Internet Work At Home Business Faqs

By: Purva Mewar

Q. What is internet work at home business?
A. Internet work at home business, is an opportunity which offers prospect a business that can be done from the comforts of his/her home, working on the computer.

Q. What are the minimum requirements and qualification to start internet work at home business?
A. The requirements in terms of both are minimal and negligible. You need a computer and access to internet. IN terms of formal qualification, you could be a school dropout, college dropout, an undergraduate; post graduate… everyone has an equal chance to be successful on the internet.

Q. Does it cost money to start internet `work at home business’?
A. If you are taking affiliation of some product, you can start internet work at home business absolutely free. But if you are buying an ebook or ezine which is promising to teach you or give you useful information about certain specialized `internet home business’ then it may cost you. If you search for and register with companies who are looking for online survey panelists, it could be free to enroll.

But Survey websites do charge a free. How’s that?

If you are joining an outfit or website that specifically deals with providing you in your inbox with online surveys, it will cost you a one time fee. These survey websites provide you with a ready made list of companies that are looking for people to take online surveys. You simply have to register your profile with them and you start to receive their surveys. These websites are in touch with all these companies on a regular basis. They are aware of their rules including mode of payment which they communicate to you. You save that much time by registering with these companies. Searching sites which are looking for panelists, finding out if they are legitimate or scam, reading long list of info and rules in each one of them can be a big hassle. They charge you fee for the services they provide you.

Q. Are there different types of home business’ that can be done from home or everyone working on the internet is doing the same thing?
A. There are many types of business that people do to make a living online. You could buy and sell online, with the help of ebay or without. You could be drop shipping. You could be selling ebooks, emags online. You can simply become affiliate of some products and sell them through your websites. You could take online surveys like we have discussed earlier. You could be selling a product, concept or tutorials about various subjects from kids’ to motivational stuff. The list is unending.

Q. How long will it take me to stabilize in internet work at home business?
A. One year. I am talking about stabilizing not your first check. You could see your first check in 6-7 months after starting out. Unless of course after one week of joining 5 of your friends join you as down-line or buy the product that you are selling then you start making profits in a fortnight lets say… But for you to stabilize at a regular income bracket it takes one year.

Q. Does internet home business really have the potential to earn unlimited income, as it is often read and heard?
A. Yes. Very much so. It does take time to stabilize but the pace of growth will take one by surprise. If you are working in the right direction and regularly, there is no stopping you. At one stage I have doubled my income every two months. It’s an absolute possibility.

Q. Who should not join work at home business?
A. A person who doesn’t have the time, or doesn’t want to give a few hours in a week to one’s home business, should not join. Someone who thinks he/she can simply put the business on autopilot by paying some money and earn for the rest of life is living in misconception and therefore should not join to face disappointment and frustrations later. Someone who is in immediate need of liquidity should not join. In` internet work at home business’ the money will take time to come.

Last but not the least, get a computer and access to internet. It’s the ZERO step. First step is taking the first step, remember? Move your life from zero. Start from zero and be on your way to adding digits and zeroes before and after it. In plain and simple language, let me repeat and re-emphasize, unlimited income potential is a reality in internet home business. Don't let the opportunity slip through your fingers.

The Truth About Work At Home Jobs

After weeks and weeks of searching and reading all the different ads on the internet, you finally discover what you've been looking for in a work at home job. It tells you everything you want to hear and they also show proof of their claims.

The deadline is approaching "This offer ends by midnight..." You can't wait to whip-out your credit card to get your material and get started making hundreds or even housands of dollars.

But wait! Now is the time to ask yourself. Is there enough information letting me know what is needed of me to get this system off the ground?

Will I have everything I need to get started right away? When and how will I get paid?

Am I willing to dedicate the time? and Finally, is this really what I want to do?

By taking a little more time and asking yourself these simple questions could decide between your failure or success.

And could even save you time and a whole lot of money.

But before we get started, I would just like to tell you, whether you've finished high school or never attended college. It doesn't matter who you are or what you've been doing in the past.

Just remind yourself that you can learn anything and you'll be on your way. All it takes is the determination to want to learn to make money.

"Specific Work at Home Jobs in Detail"

Paid surveys, assembling products, mystery shopping, data entry and stuffing envelopes.

With paid surveys you can earn money either by filling out forms and answering questions about a particular product or by trying out new products for companies and jotting down your experiences on whether the product would work for a particular segment or audience.

If you don't want to leave home for an extra income, this would be a great way to make $500-$3,000 a month from your computer. Just getting paid to tell what you think about a product or service.






"Can Assembly Jobs Work for You?"

Home assembly has been around since I started my career online. Which has been about 8 years now. I can also remember when I was in to mailorder 2 years before that, home assembly jobs were being offered as well.

It consists of building products for a certain type of company (sewing, wood constructing, electronics, etc..) and sending the products back to the company when finished, for a paycheck.

From my experience, the majority of websites only give you a listing of these companies claiming that you'll earn $400-$500 weekly.

Here's how it works, when you get the listings of these companies, you will personally have to send for the info from the companies on your list.

When and if you get the info, they will send you an order form with the price (ranging from $30-$40) of their package which contains patterns, sample of finished product and maybe some material.

Afterwards, it'll be up to you to get whatever else you'll need to make the products. Costing you even more money.

