Some Stupid Mistakes In Using Adsense

Making money on the internet has become popular all over the world.And google adsense is one of the common way to earn money on internet.People are using there own tips and techniques to earn money from it.But I noticed they are doing some stupidity in placing ads on their sites/blogs.Here I am discussing with you some of the most common mistakes that people do with google adsense.Avoid doing this stupid mistakes with your blog.

Stupid Mistakes:

1.More Ads:

People have a wrong conception in their mind that placing more ads in their site mean more money which is totally wrong.Smart price is the only thing that has something to do in earning more money from adsense.It depends on many factors like Domain Age, Page Rank, Site Relevance, Impressions, Clicks etc.In short having too many ads pay lot lesser.

It is better to read this great article posted by Darren about smart pricing check out it.

2.Adsense Search Box On New Blog:

Many bloggers use google adsense search box on a new blog.How stupid it looks to use adsense search box on such blog which is yet to crawled by googlebots.I don’t say, you cannot earn money from it but it is mainly for well crawled site.And another disadvantage in using is that it takes your traffic to other site and pays less.

3.Using More Image Ads:

It is another misconception in peoples mind more image ads = more money.It is true that image ads mainly pay more as compared to text ads but it is found that text ads are more clicked as compared to image ads.So whats the point in using it.Placing more text will give you more money.

4.Putting Ads In The End:

I have seen many websites which puts the ads in end of their page and then complaining that Adsense sucks and you failed to earn money.You must use google “heatmap” to find out which is the best place for putting ads.And the right area according to it is right above the content.Putting ads in the end is good for long article as it increases its CTR value.

5.Changing Adsense Code:

You can change the colour, background or border to suite your needs but never change the search code.Do whatever you like outside the code.They know if you are doing this and the code stop working as it violates the TOS.

6.Using Low Paying Advertiser:

Block low paying advertisers with Filters.There is no need to lose a visitor for an ad that will only pay you a cent.Use Google Adwords Keywords tool to discover keywords that are less popular with advertisers.

7.Background Colour:

Google Ads with no background color and no borders will always perform better. Make the border color and background color same as your page background color.

Conclusion:

There is no question to argue that google adsense can be a continuos source of steady income.But it should be remember to avoid mistakes in using it.Quality content, good density of keywords and promoting it can really help you.

Bonus Tip For You:

You can use the AdSense Preview tool to find out what ad campaigns are currently targeted for your site in different geographic regions of the world.

How to make money with Google Adsense

irst I want to say something about google adsense.It is one of the best way to make little money from your blog or website.And that extra cash can even turn into thousands of dollars over time.It has been possible for lots of people.People are so wowed to earn money from google adsense.But i would never say earning money from adsense is easy.If I say, I would be lying to you.
Before discussing how to make money from google adsense I want to discuss few things about google adsense:

What is Google Adsense:
Adsense is a hybrid of google adsense program called adwords.Webmasters pay google for advertising their ads.Every time when ads get clicked google deducts a predetermined amount from their advertising budget.Now we are promoting this adsense on our own sites/blogs.Google pays us certain percentage of what webmaster pays to google.Inshort you are advertising google ads and getting paid whenever ads get clicked.
What Kind Of Website/Blog You Should Have:
1.Make sure you have a specific clear topic.Google always looking to advertise with those website that have well defined topic.More specific topic you have more targeted ads you will thereby increasing your click through rate.
2.You should not have spelling mistakes in your post.
3.Google terms of service states that they do not accept the website that are under construction.To get google adsense your site should look complete
What Kind Of Ads You Get:
It is the best part about google ads.Google read your page title, content etc. and interpret what each page is about.So the ads that show up on your website are relevant to the topics of the page.For better understanding you can even check this page.Two kinds of ads Google adsense for content and for search both are available.
When You will be Paid:
Your account increase as the number of clicks increases.And when once your account reaches to $100 google sends you a check.And you can even direct deposit them directly in your account.
Now you are all set to apply for google adsense.Click here http://adsense.google.com to apply.
How To Make Money With Google Adsense:
Only And Only Need Traffic:
Traffic is the definite must for success with google adsense.It is safe to say that if you are getting atleast 100 unique visitors you will see steady increase in income.And if you don’t learn to generate website traffic than you cannot earn money from google adsense.Money from google adsense completely depends on traffic.Traffic can only be generated by promoting your blog.For promoting it you must have a great content, learn how to optimize your every page in search engine and market your blog.Inshort more traffic more chance to get clicked on ads thus more chance to earn higher money.So you should produce interesting content which forced people to say “Hey this is cool site.I am going to tell my friends about it.”
Read this article to know more about promoting your site/blog.
In Conclusion:
Making money with google adsense takes time and harder work in beggining.If you want to make money with little effort than google adsense is not for you.Your consistent effort is required in making money from it.It is not for lazy people.And as I already say the only thing requires to make money from google adsense is “TRAFFIC”.

Guest posting links help to improve your search engine ranking.It also bring new visitors to your blog.You also get a chance to get free link back to your own blog with your desired anchor text within the content of the blog post.

Opportunity To Turn Visitor Into Subscriber:
When unique visitor visit your blog you get the opportunity to turn this visitor into subscriber.This subscriber are the people that comment on your blog,become your follower and helps sharing with their friends.

