Adsense Pros And Cons

July 22, 2009 by Tricia

Adsense Pros and Cons

People that have had a website for awhile and are getting some hits on it but not really making any money, may want to consider using AdSense advertising.

We will look at some of the pro’s and con’s to this type of approach to advertising on the internet. AdSense has definitely hit the Internet like something from another planet and people are very excited about it everywhere. However, there are some negative points to consider about using Adsense.


AdSense is generally a great tool for webmasters. Because you don’t have to be concerned about raising enough money to keep your site making a profit, or worry about keeping them online.

Webmasters using AdSense don’t have to focus on those type of worries, but instead they can concentrate on their page content and ways to make it great. The emphasis for them is on high quality articles that are associated with keywords or keyword phrases that will untimely help increase your website traffic.

You can also, work with Adsense to better customize your website color theme, size and article placement, and this will allow you to come up with the best format that you like, plus it will help to increase your profits.

People appreciate the way AdSense works to bring in a consistence source of income to your site. By keeping your website full of high quality, creative content and keeping it current; is a great way to begin a profitable business that will last. A lot of people are doing just that nowadays with AdSense, so it’s become sort of a business in itself.

It’s also a great program because you can have the same account advertising on all your pages. This is great for webmasters wit a lot of content because it means they don’t have to create many accounts unnecessarily.

But as stated, above, there are some negative aspects to advertising with AdSense and here’s a small list of such cons.

The main negative aspect that you should be most concerned about is if Google closes your Adsense account. Most of the time this happens because of so called “click fraud”, which means somebody would be producing artificial clicks on your page.

There’s one really nasty side to this and that is, it doesn’t have to be you making those artificial clicks.

It could very well be your competition doing this in order to shut you down, or the competitor of whoever is advertising on your page, looking to drive their marketing costs up.

The earning AdSense brings you are by no means constant. For many it is very sporadic at times. Anything you do to your site could end up being a big mistake and may cost you a great deal of money. It’s that kind of pressure that has a negative impact on you.

First of all, you constantly need to make sure your site is in the spotlight of search engines when people are searching for whatever it is your site is about.

You need to accomplish this so you will get more visitors, which means you will have a better chance of creating revenue.

Finally, another major problem is that you constantly have to feed your site with better and better content. Depending on what your website topic is about, keeping it current can be relatively easy to accomplish or it can be very difficult to do. This is often why the services of a copywriter are employed to generate more and more content.

Webmasters that write their own original material, should study the topic thoroughly, so that when they begin to write the article, they will be able to relay the information in their own words and share their personal opinions and insights.

These are the pros and cons of using the AdSense network for generating profits through advertising. Now the choice of whether or not these will work for you is yours.

Three Ways To Develop Your Own Internet Marketing Course

July 22, 2009 by Tricia

Your own Online Marketing Course will give you the financial edge that other online marketers are talking about or experiencing. Without your own product to sell it becomes very difficult to make a steady income online. This article will offer three helpful methods to create your own Internet marketing course, should you decide this is for you.

Product Creation Method #1 – Obtaining Private Label Rights
One of hottest trends in online marketing these days are Private Label Rights, more commonly referred to as PLR. In short, PLR means taking an existing product or item for which you have purchased the PLR rights, make it your own product and sell it. PLR rights basically mean “The Rights to Label it as your Own”. One issue, however, is that they are open to the public, therefore making many absolutely worthless. However if you can secure the private label rights to a product that isn’t widely known then this could be a cash cow for you. Just hire someone to rebrand it for you, repackage it and promote it for instant cash.

Product Creation Method #2 – Develop Some Videos
In case you aren’t aware of the trend, online videos are becoming more popular and more widely-used. This same trend applies to online Internet marketing courses. Videos make things a lot easier for your customers as learning from both visual and audio instructions is much more effective than reading a large blob of text. A different but terrific way to utilize video is by making instructional videos around a product for which you are an affiliate. After making your instruction videos, offer them as a free reward for people who make purchases through your affiliate link (for which you get a commission).

