If you thought about making some money online, than Ad Sense WordPress is the best choice for you. If you have original content, it is very easy to get the needed traffic from Google, and this can be done on many topics. Check out all the topics and try to think of those which have a high click value, and than just do your best and you’ll see that things will turn out the right way.

Everything seems to be perfect but, still, there are some problems which may occur. The topics may have difficulties to be clicked on. Can you imagine people going in the HTML code and inserting joint links? But once again, WordPress comes in the help of the developer and eases the procedure.

The first step is to choose a topic that you find easy to use. In order to work properly this theme has to allow you to select the place of all the advertisements you want to show on your site. Another good advice is to choose a split test for the advertisements. In this way you may see which topic is preferred and which is less clicked on. Surprise may come when you find out that the layout has all the major influence factors. Clients tend to choose the untraditional layouts.

Because of this, those themes are best liked which come in a customizable package. Always try to use those themes for which you have to pay, because those are the ones which attract the clients. A positive aspect of choosing a theme is the fact that it has support. An up to date forum which allows clients to communicate is always preferred. You should look for the webmaster of the forum, and you should also pay attention to the way and the period of time of given answers by the moderator.

Keep in mind: all the themes should be compatible with gizmos, work well with search engines and browser types. All these characteristics can help you ear money is a fast way thanks to WordPress and Google. The better the theme the higher the ranking and visits on Google.

In order you understand what I`m talking about, I want to tell before we begin to talk about the 3 things I mentioned before , a little about my self . I have been working online since January 2008, at first I had a personal blog about a specific piece of exercise equipment. I started writing a short little article every day , and after about one month I started earning about a dollar per day. Like many of you who make only a dollar or less per day, I realized that there were people on the internet who were making thousand of dollars each day online and they were doing the exact same thing I was doing, they just had a larger professional area. After seeing the power that Blogging had ,I began working in a more professional way and after almost three years of work, I finally made a plan that keeps making me a successful Blogger every day. Now I earn more than 700$ every month hand that`s why I want to share with you exactly what I do every day:

1. Write: I know it may seem extremely basic , but writing is the only way you can earn money blogging. To make people visit your site, you have to write unique and special articles , or pay someone to do them for you. The more you write, the more money you will earn. I write now 5 articles a day, on my personal blog, then another 2 articles a day that I submit to article directories, for back links.
2. Build Back links: Most people who blog, write a lot of articles, but forget to build links to them. If you don’t, they probably will not rank very good in the search engines. If you want people to find your content, you must build back links. Like I just said, I tend to submit at least 2 articles a day, to article directories.
3. Blog with a Purpose and Set Performance Goals: If you’re just free-blogging, or writing without any goal or purpose, then you will never have success. I blog with a purpose, because I have daily things that I must do, in order to keep me successful. When I blog, I complete the daily tasks. Whenever I complete my daily tasks, I make more money. Setting performance goals is also crucial, and comes along the lines of blogging with a purpose. Setting performance goals means setting exactly what you’re about to do everyday to have success. Maybe you just want to write 1 article, and build 2 article directory back links per day. Blogging with a purpose and setting performance goals will let you to become successful.

If you really want to become a successful blogger, you have to follow the 3 rules that I have wrote above. Remember, blogging is about writing: The more you write, the more money you will earn. If you hate writing, then probably this is not the job for you.

hosted vs self hosted wordpress blog

We all know that WordPress is the best no cost and the most adjustable blog publishing …, making it effortless to create one owns blog or website. Thus, in these days, when blogging is becoming an attractive and fashionable usage of the internet, WordPress can allow us to build unique blog or websites. Once decided on making a blog or website, we have to pay attention and see which WordPress form of hosting is most appropriate for us, depending on each one’s benefits and drawbacks.

WordPress has to offer two choices: hosted or self-hosted WordPress. While, the self-hosted service implies a manual approach, requiring setting up, keeping and managing ourselves the WordPress Software, the hosted WordPress is conducted by WordPress most qualified coordinators. In the next lines, I’ll try to expose each choice’s benefits and drawbacks as they present themselves.

Hosted WordPress – WordPress

First, I’ll have to point out the simple and quick steps that you have to follow to install the application. Secondly, you won’t have troubles with any updates, because the program will run them automatically. Unfortunately, it’s more inflexible and it obliges us to choose a domain, unlike the self-hosted WordPress.

Benefits:

No cost – there were no costs implied, the only thing I needed to proceed was my e-mail address

Programmed updates – every time a new update is ready to use, the program will run it automatically.

Simply to use and install – I only needed to follow three simple steps: make an account, pick a subdomain and select a theme and that was all.

Drawbacks:

No profit – more exactly, it’s impossible to use the blog as a way to earn money from displaying advertisements, as they are controlled and forbidden.

