Thus they are highly engaging, which means instant dollars for our customers. Our widgets see $3-$6 CPM — pretty good compared to traditional ad networks that deliver less than $2 CPM
Features + Benefits

* Self-service, scalable and relevant content that's free and easy to publish
* Dynamic, contextual widgets act as content (vs. ads) that more effectively targets your users, not the masses

* Dynamic Ad Yield Management matches the best merchant for each product while offering consumers the best price
* MerchSense (patent pending) contextual algorithm automatically targets the right products for your site

* Proprietary analytics, pricing and relevancy engines display buying trends of 100 million shoppers

* Extensive reporting tools and daily updates; Payouts are monthly
* Complements existing programs, such as Google AdSense
* Over 300 configurations, 256 color schemes and formatted for major IAB standard sizes

* Manual configuration also available by category
* Product listings from 30,000 merchants including trusted leading brands

WidgetBucks Cracks comScore's Ad Network Report

Just six months after inception, WidgetBucks is getting recognized as one of the Internet's leading ad networks, according to the March 2008 comScore Media Metrix U.S. Ad Network report. See comScore's Ad Network press release, where they focus on niche ad networks, such as WidgetBucks, that are emerging to help advertisers target specific audiences. Also see our own release for more details.

Ranked No. 33, WidgetBucks is the first-ever ad widget network to enter this advertising-focused report. While they don't hand out 33rd Place ribbons, presence on this list is more significant than actual position, according to Jeff Hacket, vice president sales at comScore, Inc.:

“The addition of WidgetBucks in our March 2008 report underscores the growth of niche ad networks and the role widgets are beginning to play in online advertising."

Inclusion in the March 2008 report comes as WidgetBucks, which has gone from zero to three billion impressions in its first six months, expands beyond shopping widgets. Publishers will soon be able to earn money through interactive travel, pay-per-call and local ad widgets (currently in private beta), and later this quarter, real estate, auto and text link ad widgets.

CPC and CPM Rate Update from WidgetBucks

This post touches on a couple revenue updates, largely around recent shifts in CPC (cost-per-click) rates and the baseline CPM rate publishers are seeing for U.S. and Canadian traffic.

CPC
CPC rates have have dropped significantly since this past weekend (March 29-30). We are working through those issues with partners right now and anticipate these rates will rise again within the next seven days. Incidentally, this drop we are seeing is not unique to the WidgetBucks network when it comes to shopping CPC rates right now; nonetheless, we're working to get those CPC rates back to their week-ago levels.

CPMs within "Hybrids"
After launching our combination CPM/CPC "hybrid" ads nearly a month ago, we are seeing a baseline .$25 CPM across the board and anticipate this to hold steady or even rise over time. We are working with a number of large ad networks to provide top brands within the CPM rotation, and currently we're seeing ads that are contextual, and targeted by geography and category, and as a result, these are remaining competitive.

A number of our publishers have updated their code to take advantage of this extra and/or off-setting revenue. If you haven't done so, we encourage you to check out this post for instructions on how to update your site code.

WordPress

Its developers promised that WordPress 2.5, released last month, was more than just "a fresh coat of paint." Instead, they said, 2.5 was a "from the ground up" redesign. The goal was to create a new WordPress that would be powerful but easy to administer. After upgrading my WordPress installation and using the new format, I found that the WordPress development team has done a fabulous job of making WordPress even better than it was. It's not perfect, but it's darn close.

Esthetically speaking, 2.5 presents a sleeker, more beautiful administrative back end. Older versions sported an institutional beige, black, and blue color scheme; now, with just a bit of tweaking, the WordPress team presents a pleasing combination of rich brown and muted slate blue that is much easier on the eyes. But colors are not the most important detail in the grand scheme of things.

Long considered a waste of bandwidth by many users, the WordPress dashboard has been brought to life with some artful layout changes and the addition of some useful elements. Whereas before the dashboard seemed to be all about WordPress.org, now it is all about you and what you need to do with your blog. Above the fold you'll find direct links for creating posts and pages, information about how many widgets you are using and in which theme (with links to change both), recent comments with links, and incoming links with an actual summary of the verbiage surrounding the link. There's still a link to WordPress.org forums, but it is more appropriately placed in the upper right corner of the admin screen, next to the login/logout and "my profile" links.

The only problem I ran into on the dashboard was that I accidentally created a "page" instead of a "post" the first time I tried 2.5. That's probably because it used to take a good three clicks to get to the "page" editing screen, and now the link appears before the link for the "post" editing screen. But if confusion about link placement is the only complaint with WordPress 2.5, that's not much to complain about.

Below the fold are WordPress.org announcements and news, and links to new and popular plugins. Another nice touch on the dashboard is the addition of RSS links on each element. You can subscribe to comments, links, and announcements through a reader, or even aggregate those feeds and put them in a reading list to display right on your blog.

WordPress has streamlined the administrative menu, listing only four main tabs (Write, Manage, Design, and Comments) where there used to be nine. Three more tabs off to the right of the screen let you control Settings, Plugins, and Users. The Blogroll tab included in recent releases of WordPress has disappeared, but you can still manage your blogroll by clicking on Manage, then Links. Also under the Manage tab are options for posts, pages, categories, link categories, import, and export, as well as two new options: tags and media library. The tags option is a friendly nod to the move toward tags and away from categories, but I didn't find it particularly useful. Still, you can use this part of the interface to delete tags or to check how many posts are labeled with each tag. The media library is convenient if you use a lot of graphics, audio, or video on your site. I often upload photographs to illustrate my blog posts, so I appreciated this easy way to see all my files at a glance and which posts they appear on.

The Design tab is simply a rename of the former Presentation tab, and under it are options to select new themes, edit existing themes, and work with widgets. The Comments tab doesn't have any startling new features except maybe for the little clickable flag with a number on it that shows beside the word Comments when there are comments in moderation.

Not too much has changed on the "little" tabs over on the right side of the screen, except that there's now a handy button under Plugins for deactivating all plugins at once. The only bug I found was in this section. A new automatic upgrade feature for plugins was broken. Others have reported this problem, and apparently it is only an issue if you use the WPAU plugin. Once I deactivated WPAU, the automatic plugin upgrade worked perfectly.

Have I mentioned that I really like this new WordPress release? If you're a WordPress veteran, I think you'll love 2.5 too. If you're unfamiliar with WordPress, now is a great time to try it to start a new blog.

eBay

An introduction to the World's Online Marketplace™
You're familiar with the name. You've seen it in stories on the evening news. You've heard co-workers talking about it around the water cooler. Your niece says she even did her back-to-school shopping there. So what is this eBay phenomenon, anyway?

Simply put, eBay is:

* A place to buy. Get nearly anything you need or want at prices better than you can find in traditional brick-and-mortar or even online stores. Though there are lots of rotten deals on eBay, too, the careful consumer can always come out ahead.

* A place to sell. Whether you're a bix-box retailer or just an average Joe (or Jane) cleaning out your garage, nearly anything you list on eBay will sell if you're flexible enough about the price.

* eBay's global reach can even move unusual items that aren't in demand in your own neighborhood, turning paperweights into cash.

* A place to shop. Because of the immense variety of things that can be found for sale on eBay, many members have discovered that eBay is one of the best places in the world to window or comparison shop. Item listings often include photos, detailed descriptions, and owner experiences. Because you can see lots of the same item side-by-side in various conditions and know what each one sold or is selling for, eBay gives you insight into the real market value or "street value" of most types of goods around the world.

* A place to collect. eBay is the world's largest marketplace for rare, discontinued, collectible, or hard-to-find items, no matter what the type or price. Whether you're looking for turn-of-the-century box cameras, hand-made Victorian doilies, Soviet army service medals, or 1980s vintage arcade games, eBay will give you a better selection than just about anyone else anywhere.

* A website. There is no physical eBay store. Founded in San Jose but now operated from several cities, eBay's service exists entirely online, and all aspects of business other than the delivery of bought and sold items themselves are typically handled through the eBay website.

* Free for buyers and inexpensive for sellers. It costs nothing to become an eBay member, to shop for goods, or to purchase goods from eBay sellers. Sellers pay a minimal amount to list items for sale, and another small percentage of the value when an item is sold. There are no monthly fees or other hidden costs.

* Green. eBay is has proven to be a boon to the environment. Millions of tons of goods that would otherwise go into landfills or more resource-intensive recycling programs instead find new homes every year thanks to eBay. Some of these goods include consumer electronics items like computer parts and mobile phones that release toxic substances once they're discarded and exposed to the environment.

* Socially responsible. Because eBay eliminates middlemen and lowers barriers to buying and selling, potters in rural Mexico and bead weavers in central Asia can sell hand-made goods directly and inexpensively to a massive global audience. This brings new economic opportunities to developing areas and increases cultural understanding between populations. eBay has become one of the world's most interesting and exciting trans-national ambassadors.

* Like the real world in many ways. Just as you'll encounter both honest and dishonest people in the real world, you'll find both honest people and crooks on eBay. Thankfully, eBay's site includes a selection of tools like the feedback system that are designed to help you to remain safe as an eBay member.

In short, since eBay's founding in 1995 it has become the world's largest place to buy and sell, a community of hundreds of millions of regular people, small businesses, and even big businesses from all of the seven continents. Millions of items of every kind imaginable, in every condition imaginable, change hands every day on eBay for prices ranging from one cent to hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars (or pounds, or other forms of currency).

According to eBay's mission statement, "eBay's mission is to provide a global trading platform where practically anyone can trade practically anything."

Is the payment plan posted last month a permanent plan? No – as noted in a comment we made this is a plan we wanted to implement now to show Members that even though AGLOCO is currently losing money the hours they are putting in now would be compensated. Our website states that we will make no distributions until profitable. We could have considered a plan that the June, July, and August hours would be paid zero since no profits were forthcoming. We felt that would be an unfair plan to those Members who were supporting AGLOCO in its startup period. That is the purpose of this initial plan.

Can the payments be sped up? Of course they could – although the idea we were considering was making additional ‘bonus’ payments to the early hours (June, July, August, etc 2007 hours) when and if additional funds became available.

Should AGLOCO borrow money to pay Members? We believe this would be a critical error for AGLOCO. Giving out money that it was not earning was the downfall of AllAdvantage and we believe that spending only what AGLOCO makes is the best course for long term stability.

Why have tradable hours? A number of Members have asked about doing this and we looked into it. It seemed like a possible good solution for those Members who had joined now, but were not wanting to wait for AGLOCO to mature to reap some benefits. Getting ownership to Members will be a costly process which would done on a country by country basis. We had hoped to be over 10,000,000 AGLOCO Members at this point to help spread those costs. At a bit over one million Members, AGLOCO is not yet big enough to justify the costs (instead of Member distributions we would have lawyers’ bills.)

By having hours that have a potential residual income stream plus potential quarterly or annual bonus distributions coming in, we felt that these hours would have tradable value today which Members wanting to sell could realize. In this way Members wanting cash now could get it and Members wanting more of AGLOCO’s future could also get it. That is how the tradability of hours relates to the bonus payments and residual payments in this initial distribution plan.

Tradable hours versus ownership? It is not possible to have the AGLOCO hours (or accounts) tradable/salable and still have the potential plan for those hours being used directly in AGLOCO future ownership system (creates a potential securities law conflict). That is why we have asked for feedback on this issue as there have so many requests to make hours tradable. If hours did become salable now and we ended up not using hours in the future for ownership, we would need to develop a new method of giving the ownership of AGLOCO to Members as the Management Company is fully committed that AGLOCO Members get the economic benefits of AGLOCO (and the Management Company gets their 10%). We believe it is this division of economics that is the core of why AGLOCO is a good long term company for Members. – All of this does not mean that in a year or so that we could not use all of the hours to distribute ownership, it just severs any connection at this time.

Where did the $100,000 go in June, July and August? During those June, July and August AGLOCO’s biggest monthly costs were $15,000 to $20,000 in monthly server, bandwidth etc. costs – $15,000 to $25,000 a month for the tech team in Shanghai – and $2,000 a month for the Member Service team in the Philippines (Plus about $1,000 a month in other costs.)

One million Members? Yes AGLOCO has over one million verified Members – with over 350,000 downloads and with over 250,000 Viewbars having been used more than the five hours credit limit

Do Members have to buy things for AGLOCO to succeed? In every economic system trade must occur or it will fail. AGLOCO is no exception. Companies will not want to partner with (or advertise with) AGLOCO if it is not profitable for them. So they will measure the results of their partnering/advertising with AGLOCO and if it is not profitable they will stop. This is one of the great things about Google, Yahoo, Ask etc. Ads on their systems work. People click on some of the ads and then some of them go on to buy. This will also be true for AGLOCO. While no individual Member need be a specific buyer, as a group the AGLOCO Membership needs to be worth advertising to in order for AGLOCO to succeed.

