How to Increase Your Adsense Earnings Using Ads Category


Every now and then, both pro-bloggers and newbie-bloggers keep looking for a better way to tweak their Adsense in other to earn more.
There are many and different ways or methods one can increase Google Adsense earnings. And you might ask yourself, why should I keep reading this when I have read over the same thing all over the Internet times without number? All what I can say… keep reading!
This method, which you might already know or must have come across is very simple and effective but most bloggers keep off their eyes from it. This method is very effective in increasing adsense earnings apart from the controversial ad placement, color blend and bigger size. I called this method ‘Category Filter‘.

This is what we will be doing…
We are going to check through all the categories (about 50) and block those that are performing very poor.
This method is used to allow or block categories of ads from showing on our blogs or sites.
In short, this is how Google put it;
Category blocking allows you to prevent ads from upto 50 categories and sub-categories from appearing on your site
Okay, let us go on to block the less productive ads categories in our Adsense account…

1. Login to your Google Adsense account and click ‘Allow or block ads‘ tab (in the New Interface)

2. Select ‘General Categories‘

3. Select the product you wish to work on. Here, I choose the products one after the other from ‘Content’ to ‘Mobile Content’ excluding ‘Search’ because it has no category settings

4. Scroll down to see ‘All categories’ in tabular form with the ‘Category name’, ‘Ad Impression (%)’ and ‘Earnings (%)’

5. Check through the list of categories thoroughly, including the ‘Ad Impression’ and ‘Earnings’

6. Weigh the ‘Ad Impression’ against ‘Earnings’ for each category

7. Block any category that is performing very low. For example, if the ‘Arts & Entertainment‘ category has ’15% Ad Impressions’ and ’0.8% Earnings’, then you need no prophet to tell you that this category should be blocked.

The main reason we have to block the un-performing ads categories is simple. We need to create room for well-performing ads to appear on our blog so that enough visitors can see them and thus, increasing our CTR which inturns increases our Google Adsense income.
Google will even recommend not to block some categories by using the phrase

Too big to block
That is because that particular ads category is performing well on your blog/site.
However, some ‘Sensitive Categories’ might overlapped with some ‘General Categories’ and ‘Sub-categories’. So make sure you also check out the ‘Sensitive Category‘.
Repeat this process for all the products you are running on Google Adsense. For me, I have just 3 products (excluding Adsense for Search) which are Adsense for Content, Adsense for Feed and Adsense for Mobile Content.

The above lists are not limited to free ways to get traffic to ones websites. They are just few of the few ways to do it. In my upcoming series of articles, I will be analyzing all these free traffic sources one by one.

Turn Your Blog Traffic to Cash with These Simple Methods



Besides being a good communication tool, blogging is also a great way to make money online. If you are a new blogger that is just starting out or you are already into blogging for long, and you really want to turn your blog traffic to money, you can choose from several methods of making money blogging. Today, I will be talking on three most popular methods you can use to make money from your blog traffic.

Simple Methods to Make Money from Your Blog

1st Method: Google Adsense & Other PPC Ads
Google Adsense is a good and easy way to monetize a WordPress blog but it requires a little more effort. You need to find a specific profitable niche, build a WordPress blog around it, start writing some good content base on this niche, and keep driving traffic to it. Do some basic SEO, backlinking by getting links from other related and authority blogs. Visit other related blogs and leave meaningful and worthy comments on their blogs, or by doing a link exchange with other blogger. The objective of all these is to get more traffic to your blog and more traffic means more clicks, and more clicks means more adsense cash.

2nd Method: Get Paid to Blog
With this method, you create a WordPress blog, write good contents to it and promote it to get more traffic. Then go on to sign-up with Paid Blogging Networks like Pay Per Post or ReviewMe to see what opportunities are available to you. There are several advertisers on these websites that are looking for bloggers who are ready to help them spread the word, and they are willing to pay. So go on with them, write about their services or products, review their products and get paid for it.

