Google Screws Over It’s Publishers Again - They Drop Referrals Program

I just got this surprise email from Google adsense that they are retiring all their referrals program at end of August.

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

This isn’t the first time Google has screwed over their advertisers. You might have remembered where one day they decided to dramatically change the payout structure of their affiliate program for Adsense. While I have seen many affiliate merchants change their payout terms on a whim, I think for a large company like Google to change it radically 6 months ago and then drop it completely today, just shows you what kind of company they are.

There were a lot of people who relied on them, building websites and taking weeks to do it around referrals programs. They figured that Google referrals network would be around and that they could trust Google. I’m glad I never got heavily into Google Referrals. I never cared for it from the start nor do I care for Google that much anyways. Now some have to completely change their sites or lose all their affiliate income because they can’t use Google Referrals network or even promote the adsense referral program. Personally, ive been distancing myself from Google for many months now, and if they ever restart their adsense referral program again with Doubleclick I will have nothing to do with it.

How many sites should the average webmaster create?

One common question, especially among those new to creating websites, is how many websites should a person have? Well you have to look at many factors. If you have a huge advertising budget and are creating a online commercial store, then probably one or 2 should be fine. If you’re creating content driven sites such as blogs, directories, forums, then you probably want to create quite a few. The more websites you create the more income in the long run you can make. The most a reasonable person could handle is probably around 5 to 15, depending on how many hours you want to work and how frequently you want to update the content.

The internet is getting more saturated and you have to remember that a lot of webmasters, who started back in the 90’s, have now finished those sites and are working on new ones. So here you are in 2008 thinking 5 websites is a lot, whereas some already have 5 under their belt by the year 2000. So the only way to keep up with those people and get a equal piece of the traffic, is to work two or three times as hard to make up for your late start.

Another reason why it’s a good idea to create a bunch of websites is stability. If your depending on 2 or 3 content driven websites, a search engine algorithm change could shift your ranking and cause a huge dent in your salary. That is why I don’t suggest anyone quit their day job, until they have a really nice stable income, preferably across multiple websites. I think it should be more than three, across at least 2 very different topics.

If your just starting off as a webmaster, you shouldn’t worry about creating a bunch of websites, until you at least learned the ropes for a few months. There is a lot of things you learn about web design, search engine optimization, affiliate earnings, and other important and complicated things that take time to analyze and figure out on your own. If you make a bunch of websites, you will never really see it in depth, as if you had just concentrated all your energy on one website. Once you get the first site going and learn a lot, then you want to branch out. As you branch out and create new websites, you can replicate some of the things you found successful and avoid the things you didn’t. The first 6 months to one year should probably be your learning state and then after that you can go full steam ahead and create a website network.

Why blogging often doesn’t turn out as easy as people think

If you are like me and many other bloggers, you might have a tendency to be over optimistic about how easy it will be. I remember when I first started, I thought I could easily concentrate on a site or two work very hard and build it up, get massive traffic, and within a year or so collect a big paycheck monthly. Unfortunately, it hardly ever works in such a idealistic way.

First off, most of the bloggers who claim to be making thousands a month, started usually more than a couple years ago. I’m not going to make excuses, but they DID have it easier then ones starting out more recently. There are millions of blogs being started these days and it’s pretty rough to compete now. And not all the big guys like Pro Blogger and John Chow got there because they necessarily worked as hard as everyone. Sometimes its just by accident that they get some name recognition for some good articles, then suddenly people start linking to them and it’s a huge domino effect. In the case of John Chow he was paying people to link back to him and Google punished by removing rankings of his website for the keyword “John Chow”. In his case mostly has spread his reputation since then by name recognition and social networking, and I’m even talking about him right now, which just shows the power of it.

There is a lot of unplanned things that can happen too. For example, you may work hard on SEO and are on page 2 for a competitive word, but out of nowhere your rankings drop. You do good on social networking sites such as Digg, then suddenly your digg account is banned. You could be making substantial money with paid blogging and then all the sudden, you get your PR zeroed out by Google, making your income drop like a rocket. You can even get scammed or from an affiliate program. Blogger’s commonly also suffer from writer’s block, going weeks without a new idea. It’s easy to come up with ideas in the beginning, but post regularly for a few months and then it becomes hard. These are just some of the things that CAN happen to a blogger and these are just some of the things that I’ve personally experienced too.

While I don’t want to rain on anyones parade, what I will suggest is 3 honest things a newbie blogger should remember.

1) Try to create multiple sites. It’s much easier to make more stablemoney in the long run this way, then relying on one or 2 for all your income.

2) Use multiple advertising streams, so if something happens to one of them, you still will be making good money.

3) Realize you may have some setbacks, but in the long run you should keep increasing in traffic and website recognition, as long as you consistently keep at it.

Decision logic is the company behind restaurant software systems for all types of restaraunts, including fast food and fancy restaraunts. Their software can handle every aspect of your restaraunt model. The software is served over the internet on a web language called the ASP. To use the software you purchase a up-front fee and then a reasonable monthly service fee. Both of these fees are much lower than many of their competitors offering similiar software services. Decision logic is a name you can trust because not only do they have a 99% customer retention rate, but the best return on investment rating for hosted restaraunt software solutions.

Ultimate Tag Warrior Plugin

Ultimate Tag Warrior is a way to add tagging to your blog posts. It will give you a chance for users to easily bookmark your blog posts through such social networks including del.icio.us, Flickr, and Technorati.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to install as I had installed it and had problems getting it working. I probably could have figure it out, but I was only installing it to get another plugin to work because it was required.
