I love Google and who does not?!

For the first time I am seeing a different layout by google in the sponsored links area, that not millions will get a chance to see. I am stunned today - to see their “Skills” against adbrite.

Similar to adsense, I was looking other advertiser’s marketplace such as Overture, Adbrite, etc.,. And this is what happened, below is the screen shot when I search for adsense in google.com

and this one for Overture search in google

Oh wait until you see this one, for adbrite

Note that arrow mark that I had kept, you see Google image (I just checked after finishing this post - the image file name says ornaments) These searches where done in the same time and for the rest of the searches it was a vertical line and only for adbrite the vertical image changes to ornaments image to grab the visitor attention.

So what happens with this NEW change in the right hand side? people click on the Sponsored links and “Adbrite pays money” to Google!! Wow!!!

I guess Adbrite and other people who are listed there can Sue google for this.

This is search word, maybe its still like that - you can check it yourself

Google stunt on Adbrite keyword

I will be very glad, if somebody proves me wrong. This is first time I had seen a different UI (user interface) in google and surprised on this monopoly game!!!

If you empathize with me, then I guess “Money clashes all principles a company might have”.

Update around 11pm
Ok, I just saw this post as well http://www.handsomelogic.com/blog/pay-per-click-ppc/google-showing-christmas-ornaments-next-to-sponsored-links/.

Google changes their main logo during holiday season, but changing the vertical line to be of ornaments likely will get attention of users on the sponsored links. This could be no harm as the sponsored links shows up in first place to be clicked by google users - but in our case the first result link (organic search) is adbrite and the first link in the sponsored links area is also adbrite. But the only question is does the image diverts user to focus more on sponsored links area? or why it is that only certain keywords gets the ornament treatment?

1. It’s all started here Why pagerank is 0.

2. Then there was Canonicalization problem in msn and other search engines for http://www.pagerank0.com/ and http://pagerank0.com/. And that was fixed.

The above was taken long back (pagerank0 labs), which shows the domain as pagerank0.com

And for http://www.pagerank0.com/ there was only one listing.

3. For keywords pagerank, page rank and adsense got listed in Related Blog Search in google.

For adsense

4. Got #1 rank for various critical search keywords.

5. Got Good contacts and was able to establish business with clients for SEO Related work.

6. Sold some of my other websites (good ROI) after a successful and smart white hat SEO.

And much more happened..Thanks to all visitors who kept this site live and running.

Oh yes, its Pagerank 0’s first birthday!!

Earlier I included adsense in few of my web site domains and discussed about it in this post: Adsense.

As of today, the amount generated by Adsense in my web-sites is $101.69. This to me is good now, as at this point of time nothing much happened in those sites. This money was with the existing traffic and content. Though I am glad seeing the money coming in (covers my webhosting expenses), my focus is not on how to make money through Adsense - the focus stays still and that is on SEO and Pagerank.

Will write something about adsense sometime later, not alone about how much money - but also what type we have to choose - whether adsense for content, search or products. What type of layout brings money - images/links.

This is huge money for lots of people in other parts of world and this site provides information and/or a proof that you too can taste success online. With the approaches that I am currently taking, there should be good amount of revenue getting generated and at that point will do something for a good cause.

I just configured a Custom Search Engine for pagerank 0.

If you would like to setup something like that for your website, you can easily do that by following the steps provided in http://google.com/coop/cse/.

Also, if you want to earn money through adsense for your website, create an adsense account first and then map your custom search engine to adsense.

I included adsense for some of my websites and you can see the live demo here: ARRahman, Average Joe and Blog Headers, and also created a custom search engine for both arrahman.net and pagerank0.com

The setup was quite easy and you might miss the purpose of channels the first time when you do that (because I did :-)) and later found that it was quite useful for statistical purposes to understand which website and which type of advertisement brings more money - whether it is Link ads or Text-Image ads.

It is like few hours now since I had setup the site for adsense monetize and seeing some results (few dollars) - which I think is a good start and promising. I will update later whether on the amount part, so keep checking this site for Future updates.

You can start from here: Welcome to Adsense
