Buat Duit Dari Goggle Adsense Dengan Teknik Ini

Tajuk: Buat duit dari Google adsense dengan Teknik ini

Program google adsense adalah satu program yang sangat menguntungkan. Ini kerana, melalui program ini kita mampu menjana pendapatan tanpa perlu membuat sebarang jualan. Melalui program ini, kita bukannya dibayar komisen iaitu selepas berjaya membuat sebarang jualan tetapi hanya dengan setiap klik pada iklan adsense yang kita letakkan di web kita.

Selepas kita menyertai program adsense ini, kita akan diberikan akaun kita sendiri. Di dalam akaun tersebut kita boleh mengambil kod iklan adsense yang mempunyai id kita sendiri. Melalui id itulah google akan dapat mengesan jika ada sebarang klik yang berlaku di iklan adsense kita tadi. Cukup bulan, apabila nilai pendapatan terkumpul cukup $100, Google akan bayar duit kita! Best kan?

Mungkin ada juga yang bertanya, bagaimana pembayaran dilakukan? Mudah sangat untuk mengambil duit anda tu. Google menawarkan pembayaran menggunakan western union. Ada juga pilihan menggunakan cek. Tapi bagi saya, western union adalah yang terbaik. Ini kerana kita boleh keluarkan duit tersebut di bank-bank tempatan dengan mudah. Macam keluarkan duit dari akaun simpanan kita. Saya sendiri pernah menggunakan bank CIMB dan Public Bank untuk mengeluarkan duit adsense saya. Saya dapat duit tersebut dalam 3 minit selepas berdiri di kaunter.

Namun, yang menjadi masalah utama bagi sesiapa yang mengikuti program google adsense ni adalah trafik & harga per klik iklan adsense tersebut. Soal trafik tu memang kita semua maklum bahawa untuk sesebuah laman web bisnes tu berjaya (sama ada jualan, affiliate ataupun adsense), mestilah mempunyai trafik yang baik. Tapi selain faktor trafik, faktor harga per klik iklan adsense yang muncul di web/blog kita juga memainkan peranan yang besar sebenarnya.

Sebagai contoh, jika anda mendapat 10 klik yang setiap satunya bernilai USD $0.02 maka anda baru mendapat jumlah keseluruhan USD $0.20 dari 10 klik tadi. Tapi kalau harga 1 klik yang anda dapat bernilai USD $0.70, daripada 10 klik pada iklan tersebut anda sudah pun berjaya mendapat USD $7.00! Anda boleh nampakkan bezanya?

Nyata di sini, selain menumpukan untuk mendapatkan trafik sahaja kita juga perlu berusaha untuk mendapatkan iklan yang mahal. Tapi, bagaimana caranya? Adakah dengan hanya melihat senarai list harga keyword yang mahal dan kemudian memilih salah satu daripadanya untuk dibuat blog? Kalau itu cara anda, percayalah hanya iklan murah yang akan muncul. Sebabnya, orang lain pun menggunakan cara yang sama dengan anda. Akhirnya, iklan yang mahal akan pergi ke laman-laman yang lebih TUA dan OTAI dan iklan-iklan murah sajalah yang sudi muncul di blog anda.

Saya mempunyai pengalaman lebih daripada 3 tahun dalam bidang adsense ini dan telah mencuba pelbagai cara untuk berjaya di dalam adsense. Kini saya kongsikan rahsia yang selama ini saya gunakan sendiri. TEKNIK saya menghasilkan blog yang membawa iklan-iklan adsense yang lebih mahal daripada biasa.

History

History of Terengganu began long before the establishment of Melaka sultanate. The archaeological evidences found in Bewah Cave in Kenyir Lake proven that this state has already been resided since 4,000 B.C. However, the Sultanate of Terengganu began only in 1724 with Sultan Zainal Abidin as the first sultan for this state.

During the early sultanate period, although Siam claimed that Terengganu was part of its dominion resulted from the Bunga Emas and Bunga Perak sent by the latter in every 3 years, it was said that the gift was actually a present of courtesy and token of friendship but not tributes as to prevent the interference of British in the state’s administration. Siam handed over Terengganu to British in 1909 after signing the Bangkok Agreement but this was rejected by Terengganu. Another agreement was then signed between Terengganu and British in 1910 and thereafter Terengganu officially recognized the appointment of a British Representative with the condition the British agent was not empowered to interfere in the administration of the state. The British who was not satisfy with their status continued to look for ways to get involve in the internal affairs of the state. In 1919, their attempt finally succeeded. Another agreement was signed between British and Sultan Muhammad. Terengganu officially accepted a British advisor, seek and follow his counsels in all administrative matters except religion issues.

Nevertheless, the involvement of British had brought to resistance from the people. The patriotic awareness had spread among the state and led to the establishment of Association of Young Malays (Kesatuan Melayu Muda, KMM) in 1937. A series of campaigns was held by KMM during 1940-1941. In 1942 when the Japanese took the control of Peninsular Malaysia, KMM was dissolved and Terengganu was under the administration of Japanese Army until 1943 when the governance authority was transferred to the Thai Army. Thai administration remained in Terengganu until Japan conceded defeat to the alliance in August 1945, then it was again back to the hand of British until the Federation of Malaya achieved her independence on 31 August 1957.
