Google Adsense College

Why should I monetize my website?

The more success you have with your blog / website, the more time and money you’re going to invest to update it and host it properly.

At some point you may think: wouldn’t it just be nice to have my site pay for itself?

Well, that is actually easier to achieve than it sounds! A decent hosting plan should cost you no more than $6.95/month. However, that’s quite a low figure here and most people make many many times more than that in ad revenue…

By properly monetizing your blog site it is actually possible to have it pay, not only for the hosting, but also for the time you spend working on it.

Why AdSense?

First, because AdSense is a very simple and proven solution that already pays for hundreds of thousands of blogs/websites accross the world!

Also, AdSense is provided to you by Google which not only makes it reliable but also trustworthy. Once you have earned money from Google, you can actually trust them to pay it to you!

Finally, because the ads will be contexual, i-e they will be relevant to the content of your blog/site. This way, your visitors will not be offended for seeing the ads on your site.

The tools used for navigation and exploration are fraught with
metaphorical possibility. A compass or telescope can be a powerful
symbol for search, discovery, and the fearless embrace of the
unknown. A map can tell you where you are, give you an idea of what
lies ahead, and even better, give scale and breadth to your
location. Maps connect us with the world in a way that is tangible,
visual and now, even href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/map-making-so-easy-caveman-could-do-it.html"
id="bfmg" >interactive.

And for any of the myriad places you can point to on a map, there
are traditions, stories, pictures and memories — each is as unique
and fascinating as its teller. For this year's holiday season
we've created a href="http://maps.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=68480"

id="wh_h" >video and stories that illuminate something about
how you celebrate. Your stories can make for a considerably bigger
map than any featuring geopolitical boundaries and highway markers;
they can mark a human space of Chanukah candles, Christmas trees,
family feasts and reunions great and small. We look forward to
seeing how you make your mark.

The holiday season is a time for reuniting with friends and family,
reveling in href="http://books.google.com/books?q=christmas stories&btnG=Search Books"
id="s7x2" >stories and sentimentalities, cozying up to a cup of
warm cocoa, listening to a fire slowly pop and fizzle. It's a
time when we ease ourselves out of our href="http://www.google.com/calendar/" id="it0v" >routines, and
have a moment to share our joys with those who are nearest to us.
And the season affords us a unique opportunity to step back and
empathize with people who face hardships href="http://www.mdgmonitor.org/"
id="x5ph" >throughout the world.

This season, Googlers everywhere are not only celebrating the joys
of the holidays; quite a few of us have joined together to give
back to our href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=community service&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=29.384021,69.257813&ie=UTF8&mrt=kmlkmz&view=text"
id="jx0r" >local communities. Whether it's helping kids
craft public service announcements, contributing to href="http://www.mytwofrontteeth.org/google"
id="tztk" >toy drives, gathering donations for food banks,
working with high schoolers on their college apps, writing get-well
cards for sick children, or pitting teams of chefs against one
another for charity, Googlers have made it a point to get
creative.

We've assembled pictures from these events in this album, and
encourage you href="http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=community service&btnG=Google Search"
id="wxem" >to find a way to give back in your own
community.

It's that time again, the end of a year - time to tote up
Google's blogging activity for the last 365 days. First, a few
bits of data about this particular blog:

Number of posts this year: 300

New product announcements: 15 (not counting our

href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/April 1"
id="arw6" >April 1 release)

Beyond these basics, this year saw many more posts on privacy (9),
href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/accessibility"
id="q2e_" >accessibility (10), and

href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/environment"
id="w10l" >energy and the environment (11). We blogged a good
deal about Google's href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/googlers and culture"
id="r7nx" >people and culture, our various offices around the
world, and the pastimes and passions of Googlers (26, including 2
href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/recipe"
id="v-ic" >recipes). We talked about

href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/healthcare"
id="ecq0" >healthcare issues that challenge consumers (5). There
were competitions including Google Code Jam and events for
developers, educators and others (29). Through YouTube, there has
been much href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/politics"
id="eutf" >political activity (7) in the U.S. as well as in

href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/11/australias-election-map-redrawn.html"
id="olp8" >Australia.

The posts that elicited the most reaction in terms of views and
linkbacks include:

- the much-discussed href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/11/wheres-my-gphone.html"
id="pii." >"Gphone" news
- our thinking about the upcoming href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/11/whos-going-to-win-spectrum-auction.html#links"

id="m0x8" >Knol test project
- building href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/12/build-your-own-google-homepage.html"
id="c6w-" >your own Google homepage

Of course, there's more than business to write about. We
celebrated href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/office-of-apes.html"
id="yir4" >National Gorilla Suit Day,

href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/strawberries-are-red-stems-are-green.html"
id="m.xv" >deconstructed the Valentine's Day doodle, and
then href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/snakes-in-plain-old-office-building.html"
id="clv." >a snake went missing.