Now, very rare have I heard of someone making good money with these companies. There may be a few out there but you would need to do your homework in finding these companies.

And the only way to do that is to buy in to these companies to see if you were to get a paycheck, which could cost you a substantial amount of money, or find someone who has been paid by one or more of these companies.

"How a Mystery Shopper Earns a Paycheck"

Mystery shopping is very popular. But you don't really work at home. You work for companies that are trying to make their prices, products and services competitive to other companies. You work your own hours, shop and/or eat for free.

Here's how it works. As a mystery shopper you will complete a special assignment for a particular company by going to a location in your area. You go to the location as a customer but you will be completing a questionnaire or evaluation sheet about the location.

After completing the assignment, you will then file the sheet either electronically, faxing or postal mailing it to your company for a paycheck.

There are a few reputable websites out there that offer these mystery shopping companies. These jobs are a very good source of parttime income.

"Is Data Entry What You Think it is?"

Data entry has become very popular in the past year. I noticed it moving forward from the mid-point of google adsense. You are paid to do typing assignments for a particular company. But do be careful of these types of businesses.

These companies make claims of earning a home income with their company listings. Majority of these companies will only scam you! Their listings consist of only outdated information. There maybe some websites that could assist you in finding this type of work.

If you do a search for these companies you will have to sift through the results to possibly find the ones that have been in good standing if you're interested in doing this kind of work from home.

"Is the Stuffing Envelopes Opportunity a Scam?"

Now lets talk about stuffing envelopes. This work at home job is just as the name states, filling envelopes with direct marketing for companies to advertise their products and/or services.

You are usually paid anywhere from $.50-$5 per envelope stuffed. I have yet to find a company that proves its claims.

I would consider staying away from these types of companies unless you know for sure that the company is legitimate.

"3 Strategies to Arm Yourself Against Online Opportunity Scams"

1) Testimonials- Be sure the website offers testimonials of satisfied customers. If they don't offer testimonials, there are no satisfied customers.

2) Money-Back Guarantee- If the company does not offer a 100% money-back guarantee for at least 30 days or longer. I would not trust giving them my money. The longer the better. There are too many scams to take a risk. You can always use the guarantee to back you up if you need to make a complaint.

3) Not Enough Information- Make sure they answer your questions. If they can't answer the most important questions, they may have something to hide. I know they can't tell you everything before you make your purchase but the important questions,for example; how you get paid and when you get paid should be answered.

Now you can be a confident expert on work at home. OK, maybe not an expert. But you should have something to bring to the table next time you join a discussion on working at home.

The Google Adsense Money Checks Or Extra Income Checks-----Part 3 Of 3

Go to: Part 1 of 3 or Part 2 of 3

By: Kenneth Echie

Since I have been using AdSense and getting AdSense Money checks, I have come to learn some useful tips that would help you make money with AdSense. These tips, along with the systems in my e-book, helped me increase my AdSense income by 560%. If you are starting, check out these tips before you start using AdSense. If you’re already using AdSense, incorporate these tips into your AdSense program and see your income soar.

This is part 3 of 3 of these tips. You can get the other parts at my website: http://www.extra-income-ideas.com/articles.html
or in my AdSense Money E-Book: http://www.bye925.com/adm

Making Money with AdSense -- Tip #7:

Think about segmenting your sites: making some pages for high search engine traffic, other pages to sell products, and still other pages just for Google AdSense.

To implement this, you’ll need to recognize that different pages on your site can have different purposes. You may have pages designed to sell specific products. Others may be designed to rank high in the search engines (but don't ever try to trick the search engines). Still others can be designed for Google AdSense.







Now, once you know which pages you're creating for AdSense, your job is simple; select an appropriate keyword (or key phrase).

Then you’ll use that keyword as the file name and put dashes between the words. You would use the file name like 'water-gardening.html' for your water gardening page.

Best case scenario is that you’re able to select keywords that are the highest paying keyword on the topic. By tweaking the file name, you may be able to improve your AdSense results dramatically.

Making Money with AdSense -- Tip #8:

Knock yourself out to make high quality information pages.

The ideal Google AdSense page should have great content about a very specific topic. Take pains to be very clear about what the topic is, and carefully choose the keyword (or key phrase) describing the topic. Users don’t like vague pages that don’t make it very clear what the page is all about.

Don’t even think about trying to 'trick' AdSense. They have penalties, including getting kicked out. Don't create a page on one topic and give it a file name about a different topic—that’s too confusing.

In a nutshell, you want to make sure the page you create offers great value to people interested in the topic. When you provide excellent information on a specific topic, your visitors will benefit and will be more likely to click through to relevant AdWords.

Making Money with AdSense -- Tip #9:

Select vertical AdWords format.

Everyone’s seen way too many horizontal banner ads up top. Thus, Google recommends you choose the vertical -- not horizontal -- format to display your AdWords. I agree. People have become "banner blind" to a horizontal format. Plus, Google has "trained" us to click on relevant text ads on their own site and they use the vertical format.

Making Money with AdSense -- Tip #10:

Make sure you display AdWords prominently.

It’s to your financial advantage to put the AdWords near the top of your page on the right. Make sure there is enough "breathing room" -- i.e. white space around the ads -- so that they will easily attract your visitors.

Making Money with AdSense -- Tip #11:

Just don’t do it--don't cheat.

I know it’s tempting, because it seems so easy and it’s just sitting there waiting for you to do it, but do not click on the AdWords displayed on your own site to increase your revenue. Google (rightfully) frowns on this.

Plus, Google has some of the smartest engineers around, and they are very good at detecting this kind of fraud. And really, for an extra $1, is it worth getting kicked out of a money-maker like AdSense? I think not…

In conclusion, I want to say that these strategies can help you maximize your revenue from Google AdSense. And I personally guarantee that you’ll have a whole lot of fun creating content pages on topics you have a passion for.

So what’re you waiting for? Go to Google AdSense right now, and start getting those AdSense Money checks!

The Google Adsense Money Checks Or Extra Income Checks-----Part 2 Of 3

Since I have been using AdSense and getting AdSense Money checks, I have come to learn some useful tips that would help you make money with AdSense. These tips, along with the systems in my e-book, helped me increase my AdSense income by 560%. If you are starting, check out these tips before you start using AdSense.

This is part 2 of 3 of these tips. You can get the other parts at my website: http://www.extra-income-ideas.com/articles.html
or in my AdSense Money E-Book: http://www.bye925.com/adm

Making Money with AdSense -- Tip #4:

You want to make new pages with higher paying keywords (while keeping it real and relevant).

Sometimes, selecting different keywords on the same topic can really make a difference in earnings.

Pretend you have a gardening site and you want to create some new pages.

By carefully selecting which topics to focus on first, you can dramatically increase your income.

With the Overture tool mentioned above, you can find out that 'water gardening' currently has a maximum price of $0.50, while 'gardening zone' is only $0.05. That means you can earn 10 times more by creating a page on 'water gardening' than 'gardening zones'! Which one to choose…yeah, that’s tough!

What you want to do is use information to decide which relevant keywords to focus on as you go through the process of making new pages for your site.







Making Money with AdSense -- Tip #5:

Build a new site on high paying keywords.

This is one of my most lucrative pieces of advice: create a brand new site to take advantage of Google AdSense by deliberately selecting a topic with high paying keywords.

Then, of course, you deliver dynamite content on that topic.

But how do you know what the highest paying keywords are?

Another tool you can use comes from pay-per-click search engine, 7Search. 7Search has a page on the 100 highest paying keywords. Unfortunately, it’s not perfect. The tool often 'times out' and gives you an error when you try to access the page. My best advice is just be patient and try several times to get this list—it’s worth it.

Making Money with AdSense -- Tip #6:

Pull in qualified traffic to your site.

Basic marketing 101 says if you get more qualified visitors to your site, more people will naturally click on the displayed AdWords, and you'll earn more.

If read the chapters 6, 7, 8, & 9 of my AdSense Money e-book that I mentioned above, you’ll find some dynamite info.

In closing, I want to say that these strategies can help you maximize your revenue from Google AdSense. Look for my other tips and supercharge your AdSense Income.

So what’re you waiting for? Go to Google AdSense right now, and start getting those revenue checks!

The Google Adsense Money Checks Or Extra Income Checks-----Part 1 Of 3

Go to: Part 2 of 3 or Part 3 of 3

By: Kenneth Echie

Since I have been using AdSense and getting AdSense Money checks, I have come to learn some useful tips that would help you make money with AdSense. These tips, along with the systems in my e-book, helped me increase my AdSense income by 560%. If you are starting, check out these tips before you start using AdSense. If you’re already using AdSense, incorporate these tips into your AdSense program and see your income soar.

This is part 1 of 3 of these tips. You can get the other parts on at my website: http://www.extra-income-ideas.com/articles.html or my AdSense Money E-Book: http://www.bye925.com/adm


Making Money with AdSense -- Tip #1:
Start now! It’s as easy as falling off a log to generating revenue with Google AdSense. After you're accepted to the program, just add a few lines of html code to your site (Google shows you how once you're accepted) -- and voila!

Within a few minutes, your site will begin displaying AdWords, and so you can start making money. Each day you wait means you don’t make the bucks you could. So start now.

Making Money with AdSense -- Tip #2:
Make content pages for your site -- and put AdWords on them. Assuming your page is a decent one, the more pages you have displaying AdWords, the more money you'll earn.

If you already have a website, display AdWords on more pages.

And always, always, always focus on making more great content pages. I suggest that you budget time each week for creating pages (and sites) on topics you love. You'll find more on creating AdSense content pages in Tip #8.

And it’s especially good if these content pages are very clearly focused. Then, Google will be able to serve highly relevant AdWords to your users. This means your visitors will be more interested in the ads, which results in higher click through rates -- and more money for you!

Making Money with AdSense -- Tip #3:
Whenever you can, use higher paying keywords.

Obviously, you'll earn more if the average AdWord that Google displays pays more per click.

The question is: how do you get Google to display higher paying keywords?

Well, for one thing, don't get greedy and create pages on unrelated keywords just because they pay more. In other words, don't create a page on 'cell phone plans' on your motorcycle tire site just because 'cell phone plans' pays more than ‘motorcycle tires.’







How to find out which keywords pay best? If you're a Google AdWords advertiser, you can log into your AdWords account and experiment.

If you're not an AdWords advertiser, use a free tool at the pay-per-click search engine, Overture.

Overture’s tool lets you see what advertisers are paying on Overture for each keyword. Sure, Overture and Google don’t pay the same. But they’re not all that different, and this tool can give you a general idea of which keywords will pay more than others.

(Also, don’t’ forget Google’s commission, so you have to allow for their cut on the amount an advertiser pays for each click.)

In closing, I want to say that these strategies can help you maximize your revenue from Google AdSense. Look for my other tips and supercharge your AdSense Income.

So what’re you waiting for? Go to Google AdSense right now, and start getting those AdSense money checks!

Make Money With Google Adsense

By: Samuel Colon

Anyone who owns or is thinking about creating a website would be crazy to ignore this. Earning money with your site, no matter the topic, has become easier than it's ever been before -and it's 100% legit.

If this program had been available in 2000, I would have NEVER shut down my soap opera fan site that received 200 hits per day. I would have been able to earn money from that traffic and probably turned a small profit.

First of all, Google.com earns most of its money by allowing other website owners to advertise on their search result pages. Now you can earn a share of the revenue that Google earns by placing these same text ads on your site. In other words, you're helping Google advertise.

The program is called Adsense.

Every website owner should be involved in this. It's just too good of an opportunity to pass up. Even if your site is just for information purposes, you can still participate and make decent money with Adsense -- or at least enough to fund your website.

So if you are one of those people that don't like the idea of paying for a site, this is an excellent way to earn your money back and then some. Even if you earned as little as $10 in a month, it would more than likely cover some or all of the costs for your web site. Perhaps you are simply looking for ways to add additional revenue to your website, then it's perfect for that situation too.

This program is getting so popular, people are creating websites just to display the ads and profit from Google's Adsense alone.

I don't usually like to use the term "easy money" because there really is no such thing. You still have to create your own website and learn how to bring in traffic in order to make good money with this program. I certainly don't want to make it sound like you get something for doing absolutely nothing.

However, I've got to say that Adsense is probably the closest you'll ever come to fast money on the Internet -- especially if you already have a website that gets a good amount of traffic. What's even better...the program is completely free. You can also use it on multiple websites and there is no limit to the amount you can earn.

How Adsense Works

If you go to Google.com and do a search for almost any keyword phrase, you'll notice some "Sponsored Links" that appear on the right side of the screen that are relevant to the keywords you just searched for.

Website owners pay Google to display these ads and are charged a predetermined amount every time their ad gets clicked by a web surfer. With the Adsense program, you will display these same text ads on your site just like Google and get paid for it as well. All you do is copy and paste some provided HTML code into your pages and Voila! the ads will show up.

Every time an ad is clicked on your site, you will receive a certain percentage of what Google receives from the advertiser.

Once your account reaches $100, you'll receive a check in the mail.

"Is Google Crazy?"

I know what you're probably thinking...
"What's the catch here? Why would Google just give away money advertisers are paying them?"
The answer...
Because Google is very smart.

Now that I understand how Adsense works, I can see that it's a win-win situation for everyone involved, and the bottom line benefits Google. Let me explain...

Since the advertiser's ads are now being displayed on more web sites all over the internet (instead of just Google's site), they are getting much more exposure. More exposure means more clicks and even more traffic for their site over a shorter period of time.

This is good news for Google because the more traffic the advertisers receive, the faster their advertising funds are used up. Remember, they get charged every time their site gets a visit. And of course, it is Google's hope that they'll continue to keep funneling more money into their account for more ad exposure.

What an ingenious way for Google to increase the amount of money they earn from advertisers while building loyalty with website owners (like us) who are now getting paid to help them advertise.

Of course, I'd expect nothing less from the most popular search engine on the web.

"How Much Can I Earn With Adsense?"

Google does not disclose exactly how much you'll earn per ad that is clicked.

The commission you receive per click depends on how much advertisers are paying Google for the particular ad. You will earn a share of that amount. I've heard of earnings anywhere from 2 cents to $15 per click.

So it is logical to believe that keyword phrases like debt free, employment, make money, mp3, sex, etc. will earn you more per click since these are highly competitive keywords that are searched for quite a bit on the web.

Advertisers generally pay more for popular terms because they are searched for more.

Even though Google will not reveal how much you are earning for each ad that is clicked from your site, you can still login to your account at any time and see the total amount of revenue you've generated that day, week, month, year, etc.







For example, if you see that you've made $12.60 today from 9 clicks then you can calculate that your average click-thru commission was $1.40 per click. That's as detailed as their stats will get. Also remember, that's only an average. You won't know how much each specific ad brought in.

The amount you'll earn also depends largely on the amount of targeted traffic you receive to your own site, how well the ads match your audience's interests, the placement of the ads on your pages, and of course the amount you receive per click.
Ideally, you should create a site on a topic you know a lot about. That way you'll have a much easier time creating a generous amount of content on that subject.

How Google Matches the Ads to Your Site's Content

One of the main reasons this program is so successful is because the ads that are displayed closely match the content of your website. This increases the chances that someone will click on the ads.

Here's how Google accomplishes the content match (in their own words)...

"...We go beyond simple keyword matching to understand the context and content of web pages. Based on an algorithm that includes such factors as keyword analysis, word frequency, font size, and the overall link structure of the web, we know what a page is about, and can precisely match Google ads to each page."

So let's say you have an information website about yoga. Once you join Adsense and paste their ad code into your site, Google's technology will determine the topic of the pages by scanning for keyword repeats, page title, etc.

If successful, you will see ads that relate to yoga displayed on your web pages. Of course, the more related the ads are to your site's content, the better the click-thru.

Keep in mind, the ads may not be an exact match because it depends on the ads inside Google's database. So instead of seeing yoga ads, you may see more generic ads like exercise, healthy eating, etc. This is not a bad thing because these are topics your visitors will likely be interested in as well.

Why Your First Online Business Should Be Google Adsense

By Andrew Shim

Since its launch in 2003, the Google Adsense program has revolutionized web publishing, translating visitors' clicks into money, turning blogs and websites into money making machines for millions of website owners. The Adsense program is a big revenue generator for Google, too. The company earned some $2.7 billion in Adsense revenues last year. If you're thinking of making money online here are some reasons why your first online business should be Google Adsense :

It's FREE and EASY.
You first need to apply to join the Adsense program via an online form. Once you've been accepted into the program, you will be given a snippet of code containing your unique ID to paste into your website to enable the ads to appear. It's that simple to start making money with Adsense.

Everybody can make money.
With Google Adsense, it doesn't matter if your website is big or small. The amount of money you make is generally proportional to the traffic that your website attracts. No site is too small to make money. Even if you could make an extra ten dollars a day (which is really very achievable) by just pasting a snippet of code into your web pages, I'd call that a great way to make money!

No worries about finding advertisers.
Finding the right advertisers and the right place to advertise can be a tricky business for both publishers and advertisers.Google, by their sheer size is a magnet that attracts advertisers and publishers for all sorts of products and services. They become the broker between publishers and advertisers. All you need to do is concentrate on your website.

Great for beginners.
The majority of newbies who try to make money on the Internet call it quits within twelve months, not because they want to, but because they get lost in the jungle of online money-making. This leads to frustration and disappointment and eventually, defeat. Google Adsense cuts a clear and simple path for everyone to follow – join the program, paste the code, improve your website content and get paid when people click on the ads.






Google is great
Google is on the cutting edge of search engine and pay-per-click technology. Even as Adsense became the spectacular success that it is today, Google never stopped developing and refining ways to help regular people with regular websites monetize their traffic. They have some of the best brains working for them.

Making money while you sleep
I can honestly say that I make money while I sleep. Round the clock, every click earns me anywhere from 5 cents to a couple of dollars. Since joining the Adsense program, my day starts off bright and cheery with a visit to my reports page that tells me how much I earned while sleeping!

Earnings grow with your website.
While Adsense does generate more income on certain types of websies than other less popular niche sites, the general consensus is that as long as you continue to build on your website's popularity and add good, useful content, your Adsense income WILL continue to grow. More traffic logically equals more clicks and more money.

Small change for some, BIG money for others
Perhaps the ones who are reaping the greatest benefit from the Adsense program are the publishers from the developing world. While a US100 dollar check may not mean very much to a webmaster in New York, it can mean a couple months salary to someone in Africa. Stories abound in Adsense-related websites and forums of how this program has changed the lives of thousands of people. Many have been able to make a comfortable living solely on the income derived from the Adsense program.

Earning money with Google Adsense gives new website owners hope and a clear sense of direction. Even if you earn 50 cents a day at first, it opens your eyes to the possibilities that Google Adsense presents. It's a straightforward way to make money compared to the often complex path of affiliate marketing. There's every reason to believe that Google Adsense can only get bigger and better, so it makes perfect sense that every newcomer to online money making should give the Adsense program a try.

What Is Google Adsense?

By: Diane Nassy

AdSense may be one of the fastest and easiest ways to monetize traffic to your web site whether you have products or services for sale or you simply provide free content to your visitors.

Simply stated, Google AdSense enables website operators to place some code on their site that connects to Google’s ad server content database and pulls keyword-relevant advertising onto the web pages. The webmaster gets paid a percentage of the fee that Google receives from the advertiser every time a visitor clicks on an ad. There is no charge for the webmaster to participate in AdSense. All costs are covered by the advertiser who participates in the AdSense sister program called AdWords.

Google’s sends out digital “robots” which use proprietary algorithms to parse the host web page and analyze the content in an effort to determine what keywords are relevant. It reports its findings back to Google’s ad server which then serves ads matching those keywords. Given that the entire process is automated, the “ad robots” do a pretty good job of getting the advertising content right most of the time.

The History of Google AdSense

Google AdSense has its roots in the old “Google Content-Targeted Advertising” program which they introduced back in March of 2003. Although this program was similar in concept to AdSense, there was no automated way of participating. Each webmaster negotiated a deal directly with Google, and websites that served less than 20 million page views per month were not welcome to participate.

As Google grew, they began to see how much money they were leaving on the table by excluding the smaller sites, which greatly outnumbered the sites serving over 20 million hits that were willing to serve other people’s ads. Their answer to that problem was AdSense which has no minimum traffic requirements and is open to all sites meeting Google’s content and decency requirements.

How much can you make running Google AdSense?

The answer to that question depends upon three factors:

1. How much traffic your site draws
2. How many visitors click on your ads
3. How much those ads pay per generated click

With some ads paying as much as $5 or more, it’s possible that you can generate a serious income with AdSense. There are relatively well documented cases of some people earning as much as $500 per DAY and more. Numbers like that are rare exceptions however. Even so, there is no reason why you can’t earn somewhere around $1,000 per month, or more, once you get the hang of it.






