I am very sure any blogger who is an adsense publisher do the same routine. And as usual i received new message from adsense about new ad management overview. This features will be rolling out in a phases in another few weeks. Just wait and see the changes in our publisher account for adsense latest feature.<br /><br />Finally, the re-paste work is over. When i made a changes in my adsense ad, i need to re-paste the adsense code at my site too. But this time, google adsense seems to know what their publisher thinking. The new ad management feature allow it user to save details about an AdSense unit, including ad size, colors, and channel settings, on google adsense servers. Keeping the details on servers is much better than in the ad code on your pages, you can make changes to the AdSense units on your pages from within your account. Don't you think this is really good news!<br /><br />Now google offer an option for us to create new AdSense units which we can customize and update within our account to see changes directly on our site. Example, when i creating new AdSense unit, details of the ad unit (like colors and channels) will be stored in my AdSense account. This gives me faster, simpler ad management, allowing me to make changes to an AdSense unit instantly without needing to re-paste the ad code or make additional changes to the page itself. The option to manage ads from within our account is only available for adsense for content units for the time being.<br /><br />Just wait and see google adsense next level.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-45861452105915442742007-09-10T18:22:00.000+05:302007-09-10T18:25:35.305+05:30Google Apps Gets Enterprise Partner<span style="font-family:verdana;">Google Apps, Google service for running corporate email, calendaring and documents, has gotten a new partner in the form of Capgemini, a major systems consulting firm. Capgemini will incorporate Google Apps into its outsourcing service, which currently manages over a million corporate desktop PCs. The goal of the partnership is to bring Apps into larger companies, past just the educational and small business clients the service currently enjoys.<br /><br />Regarding the big question, if Google Apps is even ready for big companies, </span><a href="http://www.roughtype.com/archives/2007/09/capgemini_to_pi.php"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Nick Carr got an interesting answer</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> from Capgemini outsourcing exec Steve Jones:<br /><br />I asked Jones about the commonly heard claim that Google Apps, while fine for little organizations, isn’t “enterprise-ready.” He scoffed at the notion, saying that the objection is just a smokescreen that some CIOs are “hiding behind.” Google Apps, he says, is “already being used covertly” in big companies, behind the backs of IT staffers. The time has come, he argues, to bring Apps into the mainstream of IT management in order to ensure that important data is safeguarded and compliance requirements are met. Jones foresees “a lot of big companies” announcing the formal adoption of Apps.<br /><br />They go on to say that Apps will be marketed as a complement to Microsoft Office, but that it should prove a good idea for employees who the company can’t afford to give copies of Office. Both are interesting arguments, but here’s a counter:<br /><br />Yes, some employees are using Gmail behind the scenes instead of their corporate email, but plenty are using Hotmail or Yahoo Mail. Employees are always going to have personal webmail accounts in addition to their corporate accounts, and it proves no trend.<br /><br />If the arguments goes beyond that, that employees are collaborating in secret with Google Docs, as surprising as that may be, it wouldn’t surprise me if plenty of those employees are also using OpenOffice. In fact, It would surprise me even less if stats backed up this hypothesis: More outsourced employees, without licensed copies of Microsoft Office, are pirating Office than using a free alternative.<br /><br />I’ve long argued that at $50 per user per year, Apps is either barely cheaper than Microsoft Office, or actually more expensive as that subscription fee adds up. This decision can’t be made on a purely financial basis, but has to be won on features.<br /><br />Both Carr and </span><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/09/10/google-makes-its-enterprise-move/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">TechCrunch point out</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> the obvious problems with accounting under current U.S. law, and the fact that no new customers were being announced with this news. Supposedly a big telco is going to announce a switch to Google Apps on some of its computers, so we’ll have to wait and see. </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-12246321960571562672007-09-10T18:20:00.000+05:302007-09-10T18:22:42.267+05:304 Powerful Tips to Skyrocket your Affiliate Marketing Income With Adwords!Affiliate marketing and adwords is by far the quickest way to make money on the Internet. However, before you decide to dive into pay per click advertising (PPC), you need to learn essential tips and tricks, otherwise, you will lose a lot of money.<br /><br />To get the most from your adwords campaigns, you need to learn how to use Google Adwords tools efficiently. Invest in your education and you will be rewarded. You will be well on your way to make a nice affiliate revenue through adwords.<br /><br />Follow these Google adwords tips, and get lower cost per click for a higher affiliate revenue...<br /><br /> 1) Always choose high profit margin products .<br /><br />Before Setting up your adwords campaign, you must know that affiliate marketers can easily lose money compared to the merchant who is selling his own products. If the affiliate commission is to low, it will be difficult to break even.<br /><br />Try to choose affiliate programs that pay more than $75 per sale. Like that, you will have room to test the market and tweak your landing pages... and still win money.<br /><br /> 2) Choose recurring commissions affiliate programs .<br /><br />Adwords is a tough game, and you need money to make money. What you want to do is to turn one dollar into two dollars. You can do better than that when you promote membership site and web hosting companies.<br /><br />Your affiliate commissions will come each and every month while you are entering new market and testing new campaigns.<br /><br /> 3) De-activate "Content Network" .<br /><br />When you start a new campaign, be sure to de-activate content network. Those contextual advertising ads displaying on adsense sites are often a waste of money. <br /><br />While those adsense publishers are getting more and more clicks on their ads (they earn a nice CPC income doing this!), those clicks doesn't convert to sales in most of the cases. In fact, “content network” is good for merchants since they get branding from their affiliates for their company and products.<br /><br /> 4) Never target the first spot! .<br /><br />It has been proved that the fourth or fifth spot are more profitables. While you get less click at the fourth position, your adwords campaign's ROI (return on investment) will be higher than the ad in the first position.<br /><br />Why? Because many of the surfers are searching for information, and they will click on several paid ads before making their choice.