Google AdSense: At Last I Get My First Earning

When I open my blogger account today, I get impressed by my AdSense report: $0.01 my first earning. Wow!

OK, this is what impress me: I have tried advice and suggestion on AdSense help and others source but they seem for advance user, not beginner like me. And the example they show usually for self hosted web site, and not for Blogger. I mean, for example, how to put the code in side body of article. You can see in this blog, ad placed in post area and this placement give me my first earning. I must try it by my self and Blogger doesn't give easier way to achieve it. Blogger only offer ads placement on sidebar and below post, and this not best placement based on my experiment. Although it is not CPC (cost per click) but CPM(cost per million), I understand now how important placement is.

Yes, its only $0.01, but my experience while learning AdSense system is more valuable and enjoyable. Many sources on net teach you how to get high payment, but remember blogging for money only will disappoint you.

Info Tempat Wisata Di Bengkulu: Rumah Bung Karno

Google Translate: Rewrite Blog in English

As you may notice, my blog now is heavily rewrite in English. This is to achieve more larger audience, because according to data on my Google Analytics account, most visitors who visit the tourism page are from foreign. Especially form Europe and US. So I think its good idea to rewrite my blog in English.
My blog's visitor overview last week

Also its to comply the Google AdSense policies program that mention ads only can be shown on English primary language page.

Some of my computer related posts are inactive while I am finishing my translation progress. I hope you be patience if you reach my blog to find computer article, and its disappear.

Its also my exam on writing in English, and yes, this the secret: I heavily use Google Translate service to help translate my posts :).

Affiliate Advertising Beside Amazon

Previously been discussed Amazon affiliate advertising. Besides Amazon, a few other affiliate worth a try:


-eBay Partner Network, the registration process a bit complicated and they will ask for your business model. I do not know the fashion business as what they want, perhaps a kind of on line stores or classified ads.I ever sign up for blogs www.galuhpakuan.com but not accepted :). Email replies from the registration process about 3 days. Replies received did not explain the cause rejection of the application clearly, only saying that this blog business model does not comply with their standards, negh!

-Google Affiliates Network (GAN), you must have been received in Google AdSense if you want to follow this program GAN. With the affiliate model, publisher / owner of the web can choose the desired own advertisers to serve ads on web pages. I have not tried this GAN, still complicated conquer AdSense :).

You must have a web site to apply this affiliate network, I suggest you register at trusted web hosting such as 000webhost or 25% off Website Builders at Go Daddy!.

Most of affiliate advertising model in principle is an ad-based CPA (cost per action). Meant something like this, for example, my blog  display ads iPhone4 from Amazon and the user clicks on the ad, the user will be taken to the Amazon web page, if the user buy the product before, then I will get 15% commission from sales of these iPhone4. This is just an illustration only, each advertiser will have the mechanism, the number of shared commission or other rules are different. Please read the rules of each advertiser prior to registering.

Please give it a try, good luck :).

Favorable Freeware

Freeware options worth a try:

Anti-virus: Avira, powerful enough local and long distance eradicate the virus. Feature for free version is only standard. No email protection features, web browsers and other search filtering. Light, items can not resource. Fairly stable, yet never make the system crash.

-Download Manager: Flashget, it is still less in terms of speed when compared to Internet Download Manager (IDM). Pretty good already support download torrent, web grabber. The latest version 3.3 appears to have many improvements, interface redesign experience.

Web development tools-PHP and Python: Eclipse

Java-Web development tools: NetBeans

-Web development tool. NET: Microsoft Visual Studio Express Edition

-PHP Framework: CodeIgniter, PHP frameworks are most easily learned and adapted. Completeness of the library is still less than the ZEN Framework or CakePHP. My favorite feature is the cache, good applied to the home page or other pages that have a high visit to boost performance. Again planing to make a tutorial for web use CodeIgniter develop, still looking for ideas:).

-Python web frameworks: Django, fast development web software tool based on Python. A bit complicated for beginners, if compared with PHP. The community is active, features and library quite complete.

-Javascript framework: Dojo toolkit, easy to use and complete. Creating AJAX-based applications become more rapid and simple.


-File compressor / decompress: 7zip, able to read and extract the ISO file on-the-fly without the need to burn to CD / DVD. Protect your data with AES-256 encryt for protection of sensitive files.

-DVD codec and player: K-Lite Mega Codec, complete codecnya, from DVD to OGG format has been supported.

-Virtualization: VirtualBox, learning tools networking and server management. Minimum 1GB memory so that the computer does not crash. Recommend if you're interested in learning Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and other Operating System. Can the practice of simulation file sharing Windows XP OS and Linux with Samba, the PHP-based web development testing or Python, so the simulation can be more scalable applications, learn and administer server security testing prior to application or system is on line.

TO BE CONTINUE ...

Not yet had time to write a full review :).

AdSense for Domains: Worth to Try for Park Domain

Park domain is a domain that is already registered but not yet on line. The domain registered in advance so as not taken. Suppose you have a well-known company PT. Forward Backward Prosperous and do not want anyone using the name majumundursejahtera.com. Then you can register a domain in advance and park (park) the domain of web hosting company before the web site so contrived. His grave if someone uses your company name as an adult website address :).


Generally, web sites that are not ready will display the text under construction, but now that domain park can be used for AdSense for Domains. Making it possible to display AdSense ads, meaning that there is an opportunity to generate revenue.


Ask the web hosting site domain register DNS for DNS to use Google. Namely:
ns1.googleghs.com
ns2, googleghs.com
ns3.googleghs.com
ns4.googleghs.com

Make sure the domain is redirected to the DNS server to use google to check the nslookup command in DOS.


This example I use a free domain www.distroworld.co.cc to be registered in the AdSense for Domains. On the dashboard AdSense Ads go into Setup, select the Get Ads, choose AdSense for Domains, select the Add new domain, enter the domain address at the prompt, select language, then click the Add domain.

Newly registered domains will enter the Pending tab. If you already approved AdSense, will go to the Active tab. To edit the design, keywords and the language, click the domain name will enter the editing menu. Setting the design according to taste. Keywords will affect the category of what ads are shown.

Read the full guide here, good luck :).

Google Analytics: Understanding the user behavior on web.
Still in the discussion of Google Analytics series, this time will discuss some of the features / terms important to know. From the data displayed, the user behavior on your web site will be analyzed.

Entrance Page: first page is opened the user when visiting a web per session. For example, you visit the blog and the page that opened galuhpakuan.com first is the Home page http://www.galuhpakuan.com, then that page is the entrance page. Session is when a user is still open galuhpakuan.com web page, if the user closes the browser / tab or open a web page of other sites on the tab on the web page galuhpakuan.com session ended. If the user back to visit galuhpakuan.com the first page that opens is http://www.galuhpakuan.com/search/Computers, then the entrancepage is  http://www.galuhpakuan.com/search/Computers.

Bounce Rate: Bounce is the term for the condition in which the user leaves the web without a browse one page another party after the in the entrance page. It is important to look at bounce rate of your website. The higher the bounce rate means that more users are not interested to browse your web content. There are many factors why the user is not interested to browse your web pages, such content is not appropriate interest, which is not attractive designs and other causes. Blog galuhpakuan.com have a bounce rate is still high, about 15%, well its name is just another web pollution:).

Top Landing Page: entrance page is the page the most frequently visited by users. This home page of this blog is still  its top landing page.


In-page Analytics: My favorite feature, this feature can be seen the percentage of clicks on each link on a page. The higher the percentage means that the higher interest of users on the page.

So first, good luck:).

Review Web Hosting Gratis

Free web hosting review:
While learning PHP, I usually test script on free web hosting. Good to test the script, there are times when we test the script on the local computer is working fine, but different results when it is uploaded to the server. AJAX-based applications in particular, need to simulate performance if accessed from a remote client browser (via internet).

