How to Increase Google Adsense Revenue

Tips to Maximize Google Adsense Revenue:

Your Adsense income is primarily dependent on following factors.

1. Traffic.
2. Cost Per Click(CPC)
3. Click Thorough Rate(CTR).

Here we will be discussing ways to improve all the above mentioned factors so that your Adsense Income will also boost up.

Best Performing Ad Units:

When coming to Ad units size bigger is better.Larger ad units perform well compared to small ad units.

Some of the best performing ad units are 300*250,336*280,300*600,160*600.

Recently 300*600 (Half Page Ad)  was available only for Premium Adsense Publishers but now Google Adsense went ahead and made this available for all to maximise revenue.

• But that was not the case 300*600 Half Page Ad didn't perform well as expected.

Best Ads Placement:

Proper Ads placement is the key factor for generating high CTR.The best Ads placement from my experience are.

Top of Posts below Title:

• This is the most preferred place to get maximum number of clicks.
• Ad units like 300*250,336*280,468*60 and 728*90 would work like charm in this position.

Just after ending the Post:

• From my experience this is the best place to get high CTR.
• Place a ad unit just below the post left inclined.
• Here is strongly suggest you to use 336*280 Ad Unit.

In Between the Posts:

• If you are writing a lengthy posts then place text link ads or banner ads in between the posts.
• Though placing ads manually may trouble you but can generate good CTR.

Use Maximum Number of Ad Units:

To earn more revenue from Adsense you must be using maximum number of ad units per page.Google Adsense allows only 3 Banner Ads and 3 Text Link Ads per page which is very much sufficient.

Note:Premium Adsense publishers can use upto 6 Banner Ads per page.Another way to show more than 3 ads per page is via Google Double Click.

Few Important Aspects to consider:

• I read at many places saying that reducing the number of Ad Units can increase the CPC.But it didn't prove right from my experience. Adsense CPC is completely dependent on the source of traffic and the country location.So to generate maximum income take advantage of maximum number of Ad Units.
• Do not place too many ads which will effect loading time and may annoy the visitors.

Include High CPC Keywords in your Articles:

Google displays ads relevant to the keywords in the article.If you include few keywords like Buy Laptops,Buy Antivirus then generally high cpc ads will be displayed.

• I recommend you to check Google Adwords Keywords tool to find out the cpc of each keyword.

Target US/Canada Traffic:

US,UK,Canada visitors CPC is very high.So if you can write articles targeting these nations then you can earn handsome amount from not only Google Adsense but also many other Advertising Networks.

Do not Place Ads Side By Side:

Avoid placing ads side by side especially on top and bottom of the posts.

Use Text Link Ads Below Menubar:

Text Link ads below menu bar perform well as they resemble categories of a blog.

Top Best Google Adsense Alternatives:

Yahoo Bing Ads(Media.NET)-Highly Recommended:

Media.NET partnered with Yahoo and Bing and came up to form a new advertising network.This is the best alternative to Google Adsense from my point of view.I have been using this network since few days and the income is awesome. Infact my income generated from Yahoo Bing Ads is more than Google Adsense which is surprising.

• You wont get banned suddenly for invalid click activity or click bombing.
• All the options available for premium publishers of Google Adsense are available for all Publishers as Media.NET treats everyone as their premium publisher.
• Infact its better than Google Adsense if you have a micro-niche site because their ads can be targeted to specific keywords which will show very relevant ads to maximize the income potential of your blog or website.

BuySellAds:

This ad network has grown tremendously in the past some time and that's why shines at the top in this list of Google Adsense alternatives. The concept of this rapidly growing ad network is totally different from Adsense. It can be called as marketplace to sell/buy ad spaces. As a blogger, you are required to apply for BuySellAds account. Once you get approved, you list the ad spaces of your blog at decent rate. Advertisers purchase the ad spaces and you get paid. The best thing is that your earning get fixed in this and there is not any heart attack of getting banned by them. Moreover, you set the ad space price, from your own.

• Minimum payout is $50.

This is a new network to monetize your website with exit traffic.When a visitor leaves your website it will show a pop-up with and ad.When visitor click on the ad you will get paid.This is a new innovative advertising method.Works well if your site has good traffic.

Adversal is also one of the best google adsense alternative.Basically its a pop up based ad network.You will get paid for every visitor.So it has a great potential to make money if your site has good traffic.

Chitika:

Chitika is well-renowned ad network that competes with Google Adsense. Like Adsense, it also pays when someone clicks on the ads getting display on your blog. The cost per click may not be so good for traffic coming from the parts other than U.S. and U.K. But if you have traffic from these locations, then you can make hell lot money from Chitika. You can refer your friends and can earn the commission. Minimum payout is $10 via PayPal, while $50 via cheque.

Infolinks:

Infolinks is in-text advertising network. Means, when you use Infolinks on your blog, it converts the normal text into clickable ads. The best part about the Infolinks is that getting approved into their network is damn simple and you can start running the in-text ads on your blog, as soon as you apply for it. The cost per click is not that much as you get in Google Adsense, but as the mode of advertising is totally different, so there is always a higher CTR in Infolinks as compared to that of Adsense. Some bloggers even tag this ad network as the best alternative to Google Adsense. While the ad network is very popular, but some SEO experts claim that using the Infolinks may kill your visibility in the search engines as in Infolinks, your normal text, including your targeted keywords gets converted into clickable links. This may make a spam-type image of your blog in Google's eyes. The Minimum payout is $50 via PayPal, while $300 via Bank Wire Transfer.

Kontera:

Kontera is also in-text advertising network that converts the normal text into ads. When someone clicks on them, you get paid. Your blog must have good page impressions to get approved into the system. It does compete strongly with both of Google Adsense and Infolinks. You can withdraw the money, once it touches $50 mark.

Adbrite:

Adbrite has always been considered as one of the best Adsense alternatives. Once you get approved into system, Adbrite puts a banner on your blog, showing the sale of that particular ad slot. Getting approved into the network is very easy, but your success in Adbrite solely depends on your blog's popularity. If it s quite popular, then advertisers contact you to buy ad space. The price for the ad space is set up by you. When any advertiser shows his/her interest in displaying ads on your blog, it is completely up to you that you want to accept the ads or not. You can sell the ad space on weekly, monthly basis. The minimum payout is $100 via PayPal.

Clicksor:

They approve any blog, if it is totally new. Clicksor offers all type of advertising like In-Text, Contextual. The pop-up ads are also part of Clicksor.

Yahoo ,Bing in collaboration with Media.NET came with a new advertising solution for Publishers and Advertisers.Its a new Advertising platform to drive targeted traffic for Advertisers and earn money by publishing ads for Publishers.

Customer Support:

They have excellent customer support.Each publisher will be assigned a Sales Representative to guide you throughout the process.They will be guiding you regarding best Ads Placement,Ads Type to maximise revenue from their network.

Targeted Ads:

The Ads displayed by Media.NET are very relevant and will be shown relevant to the content.One more option they offer is targeted ads.If you have any specific posts on your blog with high traffic then you can list out those keywords as keywords hints to your sales representative .So that they will be targeting those keywords to maximize the CTR.

• Sales representative will be guiding you throughout the process and they will inform you if there are any violations or anything out of their quality guidelines.
• So no sudden ban to your account as in the case of Google Adsense where all your income and hardwork may get spoiled with that one mail stating "Adsense Account has been disabled".

Different and Attractive Ad Units:

One more best feature of Media.net is you have full control over customising your ad units with different colours to match with your blog design and colour.This is also an other great feature which is absent in Google Adsense.

• They also offer ad units of various sizes like 300*250,300*600,600*250 etc.

Earning Reports:

Basically Yahoo Bing Ads(Media.net) are CPM based ads and they pay you on the basis of thousand impressions.

• CPM may vary anywhere between $0.5-$2 which is pretty much decent and almost similar to Google Adsense.
• Below is the screen shot of my income generated from Media.NET.

Yahoo bing ads earning reports

Payout Methods:

They offer two payout options Wire Transfer and Paypal.Paypal is my favourite mode of payment as we need not wait for the old postman for check which is very annoying.

• The minimum payout threshold limit is $100 which is very much reasonable and you will reach the limit in no time if you have a pretty decent traffic.
• I have been using since 20 days and my earning already crossed $100 with only two Ad Units.

Approval Process:

Yahoo Bing Ads approval process a little different while compared with other advertising networks.They are accepting only limited Publishers with decent traffic from US/UK and Canada.

• Go to Yahoo Bing Ads Contextual Ads then click on request invite then fill the application and then submit for approval.

