How to Earn Money with Google Adsense


Google’s AdSense is a fascinating revenue-sharing opportunity for small, medium and large web sites. Some webmasters are designing brand new sites specifically for serving AdSense text ads, however it’s against the AdSense rules to design a site purely for AdSense, so you’ll want to include a few Affiliate links or sell your own product, too.



Steps
1. Determine a goal for what you want to earn using AdSense. Of course, you want to earn a lot, but make sure it's realistic. Consider that to earn $1 a day per page, you need, per page:
o 400 visitors, 5% click-through rate (CTR) and average 5c payout.
o Or 200 visitors, 10% CTR and an average 5c payout.
o Or 100 visitors, 10% CTR, and an average 10c payout.
o Or 100 visitors, 5% CTR, and an average 20c payout
2. Build a skeleton set of pages that have no content, just titles and some meta tags. Ads could be displayed on them; although all you see are public service ads at first, but the very act of displaying ads on a page causes the AdSense web crawler to quickly fetch that page for analysis. A page with good content will thus begin showing relevant paying ads fairly quickly.
3. Build keyword-rich pages containing well researched, profitable keywords, and get lots of high quality links to your site. For example, if your site is about topics such as debt consolidation, web hosting or asbestos-related cancer, you’ll earn much more per click than if it’s about free things. On the other hand, if you concentrate only on top-paying keywords, you’ll face an awful lot of tough competition. What you want are keywords that are high in demand and low in supply, So do some careful keyword research before you build your pages.

Tips
· Quality is the most important part of any web site. If your site does not contain the content of expected quality the visitor might not come back,
· A great resource for earning money is using traffic driving sites like Flixya[1]. You can sign up for Google Adsense and Flixya, without the costs or time needed to build traffic or your own site.
· Avoid non-English characters on English pages. There is a bug which can cause these pages to show irrelevant French ads.
· Although Google doesn't release exact details as to how they determine the ads to serve on a given page, they do say that it's the text content of the page that matters, not the meta tags.
·
Warnings
· If you don't have any content, Google will have to guess what your page is about. It may guess wrong, and so the ads that it displays may not be relevant.
· Do not click your ads. If Google catches you, they have the right and will close your account and retain any earnings you might have.

New attraction in Bangladesh: Taka 1000 currency note



Dhaka, Nov 9 (IANS) Bangladesh has introduced new Taka 1000 currency notes and they are much in demand with many heading to street vendors in the capital and even paying extra money to get hold of one. While Bangladesh Bank, the country’s central bank that issued the new currency notes Oct 27, deals with the banks, the general public can collect them from vendors at Gulistan and Nababpur localities and at Sadarghat, the river front on the Buri Ganga.
Bangladesh’s currency was the Pakistani Rupee in the East Pakistan era. On independence in 1971, the country changed to its traditional currencies, Taka and poisha.
Vendors doing brisk business with the notes said that it has become the hottest merchandise and people are paying extra to get hold of one, The Daily Star said Sunday.
The 1000-taka note is a blend of reddish-violet shades. It bears a picture of the Central Shaheed Minar, the memorial for those who died to preserve the Bengali language and culture in 1954, on one side and a picture of Curzon Hall of Dhaka University on the other.
Curzon Hall is a landmark building named after a British Viceroy. The bill also has a few Bangla alphabets printed on it.
The central bank also took blind people into consideration while designing the note. The 1000-taka note, a little larger in size than any other notes, has the amount written in Braille and has dots on the right side of the note.
Said Monirul Islam, a dealer of the new notes at Gulistan: “For us Eid is usually the best time for business when most people exchange old notes for new ones. However, after the 1000-taka note was launched everyone who walks by has shown tremendous interest.”
They charge Taka 10 to 20 as commission for each 1000-taka bill. The vendors collect them directly from Bangladesh Bank counters.
A man “buying” the note from a vendor at Gulistan said: “I want to collect it as it has been released for the first time in the country.”
Another buyer Abdul Halim, a trader from Stadium Market, said he would present the note to his daughter

Top 10 Work At Home and Home Based Business for earning dollar


Top 10 Work At Home and Home Based Business
Hi everyone: Today's issue is about a very important topic that we've never covered in depth before: home-based business scams and work-at-home scams. However, before we get going, an important point: The FBI reports Web fraud claims rose sharply in 2002. In fact, they *tripled* from a year earlier. Not a surprise to Internet ScamBusters readers. OK. Let's get started...

