How to Estimate AdSense ECPM



1. Open your Internet browser and access the AdSense website. Use your login and password to enter your account to collect the necessary data needed for the calculation. Under the 'Overview' tab, locate the section called 'AdSense for Content' and look to the right. The number to the right represents the information for your entire account. If you click on the clickable text link labeled, 'Top Channels,' this will show you the top advertisement channels (websites) which are making you money. Note down the number of page impressions under the 'Page impressions' header, along with the earnings under the 'Estimated Earnings.'

2. Compare revenue across different channels and advertising programs. Effective cost-per-thousand impressions (eCPM) is a useful way of doing this. Essentially, effective CPM represents your estimated earnings for every 1,000 impressions you receive. You may use the averages of your entire AdSense account, or the numbers from a specific channel, depending on your needs.

3. Divide your earning by the page impressions and multiply that amount by a 1,000 to get your eCPM. If you have estimated earnings of $90 and 20,000 page impressions, the eCPM would amount to -- ($90 / 20,000) * 1,000 -- or $4.50.

How to Add Music to Google Page Websites



1. Log in and access your Google page. If you don't have a Google account, sign up for one for free.

2. Click on the 'Edit Page Code' button. This is the HTML code for your Google page. This is the area where you add music to your page.

3. Select the music you want to add to your Google page. Find the music online so you can use their source code on your website for direct music links. Some sites to search for music are MySpace, Imeen and Yahoo Music (see Resources below). The source code is listed on the sites in a box marked 'Source Code.'

4. Copy and paste the embedded music code from the source website to your Google page (in the Edit Page Code window from step 2). There are three basic types of embedded code. If the embedded code says 'Auto start = true' then the song plays when the page opens. The next type is a music player that begins when you press 'Start.' The third type is a multiple-song player that lists various songs and plays them in order when you press the 'Start' or 'Play' button.

5. Click 'Save' to save the music to your Google website. Click 'Preview' or 'View' to test the music player.

How to Promote Disability Awareness

2. Look to other organizations for information related to diversity and disability awareness.

NOD provides guidance to organizations in developing inclusive policies and practices.

3. Require appropriate training for your staff. Ensure that your human resources office can adequately handle disability-related matters, from providing reasonable accommodations to managing intermittent leave. Guide your supervisors to refer employees who discuss their own disability to human resources and to maintain confidentiality.

5. Provide employees with formal updates on your company policy related to disability.

Google Adsense Ad Types



Content Ads

Website masters and publishers can insert AdSense code within the content of a website or blog to display ads based on the site's content. The more targeted and centrally focused the content, the better targeted the ad. You can choose between several different ad sizes and shapes, customize the colors and fonts, and even select what you want to appear if a relevant ad is not available.

Domain Ads

This allows you to use an unused domain with no content for AdSense. Instead of leaving the site blank with an under construction sign or an error, the site virtually becomes one huge ad list. The ads relate to the domain name only as there is no content on the site.

Feed Ads

This type of ad appears when you have AdSense ads show up in the RSS feeds of your blog. RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication' and allows someone to subscribe to a website's updates. It is within that update feed that publishers can insert code for AdSense ads.

Mobile Content Ads

These are ads particularly designed for mobile content, or mobile-only websites. Now that many more people are accessing websites via their mobile phones, many businesses, non-profits, etc. are building parallel sites for phones. These are sites specifically designed for compatibility with the programs and software (or lack thereof) of mobile phones. Obviously, you can only take advantage of this ad type if you have a mobile-only website.

Mobile Application Ads

With the influx of Smart Phones and the thousands of applications, or apps, that run them, Google has introduced AdSense for apps. It is now in beta for free apps only and for Android or iPhone. In October 2010, one must meet Google's requirements, apply and receive approval to use this.

Search Ads

Another way to display Google AdSense is by adding a Google search tool on your website or blog. Use of the Google search tool will pull up relevant posts on your own blog as well as Google search results--and the AdSense ads.
