"Do You Do Adsense Work?"

I got this in my email today and here is my reply:

Do I do Adsense work? The answer is yes. However it will depend on the type of adsense work you are looking for. Adsense publishers are posting about a decrease in their adsense earnings and a lot of them think that it has to do with the new way that Adsense is basing their ads. The adsense ads are more based on interest than on the content of one's adsense site.

So let me know what kind of adsense work you are talking about?

Adsense has changed a lot. I have been taking a survey of some my sites with adsense ads on them and I have noticed that the ads are based on the site that I came from and not necessarily on the content of the site that I am visiting.

That really changes things as far as adsense earnings go and a lot of adsense publishers are posting that their adsense numbers are way down.

Of course this doesn't seem to apply to all of the adsense publishers because some have posted that their adsense earning numbers are the same or have even increased!

"I'm Interested In Your (High-Paying) Keywords List......"

I got the following comment to one of my blog posts about high-paying keywords:

"I'm interested with your keywords the high paying ones...how much are you asking for it?"

Then the person who sent me this comment left their email address for me to contact them.

If you look to the right of this blog you will see that I am selling the high-paying keyword list for $55 and you can make your payment via Paypal.

This list includes at least 20 high-paying keywords that have a minimum Adsense cpm rate of at least $10 - some as much as $20 or more! There may also be the occassional keyword that has a cpm rate of $40 or more! (I once had a cpm rate of over $1,000 but unfortunately I don't know what keyword triggered that cpm rate! )

Where Can I Find "High-Paying" Keywords?

Here is a copy of a recent email I got:

Hello Ms. sister2brother,

Thanks for responding to my question in the AdSense blog. I have a couple more questions if you don't mind.

Here is what you wrote:

"You may want to concentrate more on the content of your site. The reason why you are getting such low cpm is because the content of your site is only appealing to low-paying advertisers.

Work on incorporating higher-paying keywords into the content of your site.

There have been times when my cpm rate has reached $1000! Too bad I didn't know what keyword(s) triggered that becuae I would be using it all the time! - LOL!"

How do i find out which Keywords that pay more, and are somewhat associated with my subject matter without buying some "so callled" keyword list?

This is a very good question and I glad that you asked it!

Just like a good many other things you should be able to find lots of sites online that purport to have lists of keywords that pay more in adsense money.

The reason that I myself have a high-paying keyword list is because I have been to countless sites online and have been able to pick them up and implement them on my and my clients' sites.

The answer is really very simple - If you don't want to pay for a "so-called list, then why don't you just find the information yourself?

One Of The Most Frequently Asked Questions Seems To Be.......

Why do I have clicks but no earnings?

The most basic answer to this is that if you are getting clicks but no earnings then that means that Adsense is counting those clicks as invalid!

Another, more remote, possibility is that the ads that have been clicked are public service ads of which you don't get paid for.

One of the main reasons why public service ads may be appearing on your site is that the adsense spiders can't find any content on your site that would appeal to advertisers.

How Do I Paste The Adsense Ads On My Blog?

This could get kind of complicated because first we don't know if you
are using Blogger's newest layout or their old one.

If you're using their newest layout then you can let Blogger.com add
the adsense ads (after you give them permission to do so) for you at
either the bottom of your blog posts or by adding a new gadget /
widget on the side of your blog.

However if you are using Blogger's older version then it gets a little
more complicated in that first you have to decide where you want to
place the ads. After you decide then it's a matter of copying and
pasting your adsense ads in the RIGHT place on your blog's template.

What Are PSA's?

PSA's stand for public service announcements - and they are ads for things like donating to charity, helping disaster victims and so on. You don't get paid for these kinds of ads and like the other poster said they usually appear when the adsense "spiders" can't find any content on your site that is attractive to advertisers.

Help! Trying To Add Adsense Ads To My Blog Posts?

What kind of "editing" are you trying to do to your template?

If you are using Blogger.com's newest layout / add page elements then adding the adsense ads between your blog posts is relatively simple to do.

However if you are still working with Blogger.com's older layout where you have to add the adsense coding yourself then it becomes a little bit more complicated. - however it can be done.

Here is a link to a blog (Rose's blog) that still uses Blogger.com's older layout where you have to copy and paste the adsense code in yourself - whether it be for the blog posts or for the side of your blog.

Oh and I should mention that if you want to add adsense ads to your blog posts using Blogger.com's older layout, then you should know that you don't get the option to place the ads at incremental blog posts - you can only have the option to post the ads under EVERY post!

is an example of a blog that has added the adsense ads under each blog post using Blogger.com's older layout.

"I Can't Get The Adsense Ads To Show On My Site"

People are posting many, many times about how they can't get the adsense ads to show on their site. Here is one of my replies to this often posted problem:


Even though your post is more than a few days old hopefully you have found a solution by now but if not............

You have to copy and paste the ad codes into your site and if the ads are not showing then the #1 reason (adsense says) is because people are not copying and pasting the codes in right.

We don't know the html (or url) of your website and we don't know where you are pasting the code so we wouldn't know whether or not you are placing it in the wrong place and as a matter of fact we don't even know if you copied the ad code correctly?

It is not an easy question to answer especially if the person that needs help doesn't even provide a link to their site. It is as if they are expecting a magic to somehow reach into their computer and wave their magic wand so that the adsense ads "magically show up.

It ain't gonna happen that way!

How Do You Earn Money With Adsense?

I saw this question posted and thought that the answer would be obvious but maybe to some it's not. So here is my explanation:

You earn money with adsense when you put the adsense ads on your website or blog. When people visit your website or blog and click on the ads then you get paid!

How much you get paid varies too many ways to even try to attempt to explain it. What you should do is once you have your adsense account you should keep checking it to see how you adsense ads are doing. Once you have done that for a while you will start to see how the earnings "part" works and then you can concentrate on making more money with your adsense ads.

You have to earn at least a minimum of $100 during the month and when you do you get paid the next month - usually around the 25th! If you don't make the $100 during the month then your total earnings will roll over into the next month and so on until you do reach $100.

You can get your adsense payment by regular check, bank transfer and for some areas you can get your payment via Western Union. So far you can not get your adsense payment via your Paypal account - although a lot of people would like to get it that way its not an option yet.

Here is a link to a blog post that I made about how much money some people have been making with adsense.

"I'm Getting A Lot Of Page Impressions But Nobody Is Clicking On My Ads! - Why?"

Unfortunately if you are not getting "clicks" on your adsense ads - that just means that you have to work harder on the content that is appearing on your site.

Getting visitors to click on your ads ain't easy!

Although I find it hard to believe that you are getting so many page impressions but no clicks. It could have a lot to do with the ads not matching the content on your site but that really isn't adsense's fault - as much as I hate to say it the fault lies on your end.

You can't just expect to have a website or blog with adsense ads on it and automatically expect that people will click on the ads!

There have been quite a few postings about specific ways that people can optimize their potential for making more adsense money but to make it brief:

Think of your site as an instruction manual - whatever it is that your site is talking about (Its subject matter or topic) if people are more interested in it the more the potential for them to click on the ads that are relevent to your site - thus the more potential for you to make more adsense monies.

You can read my blog posts about how I'm tracking how long it takes me to get to the $100 minimum (that's the minimum amount that you need to earn during the month to get an adsense payment the next month) each month

BTW - For this month of March 2008 I did recently get to that $100 minimum! And I still have the rest of the month to go yet!
