What Is Google Payday?

Affiliation

In a response to a Google AdWords user's question in March 2009, a Google customer service representative stated that Google Payday was not affiliated with Google--and that the representative had never heard of it.

Kit

Google Payday was offered for a teaser price of $1.95, for which the buyer was supposed to receive a CD with information about how to profit from Google's AdSense and AdWords programs.

Fees

Purchasing the kit automatically enrolled a buyer in a web-hosting program with an upfront fee and monthly fees charged to the credit card used to order the kit.

Cancellation

Buyers had to cancel the service within 14 days or the additional fees would be charged.

Status

As of January 2010, the website googlepayday.com was an inactive, or 'parked,' domain registered under a nonexistent Newport Beach, California, address and phone number.

How to Set Up a Webpage for Google AdSense

1. Sign up for a Google AdSense account. Go to google.com/adsense and login with your Google account, if you have one. Otherwise, click the blue 'Sign Up Now' button. In both cases, enter your website address (URL), whether your website is for individual or business use, your name and contact information. Click the 'Submit Information' button. If you don't yet have a Google account, you'll be prompted to create one, although it's not necessary to use AdSense.

2. Respond to your confirmation email so that Google can begin processing your application. According to Google, processing takes two to three business days. Click the link contained in the email Google AdSense will send you.

3. Setup your AdSense once your account has been approved. Go to google.com/adsense and click on the 'AdSense Setup' tab. Click 'AdSense for Content' (or 'AdSense for Domains' if you don't yet have content on your website).

4. Design your ad. Specify whether you'd text ads, image ads or text and image ads. Alternatively, you can choose to display a list of links instead of an ad. Click 'Continue' and choose a format and color scheme for your ad. Drop-down the menu next to 'Format' to select from the available formats ('350 x 250 Medium Rectangle,' for example). Click on any color under the 'Palettes' pane to search for a new one. Click 'Continue' twice, then click the 'Submit and Get Code' button to get your ad's code for your website.

5. Copy the code from Google and paste it into your website's HTML. Double-click to select the ad code then copy your text by holding down the 'Ctrl' and 'C' keys at the same time. Login to your web server and access your 'File Manager.' Open your site's 'index.html' file (or whichever page you use as a homepage) and paste the ad in anywhere after the '

' tag, but before the '

' tag. Save the HTML file and refresh your website to see your ads.

How to Increase Earnings Potential

1.

Improve your educational credentials. Even if an MBA is not a solid requirement for your career, obtain one if you are in a business-related position. Statistically speaking, the higher your degree, the higher your pay. If your company will not adjust your pay based on an advanced degree, consider alternative positions or companies.

2. Research salaries for your career and position. Make copies of the data to provide to your supervisor. ('How to Get a Pay Raise,' linked in Resources below, provides advice on this meeting.) Before taking this route, however, ensure that you have been performing well, so the boss cannot find an easy reason to turn you down.

3. Present your case, with salary survey data, to your supervisor. Tell him you would like to be considered for a raise out of sequence. If this is not possible because of your company's compensation rules, ask to be given a larger increase at the normal salary review. You may also wish to consider other, more lucrative careers.

4. Apply for promotions. If the new job involves supervising others, get experience by volunteering to head teams at work and taking the initiative to oversee new projects. Be sure supervisors take into account any experience you have supervising outside of work (such as military, prior jobs or community service).

5. Take a part-time job at night or on weekends. Contact employment agencies and local stores or businesses to advise them of your availability. This solution can provide a temporary boost to your cash flow problems..

6.

Make money online by doing surveys, writing blogs or selling on eBay. If you have a little spare time each week, you could find these money-making ventures helpful and can work from home.
