Is Ivory becoming cheaper?

It is amusing how people assume things and stick to their assumption for probably ever without knowing they are on wrong premises.

A fellow passenger in the train asked me about  how Google AdSense works. His expression of disbelief was genuine when he realized that the money through AdSense is totally free; you don't have to sell anything to make money. This concept has captivated millions in the world.

Ivory Products maker:


The fellow passenger is in ivory goods making business. He makes a wide range of ivory products that decorate the showcases in the homes of presidents of nations to bloggers like you and I.

His assumption was if ivory is expensive,  then, the keywords related to ivory should be very competitive among advertisers of ivory product dealers and publishers should be making big money on ivory related blog posts and articles.


Ivory pays less:
Actually, ivory pays less; it is around $0.94 per click.
Therefore, his assumption is wrong and if I assume that ivory is cheap because of its low cost bidding by Adwords managers, I am also equally wrong.

New procedures for approving AdSense application!

I am sure you might have come across several posts on alternative to adsense. I hope you never need to try them. Let me tell you this: "Nothing can ever be a remote alternative to Google AdSense.

I agree there are alternatives to AdSense but poor ones. Nothing can ever replace Google AdSense. Till date, I have never read a positive testimonial on any of these alternatives to AdSense.

Long before I read about upcoming ads similar to Google ads by Yahoo and MSN. About them too, there is hardly any mention in blogs and forums.

Ah yes, I almost forgot. Are you aware that the Google has formulated new procedures for approving AdSense application from publishers? It involves two stage verification by the AdSense team.

AdSense video tutorials that stand above the crowd.

Have you ever thought those who claim to be earning a full time income through Google AdSense are lying? I thought so but soon came to conclusion that they are not lying but exaggerating. I thought their pride would be at stake if they disclose the real (actually low) earnings.

I received my first Google AdSense check after 8 months.

I too maintain several blogs.
I write useful posts that are 100% unique.

Nevertheless, the earnings per day never exceeded $11.
Why?
What am I doing wrong?
What else do I have to learn to implement to see consistent $10 per day?

Are there any Google AdSense video tutorials that stand above the crowd?
Can anyone assure their strategies would fetch $10 per day through 5 blogs/websites?


No! I don't think there are any clear cut methods to earn $10 per day through AdSense.

Top paying adsense keywords

Don't ask me how much each of the following keywords are bidded for by the AdWords players. The amount keeps changing depending on the competition.

However, the basic price may not go down drastically. I know a couple of my online gurus who are adept at weaving blog posts and articles around high paying and less competitive keywords and milk the Google advertisers to their heart content.

I somehow lack the technique. Whenever I tried to write a high paying keyword blog post, my natural writing style always interfered and I end up scrapping the blog post.

So, how about you? Are you comfortable in using high paying AdWords? If so, pick from the list below after finding out how much each can get you approximately.

* best student loan
* refinance house
* voice conference software
* mesothelioma victims
*student loan consolidation
* asbestos attorneys
* liposuction Beverly Hills
* air ambulance

Adsense revenue from feed directories.

Oops! I have failed to teach my SEO trainees that they can earn a few extra money by submitting their blog's feed to certain feed directories that share their AdSense revenue.

I have been teaching several people to earn money online through various ways and AdSense tutorial is certainly one among them.

I have introduced to my trainees several websites and blogs that share their AdSense revenue. To participate and earn online through Google AdSense through revenue sharing sites is quite simple and easy.

Recently, I came to know that a few RSS feed directories allow bloggers and webmasters to earn through a share of their AdSense money.

How it works?
Once you submit your site's RSS feed to feedbess.com, it will be included in the search results along with a display of AdSense.

Feednees.com let you garner 100% of the AdSense revenue.

Improve your AdSense income.

I thought by changing the template of this blog will improve my AdSense income. The new blog design tool offered by the blogger platform provided many options to monetize the blog with AdSense ad formats.

I tried it in this blog which you can see. I also included an image in header though it is irrelevant to this blog's topic.

I have observed a slight improvement in my AdSense income since I implemented the changes. Not a big increase but still some improvement when compared to a few months before.

Do you like this template? Do you have feedback for me? I welcome criticism.

AdSense ready Wordpress themes cannot serve the purpose.

I wonder why people use the so called, "Adsense ready Wordpress themes'! What is so special in them? In fact, they look pretty ordinary when compared to templates I am seeing at hell of a lot of places.

I firmly believe adsense ready Wordpress Themes cannot increase your adsense clicks.

AdSense is a hot topic always. We all read adsense related discussion that are ubiquitous. Everyone is voicing opinion about placement of Google ads, layout of then, color combination are essential in increasing Adsense income.

Everyone is so oblivious about the quality of Google ads that plays the vital part in enticing a click. The title and those two sentences in a Google ad is the sole deciding factor for AdSense income.

A Google ad may lead to a very valuable product or great information but it is the quality of the copywriting that decides the fate of clicks.

If AdSense publishers stop spending time in experimenting with the placement of Google AdSense ads and volunteer to write adwords for advertisers, they will be helping both the parties.

Let me be the first to offer my adwords writing services. Advertisers on Google may please contact with their requirements. Pay me only if you are satisfied with my work.

Know your adsense earnings from your blogger dashboard.

Did you see the "Monetize" button on your blogger dashboard? It is a new feature added by Blogger. It helps us to know our AdSense earnings without logging into our AdSense account.

I have several blogs hosted by blogger. From my dashboard, I can find out how much each blog has earned through AdSense by just clicking on the "Monetize" button.

I can also know how much every blog has earned yesterday, last week and all time etc.
The report gives the full statistics like Page Impression, clicks % and CTR.

