Using your Content Managed website for Google Adsense advertsGoogle Adsense allows you to place context-sensitive advertising on your website. Google Adsense are adverts that automatically adjust to the content of your web page.
To our way of thinking they are the very best (or least worst) type of internet advertising, Google Adsense adverts are simple text or graphical adverts which are relevant to the content of the web page you are looking at.
An example of Adsense context-sensitive adverts
An exampleLet's imagine you have a page about your favourite car. The Google Adsense adverts showing on that page will relate to the content of that specific page. So it may show Adsense adverts from companies selling car insurance, or accessories or perhaps new cars.
The advertisers pay Google every time someone clicks on their advert, regardless of whether they make a sale. If someone clicks on an adsense advert showing on one of your web pages, you take a slice of the revenue.
The good news is that you don't have to lift a finger. The adverts are delivered automatically by Google right into your web page. Google takes a snapshot of your web pages every couple of days, and Google chooses the adverts depending on the content of Google's snapshot (cached page).
How much do you have to pay Google?Nothing. Simple. It's free. Just sign up with Google Adsense and after Google have reviewed the content of your website to make sure it fits within their guidelines, you can be up and running in a few days.
What's the best way to make money from Google Adsense?Just get people to your site by providing interesting, accurate and relevant information. Make the content of each web page showing Google Adsense adverts as specific as possible, that way the advertising will be clearly targetted and you will achieve more "click throughs", each click through generates income for you.
How much do I get when someone clicks on an advert?That all depends on the content of your web page. When companies want to show their adverts on Google and Google's content network (which includes your website), they bid for keywords and key phrases. Some keywords are cheap because no one wants them. A company can show their advert on Google for only 5p a click if they choose to show it on web pages discussing "hippopotami". But how many people sell hippopotami?
Choosing a subject such as mortgages or pensions, and many others, can result in an income of several pounds every time someone clicks on a Google Adsense advert.
Are all websites suitable for Google Adsense adverts?No. There are a lot of things that will prevent Google from "crawling" your web pages. If Google cannot crawl your pages Adsense will show public service adverts (PSA), for which you will not get paid. Some of the things that make a website unsuitable for Adsense are:
Frames or Iframes (inline frames) Database driven content Javascript links Text generated by javascript Flash - Google cannot read the text if it is rendered in Macromedia Flash Text rendered as graphics URLs with querystringsHow can I maintain my website content quickly and be sure my website is compatible with Google Adsense?That's where we come in. 123Live is simply a very, very easy way to edit and publish your website using just Internet Explorer. And it published your web pages as bog-standard, regular HTML that is fully compatible with Google Adsense. This also means that your website will be quick to load and be a joy for your users to navigate

Experts Exchange and Paid SubscriptionsPosted by topazg
Well, having eaten all the pies and drunk all the wine, I guess Christmas / New Year is well and truly over - as always, it was fun whilst it lasted.
Anyway, back to techie things, I've noticed that Experts Exchange is beta testing a new skin / site layout. On the whole, besides the now well known desire to "glassify" everything, I actually really like the improvements. It seems the pages load a bit slower which is disappointing, but there is more information on offer and it is presented cleanly and easy enough to find your way around.
However, I do notice to my amusement a whole section on gaming. Not many questions in there yet, but I wonder if it will be possible to be labelled a bone-fide MMORPG Guru by Expert Certification. Wouldn't that look good on a CV!
Anyway, light heartedness aside, I noticed Amazon users have reviewed the site (I thought they just reviewed stuff Amazon sold ??) and have given it an enormous drilling for being so "money-orientated". What is it with the modern internet culture that people just think everything should be free? I had a quick go on answering some questions the other day and picked up 2600 points in the day -- that's some 25% the way to a full membership, thus giving me full access for free. If you don't know enough to contribute, you need to support the service in some way, and I can't see why that is unreasonable. Server space is not free, bandwidth is not free, staff moderation time is not free, so why should the service be?
I have built (with a colleague) a turn-based Go site (http://www.online-go.com) which is encountering the same problem. It's great fun to write, fun to play on, great community building up, but it is beginning to be quite a financial strain. The only option is to have memberships (with obvious bonus perks) to support the running of the site - I'd love to offer it for free but my hosts don't want to offer it to me for free, so what do I do?
Personally, I'd rather pay for a service than use it for free and be bombarded with "Free Smilies" and "You are the 1,000,000 visitor" ads, and other wildly annoying popups (even from corporations like IBM?!) that often get plastered everywhere.
For example, I really enjoy ZDNet.co.uk, but as I write I have a "sponsored link" advertised below to "100% Free Gay Teen Dating" (http://www.boy18.co.uk - probably NSFW, I didn't check) -- I have nothing against Gay Teen Dating but why is that next to a tech blog on a tech site? Where exactly is the relevance?
Anyway, am I the only one that feels that users should be prepared for those services that we find to be useful?

You’re about to discover one of the best kept secrets on the internet:
I call it, “Life After Adsense”.

And today, for the first time ever, I’m going to reveal how even a raw rookie can break free from the swamp of promotional B.S. and actually start making real money from your online efforts.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a “techie” who just needs some direction or a rookie who doesn’t know anything at all about internet marketing.
You’re in the right place.
The emails are pouring in. And everybody’s asking the same question…
