What is Adsense? Opposite of Adwords

While I’m promoting template for blogger with adsense optimization, I wondering if you guys know what is adsense is all about? Adsense basically the opposite of Adwords which is also from Google. Maybe if i explain it from Adwords perspective you guys it understand it much better.

Through Adwords, website owner for any kind of business and services can promote their website within few minutes. Unlike free crawl by search engine which will take months to index their website pages, through Adwords, Google will placed their URL in result page of search engine or in other website that the keyword is related to their product like the one that you can see below this article.

They have to pay Google based on Pay Per Click, after they set-up an account in Google Adwords, once they start their website promotion, Google will start displaying their URL or advertisement. Anyone that click at their URL either in search engine result page or in others people website, Google will charge them certain amount. And from that amount, certain proportion will be given to the website owner that displays their advertisement. That commission is what we call Google Adsense.

You can identify Adsense Ads easily, of you notice words “Ads by Google” next to group of website link, that is Adsense. Anyone click on it, the website owner will gain his or her commission.

But if you are the website or blog owner, be careful not to click by yourself as it will violate Google Adsense term and condition, they will freeze your account or probably will ban you for rejoining.

Even if others people can sabotage you if they keep repeating to click on Adsense ads in your website, but don’t worry so much as now there is a java script that can be installed in a website background that can prevent this fraud click.

Let the world know your blog exist!

Do you wonder after we set-up our blog and even with few posting our blog did not appears in search engine? This is because the search engine did not know that our blog exist. So after we are ready to make our blog known to public, we should submit our blog address/url to the search engines.

For beginners, i suggest to submit to this two main search engine, Google and Yahoo, you can add ur blog address to other search engine however i feel it is not necessary. I've tried do search in AOL, their search result based on Google search engine, I've tried excite.com, their search result based on Yahoo search engine. So looks like these not so popular search engines rely on google and yahoo, for me why bother to submit to them if i submit to these two is enough. So i highly recommend you guys to submit your blog URL to these two main search engine.

http://www.google.com/addurl/
http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html

Once you submitted your blog URL, it will take few days for these search engine to know your blog existence. This free submission will not guarantee high rankings in the result unless you type in specific keyword of your blog.

Let say if your blog is name "mytravelblog", if you search for "travel blog" either in Google or Yahoo, your blog will not appear in the first few pages. Maybe at last page of the search result probably.

However if you type "mytravelblog", chances that it will appears in the search engine, but who will type that specific blog address unless the owner itself?

So my suggestion is, rich your blog with contents and posts then submit ur blog URL, then the chances for it to appears in search result will be much higher, on the example that i gave, if other net users type "travel", you will be easily be seen by them.

Good luck...
