E-currency Trading - An Alternative to Futures & Forex Trading

2006-11-27T08:30:00.000-08:00

I find it amazing that nearly everyday I receive something online or offline that is the greatest break-through in Trading. You know the stuff. This ‘system´ or that ‘method´ has been thoroughly tested and back-tested in every conceivable fashion and is wildly successful. Some work for a period of time but most do not. The decades old statistical fact still remains, 90+% of Futures Traders will lose all of their trading capital within their first year of trading. Now there is a new and promising alternative.

Enter e-Currency Trading. In simple terms e-currency is Internet Money. E-Currency allows the purchase of Internet goods and services at lightning speed and most importantly with a high level of security. Much higher than credit cards, bank transfer etc. The demand for e-currency should only grow as Internet Commerce grows.

So what does this have to do with trading? There are literally hundreds of different e-currencies. Each is backed by an underlying Currency or a precious metal. The need arises to exchange between these e-currencies or convert an e-currency to hard cash. Much like the Euro is to the European Union. We can profit from the exchanging process and profit from the fluctuation of the underlying currency value.

The same basic strategies apply to e-currency trading as with futures trading. Supply and demand dictates price primarily. You could buy e-currency that has historically performed well (buying the trend) or go the opposite way and buy those that are under-performing, looking for a turn-around. You can even chart them if you like.

Leverage, that double-edged sword that Futures Traders are so familiar with is also present in e-Currency Trading. You can borrow against your portfolio to buy more e-currency. The compounding affect is almost outrageous. Some would argue that you never have to pay back the leverage. I contend that it is paid back if you closed your e-Currency account, because your final balance would be less the amount leveraged. The point here is the leverage in futures trading is often times the demise of a well intended trader versus the leverage afforded an e-currency trader combined with the daily compounding affect creates portfolio growth at a phenomenal rate. It is not uncommon to see portfolio growth of 20 – 40% per month.

Futures Trading and e-Currency Trading have a common downside. The learning curve is huge and can be frustrating and costly. Each has unique terminology, which is impossible to work around until you have a good understanding of the meaning. Thankfully in this world of information, we are able to find resources online and offline that shorten that curve. How much it is shortened is dependent on how much time you want to dedicate.

Industry experts have debated for years the optimum amount one should fund their futures trading account with. The obvious moving target is enough capital to withstand the drawdown periods. Many factors go into this but I´ve seen numbers range anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000 and up. If this is the case then there is little doubt why most futures traders lose as most are willing to fund only the amount required to cover Margin or the Brokers account minimum usually a few thousand dollars. One of the biggest reasons for small business failure is being under capitalized, the same holds true in futures trading.

E-Currency Trading is different in that the experts recommend starting with a few hundred dollars and let the system build your account. Whatever route you choose, only trade with risk capital.

E-Currency Trading certainly has advantages over traditional futures trading and may well be worth your serious consideration.

E-currency Exchange Trading

2006-11-27T08:29:00.000-08:00

If you are reading this article you are probably one of the many people who have spent countless hours searching for unique ways to make money on the internet. Very few people have gone on to succeed and most have failed miserably time and time again.

So how are some people succeeding? The answer is quite simple; they are finding a business that works with their specific strengths and needs. The majority of people today trying to get into the home-based business industry are not salesmen and genius marketers. People fiddle around looking in all the wrong places wasting loads of money on advertising that isn’t working and E-books that promise wealth.

It took me five years to find a business that did not involving selling, building a down-line or that required me to recruit more people. That is when I stumbled across e-currency exchange trading.

So what is it then? E-currency exchange allows users to build a financial portfolio through a complex system of thousands of people exchanging funds from dollars to electronic currency. There are two sides to the trading system, the portfolio side and the console side.

Initially users can create a portfolio that receives 1.5% to 4.0% gains per day on the amount of money in the portfolio. For example, if you put in $1,000 and received gains at a rate of 3.5%, your profits for one day would be $3.50. This money is compounded daily and grows continuously over time. It is not uncommon for people who initially invest $100 to grow their portfolio value to $1000 in 1 month. It is easy to see that over time there is money to be made here.

Once you have been in the e-currency exchange program for 90 days and your portfolio has grown to a value of $5000, you are able to apply for a console. With a console you can now process requests from people that wish to take their money from e-currency and convert it back to the dollar or from the dollar back to e-currency. Console holders receive a percentage of the total amount exchanged as profit. Usually people take that profit and reinvest back into their portfolio.

The only down-side is learning how to navigate through the e-currency network which is extremely difficult without assistance. Most people try it out for a few days, become frustrated and quit because they simply do not know what they are doing. There are plenty of resources available if one just takes the time to look for them.

FOREX 101: Make Money with Currency Trading

2006-11-27T08:28:00.000-08:00

For those unfamiliar with the term, FOREX (FOReign EXchange market), refers to an international exchange market where currencies are bought and sold. The Foreign Exchange Market that we see today began in the 1970's, when free exchange rates and floating currencies were introduced. In such an environment only participants in the market determine the price of one currency against another, based upon supply and demand for that currency.

FOREX is a somewhat unique market for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is one of the few markets in which it can be said with very few qualifications that it is free of external controls and that it cannot be manipulated. It is also the largest liquid financial market, with trade reaching between 1 and 1.5 trillion US dollars a day. With this much money moving this fast, it is clear why a single investor would find it near impossible to significantly affect the price of a major currency. Furthermore, the liquidity of the market means that unlike some rarely traded stock, traders are able to open and close positions within a few seconds as there are always willing buyers and sellers.

Another somewhat unique characteristic of the FOREX money market is the variance of its participants. Investors find a number of reasons for entering the market, some as longer term hedge investors, while others utilize massive credit lines to seek large short term gains. Interestingly, unlike blue-chip stocks, which are usually most attractive only to the long term investor, the combination of rather constant but small daily fluctuations in currency prices, create an environment which attracts investors with a broad range of strategies.

How FOREX Works

Transactions in foreign currencies are not centralized on an exchange, unlike say the NYSE, and thus take place all over the world via telecommunications. Trade is open 24 hours a day from Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon (00:00 GMT on Monday to 10:00 pm GMT on Friday). In almost every time zone around the world, there are dealers who will quote all major currencies. After deciding what currency the investor would like to purchase, he or she does so via one of these dealers (some of which can be found online). It is quite common practice for investors to speculate on currency prices by getting a credit line (which are available to those with capital as small as $500), and vastly increase their potential gains and losses. This is called marginal trading.

Marginal Trading

Marginal trading is simply the term used for trading with borrowed capital. It is appealing because of the fact that in FOREX investments can be made without a real money supply. This allows investors to invest much more money with fewer money transfer costs, and open bigger positions with a much smaller amount of actual capital. Thus, one can conduct relatively large transactions, very quickly and cheaply, with a small amount of initial capital. Marginal trading in an exchange market is quantified in lots. The term "lot" refers to approximately $100,000, an amount which can be obtained by putting up as little as 0.5% or $500.

EXAMPLE: You believe that signals in the market are indicating that the British Pound will go up against the US Dollar. You open 1 lot for buying the Pound with a 1% margin at the price of 1.49889 and wait for the exchange rate to climb. At some point in the future, your predictions come true and you decide to sell. You close the position at 1.5050 and earn 61 pips or about $405. Thus, on an initial capital investment of $1,000, you have made over 40% in profits. (Just as an example of how exchange rates change in the course of a day, an average daily change of the Euro (in Dollars) is about 70 to 100 pips.)

When you decide to close a position, the deposit sum that you originally made is returned to you and a calculation of your profits or losses is done. This profit or loss is then credited to your account.

Investment Strategies: Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis

The two fundamental strategies in investing in FOREX are Technical Analysis or Fundamental Analysis. Most small and medium sized investors in financial markets use Technical Analysis. This technique stems from the assumption that all information about the market and a particular currency's future fluctuations is found in the price chain. That is to say, that all factors which have an effect on the price have already been considered by the market and are thus reflected in the price. Essentially then, what this type of investor does is base his/her investments upon three fundamental suppositions. These are: that the movement of the market considers all factors, that the movement of prices is purposeful and directly tied to these events, and that history repeats itself. Someone utilizing technical analysis looks at the highest and lowest prices of a currency, the prices of opening and closing, and the volume of transactions. This investor does not try to outsmart the market, or even predict major long term trends, but simply looks at what has happened to that currency in the recent past, and predicts that the small fluctuations will generally continue just as they have before.

A Fundamental Analysis is one which analyzes the current situations in the country of the currency, including such things as its economy, its political situation, and other related rumors. By the numbers, a country's economy depends on a number of quantifiable measurements such as its Central Bank's interest rate, the national unemployment level, tax policy and the rate of inflation. An investor can also anticipate that less quantifiable occurrences, such as political unrest or transition will also have an effect on the market. Before basing all predictions on the factors alone, however, it is important to remember that investors must also keep in mind the expectations and anticipations of market participants. For just as in any stock market, the value of a currency is also based in large part on perceptions of and anticipations about that currency, not solely on its reality.

Make Money with Currency Trading on FOREX

FOREX investing is one of the most potentially rewarding types of investments available. While certainly the risk is great, the ability to conduct marginal trading on FOREX means that potential profits are enormous relative to initial capital investments. Another benefit of FOREX is that its size prevents almost all attempts by others to influence the market for their own gain. So that when investing in foreign currency markets one can feel quite confident that the investment he or she is making has the same opportunity for profit as other investors throughout the world. While investing in FOREX short term requires a certain degree of diligence, investors who utilize a technical analysis can feel relatively confident that their own ability to read the daily fluctuations of the currency market are sufficiently adequate to give them the knowledge necessary to make informed investments.

Forex Swing Trading with Elliott Wave

2006-11-27T08:27:00.000-08:00

When evaluating the forex market for swing trade opportunities the focus is placed on predicting directional changes or continuations for a given currency pair. For this we rely on technical analysis.

In technical analysis, just as in fundamental analysis, there are lagging indicators and leading indicators. One of the most reliable tools used to predict forex market swings is Elliott Wave analysis. Elliott Wave analysis can be used to identify trends and countertrends, trend continuation or exhaustion and to evaluate the potential price targets of a trend.

You can apply Elliott Wave analysis to both long and short position swing trade set ups for your currency pairs.

Elliott Wave theory is named after Ralph Nelson Elliott, who concluded that the markets moved in a repetitive pattern of waves. He attributed this action to the mass psychology of the market.

Elliott concluded that the market’s movement was a direct result of the mass psychology of the time and that the stock market is a fractal. A fractal is an object that is similar in shape, but at different scales. A great example of a fractal in nature is a stalk of broccoli. The stalk and the individual branches look exactly the same; just the branches are smaller in scale.

Fractals just happen to form in accordance with Fibonacci ratios. Is this a coincidence?

Elliott attributes this mass psychological move to the human trait of herding. Even though Elliott’s theories were based on stock market price movements, it has been applied to evaluating Presidential approval ratings and fashion trends changes as well.

The conclusion, the market price actions are not the cause of economic growth or slow down, but the reflection of the mass psychology of investors. If the mood of the investing public is upbeat then a bull market ensues. This is counter to what most individual perceive, that because there is a bull market the mood of the investing public is upbeat.

Elliott Wave patterns follow a sequence that the markets move up in a series of 3 waves and down in a series of 2 waves. This 3 wave impulse and 2 wave corrective sequence form the foundation of the 5 Wave impulse pattern (the opposite is true in a downtrend).

The Elliott Wave Counts are as follows;

Wave 1 - Short Covering

Wave 2 - Pullback from Short Covering

Wave 3 - Major Rally Phase

Wave 4 - Institution Pause in the Rally

Wave 5 - Retail Buying

Wave 1 is usually the weakest of the impulse waves. It is a brief rally based on short covering of the bears from a previous move down. When Wave 1 is complete, the currency pair sells off, creating Wave 2.

Wave 2 ends when the market fails to make new lows. You often see dominant reversals patterns form at the end of this wave signaling the being of the rally phase or Wave 3.

Wave 3 is the longest and strongest of the impulse waves. This signals strong currency buying or selling in the direction of the trend. This trend usually starts of slowly, but tends to accelerate as it breaks to new highs above the top of Wave 1.

Like any trend, especially a strong trend a correction will occur. Traders will begin to take profits and the currency pair will retrace. This signals the beginning of Wave 4.

Again the currency pair will rally ushering in the Wave 5 rally. Wave 5 is typically supported by the retail traders and not institutional buyers (the herd) and tends to lack the momentum generated in the Wave 3 rally. This creates divergence that can be easily measured on any technical oscillator. After the currency pair breaks to new highs above the previous Wave 3 high, the rally loses steam and changes trend.

This trend change can result in either a new 5 Wave impulse pattern or a corrective in nature.

Now that we know what the Elliott Wave analysis is, how would a currency trade using this analysis look like, just as an example?

Look to Wave 5 as the most reliably tradable impulse wave. The trade sets up as follows. Look for the Elliott Oscillator to pull back between 90% and 140% of the Wave 3 high on a daily chart. This pullback should correspond to a 38%-62% Fibonacci retracement from the Wave 2 extension. This signal is the strongest when the Fibonacci retracement is between 38% - 50%.

Like any technical analysis tool you never want to employ an indicator as a stand alone analysis tool. A trigger and a confirming indicator are required as well.

Look for a trigger in candle patterns, such as Harami, Tweezers or Harami cross. There are a variety of software packages on the market that perform Elliott Wave counts and have other entry signal indicators as well.

Draw a regression channel on the Wave 4 retracement and look for a break above or below the channel as confirmation to enter the trade.

Place stops at the high of the Wave 1 advance, just below the 38% Fibonacci retracement level or where your individual trading plan dictates. Trail your stops once the currency pair has advanced past the Wave 3 high. Look for reversal candle patterns like doji, hammers, shooting stars or hanging mans for signals that the wave is about to end or stall. A typical price target is 127% retracement of the Wave 4 low.

This is just a glimpse of how Elliott Wave analysis can be deployed to enhance your forex swing trade evaluations. Look more into the Elliott Wave theory and other strategies as tools for increasing your forex swing trade opportunities.

Forex Trading: Calculating Profit and Loss in Foreign Currency Trading

2006-11-27T08:26:00.000-08:00

The foreign exchange market, or Forex market, is an around-the-clock cash market where the currencies of nations are bought and sold. Forex trading is always done in currency pairs. For example, you buy Euros, paying with U.S. Dollars, or you sell Canadian Dollars for Japanese Yen. The value of your Forex investment increases or decreases because of changes in the currency exchange rate or Forex rate. These changes can occur at any time, and often result from economic and political events. Using a hypothetical Forex investment, this article shows you how to calculate profit and loss in Forex trading.

To understand how the exchange rate can affect the value of your Forex investment, you need to learn how to read a Forex quote. Forex quotes are expressed in pairs and usually in five-digit numbers. In the following example, your pair of currencies are the U.S. Dollar (USD) and the Canadian Dollar (CAD). The Forex quote, USD/CAD = 170.50, means that one U.S. Dollar is equal to 170.50 Canadian Dollars. The currency to the left of the "/" (USD in this example) is referred to as base currency and its value is always 1. The currency to the right of the "/" (CAD in this example) is referred to as the counter currency. In this example, one USD can buy 170.50 CAD, because it is the stronger of the two currencies. The U.S. Dollar is regarded as the central currency of the Forex market, and it is always treated as the base currency in any Forex quote where it is one of the pairs.

Let's go now to our hypothetical Forex investment to show how you can profit or come up short in Forex trading. In this example, your pair of currencies are the U.S. Dollar and the Euro. The Forex rate of EUR/USD on August 26, 2003 was 1.0857, which means that one U.S. Dollar was equal to 1.0857 Euros, and was the weaker of the two currencies. If you had bought 1,000 Euros on that date, you would have paid $1,085.70.

One year later, the Forex rate of EUR/USD was 1.2083, which means that the value of the Euro increased in relation to the USD. If you had sold the 1,000 Euros one year later, you would have received $1,208.30, which is $122.60 more than what you had started with one year earlier.

Conversely, if the Forex rate one year later had been EUR/USD = 1.0576, the value of the Euro would have weakened in relation to the U.S. Dollar. If you had sold the 1,000 Euros at this Forex rate, you would have received $1,057.60, which is $28.10 less than what you had started out with one year earlier.

As with stocks and mutual funds, there is risk in Forex trading. The risk results from fluctuations in the currency exchange market. Investments with a low level of risk (for example, long-term government bonds) often have a low return. Investments with a higher level of risk (for example, Forex trading) can have a higher return. To achieve your short-term and long-term financial goals, you need to balance security and risk to the comfort level that works best for you.

Forex Trading - Do You Have It in You

2006-11-27T08:14:00.000-08:00

Forex is short for Foreign Exchange, where money from one country is exchanged for that of another or the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another.

When one deals in forex trading the profit or loss, he incurs is the increased or decreased value of an investment caused solely by currency movements. For example, if an investor thought that the US dollar was weak, he might purchase German Mark. The investor's, the real profit or loss could then be in how the Mark moves against the US$.

Being the largest financial market in the world, the Forex market has a volume of more than $1.5 trillion daily. Also the Forex market, unlike other financial markets, has no permanent location, no central exchange and just happens ‘Over the Counter.’ It operates through an electronic network of large banks, central banks, currency speculators, multinational corporations, governments and other financial markets and institutions. Retail traders are individuals who are a small part of this market. They participate indirectly through brokers or banks.

The foreign exchange market is unique because of its trading volume, the extreme liquidity, the large number and variety of traders in the market, its geographical dispersion, its long trading hours i.e. 24 hours a day and a host of factors that affect exchange rates etc.

Currencies are traded against one another. Each pair of currencies are traditionally noted as XXX/YYY, where YYY is the ISO 4217 international three-letter code of the currency into which the price of one unit of XXX currency is expressed. For example, EUR/USD is the price of the euro expressed in US dollars, as in 1 euro = 1.2045 dollar.

73 % of the forex trading is done by 10 top international banks. These large banks continually provide the market with both “bid or buy” and “ask or sell” prices. The difference between the price at which a bank or broker will sell and the price at which a broker will buy from a wholesale customer is called the “spread”. This spread is very less for actively traded pairs of currencies, usually only 1-3 pips. One pip is the smallest unit of price move used in forex trading. For example, if the currency pair EUR/USD is currently trading at 1.4000 and then the exchange rate changes to 1.4010, the pair did a 10 pips move. The pip is the smallest unit regardless of the fractional representation of the currency exchange rate. Thus, 1.3000 to 1.3010 is the same move in pips terms as 110.00 to 110.10 For example, the bid/ask quote of EUR/USD might be 1.2200/1.2203. Minimum trading size for most deals is usually $1,000,000.

Online Forex Trading & Its Trend Patterns

2006-09-11T07:35:00.000-07:00

Online Forex Trading & Its Trend Patterns

Forex trading is a great option for those who want a great income from home or anywhere else. But in order to be a successful forex trader you need to learn the basics of the currency markets and familiarize yourself with the world of trading. One of the first things you will notice as you start analyzing forex charts is that the currency markets often display's some very familiar patterns of price movements. Once a clear pattern is established, it becomes the most probable course of future price action until the market
changes.

Considering this, it’s important that you identify and understand that there exist two types of markets; these are: trending and trend-less markets. Each market type has pretty clear and specific patterns which you will alsonotice over time.

Trending markets are characterized by steady and elongated price movements with less than a 45 degree angel with occasional pauses, profit taking, or resting periods.

But even in trending markets you can notice the existence of other two important patterns. These are:

- Uptrends - A pattern of higher highs and higher lows.

- Downtrends - A pattern of lower lows and lower highs.

In the case of Trend-less markets, the main characteristic is the erratic price movements which are often steep ( greater than 45 -degree angle ) and that cannot be sustained therefore they must reverse in a short period of time. Although the movements can move many points in a short period of time, they often result in very little net price movement over time.

In Trend-less markets you can also distinguish tow main patterns:

- Choppy - An erratic pattern of higher highs and lower lows.

- Sideways - A narrow pattern of lower highs and higher lows.

While markets with an up-trend and down-trend behavior can offer generally excellent trading results, choppy markets often create stop outs, while sideways markets produce for little in either direction making them hard to trade, hence making it hard to make any significative profit during these trend-less periods.

Recently I learned about these 3 trades that can make you 10-30% profit every month. I’ve tried them and they work. Have great accuracy and the best of all, they make you real money. You can find more info here:

FOREX Trading: Learn The Real Significance Of The Economic News

2006-09-11T07:32:00.000-07:00

FOREX Trading: Learn The Real Significance Of The Economic News

Although FOREX traders are generally aware of the importance of daily economic calendars, in order to be profitable, they must go further and understand the difference between surprise and expected.

In order to grasp these concepts, you have to know that this is a game between the financial authorities and the community of analysts, trying to predict the numbers.

While natural disasters, accidents and political moves cannot be expected and therefore they are always considered as surprise news, the economic calendar is well known by the investment community.

In a highly speculative investment environment like the FOREX market, the most important volatility creator is the economic calendar.

Indicators like GDP (Gross Domestic Product), CPI (Consumer Price Index), PPI (Producer Price Index), Unemployment Rate, Interest Rate, Retail Sales and trade Balance are widely followed and evaluated.

Prior to each report, estimates are published and traders try to position themselves according to what the numbers are expected to be.

These estimates will set the tone and drive the market prior to the publication of each report.

Here comes a rule you have to integrate into your trading, the market discounts every piece of information. Simply stated, the price is the result of all that is known and expected by the investment community.

Even if the report indicates a good economic result, if this has been anticipated through the estimates, the market will not move much, as it already discounted this information early in the process.

However, if the economic announcement does not come in line with the expectations, then we have the so-called surprise reports. The investment community quickly tries to digest and adapt to the new expectations and in doing so, it drives the market in the direction of the surprise news.

Professional FOREX operators avoid having opened positions prior to key economic reports. They prepare trading plans for both, the expected as well as the surprise scenarios and act upon what is published, consequently limiting their risk exposure.

Always remember, only surprise news will move the market. Even if the report shows a strong economic sector, if the actual numbers are in line with the analysts' expectations, the market has already absorbed and discounted the numbers, therefore it will not move much.

Forex Trading Strategies: Intraday Trading The Forex Market - How and Why?

2006-09-11T07:28:00.000-07:00

Forex Trading Strategies: Intraday Trading The Forex Market - How and Why?

The Spot FX market or "forex" used to be limited to banks and long term investors, plus those who had masses of capital money. trading would take place via a guy shouting what what going on on the trading floors or a "voice broker" which has gradually been replaced by automated computerised systems.

It is now actually possible for the retail investor or "home office based trader" to trade real time with the banks through the environment of a broker using computerised trading platforms which may have live desk traders placing trades either in the brokers books (95% of traders lose money so it's in their interests not to trade for real), or for real - for the winners.

A forex trading strategy must usually comprise of two main components - technical analysis and fundamental analysis. The technical side is looking at the charts and using mathematics to reflect the movement of the market and the fundamental side requires knowing about important market-influencing economic news and announcements.

