Mukesh — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 09:55:40 +0000

PayPal is the world’s most popular “middleman service” for online purchasing. Where moneygrams and wire transfers were the standard in the 20th century, today over 99 million Internet users prefer to use PayPal to send money to each other via email. PayPal has become such a convenient and trusted way to transfer money online, 95% of eBay’s purchases go through PayPal.

Understanding How Paypal Works : This article contains a comprehensive guide on Paypal. This 10 pages guide covers several fundamental topics like:-

- What is Paypal?
- How does PayPal make money?
- What can I use PayPal for?
- How safe is PayPal?
- How do I get started with PayPal?

Sending and Receiving money from Paypal

Paypal fees are the same for all accounts – Personal, Premier, and Business.

While purchasing:- It’s free to pay. But when you are getting paid then Paypal charges you 1.9% to 2.9% + $0.30 USD + additional for cross border payments and currency conversion.

While doing personal transfer:- Free when the money comes from PayPal balance or bank account. 2.9% + $0.30 USD when the money comes from a debit or credit card or PayPal Credit (the sender decides who pays this fee).

Have a look at these links for Paypal Fees:-

Solution: Google Adsense not showing on my website blog

Mukesh — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:06:36 +0000

I used to have google adsense in my blog but they suddenly disappeared these days. I don’t see the adsense in my blog. Instead, I see ads stating ‘Microfinance Empowers‘ in some of my adsense block. Others are empty.

I googled the web and found the following cause and solution:-

Problem:

I used to have adsense showing in my website and blogs but I use to have adsense showing on my website and blogs but recently they don’t show on websites again instead what i see is this their microfinance stuff “Microfinance Empowers”.

Cause:

Since April 2009 it has been a term of service that Adsense publishers have a data protection compliant privacy policy on their site(s). Those who do not have such a policy often find that their ads turn to public service ads.

Solution:

In your adsense report page, you will see the following text highlighted in red:

Your pages are displaying Public Service Advertisements (PSAs) because you haven’t yet verified your PIN and/or phone number. See the Payment History page for more details.

You should verify your PIN Information in order to show adsense like before.

You will see the following notification about PIN Information highlighted in red:

As part of our effort to protect the accounts of AdSense publishers, we have mailed a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to the payment address entered in your account. This PIN must be entered on the PIN Information page before any payments can be issued to you.

In the meantime, your account remains active, and you may continue to show ads and accrue earnings. If you have not received your PIN within 3 weeks, you may request that it be resent.

Please use the link below to enter your PIN or to request a reissue:
PIN Information page

Google will mail Personal Identification Number (PIN) to the payment address entered in your account.

You can request PIN from this link: https://www.google.com/adsense/pinentry

Be sure that you have correct Payee information entered. You can edit Payee information from this link: https://www.google.com/adsense/account-edit

The PIN information for your account will be mailed to you by google within 3-6 weeks after your request for PIN.

When you get the PIN card sent to you by Google, you can enter the PIN in the PIN Entry section of this page: https://www.google.com/adsense/pinentry

After that, you can see adsense in your site as before.

Hope this helps and thanks for reading.

Update (23rd March 2010): I got the PIN verification number from google. Now, the Public Service Ads (PSA) are gone from my site. :)

How to setup Google AdSense for your website

Mukesh — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:17:48 +0000

This article will provide you step by step guide to setup Google AdSense.

Follow the steps below and start earning money with Google AdSense.

1) Log in to http://adsense.google.com with your gmail account.

2) Click the “AdSense Setup” tab.

3) Choose adsense type that you want to set up. There are two types of adsense. One is “AdSense for Content” and the other is “AdSense for Search”. You can find “Referrals” ad for now. But Referrals ads will be retired during the last week of August 2008.

4) I will be illustrating on “AdSense for Content”. So, click “AdSense for Content” link.

5) Now, you have the option either to choose Wizard setup or Single page setup. By clicking the “Single page” link, you will get the form fields in a single page so that you can fill at once and setup your adsense. But it would be easy to explain and understand by going through the “Wizard” way, i.e. page by page or step by step.