Top 10 Work At Home and Home Based Business Scams and How to Avoid Them - Part 1
Home-based business and work-at-home opportunity scams rank very high on the list of the top types of Internet fraud. In this issue, we'll focus on the Top 10 home-based business/work-at-home scams. We'll give you the straight goods on envelope stuffing, mystery shopping, and other common home-based business "opportunities" you may have seen floating around the Net. Then in the next issue, we'll give you some important tips you can use to kick the tires of any online job offers or business opportunities you find so you can protect yourself from those that are scams. Work-At-Home and Home-Based Business Scams There are two basic types of scams involved here. Scammers using both types are aiming at folks who want to make money from home, either by:
1. Having you work from home, doing envelope stuffing, craft assembly, or other tasks where you are (supposedly) paid by a company as an employee. There are certainly some legitimate telecommuting jobs, but work-from-home jobs are often just big scams. Before we go any further, a sobering quote: "There are very few legitimate [work-at-home job] opportunities available," says Beverley Williams, President and Founder of the American Association of Home-Based Businesses.
2. "Helping" you start your own home-based business, as a mystery shopper, network marketer, or other businesses where the only money anyone sees is the money the scammer pockets. Certainly, there are LOTS of legitimate businesses that can help you start your own home business. We'll help you figure out which are real -- and which are just scams. Our goal with Internet ScamBusters is to save you time, money and heartbreak before you fall for the scams. Remember -- if it sounds too good to be true... *it probably is*. Why Are These Scams So Successful? It all comes down to psychology. Besides the "make money fast" dream that many Internet newcomers fall prey to, home-based "opportunities" scammers mooch off the following groups. Perhaps you belong to one or more of them: 1. The Sick, Disabled, or Elderly: If you are elderly, ill, or have a disability, you may have problems landing a traditional job. 2. The Stay-At-Home Mother: Whether you have a spouse or you're single, you may be looking to supplement or create an income while raising children.
3. The Low-Income or No-Income Family: You or your spouse may have just lost your job, and you feel desperate and anxious to find work as the bills pile up. 4. The Person Without Higher Education: You're not stupid or dumb -- you just didn't go on to college or university. To summarize, these scammers are often preying primarily on the sick, the disabled, the elderly, the unemployed, parents, and people without a lot of money.
The Top 10 Home-Based Business/Work-At-Home Scams
Note: These scams are not ranked by dollars lost or people scammed. In fact, there's nothing scientific about the list. It's just the ten home-based business scams we find the most disturbing. 10. Craft Assembly This scam encourages you to assemble toys, dolls, or other craft projects at home with the promise of high per-piece rates. All you have to do is pay a fee up-front for the starter kit... which includes instructions and parts. Sounds good? Well, once you finish assembling your first batch of crafts, you'll be told by the company that they "don't meet our specifications." In fact, even if you were a robot and did it perfectly, it would be impossible for you to meet their specifications. The scammer company is making money selling the starter kits -- not selling the assembled product. So, you're left with a set of assembled crafts... and no one to sell them to. 9. Medical Billing In this scam, you pay $300-$900 for everything (supposedly) you need to start your own medical billing service at home. You're promised state-of-the-art medical billing software, as well as a list of potential clients in your area. What you're not told is that most medical clinics process their own bills, or outsource the processing to firms, not individuals. Your software may not meet their specifications, and often the lists of "potential clients" are outdated or just plain wrong. As usual, trying to get a refund from the medical billing company is like trying to get blood from a stone. 8. Email Processing This is a twist on the classic "envelope stuffing scam" (see #1 below). For a low price ($50?) you can become a "highly-paid" email processor working "from the comfort of your own home." Now... what do you suppose an email processor does? If you have visions of forwarding or editing emails, forget it. What you get for your money are instructions on spamming the same ad you responded to in newsgroups and Web forums! Think about it -- they offer to pay you $25 per email processed -- would any legitimate company pay that? 7. "A List of Companies Looking for Homeworkers!" In this one, you pay a small fee for a list of companies looking for homeworkers just like you. The only problem is that the list is usually a generic list of companies, companies that don't take homeworkers, or companies that may have accepted homeworkers long, long ago. Don't expect to get your money back with this one. 6. "Just Call This 1-900 Number For More Information..." No need to spend too much time (or money) on this one. 1-900 numbers cost money to call, and that's how the scammers make their profit. Save your money -- don't call a 1-900 number for more information about a supposed work-at-home job. 5. Typing At Home If you use the Internet a lot, then odds are that you're probably a good typist. How better to capitalize on it than making money by typing at home? Here's how it works: After sending the fee to the scammer for "more information," you receive a disk and printed information that tells you to place home typist ads and sell copies of the disk to the suckers who reply to you. Like #8, this scam tries to turn you into a scammer! 4. "Turn Your Computer Into a Money-Making Machine!" Well, this one's at least half-true. To be completely true, it should read: "Turn your computer into a money-making machine... for spammers!" This is much the same spam as #5, above. Once you pay your money, you'll be sent instructions on how to place ads and pull in suckers to "turn their computers into money-making machines." 3. Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) If you've heard of network marketing (like Amway), then you know that there are legitimate MLM businesses based on agents selling products or services. One big problem with MLMs, though, is when the pyramid and the ladder-climbing become more important than selling the actual product or service. If the MLM business opportunity is all about finding new recruits rather than selling products or services, beware: The Federal Trade Commission may consider it to be a pyramid scheme... and not only can you lose all your money, but you can be charged with fraud, too! We saw an interesting MLM scam recently: one MLM company advertised the product they were selling as FREE. The fine print, however, states that it is "free in the sense that you could be earning commissions and bonuses in excess of the cost of your monthly purchase of" the product. Does that sound like free to you? 2. Chain Letters/Emails ("Make Money Fast") If you've been on the Internet for any length of time, you've probably received or at least seen these chain emails. They promise that all you have to do is send the email along plus some money by mail to the top names on the list, then add your name to the bottom... and one day you'll be a millionaire. Actually, the only thing you might be one day is prosecuted for fraud. This is a classic pyramid scheme, and most times the names in the chain emails are manipulated to make sure only the people at the top of the list (the true scammers) make any money. This scam should be called "Lose Money Fast" -- and it's illegal. 1. Envelope Stuffing This is THE classic work-at-home scam. It's been around since the U.S. Depression of the 1920s and 1930s, and it's moved onto the Internet like a cockroach you just can't eliminate. There are several variations, but here's a sample: Much like #5 and #4 above, you are promised to be paid $1-2 for every envelope you stuff. All you have to do is send money and you're guaranteed "up to 1,000 envelopes a week that you can stuff... with postage and address already affixed!" When you send your money, you get a short manual with flyer templates you're supposed to put up around town, advertising yet another harebrained work-from-home scheme. And the pre-addressed, pre-paid envelopes? Well, when people see those flyers, all they have to do is send you $2.00 in a pre-addressed, pre-paid envelope. Then you stuff that envelope with another flyer and send it to them. Ingenious perhaps... but certainly illegal and unethical.
