Google's NEW Ad Serving Solution - Ad Manager Limited Beta Launching

Only two days after their acquisition of DoubleClick, Google soft launched Ad Manager to address the issue that publishers could spare more quality time providing the best content, instead of managing their own ad space. Many publishers do a challenging effort to maintain and manage their inventory to make sure the campaigns are served on time.


Google Ad Manager is a free, hosted ad and inventory management tool that can help publishers sell, schedule, deliver and measure their directly-sold and network-based ad inventory.

Now publishers can have more time resources to work on their user's experience. They can achieve maximized results while reducing ad management efforts. In simple words, less time, more control, more money using Google Ad Manager.

So what does Ad Manager feature to support its words?

Some of its key features are:


Here are some questions from their FAQs may also popped out in your mind:

  1. Does Ad Manager require exclusivity? No. Ad Manager doesn't require exclusivity. You're free to use other ad management and ad serving products along with Google Ad Manager or switch to another provider at any time.
  2. Will I be restricted to AdSense as my ad network? No. You can use any ad network you like. With Google Ad Manager, you can optionally enable AdSense to deliver the best-paying ad source for each impression.

You may also asked, what's in it for Google? Well, since it's a free service, it's rather obvious they want to get more people join into their system. I don't mind that.

So, should you apply for Ad Manager? If you still manage your own ads because you have no problems doing so, go sign up and learn how ads are professionally managed to prepare yourself when your network becomes larger (this is your purpose, right?). And if you're now stirred with arranging your ad inventories which takes up half of your time in a day, you can hire someone to take over the job, or apply Ad Manager for free!

Starting An Online Business - Do You Need A Merchant Account?

Online Business And Payment Processing

Most small businesses assume they need a merchant account to accept credit card payments. The fact of the matter is a merchant account comes in handy when you want to boost sales and accept credit card payments. You don't however have to sell a product or set up a merchant account to make money on the Web. There are a number of different choices including affiliate marketing that can help you earn commissions and a paycheck when you are just starting out on the Web.

You could for example set up a site that providers users and visitors with information about certain products and services. You could then send them to one of your affiliates using affiliate marketing techniques and earn a commission on every sale made.

Why do this instead of setting up your own sales portal and merchant account business? For one you won't have to deal with testy customers, store inventory or figure out how to deal with payment processing problems. There are multiple different programs on the web that can meet just about anyone's needs and interests.

Other Payment Options

If you are committed to selling your own product you can set up a merchant account inexpensively and easily, you just have to shop around. Another alternative is accepting payments through a third party processor. While there are advantages and disadvantages to both, it pays to explore all of your options when starting out on the Web so you invest as little as possible but realize the highest possible rate of return.

Focus Versus Diversification in Your Online Opportunity

Which is the best direction to go when building up your online opportunity: focusing on a small niche or diversification? There are strong arguments for both sides of the coin and it can get pretty confusing because the decision you take will have a huge impact on the success or failure of your business.

There are those who strongly argue for diversification saying that with your finger in many pies, you will tend to considerably cut down your risks in case anything goes wrong. However on the other end of the spectrum are those who strongly support focus as the only way to succeed at anything. The rays of the sun are spread all over and are harmless in sharp contrast to a laser beam whose rays are much weaker that the sun's but because they focus, they become so powerful that they are able to cut through diamond.

It is best to reach our verdict based on success stories online and which particular policy seems to have worked best to transform opportunity into lucrative business.

In reality focus almost always seems to win the day.

When Sergey Brin and Larry Page were launching Google they focused on building the best search engine on the World Wide Web. They did this at a time when all other major companies like Yahoo! Who were involved in search were diversifying to supposedly maximize on their income and revenues. Today the figures speak for themselves because Google is much bigger than all the others. In fact there are more people using Google than those using all the other search engines put together.

There are countless other examples of how careful focusing on a tiny niche opened up an online opportunity beyond the wildest dreams of the founders. The truth is that the web is a huge place and failing to focus can easily cause you to disappear and drown in the ocean that is the web. Focusing on a tiny niche not only enables you to get an identity but also ensures that you dominate that particular niche.

Even when choosing which keywords to use for your site, it is best to focus your site on a single keyword phrase. The keyword should clearly define your narrow niche. This is in fact how you will succeed with search engines. Naturally you will sue plenty of synonyms and similar words to your single keyword phrase but they will all be closely linked to your main keyword phrase. Focus is powerful even in an online opportunity on the web.

7 Basics To Become Master Poster On Craigslist

I must say that Craigslist is one of the most challenging way of marketing on the internet. There are few factors that make me think this way. If you will start to post some ads on Craigslist, especially internet business you will have most likely 100% of your ads ghosted. What does it mean term "ghosted"? Basically it's when Craigslist tell you that your ad is live but unfortunately it's not listed in listing. As you see and you will experience all the time Craigslist is tricky. There are many factors that could bring your ad to be ghosted. Let's go step by step through basic checklist for not getting ghosted:


  1. Craigslist Accounts Or Mails
    You can't post on one acount to 10+ cities because Craigslist will automatically find your strange behaviour and ghost all your ads. I recommend 1 account or mail for 2,3 ads for safety.
  2. IP Address
    You can't also post a lot of ads using same ip addess. Change your ip every 5-10 posts, don't use public proxies because they don't work!
  3. Post Delay
    Posting ad one after another in 10-20 seconds also won't work. You have to post ads every 30 seconds to few minutes, depends how many craigslist accounts do u use or in which sections do you post and what kind of tactic do you use in your ads.
  4. Ad Headline And Body
    You have to be aware that Craigslist ban some words and phrases that are inside some spam ads, to find which one of words are in this blacklist simply test, test and test.
  5. Links, Images
    Basically you can't use your domain over and over again for links or images. I won't post more then 10 ads using the same domain for a link. Although it will still lately be burned, it will last longer.
  6. Section, City
    Each section, even city have different rules. You won't have any success until you will start to test your ads and find the best way for yourself.
  7. Unexpected Circumstances
    Sometimes Craigslist is doing something in some sections, changing site and no ads got through there. It happen often in job section in some cities. You can't do anything with it.

There are few rules you have to restrict to get listed in Craigslist. Of course it can vary for every section but I showed before some universal rules that should work in most cases. You have to stick on it and start testing, that's the best way to become master poster on Craigslist.
