Layout Tips to Maximize Adsense CTR Click

June 3, 2008

Picture of adsense layout tipsOn Positioning. you need to add your Adsense links right in the heart of your template, right in the heart of your content.

The introduction of Google Adsense ‘link units’, now can be added what looks like a ‘menu system’ to compliment your menu system within your website. Have you ever just clicked on a website and kept clicking on the menu links? I know we all have (beware of invalid clicks on adsense). And by adding a ‘Google link units’ to your menu, hope that you will get more clicks than you thought.
Try add the link units near the top of your website for better performance and try create your link units matched with the color of your menu system in place.
Once, I find myself clicking on a menu link unit without even realizing it which in turn gives more money to the website owner.

The Leaderboards & Skyscrapers may very well be your “bread & butter” because of the sheer size of these ads units. The best place to add these ad units is obvious; Straight across the very top of your website for leaderboards, and straight down the side of your template for skyscrapers. Anywhere else may not look proper within your template and may look unprofessional.

The Square & Rectangle Ad Units are great to compliment the mass amount of content within your website and also within your resources. You want to compliment your content and don’t want Adsense to be your content because this make it look poor on your part.
Square and rectangular units are great to use within articles posted on your website or within your link resources. Try adding your Adsense boxes above your resource links within a page and give your Adsense account extra exposure.

Invalid Clicks on Adsense, What To Do?

May 29, 2008

Picture of Invalid Clicks on AdsenseHave you ever clicked your own adsense ads on your own website? I think I’ve made it too. Couple days when I try edit one of our website, accidently I clicked the adsense ads on one of my page.
Actually I’m not sure that I’ve made the click but the Adsense Tracker script that installed on that page reported there’s 1 click happened from the page.

And off course I woried about the status of my adsense account regarding the invalid click, and then I emailed Google Adsense Team. I gave them my Adsense Tracker report. On the report written the time the click happen, the IP address and kind of browser used.
And check what Google Team wrote me for the reply:

==================================================================
Thanks for letting us know about the clicks on your ads. We appreciate your honesty and your continued efforts toward avoiding such clicks going forward. I can confirm that your account is currently active and in good standing.

To help you on your way, we offer the AdSense Preview Tool which will allow you to check the destination of ads on your page without the risk of invalid clicks. For more information, please see: https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/topic.py?topic=160

For additional questions, I’d encourage you to visit the AdSense Help Center (http://www.google.com/adsense_help), our complete resource center for all AdSense topics. Alternatively, feel free to post your question on the forum just for AdSense publishers: the AdSense Help Group (http://groups.google.com/group/adsense-help).
==================================================================

Thanks God, they understand and keep monitoring the situation, that’s what we need to make us more comfort on partnering with Google Adsense.

I know there are some Adsense publisher out there that banned (as I read on some webmaster forum) and didn’t know why they’re banned. I think before you going too far with this Adsense invalid click, you must prepare yourself and also keep monitoring your own account.
Open your Adsense account and see for the clicks generated on the report, if there’s a suspicious activity on it, feel free to email the Adsense team.
You can also install adsense tracker script on your page, I know there are many kind of this script sold out there. It could help you to monitoring the clicks and hopefully, could avoid your adsense for being banned by Google.
Always email Adsense team, they will be happy to guide you for the rest.

How to Make Money from Expired Domain?

May 27, 2008

Picture of expired domain with PRWhen I started to sell expired domain with Pagerank, I feel that I’m going to make few bucks. But when I tried to promote it to Digitalpoint Forum, some people asked me about the purpose of those expired domain with Pagerank. And I think I’ll try to answer that question here.

Expired domain with Pagerank is domains that will expired in some fashioned time and you are lucky if those domain having a Pagerank on it. I’m sure that you already know about Pagerank (PR). According to Wikipedia, Pagerank is a link analysis algorithm that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of “measuring” its relative importance within the set, Sounds complicated, huh? I won’t discuss it here either, lol!

Back to the advantage of expired domain with Pagerank, some people tried to have it because lately it’s getting harder to achieve a good PR. Therefore, I tried to compile list of expired domain with Pagerank on it and sell it to you.

Expired domain with PR also can be used for Paid to Review (PTR) program. In one of my favourite PTR program, website with PR 2 was valued $5 per post review. And for website with PR 3, you can get $10 per post review. It was the minimum price actually, and it’s different for every PTR third party.
Even I could get $40 per review for PR 4 website, read here for my experience.
I’ll post some PTR list here later.

Also, with Pageranked domain, you can sell links to other website. There are many third party that you can join for this purpose, such Backlinks, TLA, etc. Monthly my income from selling links (not on this domain) is around $70-$100 per domain website.
Another advantage of expired domain with pagerank is that you can use it for parking domain business, but you must check it’s alexa rank before you decide to buy the domain.

Maybe some visitor here could add their own experience on using the pageranked domain for your website monetizing program. Feel free to share it here!
It’s better to develop an expired domain than a new one, yes, you know why! And don’t forget to buy expired domain with pagerank and make more money from internet. Good luck!

