5 Ways to Increase Your Profits with Mailing Lists

Do you have a mailing list? When was the last time you had a look at how profitable the list is for you and made sure everything was up to date?

You’re likely one of the many people who’ve set up their list, got busy, and then forgot about it for a while. There are many things you can do right now to start making more money with your mailing list.

1. List Checkup – Go through every single message you have in your autoresponder series. This may take you a while to get through if you have a lot of messages set up, but it’s worth it.

When I switched my website format over to a WordPress site I deleted a lot of the pages from my other design. I had my autoresponder setup to refer to articles on my older site and with the update these were out of date and needed fixing, so I had to go back in and change the links. If your series of messages are too long and it’s just too much to handle by yourself hire a VA to help.

2. Opt-in Location – Do people know about your list? Don’t assume everyone will find you because you have an opt-in box in one or two locations on your website.

When setting up your list and describing it you’ll want to make sure that you deliver exactly what you offer then and beyond. A bullet-point list works well to let people know what your list offers without requiring too much of their attention to get them to read.

Many people make their list stand out by offering  a free ebook or report for signing up. Other ideas are to offer an audio or a video. Whatever you offer make sure it is of high valuable and something that makes signing up for your list irresistible.

3. Add Landing Pages – You should be using double opt-ins to make sure your list has really requested to sign up. After the initial sign-up you will be able to direct them to a landing page. Make sure the landing page they come to grabs their attention and tells them to confirm, you could use something like this:

“IMPORTANT: Please check your email inbox and confirm your subscription so that we can send you the information you requested.”

Use that landing page to make an offer on your own product or offer an affiliate product. Or if you have a service based-business and want them to get to know you better, direct them to your articles page.

Once they confirm, in the email you will be given another opportunity to create a specific landing page. Use that page to make another offer, or lead them to your website to read more information or articles.

You’ve got people’s attention once they get to your landing page and they HAVE to go somewhere once they’re done – it might as well be somewhere you can suggest, so that you benefit from it.

4. Promote – Think of the places where you promote your list. Is it just in one little box on your website? There are many other places you should be using to promote your mailing list.

-Write articles that you submit to directories that have a bio leading to your opt-in page.
-Make a special offer in your signature on forums (if they allow it)
-Add a signature to your emails that tells people why they need to sign up for your list
-Blog about your list and why they should join it

5. Contact as Often as Possible – You’ve heard this before but it’s time for a reminder. If your prospects don’t hear from you on a regular basis then they will forget about you and why they signed up in the first place.

How often you contact them will depend on what your list is about but it’s often said that you must be making contact at least once a month if you want to be remembered. Many topics will require you to contact your list once a week and this is perfectly acceptable to them because they asked for this information.

Are you ready to get your mailing list up and running so it can help generate more profits? Then join me as I walk you step-by-step through the process of building your list, creating a freebie, and getting more sign-ups.

Top 5 Off-Site Optimization Strategies for the Newbie

Good Search Engine Optimization (SEO) involves both on-site and off-site strategies. These strategies involve several procedures geared towards building backlinks which is critical to you ranking highly in the search engines. However for this article I will be looking at off-site optimization strategies. As the name suggests, off-site optimization is employing procedures off your website itself that relates to how the site is linked to external pages. A link that points back to your site is known as a backlink.

Some procedures of off-site optimization include the following:

Post your site on web directories 

Submission of sites to web directories is an old off-site SEO strategy geared at obtaining more backlinks. Submissions have to be done manually and based on my own experience it’s a tedious and time consuming job so, if you can outsource this function I suggest you do so. With all the recent updates by Google to their algorithms this optimization strategy has lost some of its importance. But it’s still considered a good method of improving your page rank. You should bear in mind though that you need to post only to high ranking and reputable directories. Be careful of less popular and possibly blacklisted sites, they can actually hurt your business.

Video Marketing

Creating videos about your business and or products and then posting them on video sites is a great way to help with your off-site optimization strategies. You should then embed the code on your own site. Video sites like Youtube are seen as an authority site and will provide you with high quality backlinks. Another advantage from this optimization strategy is getting even more traffic if your video becomes popular.

