Tips to increase your Adsense earnings through your blog or website.

So you know the advertising networks to monetize your blog or website. I know there are many people who are trying to earn money through he blog and many of them are still struggling to make handsome income. I have been through those conditions (still am i in the same condition but now i know the secret!) and during my journey in blogging and article writing at various revenue sharing sites I was able to gain some good insights in this topic. So lets discuss about how to increase the adsense earnings?
In my opinion only three factors are of most important when we consider the earning through Adsense:

1. Uniqueness and originality of your content. Which boosts your page impressions. And if you have these two qualities in your blog you will retain the traffic.
2. Number and positions of advertisement placed on your blog or website.
3. Number of page impressions.

Now all these things depend on each other. That said, uniqueness and originality of content will give you good traffic thereby increasing your page impressions. At this point you need to choose correct add formats and place them at proper places. Because even if you have considerable number of visitors and if they can not see your adds then there are very less chances of them to click any of your adds. So here is list of tips that should be followed to increase your adsense earnings:

1. First of all try to get good traffic to your blog. That be can be achieved by creating unique and original content along with using proper keywords in proper density inside your article. So keyword research and some SEO tips will definitely help you.
2. Use the combination of image and text adds. You know one image is equal to thousand words. Also remember only image adds might give your blog unprofessional look. So just balance them.
3. Try to use standard add units in standard format. They looks professional and are not irretating.
4. Use the tool 'above the fold' which tells you how better your placement is. If your adds above the fold indicated by this tool then you have highest chances of earning through them.
5. Test your adds as being normal user to your site. If you can find them easily then it is good. If you can not find them then try to change the placement of adds.
6. Use appropriate and clear theme for your blog.
7. Try one horizantal add unit inside the navbar or above the post.
8. Adsense has started ranking sites based on their pur adsense performance. You can find your blog's performance score by logging in your adsense account and if it is very low then try to increase the performance score by using the tips provided by Adsense.
9. 3 to 4 units per page is always best. But beyond that you will loose professional look and feel of your blog.
10. Sometimes you should experiment with your add placement and add types. That will give you some performance data.
11. Do not block too much adds. That might prevent adsense from displaying some very relevant adds.

There is trick or any rocket science to increase. Best formula is increase the traffic to your blog by creating good content; even that can not guarantees you some fixed income. Also it is not possible to compare the adsense income of two blogs even if they have same traffic amount, because adsense earnings depends upon many factors including visitors path.
There are some other options like affiliate marketing and using some other online advertising network to monetize your blog along with Adsense. So as said earlier there are no particular steps that can be taken to increase your adsense earnings; though the only one way is to keep trying and keep experimenting until you start earning some good income from your blog.

Top five independent affiliate marketing programs for indian bloggers.

In last post about top 5 ways to make money from your blog I have mentioned affiliate marketing as one of the way to make money from your blog. In this article we will review the india's best affiliate sites which are also e-commerce sites. Now we will review the top e-commerce affiliate sites in India:

Flipkart:


Flipkart is the number one e-commerce site in India (though there are serious glitches in their service!). When it comes to online shopping Indian customers will definitely move towards flipkart site. So you will good chances of earning. Still Indian customers are not too open about Amazon and ebay when it comes to online shopping. They prefer their own version of Amazon. Flipkart affiliate program is trusted and tested over the times. It has great tools to add banners and links in your website. But flipkart's commission rates are slightly lower. They will pay the commission of 1% for products in the category home & kitchen, personal health care, audio, gaming devices and consoles while commission rate for computers and laptops is only 0.5% but you will get 10% commission on books! So products with high value have very less percentage but due it's high price you will make handsome income using flipkart's affiliate program. You can payout in the form of flipkart coupens as well as you can payout as cash in your bank account also.

Snapdeal:


Snapdeal is another trusted and valued e-commerce site in India. Snapdeal also offers wide range of products and good opportunity for their affiliates to make some handsome income using their affiliate program. Snapdeal pays flat 10% commission for every electronic product purchased on their website using affiliate link but their is one glitch. The glitch is that you can earn a maximum of Rs.1250 of commission per sale! For other products snapdeal pays 20% flat commissions and you earn maximum of 1250 Rs. per sale in this category also. So maximum you can earn for a sale Rs.1250, no matter what is the price of product. As declared on their affiliate page your commissions will be show as per the rate of 10% of every purchase for categories other than electronics products it will be adjusted to 20% at the time of validations. So it is also one of the best affiliate programs for Indian bloggers.

