A few payments announcements from Adsense

We'd like to notify you about two issues related to November checks and phone verification.

November checks
If you were issued a check at the end of November, you may have noticed the following message printed on the paystub:

CREDIT NOTE -VAT OVERCHARGE BETW.
1 JAN 2004 & 22/11/07 IF YOU NEED
DETAILS OF THIS VAT PLEASE EMAIL
GOOGLE@BDOSX.IE WITH CUSTOMER REF


However, the paystub should have read:

THIS CHECK IS FOR YOUR EARNINGS AS
PART OF THE GOOGLE ADSENSE PROGRAM.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE
EMAIL ADSENSE-SUPPORT@GOOGLE.COM


Please be assured that the November payment you received is for your AdSense earnings and is not a VAT credit note. In addition, this printing error will not affect your ability to deposit your AdSense earnings as usual.

Phone verification
We're currently experiencing difficulty with our phone verification system, but our engineers are working as quickly as they can to resolve the issue. If you see a prompt in your account asking you to verify your phone number, we ask that you hold off on attempting to do so for the time being. We'll be sure to post a follow-up here on the blog when we have more information for you.

We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion caused by these two issues. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.

Tips Adsense - Maximize ad space with multiple ad units

Multiple ad units can help optimize your performance by leveraging our large inventory of ads. You can place up to three ad units per page (in addition to one link unit and two referral units per product). Remember that the best way to measure the effect of multiple ad units is to examine the impact on your overall earnings. Multiple ad units may prove particularly successful for:
  • Pages with lots of text, requiring users to scroll down the page.
  • Forum or message board pages, particularly within threads.
  • Pages where only smaller ad formats (such as the 125 x125 button) will fit.
Tip for maximizing multiple ad units: make sure that the ad unit with the best placement on the page is the ad unit that appears first in your HTML code. This will help ensure that your prime ad real estate is occupied by the ads that place highest in the auction and will generate the most revenue for you.

e-gold Blocks Account Logins From Exploited Computers


e-gold Users now have additional protection against "phishing attacks", thanks to a ground breaking upgrade to its Account Sentinel™ (a.k.a. AccSent(tm)) arsenal of account access security features.

Using DNS blacklist data published by well known third parties, AccSent now blocks account access from IPs identified as open proxies, insecure web servers, or otherwise open to exploitation by criminals. For the sake of brevity, e-gold refers to such blacklisted IPs as "blips".

As always, the AccSent advantage is that e-gold Users need not take any action - or even understand what an IP address, an open proxy, or a phishing attack is - to immediately benefit from this innovative new feature. However, as powerful as AccSent is, the best protection against phishing and other criminal attacks is user education. For this reason e-gold urges its Users to carefully read and practice the Security Recommendations published on the e-gold.com website.

99 Things You Should Know About Adsense

1) AdSense Earning = Impression-count x Click-though-rate x Cost-per-click x smart-pricing-factor.
2) Impression count is basically referring to your traffic. It means the number of times AdSense block is displayed.
3) Click-through-rate (CTR) is ratio of clicks per impressions. It can range from 0.1% to 30%, but most commonly around 1% to 10%.
4) Cost-per-click (CPC) is the earning you get per click. While traditionally it refers to the amount advertisers pay for each click, it can also mean the amount publishers get for each click.
5) Smart-pricing is AdSense method to determine how valuable clicks from your site is worth. If clicks on your site doesn’t provide good value to advertisers, e.g. from visitors’ geo-location that seldom translate to sales, you will only get a fraction of the supposed CPC.
6) Apply for AdSense account via blogger.com for faster approval.
7) Once you get your AdSense publisher code, you can put it any of your websites without requiring further approval.
8) Read and reread Google AdSense Program Policies and Terms and Conditions.
9) Don’t click on your own ads, or ask people to click, even if you are using proxies.
10) Don’t use click-bots.
11) Don’t encourage your visitors to click on ads.
12) Don’t put competitor contextual ads that look exactly like adsense on the same page as your AdSense, for example: Yahoo Publisher Network, Clicksor. Non-contextual ads are ok.
13) Don’t put your ads on objectionable material, e.g. adult sites, gambling sites, mp3, etc.
14) Basically, don’t cheat AdSense. Google will catch you, sooner or later.
15) Viewing your on website will not get you banned. Just make sure you don’t click on the ads.
16) However, repeatedly reload your page to jack up page impressions can get you banned.
17) When in doubt don’t hesitate to contact the AdSense team. They are very helpful.
18) Choose a high paying niche without too much competition.
19) You can try highest paying keywords from cwire.org, but know before-hand that you’ll face very fierce competitions.
20) Use Overture Bid Tool and Search Engine Keyword Tool to find suitable keyword.
21) Consider signing-up for AdWords and create a mini campaign. It can help you to understand the working of AdSense.
22) Target a specific audience. Get Google AdWords.
23) Put your targeted-keyword on Page Title.
24) Repeat the keywords in your content.
25) Put emphasis around your keywords by using HTML tags like

