How to Add Advertisements to Your iPhone Apps

1. Choose your advertisement platform. Numerous options are available, all of which can be utilized free. Some of the more common platforms include PurpleTalk, Flurry, AdMob and iAd (see Resources).

2. Select the size of your banner. This banner serves as the space upon which your ads are displayed and can be either 320-by-50 pixels or 480-by-32 pixels in size, depending on whether you want your ad aligned horizontally or vertically on the iPhone screen.

3. Use either HTML or a graphical user interface builder program, such as Mac's Interface Builder or Window's Autolt, to move your banner to the ideal location. Although the placement of your advertisement is entirely your choice, Apple recommends that you place it on the bottom of the screen and avoid placing it on any moving elements, such as ScrollView or TableView.

4. Insert the HTML messages 'bannerViewDidLoadAd' and 'didFailToRecieveAdWithError' into the HTML encoding of your iPhone advertisement. This way, when connectivity issues prevent ads from being downloaded to your banner, the banner disappears, thus eliminating ugly and unnecessary blank space from your application's screen.

5. Insert the messages 'bannerViewActionShouldBegin' and 'bannerViewActionDidFinish' into your HTML encoding. This ensures that your application temporarily pauses when your banner is expanded to a full sized advertisement.

6. Launch your app and test the advertisement to make sure that it is operating properly and is desirably positioned.

2. Click on the words 'Create New Site' to begin the process of designing your website.

3.

After you've made your choices, click on 'Create Site.'

4.

Edit your homepage by clicking on the 'Edit Page' button near the top of the screen. When editing your page, you can change the title of the page and the content simply by typing in the boxes. You will edit all of your other web pages within your site the same way.

6.

Link to other websites or to pages within your own website by using the link feature. Simply highlight the text that you want to be the hyperlink and then click the 'Link' button and paste the URL that you'd like to link to.

How to Use HTML Code for Freewebs

1. Navigate to Freewebs.com and click on the 'Sign Up' button at the top of the screen. On the next page, choose a user name and fill in all your personal information. The user name will be included in the URL of your Freewebs website, so be sure to use one that reflects the intended use of the website.

2. Scroll down to the section of the Freewebs page labeled 'Select a Template for your Site.' To the right of that, there is a link reading 'Use Advanced (HTML) Mode'--click that link. Then, input the CAPTCHA words in the graphic box, read the terms of service and click the 'I Agree' button. Then, click 'Create My Site' to continue.

3. Select the Freewebs website hosting package you want on the next screen and click the 'Select' button beneath it. If you intend to pay for the ad-free or advanced hosting, make payment as directed. When done, you will be taken to your personal website account page. To begin creating your website with HTML code, click on the blue 'Edit My Site' button.

4. Create the home page of your Freewebs website by clicking on the 'Edit' button next to the file 'index.htm.' The edit button looks like a paper and pencil. Freewebs provides some basic HTML code to get you started. It is a good idea to open your website in another window or tab to look at while you are working.

5. Change the HTML title tag to the text you want displayed in the browser bar when your website is loaded. This should include the title and description of your website and keywords that people will search for. Within the



tags on the Freewebs edit page, you may input meta tags such as keywords, description and author information. If you are using a cascading style sheet (CSS) to design your website, include the HTML code for it (

is the correct HTML code to include a CSS file). The 'style.css' should be the name of the CSS file itself. If you are using a CSS file for your Freewebs website, you must upload the file to your account.

6. Copy and paste the HTML from a template found on another web design website if you found or bought one you like. If you are not using a template, you must change the HTML code on Freewebs by editing the page files. The web page editor gives you a basic WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) editor at the top of the screen. You can change font size, style, color, make text bold or italics and insert hyperlinks and images with ease.

7. Input your own HTML code using the standard tags and attributes if you do not want to use the WYSIWYG editor. Use and tags for large headings and sub-headings of diminishing size. All basic text paragraphs should be bound by HTML tags. Images can be inserted with the HTML code. All image files must be uploaded to the Freewebs account before including them. Click on the green 'Images' button on the account page and upload the graphic files there.

8. Complete the HTML code for your Freewebs website index file, or home page, and click the 'Save' button at the top left side of the screen. It looks like a small, blue computer disk. The Freewebs account page will load again. If you want more than one page to your website, click the blue 'add a page' link and repeat the steps to create your own website with HTML code.

How to Move AdSense in Drupal

1. Log into your Google AdSense account. Use the AdSense interface to generate AdSense code using whatever parameters you wish.

2. Highlight and copy the code that you have generated.

3. Open your FTP client and log into your Drupal website.

4. Navigate to the directory containing your theme files. In a typical Drupal install, these files are found in the following directory: '/drupal/sites/all/themes'

5. Locate the theme file in which you would like to place your AdSense ad. Save it to your local computer.

6. Open the file using a text editor, such as Notepad or Wordpad. Paste the AdSense code wherever in the theme file you would like it to appear.

