Google AdSense Campaign

AdSense is an advertising program run by Google which is also known as Google AdSense. What this program does is match the need-to-advertise by vendors with the need-to-see by consumers. As internet usage grows apace and increasing amount of commerce moves online, there are hungry advertisers just willing to place their promotions in front of the right people.

There are basically two types of traffic available on the internet, untargeted and targeted. The untargeted traffic is simply a waste of time, there is no two ways about it. These are people who just happen to come across your promotion whilst they were looking for something unrelated to what you are offering. They may just glance at it and simply move on.

Targeted traffic on the other hand, is what every advertiser and marketer dreams and strives for. This traffic is actually looking for what you have to offer and when it comes across your promotion, it is very likely to follow through by clicking and taking subsequent action.

Google AdSense displays adverts on websites that have enrolled for the program and who have then activated AdSense. These adverts are either text, image, video or rich media based. So how does this actually work?

Let's say you wanted to search something on Google and you typed in your keyword/key-phrase in the search box. Up comes a site which you think contains what you are looking for. If this site is AdSense activated then as soon as you open it, you will see adverts, usually in the side panes of the website or even at the bottom of posts, which are surprisingly apt for you.

The content in these square or rectangular shaped adverts is determined by a number of factors including your location and browsing history. This targeting of adverts is what makes them so intelligent.

This form of promotion is also known as contextual advertising as it will display content that is in context of what you are interested in. It is also the form of advertising that is really sought after by advertisers as it marries the right content with the right consumer target i.e. it gets targeted traffic for the vendor. When this happens, both the vendor and the consumer are happy as they have both found what they were looking for.

AdSense is a huge business for Google. In 2011, it accounted for 28% of Google's revenue which is 2.43 billion USD.

You too can capitalise on this enormous market by applying for an AdSense account for your website. Once approved, all you need to do is choose what dimension of advert you would like to display and 'hey presto!', adverts will start appearing soon after. You will be paid on performance which is the number of clicks placed on these adverts. How much this converts to monetary value is determined by Google but you can see all your performance statistics on the Google AdSense website.

The potential for earning from Google AdSense is enormous but you need a relatively high traffic site(s). It has been reported that some people earn in access of 100,000 USD a year just with AdSense.

Do not be tempted to cheat the system by clicking on your AdSense advert multiple times hoping you can accelerate your earnings. Google is smart and it has systems in place to identify exactly this form of click fraud. If you are found out, you are likely to be banned and then it will be difficult for you to get back into the program.

10 Effective Ways to Protect Your Google AdSense Account

Google AdSense is of one of the highest paying ad networks which enable publishers to serve highly contextual ads on their websites and blogs. Ads being extremely targeted leads to altitudinous CTR (click through rate) and better earnings. As a result immensely large number of publishers has joined the AdSense network.

With so many advantages, few disadvantages come along the way. AdSense has no official support to help their publishers and they are inordinately strict about polices and disables account for any minor violation. Publishers are responsible for all the activity on their site. Any kind of "invalid activity" makes the Bot to raise the red flag and account is disabled. Once the account gets disabled there are very slim chances that you can get it back. It such situation, it becomes inevitable to understand the factors that leads to disabled account and ways how to protect it. So here are the top 10 methods to protect your AdSense account.

Don't click your own ads

Few publishers click their own ads to earn money. Google has a sophisticated mechanism that tracks the clicks. If you get clicks from some specific source or in some typical pattern your account would get disabled. So kindly don't click your own ads.

Use AdBlocker to prevent clicking your own ads by mistake

I have seen many people reporting at AdSense Help forum that they clicked their Ads by mistake. Google understands that we are humans and mistake can happen. But they have very less threshold for clicks due to "mistakes". Use AdBlocker on your computer to prevent yourself from clicking Ads.

Protect your account from your wife, friends and relatives

Relations are the essence of life. We all have so many well wishers who want to see us successful and try to help us in all possible way. They try to "help" us to earn more by clicking on our ads. But they don't know that Google will track this and close the account. More accounts get disabled due to "well wishers" rather than click bombs or click frauds.

