I’ve been writing some articles about Google Adsense, basic material for anyone interested in finding out what Google Adsense is all about and how they might get started. Soon I’ll have a free Adsense package with ebooks and reports that will help anyone get adsense on their site. Below is an interview with Michael Cheney….he produced a very informative set of screen capture videos that covers everything you wanted to know about Google Adsense….read the interview and take a look at his course…..some say it’s the best course on adsense in a long time!

Interview
with Michael Cheney from AdSense-Videos.com

Q. So what made
you get started with AdSense?

A. I
was looking for a way to monetize some of my websites. AdSense
is such an easy thing to get started with the eye for it would
be a great way to start earning more money without actually putting
into much more effort. I think as soon as you see the first earnings
coming into your account you get addicted to AdSense. I know is
what happened to me and since then I’ve just spent time working
out how to earn more and more each day.

Q. How much do
you make with AdSense
?

A. Some days I can earn
close to $1000 and others it’s less than that. But it all comes
down to how much time and effort you devote to creating a quality
site that people like visiting. AdSense is not what my business
is based on by any means – but it is a great way to earn revenue
almost on autopilot.

Q. What is the
biggest mistake people making with AdSense?

A. Probably
the biggest mistake people make is thinking the AdSense earnings
are easy to achieve. It is very easy to get started but as I learned
it takes a lot of effort to increase your earnings. I got really
downhearted whenever I would log in to my account to see that
I had only made a few dollars. And that’s when I decided to spend
months and months of my time learning everything I could about
AdSense.

I basically buried myself
away and devoured every single piece of AdSense information I
could find. I ran thousands of AdSense tests and started to see
a dramatic effect on my click through ratio and therefore on my
earnings.

This is why I’d decided
to record the videos – because I knew that it would help people
who were in my position to also increase their earnings. I’ve
read an absolute ton of AdSense e-book’s but they take so long
to go through and always seem to keep information back.

With AdSense Videos I
knew that I had to tell the story exactly as it is and actually
show people and lead them by the hand through the exact techniques
that I use to generate large earnings from AdSense.

Q. In your videos
you show people how to increase their AdSense earnings – can you
give us a taster of this advice?

A. I
don’t want to give away my biggest secrets as you can understand!
But some of the more basic things that you can do to increase
your revenues include using ads that blend in rather than stand
out from your content. Flat out the worst thing you can do with
an AdSense ad is make it look like the standard Google ad. What
you need to realise is that you will get more clicks if your ad
actually appears part of your site rather than something that’s
just been dropped into the page.

Q. What would
you recommend that someone do right now to increase their AdSense
earnings?

A. I’ve
created a totally free AdSense minicourse that people can go through
to learn some of my techniques. It takes you through the four
cornerstone principles that I’ve used to build up my AdSense empire.

Consider this fact. Adsense information has been a main contributor to the Internet marketing buzz on forums, discussions and newsletters for months now.

Because of this, Google Adsense has grabbed almost every online entrepreneurs attention and the center of their online financial model.

It’s literally taken for granted. When you put Adsense information to good use, it just might be the first way you start making money with internet marketing.

Now listen to this very carefully. I know you want to start making money quick, this is one of the most important rules: Place the ads on the pages of your website that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords.

I hope you’ve been able to follow me so far! Basically, the internet has taken the world by storm…people jump on line for so many different reasons, some to research, some to find friends, some to talk to friends…you know what I mean, and as a consequence there are so many webpages being built…..most with adsense!!

All these people online and all these webpages mean many, many adsense ads. But I know you might not believe it can really make you money.

But honestly, there is only one requirement for you to begin making money with Google Adsense. You need your own adsense account….to get one, you need your own website or blog. Once you site has been approved, you will be given a code to paste onto you site.

Newbie’s marvel at how easy this can be.

No doubt about it, targeting high traffic pages on your website will surely make you a ton of money. High traffic isn’t always an option and, by inserting the adsense code on webpages that have trickling amounts of traffic, you’ll have a good probability of converting your low traffic with proper efforts on your part. Maybe you won’t get rich overnight with low traffic sites, but therer are things you can do to increase the traffic and your income.

Do you have a resource page on your website…it’s a great page for your adsense ads. In truth, this will reduce the amount of potential customers being lost to other sites. Follow ideas like this and a little work on your part means extra income.

Using ideas like this for seed though, you can create many situations suited for adsense. You must be wondering what do you need on your site for a better responding google adsense site.
· Unique Content
· Niche Oriented Keywords
· New Traffic
· The Design Layout of the Ads

If you get a handle on some of the design and strategy efforts you can begin to develop a nice income with Google Adsense. Take the time to master all four, and you’ll quickly rise to the top of the ranks. Bottom line is, using Google Adsense information properly will generate a fairly decent income for you in a relatively short amount of time. You don’t have to listen to me. Try it out and see what happens.

Unfolding Google Adsense Online Magazine Publisher

Did you ever want to be a magazine publisher?  Welcome to Adsense!  One way to look at the google adsense program is that Google manages the articles on your online magazine…..I know, you’re saying you don’t have an online magazine….simply symantics. Do you have a website?

