Adsense Secrets Revealed

Adsense is really making a huge impact on the
affiliate marketing industry nowadays. Because of
this, weak affiliate merchants have the tendency to
die faster than ever and ad networks will be going to
lose their customers quickly.
If you are in a losing rather than winning in the
affiliate program you are currently into, maybe it is
about time to consider going into the Adsense
marketing and start earning some real cash.

Google is readily providing well written and highly
relevant ads that are closely chosen to match the
content on your pages. You do not have to look for
them yourselves as the search engine will be the doing
the searching for you from other people’s source.

You do not have to spend time in choosing different
kind of ads for different pages. And no codes to mess
around for different affiliate programs.

You will be able to concentrate on providing good and
quality content, as the search engines will be the
ones finding the best ads in which to put your pages
on.

You are still allowed to add Adsense ads even if you
already have affiliate links on your site. It is
prohibited, however, to imitate the look and feel of
the Google ads for your affiliate links.

You can filter up to 200 URLs. That gives you a chance
to block ads for the sites that do not meet your
guidelines. You can also block competitors. Though it
is unavoidable that Adsense may be competing for some
space on web sites that all other revenues are
sharing.

Owners of small sites are allowed to plug a bit of a
code into their sites and instantly have relevant text
ads that appeal to your visitors appear instantly into
your pages. If you own many sites, you only need to
apply once. It makes up for having to apply to many
affiliate programs.

The only way to know how much you are already earning
is to try and see. If you want out, all you have to do
is remove the code from your site.

The payment rates can vary extremely. The payment you
will be receiving per click depends on how much
advertisers are paying per click to advertise with the
use of the AdWords. Advertisers can pay as little as 5
cents and as high as $10-12, sometimes even more than
that too. You are earning a share of that money
generated.

If your results remain stagnant, it can help if you
try and build simple and uncluttered pages so that the
ads can catch the visitor’s eyes more. It sometimes pay
to differ from the usual things that people are doing
already. It is also a refreshing sight for your
visitor once they see something different for a
change.

Publishers also have the option of choosing to have
their ads displayed only on a certain site or sites.
It is also allowed to have them displayed on a large
network of sites. The choice would be depending on
what you think will work best for your advantage.

To get an idea if some Adsense ads you see on the
search engines has your pages, try to find web pages
that have similar material to the content you are
planning to create and look up their Adsense ads.

It is important to note that you cannot choose certain
topics only. If you do this, search engines will not
place Adsense ads on your site and you will be missing
out a great opportunity in making hundreds and even
thousands of dollars cash.

It is still wise to look at other people’s information
and format your Adsense there. Just think about it as
doing yourself a favor by not having to work too hard
to know what content to have.

Topic to be avoided includes gambling, firearms,
ammunition, tobacco or drugs. If you are being offered
more cash in exchange of doing Adsense with these
kinds, it is just like signing your own termination
paper.

With all the information that people need in your
hands already, all you have to do is turn them as your
profits. It all boils down to a gain and gain situation
both for the content site owners and the webmasters or
publishers.

Make other people’s matter your own and starting
earning some extra cash.

Most webmasters know that Adsense generates a sizeable
source of additional advertising income. That is why
most of them use it to go after high paying keywords.
They have with them the lists that tells what the
keywords are and have already used various methods of
identifying them. And yet, after putting up these
supposed-to-be high paying keywords into their pages,
the money they expected to come rolling in is not
really coming in.

What is it that they are doing wrong?

Having the pages is with the proper keywords is one
thing. But driving visitors to those pages is another
matter and often the factor that is lacking.

The thing is, to get visitors to your high paying
keyword pages, you need to optimize your site
navigation.

Stop for a moment and think about how visitors are
using your website. After a visitor has landed on a
certain page, they have the tendency to click on
another page that sounds interesting. They get there
because of the other links that appears on a page that
they initially landed on. This is site navigation. It
is all about enabling visitors to move about your
site. And one way of maximizing your Adsense
earnings.

A typical website have menu links on each page. The
wording on these links is what grabs a visitor’s
attention and gets them to click on one of the links
that will take them to another page of that website.
Links that have “FREE’ or “download” are oftentimes
good attention-grabbers.

