Money Making Ideas

Early I told you that I was warned by Google AdSense Team that some of my blog posts have been formatted to look like AdSense ads and Google gave me three days to fix that or I'll will not be able to display AdSense ads forever in this blog. I made the changes and after three days nothing happen, so I must have past that. But, yesterday, just after 5 minute I published a new post, all my AdSense ads gone. I think the Google AdSense team automatically detected the new post was against their policies, so immediately remove my AdSense ads from this blog. But I swear the post isn't against any of their policies. I then deleted the post to see whether the ads will come back. No, still blank in the space after hours of waiting. I think this simply means I can no longer show AdSense ads on this blog. AdSense has been a great source of revenue for this blog and I have lost it. I started to thinking to retire this blog. Stop working on it and let the blog falls from No. 1 ranking for th...

Well, it was a bad news to me. It was a warning from Google AdSense team. They said when they were reviewing my AdSense account they found violations of AdSense policies on my pages such as http://moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com. They then further explained that I cannot implement AdSense ads in a manner that disguises the ads such as formatting neighboring content to look similar to the ads, or by making ads look like games or forum threads. Additionally, images cannot be placed close to the ads. And I was given 3 days to make the necessary changes. If I choose not to make the changes I will no long allowed to display AdSense ads but my account will still remain active. After finished reading the email, I really feeling worry and confuse. How come I can against so many policies since I have read their policies and add the Adsense ads carefully? This made me headache a while. I browsed my own pages to find out what really went wrong. I thought back what types of content pages I have create...

The quality free website tracking tool, Google Analytics is now integrated with AdSense. This function started to roll out by Google last week. It will soon be available to all the AdSense publishers. Integrating your AdSense account with a new or existing Analytics account will allow you to get access to more in-depth data so that you can make better decision on improving your AdSense performance. A great feature that I think it will effectively help publishers to make more money from AdSense is the 'Referring sites' report. It will tell you what source of traffic that earns you the most AdSense revenue. By knowing the sources of traffic that work well with AdSense, you can concentrate on getting the traffic from those sources and see your AdSense income goes up from time to time. I think this feature is going to be very useful to web publishers especially those bloggers who get lot of traffic and done proper AdSense optimization but still make little AdSense revenue. The rea...

It has been over two years I used AdSense on this blog to make money online. I still remember when I first applied to become a Google AdSense Publisher; I was actually rejected by Google. I got approval only on the second application after I done some changes to the site that I used it to apply AdSense. And recently my friend started an anti-virus blog, I helped him to send an application to Google for opening an AdSense publisher account and he got his AdSense account approved within 10 hours. With these experiences, I think I can share some info helpful for you to get your AdSense account approved smoothly and start earning online with AdSense Getting an AdSense account to approve isn't difficult actually if you know clearly their program policies. Once you have set up your site or blog with content added in, you can read the Google AdSense policies here to see whether your site or blog comply with each of their rules and terms.

Every website and blog are different in term of content, design and structure. However, when it comes to optimizing Google AdSense ads, most of the web publishers and bloggers apply the similar techniques.

Those who have got nice click through rates and made a good AdSense income, congratulation to you! But, for those publishers who still get a poor AdSense performance after implementing the same technique, what is the reason? Below are a few of the possible reasons why your AdSense site or blog doesn't performance as you expected.

I've been notified by Joel Comm today that Google has made a little changes to their AdSense ads to reduce the number of accidental clicks of AdSense ads. AdSense Contextual ads consists of four elements: A title A description An URL and A backgroud (the surrounding areas for the ads) Before the changes, the visitors can click any of the above elements of the AdSense ad to visit the advertiser site. But after the new changes, visitors can now only reach the advertisers sites by clicking only the title or the URL of the ads, the ad description and the surrounding areas of the ad can no longer be clicked. I pointed my mouse to Joel's AdSense ads when reading his blog this morning. Yes, it is true, the description and the background are no longer clickable. Now the question is will this new changes affect the revenue of the AdSense publishers. I believe they will. Probably a very small part of AdSense earning of many publishers are coming from accidental clicks of AdSense ads by v...

I have read Google AdSense Policies several times and I have to admit that I am not a good reader. Today Sushith from http://brokencodes.blogspot.com commented on my blog stating that I have made an AdSense mistake by placing a label "Topics" above an AdSense ads link unit. After reading this comment I quickly went to www.google.com/adsense to read again the AdSense policies. And yes, Google doesn't mention about label. Here's what Google said: Publishers participating in the AdSense program may not place misleading labels above Google ad units - for instance, ads may be labeled "Sponsored Links" but not "Favorite Sites" Well, it seems that Sushith is right. I have made an AdSense mistake that can lead to my account being disable. So I decided to remove the "topic" label placed at the top left sidebar of this blog to comply AdSense policies fully. You may have spent a hard time optimizing your AdSense ads to make the most money from AdSen...

You may have heard a lot about Google bans AdSense accounts for the reason of invalid ad clicks previously. And now Google is taking a further step to close AdSense publishers accounts if Google thinks that the AdSense publishers websites aren't suitable to their AdSense content network. A number of AdSense publishers has reported that they received emails from Google stating that they have an unsuitable business model and their AdSense account will be disabled within 2 weeks. This is a shocking news to me. The affected AdSense publishers will not lose any AdSense revenue as Google will pay all the earning the publishers have earned. So far there is only emails communication with the involved AdSense published, Google has not officially announced about this matter. All those affected publishers are either doing AdSense Arbitrage or building sites that are specially for AdSense (MFA sites). AdSense arbitrage means getting traffic/visitors from Google Adwords PPC advertising p...
