Running Google AdSense on your site? 04/11/2005 05:50 AM

If your running Google AdSense ads on your site here is a tool Chris Pirillo is recommending.

Personally I guess if these ads were doing well enough to allow me to retire I may have a look at them otherwise my time is much more valuable that parsing log files. [C hris Pirillo]

AP - The judge in the child molestation case against Michael Jackson said Tuesday he had a sufficient pool of about 250 prospective jurors willing to sit through the projected six-month trial, moving jury selection along more quickly than expected.

I just noticed something about Google Adsense. First, there are suddenly more "o"'s in "Google." Look ot the right. It used to be spelled normally.

Second, click on the "Ads by Goooooogle" link and you'll be taken to a page where:

Google would like to know what you think of these ads. Please provide your feedback by filling out this form

Did it always do that?

New kind of web ads

New kind of web ads 01/17/2004 11:21 PM

Web ad sales to hit $6.9 billion [CNET News.com - The Net]

I sat in a meeting today discussing new kinds of ad sales.  There are people out there who will pay real money (apparently as much as $6.9B this year) to put pixels in front of your face that have hot zones to click on.  These pixels, usually form the pattern of text or images that represent products, services or brands.

So how can we take all the pent up energy, potential and creativity of teh past 15 years - and do somethign creative with this potential - besides swinging Spiderman interstitials?

:-)

What I'm doing is incredibly fun!  I can't believe i get paid for doing what I love to do more than anything else (except make babies!)  But I AM making a baby - a new kind of.....

OOOoppps.  Sorry I can't tell you or else I'd have to kill you.  Needless to say what we're doing includes new kinds of 'Web Ads'.

A different kind of May day

A different kind of May day 05/01/2004 12:38 AM
First of May is always a big celebration in Finland, especially among students. Traditions go rampant, all who are able to get out to party (except for the most hardened cynics), alcohol is consumed in alarmingly large quantities, and the entire city of Helsinki becomes one giant outdoor toilet. It is the celebration of life and the end of winter.

This morning, 50,000 people gather in the Helsinki Kaisaniemi park to eat breakfast, drink champagne, and enjoy the sun.

Me?

I'm watching Teletubbies with my niece. And chatting with one-syllable words.

And can't really say that it's a bad thing either.

I think Halle Berry is sexy, particularly her face, voice, and, er, you know what.  But I didn't think her nose was that particularly good looking until I saw her Catwoman photos like the one above.  Isn't it amazing how hiding the nose under the mask changes her overall look?  She doesn't look like Halle Berry at all.  Even her you know what looks less attractive.  Weird.

I filed this post under Technical category for obvious reasons.

Betting it all on AdSense

Betting it all on AdSense 07/01/2004 01:38 PM
"I run a high volume web site that has been up and going for about a year and a half now. Until the start of this year I was relying on donations and my own bank balance to keep the site going. This became harder as time went on and the site became more popular - until the day I discovered AdSense."

Adsense Article

Adsense Article 03/14/2005 06:07 PM

Google's AdSense a bonanza for some Web sites: An article about AdSense that states numbers, which is rare:

Tales of AdSense riches range from a few hundred dollars a month to $50,000 or more a year, though high-dollar paydays are rare. They require a Web site with tons of traffic and the ability to put in 18-hour days working the system. [...]

In his first four months of Web publishing, AdSense brought in $45,000. Some of his blogs produce $3,000 a month. His best do "four figures," Calacanis says, though he's reluctant to fill in the exact numbers. "And that's with zero marketing," he says.

There are some detractors:

"This is a program that rewards people not for creating the best content, but for how to create sites to attract more advertising," says Danny Sullivan, editor of Search Engine Watch online newsletter. "AdSense has nothing to do with search. It effectively turns the Internet into a billboard for Google's ads."

I've been happy with the program, and that's all I think I'm allowed to say about it.

AdSense and Borders

AdSense and Borders 04/01/2005 11:48 AM

If you have Google Adsense on your site, here is the best piece of advice I can give you: don't put borders around your ads. I had a border around my skyscraper banner on the right here, so it sat in its own little box.

A friend told me to take the border off. I figured it couldn't hurt to try it, so I made the border white, so it just fades into the background. Nothing else was changed. I did it in the middle of the month, so the first half was with the border, the second half without.

The result in terms of clickthrough rate?

With border: 1.62%
Without border: 2.76%

That's a seventy percent increase.

Google AdSense 02/01/2005 09:42 PM

As some of you that physically visit the site versus pulling the info from a Aggregator can see we have added Google AdSense ads to the website. This is to help me cover rising hosting cost, and also to pay for some of the major improvements to the site design that are being tested on prototype website. We will be rolling out Geek News Central Version 2.0 in the near future.

We want to continue to thank each and one of you for having Geek News Central on your reading list.

I was contacted by Google which saved me having to go through the approval process and we want to thank Jonas for getting us setup. I will be playing with the ad placement over the next few weeks.

So don't be surprised if you see ads pop up now and then. No, I don't need the money. Heck, I don't expect to make enough to matter, but I have some ideas that I can probably use to greatly reduce the annoyance factor for my regular visitors/readers. It'll...

AdSense for Domains

AdSense for Domains 06/05/2005 11:47 PM

Google AdSense for domains: Domain squatters, your AdSense program has arrived. Apparently it keys off the domain name itself, since there's nothing else on the page.

AdSense for domains allows domain name registrars and large domain name holders to unlock the value in their parked page inventory. AdSense for domains delivers targeted, conceptually related keywords and advertisements to parked domain name pages by using Google's semantic technology to "understand" the meaning of each domain name.
