How To Become a Google AdSense Partner?

How many of you use Google AdSense as one of the, if not the only, monetization solutions for your site? I think I'm getting an overwhelming nod of affirmation. The fact is, Google AdSense has been the choice of almost every blogger and website owner at least once during the course of their online venture. And countless consultants and service providers have sprung up who have built their businesses with AdSense, and now help publishers succeed with AdSense. To help such successful service providers and publishers and to recognize their AdSense expertise, Google has launched the Google AdSense Certified Partner Program!

Certified AdSense Partners

Certified AdSense Partners are qualified professionals who are certified by Google to offer help and services to other AdSense publishers regarding their businesses. These partners have to meet rigorous qualification requirements, and are carefully selected by Google. At the time of this writing, as many as 13 professionals have been certified since the launch of this program, and more are going to be certified in the coming weeks.

AdSense Certified Partners set up, optimize and maintain AdSense accounts for their clients. They're required to demonstrate product knowledge by completing a certification examination, and their purpose is to help website owners to monetize content effectively with Google AdSense.

Benefits for partners

So what do professionals have to gain by joining this program? Well, as a start, they will be listed officially on the program's website (with a backlink!), and they will be given a program logo of their own. Besides, they will;
  • Benefit from Google AdSense training and the usage of the Google AdSense Certified Partner badge in their marketing collateral.
  • Be able to establish a relationship with the Google AdSense team and receive insights into the latest features.
  • Get access to marketing resources and tools to help them manage client accounts, and will join a group of accredited companies
  • And a lot more!

Requirements

The requirements for this program are tough, but the benefits are manifold. You can view the full list of requirements here, and you must follow all of them in order to get access to the AdSense Certified Program.

If you’re a prospective Certified Partner or a publisher interested in the services offered by these Certified Partners, you can visit the program website or Google Help Center for more information.

All the best :)

How To Setup AdSense


Being a predominantly blogging and online income blog, one of the most common questions we get asked here at MBT is, what is the best AdSense Ad Configuration for generating maximum revenue. In all honesty, this question is always very difficult to answer, since the description of 'best configuration' can be subjectively varied from blog to blog, meaning its hard (probably impossible) to create a set-up that works for every blog. The best way to address this issue is to try out various configurations on your blog, and decide by hit or trial which is best.

The answer is Google AdSense, the application Google uses to help publishers of websites make money. While Google is not the only company offering a program like AdSense, it currently controls about 75% of the market. By placing ads on websites, people can earn a percentage of the revenue that Google makes for sponsoring the ads. The companies that want to advertise pay Google, which then pays the hosting website.
