How to Add Google AdSense to Joomla
Create a Google AdSense account
1. Navigate to the Google AdSense application page (see Resources). Enter your website URL, making sure that the address is the primary domain.
2. Choose a language. Agree to not run ads that include incentives to click them or pornographic content by clicking on the two corresponding check boxes. Select an account type, whether business or individual, and your country or territory.
3. Enter your name or your business name, which should match the name on the bank account you'll use. If using a business account, enter a contact name corresponding to the address you enter below it. Enter a telephone number.
4. Click four required check boxes: agreeing that the payee name you entered can receive checks, agreeing that you will not click your own AdSense ads, certifying that you've read the program policies and certifying that you do not already have an approved AdSense account. There is an optional box you can check to receive or limit periodic newsletters. Answer how you found out about AdSense from the drop-down menu.
5. Click 'Submit Information' at the bottom of the application and check the information you entered on the next page. Choose to use an existing Google account or create a new log-in and click 'Continue.' You'll have to wait one or two days while Google reviews your application.
Download and Install the Add-on
6. Choose an AdSense Add-on from Joomla's extension search (see Resources). As of August 2010, high-rated options compatible with Joomla 1.5 include 'Phoca Google AdSense Easy,' 'CB Adsense Plugin with Revenue Sharing,' 'GoogleAds plugin,' 'Adsense Inserter' and 'Google Adsense SiteSearch for Joomla 1.5.'
7. Download the add-on by clicking the link in the search list and clicking 'Download' on the resulting page. The download should start automatically. If it doesn't, click the link corresponding to the version of Joomla you're using, 1.0 or 1.5. Save the file.
8. Log on as an administrator to your Joomla site. Under 'Extensions' click 'Install/Uninstall.' In the box for 'Package File,' browse for the add-on you just downloaded. Click 'Upload File & Install.'
9. Navigate 'Module Manager' or 'Plugin Manager' depending on the type of add-on you installed under the 'Extensions' drop-down menu. Open the new add-on.
Link the Add-on to Google
10. Log on to your Google AdSense account. Click the 'AdSense Setup' tab and click 'AdSense for Content.'
11. Click 'Single Page' and scroll down to the box titled 'Your AdSense code.' Look for the line that starts with 'google_ad_client =' and copy the string of numbers that follows, including 'pub-' but excluding the quotation marks.
12. Go back to your Joomla add-on and scroll down until you see the box for 'Publisher ID.' Paste the publisher ID you copied from your AdSense account.
13. Modify the add-on within Joomla. Depending on the type of add-on you downloaded, you can change the layout, placement, colors and text of the ads that will appear on your website.
14. Save the add-on. Load your website to make sure the changes you made are reflected where appropriate.

How to Make Money off a Web Page
1. Add advertisements from a pay-per-click (PPC) ad-network to your site. These ads pay you a set amount of money every time a visitor to your site clicks on an ad. The ad-network will give you HTML code to paste onto your website. The ads may consist of a sidebar, banner, text ads or a combination. Popular PPC networks include Google Adsense, Yahoo! Publisher Networks and Clicksor.
2. Add advertisement from a cost-per-mille (CPM) ad-network. These ads are similar to PPC ads but you are paid a set amount for every 1,000 views of the ads. The amount you receive for a 1,000 views will depend on the size and location of the advertisements. Popular CPM ad-networks include Burst Media, Value Click and Advertising.com.
3. Use an affiliate marketing system on your website. With affiliate marketing you send visitors of your site to purchase merchandise from a third party. This can either be directly, through links from product reviews or recommendation, or indirectly, through advertisements. For every visitor from your site who purchases something, you receive a commission.
4. Sell your own merchandise from your site. This strategy works particularly well if you run a web page showcasing your own creative works, such as art, photography or a web comic. You can sell prints of your work or merchandise based on your work to fans.
5. Accept donations on your web page. Provide an address to send checks or a link to send money through an Internet payment service such as PayPal or AlertPay. People who visit your site often, may be willing to donate if you are providing a quality service such as entertainment or a web-based application.
6. Make access to your web page subscription-based. In order for a subscription model to work you must consistently provide fresh, quality content to keep visitors coming back. Browser-based games are another option that work well with the subscription model.
How to Insert a PowerPoint Into a Google Page
1. Prepare the PowerPoint presentation. Try to keep it simple for the conversion process, especially if you don't own conversion tools. Limit the amount of animations, transitions and audio.
2. Convert the PowerPoint presentation to Flash. You can do it manually if you have programming experience. Or you can use a free converter if your presentation is simple. If the presentation is more complex and you are going to be making a lot of conversions, you may want to consider purchasing a converter such as PPT2Flash.
3. Set up your Google Page for the PowerPoint. Set up a Google Page or log into your existing Google Page account. If you have a Gmail account you already have access to a Google Page, but you may not have set it up yet.
4. Click on the 'Upload' link on the right side of the screen. Click 'Browse' to find the converted PowerPoint file. Click on the file's name and choose 'Open.' Click on the new link that appears in the 'Upload' box. Copy the URL of that link that opens to your clipboard.
5. Go to the Google Page where you plan to insert the PowerPoint. Click in the section where you intend to put the PowerPoint show. Locate the 'Edit HTML' link in the lower right corner of the screen. Click on it.
6. Insert the following HTML code into the box that opens:
7. Change 'URL of the uploaded flash file' to the URL you copied to the clipboard in Step 4. Preview the Google Page and if all is correct, publish it.

