Ive got a google adsense account that was created when some of my youtube videos started getting a few hits, i setup the account, because it kept annoying me to set it up, then forgot about it.

i was talking to a freind a few days ago, who said that he gets about £25 a month from them from his small site, now i know its not a huge amount, but itd pay for my broadband each month, so i delved into my adsense account, and it looks like im earning about 46p a month just from youtube lol

anyway

i have a small blog that gets around 1000 visitors a day (over 200k in the last 7 months or so) so i thought i put the google ads thingy on there as well

i followed all their instructions, put the code into the sites source code, but all i see is a blank white space where the ads should be

all google help says is to paste the code in, and they do the rest

can anyone who has used this offer any advise please?
 
A had a movie site made with moonfruit (moviehunta.com) a few year back and had google adsense Im sure I had to pay them £20 or something though, and also plenty newsgroup affiliates dvd rentals aswell, and to be honest the money I made of them was peanuts and did not even cover, the £20 I was paying a month site space.

I was only getting about 60 users a night though and eventually lost intrest I reckon if your already getting a 1000 keep it up you will do alot better then I did lol.

You already linked your blog with facebook twitter etc and get a good META TAG programme to give you tips will really improve the hits.


I just rememberd I really improved my hits by putting new cinema releases names in my META TAGS every time a big movie came out I used to edit my META and put the movie name in there stuff like that really helped,

i dont know anything about meta tags or even how to make the blog show in search engines lol. ive paid for the server that hosts the blog a lump sum for the year a while back as it worked out cheaper that way, and i must say, the service that i get is excellent, if i could get this ads thing to cover next years costs, then thatd be even better, and if it could get more visitors, to bump up what the ads thing could generate, then thats even better again

i have posted a link to the blog on facebook a few times, as well as on here, and the blog also has a link to DW, but thats about as far as ive got with 'spreading the word' lol
 
Every page on your blog should have a good page title / Content / Meta Tag I had 7 pages so the welcome page, page1 I used to put thing like FREE MEMBERSHIP MOVIES FILM STARS BRAD PITT etc etc in the META TAG

PAGE 2 I had stuff like FREE DESKTOP WALLPAPERS 3D HIGH RESOLUTION WARNER BROTHERS ODEN PICTURES HOLLYWOOD

and so one page 3 I had loads of new movies releases, the meta tags are the most important thing on your blog site as this is what search engines pick up.

One my last page I put stuff in the meta tag that did not even have anything to do with movies, but I knew alot of people would be searching for like, Clone Acecard 2i firmware 8.5 Free NDS ROMS EUROVOX FIRMWARE NARGRA3 etc etc. Basically I put things in there that I knew alot of people were searching for just to attract them to my site, So on the last page of my site I just made a handy url,s page and I had a about 100 links to forums newspapers generally free stuff.


GOOD TIP make a free site with moonfruit just to mess about the give you meta tag tools instructions info how to use them, widget info how to get on google moonfruit propper gives you works for free but there crafty because you can only have 1GB of webspace for free then you have to pay so much a month for large space.

But just use them as a learning tool Im thick as fook and I learnt loads in 2 days, Infact in 2 weeks I had my site on page 4 in google just by typing in FREE MOVIES.

So spend a day on moonfruit using there tools and you will learn loads m8. you will have your blog hits shooting through the roof.
 
do i need to do things like that to get the ads to show though? as a blank white space wont count as an ad will it, lol

What kind of adds ? Sign up to a free affiliate site and you then you can choose from loads of adds, the email you the code and the logos to paste in your web pages.

It sounds like you have not got any web building tools which makes things really simple to edit your pages put adds in change your meta tags control what members can access certain pages. You can even set up admin accounts share administration, you really do need to have a good look at a site like moonfruit and see what web building tools can do.

It makes everything much easier and you see the light, once you join affiliate groups and get there adds and code to insert them in your site you will see how easy the code is and how you can adjust the size of your logos to fit your pages.

There,s plenty free web building stuff flying about.

Just popping this in the S Zone m8 under apps it might help.
 
META tags go inside the head tags:
Code:
You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

These days META tags that are not reflected in the content of the page are ignored. Google frowns on spamming META tags; you can find your site bumped down the rankings or, in extreme cases of abuse, delisted. Also it's probably against Adwords' T&Cs.

As for SEO in general:
  • Some elements can have their own title attributes, including images and tables. For example:
    Code:
    You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.
    In this example the alt attribute gives the description that screen readers will speak, the title gives the "hover over" text when the cursor stays on the image for more than a couple of seconds.
  • Ideally each page should have a different title and meta tags based on the content of that page.
  • Site maps are said to help.
  • Making your site more disabled "friendly" is said to boost search results. However, this may be just because the code is generally "cleaner" on those sites. An example of clean code is making sure all tags are nested and "closed" properly.
  • Cross linking with other sites should boost page ranks. So as well as Facebook, youtube and Twitter, get yourself on LinkedIn, Google+ etc (Google have recently relaxed thier pseudonym ban for Google+ accounts).
However, I'm rather rusty so much of this may be out of date.

Sorry dude my bad only the banner is there :(
 
It normally takes a few hours for your adverts to show/update.

Without a doubt google is the best for web based content. we show adsense to guests.

But make sure you are familiar with the google asense policy it wont take long before you are removed from there service otherwise... they are very strict.

I have wrote numerous code to make sure that adsense adverts are not shown in certain posts etc (keyword replaces).
