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.

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.

Googleconverts already-existing links to your site into much higher quality links, for free

I can’t believe a new feature from Google isn’t getting more notice, because it converts already-existing links to your site into much higher quality links, for free. The Google webmaster blog just announced that you can find the pages that link to 404 pages on your site.

Let me back up and give you a little history. When someone comes to your site’s webserver and asks for a page that doesn’t exist, like http://www.mattcutts.com/asdfasdfasdf , most web servers are configured to return an HTTP status code of 404, which means that the page was “Not Found.” If someone links to a page on your site that doesn’t exist, most webservers give a pretty sucky experience: visitors usually land on a pretty useless page, and search engines might not give you full credit for those 404 errors.

Now Google’s webmaster portal lets you see who is linking to your 404 pages. Once you register your site, click on Diagnostics, then Web crawl, and select “Not found”. You’ll see something like this:

Google: Our Yahoo Deal Won't Raise Search Ad Prices (That Much)

Silicon Alley Reporter disagrees...

Google is firing back at the idea that its search ad deal with Yahoo will lead to higher search ad prices -- the heart of the antitrust opposition the deal now faces in D.C., in the States, and in Europe.
Specifically, in a blog post, Google chief economist Hal Varian targeted some July research from online ad agency SearchIgnite that claimed that the deal would lead to 22% higher keyword prices on Yahoo! Varian:
After taking a close look at the study, I believe it makes several flawed assumptions and uses questionable methodology. The paper suggests that advertisers will be getting the same performance from the same ads, just at higher prices. We believe that advertisers will be getting significantly better performance at prices that reflect that improved performance.

Top 3 Ways to Keep Your Phone Numbers for Life

NumberGarage.com's solution may seem basic, that is the intent of the company – to solve a common problem with a straight-forward solution.

NumberGarage.com was formed so consumers could hold onto their phone numbers for life – even if they need to end service on a line. Here’s a couple examples of why you might use NumberGarage:

1. Let’s say you move cities and decide/need to get a new, local cell phone number. You can subscribe to NumberGarage (for a nominal monthly fee) and NumberGarage will store your old phone number and forward all calls made to that number to your new phone. NumberGarage lets you keep a phone number even if you cancel your phone line or service. This way, you don’t need to update all of your old contacts of your new number – they dial the number they know and the call is forwarded to you.
2. Or, maybe you want to stop paying for your landline, but don’t want to loose those incoming calls. You can use NumberGarage to “cut the cord” – without loosing any contacts as landline calls are forwarded to your cell line. Landline operators don’t offer this kind of forwarding service.
3. Or, maybe you need to temporarily move out of your home to do a remodeling project. Landline operators do not offer a solution for short-term number porting. Again, you can subscribe to NumberGarage to have your home calls forwarded to another number, such as your office line or work number.

How do they Do It?

The technology used in porting a telephone number is Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). NumberGarage is the brainchild of the CEO of Freedom Communications, and an entrepreneurial friend of his from childhood. They are leveraging the company’s VoIP services to “Park” a number or “Forward” for call forwarding.
