AdSense and PayPal

A lot of AdSense Publishers are asking for AdSense payments using PayPal but it is currently not possible to do so. Currently, AdSense do not allow payments through PayPal. Hopefully in years to come, AdSense will add PayPal feature to AdSense Account and enable AdSense Pulishers to sent money to their PayPal Account.

Personal Opinions About AdSense Payment Through PayPal:

* I prefer payment in checks. Since I don't have a PayPal account and I don't have access to cash out money in PayPal, so I don't prefer using PayPal to get AdSense Payments.
* Security Threats. There are a lot of phishing websites of PayPal on the internet. If accidentally go to these sites, all the payments will be gone.
* I like to get the check because I want to show it to my family and friends.
* I like to hold the check.

If you like want to get your AdSense Payments using PayPal, you can suggest this new feature to Google AdSense Team at:

Ads Design

The most important thing to design an Ads is to make sure that your Ads will blendinto your blog/site template.

Try not to make your Ads look like Ads. (Get it?)

People are bored and sick of Ads. When they came across Ads, they will surely keeptheir cursor away and will never CLICK on it.

So, the advice is to make your Ads don't look like Ads. If you succeed to do this, youare going to see your CTR sky rocket.

The opposite way is to make your Ads as APPEALLING as possible. How? You choose the colors of your Ads totally different with your template. Make it a HIGHLIGHT ofyour blog. You can attract people to it. May be people will have the urge to CLICK it!

Put AdSense Code in Blogger Post Body

Using Blogger Feature

If you merely want an Ad to appear after every post or every few posts, use this Google feature instead. Go to Template -> Page Elements and you see in your layout the heading “Blog Posts”. Click the “Edit” link at the bottom right corner. You will see this screen.


We assume you have a Google AdSense account. If you don't, you can create one using the same login through your Google account. You will be assigned a Publisher identity number which shall appear in all your AdSense codes.

Tick the “Show Ads Between Posts.” You can select whether to show ads after every post or after several posts. In accordance with AdSense TOC, a maximum of 3 Ads will be displayed. Choose the ad format and color scheme. Save the changes and refresh your Blog to see the Ads.

While using this Blogger feature is simple and easy, you may want more control over the position of the Ads. For example, you may want it between the title and posts rather than after the posts. The following guide will show you how you can do that.

More Ad locations

Log in to your Google AdSense account.



Go to AdSense Setup -> Products and choose “AdSense for Content”.

Next, select “Ad unit” and follow their instructions on picking the size of ad, color combination, and so on, right till the end when they automatically generate a HTML code for you. Copy this code and paste it into Microsoft Notepad. (If you are a WinXP user, click the Start button at the bottom left corner of your screen. Under All Programs -> Accessories, you should see the MS Notepad icon.)



Change the AdSense code
This heading may sound misleading. We are not at all altering the code but converting some of the characters to character entities. We have to parse the AdSense code so that it can be included into your Blog template. This is not against AdSense rules because after the code is inserted into the template, when you view the source code of the template, you should see the exact same AdSense code that Google has generated for you. Indeed, if it is anything different, it means that you have not parsed it correctly and should review the code again. Parsing the code essentially involves replacing the following HTML

< with &lt;
> with &gt;
" with &quot;

Your final Google AdSense Code should look something like this:-

<script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-0000000000000000"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_ad_format = "336x280_as&amp;quot;; google_ad_type = "text"; google_ad_channel = ""; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "000000"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "000000"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script>

Insert code into template

Login to your Dashboard. Go to Template -> Edit HTML and click the box next to “Expand Widget Templates”.

Block copy the entire HTML code for your site that you presently have and save it in a separate text file in MS Notepad. This is one of the two necessary steps whenever you want to change the template. The second step is to “Preview” the new changes, and save the changes only when you are satisfied. The backup you have saved in a text file will come in handy when you accidentally click to save the changes without previewing them. With a backup, you can easily restore the template to the prior state if need be.

Now search for post.body through your browser's search function (Ctrl+F for Firefox and IE). You should see these lines:-

<div class='post-body'> <p><data:post.body/></p> <div style='clear: both;'/> <!-- clear for photos floats --> </div>

If you want the AdSense ads to appear between the post title and post body, add the following code above the orange lines. If you want the AdSense ads to appear immediately after every individual post, add the following code below the orange lines. The code to add is:-

<div style='float:left;'> AdSense Code </div>

The AdSense Code is the one you have amended above in MS Notepad. Do NOT save the template, but click the Preview button to see if you like the placement of the AdSense ads.

Do you want to have the AdSense code on the left of your text as shown in this screenshot?

You cannot have a clear idea what is the favourite Ads they like to click and make the most money for you. In your AdSense Account, you can only make use of the Channels feature to track the performance of the Ads.

Channels don't tell you which IP address is generating invalid clicks on your site. If your AdSense Account is being attacked by Invalid Clicks or Click Fraud, the only thing you can do is to REMOVE the Adsense Ads on your site to PREVENT your AdSense Account from being banned by Google.

AdSense Optimization Secrets

Do you always wonder why some people make a lot of money from Google AdSense but not you? What are their secrets to make money from Google AdSense?

No more Questions. A lot of people are making a lot of money from Google AdSense and that is a truth. You can make money from Google AdSense too and you need no secrets. I will tell you some simple optimization tips to help you make more from Google AdSense.

Optimization tips #1:
AdSense Ads placement is an important factor. You need to try different placements on your sites to get the best performance and earn more from Google AdSense.

Some optimized placements are:

* Ads very near to the top of the page.
* Ads in post.
* Ads at sidebar.
* Ads at post footer.

Optimization tips #2:
AdSense Ads formats. You need to use the best performing Ads formats to make the Ads help you earn clicks and money. If you use wrong Ads formats, then you will not make great money from Google AdSense.

Best Performing Ads Formats:

* Large Rectangle
* Wide Skycrapper
* Skycrapper
* Leaderboard
* Button


Remember: It depends on how you place the Ads formats on your sites. Make the placements on your sites look tidy and well-organized. Don't force yourself to use the Best performing Ads formats on your sites if it really don't fit at all.

Optimization Tips #3:
Border and background color. Make the border and background color the same color so that the Ads blend perfectly into your sites. If your site's background color is "White" then you should use "white border and "white Ads background color".

***Remember: Make the border "invisible", what I mean is make it the same color like the background color.

Optimization Tips #4:
Ads title and text colors. You will need to try out these colors yourself because you are the only person who can test the performance. The colors of Ads title and text can help you make large difference. Try it out properly and when you get the best performing colors, stay with it!

***Remember: Make the "testing" in several days and try to make it as short as possible. Visitors will not want to see your sites keep on changing colors everyday.

Why do I need Personal Identification Number(PIN)?

A Personal Identification Number (PIN) is mailed to each AdSense publisher when earnings have reached $50 on their account. This PIN helps Google AdSense to verify publisher addresses and protect the personal information of our publishers.

If a PIN has been mailed to you, Google AdSense will hold all payments until the PIN has been entered. However, your account will still be accessible, and you'll continue to be able to show ads and accrue earnings.

The PIN will be mailed to the payment address in your account.

REMEMBER: Google AdSense only give 180 days to enter your PIN within your publisher account, or to request a replacement. If you do not enter your PIN within this period, your account will be disabled and your earnings refunded to the appropriate advertisers.
