Adsense Insider Part 1

I would like to share this email from Adsense; Enjoy!
Welcome to your AdSense Insider course Hazel
First here's a link to an online presentation by Google about AdSense - the system that lets website owners make money automatically.
This presentation is aimed at advertisers but it gives you some idea how seriously Google takes its AdSense program.
http://www.factsaboutadsense.com/rgooglepresentation.htm
Note: all this course is available online too. It is better viewed online because the online course includes demos that work and illustrate features of AdSense.
Here's the link to the first day
http://www.factsaboutadsense.com/day1a.htm
Let's get going
AdSense is Google's syndication program for its AdWords advertisements so first up, you need to understand AdWords to make sense of AdSense.
*******
AdWords
*******
AdWords are small text-only ads that sometimes appear on the right hand side of Google's search results page when you do a search.
They are extraordinarily powerful - MUCH more so than you'd think at first sight - for 5 reasons.
1. They are 100% targeted: the advertiser chooses which keywords have to be entered before their ad is shown. This means that you can make your ad appear ONLY in front
of people ACTIVELY LOOKING for information about a topic.
You sell binoculars? Then you can set up your AdWords ads
so that they show up ONLY when someone enters "Binoculars"
into Google's search box.
You can also restrict your ad coverage to specific countries.
2. You only pay for click thrus. If no one clicks on your ad you don't pay anything but...
3. Google penalises ads that don't work well because it wants only ads that are RELEVANT to the viewer to be seen. Poorly performing ads get disabled automatically. This protects Google's brand from being sullied by irrelevant ads.
4. Google lets advertisers rotate different ads for the same keywords and AUTOMATICALLY shows the most effective ad more often. Thus there is an in-built survival of the fittest process going on where fitness is judged by real consumers voting in real time.
If they click, your ad stays. If they don't, it doesn't.
Evolution can be extremely brutal - and fast!
5. Google gives advertisers incredibly detailed near real-time
response data so you can monitor and adjust your ad without
wasting much money.
*******
AdSense
*******
So where does AdSense come in this?
Well, Google has taken their excellent AdWords program and extended it to non-Google web sites and branded it AdSense.
***************
Key distinction
***************
However, AdSense differs from AdWords in that Google, instead of looking at the search terms entered into its search box to determine what ads to show, looks at what keywords would be relevant to the web site the ads are to go on.
Example:
If you have a site rich in content about binoculars, AdSense technology determines that it would be an appropriate site to post AdWord ads about binoculars on. (Google uses its existing page ranking technology to assess a site's content.)
There's a good example of AdSense in action here on a web page about web hosting.
http://www.1stprofitprograms.com/Web_Hosting.html?1
This AdSense technology is called "content-targeting".
*******************************
How you make money with AdSense
*******************************
The process is simple.
You sign up for AdSense and if your site is accepted, (we'll cover this process later in the course) Google gives you some code to paste into your web pages. It's
JavaScript stuff that you can simply add into the HTML of your page.When someone views your page this JavaScript fetches ads from Google. If they then CLICK on your ad, Google charges the advertiser a click thru fee and shares it with you.
This is entirely AUTOMATIC so if you have a content rich site with lots of traffic that is not currently making you any money, AdSense is something you should seriously consider.Now maximising this process is much harder and it raises what I call the content dilemma which we'll explore later too:
Is your site designed to earn AdSense revenue or
is its main objective something else?
So that's the background to AdSense.
***********
Tomorrow we'll look at ways to maximise the amount of money that Google sends you.
There are two pretty complex processes going on behind the scenes that we will examine, paying particular attention to those things that are within your control. Not everything is!

Best wishes until then,

Arrests under state of emergency defended


SATURDAY's arrests following President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's declaration of a state of national emergency are not without basis and has "sped up" the resolution of pending cases against some personalities, two government lawyers said.
"There was speeding up of the resolution [of the cases] on the part of the investigators," Chief Presidential Legal Adviser Eduardo Antonio Nachura told INQ7.net when asked how the arrests against partylist Representatives Crispin Beltran (AKBAYAN) and Satur Ocampo (BAYAN) were related to Arroyo's issuance of Proclamation of 1017.

