How to Use Google Adwords Keyword Tool

1. Navigate to the Google AdWords keyword tool website. Limited use of the keyword tool is free and no registration is required. However, access to the important cost-per-click information is available only to those individuals with a free Google AdWords account. Type a keyword or phrase in the indicated box or enter your website or blog URL into the 'Website' box. Type in the security code and click on the 'Search' button.
2. A list of keywords appears. Go to the 'Columns' tab and select 'Approximate CPC.' This adds a column to the keywords showing how much money you can make using that keyword. Key words with large dollar figures are desirable.

3. Then look at the 'Local Monthly Searches' and 'Global Monthly Searches' to see how many people searched for that word. Choose high pay-per-click terms that also display a large monthly search volume and use them in your article, website, or blog to you get more views and income.

How to Make a Website for Google AdSense

1. Create a website plan. With a word processor, or simply pen and paper, write down the main information pages or topics that your website will cover. To help optimize your website for ad revenue, you can research keywords using Google's keyword research tool. The keyword research tool will tell you what topics are valuable based on number of searches and cost per click information. Focus on keywords with comparatively high search volume and cost per click in order to help maximize your ad revenue.
2. Produce content for your website. Explore producing images, audio, video and text articles. Using your website plan and the keywords you came up with, produce content centered around the most valuable keywords you identified. Select content types that will be best suited for conveying your information. For example, an information-dense technical topic may be suited to text articles, while a visual topic may be better presented using images or videos.

3. Make your website. There are two approaches to making a website: content management systems, such as WordPress, and hand-coding. Hand-coding offer greater flexibility, but is a technically involved approach. Content management systems are not as flexible as hand-coding, but typically offer an easy-to-use interface for making website pages. In the hand-coded approach, you'll need to enter HTML code for your website pages in a text editor, such as Notepad. With a content management system, you can simply type (or upload) content without having to enter HTML directly.
4. Place AdSense ads on your website pages. Access your AdSense account and build new ad units using the ad unit creation tool within the AdSense interface. With a hand-coded site, you'll need to copy the ad unit code from the AdSense interface and paste the code into your page files. To place ads on pages in a content management system, you may need to first install an AdSense plugin (or add on module) using the content management system control panel. Then, use the plugin to place AdSense ad units into your website pages or posts.
5. Publish your website. With the hand-coded approach, use an FTP utility to transfer your website files to your web hosting service. With a content management system, you can publish pages by simply pressing the 'Publish' button or equivalent on the page control panel.

3. Click on the 'Settings' tab for the selected campaign to show all the available options for the campaign.
4. Click the 'Edit' link next to 'Networks' in the 'Networks and Devices' area. Click on the check box next to 'Display Network' to clear the box and deselect the display network option.
5. Click on the 'Save' button to store the new setting. A yellow box will appear at the top of the screen to confirm the setting has been saved. There may be a short delay before the ads stop appearing on the display network.

4. Scroll down the page until you see the 'Footer' heading followed by a large text box.
5. Enter in your custom footer in the text box by 'Footer' and click on the save button when you are done. This replaces your footer with the new customized footer.

How to Trace an Originating IP

1. Locate the header information in the email you wish to trace. This will look like a confusing mass of undecipherable text, easily distinguishable from the easy-to-read body of the email, but will end with something like 'Content-transfer-encoding ...' You will probably have to enable viewing this information, but the procedure for this differs between programs and services.For example, in Gmail, you click the arrow by 'reply' and select 'show original.' In Yahoo, you click 'actions' and then 'few full headers.' In Outlook, you click 'internet headers' in the 'message options' window.
2. Copy the headers by selecting the text and pressing CTRL C. If you select too much, that is alright; most look-up tools will ignore anything extra. In fact, you could press CTRL A to select everything and then CTRL C to copy it all, and it will still work in most trace tools.