So let's talk about fundamental analysis in your forex trading strategy. Every day, figures are released which are designed to reflect certain economic circumstances of a country. Some of these announcements for example "Non-Farm Payrolls" will almost certainly have an unpredictable affect on the market depending on previous data and implications of the figures released. A hard, fast rule for beginners trading (and veterans) is to stay out of the market during important announcements. You can find out where to get these by taking one of our courses.

Technical analysis will involve the use of indicators on charts to bring out areas of support and resistance areas where the price may either "get stuck" or "stop and reverse" in the opposite direction. One of the most popular (and accurate) methods of calculating support and resistance levels is the use of "Fibonacci". The sequence of numbers discovered by Fibonacci 750 years ago is a proportion found in nature (for example pineapply rind or sunflower seeds) and is commonly learned in high school math. Did you ever get a question "What is the next number in this sequence....1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,X?" That is the fibonacci sequence.

When we put the fibonacci numbers against each other we get a percentage ratio which can be plotted on out chart (you don't need to be a math whiz - most forex charting software does this for you). This will bring out key areas of potential support and resistance for each move on your charts. Using Fibonacci in combination with indicators showing momentum or strength of the current market can give you a strategy to be profitable on a consistent basis because a mathematical rule in forex is "what has happened before will happen again - history repeats itself".

Profit is made in forex trading much like in traditional business - in fact call to mind a haberdashery! You make a profit by buying at a lower price and selling at a higher price. The difference in forex is that it is also just as common sometimes to be able to sell at a higher price and then buy at a lower price. The profit can be made in both direction.

The process is simple. A trade is placed (either a buy or sell or the base currency) which automatically (sells or buys) the opposite currency in the pair. The price will change live every fraction of a second and for example if you bought the GBP/USD you have bought the pound and sold the US dollar. You want the value of the pound to rise and then you will sell your pounds (in other words "close your position") and make a profit on the difference in value. This can be done in seconds, minutes or hours.
The broker takes his cut and you're left with a little less than the actual "distance" the price has moved.

Due to brokers allowing you a leverage of up to 200:1 on your capital, you can control a lot more money than you actually have. Since you are buying one currency and selling the other, not all of your capital is at stake really. Only the proportion which will be lost or gained considering the change in value of the currency pair you are trading together.

For example, you have a forex trading strategy that tells you to buy the Euro against the dollar. The exchange rate is 1.2866 which means 1 EUR = 1.2866 USD

EUR/USD 1.2866

Due to your broker having a "spread" you are offered to buy at 1.2868 or to sell at 1.2864 (in other words the price must change by 2 [analagous] pips or points (significant figures or 4th decimal place) in order to break even. This is usually equivalent to paying a commission and you will not pay a commission depending on your broker.

Your forex trading strategy or system is accurate and you have timed the trade well and continue to watch the exchange rate rise 22 points over the next 15-20 minutes.

You see that the price is now 1.2888 and close your position.

You have made 20 points profit. This was a successful trade.

What do the 20 points mean though in terms of your portfolio?

Good question. With a 100:1 leverage, you have required at least $1000 to place your money in your account will have risen by $200 bcause each "pip or point" has been worth $10 to you. (I have deducted a 2 pip brokers spread or $20).

So, with a capital of about $2000 (you need a $1000 deposit to trade and some surplus equity in case the price goes in the opposite direction to what you wanted at first) you can traded 1 lot at 100:1 for each pip to be worth $10 profit. Since the market moves rapidly - sometimes 30 pips or more in a few minutes during very volatile times, you can make money fast placing accurate trades. The risk associated is that you can also lose money fast. We therefore need risk management plan to complete our forx trading strategy. This at it's most basic level means placing a "stop loss" to have your trade closed automatically if you misplace a trade. You can also have a "take profit" level or a "trailing stop" which you can move to break even or more as your trade becomes more profitable. That way, you have a guaranteed profit even if you "let the trade run".

Forex Trading: The Best Risk Management Strategy For Individual Traders

2006-09-11T07:23:00.000-07:00

Forex Trading: The Best Risk Management Strategy For Individual Traders

trading the forex market is considered one of the riskiest forms of investment. As volatility is the name of the game, and because margins are huge (up to 200x), the only way to protect your trading capital is to employ a coherent Risk Management strategy.

While the trading desks of hedge funds and investment banks have to take into account several portfolio optimization procedures, as an individual operator, trading just one currency pair is often the best approach.

Thanks to strong correlation between different currency pairs, be it positive or negative, it only makes sense to focus both attention and resources on just one pair. Among other important advantages, the trader can become familiar with certain habits of a currency pair, as daily range, best time of day to trade it, or main actors.

As the primary objective of a professional forex operator is the protection of his or her trading capital, and not the profit, each trading decision must be accompanied by a comprehensive plan to protect this capital.

You have to deal with this term, protection, from a trader’s perspective, as opposed to the general understanding. In trading terms, by protecting your capital means offering you as many chances as possible to stay in the game, to live to fight another day, without being forced to close down the business. This means that you are going to lose money, as cost of business, but you have to do it in a way to continue it as long as possible.

The following example is eloquent.

We will consider an initial trading capital of 10,000 USD. As each trade has an intrinsic risk, we will use two levels here, the first at 50% and the second at 1% out of the total trading capital of 10,000 USD. This means that in the first case the operator risks to lose 5,000 USD, while in the second case, his or her risk is limited to 100 USD.

Simply put, you will never lose more than a certain percentage of your trading capital in just one trade. Be aware that even if you trade heavily margined, the percentage must refer to your trading capital and not to the position. If you open a 100,000 USD (10x) with a 10,000 USD capital, then the percentage must be applied to your 10,000 USD.

By using obvious extremes, it is quite easy to comprehend the advantages of a percentage risk management. If you lose half of the capital in just one trade and you keep this way of trading, just one more mistake will put you out of business.

On the other hand, a 1% loss is by no means dangerous for your trading capital. In addition, this gives you time to err, time to learn from your mistakes while you progress on your way of becoming proficient in this business.

The percentage varies from trader to trader, according to their “risk tolerance”. Some trade with 2%, others prefer a more aggressive 5%, but the overwhelming majority NEVER risks more than 10% in just one trade.

Along with a trading plan with specific entry and exit levels, both for profit as well as loss and maximum time in a trade, this percentage rule is a powerful tool for protecting your trading capital.

Forex: Why Psychiatrists Make Better Traders Than Expert Economists

2006-09-11T07:17:00.002-07:00

Forex: Why Psychiatrists Make Better Traders Than Expert Economists

It should be noted that millionaire traders, Elder, Williams and some others are in fact professional psychiatrists. And it is not accidental that not the economists are the leaders and most successful traders, but professional psychiatrists and psychotherapists. Think about it. You will become a successful trader when you understand why it happens with forex. You will understand what your forex mistakes are, and why you are making them. And when you correct these mistakes you will become a trader who has no psychological barriers and obstacles on his way to better earnings in the forex market.

So, why do the psychiatrists make better traders than economists who, as one would think, have the forex market at their finger tips?

The economists are confused by:

- the fact that exchange rates are not always related directly to the economic circumstances in the countries. Well, do you know any economist who would be bidding for low fx rates when the economic situation is getting better and better? Or the one who admits that technical analysis of currency pairs is more important for forex trading than the fundamental one? Any economist is confident that this can never happen because he knows all the economic dogmas. But it happens in the forex. After all, how can a trader lose with the currencies moving up and down by the economic rules? The currency will surely react to the economic changes in the country, but who knows when and how? Here is a tip: there is the Elliott fifth way to teach a lesson to the ones who believe that fundamental knowledge is enough (before the trend turns, the currency spurts absurdly by the old trend), to confuse and draw the newbies into the game, while the experts wait for the trend to turn back.

- the lack of psychological knowledge that helps to understand the behavior of the crowd. And that is self-evident.

Are there any methods to overcome this fear?

It seems that every forex book, every article offers efficient solutions for psychological difficulties experienced by the traders.

IN FACT NEITHER OF THESE BOOKS CONTAINS METHODS TO OVERCOME THE FEAR EXPERIENCED BY A forex TRADER!

But what do these books offer instead?

Almost every book of this kind consists of two unequal parts:

- the bigger part of the book narrates about traders’ problem that interfere with their forex work and make it unsuccessful (nervousness, doubts, worries, fear, sleep deprivation, etc.). As if the traders do not know their own problems.

- the considerably lesser part contains conclusions and recommendations to the traders who are to solve their problems and overcome their fears to become successful.

The conclusions are disappointing:

Many psychiatrists realize that the new field opens before their eyes – now they may treat traders whose number amounts to millions all over the world and is growing with every day. And since most traders have a dream to become as successful as George Soros and other famous traders, this new field promises to be rather lucrative.

One thing is bad though: the overwhelming majority of these new-sprung trader brain specialists do not even know what the forex is all about.

Forex - Choosing the Right Broker

2006-09-11T07:17:00.001-07:00

Forex - Choosing the Right Broker

There are a mind boggling number of Forex brokers available to choose from. Choosing the right broker is the most important decision you can make for your Forex venture. Here is a checklist of what you need to be looking for.

1. Regulation. Just because a broker is available does not mean they are regulated. You may want to check first what country your broker is registered in. Some countries have lax laws regarding Forex brokers. In the US, brokers are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or the National Futures Association. If a broker is regulated, then they must regularly submit financial reports to these organizations. If these reports are not submitted, then they can be fined, or shut down. Any person can view these financial reports (similar to publicly traded companies). This regulation also give the investors avenues to pursue if there are any issues with the broker.

2. Company customer service. Check and see if there are any complaints about the Forex broker with the Better Business Bureau. If there were complaints, see how the company resolved these complaints. Call or email the broker with any questions. You should not feel uncomfortable doing this, as they will be holding your money. The broker should be courteous and respond quickly to any and all questions. Does this particular broker have a lot of discrepancies between the price the trade was requested at and the actual value? This is called 'slippage' and can lead to the loss of funds if it is rampant. Some brokers will compensate you for the slippage, others do not.

3. Trading options. Not all Forex brokers offer the same types of platforms, spreads or leverage. You need to decide which options are the most important to you. Some things to think about regarding options are: Commissions - does the broker take a commission and a spread? Make sure the spread is small enough to compensate for the commission. Spread - what spread is offered? Does the spread vary depending on the time of day, or is it always constant? Margin - is there a maximum amount of leverage allowed by the broker? Scalping - what is the broker's policy on scalping? Some brokers will put your account on manual execution if you scalp. This means that all your transactions have to go through a live person to be executed, which will slow down your trades and possibly keep you from getting some trades. Platform - what type of platform does the broker offer. Is it easy to use and understand? Does the platform perform quickly enough to execute trades instantly?

4. Demo account. Does the broker offer a demo account to practice with? And does the demo platform perform exactly like the live version? A demo account is a great way to test the platforms and see if you like the features the platform offers before actually sending them any funds.

Running a checklist on all the brokers you want to check out should narrow down your options and help you choose the best broker for you!

Common Mistakes In Forex Trading

2006-09-11T07:17:00.000-07:00

Common Mistakes In Forex Trading

When you view the statistics of successful forex trading, it can be pretty depressing. Stats show that only 95% of forex traders are making any money. With so many trading forex, why is this? Here is a look at common mistakes newer (and some seasoned) forex traders make that cause them to lose money.

1. Get Rich Quick mentality. You have probably seen the late night infomercials about how easy and profitable it is to trade forex. Well, it is easy to actually trade, but difficult to trade well. Opening an funding an account can take as little as 24 hours and you can be up and trading. People will open up a broker account, fund it and start trading without knowing what they are doing. A good course of study on the currency pairs and how they tend to work with each other is a must before you start any live trading. You must be educated in forex to trade profitably. You can't just go on gut feeling. forex trading should be done for the long haul. You are going to have those months where you are not in the positive, but a good trader will have more positive months than negative ones

2. trading for the wrong reasons. Yes, there is a high associated with making a huge profit from one trade. However, do not treat forex trading like a day at the race track. You should not trade for the excitement of trading. Not to mention that there is a lot of time to be spent just waiting for the correct trade to come along. Also, don't start forex trading because you think it only requires a few minutes a day to make money. Even if you are scalping the market (making small quick trades), it takes time for those trades to develop and some days are just bad days to be sitting there waiting.

3. Not using a stop loss. This is where emotion comes into play. You should have a clear exit strategy when you enter a trade. Decide how many pips you are looking for and what your loss limit will be. If it is 50 pips, set your stop loss so that you are automatically triggered out of the trade when that many pips are lost. It is too easy for a novice trader to say "Well, it has to start coming back soon, I'll just wait a few more pips" and then end up getting a margin call because they are now down 250 pips waiting for the trade to turn around. Be disciplined and set those stop loss targets. There are always going to be new trades happening.

4. Jumping from strategy to strategy. Strategies take time to develop and time to personalize to your own trading style. That is why a demo account is important to practice. Once you have learned your strategy and how to adapt it to changing conditions - stick with it! New traders will sometimes bounce from one person's strategy to another, without giving any of them a chance to develop. One bad trade does not a bad strategy make.

5. Emotional involvement in your trades. Turning off your emotions is a critical tool in trading forex successfully. Not just the down emotions, but the up emotions as well. Have a strategy to get in and out of trades. Resist the impulse to trade, feeling like you are on a wave of good luck. And conversely - don't keep trading if you are down out of desperation.

Following these tips will help you be part of the 5% of successful traders out there, rather than the majority that do not succeed.

Top 10 Ways to Max Out on adCenter

2006-09-11T05:10:00.000-07:00

Top 10 Ways to Max Out on adCenter

Now that you plan to use Microsoft®’s new advertising platform, adcenter, there are ways to maximize your investment. With pay-per-click, or ppc, advertising, taking shortcuts is easy and tempting, but also costly. Cover these 10 bases, and you will get the most from your adcenter spend.

1. Set a sustainable budget. Effective ppc takes time. Decide how much you can afford over a 12-month period, and stick with it. Start small and ramp up expenditures as you refine your campaign and achieve results.

2. Define your objectives. Some companies find ppc mysterious and think throwing money at it is a good way to test the waters. But there is no mystery to adcenter. Its back end is loaded with robust reporting and analysis tools. To use them, you must first calculate your desired click-through rate, conversion rate and return-on-investment metrics.

3. Profile your customer. A standout feature of adcenter is its ability to target customers by geography, gender and time of day or week. However, these capabilities are useful only if you define the who, where and when of your ideal audience. The clearer your target, the higher your conversions.

4. Select keywords carefully. adcenter offers a sophisticated keyword-selection tool called adLabs. Take advantage of it not only to find the right keywords, but also the best ways to combine them, and the best times to use them.

5. Do the splits. “Split testing” is a solid ppc technique of changing one or two variables (such as a keyword or time of day) in a campaign to see which works better. With adcenter’s ability to target and report, there is no excuse not to do it.

6. Use a landing page. After people click on your ppc ad, where they go next is crucial. Best is to create a specific landing page that fulfills the expectation of the ad and clearly explains the next action.

7. Track results. adcenter updates campaign statistics daily, and even hourly, in some cases. Without monitoring progress, companies tend to overspend, under spend or miss obvious ways to improve results.

8. Identify the weak links … Several things have to fall into place for maximum ppc efficiency. Analyze what is working— and what is not. Low click-throughs often indicate weak keyword choices. Low conversions might suggest a problem with the landing page.

9. … And make adjustments. ppc is all about continuous improvement. Keywords not working? More than likely, further research will uncover better ones. Interviewing a few customers might identify an easy fix to a flawed landing page.

10. Build relationships with adcenter support. Like any new software product, adcenter has its occasional glitches and inconveniences. Get to know the adcenter Client Center so you can keep your campaign rolling.

One reason ppc is so attractive is results can be predicted and then measured. Since adcenter brings a new level of analytics to the ppc arena, it has enormous potential for advertisers. Still, a tool is only as good as the person using it, so follow these tips and be the best you can be!

Top Tips For Affiliates – If Only You Desire Success

2006-09-11T04:54:00.000-07:00

Top Tips For Affiliates – If Only You Desire Success

I am sure that you are reading this stuff because you already know that some people are earning fat checks monthly from affiliate programmes and you probably want to duplicate their success story. However, your case has been different and opposite. affiliate programs have never put enough money in your bank account; rather, all your efforts are being wasted, or perhaps you are even losing money.
But what have you been doing wrong? How can you slide from your current position towards becoming a super affiliate? It is by learning some tricks and secrets being used by these super affiliates which you have been ignoring.

Let me give you some tips which will take you to the top. (You have a bunch on my website)

Tip One.
I will recommend that you pick the best of affiliate programs. This is very easy to do. Go to CLICKBANK and you have more than 10,000 affiliate programs that have been arranged in order of popularity for you. The work can not be easier. Other places to go include, Commission Junction, and Linkshare, among others.

Tip Two

You are in business to maximize profit, I guess. Then go for the highest commission-paying affiliate programmes. There are some companies paying as much as 75 % at CLICKBANK. For every $100 you sell, $75 goes to your pocket! I guess you will prefer this to companies paying 6%!

Tip Three
Ensure the relevance of your web content to the products you are promoting. If the theme of your website is on pets, avoid selling computer accessories on the same website. These are much unrelated items which will reduce your click through rate (CTR) and then your profitability.

Tip Four
Look for hot products that people are willing to buy. Your conversion ration will determine your success or failure. If you sell products that have poor demand, no matter how efficient you promote the products, it will result in a loss. Test the market and make sure the product you are promoting has high demand.

Tip Five
Get necessary software to enhance your profitability. One of these is good cloaking software that will save your affiliate link from being hijacked. Hijackers of affiliate links steal your commission. You must also get good tracking software to track your sales. In addition, you must choose affiliate programs that you know the company has a good tracking system. This is to ensure that all your sales are credited to your account.

Tip Six
Go for a company with good resources for advertising. These resources include the banners, text-links, and e-mail templates. Some companies also provide PPC ads templates. It is not rare today to find companies who will freely cloak your affiliate links for you.

Tip Seven
Be creative. Creativity is the use of sixth sense. Do what others are not doing in the right direction will skyrocket your affiliate commission. Write, buy or get good content for your buyers. With this, they will keep coming back to your website.

Tip Eight
Treat you customers as friends or relations. Develop personal and intimate relationship with your website visitors and those who buy from your website.

Tip Nine
When it is practicable, make use of back end sales strategy as well as multiple offers. This will be possible if you have on your website compatible products. For instance, “those who buy this soap also buy this cream” strategy may be employed if you sell friendly products.

Tip Ten
Know how to market your products or services very well and cheaply too. I have a very good tool for this on my website (how you can place millions of ads free). If you do this right, you make money. If you market wrongly, you will be out of business sooner than you envisaged!

Daytrading for Beginners

2006-08-15T04:42:00.000-07:00

Daytrading for Beginners

You don’t need to know everything about day trading to succeed as a day trader. As the prices go up and down, the day trader must be alert as to when to sell his stock or wait for the moment to hold on it. The bottom line for any day trading technique or system is its practical application in the real world.

The market that has the largest price range should be the best candidate for day-trading. Everything you need to get started in day trading is usually available online. In contrast with other financial markets where you require the full deposit of the amount traded, in the Forex market you require only a margin deposit.

Those who do day trading usually stay glued in front of the computer and monitoring which stocks have a fast turnover. You won't succeed at day trading unless you have a high measure of confidence in yourself. A great trading system looks for low risk opportunities to enter a stock.

You need to master the psychology of day trading. When day trading, set yourself a limit on how much you are prepared to lose on any particular trade. You won't learn day trading in a single day.

Virtually every trader has dabbled with or experimented with some sort of moving average. Day-trading is a very serious business; if you don't have all the right ingredients in place before you begin trading, you're can lose big time. Behind all of the possible financial rewards of day trading lies the potential for financial disaster. Day traders go bankrupt because they lose money, not because they don't make enough money.

Daytrading Company

Daytrading Company

Day trading used to be the preserve of financial firms and professionals and some savvy private investors and speculators, but in recent years has become notoriously common amongst casual traders taking advantage of new facilities offered via the Internet. While day trading is neither illegal nor is it unethical, it can be highly risky. If you are a trend trader, you like to define a trend and then find a way in.

Day trading is a high risk game as it is very speculative in nature. Accessibility to the data is a unique and important tool in your trading arsenal. Day traders are able to capture some of the spread through buying access to Direct-Access Broker systems, rather than by trading through retail brokers.

Day-trading is a job, and your paycheck is determined by your ability. Traders who are in the habit of being tentative or indecisive will never become successful at day trading. You need to master the psychology of day trading.

A novice day trader should normally have day trading capital of at least $20,000 to start, so this is not a business to undertake lightly. Behind all of the possible financial rewards of day trading lies the potential for financial disaster. Be aware that day trading does not offer the protection of an advisor who can tell you whether a particular investment is suitable to your financial goals.

You’ll need to ascertain for yourself whether you are comfortable with the levels of risk inherent in daytrading.. Day traders typically hold stocks anywhere from only a few seconds to several hours but they never keep stocks overnight. For the sophisticated investor day trading may be safe since such investors know what they are doing and are willing to absorb the risk of losing money. In addition to real time quotes, day trading requires a high speed computer connection and a reliable online order execution service.

What You Need To Know About Daytrading

2006-08-15T04:38:00.000-07:00

What You Need To Know About Daytrading

In daytrading the price patterns form very quickly and require a disciplined, automatic response once a trading signal is perceived. Day trading most commonly refers to the practice of buying and selling stocks during the day such that at the end of the day there has been no net change in position. You don’t need to know everything about day trading to succeed as a day trader.

If you have a nose for business, guts and a sharp instinct for how the market shifts, then possibly day trading may be suitable for you. Market professionals agree volatility definitely is a plus for the day-trader. Day trading is extremely risky and can result in substantial financial losses in a very short period of time.

A trade needs to be completely planned in advance. Day-trading takes more finesse than most techniques. To day trade successfully requires good analytical skills, the ability to develop and follow a system, and stamina.

You need to master the psychology of day trading. What is a Pattern Day Trader? This is a day trader who day trades 4 or more times in 5 business days within a single margin account.

As with all trading activities, daytrading carries a great risk.

You can start Day Trading with as little as $750 if you decide to trade using a spreadbetting account rather than a standard broker. Individuals who attempt to day trade without an understanding of market fundamentals often end up losing money.

Daytrading Info

An effective system provides you, the daytrader, with excellent prospects to increase your earnings. To be successful at Day Trading, you must study the market carefully before proceeding with the purchase of stocks. Professional daytrading typically uses indicators such as the MACD, moving averages, and Stochastics.

Most individual investors do not have the wealth, the time, or the temperament to make money and to sustain the devastating losses that day trading can bring. The practice of trading shares on a daily basis for profit is called Day Trading. The day-trader must adjust profit objectives to the shortened time horizon of day trading.

A great trading system looks for low risk opportunities to enter a stock. Day traders are able to capture some of the spread through buying access to Direct-Access Broker systems, rather than by trading through retail brokers. There are a few things to consider to managing a trade successfully.

A day trader may sell a stock if it goes down only two or three cents. Does day-trading offer advantages above and beyond position trading? There are a variety of online day trading services.

