AdSense for Mobile

I was doing my daily adsense checking.. as I thought, I'm a noob, and I only got 2 click.. man.. it's frustrating..

But I saw something new that I never saw before. A new program by adsense: AdSense for Mobile..

What the hell is AdSense for Mobile?!?

I don't know.. It's my first time seeing this.

When I click the link, we can see the details about this program:

Enhance your mobile website - and your profits - with targeted ads from Google.

-Gain exposure to the large and growing number of mobile advertisers.
-Readers will find our precisely targeted ads relevant and useful.
-Finally unlock the full revenue potential of your mobile site by displaying Google ads.



That was what google said.. I'm not so sure about what it said, but I think it means we can put some ads on the page that could be accessed by mobile phone.

But how do we have a mobile website??

I have no idea.. but this is what google said:

We should rewrite our page with languages that mobile phone can read such as XHTML, WML, and CHTML. And of course wh sould rearrange the layout, so that it can be displayed properly on the mobile phone

plus, we need to develop the site with PHP or ASP. We should change the .htm files into .php files. Then we should copy paste the PHP snippet, so that the ads will appear.


Understand?

You know I don't.

But if you understand already, you should be happy then^^.
If you don't understand, learn those languages then^^

Frustrating Moment part 2

Frustrating Moment

Sorry guys, this time I'm not gonna give you tips, tricks, and all other stuff.

To be honest with you, I'm quite desperate right now. Why? I have not enough backlinks. I still have no Page Rank. Zero. none.

I know, I know.. Im not being patient right now, and that's not good.

On the other day, I posted something that might get me back link, it's the link bait.

But the thing is, right now, I haven't got much traffic, and I'm also lack of article too.

The probability that people will link back to me is somewhat low.

But if you think I'm gonna give up. Hell no! I'm not a quitter. I'm not a loser.


So, my target right now is, to get backlinks as many as possible, and get my first page rank.

I was just submitting my article to ezine, about the click exchange. So I hope it's gonna work.

And I'm not about to look for another methods to get backlinks.

Link Exchange? hmm... actually, it's a good idea. But without page rank? I don't know. I think I should first learn about the formula of the page rank, to know if it's gonna work.


Hey, what are you expecting? I'm a noob.

Link Bait

I said that the number of back link is very important for SEO (and of course link will give you traffic). But you’re just able to put some link just on some websites (Your other sites, or by doing link exchange, etc).

So how can we make people link to our site? The technique is called “link bait”.

How could we do this link bait? By creating quality content of course. Yes, but quality content like what?

Generally there are 5 types of article/content that could make people link to your site, we called them as “hooks”:

-Informational Hooks. This kind of hooks provides useful information, tips, tricks, etc. This site could be categorized as informational hooks (just if my article could be useful for you and you will link to me (T_T) )

-News Hooks. This kind of hooks provides the most fresh and actual information or hot news. For example, someone writes about celebrity’s gossip or disaster that kills 1000 people. You will most likely get many visitors from this hook. But this kind of hooks doesn’t last long, if the news isn’t hot anymore

-Humor Hooks. This hook tells a joke or funny picture, cartoon, or comic.

-Evil Hooks. This hook tells something that controversial. You tell something that most people will not agree with you and you provide a strong argument for it. For example, you write an article with a title “8 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Buy iPod”. People will maybe dislike you, but you got traffic and back link^^.

-Tool Hooks. You create a tool, or a program, that could be useful for people. The thing is, it’s easier to create an article than create a tool/program. But no pain no gain, right?

If your site is community based website, or tool website, I think it wouldn’t be so hard until people link to your site (just when they could find your site and think that your site is useful)

Tool based websites might have no weakness for adsense, but community based websites do have. I’ll tell you next time^^

Introduction to SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

I assume you have already registered your site on search engine (Google, Yahoo!, and MSN).

I believe your site is already detected. But the problem is, most likely if you search something related to your site, your site doesn’t show up on the first page.

For example, if I search on Google for keywords “adsense click exchange”, this site shows up on 12th page! Damn, who the hell will look to the 12th page?!



In my case, I have failed for the keywords “adsense click exchange” (but maybe someday it will show up on the 1st or 2nd page)

So how can I improve this? The technique to improve this is called SEO, Search Engine Optimization.

