Like anything else we do online, we are all hoping to make a little money to support our hobby or maybe even make a living at this thing. Adsense is an easy way to pull in a couple of extra dollars each month or to possibly even make a living off. So, let’s first, take a look at how adsense works.
The concept is really simple, if you think about it. You put script on your website that you get from Google and each time your page is accessed, the java script will pull advertisements from the Adsense program. The ads are matched to target the content on your webpage. If a visitor clicks on an advertisement, you earn a portion of the money that the advertiser is paying the Google for the click.
Google’s search engine is the one handling all the tracking and payments, providing an easy way for you to display content-sensitive and targeted ads without having the hassle to solicit advertisers, collect funds, monitor the clicks and statistics which could be a very time-consuming task in itself.
The first reason why Adsense is essential for website owners is because it understanding the needs of publishers and webmasters. The ads are fully customizable and you as webmaster have the choice of many different types of text ad formats to better complement your website and fit your webpage layout.
The different formatting enables the site owners the possibility of more click through from visitors who may or may not be aware of what they are clicking on. It can also appeal to the people visiting making them take that next step of looking up what it is all about. This is a win/win situation you make money on each click and Google makes money from the advertisers for each click.
The second reason is the ability for you to track not only how your sites are progressing but also the earnings based on your-defined channels. The recent improvements in the Googles search engines gives you the capability to monitor how your ads are performing using customizable reports that has the capacity to detail page impressions, clicks and click-through rates. You and publishers can now track specific ad formats, colors and pages within a website. Trends are also easily spotted.
Everything is done in real-time reporting, changes made can be assessed quickly. There is time to sort out the contents that people are making the most clicks on. The ever-changing demands can be met while generating cash for the webmasters and publishers. The more flexible tools are also allowing webmasters to group web pages by URL, domain, ad type or category, which will provide them some accurate insight on which pages, ads and domains are performing best.
The third and final reason is that the advertisers have realized the benefits associated with having their ads served on individual websites. Increasing the possibility that a prospective web surfer will have an interest in their product and services. All because of the content of your website and its constant maintenance.
Adsense is all about targeted content, the more targeted your content is, the more target the search engines’ ads will be. There are some web masters and publishers who are focused more on their site contents and how best to maintain them to generate ad profits. This is the part where the effectiveness of adsense is working at its best.
There was a time when people were not yet aware of the money that could be achieved from advertisements. The cash generated back then came in more by luck then by webmasters actually working on building sites that would bring money in on purpose.

Daily Showering?
July 15, 2008 | 4 Comments
I read an interesting post today, I don’t even know where I was, but basically it was work at home mom who was seriously worried about the fact that she had gotten in-front of the computer to work and had forgotten to take a shower and get dressed that day.
My first thought was, “She must be new to this internet business thing”. Then, I thought, “boy is her world going to change!”
She has a lot to learn. I have spent days in front of my computer, forgetting to eat, shower, dress, I have to wonder if I peed even. Goodness, she built a whole blog spot out of her concern for not showering! Honey, it is just a first of many times I am sure. If it bothers you, my advice is get out of this business, you ain’t going to make it.
Oh go on, some of you are like… oh that is so gross! Please, if you are truly into an interenet business and have a dozen things going on the web and you get into a zone, there is no getting out of it. Your fingers are typing, your brain is going, there is no escape! It is what writers do, we write! Sometimes into the wee hours of the next morning, sometimes not even stopping then. When the spirit moves you, there is no fighting it.
All I have to say to that poor woman is, take two showers tomorrow and call me in the morning. I will tell you all the dirty little secrets about we internet business people and what we really do when no one is looking!