3rd Method: Affiliate Marketing with WordPress Blogs

This method is the most sophisticated of them all… you make money with affiliate marketing thru blogging. The whole idea is this; you set up a WordPress blog around a specific niche, put up several content around this niche and drive traffic to it. But what makes the content for this method different is that all your content must pre-sell your visitors to convince them to click your affiliate links. If the visitor make a purchase after clicking your affiliate link, you get commission for the sale.
Although, the above methods of generating cash from your blog is not limited to just those 3 methods. There are so many other ways you can monetized your WordPress blog such as PPM, selling ad space on your blog, and so on.

Ultimately, which model you choose depends on how much time and resources you can dedicate to creating and managing your blogs. Your best bet is to choose a low-investment option at first. When you get the hang of it, you can venture into other blogging models as well.
If you’re serious about making money from your blog through Google AdSense and affiliate marketing, I strongly recommend that you sign up on this Blog.

5 Ways To Make Money With a Blog (Blogger Or Wordpress )




To be honest, I had money on my mind when I started this blogging tips blog. It is part of my plan to make money from blogging and that is one of the main reasons I created this blog, being one of the blogs I plan to make money from. I am telling you this because I am not like those gurus that claims they don’t intend to make money from their blog in the first place.

So I will be sharing my experience, as usual, so that this blog readers can learn from it. And this time around, I will be sharing with you 5 simple ways to make money from blogging.



#1 Google Adsense:

Yes – you can make money through blogging by putting Google Advertisements on your blog. To my observation, Google Adsense is the best way to get passive income from blog. All you have to do is put Google Adsense advertising on your blog and then continue with your own blogging. It is that simple but getting your Adsense application accepted might not be that easy – from experience. But once you get your Adsense application accepted, the next thing is to put Google Adsense code into your blog
and start making money from it. Mind you, you need a lot of organice traffic (traffice from search engines) to get optimum result from Google Adsense but surely you can get some cash from it easily by just working hard on your blog.

For me, Google Adsense is working pretty well for me. Getting your first Google Adsense check is a good tip that you’re on the right track.

#2 Blog Post Advertising:

Blog Post Advertising (BPA) is a good way to make money blogging. In fact, this is one of the best methods used by bloggers around the world to make money with their blogs. With Blog Post Advertising, which is also known as Sponsored Review or Sponsored Post, you get paid to review product or service on your blog post. In my opinion, it is a great way to make money blogging because while doing this, you are creating useful posts for your blog readers. That is, you can use blog post advertising as source of blog post idea while make money blogging. Like TLA, you can sell blog post adevertising spot by yourself or submit your blog to BPA Brokers.

Some Blog Post Advertising brokers you can use are Linkworth, ReviewMe, SponsoredReview and Blogsvertise. While you might not make thousands with BPA, it is a good source of revenue for bloggers.

#3 Banner Advertising:

Just like TLA, banner advertising should also be easy to make money with, with blogging. All what you need is a good SERP, PR and traffic rank, then offer Banner Advertising service on your blog and start making money with it. Although, for me on this blog, it is not that easy to make money with banner advertising but I make money with banner advertising with my other blogs linked with affiliate marketing.

I still have plans to use banner advertising, maybe from BuySellAds program or other affiliate programs, in near future to make money with it.

#4 Text Link Advertising:
This is one of the easiest way to make money blogging. so bloggers will find it easy to make money from text link advertising. What you need is a blog and then optimize it to have a high SERP, PR and traffic rank. And then you can offer Text Link Advertising (TLA) service on your blog and start making money from it. You can also sell Text Link Advertising trough webmaster forum such as digital point forum or V7Network forum. If you do not have time to sell text link advertising by your self, we can always submit our blog to Text Link Advertise (TLA) broker service. We just need to submit our blog with right info and then leave the rest to TLA broker.

You can use Teliad and LinkWorth as a TLA broker. You may be not make big money but it will be enough to cover your blog web hosting cost for two years.

#5 Affiliate Marketing:

Affiliate marketing can be a great way to make money from blogging. Affiliate means that you sell someone's  product and get commission each time people buy the product through your affiliate link. Getting affiliate link and integrating it on your blog isn’t the hard part, but making your blog visitors to buy the product through your affiliate link is the hard part.

