How to Customize Google Adsense

1. Apply to the Google Adsense program by filling out the application form. Afterward, you'll receive an email to verify that your provided email address is accurate. Click on the link in the email to submit the application. You then have to wait for Google to accept your application.

2. Log in to your Google Adsense account.

3. Click on the 'Adsense Setup' tab, and then click on 'Adsense for Content.' Choose the type of ad (the default is a basic ad unit with text and image ads) and click 'Continue.' You'll arrive at the main Adsense customization page.

4. Choose the height and width of your Adsense ad block under the 'Format' drop-down menu. There are options for horizontal, vertical and square ads of many sizes.

5. Choose the color scheme for your ads in the 'Colors' section. Google offers a few pre-made color schemes in the 'Palettes' drop-down menu, although many people like to create their own color scheme to blend the ads in with their own site.

You can choose colors for the border, title, background, text and links of your ads, and whatever you choose is automatically updated on the sample Adsense unit on the left so that you know immediately what a certain color will look like in action.

6. Choose the font for your ads in the 'Fonts' section. Unlike the 'Colors' section, you don't have many choices here: Arial, Times or Verdana. Adsense defaults to Verdana.

7. Choose the corner styles for your ad units in the 'Corner Styles' section. You can choose square corners, slightly rounded corners or very rounded corners.

8. Click 'Continue.' Now that you have your ad unit built, you can create a 'channel' for it (which is Google's way of allowing you to organize your ads in your account so you know which is which). Keep pressing 'Continue' until you reach a button that says 'Submit and Get Code.' Once you press it, Google will provide you with a block of code that you can place on your website to allow the ad unit to appear.

TradeDoubler Vs. Google

Affiliate Networks

Both TradeDoubler and Google offer some form of affiliate network. Google allows website owners and bloggers to put Google AdWords on their sites through the AdSense program. When a visitor clicks on an ad, the advertiser pays for that click. The publisher earns a portion of each click.TradeDoubler uses a different kind of compensation plan for its affiliates. The ads on a publisher site must result in a sale, a lead, traffic or a combination of these results. In other words, you can opt to sell your products through TradeDoubler and pay a commission only when a publisher's visitor buys your product. Each publisher in the network decides which programs to advertise. You need to offer a competitive product and commission structure that entices publishers to promote your offers.

Area of Operations

TradeDoubler offers services to advertisers targeting the European market. At the time of publication, the network can place ads in 18 countries. Google has a wider scope of operations. When advertising with AdWords, you can set your ads to appear in around 200 countries. Both companies provide language and geographical targeting for localized marketing campaigns.

Paying for Ads

With Google AdWords, you sign up and use an online system to bid against other advertisers to have your ads appear in Google search results or on AdSense publisher websites. With TradeDoubler, you call the company and arrange a customized advertising campaign. You set a price with TradeDoubler to run ads through its existing network of publishers. Call 011-353-1-667-0290 to set up a campaign. Publishers can sign up online for free at the Google AdSense home page or the TradeDoubler publisher registration page.

Ad Costs

Ad costs with TradeDoubler vary based on the price you set for commissions or the price agreed to with TradeDoubler for running display ads. With Google AdSense, the price you pay per click depends on what other advertisers are bidding. If advertisers in your niche are bidding too high, it is possible that TradeDoubler could be a better bargain. If advertisers are bidding very low in AdWords for your niche, then Google may give you more advertising for your buck. You can run mock campaigns through AdWords to see estimated results. Use those estimates and your TradeDoubler prices to see which company gives you the better deal.

Publishing Comparison

Each AdSense publisher will find that profits in each niche vary based on the advertiser bids in AdWords. Google does not release the average profit per click. Publishers typically run AdSense ads on their Web pages for a while to determine a rough estimate of profit per click. You then compare that to the offers made by TradeDoubler advertisers for related products or services to determine the better option as a publisher.

How to Broadcast Live From Home

Setting Up the Streaming Account

1. Select a streaming media service, such as Ustream, Livestream or Facebook, for your broadcast. If you want to have a channel with only your broadcast, then Ustream or Livestream are easier to manage.

2. Fill in the details, such as the channel name, show name (if applicable), email address and regular contact details.

3. Write a description of your channel and/or show that tells the audience who you are and why they want to watch the show.

4. Verify the email that will be sent and you are set to start broadcasting.

Setting Up Equipment

5. Plug your video camera or webcam into the computer. This allows the streaming media server to find it.

6. Plug the microphone or mixer into the computer so it can be found.

7. Select 'Allow' when a prompt pops up on the channel page. This should give you a view of what your camera is seeing and microphone is picking up.

8. Adjust the levels on the microphone and placement of the camera for your broadcast. Do this with the headset on. If the headset is picking up your voice, your audience will hear it.

9. Press the 'Record' or 'Live' button and, after a short countdown, you will be on the air.

Helping Your Audience Find the Show

10. Set up the account to send a blast to your social networks whenever you are broadcasting live. This saves time from having to invite people individually.

11. Set up a hashtag for your Twitter followers to talk about the show. It can be something similar to #mediashow. This will allow for all the tweets to be in one place where everyone can follow them.

12. Use the chat feature to engage your audience. Some show hosts use it to field questions from their audience so they know what people want to know. It is also a great spot for your audience members to meet each other.

13. Blog about your show. If your blog is popular, or you want it to be, let people know about the show there. If allowed, embed the video on the blog so people don't have to go to a different page to watch it.
