How to Earn from Adsense Referrals : Part 2

So, this is wat you waitng for :D

- Can I refer myself?

Keep in mind you may not click your own ads nor encourage conversions for
deceitful reasons. For more information, please review the AdSense Program
Policies.

- Why aren't some of the referral units appearing on my page?

Our program policies now allow only three referral units to be placed on
any page. If you place more than three instances of referral code on a
single webpage, the additional referral units will not be displayed. If
you remove the extra referral code from your page, so that are three
referral units or fewer, your referrals should display correctly.

- Can I create referral ads?

If you're an AdWords advertiser, you can sign up to participate in the
Pay-Per-Action Beta test, which will allow you to set up your own
pay-per-action campaigns. When you create a pay-per-action campaign, the
ads you create will be available to AdSense publishers through the
referrals beta. You can sign up for the AdWords Pay-Per-Action Beta test
on their sign-up page:

How to Earn from Adsense Referrals? Part 1

Referrals is a feature of AdSense that allows you to increase your revenue
while increasing your users' awareness of useful products and services. By
adding a referral button to your site, you can direct users to non-Google
products or Google products like AdSense and AdWords. When your referral
connects your users to one of our referral products, they'll learn how to
monetize their website or improve their web browsing experience, while
you'll generate earnings.

- How do I earn with referrals?

You'll be paid whenever a user clicks on one of your referral ads and
performs a specific action defined by the advertiser. You will be credited
for a referral as long as the user completes the advertiser's conversion
criteria within 30 days of clicking on your ad. Keep in mind your earnings
from referrals will vary depending on the product you're referring. For
Google products, you can view a full list of pricing guidelines in our
Help Center at
https://www.google.com/support/adsen...y?answer=25889. For
non-Google products, your potential earnings will be displayed on the
product details page for every product.

- How do I implement a referral unit?

You can generate the code you'll need to add a referral unit to your site
by signing in to your AdSense account, selecting the 'AdSense Setup' tab,
and choosing 'Referrals' as the product. From there, you'll be guided
through the process of choosing a referral unit that will fit your site's
audience and appearance. For a detailed walkthrough of setting up a
referral unit, please see our Referrals Quick Start Guide at

PS: Please wait for the next part!

Did you want to earn more with your Adsense Placement?

The following are six ways that you can do this and increase your revenue at the same time:

1) Find the right place- Most website visitors read content that is in the middle of a webpage. As a result, the best place to put your Adsense block is in the top part of the page, at the beginning of your web content. You want to weave the Google Ads into your web content to give the appearance that they are extra links which expand on the information of the page.

2) Use the Large Rectangle-With Google Adsense, you have the option of picking different ad formats. Most of the time people opt to use the Leaderboard (728x90) or Wide Skyscraper (160x600) style ads. Unfortunately, this is the wrong choice, because both look like blatant advertisements. Instead smart webmasters have found that using the Large Rectangle (336x280) yields the best amount of click-thrus.

3) Ditch the border- Many people experience a sharp increase in Adsense revenue when they changing their border. What they change is very simple…they get rid of the border on their Adsense blocks. This is another way to make the advertisements look like useful web content.

4) Adapt the font- Whenever you write content, it should be the same font size and style as your Google Adsense block. This will help make it appear that the advertisements are a natural part of your website.

5) Match the colors- In addition to changing the fonts, you also should match the colors of your website. For instance, if your content is written in black, and your hyperlinks are blue, then the Adsense blocks should also be the same color. Again, this helps the advertisements appear to be normal web content.

6) Don't have too many distractions- On a webpage, it is important to give web visitor a limited number of options. By having too many links and graphics, the web visitor might go to a section that doesn't help increase your profits. While it is important to inform and entertain your web visitor, it is also vital that you monetize your site. So if the main focus of your site is to earn an income through Google Adsense, then get rid of all non-essential links and graphics.

