Hati-Hati dengan Click Fraud

Berhati-hati dengan click fraud, kecurangan klik dalam link PPC. Click Fraud adalah masalah besar dalam jaringan PPC, dan terjadi karena 2 hal:

  1. Competitor/pesaing, pemilik bisnis kadang mengklik iklan yang kedudukannya lebih tinggi dari mereka, dengan maksud mendapatkan posisi lebih tinggi dengan mendepak pesaingnya keluar dari arena – dengan alasan karena kehabisan dana iklan atau menakuti pemilik bisnis sampai akhirnya mereka menurunkan penawarannya.
  2. Site scamming the search engine, pemilik situs yang menjalankan AdWord dalam situsnya (melalui program Adsense), atau program distribusi PPC yang sama, terkadang mengklik sendiri iklan di situs mereka dengan maksud meningkatkan pendapatannya. Ini adalah masalah besar untuk kata kunci yang sangat mahal.
    Kadang klik ini datang secara manual, orangnya sendiri didepan computer dan mengklik iklan yang ada. Atau menggunakan program khusus untuk mengklik iklan tertentu.

Berapa besarkah kasus click fraud ini? Menuruti beberapa perkiraan, kecurangan terjadi pada kisaran 20 % dari semua klik untuk kategori iklan yang sangat kompetitif. Jadi bagaimana anda menyikapinya?

Pertama, perlu diingat bahwa hanya karena beberapa klik yang mungkin terjadi karena kecurangan, bukan berarti PPC tak dapat menguntungkan. Anda dapat mempertimbangkan kecurangan klik sebagai ongkos bisnis. Mungkin memang benar ada pengunjung sebenarnya yang mengklik iklan tapi tidak membeli bukan berarti mereka tidak berarti. Yang penting adalah perhitungan ROI-nya. Apakah ROI Anda sudah benar?

Tentu saja, di beberapa kasus click fraud menjadi masalah yang serius, sampai tidak bisa begitu saja diabaikan, dan membuat PPC total tidak mendatangkan keuntungan. Jadi bagaimana menghindari bahaya click fraud itu?

  1. Mengandalkan search engine, semua search engine mengklaim memiliki departemen antifraud, dan Google beberapa waktu ini menentutan orang-orang yang diklaim melakukan click fraud. Di sisi lain, problemnya sangat besar bagi pemasang iklan PPC untuk hanya mengandalkan search engine.
  2. Cek aktifitas diluar kebiasaan pada hit logs Anda, apabila Anda melihat tiba-tiba terjadi lonjakan trafik ke situs datang dari iklan, Anda mungkin menjadi korban dari click fraud.
  3. Mempertimbangkan untuk menggunakan detector fraud, apabila Anda memiliki budget PPC yang lebih, Anda harus serius untuk mempertimbangkan menggunakan perangkat deteksi kecurangan, terdapat beberapa macam seperti; ClickDetective, Click Defense, Click Risk, Clicklab, dan WhosClickingWho. Sistem ini akan mengarahkan Anda pada orang yang mengklik iklan Anda berulang kali, beberapa detector fraud mengklaim mampu mengidentifikasi ketika orang mengklik dalam satu atau dua kali seminggu.
  4. Jangan menawar untuk kata kunci yang sangat mahal, apabila kata kunci anda adalah $50 per klik, percayalah Anda adalah target utama untuk kecurangan! Apabila Anda harus menggunakan kata kunci ini, Anda harus menggunakan perangkat deteksi kecurangan.

Apabila Anda yakin Anda adalah target utama dari click fraud, hubungi jaringan PPC. Mereka akan mengembalikan uang pokok apabila Anda mendorong cukup keras dan meyakinkan mereka Anda benar-benar telah dicurangi.

Where?s the best place to put Google Adsense Ads?

by: Diane Nassy

Why, on your web pages of course. Ok, just kidding. The real question should be: ?Is there really any truth to the rumors that where you place those Google AdSense ads can actually improve response?? According to my best information, the answer to that question is: Yes.

Google?s own AdSense experts say that that there is a direct correlation between the placement of the AdSense ads and the resulting clickthrough.