So what determine your site’s position in Google? That’s actually a secret and the algorithm is way too complex (and it change once in a time too)

But always remember, Google looks for quality page.

So how does Google know which site is a high quality site and which one is a low quality site?

Like I said before, it’s too complex (and a secret too), but generally there are important factors:

-Traffic (The number of visitor)
-and Back Link (The number of link on another sites referring to your site)

Most people increase the number of their back link by doing link exchange or create link bait content.


But SEO is not just limited in that.

SEO should calculate also Sitemap, the address, the content, the meta tag, etc.

I think that’s enough for the introduction. (^_^)v

content that will last and be read

I know I have told you what content you should make before, but I forgot something to tell you.

-Most professional blogger have multiple blog to write. Of course he should write it (Don’t copy paste another’s writing! I’ll tell you why). But imagine that you should write 100 posts (20 blogs, 5 each) every week. Let’s cut Saturday and Sunday. That means you have just 5 days. And every day you should write 20 posts.





I myself need 15 minutes to 1 hour to create just 1 post. It will be very time consuming. +If you want people to keep reading your blog, you should do this all over the time. You’ll never be able to get passive income.

The solution: Write post that will last!

Write post that people want to read all the time. You create 5 to 10 blog. Write every day! Until the blog has 30 posts, create a new blog. It will be fine if you don’t write the old blog, because you created posts that will last. But once in a time (once or twice a week), you could update it, so that your regular reader could enjoy your blog.

But it's also important to write something warm and new, so that people will look for it.



-Write what people want to read! There are so many blogs that always talking about their life, their boyfriend/girlfriend, their classmates, etc. I myself will not bother to read it. Why should I care about their classmates??

Ok, it’s not wrong if you write like that. But it can’t be monetized. People who will read it are only your friends and your family.

Write what people want to read! Write content with useful information!

First Step to Find Traffic

Now I assume you already have at least a website, you have signed up for AdSense, the design is fine, and you already have put some ads on your website.

So, what’s next?

After you build a “store”, you should find the “customers”. In this case, it means you should make people to visit your website.

There are some ways to gain traffic to your site, some of them which I know are:



-The most conventional way is by putting link to your site on another sites. You can also do link exchange with your friends.

-The most important thing is registering your website to search engine. Go to Google Webmaster. Register your site, don’t forget to authenticate and put the sitemap.

-If you got feed for your site, register your site on FeedBurner and complete the optimization steps.

-Register your site to some directories and top sites. And join the community.

Later I’ll give you the details.

Content to Create

I think this is important. What content should we make? Most of us will start a blog to write. (But if you don't like to write, writing a blog could be a problem for you. In that case you might prefer to build a non-blog website (tools, community, forum, etc))

But sometimes we don’t know what to write in a blog. The answer is: Anything. But you can always choose what kind of site you want to build. Is it a general niche website, or a targeted niche website? And you can always build another one after the other. So don’t sweat over this. If you have any idea, just write on your notepad, and create it after you go home.


But if I can suggest, I will suggest you to write:


-Anything you like and anything you have mastered. Why? Because what ever you do, it wouldn’t be easy. You should like it. Otherwise you will get bored or give up before you succeed. Every success is certain, just if you don’t give up before.

-If it possible, create HPK contents. HPK stands for High Paying Keyword. Like I said before, every keyword has a different PPC, and usually finance related phrases keywords (loans, insurances, etc) have bigger PPC.

So what are those keywords? I’ll tell you next time.

The Power of Investing

Well, I think it’s out of topic, but still, I want to write it.

I want to analyze which type of income is AdSense in cash flow quadrant (wrote by Robert T. Kiyosaki) (Although it has been critized by many people, I still think I'll write it, without telling you to stop working)

But, before that, I’ll tell you about the difference between rich and poor people.

Kiyosaki believes that the thing that makes difference between rich people and poor people is investment. Poor people never bother to invest their money. Rich people used to invest, so that after one point, their passive income will surpass the expenses.


What does investing mean? Investing means “buy” assets. An asset is everything that could make you money. For example, you buy a house, and then you lease the house, so that the house earns you money.

Contrary to asset, liability is everything that takes money from you. For example, you buy a television. Because of the television, you have to pay electricity bill. If you sell the television, the price is cheaper than when you buy it.

Poor people never bother to buy assets. They spending money on expenses and buy more liability. They need to work hard to cover their expenses. If they got raise, they will buy even more liability instead of asset. Because of that, they should work even harder to cover the expenses.

Unlike poor people, rich people always try to buy asset. They buy asset after another asset, until those assets make them more money than they need to cover their expenses. They could live, even if they don’t go to work. Money is not a problem for them, because of that they can concentrate to reach their dream instead of thinking of financial problem.

Assuming you are now working on a company. Should you stop to go to work? No! If you want, you do it, but if you don't want to, don't do it. The key is just investing, not resigning from your company.

Click Exchange, Why We Shouldn't Do That

Click Exchange. I myself hate those words.

But first, before we discuss it, I’ll tell you what click exchange is.

Google tell us not to click our own ads. And Google doesn’t allow us to tell people to click our ads.

But if we tell someone we know to click our ads, Google wouldn’t know that.

Asking people to click your ads, then you click their ads. That is click exchange.

Google wouldn’t know that, well, it might be true. It works actually, but I still wouldn’t do that. And I hate people who do that. Well, not hate actually, I just can’t think like they think.

I believe you people don’t understand why I don’t do click exchange, although my earning doesn’t even reach 1 dollar.


Ok, why we shouldn’t do click exchange:

1. Less Money.
How much will you get from click exchange? Is it 10 dollar? Is it 20 dollar? One thing I know, it wouldn’t earn much money, because your time is very limited. Well I don’t know about you guys, but I have no interest in 2 digits earning. I don’t know about you, but I’m aiming for 4 and 5 digits earning. 2 digits earning is meaningless for me, although I wouldn’t waste it.

2. If you stop, your money will stop too.
It will stop! That's for sure. And how long will you do that? That’s boring! You wouldn’t get rich if you do that stupid and boring thing! Asking some people too click your ads, clicking their ads, asking, clicking, asking, clicking, asking, clicking, asking, clicking, asking, clicking, asking, clicking, asking, clicking, asking, and clicking. Man, that’s super boring!!! And that will not give you a lot of money!

3. You’ll ruin your channel.
I’ve told you to test your sites and ads with channel, so that you know which channel gets clicked naturally. But if somebody click your ads unnaturally, your channels will be useless! You will not be able to analyze your ads! Testing is very important to be success in AdSense. You want to be rich, so don’t ruin your channels!

4. It's not right to steal!
You’re not benefiting your clients (the advertisers). They advertise on your website so that there will be some interested people go to their websites. If you ask someone to click your ads, the money given to you is worthless. In other words, you steal money from them. I don’t think this is the right way to do. If you're religious, stealing is a sin. Always think of win/win solution!

5. Worst case: Get banned.
You’re asking people to click your ads. There is brute version of me (who doesn’t like your way and really hate you). This man tells Google about what you have done. Then you get banned, no more AdSense! (But don’t worry, I don’t do this. I am a nice and kind person^^)


So I’m begging you. Please, don’t exchange click.


But if you still want to do it, I think you should stop reading my blog. My blog doesn't suit that kind of people.

Adsense is serious business. So, do it seriously. This is not an easy way to get money.

Ads Positioning

I assume that you already have at least one website (at least a blog). I also assume that you already signed up and put ads on your website.


But where should you place the ads?

The answer is where the position is, that have the highest CTR (Click-through Rate. It means how many times people click it divide by page impression.). It’s because the performance on each place is different.

But where?

See this image.



This is the “heat map”. The colors fade from dark orange (strongest performance) to light yellow (weakest performance). That means you should place the ads on the dark orange, and put fewer ads on the light yellow.

But remember, this may not suitable on your website, since every websites are unique. But generally, it works.

Placing the ads like that heat map is a good idea. But it would be even wonderful if you look for the placing that suitable for your site. How? By testing it!

Testing:

-Watch the earning on every channel. Compare them!

-Pretend to be your website’s visitor. Analyze how you look at on your website. Is the website comfortable? What you look first? What you look last? What do you see? What will you see next? What will you never see? Can you see the ads? Do the ads look like ads? Are the ads interesting?

Section Targeting Feature

Now I’ll tell you how I solved my problem.

How? By using section targeting feature, we can tell the crawler which contents are important, which contents are to ignore.

How we could use section targeting feature?

