5 Google Adsense Alternatives

Guest post by Justin Vanhove

Google Adsense is a great tool that webmasters can use to make money with their website. They way it works is you copy and paste a code on to your web pages that Google supplies you with. Then google searches its database of ads and posts them to the web pages you put the code on. You get paid each time someone clicks on that ad. Google and the publisher split the revenue It is referred to as pay per click and is a great way to make money with a website.

However, google is no longer the only pay per click ad network that webmasters can use to make money from clicks of visitors on their site. Google was the first to come up with this method, but recently there has been a rise in ad networks like this. Many webmasters are switching to a different ad network and seeing surprising results. They are earning more money per click.

This is actually not surprising seeing that Google announced last year that it was cutting back the percentage publishers earned per click(translates to Google keeps more of the profit share). This results in publishers making less money since they only get paid when someone clicks. This is why you should take a look into some alternatives to Google adsense.

Here is a list of 5 alternatives to Adsense

1. Yahoo
2. Pepperjam
3. Adbrite
4. Adsmart
5. Chikita

Yahoo is probably the best out of those 5. Many people report that yahoo pays more per click than Google does which is not surprising. What sets Yahoo apart from other Google Adsense alternatives is that it has a large amount of advertisers. This means that a visitor is less likely to see the same ad on multiple pages. This ultimately leads to more clicks which leads to more money. The other small publishers may provide some great short term success because they pay a lot per click since they just got into the game and are looking to build up business.

Aside from making more money you might have a different reason for switching to a alternative. Google is notorious for shutting down people's for click fraud. When someone clicks on their own ads it is called click fraud. When Google things one is clicking their own ads they shut off their account and it is difficult or impossible to get your account back. The bad part about this policy is that often times a sites visitor repeatably clicks on ads to get that persons account shut off. If you experience this you will want to look for a Google Adsense alternative because getting your account reopened can be difficult.

AdSense's New Feature: Font Changing Option

If you haven't read about the latest announcement in the Google AdSense Official blog yet, Google's is giving more freedom to you in customizing your AdSense ads for displaying on your blog or site.

Now when you are in your AdSense account to generate AdSense ad code, you will find an additional option called 'Fonts' that will allow you to choose the font for your AdSense ads.

This seems to be a good new option for AdSense publisher. As you may have known, displaying AdSense ads within the content area or articles is an effective way to generate high AdSense revenue. The font of the AdSense ads have set to be Arial font previously, so if your content uses Time New Romance, you will got to change all your content into Arial if you want the ads blend well with your content and generate better AdSense income.

But now, with the 'Font' option, you don't have to change your content font in your website. If you are using Time New Roman, you can keep your content font in Time New Roman and still blend well with AdSense ads by setting the AdSense ads font to be similar to the font of your content pages.

And if you are now thinking to change the font for every AdSense ad unit you have created, don't worry, you don't have to manually change it one by one. The AdSense team has set a quick way for you. You can read how to do it at http://adsense.blogspot.com/2009/02/fontastic-new-options-for-your-ad-units.html.

Affiliate Marketing VS MLM

Guest post by Cameron Blyth

There are plenty of worthwhile business opportunities on the internet in the sectors of both Affiliate Marketing and MLM but which one is right for you. Well this question can only be answered by one person, you. In this report I will give you my personal views on both Affiliate Marketing and MLM.

Let me start with a few positives of Affiliate Marketing. First of all it is a very simple business which only requires you to promote a product, there is no need for a website because that is included in the program and once someone purchases the program you will make a commission. Another great thing about it is that you will never have to deal with customers. MLM on the other hand is a bit different. Although you are not required to contact your downline, it can prove to be very beneficial because building a good business relationship with your downline and helping them to promote their business will allow them to make money faster, which in turn makes you more money.

A benefit is the residual income that is available to MLM owners more so then affiliate marketers because as an affiliate marketer you refer people to a product or service and in most cases you are paid a one time commission and that's all the money you will see from that particular transaction. As an MLM owner you have the benefit of building an organization with a downline from which you can receive massive amounts of residual income without even touching the mouse. The appeal of making money by basically not doing much is a factor that most people find hard to turn down.

Don't get me wrong to get to the point where you are making significant residual income does take time and hard work. However once your system is in place and your organization begins to spit out top producers it makes MLM a much more attractive business opportunity then affiliate marketing too many people.

I like to think of MLM as affiliate marketing when you are just getting started because you are getting an upfront commission when you personally refer somebody and all the commissions you are getting from your down-line should be thought of as a bonus but those bonuses will then start to overtake your regular upfront commissions and your downline growth begins to run on autopilot and will slowly build bigger and bigger.