When ads are placed in ?content zones?, rather than in ?advertising zones?, response rates on Google AdWords goes up. There are also indications showing that ads appearing on the right side of the page get clicked more than ads appearing on the left side.

Advertising analysts with degrees in human behavior and psychology have spent thousands of man-years (people-years?) studying how people read printed and Internet content and what it takes to get them to respond to ads. While some of these studies are proprietary, or are only available to anyone with $10,000 or more to spend on a copy, other studies have been made public and can be read by anyone who is interested.

Google themselves has released some relevant information which is focused directly on increasing your Google AdSense response. You can read their findings here (https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/static.py?page=tips.html).

Of course, all of the studies in the world aren?t worth a hill of beans if the findings don?t work on your web site. That?s why it is important to test, test and test again. Experiment with your Google AdSense placement and track the results over a period of time. Google provides response tracking tools in your AdSense control panel. Learn how to use them. As you begin to see what may be only subtle differences in response, you?ll be able to determine what works best for your particular site. But don?t get complacent. What?s working for you now might not work next month if you change your site design or content.

One of the most important factors in determining placement of your ads is the type of content that your site delivers. If you are primarily an e-commerce site, and you have a lot of pictures and ad copy for your own products competing for attention against AdSense ads, then it is going to be a particularly tough challenge getting any kind of decent Google AdSense clickthrough. It is situations like this that require very thorough testing and a lot of trial and error.

Blogs seem to have a lot of success generating high response rates to Google AdSense listings. Perhaps it?s because blog readers realize that ad revenue is the only way that their favorite blogmaster can keep the lights on, so the readers think of clicking on ads as a way to make a donation.

Regardless of what the experts say, your best bet is to tailor your Google AdSense ad placement to what your own experience shows works best for you. In the end, you?re the only expert who matters.

9 Google Adsense Tips To Make More Money Everyday

Do you want to make more money in your home business. If you sell stuff online one program that does pay pretty good, is easy to implement, and pays on time is Google Adsense.

In this article we will look at how to make more money than you currently are and how to do it with Google’s pay per click advertising program.

1. First of all you need to read the program policies and procedures. Google is very strict as to what they will and will not allow you to do when you are placing ads on your website. Be sure and do it right the first time and save you grief down the road.

2. Locate your ads in the hot spot of your website. This means above the fold and as close to the upper left hand corner as possible. The reason is very simple. To get people to click on your ads they need to be seen.

3. Use the rectangle 336 X 280 ad in your premium spot. This is the most popular ad and will earn you the most money.

4. To make more money everyday with Google you want to limit the number of Google Adsense ads to 3 or less per page. The more ads you have on a page the less they begin to pay. It benefits both you and Google to have the highest paying ads showing up on your page.

5. You want to blend your ads into the page. People have become blind to ads on the internet. They just do not care about them. By blending your ads into the page you’ve a better chance to get them clicked on. This may mean using a white border.

6. When you surf the internet what color are you used to seeing links. Blue! Keep your links blue and people will be more apt to naturally click on them because that is what they are clicking on all day long.

7. Google offers some really neat features for tracking and one of them is channels. If you have more than one ad unit per page, you can set up a channel for each unit. Again you are better off to stay at less than 3 ads per page. Channels let you know what ads are working best.

8. Check your stats periodically. You want to see your click through rate and your cost per click. By knowing how many visitors it takes to get a click and how much you are making per click you can decide if having a Google Ad on that page is worth it or not.

9. Make sure the ads that are coming up are relevant to the page. If not consider if you have content that is bad, or if your meta tags are set up wrong. Maybe even your header graphic has a bad alt tag.

Google Adsense is definitely one way to make more money everyday on the internet. If you do it right it can help your business as well.

Making money with Pay Per Click advertising is not just limited to Google. I wanted to quickly mention that many ppc companies have affiliate programs that pay you for placing ads on your site.

Some of the more popular ones include Bidvertiser, 7Search, SearchFeed, and Yahoo Marketing. Each one have their own rules and regulations so be sure and know them before you go placing ads on your site. Google themselves will not let you place similar ads on a page with their ads so be careful.