3. Visit a trace tool site such as Find-IP-Address, What Is My IP Address or IP Address Location.
4. Paste the copied header information into the rectangular box on the tool page. You may also need to enter the 'captcha' security text to verify you are a real person. Press enter or submit. The tool will display the textual and/or visual location of the originator's IP.

How to Create a Pay for Click Website

Building Custom Software
1. Create a database table with link records. Add database records to track how many times a link has been clicked on your website. Track any other relevant information, such as time and date of clicks and information about visitor.
2. Design a software module to track clicks. As a visitor clicks on a link on your website, the software module will record each click in the database and then redirect the visitor to the appropriate page on the advertiser's website.

3. Make website pages connected to the software module. In order for the software module to operate, it must be invoked by code on a website page. The code on your website pages specifies the software module name and also passes a value (or parameter) to the software module indicating which link has been clicked.
4. Test the website pages and software module. Once you've built the software module and website pages, access them via a web server, either on your local machine or on your website hosting account. If you are going to access the pages and software module on your website server, then you'll need to upload the page files and software files to your website server using an FTP utility.
Off-the-Shelf Software Approach
5. Select a pay per click software package. Choose a package that meets your needs. For example, select a package that will be compatible with the language your site is written and also compatible the database and type of hosting account that you are using.
6. Install the pay per click software package. This may be as simple as uploading files to your website hosting account, or may involve a more intricate process of actually installing software on your website server.
7. Configure the pay per click software. Select the settings you need for your website. Add your advertiser link records.
Publishing and Promoting
8. Publish the website. If your website is a hand-coded (written in HTML by hand) site, you'll need to transfer your page files to your website hosting account using FTP. If you are using a content management system, then simply publish your pages according to the instructions provided by your CMS publisher.
9. Track website clicks and charge your advertisers. Keep records of your clicks and provide reports to your advertisers.
10. Attract new visitors and advertisers. Use search engine optimization or other techniques such as pay per click to attract new visitors. Also, be sure that your website includes an invitation to new advertisers.

How to Insert a PowerPoint Into a Google Page

1. Prepare the PowerPoint presentation. Try to keep it simple for the conversion process, especially if you don't own conversion tools. Limit the amount of animations, transitions and audio.
2. Convert the PowerPoint presentation to Flash. You can do it manually if you have programming experience. Or you can use a free converter if your presentation is simple. If the presentation is more complex and you are going to be making a lot of conversions, you may want to consider purchasing a converter such as PPT2Flash.

3. Set up your Google Page for the PowerPoint. Set up a Google Page or log into your existing Google Page account. If you have a Gmail account you already have access to a Google Page, but you may not have set it up yet.
4. Click on the 'Upload' link on the right side of the screen. Click 'Browse' to find the converted PowerPoint file. Click on the file's name and choose 'Open.' Click on the new link that appears in the 'Upload' box. Copy the URL of that link that opens to your clipboard.
5. Go to the Google Page where you plan to insert the PowerPoint. Click in the section where you intend to put the PowerPoint show. Locate the 'Edit HTML' link in the lower right corner of the screen. Click on it.
6. Insert the following HTML code into the box that opens:




7. Change 'URL of the uploaded flash file' to the URL you copied to the clipboard in Step 4. Preview the Google Page and if all is correct, publish it.

How to make money with Google Ad Sense

1.

For example: I have a website that I sell dog t-
shirts from: www.cafePress.com/fashionpug
If I want to make extra income from ads on my web-
site, I sign up for Google AdSense. Google Adsense
then gives me an HTML code that I enter on my
dog t-shirt website. Now, ads begin to appear on my
website that are related to my site's content.
The example below shows some Google AdSense
ads on my dog t-shirt website:
2. Ads Relate to Content.
As you can see, all of the ads are
related to dogs, and may be help-
ful and interesting to people who
are visiting a dog t-shirt website. If
someone is interested in dog jew-
elry, they might click the ad that
says 'Dog Gifts Collectibles.'
When they click that ad, I will earn
a profit. I earn a profit every time
an ad is clicked.

