Easy money 3

In the third part of the Adsense article I will summarize what we have discussed until now.
1. While it makes it easy to make some change, making big money with Adsense requires a lot of effort especially if you are still somewhat new to the Internet scene.
2. Steer clear of the Google Adsense "Get rich overnight" - guru e books. Because trust that's mostly how those people got rich overnight: scamming poor suckers with promises of riches. However you may want to get one of those e books but only if they are free. They may not get you that promised income, but they are full of tiny bits of advice that I'm sure you did not know, that can help you in the long run.
3. Do not cheat. In their Terms of Agreement, Google has a very comprehensive list on what will get you jettisoned into "the void of noAdsense".
4. Use Blogger to apply for Adsense since this makes the approval process a lot shorter.
5. Build a content rich site in order to build a fan-base. Fans mean traffic, traffic means clicks, clicks mean Ka-ching.
6. Use your keywords wisely. The aforementioned fan-base will not click on bungee-jumping ads posted on a site about How to have a safe life.

Ok so that's a wrap. In a future post I will talk about other money making schemes/opportunities online.

Easy money 2

As we I said earlier this week the Adsense program works by putting ads on the websites of the affiliates. When someone clicks one ad the affiliate is paid a percentage of the amount the advertiser pays Google for that ad.
Sounds easy as pie. However the number of clicks depends highly on the traffic you have and even more importantly on the relevance of the ads. If you run a website about fly fishing and the ads Google sends you are about cosmetics of cabbages you are likely to get very few clicks even if you have mountains of traffic. On the opposite a site with very little traffic and well optimized ads can bring twice the revenue of the aforementioned site.
What Google's crawlers take into account:
-key word density. Basically word density. Even if you talk about business, using dance-related metaphors will get you dance-related ads.
-website title. When i activated the Adsense system on this blog the URL was www.thelimitsofcontrol.blogspot.com. This got me ads about "Motion relay systems" and "Bioreactor control panels". After switching to the more suggestive www.moneyonyourwebsite.com I started receiving ads about Web templates and Pay per Click services. Spot on.
Needless to say respecting these 2 elements increased the still reduced income of the site twice-fold.
Also I'll add that the rewards for click are more than reasonable giving the reduced effort required.

Easy money



     If someone goes for a quick walk around the Internet they will notice thousands of money-making "opportunities" that range from online casino systems to pyramid schemes. Today I want to talk about Adsense.
     Adsense is an advertising program offered by our dear friends at Google. The system works like this : advertiser A offers Google his advertising budget lets say 1 grand and the amound he is willing to pay for each click. Google will then spread the created ads to its affiliates and offer them a percentage of the booty.
So doing some simple math assuming that Google offers its affiliates around 50% (the exact number is a well kept secret) for each advertiser willing to pay 1000$ for ads there are 500$ any webmaster can pocket. This creates great potential for this system as the market is huge.
      How much one makes is however influenced by the amount of traffic he has and how well are his ads formatted. No traffic means no clicks. High traffic but no clicks results in no revenue. And so on. What you must achieve is a perfect balance that gets you both.
For that you have to work hard and its recommended that you play nice. Without a content-rich website you cannot attract and maintain a serious number of visitors, and if you break the rules Google will smite you for life. Just imagine the Adsense ToS to be something like the Ten Commandments: "Thou shall not click its own ads". I think i will stay on this topic for a while so I can present some rules and some misconceptions regarding this programe.
     So for the time being remember: if you are willing to work hard enough you can get your share of the million dollar business advertising is. If not you will probably just waste hard cash on hosting and domain names.

     Cheers

Hello!

Hi I'm Radu. I'm going to keep this first post easy and just state the purpose of this blog: to create new views regarding everything that surrounds us so that we can improve ourselves.
I want to make it clear that this cannot be done in a day or two. I will try to present facts how they are hoping that you understand objectivity is impossible.
Believing that humor is essential to our existence and formation I beg that you will forgive some of my attempts that may not be as good as I may hope.
Also reader input is more than welcome so if you have a topic you think good make a good discussion please share it.
See you soon