The fastest and easiest way to make money online is to get paid for a click. This article should give you some ideas on how to do that.

Lumpur Lapindo, antara Bencana dan Interpelasi

Lagi-lagi dagelan politik terjadi di Gedung Parlemen. Sidang Paripurna DPR kemarin yang awalnya dimaksudkan untuk menyampaikan rekomendasi soal jadi tidaknya status bencana lumpur Lapindo justru beralih menjadi interpelasi. Rupanya, anggota Dewan tak sepaham tentang keputusan yang telah diketok palu oleh pimpinan sidang itu.Dalam pertemuan Rabu (20/2) siang tadi, pimpinan rapat bersiteguh bahwa paripurna mengetok palu soal diperpanjangnya kerja tim pemantau kasus Lapindo. Namun sebagian anggota Dewan lain bersikeras agar kasus Lapindo dibawa ke interpelasi babak kedua.

Anggota tim pemantau penanggulangan lumpur Lapindo, Ade Daud Nasution, justru menyalahkan pimpinan sidang yang terlalu cepat menutup Rapat Paripurna. Sementara pengamat politik Arbi Sanit dan Menteri Pekerjaan Umum Djoko Kirmanto menilai hasil paripurna kemarin memang membingungkan.

BBM Dibatasi, Warga Diminta Tenang

Pemerintah mulai Juni mendatang akan membatasi pembelian premium dan solar bersubsidi untuk sepeda motor dan mobil. Sedangkan kendaraan umum masih disubsidi penuh. Menurut informasi yang didapat Rabu (13/2) menyebutkan, sepeda motor hanya boleh membeli premium dan solar bersubsidi 0,5 sampai satu liter, sedangkan mobil pribadi empat sampai lima liter tiap harinya.Sejumlah warga yang ditemui menanggapi beragam rencana tersebut. Sebagian warga setuju, namun ada juga yang tidak sepakat dengan kebijakan tersebut. “Pekerjaan saya muter-muter Jakarta. Kalau hanya satu liter, berat,” kata salah satu pengendara sepeda motor [baca: Smart Card, Kartu BBM Bersubsidi].

Direktur Utama Pertamina Ari H. Soemarno meminta masyarakat tenang karena perusahaan minyak negara itu akan berupaya agar program ini tidak menimbulkan dampak negatif bagi masyarakat seperti antrean dan kelangkaan. Pembatasan penggunaan premium dan solar bersubsidi ini adalah bagian dari rencana pemerintah untuk menghemat subsidi 10 triliun rupiah yang akan digunakan untuk menstabilkan harga sembilan bahan pokok.

Apa itu Google Adwords dan Google Adsense,

Sebelum mengenal lebih juga tentang Google Adsense, sedikit terlebih dahulu akan diulas Google Adwords yang merupakan cikal bakal kelahiran Google Adsense. Google Adwords adalah program periklanan yang ditawarkan google kepada para pemilik situs yang ingin mempromosikan situsnya, dengan cara menampilkan link situs pengiklan di hasil pencarian untuk kata kunci (keyword) tertentu.

Contoh : jika kita melakukan pencarian di google dengan kata kunci welding misalnya, maka selain hasil pencarian, di bagian seperempat di sebelah kanan akan muncul Sponsored Link / Pesan Sponsor.

Tentu saja, para pemasang iklan akan dikenakan sejumlah biaya tergantung dari kepopuleran kata kunci yang dipilihnya.

Namun Google menyadari, meskipun dia sekarang ini menjadi search engine nomor satu di dunia, tidak semua pengguna internet di dunia yang memakai google sebagai mesin pencari, sehingga iklan di google adwords, belum mampu menjangkau seluruh pengguna internet, oleh karena itu mereka menawarkan kepada pemilik situs untuk memasang iklan google adwords di situs mereka dengan pola bagi hasil yang disebut Google Adsense . Jika ada seseorang yang mengunjung situs peserta adsense dan mengklik iklan yang ada di situs tersebut, maka pemilik situs akan mendapat komisi dari google, metode pembayaran komisi seperti ini biasa disebut dengan nama pay per click (PPC).
