Site traffic is the most important part of having an online business. If you haven't got traffic then you haven't got a business. Traffic drives a customer to view your website look at the products on offer and possibly make a purchase.
A sale means you are starting to create an income for yourself. But this is not the end of the matter, after sales is equally important and emails promoting new products are essential for generating future business and sales. It is important to create a desire in people viewing your site to want to have that item or the lifestyle and building a relationship isn't easy but if you consistently send them newsletters and add personal info about yourself so that they can see that a real and genuine person is corresponding with them this will give you credibility which is very important. But I am leaping ahead and what we need to do is focus on us getting the traffic in the first instance.
All types of advertising need to be done. Classified Ads online, newspapers, handing out business cards, sending emails to all your contacts, advertising on traffic sites, the list is never ending. But these all need to be done so that your website is getting a wide coverage.
Joining forums and other communities spreads the word, writing articles can lead traffic to your site. Use Viral Marketing, exchange and trade links with other sites, it is mind-blowing and it could drive you to distraction but you need to stay focused.
You know how to eat an elephant don't you? ONE BITE AT A TIME and that is what I am learning to do with all of this information. One thing at a time. I have been promoting the http://www.24hourwebcash.com/baker0870 website through constant advertising online and from the stats on the website it is filtering through. Not only that but my earnings have increased with Google Adsense. I have now earned £2.63 and I only opened the Google Adsense account in late July. You may laugh and scoff but to me this has been a monumental step in my determination to make a living from my online businesses.
I can see that if I intensify the advertising and the traffic to my sites that I will be able to generate more earnings through Google Adsense.
I have placed 4 traffic website links above.
I use all of these and many more but as I keep looking at this elephant … lets take it step by step. You will need to join all of these. Just click on the banners and they will take you through to the relevant sites.
List Auction – is a list-building and traffic-generating system that helps you build an enormous list of double opt-in prospects looking at your offers. It's FREE to join! You click on links that earn you credits and these credits can then be used to send out an email to all their members on a weekly basis. They have some great tools and videos with easy to follow steps.
Fwebtraffic – This system is free, is viral and fully automated. You place a text advert on this site and then when someone else join their marketing system they have to click on yours and 5 other adverts and view them for about 15 seconds. All the instructions are very clear on how the system works.
TrafficSwarm – A FREE Traffic Generated system. Sign up, view other sites click and earn credits and you can place your ads into your FREE account and when others click on your website the credits are deducted.
Link Referral – There is free traffic, reviews and more on this site. Have you got a blog, website, personal page or affiliate link? You can promote all of these on Link Referral. You receive written visitor feedbacks on this site. Again it is FREE to join.
This is what all those others marketers have done to drive traffic to their websites and this is exactly what Donna and I are doing each and every day. No slacking you can't afford to stop... no trafficking means no sales means no earnings. The math is quite simple really.
More from me in a couple of days.

Make Money Online
Its been a hectic 2 days since I last wrote. Donna has added pages to her website http://www.donnabarker.ws. It is a Global Domains International website and she has found them very helpful when she has sent them questions and they have been very quick in responding, with clear and precise steps for her to follow.
Nothing is ever straight forward but she has kept at it and has done a great job. She has added 4 pages one is called Make Money Online which gives information about the latest internet business we have recently become involved with. I might add that I am only going to give you a brief overview here and you are very welcome to call in and have a look at the website yourself. Donna is a complete novice, never having built a website at all but she is managing to add the pages so do not fear if she can do it so can you!!
The second page she has added is about Traffic Website featuring Fwebtraffic and The List Auction. Both have been used successfully to promote our sites to the point that we have earned commission with Google Adsense.
Another page is devoted to eBooks however she is having a problem loading the html code on to that page. On this page you will also see a link for WebRing a social networking site.
Last but not least is the page promoting my Blogs. There is this one and another http://www.petesbusinessopportunity.blogspot.com
It really has been an enjoyable journey so far. I thought a mouse was a dirty creature that ate my crumbs and as for a memory stick words fail me!! A keyboard I know about as my wife uses one, but Motherboard well she passed away last year. There's hardware and software, I was a builder so I know where the hardware store is, floppy disks - well we wont go there or CD's and DVD's.
As you can tell I am in no way what you might say a Techo!! but we are still learning and although it is very frustrating and time consuming I am determined to break out of the restraints that lie within and take myself to frontiers where no man has ever been before, well not this one anyway!!

