Adsense for Mobiles.

Google has now developed ad software for mobile phones. It will start selling ads on websites or blogs that are designed for mobile devices. Website and blog owners will now be able to have Google ads that are fit to be viewed when accessed from a mobile device.
But in order to use AdSense for mobile, you should have a mobile-compliant webpage. By adding AdSense for mobile ad code to a standard webpage will not display ads at all.
You can create mobile-compliant webpage by rewriting your existing website in a mobile markup language, such as XHTML, WML, or CHTML. The most important thing is that you should take care of the layout. It must be properly formatted to display on mobile phones.
Develop your mobile website using server-side scripting such as PHP or ASP. You can then paste the PHP code snippet into the section of the page where you want the AdSense for mobile ads to appear.
At any point of time Google will not be able to assist you with creating a mobile website. However, you may find resources and tutorials on the web that could help you in creating a mobile site. Do a Google search for terms such as "create mobile website" or "make mobile webpage". You will definitely get many tutorials.

Once you've created a mobile webpage that complies with Google’s program policies, you're able to add Google ads to it!

To use adsense mobile, log-in to AdSense and switch to AdSense Setup > AdSense for Mobile.
Once you’ve chosen your ad format (single or double, text-link only at the moment) and colors, and specify your document format – “wml (WAP 1.x)”, “xhtml (WAP 2.0)”, or “chtml” – you will be provided with a code snippet to insert into your pages.

15 Common Mistakes that Violate Google Adsense TOS

Google Adsense program is a popular web advertising program which provides a good income source for many websites. There are well defined terms of service to strictly adhere to when participating in the program.

On my visit through sites and forums, I daily notice several instances of misuse of Adsense ads. So here a few helpful Google Adsense tips, probably many you already know, and few you might gain by knowing now. These adsense faq are all picked from the Program Policies, Terms and Conditions and FAQ itself and presented in a simplified manner.

1. Never click your own adsense ads or get them clicked for whatever reason. You know this one very well. This is a surefire way to close you Adsense account. Never tell your office associates or friends to click on them. Keep a check if your family or children are busy increasing your income by clicking your ads and indirectly trying to stop your income. Dont even think of offering incentives for clicks, using automated clicking tools, or other deceptive software. Adsense is very smart to detect fraudulent clicks. Check the ads which appear on your pages by the Google Preview tool if required.

2. Never change the Adsense code. There are enough means of adsense optimization & customizations available to change the colour, background or border to suit your needs. Do whatever you want to do outside the code, never fiddle within the ad or the search code. They know it when you do. The search code has more limitations to colour and placement, but you should adhere to the rules. The code may stop working and violates the TOS.

3. Do not place more than 3 ad units and 3 ad links or 2 adsense search boxes on any web page. Anyway, ads will not appear in those units even if you place more ad units. But this is the limit they set, so it is better to stick to it.

4. Do not run competitive contextual text ad or search services on the same site which offer Google Adsense competition in their field. Never try to create link structures resembling the adsense ads. Never use other competitive search tools on the same pages which have Adsense powered Google search. They do allow affiliate or limited-text links. Update: Google has allowed you to run contextual advertising like Yahoo ads, Chitika etc provided the ads do not resemble Adsense ads.

5. Do not disclose confidential information about your account like the CTR, CPM and income derived via individual ad units or any other confidential information they may reveal to you. However, you may reveal the total money you make as per recent updates to the TOS.

6. Label headings as “sponsored links” or “advertisements” only. Other labels are not allowed. I have seen many sites label ads with other titles. Dont make your site a target in a few seconds gaze.

7. Never launch a New Page for clicked ads by default. Adsense ads should open on the same page. You may be using a base target tag to open all links in a new window or frame by default. Correct it now as they do not want new pages opening from clicked ads.

8. One Account suffices for Multiple websites. You do not need to create 5 accounts for 5 different websites. One account will do. If you live in the fear that if one account is closed down for violation of TOS, believe me they will close all accounts when they find out. You can keep track of clicks by using channels with real time statistics. They will automatically detect the new site and display relevant ads.

9. Place ads only on Content Pages. Advertisers pay only for content based ads. Content drives relevant ads. Although you might manage some clicks from error, login, registration, “thank you” or welcome pages, parking pages or pop ups, it will get you out of the program.

10. Do not mask ad elements. Alteration of colours and border is a facility to blend or contrast ads as per your site requirements. I have seen many sites where the url part is of the same colour as the background. While blending the ad with your site is a good idea, hiding relevant components of the ads is not allowed. Also do not block the visibility of ads by overlapping images, pop ups, tables etc.

