Adsense Plugin for Wordpress

Here is the best plugin I have found for Wordpress blogs so far - this easy little plugin will integrate your Adsense ads in your Wordpress posts and pages and float the text round them seamlessly. This has to improve your clickthrough rates! I found this free plugin by searching on Google Code and I am sooo pleased with it. I had already tried some widgets and other plugins, and I was looking at some paid tools. They were all complicated to install and I was wondering if I would ever be able to place Adsense ads around my Wordpress blog posts. Read more »

Future with Adsense

I have been looking around at the conversations among real people (not just those trying to link to their latest ebook) on whether Adsense is a viable way to earn money online. We believe any income stream needs continual review, and AdSense is no different. There are three major areas of concern:

  • Publishers can make more money by keeping visitors on the site than sending them straight to a clickthrough link
  • That income can be cut off without notice by companies like Google.
  • Publishers have to work very hard to get visitors to their Adsense ads, and outside factors can reduce visitor numbers if the site search engine ranking falls.

    Google Display Advertising - By Invitation Only

    If you are a struggling Adsense publisher, you may not have heard of Google’s AdSense for domain, Google’s advertising channel for large domain name holders. Recently, Google started a new ad network but is not telling anyone about it – the Google Display Advertising Network.
    Google set up the Display Advertising Network to gain advertising form Fortune 500 companies, which buy brand recogntion advertising as part of a long term marketing campaign. The perception of Adwords advertisers is that they are small to medium enterprises buying direct response advertising. Google already dominates the text and CPC ad amrket, so display and video ads are the next logical step. Google offers display and video ads to AdSense publishers on CPC and CPM format already. However, the formation of the Display Advertising Network is a clear signal that Google really wants to push this forward. Unfortunately membership of the Google Display Advertising Network is by invitation only.
    These elite selected advertisers will be offered display and video ads at a very high CPM – unlike the AdSense network, the display network is 100% CPM based. Google will not divulge the revenue split to average AdSense publishers but they are much more open with the display network. Each member can negotiate a flat CPM rate with Google. The contracts are one year long and publishers have to guarantee to provide Google a minimum amount of ad inventory each month. Publishers can serve more than the minimum amount and still receive the same CPM rate.

    Adsense Custom Channels Show You What is Working

    Google now offers custom targeting channels for AdSense, an option that allows AdSense publishers to separate out the different google advertising blocks on their web pages. Adwords advertisers can also use the facility to monitor the top performing units and select them for their ads. Here is the official word on creating channels:

    ‘Custom channels allow you to track the performance of specific ad units based on your specified criteria. By pasting channel-specific ad code into your pages, you can track a variety of metrics across a range of URLs. Use custom channels to track the performance of different ad formats, for example or to compare different page topics to one another. To learn how to create and assign custom channels, please read How do I create custom channels?
