Google AdSense is really a great money making program for webmasters. Before the existence of AdSense program. Making money online used to be very difficult. You will need to have a high quality product, possess advanced Internet marketing skills and be willing to invest a sum of money for setting up professional sale website and launching advertising different campaigns. You either make big money because of you product is selling well or make little that not even enough for covering your cost if the product doesn't sell.

The launched of Google AdSense changed everything. People have more choices when thinking about making money online. They no longer have to sell products on the Internet in order to earn income online. With Google AdSense program, they can become an AdSense publisher and earn ad revenue by displaying AdSense ads on their content-based website.

The Basic of Google AdSense
The concept is pretty simple. You put up a website with good content, insert your AdSense ads into your content site, and then drive targeted traffic to your website. Part of your visitors who finish reading your content will read your AdSense ad and click on it. For each ad click, you usually earn anywhere between $0.10 to $0.60 depends on the niche of your site. Those publishers who gain large traffic have earned thousands or even ten thousands dollar of AdSense revenue.

Some publishers use one or two websites to make money with AdSense, some have their own networks containing a lot of websites displaying AdSense ads which make them lucrative AdSense revenue.

Why You Shouldn’t Focus on Many Websites
As an individual publisher, it is always best to focus on using only one or two websites for AdSense program. While building a network of websites such as building fifteen content websites in different niches seem to be a great idea to earn money with AdSense. The idea assumes that you can generate $3 to $5 AdSense revenue from each site daily making a daily total of $45 to $75 AdSense income if you own fifteen website. But, practically it is very hard to succeed this way.

To make AdSense works for you, each of your sites must have quality unique content. With 15 sites, it is not possible to create unique and good content for each site by you alone. Getting help from the professional writers seems to be a good solution. But those who can write quality content are often expensive to hire. You will have a lot of writer fee to pay before you earn a single dime from AdSense.

Another problem with this idea is the website-promotion part. To make each of the websites earns AdSense income; you must be able to drive a reasonable amount of targeted traffic to each site every day. With so many content sites you maintained, you will never have enough time and energy to generate consistent traffic to your all the sites. As you aren't staying focus, you could get tire and bored easily which end up none of the sites generate revenue for you.

The publishers who really make a big money with a network of websites are those who are serious about web publishing. They have a group of experts to help him/her to create unique quality content, handle web design and do AdSense optimization with sufficient financial resources to back their plan.

The part 1 of this article has focused on explaining the downsides of building many websites to make big money with AdSense. Now this part 2 will answer the question of how many website to build for AdSense and give you the practical tips that will help you effectively make money with AdSense using the content website(s) you have built.

It is suggested that you start with only one content website. The website should focus on topics that you love. You'll know what to write when the topic is of your interest and the content created will offer value to your visitors since you are writing on your favorite topic that you probably have great knowledge in it.

With loads of unique and useful content published on your website, it will attract both the attention of search engines and your targeted visitors. Your quality content can delight your visitors and they may then want to check out your AdSense ads. And another thing, other webmasters who found your good articles and content will want to link to you. This is really a good help in increasing your search engine rankings and traffic.

AdSense Optimization the Right Way
Some proper optimizations are needed when implementing AdSense ads on your site. Certain locations of your website shouldn't be placed with Adsense ads like the header and footer of your website. AdSense click-through rate is proven to be very low in these two locations. The good location for displaying AdSense ads is within the content area. You have a few choices. The first one is inserting your AdSense into the top left or top right of your content. The second way is by adding your AdSense just the end of your content. Take some time to test these two locations. I'm sure you get some good result with AdSense.

There are several AdSense ad formats you can choose for placing on your content. The one that always performs well is the Large Rectangle AdSense ad format. So, it is recommended that you should this ad format. Other settings like the bolder and background of your Ad unit, you should match them with the background of your content pages. If the background of your content pages is white, then you should set your AdSense unit white as well. This is an effective way to increase your AdSense click-through rate.