Don’t begin your day trading with money that you can not afford to lose. Many day traders end up losing a lot of money because they fail to make trades that meet their own criteria. Day trading strategies demand using the leverage of borrowed money to make profits. Did you know that a successful trader can lose money on 9 out of 10 trades and still make money?

Search engine advertising provides the most economical way for a site to advertise on the World Wide Web.

The cost entailed in PPC search engine advertising is dictated by the clicks made on a particular ad. The number of clicks made on an ad is subtracted from the initial amount paid by the business to a search engine company.

Struggling To Choose An Ecommerce Merchant Account?

By Ian Canaway

If you run an online business and you don’t know what an ecommerce merchant account is you need to read this article. A simply analogy is that an ecommerce merchant account is like the checkout in your local shop. They both process any payment that comes in their direction and both are essential for their relative businesses, as without any means of processing payments an online business is destined for failure thus the importance of finding an ecommerce merchant account.

Having an ecommerce account is absolutely essential it is one of the hidden cogs that turn the wheels of your online business. It is extremely vital if you plan on selling any products or services through your website and will dramatically improve your chances of making a profit as it will allow your visitors to pay through a number of different mechanisms including using credit cards.

You can reap the rewards of having access to an ecommerce account quickly and easily because there are many different services out on the net to choose from. Each has their differing features and associated benefits to take advantage of. Some will suit your needs and some won’t so it is important that you shop around and find one that’s ideal for your requirements.

Obviously there are a number of different factors which you need to take into account when you come to selecting an ecommerce account for your business.

Now we’ll briefly analyse what the most important factors are that you’ll need to take into account when choosing an ecommerce account for your business.

Firstly the fees charged by the ecommerce merchant account; as the prices charged vary widely, some charge monthly fees while others opt for a one off payment. The credibility and reliability are very important factors as your profits will suffer if you choose an unreliable provider. You simple cannot afford to sign up with an ecommerce merchant account provider and then for them to go bust, so you need to look carefully. You also need to look for a provider which can handle and process payments from a wide variety of sources, the more the better. As ideally they need to be able to handle payments via credit card and also allow users to pay through other payment systems such as Paypal.

Thus a reliable, secure and credible ecommerce account is essential for you if you want your online business to be a success, carefully consider what you want and what you need before jumping in and signing up with for an ecommerce account as it will be one of the most important decisions you make in launching your online business.

Building Your Way To Online Success Part 5

Building Your Way To Online Success Part 5

By Scott Lindsay

We’ve spent some quality time with the first two crucial elements to a successful business startup.

Here’s a recap:

Step 1: DECIDE WHAT YOUR BUSINESS IS GOING TO BE

Step 2: CREATE A WEBSITE

With the next step we are actually only degrees of separation from Step 2: CREATE A WEBSITE. However, we will be designating a new step entitled “MARKET YOUR WEBSITE”. This new designation has the subtle distinction of moving your site from form and function to frequently visited through the use of common search engines.

STEP 3 then is: MARKET YOUR WEBSITE

If you’ve got a mental checklist going you’ve probably checked off site design, site content, and ease of use in navigation. The next item on your list is the actual launch of your website and the implementation of a comprehensive marketing campaign.

First, be sure you have determined what your most important keywords or key phrases should be. This information should include some research into what the end user is likely to select when conducting an online search. For repeat reference, keywords are the word or phrases that relate to a particular topic. Keywords or phrases are used to construct a search statement to locate information. In my previous article, I suggested that you need to add as many of these important keywords and key phrases throughout your website’s text as you can.

Before you officially launch your marketing campaign, you need to ensure that your “META TAGS” are properly constructed. A META TAG is a specific kind of HTML tag that contains information not typically displayed to the user. Meta tags are designed to contain information about the page itself, hence the name ("meta" means "about this subject"). Meta tags are a prime source search engines use to best categorize a page. The better the meta tag – the better your information will place in a search engine.

Meta Tags go between the “head” tags in your site’s html.

I suggest using these three major meta tags:

title:

This describes your site. Be sure to use your important keywords and key phrases. Search engines will see the site title first.

META description:

Depending on the search engine, this information will generally be displayed along with the title of your page in an index. "Content" could be a word, sentence or even paragraph used to describe your page. Keep this reasonably concise and to the point. However, don't be so lean with your description that it does not adequately reflect the sites actual content!

META keywords:

Choose keywords or key phrases you deem appropriate then separate them by commas. Remember to include synonyms, Americanisms and so on. For instance, if you had a page dedicated to cars, you might want to include keywords such as car, cars, vehicles, automobiles and other similar keywords.

Each of these meta tags should be added to the html of your site between the “head” tags.

If your business provided customers with golfing equipment, you may add your meta tags as shown below:

Title: Golf equipment – Golf world golf equipment.

Notice I used Golf and golf equipment. These are the main keywords and key phrases I have chosen to target so I make sure they are included.

Once you’ve completed the above step you would use the following tag:

Use the description tag:

"Golf World, the premier site for golf equipment. Golf clubs and more!"

Once again, I used several of my most important keywords and key phrases.

The final step allows you to add your keywords meta tag:

"golf equipment, golf clubs, golf balls, golfing supply, callaway"

You may even want to add specific brand names if applicable.

Once you have these tags complete, be sure to place them between the “head” tags in your html.

If you are using a site builder such as our HighPowerSites builder tags are not required. Simply add your title, description and keywords from your site builder control panel. You will not have to deal with placing them in the site using the language of html. This user-friendly function is an asset for those who have limited to no experience with html.

Please look for Part 6 of Building Your Way to Online Success.

Make Money For Your Ppc Just Do A Search!

By Steve Pavis

If you think this is another boring ppc articles do yourself a favour and spend 5 mins reading this one! First off, let me just say that PPC (pay per click) traffic is one of the most cost effective, targeted, profitable and popular ways to drive traffic to a website. Almost every single internet marketer or small business uses PPC advertising to drive highly targeted leads to their website. So there is no shortage of people waiting to pay for highly targeted traffic...which is good news for you right now.

You will not believe by accident. I came across a new site “big daddy” about 6 months old, a new style of search engine how much do you spend on Google yahoo or 2nd tier pcps. I personally spend a fortune week in week out.

This one pays you to search, yes you read it right, pays you to search and the money you earn goes on your own listings, you advertise just like you do on the rest of the pcp min is 0.05cents a click.

They even pay you $50 upfront to get you started and they already have a rank of 25,000 in alexa after only 6 months. Give it another 2 – 3 months and they will be a force not to be disregard. Also you get a free top position in a iframe.This means your full site is on display at the top of the search page.

Big daddy The company have brain stormed a great concept, you are getting free traffic to your site for just doing normal searching, this is what you would do day in, day out, you get paid anywhere from $1 to $5 per search. New pcp companies start up every week, but remember my name because great ideas only come round now and again.Pay per click at its best and yes the results are just as good as the big boys.

I forgot to explain when you gain a free top position its on a keyword of your choice and you are the only one that will come top for that keyword. So if the keyword is “car” which has around 5 million searches per month ,your web site will be the only one in the top position with your web site displayed pay per click at its best don’t miss the boat I personally love competition it always reduces cost that’s good for everyone. How many genuine PCP concepts and search portals do you come across?

How To Find A Profitable Niche For An Adsense Site

How To Find A Profitable Niche For An Adsense Site

By Kevin Anderson

When the dotcom balloon burst everybody thought that was the end of an era. Many saw the internet as a cash cow and when many sites collapsed, this notion popped. Internet investors went scurrying away hoping to save what was left of what they have invested.

But the internet is not one to be counted out. One great idea alone can turn into huge profits. And even if it’s not as what it was before, many people can still count on earning some extra money from the internet. All it takes is one good idea and a bit of diligence.

Google’s Adsense is such an idea. This is a great ad program that allows many webmasters and site owners to profit from their sites as an advertising partner of Google. Adsense allows sites to have access to Google’s advertisers and direct the certain market or product based on keywords and content to a site that has the same market or niche.

When a visitor of the site clicks on an adsense ad, the webmaster or adsense site owner gets a percentage of what the advertisers pay per each visitor from the linked site. This is what we call pay-per-click advertising. Many sites have caught on and have seen the growth and potential of Adsense, so many in fact that Google has rejected some of those who have tried to apply.

Having your own site doesn’t guarantee a sure spot in having Adsense in your site, or for that matter making it successful. You have to find a niche that can get you the traffic that can guarantee you a market. Finding a niche is not that easy, there are many competitions in the internet market, but to succeed in such endeavor, there are certain steps to go through to at least give you a fighting chance. Follow these easy steps on how to find a profitable niche for an Adsense site.

Decide which niche you can do based about your passions and interests.

If your niche Adsense site is based upon what interests you and is something your are all too willing to undergo, everything would seem easier since you would be enjoying working on your Adsense site as well. Hours would just seem minutes and before you know it, you have your Adsense site.

Spend a few minutes or a couple of hours deciding on the niches you like. List them in order of their priorities to you based on your passion for them. If you can’t think of one there are many sites that can generate many niche website ideas that can help you. They are based on what is popular and rapidly growing in the internet based on their keyword searches in search engines.

Find out about all the other people who may share your passion for the niche you have chosen.

It is important that you find a niche market online that can act as your customers or clients in the future. If you plan on making money for your Adsense site (of course you do!) then you have to make sure that you find people who share your interest on the niche you have chosen.

This is one of the easiest procedures or steps you have to do before making your niche for your Adsense site, research. All you have to do is go to Google and type in the keyword of the niche you have selected and off you go.

Go to sites that have forums that are based upon your niche. Read and join in their discussions, learning more about your target market along the way. These people will become your market in the future. Find out about what they want and need so that you can get many ideas that can help make your site better.

Make sure that the niche you have chosen has a market that is willing to spend money.

Make sure of this point so that you are ensured that your site can make profits. This will also be relatively easy to find out. Check out all the pages that feature the niche you have chosen and see if there are many ads there. You may also check out the search results page of Google after searching the keyword if there are many sides on the ads side. If there are, then you can be pretty sure there is a market out there willing to spend some money.

Get your site running.

Armed with your research on what your niche market wants, get a product that can be sold to your market. Find sub niches that can also provide other needs. These sub niches should fall into the main niche category. Find good keywords for your site so that you can generate traffic. With good traffic you can see the people just rushing in toy our site and clicking on the Adsense on your page. The more traffic and the more clicks could spell more income for you.

Fitness Magazine Subscriptions: Cheaper Than The Gym

By James Brown

If you are looking for a way to keep up with the latest fitness trends, find new workout routines, gear, and techniques, and get advice on eating healthy to maintain your weight and performance, a subscription to a fitness magazine may be a better bet than a gym membership.

There are several different types of fitness magazines, from the general to those that focus on specific types of exercise, like weightlifting or yoga. There are also different magazines depending on whether you are looking to use fitness as a part of a healthy lifestyle, a weight loss tool, or to reach a high performance level or certain body type.

For women, there are a few magazines in the general fitness area that cater to you. They include Self, Shape, and Fitness Magazine. If you’re pregnant, there’s Fit Pregnancy. For men, there’s Men’s Fitness and Men’s Health. There are also magazines for everyone, like Fit and Health and Fitness Sports Magazine. These publications cover a wide range of health and wellness issues, from healthy eating, to beauty and hygiene products, to the latest medical news.

If weight loss is your fitness goal, check out Weight Watchers magazine. Yoga is growing in popularity, try Yoga, Yoga Journal, or Yoga International Magazine. Pilates is another current fitness craze, and there’s a magazine for that, too, Pilates Style.

Bodybuilders have a myriad of choices, including Flex, Muscle and Fitness, and Iron Man. And of course there are magazines for just about every sport imaginable, such as Golf Magazine and Golf Digest for folks who like to hit the links. Runner’s World and Running Times are devoted mostly to distance runners. Tennis players have Tennis Life and Tennis Magazine. If you prefer to get your workout in the water, try Swim or Swimming World (they are by the same publisher, you may be able to get both for the price of one). Skiers have their own magazines, too, like Skiing and Ski.

If fitness is your job, subscribing to a magazine in your field could help your business. Personal training is a highly entrepreneurial field, and keeping up with the latest trends could give you that extra edge to get more clients. Check out Personal Trainer Today or Personal Training magazine. If you run your own club, try Health Club Management. Whether you are staying fit, helping others stay fit, or both, there’s a magazine out there for you.

Getting Started On eBay

2006-08-09T06:58:00.002-07:00

Getting Started On eBay

By Luke Cameron

I'm sure you have heard about eBay. Who doesn't know eBay? A lot people have already earned a lot using eBay's auction system. Some people even have ventured into mass auctioning. The model is fairly easy - post up an item and people will start a bidding war over it. It is very true that a lot of people have earned thousands of money after they have noticed that eBay is worth their serious time and effort. I am sure that by now you are itching to get started on eBay, but hold on to your horses for a little while. This little guide will be very helpful. Take the time to read this and then find out and learn everything you can about eBay and its business model. If you are serious into getting into business with eBay, this article is worth more than just looking over.

eBay has millions of members within the United States alone. Then consider the fact that eBay has arms on several different countries already. Think about how many members it can possibly have, if you count all the registered users all over the world. Millions and millions of people! That is such a big market, isn't it? But wait a minute, not all the members in eBay are buyers or buyers-and-sellers. This would also mean that a number of members from eBay are die-hard sellers. Yes, there are "big" members in eBay - seasoned auctioneers and mass marketing businesses. There are just so many prospective clients. The question is, do they know about you and your product?

The first step into eBay success is to do your homework - do a little consumer research. You can start as a buyer. Most big time sellers started out as buyers, too. In this phase you will be able to know how eBay works through the eyes of a consumer. Try participating and bidding into auctions as well, for you to be able to get the feel of the entire process.

Just like any other business, you need to consider the demand. What does the market want? If you know this, then you clearly know what products you need to supply. What are the top selling items and who are the top buyers of such products? Find out the demographics of the top buyers and what they usually purchase and the items that start a bidding war over. This is one step towards getting started on eBay.

Do not take the eBay University for granted. There are a lot of articles you can learn from. Think of these articles as "case studies". You will be able to get to know how buyers and sellers interact within the eBay system, how bidding wars are won, how disputes between buyers and sellers are settled. Learn everything you can before you start.

Once you have found out how it is to be a buyer, it is time to switch sides, start your business and be a seller. Take advantage of all the things you have learned from your homework. Remember, Rome wasn't built in one day, and your eBay empire probably won't either. It may take weeks or months. But the patience and hard work will definitely be worth it all.

Big Scam Or Golden Opportunity? How To Tell

2006-08-09T06:58:00.001-07:00

Big Scam Or Golden Opportunity? How To Tell

By Steve Pavis

Many websites will offer jobs that let you work at home , inviting you to be part of “once in a lifetime” opportunity to earn large sums just by joining sales team.

While it is true that the internet offers plenty of opportunity to get extra income, you need to be careful that the so-called opportunity isn’t really a huge scam. Perhaps, in the end, the only earning opportunity they speak of is how they can get a lot of profit from misleading you.

So how do you know if the website is offering a real and valid opportunity? First of all, avoid any earning opportunity that is based on simply recruiting additional distributors. The opportunity to get commissions should come from actual product sales or business services. Furthermore, there must be an opportunity to purchase goods and services without becoming a distributor. If not, then this is an illegal pyramid scheme.

Also beware of an earning opportunity that requires you to purchase a lot of inventory upfront. These are unstable companies trying to get a fast buck, or worse, they can be thinly disguised pyramid schemes.

Beware of any website that claims that you have the opportunity to earn a lot with little or no work because your downline (those people you've recruited into the plan) will do it for you. Sales and supervision are hard work, and no matter how golden an opportunity seems to be, there will always be some commitment required.

Don’t be blinded by so-called miracle products! Balance the desire to grab what seems like a promising opportunity with healthy suspicion. Check with an independent source to make sure that claims are true. Testimonials aren’t a guarantee that the opportunity to earn is true, since they can be given by “shills” (people paid by the company to lie about their profits)

If you’re required to attend a meeting or seminar, don’t feel pressured to sign up right away. Insist on having time to think over the opportunity they offered, and possibly speak to your partner or lawyer. If the opportunity is real and legal, they shouldn’t have any problems with that.

Free Business Resource For Entrepreneurs

2006-08-09T06:58:00.000-07:00

Free Business Resource For Entrepreneurs

By Steve Pavis

Nowadays you don’t need an MBA to be a successful entrepreneur. You can find an incredible amount of business resource on the internet—many of them for free!

This business resource is invaluable for those who lack the formal training, or are simply undermanned and need an electronic business resource to take over certain functions.

The business resource is also important even for seasoned entrepreneurs who want to master the new media, the Internet. Here are some of the most crucial business resource sites for the entrepreneur:

• Business and financial websites. This business resource gives quick and up to date information like stock market prices. Many of the bigger business resource websites also carry useful articles written by industry experts.

• Online calculators. How much will that loan cost you? How long will it take to pay off? These are just some of the questions online calculators can answer for you. While this business resource can’t replace a good finance manager (it can only punch the numbers, not give advice) it is the ideal business resource for small businesses that just need general figures to gauge where they are, financially.

• Accounting software. Can’t hire an accountant? This business resource makes it very simple to keep on top of your business’s financial documents.

• Online courses. You can study anything from engine marketing search to how to make money from a blog to search engine ranking secrets. A valuable business resource for people who want to learn more about running a company but may not have the time or funds to go back to school.

• Entrepreneur forums. The best business resource will always be people who can share their experiences, give advice and “mentor” you through the ups and downs of running a company. You can get this sense of community at entrepreneur forums, which often link to articles, columns and other business resource listings.

• Newsletters. It’s more productive business resource than most breakfast meetings: the email newsletter. Open your inbox and find practical advice, inspiring quotes or a link to a good website The best part of this business resource is that it’s usually free and can give a wealth of information in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee.

Paid To Read Emails ( PTR ) Legit Or Pyramid Scheme?

2006-08-09T06:57:00.000-07:00

Paid To Read Emails ( PTR ) Legit Or Pyramid Scheme?

By David Clemen

There are literally thousands of Paid to Read Email Programs on the Internet. As with any other business opportunities some are legitimate while others are nothing more then scams.

The difference with Paid to Read Email Programs is they are free to join and you are not aware of the scam until it is time to cash out or request your payment.

Once you do request payment you either simply are not paid or your account is terminated. Some Paid to Read Email Sites will only pay you a percentage of what you have actually earned and others will not pay you at all.

Some tips to avoid wasting your time and money:

Do the math. If their ad prices are unsustainable or they do not revamp their ads to remain sustainable prices as the site grows, RUN! How can they afford to pay 10,000 members $.01 (10,000 x $.01 = $100) to read an email when the advertiser only paid $20 for the ad?

Do not upgrade until you have been paid at least once.

Write to the Web Master of the site before you spend money with them. Did they write you back?

Watch their advertising. If they are allowing ads from unsustainable scam sites or are slow in getting advertisements out that is usually a big red flag.

I was very interested to find during my research that there was so little negative written about Paid to Read Email Programs as a whole on the internet when they are nearly impossible to actually get paid from. On the other hand, when you do get paid and do the math to see how many hours you dedicated for that $10 payoff, it wasn’t worth it.

In reality the only way to make money is not by actually reading the emails but by getting people to join to read the emails. Take a look at how much they pay you to refer a new member.

3 Questions

So who is actually reading the emails?

Is anyone reading the emails?

How come all the advertising that you do receive is other Paid to Read Email Programs asking you to join?

I smell Pyramid Scheme!

Webinars: Time Rich And Money Smart

By Allyn Cutts

What comes to mind when you think, “seminar?” Suits, ties, high heels, Hotels, fine dining, travel... the list goes on. Seminars add up to a lot of money and time- something many Americans are becoming less willing to part with.

The laser pace of our society is demanding instant products, and that demand is quickly coming to include the traditional seminar. A lot of people smile at the thought of throwing away the hosiery and suit coats, and letting the world come to their desktop in the form of a Webinar.

According to the well-known Web Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.com, a Webinar is just about what it sounds like - a seminar conducted over the World Wide Web. What’s the difference between a Webinar and a Web Conference? Interaction. Presenters and the audience have direct communication via telephone or speaker phone.

If you’ve been scratching your head, looking for more ways to stretch your days and/or budget this may be your personal bonanza.

5 Reasons to Consider Hosting a Webinar

1. You’ll Save Money

Travel and phone arrangements to get a seminar set to roll can quickly add up. Add to that the time you’ll spend, and the benefits of the Webinar look pretty good.

2. You’ll Broaden your Horizons

Just like everything else that happens on the World Wide Web, the Webinar allows you to reach a global audience that might not otherwise be able to attend a conventional seminar.

3. You’ll Increase Sales

It stands to reason that if you reach a larger audience, your sales will rocket in direct proportion to the expansion.

4. You’ve got a Hook

Once you’ve wooed an audience with a Webinar, you have the perfect opportunity to keep them coming back for other Web Conferences, classes or to your Web Site.

5. You can Make Money as an Affiliate

Affiliateship is a booming market. Why not cash in on it. If you’ve found a good Web Conference provider, offer it to your audience for a profit.

Wondering what will make a Webinar successful?

*Plan Ahead

Just like a seminar you need to have a schedule, choose potential speakers, set a budget, and promote it before hand. Don’t forget to put aside some time to make the registration process user friendly and helpful in following up after the event.

*Market It

Remember to focus on your target market. A great way to spread the good news is to put a “tell a colleague” link on your registration page.

*Make it Exciting

Ring, ring... that’s all it will take to get your audience distracted. Remember you’ll be competing with phones, email and other distractions.

*Have a Back Up Plan

Technology is fool-proof right? Just have a tight deadline to meet, and you’ll find out how foolproof it really is! Be prepared for the worst - just in case.

*Shop Around for a Quality Conferencing Vendor

The bigger the turnout, the more volume your vendor will need to be able to handle effectively. Customer support, as always, is a big plus as well.

PPC Stands For Pay Per Click

2006-08-09T06:53:00.000-07:00

PPC Stands For Pay Per Click

By Stephen Pavis

PPC stands for Pay Per Click - a popular advertising technique on the Internet. Found on websites, advertising networks, and especially on search engines, PPC advertising involves sponsored links that are typically in the form of text ads. These are usually placed close to search results, where an advertiser pays a particular amount to visitors who click on these links or banners and land on the advertiser's web page.

In essence, PPC advertising is all about bidding for the top or leading position on search engine results and listings. Advertisers do this by buying or bidding on keyword phrases that are relevant to their products or services - the higher the bid, the higher the spot on the search results, the more the people will find the ad (and click on it) to go to their websites (this is why some people call it "keyword auctioning"). Advertisers would then pay the bidding price every time a visitor clicks through the website.

PPC advertising is also known under the following names/variations:

• Pay per placement

• Pay per performance

• Pay per ranking

• Pay per position

• Cost per click (CPC)

Here are the benefits of PPC advertising are:

1. You need not be a genius in computer and technology to be able to run this ad campaign.

2. Immediate results are seen after a few days.

3. No need to make a website conform to the SEO rules.

4. Nothing to lose even if you do not top the pages of different search engines. You can still always choose PPC advertising.

