Stay On Google’s Good Side - Learn New AdSense Policies

The times, they are a-changing, and AdSense users should know that it also isn’t the same anymore.  Yesterday, there were some new policies introduced with which people who depend on AdSense for income probably need to become familiar.

Now, don’t panic - the world hasn’t been turned upside down (or even, in contrary to what some news reports might lead you to believe, overrun by swine flu-bearing sickies).  The fresh policies mostly amount to some tweaks and clarifications.

As explained on the Inside AdSense blog, “[A]ds may not be formatted in a way that makes them indistinguishable from other content on the page where they appear.”  Also, “Google ads, search boxes, and search results may not be placed in emails, as well as alongside emails.”

Another thing: “With this new policy, publishers aren’t permitted to place ads, search boxes, or search results on, within, or alongside other Google products in a way that violates the policies of that other product or service.  For instance, this would include placing ads on sites which allow users to download YouTube videos, which isn’t permitted by the YouTube Terms of Service.”

And finally, Google would continue to appreciate it if you don’t use the company’s logos and trademarks.

Easy enough, right?  So do some fine-tuning if need be, and then go back to business (and/or buying surgical masks and hand sanitizer) as usual.

Paypal Fees are to High


What do you think? Yesterday I received a payment of $132 for a site I putted up for sale that was collecting nothing more than dust. It received some SEO traffic, which will explain the $132 sale I guess…

After 12 hours I was happy to have a buyer at a price that was suitable for me. Lets handle the payments!!! Guy sends me the money and guess how much fee paypal took?

$5,45

That is 4.1% fee! Isn’t that way to high? I changed some settings in the past when I was looking to get cheaper paypal fees, after that I have the strange feeling my fees gone up!? Check in your paypal and share how much % fee they take from you. Would appreciate it if you comment it in here so we can compare! My account type is premier if that makes sense.

I don’t want to know how many dollars paypal took from me from 2005 till now, bet I can pay my vacation from it!

New Blog Design

It was definitely time for a new blog design. I feel like this blog is currently a nice beginning to make things really big. I runned several blogs in the past, and still run some, but never had a blog with more than 150 rss readers. I got the feeling that this blog can become one!

In 3 weeks I am finished with my 5 month during internship at a mortgage / insurance company. This internship took most of my time last 4 months which is the reason I didn’t blog much.

At the end of 2008 I found some time to make new business plans for 2009 and setted up some goals I want to achieve! One of the goals is to gain at least 200 rss subscribers in 2009 and make this blog worth reading.

I will mainly blog about news in the seo area and about projects I am working on. I will also reveal strategies how I make money online. Currently I am working on a few newly sites, I started these last month to make a good begin to work with when I am completely finished with my internship.

My newest website purchase is HQ Wallpapers! A site that provides high quality wallpapers.

Pagerank Update

There was a small pagerank update last week. Two of my sites that I hold with my partner got both a pagerank of 2

Vista themes and Nokia Themes

This motivates me and hope these sites can make some dough in 2009!

Halo Wars Blog dot Com

This is a domain name I hold for quite a long time now, I putted a cheap looking blog on it some time ago and it actually gets some traffic and clicks, it is currently making around $1 monthly, which is nothing to be honest!

As I am getting more active again lately to earn some nice cash, I am going to transform this blog into a good looking, monetized blog about Halo Wars!

Will keep you guys updated on what I change and how I build more links for this one! Make sure you subscribe to my feed to stay updated!