6) Don’t click the “Single page” link. Let’s go step by step through “Wizard”.

7) Ok, now you have to choose your Ad Type. If you just want to display google ads as links then choose “Link unit”. If you want to display ads containing text, links, and images then choose “Ad unit”. Let’s choose “Ad unit”. It is chosen by default. So, let’s proceed further. Click the “Continue” button.

8 ) Now, you have to choose Ad Format and Colors. There are different Ad Formats. You can view them at https://www.google.com/adsense/adformats . Select any one of your choice.

9) Now the coloring part. You can either choose from one of the pre-designed color palettes, or you can create your own. It would be easy to create our own. Just choose the border color, title color, background color, etc. according to your preferences. You can view the sample present at left as soon as you make any change in the border or title or background color.

10) Choose your AdSense corner style. Then click the “Continue” button.

11) Now you have to Choose Ad Channels for your AdSense. Channels enable you to view detailed reporting about the performance of specific pages and ad units. By assigning a channel to a combination of pages or ad units, you could track the performance of a leaderboard versus a banner, or compare your motorcycle pages to your automobile pages. View more about channels at

https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9868&ctx=sibling

12) Click “Add new channel”. A popup box appears. Add your channel name. Then click the “Continue” button.

13) Now, give your AdSense unit a name and click “Submit and Get Code”.

14) You will get the AdSense code something like this :

15) Copy the code in your webpage. The AdSense unit may take up to 10 minutes to display after the time of creation.

Thank You.

Google is retiring AdSense Referrals

Mukesh — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 09:10:23 +0000

Today, I got an email from adsense-noreply@google.com with the subject “We are retiring AdSense Referrals”. It says that during the last week of August, the AdSense referrals feature will be retired for both AdWords advertiser products and Google products. Beginning in late August, any remaining referral ads on your site will no longer work, and will appear as blank space on your website. In order to prevent a decrease in your AdSense earnings, replace all referral ad code on your sites with AdSense for content ad code prior to the last week of August.

You may be worrying about your referral earnings. Don’t worry because if you complete the advertiser’s required action within 30 days of clicking on your ad, earnings will accrue to your account through the end of September.

For more details, visit

https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=14882

Here is the email sent by google:-

Hello,

Thank you for participating in the AdSense Referrals program.
We’re writing to let you know that we will be retiring the AdSense
Referrals program during the last week of August. We appreciate
your patience during this transition and here are some alternative
options to consider:

* Google Affiliate Network: As part of the integration of
DoubleClick, the DoubleClick Performics Affiliate Network will now
operate as the Google Affiliate Network for advertisers targeting
users located in the United States. Similar to the AdSense
Referrals program, the Google Affiliate Network enables publishers
to apply for advertiser programs and get paid based on
advertiser-defined actions instead of clicks or impressions. For
further details, please visit:
www.google.com/ads/affiliatenetwork.
* AdSense for content ads: If you have less than three AdSense
for content ad units on a page, you may wish to replace the
referral ad units with standard AFC ad units.

If you currently use referral ads, either to promote Google
products or offerings from AdWords advertisers, AdSense Referrals
code will no longer display ads beginning the last week of August.
We encourage you to take the following steps before the product is
retired:

* Remove the referral code from your site(s): Please take a
moment to remove all referral code from your sites before the last
week of August, so you can continue to effectively monetize your
ad space.
* Run and save all referrals reports on your desktop: Create
and save all reports related to the referrals program on your
desktop, so you continue to have access to your valuable campaign
information

Why is this happening?
We’re constantly looking for ways to improve AdSense by developing
and supporting features which drive the best monetization results
for our publishers. Sometimes, this requires retiring existing
features so we can focus our efforts on the ones that will be most
effective in the long term. For this reason, we will be retiring
the AdSense Referrals program. If you have any additional
questions, please visit our Help Center:
http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=14882

Sincerely.

The Google AdSense Team
