I live in a large college town and I'm considering making a webpage which lists events going on at the local clubs and on campus. I'm going to attempt to support the site with Google Adsense. I've read that Google monitors IP addresses that click on ads in an attempt to prevent fraud. The problem is that the university computers all use the same basic IP address. How would this work? Would Google think it was one person clicking on the ads (however many times)?\n\nPlease let me know if you've had any experiences with a similar situation. \n\nThanks.

Think about this: AOL users use the same IP address (or a range thereof) and yet publishers do not get banned for attracting AOL users. Google is more intelligent than that.\n\nAnd in one of their Help pages, this issue has been addressed

Generally it shouldn't be a problem to find ad agencies willing to buy your traffic or supply you ads for this relatively high amount of users. Consider joining third-party network, such as Yahoo! Publisher Network, Google Adsense, or AdBrite.\n\nIf they're 300,000 unique users arriving at the site daily, how many pageviews total do they generate? Tha rates of $1-2 per 1,000 pageviews are not that hard to get.

A search engine often links key word(s) with web pages available at numerous addresses on various servers.  It often notes the frequency that the pages are accessed (popularity) since these may be more useful to more individuals.  See the link for details.  Goood luck.

Yes, we are having REAL SUCCESS with Adsense. Let's just say we are earning in one month what a research assistant in Washington DC earns in a year. We're definitely not earning pennies from the program :o)\n\nWebmasterWorld has a lot of discussions on Adsense and one of the most active discussions right now is the thread "How I made a Million in 3 Months with Adsense  http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/12751.htm . The person who started the thread is Markus Finch, who operates the immensely popular online dating website PlentyofFish.com. PlentyofFish.com's business model is different from the subscription based model used by the big online dating websites. Instead of subscriptions, Markus relies on advertising, specifically Google Adsense to derive income from his website. The lessons he shares are:\n\n1. Understand your traffic and how it could affect your keywords.\n2. Create sites that will bring in repeat traffic.\n3. Have your users create content and lots of it.\n4. Do not enter markets with a lot of competition monitized via adsense.\n5. Keep your site simple.\n6. Learn from various forums and if people are not talking about your market, there is a good chance you will make money.\n\nMarkus' website has an impressive Alexa rank of 1,407. What is more impressive is that the site is only a two-person operation, with Markus getting help from his girlfriend unlike his big competitors run by big corporations (e.g. Viacom owns Match.com).\n\nIt is important that you experiment, but keep in mind that your mileage varies. Some sites fit so well with Adsense and can earn thousands from it (example is my website), while some can earn very little from it -- EVEN with tremendous amount of traffic. Here's a thread I recently answered where the site owner said that her site was even featured in 60 Minutes show and is enjoying an avalanche of traffic - yet she earns only $10 from it http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Ar5WQhJtsb8LJN4NbpDeivgjzKIX?qid=1006032112980 \n\nYou have to remember that your income will depend on several factors: \n\n1. keywords shown on your site\n2. level of advertiser bidding on your site - e.g. keywords "diamond" is worth more than "squirrel games" because more advertisers are willing to spend money on those interested in diamonds\n3. your traffic levels - the more traffic you have, the better\n4. your CTR rate - the higher the better and this depends on your ad placement, your ad colors\n5. responsiveness of audience to ads\n5. smartpricing - the big unknown in Adsense\n\nOne website with the 10,000 uniques a day can earn $50 while another may earn $500. Your mileage varies.\n\nThe only way you can learn about how your site will perform with Adsense is through trying it.\n\nI suggest you read the following articles:\n\nGoogle Adsense: How Small Business Entrepreneurs can Earn from Online Advertising http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol123/adsense.htm \nEarning Revenues from Contextual Advertising http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol139/contextual.htm \n8 Tips for Maximizing Contextual Advertising Revenues http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol146/contextual.htm \nContextual Advertising: Why Are You Earning Only Pennies? http://www.powerhomebiz.com/022006/adsense.htm

Those are sites where people put a bunch of adword banners so when people click on them they get paid. I'm actually thinking of making one myself. You cant really prevent them. Thats up to the search engines. Or in yahoo search you can choose block site.

