How to Add Google AdSense to Your Blog

1. Apply for an AdSense account using your Google ID or create a new Google ID for use with your AdSense account. Check your email inbox after you submit your application; Google will send an email soon after you apply, and you must click a link in the message to confirm your AdSense application and send it for review. Once submitted, it can take a few days to a week or more for the AdSense team to approve your account.

2. Log in to your AdSense account once the account is approved. Click the 'My Ads' tab on the main AdSense interface to view your AdSense ad units. You won't have any ad units yet, so click the 'Content Ads' option on the sidebar, and then click the '+New' link to begin creating a new ad unit for your blog.

3. Customize your ad unit. Give it a name, select an ad unit size, ad type, color scheme and other customization options on the 'New Ad Unit' setup page. Ideally, you should select a 728-by-90 ad unit for your initial ad unless you have another size in mind. Consult the preview pane to view changes to your ad unit as you make them. Once you are satisfied, click the 'Save and Get Code' button to save your ad unit and obtain the code that you will need to implement the ad. Click your mouse inside the box containing the ad code and press “Ctrl-A” on your keyboard to select the code if it is not already selected. Press 'Ctrl-C' to copy the code to your system clipboard.

4. Navigate to your blog and log in to the administrative dashboard or control panel. Then, open the 'index.php,' 'home.php' or similarly named file that represents your blog’s home page in your blog layout editor. If the blog is hosted on your own website, you may be able to edit the files directly from the site's file manager or via an FTP connection.

5. Look through the code on your blog page and locate the '' code that opens the header or content area of your blog. If you have specific text in your header or at the top of the content area, you can find it quickly by pressing 'Ctrl-F' to access your browser or file editor's text search function. Click at the bottom of the header code or at the top of the content area code, and then press 'Ctrl-V' to paste the ad code into your page. Save the page.

6. Load your blog in your Web browser. Take note of the position of the ad that you just inserted into the page; it should appear below the header of your blog or at the top of the content area. Make adjustments to your ad code, such as adding center-justified paragraph tags or other HTML or PHP code as needed to position the ad exactly where you want it. Google ads might not display immediately; instead, generic ads may appear until Google has properly indexed your blog to optimize ad content.

7. Create additional ad units to place in your blog, repeating the above procedure. You can add a banner ad to the left or right side of your blog's content area, or you can use 350x350 square ads to fill space between your blog roll and other sidebar content. An additional horizontal banner can be placed halfway down the screen between blog posts to increase ad visibility without overwhelming your visitors.

8. Open the PHP file that you use to generate individual blog post pages and repeat the ad placement procedure on that page, too. This will insert ads into individual blog posts, ensuring that AdSense ads will display even if visitors reach your blog from external links and don't actually view your blog’s home page.

How to Build a Video Sharing Website

Prepare

1. Find a niche. Although you could opt for a general video sharing website, it is a much better idea to go with a smaller niche market. This will avoid too much competition. Think about what interests you and what market you believe has not been touched yet.

2. Purchase hosting. Find a host company that supports PHP scripts and has a visible C Panel for the user to access. Cirtex Hosting is often recommended because of their affordable prices.

3. Register a domain. This domain will be offered as you are signing up for your hosting account, and a discount will often be included. Take advantage of this deal, and think of a short and memorable domain to use.

4. Download PHP Motion. Visit the company's website and click 'Download.' Save the file to your Desktop.

5. Download and install FileZilla. Visit the website, click 'Download' and save it on the Desktop. Then double click the saved icon to run the installer and follow the Step-By-Step Installation Wizard.

Install PHP Motion

6. Unzip the PHP Motion file. Right click on the file on your Desktop and select 'Unzip Files.' Select the Desktop as the destination and click 'Go' or similar.

7. Transfer the file contents. Open FileZilla and select 'Connect.' Follow the step-by-step instructions to connect with your hosting account. When connected, upload the file contents.

8. Change the permissions. Scroll through the list of files until you find the '/cgi-bin/' file. Right click this file and select 'Properties.' Under the 'Numeric Value' field, replace the numbers present with '777.' Click 'Okay.'

9. Complete the upload. Click 'Save' or similar. Verify that all contents of the PHP Motion file are present.

10. Install PHP Motion. Type 'yourdomain.com/setup' into the web browser of choice. Wait for the step-by-step wizard to appear, and then proceed through the installation via the 'Next' button.

Customize

11. Select the template. Under the 'Templates' tab when logged into the administrative area, browse through all of the available template designs and select one that appeals to you and your market.

12. Customize the template. Replace the logo with your own and change the colors throughout the template to match the logo aesthetically.

13. Set permissions. Under the 'Settings' tab, click 'Permissions.' Here you can set whether a video is automatically approved and posted or if the administrator has to approve it manually.

14. Replace the current content with your own. Change the introduction text and any images on the site by double clicking on them. Type in your own text or select 'Browse' and select the image you wish to upload. Repeat this for each page on your website, making it attractive to your market.

15. Add videos. In the Admin area, click 'Upload.' Click 'Browse,' find the video file and select 'Upload.' Enter the required information and proceed. Repeat this each day, adding three to five videos until users start contributing.

How to Get Advertisers on a Website

1. Sign up with a service that places ads on your website. This is an easy way to keep ads coming in without having to seek out advertisers. Advertising programs like AdSense, AdWords and Kontera require that you place their ad code on your site. That code automatically generates ads on your website that correspond to the content of each page.

2. Seek out banner ads. If you look at your competitors' sites, you will likely see a number of banner ads on them. Notice what companies have sponsored those banner ads and approach those companies about advertising on your own website. You can get advertisers this way by offering a competitive rate.

3. Put a link on the website for advertisers to inquire about placing ads on the site. Include a little bit of information about your traffic and other stats to make it easy for advertisers to see whether they'd be interested in advertising on the site.

4. Have as much information about your site as possible so you can answer questions from potential advertisers. You will need to know your daily and monthly traffic, some basic demographics and the growth percentage of your site over the past few months. If you have a detailed counter that provides you with this information, keep track of what you find out. If you don't have a detailed counter, get one. They are available free of charge from multiple sources.

How to Make Money With Google Software

1. Create a website. If you don't already have a website you wish to use with AdSense, you can use one of several free options such as Blogger, WordPress, or Google Sites to create a site and fill it with content.

2. Create an AdSense account from Google's website using the 'Sign Up Now' button. You can tie your AdSense account to an existing Google account, or create a new account for its use.

3. Enter the URL of your website in the 'Website Information' section. Google will review your website to ensure it meets the terms of use guidelines for AdSense before approving your account. If you wish to use more than one site, start with one and you can add more later.

4. Enter your mailing address in the 'Contact Information' section. Use your actual address and ensure its accuracy, as Google will send your AdSense payments here.

5. Read the three policy agreements and check the corresponding boxes to certify your adherence. Click 'Submit Information' to continue.

6. Wait for your account to activate. This may take some time, as Google must first review your site. You will receive a notification e-mail when your account is active.

7. Sign in to your AdSense account from Google's website.

8. Add AdSense to your website. Many site providers, including Blogger (references below) and Google Sites have built-in methods of adding AdSense content via gadgets or toolbars. You can also use the 'AdSense Setup' tab from within your AdSense account to view different methods of ad delivery.

9. Track the effectiveness of your AdSense account using the 'Reports' tab, which collates data on advertisement impressions, clicks and earnings.
