Getting banned from Google isn’t good for you.
Over half the online users use it daily to find what they’re looking for.
If you happen to be using a service like DomainSponsor, Parked or Sedo, you’re likely to see your domain name banned from this powerful search engine, not to mention others like Yahoo! and Bing.
You see, landing pages are some of the lowest value pages which users can come across and it’s going to be bad for business for any search engine to display these pages as their primary results… or even in their “inner pages” results. So most search engines just ban automated landing pages and the domain names that lead there.
That’s why you need to get off the landing page train because it’s basically going into the proverbial wall.
Not so long ago, you still got some search engine visitors to your landing pages but not anymore, those days are over. Just go check your “landed pages” with this tool and see how completely banned your landing pages are, with Google. Be warned, it’s not going to be a pretty sight!
Spend as many hours as necessary to build up forums, blogs, social networks, directories or other services, for each one of your domain names but don’t leave them with the landing pages providers because they’re destroying your ability to derive search engine traffic, from them.
In some cases, you may be able to eventually get listed again with several search engines but that’s not a sure thing as you’ll need to setup a very convincing web destination for that to happen.
While landing pages have been an attractive solution for a while, it’s just not a good deal anymore.
Not getting search engine traffic will likely kill several times the revenue potential you’d have by developing a worthwhile web destination associated with each of your domain names.
Be smart and get off the landing page parade now because the more you wait, the more you’re likely to suffer from a nasty wall-t0-wall ban, from almost every major search engine out there, including Google.
If you build, maintain or promote web sites that derive part or all of their revenue from the Google AdSense program, you’ve surely seen a sharp decrease in your earnings, in the last months.
These are the main theories that are being discussed as to what may explain the drop…
It might even be something else but it’s undeniable, if you’re a web publisher trying to make money with AdSense, it’s now very hard.
If you’re so bold as to try to make a living off AdSense, it’s not downright IMPOSSIBLE unless you can make ends meet on a few hundred dollars a month, at most (if you live in your parents’ basement, it can happen but hey, not everybody enjoys such privileges).
Perhaps you have another idea why web publishers with better, more heavily circulated sites are seeing their revenue plunge in a seemingly bottomless abyss so you’re welcome to share your thoughts with us all.
In the meantime, if you want to make real money, please sign-up to get your own domain name and web hosting reselling store, online. It’s exactly what hundreds of millions of people are looking for and you’ll be the one collecting the moolah for years on end as people buy these services (or products) and keep renewing the forever.
Keep trying with AdSense if you feel like it but be aware that it’s just kiddie pocket change compared to operating your own online domain name reselling business (not to mention you’ll get your own domains at the “buy rate” — wow!) so don’t wait and join the major leagues!
If you’ve been making LESS money with Google AdSense, lately, it seems you’re not alone.
Savvy web publishers from across the web, in the US and across the world, have been feeling the heat since around February of 2009, after Google had integrated DoubleClicks’ inventory of “CPM” ads (which aren’t welcome with PPC publishers).
Nobody knows much about what goes on at Google but lots of informed observers have speculated that by integrating very low paying CPM ad campaigns in the pay-per-click zones, the revenues went from a potential 40 cents per click to something akin to 1/100th of a cent per display — which might explain part of the revenue landslide publishers are pointing to.
And it’s not just the banners ads…
Web publishers who feared the DoubleClick inventory integration thought that by turning off the banner ads in their AdSense preferences, they could evade the revenue massacre but that’s not the case because now, rumor has it that large advertising accounts can actually purchase text-based PPC ads using the CPM model.
In other words, web publishers now have to accept the CPM model even if it comes with revenues that can be hundreds of times smaller than regular PPC. And wether this is the reason or not for the revenue drop, the bottom line is that web publishers are making less money now than in 2007 or 2008.
2009 is such a bad year for Google AdSense publishers that some are questionning wether it will ever bounce back — less optimistic reviewers are announcing the fall of AdSense but that’s probably pushing it too far. AdSense is probably going through a phase but how long will that phase be? Are we talking months or years?
Allthewhile, Google is posting healthy profits. Nothing fancy but way beyond the kind of money web publishers are making (proportionately). Why are publishers seemingly the only ones getting hit by the revenue drop? Honestly, nobody knows… except Google, and they won’t tell.
So if you’re an AdSense publisher and you’re tired of being stress out to pay your rent or mortgage at the end of each month, try my domain name, web hosting and SSL certificates online reselling store, for a change. It’s 100% ready to go, completely self-updated and the live 24/7 customer support agents will even answer in YOUR NAME (like, “Hello, this is ‘Company ABC’. How may I help you?”).
AdSense will probably bounce back, at some point but can you afford to wait?
If you want money fast, keep you pay-per-click ads active BUT make sure to advertise your newly created web services store where all your customers will have the opportunity to buy what they crave to have: domain names, web hosting and all sorts of awesome services that assist web builders of all types.
If AdSense bounces back and you already have your online store running, then, you’ll have two sources of revenue making you richer. You can go wrong selling domain names and web hosting…
If you’re down and out of luck with Google AdSense, perhaps you can think up new ideas and launch your own company with the help of another branch of the Mountain View giant: Google Ventures.
That right, folks. Google has a venture capital branch where all sizes of “creative” companies can apply for financing.
Here’s the official bio…
Google Ventures seeks to discover and grow great companies – we believe in the power of entrepreneurs to do amazing things. We’re studying a broad range of industries, including consumer Internet, software, hardware, clean-tech, bio-tech and health care.
We invest anywhere from seed to mezzanine stage and embrace the challenge of helping young companies grow from the garage to global relevance.
Our team includes entrepreneurs, investors and innovators, along with some 20,000+ exceptional Googlers whose breadth of knowledge, experience and creativity constitute perhaps our own most valuable resource. You don’t have to be a potential Google acquisition for us to want to work with you; we’re out to build great companies, period.
Whew! Quite a pitch — it’s basically open to anyone for any project that’s remotely interesting.
In other words, you should send your idea even if every other venture cap firm turned you down because this outfit looks a lot more down to earth than the others.
Moving on, let’s look at the two managers’ short bio…
They look like fine young gentlemen and seriously, I’d trust them!
Their resumes must be akin to “brain candy” since they both have solid academic backgrounds. That means they’ll probably know what you’re talking about when you present them with your idea. Which is obviously very good. There’s nothing as bad as a “bland stare” when you’re pitching your “exciting new idea”… you want people like Bill and Rich who “get it”.
There are two offices — west coast and east coast. It’s like the Ivy League but for venture cap…
And for those living in the 21st Century, they also have an email address, which will probably come in handy.
I couldn’t find a list of companies they’ve invested in but I suspect there might be quite a few, given their apparent open mindedness.
All in all, this might just be the venture cap firm you’ve been waiting for so go ahead and share your knowledge with, in hope of being rewarded with money and fame.
