Tips on How to Make Money with Google अद्सेंसे

http://www.mooladays.com/2009/11/28/google-adsense-money/

googleHave you ever wondered why the majority of websites display Google ads? Probably every single person who has browsed the web has seen a Google ad. If you don’t think you have, the ads were probably concealed properly within the context of the website.

The Answer: to make money. Let me explain the process of Google’s network Adsense, and how it all works.

Where Does the Money Come From?

Lets say we got an advertiser named Ron who owns his very own garden store where he sell garden appliances locally, and wants to sell their appliances on the web as well. In order for Ron to make sales, like business in a brick and mortar store, he needs customers. In order to do that, business owners like Ron seek out advertising networks like Google Adwords to display their ads. Google Adwords is run by Google Adsense, without Google Adsense, there would be no Adwords because publishers in the network are what runs the network or vice versa. Google Adsense is a PPC company, which means publishers get paid by how many times an ad is clicked. Earnings range from as low as $0.10 to as high as $20.00/click depending on which market your site plans on participating in. Any webmaster can participate in the network, you just need to file in an application to the Google Adsense team. And you could do that here.

Google Adsense is all around a great network where they reward publishers in their network compared to other publishing networks, more superior. As long as you got a quality website with quality content, you are bound to be accepted in their network.

Once you are accepted in their network, to better maximize your site’s profits with Google Adsense, you need to work on a few things that can overall help you to increase your site’s Adsense revenue. Ad blending and concealing is one of the methods you should consider.

Ad blending and concealing – Concealing the Adsense ad and adjusting the ad to it’s proper fitting is necessary to make the overall website texture nice and smooth. With the power to easily change the colors and the look of the ad anytime, you get the ability to maximize your Adsense revenue by placing the ads in the “money spots” – the areas that gets the most user attention. Statistics say, it is generally the upper right and center that gets the most attention. Making use of these statistics and making small tweaks to reflect it, can be the difference of getting $10 one day to getting $20. All websites are different in architecture, so experimentation is key in maximizing your profits with Google Adsense. The more you experiment, the more knowledge you have on where the money spots are on your website. Your goal is to try and conceal your ads within the context of your website to a point where it is no longer noticeable to others that it is an ad but taken as part of your web site.

Google Adsense high paying keywords – Researching the highest paying keywords is often times overlooked for most webmasters. With great tools like Spyfu out there, you can literally approximate what kind of earnings you will get per click for a certain keyword that is associated with what your website is going to be about, without having to do any devious work. It is as simple as using Google as a search engine except a bit more sophisticated in terms of generating detailed statistics. If you can use Google as a search engine, you sure can use tools like Spyfu to search up top paying keywords for Adsense, for your site to reflect the top paying keywords.

Tracking what works with Google Channels – Knowing that every site is different in terms of architecture and in determining which spots are the money spots, Google added the Google channels feature for a reason – to better analyze the best performing ad in a particular spot. With the proper use and recording of Google channels, you can use these personalized detailed statistics to better optimize your site to unlock it’s true potential earnings. Making use of this feature is key for ad experimentation so be sure to use it!

waystomakemoneywithadsenseGoogle Adsense can be incorporated in any one of the four methods displayed. They are all valid opportunities to maximize your website profits even more.

With all the easy-to-use features in the Adsense panel and the great tutorials laying around the web, you cannot go wrong in trying to incorporate any of the four methods displayed on the top. Just following the 3 standard methods of maximizing your web site’s Adsense revenue, ad blending and concealing, researching high paying keywords, and experimentation, with the combination with any of the four methods listed on the top, you can double, maybe even triple your Adsense earnings.

If anything, if you know the three general ways to maximize your Adsense profits, there are endless ideas on the ways to make use of your Google Adsense account. If you don’t have a website, consider the 7 Cool Ways to Make Money With Google Adsense. There are no limits to making money with Google Adsense. You just got to be creative.

7 Cool Ways to Make Money With Google

http://www.mooladays.com/2009/09/14/7-cool-ways-to-make-money-with-google-adsense/

Google Adsense

The Google AdSense program has been known to be probably the most generous pay per click company, when it comes rewarding their publishers for their efforts. Not only do they pay them well, they look to even expand their ideas and make almost every aspect of the Internet profitable. And here today, I’d like to introduce some of the creative ways to make money with Google AdSense, that you may have never heard before. Who said that there was only one way to make money with a Google AdSense account?

