Still Trying To Make Money With Google ?

Make Money with Google Adsense!

Top Paying Keywords! $100 per click! You have seen these headlines, right?

Are they real? Can one person clicking on you Adsense links really earn you a $100? Maybe, maybe not.

Although Google Adsense and pay per click marketing through their Adsense adverts has become an essential part of most websites today.

In fact, Google Adsense has revolutionized the pay per click market by using an innovative approach to advertising.

There is no doubt that the Google Adsense program is one of the most successful affiliate marketing programs ever created, but can clicks on your Adsense links really earn you money? Yes, webmasters are making money with Google Adsense but how much, and how are they doing it is the real question.

In the early days of the Internet, website publishers earned income through selling advertising banner space on their sites. Usually these banners would be designed to catch the eye of the consumer in an attempt to get them to click on it. The website would then receive a tiny profit from the click through.

This was the standard way of generating advertising income until Google came up with Google Adsense.

Ironically, today the main challenge currently facing the affiliate solution providers is the competition from [pay per click] PPC search engine marketing.

You simply sign-up to use the [pay per click] PPC service and then, upon approval, you are able to choose the style of adverts to place on your website. This can be in the form of traditional banner ads or text links, in a variety of shapes and sizes. You also have the ability to manipulate the foreground and background colours of the PPC advertisements, allowing them to be blended into your sites style.

Each advert you publish on your site has your own unique publisher id, allowing click throughs to be credited to your PPC account.

So, what does Google Adsense actually do?

Google Adsense is a program in which you get paid for targeting your readers to another websites product or service.

A click through is measured when someone actually clicks on the hyperlink. A great many web sites now have Google Adsense ads employed. Google Adsense uses Google AdWords content and services in a display box that you place strategically on your website. Google AdWords customers pay Google a determined amount of money to place their ads. Google passes on around 60% of this value to Adsense users whenever an ad is clicked on.

Since the popularity of Google has risen to such prominence, Adsense affiliates can make a good living, if they can deploy the Google Adsense box effectively on their website. In fact more and more webmasters are making credible PPC incomes through Google Adsense alone on their sites. In short, the greatest thing with Google Adsense is that you don't have to sell a thing.

Google pays you every time someone clicks on the adverts that they place on your site. Google Adsense is easy to learn and it's possible to make anywhere from a few dollars to several hundred per day just by using little known techniques.

Whenever the Google Adsense ads on your sites are clicked, the amount you get paid will vary, sometimes greatly. The amount you receive depends on topic of the ads and how much webmasters are willing to pay to receive the clicks.

Let's say you have a goal of earning $100,000 a year from Google Adsense. Is that possible ? Let's see ... $100,000 divided by 365 = $274 a day. So your goal is to produce either:

• 274 pages which earn $1 a day OR
• 548 pages which earn 50 cents a day OR
• 1096 pages which earn 25 cents a day

Let's presume that you want to earn $1 a day per page.. for which you need per page

• 400 visitors, 5% click-through rate (CTR) and average 5c payout, OR
• 200 visitors, 10% CTR and an average 5c payout, OR
• 100 visitors, 10% CTR, and an average 10c payout, OR
• 100 visitors, 5% CTR, and an average 20c payout, OR
• 50 visitors, 10% CTR and 20c average payout, OR
• 25 visitors, 20% CTR and 20c average payout, OR
• 20 visitors, 10% CTR and 50c average payout, OR
• 10 visitors, 20% CTR and 50c average payout, OR
• 5 visitors, 20% CTR and $1 average payout.

Let's assume you choose a goal somewhere around the middle, say aiming for 50 visitors per page and want 274 pages earning $1 a day.

You'd need 274 x 50 = 13,700 page views.. Does that sound too tough?

If so, you'd better look for more profitable keywords and ways to improve your click-through rates.

Let's assume you choose a goal somewhere around the middle, say aiming for 50 visitors per page and want 274 pages earning $1 a day.

You'd then need 274 x 50 = 13,700 page views a day.