3. When They Click,
You Earn.
It's that easy to earn money with
Google AdSense, and you don't
have to worry about selling a
product or inventory, etc. Once
you set up your Ad Sense account,
Google takes care of the rest. It's
basically a 'hands off' money-making system. It is
a great way to earn extra passive income on your
website or blog.
4. How Much Profit Can I Make?
Let's say I earn an average of $.12 per click from my
ads on my dog t-shirt website. If 1,000 people visit
my website a day, and out of those 1,000 people,
10 click on a Google Ad sense ad, then I will make
$1.20 a day. So it is basically a numbers game. The
more traffic you have, the more earnings you can
receive.
5. How do I sign up for Google AdSense?
• Go to: Google Adsense
(You will need a blog or some other type of web-
site to sign up for Google AdSense.) If you don't
have a website or blog, there are many free blog
sites available. I personally use Blogger.com. There
are also services where you can make free websites
such as: Webs.com
6. Create your Ads
• After signing up on Google AdSense, log into your
account at:
https://www.google.com/adsense/login/en_US/?gsessionid=vlloC1bSfNC5zY90GcosBg
7. • Click 'AdSense Setup' on the toolbar.
• To place ads on your blog or content website,
click 'AdSense for Content'
• Click 'Ad unit' (the default) for now, and click
'Continue.'
• Choose the size of ads you would like displayed
on your page and the colors.
• Check out this video for great tips on choosing
ad sizes, colors, and ways to optimize your Google
AdSense ads:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpPX4A78jqg
8. Adjust your Ads
• Next, you can add a channel if you like to help you
group certain adds together and help track them
better.
• Name your ad with a title that is easy to recognize
and includes the name of your website, size of the
ad, location of where you will put the ad on your
webpage (ex: DogHomepage 728x90 top center).
• Click 'Submit and Get Code.'
9. Add the Code to Your Website or Blog
• Go to your website and enter the area where you
can edit the HTML on your website.
• Paste your Google AdSense code into the html at
your desired location on the website layout.
• After adding the new HTML code, your Google Ad-
Sense ads should begin appearing on your website.
The ads should be related to the content of your
website. If they are not related to your content,
you may need to edit your website's content to
add more keywords that highlight the main topic of
your website.
10. Sit back and Start Earning
• When someone visits your website and clicks
on one of your Google AdSense ads, you will earn
money in your Google Adsense account.
Warning: DO NOT click on your own Adsense
ads or put content on your website that says things
like 'Click my Adsense ads.' If you do so, Google
Adsense will suspend or cancel your account.
• You can check your Google Adsense account
whenever you like to see how much money you are
earning and to find out which ads are working best
for you. You can then adjust your ads accordingly for
the best results.

How to make extra money online

1. Ehow is a reputable and free site where you can share your knowledge with other members and make money. It is a slow process, but over time you can make a decent chunk of extra money. All you have to do is sign up for the writer's compensation program (WCP) and write 'How To' articles. These articles can be as simple as 'How to brush your teeth' to as complex as 'How to Build a Detached Garage'. I have been doing this sporadically for several months. I made about $17 in the first few months but I have less than 20 articles posted. The more articles you post and the more active you are in the Ehow community, then the more money you will make. Check out my other articles on Ehow.
2. Start your own website. You could sell products and services or just post information and make money from advertisements on your site. Sign up for Google Adsense and you can make money when visitors click on your ads. I created a free website on FreeWebs.com. There are many free web hosting services out there. You can do a Google search or even an Ehow search to find more free sites.