Participate in Forums

If your an active member in a particular forum, check to see if they give some percentage of the revenue to active participants. A great forum that allows users to have a split end of the AdSense revenue is the Digital Point forums. Not only is this a great way to make money, it helps to encourage members to continue to socialize more with the community they love.

Incorporate AdSense Search

Got a website that has search functionality? Well, you can make that feature of your site profitable as well as make user experience enjoyable. Users will find the content they want and get to view relevant ads as well, which means more money for you. You can think of AdSense search like your own mini search engine.

Incorporate AdSense Ads to Your Feed

If you can make money off your website, why can’t you make money with your own web feed? With the features that Google includes in Feedburner, they make it possible for webmasters to maximize their profits with not only their site’s content but their feeds as well.

Write Articles

With generous article collaboration sites like Hubpages and Google Knol, who pay you to write articles with ads powered by Google AdSense, you can get your good share of profit whenever readers click an ad or view an ad. The more viewers your articles attract, the more money you make. Essentially, writing articles is great credibility wise as well as one of the great ways to make money.

Become a YouTube Partner

Like the idea of making money off making creative entertaining videos? Ever seen one of those Google Ads pop up whenever you were viewing a video off YouTube? Well, if you qualify to become a partner, whenever a viewer clicks or views an ad, you make your share of money. Especially if your videos are videos that are intriguing, they can really spread quickly like wildfire and make you a lot of money virally. Also, as an extra bonus, if any webmaster decides to embedded your video on their site, you even make money off the viewers from their site as well because the ads basically follow the YouTube video. The ways to make money by being a YouTube partner, is simply relentless.

Make Money Off Socializing

You like the idea of making money off socializing with people across the world with sites like Flixya? Flixya has it all and they pay 100% of the ad revenue to you! Whether you are there to share videos, photos, or just to make your own personal blog, you can be making money with them just by doing what you love, socializing!

Start Your Own Website

Got something intriguing to say that will inspire many to read about the stuff you have to say? Whether it be about cars or just about your personal life, anything goes. Google AdSense makes it possible for any webmaster to make money with their own personal website. If you have ever thought about starting up your own website, this may be your chance to make money online while writing about something you love. Starting your own website and making money off it for the first time, is of course a rewarding feeling that you will never forget.

How do I get started making money with Google AdSense?

I've been reading a bit about how people can make money off their Web site by joining up with the Google AdSense program, but I really don't understand how it all works। Do I need to find advertisers? Do I bill them for showing up on my site? Or does Google do all this? Thanks a million (hopefully!)

Dave's Answer:

You're not alone in being interested in the terrific Google AdSense program. Leveraging its powerful page analysis system, Google's AdSense program automatically matches the best possible advertisements with the content on your Web page, making the ads magically quite relevant to your content.

Behind the scenes, it works like this: an advertiser goes to the Google AdWords system, signs up, and creates one or more advertisements that they want to pay to have appear either on Google's search result pages or on "content pages". Those content pages are Web sites run by individuals and organizations that include AdSense, which is the "consume" side of this equation.

What makes this more interesting is that advertisers don't pay to have their adverts show up on either Google or separate content sites, but instead pay when the ads are clicked by customers, what we call "pay per click" or PPC. A percentage of the amount that the company pays Google for displaying the ad is then shared with the AdSense-enabled web site owner.

If, say, the advertiser pays $1.00 for a visitor to their site through AdWords, then Google will pay a percentage of that amount (the exactly amount has not been stated by the company) to you, perhaps $0.20, perhaps more.

I realize that $0.20 doesn't sound like much money, but if you have a few hundred visitors a week, and some percentage of them click on these adverts, you could easily make $20-$50 or much (much!) more from your site each week, without having to do any work other than add the special AdSense code to the pages in the first place.

It's simple, easy to accomplish, you never have to negotiate (or even talk) with advertisers, you don't have to bill anyone at all, and every month or two you'll get a nice little check from Google corporate. Nice!

So let's talk about the exact steps required to actually get going with the AdSense program. First and foremost, you need to sign up for the AdSense program, which you can do by clicking in the cheery button:

Note that when you sign up, you'll need to specify a Web site or weblog that you plan on incorporating AdSense: not every site is approved, however, so make sure yours has valuable and unique content and a design that doesn't include too many advertisements.