They can log your externally exposed IP address.  This wont be the same address you see if you're behind a network router (linksys) or something.  If you'd like to know your IP they see, go to www.whatismyip.com.  If you leave a message or comment, if they're smart, they'd be able to associate your page hit with that message time and from then on out, thye'd know that IP address was you.  This might be a problem if you're using dsl, as thats a static connection, and your IP would always be the same.  However, with cable, it uses DHCP so your IP should change pretty frequently i blieve.

Google Adsense is not as easy as what some portray it to be. It is not simply putting up a website (and a free one at that in your case), then leaving it without thinking of adding content and hoping the cheques will start coming in.\n\nWe've been with Adsense since the program was offered to the general public way back in June 2003 and it has been extremely good to us. It gives us 5-digit monthly revenues.\n\nYour Google Adsense earnings depend on several factors:\n\n1. Keywords shown on your site = some keywords are simply more expensive than others. Note, though, that advertisers can bid separately on the search and content network and they most often bid lower on content network. A keyword that goes for $5 per click on Google search may be paying only $1 on your site.\n\n2. Level of advertiser bidding on your site - e.g. keywords "diamond" is worth more than "squirrel games" because more advertisers are willing to spend money on those interested in diamonds. Some topics are simply better than others.\n\n3. Responsiveness of your audience to ads. Some sites are THE destinations by itself -- e.g. a news site, a gaming site, a forum. If your site does not attract visitors who are looking for something else (especially ways to spend money), then you won't do good with Adsense. That's why review sites are doing well with Adsense because people who go there are looking for SOMETHING ELSE.\n\n3. Your traffic levels - the more traffic you have (and all things above are working for you), the better.  In our case, we noticed that the source of traffic is also critical (traffic from Google is better than traffic from Yahoo as we have seen when we lost Google traffic due to update Jagger).\n\n4. Your CTR rate - the higher the better and this depends on the your ad placement, your ad colors, and responsiveness of audience\n\n5. Smartpricing - the big unknown in Adsense\n\nOne website with the 10,000 uniques a day can earn $50 while another may earn $500. Your mileage varies.\n\nI suggest you read the following articles to help get more ideas of how to earn more from Adsense.\n\nGoogle Adsense: How Small Business Entrepreneurs can Earn from Online Advertising http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol123/adsense.htm \nEarning Revenues from Contextual Advertising http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol139/contextual.htm \n8 Tips for Maximizing Contextual Advertising Revenues http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol146/contextual.htm \nContextual Advertising: Why Are You Earning Only Pennies? http://www.powerhomebiz.com/022006/adsense.htm

Not necessarily. IP addresses comes in static and dynamics and can originate from anywhere across the country depending on how the ISP network is setup. A lot of advertisements you get, depending on the website you go to may store cookie information based on your zip code, shopping habits, and etc. To prevent stuff like this you can block cookies, but be aware that a lot of web functions may not work if you disable cookies... a lot of websites such as yahoo, google contains info on their use of cookies... hopes this helps.

Google adsense will allow you to earn on a pay per click basis. It is basically the flip side of google adwords. People pay per click to get traffic. You will be getting paid a portion of that pay per click to send them off of your site to the other.\n\nObviously if you have more traffic you will get more people clicking. The down side is that you will be sending them on their way with an ad to omeone elses site. This may be ok or you may not want to. The key is google will check your sites and the ads must be relevent to what your site is about.\n\nI don't think you have to pay but you do have to sign up and have your site qualified.\n\nTo do banner ads you have to build your traffic first unless you go through multiple middle men of some sort where you will get much less money. As far as how banner ads work: when you sign up you will just paste a snippet of html code into your web page and it will cause the banner ad to be loaded and tracked and will allow you to get paid for it. \n\nYou might also consider something called affiliate marketing for some place like amazon.com. You put links for the books or other products that your surfers would like and if they click and buy you get a portion of the money. \n\nLook into other affiliate programs too, the more some of them pay the less valuable the stuff is and the more you are pushing junk, keep that in mind. Just make sure you think it is a good product is what I am getting at. I would have no part in selling an ebook for $40 to get $20 a pop that is all about getting a few suckers to pay more than they should. (I mean a book costs $20 and you get to hold it in your hand, how valuable can this info really be?)\n\nGood Luck

