Invalid clicks: Q&A with Shuman Ghosemajumder

In light of the recent proposed invalid click settlement, our friends at Inside AdWords interviewed Shuman Ghosemajumder, Business Product Manager for Trust & Safety, to answer some of the most important questions. We thought you would also be interested in reading the Q&A -- so make sure to check out this post from Inside AdWords.

The Seven Worst Adsense Mistakes You Can Make

The Seven Worst Adsense Mistakes You Can Make

7. Not Enough Content Per Page - It looks like if there's not enough content per page, Google has a hard time justifying giving you lots of Adsense ads (or, in some cases, any Adsense ads). As an experiment, I made two posts on the same subject - with the same words, and I just reordered the words in the sentences and repeated them. The first post simply read -

Official UpHook Blog: Website Revenue For Extra Income

void main()

I would like to jump right into the content of this article-- some of the best tools around for getting the most out of Google's Adsense campaign. First, we'll start off with the tools in order of personal preference from less useful to most useful (since there is really no good way to compare a tool-- its all in how you use it anyway).


----------------------
#10
Contextual Ads Preview/Comparison Tool

This tool is helpful in comparing AdSense ads to those of other advertisement vendors (Chitika, Yahoo). You also have the ability to customize the colors and view what ads a certain URL would be likely to display. It's a pretty solid tool when planning what type of advertisements you want to put on your page (especially if you are trying to decide which vendor to sign up with).

----------------------
#9
Blacklist

The Blacklist basically gives you a list of AdWord publishers that have very low payouts. It is a fact that ad space is valuable-- I would rather fill my ad space with 3 publishers offering $0.50 per click than 3 publishers offering 1 or 2 cents. By providing a list of provider domains to avoid, you can filter your ads and have a greater chance of having high-paying publisher ads displayed on your site. According its website, Blacklist works by:

"...providing you with list of most commonly filtered websites whose webmasters use AdWords to attract visitors for low price click so they can convert it to high price click on their own MFA (Made for AdSense) site(s). In order to STOP these type of actions going on your sites, all you need to do is to paste our specially generated list to your AdSense Setup -> Competitive Ad Filter list. Your revenue should substantially increase."

Nuff said.

----------------------
#8
AdSense Calculator

This is one of my favorite tools-- it allows you to quickly calculate how much you can make given daily impressions, CTR, and CPC. Although it’s certainly easy to calculate the values yourself, this is a resource you can use to quickly get that info. It computes daily, monthly, and yearly data for both clicks and earnings.

From their website:

"It also serves as a tool that will allow Google AdSense users to take their current statistics and get an idea of how much they can expect to see daily, monthly and yearly. As well as those who are considering implementing AdSense on their site what results they are likely to see."

For those out there who like to speculate ("hmmm, if I had 3000 impressions and a CTR of 2% and average CPC of 30 cents, what could I make...?") this is THE tool for you-- quick, simple, and easy to use.

----------------------

#7
AdSense Sandbox

"This is a handy little utility if you would like to see what sort of Google AdSense ads are based on content or keywords. "

This tool lets you see LOTS of ads that Adsense may be displaying on a site. Why is this good? Simply put, you can look at ads that show up for your competitor's site. And why is THAT good? You can use it to help out your own ad campaign.

For example, I know Plenty of Fish (the free dating site with the ugly site design) makes a TON of money from ads. Since my site, UpHook, is in the same general category, I can look at what ads are showing up for them and see if those same sites show up on mine. If not, then I know I'm not really competing against them; and I also know that their ads are probably worth more per-click than my ads. In addition, this also gives me a list of what websites I may be competing against. And keeping an eye on one's competition is a smart move.

----------------------
#6
Adsense Preview Tool (explorer)

This tool is very similar to the Sandbox. The difference is that you can generate a preview of what ads may be displayed on a page much easier. Rather than visiting a website, you can bring up a pop-up window full of ad samples by right clicking and selecting the preview tool from the pop-up window.

