Top 4 Reasons Google Key Factor In Silicon Valley


Google’s financial health is a key driving factor in Internet and Silicon Valley-

  1. If Google is strong and keep buying companies, venture capitalists will keep funding new and existing startups.
  2. If Google and others slow acquisition activity, venture dollars will dry up too.
  3. Citi analyst Mark Mahaney, who’s targeting Google stock at $590, thinks Google is in a good position to weather a storm: “GOOG is the market share leader – and is gaining share – in arguably the most dynamic part of Internet advertising – search, which appears to be less impacted by the current macro economic environment,”
  4. So keep hoping people all over the world continue to click on those Google search ads - your startup or company may depend on it.
For Adsense publishers maybe it is time to review other alternatives to Google Adsense, read our review below about Clickbank Ad Rotator. We have started using this in lieu of Adsense we make $ instead of pennies.


Read the entire story at TechCrunch....

As you know multiple streams of income are an integral part of Internet Marketing. If it were not for auto pilot earnings we would not make half as much from the Internet as we do today. Systems that earn affiliate incomes and paid advertising commissions contribute to a large percentage of our monthly income.

One of these sources of advertising commissions is Google’s AdSense program. BTW, this email is not about Google’s AdSense program! Far from it in fact, this email is about the fact that we are all losing a huge amount of revenue because of AdSense.

When was the last time you earned over $1 for a 1 click from your paid ads? When was the last time you looked at your website ads and found Googles AdSense target ads displaying something completely irrelevant to your website content? Every day, I find these big problems to my business and most importantly my business earnings which I use to support my family. So ask me “Do you have the right to complain?” Yes I do! Just because Google is the largest search engine provider in the world, does not mean they have the best advertising and commission structure for paid ads does it.

When I first started out to become an Internet Marketer, I got stuck right into Googles' AdSense program and I did ok, but over the years my AdSense earnings have slowly dwindled and I hardly find it worth it anymore.

Now don’t get me wrong here, there are merketers who make great income from AdSense I have seen it personally, there have been times when I have checked my account and made over $20 in one day from AdSense so the bottom line is the AdSense program does work and does earn you money. However, I do think it could be better.....

This is what bring me to ClickBank Ad Rotator .
Now CB Ad Rotator does the same job as AdSense with some excellent improvements:

1. You have no threshold of $100 to reach before payment, this means the new guys get paid after one click led sale.

2. Your commissions are a lot higher, than AdSense meaning you get paid a lot more for sales i.e. ClickBank products worth anywhere up $297.00 with up to 75% commissions on some products. This as you know is the highest payments possible, but if you take the average product at say $47 with the average commission 55%, this is still $25.85 commission from one click.

3. You can choose your exact targeted ads with your own key words, this is not run by scanning content and producing as which sometimes are not relevant. All ads are relevant to your website.

4. Easy to setup guides in the form of email and video tutorials.

5. You can even run the two ad programs side by side. Why have one automated income when you can have two.

These are just some of the excellent feature you can utilize to push your business further....

‘DID YOU WANT PROOF’

Take a look at ClickBank Ad Rotator for a comparison table and real screen shots of a weeks earning from both paid ad systems. You will then see the truth.

Remember CB Ad Rotator is not a replacement for AdSense, the two can run side by side. If you are looking for an extra form of income on complete auto pilot from your visitors, then this is paramount to your website success. If your AdSense empire come crashing down from a banned account then this is your salvation too.

ClickBank Ad Rotator The future of commission based ads is here! Seriously, from one online marketer to another, this is a no brainer and another auto pilot income stream worth buying.

Thanks for reading...

50 Ways to Take Your Blog to the Next Level

I/We use blogging as a way "get the word out" on the new items at our 450 websites and sometimes we happen to add something useful our readers can really use.

If you blog, then you should read Chris Brogan's 50 Ways. The link is below for you also.

Blogging is as varied in its applications as using the telephone or taking a picture. The tool doesn’t predict the output. You might be using your blog to post recipes, or to inform the local community about information you find elsewhere on the web. Maybe you’re just trying your hand at writing, and the web is as good a place as any.

If you’re looking to go beyond that, however, you’ll need to take steps to improve your blog from at least five different perspectives. In 50 Ways to Take Your Blog to the Next Level, I wanted to share my thoughts on how you should consider your goal, your design, your content, how you promote it, and the business aspects of your blog. Please add to these ideas in the comments, and let’s grow the list out.