How to Make Money With Your Own Live Chat Website
1. Determine the type of website you want to start for live chatting. Live chat websites can range from adult-themed to expertise sites such as law or legal advice. Decide which type of live chat site makes sense for you based on your expertise and what you have to offer.
2. Secure a website. Purchase a website through a reputable domain name service. Make sure that the domain registry service participates in the registration of International Domain Names, or IDNs. This is a network which makes sure no one else 'owns' the domain name. Secure a website whose name correlates to the type of live chat you will be performing.
3. Build your live chat website. You can pay to have your website professionally built, or use a 'build it yourself' subscription service. The key things for the live chat website will be building areas where you can chat in groups or in private. Include pages with biographic information, pictures and other information that correlate with your type of live chat site. Also be sure to embed a payment method for your website.
4. Add Google Adsense to your website. Google Adsense is a program which allows advertisers to place advertisements on your website. When an ad gets clicked by a user, the user is then transported to another website. As the host of that ad, you get paid by the advertiser for each click. The amounts vary based on the type of advertisement. See Resources for more information.
5. Advertise your website. To make money, you want to keep your costs low so that you can keep more of the business income. Forgo some of the traditional banner advertising. Those ads will be bought and paid for by corporations. For your website, advertise on community boards and places that share a common theme with your website. As you invite people for live chat, more customers will start to follow.
6. Get customers to commit to paying you. This can be the tricky part. You want to offer enough incentive that when they visit your website, they begin to engage with you and then reach for their wallets. At some point in the conversation, you will have to ask them to 'go private' or pay for a service (such as reviewing a legal document). If they do not, you will eventually have to stop communicating with that person. After all, there is only one of you to make money

How to Get Kicked Off of Google Adsense
1. Clicking on your own ads will get you kicked off Adsense really quickly. How does Google know that you are clicking on your ads? They know through your I.P. address. This is your computer's signature. When you signed into the Google Adsense dashboard to access your account, Google recorded your I.P. address and if you click on your own ads, Google will know.
2. Provide incentives for people to click on your Adsense advertisements. You can offer money, discounts, or just beg and plead to get people to click on your ads. This will also get you kicked off of Adsense because their ads are not getting quality clicks. There is minimal to no chance that the people clicking on those ads are actually interested in what the end website has to offer. They are only clicking because of your incentive and that hurts Google's reputation.
3. Running an Adwords program to promote a website with Adsense content is unethical. You will probably pay a low amount for the clicks that you receive from the sponsored ads on the Google search to receive high quality clicks on the Adsense ads sponsored on your Website. Google loses here, Google doesn't like to lose.

How to Make Money Through Hits on the Internet
How to Make Money through Hits on the Internet
1. Sign up for the Adsense program at Google.com, as this is one of the fastest ways to capitalize off your hits. Adsense is an advertising network full of advertisers that want to place ads on websites and compensate website owners, or 'publishers,' for clicks on their ads. To get an account, Adsense requires information about you and your site. Once you have an account, place the Adsense code on your website and you can start making money within minutes. A click on an ad on your site can cost an advertiser as little as five cents, of which Google gets a cut before you do, so do not expect Adsense to be incredibly lucrative.
2. Explore other advertising networks that better suit your needs by searching for 'ad networks' on search engines. While Adsense is one of the biggest ad networks, it is not necessarily the best one for every publisher, and some advertising networks compensate at higher rates for particular sites.
3. Sell your own ad space. Ad networks do the selling for you, leaving you to worry about the hits you are generating for you website. However, ad networks take a percentage of the revenue you generate for having made the sell with the advertisers. To eliminate ad networks' percentage of the revenue you generate, sell ad space on your website directly to advertisers. This is nearly impossible to do unless you have hundreds of thousands of hits per month; nevertheless, you get all of the revenue you generate if you are able to make the sales yourself.
4. Sign up for an affiliate program. This type of program allows a publisher to work directly with an advertiser and earn a predetermined amount of money for each action the publisher generates for the advertiser. For example, if someone on your website clicks on one of your advertiser's links and that person goes on to buy something from the advertiser, you will get a percentage, or set amount, of that purchase paid to you. An effective way to use affiliate programs is to work with advertisers in an industry directly related to the content generating hits for your website, such as using StubHub.com's affiliate program on a website about buying cheap event tickets.
5. Sell your own products. If you are not interested in being the middle man, you can always use hits on your website as a means to sell your own products. You can place links on your website in the same way you would with an advertising network or affiliate program, only these links can take people to your own store, where you sell your own products.
