Monetizing revenue through online busines and affiliate busines

I read an interesting thread in webmasterworld where a newbie to internet wants to start a business and make 100$ a day in 3 months. So is it so easy to do? I feel it all comes down to hitting the right one for you and making the most out of it. I have seen people do it in a very short period of time without any previous experience,

My first and last suggestion will be to select the best interest for you and work towards it, try to understand what type of person you are and work towards what is best for you. In future ill be posting a major success story of myself. I am too busy to share my great experience now but will definitely do it in future,

Comscore report shows drop in paid clicks on google,

Comscore a industry leader in monitoring search engine paid advertising has reported reduction in paid search engine clicks in google. This is the first time there is a decrease in paid clicks for a continues 3 months.

This is a major worry for google’s investors. Google has relied heavily on paid search revenue and this is a major draw back for them. A drop in paid revenue in something Google has to think about,

Revenue sharing offer from Microsoft to Adobe

Microsoft offered adobe a revenue sharing in its Ad programme. MSN Adcenter has offered Adobe sharing of its advertising revenue in exchange for promoting silverlight Microsoft’s video hosting platform. Its a smart move by Microsoft since its very difficult to compete with Youtube and other major video hosting sites.

Silverlight Streaming service, was announced by Microsoft last april same time when its Silverlight service was launched is a platform that: encourages the spread of the client software, and it showcases what has so far been the technology’s major strength: video. Free service provides more than 5 GB of hosting space for videos and about 5 Tera bytes of bandwidth usage which is much higher than youtube. This looks like a favourable move from Microsoft towards bringing potential users to its video streaming service.

Yahoo seeks higher bid from Microsoft,

According to internal news from yahoo it seems to seek ways to increase the value of its bid from Microsoft. Current value of yahoo stands at 41 billion USD, Yahoo is planning to increase it to 45 billion. Yahoo has predicted its 2010 earnings from online advertising to be around 9 billion about 70% more than its 2007 earnings. If Yahoo is capable of pleasing its investors definitely it will win a increased bid from Billsoft.

But Many Wall Street Investors predict Microsoft will win Yahoo in the current bid. Seeing Yahoo’s potential and the bid value they predict its the right bid from Microsoft to acquire Yahoo.

Advertisers Cheating Google adwords PPC with wrong display URLs

We have seen some advertisers display wrong URLs in display URL but when we click on the URL it goes to a page completely different from what was mentioned in the URls. We reported some of these competitors and Adwords team did take things seriously and removed those ads or replaced them with them with the correct ads.

Advertisers do this mostly to cheat the Google’s policy on 1 TLD URL per list of sponsored results. Say there are 10 affiliates having different IDs pointing to the same Merchant Google’s policy is to allow only 1 affiliate mostly the highest bidder. To cheat this webmaster have a wrong display URL thinking that Google will ignore them. Now adwords quality team is very strict on this and they disallow ads doing this

Keywords Inactive for search but still getting clicks?

We had some client PPC campaigns have inactive keywords but still they get impressions and clicks so what causes this, Most of the time this is caused when the keyword is inactive in search but still active in partner networks. Google has a range of partner sites which serve google results for their clients. Google’s adwords campaign also serves sponsored results to these sites most probably keywords show impressions and clicks because of this. Though keywords are inactive in google search they are served in Google partner sites.
Other possible reason according to a Google Adwords support guy is that Due to various changes in bidding keywords jump between inactive and active status. Say suppose a advertise run out of funds then if our bid is low and the keyword is inactive it might get activated since the Competitor ads stop showing up. Similarly if some high bidders reduce their Maximum bid or stop their keywords / campaign then the keywords even if they are low bidding and inactive will start showing up. A keyword will jump from Active to inactive and inactive to active if any of the above happens. This is an other reason keywords still has impressions / clicks even if they show inactive status

An update to adwords display URL policy

Is this a April fool Joke or a real change by google, When we recently logged into our client’s adwords campaign management system we saw the following notice from google.

“Important Change to URL Policy Enforcement
Starting in April, display URLs for new ads will be required to match their destination / landing page URLs, without exception. Please adjust your URLs accordingly when creating new ads.”

What the heck how can this be possible some of our clients have product URLs that are very long and cannot be matched with the display URLs. Also google adwords offer a limited space for display URLs and this is if true a ridiculous change and almost impossible to be implemented in our campaign.

Adwords advisor in webmaster world is giving some really funny suggestions. Does he really mean it or he is just playing the Google’s April Fool prank which they always do every year. Google is the best search engine when it comes to playing users with their April Fool pranks. Most infamous being the pigeon rank where google said it is gonna replace Pagerank their core algorithm with Pigeon rank
AWA says

“I would not necessarily recommend doing what I am going to suggest below, except in cases in which it is the only solution – because some folks think it looks weird, and thus maybe less ‘trustworthy’ somehow – but you could delete the www in the URL.

In other words you could use:

really-long-domain-name-for-the-company-i-work-at.com

Instead of:

www.really-long-domain-name-for-the-company-i-work-at.com

Would that do the trick for you?

If not, please contact AdWords support directly, and ask for advice using with the actual URL as an example. 😉
” LOL

Great support from adsense and adwords team

Recently we have seen an increasingly prompt answers from both adwords and the google adsense team. Usually google adsense team is slow to respond but now we got very quick answers. One of our adsense checks got stuck due to change of address we contacted the adsense support team they were quick to identify and solve the problem for us. Now our adsense pay checks are prompt

BTW we are eager to know anyone willing to share their adsense revenue here?

Can we have 2 keywords in the same ad group?

I saw someone ask this question in webmasterworld.com, as with my experience no it is not possible to add 2 keywords and it will infact hurt the ROI. Please avoid using same keywords twice since it will affect the overall performance of the adgroup,

Adwords phishing emails more similar to paypal phishing appear

Now some scammer from china is sending out phishing mails asking to update adwords billing information. Phishing has been here for a very long time most of the time phishing happens with sites like paypal and ebay now scammers are targeting Adwords subscribers by asking them to provide password and other personal information.

The way the phisher(s) went about it is by sending a message allegedly from the Google AdWords Team that requires users to update their billing information and send it to the modified web address. In the eventuality that someone would not comply with the request, the email reads that their account was disabled and it “will be reactivated as soon as you have entered your payment details.
