Why and How To Protect Adsense Account From Invalid Clicks?

Do you know your Adsense Account is in danger, yeah this is not an April fool prank or anything like a joke, this is as true as you are breathing from some past days many bloggers experiencing heavy invalid activity in their Adsense account.
You may have also experienced that number of clicks are much more than as comparison of the Estimated Earnings, especially from some countries like United states clicks are coming fluently but no money, CPC from such countries lies somewhere between $0.01 – $0.04 which is too less and this Cost per Click clearly saying that these clicks you are getting on your Ads are not Genuine for sure.

Many Bloggers and Webmasters have lost their Adsense Ads in some past days because of this invalid activity or some other reasons.
Zac Johnson lost his 10 years old adsense acccount. Read his story
Just few days ago,  Theodore had been slapped by adsense. Read his story
and also because of their unawareness, so this is highly recommended that you won’t make such mistakes and keep your Adsense Account safe and secure.

How to know the Country from where invalid clicks are coming from ?

Many of you may already know about this but some don’t, so let me explain how to know from which country your Adsense Ads are getting unusually clicked, to find this out just follow these steps…
1.    Log in to your Adsense Account.
2.    Click on Overview this month.

3.    Select the Today date from the upper right corner.

4.    Now click on Countries from Left sidebar.

5.    Now carefully checkout the no. of clicks in front of each Country name.

If you detect any country from where clicks have been done but CPC from there are very low then it simply means that your Adsense Ads are in danger.

How to Protect Your Adsense Account?

See if you are getting unusual clicks on your Ads, then first of all you try to detect the IP(s) of clicker and if you successfully detect those IP’s then just block them to showing Ads so that they won’t see your Ads and this way they cannot click on your Ads.
If you’re unable to fetch the IP address from where clicks are being performed then you most recommended way to keep your Adsense account safe is that, you must stop showing ads on your site for at least sometime, because if you stop publishing ads on your sites for some time/days it may cause loss of some Dollars to you but if you cannot prevent it then you may loss your Adsense for forever, which sounds so bitter to any blogger.

Note:
It has been also seen sometimes that CPC are good and clicks are coming in bulks (more than expectations), but those were also invalid clicks.
To understand this better, suppose one person click on your Ad, Google gave you $2.0 for that one click which means click : 1 and CPC : $2.0 then 9 clicks are also done by an other person which are invalid clicks and Google haven’t gave you anything for those clicks, now your stats will show click : 10 and CPC : $0.20 which also looks good and generally we think it’s Ok if CPC is good but as you in example it’s not always okay.
So if you ever feel unusual increase in no. of clicks on your Ads you must report to Google regarding this to keep your side strong.

8 Reasons Why I Hate Google Adsense

No doubt, Google adsense is one of the best way to make money from website. But I am not using it anymore.

I often get asked Ammar, Why you don’t use google adsense?
There are many reasons and here is my answer to this question. In this post I explain Why I hate Google Adsense and why google adsense sucks!

8 Reasons Why I hate Google Adsense?

You may think I have personal reasons for writing this post.
No, this is not like that.
I don’t want any new bloggers, my web friends and new web-masters to quit blogging just because google adsense is not approving their blog. There are far better ways to make money without adsense.
Let me know in comments if you want me to write another post on making money without adsense.

1. AdSense Make Readers Leave The Site

The first thing I hate about google adsense is it make the readers leave the site.
How?
When someone click on ad, they leave your site. Because adsense links doesn’t open in new tab. Majorty of Adsense ads are CPC based. In order to make money readers have to leave your blog.
So, would you like to lose readers just for few cent?
The visitor that leave your website can be;

• A lost subscriber
• A lost sale
• and so on..

2. Getting approved is so hard!

I’ve been asked so many times by other bloggers, why google adsense is not approving their sites.
Google is getting strict day by day. They don’t approve any blog easily even if its six month or one year old. If you make site perfect to apply for adsense. There are less chances they’ll approve the site.

3. Too many rules to follow, Huh?

Just Try reading their terms and Conditions you’ll know what I mean.
They have too many rules to follow. Even if you follow them, they’ll ban your adsense account. Once you get ban, you’ll never get adsense back!

4. Email Support Just Sucks!

Google adsense have email support. But you’ve to wait for too many days to get reply from them.
You might need another support to get their reply.

5. Once you get banned, you can never get back in.

If you try getting approve for adsense for a new blog. They won’t approve your application. Even if you follow all the google adsense rules and TOS. There are chances that adsense will ban your website.
Once you get banned just forget adsense. They won’t let you to get back in the program again.

6. Low Cost Per Click (CPC)

If you are not from US or Western Europe – forget about big earnings.
For rich European countries price per click is relatively good. It could be $1 2$ or even more than this. It depends on keywords.
So, If you are getting daily 100-1000 daily you won’t earn much money.
That means, if your sites get small portion of such traffic – you will receive $0.01 – $0.05 for clicks.
Might be around 1$-10$ a month. Adsense pays very less per click.
If you have high traffic, many big advertisers will contact you to pay much better than adsense.

