Step 1

Step 2

The second step to maximizing your profits is to only work on those sites that you picked out. It might be hard to only pick a few sites but it will help you in the long run. I mean sure you can join a lot of sites and a do few offers here and there on each site but it will take you a long to time cash out. You might even get in trouble for fraud for doing the same offer twice. Lots of sites use different names for each offer. So it can be hard to know if you have done the offer or not. It is easier when you are only working with a few sites.

Step 3

The third step is to promote only the sites you are working on. I have read online where they say to promote all the sites you join. If you join a site and do not do offers you will not know if they pay or not. You do not want potential members to join a site that will not pay or does not credit offers. If you have a website or a blog you do not potential members see a ton of banners with all these different sites? It might overwhelm them and they may not want to join any sites because you have too many. You only want to promote the sites that you are currently working with and sites that you have been paid from. You want your potential referral to know that you trust this site.

Step 4

The fourth step to maximizing your profits is to keep a look out for when your GPT or PTC sites are having contest. Most GPT sites now have multiple contests during the month. You can easily win free prizes for completing the most offers, getting the most referrals, and so on. Make sure you check the contests and complete those offers so you can win some prizes.

Step 5

The fifth step is to make sure you know how much payout is. GPT payouts are usually higher than PTC ones because you can easily earn more money on a GPT site. I would say if you join a PTC site make sure the payout is not high and it will not take you forever to reach payout. If payout is over $11, I would not waste my time working on that site because it would take forever to reach payout. For me, I hate waiting forever to reach a payout on a click site because you do not make much on PTC. I can usually deal with the $10 payout but if it is $20 no thanks. It is not worth my computer getting a virus or spyware for only $20.

Step 6

When you have decided which site you will be using and promoting make sure you become a premium member for that site, this will increase your per click amount and also speed up your payout time. Don’t become a premium member until you have accumulated at least 10 referrers. An keep clicking, don’t neglect sites for to long or your account will become dormant and you will lose all your money and referrers.

More Tips
Join at least 10 to 20 programs that are proven, trusted and that pays on time. Do multi tasking; use Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet explorer. It is much safer. Open 5-10 Different websites at a time and while you click on ads of one site immediately click on ads of 2nd site and then 3rd, 4th, 5th.

Have patience clicking ads and don't give up even if you're clicking on your own, once you manage to reach your payout don't spend it, invest first in buying or renting referrals from your own favorite PTC site. This may guarantee that you will earn reasonable profits in the near future. Once you are earning a steady supply of cash, that's the right time to spend it for your own pleasure.

You might be ready to earn even more.

Once you have been a member for a while and see for yourself that the site does pay, you might consider upgrading your membership or buying referrals. Upgrading your membership: Most PTC sites offer a premium membership. This premium membership has many benefits: an increase in the amount that each click pays, an increase in the amount that you earn from your referral's clicks, and even an increase in the number of clicks available to you. Upgrading can more than double your earnings, and often it is very inexpensive. 

For example, my favorite PTC, DailyClicks, will upgrade a member for $12! Well worth the money. Buying Referrals: Most sites will offer sets of unreferred members that can be added to your downline for a price. This price varies, but usually it is well worth it. You should keep in mind that the site will not guarantee that the members will remain active. They will be active at the time that you buy them, but most sites will not replace members who become inactive. This action can increase your earnings by hundreds, because your referrals will earn for you. 

It is important to be sure that the site is legitimate before you make a purchase with your own money, because few sites offer refunds or replacements for inactive referrals If you want to purchase referrals or a Premium Membership, but you are not sure that you should trust the site, most sites allow you to purchase those things with your earnings. Until you are sure, you will just have to get referrals the old fashioned way traffic exchanges!

Protect your PC
Of course you already know that you must protect your computer from viruses, spyware etc. So you must have good antivirus/antispyware/firewall software. Also I suggest you use Mozilla Firefox with AdBlock Plus and NoScript add-ons. Don't forget to clear all cookies (and if you want all personal data) when you logout from a PTC site. The new versions of chrome and IE 8 Come with built in ‘cloaked surfing, Firefox will not be far behind.

