Adsense and Real Estate
Web Sites; Making Money
Online
By
Lanard Perry
If
you're looking for a
passive source of income
you ought to consider
Adsense. After all, I
can't think of a more
passive source of way of
generating income!
Below are 4 easy steps
to generating Adsense
income!
|
1. |
Choose one
topic per
page. It is
best to
write
content for
your page
with just a
few targeted
phrases. The
search
engine will
then serve
ads that are
most
relevant to
your
content,
which will
then result
in higher
clickthru.
|
|
2. |
Use white
space around
your ads.
This can
make your ad
stand out
from the
rest of your
page so that
visitors can
spot them
more easily.
Also,
experiment
with the
colors
provided by
Google, so
as to
harmonize
the color of
your ad with
the web page
color.
|
|
3. |
Test your ad
placement.
It is
recommended
to use the
vertical
format that
runs down
the side of
the web page
to get more
positive
results. You
can also try
both
horizontal
and vertical
formats for
a certain
period of
time to see
which one
will give
you better
results.
Google
provides a
more
comprehensive
explanation
of this on
their site
than I do
here.
|
|
4. |
Add more
content-based
pages to
your web
site. Widen
the theme of
your website
by creating
pages that
focus more
on your
keyword
phrases.
This will
optimize the
pages for
the search
engines,
result in
increased
traffic and
serve up
more
relevant
Adsense Ads
to be
displayed.

Direct Deposit Your
Earnings
Google adsense offers
various payment options
for publishers.
Electronic Funds
Transfer (ETF) is
offered in 16 countries
whereby your payments
are deposited directly
into your bank account
in your local currency.
Check Google Adsense
support to see which
countries participate in
this option.
You will need to sign up
for this option after
your application is
approved by signing into
your account. You then
click the edit link
adjacent to the payment
header. After you fill
out the bank
information, Google
Adsense will make a
small test deposit into
your account. This is
for security purposes to
assure the account is
really your own.
Watch your account for
the test deposit to
post, usually within
just a few days. After
you have received the
deposit from Google, log
back in to your account
and in the Payment
Details section, click
Verify Account.
You then will need to
enter the amount of the
test deposit. If you do
not complete this step,
your payments will be on
hold. Once you enter the
test deposit amount
correctly, your bank
will be approved and
selected as your form of
payment.
Preview Tool.
The Google Adsense
Preview Tool allows you
to preview the ads that
may show on any web
page, thereby letting
you make an educated
decision on whether to
add Google Adsense to
your existing pages.
You can also view sample
ad formats and colors
which will allow you to
see how the colors and
formats you want to
appear in your ads will
look before they
actually launch on your
pages.
You can also view
borders, backgrounds and
text colors from the
preview tool and by
clicking preview you can
see how these will look
with actual ads.
You can also see
geo-targeted location
ads meaning you can see
what ads users in Canada
can see even if you live
in Japan.
The Preview Tool is
available in all active
Adsense languages and is
easy to install. For
specific installation
instructions, you'll
need to go to the Google
Adsense Support site.
Follow the instructions
and click on the link
provided and you'll be a
previewing genius in no
time!
URL Channels and How to
Organize Them
URL Channels allow you
to view detailed
information about the
performance of your
Adsense for Content
pages.
Suppose you have a blog
at writingup.com and you
also have a blog at
bloggerparty.com. It
might be interesting and
profitable to track
which one is getting
more clicks.
Log in to your Adsense
account and click on
Adsense for Content.
Scroll down until you
see Channels and click
on manage channels. You
may need to scroll up
when the next page
loads. Under Manage URL
Channels you would type
writingup.com and click
on Create New Channel.
You will immediately see
writingup.com in the
Active URL Channels
dialogue box. Now type
in bloggerparty.com in
the same channel text
box and again click on
Create New Channel. You
now have two channels
and you will be able to
track your progress on
each channel.
You can view channel
reports from the
Advanced Report page
under the Reports tab.
Choose Adsense for
Content, choose the date
range and then select
the Channels Data radio
button. Choose any
number of active
channels by holding down
the CTRL key.
Next click on Display
Report. It's as easy as
that.
Summarily, AdSense makes
it possible for almost
anyone with a web site
or blog to earn some
revenue from
advertising, without
having to employ sales
people or spend precious
time searching for
advertisers.