3. Start your own blog and use Google Adsense so you can make money when visitors click on your ads. You can write about anything you want. Check out the different blogging sites that I have listed on my personal website listed below in the Resources section. Check out Xomba in the resources section. It is a very popular blogging site so you should get a decent amount of traffic.
4. Sell items on Ebay. This is the most obvious choice, but there are so many opportunities to make money on Ebay. Find a niche that works for you or sell old stuff around the house.
5. Sign up for a seller account on Amazon.com. Sell your old college books and regular books on Amazon to make some extra money and get rid of some of the clutter in the house.
6. Sign up on DayTipper.com. This is a new site for me so I am still testing it out. I have posted one tip and it was approved. When it is published, I should receive a one-time $1 payment. This tip only took me 2 minutes to write. If you are creative, you could really make some quick cash.
7. Sign up on Epinions.com. You get paid to write your opinion about different things. I have signed up for this site and submitted one review. Reviews must be at least 200 words to qualify for income share. I will continue to test this site out and provide more information at a later time.
8. If you are artistic then sign up for CafePress.com. You can upload your artwork and set up a store. You can choose which items you would like to have your artwork printed on like t-shirts, hats, coffee mugs, etc. The website supplies all the products so you don't pay anything and you earn a very nice commission when your product sells. Ehow member AlmondSpecial was kind enough to share this in my comments section. Please check out her article about CafePress in the Resources section.
9. Etsy.com - This site allows you to buy or sell any handmade items. Check it out. You could sell homemade jewelry, clothing, t-shirts and more. I have not used this site, but it is reputable and has a broad range of opportunities.
10. Lulu.com - this site allows you to upload your digital creations. It can include photos, artwork, or even a manuscript. I have not tried this site, but it is reputable as well.
11. Sign up for Hubpages. You can write articles and receive money for Google Adsense, and also for signing up to be an affiliate for Amazon and eBay. You can really make some money here. See the links below for some great articles that were written on HubPages about earning extra money.
12. Find a legitimate work-at-home job to supplement your income. This can be anything from data entry to freelance computer programming. I have compiled an 8 page list of resources and information regarding this topic. Since it is too much to fit into this article, I have supplied the link 'Work-at-Home Jobs' under resources.

How to Improve Google AdSense

1. Make sure keyword tags relate to the content within the website. Someone will be less likely to click on an ad for a blender if he is visiting a site with information on how to quit smoking. They probably would click on ads related to quitting smoking, though.
2. Do not clutter your website with ads. Place ads away from content information on the website page. Users might get irritated or impatient and leave the site before further exploring other content on the website.

3. Provide more quality content for your site. Content-rich sites may keep viewers on the site for a longer time. This could increase the probability that someone will click on an ad. If your viewers don't find the information they need from your site, they might look elsewhere.
4. Increase traffic to your website. Visit online communities and let other users and friends know about your website. Visit forums about topics related to your website. IF you created a website on how to quit smoking, visiting forums on the subject and letting individuals know about your site could also increase traffic to your website.
5. Search for higher cost-per-click keywords. Use Google's adword keyword tool to find keywords that may be worth more than other keywords for your site. Higher cost-per-click keywords could increase your earnings.
6. Search for popular keywords to add into your sites. Popular keywords will generate more traffic because many individuals commonly use those keywords or phrases in search bars. For example, you could get more views from a keyword that generates 1,000,000 views a month than from a keyword less commonly used that generates only 1,000 views per month.
7. Submit your site to various search engines to index the site among the list of websites that appear in the search results. Viewers can then find your site among the search engine's list whenever they type keywords relating to your site into the search bar.

How to Install Google Adsense Into Your Blog

1. Create an AdSense account by visiting http://www.google.com/adsense. The directions provided on the website are extremely easy to follow, and creating an account takes only a few minutes. You will be required to fill out an application to install Google AdSense into your blog, and will be asked to verify your payment method and account information before proceeding.
2. Determine the best placement on your blog for the ads. Ideally, your Google AdSense ads should blend in and coordinate with the style and color of your blog’s text and graphics. Google offers great tips and advice that should be considered for optimum results.