Once you're approved, it's time to log in and configure your new AdSense advertisement to include on your site!

When you first log in, you'll see the following navigational bar:

Google AdSense Navigational Bar

Click on "AdSense for Content" and you'll be ready to configure your ad. Now, don't worry: configuration is pretty easy and kinda fun too, you get to pick colors, sizes, and much more.

Once you've clicked on the "AdSense for Content" tab, your next step will be to decide what type of advertisements you want Google to serve up on your own pages:

Google AdSense Ad Types

I suggest you start out with a text "Ad unit", as shown here: the other type of content adverts are less generally useful, less flexible, and typically also have a much lower payout, according to the grapevine. When you are ready, note that you can learn more about the different formats by clicking on any of the last three lines in that view.

The next section of your task is to specify the format and layout of your AdSense ad, and there are a rather amazing number of different size and format options. Google has a helpful AdSense Ad Format Reference Page that's worth a quick peek.

Here at Ask Dave Taylor, I use a Leaderboard (728x90) on the top of the home page and a Large Rectangle (336x280) on this very page. Your layout will inevitably be different and you might choose a different layout entirely. Further, you are allowed to have up to three different ad units on a given page, so you can experiment with them one atop the other, adjacent to each other, or interspersed with your content. Just try to remember that if there's no content, there's no page. :-)

Now that you've picked an ad layout size (and yes, you can change it at any time too) it's time to have the most fun: changing the color scheme of the ad itself. My handy tip: use a border color that's the same as the background color of your page (as I do on this page) so that it's less overt that the ads are actually advertisements. It helps people not gloss over them and, hopefully, click on the ads a bit more frequently.

The built-in color schemes are nice too, of course, if you want to use them, but just as with the sizes, I strongly recommend that you experiment with different color schemes and see if you get a better percentage of clickthrus and greater revenue. Perhaps every Sunday night you can change to another color scheme and then track week-by-week what works best?

The next step is to specify an alternate Ad URL or color, and a specific channel for your ad:

Google AdSense Channels

The idea behind alternate ads is that sometimes no advertisers have bid on advertising for the keywords, leading Google to a pickle: what to display? By default, it instead displays public service ads (PSAs), but if you want to create an HTML snippet that produces the same size content, you can use that instead, or, you can simply have a solid box in the color of your choice that blends into the design of your site.

I am a much stronger supporter of channels, however. Channels let you organize your AdSense results by Web site (if you have more than one site) or by areas of your site. On this site, for example, I have a channel for "home page leaderboard" and another for "large rectangle" so I can compare how each format is doing, rather than just guessing in the aggregate. It's much easier to start correctly than to retrofit this sort of thing, so take the time and set up a basic channel or two to begin categorizing your results.

Finally, you've made all the settings you need and it's time to grab the HTML snippet that'll generate the ad block on your own site!

Google AdSense Ad Code

Your specifics will be a bit different from what you see in this screen shot, but the code will generally look identical. Just select all the text in the box, then use Edit --> Copy to get that code into your copy/paste buffer.

Now open up a page where you'd like to include the AdSense code, or a template if you're working with something like a weblog system, and paste in the new code by using Edit --> Paste.

Save your template and rebuild your site, or, if it's just a page, save the page back onto the server and bring it up in your web browser. That's it!

Important Warning: do not click on your ads!

I think one of the most common mistakes that new AdSense participants make is to click on an advert or three to "make a quick buck". Sounds good in theory, but you'll end up kicked out of the AdSense program if you click on ads shown on your own pages, which is not a good strategy for earning money!

Anyway, that's the basic set of steps. Don't delay and don't wait for tomorrow: pop back up to the beginning of this article to sign up for AdSense, then go through these steps and you can start turning your cost center of a Web site into a revenue generation system, modest or otherwise!

.. and who knows, maybe you'll see one of my own advertisements on your site!

There's no catch and I'm not trying to sell you an ebook. Or anything (read about conmen who do). I'm not even signing you up for a newsletter. This list was put together more as a laugh. It may change your life. Or it may annoy you enormously because of its er, brevity. I hope it does both.

Some ideas here are nice and have halos, others smell of dog urine ... but all these methods allegedly generate lotso dosho and every single one is legal at least somewhere. There's overlap in everything so some ideas may be repeated (and some may not be covered at all) but I'm still maintaining there are 101 ways to make money online, partly because it makes a good headline. No, solely because it makes a good headline. It sucked YOU in, didn't it?

