their time to
read through it. That means you need to catch your visitors’ attention as
quickly as possible.

Links within articles:One last element that you should include in
your articles and blog posts is links to other, related articles and blog
posts, both on your Web site and on others’ Web sites. Linking to other
resources provides additional information for your site visitors. Usually,
those visitors will click through those links and then click back to the
page from which they came. If you worry about visitors clicking away
from your site, never to return, set your links up so that they open in a
new window. Opening links in a new window keeps your Web site open
and in front of the visitors. When they’re finished examining the site
you’ve linked to, they can close the window and be right back on your
Web site.

Google Mobile is a service for workers who are on the go and who are able to send
and receive information from their cell phone, Blackberry, or other palm device.

Google Mobile actually is a suite of services, each of which is available in a ‘‘small
screen’’ version: Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, Google News, and Google
SMS, the text messaging service.
It’s easy to use the service: go to http://www.google.com/mobile.
Enter your mobile phone number in the box provided and click the Send
 me the link button.
In a few seconds, your cell phone will let you know a message has been received. 

AdSense gives anyone with a Web site the ability to place ads there from Google.
Google makes sure the ads relate in some way to the content on the Web page. You’ve
probably seen AdSense ads before; they’re the contextual ads that often appear in a
block of two or three and are often lined up vertically on the page.

AdSense also gives you the option to add a search box to your site. This enables
your visitors to perform a search and turn up search results that complement your
own content. In either case, if someone clicks on one of the ads you display, you earn
a bit of revenue. You are paid either using the cost-per-click or CPC model or the
cost-per-thousand-impressions or CPM model. In CPC, you are paid a small amount
every time someone clicks on an ad. In CPM, you are paid when your ads are displayed 1000 times—in other words, when the page that displays an ad is viewed 1000
times. In either case, the earnings you make depend on how rich your site’s content



is and how many visitors your site attracts. Before you start working out the exact
size and format of the ads you want to run, your first job is to create a Web site that
has the content to make AdSense ads actually work.

Top Google AdSense Tips-who publish AdSense ads

Top Google AdSense Tips website

People who publish AdSense ads on their
 Web sites are always working to
find new ways to increase their earnings
 from AdSense ads. Usually, that
means creating new Web sites and blogs
 and then populating them with content.

Not everyone has time to keep up with
 all that, so some people who publish
AdSense ads on their Web sites have
come up with an innovative way to
show AdSense ads without investing
so much time and effort.

Make your site easy to navigate by
creating a consistent navigational
structure across your site and by making
 that navigational structure
obvious to visitors.Nothing’s worse
 than getting stuck on a Web page
without a link to the home page or
another way off the page without
using your back button or closing
your browser completely.
Include relevant links to other Web sites.


Use a site mapa text document that
 links to every page on the site
and submit it to Google.To submit your
 site map, you have to be a
member of Google’s Webmaster
 Central, but signing up for that is as
easy as signing up for any other Google account.

Google AdSense -  earn revenue from online content

Include clear, relevant content.
Make sure the HTML that makes
 up your site is written correctly.
Repair broken links as soon as
they’re noticed.
Allow crawlers access to your Web site
 by including a robots.txt file in
the design of your site.The robots.txtfile
has two lines:
User agent: *
Disallow: /
Create the file with a text editor, such as
 Notepad, save it using robots.
txt, and then when you upload your
Web site to a server, be sure to
also upload this file.The file tells
Web site crawlers that they’re
welcome to look at all the pages
on your Web site.

Design your pages for users, not for
search engines.Users come to your
site because they need something.
Design your site so that the visitors
you’re targeting get exactly what
they need — information and products
that they’re searching for. By designing
 your site with your visitors in
mind, you’ll automatically hit most
of the requirements that search engines
have for ranking you in search results.

Choosing the right keywords
Choosing the right keywords is a bit of a science
but it’s also a bit of old fashioned luck.
 No keyword guide is out there for the
 perplexed that cantell you whether the
 keyword is perfect for this or that subject.
 Instead, thewords that apply to your
subject are what they are. So, the best
 place to startlooking for the right keywords
 for your topic is to brainstorm all the words
that are most prevalent when the topic is in discussion.

Use the Color Picker to the right of each
 ad element  Border, Title,
Background, Text, and URL  to choose
a new color for an element.
a color palette opens from which you can
 choose other colors.
Note that after you make the change, the
 sample ad in the lower-left
corner of the wizard screen changes to
reflect the new color.
 Play with your Color Picker just a little
so you can get a feel for how wild
you can make your ads. I don’t recommend
making them wild for actual
use, though. My strong advice to you will
 always be the simpler, the
better.

Select the channel you want to use to track
your ad and then click
Continue. Remember that channels are
categories that
 you create so you can keep
up with how specific ads perform.

Using Multiple Ads
Having multiple ads means more chances
 for site visitors to click your ads.
With that reasoning, many Web site owners
 who add AdSense to their pages
automatically put as many ads as they
 can on their Web site.
Using multiple ads — more than one ad
 unit per page is usually a recommended
 practice. Having multiples gives you the
 opportunity to catch your
site visitors in more than one location.
 It also allows you to include ads on
your site that may appeal to different audiences.

