How To Earn More From Google?s Adsense

by Dennis Mullen on May 27, 2012

Is AdSense giving you enough revenue for all your hard work? Are you looking out to get started with AdSense or just increase your current revenue from it? Google Adsense can be a great way to increase a website?s revenue when done the right way. There are already so many websites earning revenue from this. The entire Adsense system is designed specifically to maximize what you can earn, so if you don?t use it, you could be losing money. Learning to succeed with Adsense is actually quite simple. You just need some dedication to get the system working for you. Unfortunately so many people find it hard to make any money from their Adsense efforts. The reason for this is simple; you have to keep on experimenting and learning to get the most out of your Adsense campaign. Here are some effective tips designed to help you raise your Adsense income and boost your profits.

If you?re just getting a site set up for adsense, there is a handy little tool you can use to test them out. You can easily find out what kind of ads Google will serve on your site through Adsense by installing the ?Google AdSense Preview Tool?. Ok, go to the advertiser?s destinations without causing any fake clicks, at that point you add their site URLs to your filter. Ads served up depend on geographic location, so then you can see what?s being shown on your site in other places. So whatever country they?re in you?ll see what is being shown ? cool.

It?s not a good idea to put more than two Adsense blocks on the same page. Of course you?ll see other sites around with more than this number, but it?s not wise. Keep the number of blocks to one or two so visitors won?t think they?re on a spammy site. When you put more ads on your site, you risk the lower paying ads beginning to show up. When you?re adding the code, keep the number of blocks to a minimum.

AdSense gives you the freedom to have four different color variations for each of the variables that you specify the color for. As always, if you have any highly traffiked pages, then you can test the different colors and see what converts the best. It doesn?t matter what kind of site you have, just test it.

Adsense is a huge program, and the income possibilities are there if you work at it. Putting adsense on your site will enhance its value should you ever decide to sell it.

What you can do with Exit Plan Profits in your own online business is diversify your marketing which will enable you to extend your reach to your target market.

Japan: Fukushima nuclear pool not unstable

Goshi Hosono, Japan's environment minister, shows reporters the fuel rod pool at Fukushima's No. 4 reactor on Saturday.

By msnbc.com staff and news services

FUKUSHIMA, Japan -- Amid concerns of a new disaster should a quake destroy the pool cooling off radioactive nuclear fuel rods at Fukushima's Reactor No. 4, Japan on Saturday arranged a tour for journalists and declared the situation manageable -- but also very long term.

"I don't think the situation is unstable," said Goshi Hosono, Japan's environment minister and the man in charge of the cleanup. He was speaking to reporters after his first tour of the twisted and partly destroyed building that houses the reactor.

Hosono said he expected workers to begin removing fuel from the reactor's storage pool next year.

Work began last month to raise what amounts to a giant tent over the building to keep radioactive dust from scattering during the transport of the fuel rods, which now are under just a tarp at the top of the building.

Senator Ron Wyden was the first U.S. Senator to get a look inside Japan's Fukushima nuclear energy plant. Wyden discusses what he saw inside the plant and whether or not imported food from Japan is safe to eat.

Hosono said his biggest concern was ensuring Japan could secure the labor and talent to finish the decommissioning of the Fukushima reactors over the coming decades.?

"This may take 30 or even 40 years to complete and extremely difficult work is still ahead of us," he said.

Tokyo Electric Power, the utility that operates the Fukushima Daiichi plant, says its analysis shows the No. 4 reactor building would hold up in a strong earthquake even after being badly damaged by a hydrogen explosion when three nearby reactors suffered meltdowns in March 2011.

Japanese safety regulators on Friday ordered Tepco to recheck its findings after measurements showed the west wall of the reactor building was buckling out by about 1.2 inches.

Some experts believe the fuel in the pool is now too weak to generate much radioactivity, but others are still worried.

"The No. 4 reactor is visibly damaged and in a fragile state, down to the floor that holds the spent fuel pool," Hiroaki Koide, an assistant professor at Kyoto University?s Research Reactor Institute, told the New York Times. "Any radioactive release could be huge and go directly into the environment."?

Hosono said the government accepted Tepco's estimate that the No. 4 reactor could withstand an earthquake measuring a "strong 6" on the Japanese scale.

The magnitude 9 quake last March that triggered a tsunami and overran Fukushima's backup power systems was measured at 7 on the Japanese scale.

Some environmental critics charge the No. 4 reactor presents a particular risk of a knock-on disaster if a subsequent earthquake were to topple it or puncture its fuel storage pool and allow the 65 feet of water now covering and cooling 1,535 uranium fuel assemblies to drain away.

Such an accident, they say, could release far more radiation than the leaks of radioactive water Tepco has battled since improvising a system for cooling reactor cores last year.

Hosono climbed a narrow and dark staircase built with scaffolding to take reporters to the top of the No. 4 building where the fuel pool has been covered with a tarp.