By implementing this HTML tag on your page with this format (please change all the "]" and the "[" into ">" and "<"):
[!-- google_ad_section_start --]

[!-- google_ad_section_end --]


For example:

This is my content but I don’t want to target it… bla bla bla blab la bla blabl abl abla blabla blablabl abl labl ablabl.

..
..
..
Bla bla bla..

[!-- google_ad_section_start --]

This is my content that I want to target. And this is important, I want the ads to display anything related to this paragraphs… blab la bla blabl abl abla blabla

..
..
..
..
..
Bla blab la..
[!-- google_ad_section_end --]

And this is another section that I don’t want to target. Bla blab la..
..
..
end




If you want to tell the crawler some contents to ignore, you can implement this format:

[!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --]

[!-- google_ad_section_end --]

Example:

Bla bla bla..
…
[!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --]

This is the content that I don’t want any of the ads showing this. Bla bla bla ..
..
..
..
[!-- google_ad_section_end --]

This is the contents that are fine to be displayed on the ads.. bla bla bla..
..
..
End


Are all clear?

By implementing this section targeting feature, we would have 3 level of content: Important content, neutral content, and content to ignore.

But don’t use the tag to target just a few words. It wouldn’t work.

After you implement the tag, please wait for 48 hours before it takes effect.

note: please change all the "]" and the "[" into ">" and "<"

Why Your Ads Aren't Relevant

Now I’ll fulfill my promise. I’ll tell you why your ads aren’t relevant.

Is it a problem? It’s just ads after all. Why bother?

Big mistake! When I first do the AdSense, my problem is: I updated my blog, my traffic is fine, but no one clicks my ads (at that time all of my ads have no image). Why? Then I realized, it would be even strange if my visitors click the ads. Because the ads are about crimes, cases, investigations, etc. Why? On that time I was talking about Death Note. There are so many words that related to crimes, cases, investigation, detective, etc. As I told you before, AdSense Crawler will try to find the relation between those words. There is no way anime fans would click those FBI and CIA ads^^

But that’s not the only reason why your ads aren’t relevant. There are some reason why your ads aren’t relevant:

-The crawler hasn’t crawled your site. It needs around 2 days before you can see the result. So be patient.

-The crawler cannot reach your website. But don’t worry, if this happens, you would receive an error report, and they will tell you what you should do.

-The website’s behind a login. If you want to access a website behind a login, you should enter a username and the password. The crawler doesn’t have those, and that makes the crawler unable to reach you site.

-Illegal content! (But sometimes there are porn sites with relevant ads because it’s not in English hahaha) After all, illegal content could mean you will be banned.

-The AdSense code was placed within an IFRAME. The crawler is not optimized to serve ads within a separate IFRAME. For better results, implement the ad code directly into the source of your webpage.

- Last reason, my problem, your site may have not enough content (if the content are all mp3 or image, the crawler can’t read those file!) or unfocused content (or disambiguated content). So, how did I solve my problem? With “section targeting feature”, which I’ll explain tomorrow^^.

How Crawler Works

Just like I promised, I will tell you why your ads aren’t relevant. But before that I will now tell you how the crawler knows the content of a page. A crawler is a machine that will read and indicate the content of the pages. Actually it just reads every word. And it will find the relation between each word to know what the content is.

Basic example:


These are 3 pages with the word “Java” with different content.

Page #1 has the words: “Java”, “C++”, “Programming”, and “Computer”.

Page #2 has the words: “Java”, “Beans”, “Coffee”, and “Cup”.

Page #3 has the words: “Java”, “Island”, and “Indonesia”

Crawler will consider the 1st page is talking about programming language. So maybe there will be ads like “Java Tutorials”, “C++ Programming”, etc.

The 2nd page will be considered talking about coffee drink. So maybe there will be ads like “Quality Beans”, “Cheap Coffee”, etc.

The 3rd page will be considered talking about my homeland^^ (Yes, I used to live in java). So maybe there will be ads like “A Tour in Java Towns”, “Hotel in Yogyakarta”, “Javanese Culture”, etc.


The crawler report is updated weekly. So please be patient

There are 2 crawlers: Google crawler and AdSense crawler (Additionally there is also Sitemaps crawler but let’s put this thing aside for now). They work separate but they will not requesting the same page twice (so that the publisher will not run out of bandwidth). But it will request the site without “www” and with “www” separately. AdSense crawler will only access URLs that request Google AdSense. Those crawlers will only access the original pages.


The crawler won't access pages or directories prohibited by a robots.txt file (robots.txt will prevent the crawler accessing pages which are unnecessary to crawl)

Pay per Click Estimate

How much money will you get if someone clicks your ads?

The answer is depends on the keywords of the ads.

Actually this is not the publisher’s concern. But sometimes we wonder how much money we will get per click. Some even tested it by themselves.. hahahahaha…

Actually we wouldn’t know until it’s clicked. Even if it’s clicked, we don’t know which ad that is, since the ad always changes, and different on every country. Even the keywords will always change, if we change the content. (If I’m wrong, please tell me. It would be very helpful)

But if you want know how much is the estimate amount of the money we will get, we can use Google AdWords.

Eh?! AdWords? That is for advertising, right? I’m not going to advertise anything! Don’t worry.. We will just test it, without signing up.

-First go to this Google AdWords link: http://adwords.google.com/

-Then click “Get Keyword Ideas”

-On tab “Keyword variation”, enter the keyword you want to check.

-Type the random characters on the image

-Choose data to display: “cost and ad position estimates”

-Write 80 Dollar for maximum amount

-Then click “Get More Keywords”


Usually, a “money related” and profitable keywords will cost higher price. For example, loan, bank, insurance, etc.

So, if you write a blog with contents related to it, you might earn some money. (But don’t forget, it requires hard work and many content. If you don’t understand or don’t enjoy it, you might give up before you succeed.)

And usually a phrase will cost higher price than a single keyword.


But that is just an estimate. It’s the cost that the advertiser will pay, not the publisher will get. We should consider that Google will get money from the advertiser too.

We should also consider that not every ad is available for every keyword. If you see a keyword phrase with high cost, it might be just one advertiser. If the advertiser stops advertising, we wouldn’t get that keyword.

Sometimes on my blog, the ads aren’t relevant. Why? I’ll tell you on the next post.

Content is King

I’ve said before that my biggest mistake is not updating my blog everyday.

Why is it important to update our blog/website?

If we don’t have any content, what would they read? What will make them go to our site?

It’s simple, right?

Please see this picture



This is a table from http://www.hittail.com/ , it could trace all keywords on search engine that displays your site as the result. (on this table it display http://orenoanime.blogspot.com/ as result)

You can see that most of them aren’t popular keywords, at least they are not “ore no anime”, “anime review” or “anime news”. Some even misspelled.

After see this table, I realized how content be so important (because I don’t write much before).

Conclusion #1: The more content on your site, the more keywords will display your site. =more traffic=more page rank= even more traffic


Actually, to make traffic, writing is not the only way. You can make a download page, or some facility (forum, video streaming, community page, etc).

But at blogging we can only just write quality writing.

If you write a good writing (helpful, informative, actual, frequently updated, etc) , people would love to read your content. They will go to your site frequently. They will promote your site to the other

Conclusion #2: Quality content makes people love to go to your site. That means more traffic=more page rank=even more traffic.

So write, write and write!

At the end the conclusion is: Content is King!

It definitely requires hard work. So don’t stop! No pain, no gain!

Write everyday

Btw, to increase your content’s quality, you could add some picture related to your content, or maybe some embed video.

One more, please don’t copy-paste other’s writing. It could be trouble if the one who write the writing gets mad. Some said not good for SEO (search engine optimization) too, because search engine would prevent crawl the same page. If you got a same paragraph like another site, it will consider that your site had been crawled. Actually the algorithm is more complicated, but to prevent trouble please don’t copy-paste.

Why I Do AdSense

Phew. Those last 3 posts were exhausting. I’m now in mood for writing something motivating. Why am I so motivated with AdSense?

You know that I just got 0.57 dollar for the first month. It’s definitely horrible. But now I’m still adsensing my blog. Why? And why did I choose to adsense?

It started when I read some articles about adsense on an Indonesian site, Ilmu Komputer.com (http://www.ilmukomputer.com) (English: Computer Knowledge). At that time I already knew about adsense, but I’m not really interested. But the articles change my mind!

