Where’s The Money? Adsense vs. Affiliate Programs

July 5th, 2009 at 09:34pm Under adsense secrets

The main question I get from my clients when coaching them on building content sites is wether they should use Adsense or affiliate programs. It’s a great question, and one that I haven’t seen addressed often. Hopefully this information will help you in making your decision.

My rule of thumb is always go where the money is, but in making the decision to use Adsense or affiliate programs, there are a few things you should look at. Let’s take a look at those things right now, so you know exactly what you should be putting on your site. Google Adsense or affiliate programs.

First, it will depend on your niche. If there is an affiliate program for your niche that converts well and pays well, then you should take the affiliate program route. I’m sure you would rather make dollars than you would cents, so using an affiliate program in this situation would be your best bet. However, if there isn’t an affiliate program, using a pay-per-click service such as Google Adsense will at least allow you to earn a little money from your content site.

This leads to another question though. How do you tell if the affiliate program you are looking at is a good one or not?

The answer to that question will take some research, but will be well worth your time. The first thing to do is to contact the site owner or affiliate manager and ask what the average conversion rate is for the affiliate program. You could also ask if they have any affiliates that would be willing to email you their experiences with the product. Once you have the answer to that question, visit a few affiliate marketing forums and ask if anyone has promoted the program before or if they have any experience with the owner or affiliate manager of the site. Usually if it’s a bad program, many people will tell you about it.

Now, if you don’t find any affiliate programs for your niche, then I would use Google Adsense or any of the other programs like it. Always check though to make sure you can’t make more money from something else. You don’t want to be making pennies on a site you could be making dollars from. Most of the time Google Adsense just pays pennies per click. So if you got 100 clicks on your Adsense ad, and made say $5, but you got 100 clicks on an affiliate link and made $50, wouldn’t it make more send to use the affiliate link on your site?

Using this as a guide will help you, but you still must test and track what works best for your site. You could put Adsense ads on your site for a few weeks, and then replace them with affiliate links for a few weeks. See what does better, and use the one that makes you more money. Just remember to keep testing and tracking!

5 Profitable No SEO Needed Adsense Techniques

July 4th, 2009 at 03:34am Under adsense secrets

1. Find a topic you can create a two part article on. Write part one of your article and place it on a page on your website. Place Google Adsense ads next to your article. Next you will want to create part two of your article and make sure to make reference to your first article in your second article. Take part two of your article and submit it to ezine publishers, and article directories.

Using this technique, part two of your article will drive traffic to part one of your article. In this way you will profit when someone clicks on your Google Adsense ads when visiting the web page that you have part one of your article on.

2. Create a site that is related to your market that has nothing on it but good quality content about a popular topic in your market. Make sure that you place Google Adsense ads on the site also. You’ll then offer ezine publishers and ad on one of the pages of your site if they’ll mention your site to their subscribers. Make sure they know they’ll benefit by other ezines publishers sending traffic to your site. Their subscribers will be exposed to those ads also. You’ll profit from the earnings you earn by people clicking on your Google Adsense ads.

This technique is profitable for everyone involved. I haven’t seen anyone using it so be a pioneer and watch this technique explode your Google Adsense income!

3. Find a profitable topic and create a 5-10 website about the topic. Make sure to place Google Adsense ads on your website along with the content. Next you will want to create a mini-ebook or report about the topic, and include affiliate links for products and services related to your topic. Take your mini-ebook or report and give it to website owners and ezine publishers who can reach your target market. Allow them to brand the affiliate links in your mini-ebook or report with their own affiliate links. Within your mini-ebook or report, you’ll want to make many references to the website you created for this topic that have your Google Adsense ads on it. Whoever passes this mini-ebook or report around will be driving traffic to your site, and you’ll profit from those that click on your Google Adsense ads.

This technique uses viral marketing which in my opinion is one of the most powerful marketing techniques around. You can get some added exposure by submitting your ebook to ebook directories. Do a search to find ebook directories.

4. Take a couple of articles that you have written, and upload them to your website. Make sure to place your Google Adsense code next to your article. Now take the URL of your articles and place the URL in your signature line in your email or forum signature line.

With this one easy technique, I’ve made up to $46 a day for spending a few minutes putting the URLs into my signature line.

5. Create a mini ecourse on a topic that you know about or do research on a popular topic and create a mini course for it. Take each day of your course and place it on it’s own website. Day one will have it’s own page. Day two will have it’s own page, and so on. Make sure you place Google Adsense ads on each of these pages also.

