The seven “deadly” secrets of Google AdSense

Anybody heard the the story of the panda who wants to learn the much-coveted 7 deadly AdSense secrets? It went like this…

A panda was in constant awe of the 5 masters of Google AdSense who displayed their mastery of the art by showing off monthly Google checks. He went of to the mysterious mountain to train with the masters and learn their secrets, hoping to make a killing online with a simple twist of the fingers.

Much to his surprise, he got slapped around, told to train real hard, and got slapped around some more. He was baffled too, since each of the masters has a different style and told stories of learning the AdSense art since they were mere tots. Nobody told him it was hard work. All the stories he heard, especially from hawkers of little scrolls purportedly containing the “secrets,” said it is easy and quick to master Google AdSense and, subsequently, the ultimate art of making money online.

Dejected, the panda went home to become a burger-flipper as his father wanted him to be, “might as well master the secret-ingredient-burger,” he thought. Seeing how sad his son is, his father decided to share his secret ingredient to cheer him up, “Sonny boy, there is no secret ingredient with the patty thingy… if we believe our burger to be the most savory there was, there is, and there ever will be, then it will be the absolutely best anybody will ever taste.”

Enlightened, the panda sat up and thought about his training on the mysterious mountain. It dawned on him that he already possessed the 7 deadly secrets, he only have to believe in himself and his capabilities. Being the cute and cuddly animal that he is, the panda wanted to share his secrets with us.

Secret # 1

The Google search engine and AdSense are like Yin and Yang, bound together by Search Engine Optimization (SEO). We must use ninja SEO techniques (if there is such a thing) to attract visitors from all-knowing Google. Several wise masters of the northern Make-Money-Online-with-AdSense school have affirmed this. However, be forewarned, do not use the way of the iron monkey (stealthy ninja SEO technique) as nothing escapes the attention of the all-seeing Google who will pluck the liver of all those who dare try.

Secret # 2

The best performing AdSense type is the large rectangle, followed by the leaderboard. Both of them are… large and uses the principle that a fighting fan is better in attracting attention than a needle. We position the ad blocks to catch the people’s darting eyes. Honorable AdSense itself has divulged the 5 secret blocking positions in this time-honored scroll…err, heat map.

Secret # 3

The best color for links is–surprise!–BLUE, as in AdSense blue. Using a mysterious mystic art from the East, AdSense has somehow made that kind of blue communicate with a person’s subconscious and whisper, “click me.” Amazing! We don’t need to bother with the default colors if we have a white background, except make sure the ad block does not have a border to impede the flow of a person’s sight. Employing deceptive monkey kung fu techniques to make those links appear like part of our content or menu can only get us in trouble with AdSense’s secret society of click fraud assassins.

Secret # 4

Not all ads were created equal. Some pay better than others per click. Using the lesser known style of the famous ninja SEO technique known as Keywords-AdWords matching, it is possible to channel high paying advertisement to our ad blocks. The technique calls for seeking out keywords that advertisers pay a lot of money for, possibly with the help of AdWord’s keyword research tool, and using those keywords within our content.

Secret # 5

We need to sit in a lotus position, meditate, and try to sense what is happening with our AdSense blocks. Okay, let’s just head over to our AdSense dashboard and put each block under a channel. Channels will allow us to track how ad blocks are doing and optimize their layout, placement, color and related content. AdSense tracking is the name of the game. We can only see into the future, and catch those illusive clicks, by studying the past.

Secret # 6

Only the great dragon warrior can fell an opponent with one blow (and remember, the dragon is a mythical beast). Those of humbler origins and capabilities will need many strikes. In the same manner, we need to keep churning out page after page, site after site, in order to take down a Google check worthy of the 5 masters. More content means more pages indexed by Google and greater chances of displaying our ads to a lot of people.

Secret # 7

Finally, the ultimate secret. There is no secret move or technique to become a master of Google AdSense. We need to train hard, work at it, get slapped around, and develop our own fighting system. For every bump and bruise we get, we learn and earn another step that will take us closer to our black belt and beyond. The masters are so called because they have diligently studied their arts for years and evolved their own techniques.

AdSense PIN Not Received? Don't Worry

What is PIN?
This is a part of AdSense payment system.In order to check the address of publisher, Google sends a PIN(Personal Identification Number) number via mail at that address.PIN is sent only if you have crossed $10 mark.It is a card with which a number (PIN) is enclosed.This PIN is to be entered in the AdSense account.PIN not received?
Generally, PIN reaches your address within 2-3 weeks if you are a US citizen. But PIN mail takes a lot of time to arrive at your address if you are a NON-US publisher. It may take 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks and even 6 weeks (I got my PIN mail 53 days after request), depending upon the postal service in your area.

Here is a simple trick which increases the chances of receiving the PIN on time.