Getting in the zone
A zoneis an area of your Web site that draws
 readers’ eyes. Most Web sites
have a header zone, a content zone, and a
 sidebar zone. Visitors focus on
each of those areas for a different reason.
The content zoneis where visitors focus
 most of their attention.
This is where the main content of your
 site is found, and
 that’s what your visitors are looking for.
 Content is first,links are secondary.
Don’t get fooled, though. Links
may be secondary, but they’re still
an important part of the site.

Types of search
Conduct a site search
Conduct a Web search
Conduct a targeted search
See results returned on your Web site
See results returned on the Google site




Besides, if the visitor will leave your site anyway to
search for the information she’s looking for, why not
 give her the option of searching from your site?
The visitor benefits in time saved, and you benefit in
 the possible revenue stream. Plenty of options for the types
 of search you can allow are available, too. Users can Conduct
 a site search Conduct a Web search
Conduct a targeted search See results returned on your
 Web site See results returned on the Google site It’s not
 just plain vanilla search, in other words.

You can really punch up your search capabilities so
 that your site visitors can search with style and find
 what they’re looking for. You can even direct the
search so that users aren’t pulling information
from your competition.

There’s one small issue of which you might want
 to be aware upfront. When
you’re creating a Google Gadget with the intent
 of embedding Google AdSense
code into it, you first need permission from AdSense.
 AdSense doesn’t usually have a problem with
 granting that permission, but without it, your ad probably
won’t show up properly in the gadget.

To get permission, you have to e-mail Google AdSense with their support form
found at www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/request.py. Enter
your contact information in the form, and then, in the text box provided for
questions or statements, write a brief request to use AdSense in your gadget.
If you already have an active gadget that is popular, be sure to include information about it. If you’re creating a new gadget, include that information too. And
don’t forget a description of your gadget. Google will make the determination
to allow you to use AdSense in your gadget on a case-by-case basis.
You may have to wait a few days to get a response from AdSense, so think a
little ahead of the game if you’re trying to meet a specific deadline.
Another issue to keep in mind when you’re creating your gadgets with
AdSense embedded in them is that the combination of the two isn’t something that Google came up with, so there are times when gadgets and
AdSense don’t play well together.
This can result in either the gadget that you’ve created not being shown or
the AdSense ad not being shown. There’s no known fix for this issue right
now. Google’s working on it, so you’ll see that your ads and gadgets display
well for a time and then they’ll crash.

If that disposable income is available, why wouldn’t you want to tap into it?
Most Web site owners do feel that urge, so they’ve created mobile-friendly
Web sites that allow cell phone-enabled Internet users to access their content whether those visitors are sitting on the bus or climbing the Rocky
Mountains. Of course, with mobile Web sites, Google will find a way to monetize these mobile-friendly sites.
Enter Google AdSense for Mobile,which is a program that allows you to put
ads on your Web site that can be displayed on mobile browsers. Visitors surfing your site with a mobile phone can see and click these ads, and you can
earn some bucks even in this smaller format.

Nearly half of all mobile Internet users use mobile Web sites only to find
tidbits of immediately useful information. Mobile surfers don’t usually surf
just for the fun of being on the Internet — they save major surfing for when
they can sit at a computer and see pages displayed more than a few words
at a time. In part, that’s because mobile Web sites are usually pretty poorly
designed still, despite the fact that the mobile Web has been around for
awhile now.
It’s hard to get the hang of how a Web site should appear on a cell phone
screen. Many Web site owners make the mistake of designing their Web site
for the computer screen and then enabling it for mobile phones without
changing site design. You can do that, but the results won’t be the most
useful site a mobile surfer comes across.
Enabling your site for mobile users is easy — for the most part. In most
cases, it requires a small switch in the encoding of your Web site from HTML
(HyperText Markup Language) to XHTML (eXtensible HyperText Markup
Language) or another mobile-enabled Web design language.
Some mobile applications, however, require PHP— hypertext processor(I
have no clue how the popular acronym gained the first P). PHP is a serverside processing language because scripts(or applications) are run from the
server rather than from the computer that the application appears on. This
makes it much easier to have rich programming on Web sites, which doesn’t
depend on the computer a visitor may be using.
Because of the way it works, PHP makes creating rich, detailed mobile Web
sites a much easier process. The cool part is that if you have a Web site written in HTML or XHTML, changing it to PHP is often as easy as changing the
extension of the files that make up the site from .htmto .php. Really.

AdSense for Video

AdSense for Video is the newest addition
 to the video family for AdSense. So
new, in fact, that it’s still in beta testing,
 and is only available to a certain number
of participants. To be selected, you also
 have to meet certain restrictions:
You must have a Flash 7 player that you
can control.

You must have 1,000,000 or more monthly
streams — that’s a million times a month that
 your video is viewed by site visitors. Don’t let the
number scare you. It’s not all that uncommon for a popular YouTube
video to get a million or more views in a month’s time.
You must be a U.S.-based Web site owner who publishes AdSense ads on
your site and you must have a primarily U.S. viewership.
If you meet these requirements and want to display AdSense for Video ads.


While the ad is showing, the video that should be playing in the player is
paused. Then, when the ad is finished, the area in which it is displayed
shrinks back but still displays a link to the advertiser. The video that you
have set to play should then begin on its own.

