AdSense Rules

Google AdSense is a very popular blog monetization tool because it's easy to join the Google AdSense program, easy to integrate a variety of ads into your blog, and ads don't have to take up a lot of space.  However, there are a few rules you must follow unless you want to get banned from the AdSense program and make no money at all.  Following are five of those rules:

1. Don't Boost Clicks Artificially

There are a number of ways that Google AdSense publishers (such as bloggers) can artificially boost the number of clicks on the Google AdSense ads that appear on their sites.  Following are a few methods that might be tempting but are considered spam and are a surefire way to get banned from the Google AdSense program:

• Clicking on AdSense links on your blog yourself.
• Asking other people to click on the AdSense links on your blog.
• Using any kind of automated process to increase clicks (whether you create the process or a third party does it for you).
• Joining with a group of other people to click on AdSense ads on each other's blogs or websites.

2. Don't Display More than the Allowed Number of Ads on a Page

Make sure you read the current Google AdSense Program Policies and only display the number of ads allowed on a single web page at all times.

3. Don't Fill a Page with Ads but No Original Content

Any page on your blog that includes Google AdSense ads must include more original content than ads.  In fact, Google considers displaying a page full of ads with little or no original content a form of spam.

4. Don't Create More than One AdSense Account

It might be tempting to create completely separate Google AdSense accounts and publish ads from both accounts on the same blog in order to get around rule #3 above, but doing so is a violation of Google policies.  While you can add more than one blog or website to your Google AdSense account, you may not have more than one actual account.

5. Don't Try to Trick People into Thinking AdSense Ads are NOT Ads

Hiding text link ads within the content of your blog posts in an attempt to make people think they aren't ads is a violation of Google AdSense policies.  Bottom-line, don't try to disguise ads in an effort to increase clicks.

Blog contests are a great way to increase traffic

Blog contests are a great way to increase traffic from your blog, but be sure to write blog contest rules that protect you from people who might be very unhappy if they don't win.  Even a blog contest for the smallest prize might lead to a negative online buzz from disgruntled losers.  Follow the tips below when you write your blog contest announcement and call for entries post to ensure you are protected.

The Prize

Clearly state what the blog contest prize is in your announcement and call for entries post.  If possible, include an image of the actual prize.  Be very specific in your description of the prize so there is no confusion about what is and is not included with the prize.

The Qualified Entry Process

Precisely describe what a person needs to do to gain an entry in the blog contest.  You must hand-hold in blog contest entry instructions, so offer the most detailed explanation possible.

The Deadline

State a date and time when entries will no longer be accepted to the blog contest.  Make sure you include the time zone!

The Prize Delivery

If you have any prize delivery restrictions, such as prizes cannot be shipped to P.O. Boxes, include them in your blog contest call for entries post.  For example, if you're only willing to ship the prize to people in the Continental United States, include that restriction in your post.  Also, include how the prize will be shipped such as UPS Ground.  If the prize will be shipped by someone other than you, include that information in the post.

The Winners

Describe in great detail how winners will be selected.  This is particularly important when winners will be chosen using a subjective process rather than a random drawing.

Winner Notification

Explain how the winner will be contacted to notify them that they've won the contest.  Make it clear that they need to provide the necessary information in their contest entry so you can notify them if they win in order to obtain their shipping address for prize delivery.

The Prize Acceptance

Include prize acceptance requirements in your blog contest call for entries post.  For example, make it clear that winners will be notified via a specific method (as described above) and they must respond to your notification within a specific time frame (such as 48 hours) or they'll automatically forfeit their prize.  This is essential or you could be left waiting for a winner to respond with their shipping information for days, weeks, months, or forever.

The Alternate Winner

Describe how an alternate winner will be selected if the original winner does not respond appropriately based on the prize acceptance requirements explained above.

Make Money blog

The Value of Monetizing Your Blog Through Nonadvertising Opportunities:

Displaying ads on your blog is certainly a simple way to try to generate an income from it. However, ads are not a guaranteed money-maker. For one reason, they are often dependent on the actions of your blog's readers. For another reason, generating a significant amount of money through advertising on your blog is unlikely (possible but unlikely) unless your blog receives a very large amount of traffic each day.
By diversifying your income-generating opportunities, you'll have a greater chance of successfully monetizing your blog. Following are a variety of nonadvertising methods to earn money from your blog.

If your blog has loyal readers then they must like what you have to say. Similarly, if you've established yourself as an expert in your blog's topic, then there is a good chance people will want to read more from you outside of your blog. Leverage that position by writing an ebook and offering it for sale on your blog.

Write a Book:

If you've established yourself as an expert in your blog's topic and developed a strong following, you could write a book and either try to have it published or self-publish.

Become a Professional Blogger:

Many blogs and blog networks look for talented and knowledgeable writers to author blogs, and many of those blogging jobs are paying. Apply to blogging jobs to boost your blogging income.

Apply for Other Writing Jobs:

Blogging can help you polish your writing skills, which can help you land other freelance writing jobs online and offline. Transitioning into freelance writing from blogging is not unusual and can be very lucrative.

Become a Public Speaker:

If you've successfully established yourself as an expert in your blog's topic and generated a decent amount of traffic to your blog, you could offer your services as a public speaker at events related to your area of expertise.

Become a Consultant:

If you've established yourself as an expert in your blog's topic, you can offer consulting services to other people or business' who could use the help of your expertise. Alternatively, you could offer consulting services related to developing and writing a successful blog.

5 Tips to Choosing a Blog Topic

Pick a Subject for Long-Term Blogging Success

Building a successful blog is a commitment in time and effort. Follow these five tips to choose a topic to write about on your blog that will put you on the path to reaching your blogging goals.

1. Choose a Topic You're Passionate About

A successful blog is updated frequently (often several times a day). If your blog has a chance at success, you need to keep your content fresh, which means you need to consistenly update your blog. Make sure you choose a topic for your blog that you feel strongly about and truly enjoy. Otherwise, writing about it will feel stale very quickly. You need to be able to stay motivated about your blog's topic for a long time.

2. Choose a Topic You Like to Discuss with Other People

Successful blogs require two-way conversation between you (the blogger) and your audience (your readers). As readers leave comments on your blog or email you to discuss your posts in further detail, you need to be responsive and receptive to them. Your blog's long-term success will depend on the sense of community you can create around it.

3. Choose a Topic You Don't Mind Debating with Other People

The blogoshpere is made up of people from all walks of life with varying opinions. As your blog grows, more and more people will find it, and some of those people may not agree with everything you write. Successful bloggers enoy discussing their blogs' topics from all angles and appreciate a healthy debate.

4. Choose a Topic You're Not Overly Sensitive About

As your blog grows and more people find it, many are apt to not just disagree with you, but actually disagree so strongly with you that they may attack you personally. You need to have a thick skin to deflect personal attacks and strongly opposing opinions.

5. Choose a Topic You Enjoy Researching

The blogosphere is constantly changing and one of the most unique aspects of blogs is their ability to provide fresh, meaningful content and discussions about a wide variety of topics. In order for your blog to be successful, you need to enjoy reading about your blog's topic and keeping up with news and current events related to it thereby enabling you to keep your blog's content interesting and relevant to readers.