7. Little Editorial Control

Do you know Google has over 100,000 advertisers or might be more than this.
You have no control which one can advertise on your blog or not. Isn’t that sucks?

If you want full control over ads you can use OIOPublisher for WordPress. This is the best plugin to manage all ad spot, advertisers, payments and stats.

8. Big delay in payment

First in order to receive money from adsense you have to verify your home address. Adsense sends pin that might take 2 or 3 months depend on where you live.
Adsense minimum payout is 100$, once you reach this minimum amount. You have to wait for many weeks or a month to receive checks.
Your thoughts please
So above were few reasons why I hate google adsense [You Should too!]
My blog niche is blogging, most of readers are bloggers and webmasters. They don’t click on adsense and other reasons for not using adsense are given above. That’s why I am not using google adsense anymore on this blog.
I haven’t listed other reasons why AdSense sucks and it is not really the best way to make money from blogging, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on the subject.
Leave me a comment below as always. I’d be glad to hear from you.

5 Question to Ask Before Using Google Adsense

Are you currently using Google Adsense on your blog, or even thinking about it?
 
Then stop here now!

You’ve to ask Five Question to yourself Before Using Google Adsense.

This blog post just might open your eyes to what you might be doing to your blog and audience for just a few dollars. There was a previous post on this blog titled “12 Things to Do Before Applying for Google Adsense“, which walks you through the process of what you need to make sure you blog looks like and has before applying to Google Adsense. We are going to take that same approach, but with a few different questions to ask yourself if you really want to sacrifice your blog and traffic to the almighty Google Adsense!

How much is your site traffic worth?

Before using any advertising solution, you need to know what your traffic is and how much they are worth. Entertainment sites and blogs have a low value per user, as they are pretty much there just to view pictures and get news. Product reviews and coupon sites have a high value per user, as they are already in buyer mode. Knowing your average visitor value is a very important thing to know!

Are you playing by Google’s rules at all times?

Lately Google has been on a tear and throwing many sites out of their Google Adsense program. No matter their reason Google may banner your account, once you are tossed, you are gone for good and they will also keep all of the money remaining in your account as well. Do you really want to work with an ad network that can keep all your profits from this and the previous month? As a Google Adsense partner, you always need to play by their rules at all times.

Can you make more money going directly?

Have you even thought about selling your own banner ad space? There is a good chance you can find a quality advertiser in your niche that will pay a much higher CPM premium over what Google Adsense will pay you. If you are running 125×125 banner ads on your site you can probably fill four to ten of these banner spots and make several times more than what Google Adsense could ever earn you.

Are you killing your profits by using Google Adsense?

One of the best ways to kill your profits is by throwing Google Adsense on your site. If you are selling products, trying to get people on your mailing list or get them to take any other action… Google Adsense will hurt you. Keep your focus on your end goal of either getting people on your list or getting them to take action. If you have a solid monetization plan for your site, Google Adsense probably shouldn’t be one of them.

Lastly… do you like giving away your traffic for a few pennies per visitor?

When did you last click on a Google Adsense banner?
I’m not sure if you remember.
But whenever someone clicks on any Google Adsense banner, they leave the site they are currently on and get swooshed off to another site. Most of the time Google Adsense is only paying a few pennies per click. Are you losing your traffic for just a few pennies? If you are, it’s not a good business model at all!
Don’t get me wrong…
Google Adsense has made BILLIONS of dollars for Google and their publishers… but there is a reason why it’s so ridiculously easy and simple to setup. Google is making a ton of money by lazy site owners just placing a code on their site and not knowing better. There is nothing wrong with using Google Adsense, but there are much better and more profitable ways to make money!

How to get Approval for Google Adsense account in 2013

Google Adsense is one of the best and most popular monetizing options for a blogger, but today getting Adsense approval is just like you want to run on the moon, Google is very strict with their Adsense policies because of lots applicants, and thousands of bloggers applying for Adsense daily.

First I will tell you how you can get Adsense approval, before start writing anything on your blog read the Adsense guidelines carefully.

Guidelines for Adsense Approval

Create Great and Unique Content         

Google always appreciate Good work of publishers, and when they start reviewing your website they search for the quality first, your blog should have quality content, when you write quality content then your readers will love your blog and if your readers are happy it means you are satisfying a Google condition for a Blog and website.

Quality never refers to the uniqueness, maybe your content is quality content but not unique, there are many blogs who publish the same kind of content, so uniqueness is very important for a make sure you are writing some quality unique articles on your blog to maximize your approval chances.

Build some Links           

Link building plays important role in Adsense approval, if your site has backlinks from some higher authority sites then it means Google can trust your website for the quality and other factors, it will improve your chances to get approval.

There are many ways to build backlinks for your blog, for example you can write guest posts on other blogs, you can comment and build relations with other bloggers, also you can use adword to advertise your blog and website.

Link Your Blog to Analytics and Webmasters

Every blog must be linked to analytics and webmasters, you are going to apply google Adsense and these both are google services, so they can get better and accurate information about your blog and websites.

