Adsense Simple
Anyone who claims to have his/her Adsense increase in the last 90 days either 1. isn't paying attention, 2. is deliberately misleading others or 3. just opened his account and started with zero.
Sad truth is that, on or about November 15th of 2007, practically all publishers saw a large drop when Google made it so that the only clickable part of the Adsense banner is either the hyperlinked title or the URL itself. Prior to that, the entire banner was a big juicy hot spot. For practically all publishers, that alone caused a huge income droppage. Big G called it a safety measure to prevent accidental clicks. Ok, whatever. Go argue with that.
Next came this smart pricing concept on or about the same time. Clicks that previously brought in significantly more now pay only $0.05-$0.10 -- if you are lucky. Sure some categories still pay a little more, but practically all took a beating.
Take a moment and think about this from Google's point of view, though. With the previously higher payouts, they got publishers to use their product in droves, they established themselves as the de facto place for companies to allocate advertising dollars, and they kicked the corporate tushies of MSN and Yahoo. Great strategy.
If you were them, you too would probably realize that the time has now come to cut back on the publisher payouts and to keep the payments within the stock holder family. They are well aware that most of their publishers will be too lazy to switch and/or not be concerned with the drop in earnings.
Will the Microsoft's purchase of Yahoo make G re-address their lower publisher payout decision? Perhaps, but that may or may not ever happen (ie, anti-trust concerns). And, even if it does happen, it may never be a threat to G anyways. It may be too late for Microsoft to turn that sinking oceanliner around. Remember that IBM bought dying dog Lotus thinking they could turn it around. Novell bought dying dog Word Perfect thinking the same thing. When was the last time you used either Lotus or Word Perfect? (Anyone remember Altavista?) Well, now Microsoft is going to buy Yahoo. Maybe they will resestablish it into a real contender ala Facebook or maybe they are just wasting their precious $44,000,000,000.00 (Wow, that's a lot of money!). I predict the latter and that Google will not only end up as a winner, but that Microsoft will then have $44B less to spend in their warchest.
So, if you are a publisher...what to do? Relax. We are all in the same boat. Even those that say otherwise.
Remember when you first started with Adsense and/or Overture and were really happy to be earning enough to buy yourself breakfast on a daily basis? Then lunch...and soon, it became a dinner? Soon, it was a really nice dinner and desert, and eventually it covered your mortgage or more. As a eminder, your daily Adsense income continued to grow as you continued your hard work, experimented with different banners and ad types, created channels and added content, content and more content. Ok, so you took a hit, but you'll recover. Not the end of the world. Just dust yourself off and get back on the horse. It still beats working.

Latest Adsense Referral Pricing Slot
It was believed that generating income out of referrals was a tough job. Lol, for me it was almost impossible. But there is a good news now
Google Adsense has revised it’s pricing structure for adsene referrals.
Here are the details:
Adsense Referrals:
* When a publisher who signed up for Google AdSense through your referral earns their first $5 within 180 days of sign-up, you will be credited with $5.
* When that same publisher earns $100 within 180 days of sign-up and is eligible for payment, you will be credited with an additional $250.
* If, in any 180-day period, you refer 25 publishers who each earn more than $100 within 180 days of their respective sign-ups and are all eligible for payout, you will be awarded a $2,000 bonus (bonus payouts are limited to 1 per year).
Adwords Referrals:
* When an advertiser you refer spends $5 within 90 days of sign-up (in addition to the $5 sign-up fee) you will be credited with $5.
* When that same advertiser spends $100 within 90 days of sign-up, you will be credited with an additional $40.
* If, in any 180 day period, you refer 20 advertisers who each spend more than $100 within 90 days of their respective sign-ups, you will be awarded a $600 bonus (bonus payments are limited to 1 per year).
The rules however follow as they were in the TOS. you cannot click your own refferals and neither would you be paid by doing so. Banned! Probably yes!
The new pricing structure actually applies to the publishers who have reffered but who have not yet reached one of the new earning/spend thresholds.
That’s even cooler.
For me, well two days back, i removed referrals from all my sites. I though it was a waste of space.
Alas, back to work now and place all the referrals back again.

Adsense Retire
Last year seemed to be an experiment, when the New Pricing Structure For Adsense Referrals was introduced. However this year, Google Adsense has decided to end that price structure and carry on with the one they had previously. This did come as a unpleasant surprise for some. These pricing changes took place during the last week of January. A referred user who reached $100 within 180 days of signing up and who removes all payments holds before the change occurred, generated earnings of $250 for the referring publisher. Any referred user who met this conversion criteria after the change will only generate $100 in earnings for the referring publisher.
However there came a new addition to this news, which was rather disappointing and shocking. If you are an adsense publisher, and you’re not from North America, Latin America or Japan, then the referrals promoting Adsense, will retire soon for you! The reason for retiring Adsense referral for these countries has been stated in terms of “Not Meeting Expectations”. For some reason Adsense team were hoping much more better results from other countries which failed. So the decision of retiring Adsense referrals from rest of the countries had to be taken.However, all the other referrals for other products as Google Pack, Mozilla Firefox etc are still available in your Adsense Account. So it’s time that you replace the existing code of referral for adsense with some other referral code.

