Best integration of Adsense

How to make the best integration with Blogger

We’ll do like we have done with the Digg button.
The best position we’ll be in the right-top. Bottom can be less attractive and has less chance if the reader doesn’t complete reading the whole article.

Choice of colours

Take sometime to choice your colours. This is very important. It can be good to immerge your ads with the post content them. But also having a highlighted colour may attract more attention.
Take a look at www.howtosuccesswithblogging.blogspot.com to see how I have optimized colours.

Most paying Keywords

Don’t get interested, some sites will tell you that you can earn huge money if you use keywords.
That’s not true and good. Adsense will choice the best ads for your site so don’t abuse your blog with keywords: This won’t help you!

In the end

I wish you get your blog ready with Adsense and content. You’ll need several weeks so that your account generates earnings. Then when you accumulate 50 $, Google will send you a verification mail to check your location and after having 100 $. The check will arrive.
Deposing it at bank may take some days so be patient.

Getting started with Adsense

You’ll first need to have some knowledge about Adsense. On the web you’ll find those words heavily used. Let’s explain them together.

Page Impressions
When somebody goes to your website and loads a page in their web browser, Google counts that as one “page impression”. In another meaning it’s the same as hit and not visits, because if a visitor loads a page many times this will be counted so! So basically a page impression is just how many of your pages were looked at by people.
Page CTR
CTR stands for “click through rate”. It’s expressed as a percentage of the page impressions that resulted in somebody clicking one of the Adsense ads. So, for example, if you had 1,000 page impressions, and those 1,000 page impressions resulted in 100 clicks on the ads, that is a 10% Page CTR
(100/1000 = 10%).
Page eCPM
eCPM stands for “effective cost per Millie”. “Millie” means thousand. CPM is what the old world of banner advertisements used in pricing their ads. If a site had a $10 CPM that meant that you as an advertiser would pay $10 for every 1,000 page impressions that your ad was shown on.
With Adsense, eCPM is telling you how much you are earning (or will earn), on average, for every 1,000 page impressions. If you have a $25 eCPM, that means you are earning (or will earn) $25 in clicks for every 1,000 page impressions on your site.
Google shows you this figure so you can get an idea of how much more they are paying you than a banner advertising network will pay you.
EPC
You won’t see the term EPC in your Google Adsense reports, but you’ll hear it a lot if you hang out on Adsense forums. EPC stands for “earnings per click”, and just means how much you earn for each click.
Channels
By default, all of your page impressions and clicks are dropped into one giant bucket. By default, you have no way of knowing how much each individual site earned (if you have multiple sites), or how much each individual page earned, etc. “Channels” are Google’s way of letting you break down your earnings into “sections” so you can analyze each website or each page independently to see where the money is coming from. Google only lets you have 200 channels, which is pretty lousy if you have a lot of sites or a very large site.
AdLinks (or Ad Units)
AdLinks, or Ad Units, are just another type of Adsense ad. The basic AdSense ad is a block of links with short descriptions that when a visitor clicks, you get paid. Ad Links are a little different. They show linked topics that are related to your page, and when people click on those they are then taken to a different page and presented with a list of ads. If they decide to click on one of those ads, you get paid. You can see what AdLinks look like by visiting Google’s “Ad Formats” page. It shows all of the available ad formats, including Ad Links:
https://www.google.com/adsense/adformats
Ad Filter
Sometimes Google might decide to show ads on your page that aren’t really related to your page content at all. When that happens, you have the option of going into your AdSense account and adding those sites to your Ad Filter.
Google will not show ads from any site that you put in your Ad Filter. Also, if your competitor’s ads show up on your pages, that’s another reason to use your Ad Filter.

Creating an Adsense account

After making your blog, optimizing it and driving the necessary traffic we can apply for Adsense. Google (If you have done my steps) won’t refuse to create an account for you.
Redirect to http://google.com/adsense and click apply

You’ll need to wait until Google sends to you and inform you that your request was accepted. If so, it will send you an e-mail to continue (or make) the sign up. Make sure you enter the right information, because changing them in the future will be some what hard (For security reasons).