Neat Design and Navigation

Google always works only for their users, and they don’t want their users to visit those sites which don’t have a good design and improper navigation, so if your site doesn’t have a good design and navigation then you may get penalties from Google and your adsense will also not approve.

Remove all other Ads Before Applying

If you are using other advertising networks then remove them before applying for an Adsense account , because google don’t want you to use other advertising network and more advertisements means less user experience, and google always focuses on rich user experience, and some advertising networks are compatible with Adsense not so avoiding any kind of ads before submitting your application.

Use Images with Credits

Google strictly follows their guidelines for content, so avoid using images which you search for web for your blog post, if you have little knowledge of photoshop then you can create your own images and Google will love them, but in case you are not able to create or design an image then give the proper credits to the author or designer of that image, this is a Good blogging practice so you should apply it always.

Increase Traffic from Search Engines

Search engine traffic means your blog is a quality blog, because search engines spend millions to improve their user experience, and if you get the traffic you are getting good traffic from search engines then your chances of approval is high, and another reason is Google is a contextual ad network so Google shows those ads or ads of those products which user were searching.

Say No to illegal Content

Illegal content means, if you are dealing with the content for adult audience or you are sharing hacking and gambling related articles on your blog then google will not approve your application for Google Adsense, so always follow their guidelines for content.

All these points are already mentioned in Google Adsense polices but most of bloggers never read them and some of them never understand their policies.

Create All Important Pages

Most of the bloggers never create pages on their blog, you should create these pages before applying for Adsense.

About

Contact

Privacy Policy

Terms and Condition

Archives

These pages are important for a blog and you should create them first and then apply for Adsense, if everything goes right you will get your Adsense approval.

How To Transfer Adsense account to another Email

Adsense is the one of the best monetizing options for publishers, but getting an Adsense approval is a difficult task, google is very strict with their Adsense policies, I also got Adsense after 3,4 disapprovals, but when you apply for Adsense from same email, then you will not able to apply from same email account after 3 rejections, to apply again you have to  create a new email account to apply.

When I got Adsense approval in 5^th Attempt, I was applying with 1 month old website so they gave me different reasons of disproving my request, but after 3 months of domain purchase I got approval but from different account which I created for Adsense.

But I was not using that new email regularly for normal use, but Now I found the way by which you can change your Adsense email account to your primary email, which you use for all purposes like analytics, Feedburner Google plus and other google services.

This Option is still in beta, and this will also help to those publishers who share revenues with their writers, authors or with other partners.

Few Simple Steps

All you need to do is  login into your Adsense account, click on home and go to Account Settings

Now scroll down to Access and Authorization section,

Here you will see users with Sign In access option, add your Email account to where you want to transfer your Adsense account and click on Invite Button.

And if you want to Remove Adsense from the current Adsense Login, then also give the Administrator privilege to new email.

 

Now Go to Gmail.com and Login to confirm the invitation request, click the confirmation link and you will find a New window of notifications.

 

Select or change your email subscription settings with Adsense, and click Save changes.

Now Again you will see the dashboard of Adsense but this time from new email account, now go to account settings again.

Now in Access and the Authorization section remove the administrator privileges from your old Adsense login email.

Now your new email is the only Adsense login, for that publisher ID.

You can keep both email accounts or you can also invite others if you are sharing revenue with others.

How to Use AdSense on a Blog

 

Google AdSense is an advertising program that is open and available to those who own and operate websites, including blog sites. The program works by displaying text or image advertisements in certain locations of your blog and it rewards you with income for every visitor that clicks on one of the advertisements. Profiting by using the AdSense program takes a lot of effort and discipline, but prolific bloggers have been known to earn 6 figure incomes from AdSense alone. If you write a blog, you might want to learn how to use AdSense on a blog successfully.

