Why Do You Charge A Fee To Review Blogs?

Obviously you just don't know how much people are charging for a blog review.

Oft times people willl pay for their blog to be reviewed because they will want to know why their blog isn't getting traffic or how does their blog look. They want to know why they don't get comments, how well placed are their adsense ads, etc.

Now there are lots of free sites on the Internet that give very helpful advice but its really up to the person who wants their blog reviewed.

I just let my work speak for itself.

Plus this is a very good lesson for those who are still new to adsense and earning money online. No matter what it is you want to do to earn money - someone is always going to put you down. It's what you do next that counts!

Are You New To Adsense? Need To Know More About Adsense?

Well the basic thing is first that you have to have a website or blog that is already on the Internet. If you don't have one already then you can get a free blog at blogger.com - blogger.com encourages you to add adsense to your blog so having adsense won't be a problem with blogger.com

You have to apply to adsense and your website or blog has to be approved by them first.

After you get approved then you can go through the steps to choose the size and color of your ads. You get the codes for the ads, copy and paste them to your site and when a visitor to your site clicks on the ads then you will get paid.
How much you get paid depends on the content of your site and which keywords the adsense spiders get when they crawl your site. There are ads that pays as little as $1 (some even less) and I have seen (and had on my site/blogs) rates of $1000! It's really hard to pinpoint just what will bring your site higher-paying keywords.

But the thing of it is is that most people advise that your site or blog serve a specific niche or theme or subject matter.

In order to get a payment from adsense you have to have earned at least $100. Since this is August 1st, I checked my earnings for the month and I made it! Which means that I at least earned the minimum of $100 in July 2007. The actual payment shouldn't be expected until around the 25th of the month (which just happens to be the weekend during August 2007 - so it may be later or it may be earlier). You can either get paid by regular check or by bank transfer.

So if you're really talking about earning enough adsense money to support your family you are going to have to first determine how much minimum per month you could support your family with.

Simply put the best way to make more money with adsense is to either increase the traffic that is coming to your site (so potentially more visitors will click on the ads) or you incorporate the higher-paying keywords into your site so that you will earn more per click.

While I have seen some say that they have made as much as $1000 per month, I'm thinking an average of maybe $500 a month is more acceptable. Mind you I say average!

Question - How Much Will I Have To Pay To Join Adsense?

How Much Will I Have To Pay To Join The Adsense Program?

In a word you don't have to pay anything to join adsense. If you did then they must have let me slide when I joined.

The only real thing that you need to join Google's adsense program is a website or blog. Of course that website or blog has to be approved by adsense first. They don't accept sites of an adult nature, gambling or otherwise illegal sites.

But when your site is approved then you will be able to go through the process of picking your adsense ads to put on your site.

Question - What Kinds Of Sites Are Accepted By Adsense?

You can click the link above to go to Adsense's very own help site. There you can read Adsense's official policy towards the kinds of sites that they will and will not accept for their adsense program.

I do know that adsense doesn't accept gambling, illegal and adult sites. Although some people have said that they have seen adsense ads on adult sites I wouldn't risk it! And neither should you!

Ask Your Questions

As you can see I have provided an option of you being able to ask me a question. Your question can be about Adsense, blogging, or general questions about optimizing your blog/website for the search engines - getting your site to have a higher search engine ranking.

There are 2 sets of questions. Paid and free. You can ask a free question either by sending me an email or posting a comment to this blog. Your question will be answered in 7 - 14 days.

Paid Questions - Paid questions cost $10 each and you can make your payment via Paypal. Once you make your payment, you will be provided with the option of sending me a message with your question on it. Please don't forget to leave a link to your blog/site's url. If you post a paid question via commenting on my my blog, your comment along with the url to your site (don't forget to include it) will be added to my blog. Paid questions will be answered in 48 - 72 hours.

There are some things though that have to be made clear!

• I will not review your blog for $10. Blog reviews cost $100 per blog and you will get a full review of your blog emailed to you. You can find out more about the other services I provide by going to my adsense page
  
  
• Do not ask me for specific help as regards to increasing your site's traffic or increasing your site's rankings in the search engines! That requires much more work than I am willing to do for just $10

So far I have had some good results with the questions and you can view them right here on this blog. Who knows? Maybe your question will already have been answered here on this blog!

How Much Does It Cost To Join Adsense?

How Much Does It Cost To Join Adsense?

The answer to that is it doesn't cost anything to join the adsense program.

But before you can join the adsense program you will have to apply.

Once you apply your website or blog has to be reviewed by Adsnese and then it has to be approved. But once adsense has given their approval then you can start to go through the process of adding the adsense ads to your site.

Just What Is Adsense?

The more I see the name "Adsense" I realize that it could be interpreted as "ad sense" meaning putting "sensible" ads on one's site.

It's very simple (and sometimes not so) really. You put ads on your site be it a website or a blog. First you have to apply and join adsense but that part is free. You have to submit the url of your site and adsense has to review and approve it. Once your site is approved then you can go through the process of picking the size and color of the ads that you want to appear on your site. You can't pick the specific/exact ads that appear on your site but you can filter some of them. The ads that appear on your site will depend upon the content of your site.

For instance I'm having a problem with the adsense ads not showing up on my blog but they are still appearing on my website

Everytime a visitor to your site clicks on the ads you get paid. Of course there are some ads where you get paid when the ad appears on your site and the visitor to your site sees the ad(s) but you can't pick when that option appears.

Now you don't actually get paid until your earnings reach $100 during the month. If your earnings don't reach $100 during the month then your earnings will be rolled over into the next month until your total reaches $100. Once you reach that $100 you can either get paid via regular check or by bank transfer.

I have to say this as a caveat though because it is happening to me right now.

You have to be careful and not violate Adsense's terms of service and you have to be careful about invalid clicks. I don't know what the issue is with there being no adsense ads on my blog right now but I have contacted Adsense via email and I'm supposed to get an answer within 24 - 48 hours.
