Three Steps To Triple Your Adsense Earnings

2010-04-11T14:03:00.000-07:00

If you're like nearly every Webmaster who has Google Adsense on your websites, you have undoubtedly been tempted by the Adsense Gurus who promise to teach you how to make a gazillion dollars a month with no extra work. While this of course sounds enticing, like everything else on the web; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I'm going to tell you up front, for free, what all the gurus charge $40 to $250 to learn.
Are you ready?
Are you sure you're ready to receive this earth shattering, mind blowing secret that will MAKE YOU MONEY RIGHT NOW!?

The secret is; There are no Adsense secrets!

Believe me, if there was a secret method to make thousands of dollars a month with little to no work, none of these gurus would go through all the effort to tell the world about it. They would exploit the secret themselves and sit in their walrus leather super massage loungers on their solid gold super yachts and laugh at all the poor saps following the rules

There are no Adsense secrets, just common sense and a couple of neat little ideas that you can implement that will increase the CTR (Click Through Rate) of the Adsense ads being served on your website. And an increased CTR means increased MIYP (Money In Your Pocket).

The first thing you must realize is that content is king. If your website does not have an abundance of keyword rich, search engine friendly content that provides a valuable service to your visitors, no amount of Adsense tweaking in the world will make a difference. There are far too many sites slapped together with the sole intention of generating Adsense income. In fact, for $40 or so on eBay, you can buy a CD with over 350 websites themed to high paying keywords and setup for Adsense. All you have to do is enter your Adsense information and sit back while the Mailman struggles to deliver the hernia inducing bags of Adsense checks to your doorstep.

This is a really cool fantasy, one I like to entertain almost as much as the winning the Lottery fantasy, but it just isn't going to happen. These sites have no original, valuable content. People who may be suckered into visiting one of the sites will see that in an instant, and view the Google Adsense ads as a desperate and annoying attempt at fooling them into clicking. If a live Adsense editor were ever to visit one of these sites, your Adsense account would be suspended quicker than you can say click fraud.

The underlying non-secret that all the Adsense gurus want to sell you is that if your Adsense ads look like content, and are tightly keyed to your own valuable, original content, you will see your CTR rate double at the least, and more likely triple or more.

I recently began implementing the three steps I am about to reveal to you, and my average daily CTR on one of my sites went from .86% to over 4% literally overnight. Now this is a new site, just under a month old and I only get around 100 visitors a day, but I went from $0.30 a day in Adsense revenue to an average of $6.00 a day in Adsense revenue. Now scale those numbers up to the amount of traffic an established site is getting, and you can see just how phenomenal of an increase this is.

1. Remove the Adsense Border. By default, the Adsense units are surrounded by a border with a text box at the top that says "Ads by Gooooogle". You goal is to work the Adsense units into your content as seamlessly as possible, so get rid of the borders. Now, Google won't allow you to delete the borders, but they do allow you to control the colors of nearly every element of an Adsense unit. Simply make the border the same color as the background of your website. This goes for the background color of the Adsense unit as well, change it to match the background color of your webpage.

2. Use Rectangular Box Sizes for your Adsense Units. Like most people, when I first started with Adsense, I primarily used the horizontal skyscraper, you know, the one that looks like a banner. The problem is people have developed an advertising sensory overload, they don't even see banner ads anymore, they visually tune them out. You need to make your Adsense unit blend in with your content, so use rectangular boxes. I get the best response with the 336X280 box size. Most languages are read from left to right, so try to place your rectangular Adsense unit in a table aligned to the right of your text.

3. It's all about the colors. Google gives you an incredible amount of leeway with the colors you can select for your Adsense units. Use this to your favor, in addition to changing the border and background color, change the link and URL color as well. Most people are accustomed to clickable links being blue, so make sure your Adsense links are blue, with one exception: if you use a different link color on your site, change the Adsense links to match that color. At the bottom of each Adsense unit there is the URL for website paying for that ad. You want to draw attention away from the URL and towards the clickable link, change the color of the link to match the body color of the ad, generally black.

Just follow these three simple guidelines and I assure you, your CTR will skyrocket. Keep adding more original, relevant content to your site, increase your targeted traffic, and watch your Adsense revenue explode.

There are many more Adsense techniques that will increase your CTR, but these three are the most important. Watch for future articles in which I explain the importance of positioning your Adsense units and how to track your Adsense campaigns using channels.

4 Keys to Increasing Your AdSense Income Online

2010-04-08T04:29:00.000-07:00

Nothing is as frustrating as watching your Google AdSense revenue trickling in cents; $.10 here $.30 cents there and $.0 cents over there. So much for all the hype about guys making thousands a month with AdSense. Me thinks, thiz Adzenz thing be weird!!

Read this article, Try the 4 facts, and up the wall you will drive AdSense!

Lets face it, if my website traffic is anywhere in the hundreds a day, there is no way under these blue skies I'm gonna make myself enough money over the internet. I read a review of some website with mammoth traffic and they make over $15,000 a month. Heck, Digital Point makes anywhere around $10,000 a month on a 50% revenue share with their contributor members. That is $10,000 being 50% of what is left after forum members have been paid off. "Google pays Digital Point about $10,000 a month, depending on how many people view or click on those ads", said Shawn D. Hogan, the owner and chief technology officer of Digital Point.

Here is the kicker. I don't in my wildest dreams think I'll ever have a website the size of digital point, ever! But I can make 100 small ones. See, I'm just an average Joe trying to make head, tail, or both, whichever comes first; of this internet money thingii. And right now I'm not sure I'm holding onto the tail or neck.

I have been doing some research on Google AdSense and I want to share with you some interesting things. Things that I didn't know about and things I believe if I had known earlier, I would still be having some hair left on my head. (Pulled much of it off trying to double my AdSense to $ 0.40 a day). Anyway, I have concentrated my research on how to optimize my AdSense revenue even before I work on increasing traffic to my 2 blogs.

In my quest, I have learned that the secret to increasing your AdSense revenue lies in mastering four main factors namely:

Creating Relevant Ads

From my Google AdSense account reports, I have noticed I earn much more from AdSense for content ad groups as opposed to the AdSense referral ads and AdSense for search bar. If you have an AdSense account, you know that there are three types of AdSense ads that you can choose to be served by Google on your site. These are AdSense for content ads that are related to your website's general content. The content based ads are the best performers in generating you AdSense revenue and they are definitely your best bet. Make sure to concentrate your efforts to having as many relevant content ads as possible if you want to make the money.

Then there are AdSense referral ads that you can choose for your website. These ads are not related to your website content and will advertise anything from bio fuels to air tickets. These Google ads do not do as well as the content based ads. The main reason being that visitors to your site are more interested in relevant content to what they were looking for in the first place. AdSense referral ads are however second to the content based ads in generating revenue. And that's a distant second from content ads.

The last type of ads that Google offers you for your website is the Google search bar. The search bar ad group is such that a visitor to your website can type the name of what they are looking for in the bar. The bar connects directly to Google search and will bring the visitor to a Google page with several ads related to what they searched for. I have really not experimented on the effectiveness of this ad groups from Google and would not therefore conclusively say they work or don't. It's however worth putting up a search bar at a corner of your page or at the bottom.

From the above three discussed Google adgroups, you will notice that content based ads perform better than the other two. Its not rocket science to figure out why. The main reason however is that people searching the web are looking for particular information of their interest. They are therefore more likely to click on ads that seem relevant to their search. AdSense adcopies are written such that they offer answers to very specific needs and a visitor will most likely click on an ad that seems to answer their quest. And that's all you need them to do to earn your money. Click.

For example, people looking for Movie Downloads will be confronted with ads that offer them all sorts of diverse benefits and types of downloading movies online. Likewise, People looking for Water-for- gas cost saver kits and manuals on their cars will be bombarded with ads that offer increasing mileage per gallon of gas etc. Once again, concentrate on requesting from Google only those ads relevant to your website's content.

Serving Only High Paying Ads

In the real sense, choosing high paying ads from Google AdSense will in effect determine the content you put on your website. In other words, if you want to concentrate on high paying ads, and considering that you need relevant content to earn good AdSense income, then by default you will have to make a website or blog on topics that pay prime dollar for clicks on them. In a nutshell, not all ads pay the same with Google. Since competition for some products is excruciatingly high, the advertisers are willing to pay top dollar for their ads to appear first on Google content based advertising network.

Google adwords (this is where advertisers bid and create their ads on Google) offer the advertisers an option to allow Google to distribute their ads to other websites within their network besides Google that have relevant content to the ads. This is how you end up with AdSense being served by Google on your website in the first place. Now here is the spoiler, not all ads that you choose will pay as high. Ads for new technology, gadgets and gizmos pay much more higher since the manufacturers are willing to pay as much to enter the market and make their product known. Google ads for such products pay you equally higher dollars per click as opposed to ads for say nail vanish.

I have seen some adwords bids that start from $5 per click. Other companies and individuals bid as high as $50 per click to maintain the pole position in Google results pages. The revenue principle applying to AdSense when Google serves the ads onto your website is practically the same. On the converse, the highest bid by advertisers is a paltry $0.05 for some products. Which ads would you rather get served with by Google?-go figure.

For you to be able to run high paying AdSense ads, you will need to make a thorough research on minimum bids made by advertisers in adwords. This is not rocket science really. One way of telling a certain area has higher bids is to Google a product you suspect might have high competition among advertisers. Just counting the number of adwords ads appearing for that particular keyword will tell you much.

A Google SERP (Search Engine Results Page) with a lot of ads appearing on it might indicate that the advertisers on that keyword are bidding serious figures per click on their website.

The higher a particular ad appears on a highly competitive keyword usually indicates higher bids and you may want to consider creating websites in such an area and get it served with AdSense. But also bear in mind that high ad counts also means that it's a highly competitive field and getting traffic for your website might be like pulling teeth...and with a pair of tweezers that is.

It pays to do an intensive research into areas to create websites for AdSense revenue. Since AdSense is served automatically by Google to your website, your only maneuver is to look for very specialized, less competitive, high paying niche areas and keywords to create your website content on. As a rule of thumb, new products are naturally good niche areas to start with; assuming that you catch on the fad soon enough before every man and his dog start selling the same product. Please note that we are placing emphasis on guys that want to use AdSense as their main source of online revenue here.

In most cases and usually why we (me included) make measly AdSense income is that, we create websites in areas of our own interest and then serve AdSense ads to them. Problem is, our preferred areas of interest are not necessarily areas that can make us worthwhile money with AdSense. Research an AdSense area that pays, then create unique content on that, serve the ads and laugh all the way to the bank. Kind of doing things in reverse... banana eating monkey sort of thing.

Positioning And Designing Your Ads

This is an area that I want to approach with a lot of caution. One thing is painfully true, and that is your AdSense ads are not worth the space if they are not optimally designed and positioned. One of the biggest advantages with serving AdSense ads is that Google lets you design and position your ads on your own website. But, which design and positions work best? Just like the offline world, positioning an outdoor advertisement makes all the difference between the ad being seen and it passing as a waste of resources.

Why does placing a TV ad at prime time, for example, cost more than double that of placing it dead in the night or early in the morning? Better still a billboard on an unused highway will not receive as much audience as one in a freeway that has huge amounts of vehicular traffic.

The same principle works with serving ads from Google AdSense. Placement of your ads is everything in getting noticed by visitors to your website and eventually getting them clicked on. Some areas of your website are actually prime real (or is that virtual) estate while others are... well, badlands, abandoned dumb and quarry sites.

Positioning Your AdSense Ads

As mentioned above, you need to know which areas of your website or blog work for AdSense. Research (and don't ask me by who) has shown that an online browser's eye is trained more emphatically on certain areas of a webpage while other areas receive just a gloss-over glance. It is also true that a webpage visitor's eye lands automatically and for the first instance on a particular area of a page and then follows a certain trail of vision on that webpage. Disconcerting, is it?...No, it's actually a nightmare for an advertiser if you don't have those facts.

You might have noticed that, in a Google SERP (i.e. the results page you get when you search a word in Google) ads always appear on the mid top and right side of the page. Fact is that, advertisers on these two areas pay completely different rates. The ads on the top of the page are called sponsored ads, while those on the right edge of the page are called adwords.

The middle top area (sponsored ads) is also much more expensive to advertise on while the right-top side ads (1st to 5th positions) are priced higher than the mid-right and bottom right adwords areas. Although, this is done through a bidding process, the idea is clear that, if your ad is the first on the top right side of the page, you get hit more than those below you. This is not only exclusive to Google but to most if not all search engines online that run ads on their SERPs.

Ok, let's bring it home. Considering your webpage will be providing other relevant and mainframe content in the middle of the page, you will need to follow Google ad positioning example. For starters, you can try to place AdSense ads at the mid-top of the webpage. The best ad design that works for the top page section is the leaderboard format which stretches the ads across from left to right of the page. Usually about three to four AdSense ads will be served with the leader board format.

The leaderboard ads are available in the ads set up button within the horizontal ads drop down. All this is possible once you get Google to approve your account, you will be able to create your ads there and get a HTML code provided for you to paste to your webpage. Google promotes family friendly websites and blogs and will need to review your website before approval. They discourage websites with adult content; your website should also have well arranged and meaningful content.

Your next prime real estate on the webpage is the far right hand side. This is a crucial area and you might want to place the ads right from the top running downwards as a column. Again, I have experimented on this area with the broad banner ads from AdSense and they fit in like a glove hence bracketing the main middle text. The broad banner format is available from your Google ad set up button in your account under the vertical ads section.

Personally, I select the text-only ads from the create-new-ad button. You have a choice of ad types including texts and images, text only and images only formats. I prefer the text only since it's now accepted that text ads attract more interest than banner and image ads. I think it's something to do with an ad getting to the point as fast and as effectively as possible.

Now, the other available position has been subject to a lot of debate; but there are still some marketers who swear by it. This is the mid-text AdSense ads. These are ads that are placed in between your main text and separated into two, three or four parts depending on the size of the main text. Basically it interrupts the flow of the text after some delivery of information. By text I mean your main page content located at the middle of the page. I cannot deny that locating the ads mid-text really gets them seen by people interested in reading your full content. But there are also visitors that might consider it an interruption to their reading and just pass along. I think this position's effectiveness surely depends on an individual reader and I might want to leave the choice up to you here.

