How to Find My Adsense Websites on Google
1. Launch your Web browser and access the Google Adsense account log-in page (see Resources).
2. Enter your Adsense username and password and click 'Sign In.' This opens the 'Reports' page of the Adsense account by default.
3. Copy the Publisher ID number at the top right of the page. Do this by highlighting the text that starts with 'pub-' along with the following 16 digits, and then pressing 'Ctrl' and 'C' on the keyboard.
4. Access the Google search engine on your Web browser.
5. Paste the copied publisher ID number into the search box. Place quotation marks around the pasted text to ensure only this exact text is searched.
6. Click 'Search' and wait for the search engine to return the results. Because each publisher ID is unique, the search engine returns only the websites containing this code.
7. Copy the website address of each of the sites found by the search engine.
How to Make a Free Website With Freewebs
1. Register at freewebs (see link in Resources below) and get started.
2. Pick a template for your site. There are about 300 templates available.
3. Decide which types of pages you want to add to the site. Options include: pages, albums, forms, blogs, forums, profiles and guest book.
4. When you have a few pages completed, you can add links or a navbar to each of them, and specify a homepage.
5. Everything is editable. You can edit existing pages and even change your template.
6. The tools include options to add content, images, multimedia, links and widgets (numerous widgets are provided). You can format text for font and size, create lists, set alignment and do the usual text editing such as copy and paste within your content.
7. The widgets you can add include maps, games, RSS feeds and a personalized chat room from Meebo.
8. Add your own video, or embed video from sources like YouTube.
9. While in freewebs, edit photos online with Picnik, an online photo editing tool that helps you crop, color, resize, rotate, adjust colors and more.
10. Interactive options you can add include blogs and forums. The Profiles at freewebs are also interactive. In the Profile page, you and your users can leave comments, add friends and send messages.
11. Add online payment tools from PayPal.
12. There are a number of premium packeges for a fee. This would buy you your own domain name and get you some email accounts to go with it. If you stick with the free services and don't buy a domain, your URL will be something like freewebs.com/yoursite.
How to Move Joomla Posts to WordPress
1. Log in to your WordPress admin control panel. From the large menu bar on the left, click 'Plugins,' and then 'Add New.' Type 'Joomla/Mambo To WordPress Migrator' into the search box, and then click the 'Search Plugins' button. When the search has completed, find 'Joomla/Mambo To WordPress Migrator' in the results list, click 'Install Now,' wait for the plugin to install, and then click the 'Activate' link when prompted.
2. Sign in to the root FTP account. Navigate to your Joomla installation, and then copy the folder called 'Images' to your computer. Then navigate to your WordPress installation, and go to 'wp-content' ' 'Plugins' ' 'Joomla-to-wordpress-migrator.' Upload the 'Images' folder you just downloaded to this location, selecting the option to overwrite any files if prompted by the FTP program.
3. Go back to your WordPress admin control panel. From the menu on the left, click 'Joomla2WP,' and then 'Settings.' You will see a number of text fields. Enter the user name and password for the MySQL server in the relevant boxes near the top. Underneath this are fields for your WordPress and Joomla user names and passwords -- fill these in too. Finally, a number of fields ask for certain URLs -- fill these out to give the plugin the locations of your Joomla and Wordpress sites, and the image folders for each. For Joomla, this is usually yoursitelocation/images. For WordPress, this is usually yoursitelocation/wp-content/uploads.
4. Click 'Migration' from the main menu on the left. Click the 'Start Migration' button. Depending on the size of your site, this process might take a few minutes. When it is done, click the 'Change URLs' button. This changes the URLs in your posts so that they point to posts an images on the WordPress installation instead of the Joomla site. Again, this may take a little while if you have a lot of posts.

How to Buy Google Ads by City
Set Up Campaign
When you register with Google Adwords you will create your ad immediately. Prepare your first ad and have it ready when you register.
Choose Geography
Choose the geographical location where you want the ad to appear. In this case you will specify one or two cities where you want your ad to show. Click on the map that appears to choose the cities where you want to advertise.
Considerations
Selecting individual cities is important when your product or service is for local area residents. Since you pay every time someone clicks on your ad, money spent on clicks from traffic outside your local area will be wasted. Local businesses that have their own websites, such as a retail store or a plumber, are perfect for this type of advertising, because potential customers in your area will click on your ad and immediately get more information about you and your products or services.
How to Change Your Verification Email for Google Accounts
1. Sign in to your Google account via the Google Accounts homepage. If you are already signed in when you visit Google, click the drop-down arrow next to your email address in the top right hand corner. Choose Account Settings.
2. Click on 'Change Email' in the 'Security' section. Type in your new email address. Retype your password.
3. Press the 'Save Email Address' button. Check the email associated with your new address.
4. Open the email from Google with the subject line 'Google Accounts: Email Change Verification.' Click on the 'Verification Link' within the email. A message displays that your email address has been changed. You can now use this email address to sign in to your Google account. Your password will remain the same unless you change it.
How to Get Paid to Advertise on the Internet
Affiliate Marketing
1. Choose an affiliate network and sign up for a free account. Some of the most popular affiliate networks include ClickBank, Amazon Associates and Commission Junction. These are sites completely dedicated to connecting businesses with independent affiliate marketers so sales can be made.
2. Choose a product or service to promote. Affiliate networks often include hundreds of products or services for affiliates to choose. You may have better luck choosing to promote something that interests you or something that you are very knowledgeable about already. For example, if you have auto mechanic experience, you may wish to advertise car parts from the Amazon Associates program.
3. Establish an advertising method. On the Internet, you can advertise products and services by building your own website, placing paid advertisements on ad networks, developing a social media campaign or even by sending out an email offer to an email list. Sticking with one advertising method is often easier than adopting several at once.
4. Focus on expanding your traffic, subscribers, leads or clickthrough rates. The more eyeballs you have on your advertisement with your personal affiliate link, the more likely you are to make a sale. Spend time creating content or reaching out to people online in your niche. A good advertising campaign takes time, and most affiliates don’t start earning money right away.
5. Collect commissions from any sales. If you make a sale, your affiliate network account will show the commission you earned. Depending on the network you’re with, you may receive payment by PayPal, by mailed check or by another method. If you are able to increase the amount of sales over time, many affiliate networks reward performance by increasing commission rates.
Ad Networks
6. Choose an ad network and sign up for a free account. The most popular ad network on the Internet at the time of publication is Google Adsense.
7. Fetch the code for the text or image ads to place on your website. When it comes to using ad networks, you usually need to own the website you place the ads on. Alternatively, some people who provide content for a site split ad income with the site owners.
8. Place the code to show in the header, sidebar, footer or main content of the site. The goal is to get visitors to click on the ads so you get paid.
9. Work on increasing traffic and page views to the site. You can do this by creating great content on a regular basis and ranking in Google for popular search terms.
10. Collect your earnings. It can take time to get paid with ad networks, since you’ll often only earn a few cents to a couple of dollars per click. Your ad network will notify you when you’ve acquired enough clicks and earned enough money to get paid.