Targeted Traffic is Gold
The formula to succeed in AdSense is:

Good Content + Effective AdSense Optimization + Consistent Targeted Traffic = Long Term AdSense Income

So, if the targeted traffic is missing, nothing will work. Driving targeted traffic to your website is the toughest challenge to you. You must spend a great deal of time to learn and master the different techniques of traffic-generation. And then put what you learn into action.

SEO is a powerful technique for generating targeted traffic. If you can use it effectively, then you probably will enjoy high AdSense click-through rate and nice steady revenue. But SEO work is tedious and you wouldn't see the result until you waited about three months or more. You need to be patient and thinking positive.

While waiting for the SEO result, you may use the content network advertising like Bidvertiser.com which can send you targeted traffic daily for a cost. Other options such as social media marketing, blog comment posting and guest post on other blogs are worth consider as well because they are traffic-generation techniques that wouldn't cost you a dime.

Once you have got consistent traffic with the techniques you use. You will need to keep on repeat on what you are doing so that your traffic and Adsense income can be maintained and grow from time to time.

Backend marketing is a form of marketing method that involves the use of strategies and tactics to sell additional products or services to your existing list of customers.

In this rapid changing and competitive e-commerce industry, it is important that you don't neglect the backend marketing if you have an e-commerce website built to make money online. The backend marketing can avoid you being taking over by your competitors.

Below are some reasons that why backend marketing is important and necessary.

Easier to Close Sales
The marketing estimate shows that the success of selling to a old customer is 8 times higher that selling to a new customer. So, it means convincing an old customer to buy from you is far easier.

Thus, backend marketing is really a powerful technique to grow your online business and increase your profit. You should care about your old customers. Whenever you launch a new product and the product is highly relevant to your existing product, it is always best to start with these older customers as many of them have already bought and used your product before and were satisfied with the purchase. They are more likely and willing to try your new products as they are familiar with your brand and confident on you.

Fast Profit
You can potentially crank out a nice and quick profit from marketing a backend product to your existing customers. The trick is to offering them a good discount. This method has been widely used by the Internet marketing gurus when they are releasing a new product. Giving them a limited time discount will simply make your offer irresistible.

If offering rebate doesn't seem to be suitable to your marketing plan, then you may consider offering bonus products. This also can trigger the buying interest of your existing customers because they will get more for paying the same price.

Minimal Cost and Effort
Selling to your existing or old customers not just easier but also the save a lot marketing cost and effort. Imagine you want to convince a visitor to become your customer, it will cost you money in advertising to get the visitor to visit your e-commerce site and then invite the visitor to subscribe your newsletter so that you can get his/her email contact and follow up with them. You got to put in effort to write quality newsletters and email copies to get a sale from your newsletter subscribers.

With a list of existing customers, you can just inform them by email of your new interesting offer and the happy old customers may immediately buy the new product after reading your new offer. There is only little marketing cost in the process and it involves less time and works to reach your product to your potential buyers.

Conclusion
Since you can make second, third or even fourth sales from your first time customers, a backend marketing system or strategy is really necessary. Your backend marketing strategy may focus on developing new product specifically for your old customers. Your old customers have other need needs and wants. So, you may create new product to meet this needs or to provide a new solution to a problem.

Every website and blog are different in term of content, design and structure. However, when it comes to optimizing Google AdSense ads, most of the web publishers and bloggers apply the similar techniques. They have learned and realized that the best location for displaying AdSense ads on their site or blog is probably within the content area. So, they went ahead and placed their AdSense ad units into their content area.

But the result is, no everyone enjoy high click through rate with the similar AdSense optimization technique. Those who have got nice click through rates and made a good AdSense income, congratulation to you! But, for those publishers who still get a poor AdSense performance after implementing the same technique, what is the reason?

Below are a few of the possible reasons why your AdSense site or blog doesn't performance as you expected.

You don't actually get real targeted traffic
When you have generated a lot of traffic to your site but still make tiny little money from AdSense, you will need to look into your traffic. Review your traffic stat to find out where most of your traffic come from. The traffic sources like search engines, off-line marketing, link bait, PPC contextual advertising and video marketing (your links are mentions in different websites and blogs) generally will provide you targeted traffic. If your traffic is from these sources mostly, then traffic probably isn't the reason why your AdSense site didn't perform.