Text overlay ads don’t contain any actual video. They are simple text ads
that overlay the lower one-third of the player. Your video plays as usual but
the link remains available throughout the whole video.
There is no inherent advantage to one type of ad over the other — InVideo or
Text Overlay. It’s mostly a personal choice that should be governed by what
you and your visitors prefer.

Putting AdSense video capabilities into place on your Web site differs a little
with each different type of video capability AdSense offers. The simplest path
to take involves using click-to-play video ads, whereas AdSense for Video is
definitely a bit trickier.

Implementing click-to-play video ads is as simple as choosing the right format
(large rectangle, square, wide skyscraper, and so on) and enabling graphic
ad displays. Choosing the right format for video ads

Google AdSense-Enabling earn revenue

Google AdSense

You might be saying to yourself , this is truly
 fascinating stuff, but where does AdSense fit in to all this?”
 Wonder no longer. AdSense in its infinite
wisdom, is working on software that would place
AdSense ads directly into the RSS feeds that are
 pushed out to subscribers. The idea here is that even
though you have content that’s pushed out to readers,
 you can still monetize that content with ads.

 This is an especially valuable concept for Web site
owners out there who provide complete content in feeds.
Often, a Web site or blog owner will only syndicate a
small portion of his content, specifically because doing
 so forces the readers to come to the Web site
to finish reading the content, which increases the chances
 that those readers will click any ads that are shown
 on the site. Pushing your ads out with your
content gives you one more opportunity to get ads
 in front of readers.


Create dynamiccontent — content that changes frequently.
Have that content pushed out to your readers.

Place ads within the content that remain intact,
 even if the reader doesn’t visit your Web site.

It’s a grand idea, but the program is still in
 beta testing. And the beta testing is closed
 to new users — at least for a little while longer.
 So, even though the AdSense Web site advertises
 AdSense for RSS, you can’t access it.

Creating an account in FeedBurner is easy enough. All you have to do is
1.  Point your Web browser to www.feedburner.com.
 Feedburner’s home page loads on your computer screen.
2.  Click the Register link in the upper-right corner of the page.
 The Create an Account page appears.
3.  Enter the requested information in the Create an Account page and
then click Sign In.
4.  Enter the URL of your blog, podcast, or news feed into the text field
and then click Next.
 A new page appears, giving you some information about your feed.
5.  Read through the information, and then if you want, you can change
the feed title or the feed address. When you’re ready, click Activate
Feed.

Earning with Feed Ads

AdSense for Feeds doesn’t currently have a designation on the AdSense Web
site. In fact, if you’re not specifically searching for the topic, you won’t ever
find it. And it’s not just the information that’s hard to locate. Anything related
to your earnings or the performance of the ads is also non-existent.
At least for now, feed ads are tracked through AdSense for Content. I assume
that will change when the program is finally released for general consumption. At that time, it’s most likely that — like other AdSense programs — feed
ads will have their own sections.
Until then, assigning a channel that’s specific to your feed ads is the best way
to track them. Since the numbers for your ads will be lumped in with AdSense
for Content data, without a designated channel you’ll never know what’s
coming from your Web site or blog and what’s coming from your feed.

Google AdSense offers the same type of service. The difference is that
AdSense offers the ability to refer other programs or Web sites, rather than
just offer the products that you like. For example, I use the Firefox Web
browser, which is a personal preference, but I love it and think everyone who
tries it will love it too. I include an AdSense referral button for Firefox where
space allows on my Web sites.

How ta Starting a Blog-Make Your Blog Work For You

Making money and driving traffic to your blog

To begin, you will create a new Blogger blog;
review and navigate the Dashboard;
 and learn how to create, edit, delete,
and schedule posts. Posts are the
substance of a blog and should be regularly
published, not only to keep your readers
 interestedin following your blog but to
help improve your online ranking.
 Use labels to categorize blog content with adsence
 and allow visitors to quickly find
 what they are looking for.

A Google Search Box can also be added
 to assist visitors in searching your site.
Once your blog is setup, add a personal
 touch by adding a theme, adjusting fonts and colors, and
adding desired gadgets sidebar items,
 as well as learn how to install a custom banner adsense for mobile.

You may customize your blog’s settings Ads placement, such
 as inputting your e-mail address to review comments,
modifying the Blog Description, adding HTML
to put your signature at the end of each new post, or
setting up a custom domain.


It is important to design your blog with your
 audience and purpose in mind, and then incorporate
that into the blog layout, color scheme, and overall functionality.

Furthermore, you’ll learn how to make money
with your blog. One of the most popular methods is
by using Google AdSense. Blogger has a
“Monetize” area of the Dashboard specifically to work with
Google AdSense. Many bloggers also add affiliate
 links to their sidebars where you can make money
from referring others to a service or product you
personally use, like, and recommend.

When you insert images into your Blogger
 blog, they are automatically stored to a
Picasa Web Album.

You may also create and link to additional
 albums. However, when adding an image
 to separate your blog posts, a custom
 banner or background, you may not
 want them added to your gallery and included
with other graphics posted to your blog.
 Instead, we’ll review how to use
Google Sites to store, manage,
and use images.

Creating a Blog

The first step in creating a blog is to create a name.
 Although Blogger allows you to change your blog’s
address once it is setup, it is important to take time
to think about a name before getting started. The
name of your blog should be related to the purpose
 of your blog, whether it’s a personal blog about
yourself in general, goals you have accomplished,
a journey you are on, or a professional blog about a
service or product you provide. If you were blogging
about yourself, you may use your name as the blog
name and therefore part of your blog address.