Steps

1. 1
   Determine if your blog is eligible for AdSense. Just because you run a blog does not mean you automatically qualify for the AdSense program. Google has a policy for selecting and approving websites that are eligible to be part of their AdSense program. For example, if your blog is adult-oriented or illegal, Google reserves the right to deny you entry into the AdSense program. You can read more about Google AdSense policies on their website.
2. 2
   Increase your blog's level of traffic. AdSense runs on a pay-per-click system, meaning you only get paid when people click on the advertisements on your blog. One way to increase the number of clicks you receive is to increase the total number of visitors to your website.
   • Write high quality and unique content. In order to draw in as many visitors as you can, your blog must be full of unique content that visitors cannot find anywhere else. Not only that, but your content must be high quality. Uniqueness will draw them in and high quality will keep them coming back for more.
   • Optimize your content for search engines. There is an entire paradigm of blog design known as Search Engine Optimization (SEO) which works to make sure that your blog content will be indexed by search engines and shown to visitors who search for relevant keywords.
   • Promote your blog on the Internet. When you visit another blog that covers topics related to your own blog, you may want to comment on their blog posts and leave a link back to yours. Seek out forums and communities that fall into your target niche and let them know that you're running a related blog.
3. 3
   Optimize your blog design for AdSense advertisements. The AdSense program allows you to choose where to display the advertisements and the color scheme of the advertisements. Changing the location of your advertisements can mean the difference between numerous clicks and no clicks at all. Choose a location that is free from clutter and immediately visible upon visit.
   • The recent trend with AdSense bloggers is to place their advertisement locations in line with their blog posts. For example, you may want to put your advertisements below every post on your blog. This way, the advertisements are visible yet they blend in with the blog's design.
   • Place your advertisements near the top and left of the main page. According to research conducted by Google, advertisements in these locations tend to fare better than elsewhere. This is likely due to the advertisements' immediate visibility upon visiting the blog.
4. 4
   Make sure your AdSense advertisements are relevant to your blog. If you're blogging on mobile technology but your advertisements are for pet health and pet care, your visitors are not likely to click. On the other hand, if you're blogging about computer games and your advertisements are for high quality keyboards and mice, you're more likely to catch your visitors' eyes.
   • One way to ensure that AdSense delivers relevant advertisements to your blog is to make sure that your blog's content is specific and focused. Instead of running a golf blog, you may want to run a golf blog for women or a blog dedicated to reviewing golf clubs. The more specific your content is, the more targeted your advertisements will be.

How to Earn Money Through Google Adsense

Money for nothing? Well, not quite—but close! Google’s AdSense is a revenue-sharing opportunity for small, medium and large web sites that places ads for goods and services that are relevant to the content of your site, targeted to the people who frequent your pages. In turn, you get paid a small amount when the ad is either displayed on your page, or clicked on. We'll show you some good ideas that added to your own, will help increase your AdSense revenue.

1.

Creating an Ad Unit

1. 1
   Sign into your AdSense account. Go to AdSense, and click on My ads in the upper left.
   • Create a new Ad unit. In the main screen area, under Content > Ad units, click the +New ad unit button.
     
     
2. 2
   Name your ad unit. This can be any name that suits you, but many find creating a standard naming format helps them manage large amounts of data.
   • For example, using [target site for the ad]_[ad size]_[ad date] is one approach, that would look like this: mywebsite.com_336x280_080112. Whatever format you decide to use for naming, make that your standard.
3. 3
   Pick a size. See "How to Do It" below for details, but Google has found best practices that generate more clicks.
4. 4
   Set your ad type. This determines the types of ads you will see on your website: text only; text and image/rich media; and image/rich media only.
5. 5
   Create a custom channel. A custom channel lets you group ad units however you choose, such as by size or location on a page.
   • You can track performance by custom channel, and turn your channel into a targetable ad placement so advertisers can target their ads to your ad units.
6. 6
   Create your ad style. This lets you choose colors for the various components of an ad: border, title, background, text, and URL. It also lets you choose corner styles, from square to very rounded, a font family, and a default font size.
   • It's good practice to create an ad style that harmonizes with the look and colors of your website.
   • You can use Google's presets, or use your own custom settings. In either case, a sample ad on the right will show you how your ad will appear
     
     
     
7. 7
   Get the code for the ad. When you're done with the ad setup, either save your ad unit, or click the Save and get code button at the bottom to get the HTML code for your site.
   • If adding code to your site is a puzzle you want help with, click here for Google's code implementation guide.
     
     
     

How to Design Your Ad Campaign

1. 1
   Analyze your content. In designing any kind of ad campaign, it's crucial to know who your target is. If you're writing a food blog that caters to single men on a budget, for example, you've narrowed the scope of who you will be appealing to. You've also got a very good focus point for your ads. What are things single men who cook drawn to? Here are some possibilities: dating, cars, movies, politics, and live music.
   • Think about who frequents your website, write down what you feel are the most important characteristics of your viewers.
2. 2
   Fine tune advertisements. While AdSense will auto-populate your page with what they feel are relevant ads, use their tools to provide tighter controls.
   • Set up channels. Channels are like labels that let you group your ad units your way—by color, category, or pages. By setting up channels, you can get detailed reports on the performance of your ad units, and use that to your advantage. For example:
     • Use one style of ad on one group of pages, and another style on another group. Track and compare the performance of the two styles, and pick the best performer.
     • Compare performance on pages that focus on different things. For example, if your pages about gardening perform better than your pages on cooking, you might consider adding more to your gardening pages.
     • If you have separate domains, set up a channel to track each of them to see which is generating the most clicks.
3. 3
   Optimize your ad placement and site design. Google has found there are places where ads are more effective, and places where they are less effective.
   • Ads that appear when you first arrive at your page (i.e., "above the fold" as they say in the newspaper world) tend to be more effective than those that are below the fold.
   • Ads on upper left tend to perform much better than ads on the lower right.
   • Ads directly above the primary content, and ads that appear at the bottom of the page and above the footer tend to perform very well.
   • Wider ads are generally more successful, as they are much easier to read.
   • Ads that display images or video perform very well.
   • Using colors that complement your website colors will make them more readable, and so more effective.
4. 4
   Learn how AdSense works. AdSense automatically sends ads to your site based on a few different criteria:
   • Contextual targeting. AdSense crawlers scan your page, analyze your content, and serve up ads designed match your content. They do this using keyword analysis, word frequency, font size, and the link structure of the web.
   • Placement targeting. This allows advertisers to choose to run their ads on specific subsections of a publisher's website. If your website matches an advertisers criteria, their ad will appear on your page.
   • Interest-based advertising. This lets advertisers reach users based on their interests and the user's previous interactions with them, such as a visit to their website. Google's Ads Preferences Manager allows users themselves to choose their interest categories, which further helps advertisers focus their ad campaigns. This method is good for monetizing your site more efficiently, as it increases the value for advertisers and provides a more relevant experience for users.