As technology advances and more people come to rely on the Internet for information, leisure, and business it seems as if keeping your computer free of advertising is a daunting task. Not technically fitting into either the virus or spam category we have spyware and adware, which are growing concerns for Internet users. At times these programs may invade your privacy, contain malicious code, and at the very least they can be a nuisance when using a computer connected to the Internet.\n\nAdware\nAdware is considered a legitmate alternative offered to consumers who do not wish to pay for software. Programs, games or utilities can be designed and distributed as freeware. Sometimes freeware blocks features and functions of the software until you pay to register it. Today we have a growing number of software developers who offer their goods as "sponsored" freeware until you pay to register. Generally most or all features of the freeware are enabled but you will be viewing sponsored advertisements while the software is being used. The advertisements usually run in a small section of the software interface or as a pop-up ad box on your desktop. When you stop running the software, the ads should disappear. This allows consumers to try the software before they buy and you always have the option of disabling the ads by purchasing a registration key. \n\nIn many cases, adware is a legitimate revenue source for companies who offer their software free to users. A perfect example of this would be the popular e-mail program, Eudora. You can choose to purchase Eudora or run the software in sponsored mode. In sponsored mode Eudora will display an ad window in the program and up to three sponsored toolbar links. Eudora adware is not malicious; it reportedly doesn't track your habits or provide information about you to a third party. This type of adware is simply serving up random paid ads within the program. When you quit the program the ads will stop running on your system.\n\nSpyware\nUnfortunately, some freeware applications which contain adware do track your surfing habits in order to serve ads related to you. When the adware becomes intrusive like this, then we move it in the spyware category and it then becomes something you should avoid for privacy and security reasons. Due to its invasive nature, spyware has really given adware a bad name as many people do not know the differences between the two, or use the the terms interchangeably. \n\nSpyware is considered a malicious program and is similar to a Trojan Horse in that users unwittingly install the product when they install something else. A common way to become a victim of spyware is to download certain peer-to-peer file swapping products that are available today. \n\nSpyware works like adware but is usually a separate program that is installed unknowingly when you install another freeware type program or application. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else. Spyware can also gather information about e-mail addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers. \n\nBecause spyware exists as independent executable programs, they have the capability to monitor your keystrokes, scan files on the hard drive, snoop other applications, such as chat programs or word processors, install other spyware programs, read cookies, change the default home page on the Web browser, while consistently relaying this information back to the spyware author who will either use it for advertising and marketing purposes or sell the information to another party.  \n\nLicensing agreements that accompany software downloads sometimes warn the user that a spyware program will be installed along with the requested software, but the licensing agreements are not always be read completely by users because the notice of a spyware installation is often couched in obtuse, hard-to-read legal disclaimers. \n\n\nCombating

They are a company who basically serves ads to webpages. So if you visit a site with an ad system from double click, then you will see doubleslick's address in the status bar.

well the IP addresses are managed by ICANN, making sure there are no duplicate IP addresses, but the addresses that we use on our pc is assigned by our ISPs or the company's system administrator.\n\nthe lowest IP address is 0.0.0.0 and the highest is 255.255.255.255. there are several classes concerning IP address, there's class a which ranges from 1.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255, class b from 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255, class c from 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255, class d, which is used for multicasting, is from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 and the last is class e, which reserved for future usage, is from 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.\n\nthe IP address 0.0.0.0 is used by hosts when they are being booted. IP adresses with 0 as network number refer to the current network,  for example, a company has a network number of 127.1.0.0, and i have a computer with an IP address of 127.1.1.1 that means that my computer is under the network of that company. an address consisting of all 1s are used for broadcasting on a local network, and addresses that starts with 127.xx.yy.zz are used for loopback settings, packets sent to that address are not sent out and is treated as incoming packets.\n\nbasically it is hard to make up your own IP address coz you might be having a duplicate address and the packets the you should be receiving might be received by another computer

Unless it's a major website most companies will not pay you to advertise on your site.\n\nWhat you can do is what's called a "banner exchange". Where a website will post a banner for your website, and you post one for there's. \n\nNo one pays for private internet advertising anymore. It's just not worth it unless it's a major website that averages a couple million hits a day (like Yahoo!!).

10,000 unique VISITS (IPs) a day is a good number. HITS are not the count to look for. If the site is getting 10K visits that is worth the investigation. You could ask dozens of more questions: where does the traffic come from, how long do visits last, what are the number of click throughs, etc. Like all advertising, we want a crystal ball to predict the productivity, unfortunately even a tried a true method that produces for hundreds of companies may not work for yours. I always use a three month rule of thumb; if I try an ad for three months and it doesn't produce above break even it gets pulled.

