This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bing Network for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Microsoft is finally going alone. It’s taken off the training wheels, put both hands on the handlebars… and it might even have attached a rocket to the back wheel. Last month, the company announced the…
The year was 1997. I had been running my own website for two years when my webmaster introduced me to a site that was doing some pretty cool stuff. Knowing that I was into games, he showed me a site called Springerspan.com, a very primitive site multiplayer game site. The developer of the site (who…
I have no idea what I’m doing. I know, I’m supposed to be the expert, right? I’m the guy who wrote a best-selling book on earning money with AdSense, and another top-seller on Twitter. I’ve built a gaming site that was sold to Yahoo! and put together content sites that each deliver five-figure incomes in…
When I was working on Click Here to Order, I had a problem. How could I describe all of the accomplishments achieved by the people I was interviewing? Although each of the marketers I spoke to was usually best known for creating one unique model, which they were now sharing with others, almost all of…

What are people talking about when they talk about RSS feeds? Let me make it simple. In fact, let me make it REAL simple. RSS stands for “really simple syndication”. Basically, it is a format for distributing and gathering content from various sources across the web. This can include newspapers, magazines and ablogs. Using something…
I’m at a loss for words. I’ve started this newsletter half a dozen times trying to find the right way to share some information with you. Sometimes the words don’t come. Eloquence doesn’t seem to be in the cards for me today. It’s not that the topic isn’t interesting. It’s just that I’ve got writer’s…
Let’s face it. Google’s AdSense program is absolutely ingenious. It’s not perfect, but it is ingenious. Occasionally, an ad will display that is not relevant to the content on the page. But more often than not, the AdSense bot knows what ads to show. This was never truer than the ad I saw displayed on…
People have been asking me three questions about the AdSense program, and their new terms of service and AdSense support team have now clarified all of these issues. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Question 1) Does Google allow other ads to run on the same page as AdSense Ads?

I’ve got a Christmas gift for you! No strings attached. It’s a gift, pure and simple. 🙂 As you are probably well aware, Google AdSense is not the only way to generate money on your site with contextual ad services. I’ve written a brand new report called: “Contextual Ad Systems: Earning Beyond AdSense” And I…
