Remember us: Shut Up and Serve Ads

Russell Beattie points out that Google's terms of service requires that you not publicly discuss AdSense. Jason Kottke points out this "seems to fly in the face of Sergey Brin's Google rule #1: 'Don't be evil'." Cory Doctorow agrees saying "Google shouldn't ask all its users to submit to an unreasonable restriction on their speech in order to contain the spread of negative information about its service."

Meanwhile, other annoying provisions are that you can't: have multiple accounts (which is useful when you want to keep separate statistics for separate sites), talk to advertisers about their ads, disclose any results, get paid for anything Google considers "fradulent clicks", find out why they're considered "fraudulent clicks", pass on payments to anyone. And Google can cancel you whenever without a reason.

Erik Thauvin and Derek Powazek, both well-respected web writers, got their accounts and payments canceled for "fraudulent clicks", even though they didn't try to cheat. They ran ads for Google and now Google refuses to show them any evidence of wrongdoing or pay them for their space. Some suggest that Google simply cancels accounts when they payouts get too high to avoid paying.

*Update:* We previously reported that the don't-talk-about-AdSense provision was recently added. Several sources, including a Google employee, have said this is a mistake. We've corrected the story above and apologize for the error.

Thousands of pages indexed in Google will not make you earn more money

Some webmasters think that if they generate pages and pages with php or asp programming as your server, you pages indexed in Google, they will earn more money with Adsense.

This is false, we have tested a new site, this has just over 8000 pages indexed in google, is determined as follows, placing in the search:

site: domain.com

with this Google gives results like this:

Results 1 - 10 of about 8.540 of domain.com (0.13 seconds)

In the Adsense account we see that the prints are more than 1000, but the profits do not exceed $ 10. monthly ......

So fill your website pages do not necessarily resditúa more money with Adsense.

While it is true that more pages indexed in Google provided and have more possibilidades of people in and click on your ads .. It is also true that the same information can be found on other pages which are already used to.

And to do? It is logical ...... deliver quality content, content that others have not mastered the subject ... if chewing gum (just an example) he speaks of it, gives tips, talk about the best chewing gum brands and flavors.

Internet is also the largest source of entertainment out there and people look for related topics and interests, and incredibly differentiated content delivery with fewer than 500 pages indexed in Google can do about $ 150 a month .... Working !

What is Online Advertising or Internet?

In principle, interactive advertising provides the following capabilities:

• Provide an advertising message to a passive
• Segment the target by more complex variables than traditional (surfing habits, routines of consultation, and specific interests.)
• Make brand exposure with fixed position on a site or e-mail
• Induce a mediate or immediate response by the recipient
• Maintain two-way communication with consumers
• Induce and facilitate the purchase through e-commerce

It also has a wide range of uses:

• Perform a mass communication, sending a flood of messages without being segmented
• A selective communication, sending messages for specific content of interest to the client sought
• a communication also allows one to one marketing through a database email
• It also makes it possible to perform creative promotions through interactions over the Internet.

Within these internet communication practices can be used to:

• Attract customers (branding)
• Acquire Customers
• Build brand loyalty

Truths about Blogs

It is undeniable that Bloggers have occupied an empty space in the media, blogs are used by people like us to express ourselves in any topic and its misuse is responsible for bad practices such as defamation or business advertising scams. Here are some truths, even if it hurts some and others will fill us with pride to be a "Blogger".

TRUTH: The bloggers or bloggers is one person who subscribes to a free or pay to have a blog, which is just a website with the ability of its owner can upload their articles (post) in the same way that you would when sending an email.

LIE: It is false that require high skills and time to open a blog. Simply having email to subscribe.

TRUTH: Blogs are a good distribution system, thanks to RSS, XMLRPC, directories and blogs with many links good software and make your backlink indexed in Google is very good, so to make our queries in search engines we will see many blogs on the results pages.

LIE: Big Hits, every blog has a set of statistics, but these reports do not mean exactly that visits the public read the articles of blogs, many times people find the blog in your searches on Google (or other) and enters page looking for information, seeing that's not what you want, leave the page.

TRUTH: In countries where freedom of expression is not allowed bloggers are considered almost as heroes for their noble task of providing what is happening in their country. Bloggers have information not normally released in the traditional media, so they are an alternative source of information.

LIE: All blogs are good: many blogs are advertising, some companies other bad people who are engaged in offering home business scam with high earnings, other blogs are used to defame those who do not like me.

LIE: Everyone read them, but does publish a blog that anyone can read it, how hard is that to read all the millions of users worldwide, a blog needs positioning strategies, something like a marketing campaign , having a blog does not guarantee that you will read throughout the country.

Truth: Making money, if it is true that you can make money with a blog, but for this to achieve the log has to be well known, read and found on search engines.

Be careful when shopping online

Many of us have seen great deals online, a LCD TV for half price, MP3, computers and a myriad of products, there are new and used.

However, care must be taken in two types of ads:

If Seller is foreing:

If so, the seller must give your address, street, number, district, and above all fixed telephone, with the latter figure walked into the White Pages telephone and verify that the phone corresponds to the address provided, do not rely on giving a cell phone and who knows where they are.

Proposal for Payment per Thousand (PPT)

Little webmasters and big publishers online need a pay by the use of your data.

The Searchers use free the data of the web sites, but will be a better practice to pay to the publishers in the world.

The Proposal:

- Payment per Thousand (PPT) or
- Cost per Thousand (CPT).

How works?

The bot search's visit a web site, record the data y pay by each 1000 pages that save.

PPT = $0,10   or  CPT=$0.10

(This pay may be yearly.)

Then:

- One pay aditional by impression to month  ($0.01)
- One pay aditional by click to month   ($0.05)

Pay algorithm:   impressions + clicks


Examples:

A web site with 1M of pages.

1º Year pay : $100
2º Month pay: impressions + clicks

Why?

The searchs (bots) visits the web sites and use wideband and hardware resources.

Should Google pay to work?

Around this time Google has done good business with internet searches, but the meaning of searches?

Google has servers that trace all web sites in the world, this work he creates a work extra servers of web sites scanned, that means that it is spent more resources hardware, software and bandwidth (traffic) that Google access to our information.

Scanning web sites in the world makes google to store information generated by the editors by what Google to the store and order this information is making use of data while it is free on their servers, google uses it for a commercial purpose.

When there is a commercial purpose in any industry, companies must pay a fee and of course this payment must be to websites in the world.

Then since google uses third party content to create search results and benefits from advertising, it should pay to each web site by indexing their content and use it in the results.

All web sites searched, stored on their servers and found should earn income for their work from Google. While it would not be a great figure for the very young could become extra income for consolidated website. In this way the problem of Google with the major newspapers of the world would solve imediatamente.

Other search engines

All the major search engines using this search technology, storage and generate advertising like big, yahoo etc should pay this fee to web sites.

Else and different would be web directories, where the same representatives of web pages are who record their data in exchange for exposure.

Advertising is not beyond payment

Google and many companies affiliate web take advantage of affiliate web sites to use cookies with which learn the surfer as his way to navigate, find information, and this can ideally segmented advertising. Bad practice is that neither Google, nor other companies pay the owners of the web sites in the world by the data obtained from their pages.