No, you won't get anything for nothing but there are a lot of things you can get for nearly nothing. Like getting to pick holes in my list. Go ahead. Pick holes and then link back here to show people how stupid I am.

I've put together a lot of these ideas from thousands of hours discussing businesses for sale with their owners. They've shared with me how their businesses operate, how they make money online, how they built their businesses up etc. They've given me access to their traffic stats, their earnings and accounts and tax figures. Many even gave me access to their Adsense or other "main earner" accounts. Some of those businesses were so irresistible that I bought them. And sold them. And bought others. It's a game. I love it.

Most of these business ideas can be run from anywhere in the world, even the United States, Australia and other non-English speaking countries. For consistency sake all figures are quoted in US dollars.

Each method is summarised in a single small para so appreciate it's not the complete unabridged version. And, no, I haven't tried each one so out of the 101 business models to make money online 102 may be completely dud. But, I do intend expanding - in due course - on some of the money-making ideas that worked for me.

More disclaimers will come when people sue me (suing can make you money, see #66)

Finding business ideas:

1. Spend all day browsing Site For Sale forums (like the list we have here) for the myriad ways people earn money online. People looking to sell their sites actually tell you how they make money! Pick one that suits you. Research it a bit and away and start your own business. Or use a search engine to find ways to make money online. It seems to Finding some things - like nuclear bunkers - is easier than  othersbe so easy that it's almost impossible to find someone who doesn't know how to do it. (But why stop at one search engine (SE)? Most people get to less than 1% of the top qualify info they're seeking because they use just one SE like Google, don't have the vaguest of ideas of the advanced search features available and don't know the benefits to be had using specialised SEs, local SEs etc. )

2. Bundle the two above to tell other people how to make money online. They always want to know. It doesn't matter if you don't know yourself, you can still charge them for it. I obviously don't have a clue as I'm giving it all away. You can now ignore everything else I say. But don't go spending money on internet cons promising to make you a millionaire and here's how to spot them.

3. Be more inventive with your search. Look for small business franchise newsletters. Or for home jobs in your particular niche or hobby. (And check point #2 above for those specialised SEs). You can also go through the appropriate DMOZ categories (examples: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12)

But using "search" is just the start of the game. There are simply so, so many ways. We hope you hang around to find out.

4. Like the guy you can pay to stick a message in a bottle for you and throw it into the sea. He's made tens of thousands of dollars already. And there are several others like him in all parts of the world. Do you live near a sea or river? Or join the cleanup of those bottles and get your council to contribute.


Domains

5. The dot com gold rush made many millionaires but there's still plenty of money in domain real estate and still some good catches available. A good dot com may be difficult to find now. But there are a lot of gTLDs and ccTLDs from the .info to .eu to .tv to .co.in and they all present opportunities being discussed in several good forums. Put your thinking hat on, buy a famous word domain for a few dollars and put it up on the domain selling sites.

6. Lost your thinking hat? Hang out at SEDO. DNForurms, Afternics and other places where domains are bought and sold. Provided you learn enough about the market to recognise bargains you could make a living from just buying existing domains and reselling them.

7. If you're smart you'll run dictionary checks against available domain names and auto-check them against search volumes (using OST, Wordtracker etc.) for that term and Pay Per Click (PPC) rates in the major ad networks (example) to work out which ones are likely to be more profitable (how to make money with PPC). If you can pick up the domain for a profitable term that's searched for often you can use a domain parking program. Or post a little bit of relevant content and get a link or two ... and the search engines will start sending you traffic. If the phrase people are typing in coincides exactly with your domain name it gives you a great head start with SEs.

8. If you're smart AND a linguist you'd be doing that in multiple languages. And not paying for any domain till you've tried it free for five days to see if it does indeed get any type-in traffic (and how well that traffic converts). After you've tried it for five days and dropped it there's nothing to stop you immediately picking it up again for another five day trial. Strange, but true. It's not kiting, it's legal.

9. Misspellings. Massive opportunities still exist in the misspelling/typo market. People trying to get elsewhere land on your site instead ... and you sell them stuff (or use the domain parking idea). Some even tempt fate by making PPC opportunties out of typosquatting on trademarks. Finding typos has never been easier. There are many tools that will find misspellings for you. How easy can it get?