Article marketing also send targeted traffic, but it usually don't work well for Adsense according to my experience.

Other traffic sources like social bookmarking, forum posting and blog commenting can also give you consistent amount of traffic but the problem is these sources often don't send your real targeted traffic. Most of these traffic may be just are those competitors or the friendly web publishers of your niche. The competitors want to know what you are up to and the friendly web publishers want to see the design of your site, your content or make friend with you. These types of visitors seldom convert into AdSense revenue. So, you might need to change your web promotion plan if you face these situations.

However, if you are one of the leading experts in a particular niche, then social bookmarking and forum traffic may be excellent to you. Those web publishers of your niche who directed from social media sites and forums to your site will choose to listen to you than turning themselves to be your competitors because your voice has strong influence in the niche. But, in this case, AdSense still doesn’t work. The best way to make money is to offer them your quality product or service.

The first potential reason why your AdSense site or blog doesn't work is because you are lacking of targeted traffic. This reason has been discussed in part 1 of this article. For those who haven't read part 1, please click here.

There are a few more possible reasons and you will find them in this article.

Your web design or blog template doesn't suit for AdSense
From my two years experience in AdSense, I found that the design of your website or blog has a lot to do with your AdSense performance. A poor designed website will of course make your AdSense performance bad, but, even with a advanced high tech website, AdSense probably still wouldn't work on it because it look too good, making the visitors don't want to leave the site.

Let's start with the layout of your website, both two column and three column layouts can be used for AdSense. But for good performance, if you are using two columns, the sidebar should be on the left and the content section on the right. If you are using three column, the traditional three column are still the best which is both the left and and right columns are a sidebar and the middle column between the left and right is for content.

Your site must have a header with a compelling logo included if possible. The look and feel of your site need to be professional, clean and neat. Adding some beautiful images and photos can make thing even better, but too many can draw your visitors’ attention away from your Adsense ads. For the navigation section the sidebar of your site, I would suggest you not using buttons; instead you should use simple text links for your navigation area. Make the color of your navigation links match your website.

Your site is displaying low content relevant Google ads frequently
This is one of the possible reasons as the AdSense ads that attract your visitors are those ads that are highly relevant to your content. One easiest way to get a quick understanding on the ad relevancy of your content pages is by visiting your site yourself. Browse every web page to see what ads show up in your AdSense units. If you still quite a number of low relevant ads show up, this might be one of the reasons pulling your AdSense revenue down.

You can then record down the urls of all the low relevant ads and use the Google AdSense Filter tool to stop these ads appear on your content pages.

Another way to find these low relevant ads is by using an AdSense preview tool. What the tool can do for you is it can give a list of AdSense ads that will potentially appear on each single web page. All you need to do is entering the main keyword or urls of each of your pages into the tool. From the AdSense ads list you generated, you may find some low relevant ads that you can filter out.

Other possible reasons for poor AdSense performance

You opted for image ads when generate AdSense ad code - Part of the time, image ads will show up on your content pages. This isn't help actually. Firstly image ads are proven to be low click-through rate and secondly Google seems like has far lesser image ad inventory compared with text ad inventory, so you might be getting irrelevant images showing up on your pages.

You don't place enough AdSense ad units in your content pages - A lot of web publishers put only one AdSense ad unit with their article content. But, from what I learned from the experts, we can actually have two AdSense ad units placed within an article. The first unit place on the top left of the article body content just below the article title but align with the first sentence of the body content. And another AdSense unit display on just below the end of the content. And then you may also make use of Adsense link ads. Place one AdSense link ad unit on the navigation section of each of your web pages, match it well with your navigation links and you will earn extra revenue from the AdSense link ads.

Low traffic - This one you may have known it when you find you AdSense revenue little.

Keeping long term clients is important to your freelance business because not only they will continue to use your service, they will also refer you to other people.

To keep your existing clients doing business with you again and gain, there are a few things you must do:

1) Make yourself easily contacted by your clients. Let them know your home and cell phone so that they can easily and quickly contact you. You may take a day off every week, so tell them also when you aren’t available. This can make your clients feel safer and convenient because they know they can reach you easily should any problem arise.

