Google Adsense Referrals
Tuesday, November 8th, 2005 Adsense by Paul FlyerLast week Google introduced Google Adense Referrals. Refer a user from your web site to Google Adsense and potentially reap some reward. If the user signs up and begins using Adsense and eventually earns $100, you as the referrer will earn $100 as well (your Adsense account gets credited $100 actually)! I am not going to say that you could earn big bucks with this affiliate program. However, consider it an opportunity, do with it as you will.
Adsense Chat
Friday, November 4th, 2005 Adsense by Paul FlyerAdsense Chat is a forum where users discuss their use of Adsense. It is a good place to learn about the basics of Adsense. The best feature is to post your own site in the ‘Critique” section. Other pairs of eyes looking at your site will help you refine your Adsense implementation.
Sound Adsense Help and Advice
Friday, August 19th, 2005 Adsense by Paul FlyerAre you tempted to plunk down some of your good, hard earned cash to purchase the latest “Google Adsense Secrets to Make Millions While Sleeping 12 hour Days And Kiss Your Day Job Goodbye” ebook?
DON’T DO IT!
There. I just saved you some money. Let me point you to some FREE resources that pretty much tell you all you need to know.
One is Google itself. Visit their Adsense help pages. They really are helpful. And Free. There are some particular items that users should be aware of, but I will post those specifics later.
The second resource is over at Graywolf’s Wolf Howl. He has written five articles about adsense. In particular, his Adsense Tips Tricks and Secrets article is the best summary of advice one can find. And it is free.
Alternatives to Adsense
Tuesday, June 21st, 2005 Adsense by Paul FlyerThis article contains a fairly comprehensive list of alternatives to Google Adsense. It is helpful to know the alternatives. Though there are some problems with Adsense, one must considered the upsides and the downsides. The major upside to Adsense is the number of advertisers. The advertiser universe is quite large with Google. This is a big benefit to Adsense users. It enables more specific content matching. Test out the alternative before making the switch. Things to test for:
1) is the alternative producing quality content matching. Does a a site about fishing display ads for viagra?
2) what is the pay rate per click. On smaller ad networks, this rate is quite small. That benefits the advertiser, but will not benefit the publisher.
It is wise to keep abreast of the alternatives. Competition is a good thing.