Beltran was arrested in Bulacan early Saturday but Ocampo managed to elude his captors when they tried to detain him during an opposition-sponsored forum at the Sulo restaurant in Quezon City. Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez said the arrests were based on intelligence reports although he admitted that he was not consulted when these were carried out. Gonzalez also said that the list of those who would be arrested was with the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA). "We [the Department of Justice] will only enter the picture once a complaint is filed," he told INQ7.net in a separate interview.
Nachura said that based on information that he had gathered Beltran and Ocampo had pending warrants of arrest but at the same time admitted that the timing by which these arrests were made were “suspicious.”
Nonetheless, Nachura said the arrests could have been done with or without Proclamation 1017 “as long as there was already a warrant of arrest issued by the judge on the case.”
Beltran was arrested for an inciting to sedition charge that was filed against him in 1985, according to the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), which arrested the lawmaker.
It was not clear however what case had been filed against Ocampo and when a warrant had been issued against him.
Presidential Chief of Staff Michael Defensor said Friday that following the President's declaration of a state of emergency in the country, warrantless arrest could now be effected.
Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said Proclamation 1017 did not authorize warrantless arrests, “except as provided for in the Rules of Court.”

ELvish name game...

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

What a day!!!

I sit here staring at my computer.....silence....a couple of clicks to other sites and then what? silence... I hum a few lines or two, then click again ..... Then, wait for the call to make my day or break it. As a call center agent or for a customer service officer, I get used to scolded every hour and getting cursed and being yelled at by people I dont know and dont even care to know...(who cares?) Its just a package deal at least im paid to get all the yells and the cursing, I guess its a sort of a counselling here in this area that im into. I just hope that people would feel better after saying those words, I hope they feel happy and satisfied and contented.
Sometimes it just reveals the worst or the best of me, depending on the mood, but generally I fight back and retaliate. I mean, hey i just human, i get hurt with all those things you say just to hurt me. Then, I wake up to the reality that hey come on this is part of your job. In fairness to other callers, some are nice and well mannered.Sometimes or most often I go home with a heavy heart, I feel tired and sick of this routine for almost seven years of my working here. I have no choice, even though they say I got the worst job in the world Im just proud of it. I understand why people get mad when they dont have dial tones or when they have no internet connection, of course they pay for it and they deserve the best best service we could give. But there is no such thing as a perfect system, there are system failures that would cause such and then the calls start floodin'.

The world has become a race, that people have lost the patience to wait they start yelling and worst shouting and ended up saying words I know they might regret in the end. Well, the more I get bombarded with all of these negative truths I have lost my sensitiveness, I dont care if you shout or yell, if u can wait good, if not, then better. But, not that bad as you think I am, but I guess its what they call coping. Coz' if i dont sweet lemon or i dont sour grape, I dont know. Im like doing a free verse poem here, just types what ever comes to mind, a way of releasing......What a day!!!!

A New kind of Breast cancer...



A friend emailed this to me; I thought its an information worth sharing.

Please forward to all of the women in your lives . Mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, friends, etc.

In November, a rare kind of breast cancer was found. A lady developed a rash on her breast, similar to that of young mothers who are nursing.

Because her mammogram had been clear, the doctor treated her with antibiotics for infections. After 2 rounds, it continued to get worse, so her doctor sent her for another mammogram. This time it showed a mass.

A biopsy found a fast growing malignancy. Chemo was started in order to shrink the growth; then a mastectomy was performed; then a full round of Chemo; then radiation. After about 9 months of intense treatment, she was given a clean bill of health.

She had one year of living each day to its fullest. Then the cancer returned to the liver area. She took 4 treatments and decided that she wanted quality of life, not the after effects of Chemo. She had 5 great months and she planned each detail of the final days. After a few days of needing morphine, she died. She left this message to be delivered to women everywhere:

Women, PLEASE be alert to anything that is not normal, and be persistent in getting help as soon as possible.
Paget's Disease: This is a rare form of breast cancer, and is on the outside of the breast, on the nipple and aureole It appeared as a rash, which later became a lesion with a crusty outer edge. I would not have ever suspected it to be breast cancer but it was. My nipple never seemed any different to me, but the rash bothered me, so I went to the doctor for that. Sometimes, it itched and was sore, but other than that it didn't bother me. It was just ugly and a nuisance, and could not be cleared up with all the creams prescribed by my doctor and dermatologist for the dermatitis on my eyes just prior to this outbreak. They seemed a little concerned but did not warn me it could be cancerous.

Now, I suspect not many women out there know a lesion or rash on the nipple or aureole can be breast cancer. (Mine started out as a single red pimple on the aureole. One of the biggest problems with Paget's disease of the nipple is that the symptoms appear to be harmless. It is frequently thought to be a skin inflammation or infection, leading to unfortunate delays in detection and care.)