Although I do not have any affiliate product to sell here on this blog (at the moment), but I have it on some of my other blogs like my weight loss blog but I am not making much out of it but I know with effective marketing, you can make something out of it.

Final Words

By monetizing our blogs the right way, it can be a great source of income for us. Boldly, I can tell you that there are successful bloggers who are making up to six figures income from their blogs. Thou, I am not within the rank of those successful bloggers yet, but I am already making some bucks through my blogs and I here, I have shared with you 5 ways you too can make money with your blog(s) and I hope this money making article has been helpful to you especially for bloggers who just start their make money blogging journey.

How to make people click ads on your blog?


Even if you have really big traffic on your site it does not mean that you will get tons of clicks to your ads (google adsense or any other). You may believe me or not but there are a few ways you may increase clicks to your ads without breaking any ad program rules… Some people just put ads anywhere on their site and are waiting for a huge revenue. But it does not work this way. You need to know what are you doing or you will have to learn it from your own mistakes and loose a lot of time.


I. Optimize you ads.
Some time ago google have posted on their blog a nice article about optimal ads placement. Below is picture that was posted on their site:

Optimal ads placement by Google

But you must know that there is no such thing as best place for any ad on any blog! Treat your visitors the way that you want to be treated. If you are too offensive they will close web browser before read any content and of course you will get no clicks to your ads! You have to experiment with multiple ad formats and locations to see what works best with your web site traffic.
There are a few rules you should follow:
  1. Make sure that your ads fit subject you write about.
  2. Choose a bold color for title of the ad to make it seen by your readers.
  3. Remember that too flashy ads are ignored by most users – make them fit your website.
  4. Put your ads in places that most readers will stop reading for a while (after some great idea, conclusion). Places they want think or test this what you have written.
  5. Choose one of the strategies described below to make your content work for you.
II. Make your content work for you!
There are a few strategies to follow when you are writing content for you blog. Some may sound little funny and some are harder to use but it really works! You may choose other strategy for each of your next three posts and test what makes your visitors clicking most ads.

Strategy No 1 – the hardest one
Make your content so informative and interesting that it would change life of your visitors (or at last give solution to problem they want to resolve). If they love your article so much, most of them will want to say thank you. Some of them will write stupid comments “thanks”, “great article”, “I love you…” etc. that bring nothing interesting to subject of your post and won’t let you earn a buck… But some smarter ones know what the ads are for and would click them for saying: “thanks – great content, you should make living of writing such a great posts!”…

Strategy No 2 – not as hard
Check what interesting people are talking about on social networking websites. Write short interesting articles about it. But don’t put to much information in it! Write only some brief most interesting facts and make people say “Hey… what an interesting subject… but I want to know more…”. Make sure that your ads fit topics you write about. People will click to find more information. In this strategy you can’t put any links to additional resources or people will choose to click it instead of your ads.

Strategy No 3 – probably the easiest one…

Make very interesting titles for your articles. But make content as boring as possible. Make them long and hard to read. Do not format it, do not use lists, paragraphs. Make people scream “Let me out of here!!!”. They will want to leave your site as soon as possible. Unfortunately some of them will close web browser with your site and will want to immediately forget about your article but… some of really bored visitors will click anything they see to leave your site and run away, the farer the better. If you will have some luck they would click your ads and you will get your revenue…

Third one may sound like a joke but I have used to visit a few blogs in my life that are using it! It really made me click the ad to find anything that may be more interesting that visited blog! Let me know what is working best for you and good luck with using it on your blog!

Sherry Brydson: Canada’s richest woman you’ve never heard of.

Companies:

Until this morning, Sherry Brydson was just a very rich woman content to live her life out of the public spotlight and far away from the media glare that made her fortune.

Now, she is known as the wealthiest woman in Canada, worth an estimated $6.5 billion, according to Bloomberg.

All that cherished anonymity is long gone.

A quick Internet search will now take you to aerial images of her mansion in Victoria, B.C. and to stories of her various philanthropic endeavours.

