Thank you google, I got my ads back.

Im so happy.

Im so so so happy, I wanna cry. The hopeless blogger in me found hope when I got my ads back. Wew! That was close and Im just glad and so super doper ultra mega hyper happy. I know back then how it felt when I got banned from google. It was a tragedy and I was really in state of shock. And I said to myself it wont happen again.

This time, thankfully I was not banned. Thank God. The problem was that I forgot my password and it was the time that I panicked and that was last night. The hopeless blogger in me, experimented with themes and so I lost my other gadgets on the blog and so I have to put them all again thats why I ended up losing my ads forever.

I was about to give up, but I didnt lose hope. I just keep on clicking and typing passwords to remember but it was nothing. Until there was this cellphone verification and Im glad I was able to update it with the current number that I have. Please dont be like me.

So lesson learned:

1. If you have adsense please update your information there, update your cellphone number. It was good that I was able to do that because I myself even forgot the password to my adsense and even forgot my own email password.

2. Write your password on your blogging notebook. You must have a blogging notebook, its important for us to have this kept and remembered and written, with all those passwords and usernames.

3. Dont panic. It would only cause a strain in your heart. Just take your time and think think think on how to solve the problem. And thats what I just did.

4. Last lesson, I know youre a blogger and you want nice templates, but in my part, I guess I will have to settle this one coz it fits me well. I have to be content or else im going to ruin my hopeless blogger appetite.

Thank you

So much

I'm back!!!!

Well, well, missed you all a whole lot! I lost motivation to blog when Adsense disabled my account for the second time around. Yikes, it was when I was already earning a couple of dollars when the auto hits got me BULLSEYE! I thought it was something that could keep me earning more but I was wrong. It was considered by Adsense as invalid hits and then what! I dont know. ut, now realized it wont stop me from blogging, its hopefully a revival. Im just happy my officemate Yvonne got her PIN for her account.

Adsense Insider Part 5

final part...
Getting Accepted into Google AdSense
This is the last day of the AdSense Insider course and we are going to put it all together here so that you can be up and running in a day or so from now.

I said earlier that there are things you can do if you find your site is not accepted by Google and by far the most useful thing to bear in mind is that Google seeks out information. So unless your website has a lot of information in it, you probably won't get accepted.

Now as you can imagine, this is not a clear cut issue.

Who decides whether your site is information rich or not?

Automatic Site Assessment
The answer is that in the first instance Google's own spider, the software that scans your site, is the first judge. If it 'thinks' your site is content rich then you will pass the first hurdle. And this is where some sites fail.

The spider is an automated system and it makes quick, not always accurate judgements which gives you the first clue about getting your site accepted:

If your site is rejected fast by which I mean within a couple of hours or so, it has probably been rejected by Google's spider on the basis that it doesn't understand what your site is about too clearly or it hasn't found much content.

So you will have to get to work and add content - write further copy relevant to your main them, scan the web and find good articles to post (but make sure you get the appropriate permissions). All this will help.

And then submit again.

BE WARNED: there is a rumor going round that one site was rejected and it simultaneously got dropped from a previously high ranking on Google's search results page. It's only a rumor, but be warned.

Similarly, if your site is accepted fast, it will almost certainly have been accepted automatically.

Human intervention
However, there appears to be a middle case where the spider is not sure whether your site qualifies or not. And in this instance, the site is referred to a human who makes the final decision.

FactsAboutAdSense.com passed straight through the acceptance process because it has a load of content in it, has a clear theme running right through the site and is designed to move up the search engine ranks too.

Tip:-
If you are thinking of applying for AdSense, check out sites that compete with your own for traffic and see if any of them have been accepted. If they have, compare the content in them to your own to see if you exceed theirs. (This is quite a subjective process but it can help you)

If you are rejected, you can always apply again.

Multiple sites
Google actively discourages you from running several AdSense accounts on different sites. I'm not clear why they do this at the moment apart perhaps from saving operational costs involved in printing and posting checks. However, you can run the same AdSense code on a range of sites that you run. You can also monitor your earnings from each site if you use Google's Channel system - I explain this in detail in my book.

Well that's the end of the course. I hope you now feel better informed about Google's AdSense system.

Best of luck with your own program.

and best wishes to you.

continuation.....

