Enhanced AdSense Security - Allowed Sites

Google has just announced another weapon in the war against AdSense fraudsters - a list of allowed sites. Each publisher can now submit the URLs of sites displaying their AdSense ads. Only earnings accrued from these sites will be credited to the publisher's account. This great new feature should seek to reassure AdSense publishers that Google are taking seriously their concerns about account.

To register your own allowed sites just click the 'Allowed Sites' link under your 'AdSense Setup' tab in your account. Read the full story at Inside AdSense.

AdSense Policy Updates

AdSense is allowing publishers to display up to THREE link units on each page of their site. Link units are a great way of filling those niggling little gaps in your page content.

So, the maximum number of AdSense units per page are now as follows:

1. 3 AdSense for Content units
   
2. 3 AdSense link units
3. 2 AdSense for Search boxes
4. 2 Referral buttons for EACH referral product

Remember that these are the absolute maximums and cramming your pages full to the brim with AdSense units is likely to alienate your visitors. Remember "Simplicity Rules"!

Why You Want Fast Hosting for AdSense Sites

It may not seem to be obvious at the first glance why you want a fast and reliable hosting for AdSense sites — and virtually any of your content site that you create specificaly to earn money from contextual advertising or other advertising programs.

First, let us make it clear.

You can host your site on free hosting service. Nothing is going to stop you. During your application, it may increase your chance to be accepted into the program if you have a professional site with your own domain.

But, really, after being accepted, you can take any low quality hosting service and use it for any of your new site.

The thing, I recommend that you always go for the fastest and greatest hosting you can afford for several reasons. It better has to be reliable too. Why?

1. It increases your professionalism

Don’t expect everyone run on broadband. Many people are still on dialup, although broadband penetration is certainly going up. So you optimize your page to load in a breeze.

The sad thing is, with slow hosting which hiccups during peak time, you have just ruined your hard work. Click! Your visitor has just clicked anywhere else, instead of your AdSense ads.

2. It caters to low attention span problem

People have shorter attention span online. It develops over time as there are more pages to choose and read everyday. If your whole page, including Google AdSense ad blocks don’t load in a few short seconds, they are not going to wait.

The back button is just one click away…

Remember that AdSense ads are loaded based on JavaScript code. Although it is a safe bet that Google is usually fast, still you need to load the page fast enough before user browser can start querying for the ads.

3. It increases your income.

Yes, it really does. For every visitor that you miss because of your sluggish hosting, for every minute or even second it goes down, you have just lost your AdSense dollar.

This is not something you can afford, especially given the fact that there are inexpensive hosting packages that actually deliver values.

You usually get what you pay, but never accept anything less.