Social Media: Facebook

Did you know that the Social Media can be a form of Off-site SEO? Bet you didn’t. Links from Facebook won’t carry much weight where Google is concerned but with proper use of Facebook you can attract tons of visitors to your websites. You can do this by creating Facebook Fanpages, Groups, and Events.

Don’t waste your time on reciprocal linking

Reciprocal linking is basically you linking to someone’s site and then having them link back to yours. It’s actually an old SEO strategy of trading backlinks which is seen to be ineffective these days as it’s rather time consuming and doesn’t produce the desired results. So it’s not recommended as it can actually do more harm than good to your off-site optimization strategies. What you want to do instead is concentrate your energies on getting links from relevant sources where you can chase the links.

Perfecting your techniques

You need to stay on top of your SEO game to get the most from your off-site optimization strategies. How do you do this? By always, always, questioning yourself and your methods. You should test different methods and try new things. If there’s something you can’t figure out take the time to do some research and learn all you can about the area. That’s one of the purposes of the internet, to teach you.

Off-site optimization strategies are extremely important and shouldn’t be underestimated. It takes constant vigilance to be successful at your optimization strategies and the results you desire won’t come overnight. But if done right, you will get that high page ranking and the traffic will come, making a huge difference to your pocket.

Four Common Reasons Why SEO Strategies Fail

The practice of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is feared by some internet marketers as it is seen to be an intricate process and usually yields very little results. SEO companies will also intimidate you with this type of thinking because they want your business. This may or may not be your experience as an internet marketer. However one thing is true, as much as Search Engine Optimization strategies work, there are as many failures. If you intend to be successful at your SEO strategies you need to know why they fail.

Here are some reasons for SEO strategy failure:

Keyword stuffing

If you’ve been on the internet for any length of time and working on your SEO strategies, you would have come across the statement that content is king. But it’s not just that content is king, quality content is king. So if you’re overusing keywords in poor quality content that’s a surefire way to get your site banned by the search engines, not to mention it’s a good way to turn off your customers. They are looking for useful information not junk and if you can provide that then, you have half the SEO battle won. Currently according to SEO rules, your keyword density shouldn’t exceed 3-4% of your total content. Some people prefer to play it safe and not go past 3%.

SEO can’t revive a dying business

You shouldn’t waste your time on SEO strategies if your business is dying. If it can’t pay its debts, is unable to perform its day to day functions and is facing bankruptcy or other issues, then all SEO efforts employed at this stage will be futile. Your efforts will be better spent concentrated on other things, maybe doing market research to start a new business.

Reputation management issues

Word of mouth is still a powerful advertising tool today as it was way back then. It’s no different on the internet either maybe it’s even more so.  With all the social sites and forums around, customers have instant access to voice their discontent. Personally I don’t buy a product without doing extensive research on the seller. If customers are dissatisfied with your company others are going to hear about it. Complaints and negative reviews can hurt your business. If your business has more links for negative reviews and reports than for its SEO links, the search engines will pay more attention to those links. Then even with best SEO strategy, your business could still decrease in rankings and possibly come off the page in the search engines.

 Failure to include SEO strategies in website changes

Let’s say you embarked on an SEO campaign, to build links for example. During the process you make changes to the site to accommodate the campaign, but you failed to use the SEO strategies in the new changes. Bad move! Your site could have a significant decrease in page ranking which could lead to a reduction in website traffic. So what’s the lesson from this point? Always remember to include search engine optimization strategies when updating your websites.

It’s not always easy to pinpoint why SEO strategies fail. Every marketer wants their SEO efforts to be successful. One of the ways to ensure success is to avoid making the same mistakes of others by learning from theirs. So if you’re going to know what works it’s imperative that you have an understanding of why SEO fails.

Are You Struggling To Come Up With Content For Your Blog?