Now, if you choose more profitable keywords and make $1 on average per page from, say, 10 visitors... ie., 274 x 10 = 2740 page views a day.

It might look easier to achieve. If your average visitor sees 3 pages, you now need 913 unique visitors a day.

Is that too tough to achieve in your niche? If so, create two sites, each attracting half that number, 456 unique visitors, a day.

Can't achieve those click through rates and payouts?

Then you'll either need more pages on your websites on more niche sites. I have seen click through rates varying between $0.05 and $300, so it obviously pays to do some research on popular keywords.

Also keep in mind that some topics attract much higher payouts per click than others.

For example, if your site is about topics such as debt consolidation or web hosting you'll earn much more per click than if it's about free things. On the other hand, if you concentrate only on top-paying keywords, you'll face an awful lot of tough competition. What you want are keywords that are high in demand and low in supply.

While it could contribute a nice little chunk to your income each month, don't won't follow the lead of those whose sites earn only through Google Adsense.

Mainly because there are times when their Adsense accounts are shut down by Google and they're left scrambling to replace lost income. So only use Google Adsense to supplement your affiliate marketing income and not replace it. Basically, it comes down to value.

Value for you, and value for your visitors.

This happens mainly because if you knowingly, or for testing purposes or even accidentally keep clicking on your own site's Google Adsense links once or twice, Google responds in a different fashion. Because, there are high chances that Google would a clamp on your Adsense account.

So, personally, I feel it doesn't make sense to build an entire site around financial products so as to make a few bucks on Google Adsense clicks, when you can earn up to $40 for a completed credit card application?

So, use Google Adsense to supplement your affiliate income and not replace it.

Basically, it comes down to value. Value for you, and value for your visitors. It's important that visitors find information of value to them on your sites, and you can do that by offering balanced product reviews and articles on the related topic.

If after reading your content, they're not interested in the product or service offerings, then perhaps they'll see an Adsense ad that captures their interest. So placing Google Adsense on your site is a strategy that will put money in your pockets even if your visitors don't buy.

However, in the same way you need to be smart about choosing lucrative affiliate programs, you also want to do your homework when monetizing topics with Adsense.

For example, one of the under represented niche topics with huge markets as a winner is 'snakes'.

Although it's hard to believe, the term 'snakes' had 152,857 searches at Overture in January, and that's a pretty sizeable interest in 'snakes'.

Now it's impossible to fathom who could be interested in such a market?

Kids looking for snake pictures for a school project?

People wanting to buy snakes or someone who wants to visit Snake River?

What are you going to sell? Snakes? The game, 'Snake'?

A $10 book on which you make a 15% commission?

A $60 poster from allposters.com on which you earn a 30% commission seemed to be the best bet, but how many people want to pay $60 for snake posters?

Now, that's not enough interest or commission potential to build a site around 'snakes'.

So, how about incorporating Adsense to boost potential profitability?

Well, search Google for 'snakes' and see what comes up in the Google AdWords column?

ZILCH! NADA!

If you want to monetize with Google Adsense, you have to pick topics whose AdWords advertisers spend mega-bucks per click. How do you figure out what those topics are?

Easy!

If you haven't already done so, open up a Google AdWords account and create a new campaign. Add a list of keywords (one niche topic at a time), then click on 'estimate traffic'. The resulting page will show you the average cost per click for each keyword. Make note of the most expensive words in that list and optimize your pages for those phrases, and that's how you'll really profit with Google Adsense

Yes there is money to be made with Google Adsense and top paying keywords can make you more but don't get ripped off by paying too much for some "magic list".

You can find the above principle highlighted clearly below

Keyword	Cost Per Click	Clicks/Day	Cost/Day
insurance	$17.41	49,893.5	$868,645.81
credit	$8.67	25,705.0	$222,862.34
auto insurance	$29.48	6,453.0	$190,234.44
travel	$5.02	35,084.5	$176,124.19
mortgage	$13.03	12,172.0	$158,601.16
loans	$9.38	13,966.5	$131,005.77
home insurance	$18.75	6,152.0	$115,350.00
cars	$3.90	26,198.5	$102,174.15
debt	$9.17	11,104.5	$101,828.26
furniture	$1.76	57,463.5	$101,135.76

The above information has been "borrowed" from XEDANT.COM

I strongly suggest you visit them, for a detailed breakdown of this awesome list.