Is Adsense Go Down?
There's word around the Webmaster World forum that publishers have been experiencing a sharp decline in AdSense earnings over the past month. There's been little consensus, lots of possible explanations, but nothing you might call conclusive.
A small poll at Search Engine Roundtable (43 participants as of this writing) shows just over half reporting a decrease in AdSense earnings, the other half reporting that things are on the level or increasing.
It's hard to say that's a representative sample with just 40 respondents, but it does match a bit with the reports at Webmaster World: some are losing, some aren't.
Many plausible explanations have been proffered without any real, thorough site examinations, as no URLs have been given by those complaining. The center of conversation though, has been around Google's "smart pricing," and whether that is the cause of lower returns on ad clicks.
An ad's cost-per-click is determined by a number of factors, according to the AdSense blog's explanation:
"More than conversion rate goes into determining the price of an ad: the advertiser's bid, the quality of the ad, the other ads competing for the space, the start or end of an ad campaign, and other advertiser fluctuations."
Keep in mind also that Google has the leader in CPC inflation rate, also.
Google denies that clickthrough rates affect the price of an ad click, though they don't go into how much weight is put on user action beyond the click, i.e., sales completed, forms filled out, engagement on the site that follows. Google describes smart pricing this way:
"Google's smart pricing feature automatically adjusts the cost of a keyword-targeted content click based on its effectiveness compared to a search click. So if our data shows that a click from a content page is less likely to turn into actionable business results -- such as online sales, registrations, phone calls, or newsletter signups -- we reduce the price you pay for that click."
But observers are right also to note that the higher quality the site, the higher likelihood the publisher gets high quality, costlier, better-converting ads. AdSense Publisher Support pretty much says so, reminding publishers that content is king:
"[Smart pricing] leads to higher payouts for publishers by drawing a larger pool of advertisers and rewarding publishers who create high quality sites…. The best way to ensure you benefit from AdSense is to create compelling content for interested users.
"This also means driving targeted traffic to your site -- advertisers don't gain as much ROI when paying for generic clicks as they do for quality clicks that come from interest in your content. Good content usually equals a good experience for user plus advertiser, which can be much more valuable than CTR."
So, this is Google's usual stance: create some relevance and we'll help create you some revenue.
Things like that have added to the cynicism in the aforementioned forum, as one member notes the lack of examples to test, and, without naming names, notes that some complaining members' sites are nothing to write home about with potential quality problems like:
* Obviously made for AdSense (which implies lack of content)
* Too many ads, including unrelated ads (lack of focus on content, lack of central theme)
* Confusing layouts (not end-user focused)
Webmasters also reported conversations they had with the Google AdSense team, who told them the sharp decline likely has to do with advertiser budgets, many of which would understandably be tightened after the holiday crunch, and perhaps even more so during economic uncertainty.
So recession in the economy might mean recession in your AdSense take-in, too.
An interesting frustration was also presented. Google's smart pricing, according to forum members applies account-wide. A webmaster with many sites but one AdSense account could experience a hit on all of his or her sites, instead of just one or two. This brings down the revenue potential of the more popular sites the webmaster owns.
The suggestion, then, is that Google adjust so that smart pricing affects individual sites and pages, rather than targeting an entire account.

Avoid Fraud Click
Like in any other industry, fraud is not a new thing in Google Adsense. Although Google has made significant stride in addressing Adsense frauds, there is still so much that has to be done to protect the interest of advertisers. Apparently, it is the Adsense publishers who usually resort to cheating for the reason that Adsense is the best source of income for site publishers.
Adsense fraud comes in several ways. One way is through use of click bot software designed to commit fraud. Such software can be purchased online and can automate clicks. Another way is through deliberate and manual clicking of ads. In this way, friends and relatives with different IP addresses can be accomplices. Another form of Adsense fraud is when cheaters lure potential clickers of high paying keywords. To entice clickers, these people employ misleading items such as possible rewards and promotions, in exchange for Google ads clicks.
With the rampage of Adsense fraud, addressing the problem should not be just the concern of Google. Advertisers should also be proactive in doing their share. Instituting measures like the setting up of an ad campaign tracker software is one way to reduce fraud clicks. A tracker is a very potent tool for any site owner in monitoring site visitors. The tracker can also tell right on the first visit if a particular visitor is serious or just doing some clicks for fraud. In this way, tracker software serves as valid evidence for any site owner to convince Google that he is being cheated.

Probably what most internet users think as among the Google Adsense secrets is that Adsense leads to highly profitable keywords.

Useful Adsense Tips
Learning Adsense tricks should be mastered by every site owner. For beginners, this task is important, since this goal would help in building a website. Besides, most people outgrow the fancy of creating sites and instead build sites for money, thus they could choose between a single site for big profit or a hundred sites for a dollar gain.
Once the person has decided on the kind of website he wants, it's time to apply Adsense. Apart from its importance during at the start of the site's creation, Adsense could also be used once the site starts to receive high traffic. The first thing to do when applying Adsense is to get high hit keywords which are the ones to bring more profit to your site. But after sometime, an evaluation of keywords must be performed, since some keywords don't really earn anything and just clog traffic and space in the website. Thus, these keywords must be removed to prevent jeopardizing the site.
Another of the Adsense tricks concerns the location and sizes of the ads. Google advises that ads be placed both at the center and left portion of the web page, since these are the spots where ads are easily noticed. Ads also are visibly better if they come in sizes such as large rectangle 336×280, inline rectangle 300×250, or wide skyscraper 160×600.
Other useful Adsense tricks involve putting generic images on top of the ad to attract visitors and possibly, linking with other sites to generate more income.

