John Woon asked:


Amazing incomes are being made from Google Adsense by webmasters across the globe every day. Even small sites and blogs are taking advantage of Google Adsense to monetize their sites if they know how to use some tools that are freely available.

The following are some of the most effective tools:

1) Article marketing

It goes without saying that the more traffic you have to your sites, the higher would be your Adsense income and one way to drive fee traffic to your site is through article marketing.

Getting your articles written with killer headlines that will grab the visitors’ attention, and distributing and publishing them on the Internet is one of the very best Internet marketing techniques in existence.

Once you have become an author of an article, you become an instant authority. When visitors locate and read your article they could obtain some useful information from it. They would most probably appreciate you. When appreciation turns into trust, it is very likely that they would click the link in your article resource box to visit your website to get more information.

Submitting your articles and getting them re-published on others’ websites and newsletters/ezines is one of the most powerful Internet marketing strategies. Your articles will then start working as a free advertisement for you forever. And you do not have to pay even a dime for such advertising space. You will continue to enjoy free traffic driven to your Adsense sites for a long, long time!

The more new articles you distribute every week, the more targeted traffic you would generate. One of the reasons for this is that targeted traffic will tend to spend more time at your sites. Hence, the more time they spend there, the higher would be the chances of their clicking one of the Adsense ads posted there by Google.

2) Your Email Signature

Depending on the content and the addressees of an email, it can get forwarded many times and also copied to many other people. If you include your Adsense site in your signature, it can spread like wild fire! Therefore careful design of the wordings in your signature is important.

3) Viral Marketing or Referral Marketing

Viral marketing is a marketing strategy that encourages and prompts people to convey and pass along a marketing message to others voluntarily. With viral marketing, your campaigns once started, would spread like a virus. Everyone wants to see it, and when they do, they all want to share it with their friends. This has many times the effect of regular advertising.

When starting Hotmail after having been left way behind by Yahoo! Mail, Bill Gates had resorted to viral marketing strategy to hit back at Yahoo! And he did it very successfully. All Hotmail messages that were sent out had a brief signature at the end of the mails requesting the recipients to sign up for their own free Hotmail account. In less than one year, Hotmail managed to capture millions of users!

You could sign up at one of the leading viral marketing sites at FreeViral.com. A viral site would be automatically given to you and you can register your Adsense site here and subsequently, anyone who is signing up at your site would be taken to your Adsense site. Of course you could also give some extra exposure of your viral site through article marketing discussed above.

4) Sending Broadcasts or Emails

We are being bombarded by emails in our inbox every day whether they are from business associates, friends or even spasm mails i.e. the unsolicited emails. One way to make full use of these emails is to respond to them with your own “teaser” emails to tell them something interesting about your Adsense sites. You can do the same thing with your own opt-in list.

5) Taking Part in Discussion Groups or Forums

There are many online discussion groups where you can ask many question related to Internet marketing strategies including how best to earn money from Adsense.

Leading experts are always there to give the answers you are looking for and this does not cost you a cent! Also, for some forums, you are allowed to include your signature where you provide the links to your Adsense sites. A good example of such forum is Warrir Forum: http://www.warriorforum.com

In conclusion, there are a lot of effective and creative tools to make money from Adsense. These are being discovered by webmasters everyday and they can be obtained without having to pay a dime.

Louis Chatoff asked:


My answer is pretty simple: “I don’t have to do much”, because I have already done one of the following:

1. Cancelled or abandoned my email account because of all the garbage email.

2. Set the spam filter so high that no bulk mail gets through.

3. Or, I just go down the list of messages in my inbox and click “this is spam”

Once your email address ends up on a ‘list for sale’ you learn to adapt quickly so the high volume of unwanted messages are not overly burdensome.

Aggressive marketing has many senders believing that there is value in using purchased lists. Sellers of lists will tell customers that all the addresses in their lists have recently opted-in to receive offers from the list purchasers. Who in their right mind would knowingly opt-in to such a list?

A recent Google search came up with lists of 250,000 addresses for as little $100. That’s a quick $100 for the list seller and 250,000 worthless email addresses for the purchaser.