Do not use the same password in every PTC site you join
Some scammers create new PTC sites because they want to "steal" your personal sensitive information. If you do not want to see your accounts hacked do not use the same password in every PTC site.

Sometimes a PTC site may get hacked, and the hacker will then try the same user name and password on various other accounts, emails, gateways, PTC sites.

A good suggestion is to use 2-4 different usernames too. Finally if you join the forum of a site, it is recommended that you use a different email account (and of course a unique password). Forums are being hacked usually easier in comparison with the main site.

Invest only, if you can afford to lose all your money.
This is a basic rule applying not only in PTC, but in every type of investment. When investing, you are taking a risk: you may get your money back plus some earnings, you may lose it all.

Don't invest in new sites. The word "new" does not mean only sites which are only a few weeks old, but also and sites in which you are new member. It is recommended that you avoid investing in new sites and that you be member for a short period (and get paid too) in a site before you invest.

Do not cheat
You will be banned, Don’t do it!

Never use your own money
You never know if the site you have invested your time and money in will turn out to be a scam, so if you’re going to invest, use money you have made from the site or other PTC sites. If you must invest money then don’t put more that $30 -$40 as keep it low so you can get it back fast

Google, being the undisputable leader in search engines from then until now, is placing a high importance on the quality and relevancy of its search engines.

Most especially now that the company is public property. In order to keep the shareholders and users of its engines happy, the quality of the returned results are given extreme importance.

For this same reason, doing the wrong things in the Adsense and other forms of advertisements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in a severe penalty, may get you banned and even have your account Banned. Nothing like a good action taken to keep wrongdoers from doing the same things over again.

So for those who are thinking of getting a career in Adsense, do not just think of the strategies you will be using to generate more earnings. Consider some things first before you actually get involved.

Hidden texts. Filling your advertisement page with texts to small to read, has the same color as the background and using css for the sole purpose of loading them with rich keywords content and copy will earn you a penalty award that is given to those who are hiding links.

Page cloaking. There is a common practice of using browser or bot sniffers to serve the bots of a different page other than the page your visitors will see. Loading a page with a bot that a human user will never see is a definite no-no. This is tricking them to click on something that you want but they may not want to go to.

Multiple submissions. Submitting multiple copies of your domain and pages is another thing to stay away from. For example, trying to submit a URL of an Adsense as two separate URL’s is the same as inviting trouble and even termination. Likewise, this is a reason to avoid auto submitters for those who are receiving submissions. Better check first if your domain is submitted already an a certain search engine before you try to submit to it again. If you see it there, then move on. No point contemplating whether to try and submit there again.

Link farms. Be wary of who and what are you linking your Adsense to. The search engines know that you cannot control your links in. But you can certainly control what you link to. Link farming has always been a rotten apple in the eyes of search engines, especially Google. That is reason enough to try and avoid them. Having a link higher than 100 on a single page will classify you as a link farm so try and not to make them higher than that. Page rank for sale. If you have been online for quite some time, you will notice that there are some sites selling their PR links or trading them with other sites. If you are doing this, expect aban anytime in the future. It is okay to sell ads or gain the link. But doing it on direct advertisement of your page rank is a way to get on search engines bad side.

Doorways. This is similar to cloaking pages. The common practice of a page loaded with choice keyword ads aimed at redirecting visitors to another “user-friendly” page is a big issue among search engines. There are many seo firms offering this kind of services. Now that you know what they actually are, try to avoid them at all costs.

Multiple domains having the same content. In case you are not aware of it, search engines look at domains IP’s, registry dates and many others. Having multiple domains having the same exact content is not something you can hide from them. The same goes with content multiplied many times on separate pages, sub domains and forwarding multiple domains to the same content.

Many of the above techniques apply to most search engines and is not entirely for Google only. By having a mindset that you are building your Adsense together with your pages for the human users and not for bots, you can be assured of the great things for your ads and sites. Not to mention avoiding the wrath of the search engines and getting your Adsense and site account Banned altogether.

There is no argument that Google Adsense is the easiest and best monetization model that any blogger or web site owner can make money. There are so many blogers make good steady monthly income from their blogs.

One of the huge problems of my friends who have web sites and blogs is Google AdSense earnings not as high as they hoped. Clicks and profits taking a nosedive. Here are top 5 reasons your ads might not be making you the money they should and what to do about it.

1 Don’t Have Enough Visitors
Most of the new publishers, simply not having enough traffic to their site are guaranteed to keep their earnings hovering around the disappointing level. Even for publishers who are high AdSense earners, the actual click through rates (CTR) on ads is low. It’s hard to quote an average click through rate because it varies so much from site to site and niche to niche but for most web publishers it’ll be around 1.5-3%. That means you need large numbers of visitors to earn meaningful amount of money.

Suppose the average click on your site gets you $0.30. That means you need five clicks to make one dollar. If your average click through rate is 4% you stand to make $1.20 for every 100 visitors or $12 per 1000. If your site is based around a topic where the ads pay more and there are many topics where the payout is higher than you can make more money with fewer visitors. But a good flow of traffic is a vital part of earning revenue whether through advertising, affiliate marketing, or selling your own product.

2 Accidentally Attracting Low-Paying Ads
All users are not clicked equally. Imagine two companies; one sells greenhouse seeds, the other patio covers. Seeds sell for very little. Therefor seed advertiser will never pay much for an ad click because he makes very little back on a sale. On the other hand, the patio cover advertiser makes much more profit from one sale so they spend more for ad clicks. Here are the actual figures for those keywords taken from the AdWords Keyword Tool:

Greenhouse seeds $0.51
patio covers $3.16

Mostly AdSense displays ads based on the content around the ad unit. So if you have gardening blog and you have been writing posts about greenhouse seeds, your blog automatically attract low-paying ads. As well as If you are writing post about highly expensive items automatically ads in your blog also attract high paying ads and it will boost your adsense earning, because that advertisers pay much more dollars per one click. You can apply the same method to any market. Use the AdWords tool or take a look on Amazon to see which are the more expensive products or services that relate to the topic of your website.

3 Low Paying Niches
An extension of the problem above is when the entire niche is full of low-paying ads. Games are a good example for that. There are more users that are like to play online games, but the thing is payout per one click is extremely low. So it will clear the road to low income.

If you are in a situation like this it is better to choose adsense an alternative for adsense or start making money with a completely different system like affiliate marketing like Amazon or ebay

4 Ad Units Have a Low Click Through Rate
It is not enough attracting high paying ads to your blog or web site, It is essential to make them click.

Normally when pasting adsense ads lower parts of the page visitors should scroll page to see ads. So as a general rule, ads perform better when they are above the fold in the upper part of the page. Ad placement is usually the single biggest factor of success with AdSense. The ads need to be in a position where your users can see them but not be so in the way they’re annoying and driving people to the browser back button.

Best Ad Sizes
AdSense offers a large selection of ad sizes. But you should select what ad format is suitable for your site. What will work best depends on your site design & layout..

336×280 – Large Rectangle - Actual size
300×250 – Medium Rectangle - Actual size
728×90 – Leaderboard - Actual size
160×600 – Wide Skyscraper - Actual size

According to the most successful adsense publishers, Large Rectangle works the best for most sites. It’s quite a large ad block so it’s not always easy to make it fit into a site design without it being overpowering but if you can it usually works well. 

Google provides a range of formatting options for its RSS ads. Some of them are fairly difficult and will need testing to get right. On the new interface, you can find AdSense for Feeds directly under the AdSense for Content link. The name of the unit is chosen for you, although you can change it later if you really want, but so is the size of the ads.

Google matches the size and the format of the ad to the format of the RSS feed. That’s a real problem. You can end up with ads that look like half-banners and you can end up with square ads that look completely different but you have no control over either. Google doles out the ads and if you happen to know that one type of ad will do better than another, tough luck. Or rather, tough tweaking, because there are a few things you can do to influence the size and formats of the ads you receive.