Explore Adsense
Yes, there's no doubt about it, without traffic, your efforts are in vain. Simply pasting your adsense code into a generic looking web site will have little effect.
More importantly, targeted visitors are your focus. While you may have considered frauding the Adsense program for a quick buck by using clickbots, rotating IP's, etc, this short sighted strategy will have you banned long before your first check is issued.

Love Marriage
In life, there can be no greater destructive force in any relationship, especially in marriage than jealousy. It is a powerful yet negative emotion that is rooted on insecurity. Once a person is unsure of himself or herself, jealousy can easily seep in. The dangerous thing here is when jealousy that is not founded on truth can definitely ruin marriage.
The negative force that binds a jealous person is relatively difficult to deal with. In most cases, these “green-eyed” persons tend to shun away from the truth. In reality, to be jealous is normal. However, the point wherein the spouse will no longer listen to the truth and will only hold on to what he or she believes in even if those facts were not true is not acceptable. And if the spouse can no longer control his or her jealousy, the future of their marriage will be ruined. With jealousy, it is not surprising why the ratio of marriages to divorce nowadays is 2 to 1. It is no longer shocking why two million couples are getting a divorce every year.
The Solution:
Love in marriage should never be selfish and insecure. Married couples should never strive for their individual satisfaction. They should always make each other feel the love that binds them together. There are instances that a person cannot simply dismiss his or her jealousy. It is extremely important that they learn to keep the communications line open and tell their partners about the problem. It is not enough that jealous people try to stop assuming negative ideas. It is best that they tell their partners about them so that they can both work out some solutions to the problem. The difficulty with most married couples is that they are afraid to tell their partners the reason they are jealous, hence, miscommunication happens.
Researches show that married couples who do not have at least 80% open communication can expect the worst from their marriage. The bottom line is that jealousy should be resolved through proper communication. Let the other person know what you are jealous about. Make him or her understand how you feel about the past so that you can both create a good solution for the present. Best of all, try to make each other feel special and loved. Keep in mind that jealousy is basically rooted in insecurity. If a person who feels 100% assured that he or she is greatly loved by his or her partner, then, there is no room for jealousy, and their marriage will definitely grow old with them.

Make him or her understand how you feel about the past so that you can both create a good solution for the present. Best of all, try to make each other feel special and loved. Keep in mind that jealousy is basically rooted in insecurity. If a person who feels 100% assured that he or she is greatly loved by his or her partner, then, there is no room for jealousy, and their marriage will definitely grow old with them.

Google Got Award
Let's deal with the negative first. We don't feel that Google's results are as great as they have been in the past. We can't back this up with statistics. Despite Search Engine Watch's call for industry-agreed relevancy testing over a year ago, the search engines have taken no action on this.
Instead, our sense of Google being not as good as in the past comes from our own personal experiences and anecdotes from others we talk with or hear from. Seemingly unthinkable in the past, we occasionally find Google doesn't find what we are looking for today. And more often than in the past, we may try a Google alternative to locate information.
Onward to the positive -- and an incredible positive it is. Google remains the top choice for anyone who wishes to start their web search quest. Much more often than not, it continues to help you locate what you are looking for. The service has maintained the consistency of its search interface, a relief when competitors seem to be constantly redesigning. It has also maintained a generally high quality of results, making it still the touchstone to which its competitors aspire.
In the popular voting, Google won 70 percent of the 834 votes cast for a winner in this category, far outdistancing any others. This is despite much outcry at the end of last year by some marketers who lost free listings on Google due to a major algorithm change and claims that this change reduced Google's relevancy.
We received 50 comments in association with Google votes. Here's a sampling:
* You can't beat the speed and relevance of Google.
* Still the best, but recent Google updates have put businesses in peril. This may sway users to choose another engine over time. Results are also not as accurate as before.
* I teach Language Arts in a high school of 850 students grades 9 - 12. Every student in the school has to do a research paper every year...no exceptions. Not only is Google the [search engine] with the best results, but I love the advance search option...stops plagiarism in its tracks.
* I used to LOVE Google and overall, they are the best. HOWEVER - I am not impressed with my results since they had to remove that algorithm due to the patent issue. I cannot stand that when I'm searching for products, none show up except ads.
* I only use Google anymore, because the results are better and more applicable, without so much fluff!
* I have had only one choice for two years. Even with the Florida update stupidity, nobody compares or even comes close in relevance, reach, usability, honesty (sponsor ads not mixed in results, clearly labeled).
* I have two pages which are the best and the most important in their respective niches, and Google alone consistently places them top for the relevant search terms.
* I have been using Google since it was in beta test and it continues to amaze me with its accuracy, features, clean look, and overall usefulness. I have been a university reference librarian for over 30 years and NOTHING works better in the area of electronic resources than Google. Sergey and Larry deserve the Nobel Prize in something for doing so much for humanity.
* I am not sure any of them deserve the moniker "Outstanding," but Google seems to be the better.
* Google's still my number one, but its response time seems to have increased this past year. If I think it's getting too sluggish, I'll start using AllTheWeb more, and Teoma's an up-and-comer.
* Google just does it again. K.I.S.S. Keeps it simple, stupid, plus always looking for new ways, new features. I love that about them. They never lose touch with their customers.
* Google is getting overrun with people optimizing, so results aren't as good lately.
* Google - No portal rubbish; straight to search. AdWords can sometimes provide exactly the right results but are kept clearly separate.
* Despite some worries, Google continues its dominance as best search engine.
* Google still indexes new pages faster than any other search engine.
* Began the year great, but lost relevancy 2nd half.
* Despite complaints from high pressure marketers, Google's improvements are much needed by those who are honest and don't try their fancy tricks to get their SPAM listed.
We agree with our readers -- for the fourth year in a row, Google deserves to be named winner as Outstanding Search Service.