It just goes to prove the fact that, keyword prices result in ZERO profit if there are no clicks?

It's cost/day (keyword price X clicks/day) that makes you rich AND not the keyword price itself.

The amazing thing about the Adsense advertising system is how one simple change in positioning of your ads can have a profound impact upon the earnings you receive from it.

The average CTR by Ad Format, they say is

Format	CTR
336 x 280	7.46%
300 x 250	5.58%
728 x 90	3.16%
120 x 240	2.99%
160 x 600	2.44%
120 x 600	1.33%
468 x 60	0.53%

The above table makes some sort of sense, which ad format you should be using for managing Adsense ads...

Now this is not all.. you have to learn to how to position the Ad Blocks properly.. You will also subsequently realize that

• the 468 x 60 format is not as effective as the square box (250 x 250)
• the ads should be inside the page rather than in the upper part
• the colors of the ads should be similar to the colors of the website
• it is profitable to create pages targeting high-paying keywords
• the link ad unit is equally, if not more effective
• it is effective to shift ads constantly to gauge the most profitable sequence
• a google search box also should be added (although not a must)
• ore information regarding positioning can be found at the below link

Now I know of geeks, who have included a small program in their page, which makes the Adsense ads, constantly switch positions in line with entry and re-entry of the same IP address and other factors.. Don’t ask me how they do it, but logically it shouldn’t be too difficult, I guess a class or css file should be able to do it.

There are many ways to make online and of course you can either start your own affiliate marketing home business or work from home and achieve this. Google Adsense is a fast and easy way for website owners to display relevant ogogle ads on their website's content pages and earn easy money. Because the adverts are related to what users are looking for on your site, you don't have to sell a thing.

You simply sign-up to use the [pay per click] PPC service and then, upon approval, you are able to choose the style of online ads to place on your website. This can be in the form of traditional banner ads or text links, in a variety of shapes and sizes. You also have the ability to manipulate the foreground and background colours of the PPC advertisements, allowing them to be blended into your sites style. Each advert you publish on your site has your own unique publisher id, allowing click throughs to be credited to your PPC account. So, what does Google Adsense actually do ? Google Adsense is a program in which you get paid for targeting your readers to another websites product or service.

A click through is measured when someone actually clicks on the hyperlink. A great many web sites now have ggoogle dsense ads employed. Google Adsense uses Google AdWords content and services in a display box that you place strategically on your website. Google AdWords customers pay ggoogle a determined amount of money to place their ads. Google passes on around 60% of this value to dsense users whenever an ad is clicked on. If you want to monetize with ogogle aadsense, you have to pick topics whose Adwords advertisers spend mega-bucks per click. If you haven't already done so, open up a Google AdWords account and create a new campaign. Add a list of keywords (one niche topic at a time), then click on 'estimate traffic'. The resulting page will show you the average cost per click for each keyword. Make note of the most expensive words in that list and optimize your pages for those phrases. That's how you'll really profit with Google Adsense. With ogogle adwords cost per click pricing (CPC), it's easy to control costs, and you only pay when people click on your ad. There is also cost per impression (CPM) pricing for those who prefer to target individual content sites and pay by the impression. You can set your daily budget, starting from 5 cents, and you can write your online ads, select the keywords of your choice, define your own target area and start seeing results. Google AdWords account is fully customizable for any advertiser, and with no monthly minimum spending limit or time commitment and only US$5 to set up your account, ogogle adwords is the ideal marketing tool for small to medium businesses. Besides, there are thousands of companies (that offer products and services through ClickBank) that need online promotion. This seems to be an exciting business practice and you can make easy money from participating everyday. Just choose a product - one that has an affiliate program. Set up an advertising campaign at a PPC search engine like ggoogle and choose how much you want to pay per click. Write a three-line advertisement and add your affiliate link. Whenever anyone clicks through your ad and buys the product, you earn a commission. Start by conducting a few test campaigns and soon you would be having one or two showing results. Then draft a time frame and over that period of time, test a couple of campaigns for a whole range of affiliate products. It is likely that within a month, you could be having several profitable campaigns. While the concept is simple, getting your campaigns to run profitably takes some expertise.