Earning with AdSense for Mobile

The AdSense way of doing things is pretty
 much the same across all ad formats
 visitor clicks ad, you get money.
 Mobile ads do have onewrinkle
that you haven’t seen in other types
of ads, though, and that’s the Click
to Call link. This link allows visitors
 to click the link and place a call to the
advertiser. It’s a cool feature, but one that
 might leave you wondering how
you’ll get paid for that.

Truth is that this link works just like any other link in an ad. You get paid for
mobile ads whenever your site visitors click the ad links. That includes the
Click to Call link. Like other types of AdSense ads, the amount of payment
is determined by the payments that advertisers make when their ads are
displayed. It’s a formula that Google keeps closely guarded, but it works the
same as AdSense for Content and other types of AdSense. Advertisers bid for
the right to have their ads shown. Then, each time the ad is shown, Google
gets paid whatever that winning bid amount is. In turn, Google then gives
a percentage of what it is paid to you, the Web site owner who publishes
the ad. But how much is the exact percentage? Google is pretty tight-lipped
about it.

You can track your AdSense for Mobile earnings on the Reports page, which
is the first page you encounter when you sign in to your AdSense account.
Included here is a category for AdSense for Mobile Content that shows page
impressions, clicks, click-through-rates, effective cost-per-thousand impressions,
 and earnings. Like other reports, you can show these numbers by day,
week, month, or all the time.

•  Creating a new blog and publishing posts
•  Designing a blog, changing its layout, and installing gadgets
•  Making money and driving traffic to your blog
•  Incorporating social networking tools and search engine optimization tips
•  Using a domain instead of the default “BlogSpot” address
•  Creating a gallery and knowing how and where to store images online
•  Using advanced blog design techniques HTML and CSS and customization
•  Developing an online store using Blogger pages
•  Finding additional help and troubleshooting the most common mistakes 

Mobile Web sites, and by extension mobile ads, aren’t for everyone. You may
not have a Web site that’s appropriate for (or is even of interest to) mobile
surfers. That’s a call you have to make.
If your site does lend itself to the mobile lifestyle, however, consider AdSense
for Mobile. It’s one way to monetize your mobile efforts — and although the
revenues that you generate for mobile ads might not be enough to pay the
mortgage or the payment on that shiny new car you rushed out and bought
when you were approved to display AdSense ads, it might add a little to the
revenue streams that you’re building. In my book, every little bit helps.

As the popularity of blogs grew, so did the popularity of another technology,
called a feedor RSS feed.Both of these terms refer to the same thing. Feeds
are content that is pushed out to registered users who have signed up to
receive them. The content that’s pushed out can be short teasers about blog
posts, news, or podcasts or it can be a complete blog post, news item, or
article.

Adsense-Placing mobile ads to increase earnings

Placement is one problem that you’ll likely
encounter with mobile ads. The format of a
mobile Web site is already so small, so how do
you place ads that catch the attention of mobile
surfers?
My suggestion is to place them near the top of
the page. For example, if you’re setting up your
mobile Web site so that a small logo appears
and then content and links for your page immediately
 display, ads appear between the logo
and the content.

This gets the ads right in front of the mobile
Web site users as quickly as possible to ensure
they don’t navigate away from the page before
your ads are seen.

Another alternative might be to put your ads
at the top of a list of links that appear on your


obile Web page. This integrates the ads into
the links, making them feel a little more natural
on the site. But again, they’re still above the links
so that users have the chance to actually see the
ads before they navigate away from the page.
Ultimately, the perfect placement of your ads
may take some trial-and-error. With any form
of AdSense, don’t take my word — or anyone
else’s for that matter — as gospel. Instead,
begin with my suggestions and test your ads
over a period of time to see where they earn
the most click-throughs for your site. Only thorough
 testing can you really determine what
works and what doesn’t on your specific pages.

AdSense-Social Media Marketing

Social marketing is a relatively new concept
 that’s based on a phenomenon that’s grown
 despite the fact that no marketing experts
saw it coming, and it’s all based on social
networks, such as those brought into being by
MySpace and Facebook.

The idea with social networks is that you
 have an online community where
you can connect and share with people
 who have the same interests that you
do. For some, that might be an interest in
 specific people or hobbies. For others,
the interest could surround employment
 or education.

What’s important is that a social network lets
you create a circle of like-minded friends and
acquaintances — also called a community.


For example, with MySpace, the concept is to
 build a home page where you and your friends
 can connect.

You can also connect with others who are potential friends because they can
view your MySpace page and learn about you and your interests.
If you’re marketing with social networking, create your network, and as you have
something to market, share it with that group of friends in your community.
They then share it with their friends, and before you know it, a network that’s
far beyond the group you could reach on your own knows what you’re doing.
Here’s the catch with social media marketing though: If you develop a social
network specifically to sell something to the people in that network, you’ll fall
right on your face. Really. Social networks are created by people who have
something to share with other people who think like them. If you barge into the
network with a sales pitch and nothing more, you’ll be completely ostracized.
To be truly effective, you have to actually participate in the communities that
you join. That means interacting with people and offering up something that
others can use most of the time without expecting anything in return.
If you really want to see how social media marketing works, check out some
of the organizations that have successful sites on MySpace or Facebook —
Christian bands like Three Days Grace, for example. To get to the point
where a social media marketing strategy is successful requires a lot of effort
and attention, but the results can be very much worth the time you put into
developing your place on the network

AdSense Basics-Potential of AdSense-Ad code blog post

AdSense is an advertising program that
 anyone who publishes a Web site can
use to generate income for  Web site.

