3 Simple Things That Violate The Google TOS

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

Every experienced Internet marketer knows that monetizing a website is something that needs to be done correctly. There are plenty of ways to accomplish this but Google Adsense is the most common method for making money through a blog or website. It’s popularity is mainly due to the fact that it is incredibly easy to integrate into different types of websites and you can use it to start earning immediately. However, in order to really reach your potential using the AdSense program you need to understand that the program has strict rules and you are required to follow them. When you fail to do so, Google may simply shut down your account. Here are three mistakes that most AdSense publishers admit to making. If you want to use Google adsense to its full effect make sure that you utilize it to advertise new product launches such as The Profit Spy.

The first Google AdSense mistake that you need to avoid is launching a new webpage when your ad is being clicked. The point is, your AdSense ads should open on the same page. That’s right: you aren’t allowed to have different landing pages for your advertisements.

This is because Google is trying to offer advertisers the best return on their investment by not allowing users to drive visitors away from their ads. So, in order to assist Google give the best service to their advertisers you’ll need to avoid doing anything that affects the quality of the ads being served. The second mistake that you need to avoid is changing the AdSense code. Google does give you the ability to do limited customization to your Adsense ads such as changing colors or border styles. So, whatever you want to do, do it outside the code, but never try to mess with the ad in any way. There is only so much the code can do, and if you change it they’ll know something’s up. As stated, but we’ll say it again, you’ll be banned from Adsense; plus the code will more than likely stop working. Therefore, work within the boundaries that are given to you so that your account is safe and your earnings are not affected. Google adsense is by no means , a brand new form of marketing , but it is still very powerful and new launches such as the The Profit Spy launch will be using it.

Tracking your content is very important. This is important because Google’s rules forbid placing ads on non-content-laden pages as well as on pages that have content that violates the TOS of the Adsense program. This includes content that is related to pornography, violence or anything illegal. Google is very strict about this rule and will ban any account they find to be in violation of it.

In conclusion, these hints will help you stay within the boundaries set out by the Adsense TOS when you use the ads on your blog or site. When you look closely you’ll see that it isn’t hard to follow these rules and that doing so can raise your earnings potential.

Make Money Hands Free With AdSense

Friday, November 12th, 2010

Google Adsense is the most tried, true and sturdy form of website monetization on the internet. Even if your website is already monetized through other methods like affiliate programs, PPS, banner and text ads, there is still room for Adsense. Some webmasters have found ways to earn a living on line using only Adsense and nothing else. If you approach it correctly, anybody can realize that goal. The following are three steps that you can take to learn more about the program and get it to work for you so that you can achieve financial freedom. If you wish to use Adsense to its full effect make sure that you use it to promote new product launches such as 5 Minute Membership Sites.

One of the fastest ways to gain more money from Adsense is to blend your ads with every other part of your site, from the design to the content you choose. It’s a great way to get more click throughs because your ads won’t look like ads so people won’t be apprehensive to click on them. You may have to play around with styles and colors, but eventually you’ll find the perfect one that will blend in nicely with your website.

So you’re actually enticing people to click on your ads because they’ll think it’s just another part of your site. This should in no way be considered cheating those people who come to your site, but rather it should be looked at as a way to give people ads they might like. So spend some time in designing your ads so that you can make them stand out in a unique way. This is easy to do and it will increase your Adsense income in no time. As an AdSense advertiser, you should know the value of using ‘channels’ effectively. Ignoring your channels is not very smart because if you do so you won’t be earning your full potential. Tracking is something that should be a part of every marketing strategy because it helps you raise your click through rate. Channels will allow you to figure out how your ads are performing by categorizing their content. You can figure out which ads make the most money by using this opportunity to track things. You don’t have to use any sort of third party software for ad tracking because channels does that for you. Adsense is in no way , a brand new form of marketing , but it’s still extremely effective and new launches like the 5 Minute Membership Sites Bonus launch is going to be using it.

