How Google Adsense Works

All Programs

For all the AdSense programs, you can choose where the ad content appears on your site. You also have some influence in choosing what content Google will display on your site. You can filter out the ads from sites that compete with yours, or ads that don't relate to your site's content or that are offensive.

Eligibility

Before you can choose parameters for the AdSense ads, your site has to meet Google's criteria. These include the following: You must be at least 18 and have a website. If you don't have a site, you can use a blogging site such as Blogger, WordPress or TypePad.

AdSense for Content

The AdSense for content program places ads on your site that are relevant to your site's content. For example, if your site is about notable painters throughout the history of art, you can choose to have Google show ads for people promoting products like artist supplies, picture frames, online art lessons, and other goods or services related to art. When you sign up for this AdSense program, Google presents a series of screens that let you choose how ad content will appear. For example, you can choose text-only ads to prevent large images from distracting your site's visitors. You can also choose ad size and font to integrate the ad's look with that of your site. After completing these option screens, Google gives you the HTML code to place on your site's pages. After installing this code and uploading the page to your server, Google starts delivering the ads.

AdSense for Search

Googles AdSense for search program gives you another benefit besides ad revenue: a search engine for your site. In the configuration screens for this AdSense program, you tell Google where on your site you want to place the search engine. You can also indicate which specific pages of your site you want searched. When your site's visitors use the search engine to locate content on your site, ads appear at the top of the search results--just as they do when you use the regular Google search engine.

How to Earn Money With Pay Per Post

1. In order to have a blog approved for Pay Per Post, the blog must have been in existence for a minimum of 30 days, with a minimum of 10 regular posts. Pay Per Post wants to ensure that bloggers are consistently blogging and that the blog is not a fake created to exploit paid-for blogging sites.

2. Once you've met the minimum requirement, submit your blog to Pay Per Post for approval. The approval process can take anywhere from 24 hours to a week.

3. Upon approval, you may use Pay Per Post’s referral option to earn money. When your referrals sign up and begin blogging in accordance with Pay Per Post’s terms and conditions, you will earn money from the referral logs.

4. Claim blogging assignments. Another way to earn money with Pay Per Post is to claim assignment from advertisers that want bloggers to blog about their product or service. Once you claim the service or product, you have a certain amount of time in which to complete the assignment and submit it for approval and payment.

5. Through the Pay Per Post Direct feature, bloggers can earn money via direct contact with advertisers. In order to solicit direct contact, the blogger must install the Pay Per Post Direct code on their blog, enabling advertisers to select and hire them. The blogger has a certain amount of time in which to complete the Pay Per Post Direct assignment. Once the assignment is completed, the advertiser must approve or reject the post within four days and pay the blogger

How to Make Money as a Clickbank Affiliate

1. Build a website. Blogger and Wordpress offer free blogs, and you can buy a domain if you don't want the 'blogspot' or 'wordpress' sub domain name added.

2. Choose A Niche You Want To Promote. It is easier to get sales an products that you know something about. Use your website to promote products similar to your niche and it will be easier to convert leads into sales. Many advertisers make the mistake of promoting a wide range of products when it is easier to sell when you are viewed as reputable.

3. Choose Quality Products That Have High Conversion Rates. Having the most expensive products doesn't mean people will buy it. The more inexpensive the product, and the better the quality and conversion rate, the higher the chance they will buy. Search around for sites and other affiliate programs that have the right type of products you want.

4. Promote your website. Make accounts with YouTube, Myspace, Stumbleupon, Digg, and Facebook and invite users to check out your website. Make videos on youtube talking about your website and interact with others in the community. Some people will promote you if they find your website helps them, and that leads more people to your page, leading to more views for the product you sell.

5. Consider making a free members area. If people are interested in your website they will join and you can add them to your mailing list and offer them products occasionally. Don't spam them though. You want to build trust and actually offer them helpful items.

6. Keep Working At It. There are many ways to make a quick buck, but they can not compare to the lasting effect of building traffic and interest in your site. Keep working at optimizing your website and fine tuning the products you sell. Mess around with features and bring freshness to your page and you will benefit. You too can have success with affiliate marketing if you work at it.

Google AdSense Revenue Tips

Contrast Ads to Design

A study by The Software Usability Research Laboratory at Wichita State University found that contrast works well. Google suggests that blended ads work well, but study results show the opposite. Participants in the study were attracted to high-contrast ads, while ignoring ads that blended with the design. This indicates that using high-contrast ads can result in more clicks and income because the ads attract more attention.

Place Ads High

Joel Comm, author of 'The AdSense Code,' recommends placing Google ads above the fold of your website. Ads above the fold appear at the top of the page and are visible without scrolling down or across. According to Comm, people are more likely to read and click ads that appear before they get distracted by reading your website content.

Wide Over Tall

Google reports that wide ad sizes outperform tall ad sizes. Google goes on to say that If positioned well, wide ad sizes can significantly increase earnings. Large-rectangle 336-by-280 ads, medium-rectangle 300-by-250 ads and wide skyscraper 160-by-600 ads are high performers. However, you should only choose these sizes if they are suited to the page.

Increase Keyword Density

Google feeds ads to your website based on its content. If Google decides your page is about widgets, then widget ads will appear on your website. Keywords are how Google determines what your website is about. In order to attract ads related to your website's topic, you must use relevant keywords. When an ad's content matches your website content, visitors are more likely to click the ad.