The upside: It's easy to access and gives good information (see Tool #7)

The downside: It's for Internet Explorer

----------------------
#5
Adsense Notifier (firefox)

This is an invaluable too for OC people who check adsense stats every 5 minutes. Checking adsense habitually is a painful process—its like watching grass grow. But this handy little extension makes it less of a headache. The Notifier can sit in the bottom of your browser window and displays whatever stats you want-- total clicks, daily earnings, impressions, CTR, etc. Wondering if you made any more money yet? You can find out with a quick glance. It’s highly configurable and can save you bunch of time.

----------------------
#4
Competitive Ads Filter

Now we're getting to the heavy hitters. This tool is actually part of the Adsense setup manager, so you have to already have an AdSense account to use it. You can use the ad filter to block specific ads from appearing on your pages. Simply give the filter a list of URLs and they are effectively prevented from displaying on your site/blog. This can be useful for a few reasons:

1- You can prevent competition form advertising on your site. This could directly benefit from you by helping to ensure that people stay on your site and not jump on the first ad offering the same thing your site does. Due to the targeted-advertisement nature of AdSense, if you have a service site there is a good chance that your competition will have ads showing up on your site all the time. For example, all the ads that show up on my site (free personals, etc) are for other sites offering dating and personals and matchmaking, etc. For some people this is bad-- but for others it can be a good thing.

2- You can prevent irrelevant ads from being displayed. I mentioned this in a previous blog post-- there are some cases where you want to get rid of ads that don't really correlate well with your site content. Remember, AdSense is just a software system-- it tries to determine what ads to serve up based on some site content. There is a chance that it can guess wrong. And when that happens, you can use the filter to help correct things. Have a site about dogs being cooler than cats but AdSense shows a bunch of ads about pro-cat books? Just chug the bogus cat sites into the filter and you'll be all set.

3- You can block publishers that have low-paying ads. This is helpful in making sure you get the best value for your space. Using the Blacklist tool to get a list of low-paying publishers and plugging their domains into your competitive ads filter can quite possibly earn you more money in the long run.

These are all good uses for the filter, however, there is a drawback to using this tool-- if you are trying to filter entire groups of content by using the filter, you will only see temporary results. As more sites pop up, you will likely have to keep updating the filter. This is why this tool is best suited for blocking sites that are in direct competition with yours.

----------------------
#3
Word Tracker

I know some people who swear by this tool. Although you have to sign up to get unlimited access to the service, the trial will probably give provide enough useful information for you to enhance your AdSense experience. Word Tracker pretty much tells you how often people search for a specific keyword. It can also estimate how many competing sites use those keywords. This is probably the best tool to use before deciding what content to include on your page. If there are a lot of competitors, it may be better to target one of the less-searched-for words. Chances are, you will be able to get indexed higher in a search engine for those terms as opposed to going head-to-head with the competition for the popular words.

Obviously, this can drive traffic to your site. Users are more likely to visit matches that show up within the first 2 or 3 pages of a Google search than they are to visit matches on page 87. Why not opt for being indexed in the first 1-50 matches? Sure, you will get less searches overall, but you will be much more visible.

According to their website:

"Wordtracker helps website owners and search engine marketers identify keywords and phrases that are relevant to their or their client's business and most likely to be used as queries by search engine visitors."

This tool is can be used for things other than AdSense. However, it just so happens that popular search keywords are also popular AdSense keywords. Go figure.

----------------------
#2
Overture Bidding Tool

This tool gives you both suggested keywords AND sample bid amounts given a target word. Although Overture is NOT the same as AdSense, the keywords are almost the same as those suggested when signing up for an AdSense account. In addition, I've found that the bids listed are pretty darn close to those offered by AdWords publishers. Using this tool, it would be trivial to build a list of high-paying keywords that you would want to make sure you use in your content.

If you ensure that mostly high-paying ads are displayed on your site, you will be getting the most out of your ad space. Think about it-- a user isn’t going to know how much each ad is worth before they click it. They are likely to click on almost any ad that appeals to them. Why not make sure that those ads will pay the most money? Using the Overture bidding tool to get other suggested keywords is also useful-- however, be careful not to saturate your page content with a bunch of keywords. This can make your site/blog look tacky. A few here and there should be enough for the AdSense spider to throw up high-paying ads. Combined with the Blacklist, this is an excellent tool to use as an alternative to the AdWords Bidding Tool.

----------------------
#1
AdWords Bidding Tool/Traffic Estimator

This is probably the most useful tool out there. The only drawback is that you must have an AdWords account to get access to the information. I would suggest getting AdWords anyway, since it gives you a good idea of what publishers go through and what options they have when creating ads.

This bidding tool is THE resource for figuring out what keywords result in the highest paying AdSense ads. It's quite possible that all those pages and blogs that list the Top X-number of highest paying AdSense keywords use the bidding information found through AdWords or Overture. As a site/blog owner, its important to know what words you might want to emphasize in your content.

The traffic estimator will take a set of keywords and tell you the estimated average CPC based on current publisher bidding statistics. Knowing that the estimated CPC of my keywords can pull ads paying between $3 and $8 on average, I know that I am in a very good position to make money from my AdSense advertising. Although these CPCs are average values, and I'm sure Google will only show those ads on very well-performing sites, it at least lets me know what I have to look forward to when I start bringing in a larger amount of traffic.

----------------------
Honorable Mentions:

The Heat Maps

Not really a tool. But for those people who don't know, this can increase your earnings substantially-- especially if you have ads in all the wrong places.


AdsenseAccelerator

I don't really know much about this site, other than some people apparently bought the tool and use it to easily find the best keywords. I'm not big on buying stuff, so I wouldn't really use it. But if anybody is interested in trying (or has already tried) it and doesn't mind paying a few bucks, feel free to let me know if its worth the money. I’ve heard good things about it.


----------------------

Getting the most out of AdSense hinges upon your ability to optimize. Using these tools can certainly help out. If you have (or plan to have) AdSense on your site/blog then I think its a very good idea to look at some of the tools out there and try to ensure that you are utilizing your ad space in a smart way.

Discover 5 SimpleTricks on How to Jumpstart Google Adsense Earnings

Have you heard the reports about guys who pull down thousands of dollars a month with Google AdSense? Have you heard the stories about 10% click through rates and $1-$5 earnings per click? Have you ever wished you could figure out how they do it and start making real profits with AdSense? If so, prepare for a great ride, because I'm going to show you how it's done...



Google Adsense is a powerful online advertising program that involves a massive network of literally millions of websites. The program was first designed to run only text-based ads in a variety of sizes, but has now expanded into image-based ads as well. The text ads have been so successful because they are usually highly relevant to the subject matter of the site upon which they are displayed.



Google's Adsense is also one of the most powerful weapons in website publisher's arsenal. It enables you to monetize your sites easily and if used properly can generate a very healthy income. However, if you're not using it properly and maximizing the income you squeeze from it, your leaving money on the table – something we all hate doing.



In order to maximize your AdSense earnings, you need five things: 1) the right ad format and placement, 2) the most valuable keywords to target, 3) lots and lots of targetted content, 4) relevancy of your websites, 5) better statistical tracking that Google will EVER give you.

Right Ads Format



The first order of business to make the most money with AdSense is to get your Click Through Rate (CTR) up. It doesn't matter how much traffic you have or how high your Earnings Per Click (EPC) is if people aren't clicking on the ads!



In order to maximize your AdSense click through rates (CTR), there are five rules you must do:



1. Use the one ad format which outperforms the rest by far. Use the 250 x 250 rectangle format.



2. Put your ads in the best location on the page (and it's not where most AdSense publishers are putting their ads).



3. Use the right color combinations that will keep your visitors from ignoring the ads because of "banner blindness".



4. Make the background color of the ad the same as the background color of your site, or as close to it as possible.



5. Make the ads borderless by setting the border color to be the same as the background color of the ad.



Keywords



The words you choose to use on your AdSense pages are incredibly important!



They are important because AdWords advertisers bid on very specific keywords for their advertisements, and some of those keywords have much higher bid values than others. If your subject matter is generally the same, but those specific keywords are not on your page, you'll get the lower paying ads showing up in your AdSense blocks.



Content



Writing content rich, keyword targetted articles is important, and I encourage you to do this daily. But to get started on the road to AdSense , you need a boost to get you going: a boost of THOUSANDS of articles ready for you to place your AdSense code on them and upload to your website!



