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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

AdSense Gets You Indexed Faster


AdSense Gets You Indexed Faster 03/24/2005 04:07 PM

Here's something that may not be common knowledge to a lot of people: having Google Adsense ads on your page gets you indexed faster. Here's why:

I made a post the other night about the PHP templating language Smarty. I published it in Movable Type, then viewed the permalink page. I'm quite sure I was the first one to view the permalink page.

The AdSense ads took longer than normal to pop-up — perhaps five full seconds. When they did show up, they were for ColdFusion hosting providers. This fits since I mentioned ColdFusion in several places in the text of the entry.

But think about what happened. The JavaScript on the page contacted Google for ads. Google realized it did not have this page in its index — remember the page was only published 10 seconds prior. So Google indexed the page that very second to determine what ads needed to be returned to the AdSense JavaScript. Essentially, the appearance of AdSense ads on the page forced Google to index the page right at that moment.

Getting a benefit from this assumes, of course, that the AdSense subsystem in Google then "hands off" the results of its page processing to the main Google index. But why wouldn't it?

Again, this may be old news, but this entry jumped to number one on Google for the phrase "Tivo Effect" in less than 48 hours. That doesn't seem natural to me.