What are the symptoms?

1. A persistent redness, oozing, and crusting of your nipple causing it to itch and burn (As I stated, mine did not itch or burn much, and had no oozing I was aware of, but it did have a crust along the outer edge on one side.)

2. A sore on your nipple that will not heal. (Mine was on the aureole area with a whitish thick looking area in center of nipple).

3. Usually only one nipple is effected. How is it diagnosed? Your doctor will do a physical exam and should suggest having a mammogram of both breasts, done immediately. Even though the redness, oozing and crusting closely resemble dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), your doctor should suspect cancer if the sore is only on one breast. Your doctor should order a biopsy of your sore to confirm what is going on.

This message should be taken seriously and passed on to as many of your relatives and friends as possible; it could save someone's life.

My breast cancer has spread and metastasized to my bones after receiving mega doses of chemotherapy, 28 treatments of radiation and taking Tamaxofin. If this had been diagnosed as breast cancer in the beginning, perhaps it would not have spread...

TO ALL READERS:

This is sad as women are not aware of Paget's disease. If, by passing this around on the e-mail, we can make others aware of it and its potential danger, we are helping women everywhere.

Please, if you can, take a moment to forward this message to as many people as possible, especially to your family and friends. It only takes a moment, yet the results could save
a life.

I Just turned 30 yesterday :(



We know we're getting old when the only thing we want for our birthday is not to be reminded of it--Author Unknown
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. ~Lucille Ball
I just turned thirty yesterday. I celebrated it a day before ( February 14) with another celebrant with office mates. Despite my reluctance to celebrate it on the day of my birthday close friends surprised me with a party, complete with three kinds of cakes( chocolate moist cake, refrigerator cake and yummy pink cake), pansit, lechon manok, liempo and baked biko. I appreciated their gestures. I was really touched with the presents and the presence of my dear friends.

I just dont know why I felt scared about being 30, it must be something else, or the thought that am near the end of the calendar days, or the idea that im young no more. You dont have to tell me im old, im aware.

Please enjoy Mikey's Ultimate Guide to Coping With Turning 30 Years Old:*Don't look at it quite like a birthday as much as a free pass to cry your little eyes dry for all the failures you've tallied in your life.
*Don't shower for a week, then blame the terrible odor surrounding you on the stink of old age.
*Buy a t-shirt that says "Old Fart." Whenever anyone comments on it, get horribly offended that anyone would dare to refer to you as that old.
*Dye your hair grey and show up for work telling people that this was the way you woke up on the morning you turned 30.
*Send an e-mail to all of your friends telling them that you no longer wish to be addressed by your first name. "From now on you may refer to me as Mr.," so-and so.
*Announce to your family that you're on your last leg and they should go on without you.
*When you end conversations with people, give them a hug and say, "just in case I never see you again, promise me you'll take care of yourself. PROMISE!"
*Wear a helmet to work. Tell people you don't trust your aging and decaying body.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. [2 Corinthians 4:16]

Love is....

Banner 10000141

Love is eternal -- the aspect may change, but not the essence There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work. ~Vincent Van Gogh

Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting forhim. Later, when he finished more than half of the paddy field, he start to realize that the paddy is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knowhe has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.
The teacher told him, this is love... you keep looking for a better one,but when later you realize, you have already miss the personThe student asked: What is marriage then? The teacher said: In order to answer your question, go to the corn fieldand choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn backto pick.

The teacher told him, this time you bring back a corn.... you look forone that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get.... this is marriage Be courteous to all , but intimate with few , and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Next Generation of Children















Children are contemptuous, haughty, irritable, envious, sneaky, selfish, lazy, flighty, timid, liars and hypocrites, quick to laugh and cry, extreme in expressing joy and sorrow, especially about trifles, they'll do anything to avoid pain but they enjoy inflicting it: little men already. ~Jean de La Bruyère, Les Caractères, 1688

Last January 19, 2006, I recieved a letter from Adsense informing that my account was dsicontinued due to invalid clicks. I was really devastated and really felt sorry for myself and didnt know what to do, i was wondering who made those invalid clicks. I was sure I didnt made any illegal actions to deserve it. So I i wrote a letter to Adsense and explained my side. The reply took a few weeks and I was asked to make an appeal letter addressed to another group also from Adsense. I made the letter gieven them all the information they need and then one week later I recieved the letter below.