10. Domain parking and type-in traffic: People sometimesThe witch has spoken guess at URLs. If they want a plumber they may try plumber.com though they've never used that site themselves. Find terms that people may be typing in (I will provide a detailed guide to this when I get a chance), buy the domain and populate it with ads. There are several ad programs to monetise your parked domains. Or combine this with the previous idea to buy plummer.com or similar typo domains to make money online.

11. Drop catches. People sometimes forget to renew their domains and these expire. Picking them up will give you some remnant traffic from sites that link to this domain/people who've bookmarked it etc. In some cases the traffic can be pretty high. Provided you're fast enough to replace the copyrighted content that was there with something else you can make quite a profitable business from doing nothing else but this.

12. A variation on the above. Sell the domain back to the previous owners. Note that you may want to tread carefully and get familiar with the rules for that TLD before you start sending off ransom notes. For example, with ICANN (domains that end in .com, for example) the moment you send the previous owners an email saying you've got their domain and you'll give it back for $10K... you've lost. It can't look like a ransom demand. Be reasonable and read the small print of the UDRP. No UDRP required if you're sitting hostage on myspace.com/theircompanyname or the equivalent at blogger, twitter or other big destination. LOL, watch them kick themselves and sack their web advisors who told them about taking the "dot info" but omitted to mention the importance of protecting the brand by owning the associated myspace directory (and others)! And it costs you nothing!

13. Run a domain management service. Hundreds of thousands of webmasters (or more) have a large portfolio of domains. A lot of them would like the boring bit taken out of their domain management. You can run their DNSes or just a service reminding them when each domain comes up for renewal. Or an automated monitoring service to tell them when one of their domains/sites is inaccessible.

14. Start a directory to list domains for sale. That's what people like SEDO do. You can get money just for allowing domains to be listed in your directory.

15. If you're running a service putting buyers and sellers of domains/sites in touch with one another you could get money for add on services (like providing escrow facilities). For ideas have a look at what existing domain intermediaries offer.

16. Run a domain research service. Wonder what happens when a manufacturer is looking to name a new model car? Or starting a new range of clothing? They need trademark and patent research but now they also need some domain research. Which of the literally thousands of combinations and misspellings (+ sucks.com) are taken and which do they need to buy? With a few of the free domain tools discussed on this page, here and one or two more - like free DNS tools - and a little time you could provide them a service they'd pay a lot of money for.

17. Start your own country: Whoa! yes, you're reading it right. If you've heard of Sealand (what is Sealand) you'll know that starting your own country is not that far fetched। Once you have your own WhackyCountry you can apply for a .wc (yuk) TLD. Sell millions of domains. Keep some for yourself. Ever wanted a Google.___?

18. Perform domain services for businesses and then send them a proforma (even if they've never heard of you). Explain that it's free this time but you'll gladly keep acting for them for a small fee. For example, there are thousands of big businesses whose half-wit webmasters/ developers didn't put in a redirect from the non-www to the www versions of their sites (or vice-versa). One entrepreneur made a few thousands just from pointing out to businesses how they were losing hundreds of customers every year who were landing on http://xxx-companyname.com and finding nothing there.

I'll talk about domain opportunities some more on this page when I get a chance.

Buying and selling internet businesses

19. Many sites runs on "auto-pilot". A common price these sell for in site-for-sale forums is 12-24 months' worth of net earnings (silly price, but it's true). Provided you don't mess the site up you can recover your capital in as little as 12 months and then ... sell the site to recover your capital again. Double your capital every year. 100% return. Sack your stockbrokers. It really is a crazy world! How to buy a business.

20. Site flipping doesn't require as much capital and expertise as many people believe. Like property flipping, Making money offline - Buffalo Walking Service, why do only dogs  get to have fun?you buy one that needs a bit of TLC. Do it up, then sell it on for a whacking great profit. And, the beauty is you never have to deal with tenants!

21. How about cornering a little market? There are DMOZ categories with grandfathered sites (sites that have been listed for many years) which aren't being updated. If you can pick up a few sites in the same category and merge their content suddenly you "own" that niche. That opens a lot of possibilities.

The rest of the 101 to come later.

But you're determined to build a profitable, long-term Internet business, right? Hard work is not a problem. Right?

The most difficult part of this method is the product development.

What can you make without spending a penny? Something that people will still buy from you?

The answer lies in information products. We all have marketable skills. You're an expert in something.