A video report will sell a lot more than a written report, so whichever video-method you choose, you will be safe with video.

Product Creation Method #3 – Do Interviews and Record the Audio
I personally prefer this method because even if you’re new at whatever you do, you can still get instant credibility. Furthermore, this method is not used by as much people as PLR for example so you’ll be able to stand out more. For free publicity there are a lot of marketers who will give you an half-hour or even an hour of their time. Request an interview from them and tell them that you’ll be adding it into a future project that you’ll be heavily advertising. An offer to promote a product or service of theirs in your interview or course will usually guarantee their cooperation. After recording the audio interview, rinse and repeat with other marketers, add some “packaging” and your course is ready to go.

While there are other methods of product creation such as writing an e-book, creating graphics, or creating a template of some sort, these are just a few of the common ways that anyone can use to begin to profit over the Internet. You can read more about these on Online Marketing for Beginners. After you have created your own Internet marketing course make sure to find affiliates who will promote it for you. After that, simply cash in those checks and make sure you share some of the proceeds with me 😉

Why Your Blog is Not Making Money

May 28, 2009 by Tricia

When it comes to professional blogging, it’s hard to make sweeping generalizations, especially when it’s about the average earnings of a blogger.  Some people make money blogging fairly easily, ringing up a thousand dollars in revenue in their third month alone.  Some bloggers, however, don’t have as much luck, even if they felt that they did their best with their sites.

If you’ve hit a dead end as far as your blog’s earnings are concerned, there’s bound to be a combination of factors behind that.  Below is a list of some fairly common reasons why a blog isn’t earning as much money as it should:

1.  You’re asking for money too soon in the game:

Blogs take a long time before they can get recognition and be established as a credible source of information for a particular niche.  Because of this, it’s probably going to take a while before you see any rewards from your efforts.  Competition is stiff in the blogosphere, and much of the first months (or the first year!) of your blog will be spent in establishing why you’re different from the rest.  Until you’ve actually made a name for yourself (and your blog), revenue will be hard to come by.

For some people, it takes only three months before the cash starts rolling in.  For others, however, it can take longer than a year before any rewards seem apparent.  Be patient, work hard at your blog, and your efforts will pay off sooner or later – exactly when that will happen is still a mystery.

2.  Ads have taken over your blog:

You put up your blog in the hopes of getting some extra cash, and one of the first things you do is plaster your blog with Google Adsense in the hopes that your blog will be a revenue market.  Smart idea?  Absolutely not.  When you’re first starting out, the last thing you want to do is drive away readers, which is exactly what you’ll end up doing if you cover your blog with ads at the get go.   Keep advertising to the barest minimum if your blog is still new, and work on building your reputation through the quality of your blog posts.

3.  You’re not updating as often as you should:

Some bloggers work under the assumption that 3 or 4 blog posts in a week is a good posting rate if they want to monetize their blogs.  Unfortunately, bloggers have to work much harder than that, especially if they’re just starting out.  By delivering fresh content at a regular pace, you’re giving off the message that you can be relied on to provide new and valuable information every time.  Regular updates also prod Google and other major search engines to index your blog frequently, which can positively affect your search engine rankings in the long-term.

4.  Money is your primary concern:
This is one of the most fundamental mistakes that bloggers commit:  blogging only for the sake of money and nothing else.  While it’s okay to want to make money blogging – who doesn’t? – what’s more important is for you to actually be passionate about what you’re writing and to be devoted to your blog and its progress.  Bloggers who are in it only for the money  tend to flood their sites with marketing gimmickry that don’t yield long term benefits.  More dedicated and substantial blogs, however, are the winners in the long run.

If any of these common traps are exactly the sort you’ve fallen into, it’s not too late!  Just make a few key adjustments and changes to your blogging strategy, cultivate some patience and tenacity with your blog, and the rewards will come to you in due time.