The way Adsense works is very simple to comprehend. All you need to do is find Googles Adsense page and sign up for a publishers account.   Next watch your inbox from Google for an email, you’ll be accepted and the email will tell you exactly what you need to do to get started displaying Google Adsense.  Next you are instructed to log in to your own area and get a special piece of html code that you put on your site.

You’re now ready, you go and build your online magazine.  Fill it with the content that interests you – health concerns, pets, raising kids, jobs, etc.  Companies want to sell to passionate buyers….and people are passionate about many subjects, find one and start writing about it.  It doesn’t get much better than this….. building an online magazine around a subject you love can make a lot of money.

Figure out where you want to place your ads. You’ll find a variety of ad sizes you can work with.  Adsense has been around for a while and much testing has been done, size is important and these experts have found that the large rectangle below the headline but above the story converts best.   You always need to test these things yourself.  Put different size ads in different places and see what makes you the most money.

The goal is to become successful with your Adsense ads, meaning a lot of clicks on your ads. This means you need to focus on those pasionate people we talked about….keep them interested in your content.  That makes the ads seem more like an endorsed part of your site and not just advertisements cluttering up the page.

===========================

Online Magazine Publisher & Adsense Videos

===========================

The goal is to become successful with your Adsense ads, meaning a lot of clicks on your ads. This means you need to focus on those pasionate people we talked about….keep them interested in your content.   Just as the size of the circulation in the offline magazine publishing business determines the cost of the ads, in the online magazine world, the number of visitors to your site will determine how much money you can potentially make.

Once you have published articles, don’t take them down.  Instead, continually increase the number of pages in your magazine.  To state the obvious,  the more pages with google adsense displayed, your chances of getting ads clicked on will be much greater.

Your welcome to Adsense email will direct you to the rules and regulations of the program.  You’d be wise to study these rules and understand them.  Many adsense marketers have lost their adsense account, any money in the account along with the pagerank of your website if you think you can game the system and cheat on the rules.  Did you know that one of Google Adsense ruls is that you must have a privacy policy page on your site….failure to do so will jeopardize your site, so make sure all your sites have a page that describes what you do with the information you collect.

The internet has allowed people to start dream businesses from home.  Youtube entered the scene and now it allows anyone to produce a short movie and place it in a medium that can be viewed by millions….you are now a Producer.  Adsense opens many possibilites to create a good alternative income to anyone willing to learn and put in the effort. Why not start your own online magazine publishing business today!. All from the confines of your own home, all you need is your computer, interenet connection and a screen……you’re ready!

Keep this in mind….or maybe I should call it a tip for success……when you get your “Welcome to Adsense Email” ….read it thouroughly so you have a real understanding of Program Policies.

One sure way to learn about google adsense is to watch someone that is already an online magazine publisher and makes a lot of money with google adsense!

I ran into another forum member that was excited because they got a pr3 on a wordpress.com site. These are blogs hosted by someone else. She had a problem with whether she should transfer the blog to a self-hosted blog or keep it where it’s at. I tried to answer!

Her Comment

I just wanted to share my good news! I’m on page 1 of Google for the search term internet business blogs! WOOHOO! I’ve been considering switching to a self hosted wordpress blog to have more features but what about my current rank? That doesn’t carry over right? Any ideas or suggestions?

Oh by the way, my current post features our very own Jason Moffat and his CRAZY Twitter treasure video!

This is what I had to say:

I’ll give you my 2 cents

First I would suggest you move your blog to a self-hosting blog. Never use wordpress.com for any type of serious blog with the purpose of making money or generating any type of income….it’s against the terms and other fine print when you sign up for a free wordpress.com blog.

The danger in using a third party hossting solution like wordpress.com or blogger.com is that you lose control of your blog. If the hosting solution disappears…so does your blog. If you offend them….poof….your blog is gone.

When you transfer the blog, you will lose all your pagerank. The entire site will have to get spidered and indexed again.

Not too long ago, I had a wordpress.com blog that unexpecedly started to grow, I spend some time and before long it had a pr3, I had good traffic and I was making a nice income from affiliate sales.

It wasn’t a spam blog, good articles….all written by myself. I had some affiliate links in the sidebar and some of the posts were reviews for niche related products.

After about 4 months I tried to make a post one day and I got an error message, shortly afterwards I got an email from the folks at wordpress.com. My blog was getting shut down for violation of their terms of service. You can’t post affiliate links, sell any products or use a wordpress.com blog for generating income.

Seems as though someone from the wordpress.com network reported my blog.

They did give me some time to download the .xlm file so I could transfer the blog. In about a week the blog was gone.

Sooooooo

Your blog blatantly violates their terms of service and if someone would report it…..you’ll get that dreaded notice. So I would transfer the blog as soon as possible.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! I know how frustrating it can be, but you’ll be happier with a self-hosted blog since you’ll have no restrictions and many more options.

Good Luck

Scott
