New Beginnings and Different Ad Sizes

Well I Have Written Once or Twice About This My Ongoing Venture
Poetry Writes and Other Stuff from Sinbad the Sailor Man or PW&OSfStSM in past Hubs. So I thought I'd touch base with all of you who are still trying as I am trying to build your own Websites and hoping to earn a Passive Income with them.
I have been devoting much more time this year as to this Venture. As the Seasons change from Fall to Winter as the weather has me home bound more so than not; because of all of Its fluctuations of temperature and humidity. My back just can't handle the consent changing of the outside variances. So I stay inside most of the time.
It (this Venture of Mine) is really more of a hobby than a Job, Career, or Investment; at this present time. I can not honestly say I have devoted to It what I would to any other JOB or Career. That I might have expected to derive an income from. Shame on me for this, but it all has to do with my Physical and Mental Conditioning brought on by my Back traumas.
And the compounding life traumas that were born from them or because of them. But enough of that self pitying stuff. It just happens to be something I like to do and It keeps myself busy. With this Venture not the self pitying stuff although in the past this was all I had to keep me busy.
For those of you who don't know me I am on disability for serve back troubles which have only gotten worst over the years. The last 14 years. I am facing further surgeries as I sit here typing this Hub, but I am doing everything I know to avoid the surgeon's knife again. I have had three back operations to date. And believe me one is more than enough for anyone to have to bare.
I have been fighting a new trauma off and on for all of this last year or so. And I was recovering rather well until I hit a chuck hole with the riding lawnmower. It didn't seem to be much at the time and it would be several weeks later that it turned into a problem, but It seems to be healing on its own and then again at times it seems to worsen.
Time will tell. As with these my injuries new and old. It is the same with this my Venture. Only Time will tell. I have every confidence if I guard my back's condition it will get better. It has always gotten better in the past as long as I do very little in the line of physical activities. I should reach a point where the pain will subside and level off.
Well this is the start of the forth year for my website; or at least the dot com version of it. And I started using Adsense in July 2010 And to date I have just reached twenty dollars in earnings. Which to most people doesn't seem to be much or even enough for all the effort.
I know, the opinion of others very well, but it is not bad for the traffic that It received during its first few years of existence. Upon the World Wide Web filled with millions of websites and billions of webpages.
I didn't know anything about Adsense or Google four years ago. And I still don't know a whole lot about them today. But what I have learned I am willing to share with you all here at Hubpages.
Screen Shot of one of my Video Blog post. Notice also the "Search this Blog" and the "Translate Box" two really good features from Google for your Blogs.
Since January 2012 till October 2012
Since January of this year until October I used only the 300 x 250 square ad block by Google and truly it was the only one I have ever used. From the beginning of my use with Adsense ads. But this October I decided to try what the Adsense team has been saying all a long. Which was to diversify my ad sizes and placements.
Mind you I was still rather skeptical of what Adsense could do for me and my website. After all I took a big hit to my ego. From the Porno sites that made me believe I was all that and a bag of chips my first few months way back in July 2009 - 2010.
These sites somehow hacked into my new forum and were using it to spread their filth around and making themselves a pretty penny.

I would have never even knew they were there if I didn't start doing vanity searches on the website. It was getting hits in the millions and many many visits every day but yet I was not getting any Adsense revenue or hits on my clickbanks items or my Affiliate items.
So when I checked into it. I found them using an old forum that I thought I shut down but it wasn't shut down correctly until I eliminated all of its files from the websites files.

After I found them and eliminated their access to my website address and forum I had virtually no traffic at all for a long while. about eight months. That was the Blow that almost made me quit the website altogether.
Until I researched the porno sites and their traffic. Its unreal that they would have to even do what they did to me but, because of the high traffic they receive and the amount of profits. And all the hoops it takes to open one of these porno sites correctly the legislation and the high cost to do business.
I could see how and why there was a reason these guys were doing this to me and many other newbies. Big money in porn! Which is really sad.
We are so much more then lust and dust. Big money brings corruption and those who have a strong desire to get this money at any cost always find away around the rules and regulations.

I am sorry I get side tracked quiet easily some times. As I was saying change up your ads sizes and try different locations on your pages. Limit yourself to only three Adsense ads per Web page.
The Most popular sizes are believed to be the 300 x 250 squared, the Leader Board 728 x 90 and the Skyscaper wide 160 x 600 as soon as I placed these or started to place them.

These other two ad sizes, I begun to see a rise in my impressions, not my clicks right away but my impressions. Plus I had many more advertisers bidding on my pages and the ads located on them.
After about a week and when they were still new to the website. I had seen as many clicks in that week as I had seen the full time period from January til October of 2012 which as a result doubled my click ratio for the year. So I was hooked.
And there and then I knew I had to drive more traffic to the site along with creating more and better quality information as to keep the site growing and flowing forward again. So I started to search for more sites to add to my Traffic Wheel and Its links.
I was not having much luck as I have already tied into all the Big Dog social sites. And I wanted to stick with them for sure. So I started to listen to what the Grapevine was spouting off about that month and boom! An Idea came across the vine and I was off and running to see if I could make that work.
And so far I have to believe it is working, by what it is I am seeing with my Adsense account. Along with my promoting of old writes and new ones. And what it is I am doing now to increase traffic to the main portions of my monetized websites and Blogs.
I would have to say Adsense could possibly support the cost of all the websites in about a years time. As long as I can keep the growth rate up and keep expanding my websites and Blogs footprint and footprints onto the internet.
Those that lead back to It that is. It should be more then possible to do. And that gets me excited as I need for this to happen if I am going to stick with It. For that would be about the right amount of time that it begins to happen for most of us who don't give in or up.
Four to five years, for some a little bit shorter and for some a bit longer.

Notice the Tabs across the top of this Blog, These are part of my Traffic Wheel Links. They Lead people to my Websites Pages or Alexa, Facebook, or Twitter.
Notice the different color text. These are links from Wikipedia.org. Also notice the Hubpage widget and the other Blogger Icons. They are links to my other Content on the WWW. Which all have youtube videos and Wikipedia links in them.
Blogger, Wikipedia, and Youtube
Well as I was listening to the Grape Vine chattering away. Something some one said made an impression on me. They said that there were so many videos being uploaded per minute, per day, per week, Per a single month that it would equate to a thousand years worth of video time a thousand years a month wow.
Now that is a lot of videos I thought. And there is not many sites that are ever going to reach over five years old. This is when they become abandoned and left forgotten upon Youtube or the World Wide Web by their creators.
I knew about the massive amounts of abandon website materials and forgotten sites but it never dawned on me to seek them out or to try and use them some how, to organize them in some way and then share them with others.
So I kept listening and some one else mentioned Wikipedia.org a free source of information and how seldom people were using It; and to their advantage. Wikipedia is an Online free encyclopedia. With resources that any one could use freely as long as they referenced it.
Tons of Videos with little or no information about the videos itself then left abandoned and forgotten but yet still usable for free as an embedded link or back link hum? Things began to stewing in my mind.
I listened a while longer; and another some one mentions Blogger.com Now wait a minute There I thought to myself a moment I use Blogger all the time! Its free and I can Monetize it. Three free resources which all can drive traffic; if they could be combined some how.
Now I have been wanting for some time to create my own video Blogs but I am not all that comfortable talking On-line. And with no way to edit my videos just yet. I would always end up scrapping them before they got posted.
But I will be doing this some time in the future soon, as I hope to afford a video editor so I can edit out all my mistakes. Its a must have. Heck Youtube Videos are like the cheapest commercials anyone could do for their Business, Websites, or Blogs.
But hey aren't there too many of these commercials already? So I have been telling people at my Blogs to help solve peoples problems or entertain the hell out out them. I have been trying to help for some time now so why not try the flip side and entertain them some. Christmas Time? Christmas videos how many could I find? Enough.
So I created a Video Blog at Blogger.com and Boom it went to the single digits millions at Alexa.com within the first month! It took my website almost six months to do that and that was with the porno visitors.
Bingo a light bulb popped on above my head just like in the cartoons. So I created three more of these video Blogger Blogs. To see if it was a fluke or if it was working. Boom! All three within their first month went into the single digit Millions at Alexa. Whoa I thought now I am on to something here. I need my own Video Blogs with My own uploaded Videos and My own materials.
But wait a minute. That is so much work. Work I would never have the Time to do. Not by myself and I can't afford to pay even the fiverr.com people to do all that work. Now what? Hey Wikipedia I forgot about Wikipedia lets see if I can find Information to share there about these videos I was posting.
By Golly there was more information in most cases than I needed. So when I finally put them all together the pieces to this puzzle. You see what I now have been using a Blog that you can monetize for free and a resource website with vast amounts of Information you that can reference for free and videos you can share for free.
That are more then likely forgotten about or abandoned. So you will have less people pulling them from your sites and Blogs. Which always seems to be the case If you embedded a newer video for some odd reason. The Video's poster will shut them down without warning or get them pulled or taken down for copy right infringements or for some other reason altogether.
But these older Videos never seem to be bothered. And the beauty is that Blogger will help you find and select them with the tools within Blogger.
I have not worked out all the kinks of which I am sure there will be many to come. But for the meanwhile it is working to help drive traffic and earn Adsense as well affiliate commissions.
As small as all these changes are. They worked why? Because the more content you have that is seen and gets you noticed makes you more connected with and to the bigger foot prints that you have been leaving upon the WWW. Making it easier for old and new traffic to find you repeatedly because they are not only bigger they are deeply imprinted.
And that is how I increased my Adsense earnings this year. I started doing what Google said about there products and I started looking to the resources that are freely used and shared by the masses. I asked the right people at the right time and ask my Visitors to like and share and to RSS feed my sites with subtle and gentle reminders whenever possible.
And then I combined these new resources with an old major player that lets you try to earn with their products for free! Such as Google's Blogger and with their Adsense program. They know best how it all works try and pick the brains of those who are earning with these systems whenever possible.
I Wish You All a Merry Christmas to Everybody! And a Happy New Year!