Adsense Alternative
A very important element in the rapid adoption of AdSense is that it has been very easy for publishers to get the ads on their site as quickly as possible.
Integrating AdSense in your website takes only a few minutes, and you can be on your way with one or more nicely integrated AdSense ads.
The first thing you need to do is navigate to http://www.google.com/adsense and either apply or log in with your existing account and password. What follows is a page presenting the Google AdSense Terms and Conditions which you must agree to in order to proceed.
You are presented with a report page which you can use to get a detailed status on how your AdSense advertising is doing. This allows you to improve your site's contents and layout to maximize your AdSense earnings.
On the top of your page you also have link to the setup section where you can generate the code that will need to be pasted on your website in order to have AdSense banners on your page.
You can use AdSense for text (the said ads), using a search box or with referrals. Your choice among these options depends on how users will navigate your site.
Finally, there is a "My Account" tab which allows you to set up details concerning your account, payment and tax information.
To add a text ad on your site, go back to the "AdSense Setup" tab and click the "AdSense for content" link. Make sure you have cookies enabled in your browser.
You can make a choice between ad units and link units. The former contain text and or images concerning a certain site for each unit, most with a detailed description, the latter only contain links to certain types.
Of course, it's a bit hard to know which type you should use so you should probably experiment with both for a while before you decide.
You can also view an example of how the unit will look to the right of your page. However, you may only use three ad units and one link unit on any given page. This is believed to be a step which Google takes for quality control.
The next step is to choose your add format and colors. You can basically select any color palette you choose with Google offering some of its own if you don't have the time or skill to create one. You can constantly view how the palette will look through the aid of an example. The one that works best in terms of appearance and revenues will vary with the look, feel and content of a website.
However, your ad formats are limited to a choice of eleven formats. There's an "Ad Formats" link which takes you to a page that lets you see all even of these in action so you can decide best which one suits your site. Sometimes the most intrusive, doesn’t work best however again, this can vary from website to website.
After you finish with customization, you can click "Continue" from the bottom of the page.
You are now presented with a section entitled "AdSense for Content". You can click anywhere in the text and that shows the JavaScript required to get AdSense running. This will automatically select the text in the box.
You can then copy it and paste it into your pages directly. If you use dynamic pages, you should paste this code within your template so as to ensure that it gets displayed on any page of your website. Some advertisers choose not to display Adsense on every page, and this is understandable. An example of this is a company that has adsense, may also have terms and condition which would inevitably provide legal resources which would probably be deemed inappropriate.
What is then left for you to do is get content on your page (provided you didn't have any already). Google AdSense crawlers will soon visit your site, making sure that the ads displayed are relevant to your site's content.
And you're all done. For a simple page this should indeed be a matter of a few minutes, which is precisely what makes AdSense the choice for so many. Although it is quick, its mass appeal also makes it the best. Through being the most popular, advertisers and publishers alike see Adsense and Adwords as their natural first choice.
You need to have optimized niche website templates for best results. You may find the best adsense templates and blog templates at www.AdsenseTemplates.com (http://www.adsensetemplates.com). They are offering 100 fresh new templates every month.

API Code - Adsense
The AdSense API:
If you're a web developer or host, you may remember that we introduced you to the AdSense API last May. With the AdSense API, your users can create their own AdSense accounts on your site, and display ads alongside the content that they have created. They can also manage their accounts and view ad performance and earnings reports, all on your site.
In addition, you can enhance your customers' user experience by helping them to make money from their content and by giving them the ability to perform many AdSense functions without ever leaving your site. For example, they can:
Create and manage AdSense accounts
Customize and implement AdSense for content ad units and link units, AdSense for search boxes, and referrals for products such as Google AdWords and Firefox
Generate URL and custom channel reports
Best of all, you get to make money with the AdSense API through the Revenue Sharing program. Advertisers pay your users and you when visitors click on your users' ads. Plus, you can earn Referral Payments when your users earn threshold amounts within their first 180 days after sign up.
Today, we're pleased to announce that the AdSense API is now open for all developers, with the release of our open development sandbox. This is a replica of the live service with some additional support to help you test and debug your applications. Once you implement the AdSense API in the development sandbox, we can go live with your implementation.
So now it's easier than ever to integrate AdSense into your website or online application. It took the folks over at Hubpages.com less than a week. We’ve expanded our developer’s guide and added more sample code to make seamless integration even easier.
Were you ready to start developing yesterday? Check out our Getting Started Guide and our FAQ. You’ll also find that the AdSense API Developer Forum is a great place to discuss the API and get answers to common questions.

