Google Adsense Tips To Increase Revenue

People might be aware of the different kinds of online businesses that are popular these days. A person who is interested to earn money online and knows how to surf the internet can surely join one of these businesses.

You might have heard about Google AdSense which is quite popular these days.  People say that AdSense is one of the easiest ways that you can make money online. In this online venture you usually do not have to own a product to start the business. For AdSense, you just need to create a website of your own and attract a lot of traffic to the website.

Creating a website and attracting traffic to it might seem to be quite easy but it might not be so. There are certain techniques which can help you earn profit in this business. If you follow these Google AdSense tips then you can surely be successful in your venture.

First of all you need to think how the visitors of your website will interact with the ads. You might want the visitor to click on your ads. In this case it is important that you display the Adsense ads in a place on your webpage that increases its visibility to your visitors. The ads are usually placed either on the top of the webpage or on the top left.

You must learn how to drive targeted traffic for your website, which in turn would amount to more AdSense clicks and higher revenue. Do not just start driving traffic from any source available. Your Google AdSense account can get terminated if the traffic is not good for the advertisers.

You need to make sure that you choose the right kind of keyword to increase the traffic to your website. Keyword tools can assist you in finding the right keyword to use to drive more visitors to your page. Also, the more the advertiser pays for a keyword, the more the publisher will receive in revenue when a visitor clicks on a link.

Try to have each one of your pages target only one specific keyword. The keyword should also be in the title on your webpage and should be related to your niche. Long tail keywords are also common these days. These keywords are usually three to four word phrases.

The content of the website is another important thing that you need to take care of. The content must provide useful information about the niche. If the content is interesting then the visitors will get attracted to your website. But make sure the content is not full of too much information and boring

Ads can be presented in two formats on your webpage. It can either be text or graphical. To attract traffic for Google AdSense, graphical ads can be better. Text ads may be less obvious to some people who will not see them at all. However, text ads are not forced upon visitors. Those who do see the text ads and read them are more likely to click on them.

Microsoft, Yahoo or Google, who will win the paid search battle in 2010? Recent acquisitions might add $10 billion in revenue to one company’s pocket

Microsoft plus Yahoo vs Google, Microsoft vs Yahoo and other variations of names in the paid search game seem to make all the headlines these days. A week ago, StatCounter Global Stats reported that Microsoft’s new search engine, Bing, has passed the market share of Yahoo’s engine. Since Bing’s launch, both companies have tried to secure their positions in the market, but obviously none of them can overcome Google’s dominance in the search industry, which commands over 70 per cent of the market.

While Microsoft has made a significant effort to compete with Google in the search space, Google is coming up with a new operating system that might put Microsoft behind in another market. Microsoft’s online search revenue is insignificant when compared to its total revenue ($86 million in revenue for online search vs $16 billion total for the last quarter). The operating system has been Microsoft’s cash cow. Now Google is invading the space and the market looks forward to see how Google’s Chrome OS will change the landscape in 2010.

Yahoo seems to be way behind in all business segments and its stock has drastically declined, especially since the deal with Microsoft fell apart and the recent acquisition offer was withdrawn.

After several back and forth dramatic scenes involving Icahn, Microsoft and Yahoo, no deal was made, and Yahoo’s stock kept going down, and now, coupled with the dramatic market crash, it is even more pronounced.

It was obvious that the Microsoft-Yahoo M&A deal could not go through in any case, as it could not win government approval unless Google had achieved near-monopoly leadership in paid search. Therefore, for Yahoo the hope for Microsoft’s acquisition rescue seemed to be naïve.

But!

But the latest move of Yahoo reminds me of an ad campaign of Mini Cooper that, a few years ago, made the brand’s image – a little guy finds his way and gets ahead of giants.

According to rumors that I picked up in Yahoo’s office cafeteria while visiting a friend the other day (truly never eat alone if you want to hear the latest news first), Yahoo seem to have come up with a strategy that is shockingly simple but might look phenomenal in its post-acquisition grandeur.

The content of the rumor is interesting – Yahoo intends to make an amusing defensive acquisition and buy the IdeaMama Ad Network, the ad technology division of a Canadian company with its office in Silicon Valley. At first I was puzzled why Yahoo would need this small funky company, but here is my take on it.

This acquisition can put Yahoo in the leadership position by allowing it to introduce a radically new category of on-line advertising.

Let’s explore it. The success of search companies hinges not so much on relevance of search and quality of search algorithms (yes, Yahoo will always remain behind there); their success at the end of the day depends on advertising revenue. The bottom line is all that matters.

Up-to-date search engines use CPC as the main advertising model. Some include affiliate marketing with CPS, but not everything is that simple there. CPC has no chance to win a considerable portion of advertisers’ budget for a number of reasons; one is that the conversion rate of clicks delivered by content partners along with MROI sometimes is questionable. On the other hand, many publishers won’t advertise with Yahoo or Google for the low compensation that CPC can offer. Research webmasters’ forums and you will see how much negativity AdSense receives; publishers hate it as it is a lousy media monetization option, but there are not many alternatives out there.

The Pay Per Sale model is always preferable to search engines. Google seems to provide affiliate marketing options, but only for selected advertisers. Not everybody can jump on the bandwagon. You have to accumulate a significant amount of clicks first and then demonstrate a high conversion ratio, that, by the way, Google’s algorithm doesn’t calculate very well – there are plenty of holes that prevent stats from displaying real numbers.