Website? We know it needs work and we know it can take only minutes. Our chief problem here is that in June we used our website editing server to help stabilize the website and we have not had time to install a new editing server. This means all edits must be done by the tech team in Shanghai and we have not wanted to break them from the more revenue generating tasks mainly integrating Ask.com. A project which is still occupying them full time. We hope to rectify this soon.

Beta Viewbar? The Viewbar we are all using is an early version. We are using the beta term to signify that we have a great deal of work left to do on the Viewbar before we feel it is of production quality. It will probably be in beta for another 12 to 18 months at least. Essentially, all of AGLOCO is in Beta right now as we all learn the realities of what can be done and how to do it.

17 ad networks? Prior to the first download of the Viewbar we had an agreement with a third party to supply AGLOCO from 17 ad networks. While working with the tech team to implement this system it became apparent that the third party would not be able to deliver on their promise. We then came up with two networks to use and an ad server system that did not have targeting ability in order to launch the Viewbar. The Ask.com deal is a significant step forward on that front.

Ads for the Viewbars in India? While Ask.com covers searching in India, we have had trouble interesting an ad network for Viewbar ads for our Indian Members. A few weeks ago Tyroo and AGLOCO were unable to reach an agreement to supply ads in India. (While we are committed to working on a Win98 Viewbar, having a local Indian ad network would help move it up on the priority list for the tech team. If any Indian Member has good connections at an Indian ad network we could use a good introduction there. Use email partners@agloco.com to help make contact.)

Tech questions that go unanswered? Members sometimes post technical questions. Unless this is a widespread problem we usually do not respond to these in the blog. They are best sent to Member services at help@agloco.com. Most often we can not ‘fix’ an individual Member’s tech problem because unless it effects many Members and unless there are a couple of good data points to find out the source of the problem, it is currently too expensive for AGLOCO to try to have a tech person work on a single problem at this point. Some other tech problems which do effect multiple Members are on the correction list; like the ads in the Viewbar not rotating for all users, which is a combination browser and ad server problem. We worked hard to fix this at the server lever and did fix some of the problem (this is a third-party ad server – not ours) Since we knew we would be changing ad servers within a couple of months we decided to focus resources on the Ask.com needs instead of working more on an ‘old’/existing ad server – which we do not even own.

What can you do to help? While we do not have any results from Ask.com yet, we are hopeful that revenue from Ask will put AGLOCO on a stable footing, allowing both distributions and service expansion. We believe that AGLOCO’s active Membership is one of AGLOCO’s biggest strengths. At this point, we hope to start to take real advantage of this strength with some of the revenue from the Ask.com deal. If you are interested in getting more involved and helping to build the company we would like to know. (There were some comments in the blog about setting up a forum and having moderators for example). We are sure some AGLOCO Members could make contributions to the Viewbar, the website, revenue improvements and other operations. Use the partners@agloco.com address if you are interested. Please indicate any area of interest and any expertise you have – like software engineer.

People making nonsense comments on this blog? By most standards AGLOCO has a very open blog comment policy. When we see spam comments, repetitive comments, rude comments as well as spotting comments with offensive language, we try to delete them. We probably leave too many comments on the blog, but we have felt that even though some of the negative statements are untrue or gross exaggerations – sometimes some of the positive ones are as well. For the most part we see comments as people’s opinions and we try not to edit them.

Google Adsense ?

Hidden on the Internet, scattered among billions of Web pages, are the clues to an incredible secret. For those who know the secret, the result is untold wealth. Each month, a small group of people - an elite club who have uncovered the mysteries of The AdSense Code- put their knowledge to use and receive checks for tens of thousands of dollars from Google. And untold numbers of additional site owners are regularly generating supplemental income via AdSense while they play, sleep and eat. The AdSense Code is concise and very focused on the objective of revealing the proven online strategies to creating passive income with Google AdSense. The AdSense Code reveals hands-on solutions to many of the concerns and challenges faced by content publishers in their quest to attract targeted traffic, improve content relevance and increase responsiveness to AdSense ads - using easy and legitimate techniques that have worked for those who know the secrets. Google AdSense expert, Joel Comm, provides you with the keys you need to "crack" The AdSense Code and unlock the secrets to making money online.

Make Easy Money with Google

Get your Web site to "show you the money" by using Google to draw more eyes--and wallets--to your content. In this friendly, four-color guide from veteran author and Web developer Eric Giguere, you'll learn all about Google's AdSense program and how you can use it to make your Web site or blog more profitable. Written in an easy-to-read, non-technical style, this book follows three average people--Claude, Stef, and Anita--as they learn to create money-making blogs and Web sites. Through their experiences, you'll learn: basic Web terminology; the Google Adsense nuts and bolts; how to host, build, and publish targeted ads and Google search boxes to your Web site; filter out inappropriate ads; track page performance; drive traffic to your site; and more. A four-part companion Web site features a blog, includes reader resources, and details the techniques discussed in the book.

Online marketers agree that AdSense is one of the best tools you can use to draw dollars to your site. Let Giguere show you how to make the most of Google and have fun doing it!

Adbrite

AdBrite, Inc. is an online advertising firm based in San Francisco, California. It was founded by Philip J. Kaplan and Gidon Wise.

AdBrite serves ads on more than 45,000 websites, according to their published stats [1], and is the 10th largest ad network on the Internet, according to Media Metrix[2].
AdBrite was originally founded as Marketbanker.com in 2002, and relaunched as AdBrite in 2004. AdBrite is backed by Sequoia Capital and has raised $35 million in three rounds of funding from Sequoia[3], Mitsui and DAG Ventures

Pay Per Click

Pay per click (PPC) is an advertising model used on search engines, advertising networks, and content websites/blogs, where advertisers only pay when a user actually clicks on an ad to visit the advertiser's website. Advertisers bid on keywords they believe their target market would type in the search bar when they are looking for a product or service. When a user types a keyword query matching the advertiser's keyword list, or views a page with relevant content, the advertiser's ad may be shown. These ads are called a "Sponsored link" or "sponsored ads" and appear next to, and sometimes, above the natural or organic results on search engine results pages, or anywhere a webmaster/blogger chooses on a content page.

Pay per click ads may also appear on content network websites. In this case, ad networks such as Google AdSense and Yahoo! Publisher Network attempt to provide ads that are relevant to the content of the page where they appear, and no search function is involved.

While many companies exist in this space, Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing, and Microsoft adCenter are the largest network operators as of 2007. Depending on the search engine, minimum prices per click start at US$0.01 (up to US$0.50), these prices are often referred to as Costs Per Click (CPC). Very popular search terms can cost much more on popular engines. Arguably this advertising model may be open to abuse through click fraud, although Google and other search engines have implemented automated systems to guard against this.[citation needed]

How AdSense Works

* In order to put ads on a web page, the webmaster adds a piece of JavaScript to its source code.
* Each time a visitor visits a page with an AdSense tag, the JavaScript creates an iframe, whose "src" attribute includes the URL of the page.
* For contextual advertisements, Google's servers use a cache of the page for the URL or the keywords in the URL itself to determine a set of high-value keywords. (Some of the details are described in the AdSense patent). If keywords have been cached already, ads are served for those keywords based on the AdWords bidding system.
* For Site targeted ads, the advertiser can choose the page or sites it wants to display ads on and pays on a CPM basis (cost per thousand impressions).
* For referrals, Google manages the subscriptions on a long term, to add money when the visitors either download the product of subscribe, that depend upon the sort of product.
* For search, advertisements are added to the list of results and clicks on them make money.
* Since the JavaScript is sent to the browser when the page is requested, it is possible to others to copy the JavaScript on to their own webpages. To protect against this, adsense hosts can set what pages their code is allowed to put ads on. In that case, clicks from other than the specified webpages are ignored by Google.

Adsense Overview

Google uses its search technology to serve ads based on website content, the user's geographical location, and other factors. Those wanting to advertise with Google's targeted ad system may sign up through AdWords. AdSense has become a popular method of placing advertising on a website because the ads are less intrusive than most banners, and the content of the ads is often relevant to the website.

Currently, AdSense uses JavaScript code to incorporate the advertisements into a participating site. If it is included on a site which has not yet been crawled by the Mediabot, it will temporarily display advertisements for charitable causes known as public service announcements (PSAs). (The Mediabot is a separate crawler from the Googlebot that maintains Google's search index.)

Many sites use AdSense to monetize their content and some webmasters work hard to maximize their own AdSense income. They do this in three ways:

1. They use a wide range of traffic generating techniques including but not limited to online advertising.
2. They build valuable content on their sites which attracts AdSense ads which pay out the most when they get clicked.
3. They use copy on their websites that encourage clicks on ads. Note that Google prohibits people from using phrases like "Click on my AdSense ads" to increase click rates. Phrases accepted are "Sponsored Links" and "Advertisements".

The source of all AdSense income is the AdWords program which in turn has a complex pricing model based on a Vickrey second price auction, in that it commands an advertiser to submit a sealed bid (not observable by competitors)। Additionally, for any given click received, advertisers only pay one bid increment above the second-highest bid.

Adsense earnings

PPC can increase Adsense earnings for anyone to incredible levels. PPC, acronym for pay-per-click advertising is a fast and arguably instantaneous way to drive traffic to your websites. Webmasters or internet marketers who have used this traffic technique would attest to its effectiveness. Making money from Adsense is a game of numbers. Combine PPC with your Adsense sites and you have got a formidable Adsense income machine.

Unfortunately, many folks fail to grasp the proper usage of PPC. And this is no fault of theirs. After all, it is not all so easy to employ pay-per-click to increase Adsense earnings. But what we hope to do today is to learn some really quick and money-grabbing tips to boost your Adsense income. Ready to increase Adsense earnings now?

Increase Adsense Earnings Tip 1 - Top-notch Adsense Arbitrage

Adsense arbitrage is coined as a term to describe using a cheaper click to trade with a more expensive one. How do you do that? To make it simple, you launch an Adwords campaign for a website with Adsense ads. Assuming you pay for 5 cents a click and someone clicks on an ad and you get paid 50 cents. So you have earned 45 cents for that click. Cool?

Some people use Adwords only to perform Adsense arbitrage. But this is not the best method. There are cheaper but quality PPC traffic elsewhere from Miva, GoClick, 7Search, etc. Use them wisely to boost your Adsense earnings but please read Adsense's terms of service to avoid committing mistakes that can get you banned.

Increase Adsense Earnings Tip 2 - Attract Expensive Clicks

You may have wished that you can control the cost-per-click of the ads that are displayed on your website. Sad to say, you cannot do so. But the good news is you can influence the value of clicks. One good way is to go for expensive themes like credit card debt, credit fixing, etc.

But wouldn't you have a problem since the clicks you buy are going to cost much as well? See my next tip for a solution.

Increase Adsense Earnings Tip 3 - Use Long-tail Keywords

When targeting any niche or theme, the best keywords are not the obvious ones. This is because obvious keywords like 'make money' and 'home business' are bided to such skyrocket levels that it is almost impossible to profit at all. Instead, target long-tail keywords that attract low to moderate traffic. One thing to note is these traffic are often laser-targeted and likely to take action at your website.

Increase Adsense Earnings Tip 4 - Use Call-to-Action Words

Words like 'free', 'buy', 'tips', 'guide', 'tutorial', 'gift', 'how to' etc are call to action words. They are best used in your advertisement title and text, campaign keywords and in your website content. The rationale behind this unfolds like this:

Your visitor is looking to buy something, say a book on 'how to increase Adsense earnings' and your advertisement appears because of exact keyword matching. He/she sees your ad and it stands out due to the presence of the keyword in the title and text. Your visitor clicks your ad and find your content relevant to what he/she is searching for. Well, the Adsense ads dangling all over your website is matched with your content right? Guess what will they do? Click on the Adsense ads! Voila!

Manage Ads google adsense
Manage Ads gives you more ad functionality

As we mentioned last week, we're constantly working to improve the new ad management feature. There's another wave of minor tweaks to this feature, inspired by your feedback as always.

Hide and seek
We've heard from more than a few of you that you'd like to see a 'delete' function on the Manage Ads page. To avoid deleting any ad unit that's currently serving impressions on your pages, we've now added a 'hide' function so you can avoid displaying ad units you prefer not to see on your Manage Ads page. Just click the 'Hide' link associated with a specific ad unit in the Actions column, and the ad will no longer appear when you view your Manage Ads page. Don't worry, hiding any active ad unit won't prevent it from generating revenue for you, and you can view your hidden ad units at any time by checking the box that says 'Show hidden AdSense units'.