 But there’s one small condition 
Google must approve your site before
 ads are shown on your site.
How to make money with google adsense.
Google Adsense Learn how Adsense tips and get tips
 and strategies to  generating more money through Adsense.

A longer explanation is that AdSense is
 an ad-placement program that utilizes
Google’s proprietary search capabilities
 to determine the best placement for
ads that are purchased through the
Google AdWords program.

AdSense is contextual advertising,or ads
 that appear in the context of surrounding
 content. What this means for you is that
 AdSense ads are related to the content
 of the pages on which those ads appear.



The bottom line is that with AdSense,
 you can place ads on your Website that
are targeted to the content of your site.

while creating income is the most likely reason
 that publishers use AdSense, it’s not the only one.
 Some publishers use AdSense as a means of
making their Web site more valuable to site visitors.

Anyone who displays an AdSense ad is considered
a publisher,whereas anyone who purchases
 the ads that are displayed through AdSense is an
advertiser.

Unique visits:A visitor is considered uniquewhen she visits your Web
site the first time during a given period of time. Depending on the
metric— the measurement used to track visitors on your Web site
that’s used, a visitor might be considered unique the first time he visits
your site in a 24-hour period, the first time in a week, or the first time
in an hour. For AdSense, the unique visits measurement is used to help
determine the click-thru rate for ads.

With those hypothetical numbers in place, you can
use this equation to estimate how much you might
 make from your AdSense ads earn on a given day:

unique visits x average CTR x average CPC = potential revenue
so
1,000 x .02x$.25 = $5.00

Using that equation and the hypothetical numbers,you could
estimate that you’d make $5.00 per day, or $150.00 per month.

In some rare cases, you may have heard of AdSense
publishers making $20,000 or more each month.
 Those are rare cases, but it’s possible to build
a decent revenue stream with AdSense if you
manage the use of the ads carefully on sites that
are very well designed.

What is likely is that you might be able to make
enough to cover your Web site hosting or even
 enough to cover your mortgage. AdSense definitely has
the potential. How you manage the program combined
 with how well your site is designed and the amount
of traffic that your site receives determine how
 much you make.

If you’re going to use AdSense, you most definitely want to have some kind of
Web site analytics program. A Web site analytics program tracks the number
of visitors to your site and some of their behaviors while they’re on your site.
You can use a program like AWStats or ClickTracks, but those programs are
nowhere near as easy to use as Google Analytics.

• Your Web site URL:Google will check the site to
 ensure it’s appropriate for ads to be displayed.
• Your Web site language:To ensure that AdSense is available to your
site visitors and that any ads placed are properly targeted to the
main language of your site.
• Type of account:Use this drop-down menu to select whether you’re
creating a personal account or a business account. If the account
is for you, it’s personal, and if you plan to use it as part of a business
 that you own, it’s a business account.
• Country or territory:You do know where you live, don’t you?
• The payee name: This is the name under which you want your
payments issued. If you’re creating a personal account, it should
be your personal name. If you’re creating a business account, it’s
best to use the business name, but you can also use your personal
name if you prefer.
Payments are made electronically or by check, but you set that
information up after you’ve created your AdSense account, so for
now all you need to know is to whom and where payments should
be sent.
• Address and telephone number:Use the address where you would
like to have your payments sent, and be sure to include a working
telephone number in case the good people at AdSense need to
contact you concerning payments.

Instead, AdSense has a testing capability — the AdSense preview tool.It’s a
small application you have to download and add to your computer’s registry,
which allows you to see what the ads look like and how they behave without
having to click your own ads.

Download the preview tool from the
AdSense Help Center at https://www.google.com/adsense/support/.
In the Help Center, search for preview
tool. You should be taken to a search
results page where the top result is a
link to the page from which you can download
the preview tool. The directions
on the page walk you through downloading and
 installing the preview tool.

Site content
Here’s where the program policies begin to get interesting. Okay, not really.
There is rarely anything interesting about program policies. But a lot of meat
is in this section of the program policies, and you should pay close attention
to what’s here.
Google’s requirements for site content are basic: no violent content, no adult
content, nothing related to gambling, and nothing associated with any type of
illegal activities. But that’s not all. Google also frowns on Web sites that are
related to anything that could be construed as controversial.

Google’s Webmaster Guidelines tell you everything you need to know about
what the company expects from the design of a Web site. The document is
pretty complicated, but it can be summed up in one word: simplicity.

Consistency is also a very important factor in improving the traffic to your
Web site. Every day you should be plugging away at your marketing efforts,
in whatever form works best for your site. Web site marketing does require
constant attention, however. Pushing for a short period of time to improve
your traffic but then letting the efforts fall by the wayside does no good.

Everyone seems to be seeking the key to more
 Web site content. In today’s information-driven
society, great, dynamic content is the key. People
 are usually online because they’re looking for
 something — relationships, information,
products, or services. Content is the way
 they find what they’re looking for.