The last AdSense positioning real estate is the end-text position. This is placed at the very bottom of your webpage text. This position is equally important for webpage visitors that have read your content and might see something that catches their eye at the end. It is proven that a visitor prefers a sense of continuity while doing their web searches as opposed to opening one page, closing it and opening another altogether. If your end-text AdSense ads are relevant enough to the content on display, the visitor will most likely sign off from your page by clicking on that last ad. Which I believe is good enough for that AdSense revenue click.

As I end the positioning AdSense discussion here, I might want to mention that caution is necessary to avoid overdoing it by serving too many ads. Your webpage should have just enough AdSense ads to create a wrap around effect to your main text. The webpage should avoid looking like an overcrowded flea market. Usually Google allows you to serve about 15 ads per page but you need not go the whole nine yards with it. Place just enough on each page to make it optimized for AdSense revenue.

Designing your AdSense ads

You will also be able to design the format of your ads within your AdSense account. Google allows you to play around the text of the ads within certain parameters like size, type, nature, text color, borders color, background colors, url color and the shape of their edges. Google also lets you choose how you want your AdSense ads to contrast against your main text by being able to choose the templates among them blend, mother earth etc. Personally I have found blending my ads to the text works where I don't want them to conspicuously stand out.

While designing your ads for primarily the purposes of AdSense income, you may want to consider making them stand out. Take care however not to overdo the colors, otherwise your site will look like its reading the riots act to visitors to click on them or else... The idea here is to softly make the ads stand out but not so much as to distract the reader of the main text. This means you will be doing a balancing act with the AdSense font color, the background and the general shape around the edges of the ad boxes.

My research has shown that choosing a soft AdSense ad background like light grey combined with emphasized text color on that ad's background has a good effect on the click through rates. But grey if your own site's background is white. Grey works best with websites with a white background. Other lighter colors work best with different backgrounds on websites. I guess I'm trying to say that your AdSense background color should just be enough to provide a slight shade to differentiate it from your original website's background. Don't make it scream here.

This might hold true when you visit other websites like hubpages.com which shares its AdSense revenues with article contributors. What they do here is that they serve AdSense ads around your article and if it's a nice piece, you will get decent clicks if not an outright click-riot. I observed that, since their website background is white, they serve their AdSense ads with an ad-background of light grey while blending the top-text ad's background white. Your best bet here is not to take my word for it but to keep on tweaking, testing and turning the ads until you see what works for your website.

High Traffic Levels

This is the devil in AdSense income. The above three aspects of increasing your AdSense income will only work to a certain extent and as far as your traffic goes. As I said this is where AdSense becomes everybody's biggest headache. However if we are to look at this critically, there are a hundred ways to drive traffic to the websites.

Let's assume we have already worked on the other three areas to our satisfactions. We are now more than sure that for whatever traffic we bring to our websites, we will be able to milk the most revenue out of them. I think that is important. No one wants visitors to be making a pass by their website without ever contributing a cent to their revenues online. So optimized they are and out you go for traffic.

I don't want to go deep into this area of bringing traffic to your website but let's just say the methods are many besides writing unique content, writing articles with links to your websites, adwords, contributing in forums among many others. The most important and that which will save you a lot of agony and time is to choose a niche area that has comparatively less competition. Since we started off making websites for AdSense, we might as well ensure that we make websites with content that attracts the search engines, hence traffic.

Choose your niche area well and the search engines will pick you out. Visitors will be on your website like ants to a Popsicle- with the right content. To help you with selecting a niche area, you can use the Google trends keyword tool to measure the competition of a particular keyword. As a rule of thumb, avoid keywords that are crowded. The competition won't do you any good.

There are people out there who have mastered the art of making multiple websites for AdSense revenue. Most of them use the automated softwares that help them develop unique websites in certain niches. An example of good AdSense automated website developer software that is popular in the market is the HYPERVRE [http://increasingAdSenseincome.wordpress.com]. (see below)This software is designed to prompt you generate the most unique sets of keywords and go on to develop unique content. As mentioned earlier, making websites in unique niche areas is the key to getting massive traffic sent your way by the search engines. Well designed and unique website content also saves you the agony of leveraging your website traffic by writing articles, buying advertising space, email lists and all other related headaches to generating traffic.

Concentrate on making websites that attract traffic by themselves, then keep on churning out as many websites as you can using the automated softwares. Within 2 months you will notice your AdSense revenue expanding to unimagined levels. So much for your earlier belief that-nobody can earn more than adcents monthly

Making Money Online IS Possible... Here's HOW

2010-04-02T08:41:00.000-07:00

Are you trying to make money online but just can't seem to get the income you want? There are thousands upon thousands of aspiring online business entrepreneurs who are in the same boat as you right now. You are not alone! However, in this article, I am going to give you some tips on how to actually make money online and eventually bring in a very nice income.

