Value Ad - Made For AdSense Sites
Value Ad, MFA Websites
Who wants to make money from AdSense?
Or a better question: who does not want to make
money from AdSense?
What Is "Made For AdSense"?
MFA (Made For AdSense) websites refer
to sites that were created specifically to profit from
serving Google AdSense ads, and for no other purpose.
Typically, these websites lack any real content. I'm
sure you've all seen a few Made For AdSense websites
that haunt the web. MFA sites are the scorn of advertisers.
Why? Because MFA websites simply do not convert website
visitors into buyers. Advertisers on MFA sites pay the
websites for clicks, but rarely do those clicks actually
convert into sales.
Profiting from Advertising
There is nothing wrong with profiting
from work. If a publisher has created unique and interesting
content, there is no reason they should not profit from
it. In fact, publishers who are on the Internet to make
money should make every effort to maximize the amount
of revenue they receive. That said, Made For AdSense
websites that are cluttered with advertisements and
lack any genuine content are far too common. The key
distinction between Made For AdSense websites and a
publisher who happens to profit from AdSense is the
quality and value of the content on the website.
Profit From "Pay Per Click"
The ad serving services have made changes
to restrict how their ads are used. Be sure to review
the terms of services prior to adding their ads to your
website. Whether adding YPN! or Google AdSense ads to
a website, webmasters and publishers should keep the
following in mind:
a. Match The Color Of The Advertisement
-- Attempt to blend the advertisement into the
website if possible.
b. Position The Ad -- Position
the advertisement "above the fold" on the web page (i.e.
in the upper portion of the page, before having to scroll
down), in a place where it is more likely to result
in clicks.
c. Match The Font -- Attempt
to match the website's font with the font used in the
advertisement.
d. Remove The Ads Border --
Remove the border from the advertisement so that it
better blends into the website.
Many websites are built with the intention
of generating advertising revenue. Google's algorithms
have become quite astute at determining whether a website
is merely a collection of affiliate links, or if the
site contains actual value. In order for a website to
rank well in and prosper from the search engines, the
website needs to offer something different or unique,
or a specialized product or service in order to distinguish
itself. If the website is strictly a collection of affiliate
links, without any additional value, the search engines
will quickly determine that the site offers no real
value to their searchers. Webmasters need to ask themselves:
if you remove the website's advertisements and the affiliate
links, is there anything of value that remains? Is there
any intrinsic value to the website's actual contents?
There is nothing wrong with profiting
from a website -- commercialization on the web is big
business. But there needs to be value that distinguishes
a website from its competitors. Content should be designed
for website visitors, not for advertisements or search
engines. Ultimately, the long-term profitability of
a the website will rely on the value of the content
contained in the website. If the content lacks value,
the website will likely be profitable for only a short
amount of time.
