What exactly is Google Adsense?

Google AdSense is an ad-serving program that places ads that “make sense” – specifically, that make sense based on relevant content, and assumptions about who might be interested in that content.

HOW TO GET APPROVED IN ADSENSE

Google Adsense the higest paying as well as the most trusted publishers account for earning a living for us bloggers but it’s the toughest to achieve this account. Google has some strict policies which need to be taken care of before applying google adsense. We have some basic requirements which should be mandatorily completed before you apply for google adsense.

Applying top paying keywords in your website is quite similar to Search Engine Optimization. However, there are many differences as well. I have done in-depth research on the subject.

How Much Money I Make???

How much do you want to make? How hard do you want to work? And how much time do you want to spend working the Google Adsense program? These are the questions you must ask yourself in order to answer that question. Look at it this way: how many business opportunities come your way where the only requirement is hard work and the time it takes to work hard? Not many. Almost any business venture requires some kind of start-up money. If your total earnings is showing 0.00 after a week, not to worry. Keep reading and learning and working. If however, you’re still showing 0.00 after a month, it may be time to implement some of those optimization tips you’ll find on the Google Adsense Support Site. Play around with the placement of the ads on your site. Consider changing the colors. Look again at the content. Is it interesting?

WHAT NOT TO DO? ? ? WHAT TO DO? ? ? ?

Try not to publish anything about Google adsense or anything against Google as you will never be penalized. Do not use any other advertising account while applying for google adsense. If you are using do remove them before applying. Don’t try and use high paying keywords before using adsense actually as you might give them a hint that you are greedy for earning money online. Building good quality of backlinks in a natural ways shows that you are working and building up natural links....:)

Most people wouldn't know what the adsense people look at to decide whether or not you may be allowed to join adsense. First of all you must have a full launched website, and I recommend many pages if you are to maximize your income. They also forbid any illegal materials on your site, many advertising agencies prohibit that. In all your site also needs to have some traffic. As the evaluation of your site may take days and in those days they check your traffic. Another thing you need to remember is that your content needs a solid theme. Not a high payig theme as many people just put up sites based on high paying keywords they see. You need to remember that you need trafic to get money from adsense. The list google has a an excellent starter for some: https://www.google.com/adsense/policies But don't just stop there. Research in ways to make your site better.

Things To Keep In Mind With Google Adsense

8:16 AM Josna (SEO)

Google Adsense can become your main source of online income if you get things right.

Normal Concerns That You Must Steer Clear of With Google AdSense



It might take a little time and effort to figure out a nice formula for what will generate revenue, but once you get it straight, you will be off and running. The key to possessing a successful experience with AdSense is making sure that you have created content that targets the keywords that will bring the most traffic to you. If you are able to boost your roster of keywords, you should be able to tune in your AdSense campaign to any level you want. On the other hand, there are a few all too typical mistakes that webmasters make when using AdSense and some of these can be taken quite seriously by Google. There are a lot of things that you could do that will result in your account being banned. If you exercise a little caution, you could forego making these mistakes in the first place. This article may examine the mistakes that you have to avoid in order to have success with AdSense.

After you get your lines of income all set up, you could want to pay it forward by sharing this information with somebody else who is just starting out. However, you need to keep certain key information to yourself, Click Through Rate or CTR, the amount of income that is associated with different ads, and Cost Per Impression or CPM, should all remain confidential. Any confidential data that is revealed to you stays with you. However, you’re allowed to reveal the total amount of money you made, as long as you hide everything else. Do not allow any potentially vital information slip away as this is a great way to be punished. 

This next mistake might seem obvious and silly, but several people actually put AdSense ads on their sales pages. The purpose of a sales page is to sell the customer whatever it is that you provide and to convince them that they need to buy from you. If there are more ads listed on this page, customers might be distracted by them and this shall bring your sales down. The appropriate place to provide AdSense ads is on your content pages so that you do not take anything away from your own sales page. Doing both at once won’t get you anywhere.


When you’re creating the content of your site, you need to make sure it’s correctly optimized for the search engines. You should receive terrible results from Google Adsense if you do not optimize the content for potential success. You want to have optimized your page so that it will be located and looked upon favorably by the search engine spiders, and you also have to make sure you have the best ads displayed. You aren’t going to get anywhere by merely creating your own website, putting AdSense on it and sitting back to wait for your money to come in. If you desire to experience good results, you must make sure that all the elements of on-page SEO are in order. Most website owners that make long-term, stable money with AdSense rely on search engine traffic for passive profits; for this reason, SEO is an important factor in your website design and creation.
All in all, if you want to make AdSense a major income source for your website, then you should stay away from the above mistakes. In any relationship, the more upfront with the creation and management of your account and website content you are, the better your partnership with Google will be. There are webmasters who have hundreds of websites in their portfolio bring them thousands of dollars a month. This is not something everyone can accomplish; you want to do things accurately from the beginning to get Google Adsense business to that level.