Starting a Home Based Internet Business

May 24, 2008

Picture of starting home businessFor a lot of people the daily grind of working 9 to 5 wears on you after a few years. The tell tale signs of burn out are extended lunches, clocking in five minutes late, leaving five minutes early and a notable lack in work quality. When you begin to show all these signs it is time for a change. The problem comes in that you have bills, you have a family, and you have a life to maintain. This is where so many people get stuck in the daily rut of 9 to 5 and never seem to get out.

Well the Internet is a great way to make changes in your life and your income. The Internet offers a world of opportunity to anyone who is willing to work hard and put in extra time to build a home based Internet business.

One of the hallmarks of the Internet is it is traditionally less expensive to start a home based business than it is to set up a shop in your local town. You are able to work from your home with the computer you already own and slowly add new websites. The cost is minimal and the rewards are limitless.

To start with you will need to sign up as an affiliate marketer. Affiliate marketing is where you sell other peoples merchandise on your website and you earn a commission for each sale.
You will then need to find a hosting company to host your new websites. The cost for hosting can vary a great deal so look around and do not go for the first bargain you find.

Next you will need to purchase a domain name (such luxdomain.com). Shop around most domain names will cost around $7.00 per year. If you are finding a domain name purchase that is a great deal more than other companies you may be spending too much.

Then you will need to find software to build your website. You can use simple text pad types of software that are free on the Internet (such Wordpress)or more elaborate software that costs several hundred dollars. You will need to search around and find software that matches both your budget and skill level.

Finally you will need to purchase FTP software or find free FTP software on the Internet. Then simply build your website with the products you want to sell and start blogging and pinging. The traffic to your website may take a few months to build but if you keep at it you will quickly begin to make money online so you can leave the daily 9 to 5 grind.

Giving Your Online Business Powerful Domain Presence

May 14, 2008

Picture of business domainWhat’s the one make-it-or-break-it item that your online business needs to stand out from the crowd and become a huge success?

The right domain name!

The domain name is what people type in when they want to get to your site; the part that comes after the http:// or the www. It’s your virtual real estate address. Having something they can remember without looking it up each time or keeping it in their bookmarks to be lost among the others is the best thing you can do to get repeat visitors and word-of-mouth free traffic.

People say that all the good names are gone, but that’s about as far from the truth as you can get. Here are some simple guidelines that will make your domain name — and your business — popular and memorable web destinations.

1. Choose a Dot-Com

The number one rule is, go for the dot-com ending, which is typed as .com. This is the Main St. of the virtual real estate world, and the one that most people will type in regardless of what your domain extension actually is. While .net and .org were popular for awhile, and then .us, .biz and .name took the stage, people always revert back to .com — no matter how many fancy country code top level domains are launched into the mainstream, like .cc, .ws, .to, .cn and others.

2. Choose something memorable

You want your business name to be your domain name too, if possible. So if your flower shop is called Suzette’s Flowers, you want to get suzettesflowers.com, assuming it’s available. If not, try adding a dash, like suzettes-flowers.com or a secondary descriptive word like suzettesflowersonline.com or prettysuzettesflowers.com. If you’re creative, you’ll definitely be able to come up with something that works with your business name and is memorable for your customer.

Keep in mind that if you use a dash in your domain name, which some Search Engine Optimization experts say attracts more free traffic to your site, you have to say the dashes if you use your domain name in an audio product or commercial; so it would be “suzettes dash flowers dot com”.
Most people typing in your domain name later will not type the dashes.

3. Get another variation

If you’re lucky enough to grab a great domain name without the dashes, then you might want to get the same name with dashes between the words as well. You can put both of them up on your server as mirror sites to get the benefits of SEO as well as the ease of typing without the dashes.

You may also want to consider getting the .net or .org or even another extension to use as a sister site for your main dot com site… perhaps you put your forum on the .net, or use your .com for your main product and .net for your business background information site.

Even if you’re looking for a domain name that you don’t really think will be available, using your creativity and trying a variety of combinations should allow you to lock down a memorable domain name that will attract people to your website.

Click2sell Better than Clickbank, Why?

May 5, 2008

Compare Click2sell to Clickbank imageThere is a new affiliate program that is similar but better than Clickbank. The whole function is pretty similar, with a marketplace etc. Click2sell is like paydotcom but they allow unlimited product selling unlike paydotcom who charges a fee after the first product. They give paypal and moneybookers options and credit card processing facilities. They pay you instantly to your choice of payment system. You can also choose to pay affiliates using either Paypal or Moneybookers if you want to have affiliates.

The benefit of Click2sell compared to Clickbank and Paydotcom:

1. Click2sell has no setup fees and low transaction charges also
2. Up to 95% commissions (but I highly doubt that any merchant will offer such high commission rate)
3. 6 (Six) months cookie tracking
4. Multicurrency (I have been looking for this because currently USD is falling) - including Euro and GBP.
5. Can receive payment through Moneybrookers and Paypal.
6. Currently there are 468 products, should be increasing more in the future.

Anything else yo want to add? Or just join and see how it really works!
