yangyang — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 02:40:13 +0000

I was just browsing through JenSense.com (which btw, is a great resource for serious Adsensers) and noticed some new changes Google is making to Adsense formats - round corner ad formats. There are crisply 3 options, namely square corners, slightly rounded corners and very rounded corners. See my screenshot below of the dropdown selection in setup.

A reminder of the quality of your pages

yangyang — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 16:49:06 +0000

You can see I haven’t come up with a dime of posts here at ADD since several weeks ago, sorry about that. I was constantly haunted by SE problems that many of my pages from another site were left to rot in Google’s supplemental index. The problem I think, would be best described as inadequate commitment to the quality of content and a weak attempt to absorb more traffic from SEs by the mere division of previously longer pages into shorter ones.

This has proven itself so WRONG and DETRIMENTAL that almost certainly WILL jeopardize the SERP of your site. Don’t you ever try to do that from my case. Just a test that has something to tell so both of us benefit.

There are no high paying keywords, really

There are no such thing as high paying keywords that you can borrow, only high paying websites that you can make.

Just now I came across this insightful discussion at WebmasterWorld about high paying keywords, which I believe, is a very good lesson every Adsense beginner should take a close peek. It’s live here as I’m writing this digest, http://www.webmasterworld.com/google_adsense/3380920.htm.

Traffic is the ultimate weapon

yangyang — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 04:51:57 +0000

This is especially true for newbies. Stop worrying about CTR or eCPM any more. They have their own limits, but traffic, for crying out loud, has no limit at all! When you finally manage to work out the secrets of getting sustainable high quality(by high quality, I mean targeted traffic to targeted content) traffic to your site, sky’s the limit of your earning potential.

Without big traffic, it’s simply not worth it to spend so much time trying every petite techniques in hope of increasing your CTR or eCPM. Effects take longer time to be observed, and experiments on a small base of traffic tends to be agonizing, continuously bewildering you. You log in your Adsense control panel dozens of times a day, just praying for more than merely one or two clicks. Time is so precious yet you have spent so much of it on trivial things like this, letting them bothering you.

Adsense Knowledge Base online

yangyang — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 18:52:30 +0000

After a whole day sitting at my computer coding this small label(tag, or) based KB, it’s finally put online, Adsense Knowledge Base, and pretty much functioning as I have almost expected. Check it out here, or you may have already noticed the menu bar nailed up the middle.

With all the trivial questions, suggestions, experiments and even complaints I can really assemble up something interesting in it. Most of the articles are so concisely to the point that I doubt search engines are able to understand them. So you see, I’m just going to make them all short and sweet, ripped off most of the fluff.
