Google AdSense and Blogs
Romeo
by: Diane Nassy
If you have a blog, or are thinking about starting a blog, then you
are definitely going to want to read this article. It's all about how
to line your pockets with money that's just waiting to be made without
working much harder than you already are.
No only are blogs the hottest thing on the 'net right now, but they
are custom-made for Google's AdSense program. Why? It's simple. Blogs
represent constantly changing and fresh content to Google's search
engine spiders. Feeding fresh content to those little spiders is just
like tossing raw meat to a tiger. They just gobble it up. The more
pages of your blog that get indexed, the more traffic you get. And the
more traffic you get, the more exposure your AdSense ads get. Are you
beginning to see where I'm heading here?
It's not just Google that loves new content, all of the major engines
do. In fact, some web-savvy bloggers are testing Google ads on one
page and Overture ads on the other. It doesn't take too long to see
which ads are doing the best when you have nearly side-by-side
comparison statistics to look at. Just don't make the mistake of
putting Google and Overture ads on the same page together. While they
won't kill each other like a pair of Siamese fighting fish in the same
bowel will, you will be violating both sites' Terms of Service, and it
isn't worth killing the goose (geese) that laid the golden egg.
It's a snap to set up Google AdSense ads on your blog. Everything you
need to know is right inside of the Google control panel. What's not
so easy is figuring out what ads are going to appear on each page.
Since Google targets your key words, and your blog articles could
possible wander towards any subject, you never know what you're going
to get.
Well, "never" is a strong word because there actually IS a way to pre-
test your blog's ads before you post your newest edition. Here's what
you do:
· Write your blog article like you normally would
· Plug in your AdSense code and then post your newest page to a sub
directory that's not part of your blog.
· Click refresh a few times until Google wakes up and starts sending
ads.
· If you don't like what you see then fine-tune the article until you
see the types of ads that you're looking for.
With some ads paying as much as $5 per click or more, I'd certainly
spend an extra 30 minutes or so tweaking my blog. That's for sure.
If you're working hard to get your blog in front of visiting eyeballs,
then it doesn't make any sense at NOT to be using Google AdSense to
draw every penny out of your site that's possible. OK, that's the end
of the article. Now get busy tweaking your blog and checking your ads.
You've got money waiting to be made!