Dollar Producing Factory - Adsense
An easy way to make money online is to use the Google AdSense program. You can make money by including simple text ads in your site’s content. When visitors click those ads, you share some of the money Google makes from the advertisers. It’s incredibly easy.
Placing AdSense ads on your site is trivial — it’s cut-and-paste. You don’t even have to worry about choosing the right kinds of ads — AdSense scans the page and chooses the right ads automatically. Getting started with AdSense is exceedingly simple.
No, what’s hard with AdSense is the same problem that all website-based content monetization schemes face: content and traffic. You can’t make money with AdSense without both. No content, no visitors — and no visitors, no clicks! It’s not hard to understand at all.
Successful AdSense publishers have multiple sites. They build “networks” of AdSense sites. Individually, each site may only earn a few dollars per day, but collectively those dollars add up quite quickly. Even 200 sites earning only $1 per day each can make you $6000 a month, which for some people is the equivalent of a full-time salary.
Is it easy to build so many sites? No, it’s kind of daunting. You need a lot of content. You need to find cut-rate web hosting and cheap domain names. You’ll want tools to create the sites.
Creating your AdSense network doesn’t take as much work as think it does if you follow a few simple tricks. The first is to minimize content: start out with small sites and see what works and what doesn’t. Then do everything you can to get visitors to come back, usually by getting them to sign up for a mailing list. Don’t forget to use affiliate links embedded in your content for extra income. And make sure all the pages link to each other and follow basic search engine optimization rules.
An AdSense content network is a business, and like any other business it benefits from having a business plan. You want to start small, with just a few niches. Then build on that business. Use the tricks just mentioned to reduce the effort required to create the network. Do the work, and in a few months you’ll have a wonderful AdSense business.You may wonder what exactly is traffic exchange programs. Blogexplosion is one of the popular traffic exchange programs. Now, I’m not saying Blogexplosion is bad service. Instead, it helps in getting traffics to your website. However, if you’re putting Adsense on your site it may not be suitable to use such service.
Recently in April 12, Mike Deeringer from the AdSense Publisher Support had stressed the importance of this point.
As many of you already know, our program policies strictly prohibit any means of artificially generating ad impressions or clicks, including third-party services such as paid-to-click, paid-to-surf, auto-surf, and click-exchange programs. These programs offer incentives for users to view web pages or click on ads, resulting in activity that is harmful to our advertisers.
We occasionally receive questions from publishers interested in using traffic exchanges to bring traffic to their site. While these services may help advertise your site, we don’t recommend using them, as they may also result in similar invalid activity.We realize that you may have questions about a specific traffic service and whether it could potentially create invalid impressions or clicks. However, please understand that we’re unable to comment on any particular third-party service.
According to Mike, it didn’t really say which third-party service you shouldn’t use but it is stated implicitly that all type of traffic exchange programs will end up being banned from the big G.
To avoid being banned, think twice before joining any traffic exchange programs.so as far as possible try to stay away from auto-surf programs or traffic exchange programs.

Simply Adsense
Unbeknownst to many of us, to start a business online and make a secondary or primary income is easier than most people imagine. If you are serious enough you can learn to make a thousand dollars within a week to a month. All you need to start is probably less than a couple of hundred dollars! I’ve known a couple in Australia who knew little about the internet but within two years were making $250,000+ per annum. There is even an apparently ordinary guy in Singapore who makes $549,000 within six months after mastering the knowledge in a few years.
Amazing as it may seem, all you need to start with is a computer which most homes have; a few softwares, most of which are free and a little knowledge which you can gather from google or any other search engines.
So what are the some easy steps to start an internet business so that you can start making money online. I would trace below the money making secret steps below with the advice that you can find any information you need on the internet. (Just go to www.google.com and type the keyword or phrase on google search and you will find a wikipaedia’s worth of internet information or online information.)
The first step begins with you deciding on what you want to sell on the internet. You can sell information products or physical products. It would be good if you sell something that you love or excites you or that you know much about. In internet terms when you look for these kinds of products you are said to go into an affinity market; a market that has an affinity to you in terms of your expertise or natural inclination. You can do a kind of brainstorm with your friends or family members; they tend to know best what you are good at or love.
Having chosen your affinity market so to speak, you now need to go and do some market research. With the information highway on your computer screen, this is very simple to do. Just go to a search engine like google and type in the words for the products you are looking for on google search and this will lead to a list of websites. Most, if not all the websites, will display the product(s) you are looking for. This exercise will reveal to you what people are looking for or selling in relation to your search.
Now that you have found your market and the products you wish to offer to satisfy your market, the third step is to set up a shop on the internet. This is simply called a website. Your website is therefore your shop in the internet world, so to speak. To many, putting up or creating a website is like building your own motor car! It seems horrifying! And yet it is so simple that a novice friend of mine when given some instructions actually put up a website within days! Some people would even charge you $5,000 to build one for you.
Don’t be fooled! It is so easy to create your own website if you are told how. In fact if you are an affiliate of information products, you don’t even need to have a website to make money. Most affiliate program merchants would even set up a website for you for free if you sign up as their distributor. They are most eager to teach you everything you need to know to help them sell their products. By the way, the commission for selling other people’s products can be as high as 75% to 90%. Not bad eh!
One simple way to set up your own website is to go to www.Nvu.com and find instructions within the software website itself or google to learn how to use it. If you know how to use Microsoft Word, you will find NVU easy.
Before you set up your website however you must give it a name and register it. This is called the Domain name and you must buy it. It can be as cheap as $1.99 and never more than $10 for a year. You can go to www.smallbusiness.Yahoo.com, www.godaddy.com, www.namecheap.com. Now that you have bought a domain name, you can start creating or get a free website.
Now that your shop is up and people are visiting to buy your products, the last step you would want to take is to automate your business so that the business can go on without you attending to it 24/7. This process is called duplication. This process involves having a management software that can communicate with your customers on a frequent basis automatically both to build a long term relationship with them and to promote new products to them. The software that does this is called an auto-responder. You need to subscribe to one though and they charge a fee ranging from $20 up on a monthly basis. The one I use is named monsterresponse.com and is the best and cheapest I have found so far. The other is www.Aweber which has the best reputation but maybe a little pricier. Again it is easy to learn how to set up an auto responder. You find the instructions either with the auto-responder company or on the internet.
What the auto-responder really does is to send automatically a series of email letters from you either offering information or products to your customers. It also allows you to collect the names and emails of your customers and store this in the system. This list of subscribers to your site becomes the vital list that will ensure of constant business for you throughout the lifetime of your website. It would take a little while to build this list and the speed at which you build it depends how creative you are in your traffic building campaigns.
Now that you have got a shop, namely, your website, the fourth step is to promote it in the internet. This is known in internet as creating traffic i.e. getting visitors to your site. Again you can learn more about this from any number of sources on the internet. Just go to google search and type traffic and you will get a wealth of information on traffic generation information.
There are two ways you can get traffic, generally. You pay for it or borrow it. To pay for traffic, you go search for google adwords, MSNAdCenter, Yahoo and do what is known as a ‘Pay-Per-Click’ (PPC) campaign, a sort of advertising campaign in the internet. Google adwords will teach you in a simple manner, the process to go about a google adword campaign. If you follow the instructions diligently you can almost master the process within an hour or two. You can then apply your knowledge to other PPC programs in other Search Engines like MSN or Yahoo.
The another step now is to find the actual product that you want to offer to the market. Like any offline business you can do one of two things:Sell other people’s product as a distributor (in internet terms, you choose to be affiliate of an internet merchant). Remember, you either sell an information product or a physical product. For information product, go to Clickbank.com where you will find many who offer affiliate programs for their products. As to how to go about being an affiliate, clickbank has a comprehensive Q&A section that answers everything that you need to know. As for physical products, go and look for the term ‘dropshippers’ in google and you would find all the products you need. Dropshippers are merchants who are looking for affiliates or internet distributors to sell their products. Most of their websites will explain in detail how you can join them and go about as an
Amazing as it may seem, all you need to start with is a computer which most homes have; a few softwares, most of which are free and a little knowledge which you can gather from google or any other search engines.
So what are the some easy steps to start an internet business so that you can start making money online. I would trace below the money making secret steps below with the advice that you can find any information you need on the internet. (Just go to www.google.com and type the keyword or phrase on google search and you will find a wikipaedia’s worth of internet information or online information.)
The first step begins with you deciding on what you want to sell on the internet. You can sell information products or physical products. It would be good if you sell something that you love or excites you or that you know much about. In internet terms when you look for these kinds of products you are said to go into an affinity market; a market that has an affinity to you in terms of your expertise or natural inclination. You can do a kind of brainstorm with your friends or family members; they tend to know best what you are good at or love.
Having chosen your affinity market so to speak, you now need to go and do some market research. With the information highway on your computer screen, this is very simple to do. Just go to a search engine like google and type in the words for the products you are looking for on google search and this will lead to a list of websites. Most, if not all the websites, will display the product(s) you are looking for. This exercise will reveal to you what people are looking for or selling in relation to your search.