5. You can make use any search engine available.

6. You can type in any keyword you like.

The popularity of PPC marketing has given rise to professionals offering PPC marketing services for small and big businesses. Hiring a professional PPC marketing company is advisable for a small business without experience in PPC marketing. Most PPC marketing companies offer reasonable rates for their services and at the same time produce acceptable results.

A PPC marketing professional can attend to all the details commonly involved in a PPC marketing campaign. Handling a PPC marketing campaign is a time consuming process that can be overwhelming for a small business.

There is a solution I joined go-daddy search engine I month ago it pays you to search

How Your Google Adwords Quality Score Can Reduce The Amount You Pay Per Click

2006-08-09T06:49:00.000-07:00

How Your Google Adwords Quality Score Can Reduce The Amount You Pay Per Click

By Tracey Simpson

How does Google calculate the actual cost you pay per click on Google Adwords? An explanation of what a Google Quality Score is, and why having a big one can reduce the amount you pay per click with Google Adwords.

Google Adwords is an auction based Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising system where you as a PPC advertiser set the maximum amount you are willing to pay for each click you receive from your advertisement placed with Google.

As an Adwords advertiser you compete in a real-time auction every time a keyword prompts your ad. Adwords is a 'Vickery' type auction. In a Vickery auction once a winner has been decided, the actual price paid is not the maximum amount bid, it is one penny more than the bid of the second highest bidder. Google Adwords adds a twist to this, as winning bidders are determined by Ad Rank not by maximum bid.

An understanding of the way that Google Adwords ranks PPC bidders to determine who has won each of the real-time auctions is essential to establishing a coherent and profitable strategy when taking part in the Google Adwords PPC Programme.

The Google Adwords Quality Score

The Google Adwords system for determining who wins the PPC auction is based upon the belief that high quality advert creatives benefit all parties involved. When the ads that Google displays match the needs of searchers the assertion is that this benefits advertisers, searchers, publishers and Google alike. They call this 'relevancy'.

Given that the winning bidder gets the highest position and the highest position gets the most clicks, the goal for you as a Google advertiser is to get the highest position for your ad at the lowest possible cost per click (CPC).

Every time a search is triggered and an auction has taken place, Google ranks the resultant ads by 'Ad Rank'. The position of each ad is based upon its 'Ad Rank'

Ad Rank = 'Maximum Cost Per Click' x 'Quality Score'

Since the 'Ad Rank' is not just the maximum amount that an advertiser has bid the highest bidder does not always win. The winning bid is based upon an additional set of elements, which together make up the Google Quality Score.

The Quality Score is the basis upon which Google measures the relevancy of your ad to users and has a major effect in deciding how much you actually pay per click. This means that to compete efficiently an Adwords advertiser must be aware of what they have to do to achieve a high Google quality score.

Exactly how Google calculates the Quality Score is unknown to us and is a closely guarded trade secret.

Google do tell us however that Quality Score is determined by a keyword's clickthrough rate (CTR), the historical performance of that keyword, the relevance of text in the ad, and other relevancy factors including the landing page of the target url.

The Google Quality Score & Cost Per Click (CPC)

Naturally the higher an ad's Quality Score, the more relevant it is for the keywords to which it is tied. When ads are highly relevant to the searcher they tend to earn more clicks and therefore achieve a higher clickthrough rate (CTR). This conveys to Google that users like what they see and are finding the ad relevant and clicking on it to find out more. A higher CTR will increase a keyword's Quality Score which in turn increases the Ad Rank. As a PPC advertiser this means that you can maintain or increase your position whilst lowering the actual cost per click that you pay.

Furthermore Google stops displaying ads for keywords that have a low Quality Score. If an ad has a low Quality Score on a certain keyword it means that users are not finding that ad relevant to their needs and Google will disable the keyword by making it inactive.

A Practical Example Of How The Google Quality Score Works

The PPC bidding system inside Google Adwords is a complicated one because we can never fully be sure of the Quality Score of competitive bids.

Making assumptions about the Google Quality Score, here is an example of how the Google Adwords system would decide who wins an auction and how much they would pay per click.

I've used 5 PPC bidders to display how it works but in reality there will be many more bidders involved in each PPC auction.

The row titled 'Actual CPC' below shows how much each Adwords bidder would pay for their click following that particular auction.

Noddy

Quality Score = 3

Maximum CPC = £0.55

Ad Rank = 1.7

Actual CPC = £0.34

Big Ears

Quality Score = 1

Maximum CPC = £1.00

Ad Rank = 1.0

Actual CPC = £0.81

PC Plod

Quality Score = 1

Maximum CPC = £0.80

Ad Rank = 0.8

Actual CPC = £0.41

To calculate how much each PPC bidder pays, Google first calculates the Ad Rank for each bidder. The Ad Rank is Google's Quality Score multiplied by the Maximum CPC. In the statistics above we've ranked the ads by their Ad Rank and we can see that Noddy has won this PPC auction and his ad will be in top position in the search engine results.

Noddy was prepared to pay Google up to a maximum of £0.55 per click but he only needs to pay 1p more than would be necessary to keep his Ad Rank above the next highest ranked bidder - £0.34. The calculation is:

'Actual CPC' =

('Ad Rank of Next Highest Bidder' / 'Quality Score of Winning Bidder') + 1p

Which in our case is:

('Big Ears Ad Rank' / 'Noddy's Quality Score') + 1p

= £0.34p

The same logic is applied to each bidder in the list, Big Ears and PC Plod.

In the example above you can see that because Google is rewarding Noddy because his ad is relevant, he is actually paying much less per click than his competitors Big Ears and PC Plod.

Using this formula, if all other factors remained constant, Big Ears would have to pay a whopping £1.66 per click if he wanted to move up to a postion above Noddy.

As you can see from this example any PPC advertiser that does not understand the concept of Quality Score runs the risk of paying heavily for their ignorance.

Increase Adsense Earnings By Quitting Smoking

2006-08-09T06:46:00.001-07:00

Increase Adsense Earnings By Quitting Smoking

By Steve Hill

I have been running the google adsense adverts on a number of my websites for around a year now. I have to admit that I am nowhere near the stage when I would be able to consider retiring on its income. I am quite envious of these people that you read about who are saying that they are earning two thousand dollars a week on the program but am fairly sure that most people would be happy to earn six hundred dollars a month. What adsense has helped me to do, quite strangely enough, is to stop smoking. I will explain how in this article.

In the first couple of months after I had had added the google adsense code onto some of my websites, I would go and check how much it had earned on a particular day and would be happy if it was over ten dollars. The average daily figure at this stage was around five or six dollars.

I wanted to find ways of attracting more visitors to these websites which in turn I believed would help me to increase my adsense earnings. I also thought about having a number of new sites built for the same reasons.

One day I was very happy as I had made sixteen dollars, this was the most I had ever made in one day. I live in the UK and this would equate to be worth about nine pounds. Later that evening my wife asked if I would be willing to go to the shops to buy her some cigarettes. I was quite happy to go as I also needed to buy some for myself. When I arrived at the shop, I asked the shopkeeper for the forty cigarettes and he in return stated how much it would cost. This amount was more than the nine pounds I had made that day on adsense.

Even though I was well aware of how much a packet of cigarettes would cost, this still came as a bit of a shock to me. There I am working very hard in an attempt to increase my adsense earnings and then go about throwing what money I have made down the drain by smoking these fags.

This was enough to give me the inspiration to stop smoking, I am not trying to say it is easy but knowing that over a course of a year I am likely to save around a thousand pounds was a big help to me.

My wife has also been very determined and has managed to quit smoking. We now live in a much healthier environment and can now afford to have a holiday abroad each year.

So, Your Ebooks Aren’t Selling On Ebay?

2006-08-09T06:46:00.000-07:00

So, Your Ebooks Aren’t Selling On Ebay?

By James A Penn

We’ve all been there. We’ve all had resale rights products that you can’t even seem to give away on eBay. It happens to the best sellers, the worst sellers and the average sellers. It’s part of selling eBooks on eBay… or is it?

There are a few little-known and highly effective techniques that you can implement to ensure your resale rights eBooks fly off of the digital shelves and into your customers’ hard drives. These techniques are unknown to the average eBay seller and even the majority of power sellers are still oblivious to the power of these strategies. Here are the techniques that I hope you implement to ensure your resale rights eBooks sell like crazy and make you greater profits.

Technique #1 – Manipulate the title of your auction

Maybe your eBook auction isn’t getting the hits it deserves? This calls for a change in the title. Did you know the term ‘resale rights’ is a commonly searched keyword? Why not take advantage of it? If you have space to fit in that term, then fit it in! For example if your auction was for the eBook “Info Profit with eBay” then create a title like this.

“Info Profit with eBay – Master Resale Rights” – Maybe the buyer doesn’t want to read the book but they may want to make money reselling it. It doesn’t matter what they do with it after they buy it, as long as you get paid.

Other keyword phrases you could include are:

“Info Profit with eBay – Make Money on eBay”

“Info Profit with eBay – Home Based Business Opportunity”

“Info Profit with eBay – Make money with eBooks on eBay”

Using keyword phrases like above will increase auction hits considerably. Having said that, only use phrases like above if they are relevant to the eBook you are selling.

However, on the other hand, you could create a title that’s so ambiguous it just forces viewers to click your link and open your auction. Something like this would suffice:

“I can’t believe I’m selling this so low…”

Technique #2 – Manipulate your sales letter to convert better

Maybe your auction is getting the hits but just not getting the sales?

In this instance, it’s the sales letter that needs to be altered. A change in the headline may be necessary. Call the potential buyer to action. Explain the benefits of buying your product and create an image of the benefits in their head.

Technique #3 – Manipulate the graphics

Your resale rights product came with an eCover graphic but it just isn’t up to scratch. It’s ugly and turns prospects away instantly – it needs to be changed!

You can find hundreds of graphic designers around the place however the most popular seems to be www.ecoverfrog.com Get a new eBook design to suit the mood of the product and add it to your auction.

Technique #4 – Add Bonuses!

Maybe your resale rights product isn’t value for money and you need a little something to sweeten the deal. Find a few relevant eBooks that would accompany your product perfectly. For example, the eBook “Info Profit with eBay” explains how you can make money with eBooks on eBay but the buyer may also want to learn how to create info products and how to write sales letters. Add two products that suit this need.

If you’ve read through this article (rather than just skipped to this bit) then you will have now learned four techniques to help your resale rights eBooks fly off the proverbial digital shelves resulting in more sales for you and more money in your paypal account. I hope you implement these techniques and I hope you experience the same results that I do. Good luck!

Winning A Losing Battle In Online Business

Winning A Losing Battle In Online Business

By Rami Doleh

The concept of home based business came as savior to many entrepreneurs who could not achieve their goals of creating and running their own business. We all know that financial reasons were at the top of the obstacles that were overcome by the home based business concept.

Online business made things even easier, but people confused the easiness of getting into business with the easiness of achieving results. Since it is easy to establish a business in a day or two, even within few minutes, people thought that they should achieve results within the same timeframe.

Scam marketers enforced this false belief even further by bombarding the internet with their false promises about achieving wealth within days. Even for those who know the truth, they still have this vision at the back of their heads that can confuse them and distract them each time this vision comes forward.

Most online marketers get into the business while they are either still working at their day jobs or while they are still students. Therefore, the time allocated for their online business is limited. Nevertheless, they allocate a specific time that they discipline themselves to adhere to regardless of any distraction.

Actually this is the right thing to do if anybody wants to succeed in online business. Specific daily goals are set that needs to be done during the limited daily time allocated for their business. Now here comes the challenge;

Online marketers who know what they are in for and who are not fooling themselves about achieving financial freedom within a couple of weeks, work month after month motivated by their ability to discipline themselves and by other results such as number of back links, increased traffic to their website, free trial subscribers, members of their newsletter, …etc.

With all this struggling, many online marketers – if not all – face a period of time when their lives become so busy that they find it extremely hard to achieve their daily targets. This is when many might think that they do not have the time anymore to run the business. Actually this is the right time to test their discipline, but at the same time they should not bang their heads against the wall.

When our lives get hectic for whatever reason, then simply what we need to do is to adjust our targets to accommodate the current situation. Accordingly we should realize that our short, medium and long term goals are going to be affected.

Therefore, to overcome this challenging period and overcome the accompanying psychological trap, do not take drastic measures about your online business. What you need to do is measure your current situation carefully and re-evaluate the time that you can allocate for your online business on daily basis. If you are not able to allocate hours on daily basis then try to do it on weekly basis. Then what you need to do is set up you daily or weekly targets.

This way you can keep running your business on slow mode until this hectic period is over. When it is over then you can switch back to your original work plan. This way you will stress yourself out about not being able to run your online business, and you will not regret a lifetime decision that was caused only by a momentary situation.

If you follow this tactic you will be able to win a battle that most new internet marketers lose, and you will be able to keep running your online business without having to quit.

5 Tips For Getting Great Deals On Used Books Online

2006-08-09T06:44:00.000-07:00

5 Tips For Getting Great Deals On Used Books Online

By Vicky Slater

Statistics show that nearly 48% of book buyers agree that there is no place better for purchasing used books than via the Web. With, literally, hundreds of sites to choose from and reportedly over 25 million selections available, there are at least 5 tips for getting great deals on used books online.

The most obvious and frequently visited online bookseller is http://Amazon.com, with a used books to match almost every new book they offer, plus thousands more. However, companies such as http://abebooks.com, http://alibris.com, http://powells.com, and http://betterthanchocolate.com along with a huge number of other sellers, advertise great deals on used books online, too.

+ The Top 5 Tips

1. Know exactly what you want: condition ('like new' as opposed to 'some wear and tear'); first, second, third, etc. edition; signed by the author; and similar considerations.

2. Set a price range: the cost of the book itself, shipping and handling (insurance) charges. These factors definitely vary from used bookseller to used bookseller. For example, both http://powells.com and http://ebay.com offer a used version of The Velvet Rabbit for the low price of $1.95; however, one seller tacks on $4.95 for shipping and handling, while the other offers free shipping and insurance because you’re a regular customer. Another factor in setting a price range is to find out, if possible, what the book cost when new.

3. Don’t be afraid to comparison shop: Another wise tip for getting great deals on used books online. Some sellers actually do this for you. Simply enter the name of the book, for example Paddle to the Amazon, and they’ll automatically show that their price is the lowest compared to three other online used bookstore sites.

4. Investigate both larger and smaller companies: Bigger isn’t necessarily better when purchasing used books online. When perusing online booksellers, it was relatively easy to find a small, rather obscure company that was selling a used version of Moby Dick for 89 cents, plus $3.95 for shipping and handling; while a much larger bookseller’s lowest price was $2.99 with an additional $4.95 for shipping and handling. No doubt about the great deal here.

5. Look for two-for-one specials and other great offers: This is one of the best ways to get a great deal on used books online. Find a used bookseller who offers the book you want, plus another book (by the same author, on the same topic, etc.) at a two-for-one price. What could be better? The cost of shipping and handling is usually a flat rate for both books.

If reading is one of your passions, these 5 tips for getting great deals on used books online affords you the best ways to add to your home library at reasonable prices.

Because the market is so competitive, these large companies offer deals such as free shipping, two-for-one, extra value packages, and such other incentives to entice buyers. All you need to do is type in 'Used Books' and the names of dozens of sellers appear.

There are several advantages to shopping for used books online. In doing this, the choices are endless - literally A (Aardvarks) to Z (Zoos) - and everything in-between.

5 Things To Look For In A Potentially Profitable Niche

2006-08-09T06:43:00.000-07:00

5 Things To Look For In A Potentially Profitable Niche

By Kevin Anderson

There is one basic reason you are reading this right now. You want to make money off the internet. Chances are, you have come upon this page by searching the internet for articles that can help and guide you in starting or developing your own niche marketing site.

If that is the case, you’re on the right track. To make it big in the online niche market, you have to be willing to learn and intensive searching and researching is the key. Arming yourself with the right knowledge will help you a whole lot in your search for a potentially profitable niche.

Not all niches mean profit. That is the true and clear fact. Before proceeding in building a niche marketing site, make sure that you have all the knowledge you need. Here are five things to look for in a potentially profitable niche.

1) Make sure that you have a market.

All you have to do is go to a search engine and type the keyword of your chosen niche in the page. Click for results. See if there are many sites that offer the niche that you want. The more sites there are and the more forums they have means more market that can potentially go to your own site.

Join some of the forums and see if the niche you have chosen is in the market for products that has something to do with your chosen niche. There are also many programs in the internet which provides numbers and figures on how many people search for the niche you have via the searches done.

For example:

If your niche is about a certain basketball team, see if they discuss about certain products like team shirts, team caps, team apparel, memorabilias, videos and others. If they are, then they probably would be in the market for other products pertaining to the same niche that you have.

2) Find other ideas that can attract interest for a niche product that you can develop.

In the same forums, jot down ideas and suggestions that many of the members mention. You can combine these ideas for a product that many people are looking for or want but is not in the market. Or better yet, you can take an existing idea and develop it for your own product providing more features and more options.

For example, an existing team clock for a team niche could be added with a feature such as a database and a screen where games schedule can be downloaded and stored in as well as players’ pictures and stats as well. There are many ideas out there and it’s just a matter of discovering them.

3) Find out if your niche market has potential in buying power.

This again is an easy task. The more ads there are and the more products being sold in the market means there are many people who are willing to shell out cash for this niche.

Google’s Adsense will help a whole lot when you see Adsense sites of your niche with many advertisers on the site. If there are many Adsense ads in the site then this means that there is a great profit potential for this niche.

4) Find out if your niche hasn’t been cornered by a major corporation.

Do intensive research on the competition. If there are many big and major corporations already covering this niche, chances are they have a finger of every potential big niche product idea in the market.

Even though there is always a good idea lurking around, these major corporations have large staffs and large capitals that can outsell you in terms of quality as well as pricing. They can afford to out price you.

5) See if there are potential sub niches for your niche products.

Try to see if you can expand to other sub niches for your niche product. These way, you don’t get stuck in a rut with the same niche every time. You can be diverse as well as fresh everytime for your potential customers.

By having sub niches you can add links as well get more Adsense advertisements because you cover a whole lot more without totally deviating from your niche. The more ads you have the more there are potential profits for your niche.

5 Reasons Many Adsense Sites Don't Make Money

5 Reasons Many Adsense Sites Don't Make Money

By Kevin Anderson

With the huge success Google’s Adsense has been reaping, there are now only a handful of sites you’ll see that doesn’t feature Adsense on their sites. Everyone is hoping that they could make huge earnings from this pay-per-click affiliate program scheme Google has launched.

While there are many success stories (they are true) of sites that have generated good income from Adsense, there are still some sites that couldn’t grasp the real way of making an earning from Adsense.

This is because many people have failed to generate the needed factors to create a successful site that compliments the features Adsense provides. Many webmasters just put up or create mediocre sites and place Adsense on their site and just sits back and waits for the cash to roll in.

If that is the mentality of a site owner, then he won't earn from Adsense. Remember, a mediocre site will also get mediocre earnings.

To finally realize the Adsense dream, a webmaster must produce a site that has the factors and characteristics needed to generate the traffic and clicks it needs to be profitable. There are many things a webmaster needs to do to achieve this and be one of the millions of sites who have successfully done so. But there are so much more things a site owner has failed to do to make their site more Adsense friendly.

Here are five reasons why many Adsense sites don’t make money.

1) There are no good keywords on the site.

Many sites have failed to do the very essence of search engine optimization, Good Keywords. The internet has many websites competing for the attention of the “netizens” and many sites contain the same or almost the same subjects, topics or niches. To date, Google is searching at over three billion sites; good keywords can get you a good lead above all the other sites.

It is essential that you research well on finding the good keywords your site can use to generate the traffic and get a high ranking on the search engines results. If many internet users are directed to your site, you get a huge opportunity to get great traffic. With traffic comes the profit.

In making money you must spend some. Invest in a good program that searches good and proper keywords for your site. These keywords that people are looking for changes and varies, a good keyword searcher is an investment that just keeps on giving.

2) The site doesn’t provide a good niche.

To get the attention of the people, you must provide a site that can perk up the interest of the people. Adsense works well if you maintain a good number of traffic, you have to keep the people’s interest on your site and have a group of people to keep coming back to your site and have them recommend it.

You must also find a niche wherein these groups of people are interested in. Find the right niche and you’ll find the right group of people that are willing to spend some money.

3) The site owner doesn’t maintain or update their site.

You can only maintain the interest of a person for a short period of time. Many websites have failed to keep up the traffic they generate for their failure to keep their site updated. Immerse yourself in your niche and try to find out what’s new and what’s hot.

You have to serve something new to the people or if not, try to keep abreast with the developments of your niche or maybe add some sub-niches on your site that still pertains to your niche to get new traffic and keep the attention of your clients in your site.

4) Some website owners don’t provide the full attention to their Adsense sites.

Many people just see their sites as a way to earn some extra money. You have to treat Adsense sites as a full size business to make it big. With the heavy competition you have, a good webmaster should treat their site as if it is their main source of income but still maintain a good schedule of their time.

5) Many webmasters have failed to devout time and research to their Adsense site.

Many elements are needed to build a successful Adsense site. Good keywords and the right niches can roll in the dough, but this takes time and effort. It is imperative to devout a certain amount of time in looking for ways to develop your Adsense site.

The internet is abound of sites that could help your own site. A little time, money and hard work can spell the huge difference between a successful Adsense site and a mediocre one.

10 Reasons Keyword Research Is So Important To Adsense Sites

2006-08-09T06:38:00.000-07:00

10 Reasons Keyword Research Is So Important To Adsense Sites

By Kevin Anderson

With the vast popularity and the wide usage of Google’s Adsense in the internet community, many tools and programs have come up to help or assist Adsense sites make more profits. Adsense sites make profit by the pay per click scheme that is employed. Every ad that gets clicked coming from a certain Adsense site provides revenue for the site owner.

The traffic flow into the Adsense site dictates the number of clicks a certain Adsense site may incur. Also, the number of visitors your site gets determines your Adsense income.

One major factor that makes a website get good traffic flow is its content. No matter how beautifully developed a site is, if it doesn’t have good content it wont have a good number of traffic coming in. Your site must arouse the interests of the people who visit it and will encourage them to come back for more. And to achieve that, you must have good content.

Good content coupled with the right keywords and you will see earnings from your adsense site grow everyday. Make your site the money making Adsense site it should be. Here are ten reasons keyword research is so important to Adsense sites.

1) Get high in search engine results. With the right keywords, you can lord it over all the other millions of similar themed sites as your site and be very accessible to the millions of searchers. Many people only go to the sites that are on the first page of the result page of the search engine. If you make it to the top ten, or better yet the top spot, you get a great chance of attracting visitors to your site.

2) Having the right keywords will attract the right niche. Having a niche will attract a certain market making sure that you can get a sure group of people that is looking for your niche and has the same passion as you.

3) Niche keywords will lead your target market straight to your site and to the advertisers’ sites spelling profit. If you research on what the good keyword is for your niche, you will find out what people in that certain market are looking for. As time and interests change, so does the content of your site.

4) Researching for good keywords will spell more sales for your sites as you can produce a product that can cater to that keyword. Knowing what people wants and demands is a marketing tool and sales tool that will always help boost your earnings.