Finally, if you want to get targeted ads on your website by using AdSense, you need to make sure that you focus on a single tight theme. The content on your site shouldn’t be vague; it should focus on one theme. When you target a popular topic, you’ll receive ads that are highly relevant. This is just one reason to focus on creating really great content so that your income will increase. You should also use keywords that match your incoming links’ anchor text.

In conclusion, every successful webmaster/Internet marketer that has made AdSense work for them knows that in order to really extract money from this advertising program, you need to keep these simple things in mind.

Making Google Adsense Pay

Monday, October 19th, 2009

From what I am reading in online forums and discussion boards, Google adsense is still ruling the roost, in terms of popularity, for those wanting to start earning money from home.

I personally, have Google adsense ads on most of my websites and I find that even with the lowest of daily impressions an income can be earned. Ok you won’t make a fortune with a few hits per day but if you are constantly building websites and optimizing them for adsense then the income can REALLY add up.

A few of my most recent websites are only getting 10-20 impressions per day but really high click through rates. Some days I can earn $2-$3 per site for a couple of clickthroughs from these low traffic sites. This denotes HIGH interest from advertisers paying big bucks to Google for certain keywords.

Unbelievably, many entrepreneurs are earning six figure incomes per month from adsense revenue alone.

The smart earners are building site after site then building out the ones that show potential.

The idea is to set up sites in relatively unknown markets but also balanced with some interest in the advertising field. For instance, if you choose a niche with little or no interest from advertisers then the income will reflect this lack of interest, ie. no one will be paying google for advertising in your niche or they will be paying very little and you will earn pittance per click thru.

One site of mine in an obscure niche gets hundreds of unique visitors per day and loads of adsense clickthrus, yet the income is only a dollar or two daily. This tells me that advertisers are paying very little, probably in and around 10 cents, for keywords in my niche.

At the other end of the spectrum you DO NOT want to choose a niche with so much competition that you cannot get any traffic at all. The “work at home”, “home business”, “internet marketing” niches are not good examples for a newcomer to make money from Google adsense. The competition is just too great. If you DO already have an established home business site then by all means add some adsense ads to your site.

Like everything else I have done online I have learnt through trial and error, Google adsense has been no different. If you don’t put the ads out there then you will never know the potential.

I do get some clickthrus from my home business sites and the click thru rates can be anything from 10-15 cents to $1-2. Not bad!

Google adsense is definitely here to stay for the forseeable future and we can all see why. If you have any vision at all you can see the potential in earning from Google adsense and exactly why it has become so popular.

$1 Million in Google AdSense Earnings

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

They are calling him the million dollar man. Jason Calacanis recently revealed in his blog that he is on track to earn a million dollars from AdSense over the year ahead.

And if that number doesn’t wake you up and have you sitting on the edge of your seat, consider for a moment that he reached this level in less than a year. His company only started using AdSense in September 2004.

Calacanis runs Weblogs Inc., a network dedicated to creating trade weblogs across niche industries. And he’s quickly proven that AdSense is a credible advertising partner.

As their network has grown, so has their AdSense revenue. In January 2005 they earned an average of $580 per day. In March it was $737. In May it was $1,585. One day in July, just before he made the blog entry referred to above, they earned $2,335. Remember that is just for one day.  If they can take that daily average to $2,740 they’ll be earning a rate of $1 million for a year. And Calacanis predicts that reaching daily earnings of $3,000 or even $5,000 is quite achievable.

That’s quite an achievement. Keep in mind that Calacanis has 103 bloggers on the payroll and nine staffers. Even so, many webmasters would give an arm or a leg to have even a third of that.

Google’s AdSense has been revolutionary. It has become firmly established as the darling of the online advertising industry. Although rumors are heard of major competitors launching a similar service, AdSense’s premier position seems secure for now.