3. Choose the type of ads you wish to display on your blog. Google offers a variety of ad types, including AdSense for content, AdSense for search, graphic ads, text ads, or a combination. The type of ads you choose will depend on the look and content of your blog, your target audience, and your overall preference. You can modify, delete and add new Google AdSense ads at any time.
4. Customize the ads for your blog using Google's wizard. You are allowed three ad units and three link units on each page. Customizable features include size, color and style.
5. Create a channel for tracking your ads, and choose a name for each ad you create. One of the benefits of installing Google AdSense into your blog is the ability to track each individual ad based on placement, ad type or other criteria. This enables you to make adjustments if one ad type is not performing as well as expected.
6. Grab the code for your AdSense ad, and then insert it into the proper place on your blog. After you have completed installing Google AdSense into your blog, Google takes care of the rest.

How to Calculate CPC

1. Bring up the Web page with the ad on your site or blog for reference. Determine your total income generated from this particular ad. If you're using a PPC program, like AdSense, your should easily be able to pull up a breakdown of this data.
2. Determine the total number of times that someone clicked on this particular ad. These figures should be laid out in the PPC program.

3. Divide the total income by the total number of clicks to determine the average CPC.

How to Make Money With Revenue Sharing Websites

1. Websites that allow you to make money through a revenue sharing program are one of the best ways to earn online. These types of sites are generally based on participation, whether by you directly or by visitors to your site.
2. When paid for your direct participation, such as here at eHow, and other writing sites, the key is in the numbers. You must be an active member or writer to earn a substantial income. A few articles here and there will usually not be sufficient in creating a decent income. You must try to contribute at least one or more articles per day to see good results.

3. The same is true for online communities that offer revenue sharing. It is very important to be an active member and contribute to the community. This means posting new discussions and responding to other's discussions. The more active you are, the more you will earn.
4. In the case of earning from others participation, such as with Google AdSense, the key here is to get as many visitors to your site or blog as possible. This increases the odds of getting clicks on your AdSense ads. To improve your earnings here, you will need to focus on increasing the number of visitors to your site, which can easily be done with many free advertising and marketing options (see free advertising link below, under the resources heading).
5. As you can see, earning with revenue sharing is determined by your level of participation. Even when you rely on others, as with AdSense, you will need to continuously work on getting traffic. By focusing on just a few programs, you can maintain a high level of contribution and earn significantly more than spreading yourself thin and making only a few cents with multiple programs.

How to Activate Google Adsense

1. Design and construct the website you want to include in the Google Adsense program. Be sure your website falls within Google's published criteria for websites.
2. Sign up and submit your website to Google Adsense program. Once you website is approved, you will receive a notification allowing you to proceed with the program.

3. Activate your Google Adsense account. Clicking on the link in the email Google sent you telling you your website had been approved.
4. Log into your Adsense account, and retrieve the HTML code you will need to use on your website. After logging in, follow the prompts to get the appropriate programming code.
5. Copy the code, then paste the information into the appropriate section of your website. Once the code has been installed in your website, it will be included in the Google Adsense program and will start to see Google advertising appearing on your site.

How to work at home with Google

1. Research the different options for working with Google. Two positions are currently advertised with Google, ads rater and quality rater. WorkForce Logic advertises on the Google Jobs site for the ads rater position while LionBridge and Leapforce hire for quality rater using job boards.
2. Carefully read the application instructions and apply at one or all of the three companies currently hiring for telecommuting positions with Google. These companies are WorkForce Logic, LionBridge, and Leapforce and each has different requirements.

3. Set up a Gmail account to apply. This is a requirement for applying. Previously set-up Gmail accounts can be used.
4. Apply to one of the three companies being again careful to follow all directions specified by the specific employer.
5. Apply to a second company if no response is given from the first choice company. Apply about once a week if no response is given but stop applying if the company sends a denial letter.

How to Make the Most with Google AdSense

1. To make the most from Google AdSense you should first think about your website and the people that come to your website. Make sure you select a product that will be interesting to the people that view your website. If you site is about food stick to cooking supplies or equipment not cars. If you site is about games you could list ads about game systems or accessories. You should also think of the age and income of the people that are attracted to your website when making this decision. If it's outside of their budget you'll get very few clicks on the ads.
2. Next to make the most from Google AdSense you should think about the lay out of your website or blog. The size of the ad should not overwhelm the page. Make sure it fits in with your current website layout and style. You don't want the page to look like it was built around the advertisement. These look like spam and people will avoid sites like that.

3. After you have determined the product and the size of the advertisement you should consider the color of the advertisement to make the most of Google AdSense. Ads that blend into the website are more appealing and seem to do better for many people using Google AdSense. A lot of people will adjust the banner color on the advertisements to match the background color of the website. The background of the advertisement should blend in with the colors of the website and the link colors should be the same as any other links on your webpage. If you have a pastel colored website you should stick to pastels for the advertisement. Nothing is worse than a bright yellow advertisement on a baby blue website; it sticks out like a sour thumb and is not very pleasant for the people viewing your website or blog.
4. Now to add the advertisement to the website or blog you need to make sure it again goes with the flow of the website. Most people will look at a website like a book from left to right top to bottom. If you are talking about the product on the webpage it is best to have the advertisement close to a picture of the product. If it is just a product that goes with what you are talking about many people have found luck adding the advertisement within the body of the website, in the content area.
5. Make sure you try a few different layouts to see what works best for you and have fun with this.

How to Turn Off Infolinks

1. Access your website's HTML code. There is no single way to access HTML code; it all depends on what software you use to manage your website. User-friendly website-building software allows you to drag and drop website components, but you should notice a 'Source Code' or 'HTML' button somewhere on the screen to access the raw code.
2. Type '
' into the code, removing the quotation marks. HTML code is sequential. In other words, the website reads the code from left to right and top to bottom as it loads. If you want to disable Infolinks for the entire page, place the code at the top of the code. To turn off Infolinks for a certain section of code, place it just before that section, followed by '
' after the section is over.

3. Save your changes and exit the website editor. In most website editors, you save changes by clicking 'File' and 'Save' or by clicking 'Upload to Internet.' Once you've saved your changes, Infolinks will no longer appear on your website.

How to Advertise a Site on Game Sites

1. Find game sites that cater to the demographic your company targets. You don't want to advertise on a children's game site if you sell financial services. Find a game site where the players are your target audience.
2. Determine your advertising budget. More popular sites typically cost more than smaller ones, but you often reach many more people. A banner ad will cost more than a side bar or Google ad.

3. Find game sites that may be interested in affiliate sales on your site. Depending on your product, you may be able to create a deal where you do not pay unless a customer buys something. This reduces your outlay of cash and creates a win-win situation.
4. Contact the website or web ad agencies. If you are looking to be an affiliate or to place a banner ad, contacting the company directly is your best option. Ask to speak with someone in advertising sales. Online ad sites such as Google AdSense allow you to fill out an online questionnaire and submit ads to the search engines. You don't have as much control over your ad placement in this situation, though.

How to Use WordPress

1. Go to your hosting company's website and log into your account. Make sure you are at the control panel of your user profile once you are logged in.
2. Scroll through the control panel or profile options until you see WordPress. Depending on what type of hosting service you have it will be listed in the 'Software/Services' section of the control panel.