7. Log into your FTP client and navigate to your Themes directory again. Upload the updated theme file you just pasted your AdSense code in, replacing the old version you downloaded. Navigate to any page on your Drupal website that uses the theme file you just entered your AdSense code into. The ads should now appear where you placed them.

How to Make Money With Adsense Websites

Build a Web site

1. Determine a purpose or theme for a Web site. Unless you already have a product or service to sell, it may be best to establish a content-based Web site, rather than an e-commerce Web site.

2. Learn about the type of Web site you will be publishing. If publishing a content-based site, all content published on the Web site should revolve around that particular theme or purpose. Selecting a unique theme may help to generate more traffic than a popular theme, as competition for traffic may be less. For example, a Web site focused entirely on blood glucose monitors may generate more traffic than a Web site focused on diabetes, in general.

3. Purchase a URL to use as a Web site address. The URL should, if possible, include relevant keywords or somehow relate to the purpose or theme of the site.

4. Establish a hosting service for the URL. The hosting service will host the files that will be included on the Web site, such as textual content, images, and videos.

5. Build a Web site. Many technically savvy individuals can build their own Web sites from scratch or by using Web site templates, including free Web site templates. Other Web site publishers may need to hire a third party to build the Web site.

Integrate Adsense into the Web site

6. Open an Adsense account, using the Web site URL and your username.

7. Familiarize yourself with the many features offered by Adsense, such as the ability to link Adsense with a Google Analystics account and the ability to block ads from competitors from appearing on your site. Adsense features are updated frequently, so revisit your Adsense account often.

8. Place Adsense blocks into the design of the Web site. Adsense blocks may appear anywhere on the site, including in the many section of the site, in the site header, as banner ads, and on columns.

9. Build a Google Search bar into the site. Anytime someone uses the search feature on the site, the site owner will receive some revenue.

10. Establish an Adsense feature for RSS feeds from the site, such as RSS feeds from blogs.

Develop and market the Web site using keywords

11. Determine relevant keywords and keyword phrases for the Web site. Keywords should relate to the purpose or theme of the site. Use these keywords consistently when creating content for the site and when marketing the site online.

12. Populate the Web site with content. The content of the Web site will drive traffic to the site. Use keywords that are relevant to the theme or purpose of the site.

13. Code the Web site using meta tags and ALT tags, which will be read by search engines. These tags should include keywords that are relevant to the site.

14. Market the site online by submitting it to search engines, creating backlinks to the site from other Web sites, and promoting the site through social media sites. There are many online marketing strategies to employ.

Monitor and grow Adsense Funds

15. Track Web site traffic frequently using Google Analytics and Adsense tools.

16. Watch the money in your Adsense account grow.

17. Request money from your Adsense account through a method such as direct deposit or mailed check.

How to Put a Theme on Google

1. Navigate to iGoogle.com. Click the 'Sign In' link and enter your Google account information to display the main page of iGoogle. If you do not have a Google account, click 'Create an Account Now' and follow the instructions to create an account.

2. Click the 'Change Theme From [Name of Theme]' link in the lower-right corner of the search area. The window will expand to show preview images of the different themes that are available.

3. Click the field next to the 'Search Themes' button and type a search term to search for a theme with a specific color or style. Click the button to search.

4. Click the 'Add It Now' button below a theme's picture to begin using that theme.

How to Make Genuine Money With Google AdSense and ClickBank

1. Sign up as a publisher for Google AdSense and ClickBank. Aspiring Google AdSense publishers may find it challenging to get into the program, especially if they are living in a non English-speaking country. It may take anywhere from days or months to be accepted to (or rejected from) the program. ClickBank's registration process contrasts heavily with AdSense's, because anyone can be accepted almost instantly into the affiliate program.

2. Decide upon products to sell, which is also what the website should be geared toward. ClickBank products about solar powered wind panels don't sell very well on websites about cat food. Google AdSense ads about basket weaving don't pay as much as ads about the newest consumer electronics. For ClickBank, make sure the website is at least a little bit related to products being recommended. For AdSense, ensure the site's keywords translate into high paying clicks.

3. Drive traffic to the website. Generate a lot of traffic (thousands of visitors a day) to see any real results. Unfortunately, conversions for both programs are low. This means there aren't many people who buy or click something in a given number of people. For example, if one person out of a hundred people clicks an advertisement, the conversion rate is 1 percent.

4. Measure results and tweak the website accordingly. If advertisements are doing poorly despite massive amounts of traffic, rearrange them to more visible places on your website. The same goes for ClickBank affiliate links. For example, the 250 by 250 pixel square AdSense advertisement has been proven to perform the best when placed in the top left portion of the website.
