Its that time again for Do's and Don'ts Monday to help you get the best out of Adsense.
Don't
I've been searching the web and found a couple of tools which you can use to help out your website and as a result try to get a better position in Google and hopefully improve you Google Adsense improvements.
Page Rank Prediction
It does what it says on the tin. Predicts your page rank. A good tool if you ever need to to work out your page rank when Google next updates there PR database. You can check out the website here.
Website Grader
Probably one of the best tools on the internet at the moment. A general all round tool that checks all aspects of your site. Click the image below of the full version.
This website, checks your page rank, Alexa rank, Inbound links and indexed webpages. As well as offering general information about your website. A must.
Pingoat
A rather cool little website, that "pings" loads of websites that you blog has been updated. A good my to let other people no that your website has been updated.
Hopefully all these websites are usefully because they defiantly helped me.
You may or may not notice that under adverts there are links to advertise on your site. These are used, mainly by Google, to draw people in to the Adwords program. But used effectively can bring additional revenue as people want to spend advertising on your site.
Setting up a good page is easy. In your Google Adsense account, go My Account > Onsite Advertiser Sign Up
By clicking edit what you want is a page that blends nicely into you existing color scheme, or if you have many websites a general color scheme.
The option that Google gives you are plenty full. For example you can change all the link colors, background colors and the advertiser message.
For the message I recommend keeping the default message but changing a couple of keywords to make it more personal to you. For example the name of your website, your names etc.
Experiment and try to make the best out of a single page. Heres mine which I created.
Hopefully this tip has helped you create a better looking page that will help advertisers advertise on your site.
This post is a general round up of Common Mistakes that Violate Google's Terms And Coniditions.
1) Clicking on your own ad's.
- I've told you this many of times, don't click on your own Adverts.
2) Don't adversely change the Google Adsense code.
- This includes making it so the ads open in a new window, most of the time the code will stop working and violate the TOS.
3) Don't place more adverts than you are allowed.
- This violates the TOS again, most of the time Google will automatically remove the ads if there are too many.
4) Do not disclose your CTR or CPM
- These are confidential and should not be shared with other people.
5) Don't label ads other and Sponsored Links or Advertisements.
6) Don't launch ads in a new windows.
- Similar to #2, don't make them open in windows, it is against the TOS.
7) Having more than one account.
- You have 10 websites but you only need 1 account, never have more than one account. Google will find out. Every time you add your code to a website, the engine will pick up and automatically add your earning to your account.
8) Only place adds on content pages.
- Advertisers pay for ads on content pages. Don't put ads on none content pages, you will be out of the pages.
9) Don't mask ads.
- Never cover parts of the ad. Its against the rules and you will out of the program faster than you can say PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS (lung disease, 45 letters)
10) Don't put your ads anywhere other than on a website.
- E-mails, programs. You don't want impressions from these sources. Don't do it.
11) Avoid keyword stuffing.
- This means stuffing pages full of words just to get adverts. Doesn't work against the rules.
12) Don't put ads adjacent to images.
- Putting ads next to images can confuse users and result in invalid clicks.
Hopefully these tips will help you in avoiding breaking the TOS of Google Adsense.
As a first time user you may get excited about the prospect of using Adsense. But there is such as thing as being to involved. For example you may want to keep refreshing your Reports page. This may be fine at first but it could cause problems.
Every time you login into your Adsense account Google will place a cookie on the computer you are using. If you log into it from your home account this will be fine, but login into some one else's internet and visit your ads that IP will be blacklisted against your account. The problem with this if they click on your ads it will come up invalid as you have used and visited that internet connection.
The solution of this is to only login in to your Adsense account from one IP, this will minimize the chance of invalid clicks and closer on your account.
According to Google Adsense TOS you are not allowed to change any part of the code. After a bit of looking about there is a small part of code which you are allowed to change.
For example with my blogger layout it does not allow me to put in scripts into the page and leave in the <> tags, this is of course a problem. But you can change the <> tags for the XML equivalent which Google allows because you haven't changed to code, just the way it is formatted before being rendered in your browser.
What you need to do is change all the < with & l t ; and the > with & g t ; (With out the spaces) This will hopefully solve the problem.
There comes a time when you are on you website and you need to preview or audit and advert. Due to the terms and conditions of Google Adsense you are not allowed to click on your own adverts so what do you do?
A tool just released is Adsense Preview over at this website. A lot less hassle than Google's Adsense preview tool for Internet Explorer.
I recommend.
Its Monday again, can you believe it? And it is time for Adsense Do and Do Nots. This week its about colors of adverts.
Do
Did you know that you can use custom Colors with Adsense adverts. For quiet a while I thought that you could only use the colors out of the color picker. But if you click on the hex decimal number you can input any value which is a valid color. This of course is really useful as the colors that they provide are not that useful for some sites.
These different colors enable a whole variety of styles. Useful for people who have colors that are not in Google's color range.
Once in a while you may click on your adverts which are being served on your website. An according to Google's terms of service you are not allowed to click on your own adverts.
Now this is not so much of a problem as Google can sort out which adverts are being clicked on legitimately and being clicked on illegitimately. Now Google have announced that if you accidentally click on your own adverts you wont be penalized to badly. Although they wont credit your account with the cash. This is not a problem if it doesn't happen that often. But it can be if this happens frequently.
Every time you click on your own advert a little red flag will be added to your account. Gain to many red flags and they will close your account. All in all don't click on your own adverts.
This article is to serve as a reminder to make sure that your Google Adsense account wont get closed.
Its Monday again and its is time for the Do and Do Nots of Google Adsense. This weeks theme is Ad units. Shall we begin?
Do
Google Search can be used as a good money earner. The reason for this is that every search that a user performs there is a resource of millions of Adwords ads at there disposal to click. For example every search can bring up to 8 Ads (4 Top 4 Bottom) that will all earn you money. This is great for publishers.
Advantages of Google Search