Spamming, What Is It And How To Avoid It.
July 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Spamming Techniques by Mercedes Aspland
First of all, spamming techniques can be divided into two major categories, e-mail spam, and spamdexing, which means spamming in search engines.
E-mail spam is probably the kind of spam most users have encountered. It is simply junk mail that tries to deceive you into sharing personal details, or redirects you to a website containing malicious content.
Spamdexing is a kind of Black Hat SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) that manipulates the prominence of certain websites when using a search engine. It can be divided into Content Spam and Link Spam.
The content spam technique involves changing the way a search engine reads web pages in order to make a page more popular in searches. Keyword stuffing, Hidden text, Meta tag stuffing, Doorway Pages and Scraper sites are all kinds of Content Spam.
Keyword or Meta Tag Stuffing: This involves loading a web page with carefully chosen keywords that will increase the website’s popularity when one of those keywords is searched for. These words can be placed in the actual content of the page or in its Meta Tags.
Hidden Text: This kind of search engine manipulation requires text to have the same colour as the page’s background, thus making it invisible. This text may not be visible by visitors, but it is read by search engines and can lead to an increase of the website’s popularity.
Doorway Pages: These are pages specifically created for spamdexing. When they come up as a search result and someone visits them, they automatically redirect the visitor to a different page using some kind of Cloaking technique, i.e. showing different web pages to human users and search engine bots.
Scraper Sites: These are websites that copy the content of other websites using the illegal technique of web scraping. Most of them make a profit out of this by loading their page with advertisements which visitors can click on. These are also known as Made For AdSense (MFA) websites.
Link spam manipulates rating algorithms, such as Google’s PageRank, in order to promote certain websites. Types of Link Spam include Link Farms, Hidden Links, Page hijacking and Google Bombs. More specifically:
Link Farms: Also known as spam blogs, they are groups of websites that link to one another, in order to increase their popularity in search engines.
Hidden Links: Similar to the Hidden text technique, they are links placed in obscure locations of a web page so that visitors will not see them. This is beneficial because highlighted text ranks higher than normal text in search engines.
Page Hijacking: Also known as Typosquatting, this involves buying domain names that are very similar to those of very popular websites (e.g.: “www.gooogle.com“, “en.wiipedia.org” etc) so as to make their page rank higher every time a user accidentally visits their page. A lot of the time the victim websites will try and pay the scammers off, which could have been their intention all along. Very few cases have reached the courts.
Google Bombs: Another kind of manipulation of Google’s PageRank algorithm. This involves a lot of websites using consistent anchor text in order to link a virtually irrelevant website to a web search. The first example of this was one that caused the search term “more evil than Satan himself” to produce Microsoft’s home page as the highest ranked result.

Living In the Great Northwest!
July 14, 2008 | 1 Comment
It is Monday morning and I don’t mind being back at work (my computer). It was a Beautiful weekend here in the Great Northwest. The temp was in the low 80’s, with a nice breeze all weekend. The sun was out, the mountains were gorgeous with their snowcapped heads showing for all. Fabulous!
These are the days anyone who lives in the Northwest lives for. It reminds us why we live here and put up with the rainy season <g> I am refreshed by these gorgeous days, and feel like it is not such a chore to sit down and write again. Actually I feel the juices flowing and may actually get somewhere closer to finishing that list (or lists) I talked about the other day. I HATE lists!!!!
So, watch out world! I have a new saying my niece taught me the other day and I told her I was going to adopt as my saying from now on.
Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says…
Oh Shit She’s UP!
Look out world…. I am up!

Writers Block Or, Writing For Chocolate!
July 10, 2008 | 7 Comments
Here is the first real test of my project, if you don’t know what that is about please check past posts, but, in essence I have two blogs, both exactly the same (or abouts) except one will touch on personal stuff as well as business stuff. I want to see if it matters to readers who are looking for information on starting their own business, to find personal stuff mixed in with the business info you are searching for.
Does it matter to you? Please check out my other blog at www.pinkrenegade.blogdumps.net and let me know which one you like better and why. Thanks so much.
Now, on to today’s musing, which I will not be putting on my other blog! What I am going through today is often what bloggers and basically all business owners go through at one time or another, for a better name, I’ll call it Writer’s Block. It isn’t that I have run out of things too say, it is that I have sooo much to say and don’t were to begin.
I have articles for directories due, I have articles for my newsletter due, I have blog stuff due, I have chapters for my ebook due…. on and on it goes. But where to start, where did I leave off, what have I promised to my readers of different blogs or articles? Oy!
I have had more then one mentor who has told me to make lists. Write down the most important things to do for the next day, then what should be done the next day, and so on. Some say just list your most important 5 things to do and then do them. The problem, this doesn’t work well for me. I have lists all over my office!
Which list should I start on first is where I am at today. The list for the ezine articles, the blog list, the newsletter list, my ebook list? I need a list for my lists! The list thing has not been a success as far as I see it.
I am thinking now of putting a food reward on each task, if I do a task, I get to eat a piece of fruit. If I get a bigger task I get something like a great cheese and crackers. If I finish all of my tasks, there has to be chocolate involved! Maybe, I will be more motivated to follow a list if each item on the list includes a food reward. Hmm.. this is something I will put on my list to test out the theory.
Maybe, tomorrow I could start on that list. What kind of chocolate treat should I choose?