Tepco has taken steps to shore up support for the pool, which measures ?30 feet by 60 feet across, by adding a cement column underneath.

Officials from the utility demonstrated how they were using water in the pool as a kind of level to confirm the building was not tipping. They also showed a grid of floats holding up the tarp they said could support a person if a worker fell in.

Reuters contributed to this report.

Metcalfe takes the late Peter Wheeler's Scamander ATV out for a spin

Harry Metcalfe, the amazing Editorial Director and founder of Evo magazine, has held on to one of the most enviable jobs in the world since 1998 which has allowed him to behold, own, drive and criticize almost every great vehicle known to man so far. So when Mr. Metcalfe tells us that he?s just seen the ?most amazing vehicle?, you know it?s a really special automotive that we?re talking about here. And the legend doesn?t appear to have been totally off the mark with his lavish praise. The Scamander ATV created by Peter Wheeler takes it all-terrain promise a little too seriously delivering a tip speed of 120mph on land going up to 60 mph from a standing start in around 6 seconds thanks to a V6 engine capable of outputting 300-horsepower.

Video SolutionsTupac Shakur recently made an appearance at the Coachella Music Festival where the rapper performed with Snoop Dog. The crowd went nuts, of course. And no, this wasn?t some freak mass hallucination of a Tupac resurrection but a jaw-dropping showcase of 3D holographic technology. Already the Internet is abuzz with possibilities of other tech-created ?resurrections? from John Lennon to Bob Marley. The people want more.

People like looking at images ? moving images to be specific. It may be too early for small business owners or entrepreneurs to use the incredible technology for their marketing and promotions since it?ll definitely be too expensive at this point. But this doesn?t mean they should still stick to the usual, static medium to drum up business. VideoSolutions.tv has the answer for businesses looking to capture a market on and offline using today?s easily obtainable technology.

The competition for consumers has gotten a lot harder with the inclusion of the Internet as an effective avenue for building a brand, promoting an event, harnessing a new market, and basically improving bottom lines. The shrewd and the savvy recognize the value of a well produced online content that allows viewers to know exactly what the site, product or service means to convey, and captures them long enough to make decisions that?ll affect business sales.

An incredibly talented New York hip-hop dance group looking to promote their avant-garde performances could easily persuade a French fashion designer to book them for a show by simply watching an extremely well-edited video on the group?s Facebook page. A small graphic design business in Finland could effectively entice a newlywed couple?whose wedding budget has no limit?to acquire their services to design the invitation by merely watching a visually appealing one-minute promotional video.

The power of video simply can?t be matched by any other medium? except maybe by 3D hologram.

Good quality web content is easily achieved with the support of a premier video production house like Video Solution. Every brand or business that wants to introduce their product or promote their service can do no wrong with a professionally-produced web video.

94% The Secret World of Arrietty

All Critics (115) | Top Critics (25) | Fresh (108) | Rotten (7)

As pretty as it is, this Secret World is too Earthbound by far.

The Secret World of Arrietty is a marvelously captivating animated feature about very tiny people and the full-scale world they inhabit.

Yonebayashi gives Arrietty an excellent sense of balance, with the adventure aspects of the story, which feel legitimately dangerous providing well-paced contrast the film's more placid moments.

It's an enjoyable and attractive-looking film, but a little of that "Speed Racer" energy wouldn't have been such a bad thing.

The visual details are inventive, and the animation - particularly the colors - is lovely.

"The Secret World of Arrietty'' is a feast for the eyes that will engage the entire family.

There's a gentle movie from Japan that's going to seem familiar to a lot of fans of the series of books about 'The Borrowers.'

Like motion picture Yoga--quietly cathartic and just the thing to raise your kids on.

It certainly belongs in the second rank of Ghibli fantasies. But give it a chance.

Most will be caught up in its beautiful spell, immersed in great storytelling at its finest.

The soft-focus animation has an impressionistic quality, as if a gentle breeze had wafted across a Monet canvas.

This smart, winsome fairy tale is not quite Hiyao Miyazaki, but it still might be the best animated film that (some few) will see all year.

Another Studio Ghibli wonder, as heartbreaking for its devotion to craft, artistry and intelligent storytelling (for viewers of all ages) as for its themes of inevitable exile and impossible love.

There's a gentle movie from Japan that's going to seem familiar to a lot of fans of the series of books about 'The Borrowers.'

...yet another jewel in the crown of Studio Ghibli.

...creates a sense of wide-eyed wonder and discovery as we experience the awe-inspiring mysteries of an ordinary house as seen from the four-inch borrower's point of view.

The animation, a gorgeous blend of bewitching watercolored backgrounds and poignantly rendered characters, is, as ever, beyond reproach.

What is most effective is the way the sense of peaceful shelter and retreat in the country setting contrasts with the precariousness of the situations faced by Shawn and Arrietty.

It's hard to imagine this scenario playing out with more delicacy and care than animator-turned-director Yonebayashi Hiromasa brings to bear.

Arrietty has an elegiac mood, like a more wan and sedate Toy Story.

Gently enchanting, an extraordinary adventure

There may not be a frenzy of action and fast cuts but each scene has meticulous details about how the borrowers live, how they make use of the things in their environment to survive.

Tiny people who live in the walls of a rural home are put at risk when they are discovered by the humans residing there. Studio Ghibli offers a soothing animated version of the classic children's novels.

the basic elements of loneliness, friendship, and the fragility of life are intact, along with that ineffable sense of wonder, melancholy, and magic

By being less bizarre than SPIRITED AWAY and having more of a human center to the film, THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY is one of Studio Ghibli's best efforts to date.

Verizon getting a blue Motorola Droid RAZR on May 18?

Motorola Droid RAZR Blue

We've seen the Motorola Droid RAZR in white, black and purple. Now it looks like Verizon's got a blue version joining the ranks as well. According to the inventory screens we've received, it's slated for release on May 18. It's the same as Droid RAZR we first reviewed back in November -- and that means it's also running Gingerbread, we're told. And we also can't help but notice that this shade of blue isn't unlike what Nokia has on the Lumia 900. Coincidence?

No word on pricing yet (or if there's a blue MAXX version on the way), and remember that none of this is official until Verizon says it is. So stay tuned.

Thanks, anon!

Colo civil unions bill gets OK by another panel

DENVER (AP) ? A bill to allow civil unions for gay couples in Colorado must survive two more votes in the Republican-led House before it gets to the governor's desk, but it appears closer than in any other year to becoming law.

If the legislation passes, Colorado would join more than a dozen states that allow gay marriage or civil unions. Hawaii and Delaware began allowing civil unions earlier this year.

The measure does not allow gay marriage but does grant gay couples rights similar to marriage, including enhanced inheritance and parental rights, and the ability to be involved in partner's medical decisions.

So far Colorado Democrats have been able to advance the bill past two Republican-led House committees. The finance committee approved the measure with a 7-6 vote Friday after the bill passed the House judiciary committee late Thursday.

Rep. Don Beezley was the only Republican to support the measure on the finance panel.

"For me, it really came down to that basic issue of fairness and doing the right thing," Beezley said, echoing a similar comment made by Republican Rep. B.J. Nikkel, who joined Democrats on the judiciary committee in approving the measure.

The bill now goes before the appropriations committee. Democrats on that panel unanimously support the bill and need at least one Republican to vote yes for it to go to the full House.

Republican Rep. Cheri Gerou, a member of the appropriations committee, previously said she supports the measure.

Republicans have a 33-32 vote advantage in the House. But given the committee votes, where Republicans joined Democrats, the bill could have enough support for passage.

"I'm very excited," said a smiling Rep. Mark Ferrandino, a Democrat and gay lawmaker sponsoring the bill. "We're one step closer today than we were yesterday, and yesterday we were one step closer than we've ever been."

The state Senate has already approved the bill and it could reach Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper by Wednesday, when the session ends. He is firmly in support.

Republicans who oppose the bill said it undermines traditional marriage and that voters expressed their position on the issue when they banned same-sex marriage in 2006.

Earlier Friday, Republican House Speaker Frank McNulty gave his colleagues a pointed warning from the podium, urging them not to attack the motives of legislators on pending legislation. He later told The Associated Press he was referring to the civil unions bill.

McNulty accused Senate Democrats of purposely taking months to move the bill to the House to force a decision within the final days of the legislative session.

"I think that there are those in the Democratic Party that want to make sure that this issue is a political issue in November," he said, referring to the upcoming election.

Beezley and Nikkel are not running for re-election.

Buying a $399 iPad 2? Here's the rarer, more efficient specimen you need to (somehow) track down

Not all iPads are made equal, even if they're all packaged and branded identically. There's a major new mutation within the 2nd generation tablet and it brings significantly better battery life. Specifically, the fourth and latest production model of the iPad 2 (known as iPad2,4) has not only a lower price tag ($399) but also a new 32nm processor, which is significantly smaller and more efficient than those in previous iPad 2s (which had 45nm chips and an older transistor design). According to AnandTech, this results in an overall 16 percent increase in battery life during web browsing and as much as a 30 percent boost when playing games. Obviously that's worth having, but how can you tell if a boxed-up iPad 2 has the new processor before taking it to the checkout? Here's the downer: you can't. Until retailers' inventories naturally flood with the updated type, the only way to tell is by switching the slate on and running a utility like GeekBench -- and perhaps there'll be circumstances where you can give that a go on the shop floor. Alternatively, if third-party sellers discover that their stock is the iPad2,4, they could pull off a Darwinian win-win by marketing that fact to buyers.
