I will not put the figures but the percentage only. You just have to calculate from my report last year ok

The above graph shows my AdSense earnings this year compared to last year. I may say that it triples my earnings this year in AdSense Alone. But if you will deduct the expenses for hosting at Dreamhost I may say that it is only a few dollar from my earnings. I was also able to do private Advertising thru forums and contacts in the industry. If I will sum it up ( including Peyd post , Which I already stop doing ) I can say that in this year I made 5 times on what I have last year.

It was a really great year for me and I am looking for another great year to come. I am now studying the ins and outs of Affiliate Marketing and I know I still have lots to learn. So If you want to know the details about it, just keep an eye in my Personal Blog because it is there where I will details the finding that I may find with Affiliate Marketing. Paypal ( Affiliate links ) helps a lot in doing Online Transaction because I am able to transfer payment from Paypal ( Affiliate links ) to my Citibank Credit Card.

I stop doing Peyd Post since I am having issues with my blog indexing and SEO Matters in this blog.

Always remember the saying don’t put the eggs in one basket. try to find other source of income and make your blog as an entrance to those things. Don’t be afraid to look for other niche, try to understand the system and later you will be able to understand it.

Upon checking my Adsense stats I found out that my CTR decrease to about 22%, This is mainly because of the Direct Advertisers but I was able to increase my daily earnings because mainly on blog traffic that I in my last post about 2008 Blogging Statistics.

Here is my statistics for this blog alone

Biggest earner is this blog, because of the Unique Visits and Regular readers that drive traffic to this blog. Thank You Guys. So watch out for my Blogging Goals for 2009.

So How will you know the Pages with lots of Visit from Search Engine ?

It is simple you just have to learn how you can track your visitors from Google Anaytics. I have made a post about Google Analytics function and how it can help you gain more visitors. You have to remember that those visitors will give you good earnings if your ads are properly placed.

After knowing those pages that gives lots of visitors from search engine you may now put the Google Adsense link codes that you made in Adsense site. You can directly paste it with in the post or you can use Adsense Ad Manager Plug-in ( I have not used this one for a long time ). It is up to you to decide.

What Size of Google Adsense Links ?

I use 180 x 90 with 4 links to display. Well you can experiment in your site on what will be the bet option.

Where to Put the Codes ?

Well it defends in your content, you can put it just after the title or your can float it in left or right, well it is up to you to decide. You have to make some experiments in order to get the highest CTR. ( Click Thru Rate ) from Google AdSense.

Assurance of Success

Well it works for me, and I think it might also work for you. I also think that since search engine visitors are looking for information, any links that they will see in your page that relates on his aim will be clicked.

I also have other Adsense and Basic Seo Tips that was posted a year ago.

Testing if it Works

You can record your Google adSense earning and stats today as you baseline or you can install click aider to know what part works best. But of course driving Google Adsense BOT only to your content will help to get a related ads for that particular post. You also have to take note the CTR of your new codes after a week. Having about 4% to 5% CTR is a good sign already but if you could make it higher it will be better.

In all your experiments you should always have a baseline so you know if your being successful or failure.

Probably one of the most talked about person today in Philippine Blogosphere is Mr. Jayce Perlas of Perlas and Luna PR Agency. Well to those of you who doesn’t know it yet, Mr. Jayce Perlas have angered a Tech Blogger ( Arpee ). It was an incident that happened in a product launch of a certain Electronic Product handled by Perlas and Luna.

I got the news upon browsing this Plurk page , You can also see other  Plurk page where other bloggers have expressed their concern about this incident. Well I do not know Mr Jayce Perlas or Arpee Lazaro personally but the way Arpee narrated the incident it seems that there are still some PR People who does not know what blogging is.

I think those PR people, more than anybody else in that event, should know how to be polite.

But to all of you , why don’t you try to Google “ Jayce Perlas “ or “ Perlas and Luna “. Search results will show you some bloggers who already blogged about the incident. { Perhaps it will not be good for them }

But of course to Mr. Jayce Perlas , You can always say your part. You can contact any of those bloggers thru contact page.

Lesson Learned : Try to be polite even to those who are wearing Jeans in an event.

