Innovative Idea for Publishers: Adsense Search with Google Toolbar
Summary
Google Adsense offers various products, with contextual advertising leading in popularity among web publishers. Platforms like Digitalpoint frequently discuss the effectiveness of Adsense products, contrasting the success of contextual ads with lesser-utilized referral programs and Google search. But why is this so?
Understanding Contextual Ads
Contextual ads benefit publishers when visitors click on them. To improve click-through rates, ads are often designed to integrate seamlessly with the webpage's look and feel. By aligning with site content, these ads appear as relevant links, prompting interested visitors to click. Setting up these ads is a breeze, requiring only a quick copy-paste of JavaScript code.
The Challenges with Other Adsense Products
While contextual ads are straightforward and profitable, generating similar revenue from Google search and referrals is trickier. Google search implementation also requires basic code integration. However, unlike contextual ads, revenue from search is only earned when users both conduct a search and click on sponsored results. This multi-step process reduces potential earnings compared to a simple ad click.
Referrals pose an even greater challenge, despite potentially higher payouts. For instance, referring a new publisher to Google Adsense can earn you $100 if the referred publisher earns $100 within 180 days. This means steering a visitor to click on the referral link, sign up, wait for approval, implement ad products, and earn the qualifying amount?"all hurdles that complicate the revenue process.
The Firefox Referral Example
Another referral example is promoting the Firefox browser. Here, the publisher earns up to a dollar if a visitor clicks a link, successfully downloads, and installs Firefox. Convincing a visitor to go through these steps demands significant effort compared to the simplicity of earning through contextual ads.
Leveraging the Google Toolbar
How can publishers maximize earnings in this landscape? Consider utilizing the Google Toolbar. Even if a publisher's site isn't directly related to software, they can still promote it. For example, a dog-themed website could include a link saying, "We recommend searching about dogs using the Google Toolbar." Although the publisher doesn’t get paid for toolbar downloads, earnings ensue when users search through the toolbar and click on ads.
Google could facilitate this by creating a web-based control panel for publishers to generate customizable toolbar downloads. Already, there are tools for creating brandable toolbars, making this idea viable and potentially profitable for many publishers.
The Revenue Sharing Dilemma
The major hurdle remains revenue sharing. Implementing such an idea requires Google to share search revenue with publishers. Given the significant revenue Google generates from its sites?"$1.098 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005?"how much of that is Google prepared to share?
Integrating the Google Toolbar with Adsense creates an exciting opportunity for publishers, but balancing this with Google's revenue strategy is key.