5) Keyword research keeps you and your site updated and well informed a characteristic every internet entrepreneur should always have. Information is a great weapon in the ever so competitive ecommerce market.

6) Another reason keyword research is so important for the Adsense site is that it makes people more aware that your site exists and is available. With millions of sites on the net, a person doesn’t have the time to search them one by one, with good keywords; they can easily discard and choose the site they need to go to.

7) Researching for keywords makes the content of your Adsense site more interesting to your projected market and this will help in the rise of the popularity of your site, also;

8) If you have updated keywords in your content, many visitors would repeatedly come to your site. Even recommend them to their friends and fellow enthusiasts of the niche you choose increasing traffic flow and potential clients.

9) Researching for good keywords offers the opportunity to be linked to other sites with good traffic. Links can be easily exchanged when the other sites know that you have good traffic as well as good keywords.

10) Many more advertisers would want to be included in your Adsense making more revenues and increasing your monthly take as more people would have more choices in the ads to click. With that, people need not go to other sites. They would just stay in your site and do their search there. More clicks mean more money and profit.

5 Common Mistakes Made By New Affiliate Marketers

2006-08-09T06:36:00.000-07:00

5 Common Mistakes Made By New Affiliate Marketers

By Jill Seader

You’ve just signed up for this fantastic new affiliate program. They have great products, free referral websites, training, pre-made ads for you to copy and the best compensation plan on the internet. This is the best affiliate program on the internet! Put a few ads out there and you’re on your way to becoming the next internet millionaire. Right?

Before you break ground on that big mansion on the hill, here are a few mistakes many new affiliate marketers make that you’ll want to avoid.

5. Believing the hype

And yes, I do mean the hype promoted by your own program. Those income projections that every program makes are just that, projections. You can make that much. Will you within your first few months of the program? Probably not. Look at this as a long term investment in your future, not a way to get rich quick. Believe in yourself and your ability to make your dreams come true. But don’t believe the hype.

4. Expecting instant results with little effort

Expect to work your business. And expect to work it daily. If you opened your own neighborhood store, you’d expect to have to go in to work daily, wouldn’t you? You’d expect to have to advertise and get people to come to your store. Well, you just opened your own brand new internet store, what are you going to do to make it work? How are you going to get people to come look at your product?

3. Lack of a plan and specific goals

You’ve probably heard the saying, plan your work and work your plan. You need to have a specific plan and clear, measurable goals. Many people join affiliate programs with the vague goal of wanting to make a lot of money. How much money? How quickly do you want it? (Try to be realistic here, making a million dollars in one month is not realistic.) Okay, you have your clear, specific goal. Now how are you going to get there. Again, think clear, specific steps here.

2. Advertising your affiliate link

Wait a minute, if you don’t advertise your affiliate link, how are you supposed to get sales and downline members? Create your own website that has a link to your affiliate program. Every affiliate for your program gets the same website that you do. You have to be able to make yourself different from everyone else. The way you do that is with your own website.

1. Quitting

You’ve been working your affiliate program for 2, 3, maybe even 4 months now with very little to show for it. You’re getting discouraged and beginning to wonder if this is worth it after all. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and figure out what it is you need to be doing. Learn more. Bug your sponsor and your upline members until they help you out. Don’t quit. No one ever achieved success by quitting. Neither will you.

The Best And Worst Months For Earning Money On Adsense

2006-08-05T12:59:00.000-07:00

Do you have the google adsense code on some of your websites? Do you wonder why some months seem to make you a lot more money than others? Are you looking into ways of increasing your adsense earnings? In this article, I write about the type of events which can have a negative affect on your ability to earn money on adsense and what type of month for example you are likely to do better in.

I was advised about the potential benefits of google adsense by a friend of mine, around a year ago. He suggested it could be an easy way to earn a little bit of extra cash each month without doing a great deal of work for it. I already had a couple of websites and decided to take him up on his advice. I was more than impressed with the results, the two domains in question were well established however and were quite well placed in the search engines. My friend warned me that it is not so easy to make as much money with a new site as it takes quite a long time for the search engines to trust each new site, this is where the sandbox comes in of course. I understood what he was saying but I still wanted many more sites, they would not be new forever was my attitude.

A year later, I now have quite a large portfolio of websites which are mainly health related and are what are called information portals. Over the next couple of years I am planning to add a lot more sites to this portfolio as I have been very pleased with the results from adsense so far. I am not trying to say that I make enough money to retire on, but I am looking at the whole thing as a long term project, as the domains mature and with a lot more promotion of each site, I am confident that within a few years I will not only be making a lot more money on adsense but that I will have a portfolio worth thousands. It is like real estate in my eyes and there would be many people interested in taking the sites off my hands. It would give them a ready made income without having to start from scratch like I did. I have to say that there is no way that I would sell however, why would I? I suppose every man has his price though.

What my friend has noticed is that in some months you earn a lot more money than in other months. There has just been a big football tournament taking place, the world cup. This is the type of event which has a negative affect on the adsense earnings. Any event or situation which is likely to resort to less people sitting in front of their computer is going to result in a drop in your adsense earnings.

For these reasons August, July, June and December are likely to be the worst performing months. March, April, October and November are likely to be the best performing months.

If you notice a drop in your adsense earnings over the summer months do not panic, keep promoting your site in the usual ways and just sit back and wait for the winter to begin. Enjoy the summer while it lasts of course.

Which Advertising Mode to Choose: Pixel Ad or Word Link?

2006-08-05T12:54:00.000-07:00

Internet based entrepreneurs have been witness and participant to new levels of advertising media brought into existence these past few months.

Advertising is no longer the domain of print magazines, the broadcast industry, the billboards, the traditional media, or what you have been accustomed to.

We now have pixel advertising and word links.

The pixel advertising scheme was advocated by U.K. student Alex Tew during the second half of 2005. His initial goal was to sell some ad spaces on his site to finance his studies. Before long, his web site dots were all sold out.

Copycats sprouted and they came and went like wildfires in the deep California forest. Most have folded down while a few sites remained, though mostly unvisited.

It's too early to tell the life cycle of pixel ads. It may need another push, or another advocate - to jettison its acceptance to a more permanent and popular level.

The pixel advertising "inventor" Alex Tew is now happily counting his million dollars from the confines of his bank, while meditating how he did it and planning to put it all in writing through his forthcoming ebook.

Of late, early July 2006 to be exact, another form of advertising came out. This was the word link scheme created by Adsense expert Joel Comm. You purchase a word from his web site and that word will all be yours to link to any site of your choice.

You can judge how the word link advertising is faring by the haste with which a follow-up site was launched. All the words in the first web site had been goobled up in a matter of days!

We shall hold our final comment on how word link medium will fare. It may fade as quickly as the sun sets, or challenge the escalating dominance of Google adwords.

One thing is sure though. Advertising is here to stay. It is the product of an economic system that has survived the worst and best of times.

Another entrepreneur like you who could come out with a new idea will be rewarded with a rich bonanza. It doesn't matter whether you're a novice entrepreneur like Alex Tew, or a seasoned marketer like Joel Comm. The important thing is that your idea is fresh, or a rehash of an old scheme. You should be able to capture the interest of people, too.

To paraphrase the advertising exponent Claude Hopkins, advertisng has closely reached the status of a science. People just love going to the moon if it can be made possible. Anybody who can offer the moon will be rewarded with stars ... and dollars to boot.

As for the home based entrepreneur, observe and watch clearly. Put your advertising dollars where the results spell success to your business.

Ultimate Wealth Package Review - Genuine Money Making Opportunity or Scam?

2006-08-05T12:52:00.000-07:00

"Are You Ready To Make Thousands Of Dollars Every Week. Working Less Than One Hour Per Day."

Bold statements, so does the Ultimate Wealth Package deliver on its promises or is it another scam delivering nothing. I like many bought the Ultimate Wealth Package after reading the sales page and liking what I saw.

Firstly let me give you a very brief overview of the package.

The package is currently the largest package being offered from the money marketing stable including a massive 108 bonus items, the bonus items are not the usual rubbish you see in these type of offers, some of the bonus items that are given away are products that are being sold legitimately on their own for a higher price than the entire package. Currently if you buy the package, Mark the author is giving away a custom affiliate web site designed by one of his web designers and valued at $400 absolutely free, although I am led to believe that this is a limited offer and could well be withdrawn by the time you are reading this review. The book itself is the most comprehensive compilation of ways to make money on the internet that I have ever come across.

So does it deliver?

In all honesty I would have to say yes it does, with the techniques of earning money fully detailed in each area whether you choose a pay per click advertising strategy or you go down the eBay avenue you will make money using this guide. However, I realise first and foremost that the sales page is trying to sell you something and although I am earning substantial amounts each week using a technique from this book, it would be a blatant lie for me to say that I am doing this in less than an hour a day, I am spending more like 2-3 hours a day on the particular method that I am using, now in time as my skills and abilities increase this time may come down a little, but I don't think that it will go down to less than an hour a day.

In Conclusion I would say that the bold statement "Are You Ready To Make Thousands Of Dollars Every Week. Working Less Than One Hour Per Day" is partly true, although for me it is the right part of the statement that is correct, you can earn thousands of dollars a week, however you need to devote more than an hour a week to achieve this. I would also add that to achieve the results I have attained, there has been effort on my part to make it work, this is not a click a button and make some money solution, but then I never thought it was, it does require effort on the part of the purchaser and then the sky is the limit.

How Google Detects Invalid Clicks, A Must Know For AdSense Publisher

2006-08-05T12:50:00.000-07:00

A lot of Google AdSense publishers are banned from the Google AdSense program for invalid clicks. Some of these Google AdSense publishers manage to get their AdSense account reinstated. However, majority of them failed to do so. As a result, they are banned from the Google AdSense program.

Google does not reveal any specific details about invalid clicks in order to protect their proprietary invalid clicks detection technology. Hence, you would not know who is generating these invalid clicks on your site or where these invalid clicks come from.

If you are not getting any details of the invalid clicks from the termination letter, it may be a good idea to learn how Google defines invalid clicks and ways to detect invalid clicks.

Google defines invalid clicks as:

* Manual clicks intended to increase publisher’s advertising
* Clicks by automated tools, robots, or other deceptive software.

So how does Google detect these invalid clicks and how would they know which clicks are invalid? Google AdSense team uses three powerful tools to detect invalid clicks:

* Detection and Filtering Tool: Each click on an AdSense ad is monitored by Google system. Google will record the IP of each click, the time of the click, duplicate clicks and various click patterns. Google will use these factors and filter out potential invalid clicks.

* Advanced Monitoring Tool: Google uses its proprietary software to monitor invalid click activity. They are constantly working to improve their technology.

* The Google Team: In addition, Google has a team that uses specialized tools and techniques to examine individual case of invalid clicks. When Google system detects potentially invalid clicks, a member of this team will examines the affected account.

Despite the effort that Google put in to improve their invalid clicks detection technology, there are few innocent publishers whose AdSense account has been suspended or banned temporarily for different reasons. For example, a sudden spike in your AdSense earnings would probably raise the red flag in their system and cause your AdSense account to be suspended. If your AdSense account is suspended for invalid clicks which you did not commit, Google provides you a way to make your appeal:

A Piece of Advice

When you are making your appeal via email, you should stay calm and plan the right strategy. You should be patient when dealing with Google and most importantly you should be polite when communicating with them. You may take initiative to provide them with all the documents they need.

Sales Lead Arbitrage: Is Google AdSense Arbitrage Evolved

2006-08-05T12:46:00.000-07:00

Have you heard of "Google AdSense Arbitrage?" You probably have. It is a system of buying PPC ads in one market, the most popular being Google's AdWords, and re-selling them in another market (your website), a market created mainly to display Google Adsense ads, to take advantage of a discrepancy in ad prices for PPC ads. You purchase cheap PPC ads and re-sell them at a higher rate. It is a virtually risk-free profit if done properly. However, the market is saturated with such sites and the profit margin is continuously decreasing.

Have you heard of "sales lead arbitrage?" Probably not. Perhaps it is because the term has not been used before. A search for "sales lead arbitrage" shows zero results in Google. You may not have heard of it and it may not have been written about but it’s been happening on the internet for years. It is Google AdSense arbitrage evolved and it is, potentially, a lot more profitable.

Sales lead arbitrage is a system where a website "captures" a customer's information. That is, it captures the information of a customer seeking a quote, be it a life insurance quote, a residential mortgage quote, a new car quote, a home-improvement quote, a financial services quote, and so on. It takes the customer's details and re-sells it to a salesperson that specializes in that sort of business and is seeking new sales leads.

The information that the website captures is valuable; it is a customer that is actively seeking a quote and many business professionals are willing to pay good money to receive it to generate more new business for themselves. The difference in price of the PPC ad to draw the visitor to a site and the re-selling of the sales lead is multiple times the profit margin of regular Google AdSense arbitrage. And, the same sales lead could be sold multiple times. The sales lead could be sold for between $5 and $200, depending on the market.

Websites that do this normally use PPC advertising to draw visitors that are looking for a free quote to the site. The visitor usually is prompted to fill out a form with their details to receive the free quote. The information is then re-packaged and re-sold to willing buyers at a huge mark-up.

A good sales lead arbitrage website will give an immediate quote and then ask the user if they would like an agent to contact them. An example of a good site is Kanetix.com, which provides insurance quotes. Of course, to provide immediate quotes like this you must have access to a table of rates. A bad and spammy site will lead users to believe that they will be receiving an immediate quote and then turn around and sell that users information without asking for permission (perhaps the terms of service are in the small print that nobody reads).

Websites created just to display Google AdSense that have no value otherwise are littering the internet and many people consider them spam. A lot of people would agree that doing away with such sites would make for a better user internet experience. Websites designed for sales lead arbitrage can be considered spam but are not as bad as Google AdSense arbitrage sites. If done properly, like Kanetix, the sites provide "value" for the user and is a perfectly fine website.

Google's Next Move – Video Game Ads?

2006-08-05T12:44:00.000-07:00

Since AdWords was launched in 2001, Google has expanded to image ads, video ads, and print ads, and has frequently been rumored to be entering radio and television. While many think that television ads (ala Spot Runner) could be Google’s next major move, they may be neglecting a potentially larger opportunity: in-game video game advertising.

Earlier this year Massive Incorporated, a video game advertising network, announced a landmark deal with Major League Baseball and 2K Sports to provide dynamic advertising in the popular video game Major League Baseball 2K6. According to their press release, “Massive’s Network and technology allow MLB Advanced Media and 2K Sports titles to leverage dynamic advertising for ever-fresh brand messaging in their games, mirroring the rapidly changing and expanding advertising opportunities in the live action sports industry.”

Why Should Google Care?

The Entertainment Software Association put U.S. sales of video game hardware and software at $7.3 billion back in 2004, a figure that rivals Hollywood box office revenue. In-game video game advertising is nothing new for the booming game industry – large companies have been buying static advertisements in games for years. What is new is the expansion of online gaming into the mainstream. Once reserved for only PC Gamers, console gamers have now discovered a whole new world of competition over a broadband connection.

In a recent interview with TechNewsWorld, EA’s John Schappert, who oversees the largest interactive game studio in the world, was asked about in-game advertising: “In-game ad integration is a growing business where we see both advertisers and consumers looking for more. It's an additional revenue stream that is still small, but growing. There's the potential for scalability in this area with dynamically-served ads. It's still in the early stages [in terms of] how in-game ads will grow in significance.”

Starting with Microsoft’s Xbox and Sony’s PS2, and continuing into the next generation of online gaming with Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Nintendo’s Wii, and Sony’s PS3, it has become a virtual certainty that nearly all gamers will be playing while connected to a broadband connection. With that broadband connection comes an advertising opportunity that’s hard to ignore.

Is History Repeating Itself?

The potential flaw in what Massive Incorporated does is that their ad network still only includes the large advertisers. Massive’s website gives no specific information regarding how to purchase advertising, only mentioning that “blue-chip” advertisers can work with their “veteran” sales team to start an account. I think it’s safe to say that small businesses aren’t their target market. So while they are implementing dynamic ads, those ads are still only affordable to larger businesses. Anyone familiar with internet advertising can see the potential for history to repeat itself.

Way back in 1996, long before Overture (now Yahoo! Search Marketing) and Google AdWords, a company called DoubleClick pioneered website advertising. Their downfall, however, was that they required a formal sales contract, limiting their potential client base to only large companies. Overture and AdWords made it easy for the small advertiser and small site owner to participate in their ad networks, essentially opening their service to anyone on the web. Several years later, one would think that Google is keeping a watchful eye on what’s going on over at Massive Incorporated. Massive may be the first to enter the market, but it’s hard to ignore the fact that the small business owner remains shut out. Could Google make Massive the next DoubleClick?

How Would Google Do It

There’s no doubt that with the best programmers in the world Google is capable of developing and improving upon the technology that Massive has. It’s also not hard to imagine advertisers paying per thousand impressions (PPM) for their text or image ads to be shown in specific games, much like they do now for specific sites. The tough part for Google, however, would be the distribution of those ads.

As opposed to signing up websites to display their ads by copying some code on to their site, Google would have to work with game programmers throughout the development process. This would be much more time consuming and would be a much larger risk for Google. In the same way that Massive signed the contract with 2K, Google would have to sign large contracts with game developers and work with them for several months to integrate their ads.

This enforces the fact that the main difference between what happened with DoubleClick and what could happen with video games is that it would probably be more work for Google to distribute their ads over multiple channels (i.e. more games). Since each game is programmed differently, there is no game equivalent to the JavaScript used in all AdSense ads. Every game would need to be tailored to Google’s ad network individually. Difficult: yes. Impossible for Google: no way.

When Will They Do It?

In my opinion it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when. The potential revenue from the gaming industry is too big for Google to ignore. Oh, and if you still aren’t convinced, consider this: Microsoft, one of Google’s main competitors, also produces the Xbox 360. If Microsoft decided to integrate their newly launched adCenter into Xbox games, would it really surprise anyone if Google countered by announcing a deal with Sony or Nintendo to integrate in-game dynamic advertising for the PS3 or the Wii?

2006-08-05T12:40:00.000-07:00

Google Adsense is a fun and easy way to make extra money. It’s important to follow the rules though as Google is serious about the integrity of this program. Not following the rules could result in your Google Adsense account being terminated. Here are a few Do's and Don’ts for using the program:

DO

Read the Terms and Conditions and Program Policies thoroughly.

Read everything you can about Google Adsense. Learn from others’ experiences and mistakes.

Learn how to optimize your site for the most enjoyable and profitable Google Adsense experience. Realize it does take some time and hard work. That’s why it’s so important that you write about something you care about. Hard work is even harder if you don’t like what you’re doing.

Visit other sites that are benefiting from Google Adsense. Click on the ads only if you are truly interested in the product or service being advertised. Read other people’s blogs and comment on them. Only offer a comment though if it is truly sincere.

Hopefully, these helpful tips will ease you into using the program and help you avoid mistakes that could possibly cost you a lot of time or money.

DON’T

Never, ever, ever click on your own ads. Google Adsense makes it very clear this won’t be tolerated.

Don’t ask your friends and family to click on your ads. Rather, earn money by referring them to the Google Adsense program.

Don’t participate in the Google Adsense program strictly for the money. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It will take time and hard work to make a profit.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything the first day. Although the Google Adsense program is extremely user-friendly, it may take a little time to integrate all the facets of the program. Be patient and above all, have fun!

Where to Place Google Adsense Ads on Your Web Pages.

2006-08-05T12:38:00.000-07:00

Deciding Where to Place Your Google Ads on Your Web Pages so That They Will Be Most Profitable

This is one of the best parts of the whole Google Adsense experience. No one else gets to make this decision except you. It’s your page. You get to decide how many ( up to 3 ads per page), what colors and shapes you will use and on what part of the page the ad will be placed. Should you place your ads at the top or bottom? In the middle of the text? To the left or right?

The most important decision should be based on the needs of the visitors to your site? What are they looking for? Are they there to read or merely to browse. If they are there to read an entire article, say, you might try placing your ads at the bottom of the page so they will have something to do next. Some publishers swear by placing the ads at the top left of the page because they think customers look there first.

The fun thing is experimenting with all the possibilities. Try different ad locations and different colors for a week and note the differences in your reports. When you hit on something successful, you’ll see the difference.

Making Money with Adsense

2006-08-05T12:37:00.000-07:00

Over the last few years, “Google” has changed from a not so well-known search engine claiming to the fastest one around to a verb, literally. These days we often hear people saying things like “Just Google it!” to describe the action of searching the net for something. Google has made its mark in the search industry, the same way that Hoovers did with vacuums or Vivid did to permanent markers! But, Google is much more than just a search engine. It offers a wide span of products and services roughly revolving around the search concept: From Google Earth to Google Desktop search to Google Adsense.

With Google Adsense, it is possible for publishers (like myself) to earn an on-going revenue from their websites. All publishers need to do is place a bit of code on their website and Google automatically visits the site, looks at the content of the site and places relevant ads on the site. If you missed that, the main keyword here is “relevant”!

I obviously don’t mind earning a bit of advertising revenue from my website, but I certainly don’t want my visitors to see ads of household cleaning products or car parts or baby prams! I want my visitors to see ads that are relevant to this website and that genuinely interest the users. And Google does exactly that. Each web page is visited (and revisited) by Google’s little helpers (called bots or spiders) and based on the content on each page, relevant ads are then automatically displayed on the page. Ex: The Affiliate Programmes page contains ads for other affiliate programmes and the Online Marketing page contains ads relevant to that page. That’s the main thing so wonderful about this programme. Plus, you don’t have to worry about selling ad space and leftover ad inventory all the time. Google takes care of all that for you.

So, if you have a website and have been thinking about advertising on it, Google Adsense might just be the thing that you need!

How To Use Google Adwords To Get Massive Targeted Traffic Using These Methods

2006-08-05T12:34:00.000-07:00

It is no secret that in order to make a living on the Internet you have got to have traffic. It is common knowledge and it is something that you know you have to have but you don't necessarily know how to get. The reason you built a web site in the first place was to get visitors. More than likely you have spent numerous hours trying to build the perfect web site. You may have used Microsoft Frontpage or any of the many other publishers to build your web site.

If you can manage to get large amounts of traffic you will no doubt be able to convert them into paying customers. At least that is the hope of most web masters. Some of the larger web sites that have been developed at great expense over the years have fallen by the wayside. However, there are many small sites that have done quite well.

By using Google Adwords you can zero in on your target audience. Let's say that you have a web site that sells vacuum cleaners, given a choice, which would you rather have, one thousand visitors per day of a general nature searching for everything under the sun or one hundred visitors looking specifically for vacuum cleaners. My choice would be the one hundred unique visitors looking for the cleaners. Why, simply because my conversion ratio would be much higher.

Are You Spending Money To Make Money

We have all heard the saying, "You Have To Spend Money To Make Money". While not always true, it does have application when it comes to using the advertising service that Google has called Adwords. I've used Adwords on a continuing basis for several years now and I would have to say that I have spent a lot of money with them. But the flip side is that I have made more sales than I would have otherwise. In other words, I took in more money than I put out.

"You can never go wrong making a profit" is what the former student of Glenn Turner, James E. Tolleson and his brother Rodney Tolleson used to say. This is true, with one caution. If you spend one thousand dollars in advertising and make one thousand dollars in profit you have made a good investment. However, if you spend one thousand dollars to run ads and only make one hundred dollars in profits your risk reward ratio is too high.

What risk reward ratio is correct? Well, that is something you will have to decide for yourself. Personally, I like a three to one ratio. If I can spend one thousand dollars running ads I'd like to see a three thousand dollar profit.

21 AdWords Power Points

2006-08-05T12:31:00.000-07:00

Google AdWords can be a great source of traffic. It can also be an expensive experiment gone wrong. When running a Google AdWords campaign it is important to do things the right way. This will help insure the profitability and success of your campaign.

The following is a list of best practices I call the 21 AdWords Power Points. Read them, print them out and keep them handy for future reference.

1. Be very targeted, not general, in every aspect of your campaign.

2. Always send the surfer to a targeted landing page.

3. Think like your potential customer. What's in it for her?

4. Think like your potential customer. What would your customer search to find you?

5. A few good highly targeted keywords are worth more than a thousand general ones.

6. Use AdGroups to advertise in a very targeted way.

7. Always use negative keywords. Study the top 100 search results to find negative keywords.

8. Constantly manage your campaign. Don't expect it to run itself.

9. Be flexible in your bidding. Top position doesn't always mean best performance. Sometimes #3 or even #5 or works best.

10. Focus on conversions. A lot of clicks doesn't always mean a lot of sales. Don't attract the wrong crowd.

11. Concentrate on CTR. When a campaign is new, establishing history is essential to the success of a campaign.

12. Use match types effectively. Exact match works better than broad match in some situations. Make sure you test often to know which match type works best for your campaigns.

13. Make sure your landing pages download fast and are usable.

14. Make sure the landing page sells. The user should find it immediately obvious why they were sent there. The landing page must convert for your campaign to succeed.

15. Always use a call to action in your ad and landing page.

16. If selling on price, include that in the copy.

17. Use a domain name that includes your most targeted keyword.

18. Analyze your competition. Study their strategies and bidding practices and find a way to differentiate your ad and compete more effectively.

19. Use keywords in your ads so that they are highlighted.

20. Run competing adgroups with different ad copy.

21. Constantly monitor your results and never stop testing.

Google Leading The Way In Advertising, Microsoft Playing Catch Up?

2006-08-05T12:30:00.000-07:00

Google is the most popular search engine on the internet today. It's simple functional design is a pleasing and comforting introduction to the internet, from where many millions of people are conducting their search queries this very second. Google has grown enormously since its conception, and eventual launch in the late nineties.

It seems that Google's domination of the internet search engine market has fueled a fearsome drive, one that periodically introduces new services and ways for us to use the internet, undeterred by the prospect of going head to head against such giants as Microsoft. Due to their massive reach and the trust they have instilled amongst internet users, its unsurprising that their services have gained such following and credibility. Such services inculde Google Mail, a free email service with generous disk space, in direct competition with MSN's Hotmail, or Google Local and Google Earth, invaluable geographical resources that appeal to children, conspiracy theorists or scientists alike; Google Answers - have specialists answer your questions; Google Video, Google Scholar, Google Maps, Google Video.. The list goes on, find out their latest experiments at Google Labs, http://labs.google.com/ - and see for yourself what innovations they have lined up for us next.

And eventually we get to the point. In the past few years, we have heard of Google reporting record revenues, sevenfold increases in revenue which they attribute to the success of its contextual advertising system, Adsense, and the continuing growth of online advertising.

Advertising a product on the internet is cheap and economic. Google's approach to advertising adopted its clean, efficient approach to online solutions, and proved immensely successful. Utilising their search engine algorithms they serve adverts contextually, where adverts are based upon the content of a webpage. This system not only automates the process of finding the right people to display your advert, but also increases the clickthrough rate, or the number of clicks generated by the adverts.

Therefore the success of the program has not been a big secret; many case studies into how we perceive the internet recognise that we have adopted such traits as "banner blindness", where traditional garish advertising schemes prove ineffective. Pop-ups naturally deter visitors, and flashing banners are ignored. Google's simple text based adverts prove to be a valuable resource, rather than a detraction from ones online experience, and it still remains a mystery to me why Microsoft have been so slow to react, and take its share of the contextual advertising market.

Two years late, Microsoft eventually took on Google at their own game, launching adCenter. Yes that is the same prefix, have they no shame? Microsoft were the last of the big three (Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft) to develop its own advertisment delivery system, previously adopting Yahoo!'s adverts on their networks, taking a cut of the profits. In early 2006, microsoft's contract with Yahoo! expired and subsequently only their adverts were displayed. Microsoft's networks reach nearly two out of every three online users today, creating great potential adCenter. Microsoft refuse to be behind the game, introducing new features allowing advertisers to target their adverts based on demographics, and even to increase their bids to target users of a certain demographic more aggressively. AdCenter also allows advertisers to run their ads on specific days of the week, and even on certain times of day, a feature Google Adsense only adopted recently.

Should Google be worried? Advertising is big business, and its growth on the internet is relentless. There's room enough even for the three giants to jostle, but it will be interesting to see which direction advertising takes next.

The new Buzzword in town is "Behavioural Advertising", a system that targets adverts based on an users surfing habits, rather than the content of the website they are surfing. Recent studies have shown that behavioural advertising generates lower click through rates, and higher conversion rates - where a click converts into a sale of a product or service. This means that an advertiser needs less clicks on his advert, to generate a greater number of sales!

There are a few problems associated with behavioural targeting however, most notably our right to privacy. No one wants their surfing habits recorded and analyzed, and how will the advertisements distinguish between different users on the same computer? Google have had a few disputes with privacy advocates, most notably over their Gmail service that scans emails to serve content related advertisements. Will our goodwill and trust in Google, Microsoft or Yahoo! allow for behavioural advertising? It will be interesting to see who eventually takes on the idea, and the inevitable ensuing retaliation by the privacy advocates.

Google AdWords - Will Changes Hurt Small Business?

2006-08-05T12:28:00.000-07:00

If you are running one page sales letter websites, squeeze pages that gather email addresses before giving out information or reports that are given at no cost, a site whose sole purpose is to display adSense ads or any affiliate site, you may be in for a big surprise when Google ups your minimum fee from .05 to .50 or more.

So why would Google want to knock out paying customers and drive them to Yahoo or MSN? They say it is because they want the customer to have a good experience with good content so that they will be encouraged to click on other ads in the future. This means that when the customer has a good experience from clicking on one ad, they will likely click on another one in the future. And if Google continues this way, they will stand to make a lot more money for each click.

The biggest thing I question is that the content on the site doing the advertising has to be unique and not the same as any other site. I believe this is pointing directly at affiliate sites that are similar or almost identical to the parent site. It may also involve the usage of syndicated content or using article marketing sites that have RSS feeds. Does this mean that a newspaper that carries a story from the newswire can only be carried by one paper throughout the world? I guess if you are buying AdWords, it will be the case.

As with anything Google does, they only seem to grow and rake in more money. However, Google proclaims that they are after the interest of the consumer and not the advertiser. It is the consumer that needs to have a fantastic experience and keep coming back for more. The question is then, "How will current AdWords advertisers adjust to make sure they follow the new rules?"

My guess is that the advertisers will have to comply with the new rules for squeeze and landing pages to make sure they are keyword dense to match the ad. As far as looking like another site in content, that may be a bit difficult. If you are using articles from companies that are using affiliates, there will need to be a way to customize the information or use writers that are good at reworking content to make it unique (contact the writer for more on how to do this).

The one thing that you can do to comply with the new rules is to make sure that all your content is useful and relevant (especially for the keywords you are using). And one more thing, if your viewers need to register on your squeeze page, let them know what they are getting - be brief but be informative.

Why Contextual Advertising Works, and will Work for Your Website

As we spend greater lengths of time surfing the internet, we inadvertantly aquire traits and habits that streamline our progress through its pages. One such trait is known as banner blindness, and it's quite possible to attribute the decline in garish, loud advertising schemes, and the recent success of contextual text advertisments to its effects.

Recent studies conducted by the Nielsen/Norman Group found that internet users avoided viewing banner advertisments. Text advertising is read more often than display advertisements according to the data collected using eye movement tracking hardware.

Everyone has generated a schema of how the average website is constructed, and the longer someone has been browsing the internet, the less time his or her eyes will stray from this schema when scanning a new webpage. Does this mean that the adverts are ignored due to where they are positioned? Contextual advertising has changed how advertising works, but generally, webmasters allocate advertising space in a similar vein as always to maintain consistency. This means that the appearance of adverts is a greater factor in their success than their positioning.

Studies of the same type also conclude that increasing the aggressiveness of the adverts, in relation to their size, contrasting colors and flashing animations do not counter the effects of banner blindness. On the contrary, such banners have been noted to deter visitors with greater regularity. Webmasters speculate this is the result of such banners being associated with negative experiences in the past, such as leading to websites that install malicious code, include pop-ups, or even just contain irrelevant and unsuitable content.

What does this mean for your website? Adopting AdSense, Overture, AdCenter or any other contextual advertising schemes in your website that display text advertising, is a viable alternative to banners and flashy adverts as a way of generating, new or additional streams of revenue. You should keep in mind when adding such adverts to your website that their success depends on a few factors other than the volume of traffic running through your website. Your main concern is their appearance; something we can't forget, even when dealing with text advertisments. The closer your adverts resemble or match the colour scheme you have on your website, the greater the potential click through rates. Some claim this is misleading, to suggest that the paid links are infact internal links within your website, however, it is argued that this example is only another expression of banner blindness, where internet users are ignoring what doesn't seem related or "part" of the page they are viewing.

As always, there are those who try to flaunt the system. With text adverts blending seamlessly into webpages, its not too uncommon to see them at prime positions on webpages, where body text usually resides. In such positions they are in the direct eyesight of all webusers, including those who have adopted banner blindness - how long is it before text adverts start to loose their effectiveness? Only time will tell, and at the speed at which the internet moves along, that's not very long.

Target PPC Ads and Get Higher ROI

2006-08-05T12:24:00.000-07:00

How can you attract online searchers to choose your ad among the many other ads on a particular web page? How can you be sure that if ever a searcher clicks on your ad, he or she will be converted as customer? The key is the ad itself. If you create an ad that speaks of what you actually offer and presents it in an attractive way, there is a higher chance for it to be clicked; thereby, giving your website an equally higher chance to be visited.

So how do you actually create a targeted PPC ad like this? There are three factors to consider in making an effective and attractive ad that seduces online users. These factors determine the rate by which your ad will be clicked, the percentage that your site will be visited and the rate at which these visitors will be converted to customers. The three factors are:

• Headline and Title of the PPC Ad;

• PPC Ad Description; and

• PPC Ad’s Landing Pages.

Headline and Title of the Ad

Remember that the internet world holds a tough competition among online business owners and advertisers. To make your PPC ad more attractive, more relevant and more visible, you should start with the headline and the title. The headline and the title of your ad must be targeted. Avoid general terms that don’t appear interesting or specific.

What should be included in the headline and the title of your PPC ad? The headline and the title should contain specific information about the products or services that you offer. Make it interesting enough to catch the attention of the online searchers. If your ad is not good enough, do you think it will be chosen among many other ads? You should include specific and relevant information on the title and the headline, as well.

Description of the Ad

Your ad should maintain its attractiveness all throughout the description. If the ad headline and title need to be targeted; so is the description. If you have already enticed the online users through your ad’s title and headline, continue to attract them through your ad’s description. If you have special offers on your products and services, include it in the ad’s description.

Ad’s Landing Page

What is considered as the ad’s landing page? The landing page is the page that online searchers get to upon clicking on your PPC ad. The landing page should contain the product or the service that the searcher is actually looking for. If your ad promotes a hotel, the searcher should actually find information about the hotel on the ad’s landing page.

To make your PPC ad work for you and your online business, remember to target the ad’s headline, title, description and landing page. Do this and soon you will have an ad that gives you a better sales and higher return on investment.

Tips For Combating Click Fraud

2006-08-05T12:22:00.000-07:00

Click fraud is one of the biggest issues in the pay per click industry right now. It's easy to understand why, too – click fraud costs advertisers money, but gives no return. It cuts deep into profit margins, and in some cases, may be the difference between making money and losing money.

Click fraud is, at its simplest, clicks on ads that are not generated by a real person interested in making a purchase. Click fraud can come from many different sources:

Click bots, which are robots designed to click on ads, are one source. Click bots are often run by an affiliate of the PPC search engine.

Competitors may click on your ads to try to drive your cost up.

Click schemes are programs people join to click on ads for each other. Usually these people are affiliates of the PPC search engines.

Combating click fraud can be tough. One of the easiest ways to combat click fraud is to not advertise on search engines who deliver lower quality traffic. This factor is easily determined with conversion rates. If one search engine's traffic converts at 2 percent, and traffic from the second search engine converts at 1 percent, you know the traffic from the second search engine is half the quality. Click fraud is likely one of the factors involved.

In addition to such basic tracking mechanisms, you can use more advanced tracking mechanisms to try to catch click fraud. For example, you could use a script that you would gather data on visitors from PPC search engines (data might include IP address, number of times they clicked on the ad, and time they spent on the site) and use that data to pick out suspicious visitors. You can then submit the data to the search engine and request a refund on the traffic.

Click fraud is probably the biggest problem in the PPC industry, and you can work to save yourself some money by combating click fraud.

Positioning For Success: How To Arrange For Adsense Profit

2006-08-05T12:20:00.000-07:00

Where you place Adsense units on your website has a strong bearing on how high of a CTR (Click Through Rate) they will achieve. Humans are a finicky species, and do not like to feel as if they are being manipulated or controlled in any way. If you place a big bold Adsense unit squarely in front of their face, most people are likely to scroll down or click the back button to prove they can’t be controlled by the (ad) man.

You need to subtly work your Adsense units into your content in a harmonious manner that subtly draws the eye to the ad, without being too bold and salesley (it’s a new word I just created, don’t try to look it up.)

So how does one go about placing Adsense units in a pleasing and profitable manner? First, make sure your Adsense units do not look like advertising, make them blend in with the rest of your site’s content.

Next, you have to follow the natural flow patterns a person uses when they browse a website. Most people read from top to bottom, left to right. If your Adsense units are in the top portion of the webpage, the part visible before the user scrolls down, there is a better chance of getting the click. I have found that rectangular blocks of Adsense units inserted in a table to the right of my content gets the most clicks.

If you have a Google Adsense account, you have probably read their help and tutorial sections, if not I highly recommend you do so. One of the neat things they have is what they call a heat map, a colored chart of the best places to put your Adsense unit for the biggest response.

It is also sometimes profitable to put a wide Adsense block at the very bottom of your content; if you were unable to capture their interest and click in the main body of content, it is one final chance they have to give you a profitable click before leaving your webpage.

Google Adsense Profit: Three Steps To Triple Your Adsense Earnings

2006-08-05T12:18:00.000-07:00

If you’re like nearly every Webmaster who has Google Adsense on your websites, you have undoubtedly been tempted by the Adsense Gurus who promise to teach you how to make a gazillion dollars a month with no extra work. While this of course sounds enticing, like everything else on the web; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I’m going to tell you up front, for free, what all the gurus charge $40 to $250 to learn.

Are you ready?

Are you sure you’re ready to receive this earth shattering, mind blowing secret that will MAKE YOU MONEY RIGHT NOW!?

The secret is; There are no Adsense secrets!

Believe me, if there was a secret method to make thousands of dollars a month with little to no work, none of these gurus would go through all the effort to tell the world about it. They would exploit the secret themselves and sit in their walrus leather super massage loungers on their solid gold super yachts and laugh at all the poor saps following the rules

There are no Adsense secrets, just common sense and a couple of neat little ideas that you can implement that will increase the CTR (Click Through Rate) of the Adsense ads being served on your website. And an increased CTR means increased MIYP (Money In Your Pocket).

The first thing you must realize is that content is king. If your website does not have an abundance of keyword rich, search engine friendly content that provides a valuable service to your visitors, no amount of Adsense tweaking in the world will make a difference. There are far too many sites slapped together with the sole intention of generating Adsense income. In fact, for $40 or so on eBay, you can buy a CD with over 350 websites themed to high paying keywords and setup for Adsense. All you have to do is enter your Adsense information and sit back while the Mailman struggles to deliver the hernia inducing bags of Adsense checks to your doorstep.

This is a really cool fantasy, one I like to entertain almost as much as the winning the Lottery fantasy, but it just isn’t going to happen. These sites have no original, valuable content. People who may be suckered into visiting one of the sites will see that in an instant, and view the Google Adsense ads as a desperate and annoying attempt at fooling them into clicking. If a live Adsense editor were ever to visit one of these sites, your Adsense account would be suspended quicker than you can say click fraud.

The underlying non-secret that all the Adsense gurus want to sell you is that if your Adsense ads look like content, and are tightly keyed to your own valuable, original content, you will see your CTR rate double at the least, and more likely triple or more.

I recently began implementing the three steps I am about to reveal to you, and my average daily CTR on one of my sites went from .86% to over 4% literally overnight. Now this is a new site, just under a month old and I only get around 100 visitors a day, but I went from $0.30 a day in Adsense revenue to an average of $6.00 a day in Adsense revenue. Now scale those numbers up to the amount of traffic an established site is getting, and you can see just how phenomenal of an increase this is.

1. Remove the Adsense Border. By default, the Adsense units are surrounded by a border with a text box at the top that says “Ads by Gooooogle”. You goal is to work the Adsense units into your content as seamlessly as possible, so get rid of the borders. Now, Google won’t allow you to delete the borders, but they do allow you to control the colors of nearly every element of an Adsense unit. Simply make the border the same color as the background of your website. This goes for the background color of the Adsense unit as well, change it to match the background color of your webpage.

2. Use Rectangular Box Sizes for your Adsense Units. Like most people, when I first started with Adsense, I primarily used the horizontal skyscraper, you know, the one that looks like a banner. The problem is people have developed an advertising sensory overload, they don’t even see banner ads anymore, they visually tune them out. You need to make your Adsense unit blend in with your content, so use rectangular boxes. I get the best response with the 336X280 box size. Most languages are read from left to right, so try to place your rectangular Adsense unit in a table aligned to the right of your text.

3. It’s all about the colors. Google gives you an incredible amount of leeway with the colors you can select for your Adsense units. Use this to your favor, in addition to changing the border and background color, change the link and URL color as well. Most people are accustomed to clickable links being blue, so make sure your Adsense links are blue, with one exception: if you use a different link color on your site, change the Adsense links to match that color. At the bottom of each Adsense unit there is the URL for website paying for that ad. You want to draw attention away from the URL and towards the clickable link, change the color of the link to match the body color of the ad, generally black.

Just follow these three simple guidelines and I assure you, your CTR will skyrocket. Keep adding more original, relevant content to your site, increase your targeted traffic, and watch your Adsense revenue explode.

There are many more Adsense techniques that will increase your CTR, but these three are the most important. Watch for future articles in which I explain the importance of positioning your Adsense units and how to track your Adsense campaigns using channels.

Google Adsense: How to Apply for the Program and Important Info on Paying Taxes

2006-08-05T12:17:00.000-07:00

How to Apply to the Google Adsense Program

Applying for a Google Adsense account is quick and easy for any interested webmaster. Just point your browser to www.google.com/adsense and click on apply. Click on the drop down arrow under account type and select whether you’re an individual or business. If you’re not sure which one to choose, click on the question mark to the left. Next, select your country or territory.

Under website information, it asks for your primary URL. If you have your own website, list it here. If you are using a blogging site such as writingup.com or bloggingparty.com that URL goes here.

Select your website’s primary language. Google adsense supports Chinese (simplified), Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.

Select the product you want on your pages. Adsense for Content means you will have advertising targeted to the content on your pages. For instance, if you write about flooring, you might have carpet ads on your page. Adsense for Search is for you to add a Google search box to your pages. To maximize your Google Adsense earnings, you will want to have both.

After that, it’s just the regular contact information and you’re all set. You should receive an email in 2 or 3 days letting you know if your application is approved.

Do I Have to Pay Taxes on My Google Adsense Earnings?

Google Adsense is required to collect tax information from those who participate in the program. If you’re a business, you’ll need to put your EIN number on your application. If you’re an individual, all you’ll need is your social security number. If you don’t have that information when you initially sign up, you can still apply for the Google Adsense program. But be advised that Google Adsense will withhold payments to you until they receive your tax information.

While Google does not withhold taxes or provide any tax advice, they will send you a 1099 once your earnings reach a certain amount. Of course, if you are a Non-US business and have no activity in the United States, you will not need to provide this information. For more tax information regarding the Google Adsense program, visit the Google Adsense Support site. For other tax-related questions or concerns, you can log onto www.irs.gov.

Google Adwords Changes Algorithm For Quality Score On Landing Pages

2006-08-05T12:14:00.000-07:00

Last week Google changed its algorithm for determining the quality score of landing pages being advertised in its pay-per-click program Adwords. This development had a major impact on the rankings and the cost-per-click price that advertisers are paying. This was done to improve the relevance of its paid search results, attempting to improve the user’s experience.

What is a Google's Quality Score?

Google's quality score is a rating number for how relevant your landing page is related to the keyword you are bidding on. The Quality Score is in place to keep the paid results in Google to be as relevant to the term searched as possible.

How does Google Determine the Quality Score of a Landing Page?

Google's quality score rating is a totally automated system that determines this number. Since there is no human involvement in this score, it is solely established by what Google's bot can read. If you do not have relevant text, H1, Meta tags, keywords, and descriptions on your landing page(s) your quality score has most likely suffered greatly.

Effects of a Low Quality Score

A low quality score will cause 1 of 3 things to happen within your ad campaign on Google.

1. Your ads will be pushed down on the results of the first couple of pages for each respective keyword.

2. You will see a huge spike in your cost-per-click amount (this is because lower rated pages need to spend more money to be listed).

3. Your keywords will become "inactive for search" which means that the combination of your quality score and maximum cost-per-click bid is not a high enough total score to even make paid search results.

How to Improve a Low Quality Score

A low quality score can only be improved by improving the on page relevance of your landing pages to the keywords you are bidding on. I personally would recommend creating at least 1 landing page for each Ad Group within your Adwords campaign. This may take some time, or money, but this action will lower your bidding cost and improve your paid results ranking which can easily save you thousands of dollars annually.

Blogatin vs. Schmidt: The Truth That Hurts So Badly in Click Fraud Theory

2006-08-05T12:12:00.000-07:00

The core truth of life is what is actually at the bottom of every successful venture. This universal truth of CHOICE, on most occasions, could be very hurtful to many, a stubborn dreamer, who refuse to wake up, out of their fantasy land, back into our real world.

Donna Bogatin (a former investment banker and university instructor) is a blogger on Digital Micro-Markets ZDNet.com and posted a piece "...LET IT HAPPEN..." on the 9th July, 2006, in which she imputed that Eric Schmidt, the Google CEO, suggested a perfect, self-correcting economic solution to click fraud, and that is: "LET IT HAPPEN".

