Continuing our series on designing a new website, and keeping money making in mind as you go through the steps of conceptualizing the site and getting it set up, today we will look at how you can best deliver ads to your readers in a way that will make you the most money.  In our last article in the series, we talked about choosing a platform on which to build your site.  I think that today I might tell you about something that many people seem not to know about. What is it that I have in mind, which you may not know about?  Well, I call it GAM, because it used to be named Google Ad Manager.  The name was changed last year to … [Read more...]

Making money from things you like and enjoy

Over at 45n5 Mark has been talking about making money off things that you enjoy, or like doing.  As a matter of fact, he has an interesting video about this concept, let’s have a look: I have used a lot of methods to monetize websites, I’ve done it through advertising like AdSense, affiliate ads, and other methods.  Over the last six months, though, as I have alluded to before, I have taken a special interest in monetizing one of my sites.  This particular site did not monetize well with any kind of advertising that I tried.  However, it was the site most precious to me, one that I love a lot, and really a daily part of my … [Read more...]

With friends like these…

I love my friends.  I have lots of them, and they enrich my life a lot.  Of course, some friends are closer than others, some are basically just acquaintances.  For a lot of my friends, I do things to help them, when it comes to earning money, especially making money online.  I give advice to them, tips, even help them set up things.  For some, this is very helpful, for others it doesn’t seem to help that much, because they don’t follow through. Over this past week I have had experiences where two of my friends could have had a seriously negative impact on my ability to earn money online.  I want to advise my readers that … [Read more...]

$1 per day: Get it from Google!

Do you have a blog? If not, you really should consider having one. The first thing that people ask about having a blog is this – “What will I write about?” Well to be totally honest, that is a decision for you to make! My best advice is this: Write about something that you are passionate about! Every one of us has different things that we are interested in, and you should choose one of the things that interest you as the topic of your blog. Some people have very “general” blog sites. One day they write about the flowers they planted in the garden, the next day they write about a new factory being built in … [Read more...]

A few days ago, I decided that it was time for me to shake things up a bit on some of my various websites.  I am mostly talking about advertising.  If you keep the exact same ads on your site for a long time, they tend to get stale, and people go blind to them.  That is one of the reasons why I strongly recommending using an ad server of some kind to rotate your ads, and put them in different areas of the page on each reload. However, in addition to rotation by the ad server, it’s a good idea to go and look for new kinds of ads from time to time to keep your site fresh, and to keep people looking at new things that will attract their … [Read more...]

Learning the ins and outs of Adsense

November 19, 2010 By

You know, I use Google Adsense to monetize a number of blogs, and I have been happy with the results.  I have been able to reach a point where my daily earnings on Adsense are enough to significantly supplement my earnings from other sources, and I am still relatively young at the Adsense game. As I make adjustments to my Adsense placements and other factors in order to improve earnings, I am really learning.  I spent the past months working on improving the number of ad views that I could attract.  The more that people saw the ads, the more clicks I would get, resulting in more income, right?  Well, that is true.  But, I have learned … [Read more...]

Google AdSense reporting fixed!

January 29, 2008 By Leave a Comment

I was very happy last week when I logged into my AdSense account and looked at my channel by channel list of results and saw that Google had fixed the report! You see, back in the past, the channels were all arranged by which ones earned the most money.  A few weeks ago, they all seemed to be displayed at random.  A channel that had earned nothing might have been listed at the top, followed by one that made $10, followed by one that made $1.  It was confusing, and required me to spend time taking a close look at each channel and analyze the data.  That is a waste of good time! Last week, when I looked at the report, it was fixed!  I … [Read more...]