By taking the time to implement these six simple steps, you'll see a dramatic increase in the click-thru ratio of your ads. If added to all of the content of your site, your Adsense income will skyrocket!

Why I Make Mistake?

There is no question that you can make some good money with
Google AdSense, but you’re setting yourself up for disaster if
you make any of these Top 10 mistakes!


1. Do not use fake information when opening your Google AdSense
account.

Google says that’s a no-no and they will cut your account off
and keep all the money you may have earned. Besides, trying to
hide your true identity can cause serious problems with the
I.R.S. or whoever your tax authority is.

2. Do not hack or modify Google AdSense code other than to
change the parameters that Google authorizes you to change.

Any attempt to bypass Google’s built-in algorithms not only
poses a danger to the integrity of the network, but it
threatens the financial modle that Google operates under.
You’re not dealing with some Mom-and-Pop company here, and
Google has the legal muscle and deep enough pockets to drag you
through every court in the land if you damage their business
with your hacking antics.

3. Keep AdSense ads off of your registration, confirmation, and
all “thank you” pages.

Don’t ask me why you can’t put your ads there. It makes sense
to me that those would be wonderful locations. Google thinks
otherwise, however, and doing so is a hanging offense according
to their Terms of Service.

4. Do not display AdSense ads and a competitor’s ads (like
Overture’s) on the same page at the same time.

That just makes plain good sense. Google doesn’t demand 100%
SITE loyalty from you, but they do insist that their own ads
not be cluttered up by offerings from their competitors.

5. Don’t “beg for clicks” or provide any incentive for clicking
on your Google AdSense ads.

This is a biggie and you see this rule violated all the time.
Any of the “get paid to do stuff” sites that put Google ads in
the member’s control panels are walking the plank and they
don’t even realize it. Even those sites with the polite little
messages asking you to “help keep my site running by clicking
on our sponsor’s ads” are asking to be cut off if those happen
to be Google ads.

6. Never click on the ads running on your own site, even if you
are genuinely interested in the product or service and are
thinking of buying it!

Nothing screams FRAUD louder than a webmaster running up his or
her own click counts by happily clicking on ads fromtheir own
site. The Google Gods can track this activity and it won’t be
long until you find yourself getting a goodbye note from their
fraud team.

7. No misleading labeling

Google is very specific about what text can be placed around
their ads. Their Terms of Service state: “Publishers may not
label the ads with text other than ‘sponsored links’ or
‘advertisements.’ This includes any text directly above our ads
that could be confused with, or attempt to be associated with
Google ads.”
This is to keep visitors from becoming confused and barking up
Google’s tree when they clicked on an ad that led to a porn
site instead of the recipe site they were expecting to visit.

8. Avoid keyword spamming and other divisive tricks

You may be tempted to buy one of those “generates thousands of
key-word rich pages in seconds” programs that are so popular
these days but I’ll tell you this: Their days are numbered.
Google is wise to such shenanigans and they will be hot on your
trail. Other prohibited gimmicks include:
• ”Sneaky” page redirects that send a visitor off to a
different site then they were expecting to visit.
• Multiple sites, domains, pages, etc. which have substantially
duplicate content.
• Hidden text or links of any type.
• Excessive outbound links on any page. Google recommends no
more than 100. I’d keep it way below that.
• And here is a nugget of wisdom straight from Google’s mouth:
“Do not participate in link schemes designed to increase your
site’s ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web
spammers or “bad neighborhoods” on the web as your website may
be affected adversely by those links.

9. Don’t advertise anything on Google’s prohibited items list.

It’s a lot shorter lists than PayPal’s or eBay’s, but it
includes a lot of the same stuff like hacking/cracking content,
porn, illegal drugs, gambling sites, beer or hard alcohol (I
guess wine is OK), weapons, and the other usual stuff.

10. And the 10th dumbest thing NOT to do with Google AdSense is
to let the other nine things stop you from running an honest
site that’s designed to make the most out of this very
profitable opportunity that Google offers!