Google through a spokesman, Shuman Ghosemajumder, had come out to deny this imputation by Bogatin. Google said that her CEO was quoted out of context and that Schmidt was only responding with an hypothetical scenario to a question posed by a caller on, if there is any economic, rather than technical solution to the problem of click fraud.

Bogatin has 'fired-back' frowning at being commonly referred to as a blogger without identity and without reference link to her blog's url on the same subject by Google. She countered that Google is only being indignant and disagreed with the casual dismissal of her blog post as 'misleading' by Google. That, she contends, would not change fact of her position. It is however noteworthy that, belying this dispute is the raging but silent battle for supremacy between Google and Yahoo. A quick study of Bogatin's blogs shows that she is objectively on the Yahoo side of the 'divide'.

'Theory is grey my friend, but the tree of eternal life is ever green' says and old philosopher. As industry stakeholders: publishers and writers, what should be our position on this matter? What we must first recognise is that, most of us subscribe to the excellent services of these two giants. To use the contentious issue of click fraud to score points in this battle would be short-lived. The ultimate victor in the battle of demand and supply is CHOICE, victory is not won on the basis of sentiment, not even on the platter of righteous indignation!

Who doesn't know that both giants go to great lengths to protect advertisers and fight click frauds from denigrating our industry? Schmidt has been reported several times as calling click fraudsters "smart but evil people" and he continually declares with pride that it is fun to always be a step ahead of the fraudsters in the race.

The hurting and bitter economic truth of click fraud problem in our industry is that, all activities of "click-criminals" and competing or rival "click groups" help to nullify one another in the long run. Google and Yahoo only become relevant in the short run, with their click fraud detection techniques. It is no gain to counterpose the short-run measures against the overall long-run results. Both work out to the same ultimate goal. it is precisely the gap between the short and long run that Google, Yahoo and others have risen to fill with their different detection techniques. So why "knock their head against each other"?

Our sentiments and fears that Google's "inaction or inadequacy" to tackle click fraud may erode integrity and confidence in the industry does not hold water. In fact they are impotent in the face of the choice of advertisers, who regularly, successively, and progressively have been increasing their advertising budgets, by reason of previous successful campaigns. That is one answer that will always expose our articulate impotence and silence our unfounded fantasy. Nobody argues with truth because it is one. If you collide with it, you will break into pieces, if it comes against you, you will be grounded to powder. No sentiment and semantic can toy with the power of free choice in a market economy!

AdSense Secrets - Joel Comm's Google AdSense Guide Reviewed

2006-08-05T12:08:00.000-07:00

Joel Comm is the best-selling author of a book called "What Google Never Told You About Making Money with AdSense!"

Some may wonder why Google never told you these AdSense secrets, but the reality is that Google tightly controls & denies their publishers from sharing specific click through, page views, and other internal metrics. It’s probably a good thing that Google controls this data as it stops a whole series of events that would only cost time to contain.

Recently they have opened up their confidentiality policy to allow any of their publishers to disclose the payments received from Google. With that said, Joel has reported that he earned $18,834 USD in a month recently. If Joel can earn it, you can earn it!

With that said, once you get started
with AdSense and make your first buck,
you’re left with a question:

"Now what do I do?"

I've personally read Joel's guide (It’s a quick read and you can begin implementing or testing some of the strategies the same day you begin reading it) and I see two ideal clients for his book:

1) AdSense Publisher’s who have high traffic sites and have not optimized their ad panels yet and want to leverage even a greater return from their existing traffic.

2) Newbie AdSense Publisher wannabe’s who have never started with AdSense yet and want an introduction to short-cut their learning curve.

If you expect to buy his guide and instantly earn $500 USD per day, you may be disappointed. You’ve got to have real traffic to create AdSense revenue improvement results, but his guide could definitely be used as a blueprint to start from scratch or wherever you are at and bring it up to $500 per day and beyond.

Has Joel Comm’s AdSense guide worked for me?

I’ve been able to hire additional employees to our team solely because of the improvement in AdSense revenue that our business has been able to generate through legitimate strategies discussed in his book.

One fellow publisher emailed me to say that he made back his investment the same day.

It's no secret that I love Google's AdSense program as it's the first of its kind (& scale) to really change the landscape of the Internet by helping connect their hundreds of thousands of advertisers with hundreds of thousands of websites that are controlled by publishers and webmasters like you and I. It's a way to win together. Joel's guide just shortens the learning curve.

Even if you decide that the book isn't good enough for you (he does offer a money-back refund policy on his website), I think the real gem is his weekly emails that he sends to his AdSense book-buying clients. It's like having a weekly AdSense coach. :-)

Prevent Your Adsense Account From Getting Terminated

2006-08-05T12:07:00.000-07:00

Google, being the leader in search engines till now, is placing a high importance on the quality and relevancy of its search engines. Most especially now that the company is public property, Google has became seriously quality conscious regarding the results it displays.

For this same reason, doing the wrong things in the Adsense and other forms of advertisements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in a severe penalty, may even get you banned. Nothing like a good action taken to keep wrongdoers from doing the same things over again.

So for those who are thinking of getting a career in Adsense, do not just think of the strategies you will be using to generate more earnings. Consider some things first before you actually get involved.

Hidden texts. Filling your advertisement page with texts to small to read, has the same color as the background and using css for the sole purpose of loading them with rich keywords content will most probably earn you a penalty

Page cloaking. There is a common practice of using browser and bot sniffers to serve the bots of a different page other than the page your visitors will see. Loading a page with a bot that a human user will never see is a definite no-no. Multiple submissions. Submitting multiple copies of your domain and pages is another thing to stay away from. For example, trying to submit a URL of an Adsense as two separate URL’s is the same as inviting trouble and even termination and because of this you should stay away from auto submitters. Its always better to check first if your domain is submitted already in a certain search engine before you try to submit it again.

Link farms. Be wary of who and what are you linking your Adsense to. The search engines know that you cannot control your links in. But you can certainly control what you link to. Link farming has always been a rotten apple in the eyes of search engines, especially Google. That is reason enough to try and avoid them. Having a link higher than 100 on a single page will classify you as a link farm so try and not to make them higher than that.

Page rank for sale. If you have been online for quite some time, you will notice that there are some sites selling their PR links or trading them with other sites. If you are doing this, expect a ban anytime in the future. It is okay to sell ads or gain the link. But doing it on direct advertisement of your page rank is a way to get on search engines bad side.

Doorways. This is similar to cloaking pages. The common practice of a page loaded with choice keyword ads aimed at redirecting visitors to another “user-friendly” page is a big issue among search engines. There are many seo firms offering this kind of services. Now that you know what they actually are, try to avoid them at all costs.

Multiple domains having the same content. In case you are not aware of it, search engines look at domains IP’s, registry dates and many others. Having multiple domains having the same exact content is not something you can hide from them. The same goes with content multiplied many times on separate pages, sub domains and forwarding multiple domains to the same content.

Many of the above techniques apply to most search engines and is not entirely for Google only. By having a mind set that you are building your Adsense together with your pages for the human users and not for bots, you can be assured of the great things for your ads and sites.

Not to mention avoiding the wrath of the search engines and getting your Adsense and site account terminated altogether.

How to Double Your AdSense Income Instantly

2006-08-05T12:05:00.000-07:00

As you probably already know, AdSense is revolutionizing the way many infopreneurs are creating revenue from their web site traffic. The reason for this is its simplicity. Through AdSense, revenue is generated when someone simply clicks thru the AdSense ads displayed on the webmasters web site.

In this article I want to give you a few simple ways to dramatically increase your AdSense income.

The bottom line:

To increase AdSense income all you must do is increase the number of click thrus you receive.

There are two ways for you to increase your total number of click thrus. You can either increase your website traffic or you can increase your AdSense click thru rate. Now, getting more traffic would be great, but let’s be honest increasing your web site traffic is much easier said than done. So, let’s focus on increasing your AdSense click thru rate instead.

4 Tips to Increase Click Thru:

Match your AdSense to your website:

You want your AdSense ads to appear as seamless as possible. Your goal is to match every aspect of your AdSense ads to the theme of your website. What you want to do is remove the borders from your AdSense ads and match the background color of the ad to your website. Additionally, you want to match the color of the AdSense links to the rest of the links on your website plus choose an ad format that makes the ads look seamless.

For example, if your web site has a white background and the default color of your hypertext links is blue you will want to remove the border from your AdSense, make the background white, choose either a square or a rectangle as your ad format instead of a skyscraper or banner, and yep you guessed it… make the links blue.

Placement Matters:

Where you place your AdSense ads is just as important as how they look. Luckily, there are only a few concepts that you need to worry about in order to increase your click through rate.

•The more white space around your ads the better
•The closer to the top of the page the better
•The closer the left of the page the better

Follow these concepts and I can assure you that you will see an increase in your AdSense click thru rate. (It really is that simply!)

Google Search:

Now this is one that I rarely see webmasters take advantage of. The Google AdSense program gives webmasters the ability to add a Google search box to there web site.

Why should you use this function?

Well, when a website visitor chooses to use this search box from your website your AdSense ID will be imbedded in ALL of that visitors Google searches. If that person does 1 search or 50 your AdSense ID will still be imbedded throughout process.

Why is this so great?

If that visitor clicks on any of the sponsored listings while surfing from your web site guess who makes money. YOU! If they hit the back button and click on another ad guess who makes money? YOU! This is absolutely huge. Through this function you now have the ability to earn multiple click thrus from the same visitor on the site visit. Please don’t overlook how powerful this is. Besides, most of your website traffic will just be browsing anyway, so I why help them find what there looking for and make a little coin along the way?

Tracking:

Just like any other type of marketing, you won’t know what’s working the best for you on your web site unless you track the different things that you’re experimenting with. Set up a few Google AdSense channels for the different ads that you’ll be placing on your website. Then just see which channels are working the best and stick to those.

That’s it!

Follow the tips above and I can assure you that you will absolutely double your AdSense click thru rate and your AdSense income. The best part about the four tips I’ve shared here is that you can put them into action immediately and see how they will work on your website right now. Who knows… you could be making twice as much by tomorrow by just making a few simple tweaks here and there.

Good Luck!

Google AdSense Fraud - Deep Insight

2006-08-05T12:02:00.000-07:00

It's worthwhile to examine Google's definition of Google AdSense and Click Fraud, before delving deeper into “AdSense Fraud”.

Google AdSense fraud is one of the diseases that plague the Ad Words advertisers. The AdSense program essentially allows website publishers/owners to sign up with Google, enabling them to display Google Ads on their sites. These publishers essentially act as “Google Partners”. The ads chosen by the Google bot for display are contextual and the ads are related to the contents of the publisher's website, more specifically that particular web page. The intent for Google is to capitalize on the traffic to these (in practice) niche sites and provide highly direct targeted traffic to the advertiser. A subset of the users of the Google Partner website, click on those ads and Google charges the advertiser per click. Google shares the booty with the website publisher but the revenue sharing ratio falls under Google's “undisclosed “criteria. While the exact amount can be reverse engineered, the take home lesson is that the filans a course of action. He “invests” in a clickbot software( a simple google search reveals many) and gets a list of anonymous proxy addresses. He then goes to register a few domains and hires someone off of elance to create a “network of sites”and “ click bot ” . He hopes that the interlinked sites will provide each some “link popularity” and increase his page rank. If only it were that simple! He then proceeds to use the $30 clickbot to start clicking on the sites. Or he could click on them himself manually using the proxies. We don't call him click monkey for nothing. He clicks and clicks all the way to see his account getting banned. No banana for this monkey! His calls of despair to google fall on deaf ears. This person is likely to quit, but sometimes retries to get up the food chain, the Wanna -Be-Fraudster.

Wanna -Be Fraudster ( aka BOZO):

This girl searches for high paying keywords like “home loan equity” (current ad words rate: $45), or “web hosting” (ad words costing $20). She correctly guesses that the AdSense payout is proportional to what Google earns and therefore homes in on such words. Her strategy is to make a page with contents that are appropriate for the targeted high payout keyword. She moves ahead by clicking on the link multiple times and recruits friends and family to give them a click. Or ten!

Little does she knlans a course of action. He “invests” in a clickbot software( a simple google search reveals many) and gets a list of anonymous proxy addresses. He then goes to register a few domains and hires someone off of elance to create a “network of sites”and “ click bot ” . He hopes that the interlinked sites will provide each some “link popularity” and increase his page rank. If only it were that simple!

Little does she know that Google has a 45 day inspection period before she get her nubby little fingers on that cash. With little to no knowledge of Click through Ratio , her greed couples with her ignorance. Seeing her ill-gotten paper wealth multiplying in her AdSense interface, she increases the clicks. Google however inspects the CTR and throws a fit when they see a CTR exceeding 20%. Furthermore, Google notices clicks mostly originating from a few IP addresses and that essentially seals her fate (or rather docks her earnings). That virtual cash is now just some deleted bytes on a hard disk on Google's servers. She moans, nay she rail against the cruelty of Google's policy. Some of these people wisely cease and desist such activities, perhaps philosophizing about the NFL (no free lunch) theorem. Others however see it as ground school for the next stage of nefarious behavior. The Almost-There Fraudster.

Almost-There Fraudster ( aka SmartAlec ):

The archetypical ATF is supremely confident in his ability to fool Google. Like the BOZO, he looks for high paying keywords and makes appropriate website(s). Let's assume that he is in a third world country, just to make the case more interesting. The case described here is 1 year old news. He has read this article and taken the learnt the subsequent lesson . He knows that that the clicks from the IP Addresses of USA, UK & Canada are worth much more than the clicks from the IP Addresses from the third world countries. He therefore seeks to befriend people from such IP addresses by logging onto messenger services.

This way, he gets the unique, unrelated IP clicks and (he hopes) that Google is fooled. Remember “creature of the night”. Well, these people typically are more than a few time zone removed from the US or Canada and therefore are up at odd hours whenever they feel that their targets are most likely to be active. Plus they sometimes have to deal with “inconveniences” like a day job.

AT fraud thinks that the clicks he obtained by trolling on these sites is a job well done. He has got clicks from the IP address of his choice .. An interesting factoid is that for AdSense, state also matters. Clicks from Washington and New York State have the highest payout for AdSense Fraud.

He has just one problem. His tragic flaw. While he worked so hard to get the unique IP and high earnings, he is not able to maintain a good CTR. He is likely to cross the limit of 30-40% of daily CTR and 10-20% of overall CTR. He ends up in the same purgatory as the BOZO. The account is banned, and he gets the abominated email. Yes, the “AdSense account closure”. Almost-There is never good enough in this nether world of AdSense gaming. Although it is possible that he would have made a few thousand dollars before the punishment catches up to his crime. Crime doesn't quite pay, now does it? Well, gentle reader, unfortunately crime _is_ paying to the next category. Fraudster Maestro ( aka Satan's Spawn).

Fraudster Maestro ( aka Satan's Spawn):

This category of fraudsters is the most sophisticated and rarely gets caught by google . She has researched the high paying keywords as well as the CTR issues well. She has the smoothest lines in the business of soliciting clicks. She can flirt online, and ask to click the “link” for her picture. Or she may claim that clicking the link causes the hungry child to be fed in Ethiopia . Let's follow a typical “simple” chat session:

AT Fraud: hi

US User : hello

AT Fraud: what are your coordinates, handsome?

US User : NY , NY

AT Fraud: Oh! Wish I could be there. Can you help out a damsel in distress?

US User : sure

AT Fraud: I have made a site and want to see if all the links on this page are working or not. Can you please click on the links and see if the other page loads?

US User: Sure. Link?

AT Fraud: www.fraudstersite.com/high-value-keyword-page.html

US User : wait! Yes I checked all the links and they are working fine.

AT Fraud: Thanks

US User : so can we talk about you now? ( Message Not Delivered as the fraudster has blocked the User and is busy looking for a new victim)

And she has lots of tricks up her repertoire besides chatting up strangers. She knows about opt in lists, usenet and blogs where she can snare the victims. Technically savvy and able to empathize with her victims she doesn't let arrogance get in her way to success. Since she is very mindful of the CTR issues she has a secret weapon. She has optimized her site for some low paying keywords which are really not competitive. She organically gets lots of traffic (but for things unrelated to those competitive high paying keywords). In her website, she may be giving away free greeting cards Or free screensavers. End result is a fabulous impression count. The second step for her is to makes unrelated pages on the same site and these pages pertain to the high paying keywords. These keywords are used to attract the victims of chat sessions. The process of getting the clicks is different but the results due to CTR are very lucrative.

So, how does all this geek talk affect the PPC advertiser? It's a $5 billion+ dollar market(for exact projections onto the future, please check out our FAQ, and with a 20% + fraud rate, we are talking about a 1 BILLION dollars fraud per year. Even Dr. Evil may be impressed by such a number. It's greater than the cumulative GNP of a few banana republics. And a fair chunk is ending up in the coffers of these fraudsters. We know from anecdotal evidence, how people are clearing up to 20 grand a month. All, courtesy of the hapless PPC advertiser.

We want to emphasize that there are lots of authentic sites serving genuine content. But unfortunately the existence of these people (as discussed above) reduces the ROI of many advertisers to the extent that they rethink their interest in PPC. In the word of one of our organic SEO customers, with PPC “you always get a little less back than you put in”. It needn't be that way, if you watch carefully where your ad words traffic is coming from and take some steps (such as traffic analysis or at the very least a log file analysis) to protect arm yourself with data for a refund claim for google. Another thing to keep in mind is to stay nimble. Convincing search engines to refund money is a lot tougher and a lot more work than proactively watching for problem visitors and warning them of the repeated clicks and how they are being monitored. Our experience shows that all but the hardened criminals are deterred(reducing the adwords wasted burden). Remember, an ounce of prevention…

How To Earn Advertising Revenue With Your Website

2006-08-05T11:59:00.000-07:00

If you are the owner of a website, especially one with a large audience, there are numerous ways in which you can earn an income from advertising. The best part is is that it’s so easy. Most people think that you need to actually sign up companies or accounts on an individual basis. This is not so. All you need to do is register through third party ad servers or brokers to begin serving ads on your website.

Here are my three favorite advertisement serving companies that you can choose from to make additional income from your website:

1. Fastclick: Fast click serves banner ads in a variety of different sizes. You choose the sizes you want and then just paste the code onto your website to begin showing the ads. Fastclick works on a cost per 1000 impressions (CPM) basis. That is, you get paid based on every time the ads are shown 1000 times on your website. You get paid whether or not anybody actually clicks on them! You get 65% of the revenue and Fastclick keeps 35%. The banner ads shown are very appealing with some well known companies that use it to advertise, including MSN, Ask Jeeves, Vonage, and Western Union. To the average layman visiting your site, it would look as though some great companies have personally chosen to advertise on your site bringing it some added credibility. You can also block any inappropriate banner ads from showing on your site. Register at www.fastclick.com.

2. Commission Junction: An affiliate marketing provider. With Commission Junction, you choose which affiliates’ ads to show on your site and then post their banners. This doesn’t pay based on the number of impressions or the number of clicks, but rather someone would have to click on the banner, be taken to the affiliate website, and then either sign up or buy something from that website before you would be paid a commission. Obviously, the actual number of completed transactions are low but the commission on the completed sales are higher than other advertising methods. Commissions run anywhere from $1 to over $100 per completed sale or sales lead. Various affiliates that you can choose from include Ebay, Yahoo, IceJerseys.com, and Starbucks. Sign up at www.cj.com.

3. Google Adsense: This PPC (pay-per-click) advertising is probably the most popular and widely used of all internet advertising web publishers, probably because it is the most nondescript and doesn’t involve any animated banners that draw attention away from your website. You serve the Google text ads on your site and you get paid any time someone clicks on one of the ads. Mainly, you get anywhere between 1 cent and 50 cents per click. This doesn’t sound like much but if you have a website with heavy traffic it could be thousands of dollars a month. Register at www.google.com/adsense.

You can use any one or a combination of all three methods to earn advertising revenue from your website.

$1 Million in Google AdSense Earnings

2006-08-05T11:54:00.000-07:00

They are calling him the million dollar man. Jason Calacanis recently revealed in his blog that he is on track to earn a million dollars from AdSense over the year ahead.

And if that number doesn’t wake you up and have you sitting on the edge of your seat, consider for a moment that he reached this level in less than a year. His company only started using AdSense in September 2004.

Calacanis runs Weblogs Inc., a network dedicated to creating trade weblogs across niche industries. And he’s quickly proven that AdSense is a credible advertising partner.

As their network has grown, so has their AdSense revenue. In January 2005 they earned an average of $580 per day. In March it was $737. In May it was $1,585. One day in July, just before he made the blog entry referred to above, they earned $2,335. Remember that is just for one day. If they can take that daily average to $2,740 they’ll be earning a rate of $1 million for a year. And Calacanis predicts that reaching daily earnings of $3,000 or even $5,000 is quite achievable.

That’s quite an achievement. Keep in mind that Calacanis has 103 bloggers on the payroll and nine staffers. Even so, many webmasters would give an arm or a leg to have even a third of that.

Google’s AdSense has been revolutionary. It has become firmly established as the darling of the online advertising industry. Although rumors are heard of major competitors launching a similar service, AdSense’s premier position seems secure for now.

In essence, AdSense has made it possible for almost anyone with a web site or blog to earn some revenue from advertising, without having to employ sales people or spend precious time searching for advertisers.

AdSense works like this. Webmasters sign up for an account in just a few minutes. They receive a small snippet of code to include on their web pages. Google will then automatically serve advertisements that are relevant to the content on the webmaster's pages. When someone visits the webmaster's site and clicks on one of Google's AdSense advertisements, the webmaster earns a fee. Advertisers can pay anywhere from five cents to a hundred dollars per click, and the webmaster receives a percentage of that fee.

Many webmasters are content with earning five to ten dollars from AdSense to cover the cost of web hosting. But many, unsurprising, have higher ambitions. At a popular WebmasterWorld forum, participants share tips and encouragement on reaching a goal of $300 per day from AdSense. So it is no wonder that Calacanis created quite a buzz when he made his million dollar blog entry.

Google have proven once again that they excel at designing innovative Internet services. If you are in the web industry and have not yet used AdSense, then perhaps you should try it out. Or if you are already using it, perhaps Calacanis’ impressive results will encourage you to track the performance of your AdSense units more closely, fine tune their positions and formats, and take your earnings to a new level.

The Truth - Adsense Click Fraud Can NOT be Stopped

2006-08-05T11:52:00.000-07:00

Your probably reading this article because you use Google Adwords to bring traffic to your website, or your a click fraudster yourself, wanting to see what kind of information I have for you. Most of you click fraudsters will think that I have no idea what I am talking about, and that I do not know your methods. Well, trust me buddy, I KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU AND WHAT YOU DO.

If you are new to the click fraud scene, here is an example:

1. Scumbag puts Google Adsense ads on his website.

2. The scumbag then proceeds to cheat Google Adsense by creating false clickthroughs and impressions, in return earning him a pretty nice profit, because he isn't even working on his website, just generating false traffic.

All of you people that run campaigns through Google Adwords are thinking, "This guy has no idea what he is talking about, Google has everything under control and they even state so publicly!"