What you won’t find is much information about Brydson’s personal life. She has clearly learned a trick or two over the years about how to stay under the radar. Basic facts such as her age, marital status or whether she has children all remain a closely-guarded secret.

“Most people don’t know she exists,” Trevor Cole, a writer who has covered the family told Bloomberg. “People who read the paper know the name Thomson and know that they are rich people, but beyond that they have no sense of them.”

Here’s what we can tell you about this remarkably wealthy woman:
  • Sherry Brydson is the granddaughter of Roy Thomson, the first Baron of Fleet Street and the family force behind a media empire that today includes the Globe and Mail and Thomson Reuters.
  • The Thomson family was listed as the richest family in Canada in 2012 by Canadian Business magazine, with a combined family fortune of $20.1 billion.
  • Brydson herself owns a 23 per cent stake in Woodbridge Co., the firm that manages the family assets, according to Bloomberg.
  • She also has her fingers in various entrepreneurial endeavours, including a turboprop manufacturer in B.C., Ontario’s Moose FM radio network, and a hotel developer in Nova Scotia.
In 2009, Brydson donated $5 million to the YWCA Toronto in memory of her mother, Irma Thomson Brydson, who died in 1966. The money, one of the largest gifts to a service organization in Canada, went towards the construction of an affordable housing project for women and children.

A supporter of the arts, Brydson later held a fundraiser for the same cause at her Elmwood Spa in Toronto featuring the art work of painter Charles Pachter.

“Sherry Brydson believes that well-being comes from a balance of inner and outer beauty, as well as living within a healthy environment and society,” according to a media release issued in connection with the event.

In 2006, Brydson and cousin David Thomson paid $5.7 million for a collection of sacred Tsimshian native artworks after the Royal BC Museum in Victoria was denied a grant to buy the pieces.

The pair later funded a national tour to show the works publicly.

“These treasures were intended to be passed from generation to generation. The way they were taken was one of the biggest mistakes that was ever made, and has been repaid,” Brydson told the Globe and Mail at the time.

According to Bloomberg’s ranking, Brydson is the third richest person in Canada, behind her cousin, David, head of Thomson Corp. and owner of the Winnipeg Jet's hockey team. Legendary B.C. business baron, Jimmy Pattison, won top title.

SOAP MAKING

Introduction
With practice, soap making is not difficult and is suitable as a small- scale business. It uses simple equipment and vegetable oils or animal fats as raw materials, each of which is likely to be locally available in most countries.
However, it is more difficult to produce high-quality hard soap, which in some countries is
necessary to compete with imported products or those produced by large-scale manufacturers
There are also certain hazards in producing soap, which any potential producer must be aware of to avoid injury. This technical brief describes the procedures needed to make a variety of simple soaps and includes a number of recipes for different types of soap.

Duplicate Content Filter: What it is and how it works




Duplicate Content has become a huge topic of discussion lately, thanks to the new filters that search engines have implemented. This article will help you understand why you might be caught in the filter, and ways to avoid it. We'll also show you how you can determine if your pages have duplicate content, and what to do to fix it. 

Search engine spam is any deceitful attempts to deliberately trick the search engine into returning inappropriate, redundant, or poor-quality search results. Many times this behavior is seen in pages that are exact replicas of other pages which are created to receive better results in the search engine. 

Many people assume that creating multiple or similar copies of the same page will either increase their chances of getting listed in search engines or help them get multiple listings, due to the presence of more keywords.

In order to make a search more relevant to a user, search engines use a filter that removes the duplicate content pages from the search results, and the spam along with it. Unfortunately, good, hardworking webmasters have fallen prey to the filters imposed by the search engines that remove duplicate content. 

It is those webmasters who unknowingly spam the search engines, when there are some things they can do to avoid being filtered out. In order for you to truly understand the concepts you can implement to avoid the duplicate content filter, you need to know how this filter works.

First, we must understand that the term "duplicate content penalty" is actually a misnomer. When we refer to penalties in search engine rankings, we are actually talking about points that are deducted from a page in order to come to an overall relevancy score. 

But in reality, duplicate content pages are not penalized. Rather they are simply filtered, the way you would use a sieve to remove unwanted particles. Sometimes, "good particles" are accidentally filtered out.

