<p>What do you do when Google stops your ads?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you have ever been on YouTube which if you're into websites then you have, you may have been checking out making money with Google Adsense or you want to be a YoutTube partner.  You more than likely came across someone that got booted from Adsense.  It makes you think.  Could this happen to me?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How Google determines invalid clicks:</p>
<p><iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_2fsFfP3pp4?rel=0&wmode=opaque" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scenario 1</p>
<p>So you're doing great and things start to take off perfectly.  People are visiting your website and clicking your ads.  1 click, 3 click, and before you know it you're getting 100 clicks a day.  People are enjoying your website and then there comes the one person who hates your site.  It's going to happen, not everyone agrees with what you have to say or what you're selling.  So they're sitting there with nothing to do but build their hate toward you and your site and it hits them.  "I know what I can do!!", click, click, click, click.  It's called being click bombed.  They click your ads over and over and Google de-activiates your account to protect their advertisers.  If you put all of your eggs in one basket you're going to be hurting really quick!   You can try to get it reversed but not many people do.  If they do it takes days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scenario 2</p>
<p>You're using a network that allows ads to be placed on your site and BOOM! your ads stop showing up.  I've had it happen.  Sure, they're going to fix it but it's going to take a few days and you really need the money coming in from your traffic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well, there is an alternative.  It's called AdBrite.  AdBrite is very similiar to Google Adsense and the great thing is if other people join under your account you can earn additional revenue on what they earn for several months.  </p>
<p>The main difference with AdBrite is you choose categories for ads to show on your site instead of Google controlling what shows up.  Your members can also click below the ad and choose to advertise on your site directly according to their plan.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>What AdBrite does is they allow their advertisers to choose the sites they post their ads on and they can search for your site and match their budget to the amount of traffic they are trying to get.  When you are the advertiser you can see the average page view, impressions, and unique visitors the site gets.  This is a great way to get loyal advertising to your network/website.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you're doing this internet marketing thing to make money you will want to have a few options and pick which ones work best for you.  </p>

</div>Managing Ads on your Network using DFP Small Business (formerly known as Google Ad Manager)https://creators.ning.com/blogs/managing-ads-on-your-network2011-01-30T19:47:37.000Z2011-01-30T19:47:37.000ZManny Hernandezhttps://creators.ning.com/members/MannyHernandez<div><p>A little over a year ago, we used a service called Open X on TuDiabetes.org and EsTuDiabetes.org, to serve our ads until we found ourselves talking to nobody when faced with a tech issue that resulted in no ads getting served. At that point, I decided to try <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/admanager/">Google Ad Manager</a>, a free service that does the same thing (help you manage ads) as a hosted service by Google.</p>
<p>More than a year later (now it's called DFP Small Business, but it is essentially the same service), we continue to be very happy with the platform. It lets you manage multiple orders for multiple clients over multiple inventory locations. This is ideal for us, having two networks to manage ads on and typically having multiple campaigns under way.</p>
<p>The ability to manage an order includes start and end times, % of impressions and targeting by geography, language, browser, domains and much more. Also, their reporting capabilities are as solid as the rest of the Google products you may be used to, which is advantageous to you and to your clients.</p>
<p>All in all, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.google.com/dfp" target="_blank">DFP</a> has become a solution that seems to meet all our needs and has been reliable in its delivery of ads since we adopted it.</p>

</div>Explain your network search system to membershttps://creators.ning.com/blogs/explain-your-network-search2010-02-20T14:26:45.000Z2010-02-20T14:26:45.000ZPeter Matthewshttps://creators.ning.com/members/PeterMatthews<div><p>Recently I have worried a lot about the network search system on my Ning network.<br />
<br />
We have technical problems that may be inherent to all social networks, not just our Ning networks. The technology for searching inside networks that have new information added continuously is not very advanced, and this is general, not just at Ning.<br />
<br />
So now I have written a blog post trying to explain -- in simple language -- how the search system works on a Ning network, for the benefit of my members.<br />
<br />
See:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://cooperative.ning.com/profiles/blogs/our-website-search-system">http://cooperative.ning.com/profiles/blogs/our-website-search-system</a><br />
<br />
I have also described a couple of alternatives to using the Ning search (which I like very much, when it works).<br />
<br />
I would be happy if other Network Creators can adapt my explanation to their own situation. And I would be happy for any advice on how to improve the explanation I have given.<br />
<br />
Thanks, Peter<br />
