Adsense for content and searchesGoogle Adsense for Search is
different than Adsense for Content but it is just as important to your
earning power with the Google Adsense program.
Just like Adsense for Content places targeted ads on your content
pages, Adsense for Search places targeted ads on the results page of the
search set in motion on your page.
You can use the standard Google search box on your site and the user
can then search the web or even your site. When you feel more
comfortable, you can change the look of the Google search box,
essentially customizing it by changing the colors and using your logo.
The best thing about Google Adsense for Search is that you can track
what your visitors are searching for. That is, if the search has two or
more hits. Unique queries will not be tracked. But you can see the top
25 searches performed from your website by clicking on the Advance
Report from the Reports tab and specifying a date range.
Like anything else, you’ll get out of Google Adsense what you put
into it. The following optimization tips can help you grow your Google
Adsense dollars:
Write interesting content and write every day.
Have more than one site. The more sites you have, the more ads have
the potential to get clicked.
Set up channels and monitor your statistics across all sites. If one
site is performing poorly, consider changing the content or the ad
layout.
Experiment!
Change the ad layout and notice which layout works the best for you.
There are many different layout options and there’s no way you can know
going in which one will perform the best.
If you’re blogging, writingup.com has a list of profitable topics.
They state that you don’t have to write on those topics but you might
give it a try or at least plug some of them in to the search engines.
Google different key words and phrases and notice how much and what
kinds of content and ads you see.
How to Apply to the Google Adsense Program
Applying for a Google Adsense account is quick and easy for any
interested webmaster. Just point your browser to www.google.com/adsense
and click on apply. Click on the drop down arrow under account type and
select whether you’re an individual or business. If you’re not sure
which one to choose, click on the question mark to the left. Next,
select your country or territory.
Under website information, it asks for your primary URL. If you have
your own website, list it here. If you are using a blogging site such as
writingup.com or bloggingparty.com that URL goes here.
Select your website’s primary language. Google adsense supports
Chinese (simplified), Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German,
Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese,
Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.
Select the product you want on your pages. Adsense for Content means
you will have advertising targeted to the content on your pages. For
instance, if you write about flooring, you might have carpet ads on your
page. Adsense for Search is for you to add a Google search box to your
pages. To maximize your Google Adsense earnings, you will want to have
both.
After that, it’s just the regular contact information and you’re all
set. You should receive an email in 2 or 3 days letting you know if your
application is approved.
Do I Have to Pay Taxes on My Google Adsense Earnings?
Google Adsense is required to collect tax information from those who
participate in the program. If you’re a business, you’ll need to put
your EIN number on your application. If you’re an individual, all you’ll
need is your social security number. If you don’t have that information
when you initially sign up, you can still apply for the Google Adsense
program. But be advised that Google Adsense will withhold payments to
you until they receive your tax information.
While Google does not withhold taxes or provide any tax advice, they
will send you a 1099 once your earnings reach a certain amount. Of
course, if you are a Non-US business and have no activity in the United
States, you will not need to provide this information. For more tax
information regarding the Google Adsense program, visit the Google
Adsense Support site. For other tax-related questions or concerns, you
can log onto www.irs.gov.
Still more important - if you want to earn a living online then
you should have a strategy and a business plan. For guidance on this go