What's it Worth?

1. 1
   Manage your expectations. When you sign up for AdSense, you'll want to know what kind of revenue can you expect to see. There is a lot that goes into what kind of return you can expect, and managing those things will help you maximize your earning potential.
2. 2
   Traffic. First and formost, in order to generate any kind of revenue from AdSense you must have people clicking on your ads. In order for this to happen, you need to have people on your site, reading your content! Whether you have a business website, or a personal blog, the rule is the same: Get the word out!
   • Heavily trafficked large sites can see over a million hits a day, whereas a blog might feel lucky if they have 100 visitors a day.
   • For every thousand page impressions (views) you receive, you may earn from $.05 to $5. Yes, that's a broad range—over a month, that is between $1.50 and $150.00! Where in that range you can expect to frequent depends entirely on you, your site, and your promotion efforts.
3. 3
   Cost Per Click (CPC). This paid every time somebody clicks an ad on your page. No, you can't click your own ad—Google will see this, and shut you down so fast your head will spin. The advertisers set the price for these ads, and they can vary greatly.
   • An advertiser may spend a lot on a per-click basis, but that ad may generate very little interest on your site. #*An ad that may generate $.03 per click may get 100 hits, but that doesn't add up to much.
4. 4
   Clickthrough Rate (CTR). This is the percentage of visitors to your site compared to how many them actually clicked on an ad. If 100 people came to your site, and 1 of them clicked an ad, your CTR is 1%, and that's not an unreasonable number. You can see how getting more traffic to your site will really make a difference.
5. 5
   Revenue per 1000 impressions (RPM). This is an estimate of how much you might receive if you have 1000 impressions (page views).
   • If you made, for example, $1 for 100 impressions, your RPM would be $10. There is no guarantee you'll make that, but it's a good way to check the overall performance of your site.
6. 6
   Content is king. The quality of your content is an important factor in understanding your earning potential. If your site provides rich, compelling content and a great user experience, you will have more interested users. Google's crawlers will also have an easier time determining the type of ad content would best fit on your site. Interested users + targeted ads = $$$
7. 7
   Start building keyword-rich pages. Liberally seed with well researched, profitable keywords, and get lots of high quality links to your site.
   • If your site is about topics such as debt consolidation, web hosting or asbestos-related cancer, you’ll earn much more per click than if it’s about free puppies.
   • If you concentrate only on top-paying keywords, you’ll face stiff competition. What you want are keywords that are high in demand and low in supply, so do some careful keyword research before you build your pages.

Google Adsense is a quick and easy way to monetize your website. With Adsense you can display text and image ads that are targeted to match the subject matter of a website page.

This means that if you create an article covering ‘DotNetNuke Skins’ the ads from Google Adsense will display DotNetNuke related advertisements.

You earn money from the advertisements on a cost-per-click basis. The amount that you earn per click varies dependant on the keyword and the number of advertisers bidding for that keyword.

The Advertisements

The adverts displayed by Google come from the Google Adwords service:

This is where advertisers can bid to display their advert whenever a user searches on Google for a certain keyword. An advertiser also has the option to display their advertisements on the publishing network (websites that display Google Adsense).

Displaying Google Adsense

You can choose from a variety of advertisement banner sizes to display on your website along with options for customizing the colour of the text adverts. This allows you to easily format the advertisements to match the design style of your website.

Once you sign up for a Google Adsense account you can configure the banner style and colours that you wish to use. Google will supply you with the JavaScript code that you need, all you have to do is paste the JavaScript into the source code of your website.

How Much Can You Earn?

How Much Can You Earn?

There are several factors that affect how much you can earn from Google Adsense. Some Adsense publishers earn a five figure income each month whereas others earn a few dollars per month. Your income from Adsense depends on:

• The cost per click for each advertisement
• The number of visitors / page views your site receives
• CTR - Click Through Rate for the ads

You have to earn $100 or more before Google will issue a payment to you. The total is rolled over each month until you exceed $100.

Adsense Tips

If you view the resources at the end of this article there are several links to articles already created that outline tips for increasing Adsense revenue. Here I will outline the main tips:

Ad Placement

The position of the Adsense advertisements is very important for increasing click through rates. Google have created a heatmap to help you decide the best placement for your ads.