3. Click on the WordPress icon and choose whether you want to install a new version or import an existing installation.
4. Check you email for a message from WordPress with your user name and password. This is what you will use to access your WordPress account. You may always have the option to change the default generated password into your own code.
5. Log into your WordPress account. Click 'Appearance on the left hand toolbar and select 'Add New Themes. Choose which theme options you want and click 'Find Themes' to find a theme. Click 'Install > Install Now > Activate' to enable a theme. You may also disable themes by going to 'Appeareance > Themes > Delete.'
6. Go to 'Plug-ins > Add New Plug-ins' to search for plug-ins to add to your sites. Plug-ins may offer the latest Twitter Tools or even SEO for you website.
7. Explore the options on the 'Dashboard.' Do not be afraid to edit your site's PHP by going to 'Appearance and clicking 'Editor.' However if you choose to do this make sure you copy and paste the HTML code into a .Doc file so you can save a backup. Although WordPress is an extremely easy to use software it does not mean that it is error free.

How to Make Money by Allowing Ads on Your Website

1. Access your website's visitor log from your administrator's panel and note how many people come to your website each month. Use this information to determine which payment model will give you the most money from placing ads on your site: cost-per-thousand (visitors), cost-per-click or cost-per-action ('action' usually being a purchase from the company that owns the ad). For example, if you only get 300 visitors a month, a cost-per-thousand (CPM) payment model won't pay you anything for more than three months.
2. Open a PayPal account. Companies commonly pay for ad space using PayPal.

3. Sign up to be affiliates with companies that pay using your preferred payment model. Amazon, eBay and Google all have popular ad payment programs, but check also with your Web hosting provider and other companies whose goods appeal to your website's visitors. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of the program completely.
4. Copy the code for each ad you want to place on your site. Paste the code in a prominent place on a Web page your readers visit frequently. This may be at the top or side of the page, or it may be within the main content of the page. Make sure that the ads you choose for a page are relevant to your audience.
5. Increase traffic to the pages that contain ads. Blog guest posts are an effective way to get people to your site. Contact bloggers whose readers would be interested in your site and provide them with blog posts their readers will find helpful. Link to at least one of your Web pages in the blog post. Email signatures and forum signatures are other ways to draw people to your Web pages.
6. Monitor how much money you make from each ad on your website. Keep those that make the most money and switch out the ones that make less.

How to Disable Ads by Google

1. Find the Windows hosts file on your computer. If you are running Windows 98 or ME, the file is probably located in the C:\Windows folder. Windows NT usually stores its host file at C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc. Windows XP and Vista store the hosts file at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc. If you are running Windows 2000, you can find the hosts file at one of the last two directories listed above. Look for the file named 'Hosts.'
2. Right-click the hosts file. Click 'Open,' and then choose ''Select the program from a list.' Click 'Notepad.' The hosts file opens up as a text file in Notepad.

3. On the first empty line of the hosts file, copy and paste the following:127.0.0.1 pagead.googlesyndication.com
127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com
4. Save the file.
5. Allow the change if prompted with a warning from your antivirus or spyware programs.

How to Earn From Google Ads

1. Sign up for an account. Getting a Google AdSense account allows you to access the program and is free to start. You will need to provide some personal information and to have an active e-mail account in order to get registered.
2. Read the fine print. A frequent complaint of Google AdSense users is that they later find out that they are ineligible to be paid. To be eligible, you have to not only comply with the AdSense agreement, but your website must also fit within Google's Webmaster policies. This information is carefully spelled out in the terms of agreement.

3. Pick your keywords. Not all words pay the same. Remember, though, that the highest-paying keywords are also the most popular. Before setting up your account, do some research on which keywords will apply to your website and earn you money.
4. Do your homework. Not only do you need to look at what words pay what money, but also at what your competition is using. Is it better to be the thousandth person to use a higher-paying word or to be the third person to work with a mid-level word? Like most business decisions, this involves a bit of a gamble. But the preparation you do now will save you a lot of frustration later on.
5. Don't be afraid to play dirty. You're trying to make money, not friends. Google AdSense allows you to block certain URLs from your website. Often, it makes sense to block your competitors, as you don't want them advertising on your website and making it more difficult to draw attention to you or your product. It is just as likely that your competitors will be blocking your URL.
6. Don't be afraid to change. Don't get locked into a certain keyword or setting. The Internet is almost fluid in what is popular and what is not. Change to what is going to make money for you at the time. Just because something worked once doesn't mean it always will. Like anything in business, it's important to stay up on the times.