Channel IDs for all
In addition to AdSense for content, you can now view the custom channel ID numbers associated with other AdSense products (e.g. AdSense for search and referrals). Visit the Channels page under the AdSense Setup tab, and select the tab corresponding to the product you'd like to view.

Introducing the Ad Review Center

In an effort to provide you with more transparency and control over the ads appearing on your pages, we've developed the Ad Review Center. This new feature, which we'll be rolling out to publishers over the next few months, will allow you to review ads placement-targeted to your site and ensure those ads are relevant to your site's users.

When you first opt into the Ad Review Center, you'll be able to see all placement-targeted ads currently targeted to your site, and a couple of days later you'll be able to review placement-targeted ads that have previously run on your site. If you think an ad is not relevant for your users, you can prevent it from appearing again by blocking it in the Ad Review Center. We recommend you carefully consider the revenue impact of blocking an ad, since blocked ads won't compete in the auction on your site, and advertisers whose ads you block may choose not to target your site again in the future.

In addition to letting publishers weigh in on the relevance of placement-targeted ads, the Ad Review Center will also help advertisers improve their placement-targeted ad campaigns. When you block an ad, you'll be prompted to select a reason. We'll share this constructive feedback with advertisers so they can use it to improve the quality and relevance of future ad campaigns.

As we've done with past features, we're gradually launching the Ad Review Center to all publishers over the next few months. When it has been enabled for your account, you'll see a green notification box at the top of your 'Competitive Ad Filter' page, located under the 'AdSense Setup' tab. By default, the Ad Review Center will let you review all placement-targeted ads after they have run on your site. However, if you have a strong need to manually review ads before they appear on your site, you may do so by clicking on the 'update settings' link in the Ad Review Center. You'll then have 24 hours to review ads before they are automatically allowed to run on your site. Please note that you can also return to the Ad Review Center and allow a previously blocked ad, or block a previously allowed ad.

We strongly recommend you keep your review preference set to 'auto-allow' and review ads after they have run. Ads don't participate in the auction while they are awaiting review, and ads that you have blocked cannot compete in the auction either. The actual revenue impact will vary in each publisher's situation, but when using the Ad Review Center, please consider the revenue effects of blocking ads or switching from the auto-allow setting.

To learn more about the Ad Review Center, please visit the Help Center. We hope you find this new feature useful and look forward to hearing your feedback.

UPDATED with screenshot

Farewell Onsite Advertiser Sign-up

We have high standards for the services we offer, which means we constantly reevaluate existing features to ensure they are effective as the AdSense product continues to expand.

Our recent findings indicate that the Onsite Advertiser Sign-up feature, which allowed advertisers to sign up for AdWords campaigns on your site, hasn't been performing as well as we had hoped. We've elected to gracefully retire this feature and focus our efforts on developing and supporting features that drive better monetization results for you. Call it time management, call it ROI, call it our unwavering commitment to our publishers. We want you to earn more revenue, and sometimes that means "sunsetting" certain features we created.

Please be aware that any links you've created that lead to a customizable Onsite Advertiser Sign-up page will soon re-direct to the main AdWords sign-up page. Of course, AdWords advertisers will still be able to target your individual sites by using placement targeting. Thanks for your support of this feature in the past. We hope its departure won't cause you any inconvenience.

New Manage Ads improvements, compliments of you

We've been listening to your comments on our new ad management feature, and so we're excited to tell you about a few updates that stem directly from your requests:

You can now view the ID number associated with a specific custom channel by visiting the 'Channels' link under the 'AdSense Setup' tab. Many of you told us that you needed these channel ID numbers for ad management programs you're using. We've added this information to your account since it no longer appears in your ad code.

Any ad units generated within the last 7 days that haven't yet received any impressions will now be listed as 'New', rather than 'Active', in your status column. This should help avoid confusion about your newest ad units and those already appearing on your pages.

You can now view the most recent date when each of your ad units was updated. Please note that these dates aren't retroactive, so any ad units you generated or edited before this display change will show a last-edited date of November 1st, 2007.

We're starting to slowly roll out the manage ads feature for your referral units. Just as with AdSense for content units, you'll soon be prompted to enter names for your newly generated referral units. If you'd like to make changes to your referral units at a later time, you can visit the 'Manage Ads' page. In the 'Content' column of this page, your referral units will display 'Referrals:' followed by the products or category of products being referred.

It doesn't end here, though -- we've got a few more enhancements planned for the Manage Ads feature in the next few weeks, so keep checking back for more updates. In the meantime, please continue sending your suggestions our way.

A follow-up to our referrals announcement
You may have seen our recent post about the upcoming changes to referrals promoting AdSense. Since we made this announcement, we've received a number of responses about the program being dependent on the location of the referring publisher. We've carefully considered your feedback, and have decided to modify the original plan.

The changes to referrals promoting AdSense will now depend on where your users are located, regardless of your location as a publisher. You'll earn $100 for every user you refer to AdSense who is located in North America, Latin America or Japan when they generate $100 in AdSense revenue within 180 days and they remove all payment holds. You'll no longer be paid for users you refer who are located elsewhere. These changes will go into effect the last week of January.

The option to add a referral unit for AdSense will reappear in your account when you target any referral unit to Japan and/or any countries in North America and Latin America. To ensure payment for valid conversions, we recommend that you check the targeting settings on your current AdSense referral units.

We've also heard from a number of you that you're no longer seeing recent AdSense referral earnings in your account. Please be assured that this is a display error -- past conversions have not been removed from your account. Our engineers are working hard to resolve this issue quickly.

Finally, we'd like to let you know about upcoming changes to the referrals programs for Google Pack and Firefox:

Google Pack: Currently, you can earn up to $2 when a user downloads and runs Google Pack for the first time after being referred through your link or button. Starting the third week of February, each successful Pack referral will earn up to $1. This change will apply to all referrals for Google Pack and is independent of user location or publisher location.

Firefox: We'll also be reducing payments for Firefox referrals from China during the third week of February. This specific referral payment change will only affect installations from users in China. Again, this is independent of your location as a publisher.

We understand that these changes may decrease revenue for some of you currently participating in these referrals programs. While it's our goal to help publishers earn as much as possible with the AdSense program, like any other referrals advertiser, we’re constantly evaluating our campaigns to make them effective and sustainable.

Again, thank you for your feedback and support of the referrals program

Another look at optimizations
We've given you many optimization tips over the years, and, as you know, it's important to consider how your ad implementations affect not only your click-through rate, but your users' and advertisers' experience as well. To support this, we'd like to remind you of the following two guidelines when optimizing your site.

1. Ads shouldn't be placed under a title or section heading in a way that implies that the ads are not ads.
For example, ads shouldn't be placed under titles such as “Dallas Business Opportunities” or “Today's Hot Deals”. Placing ads directly below titles such as these implies to your users that the links in the ads are publisher-created content. The example below shows a placement that does not follow this guideline.

2. Ads should be easily distinguishable from surrounding content.
Similarly, you should not place an ad unit by a group of links that has identical colors and line spacing. Doing so may cause users to think the ad unit is content created by you. In this situation, we recommend using a different color for the ad titles or indenting the ad unit to help distinguish the ads from your own content. This screenshot shows an implementation that does not follow this guideline:

As you can imagine, users who click on ads that they think are publisher-created content may lose trust in your site and decide not to return in the future. It's important to keep their interests in mind, as well as your own.

Also, advertisers can tell which sites have a high conversion rate for them using Placement Performance reports. A conversion occurs when a click on an ad leads directly to user behavior that the advertiser deems valuable, such as a purchase, sign-up, page view, or lead. Advertisers have the option to exclude your site from their campaigns and may do so if it is not leading to conversions.

We believe these guidelines invest in the long-term health of the relationship between AdSense publishers, AdWords advertisers, and your sites' visitors, and that they will help ensure your continued success in the AdSense program.

Introducing AdSense for conversations
We're happy to announce the launch of AdSense for conversations, a new type of monetization solution that "puts the 'context' in contextual advertising". Now, in just a few simple steps, you can begin displaying ads that are relevant to the topics you're discussing -- in an unobtrusive screen above your head.

Anyone taking part in the conversation can hit the ad with their hand to immediately take advantage of the product or service being offered. With our new Teleportation Technology(TM), you'll be transported directly to the site where the service is available, or have the product appear instantaneously in your hands.

Based on our omega testing, we've noticed a few common questions among publishers that we'd like to answer.

How do I add Google ads to my conversations?
Once you sign up using the link at the bottom of this post, we'll send you an adjustable screen and special AdSense headgear to attach it to. Just follow our Screen Implementation Guide to assemble it and select your desired size, such as the very effective 300 x 250 mm. Don't forget to also visit the 'Manage Ads' section of your account to customize the look and feel of your ads -- try a color palette with 336699 to bring out the blue in your eyes!

Can I prevent ads from appearing in certain conversations?
Yes; we understand that there's a time and place for ads in conversations, as a chat with a friend isn't quite the same as an interview with a prospective employer or parole officer. That's why we let you choose which conversations to target using the 'Allowed Conversations' feature, located under your AdSense Setup tab.

Why are my ads not targeted to my conversation?
If you're not seeing targeted ads, it may be that you haven't discussed a particular topic long enough for our system to determine the meaning of your conversation. We recommend rambling and repeating yourself to help our system pick relevant ads to display. Also, you may wish to try our voice targeting feature -- you can speak more loudly to emphasize certain phrases. However, these activities may result in socially awkward situations, so please proceed with caution.

What reports can I view?
You can view reports about how funny your conversations were, how much your companion was actually listening, and, if you implement the 'review my spoken English' setting, how many times you said the word 'like' or 'uh' in a particular conversation.

Introducing AdSense for conversations

What if I'm stretching and I hit an ad accidentally?
We understand accidents may happen, and appreciate your concern. However, we recommend that publishers refrain from having conversations during yoga classes to prevent these types of accidental hits.

Google Adsense ?

Hidden on the Internet, scattered among billions of Web pages, are the clues to an incredible secret. For those who know the secret, the result is untold wealth. Each month, a small group of people - an elite club who have uncovered the mysteries of The AdSense Code- put their knowledge to use and receive checks for tens of thousands of dollars from Google. And untold numbers of additional site owners are regularly generating supplemental income via AdSense while they play, sleep and eat. The AdSense Code is concise and very focused on the objective of revealing the proven online strategies to creating passive income with Google AdSense. The AdSense Code reveals hands-on solutions to many of the concerns and challenges faced by content publishers in their quest to attract targeted traffic, improve content relevance and increase responsiveness to AdSense ads - using easy and legitimate techniques that have worked for those who know the secrets. Google AdSense expert, Joel Comm, provides you with the keys you need to "crack" The AdSense Code and unlock the secrets to making money online.

Make Easy Money with Google

Get your Web site to "show you the money" by using Google to draw more eyes--and wallets--to your content. In this friendly, four-color guide from veteran author and Web developer Eric Giguere, you'll learn all about Google's AdSense program and how you can use it to make your Web site or blog more profitable. Written in an easy-to-read, non-technical style, this book follows three average people--Claude, Stef, and Anita--as they learn to create money-making blogs and Web sites. Through their experiences, you'll learn: basic Web terminology; the Google Adsense nuts and bolts; how to host, build, and publish targeted ads and Google search boxes to your Web site; filter out inappropriate ads; track page performance; drive traffic to your site; and more. A four-part companion Web site features a blog, includes reader resources, and details the techniques discussed in the book.

Online marketers agree that AdSense is one of the best tools you can use to draw dollars to your site. Let Giguere show you how to make the most of Google and have fun doing it!

Adbrite

AdBrite, Inc. is an online advertising firm based in San Francisco, California. It was founded by Philip J. Kaplan and Gidon Wise.

AdBrite serves ads on more than 45,000 websites, according to their published stats [1], and is the 10th largest ad network on the Internet, according to Media Metrix[2].
AdBrite was originally founded as Marketbanker.com in 2002, and relaunched as AdBrite in 2004. AdBrite is backed by Sequoia Capital and has raised $35 million in three rounds of funding from Sequoia[3], Mitsui and DAG Ventures

Pay Per Click

Pay per click (PPC) is an advertising model used on search engines, advertising networks, and content websites/blogs, where advertisers only pay when a user actually clicks on an ad to visit the advertiser's website. Advertisers bid on keywords they believe their target market would type in the search bar when they are looking for a product or service. When a user types a keyword query matching the advertiser's keyword list, or views a page with relevant content, the advertiser's ad may be shown. These ads are called a "Sponsored link" or "sponsored ads" and appear next to, and sometimes, above the natural or organic results on search engine results pages, or anywhere a webmaster/blogger chooses on a content page.

