Last October, we introduced Western Union Quick Cash as a new payment method for a number of countries. We’re excited to let you know that we’ve now expanded this payment method to Bulgaria, Egypt, Lithuania, Morocco, and Taiwan. If you’re located in one of these countries, you’ll be able to pick up your AdSense payments in cash at your local Western Union agent. This payment method is free, and you’ll no longer need to wait for checks to arrive in the mail or to clear at the bank.

Please keep in mind that in order to pick up your payment, you’ll need to present a government-issued ID that matches your AdSense payee name. If you need to update or correct the payee name listed in your account, please fill out our online form. In addition, we’d like to note that payments by Western Union Quick Cash are only available to individual payee names, but not to businesses.

Signing up for payments by Western Union is a quick process – just follow these instructions. For more information about this payment method, including exchange rates and how to pick up your payments, we recommend visiting our Help Center.

Your articles in your website should be in certain qualities that would utilize online resources best, and, of course, turn visitors into affiliate sales. Here are the four types of articles your affiliate marketing site should have if you want to convert your visitors into affiliate commission.

Reviews
People need supporting information when they are interested to buy a product. But they don’t like to read sales pitch because they don’t believe it.

What they want is the real information about the product such as the pros and cons of the product, how it can help them and the opinion of people who have really used the product. So give them what they want. Provide honest and sincere information in the form of reviews. Tell them frankly the pros and cons; and the usefulness of the product. Place your affiliate links in the review to let your visitors check out the product.

As you will be writing true reviews about your affiliate products, so you need to choose only quality affiliate products to promote on your website.

Benefits
The successful Internet marketers always tell people to highlight the benefits instead of features of the product when selling online. What they say is right. So, besides publishing review, you can also write articles focusing on the benefits of your affiliate product. When the prospects become interested to a product, they should have known the features of the product and probably want to know the benefits of the product. So, tell them the benefits they will gain if they buy. Also, there will be other competition in the market. The other similar products may be good, or even better, features than the one you’re marketing. But if you can provide your target buyers with more benefits than the competitors do, the more likely will they purchase from you.

Product Comparison
If you are selling quality affiliate product and confident that the product is better than many other competitors product, then you may do product comparisons. But make sure you do it in the fairest way possible. Don’t highlight just all the drawbacks of the competition while highlighting your own product’s benefits. Tell the visitor the benefits of your competitors product, then compare in such a way that your product comes out on top.

News Briefs
Keep your affiliate marketing site updated with news briefs. You can include promos, developments, and previously unknown information about the product (such as “studies show that this product (benefits of the product)” or “Top Marketing groups regard this product as one of the most revolutionary products of the 21st century”). Keep your news briefs concise—don’t exaggerate it. If you are able to obtain new information about your product consistent, you may create a news highlight section on your affiliate marketing and post your updated news there.

These are the types of articles you should often publish on your website. You don’t have to focus on only a single topic every time; your article may sometimes be in combination of two to three topics such as articles that talk about both the benefits and product comparison at the same time.

Test what types of content are working well for your affiliate marketing program, or product then stick with the articles that work best and you can be on your way to earn a steady affiliate commission

The answer is that yes, we do allow this. But before you place your ad code on the same page or site as another publisher, here are a few important points to keep in mind:

• The maximum number of products per page will remain the same.
• If you don’t own the site, you’ll need to receive permission from the site owner to display your ads on their pages.
• We’re unable to divide earnings between accounts, so any revenue generated will be credited to the account associated with the ad unit that was clicked or viewed.
• Any shared site that displays Google ads must also comply with our program policies.
• You’re responsible for the content of any page where your ad code appears. Before placing your ad code on another publisher’s site, we recommend reviewing the site for any policy violations.

And one final tip before giving your code to another publisher — try using our Allowed Sites feature to monitor where your ads are appearing and keep your account in good standing.

Publishing a Knol is quite similar to publishing a blog post except the tone is more formal. You can insert related picture or image to your Knol and once your Knol created, readers are allowed to comment and rate your article in the Knol.

What Benefits You’ll Gain from Publishing Google Knols?

AdSense Ads is Allowed in Knols
Google said that the authors can choose to include AdSense ads in all their Knols. So, each of your Knols that attract traffic may earn you some AdSense ad revenue. But, if you are actively creating Knols that share useful content, it is possible to earn a nice AdSense income every month as you will have more Knols gaining traffic.

Get Free Google Traffic
The Google knol homepage http://knol.google.com gained thousands of quality backlinks in less than a week. It is expected that it will gain decent of backlinks just like the other two content sharing networks, Hubpages and Squidoo. Because of the huge amount of backlinks Hubpages and Squidoo have gained, they are now getting million of visitors from search engines like Google and Yahoo every month (I believe most are from Google).

This will happen to Google Knol as well. Google Knol will soon gain huge amount of backlinks and many of the Knols created by different authors will start ranking high on Google search engine and enjoy free Google traffic. Those who manage to get their knols ranked on a competitive keyword will receive steady traffic. They can include links in their Knols to direct these Google traffic to their website or blog or choose to monetize their Knols with AdSense ads so that these Google traffic can be converted into AdSense revenue.

Google Knol has their own content policy and term of service. You should read and understand them before creating a Knol to publishing your content. Google doesn’t allow spamming, any Knol that against their policy will be deleted

What this mean is that I will not allow to sell this blog. With the traffic and income I get now, I should be able to sell this blog for more than USD30,000 if I no longer want to blog anymore.

If you are serious to start a blog for making money online, you should register a custom domain name and host your blog on the custom domain. There are several benefits you can enjoy from hosting your own blog on your own domain name:

You Get Total Control
You will have full control over everything about your blog. You can transfer the domain name to any other hosting company if you find that your existing web host service isn’t what you want. Once your blog have built in consistent traffic and bring in good profit, people may start contacting you asking you whether you want to sell your blog. If the deal is good, you can immediate sell the blog.

Easier to Memorize
By hosting your blog on your own domain name, the visitors can remember your blog easier. A free blog domain name generally is long and hard to remember.

Better Security
You will get added security. As the domain name and the blog are owned by you fully, this means that you don’t have to face the risk of getting your suspended or even deleted. When using a free domain name on your blog, the company that provides you the free domain name can delete your blog anytime when they find that your blog content is against their policies.

You Make More Money Blogging
You give a professional image by having your own custom domain name and own logo. More people will contact you to find out whether you sell banner ads or text links which will mean more advertising revenue to your blog. I do get a lot of advertising inquiries from visitors of this free blog even though I didn’t tell any of my visitors that I sell advertising space, probably because this blog ranks high in Google. But, if this blog is hosted on my own domain, I would have get even more businesses