AdSense for Search for revenues

AdSense search box for your Web site

If yours is a site that’s hundreds of pages deep, such a
 search capability forboth the site and the Web is essential.
Even if you have a smaller site though,search is an important
 element. Users may come to your site and find only
part of what they’re looking for.

AdSense for Search gives you the search capabilities
you need, but you haveto use it well. You have to work
through a few things, including figuring out how your revenues
 will be made and what kind of search options will be best
for the visitors who come to your site. You also have to think
 about whetherit’s worth customizing your search box.

When it comes to searches that really turn up results, Google
 is the King of the Hill. A dozen or so other search engines
 are out there, and some of themeven offer search capabilities
 for Web sites and enterprises; but none of them
match the power of Google and none of them have gained
 the confidenceof users like Google has. Google’s known
 for results, and that’s why usingAdSense for Search
 makes so much sense.

If you’ve had a Web site for any amount of time, you’ve
 probably already  discovered that you must have search
capabilities on your site. Whether thosesearch capabilities
 are only for your Web site or are for the entire Web is a
decision that’s best based on the amount of content you
have on your site,but it’s probably no secret to you that
users want search capabilities. In fact,you may have already
 added Google Search to your Web site, using either
Google’s free search capabilities or the Google Custom
Search Engine.


A visitor to your site types a search query into your
AdSense-enabled Google search box in hopes of finding
 something either on the Web as a whole or just on your
Web site. You don’t get paid just because the visitor used
 the search box on your Web site. Instead, you get paid if that
visitor clicks one of the ads in the search results that are
 shown from thesearch box that you put on your page.
It’s a secondary-click revenue stream,which means that,
 with AdSense for Search, the revenues are admittedly a
little harder to get to. Visitors must first use the search box
 and then clickthrough an ad for you to get paid.

Just because it’s not a direct click doesn’t mean you
should ignore thepotential of this AdSense approach.
 The fact is that every site has visitors that won’t find exactly
 what they’re looking for. If they found your site with
a search engine, they’ll likely go back to that search engine
 and refine theirsearch term. If they found your site directly
 and it doesn’t contain what theywant, they’ll probably surf
 away to search for what they want.

Also, if you already have search capabilities on your site,
 visitors who use those capabilities are already seeing the
 ads that are shown in the search results. You’re just not
 getting paid for them. If you have the capability
anyway, you should at least be able to collect revenue
 from increasingGoogle’s confidence level.

AdSense and Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization is a lot

like trying to catch the steam that you
breathe on a cold winter day. You can see it. You know it exists, but there’s
no way to actually contain and quantify the steam. You can see the results
of SEO and you can figure out how best to achieve it, but it’s still possible to
do everything right and not achieve the ultimate goal — landing the very first
listing on a search engine results page, or SERP.
Good news though, you don’t necessarily want to be the very top listing on a
SERP. Think about this — how often do you click the first search result and
not go any farther? Even if you find exactly what you’re looking for on the
first page you jump to, you still click through some of the other results just
to make sure the first page isn’t lying to you.
As a general rule, I go through the listings of about ten results pages, just to
make sure I’m getting the best info. Admittedly, I may be a little more patient
than your average searcher. Most people don’t go much deeper than the
second page of results. Because you should probably be targeting your Web
site to normal folks rather than obsessive-compulsive types like me, you want
your Web site to fall somewhere on the first or second page of results. If it
does, you’re fine — you can count your search marketing efforts a success,
even if your site isn’t at the very tippy-top of the first SERP.

The crawler uses a very lengthy and complicated algorithm as its search
formula. The algorithm compares the number of times a keyword is used to
indicators that tell it if that keyword is important on the Web site. Like color
coding, that algorithm makes it possible to define a Web site in terms of how
it relates to a specific topic.
Algorithmsin general are computer programs that systematically solve problems
 such as determining how many times a keyword is used on a Web site.
They’re complicated creatures, highly technical in nature, and they are a
search engine’s lifeblood — which is why they’re so jealously guarded. Just
try to pry Google’s secret algorithm from their tightly clenched fist and see
where that gets you.
The crawler takes a stab at what your Web site’s all about by registering the
site’s keywords. The crawler then takes another look at the site, this time
considering those keywords in the context of the Web site

Getting the number-one keyword down is like
shooting fish in a barrel, but you can’t stop there. You need a larger pool of
keywords to get you started. If you keep brainstorming additional words,
you’ll probably come up with the following keywords:
Search engine
Search
Marketing
List
Link
Linking strategy
Alt tags
Metatags
Metadata
Media
Content
Social media
That’s just the short list. If you really put some time into brainstorming the
SEO topic, you could come up with a couple hundred words. And don’t forget
phrases, too — up to three words. They’re more useful and help you target
better than just single words.

The CPC,or cost-per-click,is the amount that it costs an advertiser every
time one of their ads based on that keyword is clicked. That amount is
paid to Google, which then distributes portions of the money to AdSense
publishers that allow those ads to be shown on their Web sites. Of
course, Google keeps a fair chunk of it to line its own pockets, too.

