Google AdSense program is easy way to earn money. At least for someone. There are many people making thousands of dollars with Google Adsense. Students, Housewives, Retiree’s, etc… You don’t have to be tech freak to do something like that by yourself simply by placing Adsense on your blog. But what I would like to write about here are those Adsense Experts. Maybe you heard of them somewhere, maybe you know some of them, people able to make half a million of dollars a year only with Google Adsense. But don’t mix them with those from first group that got like picking the right niche or writing one good ad. They have systems that create web sites for them and people who do that for them, they have outsourced and automated all that work such as blog posting, keywords searching, etc… Are you ready to get those techniques and be one of those Google Adsense Experts ??? Here are 7 Steps you can implement today to achieve what they did. 1) Starting today… treat your AdSense business like it is a REAL business and track what you do. TRACK EVERYTHING!!! Track things that work and track things that don’t work. Working that way you won’t make same mistakes forever and you can use stuff that work while eliminating obstacles to your success. Yes, I know. This sounds too simple. And it is. But do you do it always??? So many people don’t. Start now and take advantage over them in Google Adsense Expert Program. 2) Get the latest tools and software available. The Google AdSense Experts are not any smarter than some average person. They are just regular non techie people willing to do things easy way. Maybe I could say they are smarter in one respect though… they use the latest tools available to them to automate most of the tasks involved with researching and creating sites. They use the latest keyword, site creation and search engine optimization tools available. They consider those tools as their secret weapons. 3) Don’t go after the Big Dollar keywords. You must be aware that you can’t compete with many search engine experts who have rich clients with big budgets behind. Yes, you might say now that you managed to beat them, OK, I do that too from time to time but in the long run you should build sites for low to medium range payout keywords. The competition is not so big and your chance is much bigger in the long run. 4) Pick broad niches and break them down. What we learned from Google Adsense Experts is that while starting they choose a broad subject as their main theme (like computers for an example). From there they break that niche down into as many sub niches as possible. Using Computers as the example… you can build sub niches/sites like laptop computers, computer hard drives, computer keyboards, etc, etc. You could literally build hundreds of sites around one major theme and stay totally focused. Once you have exhausted every possible sub niche of that major theme… choose another main theme and repeat the process.
The Naked Truth About Pay Per Click Advertising
In this article, I am going to address one of the biggest fears that people have about pay per click (ppc) advertising. We know that there are many programs which promises huge profits but some of them are actually scam. How can we identify whether is ppc advertising a scam? If it is not, how a newbie can get started with it. No doubt there are many scams online, the fact is it occupies only a very tiny percentage of the money making opportunities on the internet. It is usually the media who sensationalize the news and blow things out of proportion. The only thing which you should really avoid is Ponzi scheme and fortunately, they are easy to identify. If a program claims that you can make money without doing anything and it sounds too good to be true, it probably is When choosing money making program, do some due diligence and do not simply look at the income potential claim. Go and study the business model in details and ask yourself whether the model is sustainable and does it make sense. If not, simply do not join. In my opinion, just focus your attention on the traditional internet marketing activity like ppc and you will be safe. The idea of pay per click marketing may sound like an easy way to make money online but it isn’t. Let me explain further. Many people associate ppc with affiliate marketing. They think they just need to pick a Clickbank product, post a PPC ad, get instant traffic, make sales and they will earn lot of money. That sounds easy at least conceptually. But the truth is even the best ppc expert needs to spend a couple of hundreds to test their ads before they can strike gold. Many people agrees that pay per click marketing has evolved so much in the recent years that it is getting much harder for newbie to get involved. Why? One of the reasons is there are many spying tools that can help you spy on other people ads and find out which keywords and ad phrases are profitable. My intention is not to discourage you from ppc but to remove any misconception you have about ppc. The good thing about ppc advertising is that once you hit some ads that are profitable, they can be your cash cow for quite a while. My advice is if you want to make money through pay per click marketing, make sure that you have some good education on the topic and you are definitely on your way to success.

Media and Entertainment spotlight: Tuning in and reading up
The beat goes on with the fifth installment of our industry spotlight series . Since we're featuring the Media and Entertainment space in this post, you'll uncover the findings from research Nielsen and Google recently completed to measure the impact of TV and YouTube buys on TV tune-in and online behavior. We'll also give you some glamour to accompany those numbers, so read on to find out how Sports Illustrated used a YouTube campaign to successfully promote its 2009 swimsuit issue. In a recent study, Google and Nielsen set out to answer the following questions: 1. Will a large-scale buy by a TV network on Google & YouTube increase TV tune-in? If so, by how much? 2. Will a large-scale buy by a TV network on Google & YouTube drive online behavior related to a TV show? If so, by how much? The study : Consisted of two phases, with Nielsen first conducting research to measure the impact of large-scale campaign for a major network TV show season premiere. Nielsen then compared the exposed audience to a control group to determine ad effectiveness on both online and offline behaviors. The campaign : A 2-week flight of a YouTube homepage masthead plus Google Content Network campaigns targeted to TV fans, entertainment buffs, and genre fans. The results : The impact of the campaign on TV tune-in was strong, with the exposed audiences showing a tune-in increase of 134% lift for those that had seen the overall campaign, a 115% lift for those that had seen the YouTube homepage, and a 146% lift for those that had seen the Content Network campaign. The impact on online behavior was even stronger, with greatly increased website and video visitation among the exposed audience. The results showed a 239% lift in visits to the network site, a 438% lift in visits for the show site, and a 456% lift in visits to the show video. Exposure to the campaign also increased the length of online viewership, measured in average minutes spent watching show videos: a 347% lift for those exposed to the overall campaign, a 968% lift for those exposed to the YouTube homepage, and a 172% lift for those exposed to the Content Network campaign. In sum, the effect of exposure to the YouTube and Content Network campaigns drove a significant increase in TV tune-in and online behavior related to the TV show. Exposure and engagement on YouTube can extend beyond the homepage, as Sports Illustrated discovered with their promotion of the 2009 swimsuit issue. Partnering with drink manufacturer SoBe, Sports Illustrated created a custom YouTube advertising program comprised of a number of elements, all centered on a co-branded YouTube Channel where users could watch over 40 videos highlighting the famous swimsuit models. The Brand Channel videos generated over 8.5 million video views, 400,000 channel visits and 4,300 channel subscribers. The homepage roadblock received over 33 million impressions with a click-to-play rate of 3.4%, making the featured Sports Illustrated video the most viewed video on YouTube that day. For the full story of how the campaign became a swimming success and ideas on how to use YouTube for your next client campaign, download the case study .