Some free web hosting are commonly used:

     * www.x10hosting.com: unlimited space and cPanel! You also can set the DNS. But you should not use your official domain, just use a free domain such as from www.co.cc. His name is also free, just support from the existing forums. You must login to the forum at least once a month. If you do not log in within a month, your account will be forfeited. Login is SSL protected, email address and password will be better protected. Web hosting is my favorite. MySQL already exists with the latest version. There have been Scriptaculous, so if you want to install popular PHP CMS or other software to stay click.
     * www.000webhost.com: Limit space 1.5GB, was sizable for a test script. Forum still less active than x10hosting.com. SSL Login not yet supported. MySQL and PHP have the latest version. Speed ??is quite good. There is also a promo for an affiliate to advertise in the web.

Apart from the two favorites above, had also use www.awardspace.com, just had a couple of times down and speed is rather slow. So I have no use anymore. No free web hosting support python, if there is definitely exciting to learn Django Framerok :). Python applications can be hosted at Google Apps, but complicated, I wait who knows one wants free hosting for python.

x10hosting.com
000webhost.com

Tip Pass Google AdSense Registration

Blog www.galuhpakuan.com as of 22/03/11 has been fitted with an advertising Google AdSense ads, rather to enrich the atmosphere. Regarding the list of Google Adsense experience, I write here.

Not like AdBrite, Chitika and others advertising networks, AdSense tends fussy, complicated, and even the reason for rejecting the application  uncleared for beginner like me. Suppose you were rejected, the reason is partial refusal, meaning that not all details of the problem on your blog AdSense explain in email notification. If you have time to visit the forum, many are frustrated because they disapproved by AdSense :). I still keep its email, just a memento. In fact, AdSense has given a fairly good guide, maybe because I am clueless about computers.

Some of rejection:

Make sure the domain is propagating well before apply
Example to check DNS propagation

* Difficult site navigation: make sure your website on-line. Suppose you are blogging on blogspot.com  with a custom domain, make sure your domain already well-propagation. In the Microsoft DOS, you can check with nslookup command. Example: nslookup www.example.com.
*Your website should use top level domain (.com, .net, .info etc). You cant use sub level domain, eg. domain from free domain registrar. Register at GoDaddy.com to get your domain for low price.
* Content is not sufficient: the blog should already contain a minimum content of approximately 20 posts. Every post about 3 paragraphs around 500 characters. Content is very important! Crawler googlebot (google crawler machines) will read your web page and index it as a text browser. Content images, flash and audio will not be legible crawler. If your content is the majority of images, such as collection of photos, give a clear desccription and "alt" given the text that describes your photo. Try to check your web page with webmaster tools from Google or Microsoft to determine the level of legibility by the crawler, is already well indexed by crawlers or not. There is tool  provided  to preview the report, eg html code is valid, not found (File not found 404), or other useful suggestions.
 *Give more attention on you home page. Make sure there is no dead link on your main page!
* Language not supported: My current blog is written in Bahasa Indonesian. When registering with euweuh.blogspot.com address rejected language is not supported. Then I use a custom domain www.galuhpakuan.com and accepted for AdSense for Search. Your content must be in language that support by AdSense, please read here.
* Address is unclear, untrue, or not given: wow, this is the time to make annoyed. AdSense reject the application because I type the village name as the address :).  AdSense only accept addresses with a format like image below:

Example filling Application form


I chose the individual account, the name must match the name on your ID card / bank account,  important because you can not edit it later if the application has been approved.
For Indonesian applicant: Consider the example form above, the address bar begins road (Jl. Nama Jalan No. 1 ), without the prefix "Jl." application will be rejected, perhaps this automation in the AdSense system. Other information also adjust the KTP/ID Card. Phone number, eg your GSM number is 0821-1234-5678 then write the code given country, Indonesia code is +62, so 62-821-1234-5678. This number will be contacted google for example you have reached the threshold to get the PIN verification,  I never got a call :).

Although just a fad, I'm pretty happy my curiosity relieved. Ads AdSense advertising now "show up" also on  this blog, feel my blog  like it was real website :).

Good luck!