How to get started using Google AdSense

Make a visit to Google’s AdSense Site (https://www.google.com/adsense/) and sign up. Make sure that you read their Acceptable Use Policy and that you follow their content requirements. Google has their own “AdSense Police” who will have no problem booting you out of the program if you fail to walk the line.

Using Google AdSense on your site is like collecting free money. There’s no reason not to do it and potentially thousands of dollars worth of reasons to do it.

How I Discovered an Amazing Amount of High Quality Google Adsense Alternatives

A 52 year old webmaster from the Netherlands got banned from the Google Adsense program in just a few clicks. He went looking around for alternatives and found a lot of very creative brand new advertising solutions. That webmaster was me. Do as I did and you will get a message like:

• Your account is disabled because of invalid clicks.

What was all the fuzz about? The adsense account was set up for my website www.wereldwijdbellen.nl , wich I started one year earlier as an affiliate for a German / American Voip company (voice over IP, internettelephony). At that time Adsense was new for me and I decided to give it a try. Doing some cutting, copying and pasting with the codes and voila, I was advertising competing Voip companies on my website.

Spyware was already a big nuisance on the internet at that time. In my battle against it I experimented with anonymous surfing via so called anonymizers and proxyservers with the purpose of hiding my IP address. Simply just out of curiosity, whether or not the number of clicks on my ads could be influenced, I produced them and guess what happened? They were interpreted as invalid clicks. Adsense disabled my account and I have to admit it : they had a good reason to do so (stupid me, what a shame). However It was never my intention to harm the advertisers nor anyone else.

• I realised that the possibility to earn money with these ads had gone forever.

For hardworking affiliate webmasters, generating 100% of their multiple website income through Adsense, this must be a nightmare. Google has no obligation to explain its decision in detail.

So I begged to Google: Here are my sincere apologies. I'll never do it again pleas let me in again !!!

No way, don't waste your time, forget about it, don't pull on a dead horse. Google won't unlock your account again. Remember we live in the internet age and everything is automated. Google's answers to my sincere and arguing emails were no exception. They were completely robotized. So would this be the end of a dream earning an income with my website? Answer: NO. As the famous Dutch football player Johan Cruyff ones stated:

• Every disadvantage has its advantage.

I decided that I had to forget about Adsense forever being an internet advertising possibility for me and guess what I found out ? I was not the only one and this nightmare of the possibility of getting banned is discussed in forums all over the internet now. You want proof? Just google (yes this is a new verb) with "banned from adsense" and you will see. But what is more important is that the alternatives are given in these forums and on individual sites as well. Here I'am going to share with you what I discovered.







Clickbank-ad-sense-script, a new program that serves Clickbank based affiliate products in your website. These ads resemble adsense ads but a lot of webmasters are preferring them. Unlike pay per click this program pays for every sale you make in over 11,000 Clickbank products. The yield is higher than adsense because it pays you between 50 and 75% of product cost, wich can mean $ 100 in your pocket from only one click. Clickbank-ad-sense lets you make a selection of your favorite products that you believe are not competing with your own product. Similar programs are: AffiliateSensor and CBPlugin.

• You want more money making advertising solutions? Just read on.

Another creative way of adding something new is done by Chitika. Their eMiniMall is a CPC-based intelligent product merchandising service.
Alternative to static web banner ads it combines product merchandising, a recommandation engine and comparative shopping. Go to Chitika.com and have a look for yourself. One picture says more then a thousand words.

• There are pros and cons and every rose has its thorn but what do you think of this one?

Adbrite sells ad space on thousands of websites. There are two things you can do with Adbrite -- buy and sell ad space. If you are an advertiser they provide you with all sorts of websites. When you find the site you want to advertise on, you write your ad and pay. If approved by the webmaster your ad will appear on that site at the scheduled time. If you are a publisher you can set your own rates and approve or reject every ad that's purchased for your site. The revenue is split 75/25 in your favour. Adbrite provides publishers with more revenue and better ads by selling the ads directly to your visitors -- this is something the other ad systems don't do.

• The pay-per-click contextual advertising has grown into a $ 3 billion business.

Thanks to Google's Adsense network contextual advertising, with the short text based links that appear next to a website's content, is a very hot item on the internet now. Steve Balmer recently introduced Microsoft's version called Adcenter and Yahoo unveiled a pay-per-click beta program called Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN).

Let me give you my impressive "competitors" list that I have found in my search to survive my ban from Adsense:

adbrite, adcenter (beta), adengage, adgenta, adhearus, adsclick, affiliatesensor, allfeeds, bannerboxes, bidclix, bidvertiser, cbadwords, cbplugin, chitika, clicksaddirect, clicksor, contextweb, expoactive, fastclick, infograbber, intellitxt, kanoodle, mirago , miva, nixxie, quigo, revenuepilot, targetpoint, yahoo ypn (coming soon...).

I, Robot: How Do Search Engine Spiders and Robots Work?

By: Philip Nicosia

Some internet surfers still hold on to the mistaken belief that actual people visit each and every website and then input it for inclusion in the search engine's database. Imagine, if these were true! With billions of websites available on the internet and with a majority of these sites offering fresh content it will take thousands of people to achieve the tasks made by search engine spiders and robots - and even then they won't be as efficient or as thorough.

Search engine spiders and robots are pieces of code or software that have only one aim - seek content on the internet and within each and every individual web page out there. These tools have a very important role in how effectively search engines operate.