• It may take upto 2 weeks to review application to approve /disapprove .So be patient till you get an acceptance or rejection mail.
• You can submit upto 5 Blogs/Websites for review.So more the number of blogs you submit more will the chance of approval.
• I will soon write a separate article on how to get approved for Yahoo Bing Ads quickly.

Conclusion:

No doubt Yahoo Bing Ads powered by Media.Met is ultimate alternative to google adsense and its going to be a tough competition between two giant networks.For those who are hurt by the cruelty of Google Adsense can move ahead with Yahoo Bing Ads.

In earlier versions of Windows, user just need to click on the Start button and select the Shutdown option to shutdown the system. However that is not the case with Windows 8 as Windows 8 does not feature any Start button. In fact the Start button has been replaced by the Start screen. So, to Shutdown the system, one has to Go to the Power option under the Settings charm and then select the Shutdown option. Lengthy, isn't it?

So, today we are here with a tutorial following which you can add a Shutdown and Reboot tile to your Windows 8 Start Screen so that the whole process becomes simple and you get to shutdown or restart your system just with one click. So lets get started.

Check out the video tutorial on adding Shutdown and Reboot buttons to Windows 8 Start Screen:

Follow the steps to Add Shutdown and Restart Buttons:

(1) First of all launch Notepad. This can be done by pressing Win Key+R which will call up the run dialogue box and then type notepad and hit enter. Or you can even search for notepad from the start screen and then launch it.

(2) Then copy and paste the below given text to notepad.

set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strStartMenu = WshShell.SpecialFolders("StartMenu")
set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strStartMenu & "\Shutdown.lnk")
oShellLink.TargetPath = "%systemroot%\System32\shutdown.exe"
oShellLink.Arguments = "-s -t 0"
oShellLink.WindowStyle = 1
oShellLink.IconLocation = "%systemroot%\System32\shell32.dll,27"
oShellLink.Description = "Shutdown Computer (Power Off)"
oShellLink.WorkingDirectory = "%systemroot%\System32\"
oShellLink.Save
Set oShellLink = Nothing
set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strStartMenu & "\Log Off.lnk")
oShellLink.TargetPath = "%systemroot%\System32\shutdown.exe"
oShellLink.Arguments = "-l"
oShellLink.WindowStyle = 1

What is Facebook Graph Search ?

                                       What is Facebook Graph Search ?

Facebook Graph search can be described as the modified or advanced search on Facebook to explore things in detail. With this graph search you can search for many things which your friends like, places people explored etc.

Few Examples:

If you want to know about the list of your friends (or friends of friends) who likes to cry, you can just simply type “friends who like crying” and in real time Facebook will show you the list of people who likes crying. With this you can explore new people who are with same interest of yours.

You can even filter your search results to a particular place, by typing “People who like crying in Washington” you can get the whole list of them.  Sounds pretty interesting Isn’t it?

How to get Facebook Graph search to your Facebook profile:

Facebook launched this feature just for few limited people and this is now available to everyone.

• If you want to join this you can simple to Here - https://www.Facebook.com/about/graphsearch and scroll down to bottom of the page and select “JOIN WAITING LIST”

When I checked it, this feature is even disabled for me, which means enough number of people is already trying this. Keep checking that page to join the waiting list.

Facebook Layout with Facebook graph search:

This is how the Facebook layout of an account looks like when Graph search is enabled on a profile

Friends requests, Messages and notifications icons which are normally at the left top of our Facebook profile. But when Facebook graph search is enabled on your profile they get shifted to the right top just besides the profile button. At the place where we used to see the normal search box, we can see Facebook new Graph search coming into action.

Difference between Google search and Facebook Graph search:

Though we can get any sort of search results accurately using Google, we can’t get the search results that can be provided by Facebook..! Let me tell why. . If you search for people who likes playing cricket on Google it will show you some results, and if some other person did a search on Google for the same thing it shows the same results. No matter who you are Google will just show the same results for you every time. But in the case of Facebook each and everyone will get separate results depending upon the interests of their friends. This makes the things even better. You can even search for places which your friends visited, Places which your friends recently visited. etc.

• Facebook Privacy Settings and Shortcuts you must use.

Conclusion:

When Facebook introduced Timeline features to its users many people searched desperate to remove it from their profile as many didn’t felt comfortable with that new layout of profile. But later people get went with it without any regret and now everyone is addicted to it. But as soon as Facebook introduced this Graph search, people started responding in a quite positive manner towards it. I am pretty sure that this will make the Facebook even better.