Before we get started let's talk a little about who I am and why it's even worth your time to listen to me. Am I rich? No. My bank account would be laughable compared to Bill Gates or Donald Trump, but compared to the average person trying to make money online from a home business you could say I am doing quite well.

I started my online business about three and a half years ago and slowly but surely increased my income to the point of financial independence. I now make a very good full time income online and only work a few hours per week. It wasn't easy... far from it! But it was worth it. I don't consider myself to be some money making guru. But I have been making money online, and teaching people to do the same, long enough to know what I am talking about.

So how can you make a living from home? Here are the steps necessary to make money online and eventually bring in a very good income...

1) Define Your "Why" - Really the first, and most important, step to becoming rich is not "how" to do it but "why" to do it. Without your why, your how will be nearly impossible. Once you have found your why, it is much easier to find your how to become rich. You must look deep inside yourself to find out why you want to become rich. Once you have found it write it down and keep it in a place where you will see it everyday. After you find your why you can search for your how. Remember, there is no easy road to riches. If there was then everyone would be rich.

2) Write Your Plan - When you are getting started you will need a plan. What exactly do you want to accomplish? How long will it take to do it? What steps do you need to take to ensure it happens? How many hours are you going to put in each day? How much money can you afford to spend on marketing? Etc... Think about these questions and write down the answers. Make your plan realistic and stick with it as closely as possible. It can be modified along the way as things change but you should always have a realistic plan to follow.

3) Find Your "How" - Now it's time to start searching for how you will make money online. There are many different ways to make money online. A few of the most popular ones are: business opportunities, affiliate marketing, network marketing, niche marketing, creating your own e-book, or doing an actual online job. Most of these actually go hand-in-hand so you will usually be doing more than one at a time. They are usually lumped under one umbrella called internet marketing.

My suggestion is to start out with an actual paying online job as well as at least one of the others. Doing this will allow you to bring in an online income while getting started in something that you will eventually make a lot more money doing. For instance, you could work a couple hours per day in an online job while spending the rest of your spare time learning how to market affiliate programs.

I actually know of a great program where that is exactly what you do. You make money working online jobs while also getting into affiliate marketing and a business opportunity and learning to market on the internet. You can find it here: http://honest-income-program.com

4) Get Educated - Walking blindly into an online business without having some basic education is suicide! You need to know the basics of online marketing and promoting. You can get this education for free all over the place on the internet. A great place to start is internet marketing forums and articles.

You also need to know programs to definitely stay away from before you make the mistake of jumping into some overhyped dishonest opportunity or even an all out scam. A good way to be sure you don't get sucked into one of these is to stay away from anything that promises ridiculously large amounts of money in a short period of time. Or any opportunity that says you will make a lot of money without doing any, or very little, work. It's just not true!

To help you out a little here are a few things I can tell you right now to avoid - paid to read emails, randomizers, doublers, paid to surf, HYIP, the oprah paypal letter, etc... of course there are more things to stay away from but I can't go into detail in this article due to length. I will tell you that the Honest Income Program mentioned above gives you a lot more programs to avoid and tells why you should avoid them.

5) Get Started - Now it's time for you to get started making money in your new business. It is critical in this step to be focused. Don't go jumping around to every opportunity you see just because it promises riches. Stick with what you started and put your full effort into it. It is also critical that you do not expect too much too fast. It is going to take time to start making money online and it is going to take even longer to start making a significant amount of income.

While you are getting started you will be learning a LOT. In fact, you will probably feel like you are on information overload and feel overwhelmed by everything there is to learn. Don't worry it will all come together. Just take things one step at a time in an organized manner. The learning is something that never stops. You will constantly be learning new things in online business but the beginning is probably the most crucial and the toughest.

The most important part of this step is to TAKE ACTION! Yes, there is a lot to learn and a lot to do but the only way to get anywhere is to do something with it. Making money online is largely about taking action. The more you sit back and wait for the "right time" the less you are actually out there making money.

6) Work Hard and NEVER Quit - This is probably the best advice that was ever given to me and I consider it the most important tip I can pass on to anyone trying to make money online. No matter what anyone tells you making money online is hard work. You have to put in a lot of time and effort before you reap the rewards of it. You will fail at times, that is certain! However, you will also succeed if you get up from those failures and keep going!

That's it. Those are the six basic steps to making money online and eventually bringing in a great full-time income. Of course, this article is a simplified version of what it truly takes. There is more detail to making money online that cannot be fully explained in one article but the above is basically all you need to do. It will not be easy but it can certainly be done. There are thousands upon thousands of people making money online right now. Many of them are very rich because of it. Follow the above steps and you can be making a full time income on the internet soon enough.

Adsense Income - Where Do You Start!

The first thing you need to do for an Adsense website is to choose a niche - or topic - for your website.