Domain constraint – to my surprise, I discovered that the blog can only wear this given name myblogname.wordpress.com

Fixed amount of space – I’ve also discovered that it’s also possible not to have enough space to unfold

Determined number of themes – As I’ve started I’ve noticed a really poor number of themes, there were only 75 possible choices

To sum up, I consider it a bad choice if you want a blog or a website that can allow you mobility and freedom of choice.

Self-Hosted WordPress

For self-hosted WordPress, I needed the software, a chosen name for my domain and a bit of attention at what new versions ready to use I could find on the internet. I was glad to see that it offered me all the freedom of choice I could seek and also the possibility of earning a couple of bucks or even more. Thus, a self-hosted blog gives a wide range of personalized options to earn an extra income.

Nevertheless, it offered me the capacity to supervise my own blog without any limitations, giving me the total control of managing my own page.

Benefits:

• Income – It gives me the possibility to earn money from selling stuff or from any application that could produce an amount of money.
• Design – Total freedom on choosing a theme appropriate to what your blog wants to express, from simple to more superior ones, depending on how much we afford to spend
• Total control – I could design my blog as I’d imagine it, enjoying the no restrictions policy and the complete range of options offered me at each step
• Tools that optimize your search – It allowed me to gather every single information in order to order my pages
• Personalized Domain Name – I could choose freely my own domain name, making it easier to be find and to make an impression with it

Drawbacks:

• Complicated to install – I needed first to get the WordPress software and only after that I could proceed on setting-up my blog
• No programmed updates – In these days when blogging is more than a trend, more and more updates are available in order to make WordPress a better application for everyone who uses it. Unfortunately, the self-hosted WordPress doesn’t have programmed updates, thus obliges us search the new and improved versions in order to install them.
• Charge – I had to pay for the software that allowed me to self-host my blog and also I was recharged for the domain after a period of time.

• On your website-biography page, hobby related etc.
• On your blog- and don’t worry about language, you will generally get ads in own language.
• On Hub Pages.
• And also on theme pages.

Now that we know where let’s go through these points and we will see what they are all about.

Adding AdSense on your website:

Well, let’s say you have a hobby website related to fly fishing. This works great with AdSense- or Kontera and other such related systems, as it’s a great specialty niche. Similar specialty sites, like financial stewardship or hunting are good also, as these areas typically are high paying key words.

Adding AdSense on your Blog:

It is very attractive to AdWords advertisers because of the continuous update. But remember AdWords is where you buy ads and AdSense where you show ads on your sites. Not to confuse these different systems.

AdSense performs well with high paying key word niches, as it normally has content with relevant key words for good ad placement.

Adding AdSense on HubPages:

If you don’t want to host your blog or theme page this is a good solution, AdSense placement are allowed on most free services. The diference is that you won’t get information regarding the ratio that ads are shown, but a qualified guess is that your ad appears once every three views your page has, bringing ratio of 1/3 of the time.

Adding AdSense on Theme Pages:

An excellent place to have ads, the temporary niche that you create, a family domain with photos, or maybe about a project for work, or built-it-yourself tutorial, makes it attract more business related ads, that makes you have access to some ads that normally won’t come without this domain.

The main idea of using AdSense in a productive manner is to have quality content on your site, but don’t center your content on Google ads, because such behavior is not accepted, and your site could get banned. So, we can say the key to earning good money with Google AdSense is to have a good content and permanently posting.

But if you want to make more money using AdSense I have found five easy tips for you that will help you to increase your earnings. These tips are very simple and easy to follow.

1. Coloring your ads. One of the most important things that can ensure a bigger income using AdSense Google is to color your ads. But coloring your ads is not enough. If you have text ads on your page don’t use borders. If you color your ad so that it matches the background of your page and leave it without a border more people will click them. So, no border, matching color.
2. Ad placement. The best way to make your ad more obvious is to place it on the top of your page, as close as you can to the menu bar. There are vertical ads you can put on your page. Vertical ads can be placed on the right side of your page or on the left side. Placing ads on the left side of your page has the best click through rate. So remember, on the top of your page and on the left side.
3. Testing is important. An easy and important thing to remember is to always test new layouts, colors, placements. You should change the color of your ads frequently to see which color performs better in CTR (click through rate). Also change the placement of your ads to see what better suits your website. You can also try to place ads between the content on your page. Although it is not recommended for all pages, maybe on your page it will prove to be a profitable move and you will increase your earnings using Google AdSense.
4. Use preview tools. Using preview tools is a good way to test and see ads before permanently placing them on your page. You can see the finished form of your ads in terms of color, placement and content. The preview tool is easy to install using just a few clicks. It’s important to preview ads because if you don’t like your ad, the visitors are most likely not to like your ads.
5. Use AdSense ready themes. If you want to become a Google AdSense guru you should start with trying an adsense ready wordpress theme. I made a list with the top 10 adsense ready wordpress themes.
   

My experience has shown me these 5 easy steps are a sure win when it comes to AdSense. I hope they helped you at least a little in your marketing battles.

