One Adsense account, multiple sites

We'd like to remind you that once you've been approved for AdSense, you can place the code from your account on any page that complies with our program policies. Simply generate new code and paste it onto your site -- we don't need to update your account, so there's no need to contact us about your new site (although we appreciate the thought!). Even if your sites relate to completely different topics, our system will display appropriate ads for each site. This is because your ad targeting is based on the content of your pages, rather than set within your account. In addition, please keep in mind that publishers may only maintain one account per payee name, so there's no need for you to submit a new application.

If you run multiple websites, you may wish to view separate reports for each domain. Simply create a URL channel for each one. You won't need to modify your code in any way, and your URL channels will begin tracking data almost immediately. If you need to send these reports to other people who manage your site with you, you can set up emailable reports.

But what if you've sold the website you applied to AdSense, and now you run another one? We don't need to update your account information in any way. Just remove your ad code from the old site, paste new code onto your current site, and our system will automatically take care of the rest.

Finally, we'd like to note that we do constantly review sites displaying Google ads to make sure that they're complying with the AdSense program policies. If we find that a site isn't compliant with our policies, we'll contact the publisher whose ad code appears on the site to address the situation. If you're concerned about others placing your ad code on non-policy compliant pages, we recommend using our Allowed Sites feature.

Relating AdSense to AdWords

We think it's important for all publishers, both new and veteran, to understand the role they play in our ad network ecosystem. While AdSense is designed for publishers to monetize their websites with Google ads, it's also designed to extend the reach for our AdWords advertisers, providing them with ad real estate whose value is close to that on Google Search results.

If your website performs well for advertisers, there may be increased competition among them to fill your ad spaces. This means we'd have a wider variety of possible ads to display, so the ads you see on your site may be more relevant to your site content and your users' interests. This may lead to more clicks from your users, more placement-targeted campaigns geared towards your site, and increased advertiser bids. Overall, you're likely to earn more revenue with your site if advertisers are generating conversions and receiving quality leads from your site.

On the other hand, if your website performs poorly for advertisers, they may be less inclined to display on your site. This means that the ads our system displays on your site may not be as relevant to your site content and your users' interests, leading to fewer clicks and decreased advertiser bids. As a result, you're likely to earn less revenue with your site if advertisers are performing poorly.

To maximize the value for advertisers displaying on your site, we recommend focusing on developing a high-quality site with original content that's valuable to your users. For more information, please consult our program policies and Webmaster Quality Guidelines for reference.

Is it right to search on your own site?

If you've added an AdSense for search box to your page, you're probably aware of the relevant search results it provides your users. That being said, a few publishers have asked us if it’s a violation of our program policies to perform searches in their own AdSense for search boxes. The short answer is no, this activity is not explicitly prohibited by our program policies.

However, we strongly advise against using your own AdSense for search box for a couple of reasons. First, it can increase the chance of accidental or invalid clicks on the ads that appear on the search results pages. Second, this will inflate the number of queries in your reports, giving you an inaccurate picture of the activity on your site.

If you’d like to use Google search, we recommend visiting Google.com or installing the Google Toolbar. And if you're using Google Chrome, don't forget that you can type search queries directly into your address bar.

Google Testing New Email Subscription Ad Format

Google is experimenting with its Google Adwords offerings, attempting to go beyond regular text ads with Google Email Subscription Ads, allowing companies to buy ads that automatically fill in a “Subscribe to newsletter (or whatever, I’m assuming)” slot with a given searcher’s Google email address during a search.

Emailblog pointed out earlier this month that the ads were running with automaker Honda (ads which I still can’t see), and it seems like those offerings have expanded to results for email marketing services AWeber and Constant Contact (ads which I can see). Clicking on the “Privacy” button next to the subscription button lets you know that your email will be sent to the advertiser — In case that wasn’t clear(?).

When asked to explain what exactly was going on, a Google representative gave me the following statement (which is basically a more official sounding version I just said):

“We’re currently running a small experiment of a new ad format that helps users sign up more easily for email subscriptions or other free newsletters. This new ad format contains a box within the ad that displays a user’s Google email address (if logged in). If a user chooses to click ‘Subscribe to newsletter’ then the email address is sent to the advertiser directly, which is clearly disclosed within the ad itself.”

Something tells me TONS of email marketing companies will be using this once it’s actually official. My requests about whether or not (and when, if so) this will become a permanent feature have as of yet gone unanswered by Google.

Another powerful way to get backlinks is guest blogging.

In addition to building back-links to your site/page, it is an effective way to drive massive traffic to your website. So, if you are not using guest blogging as a link builder and instant traffic machine, I highly recommend that you start using it.

It is also advisable that you guest post in high traffic and preferably   authority sites in your niche.

Now, the obvious question that comes to your mind is hot to get these high traffic sites who accept guest blogging.

It is very simple …

Just use any of the following search queries in Google…

“Keyword Phrase” + “become a contributor” OR “contribute to this site”

“Keyword Phrase” + “guest article”

“Keyword Phrase” + “guest blog”

“Keyword Phrase” + “guest blogger”

“Keyword Phrase” + “Guest bloggers”  Let me show you with an example …

“Keyword Phrase” + “add a site”/”submit site”/”suggest site”

“Keyword Phrase”+ inurl:”directory”

Let me illustrate with an example …

Let’s say that you have a site about “Skin care”, then to find potential sites for link building, enter the following search query into Google search box

“Skin care” + “add URL”/”submit URL”/”suggest URL”

Hit search and you are going get a list of sites to submit your link. Browse each potential site to find out on how to submit your link.

4. Blog Commenting

The other powerful way to drive instant traffic and links to your website is by commenting on other blogs.

Commenting is mainly aimed for 3 main purposes:

• Drive instant traffic to your blog
• Build a link
• To establish a relationship with other blog owners.

The aggregate effect of commenting on other Blogs is paramount. Therefore, you need to find high traffic, preferably authority Blogs

which are related to your niche and  leave valuable and relevant comment.

As I have pointed out again and again, make sure to focus on blogs related to your niche and preferably high authority blogs.

The beauty of Blog commenting is …it is very simple.

Let me show the search query used to find blogs that allow commenting

“Keyword Phrase” + “add comment”  “Keyword Phrase” + “post comment”

“Keyword Phrase” + “leave comment”

Let me show you with an example …

to do is to enter the following search query into Google search box

“Weight loss” + “add comment”

Once you hit search, you are going to get a list of blogs that allow blog commenting.

5. Niche Forums 

Forums are great way to build back-links to your website. So, in this section, I

will show you simple ways to find forums that can help you build links to your

site.

But, I want to make very clear that …

You need to build links from forums in your niche. Don’t also forget about the

quality of the links we have discussed before.  Here are the search queries that

you need to use:

“Keyword Phrase” forum

“Keyword Phrase” discussion boards

“Keyword Phrase” “sign up OR register OR join”

the following search query.

And, if you want to get .org back-links, you can follow almost the same

procedures used to find .edu back-links.

website content into another format.

Some of the ways are:
