Google Adsense: Optmization Essentials

Google is so fun. They've been putting together these cute short videos on how to increase your Adsense earnings. I love a business with a sense of humor. Who am I kidding, I love Google. All things Google. If I could I'd work for them. I did actually work for them at one time when they had what was called "Google Experts". They would pay you for answering questions for people. They did away with the service a few years ago but I was honored to be chosen for the program in the first place.


Anyway, today's video discusses positioning and how you have to place your ads above the fold in order to be seen and get those clicks rolling. Enjoy!

Article Submitter Review

While article submission isn't anything shockingly new to the world of SEO, many people STILL don't do it... and for good reason. It takes so incredibly long to do manually.

I'll admit, I had tried article submission at one point, but after I finally found a few article dircetories to submit my articles to, and then after manually copying and pasting my information into the required textboxes on each submission site, I quickly realized that my time could be better spent doing something else.

Then I came across a free program created by Brad Callen and Bryxen Software, Inc. that allows you to automatically submit your articles to hundreds of article directories with a few mouse clicks. Basically all I had to do was input my article criteria into the software, ONCE! Then, the program would automatically fill in all of the required data at each of the submission websites. Pretty incredible if you ask me.

The only part I didn't understand was why the program is free... but I can't argue with that I suppose.

The software currently contains around 700 article directories, all free to submit your articles to. It is the most straightforward program that we've come across, in that all you need to do is:

1. Input your article details (i.e. title, article body, bio, etc.) into the software
2. Click on the directory you want to submit to

And then the program will automatically fill in your article details. Then, you simply click the submit button and your article is instantly submitted to the directory. Then, you can move to the next directory, go through the list, and by the time you're finished you'll have roughly 700 one way links pointing to your website.

I can't think of an easier way to get links. Of course, if you're going to get links this quickly, it's important to submit different variations of your articles, to make things look more natural to the search engines.

You can do this very easily via Article Submitter when you create your project in the beginning.

The software is constantly being updated and their is an incredible community of users established that all work together to make the software better and better, so you know you're getting great value for the money.

"Advertise on Amazon with ClickRiver Ads"

I have to admit it. I'm a book junkie. I absolutely love books. Some people get excited by shoes or clothing - for me it's the printed word on paper. It's crazy I know. And like me, people who love books, love Amazon. It's your one stop shop when it comes to book buying. In the "old days", books were all they sold, now they also sell movies, music, digital downloads, computers, electronics, home & garden, groceries, apparel, and much more.

With such a broad shopping base, it should be no surprise that they receive more than 47 million visitors per month. Now that's a lot of traffic. No one does it quite like Amazon. Not only are their visitors Internet savvy, but they're in what's known as "shopping mode", not just "search mode" -which means they're actually looking to purchase something. This is considered to be a more engaged type of browser.

According to Amazon, the visitors to their site have the following stats in common:

72% Are Online Daily
81% More Likely to Give Shopping Advice
33% Are Business Purchase Decision Makers

If you'd like to "cash in" on these demographics and run your ads on Amazon's website, now you can. Amazon's shopping search is powered by A9.com (also owned by Amazon) and they offer their own pay-per-click advertising called "ClickRiver Ads". With this service you can place "sponsored links" on Amazon's search results and product detail pages.

So where do your ads appear? Text ads appear at the bottom of the pages that have related products to what it is you are advertising. For example, say you sell "computer training services". Your ads might appear on search results pages for laptops or even desktop computers.

When registering with ClickRiver, you'll bid on keywords just as you do with any pay-per-click search engine, but you'll also need to choose a category that best fits the services you offer.

Here are a few of the current categories available:

- Home Service Businesses
- Health and Fitness Services
- Education Providers
- Professional Services
- Automotive Services
- Pet Services.....

and many more. If you don't see an appropriate category for what you're offering you can suggest it using the link on this page http://tinyurl.com/59vuny

As with any pay-per-click program, you only pay for actual click-throughs to your website. Keep in mind that the higher you bid the more likely your ads will appear on a page. Daily budgets can also be set and ad campaigns can be started or stopped at will.

Another nice feature is the ability to target a specific geographic area. You can choose to target by zip code or country or anything in between.

For more information or to register go to:

In conclusion, the traffic on Amazon is an educated group of people earning an above average salary. They also are using the net daily and researching and buying products online. If you'd like to tap into the power of Amazon's strong demographics, ClickRiver's your answer.

Google Says "Bigger is Better"

As a woman I've always known "bigger is better", but now Google has announced to to the world. Sorry guys. It's true. If you're using Google Adsense on any of your sites and your earnings aren't what they use to be you might want to try a bigger size. Per Google the larger sized ads that get the best results are: * 300x250 medium rectangle * 728x90 leaderboard * 160x600 skyscraper- Take a look at this cute little vidoe they've put together. Say it with me "We Love Google"...."All Hail Google".