***Check and change your address

If you have not received 1st PIN, follow these steps:

1. Find out the post office where your mails arrive (the one nearest to your address)
2. Let's say the name of post office is "xyz post office".
3. Add "xyz" to your original address like this:
...........address............, xyz.

Here are a few more choices available for you:

* If you have not received your PIN on time, you can request a new PIN (AdSense account-->payment details-->enter PIN).

* You can request for new PIN 2 times.

* All PINs are same (in case if you receive 1st PIN after requesting 2nd, it does not matter because it contains same number).

And last but not least, don't worry if you have not received the PIN mail because Google cares!

AdBrite, AdSense Or Bidvertiser - Which is Better?

Lets take a look on each of the ads provider one-by-one.

ADBRITE
AdBrite offers a way for publishers to convert their site's traffic into advertising offers. By posting "Your Ad Here" spaces on their sites, publishers can link site visitors to the advertising opportunities that they are currently offering and therefore generate more interest in the site's ad spaces than would have been possible through only AdBrite's marketplace.AdBrite also allows publishers to set their own ad rates and to approve and reject ad offers, giving them more power over what goes on their site and for what price than many other networks allow. With 450 million impressions per day on 75,578 sites and numerous advertising and customization options, AdBrite is a large network that offers flexible and innovative ways for publishers to monetize their ad spaces.

Features

4. Text ads
5. Banners
6. Inline ads
7. Full Page
8. InVideo
9. BritePic ie ads in photographs too
10. Support non english sites
11. Referral Program

Payment
AdBrite gives its publishers 70% of the revenues generated from their ad spaces and keeps 30%. Payments are made to publishers by checks in U.S. dollars, and the minimum payment amount is $5, although users must change the default $100 minimum in order to receive checks this small. Earnings under the minimum amount roll over into the next month. AdBrite pays at the end of each month for a publisher's earnings in the month two months prior; for example, revenues made in July will be paid out at the end of September.

Summary
AdBrite offers its users unique ways of advertising and is both easy to use and reliable. It is compatible with other services and can be customized to match a publisher's site theme. The InVideo and BritePic features are particularly attractive, especially for publishers with a lot of multimedia content. Overall, this network is a good alternative for publishers who wish to monetize their sites, especially if they feel that they could easily sell ad spaces to their visitors through on-site ads.

GOOGLE ADSENSE
One of the most well-known and popular advertising networks on the internet, Google's AdSense offers its users a way to monetize their sites through both ad links and the Google search feature. Its main draw is that the advertisements it offers are targeted to fit the content of the page on which they appear and the search terms that are entered into the search field.

This means that the advertisements it displays are more relevant to the content of the site on which they are posted, and therefore more likely to be clicked by visitors to that site. This is a major innovation in advertising and still fairly uncommon among ad networks, and has proven much more effective at earning money for site owners than untargeted advertisements.

In addition, AdSense provides a variety of ways to customize both the ads' appearance and the way in which their value is reported, making it a very comprehensive and straightforward provider of relevant advertisements.

Features
1. Text ads
2. Search Box monetization
3. Automatically customize ads to suite your site
4. Banner

Payment
Receiving payments from this network is fairly simple. AdSense offers both EFT and mailed checks in the user's specified local currency. When a site owner's ad revenue reaches $100 or greater, a payment will be issued to that owner within 30 days of the end of that month. If revenues do not reach $100, the account balance is rolled over to the next month and does not expire.

While Google has not revealed the exact figure or share that the publisher gets, but according to The New York Times, however, calculated from Google's published financial reports that AdSense partners receive 78.5% of the profits that Google makes off of their ad space.

Well its a good news for the publishers there.

Summary
AdSense is a very user friendly ad network that is simple to set up and run for even new site owners. Its targeted advertising makes it more likely that the posted advertisements will appeal to site viewers, and the Google search feature allows site owners to keep viewers on their site longer and also lets them receive revenue for clicked searches.

Reports are customizable so that Adsense users can view and maximize their profits, and receiving payments from AdSense is simple for most people with a major bank account.

Overall, AdSense seems to be a very simple and flexible advertising network.

BIDVERTISER
Bidvertiser burst onto the CPC ad network scene by trying to differentiate itself from the many other contextual networks available. Their innovative business model was, and still is today, to sell their publisher's ads to the highest advertising bidder on a price-per-click basis.

As such, advertisers bid against each other for a publisher's ad space, with the highest bidders always getting displayed on the publisher's website.

Features
1. Completely Customizable ads
2. Extremely low minimum payout of $10
3. 3rd-generation bidding-based system
4. Ads for RSS Feeds
5. Referral Program

Payment
Bidvertiser pays in monthly installments on Net-15 Payment terms, and offers one of the lowest minimum payouts in the industry at only $10. However the $10 minimum payout is for PayPal withdrawals only. In addition to PayPal, Bidvertiser can also pay by check, but the minimum payment for check is $50.