When people sign up for your ecourse instead of emailing them the content, send them to the website address where the content is. The key to this is putting your Google Adsense ads before the content.

By using this technique you are not only building a subscriber list, but you’ll also profit from people who click on your Google Adsense ads when visiting to read your ecourse.

In the future I will be writing more articles on how to profit with Google Adsense without having to use any SEO techniques. By using the techniques above, you are working smarter and not harder, and that’s really the key to making money with Google Adsense.

How To Make More Money With Google Adsense

July 2nd, 2009 at 09:33am Under adsense secrets

This article will give you several different ways to increase your Adsense income. The first step is to log into your Adsense account and look at your last months states. There are three key areas that contribute to your earnings: Impressions, Clickthroughs and Effective CPM.

Improving your stats in any, or preferably, all of these three key areas will increase your Adsense earnings.

Impressions are the number of times your web pages with Adsense ads have been viewed. You improve impressions by creating more traffic to your web pages.

Here are several ways to increase traffic to your pages:

-create more web pages, with relevant, focused content
-create more links to your web pages
-list your website/s under relevant categories in more directories
-set up a directory of relevant sites on your website and accept relevant reciprocal links
-write relevant articles, with your site information in the ‘resource box’ at the end of each article, and submit them to article directories

Increasing traffic to your adsense websites is the best adsense trick.

The next area that will improve your earnings are increasing your ‘Clickthroughs’.

Clickthroughs are the percentage of viewers who click on your Adsense ads. You can increase Clickthroughs by increasing the relevance of Adsense ads on your site, and by tweaking the format and placing of your ads.

Although you can’t dictate which google.com Adsense ads show on your site, you can influence the relevance of the ads by maintaining a tightly focused website. If every page on your site focuses tightly on the site topic, its more likely that the Adsense ads will too.

For example, if every page of your site is about fishing, and the word ‘fishing’ appears several times on every page, its likely that your Adsense website ads will relate to fishing.

The best way to tweak your ad format and placement is to invest in an Adsense Tracker, and test, test, test! People who have done this tend to suggest that the best format is the large rectangle, with background and border the same color as the page behind it, so that the ad blends into the page.

The best placement is towards the center or top left of the first screen of the page. Try these suggestions first, and then track and test, to be sure of what works best for your pages.

The next way to make money with Adsense income to generate effective CPM.

Effective CPM is a measure of your average earnings, per thousand clicks. You can increase your Effective CPM by selecting topics that attract high bids from Adsense advertisers, and building pages and whole websites on higher paying topics. Look for top paying keyword adsense words to use for your campaigns.

Although Google doesn’t release information on Adsense bids, you can get a good idea of the top paying topics by looking at information on Adwords bids, or, for that matter, bids on pay-per-click search engines like Overture.

There are a number of keyword research tools available, both free and paid, that can help you find high paying topics.

So now you have the basics of increasing your Adsense income. Here is the basic formula:

-Build pages and websites on high paying topics for the best Effective CPM.
-Format and place your Adsense ads for maximum Clickthroughs.
-Promote your sites to drive targeted traffic to your Adsense web pages for maximum impressions.

You can also find some resources about Google Adsense. Get an adsense ebook or join an adsense forum. Increasing your adsense revenue is going to take time and consistent and diligent work. Keep focused and don’t get discouraged. Use these Adsense tips and watch your income grow. God bless you. Jesus loves you.

Adsense Ebook Myth and Adsense Fundamental Requirement!

July 1st, 2009 at 09:34pm Under adsense secrets

Are you one of those who are eager to start an online business? There are many online businesses options available today, but always remember there are also many online business models which are 100% scam. Choosing one online business program from a reputable company is very important. One of the reputable online business model that a person could start is Google adsense which is a program run by Google itself.

However even when the program is from a reputable company such as Google, there are many adsense “gurus” in the internet who have wrote ebooks which claim able to help you make money online overnight. This is totally misleading since adsense is highly dependent on good website with valuable information and high traffic. If you do a search engine query with the word “adsense”, you definitely will see there are many people selling ebooks concerning how to make money online using Google adsense.

The question that one need to ask is, why there are so many ebooks out there and yet almost none of them showing the authors’ high adsense earning websites? Why are they not showing any one of them. I will leave it up to your imagination to wonder why. In reality, Google adsense program need few of these important aspects to generate substantial money:

1. Website topic need to have some commercial value where advertiser will pay to advertise. For example, if your site is explaining about the mating method of squids in Indian Ocean, there are almost no adsense advertisers will be advertising in this topic.

