Today I found something that is weird on my Google Adsense.
Can you see what the white arrow pointing to? Yes, that is the weird images or characters or arrows or anything that you want to call it. I was too curious and I hover my cursor on one of the arrows and the colour changed. I assumed it might be another new feature that Google put onto my adsense. Then I clicked it.
Today I got an invitation email from GrabMyAds. But hey, what is GrabMyAds? Then I clicked on the link and it sent me to GrabMyAds website.
GrabMyAds - Helping bloggers earn better and easier is another advertising company based in Malaysia. They just launched their service on 21st November 2007. It is still new but not sure how new it really is (read my post below). So we have three advertising companies in Malaysia — GrabMyAds, Nuffnang and Advertlets. So what makes GrabMyAds is different than the others?
Hurm…I don’t see any clear differences between three of them but what I can say is, GrabMyAds target blogs as their main customer. There is no traffic qualification needed. Even you have zero visit per day you still can participate in this advertising programme. They also will give you real time statistics and detailed reports about your blogs after you put their script into your blog.
I’m not the expert in Adsense but I would like to share my experience and knowledge about how you can increase your Adsense earnings. I’m sure many of you already know what is Adsense. Adsense is a way for you as the publishers to earn money from your site. As for the advertisers, you can get more traffics to your website by using the advertising programme from Adsense. It is a win-win situation. Ok, let’s go to the main point of this article, 5 tips to increase Adsense earnings .
The first time I got accepted into Google Adsense programme, I was so excited because I know that I can start making big money from it. But I was wrong. By get accepted into Adsense does not mean you can earn the money easily. The money that I got for the first five months were very low. It was about $2 or $3 per month. But after I read articles, do some experiments, asked opinions from Adsense experts other Adsense users, I end with these tips. And these tips have increase my Adsense earnings.
1. Use large ad size - First what I did to my site was, I use large ad size. The theory is simple. The bigger the size, the higher chances the visitors will click the ads. Large ad size serves more ads (3 or 4 ads per ad unit) and it gives more choices for visitors to click.
2. Place above the article - Next, put the ad unit above the article. As you can see on my website, the ad is placed above the article, below the title. So far, this is the best place if you want to place your Adsense ad. My CTR has increased since I put the large rectangle ad on that place.
3. Choose same colour - Third, make sure that your ad scheme colour is same with your website scheme. The ad background colour should be the same with your website background colour. This implies to the link and the text. Some readers might thought that they are links from your site and not ads. So your chance to earn more money will increase.

What is Text Link Ads? Text Link Ads or TLA in short is a service that gives good benefits to publishers and advertisers. For the publishers, they can earn money from their website by selling text link ads. The price is depends on the PR, Alexa rank, the link placement and some other criteria. Beside than that, you also can earn more money by asking other peoples or your friends to join TLA.
For advertisers, they can buy links directly from TLA. TLA listed down websites that sell links and advertisers can choose which websites that they want to advertise. By buying links, the advertisers can increase their PR and even can increase the visitors. That is why they don’t mind to cash out some money to buy links. But don’t forget if you want to buy links in this month, enter “holidays” into the coupon code to get 15% discount.
I got an email today from Text Link Ads regarding their new affiliate URLs. In that email they stated that TLA has begun using TinyURL service to shorten and secure their affiliate links.
I’m not sure what kind of mechanism TinyURL uses to secure the affiliate links. As far as I know, TinyURL is use to hide and shorten the URLs only but not to secure them. But I need to replace all of my TLA affiliate links that I use on my website to the new URL. I have to do this because after one week from now, the old TLA affiliate link will not work anymore.

After joining FeedBurner Network months ago, I have make some money from the Ad Revenue Share. At first, my website was only has low feed subscribers. But after I did some advertising at some popular websites (some of you may noticed it 
) the feed subscriber number has increased.

Like Hong Kiat, I also very excited to see this new advertiser campaigns by Nuffnang (more about Nuffnang). Starting from this Sunday, Nuffnang will launching Cost Per Click (CPC) and Cost Per Action (CPA) campaigns.
The payout range for a click is between RM0.50 - RM5.00. And I think, bloggers will love to hear this great news because at least they will get a RM0.50 from Nuffnang. 
I have put Advertlets code on the sidebar about 2 weeks ago. But till now there is no ads serve by Adverlets. Ho3. Only the site poll is use to get my site statistics as I don’t have any advertisers yet. Currently 77 peoples had answered the poll. I must say thank you to them. 
But my other friends who are also bloggers had earn some money from Advertlets. Some of them had earn RM180 which I think it is much enough to cover their hosting and domain cost.
Advertlets is another Malaysian company and was developed by Josh Lim & Associates. Josh Lim & Associates have work for 30 days in digital marketing and give most relavent ads for Malaysian bloggers.
You can register yourself at Advertlets register page. After register, put the code in your website and wait to get your money.