Top 10 AdSense Secrets-Getting Started with AdSense

You can tap into that desire for information and use
 AdSense to generate a decent income, but only if you have the
content that draws visitors to your site in the first place.
Your site visitors care about content

You probably already have a Web site to which you want to add AdSense
and that’s a good move. Honestly, any site that’s well designed can probably
benefit from AdSense tips. If you’re just building your site for the first time, you
can do a number of things to optimize your site so that you get the most from
your AdSense investment.


Ease of advertising sales:You could find out which advertisers are
putting their ads on your site and go straight to them to cut a deal for
advertising that would cut Google right out of the picture. But would you
know who to contact? And would you know how to go about convincing
the advertiser to put his ads on your site.
You created your account, waited, and were approved. Now AdSense is
active. Now you can fill that blank space on your Web site with money-
generating ads. But first you have to set up your ads.

Log in to your new AdSense account by using the username and password
that you set up during the registration process. The page that appears at
login is the Reports tab AdSense always opens to this, which features
a quick overview of your earnings and the reports that are available for
AdSense. Because you don’t have any data to be reported.

First and foremost, keep in mind that the layout of your site will dramatically
affect how your AdSense ads perform. 

Smart site design
After you come up with a name for your site and figure out where it’ll be
hosted, it’s time to begin actually designing your Web site. You can deploy a
few strategies that will make it easier to optimize your Web site for AdSense purposes.

 Make your site easy to navigate by creating a consistent navigation
structure across your site and by making that navigational structure
obvious to visitors.Nothing’s worse than getting stuck on a Web page
without a link to the home page or another way off the page without
using your back button or closing your browser completely.
Include relevant links to other Web sites.

Use a site map-a text document that links to every page on the site
and submit it to Google.To submit your site map, you have to be a
member of Google’s Webmaster Central, but signing up for that is as
easy as signing up for any other Google account. After you sign up,
submit your site map by using the form. (You can find links to the forms
as well as other pertinent info at www.google.com/webmasters/
start.

Include clear, relevant content.
Make sure the HTML that makes up your site is written correctly.
Repair broken links as soon as they’re noticed.

Allow crawlers access to your Web site by including a robots.txt file in
the design of your site.The robots.txtfile has two lines:
User agent: *
Disallow: /
Create the file with a text editor, such as Notepad, save it using robots.
txt, and then when you upload your Web site to a server, be sure to
also upload this file.The file tells Web site crawlers that they’re
welcome to look at all the pages on your Web site.

Design your pages for users, not for search engines.Users come to your
site because they need something. Design your site so that the visitors
you’re targeting get exactly what they need — information and products
that they’re searching for. By designing your site with your visitors in
mind, you’ll automatically hit most of the requirements that search engines
have for ranking you in search results. A good rule of thumb is the more
useful your site is to real people, the better crawlers will rank the site.

Avoid any kind of underhanded Web site design, such as using hidden
pages or hidden text that’s only meant to be seen by Web crawlers.
Believe it or not, crawlers recognize this kind of sneaky design, and
you’ll be penalized in search rankings for it.

1.  If you haven’t already done so, log in to your AdSense account.

2.  Click the AdSense Setup tab, immediately to the right of the
Reports tab.

3.On this page, select the type of ad block you want to set up.
 For this example, go ahead and select AdSense for Content.
 The page that appears is the first step in the Ad Wizard, which walks
 you through setting up your ad.
  If you prefer a single-page form instead of using the wizard, click
 the  wizard’s Single Page link. The information you’re asked to enter is the
same, but on the single-page form, you just scroll down the page instead
of clicking a Continue button.

With the ad placement basics out of the way, it’s time to figure out how to
convince the good folks at Google AdSense to place ads on your Web site
that have meaning to your site visitors. Your ultimate goal by implementing
AdSense is to entice visitors to click or view the ads that appear on your
page. That only happens, though, if the ads are appealing to visitors. Having
the right content is the key to having the right ads.

4.Choose your ad type and click Continue.
 Your choices here are
• Ad Units: A graphical text box  inside of which linked ads are displayed.
• Link Units:A set of linked keywords that
lead to advertisers’ pages.
 Just to keep it simple for now, select Ad Unit.

5.In the new page that appears, choose the size of ad you want to have
appear on your Web site.
 Google offers a variety of different shapes, sizes, and types of ad formats.
The format that works best for you depends on the space you
have available, the content of your Web site, and the design of the page
on which the ad appears. For now, select 234 x 60 Half Banner from the
Format drop-down menu.

6.On the same page, choose a color scheme for your ad.
 Google has several pre-made color schemes available in the drop-down
list to the right, or you have the option to specify border, title, background,
text, and URL colors by hexadecimal number.
This is useful if you know the exact hexadecimal numbers of your
Web page design and want to match them.
 For your purposes, select Seaside from the drop-down list.

7.Still on the same page, choose Slightly Rounded Corners from the
Corner Styles drop-down list.
 The other options available here are Squared Corners or Very Rounded
Corners. Visually, each has a different appeal to people in different situations
 and on different Web sites.

8.For the last option on the page, choose Show Public Service Ads from
the drop-down list and click Continue.
 What’s this about public service ads? Well, Google shows public service
ads when your site is so new that it can’t be properly populated with
paid ads and when your site content doesn’t match ad content. You can
choose to have these ads displayed, to have ads from another service
displayed, or to have a solid color displayed as a placeholder if either of
these situations applies.