2. Provide valuable content that people are searching in the internet. Even if your website has a generic topic, try to focus on adding more value added content which other websites not mentioning about. This will make your site to be more comprehensive and make Google able to place adsense ads which are more focus to your topic.

3. There are many people focusing on high paying keywords in Google adsense. They will base their websites on topics related to the high paying keywords. Personally, this method is good at the beginning, however keywords could be related to a topic that you may not be interested about, it will be hard to expend your website in the future as you do not have the interest in what you are writing about. Competition also will be stiff.

4. There is no point explaining Click Through Rates (CTR) or even Impression of the adsense ads, if you do not have the large number of visitors to your website. No matter what methods or magical techniques a webmaster uses, but if he/she could not generate enough traffic to the website, adsense revenue will definitely not increase. Traffic is the blood that fuels any website. Without enough traffic, adsense will not be able to generate the income. With enough traffic, one will notice CTR and Impression will increase too.

5. Google adsense ads and the website should have organic match or in other words optimized. This means the ads that appear should look as part of the website. Visitor should feel that they are looking at the website content even when they are actually looking at the adsense ads. This could be done by matching ad color, positioning , size and frequency. If this organic matching technique is properly done and combine with high volume of traffic, it could explode ones adsense’s income.

Understanding Google adsense fundamental requirements are very important, and one should always know that they need to put in the effort in building their website before they could actually start making money online with Google adsense.

Newbie Adsense Tip: the Hidden Secret Gurus Do not Talk About

June 19th, 2009 at 09:34am Under adsense secrets

Here’s why you should read this article now (and I could not be more serious):

The AdSense secret you are about to learn has the power to change your entire life.

And it will definitely change your perception that making money online is a scam or hard to achieve.

Here’s why:

You are probably already aware that in today’s Internet world, the so-called online marketing Gurus do almost anything to get your attention – they slam their products in your face just to get your hard earned money, and then they leave you empty-handed.

This has got to stop. You might even have muttered this out loud while sitting in front of your computer. I confess that I’ve done this myself. Believe me, if you have had such feelings, you are not alone.

Way back in 1999 when I started online I was almost in the same position like you probably are now, if not even worse.

I started with nothing, from ground zero. No site, domain name, credit card, paypal, hosting account or autoresponder. And you know how important these tools and services are in building a highly-profitable business.

You might be sitting there wondering how I managed to succeed against all odds? And you might even be asking yourself, “How can I make money online without spending a fortune?”

Let me tell you, it was not that easy in the beginning. I only succeeded because I had sheer determination and perseverance. But this article is not about me, it is about the AdSense secret that gurus are hiding from you.

Like I said in the intro, this secret has the power to change your entire life and business.

Would you agree with me if I say that the Internet is the only place on earth where you can truly market every day with no money – or very little – if you know how?

What is so interesting about the Google secret is that once you find out what it is, you will hit yourself in the head for not discovering it sooner.

To be honest with you, it is not your fault that you have not found out about the AdSense secret sooner. Stay alert because in less than seven seconds the Google profit vault will open and you will understand what this secret is all about and how it can totally change your life and eBusiness.

Does financial freedom ring a bell?

The Google AdSense money-making method which is so powerful that Gurus keep it as their most closely guarded secret is this:

Making money online with AdSense is extremely easy, anybody can do it, and the best part is that you could do it, too, at no cost whatsoever. I’m living proof that this is possible.

What does all this mean to you?

You can start from ZERO, with practically nothing; without any prior experience, without any paid tools or services, and yet make money virtually within days (Google approves new AdSense accounts in 72 hours or less).

And remember the most exciting part of all this: the so-called Gurus will no longer have the advantage, and they will not be happy about this. You will have the ability to crash what had been their private money-making party.

So what’s this got to do with you?

Just think about it. You will not have to buy their “hyped” products anymore or their fancy software tools “guaranteed” to build 100+ sites on auto-pilot in less than an hour. What a joke!

You will not have to throw your limited funds on their “lousy” high-paying AdSense keywords promising you to reveal little-known $30/click key terms. What a relief!

This is the end of Gurus’ supremacy and the start of your Internet marketing success. All you have to do is focus on the free tools out there. Google itself provides a free site builder tool and everything you need to know to get started with AdSense and make money within days.

I have to admit that making money online has never been easier.