Content-rich articles can be freely used on any website as long as the "About the Author" information is kept in the articles. All these articles need is for your site header and footer to be added and your AdSense code to be slaped on them. They are a fantastic way to get those paying clicks going.

Relevancy



The relevancy of your Adsense ads is probably the most crucial factor of all. If you have a website that provides information about local landscaping companies, it will do little good to place ads on your site selling light bulbs. In fact, there's a good chance that ads for light bulbs on such a site would not elicit any click-troughs, failing to provide the website owner with ad revenue. This situation plays out all the time on website displaying Google Adsense ads. On most sites with common themes, or at least themes related to something someone is trying to sell, the ads will be quite relevant. This is one of the most amazing features of the Adsense program – its ability to tell what your site is about (by analyzing keywords on your site), and displaying ads that relate to that subject.



Tracking



You need to TEST, TEST, TEST your adsense.



You've got to keep track of the results all of your marketing endeavors brings you, and focus on those which are giving you the best Return On Investment (ROI).



Even if you don't spend a dime on marketing your AdSense website, you still need to track your efforts with ranking in the search engines, your efforts in link trading, your efforts with content building, etc. Those efforts are your investment, and you need to know which ones are paying off and which ones are wasting your time.



Adsense has some excellent tracking statistics that allow you to track your results across a number of sites on a site by site, page by page, or just about any other basis you choose. This is a very powerful tool and you should use it to find out which ads are performing best for you and fine tune your Adsense and Adlink ads accordingly.

 

Google Adsense Scams (Important)

Be careful!!!!



Adsense has become very popular lately, people even refer to it as the new "internet gold mine". And yes, it is true that Adsense is unique and a very interesting way to earn money on the internet with one or more websites. Sadly, as with anything else new and popular, there are always an increasing number of scam artists that are monetising on peoples urge to learn. Together with the popularity of Google Adsense, a whole new breed of scam artists have been born - The Adsense Scammers.



The Adsense Scammers usually use some very intriguing ad copy (marketing text) on their websites, and tries to lure new customers in with screenshots claiming big Adsense income or big increases in Adsense income from a certain date and forward. The truth about most of these screenshots are sadly, that anyone can do such a screenshot - and then alter it in any graphics program like Adobe Photoshop. The image then reflects a very "coloured" truth, and this is possible due to the changes Google has made in its policies to allow publishers to disclose their earnings, but on the same time not to allow publishers to reveal impressions, clicks and ctr.



So what kind of products should you be careful about purchasing ?



The Adsense scam products can actually be categorised into the following:



1. "The BIG Adsense Secret" E-book.



Adsense Scam claim: Several websites claims to have the "unrevealed Adsense secret" that you simply can't live without! Usually it is claimed that these secrets will "skyrocket" your Adsense earnings virtually overnight. You can buy yourself access to this "untold information" for only $30-$100.



Adsense Fact: There are no secrets to reveal about Adsense. Anyone can earn with Adsense, and to improve performance read up on ad placement, ad colours, website content and website traffic. All this information is freely available here on Adsenseguide, and can also be found on various forums on the internet.



2. "Million Dollar Keyword Lists".



Adsense Scam claim: When you purchase a list of "fresh top paying keywords" you can literally skyrocket your Adsense earnings, simply by changing a few words on your pages. These scam sites claims that they have developed new techniques to finding these keywords, and that their members/customers are making a "killing" creating pages based on these keywords. It is not unusual to meet claims of people making $10-$20 per click using these lists. The Adsense Scam Keyword lists can be yours either on a monthly subscription from $20 per month, or for purchase for anything from $20-$200 per list.



Adsense Fact: Yes, you can improve your earnings per click by changing/optimizing your page content. However, the obscene claims of clicks that pays $10-$20 or more are nothing more then "clever" marketing in 95% of the cases. The reason is that Google (and the advertisers), are very selective about which sites that are allowed to display these high paying keywords. Usually, advertiser select to only show these ads on Google's search result screen, meaning that they never get displayed on publisher websites. The so called "new techniques" used to generate these keyword lists, are freely available to anyone interested, and only requires a bit of work on your part. You can download a 100% Free list of keywords here, and if you want to further examine keywords simply do the following:



Signup with Google Adwords, and then use the keyword sandbox tool to find a lot related keywords to your initial keyword idea. Then simply copy/paste the results into the traffic estimator tool at Adwords, and you will get an idea of the value of the given keyword.