Summary
Bidvertiser excels in every area such as their great control panel and superb level of ad customization. Their greatest feature is arguably their payment options, offering payment via PayPal as well as an incredibly low minimum payment of $10.

Unfortunately, Bidvertiser's targeting is not as powerful as other contextual networks such as AdSense, resulting in poorer conversion rates. In addition, Bidvertiser's smaller network of advertisers leaves the competition not as strong as their Google counterpart.

However, despite their lower payouts, Bidvertiser is still a great company and useful for publishers seeking low minimum payments, custom ad sizes, or simply an alternative to AdSense.

Which is better Adbrite, Adsense or Bidvertiser ?
After reviewing all of the three ad providers you will yourself find that AdSense is not the world's end. Adbrite being the best option in all the categories payments, support and the number of advertisers available whereas AdSense excels in the number of advertisers available and the last one being Bidvertiser which is also a good option but not as good as Adbrite or AdSense.

How You can Do Cheating With Google Adsense?

1. Basic clicker cheat

This is a noob. This guy knows almost nothing about web technology or network architecture. He clicks on his ads every time he has chance. It can be a few clicks to hundreds of clicks daily. Most likely he doesn’t even read the AdSense Program Policies and Terms and Conditions.

2. Proxy clicker cheat

She knows a thing or two about cookies and IP address. Or she doesn’t know, but somehow guessed that if she use the things called anonymizer, Google will not be able to trace her, because her identity is hidden. She may use anonymizer / proxy websites or specialized anonymous software like tor (The Onion Router).

3. Multiple computer clicker cheat

He knows that somehow Google will detect if the clicks are originated from his own computer. So he will try to even out origin of the clicks. He will recruit his friends, family members, relatives, neighbors, his cats, and his dogs on single mission: to click on the ads. He will also click on the AdSense ads when he is using the library computers, or his office workstation.

4. Software clicker cheat

Graduate to the next step is buyers of clickbots / click-bots. These are specialized robot software to click on AdSense ads. It will browse around your websites, clicking on the ads every few minutes. The more advanced ones will cloak the IP address too, so the website seems to be very popular worldwide. To cover the track, this clickbots will browse around the advertisers sites too while continuing its “click quest”.

5. Paid-clickers cheat

If you don’t like automated things, there is always other option for you. Just pay $50 dollars a month to the professional AdSense clickers. These are groups of highly specialized Internet surfers with office in the dark rooms in street corners of India, Pakistan, and China, helping AdSense account owner to earn good amounts of money ? before the AdSense account is disabled, that is. They will browse around your websites, clicking on the ads every few minutes. Because they use human eyes, they know which ads worth more. And to be more convincing they can click a link or two, or sign up free offers / newsletters on the advertiser sites.

6. Click-rings cheat

Network is power. So says many business gurus. Instead of taking things to their own hand, this people realize that they can join hands with those with similar goals and distribute AdSense clicks among themselves, the so called AdSense click-rings. Joining this click-ring network means that your website address will be made known to members, who will regularly browse the website and click on your AdSense ads. In exchange, you will also browse other members’ sites and click on their AdSense ads. The medium used varies. Some click-ring groups use mail-list for communications. Some are using bulletin boards/forum, Yahoo groups, or Usenet. IRC is another popular way. Slightly more complicated is specialized AdSense exchange software for collecting members website address and displaying others’ websites for clicking.

7. Other medium cheat

I have tens of thousands email address on my newsletter subscriber list. If I include AdSense ads on my newsletters, with 5% CTR, I can get a thousand clicks per one email. Not bad. Or I can pay someone to write some useful/nice/funny/cute toolbars or firefox extensions or screensavers that people can download and use for free, and display my AdSense ads there.

8. Visitor cheat

Simply putting “Visit out sponsors” or “Check out the ads above” on your website is cheating. This might not be very clear-cut cheat to some. But Google AdSense program policies has stated clearly, the only text allowed are “Advertisements” or “Sponsored List”

9.Spam cheat

This is the highest level all click-frauds, the Maestro of Fraudsters. She spams millions of emails regularly, offering to “satisfy your inner needs if you can help me check on the links on my website”. Of course, email is not the only way. What IRC and instant messaging (IM) are for, after all. She will look for unsuspecting victims, offering something too-good-to-be-true “if only they will visit the website and click on the links”.

10. Click-through-rate cheat

Whichever method(s) above used, there is one limiting condition: the CTR(click-though-rate). Any CTR that exceeds certain percentage (probably around 10%) will raise red flag in Google AdSense back room. To lower the CTR, the professional cheaters will create some pages on the same domain that attracts very high traffic. Some interesting freebies will sure do the tricks. AdSense code is pasted there, thus creating a very high page impressions. Whether or not the the ads are clicked does not matter anyway, because they are targeting low paying keyword that does not have much competition. The fake clicks are, of course, on where the big money is, the low traffic pages stuffed with high-paying keywords.