Apply for an AdSense account today and start making real cash. It really is this simple: you bank the profits while the Gurus lose their control over you and your wallet.

Click Happy Adsense Keywords Exposed

June 19th, 2009 at 09:31am Under adsense keywords

Many people sell expensive lists of keywords that are supposed to make you tons of cash for each click. Before you run out and buy one of those keyword lists, I want to ask you a question.

Would you rather buy a list of keywords that pays you $25 per click, but only get you 1 click a day ($25 profit per day), or would you rather get a free list of click happy keywords that you can easily find yourself and get paid $4 a click, but get 50 clicks a day ($200 profit per day)?

Of course you want the click happy keyword list. Anyone would pick $200 a day profit over $25 a day profit! So, exactly what is a click happy keyword?

A click happy keyword is a keyword that will cause someone to click based on emotions that that keyword causes. Emotions like fear, anger, greed, disgust, sadness, and more are all emotions that will drive people to click like crazy. People look for answers when they feel an emotion.

When an over weight person is made fun of, and they go home to their computer and look for a weight loss solution, they go to their favorite search engine, and start clicking.

When a child comes home with lice a panicked mother will jump online and try to find a quick solution to get rid of the lice on her child. She will become click happy in her panic to find some instant solution.

By finding click happy keywords and building your site around them, you can tap into these click happy people. You can take a keyword that only pays you $4 a click, and make it make you more money than any other keyword you would get off of some list of high paying keywords.

Finding these click happy keywords is super easy and will take you no time. I simply open up my favorite keyword research tool, and type in some of the following words.

Easy
Quick
Create
Prevent
Fix
Relief
Instant

There are literally hundreds of these words. Now I’d take one of these words, and plug it in to my keyword research software. For example, when I do research for the keyword prevent I see a good click happy keyword phrase which is “prevent hangover”.

If you’ve ever had a bad hangover, you know that you would do anything to get rid of it. Don’t you think that someone suffering from a hangover wants the prevention fast and is going to click like crazy until they find their answer? Of course they are, and that’s why finding these click happy keywords is so profitable.

The key to really using the power of click happy keywords is to make sure that you only provide enough content on your site to send these click happy visitors clicking off your site via one of your Adsense ads or affiliate links. You then make these click happy visitors profitable to you.

Start searching today for these click happy keywords, and you’ll never again have to worry about spending a lot of money on those high paying keyword lists that will keep you making less money.

Make Money With Adsense – Adsense Secret for Everyone

When you want to make money with AdSense, even if you are a newbie at the program, you will be surprised and excited to learn about the adsense secret that can be used to make money on the internet using AdSense. Google instituted the ad revenue sharing program in 2003 and many web site owners have taken advantage of the simplicity of the program in order to generate passive income for their web sites.  A simple bit of code is placed on the web site that generates links to other sites where a product or service is marketed. When the link is clicked, the web site owner receives a payment from the advertiser.

 

Follow the rules

 

To make money with AdSense, you must be certain that you read and understand the policies and rules as set up by Google and described in the agreement that you signed when you registered your AdSense account.  The policies limit the type of sites where you can place AdSense ads, for instance. You must focus your web site on the keyword rich content, rather than on the ads themselves.  That is what Google wants to see in the AdSense web sites. It is up to the web site owner to apply the rules correctly.

 

How it Works

 

Once you have set up your Google AdSense account, you can add the code to any blog, web site or forum that you run.  The account is tied to the web site owner so that you don’t need to reapply when you open another site.  Just be certain that each of your sites complies with the AdSense policies.  To make money with AdSense, you should concentrate on improving the content of your own web site so that more people are drawn to your site and appreciate the information and content that they find there.

 

Customize the Ads

 

Your next step to make money with AdSense is to decide on the style and format of the ads that are placed.  Many marketing studies show that the size, placement, color and general theme of the ads can make a great deal of difference when you are preparing your ads.  Use any or all of the recommendations that can be found in the quality tutorials that are available on the subject of AdSense. You can use Google Adsense ads in conjunction with affiliate ads to add relevant content and a more organic feel to your web pages.

 

AdSense with Blogs

 

You can make money with AdSense very effectively by using blogs.  Since people expect to find a wide variety of relevant information about the product niche when they go to a blog, they also are more likely to click on one or more of the AdSense ads found on the blogs. There is even software to help web site owners place AdSense ads directly into their blogs.  Because the AdSense ads are fully customizable they are more likely to blend with the theme and appearance of the web site or blog.