Ad serving - Overview, History, Targeting and Optimization

6:47 PM Josna (SEO)

Ad serving describes the technology and service that places advertisements on web sites. Ad serving technology companies provide software to web sites and advertisers to serve ads, count them, choose the ads that will make the website or advertiser most money, and monitor progress of different advertising campaigns.

Overview

An ad server is a computer server, specifically a web server, that stores advertisements used in online marketing and delivers them to website visitors.
The content of the webserver is constantly updated so that the website or webpage on which the ads are displayed contains new advertisements -- e.g., banners (static images/animations) or text -- when the site or page is visited or refreshed by a user.
In addition, the ad server also performs various other tasks like counting the number of impressions/clicks for an ad campaign and report generation, which helps in determining the ROI for an advertiser on a particular website.[citation needed]
Ad servers come in two flavors: local ad servers and third-party or remote ad servers. Local ad servers are typically run by a single publisher and serve ads to that publisher's domains, allowing fine-grained creative, formatting, and content control by that publisher. Remote ad servers can serve ads across domains owned by multiple publishers. They deliver the ads from one central source so that advertisers and publishers can track the distribution of their online advertisements, and have one location for controlling the rotation and distribution of their advertisements across the web.


The history of ad serving

The first remote or central ad server was released by FocaLink Media Services and introduced on July 17, 1995[citation needed], for controlling the delivery of online advertising or banner ads. The company was founded by Dave Zinman[1] and Jason Strober, and based in Palo Alto, California. In 1998, the company changed its name to AdKnowledge, and was purchased by CMGI in 1999.
The first local ad server was released by NetGravity in January 1996[2] for delivering online advertising at major publishing sites such as Yahoo and Pathfinder. The company was founded by Tom Shields and John Danner[3], and based in San Mateo, California. In 1998, the company went public on NASDAQ (NETG), and was purchased byDoubleClick in 1999. NetGravity AdServer was then renamed to DART Enterprise. In March 2008 Google acquired DoubleClick. Google has continued to improve and invest in DART Enterprise. DART Enterprise 7.5 shipped on October 25, 2010.[4]
Another remote or central ad server was introduced by David Stein at Burst! Media in January 1996[5] for controlling online advertising or banner ads. The company was founded by Jarvis Coffin, David Stein and Bob Hanna, and based in Katonah, New York. In 2006, the company went public on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market (BRST).

Ad server functionality

The typical common functionality of ad servers includes:
  • Uploading advertisements and rich media.
  • Trafficking ads according to differing business rules.
  • Targeting ads to different users, or content.
  • Tuning and optimization based on results.
  • Reporting impressions, clicks, post-click & post-impression activities, and interaction metrics.
Advanced functionality may include:
  • Frequency capping so users only see messages a limited amount of time. (Advertisers can also limit ads by setting a frequency cap on money-spending)
  • Sequencing ads so users see messages in a specific order (sometimes known as surround sessions).
  • Excluding competition so users do not see competitors' ads directly next to one another. (Usually done by bidding on keywords)
  • Displaying ads so an advertiser can own 100% of the inventory on a page (sometimes known as Roadblocks).
  • Targeting ads to users based on their previous behavior (behavioral marketing or behavioral targeting).
  • Targeting specific IP-addresses i.e. targeting specific individuals or companies

Ad targeting and optimization

One aspect of ad serving technology is automated and semi-automated means of optimizing bid prices, placement, targeting, or other characteristics. Significant methods include:
  • Behavioral Targeting - Using a profile of prior behavior on the part of the viewer to determine which ad to show during a given visit. For example, targeting car ads on a portal to a viewer that was known to have visited the automotive section of a general media site.
  • Contextual Targeting - Inferring the optimum ad placement from information contained on the page where the ad is being served. For example, placing Mountain Bike ads automatically on a page with a mountain biking article.
  • Creative Optimization - Using experimental or predictive methods to explore the optimum creative for a given ad placement and exploiting that determination in further impressions.

Introduction & Overview - What is Google AdSense?

5:46 PM Josna (SEO)

Google AdSense is an ad serving application run by Google Inc. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image, and video advertisements on their websites. These advertisements are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google, and they can generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. Google beta tested a cost-per-action service, but discontinued it in October 2008 in favor of a DoubleClick offering (also owned by Google). In Q1 2011, Google earned US$2.34 billion ($9.36 billion annualized), or 28% of total revenue, through AdSense.
