This month I received two cheques. One from Adsense, the other one from Adbrite. The amount is $204.49. Not bad, right? Actually I had reached this amount three months ago. But you will only receive your payment three months after you reach the amount that you had set.

Are you using Adbrite already? If you have, please leave some comment here about your opinion or some tips for generating revenue with Adbrite. If you haven’t, why don’t you give them a try? Combine it with Adsense, like what I did. It’s better not to put your eggs only in one basket, right?!

Check out my tips about Adbrite. You might find it useful.

I just installed AdSense-Deluxe Wordpress Plugin, a plugin that helped me to insert Google AdSense ads inside my blog and only visible in the single page. It is a WordPress plugin offering advance options for managing the automatic insertion of Google Adsense, Yahoo Publisher Network, or any other ads to your posts. You have full control of when and where those ads are displayed.

It’s easy to use and very simple. All you have to do is download and install the plugin in the cPanel. Activate it in the Wordpress panel, then go to Option/Setting -> Adsense-Deluxe. In here you can insert your Adsense code and set how you want the ads to be displayed.

At first in Adsense-Deluxe option/setting page, I found error when I was trying to set the option and insert the Adsense code.

Cannot load AdSense-Deluxe.php

I searched and tried to find the solution for this error and I found it in Ad.Click.ol.o.gy.com :

Take the “Adsense-Deluxe.php” file out of the “adsense-deluxe_wp_plugin_v0.8″ folder and place it directly in the plugin folder. Activate the plugin again, or if it still active, deactivate and reactivate.

This should fix the problem. It fixed mine. Now I’m able to insert ads inside the post, wherever I want. Just insert the code <!–adsense–> in the place that I want the ads to be displayed with my choices of size and color to blend with the post.

Here’s the list of another plugins for Adsense that I found :

AdSense Injection - Download v2.0
Insert Adsense code randomly into a pre-existing blog. It will takes a random paragraph (or br tag) break in your article and inserts Adsense code. It does one per story on multi-post pages (home, archive, category) and lets you pick how many to show on single post pages. It lets you pick how many total ads to show at any time as well and lets you set the formats and colors you want it to randomly select from.

AdSense Inline - Download
Insert Adsense in the middle of the post.

WhyDoWork AdSense Plugin - Download v1.2
It’s a WordPress plugin that allows you to insert Adsense ads on your blog without modifying the template. You can also set it up to show different Adsense ads for articles older than ‘x’ days. For example, you can insert 468×60 ad at the bottom of a new article, and once that article turns 7 days old it will have a more aggressive 336×280 ad blended with the text from the beginning of that article.

It will displays any ads which is randomly between any number of advertisements, images, or other codes. This can be used to distribute your ads impressions between various networks and to provide variety to users.

Google Adsense has updated their Term and Conditions. If you are an Adsense publisher, there are some changes that you need to know. Here’s the summary of the changes that I found in labnol.org :

1. You shall not display any Ads, Links or Referral buttons on any error page, on any registration and thank you page, on any chat page, or in any email.
2. Each web page that contains a Google Search Box must also contain other content related to your site.
3. You shall not place Google ads associated with multiple AdSense accounts on the same web page.
4. Adsense Referral products (like Firefox, Google Pack, etc) must be placed on web pages that contain other content that related to your site.
5. If you are participating in any of the beta AdSense features (like AdSense for RSS Feeds), you should not talk about them on your blog.
6. If you have elected to receive content or Site-based Ads, you further agree not to display on any Serviced Page any non-Google content-targeted advertisements. If You have elected to receive Search Results on any sites, you agree that Google will be the exclusive provider of Internet search services on such sites.
7. If your AdSense account is inactive, Google may donate your accumulated earnings to charity.
8. AdSense Publishers probably need to add a new privacy policy to their website disclosing information about ad cookies to visitors.

All this new Google Adsense Term and Conditions, you are required to accept them before May 25th, 2008 else you may not be able to continue using your Google Adsense account. If you haven’t, just log in to your Adsense account. You will first be prompted with this agreement before you can access your account.

I’m putting ads today. The ads that I’m using is Adsense and Adbrite. All this time, only this two that is a good source income for me comparing to others such as Bidvertiser or WidgetBucks. I’ve been paid one time from Adsense and expecting another payment now. And for Abrite, I had reached the minimum payout already. But the payment will be processed only 3 months after you reached the minimum. So I expecting payment from Adbrite around March.Their calculations are based on pay per click and pay per impression. But one different that I noticed. If you put 3 Adsense ads in your blog, the impressions for all of it will count only 1 impression for a visit. But for Adbrite, if you put 3 ads, they will count 3 impressions for 1 visit. So the more Adbrite ads you put, the more income for you.I had experienced this myself. After I put more Adbrite ads in my other blogs, my daily revenue for Adbrite is increased. You can even earning more by activating the Show full page ads feature. But remember, some of the readers don’t like this kind of ads. So you have to consider about loosing some readers if you continue using this feature.

Another features that available are BritePic and InVideo. You can earn more by putting advertisement in photos and videos that you upload to your site. But this features only available for the blog that self hosted. I’ve tried to use the InVideo feature before for My Interesting Files, but failed cause that site still hosted in Blogger.
