Tips To Turbo-Charge Your Google Adwords

4 Quick and Easy Insider Tips To Turbo-Charge Your Google Adwords’ Sales

Uncover little-known Google Adwords strategies you can implement moments from now to boost your response. While most advertisers continue to waste their money, you're implementing techniques savvy advertisers are using to rake-in more sales and leads!

4 Quick and Easy Insider Tips To Turbo-Charge Your Google Adwords' Sales!

By Sir Alex Franks Willime

If you want to boost your clickthrough rates and slash your advertising costs moments from now, then pay close attention.

Because you're about to uncover 4 surefire techniques to dominate your Adwords' listings… practically wiping-out your competition at the same time.

Best of all, they're quick and easy to apply.  

Let's get started:

1. Experiment with dynamic headlines - Dynamic headlines replace your normal ad headline with what the searcher types in.  

So, if the searcher types, “Furniture”, this appears in the headline.  

And if the searcher types in a search phrase that can't fit, such as “Affordable quality furniture,” then it reverts back to your default headline.

.  

Use it by inputting, “{KeyWord:Quality Furniture}” in the headline portion of your ad.  “Quality Furniture” is your default headline.

Also, note that the “K” and “W” are capitalized in “KeyWord”.  This means that the first letter in each search phrased is capitalized.  For instance, “Fun Furniture,” instead of “Fun furniture” (if you had “Keyword”).

Dynamic headlines almost always significantly boost clickthrough rates.  But, they also sometimes reduce the quality traffic you get.

You should experiment with dynamic headlines.  If you find that an Ad Group is producing low-quality traffic, then you would toss the dynamic headline… and add a qualifier instead. 

Some examples of a qualifier are to add a price to your ad, using the words “For serious customers only”, “buy now”, or to use words that call-out targeted customers to click on your ad.

Also, try adding words around the dynamic headline, such as, “Unique {Keyword:Furniture}”.  This works best in Ad Groups with only a few keywords.

2. Test ad positions - because the highest one isn't always the best. 

Keep in mind, the number 1 position usually produces the MOST traffic.  However, it does not always produce the BEST quality traffic.

Instead, you can continually adjust your bids (based on several days data) to target lower positions instead.  Depending on your market, you may target position three or four.

Remember, many bidders daily budgets cut off their campaigns near the end of the day.  This means you get their top positions for a fraction of the cost!

3. How to use site selection correctly - The site selection option allows advertisers to place their ads on specific content sites.

It is a completely different animal than search traffic.  And varies from normal content ads.

Because instead of paying per click, you're paying for impressions (or how many times your ad is seen).  This can be a lifesaver for some businesses and a waste of money for others.

It depends on the market.  Some markets produce terrible results with search traffic.  But, are great for selected sites. Why?

Well, usually it's because a market is in its infancy.  And your target market is NOT searching for what your have to offer.  

Instead, the only way they can be reached is in their communities.  You must go to them.  These communities might be blogs, discussion forums, or news sites. 

An example, might be a tool that creates video blogs.

Very few people are looking to do this.  But, LOT'S of normal blog publishers may easily be convinced that this is something they need to be doing.

The bottom line is… if you get good results with search traffic, then you probably want to pay per click for your content advertising.  The only exception is if you have a killer ad (that generates lots of clicks).  Because it will be cheaper to pay for impressions.

4. Put your best performing text ad on your banner.  

Most advertisers either stick only with text ads.  Or they use ineffective banner ads.  These are costly mistakes.  The smart way to do it is to find a very effective text ad.  

Then, put it on your banner ad.  You will find that these normally out-perform your text ads.  And will be your most profitable.  Images may say a thousands words, but it's the right words that close more sales!

"When an advertiser who signed up for Google AdWords through your referral

spends $5.00 (in addition to the $5.00 sign-up fee) within 90 days of sign-up,

you will be credited with $5.00. When that same advertiser spends $100.00

within 90 days of sign-up, you will be credited with an additional $40.00. If,

in any 180-day period, you refer 20 advertisers who each spend more than

$100.00 within 90 days of their respective sign-ups, you will be awarded a

$600.00 bonus."

"When a publisher who signed up for Google AdSense through your referral earns

$5.00 within 180 days of sign-up, you will be credited with $5.00. When that

same publisher earns $100.00 within 180 days of sign-up and is eligible for

payout, you will be credited with an additional $250.00. If, in any 180 day

period, you refer 25 publishers who each earn more than $100.00 and are all

eligible for payout, you will be awarded a $2,000.00 bonus."

