Protect Your Adsense Income !

Autor: iwilliam99

Many web site owners are getting their Google Adsense account terminated when they have done nothing wrong to deserve the punishment. Considering the money that they are getting from Adsense, they would certainly want to get back into it.

Considering the money to be made with Adsense, it is no wonder that they would want to get back into it.

It is that same consideration why the Google Adsense click fraud is thought of and why many people are getting into it.

Click fraud is the act of clicking on ads for the purpose of costing the advertiser money. It is simply the same as paying out cash for false leads. Many people website owners are aware of this fraud and are sharing the same sentiment that this is the one big problem that Adsense is facing.

How do you prevent being involved in this fraud?

Majority of web hosts are offering access logs. Once this is offered to you, it is necessary that you hand it over to Google as well. This allows them to look for any suspicious activity on your site. Problems like this are very serious and giving it to them is saying that you would want to help them in any way you can in solving the problem.

It can also help if you have a click monitoring software. If you do not have one yet, you should try and get one. There is absolutely no major factor preventing you from having one because most of this software is free.

As usual, all the information you have received should be turned over to Google. This is showing Google that you too are fighting against click frauds and is in no way a part of it.

Study your server logs and watch for any activity that seems suspicious. Report anything that you may find odd, may it big or small thing.

You may want to consider disabling ads for your own IP address and local geographic area. This will certainly prevent accidents and will not make Google mistake another user as you. You can do through a htaccess file. This will avoid Google mistaking as clicking on your own ads and be kicked out because of it.

Keep your Adsense off on pop ups and pop unders. Your ads should not be displayed on content sites that promote illegal activity or tampering of the legal rights of other people or business. Included in this are the content that is considered adult and gambling ones. If you think that you may be breaking this rule, immediately remove your content or Adsense from the web page.

Be truthful and confess up to Google about times when you might have clicked on your own as, whether accidentally or intentionally. Or the times when you have done something that is against the Terms of Service that they are implementing. Be honest about anything that you may have done that is wrong. Confessing is way better than Google learning about it eventually. It would mean eventual termination and no getting back what you have worked so hard for.

Do not tell your family or friends about Adsense on your website. Chances are they may start clicking on them to help you make money without you knowing it. They may be doing more harm to you than help by trying it in the first place.

If ever someone you know chanced upon your Adsense, make sure they understand that they cannot click on your ads under any circumstances. It would be wise to brief them on important things about Adsense and what not to do with them.

Most pay per click networks have different measures in hand to protect website owners against click frauds. Other search engines can track more than 50 data points, IP address, browser's information, user's session info and pattern recognition. They also have "systems" available that detects fraud. Not to mention the specialized teams monitoring how things are going and helping advertisers stop click frauds.

Google offers suggestion on how to avoid click fraud. Using "negative keywords" can be used to keep your Adsense showing on products and services that are in no way related to yours. Adding tracking URLs to your links so you can track the traffic coming from Google.

Do not be caught in the Google click fraud. Be aware and be wary.

I Want 30,000 Visitors And I Know How To Get Them, Do You?

Autor: liztomey


Pick a number. Any number. We're talking the number of people you want to get to your site each month. I'll pick 30,000. Why did I pick this number? Well, I have ten websites, and I get an average of $26 per 1,000 visitors per site. Knowing that, as long as I get 1,000 visitors to each of my sites each day, I'll make $260 a day. That's $1,820 a week. 1,000 visitors a day averages out to about 30,000 visitors a month. This all sounds great, but I bet you want to know how you can do the same thing.

There are three different ways I use to get 1,000 people a day to each of my sites, and I'll explain each of them to you. It's very easy and only requires simple math and you deciding where you to want to put the most focus.

Let's start with the first way.

First you'll need to find a keyword that gets 1,000 searches a day. Next you'll create a web page that is optimized for that one keyword. After that page has been completed, you'll need to get as many links as you can to that page. This will help your page rank, and get you ranked higher in the search engines for your keyword.

The only problem with this strategy is it's very hard to get top rankings for only one keyword. Also, with a keyword that gets 1,000 searches a day, you're probably going to have a lot of competition. So before you try this strategy, make sure to research how hard it will be to out rank your competition.

I only use this strategy when I find I don't have much competition for the keyword. This strategy can take a lot of work, but can really pay off in the long run. Meaning you could make a lot more money with just this one keyword through Adsense or other affiliate revenue.