Apple’s using NVIDIA’s new 9400M GPU + chipset 1-2 punch for integrated graphics, supplemented by 9600M GT switchable discreet graphics chip for heavy lifting, and pumping out those graphics over a Mini DisplayPort connector, if you’d like to supplement the LED backlit screen. As expected there’s an SSD option, with drive accessible underneath the battery. The 15.4-inch base model retails for $1999, with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of DDR3 RAM and both GPUs.

I have been implementing the Asia Century Multi Advertising Affiliate program and I would like to have an in depth analysis on my earnings for this local ads that I have start implemented in this blog since July 10,2008.

I will have an assumption that if I use AdSense I will have an approximate CPC [ Cost per Click ] of $ 0.04 which in reality ranges from 0.02 to 0.06 or even better. But for the sake of calculation I will use $0.04

Facts about my account with with Asia Century Multi Advertising

Implementation Period = July 10 – August 5

Page Impression – 55,000

CTR 1.22 %

55,000 x 1.22% = 679 Clicks

By Calculation I would like to use my assumption above using the data I gathered from my Advertising period as follows

679 Clicks X $ 0.04 = $ 26.84 x Php 44 / US$ = PHP 1,180.00

Comparing to the above mentioned Assumption I have a total Php 92.5 amount in my Account with them with 137 approved , 10 Leads which is approximately 7.8% of the assumed calculated cost above.And if I used the approved one I will have as follows

137 Clicks X $ 0.04 = $ 5.48 x Php 44 / US$ = PHP 241.12

Where the Approved Amount is almost 38.34 % of the assumed AdSense Clicks. 

Suggestion :

1. It would be great if they could make a contact page where we as publisher could ask question about our earnings. ( Have you found their Contact Page ? )
2. They need to explain why the Clicks are not matching with the Approved Paid Clicks
3. It would be great if they can make their CPC cost higher. At the moment they only have about PHP 0.5 to PHP 0.6 ( $ 0.011 – $ 0.014 ) compared to Google AdSense which can give an average of $ 0.05 according to some experts
4. They have to make other option in Payment aside from Check, Perhaps they can make Globe G Cash or Smart Money or via PayPal.

Conclusion :

I can only conclude for this site and not for all blogs. For this site I believed I have to remove those ads and consider looking for some other opportunity with Direct Ads or Affiliate Marketing thru Market Leverage, Pepperjam or CJ where I might have a better earning opportunity. Asia Century Multi Advertising might be better for other site but not on this site. Their Ads might not be contextually relevant with my niche that is why I am having lots of Click not Approved.

My AdSense Dashboard still does not show those option but I know soon it will be implemented to all.

Now I have to work it out to get more Feeds Subscriber. BTW Blogging Idol is still on going. But I believe putting Codes to Guide AdSense is still necessary.

I have been using AdSense Thru Feed burner but it seems it is not driving dollars to my account. Let me try this as soon as it is available in my AdSense Dashboard.

Did you see this new feature in your Dashboard ? And what is the result ?

Update : Please see updated information on renewing E-Passport in Riyadh Saudi Arabia

I saw it in the news [ Tv Patrol ] that Philippines is now going to release the epassport which can be used in having any travel visa in any part of the world.

The news said :

Beginning December, the Department of Foreign Affairs Consular Affairs will issue epassport to comply with the standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization.

The epassport was launched during the 110th Founding Anniversary of the department.

Consular Affairs Assistant Secretary Domingo Lucenario said a French company, Francois Charles Oberthur, won the bidding for the epassport conducted by the Bangko Sentral. Fourteen companies  participated in the bidding.

He said Francois is the same company responsible for the epassport in Belgium, the first country in the world to comply with the ICAO standard.

The epassport has a chip where the security features and personal data of the holder are stored making it difficult for syndicates to commit passport fraud.

As what I have seen in the news the passport will contain electronic information of the passport holder. We don’t have to bring pictures during renewal since DFA will use camera in order to save it in their database and to be embedded in the chips.

So Filipinos will be able to proved that their passport are also high tech

This passport will be used for Travel Visa and Visa Application to any part of the World. They said that thru this method it will now be hard for crooks to use somebody passport.

I just hope that it will not increase payments of Passport or it will be an extra burden for OFW workers.

So after 3 years I will have to renew my passport and get mine Mabuhay Philippines.