AdSense JavaScript
Today we are going to deal with the process of implementing AdSense into your site. Of course, you first of all need to get accepted into the AdSense program.

Assuming your site has made the grade, you will get an email from Google with the title "Welcome to AdSense". This will include a link to a page on Google where you enter your username and password. Make your password non-obvious because, when you log on to your account, you say where the money goes and you don't want someone else redirecting it do you?

Included in your AdSense control panel is a form where you specify what shape of ads you want to display and, when you make your selection, some JavaScript code appears in a box below.

All you need to do is cut and paste this code into your site. But there are some decisions you need to make first.

There are three steps.

Decide which pages you want to place AdSense ads on.


Decide what format ads you want on each page.


Paste the code in the site

Where to place your ads
Do you want AdSense ads on your home page?

This depends on what your site is about.

Remember, unless you are writing a site specifically to get AdSense revenues, the main aim of your site is not going to be getting clicks that TAKE PEOPLE AWAY from your pages because every click on an AdSense ad does exactly that.

The best place to put ads is on content-rich pages that you already have but which are not producing any revenues for you.

Adsense Insider Part 3

continued....We saw yesterday that AdSense revenue was controllably dependent on

• Click thru rate - you need to encourage those clicks- but watch out you don't break Google's rules.
• Click thru price - have content relating to high value keywords
• Page traffic - more visits equals more clicks

The focus today is on Page traffic.

I don't know how much traffic your site currently gets but you probably want more. However, there are two different sorts of traffic

1. The casual visitor who is not going to do much, is click/trigger happy and won't hang around and doesn't come back.
2. The keen, genuinely interested, active site participant. This is the sort of traffic you want to get and keep because your job is to develop a relationship with this type of visitor - not a one-night stand.

Why?

Because people who visit your site frequently are going to be interested in what is on it and this interest will extend to your AdSense ads - that's what Google does for you automatically.

Interest = clicks
Clicks = money

They'll also come back of their own accord and each time they do, they might see another interesting ad too.

That thinking has helped us define who we want but we now have two tasks ahead:

1. Getting these people to visit your site the first time.
2. Getting these people engaged in the site so that they remember it, like it and come back frequently

Let's look at the first of these.

Adsense Insider PArt 2

Continued email from Adsense.
First an apology: there's a bit of math ahead!

Yesterday we looked at AdWords and learnt how AdSense is Google’s AdWords syndication program that posts AdWords ads on content-targeted websites: Ads about binoculars appear on web pages with information about binoculars on them.
It makes sense doesn't it!
Today we are going to look at the factors that affect how much money you will get from Google if you sign up (and are accepted for) the AdSense program, paying detailed attention to those areas that are controllable - because many aren't.
The AdSense revenue equation
Revenue is generated for you when someone clicks on an AdSense ad on your site. Google charges the advertiser for the click thru and shares this revenue with you.
The amount you earn from an ad is given by the following equation
Income PER AD =
Click through price (also known as Cost Per Click)
X Fractional pay out
X Click through rate
X Page traffic
X Appearance frequency
The COST PER CLICK is the price the advertiser is bidding to place an ad under the AdWords program and is determined by a complex real time automatic auction process: Google advertisers set a maximum price they are prepared to bid for keywords and they usually pay less than this. The lowest bid in the UK is 4p and in the USA is 5c so if you get clicks on these ads you're not going to make much money.

The FRACTIONAL PAYOUT RATE is the percentage of its revenues that Google pays out to AdSense partners. THIS FIGURE IS NOT DISCLOSED BY GOOGLE. However, anecdotal evidence suggest the payout rate is good and competitive systems such as 7search.com payout around the 50% mark.

CLICK THROUGH RATE is the number of times the ad is clicked on divided by the number of times it is displayed (“impressions”).

PAGE TRAFFIC is the number of times people visit your web page.

APPEARANCE FREQUENCY is the number of times a particular ad appears on your page (remember that ads are rotated by Google automatically and successful ads are shown more often.)

To repeat: this is income PER advertisement, so to calculate your total AdSense income you need to evaluate this equation for each ad on all your web pages and add up the results.

By the way, Google saves you the bother and tells you the answer in the reports it gives you.

But already the complexity of the process is apparent and of these factors, some are completely out of your control: Fractional payout rate and Appearance frequency being two.

So let’s look at those three factors that are at least partially within your control.

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,
