Use Automation

This tip is a time saver especially if you:

• - have a large number of pages or
• - are using automatic page generators to generate pages on your website

You can automate the insertion of your Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (Server Side Includes).

If like me you’d never heard of SSI before, its not as frightening as is sounds.

Let me show you the benefits of it first and then I’ll provide a link where you can find out more info on how to use them.

The Problem

If you have Adsense Ads on many pages on your website.

If you want to change their format such as their colour or layout, then you may be into a very long editing session.

You will need to replace your existing Adsense code on each of you pages with the new Adsense code you generated in your Google Account.

Unless…

The SSI Solution

The advantage of using SSI is that you can do this by just changing one file on your web server and then every page on your website that uses that file will show your new format Adsense Ads.

So How Do You Do It ?

One of the first things you will need to do is ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not.

If it does, just save the Adsense code you generated in your Google account in a text file, such as “adsensecode.shtml”, and upload it to the root directory of your web server.

Then for every page where you want to use that Adsense Ad, you simply use an SSI call that will load the Adsense code into your page like in the following example:
<!–#include virtual=”/adsensecode.shtml” –>

More details details on how to do this can be found here:

Google Allows SSI Insert Scripts. But Only If …

I found this email on this site from the Google Adsense team.

It mentions that Google allows scripts that insert Adsense code into your pages.

But only if …

they do not modify the Adsense code that you created in your Adsense account.

This is what Google says in the email:

“Please understand that scripts inserting ad code into pages are acceptable if they do not modify the ad code from your account.”

So I took a look around and found 5 Ways to help Make Money with Google Adsense.

Rather than bombard you with one long boring post, I’ve split it into 5 bite size chunks so here we go with Part 4.

Adsense Ads Not Related to Your Web Page ?

Then you may want to try Adsense Section Targeting to try and get the Ads that are being show more relevant to your content and so more likely to be clicked on by your visitors.

What is Adsense Section Targeting ?

The official explanation is on Google’s Adsense Help Page:
“What is section targeting and how do I implement it”

In it they say:

“Section targeting allows you to suggest sections of your text and HTML content that you’d like [Google] to take into account or downplay when matching ads to your site’s content”

What this means is..

Section Targeting lets you show Google which parts of your page you want them to use when deciding which Adsense Ads are best matched to the content on your page.

Just as important…

It also means that you can also show Google which parts of the page you don’t want them to use when deciding which Adsense Ads to show.

Examples of the code to use can be seen below.

Section Targeting is a Win-Win Solution for Everybody

• You can make sure that Adsense Ads are targeted to your content
• Your visitors get Ads that are related to the subject they’re interested in
• Google wins because you may get more click thru rates

Example Adsense Section Targeting Code

This example show how to highlight sections in your content that you want Google to use for Adsense matching:

<html>
<head>
<title>Section Targeting Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<!– google_ad_section_start –>

This is the text of your webpage. Most of your content resides here.

<!– google_ad_section_end –>
</body>
</html>

If you want to highlight sections that you want Google to ignore then add (weight=ignore) to the starting tag as follows:

<!– google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) –>

Google Warnings on Using Section Targeting

Google warns that:

• For it to work properly you’ll need to include a significant amount of the content on your page inside the Section Targeting tags.
• They can’t guarantee results
  Which I think means how accurately they can match your section to the Adsense Ads
• It may take up to 2 weeks before their crawlers see any of the changes you’ve made to your site.

So I took a look around and found 5 Ways to help Make Money with Google Adsense.

Rather than bombard you with one long boring post, I’ve split it into 5 bite size chunks so here we go with Part 3.

Move your Adsense Ads – Above the Fold

Do not try to hide your Adsense sections.

Don’t bury them at the bottom of your pages where your visitors may never go.

Put them in places where people can see them quickly.

One of the main tips I’ve found is to place your Adsense ads above the fold.

This is an old newspaper term that meant placing your best items on the upper half of the front page.

This is because most papers are delivered and displayed folded with only the top half of the front page being visible, so stories or adverts in this portion get maximum visibility.

In a similar way, in computer terms it means putting items nearer the top of a web page which for most visitors will be seen without having to scroll down.

