Why Google Adsense targets every internet users

I received an email from this guy Derek Cheng, who was asking me how to get his Adsense working on his blog, but refuses to tell me the blog address and i respected him,though i am not sure why he was so relucant but i did give him the solutions as to how set up his Adsense properly before placing the code to his blog. The fact is adsense is simple to understand and use!

Adsense is one of the easiest PPC program you can actually signup for and make money out of it though many bloggers like John Chow and Problogger(Darren Rowse) who have given them up on their blog and even made comments that Adsense don't make as much money as sponsors do. They have their point there, but the question is are you getting that sort of traffic per day to even think about getting sponsors to monetize your blog?

Google Adsense Made for the young and Old
Google Adsense are for everyone, regardless whether you are a newbie or a pro blogger with vast experiences, Adsense can make you money. It is very simple to apply for an account and all you need to do is signup and start to generate revenue from Adsense.

Many says Adsense don't make money so i follow
There are tons of ways to make money online and using Adsense is just one of the many. They can be many reasons why bloggers say they are not making money with Adsense.

• They expect to make $1/day when their blog is not even 1 month old
• They expect to make $100/mth when they have less than 1000 visitors per month
• They are not making as much as John chow so they give up on Adsense
• They do invalid clicks and got ban so they say Adsense don't make money
• They don't even have an Adsense account but they say they don't make money

The fact is these are what others say, have you tried it for yourself and be convinced that they don't work for you? If they serious don't work for you, then change to another PayPerClick Program, like i say there are many alternatives out there. Try every program and see which suits you.

Getting started with Adsense
There are 3 products you can choose, Adsense Content,Adsense Search and Referral. I will touch on the adsense content portion since its what many users are looking for how to get it setup.

Under "Adsense Setup" click on "Adsense for content"



There are 2 types of ads available for you to chose, "Ad Unit" which allows you to choose whether you want to have Text and images ads or just purely Text Ads/Images Ads only.
The "Link Unit" are in text ads and they look like navigation links, i will have this explained further later.

Standard Ads Unit
These are the ads formats that you can chose from and there are many variety from this list, lets go straight to the what you need to do to get the best ad placement out of so many choices.

Google have done a survey and found out that their most effective ads placements are 336x280 Large Rectangle, 300x250 Inline Rectangle and 160x600 wide skyscraper. Personally i am using a 300x250 inline rectangle and it seems to be working well.Learn to place them in Google Heatmap zones so that valid and effective clicks can be created.


Link Unit
Remember i talked about the link unit resembling like your navigations? These link units can be created and each link unit displays a list of topics relevant to the content of your site, and when users click on one of these topics, they're brought to a page of AdWords ads related to that topic.Link units are particularly effective for more focused content, where visitors tend to be seeking specific information. I personally use a horizontal Link Unit, You got to see which suits your site.





Colors
You can create a range of colors which blends the ads into your blog. Try avoiding borders cause they look unnatural on your blog.

Corner Style
Recently Google added another rounded style which is good if you have a site designed with rounded borders around otherwise recommendation to stick with the square corners.

Adding Channels
Why do we need to add channels? It is to track the number of impressions and clicks you receive on that channel. basically if you have many ads format on one site or maybe you have 3 sites and you would like to keep track of your CTR then it is best to have channels for individual ads unit. It allows you to keep track and know which ads are doing well on your site.

Google Adsense code implementation on your site
This will be the example of a Adsense code that you can add on your blog.

• Google client - The xxxxx is represented by numbers and its an identification number that it is your ads.
• Google Width/Height/format/type/channel - these are the pre setting that you have done before hand
  

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel = "Etienneteo";
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

Make sure you do not modify the java script, please read the Adsense TOS and Adsense Policies.

Allowing your Adsense to be placed in your XML script
This problem arise and was solved sometime back when you copy the entire code and could not have it placed in your XML script.You would be required to change these 2 code.

See the one highlighted in red, change the code to the one which i have given you, this code allows the script to read it as < and same for the bottom one, that code would allow the script to read it as >

For Ads unit and Link Unit, you can have a maximum of 3 ads each in 1 page. 3 standard ads unit and 3 Link unit.