Now that you have found your market and the products you wish to offer to satisfy your market, the third step is to set up a shop on the internet. This is simply called a website. Your website is therefore your shop in the internet world, so to speak. To many, putting up or creating a website is like building your own motor car! It seems horrifying! And yet it is so simple that a novice friend of mine when given some instructions actually put up a website within days! Some people would even charge you $5,000 to build one for you.
Don’t be fooled! It is so easy to create your own website if you are told how. In fact if you are an affiliate of information products, you don’t even need to have a website to make money. Most affiliate program merchants would even set up a website for you for free if you sign up as their distributor. They are most eager to teach you everything you need to know to help them sell their products. By the way, the commission for selling other people’s products can be as high as 75% to 90%. Not bad eh!
One simple way to set up your own website is to go to www.Nvu.com and find instructions within the software website itself or google to learn how to use it. If you know how to use Microsoft Word, you will find NVU easy.
Before you set up your website however you must give it a name and register it. This is called the Domain name and you must buy it. It can be as cheap as $1.99 and never more than $10 for a year. You can go to www.smallbusiness.Yahoo.com, www.godaddy.com, www.namecheap.com. Now that you have bought a domain name, you can start creating or get a free website.
Now that your shop is up and people are visiting to buy your products, the last step you would want to take is to automate your business so that the business can go on without you attending to it 24/7. This process is called duplication. This process involves having a management software that can communicate with your customers on a frequent basis automatically both to build a long term relationship with them and to promote new products to them. The software that does this is called an auto-responder. You need to subscribe to one though and they charge a fee ranging from $20 up on a monthly basis. The one I use is named monsterresponse.com and is the best and cheapest I have found so far. The other is www.Aweber which has the best reputation but maybe a little pricier. Again it is easy to learn how to set up an auto responder. You find the instructions either with the auto-responder company or on the internet.
What the auto-responder really does is to send automatically a series of email letters from you either offering information or products to your customers. It also allows you to collect the names and emails of your customers and store this in the system. This list of subscribers to your site becomes the vital list that will ensure of constant business for you throughout the lifetime of your website. It would take a little while to build this list and the speed at which you build it depends how creative you are in your traffic building campaigns.
Now that you have got a shop, namely, your website, the fourth step is to promote it in the internet. This is known in internet as creating traffic i.e. getting visitors to your site. Again you can learn more about this from any number of sources on the internet. Just go to google search and type traffic and you will get a wealth of information on traffic generation information.
There are two ways you can get traffic, generally. You pay for it or borrow it. To pay for traffic, you go search for google adwords, MSNAdCenter, Yahoo and do what is known as a ‘Pay-Per-Click’ (PPC) campaign, a sort of advertising campaign in the internet. Google adwords will teach you in a simple manner, the process to go about a google adword campaign. If you follow the instructions diligently you can almost master the process within an hour or two. You can then apply your knowledge to other PPC programs in other Search Engines like MSN or Yahoo.
The another step now is to find the actual product that you want to offer to the market. Like any offline business you can do one of two things:Sell other people’s product as a distributor (in internet terms, you choose to be affiliate of an internet merchant). Remember, you either sell an information product or a physical product. For information product, go to Clickbank.com where you will find many who offer affiliate programs for their products. As to how to go about being an affiliate, clickbank has a comprehensive Q&A section that answers everything that you need to know. As for physical products, go and look for the term ‘dropshippers’ in google and you would find all the products you need. Dropshippers are merchants who are looking for affiliates or internet distributors to sell their products. Most of their websites will explain in detail how you can join them and go about as an
Make Money with Adsense
Google Adsense is a free method to make some cash online, many of the internet marketing begins from Google Adsense. Once you got you account, just copy the adsense code past to your websites, when some visitors come to your sites, if they click the Google Ads You make Money of Lot!!!
Welcome To Our Google Adsense Team:
Google Adsense is a great way to generate income for your website if you are willing to put up advertisements for other companies. Adsense is also a great way for a business to advertise at a low cost and generate more traffic to their site. Regardless of which side of the fence you sit on, it is important that Adsense results are targeted. I will discuss how this benefits both the advertiser and the business that is doing the advertising. Let’s say you have a business and you are allowing advertisements for other businesses to be posted there through Adsense. The only way you make any money is if the advertisement is targeted towards something the consumers viewing your website are interested in. It only makes sense for the ads to be in the same ballpark as what you offer but not an ad that directly competes with what you are offering.
On the advertisers end, Google Adsense is a great way to get more traffic to their website. They also only pay for each click that links back to there website from the ones where the ads are posted. Behind the scenes, a lot of hard work and time are investing in advertising. What good does it do if no one looks at the ads? There would be no logic to advertising sports cars on a website that is for children or advertising chocolate on a website for diabetic supplies unless the candy is for diabetics, then we have something to work with!
Google Adsense from Google has a great system they work with. The more information a business gives them when they sign up either to advertise or to host advertisements, the better the target will be met. Adsense works hard to match advertisements with what the various websites are offering as well as the target age group. Their data is also based on what the consumers out there are looking for. They are very aware of consumer trends. The goal is to get advertisements of the websites that appear natural to the consumer. It is also out of respect. Who wants to go online for a pair of running shoes and see ads for adult products and websites? Keywords are very important when it comes to Google Adsense. This helps the system match up advertisers and advertisement hosts by comparing the keywords. The more keywords you enter when you complete your application at Adwords, the more matches will be provided. Content on your website is important for getting advertisements to host on your website. In fact, the more content you have the more advertisements will come your way. This is because the robots of the Adsense program at Google will pick up on this additional content. You can also place more keywords if you have more content.
Google Adsense can work very well for you as an inexpensive way to get more advertising for your business. This is done by paying other websites to host your advertisements. You will pay them a set amount each time a consumer clicks the ad from their website linking to yours. As an advertisement host, Adsense is a great opportunity to make money. The key for both parties to benefit the most is by targeting the results. This includes using keywords and coding to get particular ads and to prevent advertising for something you don’t want on your website. Section targeting is also a great way to get the results you are looking for. This method allows you to suggest particular portions of your text that is part of your website to Google. You can request that they generate advertisements for your website to host based on that material and content. Section targeting is very simple to implement as it only involves adding certain html comments to the html code of your website. You also have the ability to ask Google and the Adsense program to ignore particular portions of material and content on your website that you do not want to offer advertisements.

