Where Should I Place My Adsense Ads?
Aug 24, 2008 Affiliate Marketing, Google Domination
“Where should I Place My Adsense Ads?” - This is the most common and popular question that been 
asked by bloggers or webmasters for years and yet there is no exact answer for this.
If you want to know which is the ‘right’ place to put your Adsense ads or which type of Adsense campaign will convert the best - the answer is you need to test it yourself.
When you’re running an Adsense campaign, it is important to make sure that you’re testing all of the different possibilities to make sure that you’re getting the highest click through rate.
For instance, you could try placing the ads in different places on your site and using different color combination. Then run one ad format for a week, then run the second format and compare results. Better yet, test the format simultaneously and start getting side by side results to compare.
Just to be sure to allow each test the same amount of time to work to make sure that your results are equal.
Although testing is necessity, there are certain areas for your ads that are thought to be more likely to encourage a greater click through rate than others.
It is a proven fact that, one of the places the visitors will look first on the site is the top left position. But there are other places to consider depending on your site design.
For instance, above the page footer and below the top navigation bar are thought to be very good. Near the middle with the main content wrapped around the ad block is thought to be great.
Tips: You may take a look in the help files inside your Google Adsense account and you will find the latest research plus heat maps suggesting the best locations to place your ads.
Although it may seem to be a good idea, do not try to make your ads stand out from the other content on your page.
Keep in mind that the readers did not come to your site to click on ads, but to read the content. You should take care to build your page around a specific topic. Choose your keywords carefully and keep them targeted.
This will ensure that the Adsense ads that are shown on your page are relevant and useful to your visitors. If the ads blend in with the content on your site, you will be more likely to get a better click through rate on them.
If you want to master and dominate the Adsense, I’d recommend you to have a look at Secret Google Tactics. This guy shows you how you can make boat loads of cash with Google Adsense and Google Adwords.
And personally, I really think that ‘Secret Google Tactics‘ not only will help you to increase your Adsense income, but also will help any affiliate market increase their profits (almost) exponentially…
May your Adsense income increase!

Weaknesses: You will need to search for a good affiliate program and build up traffic in order to see results.
Opportunities: There are unlimited opportunities because there are always new products coming out each day and affiliates are needed everywhere!
Threats: You are competing against THOUSANDS of affiliates out there and those affiliates are your competitors. Some programs even offer two-tier program and established affiliates probably have dozens of affiliates under them as well.

Big 6 Online Business Model - Blogging
Mar 27, 2008 Affiliate Marketing, Big 6 Model
A big question here: What are the big 6 online business model?
In online business, there are six most popular and profitable business model that you can follow. The six model are blogging, affiliate marketing, online network marketing, niche marketing, freelance services and internet marketing niche itself.
I will briefly explain each model and provide you some tips on what opportunities may be suitable for you and how you can strategize your way to build your income online so that you will be able to quit your job.
Today I will start with the first model, blogging. Blogging is one of the easiest models that someone can attempt. Almost anyone can become a blogger. Even those who can’t write can use the picture blog method or photoblog.
What are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat for this model? Read on…
Strengths: You can blog about anything you want! Focus on your passion and share your thoughts with the world. If you have great content, people will come to your blog and you can monetize through advertising or affiliate programs. The startup cost is only $9 for a domain name and it costs about $5-9 a month for the hosting to maintain this business model. You can even register some blog for free such as Blogger.com and WordPress.com.
Weaknesses: It may take a long time to build up traffic - an average person who blogs regularly but slowly may quit his or her job within one to two years. If you want to achieve freedom in half the time, you have to blog and network with other bloggers more aggresively.
Opportunities: You may not be able to see yourself making money at the start, but to offset that, you can blog for others (for a fee) or even sign up for Pay Per Post and get paid for blogging!
Threats: There is a blog born or created every Two Seconds. So you can imagine how much competition you are going up againts!
Recommended Resources:
- You can register your domain with NameCheap.com. I registered all my domain with them and so far no complain. Tips: Google for “NameCheap Coupon” then you’ll get a discount for your domain.
- As I mentioned, you need a hosting account to maintain this business model. If you’re just started in online business, I’d recommend HostGator.com. They provide excellent service and high response support.
- If you can’t drive a decent traffic to your blog means you can’t generate money from your site. I’d recommend Atomic Blogging to discover how you can drive tons of traffic to your blog easily and start to make more money online.
OK! That’s all for blogging model. In the next update, I’ll discuss with you on the second business model, affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest and fastest way to make your first dollar online!

Conversion Rate or Commission Payout?
Mar 10, 2008 Affiliate Marketing
If you have a choice to choose either high conversion rate or high commission payout affiliate program? Which one will you choose?
If me, I’d say depends. Let’s do some calculation.
Right now you’ve product A and product B to promote as an affiliate. One is giving you 40% commission and another one is 75%. Both are $47 product.
Product A: 40% = $18.80/sale
Product B: 75% = $30.00/sale
Yeah. Definitely you want to promote product B, me too. Anyhow, you’re going to put the same amount of effort to promote the affiliate products. So, might as well choose the product B as it pays higher.
But what if the product B comes with lousy sales page and converts at only 2%? In contrast, product A has a powerful sales page and converting at 5%. Here we talk about the conversion rate.
If you’re new to the affiliate marketing, conversion rate is the ratio of orders to site visits. For example, you have 100 people visit your site, and 2 people place orders, means that your conversion rate is 2 percent. Simple math right?
OK. Assume that you have directed 100 visitors to product A and product B. Product A is converting at 5 percent which brought you 5 sales, while product B is converting at 2 percent which brought you 2 sales. So, how much you earned for each product? Let’s do some calculation again.
Product A = 5 sales x $18.80 = $94 earned
Product B = 2 sales x $30.00 = $60 earned
Which product are you going to promote if in this case? The answer is clear. I bet you’ll prefer to promote product A more than B even though product B give you a higher commission payout.
As an affiliate marketer, no matter which products you’re promoting, you’re going to put the same amount of efforts to promote them. So, why don’t choose a product that worth your time? And of course if can, choose a product that gives you high commission rate while, the sales letter conversion rate remain high.
Love this post? I’m looking forward to your comment and suggestion. Probably you have one or two ideas to add in?
