I know that most of the internet marketers or those who are searching guides and websites on how to make money online, have their pdf lying around their hard drives. Most of those people get excited and then after buying the guide, they will keep it for a while and will forget about the guide after a new product hit the market again.

Here are some useful tips that you may want to try out if you are planning to read those “how to get rich” guides.

Try to print out those ebooks, because you’ll feel that you are reading a real book. And it actually helps, because by printing the pages, you are exerting effort means you have the will to do what was written inside the guide.

After reading the guide, try to “WRITE” down some important pointers that you learned within the guide you just read. Because by doing so, you don’t need to re-read everything again.

If you feel lazy writing down some good points, it’s ok. Why don’t you just “DO” as soon as possible the important techniques you just learned few minutes ago without “thinking” whether it would work or not.

So that are some basic tips that you may want to “do” now without hesitation. If you feel like reading some very good make money online guides, try getting some tips from this website first and read some guides now.

Increase Adwords’ Quality Score

Posted on 08 October 2007 by KantonFC

When I started Adwords, I’m not fully aware of those what they called Google’s slap. So what happened was, most of the keywords that I am bidding needs at least $5, $10 or at least higher than what should I am supposed to pay. I research for some strategies on how to lower my cost on bidding with keywords I have chosen. And came up of what they called “Quality Score”. If your keywords have a high quality score, then you will be paying lower to those who have lower quality score on their specific campaigns. After few research and testing, the price for the keywords that I am bidding become lower compared to the price that I cited earlier.

1. Basically these are the things I have done to lower the cost of advertising in Google Adwords:

2. Regrouped all the keywords based on their relevancy using Adwords Editor.
Created at least 2 “Text Ads” for each of the Ad group created.

Sample Text Ad:
(Ad Group Name) Blah Blah Blah
Text here, More Text, More Text
Blah Blah (Ad Group Name) Blah
www.domain.com/ad-group-name

3. Created a Landing Page that has a keyword rich specifically for each Ad Group or optimized for the keywords I am bidding. To make sure that the keyword can be seen, I set the keyword density from 2%-5%. The landing page should have at least 200-300 keywords.

After doing the 3 steps above, I noticed that the price for the keywords dropped. It means the cost will be lowered too.

I just noticed after few days, the price goes up again and found out that another factor that affects the pricing of the keywords and the quality score is CTR of the ad you have created. Although the increase for the bid is only few cents, it is still high to what should I’ve been paying. Basically, I need to edit my “Text ads” to have a higher CTR, so for the mean time I have to bid a little higher.

Earn Money on the internet with Google

Posted on 30 September 2007 by KantonFC

Most users who uses internet knows what Google is and we can’t deny that Google is one of the most commonly used search engine in the internet nowadays. And because of that, many site owners are optimizing their website, specifically for Google, to let the search engines drive traffic to their site. Meaning, the more traffic the search engine drives to their site, the more potential customers will visit their site.

If you are in a search on how to make money on the internet, Google is one of the money makers that will help you. Not only giving search results to web surfers is what Google do, but it also gives an option to the mass to make money online.

But how?

Google offers two different advertising programs to us, AdWords and AdSense.

If you are into publishing advertisements to earn money, Adsense is one good choice. By having a website, you can earn even without having any products to sell. What you need to do is create a website, and publish advertisements using Adsense. The catch is, you need to have a lot of visitors navigating your site or at least to have visitors. So means, you need to optimize your site as what I have mentioned earlier.

Another program that Google is offering is what we called AdWords. This advertising program is a good option if you have some products to offer from your site. By using AdWords, you are confident that the traffic that are visiting your site are targeted. Another advantage of using this program, Pay per click, is you can see the result faster compared to waiting the search engines to drive traffic to your site.

If you have opted to use Adsense, be aware about their “Terms and Conditions”. They are very strict regarding fraud clicks. Never try to click your own advertisements just for the sake of curiosity to prevent being penalized.

And if you have opted to use AdWords, you can use them to drive targeted traffic to your affiliates.

By the way, did I mentioned that you can use them simultaneously? Yes you can. Use AdWords to drive traffic to your site, and that specific site contains AdSense. Just remember not to have a website that is primarily built for AdSense because it may violate AdSense’ “Terms and Conditions”.

So if you are in the course in finding a way on how to make money on the internet, now you know that you can earn money with Google.