While you can’t choose the format of the ad, you can choose whether it appears as an image or as text. Most publishers, I think, will do better with text ads than image ads. RSS subscribers tend to be looking for the information in the content, not for pretty pictures. They want simplicity and they’re more likely to react to the links in a text ad than the picture in an image ad.

Choose to receive only image ads, and you’ll not only be drawing on a smaller inventory and therefore receiving less well-targeted ads you’ll also be restricting your ads to the image formats. Choose either to receive only text ads or a combination of text and image ads and you’ll increase the chances of receiving ads in a horizontal format that might suit your content best.

The only way to know which is best for certain though is to test and tweak. You can create channels for your AdSense for Feeds ads, so set up one channel for text-only ads and monitor the results for a week. Then switch to image and text ads, create a second channel and compare the results. The remaining choices are much simpler. Google lets you restrict the appearance of the ads by frequency and by length. You can show the ads as infrequently as one post in four, and only in posts that are longer than 500 words, if you want. The benefit here is that showing too many ads too frequently may lead to ad blindness but I think the risk is relatively small. The default position should be to show ads on all of your posts.

There may be exceptions to this rule though. When you set up your RSS feed, you can choose whether to show only a headline and a small amount of text, forcing subscribers to come to the site to read more, or to put all of the article into the feed, allowing subscribers to enjoy all your content in the reader. Before the arrival of AdSense for Feeds it made sense only to show a part of the content, and force subscribers to visit the site to read on. There was no point in giving away content for free. Now that you can place an ad on an entire article though, it is possible to give away everything through a feed and still make money.

But I wouldn’t recommend it. Those falling eCPMs suggest that you still want your subscribers to come to your site and click ads rather than use the cheaper ads in the RSS feeds. AdSense for Feeds then should be seen as a way of supplementing your regular AdSense income, not replacing it. If you have more than one feed, you could experiment by showing ads only on longer posts or on occasional posts, generating most of your income on the site and preserving a high clickthrough rate on the feeds. When the ads do appear, they might just look unusual enough to generate clicks out of curiosity.

My feeling though is that you may as well offer as many ads as possible by putting ads at the bottom of article introductions in feeds. That should increase your chance of winning clicks. You can’t choose the format, but you can choose the position of the ad unit: you can put the ads at the top or you can put the ads at the bottom. That’s not much of a choice. What you really want to do is embed the ads in the middle of the article and force readers to look around them. But you can’t do that, so of the two options available, the best one is usually to put the ads at the top.

That’s surprising. The bottom of the post feels more natural and it’s the option taken by many publishers. You can even end a post with a list of links and blend the ad neatly into the post. That’s easier to do at the bottom of an article than at the top.

But not everyone reaches the bottom of the post and the advantage of appearing above the fold outweighs any benefits that blending might bring at the bottom. When blogging expert John Chow moved his AdSense for Feeds to the top of the post, he found his clickthrough rate doubled. It really was as simple as that. Finally, you can let AdSense choose your color scheme for you or you can do it yourself.

Do it yourself. Lose the border, of course, and match the color scheme to the colors used on your feed. You won’t be able to see how it all turns out just by refreshing the page but you should still check to make sure that it all turns out exactly as you want.

AdSense for Feeds is a relatively new product and it’s one with an uncertain future. The use of RSS readers is falling and that drop in popularity is being reflected in the falling value that advertisers are placing on ads that appear in feeds.

But they haven’t faded away yet, and they’re unlikely to fade away completely. Social media might be a good way to receive content recommendations from friends and even to receive automated link updates from favorite blogs but they’re not as organized as RSS readers. While their use may decline, it is still worthwhile for an AdSense publisher to push out headlines and small amounts of text to subscribers as a way of bringing them back to the site. And despite the falling eCPMs, it’s also worth including an AdSense unit in those feeds.