Where to Place Your Banner Ad
When you put time and money into having a banner ad created, you want it to be effective and drive potential customers to your site. Part of a successful ad is where you decide to place it. You must choose wisely based on several factors. When deciding where to place your banner advertising, you want to look at the following:
Content of the Site
When you decide to run a custom web banner, you want to aim to get your ad placed on a web site that has content similar to what you are selling. For instance, if you are selling an arthritis medication, then you want to get your ad placed on a site dealing with health care, health concerns or arthritis. The more the content is related to your ad, the better.
Site Statistics
We talked about this in an earlier post, but you want to check out the statistics of the web site you are thinking about placing your banner ad on. Good statistics to know are the CPM, CTR and the traffic of that particular web site.
Location on the Actual Web Page
Generally banner ad advertising is the most effective when it is placed at the top of the web page. Aim to get your ad placed near the top, or as the top ad on the page.
Other Banner Ads on the Web Page
Finally, when looking at web sites to run your banner ad advertising, you want to look for web sites that don't have a lot of other ads. Think about it, when you are reading through a site and it is covered in ads, does it make you want to read each ad and click on one? No. So why would you want your ad to get caught in the jumble? Ideally, you want your banner ad to be the only one on a particular page.

Advertising
Everyone should have a budget for their advertising. Budgeting monthly is probably more manageable and you can keep control much better, especially if you are new like me. I do not have a great deal of disposable income and I dare say a large majority of people are the same.
Your budget may be $100, $50 or $5, like me there may be times when it is $0, however much you have, it is more important that you make it work as hard as possible for you.
Use the google search engine for Classified Advertising, ads on-line or FREE Advertising and you will get lots of leads to follow up.
A word of warning....I have found that when it says FREE it is not always FREE!! You go on to the site, set up a free account, completing an on-line form, place the ad and then you find that you have to pay a nominal amount to proceed. I wish there was more honesty on the internet!! If you are required to pay why not say it upfront. I wouldn't necessarily be put off if it said from the outset that there was $39, $19 etc. to pay.
One ad I clicked on requested payment of $1. I duly completed the on-line form, clicked to pay the $1 then it came up with add-ons and I couldn't close the site down. There were in fact 2 more add-ons.
This is time consuming so don't forget to make a note of the website addresses that you are unable to use so that if you come across the site again you will know to avoid it thus saving yourself quite a lot of time and energy and frustration.
It is a good idea to set up a database with relevant information for each advertisement you have placed. Basic stuff you might think but hindsight is a wonderful thing and more often than not we get caught up and carried along when placing ads and find that we can't quite remember what we have done and where we have done it, let alone what user name we used and the password to go with it.
So on the spreadsheet have a column for the name of the advertising company/traffic exchange, website address, user name, password, email address used, membership number, affiliate number, what ad you have placed, the business promoted and the final column should have the expiry date of the ad placed. Colour code these for each months' expiry date, it will be easier to check up on what needs to be renewed. (i.e. red for January, green for February, yellow for March, etc you get the idea). A column stating amount paid or free will help with the additions so you wont blow the budget.
Another tip from me... set up a google mail account or other especially for advertising. You could use the name of your blog as the account name, if you are promoting debt, then you could try getdebtfree@ you get my drift and use that when setting up the adverts and use the same user name and password for everything then you are less likely to forget them.
On the other hand if you have many websites a general term may be better i.e. joinpeter@ or workwithme@ or information4u@.
Keep away from using your private email address because once you start setting up advertisements you will find that there will be a snowball effect and you will start receiving emails from people wanting information, others may want see if you would like to advertise with them, there may be one or two cranks aswell. If you use a traffic site you will immediately be bombarded by emails from their membership with links for you to look at. You can sometimes reciprocate and send them information about your business.
All this does take time but we have seen an increase in traffic to one of our sites since we started promoting it this way.
Do not forget the importance of a using keywords in your advertising, headlines with 2-3 keywords in the title will get picked up by the search engines. A keyword loaded headline like – make money online had 110,000 searches in July, make money had 673,00, making money had 246,000, how to make money had 165,000.

