Giving Away the Empire!

October 10, 2006 | Leave a Comment

Today was the launch of Joel Comm’s new Instant Adsense Templates VRE Empire package. http://terryscomputertips.com/IAT

VRE is short for Virtual Real Estate — a.k.a. web sites for making money on the web.

So, I went to look at it out of curiosity. I bought the earlier release of IAT and was happy, and I just knew that I didn’t need this one…

Boy, was I surprised. This guy just kept piling on the features and more features, and then started adding bonuses, too! He’s setting a new “high” in quality and content and a “low” in prices for a package like this.
http://terryscomputertips.com/IAT

150 Niche Topics — HTML templates, WordPress templates, XSitePro templates, HyperVRE templates and phpBB forum templates for them all. Adsense integrated into all of them!

Plus 50 pre-built niche web sites. Oh, yeah — and private label content, too, so you don’t have to have author bio blocks with links leading off your site!

Plus, the graphics files in JPG and Photoshop formats. Plus 400 Private Label Articles, already formatted in three formats: plain text, HTML file and HyperVRE format.

Ebooks. List building information and 10 squeeze pages! 10 private lable reports that you can use, give away or sell — with matching graphics.

Who needs web traffic? The package includes three books on how to get more traffic to your site. Not enough? How about another 2 as a bonus?

Software — the CB Text Ads Generator package so you can embed Clickbank affiliate ads in your articles with ease. And, several more packages, too.

15 Tutorial videos!

When I saw what was in the package — and what I’d get as bonuses, too — I gave in pretty quickly. This deal was too good to miss…

Couldn’t find a reason not to buy, especially at that price.

And, that brings up a very important point — this is a limited quantity offer — and the price is going up $25 per day. Look quick and get it quick. If you’re interested in a web-based income, this can be a huge opportunity for you.

And, a bunch of other bonuses, including a copy of Joel’s “What Google Never Told You About Making Money With Adsense.” I’ve bought the 1st, 2nd and 3rd editions of it — it’s been that good and improved that much with each edition. And, it’s included as a package bonus.

http://terryscomputertips.com/IAT

Enough of that — the price goes up $25 per day for the next few days.

ON THE OTHER HAND, when the limit is reached, it comes off the market.

His earlier Instant Adsense Templates package sold out in only 36 Hours!
Check it out now… I did … I thought I didn’t want it — but I did, when I saw it. The package was just too good and the price couldn’t be beat.

Recent Changes to Google’s Adsense

October 2, 2006 | Leave a Comment

Google has been working hard to make its Adwords program more effective for advertisers. First, it offered them a choice of whether to put their ads on search results, on related web pages, or both.

Advertisers also got the option (turned off by default) to bid different maximum amounts for clicks on search results than clicks on web sites.

Recently, Google put a couple more nails in the coffin of the “Adsense site.”

First, they’ve been working diligently to identify the sites that it doesn’t believe are appropriate for its search results — by examining both electronically and personal examination, especially sites with high-income key words. Another thing for which they are looking are sites that display different results to the search engines than they do to visitors.

When Google finds what it considers to be junk, that is, sites that are there for income generation rather than providing real information to visitors, Google has a tendency to de-index the site. It does the same thing with sites that use “black hat” techniques like displaying different results to search engines than real visitors. Google justs remove the site and all its pages from their indexes. And the site owner’s income plumets.

Recently, they applied a couple of slaps against Internet marketers of different types.

The most prominent of these, at least the one that has been mentioned the most, has been the use of Google’s evaluation of the ad’s landing page in order to set the minimum bids for the ads. This means that, if you submit an Adwords ad, Google will look at the target web page — and use it to decide what minimum you’ll have to pay to have it show in search results.

The second was related. If the target page was a squeeze page, the price skyrocketed. What’s a squeeze page? It’s one of the latest marketing techniques — you have to give your email address in order to get to the real content. Then, the marketer can use it for emails to you.

The change that has been almost ignored was another major hit to many of their Adwords customers. These customers paid for ads to send visitors to web sites that sold products.

In this case, these customers were “affiliate marketers” — that is, they would receive a commission on the sale, if one occurred. Google now requires that advertisers have their own landing page. Google prohibited the use of redirected URLs in Adwords advertising.

Before this step, you didn’t even have to have your own web site to make money with Google ads. Now, your ad has to feed the visitor to your landing page, and then you hope they’ll click on the link to go to the retail site. Of course, this was combined with the examination of the landing page for price purposes.

This last hit, this real hit against affiliate marketing, is a problem for both small adverrtisers and small businesses who exist through having affiliates pay to market their products. After all, the small businesses get free advertising (paid by the affiliates) and only have to pay a commission for actual sales.

A Look at Google and Adsense

September 27, 2006 | Leave a Comment

There’s a lot of noise (oops, that’s say “discussion” and “rants”) in the internet marketing world right now. The recent ebooks “Adsense Is Dead” and “Adsense Is Alive” take the opposite ends of the spectrum in their premise.

What’s behind it all?

Google, home of the number one search engine, first made its money by putting individual text ads on its search results. Like Yahoo before it, Google made some good money that way — and is still making a bundle. Google calls its “pay-per-click” program for advertisers Adwords.

As an extension of that advertising system, and extending the functions of its web search functions, too, Google started a related program called Adsense for web site publishers. Some are making a bundle. Some were making a bundle. Therein lies the rub…

As you might imagine, some people made big bucks by creating web sites with results scraped from search engines, just to get sites with lots of words (and maybe nonsense sentences) so that Google would find them and index them. Of course, the name of the game was to focus those web sites on high-paying keywords — words like “mesothelioma” whose advertisers would pay Google upwards of $50 PER CLICK. When Google shared the income, that meant big dollars.

Of course, that gravy train couldn’t last. The advertisers wanted their dollars to be more effective in generating income for them, not for generated site operators.

Yet, web site publishers with real content are still making money with Adsense.

I use Google’s Adsense ads on my sites. And, I use AdsenseGold to give me much better, more detailed information on web page views and clicks than Google’s Adsense reporting and my web stats program give me.

Adsense Isn’t Dead!

September 25, 2006 | 2 Comments

There’s a great flurry going around about Adsense being dead.

Why? One guy wrote a give-away book called Adsense Is Dead. His “empire” crumbled when Google finetuned its search indexing system recently and decided that his sites didn’t meet their needs.
Well, Adsense might be dead, if you’re using generated sites, with data scraped from other sites. Or, just creating directory index sites by extracting data from Google, Yahoo, etc

But, the search engines love real content. Original content. Modified content. Edited content. Commentary. All the things that real visitors would like to read at your site — and that will bring them back again, too.

Adsense guru Joel Comm has written a free report called Adsense Is Alive that debunks the naysayer’s complaints.

Make Money with Error Pages

September 21, 2006 | Leave a Comment

Have you ever visited a website, but typed in the wrong url after the domain name? What did you see?

Chances are you saw a generic page that said something like, “The page cannot be displayed,” or “Not Found,” or “The requested URL was not found on this server.”

This is what is more commonly known as the 404 Error Page. It’s the page that shows up by default when someone ‘accidentally’ types in the address of the page they are looking for on your site incorrectly.

Now, in many cases, it truly happens by mistake. However, in many other instances, people end up on this page because they are snooping around trying to look for your download page or thank you page without having to pay or opt-in. Kind of shady, but people do it.

Why, not capitalize on it whether they are doing it purposely or they are truly ending up there by accident. If you have your own website and it gets traffic, some of your visitors are ending up on that page. Now, if they are seeing the generic message that their browser shows them when it happens, then you are not making good use of your web real estate.

404Secrets

Every page of your website can put money in your pocket. Even your 404 error page. You can customize that page just like any other page on your website.

Some ideas to utilize on that page include:

-Making an special offer at a discounted price.
-Having it be a squeeze page.
-Making it an Adsense page.
-Redirecting it to a related affiliate product.

Those are just a few of the many different, yet profitable types of ways you can make good use of your 404 error page.

It won’t make you rich, but it definitely will put some extra money in your account. Maybe it will help you pay one of your bills, or you can just reinvest it into your
business.

Either way, if you don’t customize this page, you can be leaving money on the table. Having something for your visitors to see that end up on that page is extremely more beneficial to you then not having anything on that page.

Here’s to making good use of every page on your website.
