How Your Content Can Affect Your AdSense Earnings 2007-06-01 05:06:48 Did you know that how much you earn from your AdSense ads is directly linked to how much the advertiser pays if someone clicks on your ad? Here is a quote from the AdSense help center:
It’s not possible to say how much you’ll earn for a certain number of clicks or impressions, because your earnings will depend on the actual cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-thousand-impression (CPM) paid by advertisers for each ad that appears on your site. Some ads have higher CPCs or CPMs than others, so your earnings will vary depending on the specific ads displayed on your site and those your users choose to visit.
So how can we take advantage of that?
Well Google has made it easy, they have published a tool that makes it easy to get a good idea for what keywords will produce ads that pay well, I bring to you the Google AdWords Keyword Tool.
Lets take at a real world example, for my barbecue site I would enter keywords like barbecue, recipe, grill and grilling, and I change the data Read more:Content

Idiot’s guide to beer - Part 1 - Styles/Types 2007-06-01 03:41:43 Contrary to popular belief all beer is not created equally, beer can be broken down into two distinct types, categorized by where the yeast sits during fermentation.
Lager - This is the type of beer most Americans are used to it, it is brewed using a bottom fermenting yeast (lager yeast) at 45 - 55 °F. After the initial fermentation stage it is then lagered (stored) at 30-40°F. During the lagering stage the beer will clear and produce it’s mellow flavor, also the cooler temperatures will inhibit the production of byproducts giving it a crisper taste.
Ale - Ale is brewed using top fermenting yeast at higher temperatures than lager, typically 60–75°F, the higher temperatures allow the beer to develop more byproducts than lager, which results in a beer with almost a flowery or fruity taste. Ale’s are typically brewed using cultivated yeast, but they can be brewed by spontaneous fermentation, using wild yeast, and left open to the surrounding air.

Make Money From a Blog Using Adsense - Part 1 2007-07-30 13:47:34 Let me start off by saying that you shouldn’t expect to make significant money from a blog using Adsense
right away, this money making idea takes time. Having said that there are a lot of bloggers that are making a living from their Adsense earnings, so this is an idea that is definitely worth looking into. So how do you go about it?
Choose A Niche
If you don’t already have a blog you need to choose a niche to blog about, don’t think you can throw ads up on a personal blog and expect to make money. Adsense looks at the content of the page it is on and displays content related ads. If your content is all over the place the ads will be to, and you’ll be confusing your readership as well. To keep Adsense and your readers happy once you have found your niche, stick to it. If you have an urge to post an off topic post put it in a different blog instead, you’ll see later on readers are you friend, and note I said readers, and not traffic.
While you are choosing Read more:Money
An Introduction 2007-07-30 10:58:49 Recently I have been struggling with what niche I should chose to use for this blog, whilst also dabbling in various other ventures, all of which had one purpose, to make a little extra money to help support my family. Then it hit me, why not blog about what I have tried, what worked, and what didn’t, why not pass that information on to other people?
This, my friends, is the result, I plan to blog about not only ways I have found to make money, but also ways that saved me money as well. Anything that has helped me free up a little extra cash will be fair game. I will also blog about what I have tried that didn’t work, most of which are get rich quick schemes I came up with!
So why not subscribe to my feed, and let’s make some money together.