Knowing the difference between the filter and the penalty, you can now understand how a search engine determines what duplicate content is. There are basically four types of duplicate content that are filtered out:
  1. Websites with Identical Pages - These pages are considered duplicate, as well as websites that are identical to another website on the Internet are also considered to be spam. Affiliate sites with the same look and feel which contain identical content, for example, are especially vulnerable to a duplicate content filter. Another example would be a website with doorway pages. Many times, these doorways are skewed versions of landing pages. However, these landing pages are identical to other landing pages. Generally, doorway pages are intended to be used to spam the search engines in order to manipulate search engine results.
  1. Scraped Content - Scraped content is taking content from a web site and repackaging it to make it look different, but in essence it is nothing more than a duplicate page. With the popularity of blogs on the internet and the syndication of those blogs, scraping is becoming more of a problem for search engines.
  1. E-Commerce Product Descriptions - Many eCommerce sites out there use the manufacturer's descriptions for the products, which hundreds or thousands of other eCommerce stores in the same competitive markets are using too. This duplicate content, while harder to spot, is still considered spam.
  1. Distribution of Articles - If you publish an article, and it gets copied and put all over the Internet, this is good, right? Not necessarily for all the sites that feature the same article. This type of duplicate content can be tricky, because even though Yahoo and MSN determine the source of the original article and deems it most relevant in search results, other search engines like Google may not, according to some experts.
So, how does a search engine's duplicate content filter work? Essentially, when a search engine robot crawls a website, it reads the pages, and stores the information in its database. Then, it compares its findings to other information it has in its database. 

Depending upon a few factors, such as the overall relevancy score of a website, it then determines which are duplicate content, and then filters out the pages or the websites that qualify as spam. Unfortunately, if your pages are not spam, but have enough similar content, they may still be regarded as spam.

There are several things you can do to avoid the duplicate content filter. First, you must be able to check your pages for duplicate content. Using our Similar Page Checker, you will be able to determine similarity between two pages and make them as unique as possible. By entering the URLs of two pages, this tool will compare those pages, and point out how they are similar so that you can make them unique.

Since you need to know which sites might have copied your site or pages, you will need some help. We recommend using a tool that searches for copies of your page on the Internet: www.copyscape.com. Here, you can put in your web page URL to find replicas of your page on the Internet. This can help you create unique content, or even address the issue of someone "borrowing" your content without your permission.

Let's look at the issue regarding some search engines possibly not considering the source of the original content from distributed articles. Remember, some search engines, like Google, use link popularity to determine the most relevant results. Continue to build your link popularity, while using tools like www.copyscape.com to find how many other sites have the same article, and if allowed by the author, you may be able to alter the article as to make the content unique.

If you use distributed articles for your content, consider how relevant the article is to your overall web page and then to the site as a whole. Sometimes, simply adding your own commentary to the articles can be enough to avoid the duplicate content filter; the Similar Page Checker could help you make your content unique. 

Further, the more relevant articles you can add to compliment the first article, the better. Search engines look at the entire web page and its relationship to the whole site, so as long as you aren't exactly copying someone's pages, you should be fine.

If you have an eCommerce site, you should write original descriptions for your products. This can be hard to do if you have many products, but it really is necessary if you wish to avoid the duplicate content filter. Here's another example why using the Similar Page Checker is a great idea. It can tell you how you can change your descriptions so as to have unique and original content for your site. 

This also works well for scraped content also. Many scraped content sites offer news. With the Similar Page Checker, you can easily determine where the news content is similar, and then change it to make it unique.

Do not rely on an affiliate site which is identical to other sites or create identical doorway pages. These types of behaviors are not only filtered out immediately as spam, but there is generally no comparison of the page to the site as a whole if another site or page is found as duplicate, and get your entire site in trouble.

The duplicate content filter is sometimes hard on sites that don't intend to spam the search engines. But it is ultimately up to you to help the search engines determine that your site is as unique as possible. By using the tools in this article to eliminate as much duplicate content as you can, you'll help keep your site original and fresh.