This navigation logic can also be applied to driving
traffic to your high paying pages. There are some
websites that are getting a lot of traffic from search
engines, but have low earnings. The trick is to try and
use come cleverly labeled links to get the visitors off
that pages and navigate them to the higher earning
ones. This is one great way of turning real cheap
clicks to real dollars.

Before you begin testing if this same style will work
for you and you website, you need to have two things.
Something to track and compare and some high earning
pages you want to funnel your site traffic to. An
option is to select a few of your frequently visited
pages. This is ensuring fast result to come by.

Now, the next thing to do is think of ways to get
visitors viewing a particular page to try and click on
the link that will take them to your high earning
pages. Come up with a catchy description for that
link. Come up with a catchy and unique description for
the link. Think of something that people do not get to
see everyday. That will trigger their curiosity enough
to try and see what that was all about.

You can also use graphics to grab your readers’
attention. There is no limitation to what you can do
to make your link noticeable. If you are after the
success of your site, you will do everything it takes
just to achieve that goal. Just be creative. As far as
many Adsense advertisers are concerned, there are no
written and unwritten laws to follow regarding what
they write. Just as long as you do not overstep the
guidelines of the search engines, then go for it.

Also remember that it is all about location, location
and location. Once the perfect attention grabbing
description has been achieved, you have to identify
the perfect spot on your page to position that
descriptive link to your high paying page.

There is nothing wrong with visiting other websites to
see how they are going about maximizing their site
navigation. “Hot pages” or “Most read” lists are very
common and overly used already. Get to know the ones
that many websites are using and do not try to imitate
them.

Another way of doing it is to try and use different
texts on different pages. That way you will see the
ones that work and what does not. Try to mix things
around also. Put links on top and sometimes on the
bottom too. This is how you go about testing which
ones get more clicks and which ones are being
ignored.

Let the testing begin. Testing and tracking until you
find the site navigation style that works best for you
site.

One of the early participants in contextual advertising was Google, with its AdSense program. With this program, Google shares pay per click revenue with a huge number of individual partner websites that carry a few pay per click ads that are distributed by Google. In essence, this creates a whole bunch of little pay per click locations (websites) throughout the Internet. Yahoo has a similar program called Yahoo Publisher Network and there will be many more contextual advertising programs in the future.

Conceptually, programs like Google AdSense and Yahoo Publisher Network are similar to what the computer hardware folks refer to as distributed processing. Instead of trying to draw everyone to a large pay per click search engine site, little groups of pay per click ads are spread widely across thousands of locations (websites) distributed all over the Internet.

Actually, this distributed processing or propagation technique is not limited to pay per click advertising. For example, Amazon uses a similar arrangement (called Amazon Associates) to sell the products it carries on amazon.com and ClickBank has a sales program called CBAdwords which operates in a similar fashion.

According my trusty Ouija board, it seems likely that most commercial hubs on the Internet will be shifting to this propagation concept as time progresses...all of those individual partner websites that carry the message/proposition will constitute the vast army of worker ants that keep the queen ant alive and healthy.

From a pay per click marketing perspective, these programs make brilliant use of leverage while providing highly targeted prospects for the paying advertiser.

There are, of course, some interesting things that occur as a result of all of this stuff. For example, consider what I call the "cross fertilization effect": Suppose a person goes to yahoo.com and performs a search that leads them to one of my websites that happens carry Google AdSense ads and that visitor then clicks on one of those ads...the net result is that Yahoo natural search provided Google pay per click with some revenue! Aren't these fun times that we're living in?

As these programs continue to proliferate, the individual webmaster needs to exercise a little restraint and avoid the temptation to go overboard by plastering these ads all over your website and thereby diluting your own primary message/proposition and confusing your hard earned visitor. When properly used, these ads are just ancillary or complementary content that you are providing to enhance the information and opportunities that you are providing to your visitor...if something happens to strike a responsive chord with your visitor, you might make a little pay per click money.

If properly used, these propagation programs can result in the classical "win-win" situation. However, if you over do it, this can quickly turn into a loss for you (the individual webmaster) and a win for your pay per click partners that are distributing the ads. As in many things, moderation is important.

It's a constant sea of change, but the good things just keep on getting better! Stay alert, and light on your feet, and the opportunities will just keep on coming your way.