WOW! What kind of pay per click company would admit that they DO NOT have click fraud under control? I wonder what would happen to their business immediately following that statement.

Estimates say that nearly 20% of all clicks for Adsense are illegitimate. In my honest opinion I believe this number to be around 30-35% from some of the things I have seen.

Alrite, now the big question, how are they doing it?

There are a number of ways that people are cheating, including the 'click groups' from India that click on your ads for you and create big pay checks as long as you pay them their $0.50 an hour so they can buy bread for their family.

But I'm going to show you the technical way that Google Adsense is cheated, not poor people clicking ads. I'm talking about extremely smart programmers that create hitbots to cheat Adsense. And, NO, I'm not talking about that piece of garbage 'CACA' or Clicking Agent that you find on Google. I am talking about PRIVATE programs and scripts that are only used by private groups.

How do these scripts get away undetected you ask?

Simple, let's actually take a look at Google's click fraud protection (This is what I have summed up, I seriously don't believe they have anything other protection because people are still cheating using these methods as you read this article.)

If you actually take a look at Google's Adsense code when it is on your webpage you will find the URL that is used to retrieve ads. (Right-Clck your ad Iframe and click 'View Page Information' or something similar.)

Here is an example of the URL that you will find:

http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-2521202633232871&dt=1124847235453&lmt=1124631699&format=468x60_as&output=html&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yoursite.com%2F&color_bg=ECF8FF&color_text=000000&color_link=0033FF&color_url=0033FF&color_border=DDAAAA&cc=59&u_h=768&u_w=1024&u_ah=738&u_aw=1024&u_cd=32&u_tz=-240&u_java=true

Now let's decode this up a little bit, shall we?

client=ca-pub-2521202633232871 - Your client code, this tells Google who to assign the click-through money to.

dt=1124847235453 - Javascript, if you use the command google_date = new Date(); document.write(google_date.getTime()) --- Which generates 1124847235453.

This shows you the number of milliseconds since midnite January 1, 1970. This is what seems to be Google's biggest automated proxy clicker fraud prevention. Doesn't seem too hard to generate with 2 lines of code now does it?

lmt=1124631699 - The last time your webpage was updated. LMT stands for Last Modified Time, pretty easy Javascript to generate this one too - document.write(document.lastModified); --- Which generates 1124631699.

(Notice I'm skipping a bunch, that's because they are just showing the type of ad, colors, and size that you are using.)

cc=59 - Seems to be some random number based on the screen width, height, and color scheme. I've seen this number go from 20 all the way up to 400. I'm sure they don't use this to reliably track click fraud.

u_h=768 - Height of your screen settings.

u_w=1024 - Width of your screen settings.

u_ah=738 - Your available screen height.

u_aw=1024 - Your available screen width.

u_cd=32 - Color scheme on windows, e.g. 32-bit.

u_tz=-240 - Your monitor refresh rate or something else that isn't important, I've never seen it not -240.

u_java=true - Just seeing if you have java enabled.

There are some other variables that are sometimes in the URL such as 'u_his=' this means how many pages you have visited since you started up your browser. There's also some MIME type checks and how many plugins you have installed, but these variables come up very rarely. I think they are only meant for Netscape/Firefox browsers.

Now that we have 'decoded' the supposed unbeatable Google Adsense code, what do you think about click fraud? You still think it is rare?

After randomizing all the data and sending an automated query to their Adsense URL, all the scumbag has to do is parse out all of Google's click URL's and click one of them, giving him a click through. This can all be easily faked with even a Visual Basic program. A newbie programmer could in-fact cheat Google Adsense without much knowledge.

Alrite you say, they beat the javascript code detection but doesn't Google use cookies so they can't do this?

No, Google does not use cookies for Adsense.

Well what about IP-tracking? Someone can't have that many proxies!

There are click groups that leave these programs running on their computer. They each randomly click each other's URL's automatically. The person running the program doesn't even have to do anything, but he is still contributing to the success of their group and himself.

Does that sound too far-fetched? I am telling you that there are click groups that do this now and have been since the old Linkshare PPC days in 1999. Yes, if you were an advertiser on Linkshare back around 1999-2002, you got RAPED.

And that isn't all. I have read on the internet that there is currently over 100,000 people infected in the United States alone with trojan proxy servers. These proxy servers run on random ports so that Google can't just do a simple port 8080 or 80 check on it to see if it's a proxy. The majority of these proxy servers are used for credit card fraud, but a lot of them are also used to cheat Google Adsense and other pay per click programs. These proxies are at-home users that look like normal dial-up, cable, and dsl users from all across the world, but mainly United States. There is NO WAY to prove that they are a proxy.

Random User-Agent strings is another tactic that is often used by click fraudsters. This makes Google think that a lot of different browsers are clicking the links, just keeping them further from finding out the truth.

On a side note, you may be thinking that the new Yahoo! pay per click program may be the way to go. I checked into their protection and guess what? They are only using ONE of Google's protections and that is the Javascript GetTime. They are still in Beta though and this may change, but who knows?

To the cheaters: The benefits of cheating are short. Eventually you will be caught for what you are doing and maybe even sued by Google. There is a ton of money to be made legally with Adsense and I suggest that you stop cheating. Who am I to tell you to stop? I use to be one of you! Back when I was 13-14 I was making programs like the ones you guys are using now. You guys probably used one of my programs at one time. I am happy to say that those days of mine are all in the past now, and I am making a good amount of money LEGALLY with Adsense and other affiliate programs. Work hard guys and you will reap the benefits 100 times what you make cheating.

To the advertisers: You people that use Google Adwords now see that it is actually not very hard to cheat you out of your money, so be careful and MAKE SURE that you use a click fraud protection script such as ClickDefense. To lower most of your click fraud, just don't put your ads in the Content Network, only stay on Google's sponsored search results. Only Google gets paid when someone clicks the search results sponsored ads and nobody wants to cheat to make Google anymore money do they? Check the stock, it's currently at 279.58 a share.

To summarize my article I just want to state that no one should use this information for cheating Adsense and I am not responsible for your actions if you choose to do so. You will be caught because Google will evolve and get smarter, eventually.

The Sensible Way To Earn Money With Google AdSense!

2006-08-05T11:51:00.000-07:00

Dear friends,

Google AdSense has rapidly gained a status of an independent online business model. Many average people with a little knowledge of HTML are earning a fortune with AdSense.

The AdSense comes under the category of "pay per click affiliate" programs. This means you get paid when someone click on the ad which resides on your website.

There are many reason for the success of the AdSense program. The very first reason is it is launched by Google, the leaders of Search Engines. After establishing themselves in the crowd of Search Engines they had a crown of credibility with them.

The second reason for the popularity lies in the fact that Google is not concerned about the amount of traffic you are getting to your website.

They are more concerned about content. If the content is really good your site will generate visitors over a period of time. This is unlike many other pay per click affiliate programs, which have a condition on the number of visitors you are getting per day, before your application gets approved.

This creates an interesting situation for online entrepreneurs. The more the traffic they generate to their site, the more is the possibility to get the AdSense ad clicked and they get paid.

Now Google also benefits from this. Since AdSense ads are nothing but the same ads from the Google AdWords account holders, Google charges the AdWords account holder of that particular ad which is being clicked and pays a small portion to the webmaster on whose website the AdSense ad resides.

The amount which Google charges the AdWords account holder and pays the AdSense account holder is determined entirely by the online popularity of the given "keyword" for which the ad was written by the AdWords account holder.

This is where the real opportunity has come up for online newcomers. Most people put a lot of energy in finding "high paying" keywords or simply purchase a database of "high paying keywords", create a small website around the keyword, put AdSense code in it and start generating traffic which might click on the ad and expect to get paid high.

But here is the real kicker! The amount which you get paid is dependent of 5 different factors. Some of the factors are out of the control of the webmaster (you).

For example if a keyword phrase pays something around $14 to $15 per click. Most people think that even if they get a 1% click through rate, that is 1 person clicks out of 100 visiting their website, Google will put $14 in my account. Yes it's true, but not always!

The amount which you get paid, depends on which ad gets shown on your website. The ad which gets shown on your website is dependent upon the relevancy and lot more other factors.

The true success with AdSense lies not on targeting only "high paying" keywords, but with focusing on creating highly informative content and getting repeat visitors. Google loves content. If you provide it on your website you will automatically get more visitors and increase the possibility of high click through rate which leads to more income to you and Google.

So, learn to build traffic first and then fine tune your website with AdSense script to start earning immediately. The true success with AdSense is with generating content rich pages and attracting traffic. "High paying keywords" is a secondary factor with AdSense

How to Profit from Knowing the Most Expensive Keywords

2006-08-05T11:49:00.000-07:00

By knowing the most expensive keywords on the internet, you can create websites and web pages based on these keywords. On these sites and pages, you can serve expensive ads and/or promote affiliate offers that reap high bounties when clicked or completed.

The challenge lies in driving traffic to these sites. One way to drive traffic is through search engine optimization, whereby you create a website that ranks highly on the search engines and receive “free” traffic. Or, if you already have an existing well-ranked site, you can create new pages linked from your existing pages. A second way to drive traffic is through online advertising.

With regards to advertising, one key is to understand correlations between keywords. By determining correlations between inexpensive and expensive keywords, you can advertise on the inexpensive keyword (via pay-per-click (PPC) advertising on search engines) to drive traffic to your website that serves ads based on expensive keywords. For instance, advertising on the keyword “painting” ($0.20 keyword), and sending visitors to your site about the related topic “home remodeling” ($2.00 keyword) allows you to profit from the wide spread between the keyword prices of the two correlated keywords.

Likewise there are many opportunities to run banner and other ads through online advertising networks to drive traffic to your website. These ads can run on both “painting” and “home remodeling” websites. The cost of CPM (cost per impression) advertising typically does not reflect the price of the keywords. That is, a banner ad on a “painting” website typically costs the same as a banner ad on a “home remodeling” website. This sharply contrasts the price of PPC advertising on search engines which vary widely based on the keyword.

There are two other ways to profit from knowing the most expensive keywords. The first doesn’t even require you to own or operate a website. In this method, you advertise using inexpensive means (e.g., via pay-per-click advertising on inexpensive keywords or CPM advertising) and direct traffic to high paying affiliate offers. The second method is to set up your own search engine. There are several companies that allow you to easily set up a search engine that serves PPC ads syndicated from Google, Overture or other PPC search engine networks. Once you create your engine, you can drive traffic directly to your PPC results, and get paid every time someone clicks on one of the results. Likewise, on your search engine’s home page, you can include many links to expensive keywords, so that when someone clicks on it, the engine shows expensive ads based on those keywords.

Understanding keyword pricing is critical to the online advertising, PPC search engine and affiliate marketing businesses – businesses that combine for over $25 billion a year in revenues. With a market of this size, generating substantial profits, if you have the right information, is really not that challenging.

The AdSense Formula for Making Money

2006-08-05T11:48:00.000-07:00

I often get asked what the secret is to making money with Google's AdSense program. This often comes from people who are dreaming of setting up websites chock full of high-paying keywords for particular niche subjects and then sitting back and watching the money roll in. "What's the magic formula?" they ask me. If they're non-technical, I point them straight to my book, Make Easy Money with Google, and assure them that they'll learn everything they need from it. They may think it's hard, but it's not.

But what about the technical people? By this I mean the people who've already set up a blog or website, who have registered domain names, who are comfortable with basic Internet terminology and concepts. What is the "AdSense formula"?

The only AdSense formula that you need to know is this:

earnings = number of clicks * average price per click

This is what I call the Fundamental AdSense Formula because you can derive almost every AdSense "secret" directly or indirectly from this formula. Do you want to earn more with AdSense? You have two ways of doing it:

1. Increase the number of clicks, and/or

2. Increase the average price per click

Your earnings will only go up if you do one or the other, and ideally both. It's an obvious formula, yes, but it's amazing how many people lose sight of it in their quest for increased AdSense earnings.

Increasing the Number of AdSense Clicks

Increasing the number of times the ads on your site or blog are clicked is the most obvious strategy. There are two general strategies you can follow:

1. Increase the traffic to the site, and/or

2. Adjust the ads to make them more "clickable"

Getting traffic is hard and takes time, so don't look at it as a quick fix. The best way to get traffic is to provide useful, unique content and to rank highly in search engine rankings for keywords related to that content. In other words, use standard search engine optimization techniques. DO NOT "buy" traffic or use "link farms" or other dubious techniques. Other tips for getting traffic:

1. Publish articles, even free ones, with links back to your site.

2. Include a link to your site in the signature at the bottom of your emails or in any forum postings you make (if the forum allows it).

3. Participate in forums/groups related to the content of your site or blog. The key is to participate, not lurk, and don't just post messages promoting your site.

4. Add comments (relevant ones only, please) to other blogs, you can usually link back to yours. (This won't help your search engine rankings, but it may allow others who are reading those comments to find your own site.)

5. Syndicate your content (trivial if you have a blog) and make sure that the content is registered with syndication aggregators.

6. List your site in relevant directories.

Adjusting the ads is something you can do almost immediately:

1. Position the ads on the page in order to make them more noticeable. Google even publishes a helpful heat map (see https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/static.py?page=tips.html ) for AdSense publishers.

2. Choose the best AdSense ad format that works for your site.

3. Change the ad colors either to make the ads blend in with your site or to make them stand out. Again, it varies depending on the site.

Whatever you do, DO NOT ENTICE VISITORS TO CLICK THE ADS. Google is very strict about this, see the AdSense program policies (found at https://www.google.com/adsense/policies ) for the details.

Increasing the Average AdSense Price Per Click

Increasing the average price per click you receive from AdSense is the other strategy for increasing your overall AdSense earnings. You can do this by:

1. Carefully targeting your content, and/or

2. Filtering out and avoiding low-paying ads

Content targeting isn't just about creating relevant, unique content. It's also making sure that that content is written to target the higher-paying keywords associated with a given topic. This means:

1. Figuring out which keyword variations for that topic pay more. Often the more specialized variations and phrases pay more than the "generic" terms.

2. Ensuring that the keyword density of the content favors the higher-paying keyword variations. See http://www.MakeEasyMoneyWithGoogle.com/vioxx-lawsuit.html for an example of well-targeted ads due to appropriate keyword density.

And to reduce the occurrence of lower-paying ads, consider these two strategies:

1. Use AdSense's competitive filter mechanism to screen out the ads that you don't want.

2. Show fewer ads on a page. The fewer ads you show, the more the higher-paying ads get displayed and clicked.

Many publishers also report that their earnings increase if they remove ads completely from pages with few or no clicks. Again, the "less is more" strategy favors the higher-paying ads.

There's No Magic

As you can see, there's no magic involved to increasing your AdSense earnings. The Fundamental AdSense Formula is easy to understand, but that doesn't mean it's easy to apply the formula. It takes time and effort to do it, just like most things.

How to Increase Your Adsense Revenue

2006-08-05T11:46:00.000-07:00

If you're a webmaster, you've probably heard about Google's Adsense. Perhaps you're even earning from it already. This article will show you a method to increase your Adsense revenue dramatically.

Google's Adsense allows webmasters to place links from Google's Adwords advertisers on their webpages by inserting a special code. When a visitor clicked on a link, the webmaster gets a cut of the profit Google made from the advertiser. The unique feature about Adsense is that the links it generates on your webpage are relevant to your page content. Thus, your keywords and topics become very important determinant for the type of links that will appear on your webpage.

There are only two factors that determine how much a webmaster can make from Adsense. The first factor is the number of visitors who click on the links. The more people who clicked on the links, the more you make. Naturally, this means that the more targetted traffic to the website, the more you'll make. This is where most webmasters focus their efforts on.

The second factor is the value of the links they clicked on. Here's where you can make a great difference to your earnings from Adsense and is our focus in this article.

Let's take a look at how this works:

Suppose you have 1000 visitors to your website and you get 2% conversion, that is 20 people clicked on your Adsense links. Let's assume that your Adsense links pay you only 50 cents per click. So you earn $10 dollars.

Now let's see how much this same traffic will make for you if your Adsense links pay you $5 per click. For the same number of clicks, you make $100 dollars. That's a ten-fold increased in revenue!

Well, that makes sense, you said, but how am going to determine what type of links appear on my webpages?

Good questions!

Here's where you'll need to do a little research and here's a tool to help you do just that.

Go over to http://www.pixelfast.com/overture/ and you'll get a tool that shows you how much each keyword is worth. While this tool is for Overture's keywords, we can safely assume that this reflects the keyword values for Googles Adwords as well. Once you've found the keywords with high monetary values, you can optimize your webpages for them. This will increase your chances of having these high value keyword links appearing on your webpages.

Some people have actually made extensive researches on Google's top paying keywords and found that one or two keywords are worth almost $100! However, generally most keywords are valued at between 50 cents and $5 dollars. Some keywords like "internet marketing" may fetch up to $7 dollars and "mortgage" pays up to $10 dollars.

These values may change from time to time but they generally hover around these levels. Naturally, this information is priceless and you'll have to pay to get it. I feel it is worth every cent you paid for it. You can check it out at http://theselfimprovementsite.com/links/top-paying-keywords.html.

And there you have it! A single factor that can radically increase your Adsense revenue!

Making Google Adsense Pay

2006-08-05T11:43:00.000-07:00

From what I am reading in online forums and discussion boards, Google adsense is still ruling the roost, in terms of popularity, for those wanting to start earning money from home.

I personally, have Google adsense ads on most of my websites and I find that even with the lowest of daily impressions an income can be earned. Ok you won't make a fortune with a few hits per day but if you are constantly building websites and optimizing them for adsense then the income can REALLY add up.

A few of my most recent websites are only getting 10-20 impressions per day but really high click through rates. Some days I can earn $2-$3 per site for a couple of clickthroughs from these low traffic sites. This denotes HIGH interest from advertisers paying big bucks to Google for certain keywords.

Unbelievably, many entrepreneurs are earning six figure incomes per month from adsense revenue alone.

The smart earners are building site after site then building out the ones that show potential.

The idea is to set up sites in relatively unknown markets but also balanced with some interest in the advertising field. For instance, if you choose a niche with little or no interest from advertisers then the income will reflect this lack of interest, ie. no one will be paying google for advertising in your niche or they will be paying very little and you will earn pittance per click thru.

One site of mine in an obscure niche gets hundreds of unique visitors per day and loads of adsense clickthrus, yet the income is only a dollar or two daily. This tells me that advertisers are paying very little, probably in and around 10 cents, for keywords in my niche.

At the other end of the spectrum you DO NOT want to choose a niche with so much competition that you cannot get any traffic at all. The "work at home", "home business", "internet marketing" niches are not good examples for a newcomer to make money from Google adsense. The competition is just too great. If you DO already have an established home business site then by all means add some adsense ads to your site.

Like everything else I have done online I have learnt through trial and error, Google adsense has been no different. If you don't put the ads out there then you will never know the potential.

I do get some clickthrus from my home business sites and the click thru rates can be anything from 10-15 cents to $1-2. Not bad!

Google adsense is definitely here to stay for the forseeable future and we can all see why. If you have any vision at all you can see the potential in earning from Google adsense and exactly why it has become so popular.

Internet Mortgage Leads

2006-07-31T07:36:00.000-07:00

Mortgage brokers know all too well that the mortgage industry is highly competitive. For a mortgage broker or loan officer, finding the best leads that deliver the best results is the key to getting ahead of the competition.

If you are a mortgage broker and you are looking for high quality leads, the Internet is one of the best venues to find prospective clients. There are a number of Internet mortgage lead companies selling all kinds of leads including live transfer, real time, and recycled. However, not all of these mortgage lead companies offer good, quality leads.

To find a good Internet mortgage lead generation company, a mortgage broker must invest time and effort to research the numerous companies available today. Before you invest in any of these Internet mortgage lead companies, you must consider some important points.

First, find out the source of the company’s leads. To ensure that the leads you purchase are fresh, go with a lead company that owns and operates its own website where they obtain their leads. Some companies buy their leads from other lead generation companies and affiliates. Leads from these companies may already be a few days old by the time you buy them.

Another important point to consider is the cost. Choose a company that offers a low minimum deposit prerequisite when opening an account. You should also inquire about their return policy for low-quality leads. You should be able to ask for a refund in case the leads you purchase are not fresh or are low quality.

Look for a mortgage lead company that has a good customer support system. Compare the various points of each lead company and choose the one that best fits your needs and your budget. Do your research so that you can find the best mortgage lead options.

Internet Mortgage Leads provides detailed information on Internet Mortgage Leads, Aged Internet Mortgage Leads, Exclusive Internet Mortgage Leads, Internet Mortgage Lead Companies and more. Internet Mortgage Leads is affiliated with Home Mortgage Buyers.

7 Tips For the New Network Markete

2006-07-31T07:32:00.000-07:00

Oh, how exciting. You’ve signed the contract. You paid for the kit. Now, once that kit arrives you’ll be set to go. You have such big plans. You have such wonderful ideas.

The kit comes at the end of the next week. Gosh, what took so long? You’ve now committed to a volunteer project once a week. You’ve also committed to a new carpool for your child. You actually did talk to two people in the last week and both of them said no. Maybe you can get your money back for the kit. This isn’t really what you want to do anyway.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Here are 7 tips for the new network marketer to help get the ball rolling:

1. Read and learn about the company. How old is the company? How was the company started? Where are corporate headquarters located? How many distributors does the company have? Who owns the company? What can you learn about that person, or family?

2. Read and learn about the product line. What products are offered? How often are new products introduced? Are there catalogs? How does a distributor order? And how does a customer order? Is there a money back guarantee?

3. Join any online communities you can with other distributors from your company. Sometimes you’ll find team boards, or team groups. Sometimes you’ll find company boards, or company groups. There are tons of work at home message boards out on the internet. Find those that have boards with other distributors from your company. Join them and read what other distributors are saying. Start developing a support network within the distributor circle of your company.

4. Go to either the local book store or a used book store and find a couple of books about business and/or leadership. I really like John Maxwell. He’s written several books on leadership. Another favorite of mine is “Love Is The Killer App” by Tim Sanders. The entire book is about networking,

5. Create a simple business plan. Or at the very least write down both your short term and long term goals. A business plan and goals are your roadmap. Almost no one leaves their home for a cross country trip without some sort of map. If you’ve never been in business before, it’s like going cross country. Without a map, you’re bound to get lost.

6. Sign up for a couple of newsletters or ezines. These can either be about business in general, about network marketing or about your specific industry. If you plan to market online, join one or two newsletters that will help you learn about marketing online. If you plan to host home parties, join one or two newsletters about party plan. Regardless of company affiliation, you need to find hostesses, give presentations, introduce products, etc.

7. Put together your first product order. Even before your kit arrives, you can put together your first product order. Order those sales aids you’ll need also, whether it be catalogs, or information sheets, or samples. Order the supplies you’ll need to sell the product and to talk to others about joining the company.

With these 7 steps completed before your kit ever arrives, the kit will only be a formality, not the starting point. You will have already immersed yourself into your new business and will already be working towards those first goals you’ve set. As you begin sponsoring others, share these 7 steps with your new team members. You’ll develop a team that begins working the day they say yes.