How Adsense Locations can make a Difference to your Adsense Earnings

See Google’s Adsense help page
Where should I place Google ads on my pages ?

This shows a “heat map” which illustrates the ideal places on a web page for your Adsense Ads that may help you improve your Adsense Earnings.

However they also mention:

“We strongly recommend putting your users first when deciding on ad location.
Think about their behaviour on different pages, and what will be most useful and visible to them.
You’ll find that the most optimal ad position isn’t always what you expect on certain pages”

Create a Custom Palette for your Adsense Ads.

Choose a color that will go well with the background of your site.

If your site has a white background, try to use white as the color of your ad border and background.

The idea to customising the colors is to make the Adsense ads blend into the background of your web page, similar to the live example you can see below.

Again, this will help produce more clicks from people visiting your site.

What do you think of the Colors in the Above Example ?

I’ve tried to choose colors in the above Adsense Ads that match the overall theme of this blog and so hopefully blend with the page.

You can compare it with my default example in my first post on this

I’d be interested to hear if you think I’ve been successful or if you have any ideas on what color scheme would be better suited.

If you  want to monetize your websites, a great way to Make Money is with Google Adsense.

However, like me, you may be struggling hard to make money online from your Adsense Earnings.

So I took a look around and found 5 Ways to help Make Money with Google Adsense.

Rather than bore you with one long post, I’ve split it into 5 bite size chunks.

So without further ado lets get started with Part 1

Concentrate on One Format of Adsense Ad

One format that seems to be one of the most popular is the text Large Rectangle (336X280) as can be seen in this live example that I’ve embedded below:

Why should you choose this format ?

From what I’ve learned this format tends to result in higher CTR (Click Through Rates).

The thinking behind it is that it’s mainly because these ads look like normal web links.

As people have become used to clicking on web links they tend to click on these types of links without thinking.

They may or may not know or care that they are clicking on your Adsense links but at the end of the day a click is a click and it will be to your advantage.

Following on from yesterday’s post on how to use Google Alerts to find out Who’s Linking to Your Blog it made me realise that I use Google Alerts for other things too.

You can use them to find out when your website or blog pages are indexed by Google.

Simply Use The The Following Google Alert Search Term

site:http://yoursite.com

where yoursite.com is the domain name of your blog or website.

By doing this you will be sent an alert whenever a page on your site or blog is indexed by Google.

If you use the “as-it-happens” option when you create the Google Alert you will be alerted when Google indexes one of your pages.

Also..

The advantage of using the domain name without the www part is that you will also get an alert for any sub-domains that you may have on your site such as blog.yoursite.com or news.yoursite.com

More details of the site command can be found here at the Site Command Description page on Google’s Blog.

Using Google Alerts To Detect If Your Site Has Been Hacked

I also stumbled across Patrick Altoft’s BlogStorm article which shows how you can use Google Alerts to show if someone has hacked your site and placed hidden adult or spam related terms on it.

By creating a ‘site:’ based alert that uses typical adult or spam related terms such as the following examples:

viagra OR cialis OR levitra OR Phentermine OR Xanax site:yoursite.com

you will be alerted if someone hacks onto your site and plants any hidden adult or spam related links on it.

Again if you use the “as-it happens” option, hopefully you will be on the case pretty quickly, before Google penalises your site.

You can read Patrick’s Full Article here:

How do you use Google Alerts ?
Do you have any tips on how to detect if your website has been hacked ?
 

I’ve been using Google Alerts for ages now as a great way of keeping in touch with the latest goings on in whatever I’m interested in.

They allow you to pre-filter the deluge of information that’s out there on the net and at least give you a head start on fighting the information overload we all face.

I also use them to keep track of my products and name, such as I’ve got an alert out for Ray Harvard, which allows me to keep track of whenever my name crops up in Google, such as in Blog posts.

However I’ve now just found another use for them…

With this great tip on John Jantsch’s – Duct Tape Marketing Blog.

By using the search term -

link:http://www.yourblogurl.com

where www.yourblogurl.com is the address of your blog.

It will send you an alert when Google detects someone linking to your blog.
(You can choose how often from the options when you create the alert.)

As John explains, one use could be to network with those linking to your blog if you wished.

I’ve just put it into practice and I’m looking forward to seeing what results it produces.