It depends on the firewalls and controls being used.  This doesn't work for me, but I've heard it works for others.\n\nGo to www.snipurl.com or www.littleurl.com, they translate a web address into a shorter one.  If the screening software doesn't look at IP addresses you should be able to translate any web site address into another one.  Let me know if it works.

Mass mailings - no!  These will only end up in the SPAM or BULK mail of people and rather than promote could, if done incorrectly, generate bad publicity.\n\nBanner exchanges is a possibility...however, no flashing banners with gaudy colouring...small, well designed yes, could work.\n\nAdding a signature line to all emails you generate is unobtrusive and sometimes an effective way of generating traffic.  \n\nPossibly creating a Refer service would work...visitors to your site, when they sign up are asked to refer people they believe would be interested in your site offerings.  For, say, 5 referrals that prove productive they would receive a Free listing on your site for one auction.  \n\nCreate a "contest" and list it with some of the Contest sites...offering a free auction listing for one item, for instance and include the value of the "prize" in the contest information.\n\nMost sites that are seeking the generation of traffic have to come up with creative ways of doing it.  Creating hype with no rewards doesn't work any longer...\n\nRegister with Adsense and have your ad become part of the system to be added to  like sites.  These generate reasonable results because they are not imposing on the visitor and they are geared towards what the visitor is interested to begin with.  It's possible that your adsense ad could be posted on sites such as Amazon.com, Google, Ebay etc.  Any site that has related auction information...including when people search for auctions.\n\nCreate a newsletter or message board...add things of interest to not only your current clientele but incentives that will have them spreading the word for you.\n\nA site such as BzzAgent.com might be of benefit as well...word of mouth agents that talk to people about services and products they have tried.  \n\nDo up a very good ebook or pdf that relates to the Auction world in general...How to write a Winning auction, how to take effective pictures, best way to display your product/item etc etc.  By making this a really great item that is available for free and includes screen captures of your site as examples that when clicked, would lead the reader directly to that page on your site (this could entice the reader to then explore the site on their own) in each article...also including links to your site as well as perhaps incentives to join your site and use your auction service...can generate more traffic as well.\n\nGrabbing a book on how to run an auction site will garner more ideas about how to market it.  Searching on how to market an auction site will also get you more great info.  You want to stay away from any marketing scheme that irritates people however.  Bulk anything, annoying banners, overly large signature lines or blatant "advertising" of your site on other sites such as message boards sales pitch and nothing else that is remotely related to the site you are visiting, will result in bad press.\n\nGoes without saying...ensure that the major search engines are aware of your site.  Typing in "auctions" garnered no mention of your site up to page 5...ideally page 3 is the furthest you want to be, page one  within the top 10 is optimum.  "auction sites" was the same result, no mention as of page 5. \n\nEnsure the site is setup (in the html code) to optimally invite the crawlers and robots but to avoid the pages you do not want it to crawl.  The index is the main area therefore you want to direct the robots to this.  There is specific code that instructs robots to crawl only the index.  Ensure that the content is always fresh, this continues to  invite the robots to your site and boosts your standings.  The more visits made to the site, the higher the rank climbs to.  In the Meta Tags ensure that KEY words are included.  Don't place a truck load of keywords as the crawlers stop normally at about the first 10.  Make these 10 words count by putting the MAIN aspects of your site here.  If you hav

ClickNGoWeb is a new business based here in NC.  My student teacher's father got in on the ground floor;  she signed up shortly thereafter.  They know the owner of the company personally and can vouch for his intellect, character and reliability. They're already making money for doing nothing!  \n\nThe distributors have the option to sell lank template bwebsites or to make and sell websites or they can simply sign up early enough to reap the benefits of others signing up later.  I just signed up and I'm already #1365 to sign up.  My intern has already made her $189.95 back plus more, so I figure this to be a failsafe venture. You only need to get 2 people to sign up under you, then they get 2 they each of them get 2 more and so on.  The money is supposed to roll in slowly but steadily. I am but a humble schoolteacher with a small child and a husband who loves to golf.  I just want to live comfortably; I don't care about getting rich. \n\nFeel free to email me for more information.