The above are just some observations from "the peanut gallery", but I don't think I'm far off the mark about where things are heading. With that, I'm off the soapbox and wishing you success in whatever you do online!

Your domain name is the .com, .net, .org or some other dot something that people use to get to your web site. affiliateblog.com is mine.

A group of investors headed by Jake Weinbaum (the guy behind Disney's go.com) paid $7.5 million for the name Business.com back in 1999, aiming to make it a showcase B2B site. According to their own press they have succeeded. Yes, it's a terrific name -- short, sort of descriptive and easy to remember. There's some cachet there, but is it $7.5 million worth? That cash could have bought a lot of promotion or branding for whatever name they could have had for ten bucks, or a hundred, or two hundred grand.

Each year for 15 years The first $500K in profit goes toward amortizing the cost of that domain name. That could also pay for a terrific affiliate program, a truckload of banner and PPC advertising, and a nice BMW lease for Mr. Weinbaum (who probably doesn't need a BMW).

But the Business.com thing has set off a wave of domain name speculation that staggers the mind. People are snapping up domain names and ransoming them off to wide-eyed entrepreneurs with business plans and dreams of riches. Being a hardcore capitalist I am torn about domain name speculation -- I am tempted to applaud the person making a buck by getting there first and grabbing up the good names, but I am annoyed at the restraint of commerce that takes place while someone negotiates with one of these guys to get the right name.

So if I look at the top 50 websites on Alexa, most of them should be easy to remember names, right? Wrong. I would argue that only one, match.com, is an easy-to-remember name that describes what the site is about.

I keep hearing that the reason these so-called generic or descriptive domain names are so valuable is that some people just type domain names into the address bar of their browser rather than using a search engine. This fact seems to be intuitively false. I find it hard to believe that someone looking for information on a particular business would type in www.business.com. Furthermore, if I look at the top 50 websites on Alexa only one, match.com, is an easy-to-remember name that describes what the site is about.

I wondered how many people actually type in their address bar (address bar?) instead of using a search engine anyway. I didn't find the answer, but Jupiter Media tells me that 64% of people looking for something use a search engine.

That means that 36% of people use something other than a search engine. What makes me believe that people typing stuff into their address bar doesn't happen much is this simple fact...of the people using search engines last November, 43% searched for common websites like Ebay. In other words, instead of typing in http://www.ebay.com, people Googled Ebay and clicked on one of the results. That is absolutely hysterical. And totally believable.

What do all these facts mean? They mean that as far as getting the person there the first time, everyone starts off on the same square. If your domain name can get the minority of people who just type into their address bar to your website without a search engine, it's worth more than someone who can't.

Here are some of the legendary domain name sales in the past several years, according to Zetetic:

$14,000,000 - 2006 - sex.com $7,500,000 - 1999 - business.com $5,500,000 - 2003 - casino.com $5,000,000 - 2002 - asseenontv.com $5,000,000 - 1999 - korea.com $3,500,000 - 1996 - worldwideweb.com $3,350,000 - 1999 - altavista.com $3,300,000 - 1999 - wine.com $3,000,000 - 1999 - eshow.com $3,000,000 - 1999 - loans.com $2,750,000 - 2004 - creditcards.com

All of these with the exception of eshow.com (computer networking) should get address bar traffic, because people who type will type in the descriptive names -- if I'm looking for sex-related stuff, I'll type in sex.com. Where my mind gets boggled is in ROI. If you're selling something on asseenontv.com that nets you $25, you'll need to sell 200,000 of those George Foreman grills just to pay for your domain name.

It also dawned on me that if you pay $12,000,000 for sex.com, the free publicity generated is probably also worth millions.

So now everyone gets dollar signs in their eyes and thinks they can make a million with their domain name. Here are some examples of asking prices from Ebay:

6usiness.com (yes, that's a 6) - $7,000,000 ajobformom.com - $3,500,000 Exbay.com - $1,000,000

What does this mean for you? Well, there's some good news and some bad news. Remember back a few paragraphs when I said that everyone starts on the same square? That's really the good news. You can choose a pretty good domain name, put together some terrific content, employ some simple Search Engine Optimization and buy some keywords or exchange some links and you have a pretty good chance of getting people to your site the first time. Since most of them are coming via a search engine they're not going to notice your domain name until they get there anyway, so your domain name means the same thing (nothing) to the majority of people using the search engine.

