Bing and Yahoo! together make up a quarter of search traffic, and these Bing search engine users tend to click on ads more than Googlers.  You could be missing out on a higher rate of conversion!

If you’re not seeing a large chunk of valuable traffic from Bing and Yahoo!, you are missing out on a lot of potential of ad revenue – on average, non-Bing-optimized web sites are missing out on a 13% boost in revenue, and a 9.4% boost in traffic.

So, what’s to be done? A few tips to check on your Bing-ability:

1. In your robots.txt file, make sure the Bing spider is allowed to crawl your site (yes, many sites only allow Google to index them)
2. Compare how many of your pages are indexed in Bing and Google, by searching ‘site:yourwebsite.com’ in each engine
3. Use what Microsoft gives you. Make sure that you are not already using Bing’s webmaster tools
4. If you use AdWords to generate traffic, make sure you’re also using Microsoft’s AdCenter

The message is that you need your website maximized for Bing. Google remains the dominant search engine, but you need to start paying attention to Bing too.

You can reward them with Google Adsense revenue sharing.  And, in some cases, other advertisers or affiliates, such as Yahoo, AllPosters, Chitika, etc.

I did a little research myself via Google Adwords and found that the keyword terms of “top 10″ gets over 6 Million searches on Google per month. The terms “Best of” gets over 7 Million searches worldwide.  Think about that for a moment.  A site centered around lists will attract many, many of those searches.  The lists that you create, especially if they are product links could bring in some good income.  This is early so you can get a great start on this site. And right before Christmas to top of that!

It has a unique concept in that it is all about lists.  You create your own lists.  They could be funny, product reviews, or simply use convenient wishlists or Listmania lists on Amazon.

And people LOVE lists.  Just think of David Letterman and his famous Top 10 lists!  In fact, that’s a good idea to make a few of those.  Hmmm.  It’s my idea, don’t steel it!

You do get to make lists of such things as your favorite blog posts, articles you have written elsewhere, or your favorite products at Amazon.  Yes, you do use your own Amazon Affiliate code, so you can make money from that too.  This could be a big money maker.  Especially when you couple it with your pages on Squidoo, Hub Pages, and others.

Plus they are 100% Adsense revenue sharing!

Best Reviews Sign Up

So sign up!  The more, the merrier.

So, you have set up your website and are displaying Google Adsense on your various pages and blog posts.  But, you have noticed that the ads don’t seem to be appropriate or just plain strange.  It has nothing or very little to do with the content on your page or web site, as a whole.

Or, maybe your Click Thru Rate (CTR) is simply not good.  How can you improve the types of Adsense ads that display on the page, you ask.  Relative to your audience, by having better, more appropriate ads on your pages, you will increase the likelihood that your visitors will want to click on an ad.

What you need to know

Google has three different ways of targeting the Adsense ads to your web site.

• Contextual targeting
  Google looks at “such factors as keyword analysis, word frequency, font size, and the overall link structure of the web, in order to determine what a webpage is about and precisely match Google ads to each page.”  It is within this type of targeting that you can manage the ads that display on your site.
• Placement targeting
  In this situation, the advertisers (not you, you’re the publisher) select ad or section in which they will run their ads.  This usually is for web sites with a large audience.
• Interest-based advertising
  “Interest-based advertising allows advertisers to reach users based on their interests, and allows them to show ads based on a user’s previous interactions with them, such as visits to advertiser websites. To complement interest-based advertising, the Ads Preferences Manager lets users view and edit their interest categories.”

*All Adsense ads are geotargeted to the location of the visitor.

How to Section Target the Adsense Ads for Content

In order for you to tell Google what ads you want to display, you can designate exactly where to look within a page, when Google tries to determine the content.

To implement this code, find the section of text in which are you want Google to look.  Then within your page HTML place the following tags at the beginning and end of the text you wish to designate.

Use the following code:

Example:
<!– google_ad_section_end –>

Your Content Here

<!– google_ad_section_end –>
You can also tell Google to ignore a certain section of words by adding this line of code to sections of content that you would like to have ignored:

<!– google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) –>

Things to Keep in Mind About Google Adsense

It can take up to 2 weeks for the changes to take effect.

Google is currently not able to target based upon keywords or categories, only overall content.

You will probably need to experiment with different sections and possibly reword some of your previously-written content.

The Google content network now accepts display ads served from qualified third-party vendors. Third-party ad serving has been a longstanding request from top brand AdWords advertisers who use third parties to create and manage their online campaigns.

Limitations (this will change as they develop):

• Right now it is only available in English, but it will eventually be extended to other languages.
• Only images and Flash ads will display third-party advertising. Text ads are not included.

Another benefit of StumbleUpon is the amount of traffic that can find your pages and sites. If you have something that you would like shared, you can add it to StumbleUpon when you or another stumbler discovers it and reviews it. From that point on that page, image, or video is on the StumbleUpon network.

This leads us to the next point.

There are a number of good ways to find revenue niches for your sites.

You can take a look at Google Trends which is Google’s report of what is hot.

With Hot Trends, you can see a snapshot of what’s on the public’s collective mind by viewing the fastest-rising searches for different points of time. You can see a list of today’s top 100 fastest-rising search queries in the U.S. You can also select a recent date in history to see what the top rising searches were and what the search activity looked like over the course of that day. We update Hot Trends hourly.

It’s a great way of seeing what is happening at the peak of a wave.

Another handy tool for seeing what is selling well is to look at Ebay’s What’s Hot page in Seller Central.

Selling success often translates into being at the right place, at the right time, with the right product. Check back often to stay on top of the latest promotions and hot items on eBay.

Ebay also lists Hot Items by Category, has an Ebay Pulse, and many other options on the above page.

John Hold had a great suggestion;

I find the best tool to use is the google search box. Not on googles home page but in your browser. I use firefox and have a google search box in the header. what you do is just type in any one letter like “f”. it will automatically fill the search box with first, all the searches you’ve made starting with that letter but under that will be “suggestions”, that’s what you want to look at. with “f” you’ll find “facebook, firefox, friendster, etc etc”. these are the top searched for sites. next type in a second letter like “a”. Now you see the most popular search terms that start with “fa” like”family guy, fandango, etc”. I then typed in “t” so that my first three letters are “fat”. After “fat people, fathead” you’ll see some good niche material like fate, fatigue, fatty liver, and fatima. Now click on a search term (niche) that you think will pay good and look at the ads that show and how many there are. From that info you decide if it’s worth going after.
The possibilities are indeed endless. I just typed in “str” for kicks and found these 3 niches, stress, strep throat and stroke. Bet any of those could pay some big adsence bucks. Knock yourself out!

Another is to try to get your hands on Google’s monthly list of most searched for terms or the monthly highest paying words for PPC. These lists can be a challenge to get, but can be insightful.

The last suggestion is to simply read magazines, ezines, and newspapers for the latest news or research being done. You may be able to get a jump on your competition just by using the ‘old noodle’ (your brain)!

Some webmasters are either not accepted into the Google AdSense program, or do not wish to do business with Google.