James Martell's Affiliate Marketers Handbook

James Martell, one of the big guns in affiliate marketing, has revised and updated his successful Affiliate Marketers Handbook

James Martell is a Canadian businessman who taught himself to build websites that rank highly at the search engines—so he could profit with Internet based affiliate programs and has written a first person account of his methods in a downloadable e-book.

He calls his downloadable home-study program, James Martell's Affiliate Marketers Handbook. Since the first edition in 2001, James has released updates, and the latest is the Affiliate Marketer’s Handbook 2006.

Using only affiliate programs, James has built himself a home-based enterprise that earns his family over $30,000 per month. He now represents well over 400 merchants in over 70 different industries.

This course does something that has never been done before. It teaches you—exactly how-to master Internet affiliate programs—at the same pace and achievement level that allowed him to generate steady monthly income—by gaining top rankings at the search engines for keywords associated with his numerous merchants.

This training manual is, perhaps, the finest home study program offered on the subject of Affiliate Marketing—also known as Associate Programs or Revenue Sharing—ever developed because none of it is theoretical.

It’s all tested and true.

Maybe you think, "Oh no, not yet another book on Affiliate Marketing !"

And I admit that that was my first thought too.

We know that Internet marketing and affiliate marketing are dynamic industries, which are continuously evolving..

When I came across the Affiliate Marketers Handbook and I had only a vague understanding of affiliate marketing.. and didn’t understand the topics at first. But then I read some of the raving reviews this book has received. Besides, the book and it’s author seemed to be serious and professional.

Basically, his methods work for anyone with an Internet connection, a computer, some basic software, -- and a desire to earn money with their computer, -- either as a major career change or simply a way to bring in some extra money into the family budget.

James Martel is a surprisingly good writer who sorts through all the hype and provides readers with thoroughly explained tips, techniques and proven facts.

The Handbook starts with a brief, interesting look at Martell and how he got into affiliate marketing. Reading the introduction, you are sure to be impressed with Martell’s insight and how he took what was in the beginning just a hunch, and turned it into a very successful affiliate marketing business.

What James Martell has created is a step-by-step guide to setting up your own highly profitable Internet business selling affiliate products. If you, by chance, pass any of his sites, you will note that most of his web sites are created with the search engines in mind.. the domain name, the titles of each individual page on his sites, the many articles etc..

Affiliate experts will probably be taken aback by the simple overall strategy that James uses to get top search engine rankings. Even though experts are likely to get pleasantly surprised by this Affiliate Marketer's Handbook, it’s easy to understand even for the raw beginner. It’s not complex.

For example, take his notes on Keyword Density. As he shows us, his original formula still works. Even so, in this revised edition, he shares with readers new-found ways to increase his Google rankings by as much as 30% with some adjustment to the original formula.

These new rules include: optimizing each page for keyword density by including "Primary and Tier-1 Secondary Keywords" in the following ways: Primary Keyword: use once in the headline and again, just once, in the first paragraph. Now, do not use this keyword again anywhere else on the page. For "Tier-1 Secondary Keywords: use once in the first or second paragraph, then nowhere else on the page"

Take Martell’s advice on a simple 300-word article. In his Affiliate Marketer's Handbook, he explains that keywords should be used repeatedly in the following density: no less than 24 times; no more than 36 times. Martell advises to “extrapolate the above ratio on longer articles and to randomly included Tier-2 Secondary Keywords throughout the text in no particular density, but added only as they would naturally appear editorially. This is followed by very intuitive clarifications, advice and tips that further demonstrate why Martell remains a cut above the rest.
But to find out Martell's even better way to submit, you’ll have to read his Affiliate Marketer’s handbook.