<br /><br />When they click down (fourth position), they already saw the competition, and at this point, they have an idea of what they want. They are more likely to buy through your affiliate links.<br /><br />Affiliate marketing and adwords can be very lucrative when you know how to play the pay per click advertising game. It is one of the main weapon of super affiliates, and if you follow those adwords advices.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-48366042658364849262007-09-01T16:09:00.000+05:302007-09-01T16:12:00.715+05:30Google marks itself as spamPhilipp Lenssen noticed recently that the Google Custom Search blog, maintained by Google, was “marked as spam”. It’s scary to see this happen to an official Google blog because if it can happen to them, there is absolutely nothing to stop it from happening to you. The official blog was replaced by a single post by “Srikanth” saying:<br /><br /> Google Custom Search, is the wonderful product from Google which many webmasters have been looking and dream for. It allows webmasters to create their own custom search engines to search only the sites he/she wants.<br /><br /> Also Google Custom Search is integrated with Ad-sense, which means make money while keeping users on your site for longer time with custom search engine.<br /><br /> I’ll cover up more on this powerful tool very soon in my next blog.<br /><br /> Good Luck for all the Custom Search customers(??).<br /><br /> Cheers,<br /> Srikanth<br /><br />You could be writing a blog for months, following all the rules — then out of the blue Google could delete your blog and all it’s content, then let some random person start blogging on that very same domain.<br /><br /> Whoops! We accidentally classified ourselves as spam, and our ever-perceptive Blogger settings caught us. The Custom Search Blog has since been restored, and we’re taking steps to ensure this doesn’t happen with other Google blogs in the future. Other Blogger users can make sure this doesn’t happen to them by reporting any problems to the Blogger support team via the Blogger Help Center at http://www.blogger.com/problem.g. We can then investigate.<br /><br />Should this happen to you, contact Google immediately to explain the situation so they can investigate. It would be nice to have more clarification from Google about what actually happened here, and what happens when a blog is “marked as spam”. From this most recent demonstration, it appears your blog is completely deleted and put back into the list of available blog names — allowing anybody to register it. What can we possibly do to stop this from happening to innocent bloggers?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-27203871858793132312007-09-01T16:01:00.000+05:302007-09-01T16:03:43.279+05:30Google defies their own “send you away” strategy with Google NewsGoogle has publicly stated on several occasions that they are not interested in keeping users on their site — they want people to find information and leave Google as quickly as possible — but their latest move is a sign that Google is taking a second look at that strategy. <p>Instead of sending people to any site hosting content from Press Association, Associated Press, Canadian Press and Agence France-Presse, Google has decided to license articles and host them directly. The pages hosting the articles <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gJDS2tyUm_Yoh4B8w-s94rMl6rpA">are plain</a> — you get the article you want, and basically nothing else (not even ads).</p> <p><img src="http://blogs.zdnet.com/Google/images/hostedbyscreen.gif" alt="hostedbyscreen.gif" /></p> <p>This move has been in the making for several years — and frankly, it is hard to understand why it took so long. Google has the infrastructure to store these articles, and it gives them all kinds of flexibility they never had before. For example, they could add features such as live chat or comments on these hosted article pages if they wanted.</p> <p>There is the possibility that other sites that host this same content will be slightly ticked off now that traffic coming from Google will completely disappear — potentially causing quite a bit of lost ad revenue. It will be interesting to see how Google handles the backlash when it happens.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-7118368431691892282007-09-01T15:27:00.000+05:302007-09-01T16:00:43.495+05:30Google kicks Microsoft where it hurts, again<p>Do you know about <a href="http://pack.google.com/">Google Updater</a>? There is a good chance you have it installed on your computer already as it’s bundled with other Google products like the browser toolbar. Well, in what seems to be an obvious attempt to steal even more users away from Microsoft Office products, Google just added “StarOffice” to the the list of available downloads that can be installed and updated automatically through Google Pack. If you download it directly from Sun, it will cost you around $70, however Google appears to be giving it away for free — or at least there isn’t a nag screen or an obvious way to upgrade to a full version.</p> <p>Web applications like Google Docs are very useful in many circumstances, but for power users who need, or prefer, a fat client to do their work — there was no real choice but to keep using Microsoft Office if they don’t know about this suite.</p> <p><a href="http://www.sun.com/software/star/staroffice/index.jsp">StarOffice</a>, which includes their own version of Access, Excel, PowerPoint and Word, is developed by Sun — but Google has been <a href="http://news.com.com/Google+throws+bodies+at+OpenOffice/2100-7344_3-5920762.html">throwing resources at it</a> since October, 2005. I am going to assume there is a plugin under development that lets users create documents on their PC and synchronize them with their online counterpart through Google Docs. StarOffice already has hooks into Google’s search and desktop capabilities.</p> <p><img src="http://blogs.zdnet.com/Google/images/starofficetoolbar.png" alt="starofficetoolbar.png" /></p> <p>It should be interesting to see if this move helps Sun get more exposure for StarOffice. What do you think? Are you surprised Google made this product available through the Google Updater? Will this affect Microsoft in any way?</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-11804513861370541052007-09-01T12:57:00.000+05:302007-09-01T13:11:36.659+05:30How Google Detects Click FraudA lot of Google AdSense publishers are banned from the Google AdSense program for click fraud. Some of these Google AdSense publishers manage to get their AdSense account reinstated. However, majority of them failed to do so. As a result, they are banned from the Google AdSense program.<br /><br />Google does not reveal any specific details on how they define click fraud. They do not disclose their proprietary click fraud detection technology as well. As a result of that, publishers would not be able to report any click fraud activities on their website.<span id="fullpost"><br /><br />However, Google does provide general definition of invalid clicks. It may be a good idea to learn how Google defines invalid clicks and how they detect click fraud.<br /><br />Google defines invalid clicks as:<br /><br /></span><ul><li><span id="fullpost">Manual clicks intended to increase publisher’s advertising</span></li><li><span id="fullpost"> Clicks by automated tools, robots, or other deceptive software.