Question:
Google Ad sense and Wordpress.com Help!?

Me and my friends have started a wordpress.com blog. It will basically be directed towards students (particularly for our school), so it'll probably get good views and all.

Now, I've heard that by using Google Adsense, I can place ads on my website and generate funds from it. I have a few questions regarding that.

One thing you should know, before you start saying stuff like "Google adsense can't be used on wordpress", I will be changing the domain to .com by paying the specific amount that is required by wordpress.

Here are my questions...

1. Wordpress allows me to register a domain for $17 per year. So, do I get the rights to place ads?
2. Does Google Adsense still work in Pakistan? What are the requirements for placing ads? (If Google adsense does not work anymore, please suggest another method).
3. How many funds can be generated per click?
4. Are the funds from Adsense (or any other service) transferred to paypal directly? Or do I have other options?
5. Is adsense reliable?
6. Once the year ends, what will happen? Will the ads be removed?
7. What is 'pagerank' and how is it determined?

You cannot use adsense on *wordpress.com* regardless of what you do. You will need to pay for hosting and have a standalone install from wordpress.org:

1. No. See above.

2. It's a good idea to read the terms of service and guidelines for adsense. You can also ask in their forums.

3. No way to tell, but think pennies.

4. Check adsense docs.

5.Definitely.

6. They stay till you take them down.

7. Pagerank is unimportant in the grand scheme of things. In fact, ignore it. One less stressor.

Their policy seems to say that you need your own hosting ( away wordpress.com) in order to run Adsense ads, using a custom domain name on their hosting may not do.



http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/



Most basic hosting services include easy wordpress installers, using your own hosting frees you to do any advertising you want, Adsense is far from the best paying revenue source.



The going rate for .co domains is more like $11 through godaddy or namecheap (search for discount coupon codes)



Consider having no ads until the sites starts getting decent traffic, perhaps at least 50-100 visitors a day, ads don't help search ranking and turn away some visitors. You may need tens of thousands of visits to earn the $100 min Adsene payout.

1. If you have your own domain, plus "web hosting" services and you place you Wordpress blog on that hosting server then yes, you can do with it what ever you like. Yes, with Domain+Hosting+Blog on "your hosting account", yes you get the "rights".



2. Pakistan? Maybe, but you have to set up the site and "Apply" first,

3. Cost Per Click is not something you can just "know". The advertise gets to say how much they want to spend, the relevance of the ads to the content and many other factors can play a roll in how much you actually earn.



4. Google outlines the payment options here:

https://support.google.com/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=1316579&answer=65090&parent=1250105&rd=1#1



5. Adsense is very reliable, along with many other Google products. The main point is having a quality site, quality content but absolutely abiding by the Terms of Service agreements or get banned, forfeit all earnings and denial to ever participate again perhaps!



6. Ads will run as long as the terms of service are followed, your hosted site is reachable and the adsense code is properly placed on your site.



7. Page Rank is a Google patented term describing the value of your site within their ranking system. Page Rank is calculated by Google's proprietary secret formula. The do not disclose all details. The best known way to raise your PageRank is with backlinks. However, no longer does just any backlink suffice. The backlinks must come from a reputable site of similar (but not duplicate) content and have a valuable page rank of their own. Link trading works but you have to be wise. You also need to ensure your Search Engine Optimization is up to par. http://www.seo-your-site.com/helpful-tools/



Page Rank is also factored into SEO, again - Google uses more than 200+ areas in which your site is scored and they do NOT disclose the secrets. They recommend you follow the Google Webmaster Guidelines and use their Google Webmaster Tools in order to manage your site.



Another tricks is to pay for Google AdWords in hopes your site gets seen quickly and then other sites will often start auto-linking to you creating real backlinks without you doing a thing.



Good luck, hope it works out for you.