If this is your first website then it's a good idea to make a website about a topic you have some good knowledge or experience with. If you design a website about a topic you know about, you will find it very easy to create lots of good content based on your own knowledge. It can be much easier writing about something you know.

Jot down some ideas for a few pages of content.

Your homepage will be your introduction to the topic. That page will have links to other pages containing more specific information about the topic. Each page on your website will be a sub category to the main topic. For example if you have a website about dog breeds, your homepage will be your introduction page talking about dogs in general. Then your other pages could be separated for each breed of dog, giving more detailed information about the particular breed.

You don't need to have a fancy website, often something plain is better.

You will need to get a domain name and some web hosting. Look around to get a good deal on hosting. If there's a good chance you will be making more than one Adsense website then look for a deal that gives you unlimited domain hosting.

Research

If you don't have enough information from your own knowledge then you will need to do some research on your topic. You can do this through books at home, at the library or over the internet.

You need to have good content. You want your visitors to want to come back to your site. If you content is rubbish, not too many will come back. Good, solid, unique content will keep them coming back and hopefully clicking on your ads.

You also want your adsense ads to match the content on your site, so having a lot of good content will ensure that the ads placed on your site will match your topic.

You will also be favoured better with the search engines if you have good quality content on your site - and make sure its unique. Get ideas from other sites and articles on the internet but don't copy anything word for word. Always reword things into your own wording.

Fill in your pages with your content and have it displayed nicely and easy to read.

Use good colors on your pages, colors that are easy on the eyes. Often dark backgrounds such as black or navy blue can be quite hard to read and turn away visitors very quickly.

You may also want to choose colors that could benefit the niche of your website, such as green color scheme for a gardening website, or whites for a wedding niche.

Once you have your research done and have added a few good pages of good quality content to your site you can now add your Adsense ads and upload your site to your server.

If you don't see enough income coming in from your ads spend a bit of time tweaking your ads until you get them just right. Also keep on working at building up traffic to your website, the more traffic, the more clicks you will get on your ads.

Earn Money Online - The 9 Essential Steps to Make Money Online

2010-03-31T05:18:00.000-07:00

There is a very precise and simple formula that enables you to earn money online. The most successful Internet Marketing gurus are essentially using this formula, or variations of it, to earn money online. This article lays out the 9 essential steps to going from zero to regular cash flow, online.
The 9 steps to help you earn money online are: 1. Identify your niche 2. Select your product(s) 3. Establish a presence online 4. Build your audience 5. Create insane (free) value 6. Enable a landing page to capture leads 7. Nurture your leads via email drip campaigns 8. Offer your product(s) to this now trusting, pre-sold audience 9. Create your own product, and sell it to your niche
1. Pick your niche (brainstorm it is a good tool)
"A Mediocre Message To A Great Audience Will Always Do Better Than A Great Message To A Mediocre Audience!" - Ann_sieg Of the utmost importance when designing a plan to earn money online, is picking your audience. While this step is easy to gloss over, it is the most important step. Why? Because if you go too broad, and you will find it impossibly competitive. And extremely difficult to establish compelling value for such a large group . The ability to hone in on a narrow but profitable niche is really where your ability to earn money online is measured.
You want a group that you are familiar with, that is on fire with a particular problem. And needs relief. Please - resist the temptation of thinking you can use your judgment or instinct to pick a niche. We're all too biased to make such a selection. Remember - the world doesn't share your (or my) opinions. Instead, use a scientific tool to show you what keywords are being searched on frequently in Google... but with sparse results for those searches. While there are many tools available, I recommend SiteSell's Brainstorm It Imagine going into the restaurant business.
It's always been your passion to own a restaurant. But you want to make massive profits - so you target the broadest audience possible. You'll end up offering mediocre food, with the widest variety. But people will continue to flock to various specialists. Rather than come to your "one-size-fits-all" buffet.
Not the best place to be. Spend some time. Find the intersection of your interests, your strengths, and identified profitable niches. Do this, and you'll be ahead of 80% of people attempting to earn money online.
2. Pick your product (affiliate products best) Most entrepreneurially-minded people want to do it all. They love building the product, in particular. Resist this urge! To earn money online, you should first start by selling other people's stuff! This will let you earn money online much more quickly. Once you have a marketing system, a web site, and all the other pieces of your money-earning up-and-running... and you've learned what pitfalls to avoid, you can go back and design your product. But in the meantime, take advantage of affiliate marketing via ClickBank, Commission Junction, and thousands of other resources for affiliate programs. You'll basically earn commissions for recommending and selling other people's stuff. Your niche selection will drive what product(s) you select.
3. Establish a presence online (blog or web site) Earning money online requires that you have an "office front" of sorts. Simply having landing pages to sell your products won't cut it. This is almost like hanging a hand-written "Want to earn money online? Call now!" sign on a telephone pole. Having a presence online allows people to see that you're a real person. Offering real value - and not just trying to make a fast buck off of people. Many people looking to earn money online will ask: "Blog vs web site"? You can set up a blog within minutes, at no cost. This is a great way to get up-and-going.
For a long-term efforts to make money online, however, I advise you to establish a web site. And blogs are best for news-oriented sites, with time-sensitive information. They are organized by date. But a content-themed web site is organized by subject, and is more timeless. Blogs are not particularly profitable for most small businesses.
"Blogs usually have high Bounce Rates no matter what since normal visitor behavior is to read the newest post and then leave." - Google team, April 2008.
4. Build your target audience Now that you know your targeted niche, you'll want to create your own tribe, your own mailing list. This can be done by opting people in to your mailing list, establishing an online forum, etc. You're essentially enabling a two-way conversation. The individuals that join your mailing list, or on-line community, are much more qualified than those just browsing your web site. You have the ability develop the relationship with this audience. And this is how you will earn money online.
5. Create value for that audience Particularly because you're selling affiliate products - products being offered by other entrepreneurs too - you'll want to pre-sell your products. Build value, and establish trust, by giving away lots of original, free, valuable content. This free content will also get you noticed by search engines like Google. And attract individuals searching for the particular keywords that you're writing about. If each of your web pages is optimized for a single keyword, you'll end up getting the lion's share of your leads from this content!
6. Create a landing page to capture leads You'll want a landing page to capture your leads. Aweber and Oprius are great tools to help you manage lead capture forms, and opting-in to your mailing list.
7. Build the relationship with those leads via automated emails The ability create drip campaigns, or automated email nurturing campaigns, is the key secret to help you earn money online. Imagine being able to have a series of conversations with every single lead you get... in the same order, at the same intervals from their subscription date? This is powerful.
8. Sell products through those automated emails These same drip campaigns, in addition to providing more free content, will feature your affiliate products. Because you would have already established a trusted reputation with your tribe / community / audience... they'll be quite receptive to your recommendations of tools that could help them achieve their goals.
9. Create your own product, and sell to your niche Over time, and after you've perfected the previous steps, you'll have ample time and opportunity to design your own product. With all the other essential foundational pieces in place, you'll be perfectly positioned to earn money online. Much more money than you did from selling affiliate products.

