Most webmasters are looking at various sites to look for SEO services. Now what drives them to look for such services; answer is simple.

Google recently launched the AdSense Story Contest where publishers were asked to send in video of their experiences with AdSense. This contest received great response.

Now Google has announced the winner of the contest; Don Vandervort from
Hometips.com. Google has also announced that it would be sharing various videos from the publishers. Seems like would a good treat to watch for all webmasters who are monetizing their site through Google or other advertising programs.

About Don, Google shares that he started out in a backyard of his clubhouse. After converting the bottom floor of his sons' two-story tree-house into a small office, he launched HomeTips from that office in 1997 as an online portfolio to promote his books.

In 2003, Don heard about the Google AdSense program and started with it to generate some additional revenue for his venture. Don shares that initially the AdSense revenue was just sufficient to pay for his coffee bill or lunch.

The online world is rife with rumors that Google has been downgrading PR of the sites who have been selling links or doing paid reviews and selling links. Google page rank is a rating that Google assigns a site as a measure of importance that site has on the Net.

Though Google, in various releases, has indicated the formula for calculating the page rank, yet it remains shrouded in a mystery in the sense that a webmaster is able to reasonably guess it but not be very sure about it.

How much this page rank helps in getting traffic is also debatable, but two things are certain; one; that given all things same (which never are) a site with higher page rank would rank higher than other; and second; page rank does help in monetizing a site better whether by sale of links or otherwise valuation of a site.

If the online presence is critical to successful operations of your business, the web hosting provider needs to be chosen very carefully. Before selecting the web hosting provider, some facts as redundant power feeds, security features including physical security to the system, shopping cart or other utilities provided need to be known. I have intentionally missed out pricing as though it is important but comes after knowing about above features.

Compelled to provide cheaper hosting package due to increased competition, these days, many hosting providers resort to cutting of features while providing hosting. Some of these limitations in the package might prove expensive to a webmaster later on or may compromise the functionality of the site and thus affect traffic, which is ultimate goal of a webmaster.

Google first launched Video units in US and after testing the success of the same, now it has announced rolling out of video units over the next several days to English-language publishers in the UK, Ireland, and Canada.

Video Units are embedded customizable video players which you can host on your site to provide additional content to your visitors. These video carry non-intrusive ads that gel well your content and allow you chance to earn more. Publishers monetizing their site from adsense would be able to show videos from Google content partners as YouTube and can choose video by category.

Publishers can also opt to have video from selected category automatically targeted to their site, so that they have to work minimum to regularly update the content on their site. Publishers can also choose individual videos as per their choice.

As adsense publishers, we know that Google allows advertisers to select a site and bid for ad placements in that site. This feature had a problem that the ad could appear any where on the site.

To regular clients, Google allows three ad units on a page. Location of each ad unit could vary and different placement of the unit returns different click rate. To eliminate this problem, Google now has allowed ‘Placement Targeting’ of the ads. Existing adsense accounts are being updated and this feature is likely to be available soon to all the publishers.

This would allow Advertisers to target your site if they've determined a match between their offerings and the interests of visitors to your site. Advertisers can still target their ads to your entire site, but they can now also target your individual ad units or groups of pages based on how you’ve set up ad placements using custom channels.

Presently, if you wish to change color or ad-text or its borders etc, you need to manually replace the ad-code on all pages of your site. Not difficult, but an cumbersome exercise, especially for webmasters who are not programmers.

Google is soon going to offer an feature that would let a publisher easily manage his ad units from within his AdSense account. Google has not made this feature live yet, but it is soon going to be available to webmasters may be, towards middle of November.

With this new ad management feature your ad unit settings (such as colors and channels) for new AdSense for content ad units will be saved in your AdSense account every time you generate ad code. Then, if you'd like to change any of these settings in the future, all you do is make the update within your account and you would not need to manually replace the ad code on all of your pages.
