Making money on adsense, fact or fiction?
By: Hege Crowton
Results can not be guaranteed, of course, since a lot of your success lies in your own hands.
Then again I would not have written this if I did not believe in the power of Google AdSense.
A lot of webmasters are making a lot of money off of AdSense, and there is no reason you should not be one of them.
The amount of money you can make with Google AdSense mainly depends on what user needs your website fills. For instance, a site about women's issues can make some serious bucks on AdSense because of the high level of competition for related keywords.
The CPC (cost per click) is the amount you get paid every time a user clicks on one of those ad banners. CPC rates for competitive keywords can be more than $1, which translates directly to your site's earning potential within the program.
The average runs in the range of $4-$5 CPM. Some people are making an effective CPM of $15 or more with AdSense. Best of all this is after Google takes its commission.
To learn all you need in regards to making money with AdSense I highly recommend the book that thought me everything:
"Building Your Own Adsense Empire." This is a very well written book.

Adsense, Boost Your Payout by over 400%. Yes Really!
How?
Dead easy.
I implemented this tactic myself recently on one of my sites and my CTR has gone up 300% and it hasn't been 24hrs yet. Needless to say I'll be spending sometime making changes to my Adsense ads across my network of sites.
What is it?
Sorry, can't resist a little intrigue.
It's very simple. Using the Adsense Leaderboard banner 728 x 90 I added small images/photos above each ad at 140 x 100. These photos are broadly related to the ads and draw the eye of the visitor to the ad. Which the ad alone maybe would not do. Once the eye is drawn your visitor will be much more likely to read the ad text below the image and in turn they'll be more inclined to click.Google already knows of this tactic and I know a number of people have approached them via email before implementing the images. Obviously nobody wants their account suspended. The good news is Google are fine with it, for now at least. Although a few warnings have gone out with regard to animated images not being appropriate. So no Flash or animated gifs!You can view this in action on one of my sites -http://www.how-to-make-money-online.info
You can't fail to see it at the top of the page.
Now I hope this is new information to you. If so I know it's going to be damn useful. :)
And most of all profitable!The benefit of this over Google's own Adsense 'image ads' is that you choose the image for one and the basic text ad appeals for another. As I'm sure you are aware text ads work better than image ads. Combining them together in this way seems to work btter than either one of them would alone.
There's also a major boost in the fact that you are able to select the most relevant image for your site content and current adsense ads.

How to create a sitemap
How to create a sitemap
A sitemap of a website is similar to the table of contents of a book.
Sitemaps are important because it guides web surfers to the particular part of the website they have a point of interest in.
With it they would save time following links and get right to the point instead.
Sitemaps are also where search engines look at if somebody is looking for a particular keyword or phrase. If you have a site map, you can most likely be searched.
Creating a sitemap, now with software technology surging in, is relatively easier than before. You need not be a programming guru to be one. All need is a notepad, a program editor, and some patience.
Here’s how you do it:
Create the listing on a notepad.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be a notepad. Any word processing program will do. First off, make sure to type in all the parts and pieces of your website.
Include all pages and all links you have.
Create it as if you listing the contents of your book. Make a draft first.
You’re sure no to miss something out this way.
Create a new page for your sitemap.
You can insert the sitemap on your website on one of its pages or you can create an entirely different page for it.
Using your notepad, incorporate all tags necessary to it to make another webpage.
Open up your website creator program and tag your sitemap using it.
If you have created your website on your own, this will be easy for you.
Create a link for the sitemap.
You won’t be able to view the sitemap if you won’t put a link for it, of course.
Create the link on the front page of your website so that visitors can view it right away and be directed appropriately.
Check your work.
It is important to validate the functionality of the links you created on the sitemap. Test each and every one in there and if you get an error, be sure to fix it accurately. Run through every single page to make sure that all are accounted for.
Upload your work.
Place the sitemap now on your live browser and double check it. It should function as smoothly as the dry run. Error should be minimal at this stage since you already have verified it locally.
The steps provided herewith is the manual way of creating a sitemap. These days, if you search hard enough on the web, you will find online programs that will do all these work for you. All you have to do it type in the URL or the link of your website and they will create the sitemap with click of a button.
Of course that method is generic. All of you who have created their sitemap that way will have an end product that is all the same, plus there’s that possibility that something else will be inserted in there too. Then again, the process is less taxing and way, way simpler.
But if you want a more personalized output, and you are pretty good with computers and programming yourself, better make one of your own. And since you made your website anyway, creating sitemap is just like creating any other page on the website. Other than you’ll know for sure the links are accurate, you can organize the links the way you prefer it to be. Major parts of the site are emphasized compared to less significant. This is important especially if you are selling products or offering services online.
Sitemap is vital to a website. People search the web a lot for something. If your website has what that particular person is looking for, and your sitemap reports it, then you have a new customer looking at your items. Not only that, they will see some other things up for sale that they might be interested in as well.
Sitemaps, be it generated by a program automatically or you made it yourself, presents the same purpose. That is to lead your visitors to where they’re likely headed, and for you to be seen on the World Wide Web through search spiders.
So with these, make sure your website has a sitemap of its own, lest make one.
Thanks