How to spot the scam

2010-01-22T01:39:00.000-08:00

We frequently hear news of people being scammed in both the real and the virtual world of the internet. Savvy people would have avoided the traps immediately but why are there still victims being scammed over and over again. The common news like "get rich quick schemes", "magical stones with healing properties", "huge inheritance schemes that require you to be their middleman"...etc are heard of all the time, but yet there are still victims falling for the same traps over and over again. Is it due to greed? Or is it out of desperation for material needs? The problem seems to lie with ignorance. In reality, we can't be bothered with such issues until we are hit by them. But again, it will be too late by the time you discovered that you had parted with your hard earned money to some stranger who gave you empty promises. Do yourself a big favor by educating yourself and your loved ones. It is very sad to see old people being scammed of their life savings, don't ever allow yourself or your kin to end up like them.
So what are the tell tale signs that you should take note of? Here are 7 tips to deal with the common scamming tricks. While the ways of scamming that scammers used keep changing and becoming more complex, these tips offered here should provide a safety net against the common tricks these evil people used to repeatedly scam innocent people.
Tip #1 - Irregularity and capitalizing of fonts in message
Look out for irregular fonts and capitalizing of fonts in the message, be it emails, letters...etc Look out for these especially when you received them on line as scammers tend to copy, cut and paste from somewhere to create and make their message sound legitimate.
Tip #2 - Typo and grammatical errors
When there is an error, it can be due to carelessness on the clerk who typed that letter or email. However, business people are very prudent with what they sent out in their letters and emails as it can become a legal issue if there are misunderstandings, and also it does not reflect well on the company image and professionalism. Look out for language inconsistency and grammatical errors in the message you received.
Tip #3 - Business email addresses V.S personal email addresses
Check the email address of that person who sent you that mail. Established business have a business email, they will not send you messages through free private email accounts. Common sense should have told you that when you register your particulars for your business, you can't scammed or you will be traced back when there is a legal complain lodged against you since you are required by law to provide your particulars when you register a company for tax and other purposes.
Tip #4 - Check for proof of claim
What ever the text of message is about, always be sure to check the proof of their claims on no matter what topics or items they are telling you. Are the claims of the message backed by any proof? Did the claim appear in the media? If nothing is found, do not fall for such tricks as there is always a higher probability of being cheated if it is not released by the media and most are plain scams out there to con your money away.
Tip #5 - Check for any complains or scam history pertaining to the message you received
One of the simplest way is to check the internet or media for any history regarding the suspected scam message you received. If there is a history of scam relating to the message you received, victims would have posted warnings to prevent other innocent people from falling into the trap.
Tip #6 - Company reputation and length of establishment
If the company is a major brand name that has been established for years, chances of scamming are minimal. However, be careful as scammers love to make use of such brand names to hide their identities and use it to their advantage to cheat. To ensure that you are safe from these despicable people, always check with the company by contacting them personally. If the company is established only for a very short period of time, exercise common sense and discretion to the company claims.
Tip #7 - Be wary of messages that ask you to send money before providing any goods or services
Red alert! Never ever send money over when you have not worked with, purchased anything previously from or know anything about the company or party who sent you the message. These people stand a higher chance of cheating you of your hard earned money. Unless they have a history of proven track record for their reliability and business ethics, these companies will normally request payments by a credit card, cheque or other modes of payment instead of cash payment for the goods and services they provide on the internet. Unless they are some brokerage companies or trading companies that you opened an account with for investing purposes, they will not ask for a bank transfer to the company account.
Bearing the above tips in mind, it would be much easier to spot a scammer and prevent yourself or loved ones from being cheated ever again.