How to Put a Banner Ad in Your Header

1. Log into Wordpress and navigate to the 'Thesis' control panel. Click on the 'Custom File Editor' to begin placing your new code.
2. Highlight the 'custom_functions.php' file from the drop down menu and click 'Edit.' Insert the following code into your header area once the file has opened.function thesis_header_ad() {?>






3. Replace where it says 'URL address' with the web address you'd like the ad to direct visitors to. Replace where it says 'image file URL address' with the web address of the image if the ad has one available. These settings will depend on the ad type you've selected through places such as Google. Some are text with images, text only or image only. Check for the appropriate code when building your ad through programs such as Google's Adsense.
4. Click the 'Save' button once you've finished and return to the 'Custom File Editor.' Open the file called 'custom.css' to show 'Thesis' where to place the ad in your header.
5. Copy the following code and paste it at the top of your 'custom.css' file..custom #header #banner_ad {float:right;margin-top:-7.5em;width:450px;padding-left: 1em;}
6. Edit the specifics such as 'float:right;' to 'float:left;' if you'd rather have the ad showing on the left-hand side of your header. Change where it says 'margin-top:-7.5em;' to whatever increment you feel is best. Play around with the numbers until you get the ad placement the way you like. Change the 'width' if the image for your ad is larger or smaller than '450px.'
7. Click on the big 'Save' button once you've finished and check your site for any errors. Go back and make changes to the 'custom_functions.php' and 'custom.css' files should they need them.

How to Compare Google Advertising Rates

Google Keyword Tool
1. Go to the Google Keyword Tool page. The link is available in Resources. You do not need to sign into a Google AdWords account, but you may do so, if you have one. It will not make a difference.
2. Enter a keyword into the box on the left in the 'Find Keywords' section. The keyword you enter should be relevant to a specific product or service you want to promote. In other words, use one of the keywords your target customers would type into Google when they are looking for a product or service like yours.

3. Select the box next to 'Only show ideas closely related to my search terms.' Click the 'Search' button and allow Google to deliver the search results. This displays a spreadsheet of keywords related to the one you entered, along with Google search data about those keywords.
4. Click the 'Columns' drop-down menu above the search results, and make sure 'Estimated Avg. CPC' is selected. This displays the estimated average cost-per-click for each keyword listed, letting you compare the Google advertising rates for the displayed keywords.
5. Click the top of any column to sort the related keywords by competition, global monthly searches and local monthly searches, to get further insight.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 with different keywords -- and keep doing so -- until you have a general idea about the size of your market, competition and going rates for your related keywords.
Google Traffic Estimator
7. Go to the Google Traffic Estimator page. Again, you do not need to sign into a Google AdWords account, but you may do so if you have one.
8. Enter a keyword into the box on the left in the 'Get Traffic Estimates' section. Again, the keyword you enter should be generically relevant to a specific product or service you want to promote.
9. Hit 'Enter' to drop the cursor to a new line. Type another keyword related to your business. Repeat with as many keywords as you wish, then click the 'Estimate' button. This displays a comparison chart for all of the keywords you entered.
10. Click the 'Columns' drop-down menu and select every available option. Click the 'Estimated Avg. CPC' column header, to organize the keywords by cost-per-click. Click 'Estimated Daily Cost' to organize the keywords by total daily cost.
11. Organize and compare your related keywords by global or local monthly search frequency, estimated ad position on Google search pages, estimated daily click-through for ads containing those keywords, the amount of competition you face when bidding on ad placements, and local search trends.
12. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 as often as you think of new keywords. Over time, you will develop a sense of which keywords most closely relate to your business, pull in the most traffic and command the most sensible Google advertising investment.