,

, , , e.g. AdSense Tips .

26) Get domain name that contains your targeted keyword.
27) Submit your website to directories for inclusion, e.g. dmoz.org, yahoo directories
28) Submit your URL to search engines for crawling.
29) Create and submit your sitemaps to Google Sitemap (sitemap.xml) and Yahoo (urllist.txt)
30) Google is not the only search engine. Optimize for different engines as well. You are very likely to face less competition than in Google.
31) Invest for original fresh content. Write or pay for contents regularly.
32) Use copyscape.com to find content theft. You invest for your content. Don’t let it be taken by unscrupulous webmasters.
33) Article marketing is one of the best way to deliver traffic to your site. Write and submit articles to article-submission sites. Include short summary and hyperlinks to your website in the author information box.
34) Don’t use objectionable methods to draw visitors to your site; buying traffics, spyware, hidden-texts, page cloaking etc will get your AdSense account terminated.
35) New visitors have higher chance to click on the ads than regular visitors, thus higher CTR (click-through rate).
36) Regular visitors have higher chance to recommend your site to others.
37) Search engines are where most of your new visitors come from. Learn a bit about Search Engine Optimization, or pay people to do it. Doing it yourself will save yourself from troubles created by not-so-honorable SEO (Search Engine Optimizer).
38) Don’t create mirrors. These are sites with different URLs but same contents. It hurts search engine ranking.
39) Its easier to create many websites with low earning than few websites with high earning.
40) Forum generally have high impressions count, but very low CTR.
41) CTR isn’t everything. If your CTR is high but gives low conversion rate for the advertiser site, it will trigger AdSense smart pricing.

44) Use Google Analytics to see your website statistics. It can help you optimize your site.
45) Google AdSense Heatmap works. Just above your main content is the best position to put your AdSense block
46) Forum sites have different Forum AdSense Heatmap. Best positions for AdSense for forums are: on the left panel, after the first post, and just below the last post before the footer.
47) Forum is interactive medium. Be sensitive to your visitors concerns.
48) Try 300×250 medium rectangle, 336×280 large rectangle, or 160×600 wide skyscraper ad formats. These are the best performing AdSense ad formats.
49) Choose colors that blend with your content.
50) Wrap the AdSense block around your content.
51) dont put images next or above your AdSense block it can get you banned
52) Use channels to track the performance of different format, colors, and positions.

54) AdSense have both CPM (cost per thousand impressions) and CPC (cost per click) ads, and will choose the one it thinks can perform better.
55) Both image ads and text ads can be either CPM or CPC.
56) Put link unit ads. They can add to the bottom line.
57) Try Google Search unit. They provide value to your visitor while adding to your bottom line.
58) Put in lots of efforts in creating contents and promoting your website. AdSense is not a get-rich-quick scheme.
59) Clear low-value links from your site. You want your visitors to exit through the ads. Put only links that are really useful for the visitors.
60) Search “AdSense Tips” on Google. Most webmasters continuously try to optimize their AdSense and many are more than willing to share their result.
61) If you blog, Darren has some tips for you.
62) Inside AdSense is official AdSense blog, where you can find latest developments about AdSense.
63) You can get help of other AdSense pulishers at AdSense Help Group.
64) If you are serious about making money from AdSense, get Joel’s AdSense Secrets.
65) Don’t put too many ad blocks on your site. Find out the highest CTR block and remove the others. Few clicks on the 1$ ads are better than many clicks on the 3-cent-ads.
66) Experiment, experiment, and experiment. You can never stop trying for new ad format. Even if you think you can’t improve anymore, one slight change might increase your earning significantly.
67) Remove the “Advertise on this site” from your AdSense block until your site is big enough to attract real advertisers. This will help to clear off many MFA (made-for-adsense) sites. You can disable it from AdSense account setting.
68) Use AdSense Preview Tool to test the ads that will appear on your site. You can click on ads in the AdSense preview tool, as the advertisers are not charged from it.
69) AdSense uses geo-location to deliver advertisement. So, what you see on your site might not be what your visitors see. Use AdSense Preview Tool to view your AdSense advertisement displayed for visitors from other places.
70) Use AdSense Competitive Ads Filter to remove scrapper sites ads. Scrapper sites are sites without real content. They are either link farms, content theft, or meta search engine.
71) Use AdSense Competitive Ads Filter to remove irrelevant ads.
72) AdsBlackList.com have good list of URLs to block. Try it.
73) Try variations of AdSense colors, format, position on different pages to make it more unpredictable for your visitors.
74) Learn some CSS.
75) If you are putting multiple ads block on your website: put most clicked block to appear first in the HTML. Higher position in HTML = higher paying ads. You can do this using CSS.
76) Try to put contents on different subject topics. If it can draw visitors, write more on that topic.
77) If you have dynamic pages, use htaccess rewrite rule to make it appear as static, e.g. http://www.website.com/99-google-adsense-tips.html instead of http://www.website.com/?p=6.
78) Validate your site HTML and CSS.
79) Break your long articles to few short articles; this way the users are exposed to the ads for more times.
80) Keep each article focused on one topic.
81) Watch your statistics and pay attention to articles that bring in visitors.
82) Write more articles within the subject that attract visitors.
83) Web-savvy visitors are less inclined to click on ads.
84) Have patience. You need time to build the traffic, and to optimize it.
85) Think long-term. Analise what your visitors need, provide value and good experience to visitors.
86) Consider buying websites. If you do it right, you can get back your investment in a relatively short time.
87) Watch your AdSense earning. Notify AdSense Team if you find anything suspicious. Your competitors might try to sabotage your account, or your well-meaning friend keep on clicking on the ads thinking they are helping you.
88) Use Google AdSense section targeting to help AdSense deliver more relevant ads.
89) Use AdSense Alternate Ads in case if AdSense can’t find any relevant ads.
90) Use rotating color ads. It keeps your visitors from getting AdSense blind.
91) Try other contextual advertising networks too. Yahoo Publisher Network is still in beta and only available in U.S., or you can try Clicksor, Bidvertising, etc...
92) You can put your clickbank, amazon, or other affiliate links on the same page with AdSense. You can also put other advertising network, so long as it is not contextual ads. Try Chitika, and disable the contextual ads option.
93) If you don’t follow the Terms and Conditions, your AdSense account will be disabled and you’ll get banned for life.
94) If you didn’t do anything wrong and your AdSense account is disabled: write them a polite and professional email, be patient and be persistent. Offer them your server logs to prove your innocence.
95) Spread the links to your website: put it on your email signature, put comment on blogs, participate in your niche forums.
96) Promote your articles in social bookmarking sites: del.icio.us, digg, reddit are good start.
97) Provide Email a Friend option to visitors.
98) Familiarize yourself with AdSense earning report. It can help you determine where your money is from, and optimize accordingly.
99) Offer newsletters for visitors. It give you chance to get the visitors back regularly.