Worthless Make Money Online Programs

2010-01-22T01:38:00.000-08:00

Make money online sites are all over the place now. Finding the real scoop on this industry can be a lot less stressful if you know where to look. Searching for a mentor online can be a daunting task. Most charge outrageous prices and you don't have any promise that they can even help you at all. The make money online market has changed a lot in the past decade or so. A whole new line of products to automate the tasks required in most programs are now all over the web. Making money online is easier said than done and having a bunch of tools is useless if you don't know the fundamentals.
Some sites are not so bad and actually give decent services for the price. Many basically give a list of instructions and walk you through some basic advertising methods. Although this does show you something you probably didn't know how to do before, often the techniques used do not actually turn a profit given the product or they don't give enough detail to actually help you make any money online. A common way to advertise any service is to give the consumer enough to keep them interested while holding enough information back so that you are still needed. I guess the problem with many make money online attempts is that the information given for free is worth less than nothing and what they actually charge for is not much better. This makes people mad due to the fact that they do not make the money they paid for the information let alone any profit. Unfortunately a lot of times this is the plan from the start and the idea is not to run a successful business around making money online but instead to take the money and run. Occasionally you see a site that seems to make sense and might not be a scam but they usually link to a site that is terrible.
How much time you are willing to put in really is important when it comes to making money online. Many people who get into online marketing only want to make some money on the side but some decide they really want to do it full time. If you really want to learn this business you probably realize that to make money online you are going to have to figure it out yourself and get rich quick schemes are just going to waste your time. Some of the bigger sites with all the bells and whistles are just as transparent as the fly by night crooks. This can be determined in a lot of cases by the number of members they have. The question that comes to mind is that if you had any way to make substantial money online would you actually tell anyone about it and create more competition for yourself. Finding all the real information on how to make money online can be so difficult most people will give up and find another career.

Work From Home - How To Protect Yourself

2010-01-17T08:53:00.000-08:00

One of the most important steps before getting involved in the home business industry is by making sure that the company you choose to represent is credible. You can make millions from home, but this is achieved by being smart and cautious before joining a company.
In this article you will be taught some important tactics you can use to prevent yourself from being ripped off by work from home business opportunities.
Here are simple steps you should follow while investigating each and every company that you are interested in doing business with.
1) Do Your Research On The Company
Take some time to research the company that you are interested in getting involved with. What is the reputation of the founder? How long has the company been in business? Is the corporate website professionally done? Do some research on the internet by "googling" the company name. While there is usually always something negative about every company available online, how many people have good things to say? A lot can be determined by some good research, if you focus in on the right things.
2) Chat With People In Forums
Search for quality forums about the company that you are interested in and chat with other people working the business. You can also learn a lot by just sitting back and reading what other people are chatting about the company. If the people are not having success and earning money, then that is likely to show through.
3) Contact The Person That You Are Planning On Joining
The first thing you should do before purchasing any program is to contact the person that you are wanting to join. They should list their phone number or at least an email address on their website so that you can reach them directly.
If the person that you wish to join with does not respond, then do not sign up with them. Now there are exceptions to this, for example if they are on vacation or have a family emergency. But by and large, if you give them a reasonable amount of time to contact you back and they don't, you do not want to do business with them. A person running a successful business will make sure that they are following up on contacts. If the person that you are wanting to join with does not respond to your attempts at contact, find someone else who is willing to give you the highest customer service that you due.
If they can't make that initial contact, then you can guarantee that they will not contact you once you have paid them the fee to join. Find someone else who is willing to give you some customer service. Finding a trustworthy, quality person to join could be the key to your success.
4) Don't Refinance Your Home For Any Program
Start out small. Buy into the lowest cost package available and try it out before making a substantial investment.
Go for the low cost package, check out sponsor's customer service, quality of the product, and find out if it's a good fit for you before going for the most expensive package.
Taking the time to make sure that the company and person that you are joining with are reputable, will save you precious time, money, and a lot of heartache.