Make Money With Adsense – How to Maximize Your Profit Adsense Secret Revealed

June 14th, 2009 at 09:33pm Under adsense secrets

There are many legitimate ways that you can make money with AdSense.  It is important that you comply with all the rules and policies set out by Google AdSense administration.  If you don’t follow the rules, Google can refuse to allow AdSense ads on your web site or blog. On the other hand, using Google AdSense can allow you to earn a tidy passive income from your web site. You can learn about some of the Adsense secret factors that help to make an AdSense ad profitable by reviewing one of the excellent tutorials or e-books that are available on the subject of AdSense income.

Ad Size

The ads that allow you to make money with AdSense come in many different sizes.  They are usually expressed in pixels.  They are given titles such as a half banner, wide skyscraper, small square and large rectangle among others.  The ad should be of a size that will not overpower the content on the web site.  It should not be placed on an otherwise blank page, since that is less likely to result in clicks onto the ad.  There is nothing other than the ad to pull the visitor onto the site.  It is much better to use a small ad with plenty of surrounding content to bring visitors to the web site.

Ad Color

The ad color is another adsense secret factor that helps you to make money with AdSense.  The ad should be prepared in colors that blend with the colors already on your web page.  The most effective AdSense Ad will be placed on a white or light background rather than on a dark background. Depending upon the product or service that you are selling, the color choice can make a huge difference in the volume of interest and revenue received from the web site.

Ad Location

Generally, the information or ads on the upper left side of the web page are those that are most prominent to the eye of the web page visitor. Keep this in mind when you are designing your web page and deciding on the placement of the AdSense ad. If you make certain that the visitor doesn’t have to scroll down the page in order to see the AdSense ad, you will increase your sales significantly with this adsense secret.  The content on your web page is what the visitor to your site should see first, but it is also helpful to have the ad easily visible to the visitor.

Ad Blocks

Here is another adsense secret. If you want to avoid placing AdSense ads promoting a competitor’s site on your web page, you can take advantage of the ability to block ads by use of the Competitive Ad Filter feature. You will need to know the URL associated with the site you are attempting to block.  You can make money with AdSense by taking advantage of the tools and filters that are available to you as a web site owner. This keeps you in compliance with the rules and regulations and ads to your revenue level. 

Four Ways To Use The Adsense Secret For Improved Income

June 14th, 2009 at 03:33am Under adsense secrets

The Adsense secret is really not much of a secret at all.  It is the placement of words that link to a business web site online in order to direct additional traffic to the products or services of the target web site. Because the concept of paying to view ads is a proven method of gaining revenue from a web site, it makes good sense to take advantage of the possibilities. Keep the program rules in mind so that your business stays within the guidelines to avoid possible shutdown due to nonconformance. Use the common sense approach and you will be guaranteed to end up with more income with minimal work.

Common Sense

When you are applying the Adsense secret as a way to increase revenue to your web site or as a separate business to boost your part time or full time income, the primary factor to remember is to use common sense in setting up your campaigns and designing the applicable web sites to display the adwords. Never set up a web site with the idea of just filling the space with advertisements.  The administrators of Adsense will quickly eliminate the use of the website for their program.

Passive Income

The Adsense secret allows you to add substantial passive income to an already existing web site.  When you place adwords on your web site, the revenue from these words can be a nice addition to the product or service sales that you earn from the site. It’s important to stay on subject with your adwords campaigns because it is expected that you will select adwords that are related to a subject in which you are knowledgeable. The information that you use to display the adwords is data that would be a part of your web site anyway. The more interesting your web site is, the more opportunities you have to increase passive income.

Consultant

One of the benefits of using the Adsense secret is that you can market your services as a marketing consultant. This may be a matter of semantics, but by doing the needed research in how to find the right keywords for your clients and developing web sites that showcase the keywords appropriately, you can honestly present yourself as a professional consultant in the field of marketing. This can be a profitable addition to your regular product income and one which requires very little additional effort on your part.

Traffic Flow

Use the Adsense secret to improve the traffic flow to your web site. Using adwords in their proper context will improve your page ranking because you are providing the type of information desired by searchers on the internet. Furthermore, the information is presented as a completely natural extension of the information you would place on the web site anyway. The use of appropriate search engine optimization techniques will improve your page ranking and so will draw in even higher traffic counts to your web site. This secret is just a matter of using the Adsense techniques effectively on your own web site.