55 Ways to Make Money Online

  1. Adbrite - Sell space on your site for text ads
  2. Amazon aStore - Easily create a store or shopping section on your site instead of sending your visitors to Amazon. Amazon handles the shopping cart and fulfillment.
  3. Amazon Seller - Sell your stuff on Amazon
  4. Amazon Affiliate Program - Using your existing site, sell anything you can find on Amazon
  5. Associated Content - If you write a story, how-to, rant, etc. you can submit it to them and they will pay you $3-$20 per article if they like it
  6. Azoogleads - Another ad program. They do have some decent companies lined up as advertisers. You provide space, they'll provide an ad.
  7. BidVertiser - PPC (pay per click) program with a low $10 payout amount.
  8. Bitwine - If you are an expert or even mildly knowledgeable on something, Bitwine provides a way for you to set a per minute rate and charge people to talk to you in a private meeting space. Bitwine is currently in "beta" so they are waiving fees which at some point will most likely be a % of your earnings. This sounds similar to Ether, which is a service we discussed in July.
  9. Bravenet - These guys offer a ton of services for webmasters and blog owners. Although I feel like I was spammed for a while, it has ceased and they'll pay you $1 for each person you send over Blish - Whether you're a company with thousands of digital (downloadable) products, or you've written an ebook or some code, Blish offers you a place to sell that content.
  10. Blog - Start a blog and consistently write excellent content. With good ad placement, you may make some money.
  11. Break.com - Upload your videos and pictures all day. If they like them and place them on their homepage, they will pay you $400 for original videos (you know, snowboarding off a house onto a trampoline and breaking your arm, etc) and up to $2000 for short films. They also have other random contests that pay out $50 a picture.
  12. Business Opportunities Blog - I am adding this because I am a subscriber to their site and I see ideas everyday that could result in making money. A lot of the ideas pertain to online businesses. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur, it's a good reference.
  13. CafePress - You provide a design, they'll toss it on a T-Shirt, Hat, etc. No upfront costs. Get a free online shop and promote your products on your website.
  14. CelltradeUSA - Refer your visitors to CelltradeUSA, they offer an affiliate program now. In short, if people need to get out of a cell phone contract, cell trade helps them by matching them with someone that wants to enter into a phone contact without all the fees.
  15. Chitika - Their eMiniMalls service has shown great results for many Bloggers and site owners. You choose a keyword and they show relevant products on your site using a pretty unique interface.
  16. Clickbank - Another Affiliate Program site with 10,000+ products to advertise
  17. Clickbooth - Clickbooth is a site that blog owners or site owners can join to place Cost Per Action ads on their site. It has a good base of advertisers and is similar to Commission Junction or Linkshare.
  18. ClicknWork - Get paid $5-$150 per hour for basically doing freelance work on a per-assignment basis. You have to pass a pretty tough test to get in.
  19. Clicksor - These are the guys that generate contextual ads on sites that show up when you hover over a double-underlined word.
  20. Commission Junction - If you have a site, you can join Commission Junction. Once enrolled for free, you can choose companies whose ads are pertinent to your site. Companies have the ultimate say on working with you. Their are easily over 1,000 companies to choose from here.
  21. CreamAid - For blogs only, advertisers provide you with a topic and you write about it on your site. To do this, you have to install a flash widget into your blog post. The more people you bring into the conversation through the widget, the more you get paid. It's difficult to explain.
  22. eefoof - Think of it as YouTube + Flickr + Music. You add original content and they pay you based on the visitors you attract.
  23. Ether - If you are an expert on something, Ether provides a way for people to pay you to talk about it in a one-on-one setting. If you want to charge $250/hr, that's fine. You have to do all the advertising so you should have a blog or site already established.
  24. eBay - Come on, you know what this is.
  25. eBay Stores - If you have a real store and want to sell your stuff online, this is a decent option to get you started.
  26. ELance - Name gives it away. Programmers, Codes, Web Designers, Writers, Editors, can look for freelance opportunities.
  27. Feedvertising - This is an arm of Text Link Ads and is currently only good for Wordpress 2.0 Users. This does me no good currently, but as you can guess, they place ads in your feed(s).
  28. Feedburner - Not only are they the best place to house your feeds, they will also add ads to your feed and website. You get paid per impression.
  29. Google Adsense - Come on, you don't need an explanation. These ads are all over the place. Google displays relevant ads based on your site's content
  30. Google Adwords - Create simple text ads and choose keywords that determine when they are displayed. This is where the Adsense Content comes from. You do not need a site for this.
  31. H3.com - Get paid to fill jobs. Commissions range from $50-$5,000. It all depends on how tough the job is to fill and how desperate the hiring company is. This is another one that's tough to explain.