MONEY EARNED THROUGH ADSENSE
Google AdSense is on my website http://www.24hourwebcash.com/baker0870 and on this Blog. I have been busy reading everything I can about Google AdSense as I have got some earnings through it and would like to increase what I have earned and done so far. Your earnings are based on page impressions and clicks, so the number of visitors to your web page or blog is very important. The more visitors you get, the more you will be able to earn.
Do you know how much people generally earn from Google AdSense? I have read that if you get 1000 visitors per day, you may earn $1 to $3 per day. However, looking at my stats I have done better than that.
I know the adverts say that you can earn $1000 daily but I feel that you need to learn quite a lot before you start earning money frequently. You also need to be spending a lot of time promoting, writing and reading as much as you can.
In the following table you will see my earnings:-
View: Today Yesterday Last 7 days this month - August last month - July All time
Page impressions Clicks Page CTR Page eCPM [?] Earnings
AdSense for Content top channels 68 4 5.88% UK£4.72 UK£0.32
So there has been 68 page impressions and 4 clicks to earn me 32 pence.
All I have to do now is keep on with the online advertising and posting to my Blog and I should increase that amount, sending out emails and everything else I am doing.
Of course the secret is in advertising and promoting and then getting people to follow me through this Blog.
This is a truly amazing way to earn and I intend to keep at it till I earn money regularly.

GOD SAVE OUR Google Adsense Account
I know I am a day early with this post but just had to tell you our news....A while ago at the request of Mary Gersten through her video tutorials we signed up for a Google Adsense Account through this blog and although we have been working in the blind so to speak as we have not done anything like this before we are pleased to anounce that we have earned 13 pence.
Some may scoff at this meagre amount but to us it marks a turning point as we have earned - YES EARNED and the first thing we are going to do is learn more about Google Adsense so that we can increase the amount.
Things are beginning to happen; just need to understand what, how, why, when and where like all good journalists.

Always look on the bright side......
Today I got up thinking what am I doing here, what direction should I be taking to help my search for making money while doing home working, the usual stuff really. My thoughts are that I want to become successful and lead the life that others only dream about and to that end I am absorbing everything I can about the methods used to get traffic to my website, to load up with keywords and to get that elusive adsense code working in my favour.
Today I have copied an item on positive thinking and since reading it I have realised that I am very fortunate as I enjoy what I am doing, I can work at my own pace and lets face it not everyone can say that.
The True Power of Positive Thinking
The power of optimism is not a new subject. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author of "The Power Of Positive Thinking," became a pioneer in the self-improvement industry. He helped millions to believe in themselves and achieve success and happiness by harnessing the power of positive thinking coupled with positive action. He taught that the mental attitude of seeing the bright side of life is just another word for faith and is a topic that is always wrapped together with spiritual cultivation.
Positive thinking is one of the most important things you need to practice throughout your life. It is a way of living and a technique that you need to incorporate into your daily life if you have any intentions of changing things or accomplishing your goals.
When our attitude and behavior is positive, we allow only pleasant feelings and constructive images to work in our mind. We also visualize in our inner eye, what we really want from our life and how it should happen.
Although the mind is naturally predisposed to positive thinking, it doesn't like to change its thought patterns, and often subconsciously sabotages any attempts for looking on the bright side. When it's not natural, but forced, the results, at best, will be limited, temporary, and self-deluding. The true power of positive thinking is that it allows you to live life to its fullest potential without letting negativity bring you down.
Start with this simple exercise: Every evening, reflect on the positives of the day. Optimism is a mind-set that you must nurture like growing flowers. People with a positive frame of mind think about possibilities, growth, expansion and success.
Positive thinking is a huge personal asset and the key to success. Changing your attitude to look at the positive side of every situation is the best thing you could ever learn to do.