9.In the new page that appears, click Continue.
 This page of the wizard gives you the option to assign the ad to a channel,
but you have not yet set up channels.channels aren’t an aspect of AdSense
that you need to worry about. They’re for tracking your ads, but before
you can track them you need to know how to create them and get the
highest percentage of clicks possible.

10.In the new and final page that appears, enter a name for your ad unit
in the appropriate field and then click the Save and Get Code button.
 When the page appears, a default name is already filled into the Name
text box.

11.Copy the code provided by AdSense and paste it into the HTML code
of your Web site.
 How you access your HTML code depends on how you got your code in
the first place. If you’re using an HTML Editor/Web Page Creation program
to design your Web site, you may need to dig around the menus to find out
how to get the raw HTML code on-screen. If you’re writing your code from
scratch, though, all you need to do is pull up the Web site code and paste
the ad code into the spot on which you want AdSense ads to appear.

AdSense Basics Tips Lasting

AdSense for your maximum CPC

 With link units, they either work really well or they bomb completely. The
only way to know is to test link units on your site and see how they perform
for you. Try different configurations and locations. If they’re going to work,
you’ll find your sweet spot. All you have to do is watch the change adding up.

All buttons of various sizes
120x240
180x60
468x60
120x60
125x125
110x32

When you’re setting up your referral button ads, you can select up
to 15 different ads to rotate through the referral button. So, if you choose to use a
125x125 square referral button, you can have referrals from up to 15 different
advertisers.

That doesn’t mean you have to choose 15 companies to refer
visitors to. You can select just 1, 5, or 12 if you like — whatever works best
for your site.

 As an added bonus, with referral button ads, you get to choose exactly the
companies that you want to show referrals for. You’re not surprised by an ad
from a competitor or a company you’re not willing to endorse.

Themed ads
Themed units are basically text ads that have a specific theme. Google offers
these around holiday times, and they just appear in your ad structure. You
don’t have to do anything special to use themed units — they’re
 automatically enabled in your ads when you set up your AdSense account.

The AdSense way of doing things is pretty much the same across all ad
formats — visitor clicks ad, you get money. Mobile ads do have onewrinkle
that you haven’t seen in other types of ads, though, and that’s the Click
to Call link. This link allows visitors to click the link and place a call to the
advertiser. It’s a cool feature.

Truth is that this link works just like any other link in an ad. You get paid for
mobile ads whenever your site visitors click the ad links. That includes the
Click to Call link. Like other types of AdSense ads, the amount of payment
is determined by the payments that advertisers make when their ads are
displayed. It’s a formula that Google keeps closely guarded, but it works the
same as AdSense for Content and other types of AdSense

Graphical ads, including button ads, are better
suited for the outer edges of your pages, such
as on the sides, top, or bottom of your site.
Remember that ads on the top right, above the
fold, tend to work best, but with referral ads, you
can move them down the page and even to the
bottom of the page. Referral ads appear more
natural than other types of ads in those locations, so you don’t lose
 as much performance as you might with a different type of ad.

Optimizing Your Site for Search Engines
Search engine optimization is a lot like trying to catch the steam that you
breathe on a cold winter day. You can see it. You know it exists, but there’s
no way to actually contain and quantify the steam. You can see the results
of SEO and you can figure out how best to achieve it, but it’s still possible to
do everything right and not achieve the ultimate goal — landing the very first
listing on a search engine results page, or SERP.

The CPC,or cost-per-click,is the amount that it costs an advertiser every
time one of their ads based on that keyword is clicked. That amount is
paid to Google, which then distributes portions of the money to AdSense
publishers that allow those ads to be shown on their Web sites.

What’s considered a good CTR is a hard figure
to nail down. It’s against Google’s policies for
publishers to publicly discuss the results they
have with the AdSense program. So, despite
the fact that you may have seen discussions
about it on the Internet, you should avoid following suit.
Still, it helps to have a general idea of what you can expect .

Keep in mind that whatever keywords you choose should be used intelligently
on your Web page. If you include the keywords but don’t use them properly,
you’ll do yourself more harm than good by causing inappropriate ads to
appear or by causing Google to disqualify your site from the AdSense program
for not following proper Web design practices.

Several different sizes of vertical link units make it easier to
 integrate them into the sidebars on your Web site. When
you tweak colors with the color pallets provided by Google,
you can make them appear as if they’re an intentional part
of your site design.

Select the channel you want to use to track your ad and then click
Continue. Remember that channels are categories that you create
 so you can keep up with how specific ads perform.

Tools Beyond AdSense for Tracking

 It’s nice to have independent verification
of Google’s numbers and also better analysis tools
 of visitor behavior than the AdSense
reports provide. You now have the option of linking
 your account to Google Analytics.

Monitoring
your performance so you can make changes to make
 more money is a very important part of successfully
 working with AdSense.

Impressions
An ad impressionis recorded each time an AdSense ad
 unit is displayed. A  page impressionis recorded each time a
 web page containing an AdSense ad unit is displayed. A single
 display of a web page containing three ad units would produce
one page impression and three ad impressions.

Clicks
A visitor’s click on an ad on a publisher’s page. Public service ad clicks are not
included in this statistic.

eCPM
Effective CPM eCPM; cost per thousand impressions is calculated by dividing