2) Provide quality service. The quality of your work or service plays a very important role in getting your customers coming back to you, I'm sure you have known about this. Good service and work quality make your clients feel satisfied. They are happy with you and probably will put you in their first consideration whenever they need help again.

Especially meeting deadline, some customers may request you to complete their project quickly. Only accept the project if you are confident that you can meet their tight deadline. Failure to deliver what you promise could result lost of confidence and trust of your customers on you causing you lose these clients permanently.

If possible, give them more they bargained for.

As I have mentioned in the part 1 of this article, your existing clients are like a goldmine to you. Treat them well and they will continue to use your freelance service whenever they need it. 3 tips have been posted in part 1 for turning your existing clients into long-term clients so that you can earn residual income from them. And here are 7 more tips in part 2:

Never promise what you can't do. When your clients contact you informing you that they have got another job for you. It is nice to hear that. But, sometimes they might ask you do something that is too hard for you or something that you don't know how to do. In this situation, it is better to tell them honestly instead of taking the job and later hire someone to do it for you because this might negatively affect your service quality and your ability to meet deadline.

Keep your clients informed on the latest progress of your project. Some clients may worry about how the project is doing or whether it can be done by deadline. So, it is necessary to keep them updated about the project.

Try to establish an open communication. Building good relationship between you and your clients heavily relies on communication. When you clients first meet you or contact your through email or phone, there is where you begin to communicate with your clients. Be opened and professional in the conversation; listen to them well and answer their questions accurately and accordingly. If the client prefers to communicate through email, be sure that you are able to write good and professional email message with sufficient details included.

This strong open and professional communication not just needed in the first conversation or communication with your clients, but it must be maintained constantly in order to build up good relationship with your clients.

Back up your works. After you completed the project and deliver it to your clients. They will review it and sometimes they may request a revision to the project. As you have done back up, you will have a copy of the previous finished project available immediately to you to do revision. At the end, you can send the revised project to your client efficiently.

Anticipate the need of your customers. This will help you taking care of any difficulty and problem arise during the completion of the project.

Make sure both you and your clients are clear about all the aspects of the project. You as a service provider need to read carefully the project details and instructions so that you understand thoroughly what need to be done. For your clients, make sure they know clearly how long the project will take you and what your charge will be.

Occasionally run a promotional or discount campaign can be a great idea. This may help you get more sales from your existing clients. And for those previous clients who have not used your service for long time, probably they have forgotten you. With a promotional email sends to them, you can remind them that they have used your freelance service before and encourage them to do business with you again.

Here are the helpful material I found this week:

After you have successfully setup your eBay business and started to make some money from the eBay auctions, it is a wise idea to keep on reading and learning about eBay selling as much as you can.

There are a few big mistakes that you might be making when doing business on eBay. That can cause you a lost. But, these mistakes aren’t difficult to correct if you know what they are. Below are some samples:

Setting Wrong Timing for Your Auction
The time that most people have a few hours of free time to spend is Sunday evening. Researches show that this is the most popular time for going online and purchasing on the Internet. So, if the timing of your auction has been set to miss Sunday evening, then you could be losing a lot of good sales.

Ignoring the Importance of Photos
If you think the item photo has not much help in your eBay selling, you could be losing many buyers. The eBay buyers often want to see how the item looks like before bidding it. So, it is necessary that you take 2 to 3 photos in different angles for every item, letting the potential buyers see totally your item.

Poor quality of the photos is another mistake. eBay does give advice about the types of photos that work best. For example, the photos need to be in plain background so that the products can be appeared clearly and eliminate confusion on what actually you are selling. Clear photos that show up your products well will certainly attract more and higher bids.

Over Formatting Your Sale Text and Descriptions
Putting too much animation, eye-catching color text and other distractions in your sale description isn't a good idea. This attempt was actually to get the customers' attention and bids. But, it results the opposite way. It provides great distraction and causes the sale message and details difficult to read. If a potential eBay buyer has clicked on your auction, you already have got their attention. The details and description should be clear, easy and simple to read with the aim to get the viewers' bid.