I’m now in Germany. I’m provided with internet, 24/7 (it’s not like in my country, which internet is so limited (limited bandwidth, limited speed, and limited quota) and very expensive). It would be somewhat stupid if I don’t take advantage of it.

But why am I so motivated? Now, there are only 2 things in this world that can make me motivated: Girl and money. Of course, in this case it’s the money.

Quoting ilmukomputer.com,

“Di Indonesia sendiri, sudah ada beberapa orang yang meraih komisi diatas 10.000 dolar per bulan, yang dapat ribuan dolar sudah banyak, apalagi yang cuma ratusan.”

(English: In Indonesia, there are some people who get 5 digits commission. There are a lot of people who get 4 digits commission. 3 digits commission is out of question)

Wow.. 3 digits.. 4 digits.. 5 digits..

I like money. You like it too, don’t you?

But I know, it wouldn’t be that easy. Nothing’s instant. Well, there are instant noodle, instant rice, and instant porridge. But this time it’s not instant.

Before I started adsense, I was looking for some articles related to adsense. I want to be ready when I start it. Then I saw this picture from an Indonesian site, Cosa Aranda.com (http://www.cosaaranda.com/)



As you can see, until the 3rd month, the revenue didn’t even reach 100 dollar! But you can see the next months. Wow! On the 6th month it almost reached 1,400 dollar!

So, it’s not instant! It requires hard work! (But I am undeniably special case, because I’m so lazy and lack of luck. For me, it requires extra hard work^^)

It’s not instant! But if you like money, you should go for it!

Types of AdSense

There are 4 products of AdSense. There are ad units, ad links, adsense for search, and referral.
We can put maximum 3 ad units, 3 ad links, 2 Google AdSense for search, and 3 referrals on a page. Like you see on this page, there are 3 ad units (2 ad images on the left, and 1 on the bottom), 2 ad links (under the header’s banner and on the footer), 1 Google AdSense for search, and 3 referrals (those ads for AdSense, AdWords, and Firefox with Google toolbar).



-Ad Units
Actually it could be displayed as text links or images. But I myself prefer as images. Well, it could be different in every case, but in my case on my blog (http://orenoanime.blogspot.com), the images are more eyes-catching and that makes people more interested to click it. You should test it by yourself, to know what kind of ad units are more suitable for your site (so, if you have blogger, just copy the code like usual (from the adsense site), instead use the instant way provided by blogger, so that you can add a channel on it.). I use the wide vertical skyscraper more because I use blog. People are usually scrolling down to read my content. I use the large square too, because people said that it has the most click rate

Usually the most effective placement is on the left sidebar on above.

But if keep this in mind:
-Wide is always better, regardless it is vertical or horizontal.
-No border!

But this is the most important thing: You don’t want your ads look like ads! You want the ads look like additional information for your content!

It’s not like deceiving people. But nobody interested in ads (just before they know what the ad is talking about). So you want to make them interested with the ads!

-Ad Links
Well, I myself don’t like it. I have never seen the power of ad links. With minimum information, and limited space, I never think people would click it. But I think there is nothing wrong with optimize it.

Just like I said before, wide is always better, and no border!

-Google AdSense for Search
Why do we put search box on our sites? Of course, it’s because it makes money. But why search?

Most likely our sites don’t provide every single thing. There must be some visitor who come to our sites and didn’t find what they’re looking for.

That’s why we provide a search box.

Just like usual, no border!

Where should we place the search box? Some people put it on left above, right above, or on the bottom. You should test it, where is more suitable for your site.

-Referral
This one is not paid per click. It only gives you money if the visitors do a certain thing with the products (for example downloading, or signing up).

You might receive payment 1 time every year.

Some people trying to optimize it by writing some article related to it

DO NOT CLICK YOUR OWN ADS

There are some mistakes you can make with AdSense, but the stupidest mistake is clicking your own ads! Google knows your identity, your IP-Address, your location, your frequency, etc. BIG BROTHER (GOOGLE-SAMA) IS WATCHING US!

DO NOT CLICK YOUR OWN ADS!

Not even once!!

There are some people who tested their ads. They wanted to know if the ads work. Yes, it works! Of course it works! Then they got banned!

The banned guy: I was just starting AdSense, now I get banned (T_T) .. What should I do? ( >_<)

Abi: Nothing. Sorry dude^^. Say good bye to AdSense (;^_^)


So, do not,,, Do Not,,, DO NOT!! DO NOT CLICK YOUR OWN ADS!!