3 Ways You Can Generate Cash Using Google Adsense

In many webmaster forums, you are likely to come across this question: "How can I make money with Google Adsense?" Google Adsense is arguably the most popular pay-per-click advertising program today. Many webmasters are earning considerable money by displaying Google Adsense on their sites.

Yes, it is very possible to make money with Google Adsense. There are several effective and proven ways you can do this. The best part is that they are not complicated ways; they are in fact very simple and easy to implement. Of course, exactly how much you make from Google Adsense largely depends on how much effort you put into your sites. Don't fall into believing that you can make money from Google Adsense overnight. Like other types of work, you need to spend time as well as have the commitment and perseverance.

With all that said, you will learn three effective ways you can generate cash with Google Adsense -- through niche sites, forums and blogs.

Niche Sites: Targeted Market Equals Targeted and Higher Adsense Clicks

The word "niche" is today's buzz word. A niche is a specific market you want to focus on. If you are in the antique business, exactly what kind of antique do you deal with? Are you in the antique furniture business? antique dolls? antique cars? That's your niche.

Niche websites are sites that are focused on very specific markets or audience. Instead of a broad category, you narrow down into a target market or audience. For instance, a guitar website can be further made specific and focus on Fender Stratocaster guitars. People who are into Fender Stratocaster guitars are your target audience. Google Adsense ads that appear on this particular niche website appeal to your target audience and visitors. By being specific, you can generate higher clicks to your Google Adsense, which translate to higher Google Adsense earnings.

If you want to maximize your Google Adsense earnings, put up several niche websites instead of one website devoted to a broad category or topic. Instead of putting up a website about cars, put up several small websites focused on car repairs, care restoration, antique cars and such. By narrowing down your website's focus, you can attract targeted visitors who are likely to click on your Google Adsense ads.

Forums: Placing Google Adsense Ads that Stand Out

Do you run a highly active forum or online discussion board? If your forum receives a lot of traffic and has many members who regularly participate in online discussions, you can monetize your forum pages by inserting Google Adsense in them. While forum users are known to be "ad blind", you can insert Google Adsense codes smartly.

For instance, you can make your Google Adsense ads stand out by using very bright colors. On niche sites, it is recommended that your Google Adsense ads blend in with the site. In online forums, however, you can make money with Google Adsense by making the ads stand out. You can also make Google Adsense appear after a certain number of posts. Many forum owners have discovered that Google Adsense ads placed at the bottom of the last post on every page generates a lot of clicks.

Blogs: Easy to Monetize with Google Adsense

Today, many are able to establish an online presence and have their voices heard. They do this by creating and maintaining their own blogs. In the last two years alone, literally hundreds of thousands of blogs have cropped up. Blog software like Wordpress and blog networks like Blogger make it easy for anyone, even the least techie, to set up his or her own blog and make money from it. There are bloggers who are reportedly making four-, five- and six-figure yearly income just by placing Google Adsense on their blogs.

Since Blogger is owned by Google, people with blogs on Blogger can easily integrate Google Adsense into their account. Even if you don't have an account with Blogger, you can still make money displaying Google Adsense ads on Wordpress-powered blogs hosted on your server or third-party host. Blog software like Wordpress have Google Adsense plugins. This means you can easily insert Google Adsense ad codes in your blog posts with just a click of a button.

To make the most out of your Google Adsense ads, it is recommended that you place a Google Adsense unit after each of your blog posts. If you are posting a long article, consider placing a Google Adsense unite in the middle of the article. And if you technically inclined (or you aren't afraid of a challenge), you can insert Google Adsense codes into your blog template. Do it this way and your Google Adsense ads will display on all your blog pages.

There you have it -- three ways you can generate cash from Google Adsense. Niche sites, forums and blogs are only three of the many ways you can make money from Google Adsense. If you are new online, start with a blog. Create an account on Blogger.com and test out the waters. As you become comfortable and acquire more technical skills, you can advance to creating niche sites and starting your own online forums and monetizing with Google Adsense.

$1 Million in Google AdSense Earnings

Google AdSense Earnings

They are calling him the million dollar man. Jason Calacanis recently revealed in his blog that he is on track to earn a million dollars from AdSense over the year ahead.


They are calling him the million dollar man. Jason Calacanis recently revealed in his blog that he is on track to earn a million dollars from AdSense over the year ahead.

And if that number doesn’t wake you up and have you sitting on the edge of your seat, consider for a moment that he reached this level in less than a year. His company only started using AdSense in September 2004.

Calacanis runs Weblogs Inc., a network dedicated to creating trade weblogs across niche industries. And he’s quickly proven that AdSense is a credible advertising partner.

As their network has grown, so has their AdSense revenue. In January 2005 they earned an average of $580 per day. In March it was $737. In May it was $1,585. One day in July, just before he made the blog entry referred to above, they earned $2,335. Remember that is just for one day.  If they can take that daily average to $2,740 they’ll be earning a rate of $1 million for a year. And Calacanis predicts that reaching daily earnings of $3,000 or even $5,000 is quite achievable.

That’s quite an achievement. Keep in mind that Calacanis has 103 bloggers on the payroll and nine staffers. Even so, many webmasters would give an arm or a leg to have even a third of that.

Google’s AdSense has been revolutionary. It has become firmly established as the darling of the online advertising industry. Although rumors are heard of major competitors launching a similar service, AdSense’s premier position seems secure for now.

In essence, AdSense has made it possible for almost anyone with a web site or blog to earn some revenue from advertising, without having to employ sales people or spend precious time searching for advertisers.

AdSense works like this. Webmasters sign up for an account in just a few minutes. They receive a small snippet of code to include on their web pages. Google will then automatically serve advertisements that are relevant to the content on the webmaster's pages. When someone visits the webmaster's site and clicks on one of Google's AdSense advertisements, the webmaster earns a fee. Advertisers can pay anywhere from five cents to a hundred dollars per click, and the webmaster receives a percentage of that fee.

Many webmasters are content with earning five to ten dollars from AdSense to cover the cost of web hosting. But many, unsurprising, have higher ambitions. At a popular WebmasterWorld forum, participants share tips and encouragement on reaching a goal of $300 per day from AdSense. So it is no wonder that Calacanis created quite a buzz when he made his million dollar blog entry.

Google have proven once again that they excel at designing innovative Internet services. If you are in the web industry and have not yet used AdSense, then perhaps you should try it out. Or if you are already using it, perhaps Calacanis’ impressive results will encourage you to track the performance of your AdSense units more closely, fine tune their positions and formats, and take your earnings to a new level.

10 Tip Pilih Tablet

Pergerakan dunia yang seiring perkembangan teknologi pesat memungkinkan kebanyakan anggota masyarakat memiliki pelbagai gajet khususnya tablet, malah ramai percaya gajet itu sebagai tanda pendedahan yang luas penggunaan perkakasan teknologi masa kini.

Ramai yang obses kepada tablet dan tidak mahu ketinggalan memilikinya manakala beberapa pembuat tablet cuba membuktikan model masing-masing yang dipertontonkan bagi mendapat tempat di kalangan pengguna.

Pengeluar terbesar secara teknikal datang daripada kumpulan Samsung, syarikat yang bertanggungjawab memulakan perlumbaan menghasilkan tablet pelbagai bersaiz besar menerusi disusuli Apple, ASUS, Microsoft dan sebagainya.

Antara tablet popular pula yang menampilkan skrin pertengahan atau besar termasuk iPad, Galaxy Tab dan Surface yang mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya paparan definisi tinggi penuh.

Namun dengan lambakan tablet di pasaran, pastinya memeningkan kepala anda untuk memilih tablet yang terbaik untuk anda?

Mungkin ada sedikit tip yang boleh anda fikirkan dan kaji sebelum membeli tablet.

Bajet

Soalan yang sukar dijawab namun jika anda perlu memikirkan soal poket dan masih mahukan tablet, lebih baik jika membeli jenama yang berharga sekitar RM500 ke bawah namun perlu bersedia dengan beberapa kekurangan fungsi.

Anda perlu ingat, lebih murah, kurang pula spesifikasinya jadi bersedia untuk memperoleh tablet dengan saiz, pemprosesan dan kualiti skrin yang tidak seberapa.

Kalau anda bersedia untuk bekerjasama dengan syarikat telekomunikasi, anda boleh mendapatkan tablet yang disediakan dengan subsidi namun terikat pula bersama kontrak sekitar satu hingga dua tahun.

Bezanya, kalau anda bersedia menerima subsidi, tempoh kontrak sehingga satu hingga dua tahun sedikit membebankan tetapi anda boleh jimat hingga 40 peratus berbanding membelinya secara langsung dari kedai.

Berat dan ketebalan

Pada kebiasaannya, tablet dianggarkan mempunyai berat sekitar 700g atau kurang manakala tahap nipisnya mampu menjang­kau hingga 8.0mm yang mana purata pengeluar menghasilkan sekitar 7.0mm saja.

Saiz yang bersesuaian untuk anda pastinya bergantung kepada tahap genggaman individu. Pastikan anda membeli tablet yang ringan dan boleh dimuatkan poket atau beg tangan tanpa mendatangkan masalah.

Berat dan ketebalannya mungkin agak subjektif tetapi jika anda memegang tablet anda untuk tempoh masa yang lama atau dalam satu tangan, anda pasti akan perasan tablet lebih berat selepas beberapa ketika.

Skrin

Antara faktor penentu dalam pembelian termasuk saiz skrin yang perlu dipertimbangkan apabila membuat keputusan membeli tablet terbaik untuk anda.

Terdapat dua saiz biasa iaitu tujuh inci dan 10 inci. Kalau anda individu yang mempunyai mata yang baik, tujuh inci sudah cukup.

Pada kebiasaan pengeluar tablet masa kini, format saiz skrin 1280 x 800 piksel mungkin format minimum.

Selain itu, ia turut berkait rapat dengan keselesaan anda memegangnya memandangkan perbezaan tiga inci sekalipun ada perbezaan ketara.

Pemprosesan

Boleh dikatakan, semua tablet berdasarkan teknologi pemproses ARM sama seperti hampir keseluruhan pemprosesan dalam telefon mudah alih.

Syarikat pengeluar menghasilkan versi mereka sendiri selain reka bentuk cip ARM dan kebanyakannya menawarkan kelajuan sekurang-kurangnya Dual Core bagi memproses data.

Sebaik-baiknya, pilih ciri di atas memandangkan ia akan mengoperasikan aplikasi dan grafik anda dengan lebih baik.

Kalau ikutkan kelajuan pemprosesnya, sila pilih tablet yang mempunyai kelajuan minimum 1.2GHZ.

Kamera

Pengeluar membangunkan kamera depan untuk fungsi panggilan video membolehkan anda menggunakan Skype atau aplikasi seperti Google Talk.

Fungsi kamera belakang pula sudah diketahui sebagai merakam foto atau video seperti telefon mudah alih, namun kebanyakan kamera tablet pada masa kini belum memiliki lensa kamera yang baik.

Namun begitu, terdapat kamera tablet mampu mengambil video definisi tinggi 720p, jadi periksa sama ada fungsi ini penting untuk anda atau tidak.

3G atau WiFi saja?

Semua tablet menyokong WiFi membolehkan anda menyambungkannya ke rangkaian rumah anda atau ketika berada di kafe atau pejabat anda.

Walau bagaimanapun, tablet datang dalam dua versi. Jika anda mahukan 3G, ia membolehkan anda menempatkan kad SIM mudah alih yang memuatkan rangkaian Internet dan menggunakannya ketika bergerak.

Versi 3G lebih mahal dan anda juga perlu berdaftar dengan syarikat telekomunikasi yang ditetapkan secara kontrak.

Berita baik apabila kebanyakan kedai menawarkan tablet pada kadar subsidi seperti yang mereka lakukan dengan telefon pintar.

Kalau anda menggunakan tablet dengan 3G, biasanya langganan Internet sebulan dianggarkan dalam sekitar RM30 hingga RM250.

Periksa tabiat penggunaannya, kalau anda kerap berada di kawasan yang mempunyai liputan WiFi, tidak perlu membeli tablet dengan 3G.

Aplikasi

Apple App Store mempunyai aplikasi yang paling banyak setakat ini dengan lebih 700,000 aplikasi kini boleh didapati manakala Android mengejar hampir dari belakang.

Lain-lain sistem operasi (OS) mungkin jauh ketinggalan namun pastikan aplikasi yang anda mahukan bersesuaian dengan keperluan anda.

Sambung ke TV anda?

Berapa banyak simpanan yang anda perlukan bergantung kepada apa yang anda mahu gunakan dengan tablet.

Saiz 16GB lebih daripada mencukupi untuk menyimpan beban muzik dan gambar tetapi aplikasi besar dan video HD memerlukan memori yang lebih banyak.

Jika anda tidak menyimpan banyak muzik atau video, saiz yang lebih kecil mungkin bersesuaian.

iPad tidak mempunyai slot kad memori tetapi banyak tablet lain mempunyai slot microSD/microSDHC, jadi anda boleh mengembangkan simpanan.
