Recently Google has banned thousands of AdSense accounts of Pakistani publishers. Some people estimate the number to be 95%. It discourged many legitimate bloggers and they quit blogging. However this doesn’t have any effect on advertising giants revenues or figures. It is estimates that Google now have 44% of global advertising market.

How to Create Multiple Adsense Accounts

Javid has asked this question:

I want to put my sites on different Adsense accounts. I tried to create another one but I failed. Is it possible to create multiple Adsense accounts?

Sure, multiple Adsense accounts can be created. Only limitation is that you need a new separate entity with separate address from that of previous one to create another Adsense account. It means one individual cannot have two Adsense accounts but your siblings, spouse or a friend can have another account for you.

You have two options.

1. Create an account in name of some relative or friend but use a separate address.

2. Register a company and create Adsense account in name of that business. You will need a bank account in name of that company in order to receive payments. To have more then one account, setup multiple companies and have Adsense account in their name. Only limitation is that they should have separate address.

Some have worried about using their Adsense accounts from the same I.P. I haven’t seen this to be a problem. Set your accounts up legitimately and don’t worry about it.

This is the legitimate way of setting up multiple Adsense accounts. There are many ways to do it non-legit

Adsense Now Available on Mobile Apps

If you have a mobile phone where you can download apps, then you may have noticed that some of the apps have ads on them. Mobile application developers use them to make money. Google had been testing AdSense on mobile apps for the iPhone and Android in a kind of private beta with roughly 10 partners, including Pandora, Shazam and Urbanspoon. Now the program is opening up to apps developers and publishers who meet some criteria (among them, a 3 month commitment, 100K+ page views).

On the advertising side, the process by which advertisers select their audiences and bid for placement is largely similar to the Web-based version of AdSense. “Placement targeting” (choosing which app to advertise on), keyword and broad geo targeting are carried over, although placement targeting is still in the experimental phase.

Adsense CPM Ads

Shankar asked,

PLease do clarify what if none of the ads is being clicked by any of the visitors?… But for instance,the page is having a lot of visitors… Will adsense pay just for displaying ads on a page – which is viewed by lot of ppl?

You’re asking about CPM ads. CPM stands for “cost per 1000 impressions.” Advertisers running CPM ads set their desired price per 1000 ads served and pay each time their ad appears.

CPM ads can only be server on a page if a Adwords advertiser bid for placing CPM ads and place higher bid then CPC ads. So it is a rare scenario, that you get CPM ads on your pages.

My experience is CPM ads yeild high revenue, even some time tripple the CPC ads. CPM ads in Google Adsense compete against pay-per-click (or CPC, cost per click) ads in the ad auction, so only the highest performing ads will be served to your pages. If an advertiser wants to specifically target your site, they will need to bid high enough to beat out the CPC ads that are already in the auction in order to show up on your page. Google pays you each time a CPM ad is shown on your page. But you won’t earn additional revenue for clicks on these ads.

If you’re interested in CPM ads, there are many CPM alternatives to Adsense, Problogger has a good list here of Adsense CPM alternatives.

Adsense for Domains is Open for Everyone

We earlier talked about Adsense for Domains in our post about making money from domains. Google had this AdSense product for domains, but only people with huge portfolios could have access to it.

Today they are opening that product up to all publishers, so even if you have few domains laying around you will now be able to put AdSense on them.

The good news is that it will be more money that what it was possible to make before with the domain parking companies (if nothing else you are taking out the middle man).

To use this feature, you just need to log into your AdSense account and click on the “AdSense Setup” tab, and there should be an “AdSense for domains” option there. Currently it is only available to U.S. AdSense publishers though, but Google should expand it to everyone else soon.
