OK so google have released an updated version of Analytics, different layout and few new features!
You can now see from your summary page a summary of key data. Including a thumbs up or down image to indicate whether or not you have gone up or down in traffic. Pretty handy!!

So i havn’t written a blog in a long time so i thought it was about time. I was looking into Google Adsense the other week and remembered id set up an account a few months ago and forget all about it. When researching on the net about ways to make an extra quid or two many articles were talking about Adsense.
This article isn’t about to telling you the way you can make money on the web but just a few thoughts that i have and some pointers in the right direction.
1. Adsense
BE CAREFULL. Check the Terms of Service (TOS) as you can’t give out specific information about what you make or clicks it takes to earn $100 etc. If you breach there terms by clicking your own adverts you will get a good opportunity for free cash taken away from you!
It takes a few minutes to get setup and working, the longest part is waiting for them to accept your account (make sure you have enough content on your website for them too approve it)
So the big question how much can / do people earn?
In my first month ive earn $6. Yer yer i know, a bit rubbish! But then ive been a bit rubbish and not being using it properly. I had one advert on a website that is getting redeveloped as we speak. Was never going to make me rich! But i have seen stories of people earning $100,000 a month from adsense! If you have a blog, website, a page with some content or somewhere to put an ad box, you will notice the income start coming in. If your site isn’t busy then yes it will take some time to earn decent money but if you keep writing content that has plenty of informative and interesting text google will like your pages more and thus more people will end up finding them.
So come on, who’s making it big time through adsense?

2. Amazon Affiliate scheme
With Amazon associates scheme you only earn money for people who buy via your adverts. But you can earn up to 15% on some referrals! Potentially you could earn a fortune from this, but it really depends heavily on the content of your site. If your are reviewing products on your site then people are there probably to find out if something is good. If you have a good review and within that is a amazon advert to buy it – you are likely to get a referral. This all sounds really easy doesn’t it? Review loads of products and make loads of money? If you have a busy site then it is this easy but thats the hard part, driving traffic to your site (which i will cover in my next blog)
All comments and monthly taking on your advert schemes (providing the individual ad schemes allow this) are welcomed as i want to here about your solutions and experiences!!