Strategic Partnerships:
By doing strategic partnership you can write post and can put it in correct location or you can also get content for your location but this depend on which side of partnership you are.This can be of many forms but guest posting is the most common.

How to Find Blog To Guest For:
I will end this in one line ” Just know your niche and search google”.Visit these blogs and then look for a phrase like “Write for us” or “Become an Author” and start interacting with them via an intro email and/or blog commenting (more on why and how I do this later).

How To Write Guest Post That Get Published:
The best way to do guest posting is to think yourself as reader.Ask yourself do you like this post.Write something that makes readers think – ‘I really want to read more from this person’ and they’ll check you out in droves.

Be a Reader of Your A-List Blog:
You must know what the blogger writes and what kind of article gets published.It is very important to become familiar with the blog where you are guest posting.You must know their guidelines of submission and look at the format which has attracted the most comments.This will really help you to make your guest post gets published.

Write The Guest Post:
Take your best idea, sit down and write the post.Don’t ask why just do it.The important part to notice in this process that you do it before you contact blogger.So you have the time, write it to the best.Your post should not be essay introducing yourself as it becomes headache for the blogger to read.As you know A-List blogger are extremely busy.But if your content is really useful and written well then A-List blogger highly appreciate you for making it easy.

Send Guest Post To Blogger:
After writing your guest don’t send directly to the blogger.Follow this steps:-
1.Say this to your blogger
“Hi xyz. I’d like to publish this guest post on your blog, because I think I have a message that is both valuable to your readers and different from what they’ve been hearing elsewhere:”
2.Now comes the post and send it to the blogger.
3.If you want to send another post than do networking.Don’t be shy about letting your guest post does the talking.
“Hi xyz– Here comes another guest post. You should get a kick out of this one :) Could be interesting for readers if you added your own comments, or even wrote a post from the other side of the conversation.”

Promote The Guest Post:
The last thing you want is your guest post to be a flop, especially when the first time you’ve written for the blog.So if you want your post to be successful don’t think that your job is finished.Promote your guest post with care and toughness.Though you feel bored in promoting someone else blog but it will greatly help your blog and brings unique targeted visitors to your blog.

Reply The Comment:
After promoting your blog post reply directly and personally to each commentors as earlly as possible.Treat their comment as if they were on your blog.The faster and bigger comment section grow makes blogger happy.

What To Do If Guest Post Not Get Publish:
If you contact to the blogger and send your guest post via email but if they don’t want to publish it.Than you can bring some modification to it and post it on other blog(even post it on your own blog).

7 Reason’s how you can beat your competitor blog

[ad] Empty ad slot (#1)!

Everyone aims to beat competitors and be the winners.But this desire to beat your competitors either destroy your blog/site(blog is) or take it to even higher heights.It is very important to understand your competition i.e, how they work and their strategies everything.

Here’s are 7 solid reason how to take your blog/site to greater height.

Know Yourself :
Before you can beat your competition, you have to understand what your site/blog stands for. For example, Apple Inc. stands for cool technology. It will never represent an “enterprise software company,” a chief investment officer’s safe bet, or service and support.
Know your reader :
The second step is to understand truly your readers.You must know what your reader wants and doesn’t want. A great site/blog always listens to what its readers say they want.It is better even to think yourself as a reader.Ask yourself do you like this post, is it informal and wants to share with others.If you say yes than definitely your reader will likes it and wants to share with their friends.But if you say no then stop there and don’t publish it.Focus more on quality than on quantity.
Know your competitors :
You cannot beat your competition unless you understand their strengths and weaknesses. To do that, become your competitors’ reader, subscriber, follower and try to buy their products and services.By doing this you will know how they work and what are their plans.Implement them on your blog one by one and avoid their weaknesses on your blog.You should not implement all of them immediately otherwise it will astray your blog.Start from basic and move ahead.
Focus on the reader :
The best way to beat your competition does not depend on what you can do for them but what you can do for the reader.Your action will determine your success.You will succeed at doing things for the reader by using the knowledge that you have gained in the first three steps: understanding what your blog/site about or does, knowing what your customer or reader wants and needs, and finding what your competition doesn’t do and you can do it.It must be clear that your blog/site or company must solve someone else problem.
Turn reader into subscriber :
There are few things that you can do to beat your competitors.Create a great product or service, ebook or something other for your reader and give it free to your readers after subscription.But it care must be taken that the things you provide must be useful for your readers otherwise it will create negative impact about your blog on your valuable readers.
Play with your minds :
This is the most important point to beat your competitors.If you’re doing all this positive stuff, it’s OK to play with your competitors’ minds.But if you are not doing something creative which will benefit readers and provides more traffic to your blog/site then you cannot beat your competitor in your life.It is important to learn from your competitors but if you want to beat them you have to play with your own minds.What you can do in this depends only and only on you.
Focus on marketing :
I spent considerable amount of time marketing the content that I was writing. People say that Content is King, but I argue that Content is Queen and Marketing is King. So I focused on both writing great content and more importantly promoting it in as many places as I could.You can explored your post to various channel like forums,guest posting,article writing,creating fan page and many more.