Number of Ads

You are allowed to display up to 3 ad units on a page and a single link unit. If you can, make the most of this and display all of these ads using different combinations of banner sizes and locations across your page.

Colour of Ads and Blending

Research has found that the best CTRs are achieved by blending the advertisements to match the style of your website design. For instance, remove all of the borders from the ads and change the colour of the text links to match the colour of the links within your own website. This helps to create the perception that the links are part of the page and not advertisements.

Other techniques are to place images alongside the advertisements in order to grab the attention of the visitors’ eye. Be careful with these techniques though as Google is known for banning publishers who try to trick visitors to click on the adverts.

A Guide to Understanding Google Adsense Rates

 

 Trying to understand Google’s rates for their Adsense ads can be just as confusing to the layman as trying to figure out a calculus problem. For this reason, many people do not take full advantage of all that Google has to offer. Many people simply sign-up for Adsense, go through the process of figuring out how to add it to their site, and cross their fingers. However, there is a little more to the process of Google Adsense rates than pure luck.

CTR, CPC, and RPM: Greek Terms to Most
When trying to understand the rates for Google’s ads, you need to understand these three terms: CTR, CPC, and RPM. But what do these three sets of initials mean?
CTR
CTR is a set of initials that Google uses for the Click-Through-Rate. But how is this figured? Simply put, the CTR is the number of clicks that each ad gets, divided by the number of impressions, then multiplied by 100.
However, there are two different CTRs to contemplate. There is a CTR that is composed of the number of visitors to your site, and a CTR that is composed of the number of pageviews on your site. Viewing both of these different types of CTRs can lead you to completely different numbers.
If each of your visitors clicks on several different pages of your website, the numbers for your pageview can be dramatically distorted.
Therefore, a better way of measuring your ad rate would be to predict the value of your keyword. To learn how to predict the value of your keyword, follow along to understand CPC.
CPC
CPC stands for cost-per-click. The first step to finding the CPC is to use the Google Adwords Keyword Tool. By plugging your word into this tool, you can find how much advertisers are willing to pay to get an ad listed on google.com for that keyword.
Now, that is not your rate for that ad on your website. Those advertisers will only pay about 30 percent for that ad to be posted on your website. So, take thirty percent of that number and that will be the CPC for that ad on your website.
RPM
Another way of measuring your Google Adsense rate is RPM. RPM stands for Revenue per Mille, or page revenue per 1000 impressions. This is the amount that Google calculates you will make for every 1000 views to your site. However, this only works well for larger sites with more views, since the number of visitors can vary based on a variety of things.
The Best Way
Therefore, the best way to measure your Google Adsense rate seems to be the CPC, or the cost-per-click. By using the Google Adwords Keyword Tool, you can plug your keyword in to find the amount that advertisers will pay for their ad to be placed on google.com, then find 30 percent of that number to find how much the advertiser will pay to post ads on your site. From that point, you simply need to work on improving your website, using your Google Adsense ads in the best way possible, and promoting your website to maximize your profits with Google Adsense.

10 Amazing Google Adsense Tips and Tricks

Working with Google Adsense to generate a profit can be somewhat daunting, especially when you even think about all of the advanced algorithms that Google uses to weed out sites. But I have assembled 10 amazing Google Adsense tips and tricks that will help you improve your knowledge and your earnings with Google’s ad program.

1) If you want to maximize your profits, make sure to create more than one website.
However, you don’t want to start off by creating 100 websites. Maintenance for that many sites, at first, would be hectic. While having only one website would be the easiest to maintain, it also increases your chances of being cut out altogether by the latest algorithm update. So, you want to have a few websites up and running. Then if the latest algorithm forces one website out, you still have a few others to generate income from while you work on the affected one.

2) Pick a niche to write about per site.

Creating a site that discusses any topic under the moon may be easier to find the desire to update, but it will make it difficult to create constant traffic, make it hard for the Google search engine to rank your site, and cause trouble generating ads that are on topic.
Also, if you only pick one subject to focus on, you can go more in-depth and gain expertise in that field. This makes your website more profitable for users and yourself.

3) Create a site about something you are already interested in!
This Google Adsense tip only makes sense! Making your site about something that you like makes it more fun in the long-run for you to continue managing your site. If something is less like work, then you are more likely to do it. Constant updates on your site is good for traffic and search engines, which generates clicks on your ads.
However, don’t create a site about something that is not in demand. Just because you like to study rare deep-sea anglerfish doesn’t mean that everyone else does. If you want to maximize your profits, you will need to give information about something that the general public will be researching.


4)Do not put Google Adsense on a brand new site!
When building a new site, wait until you have completed the site, you have built inbound links, and you are getting traffic. A brand new site can leave your ads being off topic and difficult to follow.
Also, if you try to apply to Google Adsense too early when your website is brand new, you will most likely be turned away. Google wants to know that your site has enough traffic so that putting their ads on your page will be profitable to them and you. They don’t waste time on beginner or spammy sites.