MLM is an extraordinary business once you put in some hard work but if it's the simplicity of affiliate marketing that takes your fancy than that is great because it is an excellent business for beginners. Whether you choose Affiliate Marketing or MLM, with some hard work and dedication, Success will be in your very near future.

A Guide to Making Money with a Home Business

Guest post by Khareem Cabey

You can achieve freedom when you successfully start your own home business and make money online fast. There are different types of home businesses that you can start. The best way for you to figure out what type of business is to grab the free info that we offer to you and I'm sure that you will succeed with your home business. When help is needed it will be provided. One thing to take into consideration is that when you start to make the big bucks you probably will have problems maintaining it, in which then you could hire someone to help you, it could be a friend or a family member.

The current world money crisis has caused many people to be without work. Some people might just be disappointed about their current salary and may want an extra source of income or just looking to leave the world the world of extremely hard work. Setting up a successfully home business has nothing to do with why you would want to start the business.

The best thing is you will be your own boss and have control over how much money you make online. Now doesn't that sound good? I'm sure it does. But that's not all. You could choose your work time and don't have to worry about a boss breathing down your neck. You won't need a dress code because a t-shirt and shorts will do just fine. Those are just a few of the endless opportunities u will have when you start you home business and start making fast money online.

The different types of home business opportunities are too much to mention. But affiliate programs, telecommuting and forex trading is just a start. A way to describe an affiliate program is - where you can sell a product which could be your own or someone else's own using one of the different organizations. The way the programs are set up, very little work from you will be required but the money will be rolling in without anything extra on your part. One major thing that will have a big effect on your affiliate programs is traffic/visitors. Get lots of visitors and then offer them exactly what they want.

Telecommuting is a home business you could consider. It's like your normal job but you will be doing it from home instead. You will be working for companies expect you to work by their guidelines. You will definitely have to put in time to make money. You could start this kind of business but I would advise you to become an affiliate of some sort.

Beware or scams. Trusted sites like this one are where you would want to get legit money making tips from. You should be wary of anyone who asks for payment for processing fees or other clerical fees. These people are normally people looking to scam you out of your money. I've been scammed couple times before, so I try to help avoid hard working individuals of getting the same treatment like me. If you find a company not will to give out a lot of info or you have to pay them for it.

5 Reasons Why Internet Marketers Fail

An internet business is not fool proof. Just because you create a website does not mean that it will ever make you money. In fact, everyday many people fail to earn money online and this is due to a variety of reasons. Some of the most common are that people do not have any type of plan or have a plan and refuse to work it. Working only when one feels like it, giving up easily and not tracking one’s marketing and advertising efforts are other ways to increase the likelihood that a person will fail online.

Here are 5 reasons why Internet marketers fail:

a. They Don’t Have a Plan: Many of the same actions that are required to be a success offline apply to the online business world as well. Just as it is important to have a marketing and business plan for a brick and mortar business, the same is true for an internet marketing business. You need to have a plan. It will keep you focused and provide direction for your efforts. If you do not have a plan and have no idea what you are going to be doing from day to day, then you will likely be in trouble.


b. They Don’t Work That Plan: It is one thing to have a plan. It is another thing to take action. If you are a planner and not a doer, then you will fail. It is very easy and even quite fun to come up with plans. However, if you never give them any feet, then you are wasting your time and brain power. Instead, commit to putting your plan into action everyday. Don’t let fear or laziness curtail your dreams. You will regret it later on.

c. They Work Only When They Feel Like It: There is some dirty myth that if you work online, you can work whenever you want to and can skip out on working whenever you don’t feel like it. While this is true, it doesn’t mean that you will make money if you run your business this way. The same holds true offline. Sure, you can go to work when you want and play hookie if you feel like it but the result will likely be the loss of your job and income. This true even if you work online. You don’t have to work, but in most cases you won’t make any money.

d. They Give Up Easily: The business world is not for quitters. I believe many people give up on their internet businesses so easily because they underestimate the amount of work that will be required. They fall for the “make $100,000 in 6 months, working only 30 minutes a day” advertisements. These are obviously a bunch of bunk but people don’t find that out until after they have tried and failed with these systems. If people had realistic expectations, they might be willing to hang in there a little longer.

e. They Don’t Track Their Advertising: Not tracking your advertising is one of the biggest mistakes that you can make. If you have no idea where your sales are coming from, you will be unable to ramp up advertising at those places that are making you money and will continue to waste money on unprofitable campaigns. To avoid this, be sure to track all of your web pages and ads. You will be so thankful that you did.