Setting a Reserve Price may be a Bad Idea
Placing a reserve price on your item can scared off your potential eBay buyers. Many of the potential buyers will not place a bid on the listings that have a reserve price because they worry that they are going to pay a lot money if they win the auction. So, it is better not to set a reserve price on your listed item. Low starting bid price is encouraged to get the maximum bids.

Mistakes cause you lose money. But once you have learned and found out what you are doing wrong, you can deal with them easily.

It has been over two years I used AdSense on this blog to make money online. I still remember when I first applied to become a Google AdSense Publisher; I was actually rejected by Google. I got approval only on the second application after I done some changes to the site that I used it to apply AdSense.

And recently my friend started an anti-virus blog, I helped him to send an application to Google for opening an AdSense publisher account and he got his AdSense account approved within 10 hours.

With these experiences, I think I can share some info helpful for you to get your AdSense account approved smoothly and start earning online with AdSense

Getting an AdSense account to approve isn't difficult actually if you know clearly their program policies. Once you have set up your site or blog with content added in, you can read the Google AdSense policies here to see whether your site or blog comply with each of their rules and terms. There is also a set of webmaster guidelines you must adhere as an AdSense publisher.

After reading all Google AdSense program policies and their webmaster guidelines, if it seems that your site or blog doesn't against anything, you may fill out the AdSense sign form to send your application to Google.

There are actually quite a lot to read in Google AdSense policies and Google's webmaster quality guidelines. You may not be able to understand all of them. Checking each rule and guideline take time. So, if you don't have the time to understand totally their policies and guidelines; and making sure you comply everything, here are a few quick tips for you:

Site should be Information-Rich
As Google AdSense program is targeted for content-based website. Your site needs to have a reasonable amount of content. The content must be original and family-friendly. Don't use reprinted articles which already been published on other sites as Google AdSense team will not like it. If it is a blog you are going to use to apply for AdSense, make sure it has at least 5 original posts before applying.

Proper Website Design and Structure
2 column and 3 column layout are best for AdSense content-based website. The site has a clear navigation section for visitors. The navigation text links should be simple and arrange in a manner that easy for users to browse your web pages.

A site map is suggested although it isn't necessary. Do some on-page SEO optimization. Especially the title tag and meta description tag, they should be clearly and accurately describing what your website is about and with your primary keywords included.

Three Don't Do
- Don’t set your site to show pop and pop-up, pop-under when visitors browse your site.
- Don’t create pages with spyware, viruses or adware.
- No hidden text and hidden links in your website.

In the case that your application was rejected by Google AdSense team, Google will reply you with a reason for rejection. Read the reason carefully and review your website. Find the area that against AdSense policies, change it or remove it then reply. You will get the approval if you done the modification accordingly.

The quality free website tracking tool, Google Analytics is now integrated with AdSense. This function started to roll out by Google last week. It will soon be available to all the AdSense publishers.

Integrating your AdSense account with a new or existing Analytics account will allow you to get access to more in-depth data so that you can make better decision on improving your AdSense performance.

A great feature that I think it will effectively help publishers to make more money from AdSense is the 'Referring sites' report. It will tell you what source of traffic that earns you the most AdSense revenue. By knowing the sources of traffic that work well with AdSense, you can concentrate on getting the traffic from those sources and see your AdSense income goes up from time to time.

I think this feature is going to be very useful to web publishers especially those bloggers who get lot of traffic and done proper AdSense optimization but still make little AdSense revenue. The reason might be they are not getting the types of traffic good for converting into AdSense. Looking at the data in 'Referring sites' feature, there will know what to do to improve their AdSense performance.

There are also a few other features that can help you.

As the AdSense integration hasn't rolled out fully, you wouldn't be able to have access immediately to this function yet. But keep checking your account for an invitation link. Once you saw the link, You can click it to sign up for starting testing this function.

I recently came across an impressive file publishing website. It is Youpublish.com. What so good about this website is that it allows you to upload any type of file.

Today, the Internet is full of Money Making opportunities. There are affiliate marketing, eBay auctioning, blog marketing, ebook selling, AdSense site building and etc. All these are online business opportunities that can make you a life changing income.

