PPC Advertising for Profit

PPC stands for Pay Per Click - a popular advertising technique on the Internet. Found on blogs, websites, advertising networks, and especially on search engines, PPC advertising involves sponsored links that are typically in the form of text ads. These are usually placed close to search results, where an advertiser pays a particular amount to visitors who click on these links or banners and land on the advertiser's web page. In essence, PPC advertising is all about bidding for the top or leading position on search engine results and listings. Advertisers do this by buying or bidding on keyword phrases that are relevant to their products or services - the higher the bid, the higher the spot on the search results, the more the people will find the ad (and click on it) to go to their websites (this is why some people call it "keyword auctioning"). Advertisers would then pay the bidding price every time a visitor clicks through the website.

PPC advertising is also known under the following names/variations:
• Pay per placement
• Pay per performance
• Pay per ranking
• Pay per position
• Cost per click (CPC)

PPC advertising is usually done with the following standard procedures:
1. Setting up an account and/or depositing funds.
2. Creating a keyword list.
3. Choosing (and setting up) an account with a PPC search engine.
4. Bidding on the ad placement, including the search result words or phrases.
5. Writing advertising copy.
6. Setting up the 'landing pages' for your ads.
7. Placing the advertisement in the search engine.

There are many benefits to Pay Per Click advertising, making it an effective way of promoting a business online. But without the right strategy you could easily waste your advertising budget by bidding too much or bidding on wrong keywords. Get this free guide to making a profit from Adwords:

If you are searching the internet considering Russian women as a way of meeting a potential partner, your search results will lead you to some well known russian dating, matchmaking and introduction agencies. You probably wonder to yourself whether they are honest. You need to understand that there is a big story behind the quest of 'Russian brides'. Who are these women seeking marriage abroad, what they are like and why are they looking abroad? Two things are most important. The majority are quite clear in seeking a potential partner, and say clearly that they want a husband who loves and understands them. Another important requirement you will see is for their future partner to be financially secure. This means a stable job and ability to provide for a family. This does not mean you need to be rich. Your wealth or very smart appearance may even be a hindrance in these situations. In some cases women do not try to pursue a relationship with a rich, good-looking man because they consider he may not prove to be a faithful husband in the longer term.

Adsense - Images or Text

I decided to test a couple of image ads on some of my blogs just over two weeks ago. Google is pushing this option quite hard and I think some of the banner ads are quite striking. But I found that they were not attracting a higher clickthrough rate, and were really making the pages look a bit too busy, so I am reverting to image ads.

Commenting on Blogs - the Etiquette

It is accepted that comments at other people's blogs can produce a surge of relevant visits to your own sites, but new bloggers are wary of being accused of 'spamming'. I find that on my dog's blog other bloggers - canine or otherwise - visit and leave friendly comments. On business oriented blogs poeple are a little more guarded in their views. If you work on Blogger, your comment will automatically include a link to your profile, however I find it easier of people include a direct link to their blog or site so that I can see it in one click. That's my view anyway.

Blog Advertising Opportunities

Good news recently for Bloggers is that Blogger sites are now eligible to display Text Link Ads link-selling program. Until now the only option for Blogger hosted users had been to sign up to the affiliate program and try and push new customers towards TLA.

The news that Text Link Ads is accepting Blogger users provides a useful complementary avenue of monetisation to anyone wanting to cover the costs of their blogging. Text Link Ads can be incorporated into a site displaying AdSense. text Link Ads work by delivering ads to websites with a similar theme. The ads are not contextual - they do not change to reflect the page content in the way AdSense does, so are not directly in competition with AdSense. The ads attract a flat monthly fee which is dependent on your site traffic, PageRank, Alexa ranking and number of inbound links. They are not pay per click, so the publisher can be confident of receiving payment every month that a TLA ad appears on their site. TLA pays monthly by PayPal at the beginning of every month. Of course we'll get a referral bonus when you sign up,, but we're not trying to hide that!

Adsense Image Ads

I am testing out Google's Image ads format on a couple of my sites. The wisdom on Adsense was generally to blend the ad units, however Google is now seeking spots for image display ads and video formats. I am trying the images in a niche where I was plagued with low paying MFA (made for Adsense) ads, it will be interesting to see if there is an improvement.

Blogging for Beginners

I was pleased to get a message over at Kevin the Collie's Blog from Peter, who had noticed that a hyperlink in Kev's profile was blending into the background. The font was defined in the stylesheet and I had given up trying to change the colour as Blogger does not always make these things easy. But Peter, whose site is called 'Blogger for Dummies' patiently explained a simple way to change the font - even this dummy managed to do it. Thanks again, Peter.

Adsense Ads and Images

Here is the guidance on placing images next to Adsense Ads, straight from Google:
Can I place small images next to my Google ads?
We ask that publishers not line up images and ads in a way that suggests a relationship between the images and the ads. If your visitors believe that the images and the ads are directly associated, or that the advertiser is offering the exact item found in the neighboring image, they may click the ad expecting to find something that isn't actually being offered. That's not a good experience for users or advertisers.

Publishers should also be careful to avoid similar implementations that people could find misleading. For instance, if your site contains a directory of Flash games, you should not format the ads to mimic the game descriptions.

What if I place a space or a line between my images and my ads? Would that work?
No. If the ads and the images appear to be associated, inserting a small space or a line between the images and ads will not make the implementation compliant.

Organic Web Traffic

The most popular route for visitors to arrive at a website is via a search engine: most online shoppers have decided what they are looking for before they arrive at the site, and of these the majority use search engines yo find their target sites. Most surfers will not look past the first two pages of search engine results, so a site looking for organic search engine traffic needs top placement on the major search engines. This is achieved via search engine optimization. USWeb offers natural search optimization services, designed to get your Website noticed by potential buyers who are looking for the products and services you have to offer. This is done by targeting the major Internet search engines to direct interested prospects to your site - the specific customers who are looking for your products and/or services.

Finding High Paying Adsense Ads

I just read an interesting little post including some of the more unusual high paying keywords, such as tax lawyers - an we all need one of those, unless we are consolidation loan students. There was a useful link to the Adwords keywords tool as well.

I noticed also that the author shares my concern over some aspects of the new Blogger system. Formerly I could have just reproduced his post here using the 'blog this' command but I can no longer get that to work.

Avoiding Low Paying Adsense Clicks

One of the biggest challenges for Webmasters and Bloggers publishing Adsense ads is how to avoid low paying ads. It is hard enough designing the page and placing the ads in optimum positions within the terms of service. Then when you see the Adsense reports, you will often find that the clicks paid as little as $0.03 each. Google offers a competitive ad filter where you can enter up to 200 domain names to avoid, but checking up on the low paying 'Made For Adsense' sites can be time-consuming. There is some good news on the horizon for publishers, since Google is looking at the feasibility of allowing publishers to name negative advertising keywords and avoid those completely. This will not solve the low paying ads problem of itself but it will be another positive development. If you would like to be kept up to date with developments you can sign up here for your own regular ezine updates.

Drivers Guide

A range of safe driving literature, predominantly aimed at young drivers, has seen the recent addition of a volume on the subject of how to drive when passing close to trucks, lorries or other heavy goods vehicles. The authors found that qualified drivers were often less confident close to large vehicles, as they have little understanding of the technical differences between cars and lorries. The safety guide points out the danger of driving in the blind spot of a heavy vehicle, the need to allow extra space when passing a large vehicle and leave a larger gap when passing in front, since trucks and lorries cannot brake as quickly as cars. The publishers of the Teens and Trucks guide will also provide free car insurance quotes.

Adlink Boxes to Multiply Your Adsense Income

After its first year of operation Google did a lot of work to improve its service - when I logged on to the Adsense site at that time, the first thing I saw was a copy of the new Terms of Service (TOS). I read through it, and clicked to accept the new terms and conditions. On my account page I found two welcome sights: a new type of Advertisement format and, even better, a simpler payment method..

The new ‘Ad Links’ boxes are not just the usual contextual ads: they offer site-targeted topics for a visitor can click to see a list of related advertisements. This format gives access to dozens of advertisements rather than four or five in the standard unit, increasing your earning possibilities - an exciting and potentially beneficial development for all concerned. You may display one Ad Link box on a page.

The most positive and sensible change in the new terms was the facility to pay publishers in their local currency. This makes the lives of non-US Adsense publishers - like me - much simpler. Not only can you choose payment in Sterling, Euros, Indian Rupees, Turkish Lira or any of 43 local currencies, but you can also have the funds transferred electronically to your bank.

The changes Google has made to AdSense are positive, and the timing is interesting. The announcement coincided with Yahoo rolling out the next phase of its own contextual Ad service, Yahoo publisher. Healthy competition is always a good thing, and perhaps Yahoo's new service may even spur Google into providing the much-needed improved ad tracking facilities for publishers...
