How to Apply to the Google Adsense Program
Applying for a Google Adsense account is quick and easy for any interested webmaster. Just point your browser to www.google.com/adsense and click on apply. Click on the drop down arrow under account type and select whether you're an individual or business. If you're not sure which one to choose, click on the question mark to the left. Next, select your country or territory.
Under website information, it asks for your primary URL. If you have your own website, list it here. If you are using a blogging site such as writingup.com or bloggingparty.com that URL goes here.
Select your website's primary language. Google adsense supports Chinese (simplified), Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.
Select the product you want on your pages. Adsense for Content means you will have advertising targeted to the content on your pages. For instance, if you write about flooring, you might have carpet ads on your page. Adsense for Search is for you to add a Google search box to your pages. To maximize your Google Adsense earnings, you will want to have both.
After that, it's just the regular contact information and you're all set. You should receive an email in 2 or 3 days letting you know if your application is approved.
Do I Have to Pay Taxes on My Google Adsense Earnings?
Google Adsense is required to collect tax information from those who participate in the program. If you're a business, you'll need to put your EIN number on your application. If you're an individual, all you'll need is your social security number. If you don't have that information when you initially sign up, you can still apply for the Google Adsense program. But be advised that Google Adsense will withhold payments to you until they receive your tax information.
While Google does not withhold taxes or provide any tax advice, they will send you a 1099 once your earnings reach a certain amount. Of course, if you are a Non-US business and have no activity in the United States, you will not need to provide this information. For more tax information regarding the Google Adsense program, visit the Google Adsense Support site. For other tax-related questions or concerns, you can log onto www.irs.gov.

Making a Money Making Media Website
Weather you want to publish home videos or tutorial videos in any subject the price to publish them on the web can be pricy. Videos, especiacially high quality videos, can eat up alot of bandwidth. I was charged over $400 for overusage of bandwidth on one of my video sites and then I stopped publishing videos right away. When choosing a host to host your videos you should consider several important factors: unlimited bandwidth, 100+ Mpbs connection, price, and the permission to host videos.
Some sites offer unlimited bandwidth in dedicated servers (servers reserved for only one site); however, the connection on the server may be 10 Mpbs, 20 Mbps, or somewhere around there. When I signed up with a dedicated server with 10 Mpbs my site was very slow and I lost alot of customers. I get over 2000 unique hits per day so bandwidth and speed was very demanding. Hosting sites do have plans with fast unlimited bandwidth but hosting videos and music are prohibited due to the overusage of bandwidth.
In reality, there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth becuase then it would cost the hosting sites tremendous amount of money to run their hosting businesses. “Unlimited Bandwidth” is used to attract customers who do not plan on making a site with videos and music. If you get a host that offers a connection with 100 Mpbs or above then the host should be considered for your business. 100 Mbps should be enough speed for an average media site. With a good connection this leads to the price of the hosting. Some hosts only offer that amount of speed on dedicated servers that are allowed to have videos and music; usually the price to host such media content is $70 or above per month.
If you have enough money to invest you should consider dedicated servers. If you want to host media content you should ask the host before signing up with them. Some hosts have virtual servers (servers that have more than one site) which have excellent speed; however, they will disable, delete, suspend, or even ban your site from their servers if your site takes too much bandwidth or power from them. Making a media site is very demanding and it is very costly. I found IICInternet.com to be a good hosting company that allows you to host almost anything. Currently they are offering unlimited space and unlimited bandwidth with 1000 Mpbs connection for only $39.99 a month. This is an incredible deal. I hosted my sites with them and I have been with them for two years.
Their support team is not the best; however, if you have good experience in web site making then you should be ok. With experience I found two solutions that are perfect for those who don’t want to spend that much money or worry about bandwidth and speed. YouTube.com and MegaUpload.com. YouTube requires mpg format and avi format for uploading your videos. And if you do not have director’s account then your videos are limited to be 100 MB or less in size and 10 minutes or less in length in order to be published. YouTube members who are directors have no limitation in videos size or video length so, you should apply to be a director. It’s best to make your site first and apply for a directr’s account since it’s free to sign up and it’s risk free. MegaUpload.com is perfect solution for direct downloading.
I recommend you sign up with their on-time-fee premium account for $99.99 for LIFETIME membership. Their premium account is an excellent investment for your media site. You can upload a file up to 2000 MB in size. Or if you have your files stored away somewhere on the web you can transfer it with the FTP/HTTP connection in one simple step. If you play your cards right you can take that $99.99 that you invested in MegaUpload.com and make it into $10000+ in a month. Read More..

Making Your Web Site Pay With Adsense
Did you know that you could turn the tables on Google and actually use its search engine to generate money?
Google Adsense pays you money in exchange for being allowed to publish paid-for ads on your web site. The clever thing is that the ads are related to what your users are looking for on your site. If used correctly they can both enhance your site and make you money.
So how does it work? Google provides you with its AdSense HTML code, which you place on your web pages. Then, Google automatically “reads” your pages and decides on the best ads to display.
It uses a sophisticated algorithm that includes such factors as keyword analysis, word frequency, font size, and the overall link structure of the web. It says it knows what a page is about and can precisely match Google ads to each page.
AdSense also uses geo-targeting to serve Google ads to your pages that are specific to a user's region and language, based on their IP address. This means that the ads that are served to a user from Australia may be different than those that appear for a user from Canada.
If a visitor clicks on one of the ads they get taken to the advertiser’s web page and you get paid cash – easy!
Well, not quite. First you must have a site with plenty of visitors, otherwise it isn’t worth the effort. Secondly, your page must be set up in such a way that Google stands a chance of working out what you are trying to promote or sell. In essence, you need to look at your page title, headings and initial copy to make sure that Google matches the right ads to your page.. Read More..