Most people are excited when they start a brand new blog on self hosted Wordpress, at Blogger or any other blogging website. They usually have a general idea of what they want their blog to be about and they are just buzzing with ideas. They want to share a little of this and a little of that while making their opinion known about the main topic of the blog.

There are so many different things to blog about:

If your passion is mental health, you might choose to blog about Bipolar Disorder, depression and anxiety.

If parenting is your forte, you might blog about various aspects of parenting like rewards and punishments, dealing with temperamental teenagers, how to be an effective single parent and tips for dealing with preschoolers.

If you’re blogging about weight loss, you might want to highlight the pitfalls of straying from a healthy diet plan and how to get back on track with one’s fitness plan by working out at home with work out DVD’s and fitness gear. You might share how to make recipes that are not only delicious and quick  but also healthy too.

If your blog caters to those who want to save money and spend less you might write posts that show your readers how to save money on their next trip to the grocery store, how to use coupons when making online purchases, how to sell thins they no longer need or want to generate some extra cash and ways to save money on bills in the winter.

As your blog starts to gain a little momentum you may find that your readers want more. Posting biweekly or once a week may no longer satisfy those who love your blog. The people want more and so you try to give it to them, posting two to three times a week or even daily.

You set up a blogging schedule to deal with the hectic demand for content. For some, blogging daily will be easy cake, a walk in the park and for others, they might feel a sense of dread or frustration as they try to come up with yet another post after barely choking out the last one. They were fine when they didn’t need to write as much content but now the task is becoming overwhelming for them. They may even begin to suffer with writers block.

Fortunately their is an easier way. PLR to the rescue. PLR,which stands for private label content, is any type of content that you can edit and use as you see fit as long as you don’t add it to article directories or sell it as PLR yourself. There’s a lot that you can do with PLR.

You can copy and paste it as in when you’re in a bind and need content quick or you can reword the content, changing the order of the sentences or paragraphs as well as swapping out words for appropriate synonyms.

You could even take it a step further and use your PLR for research ideas. You could then branch out from some of the main points covered within the articles and easily create unique content of your own.

Is Building A List Really Necessary For Newbies?

Unfortunately many new to internet marketing, underestimate the power of a responsive list and so they do everything else under the sun besides building a list.

They get involved on various social media websites like Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Ning social networks. They advertise their products, blog, present various ideas and tidbits about themselves but at the end of the day, that contact is gone and they may never reach those people again.

On Facebook, a person could simply unsubscribe to your feed so they never have to see your status updates again and you’d never know or they might have tons of friends and your wind up lost in the sauce of their feed. It happens and then your left wondering why you aren’t getting the responses that you desire.

On Pinterest, one who may be so into your pins one day, might not be the next or they might not even be following you. They might have saw your pin through someone they followed and even clicked through to your site, but when they got there, there wasn’t anything to attract their attention enough to keep them coming back on their own.

We follow many people on Twitter and it’s all to easy to miss someones post, simply because you weren’t on around the same time and you’re seeing countless other posts in your feed.

But what if there were a way to actually capture those people who breeze by your page so you can pull them back there again. This is what a list does for you. It gives you a way to stay in contact with people, no matter what time of day or no matter which website they’re on at the moment because you contact them directly in their email inbox.

You can use your list to provide value, show you care, answer questions, promote your products, announce your newest blog posts and more.

There are various list building companies like Aweber and some offer free list building, like MailChimp so if you don’t have a list, I suggest that you start building one.

Place the optin box in a prominent area of your website so it can easily be seen. I suggest the upper right corner, before the fold.

Use PLR content as a cool giveaway, like a report or a series of articles to entice people to sign up. Treat your list like gold and people will stick around. Remember that behind every email address lies a real, living, breathing person.

How Interactive Elements Can Generate Traffic

Internet marketing is getting more and more competitive and you have to find ways to stand out from the crowd if you want to generate more traffic. These days visitors are not satisfied with just coming to your site and reading your texts. They also want to be able to interact with you and others. So if you want to drive more traffic to your site and ensure they keep returning as well, here’s what you should do. You need to give them something that will involve them directly with your site. You can do this by adding interactive elements to your website.

Interactive elements are those strategies you use to get your visitors to interact with you and or among themselves that will generate enough interest to keep them coming back to your site again and again.

Here are some examples of interactive elements and how they can benefit you in getting repeat visitors:

Allow submissions

You can allow your website users to submit tips, articles or jokes. This is like having guest bloggers and is a great way to get fresh content for your site. Simply create a form on your home page with a link to a page where users can submit their own content. You will then include these submissions on your site once they have been approved. Now, you have two choices here. You could allow the submissions to be used any place else other than on your site. This means you use them for free and retain no rights to them. Or you could consider paying a small fee and keeping all the rights. Get some advice from a lawyer for this option though.

Add social sites

Do you know anybody these days who’s not on Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus? Me neither. Basically people like to interact with each other and you should take advantage of this. By adding these social sites to your website you have access to an extremely large group of traffic and potential buyers. Treat them right and you can get them to talk about you and your offerings. On the internet, positive word of mouth publicity is really important.

Polls and surveys

Have you ever noticed that controversial topics seem to get a lot of attention? How many times did you read something for that very reason? You want to generate interest with your interactive elements which will increase traffic. So place controversial polls and surveys on your site. You have to find a balance though as they should be in good taste. If you don’t want to make them controversial you should at least make them thought-provoking. Provide results instantly that show how other users have voted. Some web hosts offer this feature in even their most basic packages, just in case you don’t know what to do. And all you need to do is fill in the questions.

Just so you’ll do it instead of only thinking about it, having an interactive site gives you more credibility. When you create relationships with your users it builds their confidence and you in turn build more traffic. Because, more potential exist for them to buy from you and stay with you.

Tips on How to Use the Power of YouTube to Build Traffic

If you’ve been on the internet for any length of time or even if you’re a complete newbie you should know the importance of traffic to your business. You may also know that it’s not the wisest thing to “buy” traffic, because once the money runs out, so will the traffic. So how do you get traffic that is so integral to your business? Traffic that’s continuous and best of all free? YouTube can help you with this.

YouTube offers many opportunities for promotion and getting traffic to your site as it has the power to increase your rankings considerably. Just take a look at any Google page and you’ll notice that most times the videos are usually ranked at the top of the page.  Here’s why. One, YouTube is owned by Google and they work together. Two, YouTube is the second largest search engine next only to Google. That should be enough motivation to make you want go and create your own YouTube channel and upload videos to it.

But don’t go rushing off to create just yet. Let’s make sure you’re doing this the right way first so you don’t waste your time. Take note of these tips:

Make your profile interesting

YouTube is just like any other social site. So you want to create an interesting profile for networking purposes. People will want to know more about you if they like your videos. This can help build trust among your audience, thus giving you greater traffic. Try to make your profile interesting enough to get across to everyone. Professionally it shouldn’t be too boring or too stuffy. But informally it shouldn’t be too hyped either.

Promote your videos

You won’t get much traffic without viewers. You can’t just post your videos and expect that viewers will automatically find them no matter how good you think they are. You have to promote them. You can put them on your blog or on any of your other social sites.

Use your keyword in the title of your videos

People find your videos when they do searches via the search engines and on Youtube so you should make it as easy as possible for them to find you. I mean you do want to get traffic right? Okay, you should include your major keyword or keyword phrase in the title and in the description. Don’t just put it there though, it should feel natural and make sense.  And don’t forget to put them in the tags either.

 Know when to post your videos

On the internet timing is everything, you need to know when to do what. So with YouTube it’s no different, it has its peak and off-peak times for traffic. Thursday mornings or early afternoons US time is considered the best day and time to post a video of general interest. Wednesdays is said to be another good day. You need to pay attention to the loading times of your videos as well. Start early for those with internet connectivity issues and for large videos if you want them uploaded in the prime time slots.

There’s approximately an hour of video being uploaded to YouTube every second.  This makes it a valuable resource to drive traffic to your site and promote it. However despite the obvious competition, if you consistently produce quality videos with time you’ll reap the benefits of your effort which is to build traffic.

SEO Strategy – Article Marketing as a Link Building Tool

Link building is critical to your online success and article marketing is said to be one of the best ways to build links. Why do you need to build links? Basically its quality backlinks that to a large extent help determine your rank in the search engines. Most SEO strategies you undertake is for receiving links to your site so you can get to the coveted number one spot.

Article marketing involves using articles to expose your site. The more people know of, and about you, the better your chances for getting links. This will eventually lead to more traffic, to pull you up in the search engine rankings. Submitting articles to the various article directories is one of the best ways to achieve this. What you do is, submit original quality articles to the top ranking directories. You can easily do a Google search to find them. Ezine Articles is ranked among them.

When your article has been approved and published, you’ll get a link from the particular directory leading back to your site. But wait, it gets even better. You can generate even more links from other website owners if they find your article interesting enough to publish it on their own site. This is dependent on them leaving your original resource box intact of course.

Let’s be quite honest here, article marketing can be challenging for some people. If you don’t enjoy writing that’s one thing, you can always outsource this task. But if you don’t like writing and you’ve just started your online business on a budget then you’ll find this task more challenging. A possible solution is, to find friends or family members who don’t mind writing and are willing to help you out for free.

With article marketing, patience and consistency will have to become your two best friends. You won’t get to the top of the search engines in only a few weeks of starting an article marketing campaign. Well you could, if you were an SEO guru but, are you? So, you need to be consistent with your submissions, even if it’s just once each week.

Article marketing is a slow process of link building but it’s one way of building natural links to your site that the search engines love. They will reward you handsomely for your efforts by pulling you up the ranks in time, if you remain patient, consistent and keep writing quality articles.

Keyword Placement- How to Use it Correctly

Your SEO efforts may prove futile without the strategy of correct keyword placement. Basically you need to have a good grip on this practice to be successful in your climb up the search engine ladder. After all it’s only through your keyword or keyword phrase that potential customers find your products and services. So you want to make sure you’re placing them in a way that they are most effective.

Arguably keyword placement can be confusing. But once you know the basics, you don’t have to be an SEO expert to figure it out.

Consider keyword density

In practicing keyword placement, one of the first things you want to consider is keyword density. That is, how much keyword you use in a particular piece of content.  So how do you decide? Well that’s dependent on who you’re writing for, whether you’re writing for your audience or for the search engines. Arguably if you’re building a relationship with your audience, don’t worry about it, just write. But if you’re just offering information you need to pay special attention to the amount used.

Content should sound natural

Correct keyword placement should allow the content to sound natural. It should flow logically and make sense. You should respect your audience and the search engine bots enough not to give them gibberish to read. Your audience should be able to read your content and the search engine spiders should find pleasure in crawling it.

How much is too much?

But if you choose to write for just for the search engines bear in mind that the accepted keyword density is between 1-3% of the content. Meaning if you have a 400 word article, your keyword should be used at least 4 times but no more than 12 times. More than that and you can be accused of keyword stuffing.

When is keyword placement most effective?

Keyword placement is most effective in the title of the content, in the first paragraph, throughout the body, and in the ending paragraph. Try to avoid placing keywords more than once in each paragraph. Keyword stuffing your content can send you back down the rungs of the search engine ladder as fast as you climbed up.

That’s it basically. Hopefully these suggestions will help somewhat in clearing up your confusion about correct keyword placement and you’ll realize that it’s nothing to be scared of. Like I said before, you don’t have to be an SEO expert to figure it out. Do enjoy your climb to position one in the search engines.

Adsense Make money from your website

 

For millions of people web sites are the major source of income. Thanks to the various ways to monetize a site, it is possible to make a living as a web master. However, this doesn’t mean that every web master is a millionaire. Well, if you know how to monetize your web site, you might not get rich but at least chances are that under the worst possible scenario, you will be able to cover your hosting fees and the other expenses you make for your site.  Currently the most profitable ways to monetize your site are CPM ads, CPC ads, CPA ads, direct sales of ad space, and selling merchandise/goods/services. These ways are described in this article.

CPM Ads Can Bring In Cents

CPM ads (an abbreviation for Cost Per Thousand) is the oldest type of site monetization. You put banners on your site and advertisers pay you based on the number of unique impressions/page views your site has.
 CPM ads are the easiest form of site monetization because they require almost no effort on your side, but they are also the least feasible because as a rule (unless you have really high traffic and your audience is well-targeted), the rates are low. Some CPM ad networks pay as low as $.05 per 1,000 uniques, which means that you need millions of visitors in order to make $100-200 a month. Popups and layer ads pay a bit more ($.5-2 per 1,000 uniques/pageviews). They could bring you a few dollars a month but many visitors find them especially irritating and this is why many web masters are not willing to put popups and/or layer ads on their sites. There are high-paying CPM ads – for instance ads paying $2-5 per 1,000 uniques but usually the networks that run them have very high traffic and quality requirements for the sites that are eligible. As a result, it is very hard to get into these networks and take advantage of these well-paid CPM ads. There are many CPM networks we can recommend. For sites with lots of traffic the choice better and some of the good options are Advertising.com, TribalFusion, CasaleMedia, and ValueClick because there CPM rates are good. AdBrite, AdToll, Right Media, and BurstMedia are also good. Some of these networks are CPM-only, while others have other types of ads as well. Google also has CPM ads, so you may want to try them.

CPC Ads Are a Profitable Way to Monetize a Site

CPC ads (an abbreviation from Cost Per Click) are different from CPM because with CPC you get paid not when visitors view ads but when they click on them. The good news is that CPC rates are much, much better and as a result, it is possible to make a decent income even with a small site with not so high traffic. The key with CPC success is to have a well-targeted site in a niche where there are a lot of advertisers. The most popular CPC network is Google Adsense and even though there are other CPC networks, the income you can make from Adsense is much higher. The reason is that Google Adsense has many advertisers and if your site is in a profitable niche, CPC can be the best way to monetize your site. Additionally, unlike some of the other CPC ad networks, Google Adsense is open to publishers from all over the world. Usually CPC ads are text ads and you publish them in blocks. However, there are also intext ads, where the keyword is underlined and when the visitor puts the mouse on it, a tooltip with CPC ads appears. Intext ads are less obtrusive but it takes much more effort for the user to notice them (and above all – to click them), which means that your chances to make money are further decreased. Kontera is one of the most popular networks for intext CPC ads.
  The list of good CPC ad networks is not as long as the list of CPM or CPA ad networks but still there is a choice. For instance, Google Adsense, Yahoo! Publisher Network (YPN), BidVertiser, Chitika, and Clicksor are generally considered top choices but since many CPM ad networks pay decent rates for clicks on their CPM ads, you might want to try them as well.

CPA Ads Could Make You Rich

Currently CPA (an abbreviation from Cost Per Action) is the most profitable way to monetize a site in a profitable niche. CPA, also known as “affiliate programs”, pays you a commission when your visitors perform an action. Most often this action is a purchase, but it could also be something else – i.e. download a free trial, or signup for the service of the advertiser. Affiliate programs can make you rich because there are many products with really fat commissions. For niches such as health, finance, travel, etc. affiliate programs are a real golden mine. However, affiliate programs require a lot of efforts on your side and still there is no guarantee that the offers you pick to promote will convert well and will make you money. Sometimes even the highest converting offers won’t convert on your site and the only thing you can do is replace them with other offers, hoping that they will convert better. There might be hundreds of CPM ad networks but for CPA they are thousands. It is practically impossible to try all of them personally and this is why we would like to recommend some of the best to start with. Amazon, eBay, ShareASale, Commission Junction, Clickbank, Max Bounty, Azoogle, Never Blue Ads, LinkShare, or PepperJam are just a few of the greatest CPA networks we can recommend.