The second strategy I use is similar to the first strategy except you will find 10 keywords that get 100 searches a day. That's still 1,000 searches a day, so you'll still be able to reach your 30,000 visitors a month goal. Once you find your 10 keywords that get 100 searches a day, you'll create an optimized web page for each keyword. Once you have all your web pages built, you'll need to get as many links to each page as you can.

This is an attractive strategy because keywords with 100 searches a day usually have much less competition that keywords that get 1000 searches a day. The only draw back of this strategy is that you have to work harder and more at getting links. You need to get as many links as you can for each of the 10 web pages. So basically, you have to work 10 times harder to getting links.

There's one last strategy I'd like to talk about, and this time you are going to find 500 keywords that get 2 searches a day. That's still 1,000 searches a day and about 30,000 searches a month. Create an optimized web page for each of your keywords. Last but not least, you'll need to get a few links to your site.

This is a great strategy if you don't like or want to work on getting links to your site. If you like to create content more than work on getting links to your site then this is the way to go. You really don't have to worry about competition when you're dealing with keywords that get two searches a day.

I tend to use the second strategy the most because it offers a balance between creating content and getting links to your site. Any of the strategies will work, but it's up to you to decide where you want to put your efforts.

So, pick a number. Any number. Pick a strategy that suites you and start getting 30,000 visitors a month to your site.

Search Engines 101 Paid Vs. Natural Search

Autor: tkdterry

Whenever folks want to store this getting involved in Internet marketing the first thing that comes to their mind is what the difference between natural search and paid search is. Both strategies have their pros and cons but can be very effective as part of a marketing strategy. The following article is a brief description of both natural and paid search strategies.

Paid search is when your ad shows up at the very top of a Google search or down the right hand side of the results page. These are called “sponsored ads”. You pay for those positions. When every you click on one of those ads the owner of the ad pays Google. This is also called “pay-per-click”. The amount you pay is determined by several factors including what you are willing to pay every time someone clicks on your ad.

Natural Search is when you type in a “keyword" and a link and a description shows up on left hand side of the search result page. The only way to get on the first page is to have very relevant content on your web site and links to your site from other relevant sites. This is a long process for people in it for the long haul. There are a lot of companies that claim to be able to get you on the first page of Google. That may be true if the “search term” is very specific and no one else would ever search for it but you or they are using a “black hat” method that could get you site banned from the search engine.

Search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN are really just data bases. When you do a Google Search you are not searching the “world wide web” you are searching Google’s data base. There are two ways to get in to these databases. One is to submit your site to the different search engines. In about 6 to 9 weeks the search engine will index your site. They have software that comes to your site and index every page and adds it to the database. They come into your main web URL and follow the links to all the pages of your site. They capture key elements from the code on your page to the content. These are then stored in the data base. When someone puts a keyword in the search box the “algorithms” determine the best page or links to the best pages for your search.

The other way to get added to the search engines data base is to have the search engine software find you through a link to your site from another web site back to yours. The software, called “spiders” will periodically comeback and re crawl your site to see if you have updated it.

One important thing to know is that each page on your site is indexed individually and each page stands on its own. The ranking are based upon the combination of correct meta tags, relevant content to the keyword they are trying to get rankings for and link popularity. Mostly one way links back to their site from relevant sites.

As long as the search engine can index the site, clearly read the meta tags and content, the better. The big issues come when a site is built in flash with very little content (search engines cannot read or index "flash" sites. Also, if the bulk of the relevant content is in PDF format this is bad because the search engines cannot read PDF. If the search engines cannot index the relevant text there will be no rankings.

You all ready know this but "sites" are not ranked, individual pages are ranked for specific terms found in the content of that page as well as link popularity, (relevant links pointing back to that specific page) for the term that you are trying to get ranked on.
This is why each page has to be giving very specific attention.

Bottom line: Paid search means you pay for your position. The benefit is if you have the $$ you will get instant traffic. Stop paying and the traffic goes away. Natural search is free traffic but it is built over time. The advantage is that if done right, it can provide traffic for a long time.

Search traffic (paid or natural) is the BEST traffic to have because you are being found by folks who are specifically looking for what you have. It does not get any better than that.

AdWords Ads At Google

Autor: runner

Google is not a whatever market place, over 200 million searches are made every single day. It means that it is like a big department store with huge customer flow.

The keywords, which people use when they dig information from Google, are market segments, to which you can target your ads at Google. When you start to prepare ads at Google, first you have to do a keyword research. This is very important because people search information at Google using keywords or keyphrases. They are the topics they are interested in.