But even that is not the main challenge. The problem lies in vertical coverage. This model can serve only ecommerce companies, those that sell goods online. The gate is not wide open for every company – if you sell business services, complex technologies or highly priced consumer products and your sales is mainly made off-line, you are totally out of options – the current processes and technologies don’t support affiliate marketing for such companies, end of the story. But it is a shame.

Even if Internet ad spending grows to over $100 billion worldwide by 2010, it still could be increased significantly if only publishers could tap into the sales commissions that affiliate marketing offers. As an example, if a company’s online marketing budget is $100,000 a year, no marketer can ever get over the hump to spend $200K for CPC instead – no way, but advertisers can easily take a portion of $1M+ sales commission and reallocate to publishers, which now increases publishers’ revenue many fold.

If the rumor proves to be true, the reason why I think Yahoo decided to bite on IdeaMama’s PPD (Pay Per Deal) model and use their ingenious deal tracking process is that it enables Yahoo to chip sales dollars from the growing B2B segment that is not so keen to pass to Yahoo’s CPC their marketing dollars. In simple math, if Yahoo can attract 100,000 small to medium sized service and technology companies that currently spend their dollars on CPC with Google and lead generation programs with other vendors, and if each advertiser pays a 10% commission on sales generated by Yahoo ads with content partners’ participation, Yahoo can add annually $10 billion in revenue to their P&L, assuming that average sales added to advertisers’ balance sheet is as little as $10M annually.

Even if my math is half off, the move with this acquisition is absolute genius as Yahoo will be positioned as the only search engine that offers PPD as an advertising option and will finally have a competitive edge and some identity instead of crawling behind Google.

Yahoo could probably develop the technology in house and launch it, bypassing acquisition, but a lawsuit resulting from infringing on IdeaMama’s patents would probably cost them more than the price of the acquisition itself, plus the hassle of explaining to its shareholders about corporate integrity. From what I heard Yahoo will be paying nothing for this deal, something under $20 million. Taking into consideration that the time factor is critical, bringing people knowledgeable in the PPD model from IdeaMama’s team to integrate the technology into Yahoo’s operation sounds like a smart move.

$10 billion in additional revenue for Yahoo will cost all together less than $30M (buying price plus system integration)? Hah? Someone might not like it. Yes, in the last few years Yahoo have clearly lost mind share and market share to competitors, but as I see it with this exquisite turnaround move Yahoo by definition can become the most important player in search marketing sphere as now the company can tap in into verticals that neither Google, Microsoft or AOL can reach (unless one of them places a higher acquisition bid I guess).

For Yahoo, more relevancy in search results and social media innovations won’t solve the problem of Google’s dominance in paid search advertising. Yahoo was behind and will remain behind even despite its acquisition by Microsoft if it ever happens. But Yahoo’s strategic acquisition of IdeaMama’s ad system will scale Yahoo’s online advertising platform and branch it into a new online advertising category with untapped and uncapped revenue potential. Now it is not social media innovation that everybody is talking about, but innovation in media monetization.

I find all that to be a very interesting development of the search game. I can’t wait to hear more about 2009 M&A activities and especially the M&A deal “Yahoo plus IdeaMama” and all the post-acquisition events. What happens next in the battle between search giants can be simply fascinating; you never know who pulls the next trigger and what it might be.

Ppc And The Revenue Machine

admin    PPC     Machine, Revenue

For some online entrepreneurs the advent of Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is something on par with affiliate revenue programs. This may sound like an odd statement so let me explain.

In affiliate revenue programs a website is developed with the singular purpose of encouraging visitors to make a purchase through your site. The items they can find on your site are actually purchased from a third party website using the affiliate’s website as the portal. However because the customer used the affiliate revenue site to make the purchase the owner of the site receives a commission for the sale.

Many home-based businesses use some form of affiliate revenue program to provide residual income.

The use of PPC advertising in the body of your website has nothing to do with commissions, but it does have to do with payment for accepted advertising.

In this scenario individuals may come to a website because it is filled with knowledge-based content. That content is rich in keywords or phrases. Advertising is automatically chosen for the website based exclusively on content. When a visitor clicks on your website they will find a compliment of PPC advertising that will deal directly with the content you have provided. When those individuals click on the PPC link the site owner receives income based on the price of the ad.

Obviously sites that want to use PPC advertising to facilitate a residual income try to make sure their keywords or phrases are somewhat unique drawing PPC advertising that is worth more per click.

For instance a unique keyword could draw a commission ten times that of a more common keyword or phrase.

In the scenario of a site built specifically to capitalize on PPC advertising content may be the most important commodity you have. In all websites content should be king, but it is especially important in PPC advertising sites because the idea is to provide the site visitor with such a comprehensive means of learning about a specific item, trade or service that they find enormous value in your site.

This customer trust for your content is also of value to the PPC ad placement in that it works to laser focus the advertising to potential customers. In the end you want site visitors to click one or more link when they visit your site. This is how you make money.

With PPC revenue generating sites you are not selling a product. In fact, the site visitor does not even have to purchase a product. What you want the visitor to do is click on any PPC link. Once the link is clicked by a visitor you are credited with a sum of money designed to pay you for the referral.

In the case of affiliate revenue you are seeking to convince visitors to visit the third party supplier and then make a purchase. In PPC sites you are simply seeking to provide highly focused information with PPC advertising to appeal to the very specific needs of the site visitor.

In both cases you could receive residual income that may prove to be beneficial in the improvement of family finances.
