TOPIC: Stick 'em up!

http://groups.google.com/group/Inside-AdSense/browse_thread/thread/9af7412ff02d140d?hl=en

If you're well versed in webspeak, you're probably familiar with the
concept of stickiness -- the quality that entices web users to stick
around a given site. Here at AdSense, we're down with the web version
of stickiness, but we've got a different kind of adhesive in mind: the
kind that lets you take the AdSense logo a-go-go.That's right, we're
talking stickers.We've printed up a batch of AdSense stickers, and we'd
be delighted to send one or two your way, wherever you are in the
world. The stickers are designed for laptops, but they'll work just as
well for placement on mugs, skateboards, or temporarily on a shirt.
(Note: turning a pal into a walking Google ad without their knowledge
is not recommended.)So how do you get one of these glue-backed
masterpieces? Easy: send us a self-addressed, stamped envelope with
enough postage to return 1 oz of sticker goodness to you from our
office in California via standard U.S. mail. (Sorry, we can't help you
calculate the postage to your location). Send your envelope, along with
a note if you'd like, to:Google AdSensec/o Arlene Lee1600 Amphitheatre
ParkwayMountain View, CA 94043USASupplies are limited, so send your
envelope soon! Then you can stick with AdSense wherever you go. (And
one last thing to keep in mind: while we're flattered that you might
want a whole box, note that we're only able to provide one or two per
publisher.)Posted by Julie Beckmann - AdSense Publisher Support

TOPIC: PIN without the pain
http://groups.google.com/group/Inside-AdSense/browse_thread/thread/41269c8aeb1c9f5c?hl=en

As you may know, we'll send you a Personal Identification Number (PIN)
by standard mail when your account first reaches $10 in earnings. This
PIN is used to help verify publisher accounts and addresses for
security purposes. We often receive messages from publishers concerned
about what to look for in the mail, and when they can expect to
receive it. In response, we've created the short video below which we
hope will help address these issues. It might not be a Hollywood
production but hey...even the greats started small ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZJVcQw0c-E

If you don't receive your first PIN, you can still request up to two
more by following the directions at

https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=14838

Please note that aside from verifying your PIN, other holds may
apply to your account -- you'll need to remove all holds and generate
$100 in earnings before a payment can take place.

TOPIC: Terms and Conditions clarification

http://groups.google.com/group/Inside-AdSense/browse_thread/thread/585d24526adde976?hl=en

Since updating our Terms and Conditions a few weeks ago, we've received
a number of questions related to the new privacy policy and the display
language within accounts. We'd like to address those two areas below --
but please keep in mind that as with any legal terms, you may consider
consulting legal counsel if you have law-related questions about our
Terms and Conditions.Privacy policyUnfortunately, we can't suggest any
privacy policy language for your specific site, as all sites are set up
differently and laws may vary across different countries. You might
want to review online resources such as the Network Advertising
Initiative (NAI), which suggests language for data collection of
non-personally identifying information such as:We use third-party
advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These
companies may use information (not including your name, address email
address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web
sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of
interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice
and to know your choices about not having this information used by
these companies, click here.Further examples can be found in Appendix A
of the NAI Self-Regulatory principles for publishers (PDF). Display
languageAt this time, the Terms and Conditions are only available in
one language per country -- whatever is determined as the legally
binding language. As such, you might see that the Terms and Conditions
are displayed in a language different from your Google interface.You
can read our updated Terms and Conditions in a different language, but
please keep in mind that the Terms will vary according to the country
or territory of your payment address. If you select a different
country, the Terms and Conditions you see may not be identical to those
appearing in your AdSense account, and therefore may not apply to you.

TOPIC: Building with AdSense

Date: Mon, Mar 3 2008 11:04 am
From: Inside AdSense


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoZ9eFuIMzQ

When Les Kenny and his family launched their do-it-yourself (D.I.Y.)
website www.buildeazy.com in 2001 solely as a hobby site, they had no
idea of the impact Google AdSense would have on their lives.

Les had spent most of his life building in both Sydney and Auckland,
but his hobby was designing projects and writing about them. This
inevitably led to the Buildeazy website, where he posts D.I.Y.
woodworking and building projects. He caters to a universal audience
by using general terminology and incorporating both metric (mm) and
imperial (ft and inch) measurements into all his projects. Les and
daughter Roseanne also wrote two successful kids D.I.Y. books
published in Australasia. They had intended to write more books, but
AdSense proved to be more lucrative.

In early 2004, Les incorporated AdSense into his website. Around March
2005, to his amazement, optimisation of the AdSense ad units
throughout the site doubled the earnings overnight. The income from
AdSense allowed both Les and his wife Jenny to give up their day jobs
and work solely on their passions and hobbies. It has also allowed all
of the family to get involved.

Les has spent a lot of time experimenting with his ad layout and
colour, making use of the Manage Ads feature and custom channels. He
found that the 300x250 medium rectangle was overwhelmingly the best
performing. Using custom channels, he was also able to remove some
units which weren't performing as strongly to reduce clutter on his
site.

"Most of my pages now consist of only two ad units -a 300x250 medium
rectangle at the top of the page and a 336x280 large rectangle at the
bottom of the page. I have found that a couple of well placed ads on a
page do better than a cluster of ads all over the page - and I guess
it is also more pleasing for the visitors."

Once the AdSense units are placed and optimised, everything takes care
of itself -- leaving Les and family to get on with what they enjoy
most.

A few weeks ago we posted the winner of the AdSense Story Contest, and
as promised, here are a few more of the stories and video submissions
we received. This one comes from AdSense publisher Amit Agarwal of
Agra, India.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSN0ywpVLzI

Amit is a professional blogger and personal technology columnist for
the Financial Express and The Hindustan Times. He maintains a
technology blog called Digital Inspiration, which draws readers from
all over the globe and covers software reviews, web technologies, and
social media. His latest venture, India Inc., carries news and
analysis about business and finance. Amit also runs a message board
where he personally answers reader questions on blogging, online
monetization and software.

In the early days, Amit was only making a few cents on Digital
Inspiration. After optimizing the site, however, his revenue went
through the roof. Now AdSense helps Amit lead a very comfortable life.
Amit says, "I have tried a couple of other advertising programs on my
website, but none of them have been so successful as AdSense. That's
because AdSense contextual ads are always so relevant to the content."

Amit has also found success with several other AdSense products and
features. He currently uses referrals to recommend software to his
readers, and has implemented link units to efficiently use space on
his site. He also uses the Google Custom Search Engine, linked to his
AdSense for search account, and so is able to monetize his search
results while helping visitors navigate through his site's pages with
greater control. As he notes, "Currently 75% of my site revenue comes
through the Google AdSense program. And I get more time to focus on
writing new content for my readers rather than hunting for
advertisers. AdSense has helped change my life forever."

We'd like to welcome Thai as the newest language to join the AdSense
for search family. If you manage a site primarily in Thai, you can now
offer Google search results directly on your pages and monetize the
results pages. Don't have an account yet? Feel free to submit an
application today.Here are some fun facts about Thailand to celebrate
this launch:
- The full given name of Bangkok, Thailand's capital city, is "Krung
Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop
Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman
Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit". The city's full name is
listed as the world's longest place name in the Guinness Book of World
Records.
- The Thai greeting is known as the "wai", which involves bringing the
palms together and raising them to a level between the chest and
forehead. The higher the hands are held, the more respect is being
shown by the greeter.
- The island of Ko Samui is known for producing the most types of
coconut palm in the world. In addition, it was mentioned in the 2000
comedy Meet the Parents. Posted by Patcharin Areewong - AdSense Thai