But, if you are the type of person who prefers to have a job career on the Internet, you may find that these online business ideas aren't for you. In this case, you can consider taking part in the outsourced customer service call center field. By becoming a call center agent, you can earn a good income consistently. These online job opportunities exist because many companies are now wanting to outsource their customer support or help desk in order to cut down their cost and free up more office space.

The benefit of working as an call agent is that you don't need to work in office. And you probably already owns most of the tools required to get started. The necessary tools are a computer or a laptop, broadband speed Internet connection and a headset with microphone.

The job will depend on the company you work with. It can be taking incoming calls from potential and existing customers who want to ask about the products or services of the company. Or making outbound calls (not cold calling) to existing customers.

There is not much pressure doing the job. But you do need to have communication skill as you will be talking over the phone with different people. Patience is a must because sometimes you will get phone calls from people complaining about the company's product.

When you apply to join a company as a home based call agent, usually you need to first go through a training program. The company will probably pay you for working in the training program. You will also be instructed to install some software to help you with the call.

One thing that the company will insist is the room you use for dealing with customer calls must be quite. The company will not want their customers hear noises like your kids are running around the house, baby crying and etc while you are talking to them over the phone. This is a rule you must comply because the company may listen to some of your calls when appraising your performance.

Here are two US companies that offer the outsource call job opportunities:

1. Custom Loyal
2. Alpineaccess
You might need helpful info when applying a job from these two companies. The existing call agents have been providing good info and assistance in WAHM Forum. The threads specifically for Custom Loyal and Alpineaccess are:

Custom Loyal - http://www.wahm.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=107
Alpineaccess - http://www.wahm.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=97

Outsource customer service calling job is quite a new way to make money online. You can choose to work for part-time or full-time depending on the free time you have.

A lot of people have been making money online through the two well known programs, PayPerPost.com and Sponsoredreviewed.com. These two programs offer pay per post opportunities to bloggers. Through them bloggers can publish blog post or review about the advertisers' products or services and get paid for each published post.

For any blogger that needs to earn some quick cash, taking part in the pay per post opportunities of Payperpost and Sponsoredreviewed.com is one of the good choices.

Doing pay-per-post has a few advantages to enjoy but it also has several drawbacks. This article will discuss both the goods and bads of making money online by writing paid post on your blog.

Pros

Easy and Fast Way for Bloggers to Earn Extra Cash
The process of writing paid post and get paid is simple and easy. With a blog that is more than 3 months old; has some traffic and at least PR1 in Google pagerank, you can immediately apply and submit the blog to PayPerPost.com. You might be getting a few advertisers willing to pay you $5 to $10 per blog post publishes on your blog after a few days of joining the program.

High Earning Potential
If your blog covers a lot of general topics such as computer, travel, movie, music, Internet, health and many more, the blog can potentially attract a lot of advertisers for you and make you more than one thousand dollars per month. The top earners are making almost two thousands per month with PayPerPost.com alone. If these top earners join other marketplace similar to payperpost.com, the earning will be even more.

And the good news is you don't need an outstanding blog to make a lot of money with review posts. I previously have done some researches on a few top earners’ blogs. I found that there is nothing special in their blog. Their blog is just normal content blog with a list of topics, with Google Page Rank 3 to 4 and some consistent traffic (150 to 300 daily visitors I guest). So, it is possible for you to copy their formula to make good income with paid posts as well.

Less Work
Comparing pay per post with other blog income sources such as pay per click advertising programs, selling direct banner ads and etc, pay per post require lesser effort. To achieve success in pay per click programs and banner ad selling, you got to learn optimization, tracking your traffic, keep on testing what works and what don’t, build up your image, spend a great deal of time to marketing and promote your blog.

But for pay per post, all you need to do are checking your account for opportunities that your blog qualifies for, visiting the advertisers to learn what they are offering and writing a post about it. It is a little difficult when browsing your advertiser’s site to understand their offer and you need some time to figure out idea for writing the post for the advertiser. But, once you done everything you will certainly be paid for your work.
