How to Trace an Originating IP

1. Locate the header information in the email you wish to trace. This will look like a confusing mass of undecipherable text, easily distinguishable from the easy-to-read body of the email, but will end with something like 'Content-transfer-encoding ...' You will probably have to enable viewing this information, but the procedure for this differs between programs and services.For example, in Gmail, you click the arrow by 'reply' and select 'show original.' In Yahoo, you click 'actions' and then 'few full headers.' In Outlook, you click 'internet headers' in the 'message options' window.

2. Copy the headers by selecting the text and pressing CTRL + C. If you select too much, that is alright; most look-up tools will ignore anything extra. In fact, you could press CTRL + A to select everything and then CTRL + C to copy it all, and it will still work in most trace tools.

3. Visit a trace tool site such as Find-IP-Address, What Is My IP Address or IP Address Location.

4. Paste the copied header information into the rectangular box on the tool page. You may also need to enter the 'captcha' security text to verify you are a real person. Press enter or submit. The tool will display the textual and/or visual location of the originator's IP.

Google Adsense FAQ

What Counts As a Click?

AdSense users can sign up for either cost per click (CPC) or cost per thousand impressions (CPM) advertisements. CPC ads pay whenever a user clicks on them, passing through to the advertiser's webpage. CPM ads pay when shown on your site, whether or not the user clicks through. In general, CPM ads pay significantly less per thousand impressions than CPC ads. Some users prefer them because they don't require visitors to engage in an action, however.

Where Are Ads Displayed?

Members of AdSense choose the location for ad display, enabling them to integrate the service with their site design. According to Google, some locations are more common, since users spend more time looking at that area of the site. However, placing an ad in these areas, where users normally expect to see content, can cause navigation problems or irritate visitors. Most ads are placed on the left or right hand side of the page, above or below the navigation bar, or directly above the page footer. Unobtrusive ads usually receive better visitor approval, but tend to get fewer clicks. Advertisers often pay more for better positioning on a page.

Can Site Owners Filter Ads?

Not all advertisements shown through AdSense are appropriate for all websites. For instance, ads offering diet plans may be offensive on an eating disorder support site. Users can use the competitive ad filter tool and the ad review center to keep offensive or inappropriate ads off their websites. The competitive ad filter helps AdSense users manage a list of advertisers whose ads aren't permitted on their site, while the ad review center allows users to prevent placement-targeted ads from appearing, either by advertiser or by group.

How Does Google Choose Which Ads to Display?

Google AdSense is meant to display ads relevant to the site content and the interests of site visitors. It uses contextual and placement targeting to accomplish this, as well as advertising to visitors based on their interests. Contextual targeting is based on the keywords, structure and link style of a given page. This technique does produce some false positives, however, such as advertisements for credit cards on debt reduction pages. Placement targeting allows advertisers to choose specific sites and locations for their ads, introducing a human element, while interest-based advertising uses information from visitors' computers and previous behaviors to determine what ads to show them.

How to Make Money from Advertisers when Selling eBooks Online

1. Trial Pay is a new payment platform that increases your customer's willingness to pay for your product.

2. Here is the concept. You create a special offer or make your item free to the buyer if the buyer completes an offer with an advertiser. An offer is something like a free trial at NetFlix, 25 free music downloads from eMusic, a free audiobook from Audible, or a free membership to Blockbuster.

3. If your customer completes the offer, he gets your item for free or at a discount, and the advertiser pays you anywhere from $10 to $25 or more. So, instead of the customer paying you for the product, the advertiser pays you more than the customer would have.

4. To try this program, sign up for Trial Pay and create an account. (See the resources section below.) Then create an offer such as 'Get this eBook free!' Add the HTML to your product pages on your website.

5. Why does this strategy work? A customer willing to pay the full price for your eBook may be worth more to an advertiser than your retail price. Think of the big picture. Many online advertisers have customers with lifetime values that range in the $100 to $1,000s. For example, let's say your customer signs up for the NetFlix free trial. He decides likes the service, and converts to a paying customer. NetFlix can make $100s or $1,000s of dollars from that one customer over the next several years. NetFlix's investment was only $20 or so they paid you to get that customer through your website.

6. The customer gets a good deal, gets your eBook free, and gets to try a new product or service for free. You get paid a nice referral fee, and the advertiser gets a new customer. Everyone wins.

7. This type of passive income is much more efficient and can pay much more than pay per click advertising on Google Adsense through affiliate programs. You will still want to do those programs, too, but, the advertisers on Trial Pay will pay you much more.

8. Trial Pay is also a great way to acquire new customers that might not want to pay for your product. In essence, you can make more money from the advertisers than you make selling the actual eBook.

9. See the resource links below for more information on Trial Pay, how the program works, and to see an example of it in use on a website.

How to Create a Turnkey Web Site

1. Choose a market niche for your turnkey site. Websites that focus on niches are popular and can generate a significant revenue have the greatest chance of being sold. Think of industries that have a large advertising network. For example, a website on dog care serves a large audience and also has a wide range of companies who would want to advertise dog care products. In contrast, a site about raising ants will have a much narrower audience and less appeal to advertisers and entrepreneurs.

2. Sign up for budget web hosting. When attempting to create a turnkey website, minimizing your overhead costs will help you realize the greatest profit when selling the site. You also want a host that is able to transfer ownership of the domain and hosting account for free. Examples of budget webhosts that can do this include Fat Cow and Blue Host (see Resources).

3. Build the turnkey site. If building the site from a blank page, use a visual site editor (e.g. Dreamweaver) or a standard text editor if you are comfortable with your level of HTML expertise. Alternatively, purchase a professional website template. Templates are popular among those who create turnkey websites because they minimize the time it takes to get the site up and running. Avoid free website template sites as they often offer low-quality templates that are not always standards-compliant. Dreamtemplate is an example of a professional template provider (see Resources).

4. Propagate your site with keyword-targeted, original content. Include a minimum of five to 10 pages for the site. Think about the keywords that will attract advertisers. Stay focused on your turnkey website's overall theme. For example, a dog care site may have web pages on dog breeds; dog grooming tips; dog grooming product reviews; and dog feeding and nutrition guides. The more pages you include with the turnkey site, the higher your chance of selling the site quickly.

5. Insert advertising and affiliate programs. Popular examples include Google AdSense, Commission Junction and Amazon Associates. You may insert your own code, which the purchaser will then replace with his or her own affiliate codes. Alternatively, simply insert 'Ad Here' or similar text to notify the purchaser of the locations of ad spots. However, successful turnkey websites will come with affiliate codes pre-installed and income reports to show potential buyers of the site's income potential.

6. Upload the website to the web host you chose in Step 2 using your FTP software. Enter your server name and password into the FTP software to connect with the server. If you do not know this information, it may be found in the registration material sent to you by the host when you originally registered. Once connected, upload the templates and pages you've created. Your turnkey site is now online.

7. List the turnkey site you've created for sale. You may wish to post it for free on an online classified ads website such as Craigslist. Alternatively, list the site for sale on an online marketplace specializing in turnkey website sales. One of the most popular and well-known sites that do this is the Sitepoint Marketplace (see Resources).