Pay per click ads may also appear on content network websites. In this case, ad networks such as Google AdSense and Yahoo! Publisher Network attempt to provide ads that are relevant to the content of the page where they appear, and no search function is involved.

While many companies exist in this space, Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing, and Microsoft adCenter are the largest network operators as of 2007. Depending on the search engine, minimum prices per click start at US$0.01 (up to US$0.50), these prices are often referred to as Costs Per Click (CPC). Very popular search terms can cost much more on popular engines. Arguably this advertising model may be open to abuse through click fraud, although Google and other search engines have implemented automated systems to guard against this.[citation needed]

How AdSense Works

* In order to put ads on a web page, the webmaster adds a piece of JavaScript to its source code.
* Each time a visitor visits a page with an AdSense tag, the JavaScript creates an iframe, whose "src" attribute includes the URL of the page.
* For contextual advertisements, Google's servers use a cache of the page for the URL or the keywords in the URL itself to determine a set of high-value keywords. (Some of the details are described in the AdSense patent). If keywords have been cached already, ads are served for those keywords based on the AdWords bidding system.
* For Site targeted ads, the advertiser can choose the page or sites it wants to display ads on and pays on a CPM basis (cost per thousand impressions).
* For referrals, Google manages the subscriptions on a long term, to add money when the visitors either download the product of subscribe, that depend upon the sort of product.
* For search, advertisements are added to the list of results and clicks on them make money.
* Since the JavaScript is sent to the browser when the page is requested, it is possible to others to copy the JavaScript on to their own webpages. To protect against this, adsense hosts can set what pages their code is allowed to put ads on. In that case, clicks from other than the specified webpages are ignored by Google.

Adsense Overview

Google uses its search technology to serve ads based on website content, the user's geographical location, and other factors. Those wanting to advertise with Google's targeted ad system may sign up through AdWords. AdSense has become a popular method of placing advertising on a website because the ads are less intrusive than most banners, and the content of the ads is often relevant to the website.

Currently, AdSense uses JavaScript code to incorporate the advertisements into a participating site. If it is included on a site which has not yet been crawled by the Mediabot, it will temporarily display advertisements for charitable causes known as public service announcements (PSAs). (The Mediabot is a separate crawler from the Googlebot that maintains Google's search index.)

Many sites use AdSense to monetize their content and some webmasters work hard to maximize their own AdSense income. They do this in three ways:

1. They use a wide range of traffic generating techniques including but not limited to online advertising.
2. They build valuable content on their sites which attracts AdSense ads which pay out the most when they get clicked.
3. They use copy on their websites that encourage clicks on ads. Note that Google prohibits people from using phrases like "Click on my AdSense ads" to increase click rates. Phrases accepted are "Sponsored Links" and "Advertisements".

The source of all AdSense income is the AdWords program which in turn has a complex pricing model based on a Vickrey second price auction, in that it commands an advertiser to submit a sealed bid (not observable by competitors)। Additionally, for any given click received, advertisers only pay one bid increment above the second-highest bid.

Adsense earnings

PPC can increase Adsense earnings for anyone to incredible levels. PPC, acronym for pay-per-click advertising is a fast and arguably instantaneous way to drive traffic to your websites. Webmasters or internet marketers who have used this traffic technique would attest to its effectiveness. Making money from Adsense is a game of numbers. Combine PPC with your Adsense sites and you have got a formidable Adsense income machine.

Unfortunately, many folks fail to grasp the proper usage of PPC. And this is no fault of theirs. After all, it is not all so easy to employ pay-per-click to increase Adsense earnings. But what we hope to do today is to learn some really quick and money-grabbing tips to boost your Adsense income. Ready to increase Adsense earnings now?

Increase Adsense Earnings Tip 1 - Top-notch Adsense Arbitrage

Adsense arbitrage is coined as a term to describe using a cheaper click to trade with a more expensive one. How do you do that? To make it simple, you launch an Adwords campaign for a website with Adsense ads. Assuming you pay for 5 cents a click and someone clicks on an ad and you get paid 50 cents. So you have earned 45 cents for that click. Cool?

Some people use Adwords only to perform Adsense arbitrage. But this is not the best method. There are cheaper but quality PPC traffic elsewhere from Miva, GoClick, 7Search, etc. Use them wisely to boost your Adsense earnings but please read Adsense's terms of service to avoid committing mistakes that can get you banned.

Increase Adsense Earnings Tip 2 - Attract Expensive Clicks

You may have wished that you can control the cost-per-click of the ads that are displayed on your website. Sad to say, you cannot do so. But the good news is you can influence the value of clicks. One good way is to go for expensive themes like credit card debt, credit fixing, etc.

But wouldn't you have a problem since the clicks you buy are going to cost much as well? See my next tip for a solution.

Increase Adsense Earnings Tip 3 - Use Long-tail Keywords

When targeting any niche or theme, the best keywords are not the obvious ones. This is because obvious keywords like 'make money' and 'home business' are bided to such skyrocket levels that it is almost impossible to profit at all. Instead, target long-tail keywords that attract low to moderate traffic. One thing to note is these traffic are often laser-targeted and likely to take action at your website.

Increase Adsense Earnings Tip 4 - Use Call-to-Action Words

Words like 'free', 'buy', 'tips', 'guide', 'tutorial', 'gift', 'how to' etc are call to action words. They are best used in your advertisement title and text, campaign keywords and in your website content. The rationale behind this unfolds like this:

Your visitor is looking to buy something, say a book on 'how to increase Adsense earnings' and your advertisement appears because of exact keyword matching. He/she sees your ad and it stands out due to the presence of the keyword in the title and text. Your visitor clicks your ad and find your content relevant to what he/she is searching for. Well, the Adsense ads dangling all over your website is matched with your content right? Guess what will they do? Click on the Adsense ads! Voila!

Manage Ads google adsense
Manage Ads gives you more ad functionality

As we mentioned last week, we're constantly working to improve the new ad management feature. There's another wave of minor tweaks to this feature, inspired by your feedback as always.

Hide and seek
We've heard from more than a few of you that you'd like to see a 'delete' function on the Manage Ads page. To avoid deleting any ad unit that's currently serving impressions on your pages, we've now added a 'hide' function so you can avoid displaying ad units you prefer not to see on your Manage Ads page. Just click the 'Hide' link associated with a specific ad unit in the Actions column, and the ad will no longer appear when you view your Manage Ads page. Don't worry, hiding any active ad unit won't prevent it from generating revenue for you, and you can view your hidden ad units at any time by checking the box that says 'Show hidden AdSense units'.

Channel IDs for all
In addition to AdSense for content, you can now view the custom channel ID numbers associated with other AdSense products (e.g. AdSense for search and referrals). Visit the Channels page under the AdSense Setup tab, and select the tab corresponding to the product you'd like to view.

Introducing the Ad Review Center

In an effort to provide you with more transparency and control over the ads appearing on your pages, we've developed the Ad Review Center. This new feature, which we'll be rolling out to publishers over the next few months, will allow you to review ads placement-targeted to your site and ensure those ads are relevant to your site's users.

When you first opt into the Ad Review Center, you'll be able to see all placement-targeted ads currently targeted to your site, and a couple of days later you'll be able to review placement-targeted ads that have previously run on your site. If you think an ad is not relevant for your users, you can prevent it from appearing again by blocking it in the Ad Review Center. We recommend you carefully consider the revenue impact of blocking an ad, since blocked ads won't compete in the auction on your site, and advertisers whose ads you block may choose not to target your site again in the future.

In addition to letting publishers weigh in on the relevance of placement-targeted ads, the Ad Review Center will also help advertisers improve their placement-targeted ad campaigns. When you block an ad, you'll be prompted to select a reason. We'll share this constructive feedback with advertisers so they can use it to improve the quality and relevance of future ad campaigns.

As we've done with past features, we're gradually launching the Ad Review Center to all publishers over the next few months. When it has been enabled for your account, you'll see a green notification box at the top of your 'Competitive Ad Filter' page, located under the 'AdSense Setup' tab. By default, the Ad Review Center will let you review all placement-targeted ads after they have run on your site. However, if you have a strong need to manually review ads before they appear on your site, you may do so by clicking on the 'update settings' link in the Ad Review Center. You'll then have 24 hours to review ads before they are automatically allowed to run on your site. Please note that you can also return to the Ad Review Center and allow a previously blocked ad, or block a previously allowed ad.

We strongly recommend you keep your review preference set to 'auto-allow' and review ads after they have run. Ads don't participate in the auction while they are awaiting review, and ads that you have blocked cannot compete in the auction either. The actual revenue impact will vary in each publisher's situation, but when using the Ad Review Center, please consider the revenue effects of blocking ads or switching from the auto-allow setting.

To learn more about the Ad Review Center, please visit the Help Center. We hope you find this new feature useful and look forward to hearing your feedback.

UPDATED with screenshot

Farewell Onsite Advertiser Sign-up

We have high standards for the services we offer, which means we constantly reevaluate existing features to ensure they are effective as the AdSense product continues to expand.

Our recent findings indicate that the Onsite Advertiser Sign-up feature, which allowed advertisers to sign up for AdWords campaigns on your site, hasn't been performing as well as we had hoped. We've elected to gracefully retire this feature and focus our efforts on developing and supporting features that drive better monetization results for you. Call it time management, call it ROI, call it our unwavering commitment to our publishers. We want you to earn more revenue, and sometimes that means "sunsetting" certain features we created.

Please be aware that any links you've created that lead to a customizable Onsite Advertiser Sign-up page will soon re-direct to the main AdWords sign-up page. Of course, AdWords advertisers will still be able to target your individual sites by using placement targeting. Thanks for your support of this feature in the past. We hope its departure won't cause you any inconvenience.

New Manage Ads improvements, compliments of you

We've been listening to your comments on our new ad management feature, and so we're excited to tell you about a few updates that stem directly from your requests:

You can now view the ID number associated with a specific custom channel by visiting the 'Channels' link under the 'AdSense Setup' tab. Many of you told us that you needed these channel ID numbers for ad management programs you're using. We've added this information to your account since it no longer appears in your ad code.

Any ad units generated within the last 7 days that haven't yet received any impressions will now be listed as 'New', rather than 'Active', in your status column. This should help avoid confusion about your newest ad units and those already appearing on your pages.

You can now view the most recent date when each of your ad units was updated. Please note that these dates aren't retroactive, so any ad units you generated or edited before this display change will show a last-edited date of November 1st, 2007.

We're starting to slowly roll out the manage ads feature for your referral units. Just as with AdSense for content units, you'll soon be prompted to enter names for your newly generated referral units. If you'd like to make changes to your referral units at a later time, you can visit the 'Manage Ads' page. In the 'Content' column of this page, your referral units will display 'Referrals:' followed by the products or category of products being referred.

It doesn't end here, though -- we've got a few more enhancements planned for the Manage Ads feature in the next few weeks, so keep checking back for more updates. In the meantime, please continue sending your suggestions our way.

A follow-up to our referrals announcement
You may have seen our recent post about the upcoming changes to referrals promoting AdSense. Since we made this announcement, we've received a number of responses about the program being dependent on the location of the referring publisher. We've carefully considered your feedback, and have decided to modify the original plan.

The changes to referrals promoting AdSense will now depend on where your users are located, regardless of your location as a publisher. You'll earn $100 for every user you refer to AdSense who is located in North America, Latin America or Japan when they generate $100 in AdSense revenue within 180 days and they remove all payment holds. You'll no longer be paid for users you refer who are located elsewhere. These changes will go into effect the last week of January.

The option to add a referral unit for AdSense will reappear in your account when you target any referral unit to Japan and/or any countries in North America and Latin America. To ensure payment for valid conversions, we recommend that you check the targeting settings on your current AdSense referral units.

We've also heard from a number of you that you're no longer seeing recent AdSense referral earnings in your account. Please be assured that this is a display error -- past conversions have not been removed from your account. Our engineers are working hard to resolve this issue quickly.

Finally, we'd like to let you know about upcoming changes to the referrals programs for Google Pack and Firefox:

Google Pack: Currently, you can earn up to $2 when a user downloads and runs Google Pack for the first time after being referred through your link or button. Starting the third week of February, each successful Pack referral will earn up to $1. This change will apply to all referrals for Google Pack and is independent of user location or publisher location.

Firefox: We'll also be reducing payments for Firefox referrals from China during the third week of February. This specific referral payment change will only affect installations from users in China. Again, this is independent of your location as a publisher.

We understand that these changes may decrease revenue for some of you currently participating in these referrals programs. While it's our goal to help publishers earn as much as possible with the AdSense program, like any other referrals advertiser, we’re constantly evaluating our campaigns to make them effective and sustainable.

Again, thank you for your feedback and support of the referrals program

Another look at optimizations
We've given you many optimization tips over the years, and, as you know, it's important to consider how your ad implementations affect not only your click-through rate, but your users' and advertisers' experience as well. To support this, we'd like to remind you of the following two guidelines when optimizing your site.

1. Ads shouldn't be placed under a title or section heading in a way that implies that the ads are not ads.
For example, ads shouldn't be placed under titles such as “Dallas Business Opportunities” or “Today's Hot Deals”. Placing ads directly below titles such as these implies to your users that the links in the ads are publisher-created content. The example below shows a placement that does not follow this guideline.

2. Ads should be easily distinguishable from surrounding content.
Similarly, you should not place an ad unit by a group of links that has identical colors and line spacing. Doing so may cause users to think the ad unit is content created by you. In this situation, we recommend using a different color for the ad titles or indenting the ad unit to help distinguish the ads from your own content. This screenshot shows an implementation that does not follow this guideline:

As you can imagine, users who click on ads that they think are publisher-created content may lose trust in your site and decide not to return in the future. It's important to keep their interests in mind, as well as your own.

Also, advertisers can tell which sites have a high conversion rate for them using Placement Performance reports. A conversion occurs when a click on an ad leads directly to user behavior that the advertiser deems valuable, such as a purchase, sign-up, page view, or lead. Advertisers have the option to exclude your site from their campaigns and may do so if it is not leading to conversions.

We believe these guidelines invest in the long-term health of the relationship between AdSense publishers, AdWords advertisers, and your sites' visitors, and that they will help ensure your continued success in the AdSense program.

Introducing AdSense for conversations
We're happy to announce the launch of AdSense for conversations, a new type of monetization solution that "puts the 'context' in contextual advertising". Now, in just a few simple steps, you can begin displaying ads that are relevant to the topics you're discussing -- in an unobtrusive screen above your head.

Anyone taking part in the conversation can hit the ad with their hand to immediately take advantage of the product or service being offered. With our new Teleportation Technology(TM), you'll be transported directly to the site where the service is available, or have the product appear instantaneously in your hands.

Based on our omega testing, we've noticed a few common questions among publishers that we'd like to answer.

How do I add Google ads to my conversations?
Once you sign up using the link at the bottom of this post, we'll send you an adjustable screen and special AdSense headgear to attach it to. Just follow our Screen Implementation Guide to assemble it and select your desired size, such as the very effective 300 x 250 mm. Don't forget to also visit the 'Manage Ads' section of your account to customize the look and feel of your ads -- try a color palette with 336699 to bring out the blue in your eyes!

Can I prevent ads from appearing in certain conversations?
Yes; we understand that there's a time and place for ads in conversations, as a chat with a friend isn't quite the same as an interview with a prospective employer or parole officer. That's why we let you choose which conversations to target using the 'Allowed Conversations' feature, located under your AdSense Setup tab.

Why are my ads not targeted to my conversation?
If you're not seeing targeted ads, it may be that you haven't discussed a particular topic long enough for our system to determine the meaning of your conversation. We recommend rambling and repeating yourself to help our system pick relevant ads to display. Also, you may wish to try our voice targeting feature -- you can speak more loudly to emphasize certain phrases. However, these activities may result in socially awkward situations, so please proceed with caution.

What reports can I view?
You can view reports about how funny your conversations were, how much your companion was actually listening, and, if you implement the 'review my spoken English' setting, how many times you said the word 'like' or 'uh' in a particular conversation.

Working with the Ad Review Center
Working with the Ad Review Center

As you may remember, we started enabling the Ad Review Center for publishers back in December to let you review ads placement-targeted to your site. We've recently enabled the Ad Review Center for more accounts and will continue rolling it out over the upcoming weeks. To get a publisher's perspective on the new feature, we chatted with Richard Tribe, Director of ski.com.au.

Australian snow enthusiasts can visit ski.com.au to learn about resorts and travel deals, as well as news and photos of conditions. The site also serves as a skier community, with videos, forums, wikis, and several blogs. Richard has been using the Ad Review Center to ensure relevant, high-quality ads appear alongside his content. He explains that "the Ad Review Center allowed me to see who was targeting my site, and I saw a wonderful array of high-quality advertisers in there... The Ad Review Center is a great way of managing the quality and style of advertiser you would like to have associated with your publication."

To highlight specific inventory, Richard has turned his custom channels into ad placements. For instance, he found that his live camera feeds of snow conditions drove significant advertiser interest, so he created specific snow camera ad placements. He elaborates, "That extra choice helps make my site look more attractive and allows advertisers to place their ads exactly where they want to place them." With targetable custom channels, Richard has given advertisers more control over where their placement-targeted ads can appear, and using the Ad Review Center, he ensures those ads are relevant to his site's audience.

To check if the Ad Review Center has been enabled for your account, visit the 'Competitive Ad Filter' page under the AdSense Setup tab and look for a green notification box.

When setting up the Ad Review Center in your account, we strongly recommend you keep your review preference set to the default of 'Run ads immediately', and review placement-targeted ads after they have run. Ads don't participate in the auction while they are awaiting review, and ads that you have blocked can't compete in the auction either. We ask that you consider the revenue implications before blocking ads or switching from the 'Run immediately' setting.

Apa itu Google Adsense ?

2008-04-09T07:44:00.000-07:00

Secara singkat, AdSense adalah layanan iklan yg dimiliki oleh Google, dimana para pemilik situs dapat memasang iklan tersebut di situs2 mereka dan mendapatkan penghasilan tambahan. Iklan yg muncul bermacam-macam jenisnya, bisa berupa teks, gambar, bahkan video; namun yg pasti, semuanya menggunakan sistem kontekstual (contextual), dimana iklan tersebut akan relevan atau sesuai dengan isi halaman dimana iklan tersebut dipasang. Perhatikan contoh gambar berikut:

AdSense Sample Images

Seluruh iklan disimpan di server milik Google sendiri, sehingga kita tidak perlu menyediakan ruang khusus di server kita untuk AdSense, ataupun meng-upload file-file tertentu. Cukup dengan menyisipkan kode JavaScript yg diberikan pada halaman situs kita saja kita sudah dapat menikmati hadirnya iklan AdSense di situs kita.

AdSense Code Images
Bagaimana Kita Mendapatkan Uang?

Seperti disebutkan di atas, dengan memasangkan iklan AdSense di situs mereka, pemilik situs memperoleh kesempatan untuk mendapatkan penghasilan tambahan. Bagaimana caranya?

Tidak sulit. Yg perlu Anda, sebagai pemilik situs, lakukan adalah menunggu (dan berdoa) agar ada pengunjung yg meng-klik iklan2 tersebut. Ya, cukup dengan meng-klik saja, otomatis Anda, sebagai publisher AdSense, akan mendapatkan sejumlah uang yg nilai bagiannya diperhitungkan dari besarnya bid yg telah ditentukan oleh si pemasang iklan (advertisers). Meskipun ada faktor2 lain yg mempengaruhi, secara umum, bagian yg diperoleh publisher adalah 20% dari nilai bid.

Perlu diingat, klik yg dihitung hanyalah klik2 yg dianggap valid. Anda tidak diperbolehkan untuk melakukan klik terhadap iklan milik Anda sendiri atau pun menyuruh orang lain meng-klik iklan Anda. Detil peraturan Google AdSense dapat Anda baca di sini.

Setelah Anda mendaftarkan diri di Google AdSense dan diterima, Anda akan mendapatkan akses ke Member Area Google AdSense. Di situ, selain tersedia tool untuk men-generate kode iklan yg dibutuhkan, juga terdapat halaman Report yg mencantumkan perolehan pendapatan Anda beserta jumlah klik yg didapatkan, jumlah tampilan iklan, dan info2 penting lainnya. Perhatikan gambar berikut:

AdSense Report Images
Bagaimana Pembayarannya?

Pembayaran akan dilakukan 30 hari setelah total pendapatan Anda dalam satu bulan mencapai minimal $100. Jadi apabila bulan Februari ini Anda memperoleh $100, maka penghasilan Anda tersebut akan dikirimkan pada akhir bulan Maret. Untuk Indonesia, pembayaran akan dikirimkan dalam bentuk cek dan Anda dapat memilih untuk menggunakan jasa pos ataupun DHL (Express Delivery) dalam proses pengiriman tersebut.

Jika menggunakan jasa pos, waktu pengiriman biasanya paling cepat adalah 20-25 hari (tergantung lokasi Anda). Sedangkan, jika menggunakan DHL, cek sudah akan Anda terima dalam waktu 2-3 hari kerja. Jangan lupa, Anda biaya sebesar $24 jika Anda memilih menggunakan sistem Express Delivery, dimana biaya tersebut otomatis akan dipotong dari penghasilan kita.
Bagaimana Potensi Penghasilannya?

Tidak terbatas! Banyak publisher AdSense yg telah memperoleh ribuan bahkan puluhan ribu dollar per bulannya. Di Indonesia sendiri, publisher AdSense dengan penghasilan ribuan dollar per bulan sudah bukan hal yg aneh lagi. Sebagian dari mereka dapat Anda baca kisahnya di sini.

Baca pula Tehnik Dasar AdSense, Tips2 Seputar AdSense, dan Tanya Jawab AdSense.

Meskipun berpotensi untuk meraih pendapatan yg besar dan bahkan tidak terbatas, berbisnis Google AdSense tidak semudah membalikkan telapak tangan. Semua tetap butuh usaha dan waktu yg mungkin tidak sedikit.

Tips Pengatahuan Dasar Google adsense

2008-04-09T07:39:00.000-07:00

Apabila sudah diterima permohonan jadi publisher Google AdSense, maka sekarang tinggal memasang kode HTML-nya di blog Anda. Ingat, Google AdSense hanya keluar iklannya apabila blog kita menggunakan bahasa Inggris atau bahasa Eropa lain plus Mandarin, Jepang dan Korea, bukan bahasa Indonesia.

Kalau blog Anda bahasa Indonesia, cukup memasang google AdSense referral saja.

Proses pengambilan kode

1. Setelah login ke google.com/adsense, klik AdSense Setup.
2. Klik AdSense for Content;
3. Kasih tanda tik/cek di menu Ad Unit (biasanya sudah otomatis/by default), di bagian paling bawah klik menu CONTINUE;
4. Di menu FORMAT, ada menu kotak scrolldown, pilih format ukuran iklan yg akan Anda pasang. Contoh, pilih 200x200 Small Square, terus klik CONTINUE (di bagian paling bawah);
5. Klik lagi CONTINUE (bagian paling bawah);
6. Ada kode HTML/javascript di situ, copy/paste dan simpan di notepad;
7. Masukkan ke dalam template blog Anda.
8. SAVE dan REPUBLISH (untuk blogger lama); atau SAVE saja (untuk blogger baru).
9. Selesai.

Untuk Pasang Google AdSense di Blogger Baru dapat langsung login id-Adsense Anda via blog dan bisa dipasang di sidebar dan/atau di footer (tutorial lebih detil menyusul).

Tip:
1. *Umumnya ukuran 200x200 Small Square untuk ditaruh di Sidebar; sedangkan untuk ditaruh di tengah dekat artikel biasanya memakai ukuran 300x250 Medium Rectangle atau 250x250 Square.

2. Jumlah maksimum iklan yg dapat dipasang sebanyak tiga. Bila lebih dari tiga, maka iklan tsb tidak akan keluar. Contoh format-format ukuran AdSense bisa dilihat di sini.

Update:

AdSense Link Unit

Ada dua macam AdSense for Content (1) AdSense Ad Unit (2) AdSense Link Unit. Tutorial AdSense Ad Unit sudah disebut di atas. Sedang untuk mendapatkan kode AdSense Link Unit caranya sama dg AdSense Ad Unit, bedanya cuma di nomor 3, di sini kasih tanda tik/cek di menu "Link Unit", aturan selanjutnya sama dg prosedur Ad Unit.

Beda Ad Unit dan Link Unit

1. Apabila ada visitor yg mengklik Ad Unit, maka otomatis publisher yaitu Anda sendiri dibayar oleh Google; sedangkan kalau visitor mengklik Link Unit publisher tidak dibayar kecuali apabila visitor tsb. mengklik link berikutnya yakni link-link yg terdapat setelah visitor mengklik link di Link-Unit.
2. Batas Ad Unit yg dapat dipasang di halaman blog maksimum 3 (tiga), sedangkan Link Unit cuma satu.

Mendorong klik

Untuk memastikan pengalaman yang baik bagi pengguna dan pengiklan, penayang tidak boleh meminta pengguna mengklik iklan di situs mereka atau mengandalkan metode penerapan yang bersifat tipu daya untuk mendapatkan klik. Penayang yang berpartisipasi dalam program AdSense:

* Tidak boleh mendorong pengguna untuk mengklik iklan Google menggunakan frase seperti "klik iklan ini", "dukung kami", "kunjungi link ini", atau bahasa lain yang serupa
* Tidak boleh mengarahkan perhatian pengguna ke iklan melalui tanda panah atau materi grafis lainnya
* Tidak boleh menempatkan gambar yang menyesatkan di samping setiap iklan

* Tidak boleh memberikan kompensasi kepada pengguna untuk melihat iklan atau melakukan pencarian, atau menjanjikan kompensasi kepada pihak ketiga atas perilaku tersebut
* Tidak boleh menempatkan label yang menyesatkan di atas unit iklan Google, misalnya iklan berlabel "Link Sponsor" namun bukan "Situs Favorit"

Konten Situs

Meskipun Google menawarkan akses luas ke berbagai konten dalam indeks pencarian, namun penayang dalam program AdSense hanya dapat menempatkan iklan Google di situs yang mematuhi panduan konten kami, dan iklan tersebut tidak boleh ditampilkan pada halaman manapun yang sebagian besar kontennya menggunakan bahasa yang tidak didukung. Lihat daftar bahasa yang didukung.

Situs yang menampilkan iklan Google tidak boleh mencakup:

Materi yang Dilindungi Hak Cipta

Penayang situs Web tidak boleh menampilkan iklan Google pada halaman Web dengan konten yang dilindungi undang-undang hak cipta, kecuali jika mereka memiliki hak hukum yang diharuskan untuk menampilkan konten tersebut.

Situs yang menampilkan iklan Google harus mudah dinavigasi oleh pengguna dan tidak boleh berisi pop-up yang berlebihan. Kode AdSense tidak boleh diganti, atau aktivitas iklan standar tidak boleh dimanipulasi dengan cara apapun yang tidak diizinkan secara tersurat oleh Google.

* Situs yang menampilkan iklan Google tidak boleh berisi pop-up atau pop-under yang mengganggu navigasi situs, mengubah preferensi pengguna, atau memulai proses download.
* Kode AdSense apapun harus disisipkan langsung ke halaman Web tanpa modifikasi. Peserta AdSense tidak boleh mengganti bagian apapun dalam kode atau mengubah aktivitas, penargetan, maupun penayangan iklan. Misalnya, klik pada iklan Google tidak boleh ditampilkan di jendela browser baru.
* Situs atau pihak ketiga tidak dapat menampilkan iklan, kotak pencarian, atau tombol referensi sebagai hasil tindakan aplikasi perangkat lunak apapun, seperti toolbar.
* Tidak ada kode AdSense yang dapat digabungkan dengan aplikasi perangkat lunak.
* Halaman Web yang berisi kode AdSense tidak boleh diambil dengan perangkat lunak apapun yang dapat memicu pop-up, mengarahkan ulang pengguna ke situs Web yang tidak dikehendaki, memodifikasi pengaturan browser, atau mengganggu navigasi situs. Anda bertanggung jawab untuk memastikan bahwa tidak ada jaringan iklan atau afiliasinya yang menggunakan metode tersebut dalam mengarahkan lalu lintas ke halaman yang berisi kode AdSense.
* Penawaran referensi harus dilakukan tanpa kewajiban atau persyaratan apapun kepada pengguna akhir. Penayang tidak boleh meminta alamat email dari pengguna dalam kaitannya dengan unit referensi AdSense.
* Penayang yang menggunakan iklan online untuk mengarahkan lalu lintas ke halaman yang menampilkan iklan Google harus memenuhi semangat Panduan Kualitas Halaman Arahan Google. Misalnya, jika Anda mengiklankan situs yang berpartisipasi dalam program AdSense, maka iklan tersebut tidak boleh memperdaya pelanggan.

Penempatan Iklan

AdSense menawarkan sejumlah format dan produk iklan. Penayang dianjurkan untuk mencoba beragam penempatan, asalkan mematuhi kebijakan sebagai berikut:

* Hingga 3 unit iklan dapat ditampilkan pada setiap halaman.
* Maksimal 2 Google AdSense untuk kotak pencarian dapat ditempatkan pada halaman.
* Hingga 3 unit link juga dapat ditempatkan pada setiap halaman.
* Hingga 3 unit referensi dari setiap produk atau penawaran referensi dapat ditampilkan pada halaman, selain unit iklan, kotak pencarian, dan unit link yang dijelaskan di atas.
* AdSense untuk halaman hasil pencarian hanya dapat menampilkan satu unit link iklan selain iklan yang disajikan Google dengan hasil pencarian. Iklan lain tidak dapat ditampilkan pada halaman hasil pencarian Anda.
* Iklan Google atau kotak pencarian Google tidak dapat ditampilkan dalam pop-up, pop-under, atau email.
* Bagian halaman tidak boleh menyamarkan bagian iklan.
* Iklan Google tidak dapat ditempatkan pada halaman yang berbasis nonkonten.
* Iklan Google tidak dapat ditempatkan pada halaman yang ditayangkan khusus untuk tujuan menampilkan iklan, baik jika konten halaman relevan maupun tidak.

Iklan dan Layanan Bersaing

Agar pengguna tidak bingung, kami tidak mengizinkan iklan atau kotak pencarian Google ditayangkan di situs Web yang juga berisi iklan atau layanan lain yang diformat menggunakan tata letak dan warna sama seperti iklan atau kotak pencarian Google di situs tersebut. Meskipun Anda boleh menjual iklan secara langsung di situs, namun Anda bertanggung jawab untuk memastikan iklan tersebut tidak serupa dengan iklan Google.

Istilah-istilah dalam google adsense Perlu dipahami

Bagi pemula yg baru mengenal AdSense mungkin belum mengetahui istilah2 yg sering dipergunakan. Berhubung pepatah mengatakan “Tak Kenal Maka Tak Sayang”, maka tidak ada salahnya untuk mempelajari terlebih dahulu arti dari istilah2 tersebut sebelum mempelajari lebih jauh mengenai AdSense.

Publisher

Publisher adalah orang atau pemilik situs yg sudah bergabung dengan Google AdSense dan sudah pula memasang iklan AdSense di situs mereka.

Ad Units

Yg dimaksud dengan Ad Units ya iklan AdSense itu sendiri. Ad Units ini terdiri dari beberapa jenis dan ukuran. Yg paling umum adalah jenis Text Ads (lihat gambar di bawah).
Pada saat pengunjung meng-klik unit iklan ini, maka, jika valid, publisher akan mendapatkan pemasukan sesuai dengan nilai CPC-nya.

Untuk lebih jelasnya, perhatikan contoh masing2 jenis dan ukuran Ad Units di sini.

Dalam satu halaman, publisher diperbolehkan untuk memasang maksimal tiga buah Ad Units.

Link Units

Link Units hampir sama dengan Ad Units, hanya saja formatnya mirip dengan format menu yg biasa kita temui di situs2 web. Perhatikan gambar berikut:

Contoh lain dapat dilihat di sini.

Yg membedakan Link Units dengan Ad Units adalah pada saat pengunjung meng-klik iklan ini, maka ia akan diarahkan pada halaman hasil pencarian di search engine Google. Publisher baru akan mendapatkan pemasukan apabila pengunjung meng-klik salah satu Ad Unit yg ada di halaman tersebut. Pada prakteknya, Link Units terbukti menghasilkan pemasukan lebih banyak dibandingkan Ad Units biasa.

Dalam satu halaman situs, publisher diperbolehkan untuk memasang satu buah Link Units saja.

AdSense for Content

Yg dimaksud AdSense for Content adalah iklan AdSense yg dipasang di dalam suatu halaman. Iklan2 yg muncul adalah iklan2 yg berhubungan dng isi halaman tersebut. Atau istilahnya menggunakan konsep contextual. Ad Units dan Link Units adalah yg termasuk dalam AdSense for Content ini.

Alternate Ads

Pada AdSense for Content, iklan tidak selalu muncul. Sebabnya antara lain bisa karena memang stok iklan yg berhubungan dengan isi situs sudah habis atau Google tidak dapat memperkirakan apa isi situs itu sebenarnya. Jika ini terjadi, secara default, yg ditampilkan adalah iklan layanan masyarakat atau sering dikenal dengan istilah PSA (Public Service Ads). Karena bertipe donasi, maka jika di-klik, iklan ini tidak menghasilkan apa2 bagi publisher.

Untuk mengatasinya, Google memperbolehkan kita untuk memasang Alternate Ads atau iklan alternatif. Jika Ad Units yg dibuat telah di-setting dengan menggunakan Alternate Ads, maka apabila Ad Units tersebut tidak dapat tampil, yg muncul adalah iklan alternatif yg ter-setting didalamnya.

AdSense for Search

Selain memasang iklan, publisher AdSense juga dapat memasang form search box di situs mereka. Form ini dinamakan AdSense for Search. Apabila ada pengunjung yg melakukan pencarian dengan menggunakan form tersebut, maka ia akan dibawa menuju halaman hasil pencarian yg bersangkutan. Sama halnya dengan Link Units, publisher akan mendapat pemasukan apabila salah satu iklan yg ada di halaman tersebut di-klik.

Publisher diperbolehkan untuk memasang maksimal 2 buah form AdSense for Search dalam satu halaman. Selain itu publisher tidak diperbolehkan untuk memasang form pencarian dari pihak lain.

Referrals

Referrals adalah satu lagi sumber pendapatan publisher di dunia AdSense. Ya, publisher dapat melakukan iklan referral, baik berupa banner maupun text, di situs mereka. Yg perlu diingat, iklan jenis ini bersifat CPA (Cost Per Action), dimana publisher baru akan dibayar apabila pengunjung yg meng-klik iklan tersebut telah melakukan tindakan tertentu.

Misalnya, pada iklan referral AdSense, pengunjung yg meng-klik iklan dan bergabung dengan Google AdSense baru akan menghasilkan pemasukan bagi publisher apabila pengunjung tersebut meraih $100 dalam jangka waktu 6 bulan (180 hari).

Contoh tampilan iklan Referrals adalah sebagai berikut:

Google Referrals Images

Saat ini ada 3 macam iklan referral, yaitu AdSense, AdWords, dan Firefox.

Channels

Channels adalah semacam label yg dapat diberikan pada Ad Units, Link Units, AdSense for Search, dan Referrals. Satu unit iklan dapat memiliki lebih dari satu lebih, dan sebaliknya, satu label dapat digunakan untuk lebih dari satu unit iklan. Di halaman laporan Google AdSense, hasil laporan akan dikelompokkan berdasarkan Channels, sehingga penggunaan Channels akan sangat memudahkan publisher untuk menganalisa perfomance AdSense mereka.

Umumnya, publisher akan memberikan nama Channels yg sama pada unit2 iklan yg ada di satu situs. Jika mau lebih detail, sah2 saja untuk memberikan nama Channels yg berbeda untuk tiap2 unit iklan di tiap2 situs. Yg perlu diingat, maksimal jumlah Channels yg diperbolehkan saat ini adalah 200 buah.

Page Impressions

Page Impressions adalah jumlah yg menunjukkan berapa kali halaman yg mengandung Ad Units dibuka oleh pengunjung. Nilainya tidak terpengaruh oleh kuantitas Ad Units yg ada di dalam halaman yg bersangkutan.

Clicks

Rasanya tidak perlu diterangkan panjang lebar. Clicks adalah jumlah klik pada Ad Units milik publisher. Dalam halaman laporan AdSense, publisher dapat melihat total klik yg ia dapatkan, maupun berdasarkan Ad Units maupun Channel-nya.

CTR (Clickthrough Rate)

CTR adalah perbandingan dalam persen antara jumlah klik yg diterima suatu Ad Units dengan jumlah tampilan Ad Units tersebut. Misal, satu Ad Units yg ditampilkan 40 kali dan di-klik 10 kali memiliki nilai CTR 25% (10:40).

Berapa nilai CTR yg ideal? Hal ini sulit ditentukan karena terpengaruh oleh banyak faktor, seperti sumber datangnya pengunjung, jumlah pengunjung, dan sebagainya. Untuk situs yg padat pengunjung misalnya, nilai CTR antara 8 - 10% sudah termasuk ideal.

CPC (Cost Per Click)

CPC adalah jumlah uang yg akan didapatkan oleh publisher apabila Ad Units tertentu di klik. Nilai CPC masing2 Ad Units berbeda dan ditentukan oleh banyak faktor, termasuk perfomance publisher dan kualitas situs milik publisher. Namun secara umum, nilai maksimal yg mungkin adalah 20% dari nilai bid dinamis yg ditawarkan pemasang iklan.

eCPM (Effective CPM)

eCPM atau CPM (Cost Per Million) adalah hasil pembagian antara jumlah pendapatan publisher dengan jumlah page impression (per 1000) yg ia dapatkan dari iklan2nya. Sebagai contoh, publisher yg menghasilkan $200 dari 50,000 impression akan memiliki nilai CPM sebesar $4 ($200/50).

Nilai eCPM pada umumnya tidak begitu bermanfaat bagi publisher. Namun publisher dapat secara garis besar melihat kesuksesan Channel / Ad Units-nya berdasarkan eCPM Channel atau Ad Units tersebut.

Ads Unit google adsense yang baik

Mengelola Ads Unit google adsense

1. Pemilihan Format Ads
Apakah harus berupa banner? Skyscrapers? Rectangles? Squares? Memilih akan menjadi sangat membingungkan tapi banyak orang memasang Ads mereka dengan setting default atau standar dan itu adalah kesalahan besar. Jadi saya harus memilih format apa? Sabar ya... baca terus aja.

2. Jangan terlihat seperti Adsense
Orang mengunjungi website kita bukan untuk Adsense, mereka mencari content yang berbobot. Jika anda membuat Adsense anda menonjol dengan warna yang mencolok, gambar atau border/garis pinggir akan membuat pengunjung anda mengenalinya sebagai iklan - dan pengunjung berusaha dengan keras untuk menghindarinya. Begitu juga penempatan Adsense yang jauh terlalu terpisah dengan isi website seperti sebagai banner atau terlalu jauh dipojok halaman anda, hal itu akan membuat semakin mudah untuk diabaikan.

Jika anda ingin pengunjung melakukan klik anda harus membuatnya menjadi seperti bagian dari konten.

"Saat ini pengunjung menjadi "buta"dengan banners, benci dengan pop-ups, dan sadar akan bentuk-bentuk iklan di website dan menjadi sangat skeptik dengan lomba/kontes ataupun hadiah gratisan. Jadi bagaimana meyakinkan mereka? Mudah. jangan buat Adsense anda seperti Adsense."

3. Memilih format text ads daripada images ads adalah keputusan tepat.
- dengan format yang tepat, sebuah adsense berbasis text akan dapat menjadi kesatuan dalam materi/konten website. Adsense berbentuk image tidak akan memberikan kebebasan dengan penampilannya kita hanya bisa mengatur ukuran dan posisinya. Kemampuan memilih warna dan sedikit pengetahuan tentang HTML dan CSS akan sangat membantu poin ini menjadi sempurna.
- Kelebihan lain kenapa memilih format text, kita dapat mempersempit pengambilan ruang dalam halaman konten dan pengunjung sangat menyukai adanya banyak pilihan.
- Pengunjung membenci banner dan menghindarinya tapi pengunjung lebih menghargai text ads yang berhubungan dengan konten.

4. Ukuran format adsense yang paling ampuh.
Ukuran yang mana yang paling ampuh?
336 x 280 (Large Rectangle)
Keapa harus memilih ukuran ini? Jawabannya mudah. Format ini yang mendapatkan klik paling banyak. Karena format ini tampilannya paling mendekati seperti materi konten, dan banyak orang mengatakan demikian jadi manut wae! hahaha

Diperingkat kedua adalah ukuran 300 x 250 (Medium Rectangle)

Format ukuran ini sangat berguna ketika ingin menempatkan dua set adsense secara berdampingan. Ukurannya untuk ditempatkan dalam halaman website sangat tepat.

Sangat direkomendasikan juga menempatkan adsense ukuran "wide skycraper" tentunya yang berformat text dibagian ujung kanan halaman website. Kenapa demikian? karena kebanyakan pengguna komputer adalah pengguna yang menggerakan mouse dengan tangan kanan. Karena dengan penempatan ini secara psikologis mengurangi jarak antara tangan kanan pengguna dengan layar monitor. Pointer hampir selalu akan kembali ke bagian kanan dari monitor.

Hindari penggunaan ukuran format adsense 468 x 60.

Kebanyakan pendaftar adsense ketika memulai selalu menggunakan 468 x 60. Kesalahan Besar!

Kebanyakan orang berpikir ketika ingin menempatkan iklan google atau adsense diwebsite mereka, mereka harus memperlakukannya sebagai iklan atau banner, dan itu adalah kesalahan besar... dan memang ukuran format adsense yang paling tepat untuk pola pikir ini adalah format adsense 468 x 60 yang dengan sangat mudah orang akan mengabaikannya.

Semua orang sangat familiar dengan format ini, dan maka oleh itu rate klik untuk ukuran ini sangat rendah walupun dalam bentuk gambar ataupun animasi yang sangat menarik sekalipun.

Sepertinya format 468 x 60 ini berkata : "Hey saya adalah iklan, apapun yang kamu lakukan jangan click saya!

AdWords

Salah satu program yang ditawarkan oleh Google berupa PPC (Pay Per Click). Perusahan yang ingin mempromosikan produk atau layanan mereka bisa bergabung dengan program ini. Iklan Adwords yang tampil di situs Publisher disebut ‘Adsense’.

Alternate ads

Alternate Ads memungkinkan kita untuk memonitor ruang iklan bilamana Google tidak menampilkan iklan tertarget ke halaman situs kita. Dengan menentukan gambar atau ad server sesuai dengan keinginan, maka kita bisa memastikan ruang iklan selalu terpakai secara efektif, entah oleh iklan tertarget atau oleh konten pilihan kita sendiri.

Alternate Ads akan muncul pada saat tidak ada iklan tertarget yang tersedia untuk halaman situs kita. Jika hal ini terjadi, ruang iklan tidak lagi di-brand atas nama ‘Ads by Google’, tapi bisa kita tentukan sesuai dengan keinginan.

Perhitungannya diperoleh dengan membagi total penghasilan dengan jumlah kemunculan per 1000. Misalnya, jika publisher mendapatkan $180 dari 45.000 kemunculan, maka CPMnya sama dengan $180/45, atau $4.00.

Istilah-istilah Umum di Dunia AdSense (Dan Penjelasannya)

2008-04-09T02:09:00.000-07:00

Bagi pemula yg baru mengenal AdSense mungkin belum mengetahui istilah2 yg sering dipergunakan. Berhubung pepatah mengatakan “Tak Kenal Maka Tak Sayang”, maka tidak ada salahnya untuk mempelajari terlebih dahulu arti dari istilah2 tersebut sebelum mempelajari lebih jauh mengenai AdSense.

Publisher

Publisher adalah orang atau pemilik situs yg sudah bergabung dengan Google AdSense dan sudah pula memasang iklan AdSense di situs mereka.
Ad Units

Yg dimaksud dengan Ad Units ya iklan AdSense itu sendiri. Ad Units ini terdiri dari beberapa jenis dan ukuran. Yg paling umum adalah jenis Text Ads (lihat gambar di bawah). Pada saat pengunjung meng-klik unit iklan ini, maka, jika valid, publisher akan mendapatkan pemasukan sesuai dengan nilai CPC-nya.

Text Ads Images

Untuk lebih jelasnya, perhatikan contoh masing2 jenis dan ukuran Ad Units di sini.

Dalam satu halaman, publisher diperbolehkan untuk memasang maksimal tiga buah Ad Units.
Link Units

Link Units hampir sama dengan Ad Units, hanya saja formatnya mirip dengan format menu yg biasa kita temui di situs2 web. Perhatikan gambar berikut:

Links Unit Images

Contoh lain dapat dilihat di sini.

Yg membedakan Link Units dengan Ad Units adalah pada saat pengunjung meng-klik iklan ini, maka ia akan diarahkan pada halaman hasil pencarian di search engine Google. Publisher baru akan mendapatkan pemasukan apabila pengunjung meng-klik salah satu Ad Unit yg ada di halaman tersebut. Pada prakteknya, Link Units terbukti menghasilkan pemasukan lebih banyak dibandingkan Ad Units biasa.

Dalam satu halaman situs, publisher diperbolehkan untuk memasang satu buah Link Units saja.
AdSense for Content

Yg dimaksud AdSense for Content adalah iklan AdSense yg dipasang di dalam suatu halaman. Iklan2 yg muncul adalah iklan2 yg berhubungan dng isi halaman tersebut. Atau istilahnya menggunakan konsep contextual. Ad Units dan Link Units adalah yg termasuk dalam AdSense for Content ini.
Alternate Ads

Pada AdSense for Content, iklan tidak selalu muncul. Sebabnya antara lain bisa karena memang stok iklan yg berhubungan dengan isi situs sudah habis atau Google tidak dapat memperkirakan apa isi situs itu sebenarnya. Jika ini terjadi, secara default, yg ditampilkan adalah iklan layanan masyarakat atau sering dikenal dengan istilah PSA (Public Service Ads). Karena bertipe donasi, maka jika di-klik, iklan ini tidak menghasilkan apa2 bagi publisher.

Untuk mengatasinya, Google memperbolehkan kita untuk memasang Alternate Ads atau iklan alternatif. Jika Ad Units yg dibuat telah di-setting dengan menggunakan Alternate Ads, maka apabila Ad Units tersebut tidak dapat tampil, yg muncul adalah iklan alternatif yg ter-setting didalamnya.
AdSense for Search

Selain memasang iklan, publisher AdSense juga dapat memasang form search box di situs mereka. Form ini dinamakan AdSense for Search. Apabila ada pengunjung yg melakukan pencarian dengan menggunakan form tersebut, maka ia akan dibawa menuju halaman hasil pencarian yg bersangkutan. Sama halnya dengan Link Units, publisher akan mendapat pemasukan apabila salah satu iklan yg ada di halaman tersebut di-klik.

Publisher diperbolehkan untuk memasang maksimal 2 buah form AdSense for Search dalam satu halaman. Selain itu publisher tidak diperbolehkan untuk memasang form pencarian dari pihak lain.
Referrals

Referrals adalah satu lagi sumber pendapatan publisher di dunia AdSense. Ya, publisher dapat melakukan iklan referral, baik berupa banner maupun text, di situs mereka. Yg perlu diingat, iklan jenis ini bersifat CPA (Cost Per Action), dimana publisher baru akan dibayar apabila pengunjung yg meng-klik iklan tersebut telah melakukan tindakan tertentu.

Misalnya, pada iklan referral AdSense, pengunjung yg meng-klik iklan dan bergabung dengan Google AdSense baru akan menghasilkan pemasukan bagi publisher apabila pengunjung tersebut meraih $100 dalam jangka waktu 6 bulan (180 hari).

Contoh tampilan iklan Referrals adalah sebagai berikut:

Google Referrals Images

Saat ini ada 3 macam iklan referral, yaitu AdSense, AdWords, dan Firefox.
Channels

Channels adalah semacam label yg dapat diberikan pada Ad Units, Link Units, AdSense for Search, dan Referrals. Satu unit iklan dapat memiliki lebih dari satu lebih, dan sebaliknya, satu label dapat digunakan untuk lebih dari satu unit iklan. Di halaman laporan Google AdSense, hasil laporan akan dikelompokkan berdasarkan Channels, sehingga penggunaan Channels akan sangat memudahkan publisher untuk menganalisa perfomance AdSense mereka.

Umumnya, publisher akan memberikan nama Channels yg sama pada unit2 iklan yg ada di satu situs. Jika mau lebih detail, sah2 saja untuk memberikan nama Channels yg berbeda untuk tiap2 unit iklan di tiap2 situs. Yg perlu diingat, maksimal jumlah Channels yg diperbolehkan saat ini adalah 200 buah.
Page Impressions

Page Impressions adalah jumlah yg menunjukkan berapa kali halaman yg mengandung Ad Units dibuka oleh pengunjung. Nilainya tidak terpengaruh oleh kuantitas Ad Units yg ada di dalam halaman yg bersangkutan.
Clicks

Rasanya tidak perlu diterangkan panjang lebar. Clicks adalah jumlah klik pada Ad Units milik publisher. Dalam halaman laporan AdSense, publisher dapat melihat total klik yg ia dapatkan, maupun berdasarkan Ad Units maupun Channel-nya.
CTR (Clickthrough Rate)

CTR adalah perbandingan dalam persen antara jumlah klik yg diterima suatu Ad Units dengan jumlah tampilan Ad Units tersebut. Misal, satu Ad Units yg ditampilkan 40 kali dan di-klik 10 kali memiliki nilai CTR 25% (10:40).

