How to Increase Your Google Adsense CTR ?

At the begining of using Google Adsense, I want to earn some money with it. I think when people visit my blog, they will click on my Google ads and I will earn money. I used to believe that the more viewers visit my blog, the more money I can earn. I just pasted the ads code into my blog's template and waited for the huge amount of money come. Later I realized that without optimization, that's impossible. Here I will share all of the tricks to increase Google Adsense CTR that I found from my own and others' experiences.

1. When use the ads code, you must make sure the ads that are appearing on your site are closely related with your content.If your ads are not relevant, there's small possibility that people will click on them.

2. Blending your ads with your website themes such as background's color, links' color, text display color...People often don't click on your ads if they realize that they are going to click on an advertising link.

3. Use best performing ads such as 336x280, 300x250 or 250x250.These wide ads often work well on many different kinds of websites.

4. You should place your ads at the best positions on your site. Placing your Google Adsense ads at the following positions is the best choice:

the top position of your page that's visible without your visitor having to scroll down.

in the middle of an article. People tend to stop reading for a while and look for something different.

at the end of an article. After already read through your article, viewers often want to find more links with relative content.

5. Remember to use Link Unit ads. Try to place it near your navigation menu. Viewers sometimes don't realize that they are clicking on an ad.People will misidentify it as a navigation menu and automatically read it.

There are still many tips about this topic. I only write some most effective tips which I know here. If you have some more tips about how to Increase Google Adsense CTR, please share them with us. I hope these tips are hepful for you.

How to play Ogg format files?

Play Ogg, mp3, wma, mp1...

If you often work with audio files,perhaps you 've met the Ogg audio format files. When I met them the first time,I was really confused about how to play them.I tried using many players I have but they solved nothing. And I intended to search for a Ogg player on the internet. Luckily, when I told a friend about my problem, he gave me a useful Ogg player.That's XMPlay player.

XMPlay not only supports Ogg audio format, but also other popular formats such as: mp3, mp2, mp1, wma, wav.XMPlay's absolutely free. Its sound quality is really good. And its size's small, about 345Kb. You don't need to install it to run.When XMPlay runs, it uses less memory resource than other players. It's really a waste of memory when you run a big player just only for enjoying music. That also can slows your other running programs.That's one of the reasons why I choose XMPlay for playing Ogg files and enjoying music beside other players.

XMPlay is a Win32 (Windows 95/98/NT/2k/ME/XP/etc...) audio player, supportingseveral formats. Initially, when XMPlay was first released in 1998, only theXM format was supported, hence the name "XMPlay".

WMA playback requires the Windows Media Format modules to be installed. Theycome installed with Windows Media player, so will already be on most users'systems, but they can also be installed separately (WMFDIST.EXE is availableat the XMPlay website). If these modules are not installed, XMPlay will stillwork fine, just without WMA support.

You can download XMPlay here. I hope you enjoy it.

How to download Google Videos with original file format?

There are many friends asked me how to download videos from Google. At first I thought it's a difficult problem. I tried using Google Video and I found that I can download Google video with a download link provided by Google. The file I'll receive has the .gvp format. This file format can be played with Google Video Player.

But what will we do if we want to download the original video file with the .avi format or .wmv ..? The answer is using bookmarklet or JavaScript. If you want to save the original video file format without downloading Google's player, you can use a bookmarklet (JavaScript code). Make sure the link toolbar is visible in your browser. You can enable it if you go to View/Toolbars in your browser and check Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox, Links in Internet Explorer or Personal Bar in Opera. Then drag and drop the bookmarklet:

Download Google Video

At this time your toolbar will look like this :

Next time when you enjoy a video you like on Google Video, just click on the bookmarklet and save the video. Enjoy your videos!

Should we run many blogs or only one blog to generate more adsense income?

Using Google Adsense, you only need to register a website and then you can paste the ad code to many websites if you want. Many bloggers think running multiple blogs can generate more income. So, what 's the truth behind this? There are two ways of generating adsense income:

Running many blogs and receiving small earning

Running one good blog and generating more income

Many adsense beginners tend to run many blogs to generate more income. This idea may increase adsense revenue at the beginning. But later when you can't update your blogs' content with good posts it will not work any more. When you have many blogs to manage, you have to spend less time for each of them. Further, it requires more work leaving to incompletion of blogs. As a result, you feel tired and bored of blogging.

My advice to beginners of adsense is to make a complete, excellent, content rich, attractive single blog. Whether you like to have a blog with ranking 5,000 or many blogs with ranking 3,000,000 for each. And whether you want to make many blogs that will generate $2 - $3 each per day or to make only one blog that will generate $100 per day. Now, it's time to make decision. If you have one blog, keep it up. If you have more than one blog, you should find out if each is working well or not. Then continue with best blogs and terminate the bad ones.

Google runs TV ads

After months of speculation, Google has officially jumped into the television business.

The Web giant announced on Monday that it is partnering with EchoStar to sell commercials over the DISH satellite broadcaster's 125 national programming networks, an early indicator of how the Internet giant plans to use its $10.6 billion online ad business to conquer television.

Under the EchoStar deal, advertisers will use Google's AdWords automated auction interface to bid on ad spots. Advertisers can upload their TV commercials and select the desired time of day and channel, as well as choose regional or national area coverage. They can also target the ad based on a show's demographics, such as males 18 to 34 years old, said Keval Desai, director of product management for Google TV Ads.

We will wait to see their result in a new business field. And I think that this giant guy will succeed too, like his Google Adsense. Just because that's Google.