Here is an example of how a purchased list can ruin a good sender’s reputation:

A sender starts with a good list of 40,000 customers that opted-in to receive their newsletter. Over the last 6 months they have increased their mailings from twice a month to twice a week. Since the increase in frequency, the number of active subscribers has decreased to just over 25,000, and the open rate has gone from over 20% to around 12%. Rather than reviewing their mailing practices, the sender goes out and buys 20,000 addresses that seem to fit their target audience. The sender now sends to 45,000 members with the following results:

1. They are blocked by AOL because the have more than 10% invalid email addresses

2. Messages are being deferred by Yahoo because of user complaints

2. Hotmail appears to successfully deliver messages but they do not arrive in the inbox or the junk folder because Hotmail is deleting messages once they receive them because the sender has added Spam Traps

Even after removing the email addresses from the purchased list, the sender must spend the next month trying to resolve deliverability issues.

Nicholas Tan asked:


An E-book that includes your marketing message and a link to your website is a proven technique in viral marketing. This method uses the multiplication effect to “explode” the distribution of your message by willing participants.

This is the basic principle that was used by Hotmail to get established. When the two founders set up their free email system, all the messages that were sent by subscribers had a text message at the bottom which identified Hotmail as the origin. People who sent emails to their friends advertised the free email site.

Using viral E-books as a marketing method is cheap. It doesn’t take long to set up and it’s even quicker if you use rebrandable E-books that have been written by others. Just use your favorite search engine and do a web search. You will find many rebrandable E-books that are available on whatever subject you are interested in and that apply to your e-business. One method of distributing the E-book is to offer it to visitors in exchange for subscribing to your newsletter. If they pass it on to their friends and family it will promote your business for you.

E-books are capable of reaching a large audience and are limited only by the enthusiasm of the participants.

E-books are fairly easy to create. It’s possible to produce your own E-books by combining articles that you have written or have gotten from public domain sources, such as directories.

A common approach is to use material that has Private Label Rights, including articles and reports that have been written specifically for that purpose, for that niche. Using a portion of a larger work that you have prepared such as the first three chapters of a large E-book could also be used as a viral E-book.

Besides updating mans’ way of existing the Internet has also influenced how we do specific things including business activities. Marketing, for example, has come a long way, but the Internet is restructuring it and a most cost effective case in point is viral marketing.

Viral marketing has been around for centuries, but the concept in connection with the Internet was first used to describe Hotmails marketing practise in 1997. People who signed up for a free email account became marketing agents for hotmail by carrying the marketing message, which was simply part of their email addresses and ultimately a free advertisement every time an email was sent. A recipient clicking on the link was forwarded to the companies website where they could sign up. Using this form of marketing Hotmail left their competitors for dead.

Viral marketing is one of the most efficient ways to reach a targeted audience and communicate one’s marketing message. Known as word-of-mouth outside the framework of the Internet it is generally associated with delivering a message about a product or service and, although the theory is the same, there are many more diverse ways of employing it within the context of the Internet.

Everyone knows that a virus, which can spread notoriously easily, can explode into an epidemic within the population if not contained. Internet viral marketing is not dissimilar and the aim is to spread a marketing message from person to person. The sheer size of the Internet allows viral marketing to achieve its objective and there are many extremely efficiently ways to utilise the concept and get your product or service to as many people as possible.

Now known as possibly the best way of marketing any product there are several arguments for this consideration and probably one the best incentives is the cost. Traditional marketing techniques, because of the high continual costs they can incur, have to be done with thorough groundwork and preparation. Viral marketing, on the other hand, although not completely free, can be done with minimum expense and it’s for this reason why it is probably the top method of marketing.

Another major benefit is that there are clearly hundreds of ways of utilising this system of marketing including Article Marketing, Tell-a-friend Scripts, Email, Ezines, Newsletters, Blogging, Chat Rooms and Video Clips, but probably the best way is to give away free products, such as ebooks or software that contain your affiliate links or your own product links.

Selecting and exploiting the correct kind of viral marketing method can result in swift gains for advertisers in a short period of time and, if done properly, will not only communicate your message, but will continue to do so long after the initial set up. It is a very cost effective strategy of conveying a marketing message towards a targeted audience by encouraging other people do the advertising for you by spreading your message and it uses the Internet to its fullest extent.

Viral marketing is the term given to an idea that catches on from one member of a community to the other much like the common viral flu. Hence any marketing message that prompts users to pass it on is viral marketing. In its essence you can understand viral marketing to be a digitized version of word of mouth advertising.

Believe it or not despite all the technologically advanced means of reaching out to the masses, word of mouth advertising still retains its value. This holds as much truth online as it does online. This phenomenon occurs when you effectively manage to impress the audience with your marketing message. In order to kick start this snowball effect you need to cook up a creative and informative marketing message that clearly shows big benefits to consumers. If you can get it rolling then viral marketing is an extremely effective means of internet marketing.

The area of operation for this kind of  marketing to take place are online social networks. It is here where peers will start passing the message onto multiple other members thereby helping to spread the word. Viral marketing can spread like wild fire if executed properly and you will find people across various internet channels talking about the message. it is a great technique of seo .

The more deeply you are able to penetrate a customer’s address book the more benefits you will be able to derive. Getting your message to spread to all the people on your customer’s address book will make your viral marketing campaign extremely powerful.

Although the term “viral marketing” may be new to many, this idea has been around for ages. In fact this is the way ideas have always been circulated around in social network communities. Give something of value to the community members and they are most likely to share it with others.

Viral marketing works best when something valuable is being provided to the community members. On one hand you need to direct your efforts towards the most expected web 1.0 conventions. Then you need to make use of unique web 2.0 methods that have a far more social functioning such as blogs and RSS.

The best thing about viral marketing is that there is nothing to lose for all parties involved. The user is benefited by valuable information or services whereas your website benefits by the free advertising conducted by the users. The elements of curiosity and excitement involved with this kind of marketing make it extremely successful amongst the masses. Hence you have people actively seeking what you have to give.

The success that viral marketing can bring can be judged by looking at how hotmail has managed to become one of the biggest email providers on the internet. They used this tactic long ago and it paved the way to success for them. By adding a small marketing message to the bottom of every email sent, hotmail was able to spread the word regarding its free email service.

When you offer some tangible incentive with your marketing investment then viral marketing is bound to work at its best. It is important to restraint this practice to the extent that will not get you counted as spam.

John DeLellis asked:


Viral marketing is based on how humans behave naturally . The easiest way to describe Viral Marketing is to compare it to word of mouth marketing. ‘Viral Marketing’ is a term that emerged in the late 1990s during the first great internet boom and while many of the buzzwords and wisdoms to emerge from that age have cheerfully and gratefully been forgotten, the notion behind viral marketing is as relevant today as ever. One example of successful viral marketing is Hotmail, a company, now owned by Microsoft, that promotes its service and its own advertisers’ messages in every user’s e-mail. However, viral marketing is one of the easiest and cheapest things you can do to grow your online presence and turn your efforts into a money maker.

Viral marketing has definitely gained its popularity over the global network. More and more businesses are adopting this marketing strategy to gain their fair share in the market. The approach developed by Hotmail in increasing its number of subscribers is one classic example of viral marketing.

How Hotmail Did It

Hotmail is one of the first web-based email provider that gives away email addresses for free. Their marketing approach starts by giving free web-based email addresses and additional services. Each of the messages sent with a Hotmail address has an advertisement at the bottom that goes: “Get your private, free email at http://www.hotmail.com.”

Then, of course, Hotmail subscribers will use the service to send messages to their friends and colleagues. These friends and colleagues will get the message and read it, and then clicks on the link at the bottom. They will also sign up and be a subscriber like what the sender did. Then these new subscribers will also email their own set of friends. The cycle goes on and on.

This is why viral marketing has the power of reaching thousands, even millions, of people in such a short time and with little effort from the one who initiates it.

Elements of Viral Marketing

Dr. Ralph Wilson, an e-commerce consultant, named six elements or basic principles of viral marketing. A viral marketing technique need not have all of these, but the more principles it follows, the more powerful the strategy will be.

1. Give away products or services. This is the first and most basic principle of viral marketing. When a person hears the word “free,” it elicits the interest in him and will avail of that free product or service, for sure. Having cheap or inexpensive products may also do the trick, but “free” will give much faster results.

Patience is important in viral marketing. Giving away products for free may not earn profit today but if the business gets to develop customer base by giving something for free, it will soon generate income for them.

2. Easy transfer to others. The medium used to carry the marketing message to other people should relatively be easy. Viral marketing has been powerful over the internet because of the ease of communication the technology offers. Email, web sites, software downloads are just some examples that can be used in viral marketing.

Also, it is better that the message be short for easy copying and transmission. Simple and short but straight to the point is best, just like Hotmail’s advertisement at the bottom of each email sent out.

3. Scalability from small to very large. When viral marketing is used as a marketing style, it is best that the business is prepared for rapid growth. In cases of increasing web traffic thru viral advertising, the web owner should make sure that the host server is prepared enough to handle the expected increase in traffic within a short period of time.

This should not be taken for granted; else, it will defeat the purpose of doing viral marketing. Once people notice that the site takes a long time to load, they will just leave and forget about it. That means an automatic loss of potential customers.

4. Exploit motivation and behaviors. A marketing strategy that builds on motivation and behaviors of people for its transmission is a definite plus. People love to be popular. This motivation will drive them to communicate to more and more people to be known.

5. Utilize existing networks. According to social scientists, an average person has about 8 to 12 members in their close network of family, friends and colleagues. Moreover, internet gives way to creating a bigger network circle. Learning to use these existing networks in viral marketing will yield better results.

6. Take advantage of other’s resources. Viral marketing need not consume all your resources away. Using other web sites in posting your articles, for example, will get them read by a large number of people without the need of creating your own web page.

It is best to learn these basic elements or principles of viral marketing first before actually doing it. Being to aggressive without doing your homework may just lead to damage instead of success. Try to adopt those that may be applicable to your product. Use all of the principles, if possible, for a more successful output.

Ryan Pitylak asked:


Viral marketing is the newest member of Internet marketing and it is considered by many to be a very efficient method for advertising on the web. The most influential viral marketing technique would be that of Hotmail.com, which is one of the first free web-based e-mail services. The strategy of the Hotmail.com is:

• Gives away a no-cost e-mail address services

• Attaches a simple tag at the bottom of every free e-mail that says “Get your private, free e-mail at http://www.hotmail.com”

• Waits while people e-mail their own network of friends and associates

• Reaps the benefit when friends of the original email user see the message and sign-up for their own free e-mail account

• Then, the new users ultimately send the tag to an even wider group of friends who sign-up for the service as well.

Of course, some viral marketing strategies work better than others, and only a small percentage of them work as well as the Hotmail.com strategy. If a marketer wants to start a viral marketing campaign she must include the following 6 basic elements:

• Give away services or products. Use the word “free,” which is one of the strongest words in a marketer’s vocabulary. Most of the viral marketing campaigns offer valuable products or services for free in order to attract users.

• Provide an effortless transfer to others. The reason why viral marketing works very well on the Internet is because there is an instant communication among people which is not only easy but also inexpensive. From a marketing standpoint, the message must be as simple as possible that that it will be understood by everyone.

• Scale easily from a small user-base to a large user-base. A clever marketer must take understand common human motivations and must design a marketing plan that is built upon the common motivations and behaviors of the target market.

• Utilize existing communication networks. Just like in interpersonal life, people over the Internet develop networks of relationships. These relationships include a form of communication, such as e-mail addresses. Viral marketing programs take advantage of these networks by inserting their message into these existing online networks.

• Allow other people and companies to take advantage of your resources. Let other people use your resources for their benefit. For example, authors of articles will provide content to website owners in exchange for position on their website. A basic news release can be picked up by up hundreds of periodicals.

Manita PD asked:


A proven technique in viral marketing is the use of Ebooks which include your marketing message and are willingly passed on to others. This method uses the multiplication effect to “explode” the distribution of your message by willing participants.

The basic principle was used by Hotmail to get established. When the two founders set up their free email system, all the messages that were sent by subscribers had a text message at the bottom which identified Hotmail as the origin. People would send emails to their friends, who would be tempted to set up hotmail accounts and send emails to their friends…

Within a short time, Hotmail had 22 million subscribers. They eventually sold out to Microsoft for about $400 million.

Using viral ebooks as a marketing method is:

a. Cheap. It doesn’t take long to set up. It’s even quicker if you use rebrandable ebooks that have been produced by others. Just do a search on Google and you’ll soon find many rebrandable ebooks that are available in your field of expertise. One distribution method is to offer these ebooks to visitors in exchange for subscribing to your newsletter. If they also pass it on, then others will promote your business for you.

b. Capable of reaching a large audience by geometrical progression, limited only by the enthusiasm of the participants.

c. Effectively combined with other forms of promotion.

d. A means of selling other products than the one you originally targeted. For instance, if you are selling garden products, those interested in flowers could also be interested in a catalogue that contains material on lawns, trees, landscaping, garden tools, etc.

e. Fairly easy to create. It’s possible to produce your own ebooks by combining articles that you’ve written or have obtained from public domain sources, such as directories. An increasingly common approach is to use material that has Private Label Rights, including articles and reports that have been written specifically for that purpose, for that niche. You could also use as a viral ebook a portion of a larger work that you’ve prepared, such as the first three chapters of a larger ebook.

f. Effective at building your reputation if you distribute a quality product that users are willing to pass on to others, as this is an implied recommendation.

Whatever the subject matter, the ebook should be of significant value and free – or of very low cost in relation to its perceived value. But usually it is free and easy to pass on.

Many ebooks also combine very well with an affiliate program. When the affiliate receives some extra benefit from promoting the viral message, such as being able to brand your ebook with his affiliate links, the affiliate makes a sale when a reader buys through a branded link. You benefit from the increased traffic to your website because the affiliate is willing to promote the ebook for you!

Be sure your message includes a clear call to action. There should be no doubt about what you intend recipients to do. Offer clear instructions so that recipients know HOW to act. As well, the action you require should be simple and obvious. Don’t complicate it or confuse the reader, such as by adding numerous links. Remember the K.I.S.S. principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Finally, the INCENTIVE should be clear to those you want to act. Readers will linger over your offering for only a few seconds before they move on. If it takes too long to work out, if your message is vague or difficult to understand, chances are you will lose them. If you don’t respect your readers enough to express your message clearly, they will lose interest.

Viral Marketing with ebooks is but one of many techniques that together have a cumulative effect in attracting customers and subscribers to your business – in attracting targeted visitors to your website. You’ll soon find that this is an excellent way of increasing sales, subscribers and referrals.

Alan Lim asked:




Most people who have more than a passing knowledge of Web 2.0 technology understand the magic of viral marketing very well. What they may not know, however, is how to harness that immense power in order to make money with AdSense. Here are some suggestions.

Use Your Email

One of the cleverest uses of viral marketing has always been the Hotmail example. Users of the free email service had messages asking recipients to sign up for accounts at hotmail. As a result, their sign-up message would be spread to millions and millions of people all around the world. The result was an increase in registered hotmail users and indisputable proof that viral marketing could be a powerful too.

If you want to make money with AdSense, you can do something similar. Create some type of site that requires registration and use this for your AdSense ads. For example, you might have people register to receive something for free, such as a newsletter subscription or a free ebook. Mention the site in the signature of every one of your emails. When people go to register, they will be on the same page as your AdSense ads. That’s one way to make money with AdSense.

Use YouTube

YouTube has become one of the biggest phenomena to hit the Internet ever. It’s also a great tool for viral marketing because those great videos can be spread and shared with millions of people quickly and easily. Plus, most people don’t consider receiving a YouTube link to be spam (since they are normally sent by people who know them) so it’s more likely to be viewed than other types of links.

To make money with AdSense this way, create a fun and creative video that is going to capture the attention of your audience but which may also be relevant to whatever your site is about. Put the spot on YouTube and incorporate your URL into the clip with a message such as “To see more” or “For more information on this clip.”

Use Your Friends

Social networking has also really taken off in recent years. If you want to make money with AdSense, you can use this trend to your benefit as well. Most social networking sites have a way of compiling your friends. While some of these people may be legitimate acquaintances, the rest probably are not.

Put together some type of email message that would be appealing to a large number of the friends. Maybe the email could direct them to a fun site full of quizzes or movie trivia. Then you have that material on your website along with your AdSense ads. As a result, your site gets more traffic and many of those visitors will be likely to click on the ads to earn you revenue.

Other Tips

No matter which of the viral marketing idea you use above to make money with AdSense, be sure to test it carefully first to make sure it will work as you desire.