</span></li></ul><span id="fullpost"><br />So how does Google detect click fraud activities on your website? How would they know which clicks are invalid? Google AdSense team uses three powerful tools to detect invalid clicks:<br /><br /></span><ul><li><span id="fullpost"> Detection and filtering techniques: </span><span id="fullpost">Each click on an AdSense ad is monitored by Google system. Google will record the IP of each click, the time of the click, duplicate clicks and various click patterns. Google will use these factors and filter out potential invalid clicks.</span></li></ul><span id="fullpost"> <br /></span><ul><li><span id="fullpost"> Advanced monitoring techniques: Google uses its proprietary software to monitor click fraud activity. They are constantly working to improve their click fraud detection technology.</span></li></ul><span id="fullpost"> <br /></span><ul><li><span id="fullpost"> The Google Team: In addition, Google has a team that uses specialized tools and techniques to examine individual case of click fraud. When Google system detects potentially invalid clicks, a member of this team will examines the affected account.</span></li></ul><span id="fullpost"><br />Despite the effort that Google put in to improve their invalid clicks detection technology, Google does not provide any click fraud protection for publishers. It is very hard for publishers to prove that they have nothing to do with the click fraud activities on their website. It is equally hard for Google AdSense team to believe that the publishers have nothing to do with the click fraud activities on their websites. It is often too late for publishers when they receive the AdSense termination letter from Google AdSense team.<br /><br />There are few innocent publishers whose AdSense account has been terminated because of a sudden spike in their AdSense earnings. This sudden jump in AdSense earnings is due to the sudden jump in website traffic. The spike in their AdSense earnings would probably raise the red flag in Google click fraud detection system and had their accounts terminated. If you think your AdSense account is terminated unfairly, Google provides you a way to make your appeal:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/request.py?contact=invalid_clicks_appeal">http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/request.py?contact=invalid_clicks_appeal</a><br /><br />A Piece of Advice<br /><br />When you are making your appeal via email, you should stay calm and plan the right strategy. You should be patient when dealing with Google and most importantly you should be polite when communicating with them. You may take initiative to provide them with all the documents they need.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-25933672166298098692007-08-28T15:40:00.000+05:302007-08-28T15:46:41.927+05:30Google “Sky”—New Virtual Telescope Using NASA Hubble Images Plans to Turn Millions into StargazersPopular mapping service Google Earth is launching a new feature called Sky, a "virtual telescope" that will allow millions of Internet users to become full-fledged stargazers. Supernovas and the most remote, ancient galaxies are now just a mouse click away through Sky in Google Earth.<br /><a id="more"></a><br />The old Google Earth gave Internet users an “astronaut's view” that can zoom in all the way to street level. Google says the new service also provides a reversed outlook that will let us look out into space in the opposite direction—giving user’s an “astronomer’s view”, as well. The hope is to turn millions of Internet users into stargazers by giving them a fun ‘playground’ for discovering not just our earth, but the entire universe.<br /><br />"Never before has a roadmap of the entire sky been made so readily available," said Dr. Carol Christian an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute, who co-led the institutes's Sky team.<br /><br />"Sky in Google Earth will foster and initiate new understanding of the universe by bringing it to everyone's home computer."<br /><br />"You have seen the Hubble images of objects such as the Eagle Nebula, the so-called pillars of creation," said Christian. "With Sky in Google Earth you can see where the objects are located in space, including the constellations in which they reside. Then you can discover other cool objects in nearby regions of the sky. And you don't have to know anything about astronomy to use the program."<br /><br />Similar to Google Earth, Sky will enable users to float and zoom in on over 100 million individual stars and 200 million galaxies. Users will view the sky as seen from earth.<br /><br />The backyard astronomy layer lets users click through stars, galaxies and nebulae visible to the eye, binoculars and small telescopes. Users can also delve into deeper layers, which will show the life of a star, constellations, and high-rez images provided by the Hubble Space Telescope along with a “users guide to galaxies”.<br /><br />The imagery was compiled from numerous third parties including the Digital Sky Survey Consortium, the United Kingdom Astronomy Technology Centre and the Anglo-Australian Observatory. The imagery will be updated over time as new visual discoveries come to light.<br /><br />"We're excited to provide users with rich astronomical imagery and enhanced content that enables them to both learn about what they're seeing and tell their own stories," said Google Product Manager Lior Ron in a statement.<br /><br />"By working with some of the industry's leading experts, we've been able to transform Google Earth into a virtual telescope."<br /><br />Google Earth soon became a hit after launching in June 2005 to combine its search service with satellite imagery, maps and 3D building to display the world’s geographical information.<br /><br />According to Google, over 250 million people have already downloaded it.<br /><br />The Sky service will soon be available on all Google Earth domains, in 13 languages. Users will need to download the newest version of Google Earth, which can be found at<br /><br /><a href="http://www.earth.google.com/">http://www.earth.google.com/</a><br /><br />It’s hard not to hate Google sometimes. It’s easy to get jealous of the company’s unbridled success—not to mention how their employees get free gourmet meals, while the rest of us are eating 3 day old leftovers. But when something like “Sky” comes along—you just have to hand it to them—they come up with some pretty cool ideas. Rock on, Google. Rock on.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-79304674103208828442007-08-28T15:20:00.000+05:302007-08-28T15:36:02.927+05:30Top 12 Tips To Writing Effective Google AdWords AdsAs I said in my last article we require lots of visitors to earn goolge money and for that we do require to invest in advertising and what is better than google adwords . So in this article I am giving you Top 12 Tips To Writing Effective Google AdWords Ads . With these tips you will be able to get lots and lots of visitors to your website .<br /><br />1. Target The Right AudienceTarget the right audience by selecting the language and countries that you want to target. For example, I exclude all countries where English is not understood by a large percentage of the population.<br /><br />2. Refine Your KeywordsUse square brackets "[...]" around your keyword/s.For example:[google][google adwords] Your ad will only show when the search is for the exact keyword phrase you have included within the brackets.The ad will not show for searches that include other keywords. In our example, this would be for searches such as "google search," or "google news."