Integrating Adsense

This is the final step, it's earning money. So be careful!

Creating an Adsense account
Getting started with Adsense
Best integration with Adsense

Drive traffic and visitors

Before attending this step make sure you have 35 complete articles and you have optimized your blog as I mentioned in the previous chapter.
Then let’s go step by step. Make sure this part will need at least one month to be totally completed.

Make sure all search engines include your site

This is the first step. We don’t need to check out that web pages had been indexed but only that the search engine had accepted your link. After some days (let say 2 week) type your URL for example ‘http://www.howtosuccesswithblogging.blogspot.com’ and click the search button. If the search engine shows no result so you have to submit again your site.
Normally, Blogger automatically submit you to the 3 big search engines (Google, Yahoo and MSN). Don’t care for the other search engines as they are just portals.

Be the first to submit your stories to Digg

Don’t wait until your visitors submit your story and Digg it! Digg your story yourself to encourage the others doing it.

Submit your site to sites like reedit

Plus of Digg there’s other sites, but forward only a small amount of traffic. But they are helpful like Reddit.com and new.ycombinator.com. You can submit your site to those sites

Submit to the majority of blog directories

Don’t forget to submit your blog where you can. (But don’t use paid submission because this won’t make you earn anything).
This is a list of Blog Directory:

This is a very long list; choose only some to send to.

Write post describing your blog at forums

Browse forums or web groups like Google Groups and make posts describing your forum. Try to use attractive titles and content to attract more visitors and make more clicks. But remember not to spam the forums. Try to find forums that accept ads.

Send e-mail to your friends

There’s no site that give e-mails for free, hehe. So you have to search them your self at forums, spaces... Try not to spam but friendly send an e-mail. This will help you also make a good number of visitors.

Use My-Space, Face book and other sites

Those sites receive huge number of visitors (millions per day). Make an account and friends and link your blog to your site page. People browsing your page may redirect to your site.
This will also improve your page rank.

Make at least 100 comments in the right way

Don’t spam when commenting so the blog master won’t delete your comment. Try to find what to say in relation with the post topic. Comment gives you plenty of traffic if they are on good blogs. There are blog that reward their commentator like Jackbook.com.

Write at wikipedia but don’t spam

Wikipedia receive million of visitors daily. But how to get from this one? Ok first do a search or a project and make a long article. Then create an account at Wikipedia. After that, post your search on Wikipedia. Create a link to your original site.
After some weeks Wikipedia will start forwarding traffic.

Hubpages is also useful

After making your blog and publishing your articles, take some of your time to repost them on Hubpages.com. Hubpages isn’t only for traffic but also we’ll share earning with you. So don’t forget to setup your AdSense account on it and activate it.

Make a small e-book

Exactly like I have done.
A small e-book where you write on it your experience about a field. Try to find where to put it, so people can download and read it. Make it in the PDF format, so there’s no problem with different platforms.

Buy a domain name

Domain name can be important, especially if your blog start to grow and make considerable earnings.
People sometimes prefer domain names for sub-domains sites.

Addition of the digg button to blogger

Why did I make so much importance for Digg while I can include it with the
Add this social book marking button?

First Digg isn’t like other book marking site: Digg is the largest, most popular
and famous.

Second, the Digg button will allow you not only to submit your post but also to
increase the number of dugs so it will become more popular.

Now let me show you how to add this button. The idea is simple and if you
understand it you’ll be able to add any script or text you like.

Direct to the ‘Edit HTML’ page. Now check the ‘Expand widget templates’
checkbox. You’ll notice that the text become so long, don’t worry you don’t have
to understand it!

Now let’s make a search in this text. Search for
‘<p><data:post.body></data:post.body></p>’ then simply replace it with

‘<p>

<!--My Digg Button -->

</p><div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;">

<script type="text/javascript"><br />digg_url = '<data:post.url/>';<br
/></script>

<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</div>

<data:post.body>

</data:post.body><p></p>’

Save the template and get a look at your blog, the Digg button shows, no?
