| Targeting customer interests with multiple Google Plus Pages | 2011 11 | ||||
| - Although mostly overlooked in the general excitement about Google Plusbusiness pages, it's important to realize that you are not limited to just one page for your business. If your business sells multiple products or services, you may very well want to create pages for each part. - | |||||
| Google Plus Business pages are open now | 2011 11 | ||||
| - Google-Plus now allows business pages. You seem to need a Google Plus account to create your pages, but of course you don't need to post anything at all on that account. You can create as many individual pages as you need. I immediately created pages for several aspects of my business. - | |||||

| Google Affiliate Programs | 2006 06 | 2011/01/03 CindyEyler | |||
| - They apparently are calling these CPA ads, but what that means is that publishers get paid not for clicks but for some specific action at an advertiser's site. - | |||||
| Review of Tribal Fusion for Publishers | 2008 06 | 2010/05/22 anonymous | |||

| Google Micropayments | 2009 09 | ||||
| - The newspaper and magazine industry is clamoring for Internet micropayments. They've realized that nobody is going to pay even 50 cents to read a news article - what they probably don't realize is that people probably won't even pay 50 cents a year for full access to everything. - | |||||
| Why I don't trust RSS subscriber figures | 2009 09 | ||||
| - I'm skeptical about the value of RSS subscribers. Don't misunderstand: I think it is very important to provide RSS feeds; I just don't think counting subscribers means much. - | |||||

| Googled: The End of the World As We Know It | 2009 09 | ||||
| - The effect of Google upon society and business isn't neglected. All of this is looked at deeply. What does Google mean to other companies? What does Google's growth mean to itself? - | |||||

| Building Google Traffic | 2009 03 | ||||
| - If he searched Google for the things she sells there were no results pointing to her and if he searched precisely for her business name he gets a hit in position 3, but it is somebody else's page with an old, incorrect address - not very helpful - | |||||

| Google Adsense multiple channel tracking | 2006 10 | ||||
| - Google finally adds better tracking. This improvement doesn't answer all my gripes, but it's better than it was before. - | |||||
| A/B Testing for Adsense is often pointless | 2006 08 | ||||
| - There are usually too many variables and too little to gain to bother with A/B testing - | |||||
| The value of Google Analytics | 2006 02 | ||||
| - It is certainly true that Analytics does nothing that I couldn't do myself, though would require more disk space and processing power than I want to give it. - | |||||
| All I want for Xmas is for Google to..Adsense | 2006 02 | ||||
| - Things I wish Google would do in Adsense: I started this wish-list with Gmail, but Adsense is actually a bigger itch for me. Unfortunately, while many of these features and changes would be reasonable in a perfect world, Google may not be implementing any of them soon because they don't want to make things any easier for the cheats and crooks who are constantly bedeviling them with click fraud. Therefor, my very first wish for Adsense is that they stop paying per click and only offer impression based advertising. - | |||||
| Click Fraud and Bots | 2006 02 | ||||
| - Pay per click advertising has changed the texture of the internet. Compromised machines defraud advertisers. - | |||||
| Yahoo vs. Google | 2005 12 | ||||
| - A post at JenSense compares Yahoo's contextual advertising to Google's. The author reports that YPN brought in about the same money with a far lower click through rate. I think that she correctly analyzed the most likely reason: the YPN ads are different than the Adsense ads that browsers have probably already seen at other sites. As YPN matures, their contextual matching will improve, their CTR will increase, but at the same time their payout will decrease. At the end of the day, nobody should expect that YPN income will be any better than Adsense. - | |||||
| Get out the tape measure | 2005 12 | ||||
| - It's natural to wonder how you stack up. No matter what your volume of traffic is, you can't help wondering if you are making as much advertising money as you should. With that in mind, I'd like to offer you a very simple formula that will help you calculate how much money you should be earning: - | |||||
| Is There Value in Search Engine Optimization Firms? | 2005 12 | ||||
| - I spent some time over the past year or so talking to various SEO firms and Adsense consultants. These are people who offer to increase the visibility of your web site or increase Adsense revenue for a fee. Other than pretending to be interested in their services (I'm not), I was completely honest about my site, my present statistics, and my goals. We'll cover all that, but first a statement you probably won't find surprising - | |||||
| Picking your subject for best Adsense results | 2005 12 | ||||
| - No, this is not about going out and finding high paying keywords and writing copy designed to attract ads for those words. Well, it's a little bit about that, but without the soulless mercenary aspect. - | |||||
| Google adds Advertise Here ability | 2005 12 | ||||
| - This lets Adwords advertisers target ads to specific sites on a cost-per-thousand basis. - | |||||
| Influencing Google for Web Site Promotion and Adsense Revenue | 2005 12 | ||||
| - There really isn't much you can do directly with Google in the area of web site promotion. However, there are a few tools you can use. - | |||||
| Google Pricing Rumors | 2005 12 | ||||
| - Chitika seems to be a bit more open, but neither YPN or Chitika deliver the punch that Google does for me. I understand some folks are doing very well with Chitika, but for me it's a few dollars a day at best. YPN pays well, but it's so unpredictable - some days it is great, other days it is next to nothing. Google delivers consistently - they may frustrate me because it's so hard to tell what works and what doesn't, but at the end of the day the dollars are there. - | |||||
| Chitka Mini Mall Ads | 2005 12 | ||||
| - Not only is this exciting because of the ability to specify the type of ads you want to run (right down to specific products if you desire), but Chitika is very aggressive and very interested in your success. Not two days after I had signed up, my account rep sent a long email where she had analyzed each of my sites and had specific suggestions for improving ad revenue. - | |||||

| Competition in advertising | 2005 11 | ||||
| - Competition by the web advertising networks is good for advertisers and web sites - | |||||
| More tools for on-line advertisers | 2003 11 | ||||
| - Outside of the web, it's very difficult to get any kind of advertising statistics. You can track direct mail responses, of course, but certainly not with the ease and the depth that you cvan track web responses. - | |||||
| Context ads not working | 2003 09 | ||||
| - When the content is more focused, the ads will be much more relevant. If you visit the more technical areas of this site, you are much more apt to see ads that are right on target. That's to everyone's advantage: if you came here looking for information on RAID controllers, seeing ads from people who make such hardware just adds to the value of what you have found. - | |||||