Berapa nilai CTR yg ideal? Hal ini sulit ditentukan karena terpengaruh oleh banyak faktor, seperti sumber datangnya pengunjung, jumlah pengunjung, dan sebagainya. Untuk situs yg padat pengunjung misalnya, nilai CTR antara 8 - 10% sudah termasuk ideal.
CPC (Cost Per Click)

CPC adalah jumlah uang yg akan didapatkan oleh publisher apabila Ad Units tertentu di klik. Nilai CPC masing2 Ad Units berbeda dan ditentukan oleh banyak faktor, termasuk perfomance publisher dan kualitas situs milik publisher. Namun secara umum, nilai maksimal yg mungkin adalah 20% dari nilai bid dinamis yg ditawarkan pemasang iklan.
eCPM (Effective CPM)

eCPM atau CPM (Cost Per Million) adalah hasil pembagian antara jumlah pendapatan publisher dengan jumlah page impression (per 1000) yg ia dapatkan dari iklan2nya. Sebagai contoh, publisher yg menghasilkan $200 dari 50,000 impression akan memiliki nilai CPM sebesar $4 ($200/50).

Nilai eCPM pada umumnya tidak begitu bermanfaat bagi publisher. Namun publisher dapat secara garis besar melihat kesuksesan Channel / Ad Units-nya berdasarkan eCPM Channel atau Ad Units tersebut.

Aturan Penggunaan Google AdSense

2008-04-09T02:05:00.000-07:00

Tulisan berikut diambil dan diterjemahkan dari halaman Google AdSense Program Policies dengan tujuan untuk memudahkan publisher AdSense Indonesia untuk memahami dan mengerti aturan2 yg diterapkan oleh Google berkaitan dengan program Google AdSense mereka. Setiap pelanggaran aturan yg dilakukan oleh publisher, sekecil apapun, akan dapat menyebabkan keanggotaan AdSense mereka dihapus oleh Google.Sekedar informasi, artikel berikut ditulis berdasarkan update ketentuan Google AdSense Program Policies pada bulan Januari 2007.

Trik Optimalkan Keyword Pengunjung

2008-04-09T01:58:00.000-07:00

Salah satu poin yang tersirat dalam pokok bahasan pasang widget alexa.com adalah untuk melihat statistik blog seperti mengetahui type pengunjung seperti apa yang mampir ke blog kita. Informasi apa yang mereka cari bisa kita lihat dari keyword yang dipakai pengunjung dalam menemukan blog kita.

Muncul satu pertanyaan "untuk apa sebenarnya menetahui type pengunjung blog kita?". Tentu saja informasi ini sangat penting untuk diketahui, tujuannya informasi ini bisa digunakan untuk mengoptimalkan keyword-keyword tersebut. Nah inilah yang saya sebut "keyword pengunjung".

Diantara keyword pengunjung tersebut mungkin ada keyword yang menarik untuk kita angkat menjadi postingan, syukur-syukur bisa memancing backlink ke blog kita. :)

Memeriksa statistik blog perlu kita lakukan secara berkala, terutama buat blog yang masih "seumur jagung", bisa sekali seminggu atau sebulan sekali juga nggak jd masalah.

Anda akan merasa kaget melihat keyword yang tidak pernah terpikirkan sebelumnya (mis: tutorial blog), tugas selanjutnya kita tinggal mengoptimalkan keyword (tutorial blog) tersebut. Mis: membuatkan postingan secara khusus dengan keyword tutorial blog.

Berikut situs untuk melihat statistik blog:
1. Extremetracking
2. Alexa
2. Mybloglog

Pasang widget cantik milik MyBlogLog

2008-04-09T01:56:00.000-07:00

Salah satu cara meningkatkan traffic ke blog yaitu dengan mendaftarkan blog kesitus komunitas/direktori, misalnya mybloglog, technorati. Cukup banyak manfaat yang dapat kita peroleh setelah bergabung disitus sejenis ini, salah satunya meningkatnya traffic keblog, membangun komunitas sendiri, keuntungan lainnya kita bisa memanfaatkan fasilitas yang tersedia sebagai accesories buat blog kita.

Widget cantik ini hadir untuk mengganti widget "recent readers" sebelumnya dan sekaligus fitur terbarunya setelah widget "about me" kurang diminati, ini merupakan widget kedua yang dirilis mybloglog setelah bergabung dengan yahoo.
Berikut ini screenshootnya:

Ada sedikit perbedaan dengan widget "recent readers" sebelumnya, untuk grafik/desain jelas kalau widget "recent visitor" lebih cantik.

Untuk fasilitas juga lebih yahud, widget "recent visitor" ini memiliki fitur semacam "preview readers" bisa dilihat jika mouse melewati photo dan nama dari readers tersebut. Dengan fitur ini juga bisa lebih memudahkan kita untuk menambah langsung daftar contact/teman kita di mybloglog, bisa juga menampilkan profile dan list situs/blog readers tersebut.

Seperti biasanya kita juga bisa men setup dari widget "recent visitor" ini, lihat gambar disebelah kiri.

Keterangan gambar:

Style :
Ada dua pilihan yaitu one column (menampilkan widget hanya satu kolom saja) dan multiple column (menampilkan widget dua kolom, untuk kolom yang satu lagi berupa saya sebut "preview readers").

Color :
Semakin banyak warna berarti akan semakin mudah kita untuk menyesuaikan widget dengan blog kita, sampai saat ini ada 7 warna yang bisa kita pilih diantaranya: Hitam, Biru, Coklat, Hijau, Orange, Ungu, Merah.

Images :
Digunakan untuk mengatur tampilan photo widget (Normal, Small).

Flyout Orientation :
Jika widget "recent visitor" memakai 2 kolom, nah kita bisa setting apakah "preview readers" akan kita tampilkan atau tidak (pilih none), disebelah mana (left or right). Setelah saya coba pake 2 kolom ternyata agak sedikit berat pada saat menampilkan photonya, tapi kelihatan oke karena informasi readers jadi lebih lengkap.

Kita juga bisa menyesuaikan dengan ukuran widget pada blog kita dan jumlah photo readers yang akan ditampilkan antara 1 s/d 100.

Jika anda tertarik dan siap memasang widget cantik ini diblog anda, jangan lupa juga untuk memberi komentar di blog ini.

Kesalahan Dalam Teknik Optimasi dan Submission Blog

6 komentar - Post a comment

Kesalahan dalam teknik optimasi sering terjadi tanpa kita sadari, terutama bagi blogger yang masih baru (newbie seperti saya) menggeluti dunia blog & internet. Teknik optimasi ini bagai "pisau bermata dua", jika benar dalam menggunakannya akan berpengaruh baik buat blog tapi ketika salah menggunakan akan berakibat buruk buat page ranking blog, peringkat blog di search engine atau malah dianggap spam blog. Agar tidak terjadi kesalahan dalam menerapkan teknik seo tersebut berikut ini ada beberapa kesalahan dalam teknik submission dan optimasi blog yang perlu dihindari.

Penggunaan Keyword Yang Tidak Tepat

Akibat paling patal jika penggunaan keyword yang tidak tepat adalah search engine dan visitor tidak menemukan blog kita. Saya yakin siapapun tidak ingin hal ini menimpa blognya, anda jugakan? Nah, untuk menghindari hal itu lakukan riset keyword terhadap blog terlebih dahulu.

Nah, dalam mencari perbandingan nilai keyword kita dapat menggunakan beberapa tools yang tersedia di internet, ada yang gratis dan ada yang bayar, diantaranya:

Overture Keyword Selector Tool (Gratis):
http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
Overture selain menunjukkan persaingan keyword, dia juga menampilkan kombinasi frase-frase keyword terkait hal ini cocok untuk mencari "Niche Market"

Wordtracker: - tool bagus, tapi untuk versi gratisnya dia hanya menampilkan Search Result MSN,
http://www.wordtracker.com/

Google AdWords Keyword Tool:
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Tentu saja masih banyak lagi tools gratis yang bisa kita manfaatkan, kita hanya perlu googling aja untuk mencari tools yang lainnya.

Terlalu Banyak Keyword di dalam Tag Meta Keyword

Cukup banyak blogger yang salah kaprah yaitu dengan cara menaruh ratusan keyword di bagian tag meta keyword, dengan harapan akan mendapatkan peringkat yang tinggi untuk keyword tersebut di search engine.

Perlu juga kita ketahui search engine akan menganggap spam kalau keyword terlalu banyak di tag meta keyword. Akibatnya posisi yang kita harapkan masuk 10 peringkat tertinggi google, malah blog kita tidak tampil sama sekali di search engine.

Tips: buat keyword yang relevan dengan blog kita dan secukupnya misalnya: 25 keyword

Keyword yang Sama Terlalu Banyak

Search engine dapat mendeteksi blog dengan keyword yang berkali-kali memasukkan keyword yang sama dan search engine tidak akan mengindeks blog kita ke databasenya.
Jadi sebaiknya anda hindarkan keyword yang terlalu banyak dalam satu halaman situs kalaupun ada keyword yang kita posting haruslah mengandung makna secara tata bahasa.

Tips: Untuk keyword tertentu hendaknya tidak ditaruh 2 kali di dalam tag meta keyword.

Menggunakan Warna Teks yang Mirip dengan Warna Background

Teknik ini sering digunakan oleh webmaster untuk memperdaya situs pencari sekaligus membuat halaman web kaya akan keyword. Sangat sulit mengulang-ulang keyword yang sama untuk ditulis dalam suatu halaman web tanpa membuatnya kedengaran ganjil bagi pengunjung blog kita. Itulah sebabnya banyak yang menggunakan teknik ini agar tidak terlihat oleh pembaca.
Namun search engine sekarang dirancang untuk dapat mengenali teknik ini sehingga search engine tidak melakukan indexing terhadap blog kita. Search engine mengganggap blog seperti ini sebagai teknik curang, jadi sebaiknya anda hindari teknik curang ini karena tidak akan berhasil.

Cara Pasang Google AdSense

Apabila sudah diterima permohonan jadi publisher Google AdSense, maka sekarang tinggal memasang kode HTML-nya di blog Anda. Ingat, Google AdSense hanya keluar iklannya apabila blog kita menggunakan bahasa Inggris atau bahasa Eropa lain plus Mandarin, Jepang dan Korea, bukan bahasa Indonesia.

Kalau blog Anda bahasa Indonesia, cukup memasang google AdSense referral saja.

Proses pengambilan kode

1. Setelah login ke google.com/adsense, klik AdSense Setup.
2. Klik AdSense for Content;
3. Kasih tanda tik/cek di menu Ad Unit (biasanya sudah otomatis/by default), di bagian paling bawah klik menu CONTINUE;
4. Di menu FORMAT, ada menu kotak scrolldown, pilih format ukuran iklan yg akan Anda pasang. Contoh, pilih 200x200 Small Square, terus klik CONTINUE (di bagian paling bawah);
5. Klik lagi CONTINUE (bagian paling bawah);
6. Ada kode HTML/javascript di situ, copy/paste dan simpan di notepad;
7. Masukkan ke dalam template blog Anda.
8. SAVE dan REPUBLISH (untuk blogger lama); atau SAVE saja (untuk blogger baru).
9. Selesai.

Untuk Pasang Google AdSense di Blogger Baru dapat langsung login id-Adsense Anda via blog dan bisa dipasang di sidebar dan/atau di footer (tutorial lebih detil menyusul).

Tip:
1. *Umumnya ukuran 200x200 Small Square untuk ditaruh di Sidebar; sedangkan untuk ditaruh di tengah dekat artikel biasanya memakai ukuran 300x250 Medium Rectangle atau 250x250 Square.

2. Jumlah maksimum iklan yg dapat dipasang sebanyak tiga. Bila lebih dari tiga, maka iklan tsb tidak akan keluar. Contoh format-format ukuran AdSense bisa dilihat di sini.

Update:

AdSense Link Unit

Ada dua macam AdSense for Content (1) AdSense Ad Unit (2) AdSense Link Unit. Tutorial AdSense Ad Unit sudah disebut di atas. Sedang untuk mendapatkan kode AdSense Link Unit caranya sama dg AdSense Ad Unit, bedanya cuma di nomor 3, di sini kasih tanda tik/cek di menu "Link Unit", aturan selanjutnya sama dg prosedur Ad Unit.

Beda Ad Unit dan Link Unit

1. Apabila ada visitor yg mengklik Ad Unit, maka otomatis publisher yaitu Anda sendiri dibayar oleh Google; sedangkan kalau visitor mengklik Link Unit publisher tidak dibayar kecuali apabila visitor tsb. mengklik link berikutnya yakni link-link yg terdapat setelah visitor mengklik link di Link-Unit.
2. Batas Ad Unit yg dapat dipasang di halaman blog maksimum 3 (tiga), sedangkan Link Unit cuma satu.***