  32. Indeed.com - Add their job board to your site. They then post jobs based on the geographic location of visitors and the position types you pre-select. I tried it and I they continually report that I sent 0 visitors and I know that's not right. Nevertheless, I may have an isolated problem so they make the list.
  33. InnerSell - If you have a customer that wants to buy something you cannot sell, you can sell the lead here.
  34. Jellyfish - This is a shopping site that pays you a percentage of the purchases made by people you refer. They are not part of a wider affiliate program so you do it direct.
  35. Jigsaw - It's a pretty flaky model but if you have a Rolodex full of good contacts, you can sell them here. I can't make sense of it but it looks like you get $0.10 per profile.
  36. KarmaOne - They are basically a recruiting website. If you fill one of their jobs by finding a good candidate, you'll get paid anywhere from $50-$12,000. It all depends on how desperate the hiring company is.
  37. LinkShare.com - If you have a site, you can join Linkshare. Once enrolled for free, you can choose companies whose ads are pertinent to your site. Companies have the ultimate say on working with you. Like Commission Junction, there are a ton of companies waiting to evaluate your site.
  38. LoudLaunch - This service has not officially launched yet but it's something to watch. I first learned about this on Micro Persuasion and the consensus seems to be that it is similar to Review Me (which is on this list).
  39. Microsoft Adcenter - Bid on keywords and Microsoft places your created ads then they are searched for. This is similar to Google Adwords. You do not need a site for this.
  40. Overstock.com - Sell your stuff on Overstock.com
  41. Pageflakes - This is a company that developed a user-defined Ajax homepage to show feeds, flickr photos, and a ton of other things. Think of it as a replacement for your Google Homepage. Anyway - they'll pay you $1 per referral that you send over. They are not part of a wider affiliate program so you do it direct. This one is pretty simple.
  42. Pay Per Post - I don't agree with this model entirely but they have advertisers that will pay you to write about their products on your blog.
  43. Pheedo - If you have an RSS feed, run it through Pheedo. Like Feedburner, they can include ads into your feed and if you really become large, advertisers will pay a premium for you to show their ads.
  44. Rent-A-Coder - As I type this, there are 2,299 requests on this site. These requests are opportunities for coders to earn money. Take on a project, get it done and get paid. I like this concept because Rent-A-Coders doesn't get paid a thing until you do therefore it is in their best interest to keep you busy.
  45. ReviewMe - In order to participate, you must have a blog and it has to be active. Companies go to ReviewMe to advertise a product and ReviewMe asks their members to write a review of the product in exchange for cash. In regards to ethics, ReviewMe mandates that the blogger/site owner indicate that they are being compensated to write the review AND the advertiser cannot insist on a positive review. This is the opposite of other similar services that don't mandate trustworthy behavior. Ultimately the goal is to spread the word honestly. You can expect to earn $20 - $200 per review that you write.
  46. Revver - I have no idea how I missed this on the first list. You basically upload your video to Revver and they attach an ad to it. You get 50% of what the ad makes. If any of you have been on YouTube or other video sites, you can easily understand that some videos, even bad ones at times, go viral and thousands of people see it, and your ad! If you want to see a sample of this, here is a link to Revver's ' most watched ' page.
  47. Shareasale - I've never really worked with them but I do have an account. They are similar to Commission Junction and Linkshare however they seem to have lower tiered companies with advertising offers.
  48. Shoemoney - This is a blog that can teach you a ton on making money online. I've spent hours reading his old stuff.
  49. Shopping.com - Add widgets to your site that display products based on keywords. For the ultra-skilled, you can even customize the entire user experience by tapping into their API. I guarantee you've seen sites with this installed and you never realized it.
  50. Software Judge - They will pay you up to $50 to review software.
  51. Text Link Ads - I have never made a dime here but I know people that have. You can earn by sending advertisers to them or by selling spots on your site. You must have a real site or blog to do this - nothing on a shared domain (i.e. /blogspot).
  52. Vibrant Media - Don't bother unless your site has 500,000 page views of text based content a month. If you have that readership, these are the guys that display bubble box ads to underlined words on your site.
  53. Vizu - I really like the sound of this one and may try it on Dumb Little Man. Instead of putting ads on your site, you insert polls. You get paid based on the CPM (cost per thousand) that you set. The better positioning on your site, the better you will do. The nice part of this is that everything is embedded into your site allowing visitors to participate without leaving. That is key. PS - I learned about this site today from Digital Inspiration.
  54. West Work At Home Agent - Not entirely online but this is worth a mention because it's won awards and is very legitimate. If you are an at-home Mom or free-lancer without work, you should check this out.
  55. Yahoo Publisher Network - This is the Yahoo version of Google Adsense.

