October Earnings for this Blog: $133

First of all thanks to all my readers.

My blog has started growing and this is the result of that. Because of my link building strategies I have achieved this and hope to achieve this again and again.

I am planning to grow slowly and steadily. But the reason why you are not seeing updates for last couple of days is bit personal (Some family health issues). Also I am setting up my new offshore development centre in India.

I introduced kontera to this blog in middle of this month. Now let me give you some small breakup of my earnings

Google Adsense: $127
Kontera: $6

This month total: $133
Previous month total: $100

Total Earnings: $233

I know my earnings are so low than the other biggies in this niche. But sure I am trying my best to provide good content and earn more. ;)

Best time to put google adsense on your blog

As I have described some basic blogging tips here and tips to do link building for blogs here, now I would like to discuss one important question for which most of the bloggers seek answer. The question is what is the best time to put Google Adsense on my blog?

Somebody will say that there is no need to check what is the best time, just put it from the first day and start earning. Other will say after one month from the day when you start your blog you should put adsense on your blog. But I would say without traffic there is no point in putting ads on your blog. Let say if your blog is 1 or 2 years old but it has only 2 or 3 unique visitors a day then there will be no income from adsense right?

So I have concluded some points depending on my experience and listed them here.

·         I will say keep your blog clean and easy to read. Don’t make the blog “Ads blog”.

·         Try to create good readership and generate more traffic.

·         As per my suggestion once you start getting around 50 unique visitors per day put first ad block to your blog.

·         Now stop and see the performance of that block. Also don’t forget to add good content and create new readers every day.

·         Now when your unique visitor count reaches in the band of 100 to 200 you can move forward and put second ad block.

·         And when you get continuously 200+ visitors every day put all the possible ad blocks you can.

·         You will need more unique visitors depending on the niche of your blog. I have just listed the basics.

 

These are my suggestions but you can apply your brain according to your needs. I would also suggest use one text link advertising network with adsense to get more profit. But the key point is to keep your blog updated and try to get more and more quality readers.

You are always welcome to give your views and correct my errors ;)

Beware : Google Adsense keeping eye on you

October 20, 2008 · Posted in Blogging, Google Adsense, Make Money Online · 21 Comments 
How Google Adsense knows that you are clicking your own ads?
This question is asked so many times by new users. Even I received one comment on one of my previous posts where user asked me whether I have clicked on my own ads. So let me tell you one thing very clearly, don’t ever try to click on your own ads and never try to fool yourself. Google will surely catch you and soon it will send you the mail saying “Bye Bye!”. Here I have analyzed and make a list of some points describing how Google can know that you are clicking on your own ads.
 
  • Google search: Google keeps track of each and every search made from your PC and your IP.
  • Your IP: Google knows what your IP is. Let say you have dynamic IP and it is changing every time, no problem, remember Google is showing all the information regarding your PC in analytics. So they have all the information about your IP.
  • Group of IPs: If you try to make group of friends from different parts of the world, then also Google can track everybody and block all the IPs.
  • Your PC: Google knows the basic configuration of your PC. (RAM, CPU, BROWSER, etc…)
  • Gmail: When you create an account with Google, Google can easily track you whenever you use that account.
  • Google Tools: When you registered with any Google API or Tool, you are under the radar of Google. For Example, if you are using the webmaster tool or analytics tool, Google will have all the information regarding your sites and site statistics. ;)

 

So what I believe Google has more powerful investigating system then Scotland Yard, CIA or FBI. :D
 
I suggest instead of getting into this kind of stuff we should do proper link building and SEO for our blog and keep updating unique content frequently.
Please do not hesitate to share your views on this post.

Google adsense placement tips – Increase Profit

October 13, 2008 · Posted in Blogging, General, Google Adsense, Make Money Online · 12 Comments 

Have you ever imagine that google adsense placement can drastically increase your profit from it? It is important that how you do adsense ad placement on your page. The adsense placement should be different depending on the page type. That means that the adsense ad placement will be according to the type of the page that is website or blog. Here I will explain you some basic ad placement tips which are basically suggested by the google itself.

Though there are so many writings describing where to place adsense ads. But google has developed heat maps after so much research on the highest earning adsense placement.

Ad placement suggested for websites :

Ad placement suggested for blogs :

Google says, This heat map illustrates these ideal placements on a sample page layout. The colors fade from dark orange (strongest performance) to light yellow (weakest performance). All other things being equal, ad placements above the fold tend to perform better than those below the fold. Ads placed near rich content and navigational aids usually do well because users are focused on those areas of a page.

Similarly for blogs red color has the highest interaction with the users and then blue. Generally search box should be put on the top left area of the blog.

There are so many sites or blogs who have changed their layout after google has released this heat map, and they have seen incredible change in their click through means they are earning more online from google adsense than they were before. ;)

Google adsense tips for blogs – Make money using Adsense

Many of the bloggers are using google adsense to monetize their blogs. There are some new users who are using adsense, but they are not earning effectively from the adsense. So after using adsense for some time they just remove adsense from their blogs and try to find out other similar programs. Though there are some good alternatives to Google adsense, I would suggest bloggers not to leave adsense as if you have good and unique content on your blog, adsense will definitely give you great rewards. Here are some tips to get maximum from adsense in your blog.
 
 
 
  • Unique Content – In this matter I would say “Unique content is the key to success”. Always try to put unique content on your blog. Never copy from others. By Creating unique content for your blog you will surely see an increase in earnings from adsense as well as from any other alternative you are using. This will also help you to rank well in the search engines.

 

  • Concentrate on Niche – When you plan to create a blog, first decide the niche in which you have expertise or you can write on different topics. Be sure that you don’t diverse from your original niche. Try to make your blog an authority blog in selected niche.

 

  • Regular updates – This is where generally bloggers lack. It happens to me also that what should I write every day? and I also find it difficult to find good and unique content regularly. But this is the basic need to get success and earn more money online from blogging.

 

  • Keyword research – I have found so many bloggers searching high paying keywords. I don’t think this will work in much effective way. What I believe and I suggest is try to make your blog authority for the niche you have selected. If you have not done so and you compete with some highly competitive keywords then there are fewer chances to compete with them. So try to build an authority blog in your niche.

 

  • Link Building – Link building affects most of the areas of successful Blogging. Try to build back links for your blog by registering your blog to different social bookmarking sites. Submit your blog to different blog directories. Find similar bloggers who are writing on the same or similar niche and exchange links with them. Good link building will surely give you long term profit from google adsense.
 
These tips are based on my own experience and some tips I have found while searching the internet. There are some major points which I never forget to follow whenever I create a new blog or even updating an existing blog.
I believe that these are the most basic things to do to make your blog popular and monetize it from Google Adsense in better manner. If you have any other great tips please share with me.
