Ad Sensing

I’ve had a Google Adsense Account for a while and in the middle of January I finally put my tax information to get the money, so it said February is your next payment. But while I was waiting this week I checked it and now it says it will give it to me in March. Does anybody know how to get it faster? It dosn’t say the payments are on hold and I have over $100.

Sorry the simple answer is ther is no quicker way. I know this isn’t what you wanted to hear.

I dont quite understand how adsense works. Basically i just put adsense on my blog today and I checked today my stats this evening and found I made a $1.50 and i had 330 page views and zero clicks. How did I make that much? Its an estimate btw.

Advertisers can choose to either pay for clicks PPC or by impressions CPM (1000 impressions have a similar price to 1 click) I believe adsense passes on your earning cut in either case, so perhaps that $1.50 is for impressions.

You will see odd stats, sometimes clicks vanish, perhaps after beings suspected of being faked. With luck it looks like you may be paid in 2 or 3 months at that rate.

If you’ve been using Google’s AdSense on your pages you obviously feel the need to somehow generate even more traffic for your website, which in turn would translate to more AdSense click and a higher income.

But who do you do this? Well, the major way you’ll get visitors to see your website (other then using AdWords, which is encouraged as well) is to use some techniques to have search engines send more and more users towards your page, by ranking high in search results for your topics of interest.

Believe it or not this is a technique, better known as search-engine optimization or simply SEO. So here are a bunch of tips that come handy under every amateur or professional optimizer’s belt.

The first thing you need to take care of is the actual source code and layout of your page. This has to be kept as simple as possible. The problem comes when AdSense and the search engines themselves begin to have troubles in extracting the most relevant keywords on your site because of a too complex layout.

Secondly, try to have each one of your pages target only one specific topic. This way it is a lot easier for them to get indexed properly and for the AdSense ads to be consistent with the content of the site itself.

Also, try not to include too many hyperlinks in your page as well. This also means you should try not to use too many AdSense ads on your page either.

If there are certain keywords you wish to target, make sure the word you wish to target is present in the title, in the first paragraphs as well as in the name of the file. While you’re at it you might want to ensure the word springs up in the page’s last paragraphs.

And of course, it’s very important for your content to have original and compelling content. How do you do this? Well the easiest way to do it is to find something you’re really passionate about. That way, providing you give it a lot of effort you’re bound to have a great page quite fast.

If the content you use in your site is in the public domain (which is highly discouraged) make sure that you at least give it an original title, and add an opening and a closing paragraph of your own.

This takes a little while, but if, after waiting, you still can’t find your page near the top, you should try rewriting your title and your first and last paragraphs. It doesn’t take much, often just changing a few words will give you the right results.

And of, course there’s the use of keyword tools that may aid you in finding some good keywords to include on your page that will drive visitors to your site more and more.

So those are about the basic techniques in search engine optimization. You can find a lot of computer tools to aid you in doing this, and of course, Google is a great place to search for this.

In the end, you’ll find that SEO is a complex topic, and entire books have been written on the topic as well. You might find that you have a lot of optimization you need to do in order to get more and more visitors to your site and clicking those precious AdSense banners.

You need to have optimized niche website templates for best results. You may find the best adsense templates and blog templates at Adsense Big. They are offering 100 fresh new templates every month.

1) I’ve a blogspot site.I use it for google adsense. Can i use seo(search engine optimization) in it?If yes,then plz say how to do it (video/image tutorial link)!
2) Can i use joomla to design my blogspot site?How to do it?

Blogspot blogs have to use the simple platform provided by Google. Really besides optimizing each post for 1 or more search keywords, the main SEO task is getting links from other sites.

An authority on conservative "Whitehat" SEO put together a collection of links that might be helpful.

I’m just having this crazy idea, I’m planning to post comic pages or strips on Blogger, since its generating revenue from Google Adsense, I might profit from this, hehe (me gloating like an alien Ferengi). Will this idea work?

Yeah with considerable effort and work. It will take awhile to get the word out about your site. It’s something that takes a lot of time if you want to make money at it. Read all you can about advertising your site. Then when you are done reading, read some more.

i’m from Bulgaria but i’m moving to England. So if i have bulgarian email adress and youtube account made in Bulgaria does that make it impossible to use google Adsense and monetisation?

