A week ago I
sent a request to set up my google AdSense acount. I filled out the form on the
google site and waited for the answer. Every day I checked the mail... nothing.
Then finely a week later I got the answer - we are sorry to
inform you that you... blublublu... well, I was rejected. Yet, I Was happy to
at least get the e-mail. And they told me what was the problem - material. I
used pic from the net, and other stuff that had copyrights on them.
So I changed everything - just got rid of it. I didn't care
- my goal was to see if it worked.
I sent the request back and got the answer the same day -
approved. Yeah!!! Now I got something.
I logged in and looked around. Very simple. All I had to do
was to generate the type of ad I wanted and place the code into my site.
Yola.com has a special gadget that lets you put the code directly where you
want it.
The next page that came up asked me to attach a
channel to the ad.
Channel???
What the hell is a channel in an ad? Well its for
your use and in the future - for your partners. You can attach ads to one or a
couple of channels making it easer for you to track their performance.
In other words - you group up your ads and then compare
which group does the best job.
MyTip: Just make the groups by page. And on the Blog page - which is the
main one for me, make groups for top, side and bottom ads. This way you'll have
a pretty good picture of your ads performance.
Done with channels. Now I'm placing the ad on my
page. Well, I waited more then 10 minutes when my first ad came up. I guess the
bot must see what is on the page to created the accurate content.
After 30 minutes I put the "Ads by
Google" where I wanted it to be.
MyTip: Don't put too much ads - it really won't matter, but it will look
too massy. And try using the "Link Unit" as a top menu - it looks
quite nice.
Now I got my Ads set up yet the account show no money. Of
course, what did I expect - millions to flow. I needed traffic to make me
wealthy.
But the first day actually earned me $12,13. I was glad it
worked.
MyTip: Don't click the ads by yourself. Your IP is always monitored. If
they notice something strange - they will ban you for life. Don't be stupid -
you want be able to make money like that.