5) Do not put images next to your ads!
While many people did this for years and it worked successfully, it now against Google’s policies to do so. This is considered to be ‘encouraging clicks’ which is prohibited. If you do so, you may get more clicks for a bit, but you will quickly be caught and banned from having Adsense on your page. And once you are banned, you cannot get your account back into good standing.

Here is a free additional Google Adsense tip: If you haven’t read Google’s Adsense policies, I seriously suggest doing so.

6) Place images in optimal places on your site.

Ads that are higher on the site get clicked more often, which generates more income.


7) If you want to maintain optimal profit, do not put your ads on affiliate sites.
While well-known affiliate sites may get you more clicks than your own brand new site, you cannot depend on these sites to earn a maximum profit. It can be considered as a violation of the rules and regulations of Adsense. Moreover, each of the affiliate sites charges a percentage of your earnings to be able to post on their site. So, work on your own site, promote it to generate traffic, and be patient. Having ads on your own site will be better for you in the long-run.


8) Make sure to update your site on a regular basis.
If you create a site and leave it for a few months, you may find that your traffic has dropped significantly. Therefore, your amount of clicks and pay has dropped as well.
No one wants to visit a site that has grown stagnant and has old information, so get busy generating new information for your readers!

9) Create ads that best complement your site.
The optimal sizes for ads have been researched. They are the 336×280 large rectangle, the 300×250 medium rectangle, and the 160×600 wide skyscraper.
However, don’t simply use these sizes without integrating them into your site well. You want the overall flow of your site to be pleasing to your loyal visitors, so be sure to fit the ads in a way that is visually appealing.


10) Do not stress over the latest google algorithms, or trying to beat the system!
Google constantly updates their algorithms to cut out spammers, and this unfortunately messes up the generated income for some sites. However, there is no way to currently beat this system, so do not stress if your site sees a dramatic drop suddenly. Simply continue to work hard at improving your site and keeping up with the latest Google Adsense Tips. Hopefully, you will see improvement again in your traffic.
These are some tips that should help you a great deal when trying to maximize the profits from your ads. Overall, continue working to improve your websites and don’t stress! Everyone knows that Google owns the world in their own mysterious way, and trying to fight it will only end in multiple visits to a psychiatrist. So, be happy and enjoy Google’s business offering to the world!

Google AdSense Introduction

Google AdSense is probably the most popular advertisement service on the web. By including a specific javascript code in your web site, it allows you to generate revenue though different advertisements related to your web site content. The amount of generated income is based on the type of advertisements and the number of clicks on them.
Your income is generated both from clicks on ads and from impressions (number of times the advertisement is shown on your web site).
Besides the clicks and the impressions, you can earn money by including a Google search box in your web site code. If your web site visitors use it you will get a percent of the profit relevant to their search terms. AdSense for Feeds and AdSense for Domains are also available . The first one places ads in the feeds managed by Google for your web site. The second one allows advertisements to be included for domains that do not  open a web site with content.
All AdSense options are described at:
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=8433 
Bear in mind that making money with Google AdSense requires a popular site with popular keywords on it and attractive positions for the ad placements.
Generally, the software is administered by Google and you can monitor your balance through your Google profile.
The service is freely accessible for everyone who complies with the corresponding Terms of Use.
You can check the Terms of Use here:

Google AdSense Alternatives

According to popular marketing analysis from the beginning of 2010, one from every two online ads comes from Google Adsense. This shows how powerful Google Adsense is but also that there are still other alternatives. There are reasons to choose an alternative to the almighty Google service either when you are a publisher or advertiser. Such reasons include:

• Higher revenue for publishers / Lower costs for advertisers

It is common for larger sites to manage their own advertisement campaigns, find advertisers / publishers directly and negotiate better deals. Naturally, with such larger sites Google Adsense has the least ads market share. An alternative for higher revenues are the so called affiliate programs which is suitable even for less popular sites as long as they are strictly specialized in one area. In this case it is feasible to find relevant subscriptions in which your visitors might be interested in and get a share of the subscription fees. We should mention here the popular service from the leader on the affiliate marketing - Commission Junction (CJ). It manages a huge number of affiliate programs for third parties. With CJ publishers have unmatched choice to find the best offers which may interest their visitors. Naturally, publishers' revenues rely on real sales generated from their site and not on impressions and clicks. A great feature is that publishers have the option to choose the advertisers, their offers and even the exact banners which will show on their sites. They also know what revenue (share in %) to expect per sale. These are very profitable features which Google Adsense lacks but it is not for every publisher. It requires marketing skills and knowledge about what visitors might be interested in purchasing. CJ has also great benefits for advertisers. First, it manages entirely their affiliate programs which is not an easy task. Second, the number of attracted publishers depends on the competitiveness of the ads. That's why if you are a publisher and believe your offers are competitive this is definitely the choice for you.