It is crucial to understand that there are many factors that are at work determining keyword value and the actual payout. First off, Google will take its share of the click price (educated guesses is in the range of 30-40%). Then we have the earlier ad placement factor, advertisers might only want to pay high for ads displayed on Google's own sites, meaning that they will never reach your site. And then if the ad does get to your page, your visitors needs to click on the exact ad. The last factor I will discuss here is Country/location. Advertisers can choose to only display their ads based on specific regions/countries/languages. What this means is that they can choose to display their ads on websites that are hosted in i.e. Spain, with Spanish content, and are only interested in visitors from let's say Spain. So if one of these ads, does get served on your site for some reason, there are many factors that will drive the click price down.



Often the same keyword lists are sold on many domains, always claiming to be fresh and "unshared". So be careful not ending up buying the same lists more than once ;-)



3. "Automated Adsense Software".



Adsense Scam claim: This is one of my "favourite" Adsense Scams! Visitors are encouraged to purchase some "set and forget software" that will generate Adsense income on "auto pilot". Most of the software does nothing more then steal (yes, I said steal) content from sites through various scraping methods (reads a webpage and gets the content from it, or through rss feeds). All you will have to do is upload the script to your website, enter a few details and the script creates thousand of content pages - just waiting to put cash in your pocket. Each of these "unique Adsense cash scripts", can be yours for somewhere between $100-$1000+.



Adsense Fact: Scripts can be good to help you in the process of writing content (note: Writing). This is usually called CMS scripts (content management systems), and is a great way to create your design once, and from then on only focus on writing content for your pages in a simple web based text editor.



The "Automated Adsense Software" is basically nothing more then a very basic CMS system, but instead of you doing the content the script is configured to grab it from all over the internet. These scripts use many more or less sneaky methods of doing this, but the end result is the same - they are cluttering the search engines with duplicate and useless content. If you decide to use any of these scripts, you should be very careful for several reasons that are not so obvious to most people :



* You risk getting banned from Adsense, because you are very likely to violate the terms of "creating websites purely for Adsense".

* You risk getting blacklisted from the search engines, because you are using "scraped" content.

* You are likely to "turn on the warnings lights" at the search engines, because you have a new site with 1000's of content pages from day 1.

* Don't count on any visitors returning to your site (actually you need return visitors to perform well with Adsense), because they only find useless duplicate content.

* You often have little or no control of SEO optimizing the outputted pages.

* You are likely to getting yourself a "bad reputation". Your name is a "big asset" on the internet.

* You have no idea of what the script is doing, it could be driving traffic to other sites, stealing e-mails etc.



4. "Read/Listen - Learn to how I made thousands with Adsense".



Adsense Scam claim: Oh boy, this is another great Adsense scam category. By simply reading a short report or even a long e-book about Adsense, you will have an "arsenal of Adsense secrets" ready to bring in the big bucks. The first chapters are usually filled with general Adsense information, then followed by the "life story" of the author or a friend of the author. Then we arrive at the "juicy" part (usually only 1 chapter), that again and again describes how to position your ads, what colours to use, ad blending and perhaps you will even find a way to "Skyrocket Adsense CTR". Often these reports and e-books tells you to purchase this and that software, so that you have anything you need ready at hand. These Adsense reports and Adsense e-books are sold from anywhere between $9.95 and up to over $100. Lately it seems that these reports and e-books have "evolved" a bit, so that you now can simply listen to the author or even view a few "power packed videos" online.



Adsense Fact: The first thing that comes to mind with all these products are "Damn - this guy must be a nutcase!". He or she has found the "one and only Adsense secret" and is making a killing (see the usual attached screenshot). If they had really found the "big secret", why on earth would they share it with anyone else? Sure they claim to be a nice person, want to share information etc. The real fact is however, that 95% of these products are nothing less then created to scam innocent people like you to pay. Flashy e-book covers, income statements / examples - usually both Adsense screenshots/checks, affiliate checks, bank statements are all displayed with the only purpose of talking to your greed. It is not unlikely to find testimonials or statements from people worldwide like "John/Canada , Lisa / New York" etc. Adsense statements and testimonials like these are part of the sales page psychology - to make you think "wow! Lisa is from New York like me, and had never done it before - if she can then so can I!".



