Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2004 9:14 pm Post subject: this is how you FORCE YOUR VISITOR to click on Ads
While other tips correctly say "don't encourage your readers to click your ads" that is not exactly correct. You do want to encourage them; you just don't want to say so. Let me explain.
If you design your page and your text to "encourage readers to click ads" then your click thru rate will go up and you will make more money. But you can't be direct about it -- you can't tell them to click ads.
For example, you can end your paragraph with "The next chance you get, try out some of the retailers who advertise on the Internet, and see how their websites are optimize for selling" and then follow with your adsense block. It serves to "encourage" them to click the ads, without actually asking them to. If the ads match your topic area, it is easy to write such an inducement. Try it! It works!

Becareful... Google doesn't like any referance to that. Your best disguising your ad as another navagation bar... Personally I think if you are selling somthing (service,etc online) a google banner will do more harm then good. It makes it seem like your not doing well so you need a banner... It's what I always think.

That's a BAD idea.
No body thinks long term anymore, except for Allan.
The reason advertisers use Google Adwords is because their ROI is positive, they're making more money selling products than they're spending.
This is really simple, when their ROI becomes negative, people will drop the program.
By encouraging people to click Adsense ads to "see how their websites are optimize for selling" is not doing anything to encourage sales on that advertisers site. This dilutes the advertisers ROI, making it more likely for them to pull out. _________________ Robert

It is perfectly possible to reach an amount of 300$ with one website and a free income stream (Adsense). You can actually expect much more per month with Adsense once you draw traffic 250+ visitors/day. Find topics that give high per-click earnings.

Calvin, the AdSense terms of service forbid us to discuss just about anything involving money earned by AdSense.
So let's a take hypothetical case.
Here's a quick summary of what you do to reach that $300 a month mark...
You read Ken Evoy's free Affiliate Masters Course and use the excellent advice in it to find a niche - or several niches - that suit you and your interests.
You spend a lot of time carefully thinking about this and jotting down notes.
You do some research on AdWords and Overture to choose the most profitable niche from among the ones you've chosen. Because you're planning to use AdSense, you want valuable keywords, if possible ones that people are paying at least 50 cents per click for on Overture and AdWords.
You also do some research to see if there are suitable affiliate merchants, ones with excellent products, excellent reputations and sites that sell.
You build a useful, interesting web site on your niche. You probably avoid Internet marketing topics because that field is so overcrowded and competitive.
You link to other sites with similar or related themes, and invite those sites to link to you.
You add a few links to affiliate products and add AdSense to your site.
You list your site in directories.
You keep adding useful, interesting pages and keep getting more sites to link to you.
You make friends with other web site owners, and more people link to you...
Nothing much seems to happen for the first couple of months or so, and you get frustrated and find it hard to believe that this is going to work.
You feel annoyed, cheated and ready to quit. Many affiliates give up at this stage. However, you stick at it because people you trust have told you that this works if you're persistent and get the details right.
Google and Yahoo! find your site and start sending you traffic. You have your first 100 visitors a day. Visitors like what they see and some site owners start linking to you and asking you to link to them.
Encouraged, you keep at it.
Perhaps you write a few articles and distribute them to article directories (fairly easy) and try to persuade newsletters and other sites to publish them (more challenging). This step isn't absolutely essential, but it helps enormously if you do it. Now you understand why it was so important that you chose a topic that was easy to write about.
About six months down the road, after little expense but quite a lot of hard work and research, you hit your magical $300 a month mark, from affiliate sales and from advertising on your site.
Depending on the niche you've chosen and the skills you've learned, you might earn considerably more than $300.
If you're lucky, you've managed to select a subject that has affiliate programs which pay lifetime commissions or residual commissions - the sort reviewed at LifetimeCommissions.com - and "your" customers make more purchases and you start to see your commissions snowball. Do you have snow where you live in Malaysia? Well, now you do.
The checks keep coming in, month after month, even when you take a little vacation. You start telling friends how easy affiliate marketing is, and are puzzled when they're not convinced.
Of course, it's not really easy. It just seems easy after you've done the hard work.
At $300 a month, you wonder whether you should work harder on your site, perhaps adding a newsletter, an autoresponder course or two, a forum, RSS newsfeeds, a blog, a whitepaper, a report to sell ... and turn it into a portal. You dream big. Perhaps you even start dreaming of having your own affiliates promoting your reports for you...
Or perhaps you just research another little overlooked niche and start on your next simple little, low-maintenance money-earning site.
It can be done. The main ingredient needed is persistence. Been there, done that.
Hope that helps. _________________ Allan Gardyne

Huh? There are people (not me) making more from it per month than most people make at their jobs all year. So it's certainly possible. _________________ Have you seen this bonus offer?

Calvin,
I'm from Malaysia too. US$300 per month is not enough for me.
You should aim higher instead. I don't think US$300 per month is a tough job if you do some marketing. My target is US$2000 - 3000 per month. I'm working towards my target agresively and I strongly believe I will achieve it in near future.
You can earn quite a lucrative income from Adsense if you choose a competitive keywords. Also, the position of your ads is very important too. You need to do lot of testing. My CTR improve a lot after getting some good idea from this forum.

I agree with you flyer. There are some people who are making lots from Adsense. _________________ Affiliate Programs Directory - Over 2,000 Programs