• Noncompliance with Google Adsense policies - important for both publishers and advertisers

This point should not be underestimated because Google has very strict policies which exclude publishers / advertisers with sites with violent and/or illegal contеnt, gambling, sales of alcohol, tobacco-related products, and last but not least adult content. For more information please check this link. Once web site owners find their sites are not complying with Google Adsense policies they have the option to use similar pay-per-click and pay-per-view alternatives such as:   Adbrite - while they lack some of Google ads restrictions they also have some unique features such as full page ads, BritePic (show sads over your pictures) and others.   Clicksor - much less restrictive policies which are suitable even for adult sites. In conclusion, we believe that Google will remain the leading online ads provider in future because of its competitive advantages. Though if you are not satisfied with its effectiveness or you can't comply with its policies there are very good alternatives.

Google AdSense Tips and Tricks

The Google AdSense solution is used by millions of web masters around the world. Some of them have great success and good income, while others get only a few dollars.
Here we will share some basic tips which are known to help increase the revenue generated through Google AdSense.
First, you should choose the advertisement block format which best suits your web site visual style. The experience shows that the 336x280 Large Rectangle, the 300x250 Medium Rectangle, and the 160x600 Wide Skyscraper are the most effective shapes. Still, you should mind the visual appearance of your web pages when you insert the AdSense code. If you have a little space for ads, the best solution will be the link unit format.
Additionally, you should pick the most suitable color palette for your ads block. If you have a light background on your web site, it is better to use a similar light palette for the AdSense box. The contrast choice for an ads box palette is good only for web sites with dark background. Still, it is better to pick a color which already exists in your web site.
It is better to create an ads unit which includes both text and images. In this way both will be displayed and this will increase the chance to get a click on an advertisement by a web site visitor.
Next, you should consider the location of the ads on your web pages.
Probably the best position of the advertisements is in the top / header of your site. However, this can break the consistency of your content, so you should be careful using such a solution. Other good locations are just below the navigation bar, above the footer and in the left menu area. You should always put yourself in the visitors' shoes and look to the web site from their point of view. If the ads block makes you feel uncomfortable while browsing the web site, you should consider a different position or formatting.
Additionally, you should define the number of the advertisement units per page. There are some restrictions about it. You are allowed to have up to three advertisement units per page (in addition to three link units and three referral units). If you have a web site with a lot of content, which requires the visitors to scroll down the pages or you manage a forum or a blog, it is wise to put more AdSense blocks. However, always make sure that the main unit which will generate the major part of the revenue is loaded first in the web site source code. In case you wonder, if you place more than 3 ads units on a page only the first 3 will appear.
Detailed instructions on how to improve the efficiency of your AdSense blocks can be found in the Google AdSense resources section:

Does Google AdSense Work?

1. How It Works

   • Google AdSense displays contextual ads on your page, the content and appearance of which you can control with filters and design elements. According to Google, you earn money by displaying AdSense ads on your pages and by visitors to your site clicking the ads.
     

   AdSense Reports

   • AdSense offers a service called Reports, which allows you to see how much ad revenue you have generated and estimate how much you will earn. However, one of the downsides is that AdSense does not offer information about the actual share of ad revenue that you earned.
     

   Threshholds and Payment

   • Google AdSense currently has two thresholds: In the United States, the company asks you for your tax information and payment preference when you've reached $10 in AdSense earnings and sends payment once you've reached $100 in AdSense earnings.
     

   Optimization and Demos

   • To help you increase revenue, Google offers a page of optimization tips (see Resources below), which help you design and implement an individualized AdSense plan. Google also offers beginners a full page of demonstrations on how to work through the AdSense process (see Resources below).
     

   Expectations

   • Earnings will vary widely based on traffic to the site on which you have installed AdSense. Unless you have a very high-traffic, popular website, you may never see a Google AdSense payment. Even if you do occasionally make money, you should not view it as a steady source of income. Nevertheless, AdSense does (under its Resources tab) keep track of its users' success stories--some of whom have found the service very profitable.

How Does Google Adsense Monitor Clicks for Invalid Clicks?

1. IP Address Checking

   • Every time you log in to your Google Adsense account to edit your information or check your site's statistics, Google records the IP address of the computer you are using. Then, if a high number of ad clicks come from the same IP address, Google will usually flag your Adsense account since there is evidence that you are clicking on your own site's ads. Even if you log out of your Adsense account before clicking on ads, your IP address does not change and Google will likely consider all clicks from that IP address as invalid.
     

   Internet Cookies

   • When you click on an advertisement hosted by Google Adsense, an Internet cookie is placed on your computer to track your activity on the advertised site. As a result, Google can use the cookie information to see if you are clicking on a high number of ads or clicking on the same ad multiple times. If this is the case, Google will usually mark those clicks as invalid.
     

   Click-Through-Rate

   • Each Google Adsense advertisement that you place on your website tracks two different statistics: page impressions and clicks. Every time a page with an Adsense ad is loaded or reloaded in a web browser, another page impression is counted. A click is only recorded when a web visitor actually clicks on the advertisement and views the associated page. The click-through-rate is determined by dividing the number of clicks by the number of page impressions. If Google finds that your pages have an abnormally high click-through rate (usually more than 10 percent), your account may be flagged and checked for invalid clicks.