How to create a mobile version of your blog

mobile-editionDo you visit many blogs with your mobile phone? If you do, you’ll undoubtedly have noticed that most blogs are simply not intended for viewing on a phone’s small screen.
My blog is no different. Indeed, the design elements - banner image, sidebar, graphics and badges, overall layout, etc - make this blog a wholly impractical place to go to via just about any mobile phone.
It’s designed for display on a computer screen.
What’s needed is a version of your blog that is designed for display on a mobile phone and other small-screen mobile devices.
That means a focus on displaying the content (the text) in a way that’s easy to read on a small screen, easy to navigate it using a typical phone’s small buttons, and display hyperlinks in a way that makes it easy to spot them.
It also needs to be quick to load over the comparatively slow connection speed of a cellular network, or even the comparatively faster speed that you might get with a wi-fi-enabled mobile phone.
All this needs to be available in an easy-to-create way that doesn’t require you to spend hours coding and creating a mobile-specific version of your blog.
You’re in luck if you’re a WordPress user - there is such a tool. It’s a plugin called WordPress Mobile Edition, created by Alex King (one of the most generous contributors to the WordPress user community).
This plugin is simplicity itself. Upload the files, activate the plugin, and that’s it - the mobile version of your blog is done. It works (and looks) a treat as the photo suggests. Download the zip file and follow the simple instructions.
Having an easy-to-use version of your blog for small-screen mobile devices is becoming more important if you want to make your site easily accessible to visitors no matter what device they use to connect to the net.
Something else to think about, too. With a mobile-ready version of your blog, the focus is on your text content and what you say, not how it’s presented. As with subscribers to your RSS feed, no one will see the cool design you might have for your site.

1.5 Billion Mobile Internet Users
Market Intelligence and research firm IDC released some data from their Digital Marketplace Model and Forecast which should put a smile on everyone's face who is in the mobile content space.
From the release:
Nearly a quarter of the world's population - roughly 1.4 billion people - will use the Internet on a regular basis in 2008. This number is expected to surpass 1.9 billion unique users, or 30% of the world's population, in 2012, according to IDC's Digital Marketplace Model and Forecast.
"The Internet will have added its second billion users over a span of about eight years, a testament to both its universal appeal and its availability," said John Gantz, chief research officer at IDC. "In this time, the Internet has also become more deeply integrated into the fabric of many users' personal and professional lives, enabling them to work, play, and socialize anytime from anywhere. These trends will accelerate as the number of mobile users continues to soar and the Internet becomes truly ubiquitous."
While the PC is currently the dominant means of gaining access to the Internet, IDC expects the number of mobile devices accessing the Internet will surpass the number of online PCs by 2012.
Additional highlights from IDC's Digital Marketplace Model and Forecast include the following:
* Users will access the Internet through more than 1.5 billion devices worldwide in 2008, including PCs, mobile phones, and online videogame consoles. By 2012, the number of devices accessing the Internet will double to more than 3 billion, half of which will be mobile devices.
* Roughly 40% of all Internet users worldwide currently have mobile Internet access. The number of mobile Internet users will reach 546 million in 2008, nearly twice as many as in 2006, and is forecast to surpass 1.5 billion worldwide in 2012.
* The most popular online activities today are searching the Web, finding information for personal use, using Internet email, accessing news and sports information, and accessing financial or credit information. In addition to these activities, more than 50% of online users worldwide are using instant messaging and playing online games.
In case you need any help with the math,
1.5B people connecting to the Internet from their mobile phones.
50% play games online.
That sounds like at least 750M mobile gamers worldwide. My research shows the current number of mobile gamers worldwide at 165M.

Test Your Website on Mobilephone
Lately there is a lot of buzz about .mobi domains and making websites compatible with people browsing from mobile phones. Personally, I believe that this issue is important for mainstream websites like Google or The New York Times, while small publishers (read you and me) still have at least one year before they need to pay attention to the problem.
Regardless of that, however, it might be interesting to check how your website would look on a mobile phone. The dotMobi company has an useful online emulator that does just that. You need to type the URL and you will see a mobile phone on the screen displaying your site. You can even screen down using the keyboard of the virtual phone.
Daily Blog Tips was displayed correctly (i.e., it was readable), but I think it might be related to the clean design that I am using. I wonder if more elaborated themes would encounter problems.