Best blogging platform- WordPress

For many of us, blogging has become a common way of communication and socialization. Moreover, I think that for successfully developing a blog or even a website, a person needs an advanced content management system, and the one that it is mostly recommended today and also available for free is WordPress (www.wordpress.org).

What makes WordPress the best website design platform, from my point of view, are the diverse and particular characteristics that is based upon.

• Plugins – I find plugins to be the best feature in WordPress. With over 11.000 available for download, they cover a plethora of user needs by adding extra functionality. You can install any of these with just a few clicks and no programing experience is needed. Also WordPress reminds me anytime I have to update them, so no compatibility issues arise.
• Themes - I think that visual appearance, as the first contact with a user, is the most important facet of a website. If I were to start a website or blog for instance, I would definitely choose WordPress because it has many available and wonderful themes, adaptable to any website design, which also come in different formats, graphics and colors.
• Auto ping – Another thing that I consider relevant for maintaining a website is time, so for web designers who use multiple websites simultaneously, time should be used with caution. For this WordPress has auto ping, which forewarns by itself the many other central websites that updates or new notifications have been made to a blog or website. Especially I consider this to be a meaningful feature of WordPress because in this way it promotes the platform.
• Cost- Although it is said nothing is without costs, WordPress.com offers the possibility of installing for free websites or blogs. I see this as a great starting point but however if you want to invest in your own domain name plus an original and well-made website theme, you can do this with a WordPress website for only 60$ a year, at a hosting company. More than this, judging by the source of income that this will bring, I regard that the sum is a minor investment for this powerful business engine.
• Intra-Site Linking- I think that when it comes to good search engine optimization (SEO) and different applications, getting traffic to your website is a significant aspect, because of the need to provide accessible ways for navigating the website’s pages. In WordPress pages are connected through SEO-friendly menus, particular pages (for example: tags, categories, archives) and diverse blog gadgets like tag clouds, most recent posts and also comments.
• Simplicity – The easy to use and sleek interface makes the platform very user-friendly and I believe that even if you have little knowledge about websites, installing WordPress requires just one click on most hosts. Thus, following mere steps after installation, like logging into an account, posting comments or simply editing, any user can update their website in no time. I just see it as easy as using any other word processor.
• Easily Customizable- Last, but not least I reckon that one of the pleasant part of design work is customizing your website. In WordPress this gamesome feature is very simple to be achieved, because you can choose from a multitude of widgets in designing your website. Consequently, I think that WordPress in itself is a suitable platform for any user who desires to develop a website as one truly imagines.



Make money by adsense

Make Money by AdSense. I’ve asked some of my friends, what is AdSense? Most of them did the next thing:  Google Searched AdSense and then copy pasted it to me.  Another guy said something like this: “You post commercials on your own website with what you can after that make some money, and then Google is going to choose, what it will post for you, depending on city, language, and so on”.  And then my friend asked me…Are you a creating a website of your own? What I want to underline by this, is that, we are not really informed about this aspect of Google.

So what is AdSense exactly?

AdSense is an application run by Google Inc. and helps in ad serving.  It is actually a program, in which people; especially website owners can join to facilitate advertisements for their websites.

It is not a complicated system, you are helping Google advertise, and they pay you a percentage for this help.  It is a win – win situation. You get money from Google, and Google gets money, by your website.

So my friends question was quite proper.  AdSense is mostly used by website owners.

How is this working?

With this feature you can get money in a simple way. People, who visit you website, and click on your ad, will bring you money.  So why isn’t anybody using this characteristic of Google? The answer is very simple. First of all, you have to create a website. Secondly, it has to be a very good website, with loads of actual information. It has to have a targeted traffic; otherwise, nobody will click on it. Usually, the website has to contain very specific information about the topic. Afterwards, it has to contain recommendations for the people interested in the topic. And finally, it is a permanent work. The website has to be build continuously, with more and more content.

For example, if I would like to use AdSense, I would create a website, let say about Hepatitis C. This is a very common disease, though it has no proper treatment yet. So this site should contain very specific and scientific information about the disease and the treatment. After that, I should do my research about what people are interested regarding to the malady. It is very important for the website to get a good ranking by Google. The bigger rank it has, the more clicks it will get, and by this, the more money will bring. A very important aspect is to like the topic, love the topic. Or to be delicate to you, so you can always fill it with new and new content.

Some ways to money making by AdSense:

1. For first I have to filter out those keywords that have a high competition, like for example: mp3, sex, money, and so on.
2. After, I have to find keywords that increase the volume of targeted traffic to the site
3. A good tip is distributing FREE articles on the website
4. Also using ONLINE discussion groups can advertise my site

I encourage you, that if you wish to create a website, use Google’s AdSense feature…It is easy, once you have the site, and you have traffic. Wishing you lot’s of creativity in making money with AdSense.