Amazon India:


Amazon is the big boss in e-commerce category, and we can not deny that. Though in India their journey has been very difficult and they are getting steady in their business. Amazon has the worldwide presence and it can definitely offer some extra services and tools to their affiliate marketers. It is also tested and trusted affiliate program which is definitely not a scam. Amazon pays higher commission rate for their affiliate partners. For ex.As an affiliate partner of amazon you can earn 4% on electronics (Which is more than flipkart and snapdeal!), 15% on shoes and clothing, and 10% on all other products. It pays definitely higher than its competitors but please go through the conclusion paragraph before you decide which to join and which to avoid.

ebay india:


eBay may prove to be good option for Indian bloggers to make some money online through their blog. But there some glitches and difficulties in their program. You can read the problem faced by India's one of the top blogger Mr. Amit Bhawani here. Though we don't know the actual matter, I feel that these sites should help their problems by discussing instead of banning of accounts. But if you leave such matters as they arise only sometimes, it is good option tomake money from your blog. Sometimes you can earn upto 200% of commission rates as explained on their site. For this you have direct reactivated customer (customer who has not bought anything since last 12 months as per their site.). I tried to find their commission rate but I could not find them in detail. But if sum up all the opinions around the web ebay is good affiliate marketing choice. Along with that ebay has good tools to promote their product on your blog or website.

Jabong:


Jabong has very less number of trusted customers and they working hard to grow it. But if we think about trustability factor then it lags. Trustability in sense of customers only! It is also paying and guanine affiliate marketing program for Indian bloggers but if their customer base is not good then customers will tend to buy their goods from other sites. Jabong offers commission rate of upto 10% per sale but they don't provide detailed information about commission rates. Still it is good affiliate marketing program.

Affiliate marketing is among the best ways to make money online. If your site has hight to moderate traffic then you can earn good income through it but for blog eith low traffic it will difficult to convert those less users in users. To get success in affiliate marketing you need to have your blog dedicated for specific niche, which will give you higher conversion rates.
While choosing affiliate networks make sure you are choosing more than two. Because when it comes to users they might like to purchase from one site while they hate purchasing from other sites. Another reason for choosing more than two affiliate programs is that sometimes same item may have different prices and you can show users the price comparison there by helping them to buy the item more efficiently. Also there is not limit on joining of affiliate programs and most of these are programs are very easy to get approval.
Although you might join one of these networks but there is always an open option to make money from your blog. Here is the list of top ten advertising networks for your blog and you might want to checkout these

Adsense:

Only two are enough to describe this program:simple and unbeatable! Yes this advertising network has changed the nature and culture of online advertising.

It puts label 'sponsored links' wherever you are placing adds so the users will be aware those are paid links and 99.99% of times those links will be relevant so users will not feel they are cheated or misled.

So whenever user visits your blogs he/she may likely move their pointer and when the pointer counters those identified keywords it will display adds in small square box. Another ways used by infolinks are placing some aggregated keywords in some specified place in your blog or inframe, infold etc. This is best option to combine to increase your online earning through blog.

Kontera:

Kontera is advertising network which is much like infolinks! It takes the concept of 'intext' adds to serve you adds based on identified keywords.Kontera is not much efficient network in my opinion and they don't provide you with very good reports about performance of your adds. It is also difficult to your total income at any point of time and for this simple task you need to raise a support ticket and keep waiting for their reply. But good thing is that they answer your support withing 24 hours most of the times. Advantages of using Kontera:
1. Simple and easy to get approval.

Top five ways to earn money from your blog or website.

After creating a blog of your own, you might want to earn some money from it. So, how a blog or website can earn money? What are the some ways to make money online using your blog or website? How much can I earn from a blog or website? Well you will get answers to these questions in this blog post.
So how much money can you earn from your blog? Answer to this question is not specific and anyone in the world is not in position to tell you this. Because it depends upon many factors such number daily and monthly page impressions, the ways you are using to monetize your blog, monetizing networks you are using, your niche and also path of users to your website. For ex. a user who comes to your site through search engine can earn you more money than a users who directly clicks your blog link from somewhere on the internet. So it depends upon lots of factors and motivating thing in this is that many people are earning about a 1,00,000 Rs. and more per month from blogging itself. So it is best way to earn second income in your spare time.
In this article we will see some ways to monetize your blog or website to make money online.