11. Do not send your ads by email. Html formatted emails look good and allow placement of these javascript ads. But it is not allowed as per TOS. You do not want impressions registering on their logs from any email even once. They are watching!

12. Keep track of your content. So Adsense is not allowed on several non content pages. But it is also not allowed on several content pages too. Do not add it on web pages with MP3, Video, News Groups, and Image Results. Also exclude any pornographic, hate-related, violent, or illegal content.

13. Do not alter the results after ad clicks or searches - Ensure you are not in any way altering the site which the user reaches to after clicking the ads. Do not frame, minimize, remove, redirect or otherwise inhibit the full and complete display of any Advertiser Page or Search Results Page after the user clicks on any Ad or Search results.

14. Avoid excessive advertising and keyword stuffing - Although the definition of ‘excessive’ is a gray area and is subject to discretion, yet Google adsense with correct placement, focused content and high traffic will get you much more income than other programs, so excessive advertising is not required. Keyword stuffing does target better focused ads, but overdoing it is not required.

15. Ensure you Language is Supported - Adsense supports “Chinese (simplified), Japanese, Danish, Korean, Dutch, Norwegian, English, Polish, Finnish, Portuguese, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Hungarian, Swedish, Italian and Turkish”. In addition, AdSense for search is available in Czech, Slovak, and Traditional Chinese. If your web pages language is not supported, do not use the code on such pages.

Update:
16. Maximum 2 referral button per product per page - With the launch of the google adsense referral program, you are allowed to put only 2 referral buttons for adsense referral, adwords referral, Google pack and Firefox with google toolbar referral.

17. Do not specify Google ads as your alternate ads. - Several services like Chitika eminimalls allow you to place alternate urls, when a targeted paying ad cannot be displayed. This involved creating an simple html page and putting the ad to be displayed instead. Even Adsense allows an alternate url feature instead of displaying public service ads. But never use Adsense ads as alternate urls.

18. Do not confuse with adjacent images - It was a common policy to increase CTR by placing same number of images as the number of text ads, which falsely gave the impression that the text ads represented an explanation to these images. Inserting a small space or a line between the images and ads is not allowed. Make sure that the ads and images are not arranged in a way that could easily mislead or confuse your visitors. More.

Whenever in doubt, it is better to ask for adsense help from the learned staff of Google Adsense. They are very helpful!

Blog and Website, Which One is Better for Making Money Online?

The main difference between blog and website is blog has content update frequently and the latest blog post will appear on the top. Each blog post created in blogs generally welcome comment from readers. So which one is better in generating online income for you? Unfortunately I don't think there are any answers to this question. Which one works better for you will depend on your preferences and behavior. You will have to know which one best suits you before putting serious effort, time and money in Internet marketing or you could end up regret making the wrong choice and suffer losses.

Ok, now lets take a look the the pros and cons of website and blog to help you find out which one is right for you.

Website's Pros

1. Most Website seldom have new content added frequently. You don't need to add new content and articles to your website if you don't want to. So it saves your a lot of hard works.
2. You still can get a steady stream of free traffic from search engines even without updating your website often. You wouldn't lose ranking in Google since most of the webmasters don't add fresh content to their sites often too. This apply to most of the niches except some niches that are crowded with blogs in Google.
3. More flexibilities in AdSense and affiliate programs optimization in your website.
4. Generate high AdSense CTR if you optimize your AdSense well.

Website's Cons

1. Take long time to get a lot of traffic and high search engines rankings. Also visitors seldom return to website unless fresh content are added daily.
2. To survive in long-term, you'll got to master some long-term traffic generating strategies such as good SEO to rank high in search engines, effective article marketing and more.

Blog's Pros

1. You can join blogger.com or wordpress.com to create a blog easily at no cost. A better option is to register your own domain name and pay a hosting company to host your blog.
2. Take lesser time to gain a steady stream of traffic by posting new and quality content on your blog daily and using free traffic strategies like social bookmarking, networking in a blog community like mybloglog.com and so on.
3. When you blog start becoming popular, many bloggers will start noticing you. You will find many of them will link back to your quality post and thus gaining a lot of free quality backlinks to your blog. And Probably, your blog will then rank top 10 in Google and getting more traffic. The more traffic you get, the more money you will earn.

Blog's Cons

1. Lower AdSense click-through rate. You need to have massive traffic to earn few hundred dollars of AdSense revenue monthly.
2. Over AdSense and affiliate program optimizations in your blog can annoy your readers and lose traffic.
3. If you want to maintain a steady stream of traffic, you have to keep on writing. Your returned visitors expect to read something on your blog when they come back.