As for the Google family of blogs, there's been lots of growth
this year: 42 new ones launched, for a total to 83
active company blogs. Increasingly, Googlers want to quickly and
regularly convey product news and updates to various constituents,
and blogs are a great way to do that. Among the most popular of
this newest crop are the href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/" id="fn2q" >Gmail blog
(nearly 1.5 million unique visitors), the Orkut blogs (in href="http://en.blog.orkut.com/"
id="ecs7" >English - 3.5 million uniques; and href="http://blog.orkut.com/"
id="dm6w" >Portuguese - 8.8 million), and href="http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/"
id="q5yh" >Google Lat Long, with 824,000 unique visitors, which
covers everything geographical. In addition, readers can now turn
to new product blogs including those for href="http://googlefinanceblog.blogspot.com/" id="mij." >Google
Finance, href="http://googlenewsblog.blogspot.com/" id="ogeg" >Google
News, and href="http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/" id="yiu4" >Mobile.
Reflecting keen interest in activity outside the U.S., the YouTube
blog had the greatest number of comments for its

href="http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=ktewBXNbyTw" id="ftjw" >June
post about the fact that YouTube is available in 9 more
countries, followed by the August post

href="http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=rQpNsTzbgqM"
id="wbkt" >announcing InVideo ads.

On the ads side: there are now 6 more non-English blogs for AdSense
publishers ( href="http://adsense-fr.blogspot.com/" id="zsf6" >French, href="http://adsense-tr.blogspot.com/"
id="o_ss" >Turkish, href="http://adsense-ja.blogspot.com/" id="obdv" >Japanese, href="http://adsense-ko.blogspot.com/"
id="a8.y" >Korean, href="http://it-adsense.blogspot.com/" id="q-m0" >Italian, href="http://adsense.googlechinablog.com/"
id="s1wm" >Chinese). The AdWords team opened blogs for href="http://adwords-br.blogspot.com/"
id="bost" >Brasil and the href="http://adwords-nl.blogspot.com/" id="hjnp" >Netherlands,
Japan now has href="http://analytics-ja.blogspot.com/" id="m0ma" >its own
Analytics blog, and there are now href="http://googlewebmastercentral-de.blogspot.com/"
id="ya-8" >German and href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/"
id="v6nl" >Chinese versions of the popular

href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/"
id="xksc" >Webmaster Central. (The most popular ads-related blog
is the one for href="http://analytics.blogspot.com/" id="s-b." >Analytics, with
nearly half a million unique visitors, followed by closely href="http://adsense.blogspot.com/"
id="n7.u" >Inside AdSense and then href="http://adwords.blogspot.com/" id="nase" >Inside
AdWords.)

To keep current and share their work, developers got a raft of new
blogs, too, including those focused on APIs for href="http://apiblog.youtube.com/" id="c7oj" >YouTube, href="http://googlecheckoutapi.blogspot.com/"
id="x3qt" >Checkout, href="http://gearsblog.blogspot.com/" id="nxwq" >Gears, href="http://googlemashupeditor.blogspot.com/"
id="eo80" >Mashup, and href="http://googlegadgetsapi.blogspot.com/" id="rdpp" >Gadgets.
Needless to say, there are now also blogs for href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/"
id="q9s:" >Android and href="http://opensocialapis.blogspot.com/"
id="bwub" >OpenSocial.

Two new country blogs, for the href="http://google-cz.blogspot.com/" id="s:og" >Czech Republic
and id="k.4." >Australia, went public, to talk about all things
Google in their regions. Yet more readers congregated around the
new href="http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/" id="kj:o" >Public
Policy and id="zawg" >Google.org blogs, as well as one dedicated to

href="http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/" id="utt." >online
security and malware.

Despite all this activity, and the fact that a growing number of
companies also host corporate blogs, the

href="http://www.socialtext.net/bizblogs/index.cgi"
id="zdsn" >Fortune 500 Business Blogging Wiki (a
collaborative project begun by Wired Magazine and SocialText)
indicates that even today, just 46 of the Fortune 500 companies
(about 9%), have active public blogs produced by company employees
that focus on the company and its products. Let's hope in 2008
that number goes up. We think such blogs can serve users,
journalists, critics, investors, and fans more effectively and
directly than more traditional approaches. Apparently, so do
41,395,926 people around the world - the number of visitors to all
of our blogs this year.

