The world’s best search engine Google has a very popular revenue-sharing program known as AdSense. It is a fast and easy way for web site publishers of all sizes to display relevant Google advertisements (ads) on their web site’s content pages and earn money from Google. Because the Google ads are related to what your visitors are looking for on your web site (or matched to the characteristics/interests of the visitors that your web pages content attracts), you finally have a way to both monetise and enhance your content pages to make some money from Google online.

With Google AdSense, it is also a way for web site publishers to provide Google web and site search functionalities to their site visitors, and at the same time, to earn some money by displaying Google ads on the search results pages.

Google also provides many useful tools for their publishers to increase traffic, provide smart analytics, or add interactivity to their web sites when you are accepted into their program, for example, Google Analytics.

So, how does Google AdSense work and how you can make money using Google AdSense? The concept is simple, if you go to Google.com and do a search for something, most of the time, you will see some “Sponsored Links” that appear on the top or right side of the screen that are relevant to what you have just searched for. Advertisers basically pay Google to display these ads and they are charged a pre-determined amount every time their ad gets clicked by an internet surfer. This is known as the Pay-Per-Click advertising in the industry, also known as PPC advertising for short.

With the Google AdSense program, your web site will also display these same, sponsored ads on your site, just like on the Google search engine, and you can get paid for it by Google for visitors’ clicks. Every time a Google ad is clicked on your site, you will receive a certain percentage of what Google receives from the advertiser. Once your account reaches $100, you’ll receive a check in the mail.

The Google AdSense program is free to join, and it combines pay-per-click (PPC) and pay-per-impression advertising – meaning that you get paid for valid clicks on the ads on your site or search results pages as well as impressions on your content pages. You will need to have a web site in order to apply for AdSense. (If you need a professional web site, check this out. You will get a free domain name with unlimited domains hosting with this! If you need help, contact me via this blog and I will show you how you can create a beautiful, professional, designer web site within 1 hour even if you do not know any technical skills like HTML! What I am going to show you have put some freelance designers out of job! )

If you already have your own web site, you can also implement AdSense on your web pages immediately after you have been approved by Google for the program.

Google will review your application and follow up with an email to you within 2 to 3 days of your AdSense sign-up. If you are accepted into the program, you can log in to your new Google Adsense account and get the HTML code to insert into your web pages. This is a very simple procedure to do so, hence do not worry about the technical implementation of the program on your web site.

However, I have a tip for you. Build up some contents on your web site or blog first before you apply to Google AdSense, if not, they will likely decline your application. Also, just for your information, there are some people who earn a 5-6 figures income from Google every month just from Google AdSense alone!

Search giant Google has acquired GrandCentral Communications for an undisclosed sum.GrandCentral lets users of its software combine all their phone numbers and voicemail boxes under one phone number so they can manage various phone features online. Once the user clicks on the number, GrandCentral calls the user’s designated phone and then connects it to the number from the address book.

Last week rumors of the acquisition swirled online.

At the time, a GrandCentral spokesman said he couldn’t comment on the rumors.

Google just made the announcement on its blog.

FeedBurner will make a couple of announcements very soon as a direct result of its acquisition by Google. This means that Feedburner can now afford to offer more of its premium features for free.

TotalStats and MyBrand, both previously for-pay services, are now being offered at no charge. And with FeedBurner Stats PRO, you can see the number of people that have clicked on the individual content items in your feed, and also obtain the context of your Reach, which estimates the number of subscribers that interacted with your feed content, on a daily basis. MyBrand is also offered at the PRO level, and lets you in a sense, brand your feed URL (mysite.com/feed rather than feeds.feedburner.com/mysite).

Previous PRO customers will not be charged as of June 2007, and those that sign up for new Feedburner accounts will also reap the benefits of having these existing tools now offered for free, as indicated by the PRO badge next to their feeds.

Now you know why I love Google so much! Whenever they acquire a service-based company, very often than not, they will turn those paid services to free services for all after they acquired the company!

A virus has been detected in a Grand Theft Auto mod video that’s being spread on YouTube.

While it’s still safe to view the video directly on YouTube’s website, following the external link posted in the video and downloading the subsequent “Grand Theft Auto” mod will infect your computer. The most recent video to carry the virus is called “Hood Life” and has surprised some with its ability to infect any computers at all, given the extremely poor quality of the video itself, leaving people to wonder why it’s being downloaded in the first place. It certainly doesn’t look like anything that would be remotely affiliated with the rather graphic video game.