You can also remove the AdWords if you wanted to from this new feature from blogger.

Thank you Google! You continue to amaze me.

Adsense consultant gets you.....

Getting the approval from the might Google for your AdSense application is becoming a daunting task.

The Internet is full of cries and owes about consistent rejections by Google and the reasons they give cannot help the applicants to rectify their short comings and re-apply.

Recently I chanced upon a blogger that promises AdSesne approval in 48 hours. No, I don't know how he is going to it. Yes, it is a 'he' and he charges Rs.2000 for his services.

It is a guaranteed adsense approval.

Go and pay a visit to Nishant-yep, that's his name.

Free web sites to increase adsense earnings.

When my AdSense income suddenly started increasing, naturally I was very happy. But I never thought to find out the reason for the increase in AdSesne earnings.

I thought one should analyse the reasons when only something goes wrong. And I a wrong in my assumption. When my AdSense income showed signs of improvement, I should analyse the reasons for it so that I can increase my AdSensr earnings more.

But I don't know how to analyse the reasons for adsense income improvement. Then, I was asked to meet the AdSense girl who could help me to uncover the secrets to AdSense income.

I complied and paid a visit to AdSense Girl and I found that she is selling ready made web sites on various niches. But how can that help me to find out the secrets to adsense income? I am never nterested in ready made web sites. Was I wrongly directed?

Could be!

Changing AdSense background increases CTR.

Shall we say millions of people are looking for ways to increase their AdSense CTR? If so, those advertise through Google will be exploring ways to get higher conversion rates-right?

Well, I am not advertising and I am only a publisher. Yes, I am one of those millions who are looking to increase the CTR but I also wish for a higher conversion ratio for the advertisers.

I read in a blog that changing the background of AdSense is a sure way to get more clicks-is that so? What is your experience?

Can be insert images, patterns in our AdSense? if so, is it allowed? if allowed, do you have any idea how to do it?

Question and more questions; where is the answer?

No Google ads below the title?

Now here is a news that I find it somewhat odd and confusing. I was reading the blog of a compatriot and I came across a post in which he has written that showing adsense ad units below the header of the post leads to it’s policy violation.

Is that true? How do you check out this rule? I have a WP blog in which the ads appear at the top of the post but so far there are no clicks on that.

I have subscribed to the feeds of the most useful and active forum on Google Adsense and I must read it daily. What a laziness has crept in me!

I know it is a good place to have the ads by Google but if it violates Google's policy, what is the solution? The Bombay blogger Rohit suggests to place adbrite ads.

Know your blog's ads by Google on other countries.

May I right in assuming that many of you have not heard about the Google Sandbox? It is a wonderful tool for bloggers and webmasters. In fact, I would say it is a must.

The tool has two boxes.
In the first box you either key in a keyword or an URL.
In the next box, you either choose 'Auto' or choose any country frpm the drop down menu.

Hit the submit button and you will see several ads, a screen full of ads by Google, all varying from each other. It shows different ads that will be displayed in different countries for the key word or the URL you have keyed in.

I saw this wonderful tool in a blog by an Indian. Go to Labnol.org to use this tool.

Increase CTR for your adsense.

I bet no one would show indifference to an article that says,"Ways to increase your AdSense CTR'.

Sure, we all might have read hundred of blog posts that deal with AdSense increase but still, we won't discard another blog post that promises more tips that are new.

Mostly it may contain nothing that we don't know of already but rarely, we may find something new. But this requires sincere reading of the said blog posts.

Here is one such article that I read a few minutes before that I felt like sharing with you.

"20 Powerful Ways to Boost Your Adsense CTR".

$3000 per month through adsense?

It is quite an attractive figure for most of us-right? But is it really possible? Our immediate reaction will sure be negative based on our present earnings.

I am not even averaging $1 per day from my seven blogs. How about you?

Blogging Secret has proposed something for us. He wants us to create 100 blogs!

Here is his calculation:
Google Adsense - $1 x 100 blogs x 30 days = $3000 per month.

Sounds optimistic but....

When I am working more than 12 hours a day to maintain seven blogs, how can I maintain 100 blogs? Where do I go for content for 100 blogs of different niches?

The adsense myth.

Though it is reported that some make upto 1000$ per day through adsense, the majority of adsense earners report only a few cents a day.

Why? What is the reason? Any concrete tips to increase adsense revenue?

Of the three question, I have read hundreds of tips in as many places as the answer to the last question. And I never found anything new in all those answers.

Two major changes were recommended in all these answers; change the format and change the layout. But nothing worked for me and so too for all the majority.

To me, irrelevant ads by Google is the main reason. Even in Mashable which attracts thousands of readers, I saw irrelevant ads by Google. Moreover, whatever ads that appeared in Mashable.com, they are worth only a few cents per click(<10 cents).

I invite suggestions, recommendations and experience from this blog readers. Let me compile them and test them.

Rounders template and adsense.

I have been watching the AdSense ads on this blog and man, what a disappointment!

I am seeing only two ads by Google most of the time and one of them is Google AdSense itself and the other is about 'Ibibo'. I already posted an article on 'Ibibo' and there is no need to mention about the futility of participating in it.

Oh, yes that Google ad about 'Desmartini' is the third ad. I think I attribute for the lack of ads that are relevant to the post is the Rounders Template in the new blogger version. It used to be better in the classic version.

But I saw a major shift in relevant ads when I modify this template to a three column one. Just make a study about this and give your feedback here. I hope to learn a few tricks.

Before I make any money on AdSense, I would like very much to see relevant ads by Google.