Do you know a lot about cars?
Write a mini-book on basic engine maintenance.

Know a lot about kids?
Write a book called "101 Ways To Keep 2-year olds entertained" - you've already got your first buyer right here!

This is really doable. There are people who'd pay to know what you know.

Get nitty-gritty advice on creating your own product. Get the very short, very powerful e-book called "Ways To Make Money On The Net". No hype. Just dead-accurate advice. This document will save you two years of trial and error! Guaranteed.

WAYS TO MAKE MONEY: # 2
Make money selling someone else's product

When you sign up as an affiliate / reseller for someone else's product, you refer people to the "supplier site" and you get a cut each time someone who you referred makes a purchase. It really is that simple. Probably the most doable of the ways to make money without money.

But you will only make money at affiliate programs if you can find a good supplier. One that's honest about tracking of sales and one that will pay on time.

I highly recommend the Biz-Logo.com Logo Design Affiliate Program. It's great if you target small business owners who might be in the market for a business logo or other graphic design work.

You can't believe everything you read about affiliate programs, but they can really make money. A significant portion of my own Internet income is from affiliate programs. There are a couple of things you have to get right though. That book I mentioned above also looks at some of the best ways to make money with affiliate programs.

WAYS TO MAKE MONEY: # 3
Make money selling advertising space

The idea behind it is to offer free information from your web site to pull in high volumes of traffic. Once you've achieved that, advertisers would pay you to display their advertisements on your site. This is probably one of the oldest and most hyped ways to make money without money.

It worked really well until the end of 2000. It's how Yahoo became big. With the dotcom bust in 2000, even Yahoo was forced to look to alternative revenue streams. Advertisers began to realize that, in most cases, web advertising is just not cost effective.

Nowadays most people don't click ads right?

Right?

Wrong! There's life in this old machine yet...

Contextual advertising (like Google's AdSense program) offers a real alternative to traditional advertising - and many web site owners are rediscovering this tried and tested way of making money from their web sites.

WAYS TO MAKE MONEY: # 4
Make money doing what you already do

This is not for you if you're looking to build a serious small business on the Net. It's the easiest of the ways to make money without money, but because it's easy, it doesn't pay much.

Very little in fact.

It mostly involves getting paid to surf the Internet and getting paid to take surveys. It's like stuffing envelopes for money. If that blows your hair back, type "getting paid to do surveys" into the search box at Google and hit "Enter". Take your pick. Don't expect to get rich though.

How to Make LESS Money with Chitika Premium

Chitika heavily pushes the Chitika Premium product, does it really make more money than Google AdSense? Read on to find out the simple test result on my own blog.

Info: Chitika Premium search target advertisements which can work together with Google AdSense. Sign up here.

AdSense vs. Chitika Premium

I was using the combination of Chitika Premium (450×90) and Google AdSense large rectangle (336×280) under the blog post title.

The combination seems ok but the earning is not up to my expectation.

With Chitika’s recommendation, I applied the super large Chitika Premium MEGA unit (550×250) just right below the page header. The Chitika earning had a boost but greatly affect the AdSense earning…

OK. How about not apply Chitika Premium at all?

Google AdSense vs. Chitika Premium

As soon as I removed the Chitika Premium from my blog, the AdSense earning had a boost and the total is even more than the previous combination of “Chitika Premium + Google AdSense”!

What I learned from the test?

Most of my blog traffic comes from search engines and Chitika Premium should work well. However, the Chitika CPM is lower than Google AdSense. Therefore, even with the BIG Chitika Premium MEGA unit (high click-thru-rate), the earning is still lower than Google AdSense.

So, Chitika Premium is useless?

No. It was a simple test of a few days and every site is different. You should test on your own sites to see the result.

I’ll still apply Chitika Premium but the best ad placement spot will be reserved to Google AdSense, at least for the moment.

What works now doesn’t mean it will work forever. We should always do testing, testing, and testing.

Sign up Chitika Premium now to make money from BOTH AdSense & Chitika।

Chitika Premium can be used as an alternative to make money online from PPC, if your blog or website visitors we mostly come from U.S. and Canada and come to our blog via major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN etc.. No doubt in the world of pay per click, Google AdSense is still ruled and have a value greater clicks than chitika though. The problem .., this time to join the Google AdSense program is no longer as easy as before. And it seems if you are having a large traffic, would be very unfortunate if the abundance of premium traffic you do not use. One of them through Chitika Premium.

Could actually use the trick of “borrowing” someone else AdSense ads to be installed on our blog. Obviously this will be very difficult if not based on mutual trust is high. Moreover, if one does not already know each other. For this reason, chitika can be used as one solution to monetize our traffic.

Many bloggers are proving that Chitika actually pay… Good news, the payment can be done every month through PayPal with a minimum payout is only $10.

Although the minimum payout is only $ 10, does not mean playing Chitika Premium is an easy job. Chitika Premium ads appearing when visitors from U.S. or Canada enter to our blog via search engines.

chitika ads 300x222 Make Money with Chitika Premium

Chitika Exampe Ads

To me that is still very green in the world of “pay per click”, Chitika is a challenge and an opportunity. Although the results far than AdSense earning, Chitika interesting enough to try, as well as to hone skills and effectiveness of the SEO techniques we use to “capture” Premium Visitors Traffic.

If you place an ad chitika without GA, the best advice is to choose the type of ad size 550 x 250 px and put it under the title (high recommended) or under the posts. The second ad zone is the most often exposed and have the greatest chance of clicks. Or you can outsource the size of 160 x 600 px in sidebar blog.

If you combine chitika with google adsense and infolinks, then you should put chitika ads on the less exposed zones because the primary purpose is to earnings of GA and infolinks. Chitika while earning just as a tertiary course.

All decisions in your hands. I am here just to share the experience alone. If you are not interested in trying chitika, do not be discouraged.., there are many programs that can monetize your blog use. Do not ever stop learning and trying, including learning to make money on the internet!

So॥, happy earning!

Get  Chitika | Premium

Chitika – A Good Way To Make Money With Your Blog?

Get  Chitika Premium

I recently got an email from the folks at Chitika which informed me that I could make referral commissions on anybody I refer to Chitika for a full 15 months. They even provided me a shortcut link to send my referral link out to Twitter. But, is Chitika really any good?

I have been using Chitika for some time over on PCMech.com. I do not put very much into the program and it has been very much one of my minority income streams. But, even without putting much into it, I have been making a couple hundred dollars per month with it. It might not be much, but considering how little “face time” it gets with my readers, I’m not complaining. And surely, if I took the time to optimize it, I could probably increase my monthly income fairly easily through Chitika.

If you’re not familiar, Chitika is a company which delivers search-targeted ads. The ads are completely compatible with Google Adsense and does not compete, so you don’t have to worry about running Chitika and Adsense on the same pages. Whenever a user clicks into your site via a search engine, Chitika will deliver that user a targeted ad block based on the keywords used to find your website. So, it is super-well targeted. And as of just a few days ago, they are no longer auditing traffic using these types of ads. The auditing process has been a source of frustration for publishers because it usually means your actual monthly income ends up being less than what your stats showed.

This is the kind of ad I am running on PCMech, which means the ads are only visible when the site is entered from a search engine. If you go directly to the site or click in from another site, you will see no ad from Chitika.

These ads have been working extremely well for Chitika, so much so that it appears as if they are now making this ad type their priority. When you log in as a publisher, this is the kind of ad you will see first. Only when you click the link for other ad types will you see the other options, including Lynx (contextual ads ala Kontera), whitespace ads (which use your site’s white space on larger screen resolutions), the eMiniMall and the Multiple Product Unit (or MPU). Those last two are PPC ads which lead primarily to products.

The other ad types they’ve offered have been pretty disappointing in the past and this is the primary reason Chitika hasn’t gotten much play on PCMech.com. The ads they’ve given were poorly targeted and generated very little revenue. So, I’m not surprised at all that their Premium search-targeted ads are working so well. They alleviate the problem of poor targeting. With the new ad types, my CTR climbed dramatically and my income climbed to the point that it is.

Chitika works best when (1) you have a lot of incoming traffic from search engines, and/or (2) you have a product oriented website which people come to when looking for particular kinds of products (i.e. a review site). Additionally, you can make money by referring people to Chitika. That won’t work for everybody, but for some it can.

So, if you’re running a site and want to try making some extra month with it, I would recommend Chitika. I’m still not making enough from Chitika to justify replacing any of my other ad sources with Chitika, but specifically targeting my search traffic makes a lot of sense and it does provide a little boost to my income. If you run a review site, you could probably make a killing with Chitika. As anybody in this business will tell you, you want a bunch of different income streams and, for me, Chitika is one of them.