Search engine spiders and robots visit websites and get the necessary information that it needs to determine the nature and content of the website and then adds the data to the search engine's index. Search engine spiders and robots follow links from one website to another so that it can consistently and infinitely gather the necessary information. The ultimate goal of search engine spiders and robots is to compile a comprehensive and valuable database that can deliver the most relevant results to the search queries of visitors.

But how exactly do search engine spiders and robots work?

The whole process begins when a web page is sent to a search engine for submission. The submitted URL is added to the queue of websites that will be visited by the search engine spider. Submissions can be optional though because most spiders will be able to find the content in a web page if other websites link to the page. This is the reason why it is a good idea to build reciprocal links with other website. By enhancing the link popularity of your website and getting links from other sites that have the same topic as your website.

When the search engine spider robot visits the website, it checks if there is an existing robots.txt file. The file tells the robot which areas of the site are off limits to its probe - like certain directories that have no use for search engines. All search engine bots look for this text file so it is a good idea to put one even if it is blank.

The robots list and store all of the links found on a page and they follow each link to its destination website or page.







The robots then submit all of this information to the search engine, which in turn compiles the data received from all the bots and builds the search engine database. This part of the process already has the intervention of search engine engineers who write the algorithms employed in evaluating and scoring the information that the search engine bots compiled. The moment all of the information is added to the search engine database this information is already made available to search engine visitors who are making search queries in the search engine.

Getting Content for Your Site Free and Easy

Any avid website owner knows how critical it is to have a website that contains large amounts of genuine 'content'. These days a website pretty much lives or dies by the amount of content it has on it. A simple and brutal truth of today's Internet is that a site without increasing amounts of frequently updated content is not deemed important enough to merit frequent spidering by the Search Engines.

Successful search engine optimization experts tout that in today's online environment a website is successful because of several sequential steps occurring naturally online. That is...

- increased website content creates more search engine indexing opportunities, which results in more opportunities for organic search engine traffic;
- more search engine traffic leads to more online popularity and subsequently, increased viral online linking;
- this increased linking to a website results in more perceived relevancy by the search engines and, again, higher organic search engine listings; and,
- finally, these higher listings lead to more traffic, and the cycle continues.

So how does a website owner deal with this fact of doing business online? Simple. By providing an ever-increasing amount of content on their website.

But if you own several websites you understand how great a challenge it can be to be able to provide constantly updated, valid and useful content, usually in substantially large quantities via hundreds or thousands of webpages, for your website's visitors and information seekers.

So the way to solve this dilemma for most webmasters is to use content written by others. But the most common route to getting this type of information is to have to pay for a ghostwriter to write the content. This can get expensive so, again, one's website's content volume suffers.






Some webmasters use RSS feeds to scrape content from other websites, but to build static webpages from the scraped content can get into legal issues so this tactic can be rather risky.

And for those webmasters brave enough to write the needed content themselves usually face a difficult mountain to climb. That is, these days it's very tough to actually find the time or have the knowledge to do this. One can only write so many pages on the same topic before experiencing writer's 'burnout'.

So what would be the answer to this apparent dilemma of needing lots of website content but not having lasting viable routes to obtaining the needed content? Simple.

Grab content from free article directories. An article directory is specially designed for website owners and publishers to legally and freely take copyrighted articles, written by online authors willing to share their writings, and post on their website as content.

And one can find hundreds of article directories available on the Internet today and most have only one condition of use: there are terms of usage that website owners agree to follow before using the articles from the article directory. But outside of that there are no other restrictions, and no 'memberships' required.

So, in view of the issues surrounding creating content for one's website, as described above, and the absolutely necessity for a website to have voluminous and fresh content to stay ranked highly in the Search Engines, one can easily see how the free articles found at an article directory can be just the answer a website owner needs to give their websites a needed boost with the Search Engines.

No more having to pay for content. And no more struggling with writing the content yourself. Use whatever information you find at the article directory that you deem relevant and post it on your website, or blog, or forum.

Article directories. Free on-topic content for YOUR website. YOUR blog. YOUR ezine. YOUR forum. Cool.

Easy and Simple Steps to Get Listed in Search Engines

Search engines are one of THE best resource for free advertising. Better your web site's search engine position better be the traffic generation. 85% of internet users go to search engines and find the information they want.

So you better hurry to follow these simple tips to get guaranteed listing and good positioning in search engines.

1. Put a link to your new web site from already indexed web site(s). If you don't have a web site that already indexed then propose a joint venture with other web site owners for link exchanges. Needless to say that the web site you are going to exchange links must be indexed already. Search engine crawlers love to follow the links from one web site to other. So there will be more chances of your site crawled thru these links.

2. Put some content on every page. Minimize graphics. Search engines can not read graphics. Only ALT tags (not all search engines). So if there is graphic don't forget to put ALT tag. Try to sprinkle some important keywords that pertaining to your web site all through the content. Search engines give weight to the pages where the keyword appears more often. Again DON'T spam the search engines.

3. Links: Put links from every page to other important sections of your web site. Your home page may not contain details about your products. But make sure to insert links to other product pages. Most people keep buttons and graphics to links. Instead put text links. Though they don't look attractive to human eyes, but gives weight to your pages. For example instead of a button with 'search engine tips', you can keep a text link 'search engine tips' and link to that page. Certainly it is a very important keyword for a web site that sells an ebook on search engine optimization.






