In the article, How to Fail at Online Business – Neglect Niche Marketing, he explains why franchise businesses and MLM schemes fail on the Internet due to (1) competition and (2) fewer geographical market limitations.

According to Dr. Wilson, the answer is in researching and clearly defining a market niche with sufficient demand but without overwhelming competition. Nichification is the key.

But the truth is, after a publisher has placed Adsense ads into the web page, the ads’ formatting and placement is seldom tested and altered to get more clicks. As a result, the ad’s true earning power is never realized.

YieldBuild is a new service that provides automatic yield management for Google AdSense, Yahoo! Publisher Network (YPN) and eBay AdContext. Their software algorithmically changes ads format and place to analyze what can be done to maximize text ad revenue.

They created an optimization system that allows for ongoing testing and improvement with minimal involvement on the part of the publisher. The system automatically determines what should be the best placement and appearance of your ad. A process called behavioral formatting is used to optimize the layout of ads. Behavioral formatting automatically adjusts the ad’s placement and appearance according to the characteristics of the visitor.

The system continually switches layouts, color and networks, looking for the highest performing configuration. According to YieldBuild, it takes about 100,000 impressions to train the system. As users become unresponsive to the ads, the system is supposed to switch in a more profitable combination of layout and networks.

YieldBuild is free to try for 30 days. After that, YieldBuild’s share is 3% of impressions.

Someone wrote that “your AdSense business will not be the same after you have visited Dr. Hillenbrand’s website that is currently attracting AdSense publishers worldwide”.

In fact, Patrick Hillenbrand made $10,852 in just the first month using No search engine traffic at all. His AdSense Decoded videos deliver useful comprehensive answers how to instantly achieve sustainable profits from AdSense even without having access to any initial organic traffic.

And as if that is not enough AdSense Decoded reveals additional AdSense driven revenue streams that easily plug in to any AdSense business to monetize AdSense publishers’ pages much further.

This is a brand new concept. It’s called “AdSense Brokerage” (NOT arbitrage), and it is currently creating a whole new chapter in how to make money with AdSense. “AdSense Decoded” shows publishers how easy it is to monetize on every single visitor, not just once but multiple times.

Dr. Patrick Hillenbrand also validly argues that there is a paradigm shift in AdSense marketing. He says:

Niche Targeting is out! Lost are those guided in that direction.

Tomorrow’s top AdSense earners know that it is far better to target well paying advertisers than high paying ads, as street smart AdSense publishers and advertisers know that supply and demand is everything.

AdSense Decoded is advocating a smart strategy: As internet visitors are becoming ever more demanding to be informed and not sold to, gone are the days where an AdSense Publisher could just feed people ads to be clicked on. AdSense Decoded addresses and teaches exactly how these new marketing conditions are best met.

Whether you are new to AdSense or a seasoned publisher AdSense Decoded delivers an invaluable step-by-step video roadmap how to instantly improve your current AdSense earnings by using techniques previously only known to only a handful of top earners, Patrick Hillenbrand included.

What Is Pay Per Lead (PPL)?

The two monetization models that you are most probably already familiar with are:

• Pay Per Click
• Pay Per Sale (affiliate sale)

What Is Pay Per Click (PPC)?

You display PPC ads on your web pages. A visitor clicks on an ad. You make money per click. This is usually a small amount, mostly in cents.

The visitor’s action is clicking.

What is Pay Per Sale (PPS or Affiliate Sale)?

You display an affiliate ad/link for Product ABC on your website. A visitor clicks on the ad/link and is taken to Product ABC website. If the visitor buys Product ABC, you make an affiliate commission.

The visitor’s action is buying. It’s a cash-conversion action. The visitor has to buy in order for you to make money.

What about Pay Per Lead?

It is somewhere between these two monetization models:

PPC – PPL – PPS

Here’s how it works… very simple:

You display Pay Per Lead ads on your website. Visitors click on the ads and
are taken to the merchants/advertisers’ websites.

The merchant usually offers the visitor something valuable for free, in return for taking some form of action, which does not include buying anything. Pay-per-lead programs are generally designed to promote some type of free product or service.

You make commissions for every person who performs the non-cash conversion action.

Again, people do not have to buy anything in order for you to make money!

What Types Of Action Are Visitors Required To Take?

Here are some:

• Signing up for a newsletter or opt-in list. Visitor signs up, you make money/pay-per-lead commissions.
• Taking a poll or filling out a survey. Visitor participates in a survey, you make money/pay-per-lead commissions.
• Supplying contact information like a name or email address. Visitor fills in his/her contact info, you make money/pay-per-lead commissions.
• Filling a form. Visitor fills in a form, you make money/pay-per-lead commissions.
• Joining a free program. Visitor joins a free program, you make money/pay-per-lead commissions.