<br /><br />3. Test Multiple Ads SimultaneouslyAlways test 2 (or more) ads simultaneously. This is what is known in the print industry as an A/B split test.Find out which one produces the higher click through ratio. Then replace the weaker performing ad with a new one.Continue this process in your never-ending quest to get the highest click through ratio possible.<br /><br />4. Track The Return-On-Investment Of Each AdGoogle tracks the click through ratio of each ad. But it doesn't track the conversion ratio.Use a special tracking link in each ad to track its conversion ratio. For example, you could attach each ad with an affiliate tracking system link. Make sure each ad produces a return-on-investment.<br /><br />5. Include Targeted Keywords In Your AdInclude the targeted keywords in the headline and the description of the ad. Google will highlight searched keywords in bold in the ad.When people scan search results, they look for the keywords they have entered. Searched keywords highlighted in bold certainly help to catch the user's attention. For this reason, ads with searched keywords usually perform better than ones without.<br /><br />6. Sell The BenefitsSpell out one or more major benefit in your ad. For example, make more money, stay younger looking, lose weight, get healthier, live happier, etc.<br /><br />7. Include Attention Grabbing Words In Your AdStart your headline with an attention grabbing word. For example, "Free:, New:, Sale:, etc." Make sure you stay within Google's editorial guidelines.<br /><br />8. Use Words That Provoke Emotion & EnthusiasmUse power words or call-to-action phrases that provoke emotion, enthusiasm and a response.Here are some examples of power words:free, cheap, sale, special offer, time limited offer, tricks, you, tips, enhance, discover, fact, learn, at last, free shipping, etc.Here are some examples of call-to-action phrases:* Buy Today - Save 50%* Download Free Trial Now* Sale Ends Tomorrow Make sure the phrase specific to your business, otherwise Google may reject the phrase.<br /><br />9. Sell Your USP (Unique Selling Proposition)What makes your product or service better, or different, from the competition? Spell them out in your ad.For example, one of Amazon.com's first taglines was "Earth's Biggest Bookstore." That's a powerful USP!<br /><br />10. Link To Relevant Landing PagesIf an ad is for a specific product or service, create a landing page for the ad. Include relevant and useful information to convert the customer. Generally, a well designed landing page will almost always convert more visitors than if you simply sent the visitor to the home page.<br /><br />11. Remove Common WordsRemove common words, such as "a, an, in, on, it, of, etc." Remove every word that does not absolutely need to be in the ad. Make every word count.<br /><br />12. Deter Freebie HuntersDeter freebie hunters by including the price of the product or service at the end of the ad.

Some people make a fortune with AdSense, while other site owners only make a few pennies a day.<br /><ul><li>You need lots of visitors to your site </li><li>You need to have good content </li><li>You need to place ads strategically </li></ul>Have you ever wondered exactly what it takes to rake in tons of money with <a class="kLink" oncontextmenu="return false;" id="KonaLink2" onmouseover="adlinkMouseOver(event,this,2);" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" onclick="adlinkMouseClick(event,this,2);" onmouseout="adlinkMouseOut(event,this,2);" href="http://diydollars.com/site-monetization/google-adsense-hacks/#" target="_top" ca_clicked="0">AdSense</a>? Well there are a few basic tenets of AdSense success:<br /><p>Those three points are common knowledge - if you do any reading about how to “do” AdSense, that’s what you’ll hear. All common sense stuff, too.</p><p>So let me share something with you that’s not as commonly known: there is a way to more precisely target your ads toward your visitors. The reason this is important should be obvious - if the ads are relevant to the subject matter, your readers are more likely to be interested in the ads and of course they’ll be more likely to click on them. So how do you target the ads? I’ll tell you a few ways. Let’s call them AdSense hacks.</p><p>Have a strategic naming structure. When at all possible, make sure the directory and filenames of your pages contain the best possible keywords. If a page is about “Spider-Man comic books” make sure either the path or the filename contains those words. Keep in mind that dashes are seen as keyword separators by Google (as opposed to underscores, which are ignored). By doing this, it increases the likelihood that Google will know which ads are most appropriate to display.<br />Filter your ads. In your AdSense account, go to AdSense Setup and click on the Competitive Ad Filter. In the box, type the domain names of the low-paying ads or ads you don’t wish to be displayed.</p><p>Use the Section Targeting feature. Google has a little-talked-about feature called Section Targeting that allows you to specify to Google where your content begins and ends. In effect it allows you to tell them, “Here - this is the part that matters. This is the part that I want you to base your ads on."</p><p>Targeting your ads can make all the difference in the world. So if you have decent traffic to your site but don’t have the click-throughs or if you simply aren’t making much per click, try implementing these “hacks” and see if you make more money.<br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-77899687629235746132007-08-11T15:15:00.000+05:302007-08-11T15:16:43.669+05:30More originality: Google starts user comments serviceThe U.S. verson of Google News has begun allowing people and groups involved in news stories to post their comments about the story, said media reports Thursday.<br /><br /> People or groups that are cited in news stories can submit comments to the Google News team, which will then display those comments — unedited — alongside the Google News links to those stories.<br /><br /> The process is not for everyone, and in fact requires a lengthy verification process of sending off your comment and credentials to a special Google e-mail address, and later verifying your identity via domain name and an e-mail follow-up from Google staff, the reports added.<br /><br /> Google will work with each author individually to confirm their identity by contacting the organization affiliated with the author, contacting local officials or collaborating with journalists, according to the company.<br /><br /> If you pass the test, your comment will show up alongside the article, the reports added.<br /><br /> The new system will at first be deployed only within the U.S., but Google is open to expanding it to other regions if the trial goes well.<br /><br /> The move was "to enhance the news experience for readers," Google software engineers Dan Meredith and Andy Golding stated in a blog post.<br /> Once the new system is in place, Google News will feature something it has never had before: original content. There's a certain amount of "originality" in aggregating news sources from around the world and organizing them into easy-to-click topics.<br /><br /> As a result, Google's move may increase the competition in the online news industry, the reports suggested.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-50471612877442509912007-08-11T14:00:00.000+05:302007-08-11T14:06:07.571+05:30Google AdSense for Games Coming “Soon”Google’s Bernie Stolar and Greg Schaffer spoke at the Casual Connect game convention this week and shared details of <a href="http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/microsoft/archives/118289.asp">Google’s plans to bring AdWords to video games</a> via “AdSense for Games.”<br /><br />…game publishers will be able to use the Google system to put advertising in their games, and advertisers will be able to work through the Google system to buy ad space within games. Schaffer said it will start with ads in Web-based games, with plans to move into PC and console games later on.<br /><br />Google will roll out both video and text-based ads, but there’s no timeframe for launch, other than “soon.”<br /><br />And in case anyone thought Google might have an interest in developing their own video games - they don’t.<br /><br />“I’m going to be very clear right now,” Stolar said. “Google is involved in in-game advertising. I’m going to say it one more time, in case there’s any misconceptions here: in-game advertising. This is an area that Google believes will have tremendous growth over the next number of years. …”<br /><br />“No Gbox, Bernie?” asked Google’s Greg Schaffer, playing along.<br />Nope, no plans for a console, Stolar said. And no “Google Live,” no video-game portal, and no video-game search, he said. Later, Stolar reiterated, “We are not going to be a publisher or a developer or a portal for games, at all. That’s the jobs of everybody here. That’s why we want to partner with you.”<br /><br />So you heard them loud and clear - they’re planning to build mobile video games.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-31477898752166454412007-08-11T13:43:00.000+05:302007-08-11T14:00:02.869+05:30Google AdSense disabling arbitrage publisher accounts as of June 1stNumerous AdSense publishers have been receiving emails from Google the past couple of days stating that their use of their AdSense account is an unsuitable business model and that accounts would be disabled as of June 1st, giving publishers about two weeks notice to prepare for the loss of the AdSense accounts... and since it seems that arbitrage publishers are the ones receiving this account disabled email, to give those publisher enough time to shut down accounts or use an alternative source for their outgoing traffic।<br /><br />Right now, I have only heard from those doing either "Made for AdSense" style of sites or those doing arbitrage, and it does include publishers making significant money per month ($10,000 USD and higher). So they are not giving a pass to those who are earning above a certain threshold. And it seems that no one who is outside of the arbitrage/MFA area of AdSense earnings has been affected thus far.<br />And good news is that Google will be paying out earnings to those publishers, so they do not need to worry that they will lose any income earned thus far.<br /><br />Now, the emails do seem to be staggered, so if you are running arbitrage through your AdSense account, there is always the possibility that you can stop all your pay per click campaigns and hopefully slide through. Likewise, you can try immediately increasing the quality on your "Made for AdSense" style sites or remove them completely, particularly if you do have sites within your account that are non-arbitrage with quality content. But one can assume that account history will play a big part when it comes to these emails being sent out, and having only a couple of non-arbitrage days might not be enough to avoid the email.<br /><br />There doesn't seem to be any appeal process, other than the usual one. And I wouldn't hold my breath that any of these accounts would be reinstated, unless it is a case of some higher quality non-arbitrage sites using the account as well.<br /><br />From a business perspective, it does make perfect sense for Google to make this move, since so many Google AdWords advertisers refuse to advertise on the content network because there are so many "Made for AdSense" style sites as well as those doing arbitrage. So in the long run, it could mean more money for publishers if/as advertisers return to the content network.<br /><br />And if you are not doing MFA or arbitrage? The bad news is that you too will be impacted, although not on an account disabling level. A secondary impact to this is that many of those doing arbitrage with AdWords will likely be pulling their AdWords campaigns unless they can find a suitable alternative to AdSense. This could inadvertantly cause a reduction in AdSense earnings for legitimate publishers as well, at least in the short term. But as I said previously, if the advertisers return to the content network, it would mean more eventual money for publishers, depending on how long it takes for advertisers to start opting back in.<br />Since Google seems to be targeting the whole area of arbitrage (such as the landing page algo for the AdWords quality score that made it harder for arbitrage advertisers to get cheap clicks through AdWords), I think the way they are handling these instances of disabling publisher accounts is much better than what they could have done. Publishers are getting a couple of weeks notice to ensure they aren't sending paid traffic to pages that will no longer be allowed to show AdSense, and they have also guaranteed to those publishers that they will still receive earnings earned, even though the accounts will be disabled.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see what happens as of June first. Will the Yahoo Publisher Network see a sudden influx of aribtrage publishers? Very likely, since the majority of disabled US publishers turn to YPN as a new method of monetizing that traffic.<br /><br />There has not been any kind of official word from Google on this, as of yet, other than the form letter style communications with the publishers whose accounts are being disabled. But it will definitely be something to watch to see how it does all spin out for both the disabled publishers as well as Google.<br /><br />Feel free to comment below if you have been affected, or if you think it is a good/bad move that Google made by disabling publishers.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-16257098497535728532007-08-04T16:50:00.000+05:302007-08-04T16:52:21.002+05:30Next Big Threat: Affiliation Networks for Hackers<div> <p>The next big threat to Web security has less to do with phishing and more to do with affiliation networks, according to a recent Web security report. </p><p>According to Finjan, a San Jose, Calif.