4. Metatags: Title tag is very important. Especially for Google. If you get a good position in Google means, your web site traffic will be really staggering. It is really worth it. Go to http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
Search for your web site related keywords and use them for title, keywords and to keep them in your content.


5. Update Your web site: Most webmasters neglect this part of search engine optimization. Do it on a regular basis like every 3 - 6 months. Add some content, change keywords according to popularity and update the present content etc. will do the job. My best way of updating my web site content is adding my articles to my web site.

Affiliate Marketing Services- The whole story!

By aisha danna

Affiliate Marketing is the online version of the age old practice of paying commission to agents who bring customers for merchants. It is a method of web business promotion and was conceptualized almost a decade back, when Jeff Bezos CEO of amazon.com offered commission to a lady to sell books for Amazon. The concept clicked and has bloomed since then, in-to a multi billion dollar industry. Affiliate Marketing is a performance based model where agents/affiliate get a share in revenue for generating clicks, leads or sales for a merchant/website.

The business model for affiliate marketing is quite simple and transparent. Merchants and affiliates join an Affiliate Network which provides a common platform for traders (merchant) and promoters (affiliates). The network provides growth opportunities by giving access to a wide base of affiliates who would promote business for the merchant. The merchant pays for performance i.e. payment is made for numbers of clicks lead generated or sales made and not for promotional services provided by the affiliate. The network apart from providing a common platform for B2B transaction also provides account management for the affiliate and the merchant, tracks the transactions made, generates requisite reports for merchants and affiliates, and may provide additional benefits like newsletter, compliance etc.

Affiliate networks are free to join. Affiliate fetch business for the merchants by linking the merchant's website on their own websites thereby driving more traffic to merchant's site and making the site more accessible/visible to the customer. In an Affiliate Marketing Network a merchant may associate with multiple affiliates, affiliates in turn may be promoting the merchants' website through several websites. The network apart from providing a wide base of affiliates provides services like a dedicated accounts team for the merchant and affiliate, newsletters for industry news, updates, seminars etc. The network tracks the leads/sales by affiliates, generates reports for merchants and affiliates and is the link for communication/transaction between the merchants and the affiliate.

Affiliate Marketing is a preferred tool of optimising business by merchants as it is a pure, performance-based approach towards marketing products/services. Through advanced tracking technologies, an accurate account of sales generated by an affiliate is provided ensuring complete transparency. Major investments in affiliate marketing come from blue chip companies. This marketing mode is bound to have an all-pervasive web presence and is already popular in retail sector, gambling and Internet services and has, a huge potential in travel, mobile companies, personal finance segment. Emergence of affiliate marketing is reflected by the emergence of organized forums like a4uforum.co.uk.

Blog Marketing,The Easiest Money Maker

By: McRand

You have heard about blogging, online diary,web log and some of the other new marketing tools.

Blogging has become about the fastest and easiest ways to make money on line. Search engines love blogs, therefore your blog will get indexed fastest, leading to a huge source of income that's just setting waiting for you to get it.

Blogging was around two or three years ago, but it wasn't use much for advertising. Until the last few years internet marketers became aware of the power in blogs.

You can find plenty of free to very inexpensive places to start a blog. A few of the top rated blog hosting services are Blogger, which is owned by Google, Wordpress and Moveable Type. If you already have a web hosting account somewhere, that runs cPanel & Fantastic, then you're in luck, because Wordpress blog software is just a couple of mouse clicks away from installing on one of your domains.

The easiest to get started and set up would have to be Blogger.com, since they are not only free, but they have a very simple step by step process for creating your blog. The only downside to Blogger is that the features that they offer are very limited. The upside to Blogger is that it's owned by Google, which is not a bad thing at all, if you know what I mean.

The most common ways that most Internet marketers are making a profit from blogs is by integrating Google Adsense into their blog. This is very simple to do and Blogger makes it even easier for you. You can also insert many other contextual advertisements into the blog such as Yahoo, Kanoodle, Chitika and many others as well as any other affiliate links you may have.

The other benefit to blogging is also the ability to add back links to your blog that point to your other websites. This is very important since the more back links that you have coming inbound to your websites, the better you will rank for the keywords you are promoting. You will also have to setup the proper keyword anchor links in your blog and on the pages of your websites that the links are pointing to.







Let's look at a summary of what needs to be done in order to take advantage of blogging.

First, you need to setup a blog either at Blogger or one of the other online services mentioned earlier or create a blog on your own domain name & web hosting account.

Once you have your blog setup, it's time to start monetizing it by adding in contextual advertising such as Google Adsense and or affiliate links. Now add in some targeted keyword anchor links that point back to your other websites.

All you have to do now is post to your blog a couple times per week and make sure that you are pinging after you make your new post. Sending out a ping is a way to let the search engines know that you have new content on your blog. The search engines will come to crawl your blog and start indexing your new content and follow all those targeted links that point back to your other websites. Are you starting to see how powerful this is?

Now just keep posting to your blogs and if you keep up with it and continue to add new content on a regular basis, you'll start reaping the rewards of blogging.

So, blogging is essential. Not only does it improve your web presence, it also means you can keep in touch with clients and prospects more easily. And all the marketing research you can find will tell you that keeping in regular touch with your customers is an important component in gaining new business. So get blogging

Affiliate Marketing - Dos and Don't

By aisha danna
