In one of the buy to let properties I viewed recently there was an interesting arrangement of fitted furniture. In the living room was a built in cupboard from floor to ceiling at the side of the chimney, plus a very roomy understairs cupboards. Then in the third bedroom the vendors had installed one of the modern platform beds to make maximum use of limited space.

If the money in your pocket will not last until your next salary or pay packet, what do you do? Maybe you have run out of favours with friends and relatives and you do not know where to turn?  It is really frustrating when you maybe need only a matter of a hundred or two to get you through and pay the most pressing bills.

When it comes to buying games for our kids’ playstation, they seem to have an unending appetite for getting and playing the latest games they have heard about. They really like playstation 3 games that centre on fantasy adventure, action, racing and combat games. Standard stuff for most teenage boys, and these PS3 games can cost an awful lot when you are buying them every month.

To me it is obvious that you need to shop around online for the best prices when you want to buy Playstation video games, because the deals you can get online are much lower than the prices charged in the local shopping centre. Read more »

Adsense can help you to make money fast online, if you can find ways of getting the high paying Adsense ads to appear on your web pages. If you can learn how to make money this way your Adsense earnings are bound to increase.

I cannot be the only blogger who has found it difficult to use the Overture keywords tool and of course you only get access to the prices at Wordtracker if you are a paid member. But there is an easy way to find out the best keywords for your niche, the number of searches made on those keywords and how much advertisers are paying. This is Google’s Adwords tool. This is a tool designed for Adwords advertisers to decide how much to bid on keywords, and it will show you instant results on:

• Keyword Search Volumes
• Cost and ad. position estimates
• Search Volume Trends
• Possible Negative Keywords

I was thinking today about all the different infromation I have included on this site about the refinements you can make to your Adsense ads, to increase your Adsense earnings. But what if you are a newbie to the whole Adsense game? You need a guide to the Adsense and Adwords programs, to decide whether they can work for your business. Here is an excellent guide to Adwords and Adsense for beginners

Google AdWords and AdSense - A dynamic small business marketing duo

Unless you have been living under a rock for the last year or so, you probably know that Google has become the king of the search engine hill. There are many reasons for this but number one in my opinion is that above all else they put value on content. Today I want to introduce you to two very powerful small business advertising options created by Google.

These two ingenious programs have all but revolutionized the way advertising is done on the web. Warning: If you are thinking…”web advertising isn’t for me, I just need a few more clients around the block”…you better read this or be prepared to have your competitors eat your lunch.

Goolge AdSense - Again content is king at Google. This program allows web site “publishers” to add some code from Google and receive “content relevant” ads on their site from other site owners. Here is an example - those ads in the box on the right of the page are delivered by Google and are matched to the content on the page. When someone surfs to the page and decides to check out one of those ads, the web site owner earns a portion of the advertising revenue that Google collects.

The key here is that if you go to a site about quilting, you will see ads about quilting and not about dog grooming. I know this sounds so obvious but Google was the first to really figure this out.

This program has worked so well that some website owners are actually building content specific sites and paying for them solely through AdSense revenue. Small business owners should consider adding this feature to pages on their site for several reasons.

I’ve already mentioned the fact that there is money to be made, but what many site owners are finding is that because Google is so respected and because the ads are highly targeted…they are no longer looked at by surfers as ads, they are looked at as content.

Some will even go as far as to say that by putting the Google ads on your site you actually better your chances of higher rankings with Google. Google flatly denies this claim and I don’t think it is true but I do know that Google AdSense ads should be on every small business owner’s site. (Google AdSense)

Another Warning: This is somewhat complex stuff. This article is only meant to introduce you to the power of these programs. Check out Google Cash by Chris Carpenter for a deeper understanding of ways to make this work for you.

Google AdWords - I’ve already talked about those ads you see on websites, well those ads need to come from somewhere don’t they. AdWords is Google’s program for advertisers.

Any site that wishes to participate bids for “keywords” that are relevant to their product, service, or site and then creates ads to attract hits. These ads show up on private websites, like this example, and on the right side of Google search results like this search for “Free sales letters and tools” As you can see from this Google search you received the content related sites that you searched for but you also get some related ads that are sponsored.

Now here is where Google is genius. Instead of simply subjecting surfers to any ads that anyone is willing to pay for, they actually police the ads that are running. On some pay per click programs, whoever is willing to pay to most wins. Google uses a performance model. In other words an ad that is the most relevant and therefore receives the most clicks will move ahead of an ad that may pay more but isn’t as effective. This simple philosophy is why Google has quickly dominated the PPC world.

Okay…and now the really big innovation

Regional targeting. Google recently introduced a system that allows advertisers to target certain metropolitan markets only. In other words, a remodeling contractor who only wants to do kitchen remodels in say, Denver, can bid on the keyword phrase “kitchen remodel” and only have his ads show up for people who live in and around Denver.

The implication this has for local small business owners is staggering. In the example above, our Remodeler can now tap into highly targeted web traffic for pennies per lead. In my opinion, small business owner who learn the ins and outs of this medium will dominate their markets. (Google AdWords)

Look for more on this topic in the future.

When you do well with Adsense it can feel like winning the lottery, and there are plenty of Adsense publishers boasting of their high Adsense earnings. While most people cannot emulate everything the Super AdSense earners do… there are many winning ideas you can use for high clickthrough rates. Here are easy actions to take today to copy their success

1) Treat your AdSense business as a REAL business and track what you do
Begin tracking what you are doing that works… as well as what you are doing that does not work. This will keep you from making the same mistakes over and over, and you can repeat the steps that have worked in the past. As simple as this step seems… most people do not know the reason(s) for their success or failure.

2) Use the latest tools and software available
The Super AdSense earners are no smarter than your average person.I know many people think they are, but for the most part they are regular non techie people. They are smarter in one respect though - they use the latest tools available to them to automate most of the tasks involved with researching and creating sites. They use the latest keyword, site creation and search engine optimization tools available. The tools they use are their secret weapons. Read the Whole Story here

On my partner’s birthday we were desperately looking around for gift ideas. I thought of getting some good prints from our digital camera shots, and when we went to the shop to collect - that’s Me, my Mum and Kev - we noticed that they were selling a digital frame

There is no season where sunglasses cannot add to your image: yesterday I was in  a ladies’ boutique where the owner was wearing a pair of very cool baby phat sunglasses.  For someone with attitude, these shades make an impact wherever you go - even on a grey shopping afternoon in north London.

I was just listening to a programme on the radio about the British addiction to debt. Some nice upper-middle class people were talking about how they ended up unable to settle their debts - because of their penchant for expensive holidays, drugs and high living. These are extreme cases but there are inducements everywhere you look to take on extra credit and loans for the things you want. When I worked in a job that took me to some of the poorest housing estates I noticed that almost every home had a Plasma TV, even though most were living on benefits. If you see flashy TVs as essential then you need the income to cover them, but so many people seeking debt help have overstretched themselves to buy trashy consumer durables that have no resale value.
