Terdapat beberapa faktor yang menentukan peluang anda untuk dipilih untuk kempen CPUV. Pihak Pengiklan (Advertisers) memilih blog yang mereka ingin iklankan berdasarkan beberapa faktor seperti berikut :

Disebabkan Pihak Pengiklan (Advertiser) senantiasa mempunyai pasaran khusus untuk kempen mereka, maka mereka akan memilih blog yang mempunyai pembaca blog yang berpadanan sebagai sasaran mereka. Jika pembaca blog anda termasuk di dalam kategori itu, maka peluang untuk anda dipilih untuk mereka adalah sangat tinggi. Kebanyakan bloggers yang tidak mengisi ruang 'survey' yang disediakan dengan betul berkemungkinan tinggi mendapati blog mereka tidak terpilih untuk mendapat kempen atau iklan daripada Advertisers. Ini kerana, 'survey' tersebut berfungsi untuk Advertisers kami mengenali isi kandungan blog bloggers kami dengan lebih baik. Mana-mana blog yang tidak mengisi ruang 'survey' selalunya tidak akan diendahkan oleh Advertisers kami kerana mereka tidak akan tahu jika kempen mereka bersesuaian atau tidak dengan isi kandungan blog tersebut. Oleh itu, kami amat menggalakkan anda mengemaskini laman 'survey' anda dari masa ke semasa untuk menaikkan peluang blog anda dipilih oleh Advertisers kami.

Kebersanan penempatan iklan juga sangat penting dalam industri pengiklanan. Pengiklan kami telah menghabiskan banyak wang untuk mencorakkan iklan mereka dan membeli ruang iklan. Mereka perlu memastikan mesej yang ingin mereka sampaikan kepada pasaran khusus mereka sampai dengan efektifnya. Oleh itu, mereka senantiasa akan membeli ruang iklan yang hanya telah dioptimumkan sepenuhnya dan diletakkan pada tempat yang berkesan. Kesimpulannya, anda hanya perlu meletakkan unit iklan anda pada tempat yang sepatutnya dan faktor ini akan memuaskan Pihak Pengiklan.
Sebagai contoh, sesuatu unit iklan "Skyscraper" seharusnya menjadi elemen pertama di sidebar dan bukan di tempat lain. Hal yang sama juga bagi unik iklan "Leaderboard" yang seharusnya menjadi elemen pertama yang dapat dilihat di saat pengunjung masuk ke laman web anda. Manakala, unit iklan "Large Rectangle" pula seharusnya ditempatkan betul-betul di bawah entri pertama anda. Jika unit iklan blog anda tidak mengikut garis panduan yang telah dinyatakan seperti di atas, hal ini akan banar-benar mempengaruhi keputusan Pengiklan untuk memilih blog anda dan berkemungkinan tinggi menyebabkan mereka memilih blog lain.

Selain itu, ruang unit iklan juga memainkan peranan penting bagi Blogger untuk dipilih dalam sesuatu kempen. Semua Pihak Pengiklan kami membuat pembahagian yang sama rata pada ketiga-tiga unit iklan kami iaitu, Leaderboard, Skyscraper, dan Large Rectangle setiap kali mereka beriklan dengan kami. Jika blog anda mempunyai kesemua 3 unit iklan di dalamnya, maka peluang anda untuk terpilih bagi sesuatu kempen adalah amat cerah.
Keahlian eksklusif memainkan peranan dalam kempen iklan kerana Pihak Pengiklan kami lebih cenderung untuk meletakkan iklan mereka pada blog-blog berstatus Glitterati kerana ini merupakan sebahagian daripada program hadiah kami untuk Bloggers kami yang paling setia dengan kami. Ahli biasa masih akan dipilih untuk kempen tetapi dalam angka yang lebih rendah berbanding dengan ahli Glitterati.

Oleh itu, anda perlulah mengambil semua inisiatif untuk meningkatkan peluang blog anda untuk mendapat perhatian daripada Pihak Pengiklan, dengan selalu mengemas kini blog anda, menempatkan unit iklan anda di tempat yang betul, dll. Jika nasib menyebelahi anda, dan Pihak Pengiklan memilih anda untuk kempen CPUV mereka, maka peluang untuk anda mendapat beberapa angka di ruang "Buffered Earning" adalah sangat cerah!