Our current position....
Wow this is exhausting but FUN. All this learning leaves me wondering just what I have let myself in for...
Today I have been through the ezine article site and lifted the following articles as they describe what I have been trying to explain -
Get Traffic With SEO Thinking
The Best SEO Tools - Knowledge & Common Sense
We are making progress and have got to the stage where we are promoting our websites through this blog, classified ads - making sure we use the best keywords we can, traffic sites and via the postal service. We have learnt that we need to do a bit of everything in the hope that we will make our way onto the search engines sometime in the future.
We are currently concentrating on RSS feeds to promote this blog - where do we start with this one? Part of our time, in fact most of our time, is spent reading everything we can lay our hands on. A lot of it is hype but its the facts that we need. Most of it seems very basic but understanding it is an altogether different matter however some people really do try and help you by explaining things simply. We find great difficulty in doing the most basic things first time as the instructions given are not particularly clear, more truthfully the instructions are beyond our capabilities. It takes a great deal of time and patience which does wear thin at times.
But we are in this for the long haul and we are determined to learn about RSS feeds, promoting the blog more effectively and keeping up with the adverts that we have placed.
We are also still waiting for the Google Adsense Code to be embedded on our websites which should mean then when promoting our sites we should start earning from people going on to the sites. Again all this has to be learnt as we are unsure of what needs to be done and where to start to get the best effect.
So we will continue telling you our story and look forward to some feedback and perhaps what you have been doing and how you started.

Get Traffic With SEO Thinking
To get traffic to your website, you have to understand how Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, works. To understand SEO you need to understand how search engines work. To put it bluntly search engines have workers and thinkers, spiders and indexers. The spiders collect as many documents as they can and brings them to the indexer. The indexers 'reads' them and then applies an algorithm to the TEXT ONLY, very important to remember, and awards it a score in order to present only relevant search results. The key then to applying SEO effectively is to write content with this algorithm in mind.
A SEO pro could easily take days of your time to discuss the ins and outs of search engine optimization. And since the algorithms for search engines change every now and then, they might have reason to have so much to say. In my opinion SEO should not take too much of your time really, it's always better to write compelling content for people as oppose to machines. If you remember the following 4 highlights you should do just fine in the long run.
So, mental note to self, remember the following 4 headlines:
• Keyword prominence
• Proximity
• Density
• Frequency
Keyword prominence is exactly what it says; make your keywords prominent. Put them at the top of every page, put them in the titles headers and in the first paragraph of your text. Apparently it's even important to put keywords at the start of a sentence. 'SEO I must learn', if you're a Star Wars fan. If you think about it, it actually makes sense. If you have a page with 'get traffic' in the name, 'get traffic in the title, and 'get traffic' mentioned numerously in the first paragraph, I'm guessing that the article is about getting traffic.
Keyword proximity refers to how close keywords are situated to each other. You must have heard of that age old saying: "Keywords of a feather flock together". This should actually come pretty naturally if you're writing about a certain subject.
Keyword frequency indicates to the search engine that you are staying on subject and that the whole article is definitely about 'get traffic'. This again makes a lot of sense, if you have a lot of 'get traffics' at the start of your article and none at the end then you may have lost the plot and the search engines don't like that. If you constantly refer to the same words then that article is probably about that subject and then relevant to the search.
Keyword density is a holistic view of your entire article and is measured as a percentage. This article is about 700 words long and 'get traffic' is mentioned about 10 times. That gives me a keyword density of 1.5% for the key phrase 'get traffic'. Because spammers, and especially pornographers, have caught on to this search engines probably flag sites that have ridicules keyword densities. The recommended density for your keywords should be in the range of 3-7%. Just as a side note, words such as 'is', 'our' and 'the' are not counted.
As you probably noticed all 4 of these SEO factors are rather closely related. And throughout this article we only used one key phrase, being 'get traffic'. Now imagine you had 10 keywords that you want to get ranked for. If you were too concerned about SEO, you would either write something that would make little sense to a real person, or simply considered spam. I said it once and I'll say it again: it's much better for your readers and your sanity just to produce good and accurate content. That's what really gets your traffic.
So, in a nutshell, you want to remember:
• Search engines only read text, so include at least 100 words in every page text
• Use keywords at the beginning of the page, paragraphs
• Place keywords close to each other
• Repeat keywords 3-7 times for every 100 words
• Get traffic