SIGN UP FOR CHITIKA NOW! It has made me lots of money.

Do you know that Chitika was the first company I made money online from? In 2005, clicks from Asia were included and I did get a sum of money each month. Chitika was the reason I opened a PayPal account and I got my very first payment on Paypal through Chitika.

After that, I sort of forget all about Chitika because when they exclude clicks from the Asia continent, I wasn’t earning much anymore. I think I have neglected my Chitika account for 3 years already. Today, I decided to log in and I found I still have USD9 bucks there!

Above screenshot of my account with Chitika. So, I decide to check out what Chitika offers for bloggers. I am surprised that they now have so many types of ads that we can place on our blogs. Why not sign up Chitika and see for yourself? The below is my affiliate banner. :)

Get  Chitika eMiniMalls

I have taken Chitika for a ride. I use the Related Products and placed it on my parenting blog. It fits nicely in the single page. You can view one of my post on high fever and note the Related Products ad.

Chitika also have the in link ads very much like Kontera. I have put the code on my blog but can’t see any links appearing yet. Beside that, I saw one white space ad. I didn’t use the code but I think Mac users and those with huge monitor will be able to see one ad appearing outside the theme of our blog. Interesting…

Now, I wonder how soon can I make money with Chitika? Enough for me to cash out the balance USD9 that has been around since 2005.

Make Money With Chitika

How To Make Money With Chitika

Have you heard about a service called Chitika? If you have not you really need to check it out to see if it is suitable for you to make more money online.

I was skeptical at first thinking that adsense was the only way, but after reading about Chitika and how you can place the code with adsense already on the site I thought I would give it a ago.

I have been testing Chitika and Adsense on the same page and of course rotating the ads so there is no disadvantage to either and I must say that I was very surprised to see that the Chitika ad was definatey out performing the adsense hands down.

I have been reading reviews about this service and how some users are reporting a 300% increase in revenue which again I was very skeptical about as i had tried this service about a year ago with very little result.

However they have now changed there ads which are now much more attrative to the user and are more targeted to the keyword that was typed into the search engine or the meta tags of the page which seems to be working.

Its the same old story that you really cant sell a blue car to somebody if they are wanting to buy a red car and I think Chitika has now got it very right.

The site I have testing it on is about baby showers and the cpc has been around 0.11 cents whereas with adsense the cpc has been around 0.5 cents a click. The click through rate on the ads is also close enough to double over the last week and it will be interesting to see what it goes to once i remove the adsense from the site.

So will Chitika be the new adsense alternative is there a new kid on the block when it comes to paid advertising on your site.

Make sure you favorite this hub as i will update it every week with my results and any pitfalls I may encounter.

Do yourself a favor however and checkout Chitika for yourself....

How I make money with Chitika eMiniMalls



I had previously written about how I make money with Text Link Ads and promised to share my other money makers with you. Another way I earn money from sites is by using Chitika eMiniMalls. Chitika have been around for a while and I joined them pretty much at the start.
Chitika PPC ad units

Chitika PPC ad unitsChitika now provide several ways to monetize your site, I will concentrate on their eMiniMalls as that is the system I use. eMiniMalls are ad units available in the standard sizes that display products to your visitors. Every time a visitor clicks on the ad you earn an amount depending on the product and other factors that Chitika keep secret. It's like Adsense in many ways.

The information you are interested in is how the ad units perform. Well I can't give out specifics but per click I am getting on average about 20 something cents and the CTR is good. In all it's been worthwhile using the service as for my sites anyway it seems to perform better than Adsense. You can also use eMiniMalls on the same page as Adsense as long as you switch off the contextual part in the setup of your eMiniMalls ad units.

Another thing I like about them is that they pay via PayPal which is more convenient, I only wish more companies would do this. The only point about them I do not like is that they audit your earnings. This means that you are not sure of your earnings for several weeks after a click is made. There are unaudited and audited reports. The reason for this is for click fraud. At least Adsense do this auditing live.
Chitika affiliate program

There is also an affiliate program which I haven't really pushed that much but it seem quite generous compared to similar services. When you refer another publisher you get 10% of any earnings for 15 months.

I would recommend using Chitika for product based sites as this. The ads available tend to be electronics orientated. I use the service on my MP3 player site, I shouldn't think the ads would work very well on non product sites.