Normally you can use tens or hundreds of targeted keywords to be able to reach enough prospects. And to test which ones are working at ads in Google. Then just skip those, which did not bring the traffic.

The content of the ads at Google is critical, minor changes can turn the pull up or downwards. Use your best and most related keyword in the headline and once in the bodycopy of your ad.

AdWords ads at Google bring excellent targeted traffic very quickly, even in ours, but the campaign must be planned carefully.

It is useful to remember, that searchers are searching information, they are not prepared to buy right away. Those who are, are tire kickers mostly. By ads at Google you have to build relationships with the clickers.

This makes the landing page important. Do not wait for sale, prepare to build relationships with your ads at Google.

Some sort of a gift on your landing page is the best. It is nice to get gifts, it is a compliment. When a searcher has clicked your link, give him a quality eBook, free marketing course or teleseminar.

The searcher must notice the gift immediately and sign up to your form to be able to get the gift. Nothing boring but colourful pop overs for instance. This makes your ads at Google work.

You can raise the number of buyers strongly by giving them a gift, getting their email address and keeping touch with them with quality autoresponder during a long time.

Your gift have to be like a temptation, too teasing to leave.
If a person clicks once your AdWords ads at Google without living an email address, you have lost him maybe for ever.

It is shocking, how many people use ads at Google, but do not think that building a relationship is the issue. Relationship building is a multi step process. In most cases from 5 to 7 contacts is needed, before the prospect is ready to buy.

You may have heard the term preselling. Preselling means telling the top of the iceberg only and building trust with the prospect. It is very polite to let the prospect to get all the information he wants, before your sales pitch.

Planning ads at Google must be very in detail work. Things must be exactly correct, not almost. In AdWords advertising the experience is a valuable currency. You just have to know the details from your own experience.

There are a lot of useful software, which are impossible to list here because of the rules.

Affiliate Marketing Basics

Affiliate Marketing Basics

Autor: davtom


Affiliate marketing is the process of tracking leads and sales for the purposes of rewarding individuals and companies for referring others to their web sites that convert into leads and sales with commission payments. Usually, this process involves the use of a specially-encoded tracking hyperlink that identifies you as the referrer of the traffic.

There is one very easy way to get started with affiliate marketing. If you've ever used the Google search engine, it's likely that you will have seen some advertisements called "sponsored links." On Yahoo's search engine, you get a column called "sponsor results." MSN's search engine calls them "sponsored sites." In each case, from the heading, you can tell that people pay for those links to be published on the search engine.

These search engines have each set up a nice easy way to relieve you of some money from your credit card, for which they display these adverts for you. You don't pay each time the ad is shown. You only pay if the reader clicks on your ad, which will send the reader to the web site you have specified. You decide on the text of an ad you would like to place, when the ad should be displayed (for example, when somebody searches for "Christmas"), and how much you would be prepared to pay if the person searching clicks on your ad. The person doing the search is then sent to the web site you specified, and you get charged an amount that may be as little as one penny, but typically may be in the region of 5 to 15 cents or 3 to 10p. Google's service is called Google AdWords, and I believe it's the most popular of these services.

Now, if you had a product to sell, you could easily make money this way, as long as enough people buy your product after you've purchased your advertising. If you don't have a product, you can still make money from the commissions, again, as long as the amount you are paying for advertising does not exceed the amount you are making with commissions.

How do you find affiliate programmes? There are many affiliate networks and individual affiliate programmes out there. ClickBank is one of the most popular affiliate networks, also providing credit-card processing services. ClickBank mainly deals in electronic delivery products such as electronic books and software, and, at the time of writing, commissions can run as high as 70% for these products (ClickBank claims commissions can be 75%, but they take a 7.5% + $1 cut, and the remaining money is shared between the vendor and affiliate according to the vendor's chosen commission percentage).

Another affiliate network is ValueClick's Commission Junction, one of the largest, which administers affiliate programmes for a lot of household brand names such as eBay. There are many smaller affiliate networks, and there are also affiliate programmes that are independent of any network, where the merchant runs the tracking software.

What most of these affiliate networks and programmes have in common is that you can sign up as an affiliate for free, and the networks or merchants will send you money when your commission reaches a certain level; in some cases this is done electronically, in other cases through the issue of cheques. Some people treat affiliate marketing as a hobby; for others, it's a lucrative full-time business. Earnings can literally be uncapped, and your success depends on how dedicated you are to the business, and, to a certain extent, luck.Source: Free Articles
