Using Images Appropriately to Generate Adsense Income
Right off the bat we need to make a few things clear. If you are looking for a detailed description on what black hat SEO tactics are, you are in the wrong place. If you are new to SEO techniques and looking for an easy way to get started, look elsewhere. If you are hesitant about the morality of black hat search engine optimization then you need not read on any further. However, if you are serious about maximizing profit through pay per click techniques and generating income through Adsense, then the answers you are searching for are just a few minutes away. The key to your success is finding loopholes and avoiding certain techniques that have been proven to lead to failure when it comes to ad placement.
The use of images is a definite grey area when it comes to ad placement. Many black hat users have been ruined though improper use of images in their ads. While many people are set and truly believe that you cannot use images in your ads in any way, this is simply untrue. Google clearly states that you CAN use images in ad placement provided you stick to a few regulations;
-your images cannot relate to the ad in any way
-There must be an obvious and clear border between the image and the advertisement itself.
While many people feel that black hat techniques are sketchy and under handed, the truth is, with Google making slight regulations like this, they are asking you to find a way to work around the rules. Honestly, Adsense programs demand that you do not draw any unnecessary attention to your ad YET you are allowed to place images BESIDE your ad. Google has even tested programs that determine the success for images beside or above ads. This sort of information proves that placing images near your ads is quite safe. You just need to ensure that the images are not in DIRECT contact with the advertisement placement. Take advantage of this and experiment, you will find images that work and images that don’t. Just ensure you have a set border around your ad and you have found a foolproof way to avoid the regulations set forth by Google.
Now, many people have lost business and been warned by Google because ads have been randomly related to their ads, so you need to be careful when performing ad placement with images. The fact of the matter is, if you are warned, there is no real harm. Simply remove the image and move on to something else. There are no instant repercussions like some people may make you believe. If you are caught using an image that is to relatable, you will have more than enough time to change it and remove it before you risk any chance of being banned altogether. In order to make the best of Adsense opportunities you need to learn how to take advantage of technology that is available to you from Adsense. For starters, use JavaScript. This will allow you to obtain random images that won’t relate directly to your ad placement but will attract attention.
It has been determined that you cannot have direct attention pointing to your ad. You cannot use flashing signs or pointers that are directed at your ads, but there are ways around it. For example you can create a sort of logo image. Create a cartoon character image and make that character hold an object that points towards your ad. This is not a way to get flagged and does not directly point to your ad but it will force internet surfer’s eyes to drift to the placement of your ad. It will be too subtle to be noticed by the Google programs but is powerful enough to win you a couple of clicks and draw some attention.
The key to black hat success when it comes to Adsense is to take advantage of every grey area and every little opportunity. Remember that the rules that Google puts in place are almost meant to be broken and almost encouraged. Google would hate to hear me say it, but the company itself is actually the most successful black hat competitor of all time.
You can also take advantage of social network programs like Flickr to get access to random pictures and images without any copyright infringement. A technique that is quite successful is to use a random headshot of a person that you can find using Flickr. Place this picture next to or near your ad and play it off as if the person is the actual author of the article that is displayed on the webpage. However the image NEEDS to look professional or you will not be fooling anyone here. Place the image DIRECTLY beside your ads yet play it off as a completely indirect picture. If you create this image properly it will convey the message that your ad is in direct correspondence with the wishes of the article’s author. Users, who read the article and agree with the opinion within it, will take the author’s advice and click on your link, thus generating revenue for you through ad placement.
I will be the first to admit that using images with your ads is a risky business. You are not GUARANTEED to avoid repercussions from Google, but if you stick to the warnings and advice that I have given you previously, you are more than likely to not only be safe but to generate an incredible amount of income. Using images is thought by many to be an unreliable and dangerous way to generate pay per click income, but in reality it is extremely efficient. You need to remember that Google does have rules, limits and regulations in place but there is a reason they leave so much open to interpretation. While the company itself does want to be legitimate and remove most black hate SEO tactics, it does benefit just as much as you do through these tactics. All you need to do is learn how to take advantage of these loopholes, take the necessary precautions and prepare yourself to start maximizing profit in ways you never imagined possible through Adsense and ad placement.
BHTOW : Godaddy = BAD for SEO!
Okay, so I’ve been using Godaddy for 2 years now and always had a tough time getting indexed and getting better SERPs but I had this one blog that sky rocketed into fame and serious cash which I sold a month ago for some fast cash, that’s when I realised all the domains I had at Namecheap were getting indexed better, had better traffic, better serps…better everything. Maybe it’s because they have free privacy or it maybe because Godaddy is just way too whored now to be considered a place where someone with any uniqueness and self respect would by their domain from.
This is my Black Hat Tip of the Week!
Buy domains at Namecheap and you’ll see the difference.
Here are some reasons why I suggest Namecheap.
- I registered one domain for a proxy
- Got indexed overnight
- The domain was full of spammy keywords and still it worked
- With absolutely no effort, started getting traffic out of no where.
