Google uses Western Union to send money to Egyptian Publishers

July 02, 2008 By: Mohamed Elmasry Category: Google Adsense No Comments →

In the middle of November 2007 , Google contacted me to be one of the Beta testers of  receiving payment via Western Union. They said: “We are excited to let you know that we plan to offer a chance to participate in this test. Google will send your Adsense payments in cash using the worldwide Western Union money transfer service rather than a check”.

Of course , I felt proud of this invitation and joined immediately. They asked me not to spread this news. I respect that although some others started to declare the western union option is available in Egypt. And that was not true. Three weeks later, I got message informs me that the Beta test will be postponed for awhile.

It was bad news because this option would save a lot of time , at least one month. More over, it is free. You will not need to pay $24 for the DHL or any fees to your bank to cash the check.

Anyway, At this time , I knew that Google started to use Western Union Quick Cash to pay for Publishers in Argentina, Chile, China (Mainland) , Colombia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Peru, The Philippines and Romania. I deduced that the wheel started to run. And sooner or later this service will be available in Egypt.

In May2008, the option to use Western Union appears in my account. So I immediately set it up. I waited for the payment in June. I was a little worried because the amount I should receive is not small and If this process didn’t go successfully, I’ll wait more time than paying by check. But, thank god, everything go smoothly and I received my money without any problem. Wow , it is wonderful. It is even faster than EFT.

Thanks To google because they give us this wonderful option.

Please , read more at google help to set your account and get your money without any problem.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly can ban your Adsense account

June 03, 2008 By: Mohamed Elmasry Category: Google Adsense 4 Comments →

Did you watch the old movie in sixties? I’m sure most of you watched it but no one couldn’t predict that those guys will move from the western to the net world. Well, we can say that it is the new version of the movie but in the internet world.

Do you have Google adsense account? Are you working hard to earn a decent income from it? So the first thing you should care of is to keep an eye on those guys because they may harm you and lead google to ban your account!!

The good guy may want to help you to generate more clicks to increase your profits. This good guy may be a close friend or one of your company staff or one of your relatives…They are doing that with good intentions…but with Google, good intentions will not prevent them to close your account.

The bad guy is the one who intentionally generates many clicks from ads on your website to get you banned. Google tracks clicks activities and defines the invalid clicks. So if someone wants to hurt you, he simply can generate such harmful activities.

The ugly is the one who offers you a way to get clicks by using ideas such : click exchange or as google says: “ These prohibited methods include but are not limited to repeated manual clicks or impressions, using robots, automated click and impression generating tools, third-party services that generate clicks or impressions such as paid-to-click, paid-to-surf, autosurf, and click-exchange programs, “

Well how can you save your back from such guys? The answer is simple.

You have to track your adsense units and links by using channels. If you noticed unusual activity on a channel that you are not promoting that much…or you noticed that the CTR is abnormal like 90% or 100%, you have to worry but wait don’t contact google…You will need to see your tracking report of your pages. You already should have tracking script or advanced counter that can show where the traffic is coming from and IP addresses. If you see the same IP address used on the pages that contain the Adsense channels which generate unusal clicks, you have to contact Google adsense support immediately. Don’t be afraid, they will help you. They will not close your account.

Some Adsense Secrets to triple your profits

March 16, 2008 By: Newbornbusiness Category: Google Adsense No Comments →

Many people are now making a part-time income or even a full-time living from the Internet. Nowadays a large section depends heavily on Adsense Ads. Here are some secrets to get you started earning a solid income quickly with Adsense:

- Targeted traffic results in increased CTR of ads. Choosing the right anchor text for back links promotes your website to the traffic you exactly need from the search engines. Choose the Anchor text that directly speaks to your visitors and pulls the traffic that your web page requires.

- Regular update also makes the search engine bots visit your site more often. It is important to maintain and update your site frequently once it goes live. Never make the mistake of neglecting it for days at a time. Fresh content is what makes your visitors return again and again.

- Dictate keywords to Google Mediabot; Better targeted ads increase both your CTR and EPC. Use keywords in your Meta tags, Title text and inject them in the first and last paragraph of your content. Use Google’s Section targeting to advise Google mediabot about the areas of your content which should be considered or ignored while matching the Ads with your content.

- It is an open secret that people searching the internet will mostly click on links placed at certain points and displaying in certain formats. Because choosing the wrong ad sizes and placing them in the wrong places will lead to low earnings if no earnings at all.

- Make your Adsense unit blend in with your content, use rectangular boxes instead of banner ads (people don’t even see banner ads anymore). Most languages are read from left to right, so try to place your rectangular Adsense unit in a table aligned to the right of your text.

- Now it comes to colors, if you use a different link color on your site, change the Adsense links to match that color. At the bottom of each Adsense unit there is the URL for website paying for that ad. You want to draw attention away from the URL and towards the clickable link, change the color of the link to match the body color of the ad, generally black. Always use the background color of your webpage for your ad border and background.

- Use Adsense Competitive Ad filter; it is a great feature to avoid displaying your competitors ads as well as the Junk Websites that steal the traffic from your website and recycle it on their own Adsense ad blocks. Always recognize such websites and stick them in Adsense Competitive Ad filter.

These Factors really affect your CTR (Click Thru Ratio)

March 08, 2008 By: Newbornbusiness Category: Google Adsense No Comments →

More CTR (Click Thru Ratio) means more clicks on your Google Ads. It is known that position and colors of your ads has an effect on CTR; but it’s a little bit more than that. CTR also depends upon the quality of traffic, relevancy of ads, and even the subject of your website.

Good study of keywords behavior is needed; CTR varies and depends upon the keywords you are using to make the content of your website. There are many things that can affect CTR keywords; it has been proved that the more technical your topic is, the less CTR it will give you, unless the Ad content is well written.

Also a particular season has an effect on the performance of keywords. We can find some keywords that are more active around certain few months around the year, and a quite sluggish rest of the year. Like “Christmas”, “Turkey recipe”, etc…

Positions and colors is a good aspect to consider in order to improve the CTR (Clicks Thru Ratio) of your website. Google can provide you with some ideal placements of ads on your web page. Take a look at Google’s “heatmap”.

Ad Type and Density also count; some ads are not user-friendly, they are hard to read. The most effective ad is the rectangle box and vertical large banners. Users got used to ignore the horizontal ads. When your users find that you are putting too many ads, they will run away from them. Find the balance and make tests with different amounts and see what works best for you.

Targeted traffic means more CTR, more earnings, and enhanced ad convertibility. Traffic that is interested in your content is interested in your ads too, therefore your ads will be clicked more frequently.

The typical AdSense CTR is around 1-2% but that’s just for ads that were not tuned yet. Considering these Factors can put your CTR from 5% to 15%.

Making real money using Google’s AdSense program can be done. The key to making it happen is to increase the AdSense click through rate (ctr) on a site. This means turning your traffic into visitors on advertisers’ web sites.