I don’t think google will allow to change country or enable youtube adsense on bulgarian account if you are moving to UK. And if you are moving to another country, why not use new account only for youtube adsense and use UK as address? I know its not allowed in thier terms to create more than one account. Try asking on official group/forum of adsense.

I have a website that I would like to display ads on and hopefully earn some revenue.
Can you please recommend me other companies/websites who would provide me with ads to publish on my website? something similar to Google Adsense?
I greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you.

my domain at —> Fiestanator.com <—- contains a simple one page application, it doesn’t need content to function it is just sort of a calculator, i want to be able to put adds on it in some way or another, and google Adsense is the clear choice. The only issue is i keep getting rejected for not having enough content, but it is an application, so i dont have word bsaed content, only some json files which contain data. Please give me an idea on how to get approved, or an alternative.

You can’t. You need to produce a proper web site with content and keywards relevant to that site content. And they do NOT take kindly to ANY web address pushing someone straight onto an application without telling the visitor first that is what they are getting. Any site doing that will soon be listed as a destructive site with every web browser and anti-spyware/virus program in the world. Then your site gets closed down.

How much can i earn from adsense in a month with at least 500 hits per day?

In terms of earning money on Adsense, your mileage varies. One website with 10,000 uniques a day can earn $50 a month while another may earn $5,000. Or a site that receives 500 uniques can earn anywhere from $10 to $1000 or more per month. It is not easy to predict how much you will earn from Adsense. The only way you can learn about how your site will perform with Adsense is through trying it.

The amount you can earn will depend on the

1. Responsiveness of audience to the ads = A travel website that provides information on travel to Spain will attract visitors looking for ways to arrange their travel and spend money on their vacation to Spain. Your site provides the info, but the ads will provide hotels, travel agencies, tourist destinations, car rentals — ads that are likely to get the attention of the users of your site. This is a site that will most likely do well with Adsense. However, if you are a gaming website where the main purpose of the user is to play games on your site, then Adsense will not perform as well.

2. Ad format = some types of ads do better than others depending on your content and layout. In our case, large rectangles in the middle of the content is the best, while leaderboards do not generate as much as income. Skys are the worst for us. Experiment and measure the results via channels and see which formats work best for you.

3. Ad placement – check Google’s heat map as they have tested where the best placements are https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=17954&ctx=en:search&query=adsense+heat+map&topic=0&type=f

4. Ad colors – sometimes ads blended into the content works wonders, but sometimes ads that contrast your site colors work best

5. Number of ad units on a page = we are allowed maximum of 3 ads + 1 ad links + 1 search box on a page. Maximize the allowed number based on the resulting look of your page (you don’t want an overkill of ads). Users going to your page and reading your content may ignore the banner or rectangle at the top of the page, but may click on the ad at the bottom of the article

6. Smartpricing – the big unknown in Adsense. No one knows how this actually works. But it can affect the pricing of the ads on your site. If the advertiser paid for $0.50/click – but your site is smartpriced – then the cost may be discounted lower (e.g. $0.25). So you may try to develop a site based on high paying keywords but if smartpricing gets to you, then you may not get as much per click as what you are expecting from your keywords.

Here is Google’s explanation of smart pricing https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9562&query=smart+pricing&topic=0&type=f

Google’s smart pricing feature automatically adjusts the cost of a keyword-targeted content click based on its effectiveness compared to a search click. So if our data shows that a click from a content page is less likely to turn into actionable business results — such as online sales, registrations, phone calls, or newsletter signups — we reduce the price you pay for that click.

Experiment with the factors above (except smartpricing, which you can’t control), and see which combination works best. Remember though that not all sites do well with Adsense – even if you get gazillions of traffic but your visitors are not interested in looking for ways to spend their money, they won’t be interested in your ads and won’t click.

I am starting to brainstorm ideas for my blog. After I am done, do I submit it to Google OR must I include my own ads and advertisements?

Any suggestions about my blog? I was thinking about "how to lose baby weight"

ANY thoughts please 🙂

You can apply for adsense. But sometimes they will reject you.
I would check out this site for alternatives:
