There are hundreds of thousands of websites on the Internet that are missing out on big money. With the emergence of the new Chitika eMiniMalls advertising company, these websites could be bringing in hundreds of dollars a day, and they dont even know it.
For years people have built websites around their passions, whether is was Mustang Cobras or food processors. These websites existed solely because the person that created them had a passion for that subject.
With the introduction of Chitika, these websites now have an opportunity to finally cash in from all of the selfless hard work that has been put into them. If theyve been around a while, they most likely have a decent amount of backlinks and indexed pages, which equates to more traffic.
Publishers shouldnt waste any longer registering at Chitika eMiniMalls (chitika.com). While waiting for approval, these publishers should visit publisher forums and learn as much as possible about ad placement, colors and how to select their products.
Of course, if their website is all about coffee cups, theyd be best off selecting items that relate to coffee cups! But they should also be willing to think outside of the box a little. Items such as coffee grinders, decorative spoons and even coffee makers could be potential money makers.
Once they are approved, they should waste no time getting their ads onto their sites. If theyve used a good blogging program or other CMS-type program, getting the ads to replicate throughout all the currently existing pages shouldnt be too much of a hassle.
If youve been publishing a website for a few years about a product or subject that youre passionate about, but you arent making anything off of it, its time for you to check out Chitika!

There must be 100 books (eBooks and otherwise) on how to cash in on Googles AdSense program. Many are what may be termed black hat ways to gain revenue. Black hat comes from the old western movies where the good guys had white hats and the bad guys, you guessed it, had black hats.
Interestingly enough, the guys making big bucks in AdSense dont stoop to those tactics. They dont need to.
So if you are looking here for a way to create a gimmick on a page to make people click an ad they would not normally, you wont find it. Thats against the Google AdSense Terms of Service.
But there must be ways to better your Click Through Rate, no
Lets look at a few things that have been proven to improve your chances.
I am blessed to live in Naples, Florida. A few days ago I walked to the beach (a few minutes from my front door), and took the picture of the fisherman.
Although its beautiful, the fisherman is frustrated. Several factors were working against him on this day without a bite. The biggest thing was the effect has had on our fish. To date, over have been taken to the local landfill.
So right off the bat, the content he is fishing in isnt good. In other words, yes, fish are out there, but they are being choked by the algae bloom. Nothing would interest them right now.
Next, I wandered over and asked what bait was he using. He said shrimp. Now shrimp can be good, and Im not expert on Gulf fishing, but he wasnt getting any bites at all. Might be time to spruce up the bait a little.
Well call proper bait the ad size and placement in our analogy.
Ive seen many fisherman at our pier fish for hours with shrimp and not catch a thing. My thinking is the fish just want something else. They are probably blinded by shrimp bait because everyone uses it.
But the biggest factor with our fisherman is that the overall content was absolutely deadly. The fish didnt want to be there and indeed, many were dying to get out.
So how can we get them to bite at your ads
First - Dont force the ads to look like ads. I have seen countless, and am sure you have, too; countless pages with Google AdSense ads that are the Google default. Remember that Google provides you with tools to make your AdSense look awesome. The best tip: blend the ads in with your page. Make them appear as an integral part of your site.Second - Use text ads and not image ads. Text blends better. Fish are blind to the same ol bait. We are blind to banner ads. Dont go there - your visitors certainly wont.
Third - and lastly for today, create awesome content. Dont give your visitors the red tide. Keep searching for content and make it of value. Some great sites offering free content are: ArticleCity.com, ValuableContent.com, and EzineArticles.com.
Enough for now. Work on making your ads blend with your pages. Concentrate on delivering great content. Thats what draws people to your site. And your AdSense Ads will reflect the content as well. Isnt that what you want