The Best SEO Tools - Knowledge & Common Sense
I want to preface my comments by saying I am always interested in keeping up with the latest trends in SEO and Search Engine marketing. Certainly there are many great thinkers and marketers with cutting edge ideas and concepts. However, over the past 15 years two things have remained the same. Knowledge and Common Sense have always produced results.
You can get overwhelmed with the 150+ items that Google looks at when ranking a site. You can read the pros and cons of page rank and get caught up in taking one side or another. In the end, it comes down to this; if you follow the top five rules, you will have success. The first issue with that is that most people do not know what those rules are (Lack of Knowledge). I am going to spell them for you here...not necessarily in order.
1. The Right Keyword(s) campaign
2. A URL or file name with those keywords: First word being the most important. Example: bankruptcy-attorney.com or bankruptcy-attorney.html
3. A Title rich in Keywords; There is a reason the word "Home" has such huge result numbers in the search engines. Most people make a homepage which they simple label HOME. How tragic is that?
4. Content rich in Keywords. Google would lead you to believe Content is King. Who am I to dispute? I will tell you is that it is a BOT that determines this. Content rich in Keywords is important. Spamming words does not work. My suggestion is write your own fresh content and when you are through writing go back through it and look for opportunities to use your keywords where they make sense. Hopefully this has happened naturally.
5. Link Popularity - The hardest one because it actually requires work. Reciprocal Links no longer work. Who links to you, and their importance are what matters most to the search engines.
Following these 5 rules will put you ahead of 90% of the field. That's 80% knowledge 10% common sense and the other 10% is skill.

Families and all that they bring
As I mentioned yesterday my nephews have been visiting. They adapt so quickly to new surroundings. They have been enjoying playing games on the computer and take everything in their stride.
They laugh at me and my wife as we struggle to get to grips with the latest technology. We have only just learned what a "DS" is. One of the boys is 5 and the other is 8. Cieran and Ryan are lovely lads and I can see over the coming years that nothing is going to faze them. They just embrace everything that is new and challenging.
Perhaps I should get them to teach us a few things about the internet!!
I am pleased to say that we have managed to upload the photos. I hope you enjoy looking at them and all I have to say is have a great weekend and I'll talk to you very soon.

Algorithms and more
We have had a hectic week this week as our two young nephews came to visit us. They go on the computer and do allsorts with it. They have no fear and laugh when things don't go right for me and my wife.
The image on the profile was a doddle to upload but adding an image to this post has been difficult and we have failed miserably. But we are determined and will try and learn all about adding images to the blog and will let you know how to do it once we have mastered the art.
My internet connection has been down for most of today which is a bit of a bummer. Have you ever felt like tearing your hair out well right now that’s how I feel!
I have searched and searched for information to explain what Algorithms are, there are many different types of Algorithms, too numerous to mention. I am only interested in the Algorithms relating to SEO’s. I have learnt that Algorithms process information through precise instructions with a precise list of precise steps and is then stored for further processing.
To recap on what we have covered so far, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of increasing the amount of visitors to a site by designing the site content so that the site ranks high in the search results of a search engine such as Google, Alta Vista, Bing, MSN, Ask, Lycos to name but a few.
The higher a Web site ranks in the results of a search, the greater the chance that a user will visit that site. We are all basically lazy and don't want to spend time clicking and scanning tons of pages of search results. It is critical where a site ranks in a web search for directing more traffic towards your site. SEO helps to make sure that a site is accessible to a search engine and improves the chances that the site will be found by the search engine.
A search engine sends out a spider to fetch as many documents as it can. Then another program, called an indexer, reads these documents and makes an index based on the words each document contains. Each search engine uses a unique proprietary Algorithm to create indexes so that hopefully only meaningful results are returned for each query.
These indexers compute the keyword density.
Keyword density refers to how often a certain word appears in a given document. It’s given as a percentage. Let’s say you have a site about baseball bats. A keyword density of 7% on “baseball” on that web page means that out of 1000 words, 70 of them are “baseball.”
The image on the profile was a doddle to upload but adding an image to this post has been difficult and we have failed miserably. But we are determined and will try and learn all about adding images to the blog and will let you know how to do it once we have mastered the art.

