How to Make Money from Pay Per Click



1. Decide on an advertiser. Google Adsense is probably the most common method of earning money from pay per click but there are others through Yahoo as well as Chitka, Microsoft Ad Center, Kontera and Infolinks. Rates vary by provider. Ads are placed through a snippet of code on your webpage. The code uses the words on your page to display ads automatically. Ad selection and relation to those keywords vary by advertiser. The closer the ads are to the content of the webpage, the higher the clickthrough ratio.

2. Choose a niche that earns a reasonable amount per click. Go to Google Adsense Keyword Traffic Estimator tool. Search for keyword phrases that relate to your niche. You can find out what phrases have the higher pay rate. For example, 'dog food' pays about $3 per click, while 'get rid of credit card debt' pays double that and 'budget golf' pays less than $1. Many people on the Internet are searching for the solution to a problem such as getting rid of credit card debt, losing weight, quitting smoking and getting rid of acne. Profitable pay per click niches address those problems by providing content related to getting rid of the problem. When the visitor wants more information, the hope is they'll click on an ad.

3. Set up a blog or website using your keyword phrase as the domain of the site. If you don't want to get involved with your own hosted site, use a free blog such as blogger.com or sites that share revenue, such as Hubspot.com or Busika.com. Be warned that some sites only use Google Adsense, you won't have a choice of advertiser. Post to your blog or website using various keyword phrases as the title of the blog posts. Include the keyword phrase once in every paragraph of about 100 words.

4. Drive traffic to your blog or website. Target the traffic, so the visitors who come already have an interest in finding the solution to their problem. Visit and participate in forums and discussion boards with a link to your blog in your signature. Write articles related to your blog and post them online with a link to your blog. Someone reading the article will be enticed to visit your blog and then click on a link.

How to Set Up Google Adsense



1. Create a blog or website if you don't already have one. Make sure you have some good content on the site and that all of your links are working before you apply for a Google Adsense account.

2. Go to the Google Adsense application page (see Resources). Fill out the application. You will need to include information about the website or blog that you want the ads on.

3. Click on the link in the confirmation email that Google will send you once you submit your application. Then you will need to wait until Google approves or denies your application.

4. Log in to your Google Adsense account as soon as you are approved. There you will be able to choose the size of your ads, text color and background color. Make sure you choose the colors that will match your website or blog.

5. Copy the code provided to you once you have customized the ads you want. Paste the code in to your blog or website template based on where you want the ads placed (side bar, top of the page, bottom of the page). You may need to understand some HTML to do this depending on the type of blog or website you have.

6. Save your changes and view your website or blog. Don't be scared if public service announcement ads show up on your site. These are displayed for a day or two until Google crawls your site and determines what the appropriate ads should be. You won't start making money until the customized ads begin appearing, but it won't take long.

Why Has My Google Mail Been Disabled?



Using POP Or IMAP

Mail software programs such as Outlook and Apple Mail use protocols called POP and IMAP to download messages from Internet email accounts. If you download, receive or delete large amounts of mail in a short period of time with one of these programs, this can appear to Google like someone is using your account for illicit activity like sending spam. You know that this is the case if you receive the error message 'Lockdown in Sector 4.' Wait for about 24 hours, and you should be able to access your account again.

Multiple Undeliverable Messages

If you are sending many messages that bounce back to you, this can appear to Google like someone is trying to send spam from your account. Google may reinstate your account after reviewing your activity, or it may be permanently disabled if you are violating Gmail Terms of Use.

Suspicious Programs, Extensions And Behavior

File-sharing or file-storing software, third party software and browser extensions that automatically log in to your Gmail account can look suspicious because it may appear like an automated program is using your account for illicit purposes. You might also accidentally disable your account for the same reason if you have Gmail open in multiple windows at once. If you are not engaging in suspicious activity, account access should be restored within 24 hours.

Browser Problems

It is possible that you are not experiences problems with Gmail itself but your browser is unable to access your account. If it repeatedly reloads when you try to access your account, the problem is with the browser. To address this problem, install any updates from your browser's manufacturer, and clear your cache and cookies. If you are not sure how to do this, refer to 'Help' or 'Support' from your browser. If all else fails, try accessing your account with a different browser.

Account Compromised

It is possible that someone is using your account without your permission to perform illicit activities. If this is the case, Google can reinstate your access to your account by helping you reset your password.

Policy Violation

Google may permanently disable your account if you did, in fact, violate Gmail Terms of Use. If you did not violate the Terms of Use and believe that your account was disabled by mistake, contact Google for assistance.

How To Make Money Per Hit on a Website



1. Sign up for a pay-per-hit or 'CPM' ad network. (CPM refers to 'cost per mille,' or the rate you'll receive per 1,000 ad views.) Items to consider include the rate paid per 1,000 views and the minimum income necessary to earn before you'll be paid. Consult the ProBlogger link in the Resources section below for a list of 12 CPM providers that will serve up advertising on your site just like Google Adsense.

2. Decide where you'd like to add CPM advertising on your website. If you already have successful banner ads, affiliate links or pay-per-click ads on your site, you may not to displace them for (generally) lower-paying CPM ads. However, CPM ads can be an easy addition to an established website or a simply way to start advertising on your website from the very first day.

3. Add the CPM provider's html code to your website in the appropriate places in your code. Your ad provider will provide the necessary coding to automatically pull ads from their database onto your site--simply follow their installation instructions to display your new ads in the intended places on your site.

4. Log into your CPM network account periodically to track how your advertising is performing. Of course, the more visitors you have, the more your ads will be viewed, and the greater pay-per-hit income you'll make.

How to Add Ads to My Web Page



1. Make sure your web host will let you put ads on the page. Some free web hosting providers already have their own ads on the page or will not allow you to put Javascript on the page. If you can’t put ads on your existing web page, you will need to switch to another web hosting provider.

2. Join an advertising program. Write down your username and password; you will need them each time you sign in to the program website.

3. Log into the advertising program website and set up your account. Read the support pages to learn how to generate HTML code for ads and to select the types and sizes of ads you want to display on your web page.

4. Generate and copy the HTML code for an ad or ad group. You can copy the code by selecting the code and then choosing “Copy” from the 'Edit' menu of your web browser.

5. Open your web page in an HTML editor. Paste the copied HTML code into your web page at the place you want the ad to appear. You can control the position and appearance of the ads on your web page. Paste in the copied code by selecting “Paste” from the 'Edit' menu of your HTML editor. Save the file when you finish making changes.

6. Upload the web page to your web hosting account. View the page online to make sure the ads appear correctly. If they don’t, revise the HTML code, save the file and upload it again.