In essence, AdSense has made it possible for almost anyone with a web site or blog to earn some revenue from advertising, without having to employ sales people or spend precious time searching for advertisers. 

AdSense works like this. Webmasters sign up for an account in just a few minutes. They receive a small snippet of code to include on their web pages. Google will then automatically serve advertisements that are relevant to the content on the webmaster’s pages. When someone visits the webmaster’s site and clicks on one of Google’s AdSense advertisements, the webmaster earns a fee. Advertisers can pay anywhere from five cents to a hundred dollars per click, and the webmaster receives a percentage of that fee.

Many webmasters are content with earning five to ten dollars from AdSense to cover the cost of web hosting. But many, unsurprising, have higher ambitions. At a popular WebmasterWorld forum, participants share tips and encouragement on reaching a goal of $300 per day from AdSense. So it is no wonder that Calacanis created quite a buzz when he made his million dollar blog entry.

Google have proven once again that they excel at designing innovative Internet services. If you are in the web industry and have not yet used AdSense, then perhaps you should try it out. Or if you are already using it, perhaps Calacanis’ impressive results will encourage you to track the performance of your AdSense units more closely, fine tune their positions and formats, and take your earnings to a new level.

Major Pitfall to Avoid While Using Google Adsense

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Anyone using Google Ads is aware of the great potential of income by way of visitors visiting your website or blog and clicking on one of the Google Ad Links and registering a payment in your Google Adsense account, sounds simple.

The major hurdle for people is getting that website traffic to your site, and reading the various information guides on the internet will provide you with practically thousands of useful ways of generating traffic such as keyword rich web pages, article writing and reciprocal linking to name but a few.

But people must also realise there are actual ways on the internet that are expressed in articles as being the golden ticket to riches, which are in fact the sure fire and quickest way to get yourself banned by Google, ruining any potential of you making a decent income from your website, and people must be aware of the problem outcome.

From my own experience when first starting out with Google Adsense, I found myself to be very impatient at the fact that I may have to work at my website for possibly years to generate enough traffic to click on my ads and earn me a decent income from my website. So being frustrated at this lengthy procedure, I embarked on searching Google for possible quick fix methods which would start traffic flooding to my website and greatly increase the potential of visitors clicking on my Google Ads.

The method I fell upon was the TRAFFIC EXCHANGES, which guarantee visitors to your site in exchange for you visiting other people sites. Some of these TRAFFIC EXCHANGES operate with Google Ad clicking in mind, promising no guarantee that people would click on your Ads, but you will see an increase in Google Ad clicking.

Being stupid and impatient and at the time not realising I was doing anything really wrong I joined ten of these TRAFFIC EXCHANGES and built up my traffic credits every day for a month and sure enough I got thousands of visitors and quite a few clicks on my Google Ads, it wasn’t thousands of dollars but it was enough to put a smile on my face.

Then like a bolt of lightening from the heavens, a nice little email came from Google expressing they had been detecting invalid page impressions from TRAFFIC EXCHANGES and if this was to continue they may have to ban my account.

Now I tell you I immediately went to all them TRAFFIC EXCHANGE accounts and promptly deleted my urls to my Google Ad site and ceased the use of these traffic programs straight away. Sure the traffic to my site dropped to under ten a day, but I felt very lucky and relieved that Google had not banned me permanently from the Google Adsense program.

The trouble with the terms and conditions at Google Adsense, is it does not clearly state what is illegal page impressions and it wasn’t till I received this email that I realised I was doing anything wrong, and im pretty sure that many webmasters out there have had the same conclusion and have not been as lucky as me and have had their Google Adsense accounts permanently closed.

This articles main purpose is drive a point home, if you’re wanting to make an income from Google Adsense, then the slow methodical approach of adding keyword rich web pages and writing and submitting articles over many months will eventually start giving you that much needed traffic and hopefully reward your hard work with enough Google Ad clicks to give you that dream income. DON’T CHEAT!!