-based Web security provider, hackers are now using sophisticated affiliation networks that provide a hosting model for malicious code. Webmasters and bloggers who include the infected code on their sites are then paid according to the number of infected visitors they accumulate. </p><p>Think Google AdSense -- but for hackers. </p><p>Users who run blogs or small Web sites can generate small money through services such as Google AdSense or DoubleClick. </p><p>"You hope somebody will click on those ads to get some pennies," Yuval Ben-Itzhak, CTO of Finjan, said. "But, hackers have realized that with their own affiliation programs, they can encourage bloggers and Webmasters to include their hidden ads in exchange for big dollars." </p><p>In a malicious code package obtained by Finjan, payouts are shown to range from as low as US$15 to as high as $500 (per 1000 infected users) depending on the country. Interestingly, generating infected users from Australia will earn affiliates the high dollar amount. </p><p>Ben-Itzhak said that these hackers can afford pay these huge rates because of the valuable information they gather from infected users. </p><p>"The malicious code includes Trojans and keyloggers that collect data, such as credit card information, which is later sold online for big profits," Ben-Itzhak said. "And because the code is hidden, everyone visiting the site won't suspect it's been compromised and the Webmaster won't be alerted either." </p><p>Ronald O'Brien, senior security analyst at anti-spam software provider Sophos, said that this form of infection is often seen in Web 2.0 sites such as Wikipedia and MySpace because they allow user editing. However, he said, these techniques have now made their way to traditional Web sites. </p><p>"Web sites that don't necessarily promote editing, but because they are architecturally insecure, allow this type of hacking to occur," O'Brien said. "Plus, people who threw up Web sites for the purpose of having a presence on the Web, often did so by using an open-source code, and this has effectively left the keys in the lock for hackers to exploit." </p><p>But Ben-Itzhak said, pretty much any site can be at risk, as these affiliation network techniques have even been used when compromising highly popular Web sites or government domains. </p><p>"When we contact the site owners, they are usually surprised and don't believe they are infected," he said. "But when we show them the code they are shocked." </p><p>Ben-Itzhak said that hackers who can successfully insert malicious code into highly popular and reputable sites are often in a win-win situation. "Firstly, the high-traffic Web sites lead to more users," he said. "Secondly, these high-traffic sites will never be blocked by URL filtering and reputation services because they are established domains." </p><p>This represents a major change from several years ago, when hackers were content with simply changing a Web site's graphics in order to prove they had defaced it, Ben-Itzhak said. </p><p>Statistically, he estimated about 90 percent of malware code found on the Internet today is using hidden code techniques, whether on high-traffic sites or through affiliation partnerships. </p><p>O'Brien agreed, while also citing his company's research to the increase in malicious Web content. </p><p>"At the beginning of this year, we were seeing on average between 5,000 and 7,000 Web pages a day that were hosting malicious content," O'Brien said. "This past June, just six months later, that number is at 29,000 pages per day." </p><p>With these invisible techniques, nothing is being aesthetically changed on the page. And coupling this with the affiliation program may prove to be a deadly combination. </p><p>"These malware writers are basically introducing business concepts into there operation," O'Brien said. "They are actually measuring the effectiveness of their affiliates and paying them accordingly. We have simply never seen this level of sophistication." </p><p>For IT managers wanting to protect their employees while surfing the Web at work, Ben-Itzhak advices enterprises to add a security product that relies on real-time content inspection rather than URL or reputation attributes. </p><p>"I would add a technology that inspects the content as it's about to enter the network and based on the intended behavior of that code," Ben-Itzhak said. "If the code is about to change settings, install software, or delete files on my end-user machine, the code would be blocked on that parameter and not go inside the network." </p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-23984223928386809892007-08-04T16:40:00.000+05:302007-08-04T16:42:12.402+05:30gPhones for Everybody!<p>The kids in Mountain View (i.e.; Google) just never slow down.</p> <p>As if Google Base, Google Maps, Earth, Apps, Gmail, AdWords, AdSense, Blogger, YouTube, and on, and on, aren't enough, they want in on wireless too.</p> <p>The FCC is looking to open bidding on the 700 MHz spectrum in 2008. I'll let <a href="http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/08/fcc-agrees-with.html" target="_blank">Wired handle the explanation</a> of it all, but Google made some progress on a few of their wish list items.</p> <p>Now there are rumors that they are <a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070802-not-one-gphone-but-many-in-the-works-report.html" target="_blank">prototyping a device</a> of their own. These rumors have been out for quite a while truth be told, Google working on a phone that is. The stories circulating indicate that Google will want to make the device and service essentially open by supporting it with Ads.</p> <p><img alt="gphoneguess.jpg" src="http://www.straightupsearch.com/archives/gphoneguess.jpg" height="220" width="260" /><br /><br /><em>(purely a guess - not to be seen as an accurate representation!!)</em></p> <p>Until recently, this would have been folly. Mobile ads in the US simply haven't taken off yet, but that may be changing soon. By in large, the mobile experience isn't all that great due to devices. Apple is changing all of that with the iPhone. Bugs and carrier complaints aside, it must be recognized that the innovation of presentation has started a massive change. Now the browsing experience on the mobile device is very similar to the experience on a computer. This familiarity will probably push innovation and uptake more than anything else.</p> <p>With mobile devices now becoming real connectivity devices, Google has a whole new playground to frolic in. With web-based apps, now Gmail and Google Maps (as just two examples) make a lot more sense on these handhelds, and as such, there is a whole new inventory for Google to display ads. At this point, financially, it's a more realistic model.</p> <p>With archaic, monolithic, wireless providers holding customers hostage with limited phone choices and awful monthly plans, it's nice to see someone shaking, or trying to shake up, the norm.</p> <p>I just hope Google remembers to thank Apple for this opportunity. (Though I'm sure Eric Schmidt - sitting on the Apple board - has probably had a chance to thank Steve Jobs personally.)</p> <p><em>*and I hope the Chip doesn't get mad at me for stealing a little mobile thunder this time around!</em></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-24702574435657148222007-08-04T16:34:00.000+05:302007-08-04T16:39:00.712+05:30Using other people's information to increase your Google Adsense checksAdsense 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. <p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> With all the information that people need is 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. </p> Make other people?s matter your own and starting earning some extra cash<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-76771587806114243642007-07-29T15:33:00.000+05:302007-07-29T15:35:44.739+05:30Microsoft scores a win over Google<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#000000;">There is no free lunch, even in cyberspace. Had the industry heeded that little piece of ubiquitous advice during the dotcom boom years, the bust might never have happened. After wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising (does "because pets can't drive!" ring any bells?), the industry learned that the best way to make money online - sans actually selling something tangible - is by selling ad space, not buying it. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#000000;">Maybe it's no surprise that two of the companies that have learned this lesson best are both sitting in key positions in the industry today: Microsoft and Google. It's also no surprise that these two are each other's biggest competitors in term of managing online advertising. </span></p><div id="hr_1" style="display: none;"><hr /></div> <div id="hr_2" style="display: none;"><hr /></div> <p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#000000;">It's far too early to tell who will win the war, but Google lost one battle last week. Digg.com, which claims it receives over 17 million visitors a month, ditched Google's AdSense, instead opting for a three-year deal with Microsoft to manage its online advertising. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#000000;">Google has been offering AdSence since 2003. At the time it came out, it provided small business with a way to get their products listed on Google's main search page, but not much has been done to enhance AdSense as a business option since. The price of using AdSence has skyrocketed as competition in the bid-for-prime-position scheme has increased, and click fraud - where competing advertisers can drive up the price of rival advertising by repeatedly clicking on pay-per-click ads - has frustrated many users. Google claims to be aggressively combating this type of fraud.</span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-28566939369179919652007-07-29T15:31:00.000+05:302007-08-19T15:20:45.785+05:30Earn More by Section Targeting Google Adsens<p>Ever wonder why the your Google Adsense ads don't make good sense at all. In this article I will teach you about section targeting to insure that your Google Ads match up with the content of your web pages. </p> <p>What is section targeting? </p> <p>Section targeting allows you to suggest sections of your text and HTML content that you'd like Google to emphasize or downplay when matching ads to your site's content. </p> <p>By providing Google with your suggestions, you can assist them in improving your ad targeting. Only those familiar with HTML should attempt to implement section targeting. To implement section targeting, you'll need to add a set of special HTML comment tags to your code. These tags will mark the beginning and end of whichever section(s) you'd like to emphasize or de-emphasize for ad targeting.</p> <p>The HTML tags to emphasize a page section take the following format:</p> <p><!-- google_ad_section_start --></p> <p><!-- google_ad_section_end --></p> <p>You can also designate sections you'd like to have ignored by adding a (weight=ignore) to the starting tag:</p><p>With these tags added to your HTML code, your final code may look like the following:</p> <p><!-- google_ad_section_start --></p> <p>This is the text of your webpage. Most of your content resides here.</p> <p><!-- google_ad_section_end --></p> <p>You can use section targeting to make suggestions about as many sections of a page as you like. However, please be aware that results are not guaranteed, and that it may take up to 2 weeks before website crawlers take into account any changes you've made to your site.</p> <p>In order to properly implement this feature, you'll need to include a significant amount of content within the section targeting tags. Including insufficient content may result in less relevant ads or PSAs. In addition, please keep in mind that this feature should only be used to emphasize significant sections of your site's relevant content. It is against Google's program policies to manipulate the ad targeting to result in ads that are not relevant to the content of your pages.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-55735935642977357812007-07-29T15:24:00.001+05:302007-07-29T15:30:24.693+05:30Google Wants Testers for Mobile AdSense<h2 style="font-weight: bold;" class="artSubtitle"><span style="font-size:100%;">Developers can earn money by accepting AdSense advertisements for mobile devices</span></h2> Google Inc. has begun inviting mobile Web site developers to display Google ads on their sites as part of a limited beta test. <div><p>The offer extends to the mobile environment Google's AdSense program which lets Web site developers earn revenue by placing advertisements on their sites.

Now that we've finished our testing, we're pleased to announce that referrals 2.0 will soon be available to all AdSense publishers in referrals-supported languages.<br /><br />While some of you may already be familiar with referrals for Google products, this launch will greatly expand the inventory and functionality of referrals for AdSense publishers. Below we've highlighted a few of the key benefits of referrals 2.0:<br /><ul><li><b>Expanded product inventory</b>: While many of you have had success referring one of our Google products, some of you weren't able to find a product that fit the context of your site. Referrals 2.0 offers products from thousands of AdWords advertisers, so you can find the right ads for your sites.<br /><br /></li><li><b>Category and keyword targeting</b>: With thousands of products available, it can be difficult to decide which ads will perform best on your site. That's why we give you the option to refer products by category and keyword. You can narrow down the types of ads you want to display and let AdSense figure out which ones will perform best on your site. Whether you want ads for a specific category, advertiser, or product, referrals 2.0 will give you the control to decide.<br /><br /></li><li><b>Ad unit optimization</b>: It can be tricky picking the best ads for your site, so we've included ad unit optimization for referrals. When you create a new referral ad unit, simply select the <b>Pick best performing ads</b> option. We'll then compare your selected ads to other relevant ads, and serve the ads we expect to perform best on your site.<br /><br /></li><li><b>Better targeting for pages with multiple themes</b>: With standard contextual targeting, ads may not match up directly with the text around them if there are a number of themes on the page. With referrals, you can select unique “keywords” for each ad unit to narrow the targeting directly to the theme you want. Better targeting means higher earnings for your site.<br /><br /></li><li><b>Greater compensation for high-quality traffic</b>: Since referrals are paid on a cost-per-action (CPA) basis, your traffic matters. If the traffic you send to advertisers is more likely to turn into a completed sale or lead, you will earn more with referrals.<br /><br /></li><li><b>Add your seal of approval</b>: Unlike AdSense for content ads, our program policies allow you to make <a href="http://adsense.blogspot.com/2007/02/referral-policies-clarified.html">specific references</a> to referral ads on your site. If you endorse the product that you are referring, feel free to let your users know. By adding your personal review of the products you refer, you can help your users make more informed choices.<br /></li></ul>To get started with referrals, click the <b>AdSense Setup</b> tab in your account, then click <b>Referrals</b>. If you don't see referrals 2.0 right away, please check back in a few days, as the feature will gradually become available in all accounts over the next few weeks. Please also keep in mind that for some languages, advertisers are just getting started so ad inventory may be limited at this time. We encourage you to check back frequently to see new offers.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiveE82ytz6h6O99iXumhbvqeOo8isf1p_hHCFrql8GAy8Bt2LEDusrUapNCywKB_iWwFyXcId1PlcHqiE7f0vyTSY09aQoyY4ZAgDmgvaWcjwmLdtk490Mj8Y2RKHyzNR__PA6FGnBJEZ9/s1600-h/Referrals2.0.PNG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiveE82ytz6h6O99iXumhbvqeOo8isf1p_hHCFrql8GAy8Bt2LEDusrUapNCywKB_iWwFyXcId1PlcHqiE7f0vyTSY09aQoyY4ZAgDmgvaWcjwmLdtk490Mj8Y2RKHyzNR__PA6FGnBJEZ9/s400/Referrals2.0.