High Yield Investment Program (HYIP)

A High Yield Investment Program, or HYIP, is a type of investment scheme normally offered via the Internet. HYIPs typically accept deposits as low as $1 while promising astoundingly high returns.

Online HYIP schemes rarely last for the long term. Overwhelming number of cases suggest that HYIPs are Ponzi schemes, in which new investors provide the cash to pay a profit to existing investors, which they typically then withdraw. This approach allows the scam to continue as long as new investors are found and/or old investors leave their money in the scheme, known as compounding (because even higher profits are promised).

The introduction of e-currencies has made it possible for HYIPs to operate on the internet and cross international boundaries, and to accept large numbers of small investments. HYIPs usually accept deposits by either e-currency, like e-gold, e-bullion and INTGold, or use specialist third party payment processors like AlertPay, SolidTrustPay, CEPTrust, TriStarMoneyChangers and StormPay. HYIPs typically offer a significant incentive commission (for example, 9% of invested funds) for members to attract and refer new investors.

Most HYIPs disclose little or no detail about the underlying management, location, or other aspects of how money is to be invested, and relatively little information (other than asserting that they do various types of trading on various stock and other exchanges) on how they actually generate the returns they purport. They are sometimes presented with some form of an emotional appeal, appeals for faith, and promises that they will help investors achieve financial freedom.

E-gold is the easiest and the most effective system of international electronic settlements. It is optimal for participation in high yield investment programs as it makes it possible to get the earned money instantly.As it is suitable form of online payment system that works around the globe, HYIPs operate worldwide and accept large numbers of small investments.

Most High Yield Investment Programs do not survive for very long , turning out to be a scam. Scam HYIPs are Ponzi schemes.A Ponzi scheme is an investment operation that involves paying abnormally high returns ("profits") to investors out of the money paid in by subsequent investors, rather than from net revenues generated by any real business.This approach allows the scam to continue as long as new investors are found and/or old investors leave their money in the scheme, known as compounding (because even higher profits are promised).

Taking both the negative and positive aspects of High Yield Investments into consideration, the conclusion is; if done right, High Yield Investments can be extremely lucrative.
