How Does Google Know If Your IP Is Masked?

When Google Knows

Google knows that your IP is masked when the anonymizing proxy sends it to its own domain and host. In the past, many anonymizing services were of this type. Without an anonymizing proxy, your IP would show up as something like the following. (The country code for the United States is not 123; this is a hypothetical example).IP: 123.45. 678. 910

Location: United States

Region: Your State

City: Your City

ISP: Your ISP

Operating System/Version: Your OS and version number

Browser: All browsers you are usingIf you use a masked proxy, it will create a new IP address for you that appears something like this:IP: 456.12. 345.789

Location: Anonymizing Host

ISP: Anonymizing Host

Browser: Anonymizing Host

Operating System/Version: Anonymizing HostGoogle knows that this IP address is masked.

Not All Proxies Are Equal

Proxy services that convert your IP address, location and host name to another IP address and location do mask your actual IP address, but they do not prevent Google from tracking you. Often, these services route your IP address to a server in a different country, which enables you to access some but not all of your favorite sites. And by changing your IP address and routing it to a new server in a different country, these proxies are anonymous only until Google tracks that new IP address.

When Google Does Not Know

The demand for a truly anonymous proxy that Google can't identify as being masked remains high. In 2010 a free Mozilla Firefox add-on, GoogleSharing, was developed by Moxie Marlinspoke for Mozilla users who wish to surf anonymously. It does not work for other browsers.

No-Mask Anonymous Surfing

GoogleSharing was designed to guarantee Mozilla users a level of anonymous surfing not available with other proxies. By encrypting a user's IP address and sharing it randomly with other users' IP addresses, GoogleSharing not only keeps Google from realizing that your IP address is masked, but also keeps it from tracking your IP address. GoogleSharing feeds to Google the IP address of the previous user. The next user will then get your IP address, and the user after that will get the IP address of the previous user. It is this sharing of IP addresses and encrypting them that makes it impossible for Google to know that the proxy IP is masked.

About Pay Per Click Advertising

History

A small company that would later become part of Yahoo! first introduced pay per click advertising in 1998. Google Adwords, Microsoft adCenter and Yahoo! Search Marketing still remain on top in the pay per click advertising market. Other pay per click-based search engines include Ask and Looksmart. Pay per click is a cheap way of advertising, but the results are not always favorable. Traffic is almost guaranteed, but a purchase or other desired action is not.

Search Engines

Search engines commonly use bidding as their form of pay per click advertising. An advertiser will submit its advertisement along with a list of keywords. An advertiser will then choose an amount, usually in cents, that he is willing to pay per click. Most times these types of advertisements are going to appear at the top, or side, of the search results as a sponsored link or sponsored advertisement.

Content Sites

Advertisers also have taken a huge interest in placing advertisements on content websites. These types of sites normally charge a flat fee per click and do not utilize a bidding system like the search engines. The fee is charged per each unique click. A unique click is one click per user, and therefore eliminates overpaying for clicks that may be generated from the same user clicking multiple times.

Cost

The cost per click varies immensely for different websites and different search engines. Many times the cost per click will be dependent on the amount of information on the topic already sponsored in the search engine listings. Content websites normally charge a flat fee based on your advertisement size, content and placement. They may charge more for high traffic page placement, but typically the fees are not as costly as search engine sponsored listings.

Incentive-based Paid to Click

Paid to click incentive sites offer cheap advertising for those looking to market their product or service through pay per click advertising. The problem for the advertiser is that the end user who is clicking on their link is normally only clicking to gain the incentive. Most paid to click websites offer a fraction of a penny per each unique click to their members. The advertiser decides how often a user can be compensated for a click.

Does Google AdSense Work?

How It Works

Google AdSense displays contextual ads on your page, the content and appearance of which you can control with filters and design elements. According to Google, you earn money by displaying AdSense ads on your pages and by visitors to your site clicking the ads.

AdSense Reports

AdSense offers a service called Reports, which allows you to see how much ad revenue you have generated and estimate how much you will earn. However, one of the downsides is that AdSense does not offer information about the actual share of ad revenue that you earned.

Threshholds and Payment

Google AdSense currently has two thresholds: In the United States, the company asks you for your tax information and payment preference when you've reached $10 in AdSense earnings and sends payment once you've reached $100 in AdSense earnings.

Optimization and Demos

To help you increase revenue, Google offers a page of optimization tips (see Resources below), which help you design and implement an individualized AdSense plan. Google also offers beginners a full page of demonstrations on how to work through the AdSense process (see Resources below).

Expectations

Earnings will vary widely based on traffic to the site on which you have installed AdSense. Unless you have a very high-traffic, popular website, you may never see a Google AdSense payment. Even if you do occasionally make money, you should not view it as a steady source of income. Nevertheless, AdSense does (under its Resources tab) keep track of its users' success stories--some of whom have found the service very profitable.

How to Start an Online Ebook Business

Planning an eBook

1. Use a mix of creativity and business smarts and create an eBook that people would want to read. Use keyword search tools to find out exactly what subjects people search for online.

2. Choose at least 20 subjects that are the most marketable and typically get at least 30,000 to 50,000 hits a day. Whittle the list to a few by using the criteria of uniqueness and whether the topics are saturated on the Internet.

3. Sign up for Google AdSense. Create a one-page website with a survey asking what people think of your eBook idea or what they may want to see. Google AdSense helps bring traffic to your survey site by placing ads on the page that pertain to your website topic. Eventually, you will use this to get visitors to your eBook site.

Creating the eBook

4. Study the data on your survey after just a few days and start to create your eBook using any word-processing program. Keep the book under 40 pages and on topic to keywords you researched earlier.

5. Hire a ghostwriter after writing a few of your own eBooks and selling them independently through eBay or your website. Once you start turning healthy profits, it is best to have other people do the writing. Then you can focus on the marketing aspects, which will take most of your time.

6. Look for bargain ghostwriters and general content producers through outsourcing sites such as RentACoder. You can advertise your eBook project there and get bids from freelance writers.

7. Request use of SEO, or search engine optimization, in your eBooks. This means your eBooks contain keywords that enable the books to place high on search engines such as Google.

Marketing

8. Start selling your eBooks on your website using Google AdSense. If you paid attention to trends and start offering multiple eBooks on a weekly basis, you could be selling many of these and turning in big profits. Website design can be simple.

9. Set up commerce on your website using PayPal so customers can buy and download your eBooks.

10. Market your eBooks through methods other than relying exclusively on SEO and AdSense. Use mass email marketing to certain groups you know would be interested.

11. Visit forums on the net that pertain to the subject of your eBook. Leave a link to your website in one of them and your site likely will receive visitors within days if not hours.

12. Find blogs on the net that write about the subjects of your eBooks. Ask the bloggers to review your eBook or start your own blog if you can find time to write regularly. Buy an ad on a blog that is not yours but relates to the topic of your eBook.