Semoga berjaya dan selamat berblogging! :)

At first, if you are a new blogger, you have to take it seriously. If you take it as a hobby, it will always remain as a hobby and will not make any profit for you. So, take it professionally and don’t treat it like your hobby. Then you have to make a marketing plan, you have to make to certain plans on which product you should create and sell, how to sell, how to promote your products etc. Now start it like a real business. Don’t limit yourself to traditional methods only, you can apply following things:-

• Manage a skill inventory: after creating a blog, you should add some skills into it. First, which things you can do properly, then add them in your skill inventory. When you will become two or three months older, you will gain some more skills through your experiences. Go to your skills inventory and add them, always keep your inventory updated, don’t miss out anything.
• Identify your best qualities: While starting a blog, you should know your good qualities, you have to identify what you are best at. Identify your amazing qualities, create products according to them and then add skills. People will not like your products if you are not really good at them.

Google's AdSense is the best monetizing source for blogs and websites but the problem is that it is not much easy to get and retain a publisher account with AdSense. Google either doesn't accept blogs and websites easily in their publisher revenue program or accounts are disapproved later when publishers are found violating any TOS of the program. Today we will learn why AdSense rejects accounts and how you can get your AdSense account approved easily for your website or blog.

How to Get Your AdSense Account Approved

Beginner bloggers and website owners apply for AdSense soon after launching their blog or website but most of the times, their account isn't approved by Google. If you are among those and looking for any solution, why AdSense is not approving your account, consider below discussed points and ensure that your online content is perfect for monetizing through AdSense.

Traffic is the Most Essential

If your blog and website have a decent and constant traffic then you must not face any difficulty in getting an AdSense account. When we talk about the traffic, another aspect is also necessary to be considered and that is the organic traffic. I see many blogs and website which receive enough traffic but the sources are mostly referral. i.e. social networks. and such sites don't deserve for AdSense. While reviewing the application, Google critically looks over your content that either it receives targeted traffic or not.

Here, you may ask that why Google looks for organic traffic. The answer is simple, AdSense promotes products of advertisers and your blog will be able to get success with AdSense only if it receives interested customers. i.e. targeted traffic from search engines. So before applying for AdSense, ensure that your blog or website is receiving most traffic from search engines.

Niche Also Decides the Success With AdSense

When we talk about the success with AdSense, two factors are important. First, the niche decides how much you can earn with AdSense. With some niches, you earn good with AdSense and with some other, the earnings remain low. In addition to earnings, the niche also decides either AdSense accepts your blog or website in its program or not. For example, if you have a website at which visitors can watch movies and videos, then you can't monetize it through AdSense.

Website / Blog Template Layout May Also Make a Difference

Where templates play important role in defining CTR of your ads, they are also crucial in getting an AdSense account approved. If the layout of your blog or website is clean, navigation is well structured and search engines can easily parse all the content, then AdSense will show more relevant ads and your earnings will remain high. Additionally, poorly designed blogs and websites may fail to get even an approved AdSense account. So to get and retain AdSense, ensure that your blog or website's design and structure is good.

Adult Content is Prohibited

In TOS of AdSense, it has been declared that you can't monetize any adult online content with AdSense. It doesn't mean that only adult sites are not eligible to get AdSense, but if your content has Google banned words, it may create hurdles in approval of your AdSense account or you may lose the account after approval. While writing content, ensure that you are not using any of these words. Also strictly moderate comments to keep bad words away from your site. In addition, give links to external sites wisely. A single link to any adult or illegal website can snatch AdSense account from you.

Don't Try to Trick Google

Google is extremely smart, so never try to trick it. Many publishers try to boost their earnings by unethical practices but as a result, they lose their AdSense account. Only focus quality in your content. Where low quality content is discouraged by visitors, AdSense also doesn't like it. Fruitless websites and blogs are rejected by AdSense. So despite of trying to trick Google, work harder to develop your online content. You will get success in long run. Good luck!
