I am only 18, so is my friend. We just started a business that transfers VHS To DVD's... this is the site if you care www.geocities.com/videos_dvds/page1 we just got in 500 business cards and have already made arrangements to advertise in a local newsletter, a local newspaper, and put are cards at the front of DAIRY QUEEN...... the newspaper and newsletter goes out to 60,000 people total. I WANT to get involved with adsense by google. You all speak so highly of it that I decided to give it a try. I signed up for adsense and this is what I understand it is... correct me if im wrong..... Business pay google to have their company advertised (lets say cameras) on googles main page as well as other peoples pages. When someone makes a relavent search to their company,, their advertisement shows up,,, the people advertising cameras pay google a certain amount of money everytime their advertisement is clicked,,,, that money is split between google... and the peopel that use adsense? Anyways what would u suggest i do to maximise profit through adsense for my company,, once i copy the code they give me to my site, will a lot of people find it? what can i do to promote it?
Commercial sites with Adsense are rather tacky. It's like you're saying "my services suck, so feel free to check my competitors instead". I'd focus on your business instead, unless you write a lot of informative pages on the topic, than it would be appropriate to insert adsense on those pages.
First I would defintely reccommding buying your own domain and hosting, looks way more professional. If the business cards have that domain printed on, just create a 301 re-directe to a new domain. To maximize profit, first build a professional site, then its all about targeting keywords, ranking high & traffic.
You need to get your own domain and webhost. No self-respecting e-commerce site should be hosted on a free service like Geocities. Once you slap your Adsense on that site, your page will be nothing but ads -- your ads, Geocities' ads, etc. The "secret" (and it's no secret) to making money with Adsense and just about anything on the net is traffic, traffic, traffic. You want as many eyes on your page as possible. More visitors = more chances they'll click on your ads = more money you'll make. To learn how to get traffic, you will need to learn SEO skills, webmastering skills, and all that good stuff. At this point, building up your site (on its own domain) should be your biggest concern. The ads and stuff can come later. When you have a site on your own domain, you can advertise your respectable site to potential customers to pay for your service.
One suggestion if I may: The way you write is ridiculous, not professional. Use proper spelling and 1 dot at a time, not 5 or 10 like ".......". If you want people to respect you and do business with you, conduct yourself in a proper manner.
Also, anyone with a computer can quite easily transfer analogue media to digital, and its reasonably cheap too.
I concur. If you have money for allt he advertising then first get your slef a domain name and hosting. As far as the adsense I'm not sure its best for a site on this topic. You may want to try some affiliate programs
First you have to get domain and hosting I never recommendation make a website with free hosting and domain cause sometimes your account can banned anytime
It would be interesting to know how the then-18 years old kid managed with web and adsense earnings, 3 years down the road.
Try to get local listing in Google, rather than adsense. Although I don't know what kind of keyword is appropriate.