One last thing: if you're hoping to be close to the top in the search results (the so-called organic SEO), having your keywords in the name of your website gives you a huge boost. For example, if you're looking for affiliate blog, we will be in the top five search results. In this case, Google ignores TLD unless you tell it otherwise. Affiliateblog.info will come up before us because their pagerank is higher (that's a discussion for another day). So if you think getting near the top of the organic search results is more important than having someone type your name directly into the address bar (and you very well could be right), then grab yourkeyword.cc or yourkeyword.to. I've done it, and I've suggested it to others.

Once the user comes to your site the name just needs to be memorable enough so they type it in to get there the next time. Or they may forget and Google you again. I do it every day. No matter how great your name is, if the content is lousy they won't come back anyway.

So should you buy a domain name? I don't know -- I bought this one. And I made honorable mention in the Domain Name News for the price I paid ($2500). I bought the name because I liked it, I liked the number of incoming links to it, and I felt comfortable paying for it. I've never paid more than a couple hundred dollars for a domain otherwise, and I have more than 200 of them. My favorite by far is Blozzo.com, which I just bought for $25. I have a pretty terrific idea in mind for Blozzo too.

I would try to come up with my own name before I bought someone else's. Here are some tips:

1. Try to go with a .com. It's the name everyone associates with the Internet. Any other Top Level Domain (TLD) like .org or .net is just going to confuse people, unless it sounds better than the .com. For example, if you are about networking or a network, a .net is more natural. If your site is informational, you should use .info if it sounds okay. One of my favorite $10 domains is seosecrets.info. I think it sounds good. Hands down the most ingenious use of a TLD is del.icio.us, the social bookmarking site. The use of the .us TLD is absolutely brilliant.

2. Leave out the dashes and meaningless numbers. If it's a choice between this-domain.com, thisdomain123.com and thisdomain.net, take the .net. No one remembers to put the dashes or the numbers in, unless they are an integral part of the name like studio54.com or e-books.com.

3. Use the fewest letters possible to describe what you do. I own Purple Monkey Media Group. Purplemonkey.com would have been perfect. It's taken, of course. Purplemonkeymedia.com was not. I grabbed it. I could have taken purplemonkeymediagroup.com, but it would have been too long. Remember, every additional letter is a potential typing error.

4. If you have a domain name that needs to be reinforced, get a good logo and sprinkle it liberally on your web site, along with some slogan that will reinforce the name in people's minds. You would be surprised at how inexpensive this can be.

5. If you can save a few bucks with your own domain name or by buying a cheaper domain name, do it, and use the money to get yourself placed higher in the search results or Adsense placement.

6. If you can't come up with a descriptive domain name, go the other way. Depending on your site's focus, pick a memorable short name that will stick in people's minds, get a great logo and include the name prominently in your advertising and marketing. It's called branding, and it's tried and true.

7. Ask your wife, friend, boyfriend, husband, dog, lawyer, associate, Mom, Dad, cousin, uncle, Police Chief, blog writer. They're smarter than you anyway, and they are going to be the one looking for the site, not you. Some of my best ideas have come going to or from somewhere with my wife and just brainstorming.

Here's the bad news: it may take you a while to come up with the right name. There's more good news though -- in the real world most domain names sell for $1,000 or less.

Can't get started? -- Go to a site that sells domain names, and put in a word that describes your business. See if the name is taken (it probably will be). Open your word processor or go to thesaurus.com and put the word in. Get a few more words. Check those. If there's a .com available and it looks good, grab it. If not, add the word site or blog or online to your word, and see if that works. Don't wait. If you think it might be useable, spend the $9.00. I came up with blogduck.com. I liked it. I decided to think about it some more. Someone grabbed it that afternoon. Just chisel loose the nine bucks (or less) and buy the domain.

If you want something a little more sophisticated there are several sites that are good for helping you come up with a name, like DomainsBot and Nameboy.

If you draw a blank, go over to Sedo or Afternic and see what's for sale. Search for a word that describes what you think people will associate the name of your site with, and see what pops up. That may give you some ideas.