Top five ways to earn money from your blog:

1. Using advertising networks:
Using advertising networks to monetize your blog is the best way to earn money from your blog. You don't have to worry about much things in this case. Just you have to create quality and unique content and the advertising networks will do the remaining job. For ex:if you have written your review about some restaurant in your city and some users have landed on this page. Then these advertising networks will automatically choose the advertisements related to restaurants and food. So you do not need to worry about other things and these will be the best adds related to of your article. Another way these advertising networks use to decide the types of adds to be shown is by using the cookies on users browser. Browser stores some data in form cookie (cookie is information in form of key and related data) so if you have previously searched for Domino's outlet then these advertising networks will choose those related adds for your users. The relevance of adds is most important factor while it comes to the online advertising business. It is beneficial for all publishers, advertisers and users also even if they click on some adds they will be redirected to another page relevance, so they will not feel like they are betrayed or cheated. The top online advertising networks are:
1. Adsense
2. Infolinks
3. Chitika
4. Bidvertiser
5. Kontera
6. Clicksor
7. Media.net
8. RevenueHitz
9. Adhitz
10. Affinity Addz
2. Selling space from your blog to advertisers:
It is the second best way to make money online from your blog, in my opinion. If you some good number of daily page impressions (like minimum 100 page impressions daily) then you can use this way to earn money from your blog. The best of part of this option is that you never have to worry about click through rate, eCPM which matters when you use either advertising network or affiliate marketing for monetizing your blog or website. The main disadvantage selling your space for adds is sometimes your users may feel that these advertisements are irrelevant to what they are looking for. But one most important advantage is that if your daily impressions is in few thousands then you can earn some fix income per month. List of top five add space selling websites:
1. BuySellAdds
2. BlogAds
3. PublicityClerks
4. Project Wonderful
5. AdEngage
3. Affiliate marketing:
Affiliate marketing is placing some kind of links or advertisements on your website and help (or force?) your users to buy some products or online service. Here are also two types of affiliate networks:one that pays you per click as well as per sell generated by your link and others which pays only for sells generated through your links. Choice is yours as both have their pros and cons. For ex. affiliate networks which pays per click and per sell will give you somewhat less commission and affiliate networks which pays you for only sells generated will pay you somewhat higher commissions per sell. The most important thing to note about this type monetizing service is that you must join the affiliate networks which are related to your niche. If you are writing blog on one topics and placing affiliate products from another subject then you might not never earn from these kind of monetizing. Just remember the relevancy factor here. For ex. if you are writing reviews of books or if you have blog on some programming language then you can put products like books or online courses as your affiliate marketing products. List of top ten Indian affiliate market networks:
1. Tyroo Media pvt ltd
2. OMG Network
3. Payoom
4. Vcommissions
5. DGM
6. True trac
7. Pennyful
8. Cashkaro
9. iCubes
10. Clickzoot
4. By writing product reviews:
The next way to earn money from your blog is by writing reviews of products. Yes there are some websites which are listed after this paragraph which pays you to review their products and write articles about them. But for this your website blog must have some pagerank. They will list some task about writing articles and you have to choose and apply for particular task. So if your blog or website belong to that particular niche then your task will be approved and you will get after submitting the written article on your blog. Sometimes you may not get the appropriate task to write articles on you might have to wait for some time. But this option will increase your number of articles and your article might feature in product website giving you valuable backlinks along with money. Also this option won't block your other add space it is must to use option for online earning along with above options. List of paid to review websites:
1. Blogvertise
2. Pay Per Post
3. Review Me
5. Selling your own services:
Yes it is also one of the to make money for blogger. Being a blogger you are earning some reputation by writing different articles on one niche. Meanwhile you will also get the practical knowledge about many things like online promotions, Search Engine Optimization, Online advertising networks etc. So once you have established yourself as professional blogger you can earn handsome money by giving your services to other persons. But remember you need to spend time and you need to be perfect in services you are providing. Along with these ways you there are also more ways like you can charge for public speaking or you can write your own book (because after having some good reputation in particular niche it will be easier for you to sell your book) or you can start your online news letter dedicated to particular and subscription for which will be paid.

Actually there are lot of ways to earn money after you become successful blogger like these! You will get many chances as your online reputation increases. But for building this reputation and your own online user base you need to dedicate yourself at least some hours for week for this purpose! Again there is no definite period for doing or achieving anything of above, well it depends on many things which I have described while answering to question how much can I make from my blog in second paragraph above!

How to start your own blog-a step by step guide to start your own blog.

Isn't it a great thing to start!
Now many people know these facts and they want to start their own blog but million dollar question where and how? Yes it is the big question for new bloggers who wants to start their own blog.

In last 3-4 years I have learnt many things started many blogs with one or two posts then applied for Adsense and got rejected! You might not believe but my Adsense application is got rejected more than 100 times literally before I got finally approval. And the reason behind that was because I was not following the simple terms and conditions for Adsense approval. So lets see where and how to start your own blog:
