Google adsense team has started this wonderful five-weeks educational series where they’ll tell the bloggers and webworkers to speed up their business in the time of recession. They’ll tell us that how we can make use of Google tools to increase the revenue. The posts will be updated every thursday, so keep an eye on this page or subscribe to their RSS feed.
Few days back, Google introduced a new feature in its Adsense program that lets you customize the font size of the adsense units. Back in February, Google came up with the feature of letting the publishers to change the fonts of their adsense units and now with the ability to change the fonts, we publishers have got more options to optimize the adsense units for better results!
I’ve already written few articles on how partnering with other bloggers or people in general helps develop great blogs and many a times great corporations too! I was tempted to write on this wonderful topic once again when I saw this blog post from Enk, 6 Reasons why You should NOT Blog with a Partner!
There was a time, when Google was literally giving away Google Adsense accounts to publishers and one of the easiest trick was to apply through Google’s Blogger.com. However, now a days I’m hearing that Google isn’t approving the Adsense accounts so easily. They do a thorough check of every application before they approve it. I’ve even heard that Google isn’t entertaining any publisher whose blog/website isn’t more than 6 months old (I can’t confirm it, it sounds rumor to me).
Few days back, I got this email from Google Adsense team and found out that they’ve decided to retire Google Adsense Video units. I always felt that Google Adsense Video Units will be difficult to monetize in the current market conditions. I guess a wonderfully and creative video ad will do much wonders as marketing campaign for any company on YouTube itself. You don’t believe me – Check out the number of views of this ad on Youtube, this ad and this ad too.
Some time back, I’d written a follow up post on Daniel’s post; “Should you really write about what you love if you want to make money online?” In that post, I vouched for the idea of starting the blog on the topic of your interest and I still vouch for the same. However, there are people who just want to make money out of blogs and aren’t bothered about starting the blog of their own interest. The question arises, that how do they find out that on which topic one should start the blog and why one should start on that particular topic?
On this blog, we haven’t switched to advertisements for the revenue. However there are other blogs of mine that are monetized through ads. In order to ensure that those blogs generate good enough revenue through Google Adsense, I’ve done fair bit of research on how users interact with my website.
