For all of you who are looking for a simple explanation of Google Base, here you go…

Google Base is a place where you can easily submit all types of online and offline content. The items you submit to Google Base will be included in the Base directory and depending on your items relevance, can be posted in such places like Google, Froogle and Google Maps. The items you submit can include labels and attributes that help describe what you’re uploading so people can easily locate your items. Attributes are words or phrases that help describe the characteristics and qualities of your items. For any given attribute you may enter multiple values separated by commas. Labels are any keywords or phrases – such as recipe, event, or product – that can be used to classify or describe your item.

A great thing about Base is you do not need a website in order to submit your items. If you do not have a website, then Google will host it for free on a special web address. The items you submit can be included in two different ways. The first way is to use their online web form. This is used if you need to submit information for less than 10 items. The second way is to submit via a bulk upload file. This method can be used if need to submit 10 or more items.

All types of items can be submitted to Google Base, such as articles on e-Business, automobiles that are for sale or a research paper on the evolution in space travel. The choices are endless. Just be sure to abide by Google Editorial Policies and Program Policies.

Google Base is a great resource to help distribute and share information with others that you would not otherwise know how to reach. With Google Base, your information is almost instantly added and viewable by people searching for your items. Froogle has even been integrated with Google Base. Now products that need to be submitted to Froogle, are submitted through Google Base and no longer a separate program, like it was only a few months ago.

My opinion is to read up about Google Base and see how it can benefit your business. Begin submitting items to their appropriate categories and you will truly begin increasing your exposure, driving more hits to your site and simply getting your information into the eye of people looking for your items.

The reason for the enormous success of Google AdWords advertising program is that you are getting through to customers who are already searching for the product or service that your company offers. This a ‘pull marketing’ strategy meaning that the customer is coming to instead of your trying to attract him which understandably yields far better Return On Investment (ROI).

If you are using other methods of advertising such as TV/radio ads, flyers or banner ads you are showing your product to a very wide range of people however usually a very small percentage of them will have an interest in the products or services that you have to offer. It’s clear to see why these methods are labeled push marketing - it’s because you’re basically trying to convince them to buy.

Research shows that ROI from “push marketing” methods is consistently lower than with pay-per-click marketing via AdWords for example, where customers already have some interest when they start their journey.

Other advantages include:

Full control of the budget that you spend - it is entirely up to you how much you spend per day on Google AdWords.

Full control of the advert exposure and targeting - you can target specific geographical areas and set scheduling options. This means that now you have control of who see your advert and at what times of the day it will be shown.

Measurable ROI - Google AdWords offers a comprehensive system that will help you track your ROI with “AdWords Conversion Tracking”. This will allow you to see which keywords are producing sales and at what cost. In addition to this Google AdWords offers a complimentary package called ‘Google Analytics’ which will tell you everything that you might want to know about what visitors are doing on your website.

Massive exposure - Statistics show that more that 80% of internet shoppers rely on search engines to help them find what they are looking for. And you probably guessed it Google holds the largest market share with over 43% of the search engine market (2006, Search Engine Watch).

Google as a way to profit online? Absolutely true! I’m sure by now the majority of those on the internet have at least heard of Google AdSense, almost as sure as I am that anyone with a website has tried using AdSense at one point or another to earn revenue. AdSense is a very easy to use tool provided by Google that works in conjunction with Google AdWords to provide relevant ads on your website.

The way this works is pretty simple. A business pays for advertising on Google, then places ads to be shown in Google’s search results and on other websites. In turn, Google then places these ads according to their relevancy, into their search results and on websites that have partnered with Google through AdSense. Since most of Google advertising is done on a Pay-Per-Click(PPC) basis, Google gets paid each time someone clicks on an add. Websites owners that have partnered with Google through AdSense also receive a portion of Google’s profit each time someone clicks an ad displayed on their website. These transactions can range anywhere from a few cents to a few dollars depending upon how much a company is paying for advertising.

There are several “packages” or “systems” out there that promise to show you how to make thousands of dollars a month or per week even, just by using Google AdSense. I’m going to go ahead and break this down for you…even if you did make thousands of dollars a week (highly unlikely) using only Google AdSense, Google only sends out checks or direct deposits once per month. Thousands per month? This is actually a possibility if you have an extremely popular website. To give a reality check to these “packages” and “systems,” seriously take a moment and do the math. Just say that you have a blog that attracts 100 visitors per day, and your average profit per click is $0.20. If 100 percent of those 100 visitors each click an ad, your profits would average around $20 per day. This averages out to be around $600 per month. Still not too bad, but a far cry from thousands per week.

You don’t need some 20 to 50 dollar package to tell you how to do this…its really simple, and you wont get much more than this out of any of the packages for sale out there. Go to https://www.google.com/adsense/login/en_US/ and click on “Sign Up Now.” Follow the instructions, sign up for the account, wait for approval from Google. Once your AdSense account is approved, follow the instructions after logging in to get started. Answer a few questions from Google, tell them how you want ads to be displayed on your page, submit, and copy your HTML code provided by Google AdSense. Paste the code into your website. Ads will appear on your site, people click on the ads, you get paid. Its as simple as that.

Keep in mind that this is just a very brief overview of the “how-to,” but if you have questions or need to find information about performance and optimization of the ads, refer to Google’s AdSense help forums and the training material provided by Google. DO NOT waste your time and hard-earned money with any of the so-called proven “systems” as you will find that all the information, training, and advice is free and available to the public.

If you have any questions on this topic or any other topic that I have discussed, please don’t hesitate to ask!