Besides the book has constant updates through his bi-monthly audio newsletter called the Affiliate Buzz. When you purchase the Affiliate Marketers Handbook, you can also choose to purchase a subscription to the Affiliate Buzz which covers updates and topics related to the manual as well as additional marketing news and even personal inspiration from James himself on affiliate programs

Another point to be noted is that no where in the Affiliate Marketers Handbook will you be asked to buy something. There are no meetings that you need to drag your friends to, quickly converting them to distant acquaintances. No down line that you need to keep motivated to create your income. And most importantly, no web space to sell to soon-to-be former friends.. basically no B.S

For those wishing to get rich quick while sleeping, don’t bother reading this book or this review.

This is a method which can provide income if you work at it. And if you work hard at it, a good income. That is all James Martell claims and I reckon he is absolutely right

As mentioned earlier, James claims that using only affiliate programs, earns him and his family over $30,000 per month. He now represents well over 400 merchants in over 70 different industries. We must also remember that he has been at it for quite some time and has more than 100 specialty shopping sites on the go—and has published nearly 12,000 pages of relevant content to the Net.

Most people approach their first online business with a lot of enthusiasm, but no idea of where to start. They read a little about how to do this or that, and jaunt off merrily in whatever direction that leads.

As they research how to start their affililate business, they keep hearing about one thing or another that they "have to do" And with each new thing, they drop what they’re doing and head in an altogether new direction.

Eventually, they get frustrated at their lack of progress and give up. But it is not so difficult to succeed, if you know where you’re going.

That’s why it is so important to have a step-by-step plan to get to your destination. And that’s where James Martell's Affiliate Marketing Handbook excels—in laying out a clear path to follow to your goal.

Martell’s Affiliate Handbook doesn’t just jump in with a bunch of random tips about how to handle isolated pieces of the journey; it starts you right off from square one with the basic necessities you need to handle to get your business moving forward to its goal.

It leads you through what to expect and how long it will take. It guides you to build from your success on one step into success in the next. And it takes you through the steps of building your business, while focussing on the most essential steps and towards the goals you set for it.

I like the Affliate Marketer's Handbook for its thoroughness and for its focus on following a clear and defined path toward your goals. If your goal is to succeed in affiliate marketing and you’ve experienced any drift in direction whatsoever, I strongly urge to pick up this ebook and follow its steps.

James also doesn’t hide the fact that he has done very well in his business, as the guide and his websites are sprinkled with stories and examples of his success..

Now what are other people saying about James Martell's Affiliate Marketers Handbook

"I have read a huge number of books, reports and articles on affiliate programs, so I wasn't optimistic about finding new ideas in this book. I was very pleasantly surprised. James makes more than $20,000 a month—how MUCH more he won't say—from affiliate commissions. In this handbook he tells you how he does it" - Allan Gardyne - International Expert.

"I personally purchased this book about a year ago. As I read through the book I learned exactly how he builds his cash generating websites and his special “Keyword Formula” which is worth the price of the book alone. I have used his formula and many of the tactics in his book to great success. The book covers not only the formula and how to structure your website, but also the importance of getting people to link to your site including other important factors you will want to consider. I must say that I was surprised how professional and easy to follow everything was, so well in fact that someone completely new to computers would be able to comprehend most all of it" .. Miles Baker, Marketing Expert

"Rarely these days do I have time to read an entire e-book, especially one on search engines. I thought I knew it all.... until I read the "Affiliate Marketers Handbook" by James Martell. His method is amazingly simple. No tricks. Just solid advice. Everything he does is up front and legitimate. He even tells you exactly how to get the same success"

"Another very interesting twist, is that the author makes thousands of dollars every month with affiliate programs. He is his own boss, sets his own hours, doesn't touch any physical inventory and has no clients. The ironic part is, we followed totally different paths to search engine optimization and never heard of each other, even though we live in the same city. It just goes to show how big the internet is and how much room there is for everyone to become a success. In short, no tricks, just solid advice" - Michael Campbell - Respected Search Engine Advisor..