And do not encourage people to click your ads!
Do not deceive people so that they click your ads!
No Trick!

You don’t want your account get banned, that means you will not do that!! I hope you understand english so you won't do that.

What AdSense is

A conversation on Yahoo!Messenger

Abi: Hey friend! What’s up? How are you doing?
Friend: Yeah, I’m good. A little bit desperate with my study and love, but I’m OK. And you?
Abi: Yeah. Love doesn’t bother me. I don’t have any girlfriend so I don’t have any problem with it (I don’t, do I?). About the exam, I hope I could make it. But I think I’m concentrating in AdSense too.
Friend: Wow.. That sounds cool!
Abi: Yeah, I think it wouldn’t be bad if I have some revenue from it. It’s free after all.
Friend: Well, Well.. I think you’re doing it well. By the way, can I ask you something?
Abi: Of course!
Friend: What is the adsense you’re talking about?
Abi: eh?
Friend: What is that adsense?
Abi: ?!?


Dude! You’re online every day, browsing the sites every day, and you don’t know what adsense is?!?!

Dude!!


Hahahaha.. I should tell that to myself 1 year ago.

Well, we were all beginner after all (but I am a beginner, I’m a NOOB), so it’s not that embarrassing. But it’s quite a mistake, unless you don’t like money.


So what is adsense exactly?



Assuming someone has a website. He wants to advertise his website/product/company. Then he will go to the Google AdWords to advertise it (They pay for it of course). Then Google will have a lot of websites to advertise. It’s uncountable. Therefore Google needs many websites which wants to display the ads.

Google creates a program called Google AdSense, which is allowing people to let their site to display ads. The people, whose site’s displaying ads, will get a certain amount of money every time the ads are clicked by someone. The amount of the money the publisher per click (pay per click (PPC)) is depending on the keywords of the ads (from 0.01 to 60 dollar). So depending on the traffic and how the ads are arranged, someone could even get more than 10,000 dollar every month, or even more.

You can see on this blog, there are some ads with the note “ads by Google”. Yes, this blog is AdSensed. And if any of you click it, I will get money (which I don’t know how much it is). But don’t click it unless you’re really interested with it, OK?

(Yeah, that’s the rule. You may not encouraging people to click your own ads! The Big Brother (Google-sama) is watching us! You may not encouraging people to click your ads, you may not click your own ads (not even once!), you may not deceive the visitor to click your ads, and the others fishy tricks are prohibited by Google! If your account’s get cancelled by Google, you can’t make another account. In other words, “bye bye Google adsense (TT_TT) “. So, no trick!)

So what do you do now? That’s right! You sign up for AdSense right now! Yes, right now!

You don’t have any website? Go to blogger (http://www.blogger.com). Create a blog! Why blogger? Why not Wordpress, or the other? Blogger belongs to Google, so you will definitely accepted by Google. (If you want to adsense your other websites, you don’t need to sign up again. Just copy-paste the code)

Now you understand what AdSense is. (If you have some questions, please feel free to ask).

So, good luck! I hope you don’t run out of luck like me hahaha.

My Mistakes part 1

ok, I'm actualy busy with my study, because of the exam. So I think I'll just write some short posts.

this is my biggest mistake I've ever made with adsense:

I wasn't not taking adsense seriously! BIG MISTAKE.

I'm not writing every day. I should, but I don't... ckckck BIG MISTAKE.


I think I did it seriously (I always ask about adsense, watching some tutorials, reading some articles, etc) but it's not good enough. I have to write everyday.

Why? because I write blog! It's not a site with much content in it. It's not a forum with members who write the content. But I write the content all by myself (I hate copy-pasting, so I don't do it (I think you guys shouldn't do it too))

I need traffic to increase my earning (since my PPC is just about 0,01 to 0,4 dollar). But I don't write every day. That makes people run away.

YOU ARE ALL SO WRONG!

it's 0,57 F dollar!!!

what have I done??? I also told and taught one of my friend about adsense, and he got 7 dollar!

believe it or not, I've got more traffic than he got.

so why??? why is this happened to me??? what mistakes did I do?

and above all, why do I choose to adsense my blog and (try to) get serious with my blog??
