Adsense is like “big brother” watching!
I had a great dream last night – it was about chocolate!
I actually dreamed I was writing for an advertising campaign. I even remember this poem from my dream…
“What does chocolate do for me?
It’s comfort food when you’re feeling low
It’s something to grab when you’re on the go
It’s smooth as silk
It’s made from milk
Comes in a box tied up with a bow….
Tacky eh!
The reason I’m telling you this is because it’s a great experiment to see if the Google adsense on my blog actually does start selling you chocolate. If it does…please let me know! Fun eh!
But seriously, aren’t these new technologies amazing! If we were living 100 years ago we’d be using the ducking stool rather a lot wouldn’t we?
But we’re not living 100 years ago, we are in a time when we allow crawlers to access our online homes and invisible robots to fight our online battles against them.
We can talk to anyone we want with the click of a mouse and find out about anything we want by Googling it!
Have you ever wondered how Adsense came about?
My research tells me that it was owned by a private company called “Oingo” based in Los Angeles. In 1998, two guys, Adam Weissman and Gilad Elbaz invented what they called a search algorithm that recognised words and their meanings. This was then developed by Princeton University.
After changing it’s name, Oingo was bought by Google in 2003 for $102 million.
Not a bad night’s work for Weissman and Elbaz eh!
Email Marketing using Auto Responders.
Sales letters through your letter box are hated by everyone. It’s unwanted, uninvited and fills your re-cycling bin. But it’s pretty clear that it’s also incredibly popular with advertisers. Why? Because while most potential customers throw away their junk letters with barely a glance, enough take action to make it all worthwhile.
They do buy—and in high enough numbers to more than cover the cost of those who don’t.
Email marketing is pretty similar, but with one important difference: on the Web, you can only send marketing emails to people who have already chosen to receive them. A bit tricky!
On the other hand, because those people have already chosen to receive your emails, you can be confident that they’re going to be interested in them.
So how do you get these valuable e-mail address? Read more
The best affiliates for your blog.
A lot of people ask me to suggest affiliates. They want to know which ones are the most effective at monetising their blog. I suppose it would be safe to say that I have done a hell of a lot of research on this subject as bad choices can make the difference between a profitable blogging business and bad choices can mean no business at all.
It is a difficult one because it all depends on your target audience.
Of-course there are some great generic ones like Chitika which is an online advertising network which works a little like Adsense. For me Chitika far surpasses Adsense because not only can you earn with click throughs you can also earn a residual income for 15 months on your referrals earnings. Read more
How To Plan The Perfect Website!
According to Wikipedia – The Internet actually started in 1969, (yes, only 1969!), as the ARPANET, a Defense Department system designed to let survivors share files after a nuclear attack. From being available on just a handful of top secret computers, it’s grown to millions and millions of users.
And it’s still growing. According to a recent survey, the volume of Internet traffic is expected to double annually over the next five years. Consumers are expected to account for 70 percent of all Internet traffic over that period with the rest of the market made up of business users.
What does that mean for you?
It means customers—millions of them.
No other business tool can put the products you sell in front of so many people so easily. Nothing even comes close. Read more