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5081141112194717906" border="0" /></a><br /><br />If you have any questions about how to add a new referral unit to your site, be sure to check out the updated referrals section of the <a href="https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=1449&sourceid=aso&subid=ww-en-et-asblog_2007-06-28&medium=link">Help Center</a>. <br /><br />UPDATE: Clarified that referrals 2.0 is currently only available in referrals-supported languages<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-24644766634789024142007-07-14T13:58:00.000+05:302007-07-14T14:00:12.786+05:30LinkBucks - A Unique Way to Monetize Outbound Links<div class="copy"> <p>I have to say that I'm rarely impressed by new ideas in website monetization, but Linkbucks, as a concept, is fairly revolutionary. The idea is that Linkbucks will display ads on the websites and pages you link to - <a href="http://linkbucks.com/">check out their site</a> for more.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://linkbucks.com/"><img alt="Linkbucks" src="http://www.seomoz.org/images/upload/linkbucks.gif" height="233" width="450" /></a></p> <p>They answered a few of my initial questions on the <a href="http://linkbucks.com/">homepage</a>:</p> <blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"> <p>Currently we pay you $1 US for every 5000 top banner ad impressions, and $1 US for every 3500 intermission ad impressions.</p> </blockquote> <p dir="ltr">This tells me there's the option to display a banner on the page you link to, or the option to use interstitial-style pages, which pay out more (but are undoubtedly more annoying for users).</p> <p dir="ltr">The problems are inherent - your users are suffering through additional advertising for using your site as a reference point. However, some might claim that it's better than showing ads on your own site, and I have little doubt that there are some fairly spammy ways to abuse this network (I note that the site already only counts clicks from certain countries).</p> <p dir="ltr">If anyone's given this service a shot and has experience, I'd be thrilled to hear your take.</p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-36170554243301869372007-06-28T21:27:00.000+05:302007-06-30T15:22:57.724+05:30Surf the net and get paid<div class="widget Image" id="Image1"> <div class="widget-content"> <img alt="" id="Image1_img" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/218/934913760112663/485/z/996464/gse_multipart40056.jpg" height="204" width="386" /><br /><br /> </div> <span class="widget-item-control"> <span class="item-control blog-admin"> <a class="quickedit" href="http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID=7658813522842935514&widgetType=Image&widgetId=Image1&action=editWidget" onclick="'return" target="configImage1" title="Edit"> <span class="quick-edit-icon"> </span> </a> </span> </span> </div><div class="widget Text" id="Text1"> <div class="widget-content"> <strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Make $1,000s every month!</span></strong> Are you getting paid for watching advertisement on TV?

You can put this widget on your site for free and get a good source of content for your site you just have to click get widget.<br /><br />I know you must be wondering what is this widget and how to make it. Friends I will teach you how to make your own widget.<br /><br />Widgets are everywhere on the screen of your PC (when it is on, of course). Buttons, labels, panels, edit boxes are interface components and “interface component” is just another name of the thing that is called “widget”. Widgets can be simple like labels or complex like spreadsheets. Some of them consist of thousands of another widgets, some of them are atomic and implemented only with underlying API. On the web, a thing which I’m constantly talking about, the “underlying API”, or methods that the developer can use for widget building, includes HTML, JavaScript, DHTML, CCS, Ajax and many other technologies. The Clock on the top left corner is also a widget.<br /><br />A lot of widgets have been already created and you can use almost all of them in your Web applications. The market leaders offer you robust toolkits with widget sets that contain general-purpose interface components like buttons, textboxes, trees. Some of them also include components for supporting various animation effects. A few teams focus mainly on one widget: rich editors or accessible menu. These teams create excellent components, but an advantage of the toolkit widget sets is an integration. Toolkit widgets can work together on one form: controls, validators, I/O classes can be easily placed and configured on a Web page.<br /><br />So, if there are a lot of existent components, why to create new widgets? The answer rises when you want to reuse a group of tightly connected interface components of your application. It can be very simple and trivial solution to use “copy/paste” reusing when you want to reuse the code only once, but each such duplication increases maintenance time. Each defect in the duplicated code should be fixed twice. When you remember where a second copy of the code is. Or, which I wish never happen, a third one.<br /><br />Friends you can also convert your blog into a widget as I have done.What you have to do is go to the site http://www.widgetbox.com and in that you make your free account and then start making your widgets.<br /><br />If you want my blidget to be placed on your website then click on get widget or click on the get my blog as widget on the left side.<br /><br />There is another term blidget. This is nothing but widget of a blog which you saw in the begging of my article.<br /><br />Hope this information will be helpful to you.<br /><br /><blockquote></blockquote>Bye<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224347679403235498.post-9231798699763392822007-06-19T15:15:00.001+05:302007-06-19T15:34:52.712+05:30Contact Me for Free<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><embed src="http://www.jaxtr.com/user/flash/smallwidget.swf" name="jaxtrwidget" bgcolor="#ffffff" wmode="transparent" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="titleJaxtr=Connect%20by%20phone%21&userJaxtr=ashik.ratnani&apiURL=http://www.jaxtr.com/user&apiURLAlt=http://www.jaxtr.com/user&sc=Blogger" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" height="270" width="166"></embed><div><a href="http://www.jaxtr.com/user/registration.jsp?userJaxtr=ashik.ratnani&wtype=small&sc=Blogger">Get jaxtr</a> | <a href="http://www.jaxtr.com/user/login.jsp">Login</a></div><img src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/counters/dBFII5RbVxUc8nBdc3bMDTvNxh8YPCZT0EgEosybDqr5AkFpYTTP19uHc3dTNc-mu2vOeGZTkdhOhHC4vr2YILOosyiffOTL_sJIBy9iEfD8jCeISVYuO2Jo8VEveC5OT4Nwx7K_19HBGx42C2LfgA==.tif" style="visibility: hidden;" height="0" width="0" />Guys this Post does not contain any adsense tip but it is for you to notice this freeware that allows you to call your friends for free<span></span> so dont miss this opportunity and now start calling your friends for free.<br />What do you say isn't it cool ?<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" target="_blank"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button2-bm.png" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = 'justashik';</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