INDEXERS AND ALGORITHMS
As I have said before a spider finds websites/web pages once you have typed in a phrase or keyword, it then downloads and stores the page to another program, called an indexer. Everything has to be indexed otherwise chaos would reign. So every web page the spider collects with all the keywords and phrases that you have typed in for the search are stored altogether for future use.
The search engine sifts through the millions of pages recorded in the index to find matches to a search and ranks them in order of what it believes is most relevant.
Once the page is stored by the indexer HTML tags and store links are removed. The content of the page is then broken down and put into sections and is stored online in a database so that when you request a search on your keywords the results will come from there.
However it is much more involved than that and the following article will explain it more fully. I will chat about ALGORITHMS the next time I'm on this Blog.
"After a Search Engine spider or robot has found, downloaded and stored the page another program, called an indexer, processes the page using its own proprietary algorithm.
A search engine indexer will carve the page up into its various components removing all the HTML tags and store links in a queue. The contents of the meta keyword tag, description tag, titles, headings, links, body copy, bold, and italic are analysed. Some indexers compress the page by removing stop words; finally the much cut down page is stored in an online searchable database.
The indexer uses a complex mathematical formula or algorithm to analyse and weight key areas of a page. Every indexer uses a unique algorithm and these algorithms are constantly being modified and bettered by the search engines to filter out Spam and to ensure that the most relevant pages get better rankings.
Because of the unique nature of these algorithms a page 1 listing in Lycos does not guarantee a similar listing in Google or any other search engine."

More on KEYWORDS...
Today we are going to talk some more about keywords. This is a very interesting subject and one that we will all have to get to grips with. Keywords let the search engine know what topics are relevant to your site.
Try to be as specific as possible, and avoid overly broad keywords. The description provides an explanation of the content on your website. The description is often shown under the title of your website when it is listed on search engine results. Try to write the best description possible, since you are competing against all the other search engine results that the user sees!
"SEO" is the latest buzzword in marketing. It stands for "Search Engine Optimization" and focuses on getting more hits to your site through search engine result click. We all need visitors to our sites but the way we go about it is important and crucial to our success. SEO is the process of increasing the amount of visitors to a site by designing the site content so that the site ranks high in the search results of a search engine.
An easy way to improve your site's ranking on the search engines is to write a good title that will catch the eyes of your prospects.
Obviously the higher a Web Site ranks in the results of a search the greater the chance that a user will visit the site. People are basically lazy and if it isn't there in front of them at the touch of a click they will not search.
It is crucial where a site ranks when a web search is being carried out and important as WE NEED more traffic to be directed to our sites. The SEO helps to make sure that a site is accessible to a search engine and improves the chances that the site will be found by the search engine.
As we have already said spiders are at work. When we type in a word or phrase the search engine will send out a spider to fetch as many documents as it can find. However more needs to be done with the information that has been searched and retrieved. Another program called an indexer reads these documents and makes an index based on the words each document contains.
To us this is all very clever and we have since learned that search engines have a unique algorithm...whats that we hear you say algebra or what... so next time we write we will talk more about indexers and algorithms that is if I can understand it....

Have you got Google Adsense yet?
We have been reading all about Google Adsense and we have learned that spiders are in full force, they are the key to getting your listing higher up in Google. Keyword rich is the only way to feed these spiders!!! So you need to be putting information on your website with the right keywords in.
You can find the keywords by looking at https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
type in a word or short phrase (we used home business) that you want to use on your website home page and then you click "Get keyword ideas". This then populates a list which shows you -Keywords related to term(s) entered - sorted by relevance
Then there is a second list - Keywords related to term(s) entered - sorted by relevance
These lists gives you the following results
Local Search Volume: June
Global Monthly Search Volume
This is an excellent tool for you to use and will help you improve your list of most requested words and phrases when people search for the time of product you have on your website.
The spiders go for words on various pages that you will have on your site. You need to keep them close together but can only repeat them for 3 - 7 times per 100 words so you need to increase your keywords so that the spider will keep looking.
As we learn all about these critters we will let you know more too.

Rules of Google AdSense Riches
1. Understanding Google AdSense.
Once you design a website, you will contact the Google AdSense program. They will request information about your website and then give you a code to use. You insert the code as directed on your website and almost magically ads will appear on your website that are very close to or right on your subject matter. It works simply.
2. How Google AdSense works.
Google charges the individuals that place the ad a certain amount. When someone clicks on the ad, visits the website and/or makes a purchase, the Google AdSense program credits your account with part of the fee. The benefit of this is that it is all automatic. You don't have to track down individuals to pay for their ad space nor do you need to worry about having ads there. Some ads are worth far more than others and you can even research this and develop websites around these high paying ads.
3. Increase Your Google Earnings.
To make more money everyday with Google you want to limit the number of Google AdSense ads to 3 or less per page. The more ads you have on a page the less they begin to pay. It benefits both you and Google to have the highest paying ads showing up on your page.
You want to blend your ads into the page. People have become blind to ads on the internet. They just do not care about them. By blending your ads into the page you've a better chance to get them clicked on. This may mean using a white border.
4. Track Your earnings.
Check your stats periodically. You want to see your click through rate and your cost per click. By knowing how many visitors it takes to get a click and how much you are making per click you can decide if having a Google Ad on that page is worth it or not.
Make sure the ads that are coming up are relevant to the page. If not consider if you have content that is bad, or if your meta tags are set up wrong. Maybe even your header graphic has a bad alt tag.