Avoid use of social networks to get traffic

Social Networks can help you promote your site very well and gain insane traffic and popularity. But this traffic is inorganic in nature, at least in eyes of Google. When you get excessive traffic from social networks in proportion to the traffic from search engines your account is in trouble. So avoid social networks. If possible remove all the sharing buttons from your site. Traffic from the search engines is healthy and one should try to get traffic from them

Keep check on the words you use

AdSense does not allow publishers to place ads on the website that has content with profanity or swear words. At same time, English being such a dynamic language, few words have multiple shades. For example word "naked" has two meanings. It means "without clothes" and it also means "bare". Google has not given any exhaustive list of words that they consider improper. Further Google bots probably cannot understand the word in context. Bots are incredibly stupid. So they make disable the account is they see a word naked. Let us say I have a site where I try to promote non violence. If I say "Our life is given to us by god. How can one human gun down another?" Bot won't understand the tone of my voice or the context in which word "gun" is used. This can create trouble for your account.

Content should be Family safe

This policy has always been a matter of confusion. Some people interpret this as the disallowing of pornographic content. But I would press hard on the words "family safe". Effectively it means that any content that a person cannot see comfortably with parents and five-year old boy is not fit for AdSense.

Avoid excessive use of Ads

Google always give emphasis on great user experience. A website plastered with Ads provides poor use experience. One should not put ads within the content. Not more than 30% of the space should have ads.

Protect your account from YouTube

Few publishers put ads on their YouTube videos. I agree that YouTube helps us a lot to establish overselves on web, but it fails to provide certain tools that we need to protect our AdSense account. Usually we keep sharing option ON expecting people to share videos to gain more views. But this makes impossible for us to control where our videos appear. If you see AdSense violation reporting page, you would know that they consider the surrounding of the website where videos are appearing. So this can put your account is trouble.

Avoid using third-party widgets and templates for website

I know that all the bloggers do not have technical knowledge about web design. They inevitably have to use third-party tools to get started. But use such tools from reliable sources only. You never know what is the coding done behind that attractive template. This can get your site and AdSense account is real trouble.

Use Google Analytics to monitor your account activity

Monitor your site stats and see the activity. If you find any suspicious activity report it to Google. You may wish to block certain IPs from accessing your site. Remove ads from your site if you find any thing not inline to protect advertiser's interest and your account.

Some Tips For Earning From Google AdSense

Are you looking to make money with Google AdSense? If so, you should know that it's not an easy thing to do. One of the best ways to improve your AdSense earnings is to increase the amount of website visitors that you get on a daily basis. This can be done in a variety of different ways.

Along with generating traffic, you will want to create new content everyday. With the new content, you can create some for your website, or create some for your blog - or do both (I personally like doing both). This shouldn't be hard to do. Simply write up 1 article per day for your website and blog, and you will be good to go.

I know for a fact that placement of your Google AdSense ads can make a big difference when it comes to earning money with the program. Most marketers say to have your ads placed at the top of your blog or article, and then to the left of your website of blog. They say that because of the natural way that people view websites.

People land on your site, see's the AdSense ad at the top of the page, then naturally looks to the left, then see's your content, and then see's if there's anything to the right of the page. Also, people love to "get to the point" and scroll all the way down to the webpage. So have some ads at the bottom of your website page also.

If you didn't already know, there are certain ad formats that work best on your website. On my blog, I have a 728x90 leaderboard ad at the very top of my blog page. And then to the left of my blog, I have a 250x250 square that is very easy to see. Some people click through, and I get credited for the click. And I post a lot on my blog, so this helps also.

If you currently have a blog or website that has AdSense on it but it isn't making you any money, then there are some things that you will want to consider changing. The first thing you will want to consider changing is the layout of your website. Are you leading people to a page where there are several different options that your visitors can choose?

I've been to websites where they had a subscriber opt-in box to the right, a "like me on Facebook" button, a "follow me on twitter" button, Google AdSense ads all over the place, and an opportunity to skip all of these options and go directly to the sales letter page. Sites like this are confusing, and hopefully your site isn't how I just described it.

You want to make it easy for your visitors. Make a decision as to what you want your visitor to do - and make this option the only option that your visitors have when it comes to taking action on your site. The last thing that you want to do is confuse your visitors... because confused people don't buy or click. If anything, they will click out of your page.

Google AdSense is a simple program that I think anybody can earn money from. If this is how you want to make a living in your online business, then I think you will be pleased with your business if you market it correctly and get lots of traffic. Take these tips in today's lesson and put them to use in your business today.

Good luck with using these Google AdSense tips to the best of your ability.