5 Tips to Boost Your Adsense Revenue

Google AdSense program has made it easier for webmasters to make money through a website. Webmasters who run an AdSense campaign will display Google's contextual Ads relevant to the content of their sites and thus encouraging visitors to click the ads and earn money for each ad click.

However you will earn very little AdSense revenue if you don't know how to optimize your AdSense ads on your website. Here are some tips to increase your AdSense earning:

1. Focus on one Adsense ad format. The Large Rectangle (336X280) ad format seems to work better than other ad formats because this format tends to result in higher click through rates (CTR). Another reason is that the ads will look like normal web links that visitors use to click on them. It doesn't matter whether the visitors know that they are clicking AdSense ads or not, as long as there are clicking, you earn AdSense commission.

2. Create a custom palette for your ads. Select a color that matches your website's background. If your site's background is white both, the color of ad border and background should set to be white too. Also the color of the ad title should be similar to coloe of the links in your website. This is to make your AdSense ads look like it is part of the web pages. Again, this will boost AdSense CTR.

3. Don't place your AdSense ads at the bottom of your webpages because it is proven to be less effective. Displaying your AdSense ads at the bottom is like hiding your AdSense and thus leads to low CTR and AdSense revenue. Try to put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between AdSense locations can make when you see your earnings.

4. Try to place your AdSense ads near rich content as visitors main focus usually are your content. There are several ways to insert AdSense ads into your content and one of the ways is place your AdSense just after the end of your content.

5. Try to automate the insertion of your AdSense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your AdSense code in a text file, name it as “AdSense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then use SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.

These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. There are other ways to optimize your AdSense that produce high CTR also. You can learn more tricks by reading in AdSense and webmaster forums.v

Can You Really Make Money Blogging?

This is another common misconception that I hope to sort out today. The common belief is that blogging is an easy way out to making money online. One good example is provided by all the small blogspot blogs with adsense ads that have sprung up recently. These amateur bloggers believe that by writing an article or two and bombarding visitors with ads is the way to make money - but that is far from the truth.

The cold hard truth is that blogging is not an easy way to make money over the internet. I had to learn it the hard way. After reading all those great income reports by "dot com moguls" and the wealth of money making info out there, I was convinced to start my own blog. So I set it up, drop some syndicated articles and fill it with adsense ads. What was the result? My grand total income for the month was, you guessed it, $0.

But that's not to say that you can't make money online by blogging. Yes, you can make money, but only if you stick with it in the long run. It takes patience, trial and error and hard work to make even a dime. You won't see any positive results in the first few months. But by then, most bloggers would drop out dissappointed. Professional bloggers know that a good deal of money can be made by blogging in the long run. You just have to lay the foundation right.

So how do you lay the right foundation? Stay tuned because I'll tell you. There's more to follow.

Protect your Adsense Code

You may not be aware but there is a potential danger to your adsense account. There is a possibility that someone might copy your adsense code onto a website with inappropriate code that may damage your whole adsense account.

This has happened at least to one person atleast who has acknowledged this. There may be more who have not reported it.

This is quite frightening if you think seriously, all your hard work can go down the drain if someone decides to hurt you real bad. But don't worry yourself to death - there is help at hand. Recently adsense added a new feature to Google Adsense Program.

Adsense has a new tab called "Allowed Sites". The two options under this tab are;


Allow any site to show ads for my account
Only allow certain sites to show ads for my account
In the second option you can any domain or sub-domain to your list of approved sites. If anyone tries to paste your code to any site other than the above list, the adsense ads will appear but you will not get any revenue from the clicks or even count impressions. Here I and many other similar thinking bloggers beg to differ from Google Adsense Program. A better option would have been to only show PSA's. Anyway Google has thought this to be right for them and this is how it works for now. So I think everybody should use this feature and protect their adsense account.

How blogs from india make money from online (internet)

I wanted to know how blogs and websites from India monetize themselves.

So I chose bunch of most popular websites/blogs from India which are written in English and also I chose some popular/not so popular non english websites/blogs.

Most popular English websites or blogs:

Without big surprise, most popular english websites and blogs (except rediff) from India are using adsense to monetize their blog or websites and also they get their advertisements directly from advertisers. In some websites I see advertisements from CPX-Interactive, but not in primary advertisement slots.

So from above, one can understand that adsense is the best performer though a blog or websites traffic is based on India.

Most popular non-english websites or blogs:

I took one famous website from each of the following languages Tamil, Telugu, Bengali and Malayalam.

These websites fill their primary advertisement slots with direct advertisers and the secondary slots goes mainly to adsense.

Not so popular non-english websites or blogs:

Blogs which are written in some of the regional Indian language or in Hindi have hard time in monetizing. Because adsense doesn't really deliver ads to those blogs, though they deliver to some, the PPC is quite low.