He has spent the last several days trying to figure out a way to make money on his website and Blogs. He has some traffic coming to the site already and is working on building that. But, he has heard of a program that can give him additional profit by doing very little.

Google Adsense and much more
Well another day has dawned and I have yet again tackled Google Adsense... SENSE being the operative word. I tried and tried but just couldn't make sense of it at all even though I listened to the tutorials and read the e-books, however I have grasped the nettle and been able to make progress and have managed to find the code and have placed it onto one of my websites.
The trainingwithmary tutorials did make the steps easier to follow. When doing stuff for the first time it always seems difficult and I get frustrated but I have accomplished this task today.
Next I am going to send out emails to a list I have. I want everyone to take a look at the "webcash" websites and have a look at the business opportunity and at the items that can be purchased.
Catchy or powerful headlines are a must and content has to be informative, newsy but not too long as I don't want the reader to fall asleep....
Short and sweet not forgetting to put in my links will be the key to success.
The reader will be able to look at both sites and read my blog as I want to promote this aswell.

My Story
It is now day 6 of placing posts on my blog. We have learnt a great deal but realise that we know nothing!!!
Today we have looked at my http://mywebcashstore.com/baker0870 website and have added My Story, not about us we hasten to add, but about my skepticism of businesses on line. However we have come to the conclusion that we really do know nothing and have everything to learn. This latest website has everything including videos and tutorials and we have been following them very closely and are in awe that we have been able to successfully add the blog to the website and articles along with additional information through the sites back office.
You should really take a look at this opportunity. They practically take you by the hand and lead you through all the motions of getting started.
So we will be in touch again very soon with snippets of us and our fascination with all things "internet".

How You Can Go From Failure to Success With Your Home Business
Starting a home business is as scary as is it rewarding. If we're honest with ourselves at the very beginning (especially after the newness wears off and it wasn't an instant success) you're at a crossroads of some sort. It's like it's a inner civil war going on inside of you. There's an equal part of you that wants to quit as there is to keep going. If in fact you feel like you're failing or you actually are failing, I've discovered a few ways that could turn things around for you.
One way to turn things around is stop being disappointed with effort (unless you've been lazy and haven't been doing anything anyway). What do I mean? As long as you're giving effort you're in the process. Continue with the effort and just tweak it a little each day if necessary. Not to say that you won't need to change your actions at some point if what you're doing isn't working. Just understand that if anyone is making this particular home business opportunity work, then you can. As corny as this may sound, you have got to believe in yourself first before you believe in any business or endeavor.
Another way to go from failure to success is to find a coach or partner that you're accountable to. Not necessarily someone that has a vested interest in your success. I'm talking about someone that will not let you off the hook if you don't follow through on your commitment to complete some agreed upon business activities. This has worked very well in my life. When I was in the military going through basic training is when I realize the power of this principle. There were times during that process that I would've thrown in the towel and quit because I was home sick or the task before me appeared to be too difficult at the time. I befriended a couple of guys while I was in training and they would not let me quit and I wouldn't let them quit. If you don't have that now, then find someone that will be that for you with your home business.
The last way I'm going to discuss has been even more powerful than the other two ways I've discussed. Before I reveal what it is, let me tell you how I stumbled across this concept. First of all, I'm a positive thinking, self help junky. I prefer to be positive than negative. I found a book that transformed my thought process forever. The name of the book is "Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting" by Lynn Grabhorn. The one principle I extracted from her book is how you feel about whatever activity you're engaged in will determine the results you get from that activity". In other words, if you continually associate fear, worry, doubt, etc. with starting a home business, then you're going to hurt your chances of succeeding. You can pick the book up at any bookstore.
Although there's no guarantee that you'll succeed at your online home business or anything else for that matter. If you're failing miserably right now with your home business, I believe that incorporating these tools into your activities will dramatically increase your chances of turning thing s around.