Often these products are "backed" by a 100% refund policy if you make no money using their Adsense tips and tricks. Great huh? Well, actually they can refuse to give you a refund at any time, because if you use Adsense - how will you prove that even a small increase isn't based on the information they "provided"?



Help me to identify the Adsense scams (and you could even save some money in the process). On this page I will try to disclose as many of these scams as possible, so that innocent people (like you) won't be lured into spending your hard earned money.



Adsense Tricks - Did you know you can have 7 ads per page?

Hot off the presses from the Inside AdSense blog (the official Google blog from their AdSense team.)

On each page of your site AdSense is now able to support up to:

3 ad units

2 AdSense for Search boxes

1 Link unit

1 Referral button per product (i.e., 1 AdSense referral button and 1 Firefox plus Google Toolbar referral button).

So if you are building a site monetized by AdSense you might be able to make a little extra money by putting in a couple of the new formats of AdSense ads. I’ve been playing around with them and have found some (like the linkbar) to be pretty darn useful!

Chitika Eminimalls Vs Google Adsense

The main differences between these two major affiliate programs.



Adsense has been around for a few years now but Chitika is only a few months old.



User Base: Having been around for a long time, Adsense is the grandfather of contextual advertising

and has the largest base of publishers competing for the ads it serves. Chitika has only a few publishers

so far but is likely to grow fast especially as it has a referral program paying 10% commissions.





Appearance: Adsense ads are primarily text ads that fit into about 10 standard sizes from 728x90 to

120x600, 468x60 and others. There are a limited number of image ads created by advertisers and pre-approved

by Google. When an image ad runs it tends to fill the whole ad block. Chitika ads come in the same standard

sizes but every single ad space is filled with a hybrid of text and image but, crucially, promoting just one

product from one advertiser. Further, one consistent feature across the Chitika ads is the interactivity.

Each ad has a selection of tabs which change the content of the ad block when a visitor hovers over them.

The tabs provide information like "Best Deals" where prices for that product are compared across different sources,

"Reviews", and even a "Search" box that allows your visitors to search for and get results for similar products

without them having to leave your page.





Terms of Service: Adsense has a fairly restrictive set of terms that you have to agree to. They've been

modified numerous times and when fine tuned are made more rather than less restrictive. Among the things

publishers are not allowed to do are to change the Adsense code, specify keywords that ads should be targeted to,

and have more than three blocks of ads on a page. None of those apply to the Chitika program. There are other

Adsense specific rules that don't apply to Chitika.





Features: Adsense has added several features over the last 2-3 years. They include channels - a way of

identifying which pages are better earners. It's not perfect and isn't anywhere near as efficient as a click

tracker program but it's more than what Chitika have; though they are planning a channels feature soon. Adsense

also provides better stats data (and analysis), AdLinks and other minor improvements. Chitika, on the other hand,

has some interesting features we've never seen in Adsense. They include targeting a particular product or

advertiser in an ad block so it always shows the same product/advertiser, rotating keywords per refresh or by the

day of the week, changing the font and colour of the text in the ad (Adsense offers only colour change, not font

and font size), enabling and disabling contextual serving of ads, enabling and disabling the search function within

ads, and a lot more.





Contextual serving:Adsense serves ads based on the context of the page. Chitika does the same but has the

option of turning context off. Webmasters can choose to either run it in contextual mode or specify the

keywords/products they want the ads targeted to. Note: When running Chitika on the same page as Adsense ads

you need to turn the Chitika contextual engine off to stay within Adsense terms and conditions.





Referral program: Adsense has a new referral program that pays you $100 if you refer someone who signs

up as a publisher provided that referral earns $100. Chitika pays a flat 10% of what your referral earns and pays

that for a period of twelve months from the date of signup.





Earnings: Which pays more? It depends. Chitika can pay very well but it takes a slightly different mindset

to what you may have become accustomed to with Adsense. If you have the patience to learn about it Chitika could

prove very profitable particularly if you combine it with Adsense.
