AdSense in feeds
June 6, 2008
Very soon Google AdSense ads will be wedged in feeds. The service is undergoing a trial run and a select group of Feedburner publishers are part of the Beta. Many saw the move coming after Google pouched Feedburner in an acquisition deal worth a $100 million. Although publishers have had the option of monetizing their feeds with advertisements using Feedburner for quite sometime now, the ads are not contextual. All website or blog owners are always keen on optimizing gains from their websites and so this should bode well for all of them.
Alternatives when Adsense Banned
May 12, 2008
The unfortunate aspect of Adsense, is that your account can easily become banned. For example, if someone decides to be vindictive and click the ads multiple times (or even a small group of people). Unlike some of the other programs available on the Internet, Google does not ban the ISPs that are created problems but bans the Adsense account holder. The good news is that there are other alternatives when an Adsense account is banned.
One alternative is to sell ad space on your blog to other advertisers. This enables you to sell targeted ads that match your blog.
Other alternatives is to sign up for free accounts with other advertising programs similar to Google. For example, Bidvertiser blocks the ISPs and not the account holder. They’ll even send you an alert so that you can take action as well.
My Experience with Adsense
April 15, 2008
Personally, I hated adsense. Unless you are a huge site it just is not worth it. And no one really clicks on those ads anyways even if they are on your site…I know that I don’t. Google is a huge corporation that is not very friendly. They are not out to help the little guy in the least bit. They will take space up on your site and maybe in 3 years you will be able to cash in that $100 check because it will take you that long. It is a depressing system that gives you pennies and not even pennies a day.
The thing with Google adsense also is that if a person goes on your site and tries to sabotage it they can just site there and click continuously on your Google ads until Google will actually ban you from their program! Adsense is all hype and no profit for the little guy..that is how I see it at least!

Google Adsense Bans Users
November 13, 2006
If your domain or subdomain has the word google in it, you might want to run and change that. That is if Google has not banned you yet. Some users were surprised to find themselves banned because Google does not allow you to use their name, especially if you have signed up for Adsense. While some are angry at the decision, it was in their clause but then most of us don’t read those.

Affiliate Income
September 14, 2006
Affiliate programs sometimes make you feel that you will be rich the next day if you start pushing their products, but you should know that is not the case. If you decide to start being an affiliate, you have to realize it will be hard work that might pay off and might not.
Starting a blog on the specific product is a great to way to try and get buyers but it won’t always work, espeically if you can’t get traffic to it. Using Google’s Adwords can backfire big time if and when you spend much more on advertising fees than you make back on your commissions.
Creating a specific website on your own, pushing the product is one of the best ways and that is what most people do. However it is really hard now to make money in most affiliate programs because they are extremely saturated.
Type in dental plans in any search engine and you are likely to see lots of people pushing AmeriPlan or Dentalplans.com. It is hard to get a foot in the door, especially if these sites have been up for years and are more loved by the search engines than your new site or blog.
The only way to make money doing this is to try new things and don’t stop the hard work. It’s also best to find a small niche that not many people are selling.
Good Ways To Advertise
July 9, 2006
When it comes to advertising online many are running to Adsense and Yahoo and others like it because of the price. They are available to anyone. What you need to remember though is that big corporations can spend more. Way more like $50 dollars a word. If you did that you would be living on the streets within a week.
A great option that no one seems to take advantage of are Newsletters. Lots of websites send them to people and many have ads, either banners, text or both. Try to find the newsletter that is relevant to your product that will in hopes get more sales and search the website for advertising.
Another great way are websites themselves. Just find a website that would have something in common with your product and find out how much it is to advertise. Sometimes it is best to spend a bit, especially if the site pulls in millions a month.
The Google Traffic Diet
May 27, 2006
Google has dropped new guidelines for it’s search results and once again webmasters are hopping mad. They feel that they will be dropped in the search results and lose income especially from adsense and other affiliate programs.
The point is that if you are not doing the questionable practices that Google forbids why get angry? If Google and any other company online and off didn’t make changes then the bad seeds can worm their way in and do fraud or worse simply because they figured out different ways to pull it off.
Some of the new changes include:
Simple and to the point.