Direct Sales of Ads

If you are not happy with the CPM rates of ad networks, or CPC and CPA don’t convert well with your site, you could try to find direct advertisers. However, have in mind that such an endeavor is not necessarily bound to succeed and if your site doesn’t have audience advertisers can’t reach elsewhere, you will hardly be able to negotiate good prices. Still, for some sites direct sales of ad space are a viable alternative and this is why you could also try it. Openads Ad Server and OIO Publisher Ad Platform are two of the sites where you could try your luck. AdBrite also allowa you to price your ad space. In fact, almost any major network gives you the chance to put a widget on your site to invite advertisers directly to advertise on your site.

Sell Merchandise/Goods/Services

Buy or sell stocks or shares in a business as a boxing match in the symbolic financial ring of investing with two gloves fighting for trading direction in the stock market isolated on a white background. In addition to CPA ads, where you are selling other merchants’ products, you can try selling your own merchandise or products/services with your brand. This technique works well mainly for popular sites with loyal audience and is hardly the easiest way to monetize a site. You could try to sell merchandise/goods/services as a supplementary service and if you see that this monetization technique works, you can expand the business. CafePress is one of the best places where you can sell merchandise with your logo and the greatest thing is that they print on demand, which means you don’t have to keep your merchandise in stock. The monetization techniques we described here can be combined. You can run CPM ads together with CPA or CPC. You can also combine multiple ads from the same type (i.e. CPM, CPC, or CPA) from different ad networks, provided that this doesn’t violate the terms of these networks. There isn’t a universal prescription about the best way to monetize a site. The basic rule is that you need to try and see what works for you. The fact that a given monetization technique works for somebody else doesn’t mean that it will work for you, so you need to try and see for yourself.

About AdSense
Almost we all are familiar with the most popular search engine – Google, and its services. Google AdSense is also a one of the most important and famous service by Google. Google company serve the advertisements and displays the ads of companies to promote the product or service of that company, and under an agreement it charges a fixed amount from the owner of the brand/legal representative of advertising relations/ or advertiser of the product/service, and then pays a fixed amount to the host/owner of the website/blog/ or page on the internet for serving those ads on his/her site/page, after deducting its profit and costs. As being an advertising company too, Google provides this service worldwide, and helps the companies to promote their products as well as helps the users to get in touch with the companies for buying/selling of the product and services or involving in their activities of business.

Why my AdSense disapproved?

This question is the most common and frequent amongst the users of AdSense account holder who's account get disapproved by Google team after a successful approval of account.
Here are some of the reasons by which your AdSense account may disapprove;

1.     Accidental click on ads displayed Google on our own page of site/blog can be most common reasons for disapproval of it. Some time when we visit our own page to read or adjust any content, and by mistake we click on any ads, this will considered as an accidental click by user itself and may tend to disapproval of our account. Because Google has a very advance technology and systems, and they track the click very easily.
2.     Invalid clicks: There are some software in the market which is being used by some fraudsters and people having criminal background, especially in cyber world, or some hackers. They use this software and set some site for virtual visit and click, this tends to a disapproval of our account.
3.     Click exchange is also a reason which may cause disapproval of our account. This trend is most popular in western countries, and have some impact in India too, many of the users exchange their click with their friends/colleagues or known ones in order to increase their revenue. But this may cause to a problem to the user, because Google is not a small company, it has vast system network which is very advance, and has a very sharp detection on the account holder's activities from the same IP address on which users generally operated their accounts.
4.     Non genuine activities: Sometime Google also disapprove our account for some non genuine activities like suddenly recording excessive clicks on the ads of a particular account holder in a normal day on the basis of their past average records.
5.     Excessive promotion of site/blog to some non relevant sites or blogs, like adult sites and other sites on which illegal activities are done are also a big reason for disapproval of one's account. Users generally promote their sites/blogs excessively in order to maximize their revenue in a very short span of time, but unfortunately they lose their account. Being patience is the one and only criteria to avoid this issue.