>Earlier on this blog, we shared some exciting
early results from our firm's implementation of href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_market"
>prediction markets. At href="http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AEA/Annual_Meeting/index.htm"
>last Friday's meeting of the href="http://www.aeaweb.org/" >American Economic
Association, we shared the results of a deeper study, " href="http://services.google.com/blog_resources/google_prediction_market_paper.pdf" >
Using Prediction Markets to Track Information Flows: Evidence From
Google," that uses prediction markets to show how
organizations process information and respond to external events.
Here are some interesting findings:

Traders in the same location tend to make the same trades at
the same time. The trades of cubemates within a small radius is
the best predictor we found. By using a record of historical office
changes, we could observe that the correlation begins shortly after
people are seated nearby. It makes sense, because the physical
proximity enables easy communication. As Eric Schmidt (our CEO) and
Hal Varian (now our Chief Economist) href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10296177/site/newsweek/print/1/displaymode/1098/"
id="ha2h" >advised in 2005: "The best way to make
communication easy is to put team members within a few feet of each
other. No telephone tag, no e-mail delay, no waiting for a
reply." As you can see below, our finding about the importance
of proximity holds, even once we account for many other
factors.
Although we did find strong correlations among professional
and social contacts, these were substantially weaker than the
correlations for micro-geography. We also measured the
influence that people on similar projects, in similar places in the
organization and with similar demographic characteristics exert on
each other. This helped establish that geographic proximity — and
not some other type of similarity — was responsible for the
correlations we saw.

Despite the markets' href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/09/putting-crowd-wisdom-to-work.html"
>strong forecasting abilities, there is a
slight optimistic bias driven mainly by new employees. On
average, outcomes that were good for Google were overpriced by 20%.
This bias was strongest on days after appreciations in href="http://finance.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=GOOG"
>Google stock and, ironically, for outcomes
under our own control! We also find biases against extreme outcomes
and >short selling. Given a range of five outcomes,
the middle ones were typically overpriced and unprofitable by
comparison with the outliers.

Although the proof is in the paper, nothing quite helps like a
graphic. Below you can see a snapshot of trading in one of our
offices. The areas where employees are making profitable decisions
is green, and the areas where employees are making unprofitable
decisions is red. There are about 16 profitable traders in that big
green blotch in the middle!

When normally we are using a Blog, no matter be to use software of which kinds of Blog, can offer a few kinds of Feed export way. For instance now ” SEOThe website is optimizedPromotion ” uses MovableType included Atom, RSS, a variety of formats such as RSS2, when installing Blog, best make choice of a kind, regard the exclusive Feed of Blog as the address, I recommend use Atom format.

This does not have a problem. Problem or in giving the page in Blog, head information is incorrect, some things were not revised, still be the Feed address of Blog oneself, such word, when the reader subscribes to with Blog URL, can use the Feed of Blog oneself, and won’t use your fire. It is good to cite a case. What the Blog system place of this station generates is Http://seo.g2soft.net/atom.xml after passing Feedsky fire, become Http://feed.feedsky.com/seoseo to be in all Blog pages, delete the code of concerned Feed, add this code < in the Header part of home page next! - - FEED discovers automatically label begin- -><link Title= "RSS 2.0" type= "application/rss xml" href=http://seo.g2soft.net/ "http://feed.feedsky.com/seoseo" rel= "alternate" />< ! - - FEED discovers number ends automatically- ->Finally, in side column, place obtain Widget code from Feedsky tiring-room.

If want to evaluate a Blog,considering these days high grade, whether be valuable, can find out a few quantities to change index to come. 1) the Feed subscription number of Blog. 2) the person be visited directly of Blog. This index can see from inside website statistic, those input a website directly, calculate inside with the caller that comes over from the favorite, the amount in going 1 year. 3) the comment number of Blog. 4) the exterior link amount of Blog. 3. And 4 I feel to need to appoint a time paragraph, for instance the comment inside 180 days of recent is counted, the closest perhaps inside 180 days those who increase outside catenary amount. If look purely from sheer number, some open prior Blog to be able to hold natural dominant position. But take no account of Blog open time to accumulate inequitable also. So 1234 above, in augment at 2 o’clock. 1) the number of Feed total subscription of Blog. 2) the person be visited directly of Blog. 3) the general comment of Blog considers number. 4) the amount of all and exterior link of Blog. 5) go 180 days, increases criticism is counted. 6) go 180 days, increases exterior link. Besides, still those can use those who judge the quality of a Blog?
