Google Ad Manager: A New Tool that will Improve Revenue

A few days ago, Google launched a new tool called Google Ad Manager to help website publishers manage their direct ads selling more effective.

If you run a content based website or blog, probably your main source of online revenue will depend on selling ads directly to advertisers . Selling ads directly to advertisers does involve management work and sale process and when your ad space were fully sold out, some advertisers may request to reserve an ad space for them if there is an ad space becomes available in future. If you do all the things manually, it will be time consuming and can easily make a mistake. The Google Ad Manager is seem to be created specifically for helping you solve these problems.

It will help manage your direct ads selling more easier and effective; and most importantly provide fast service to your advertisers. The tool is right for you if you want to consistently make money online by selling ads.

FusionCharts Google Gadgets

FusionCharts Google Gadgets is a great bit of software that creates widgets which allow you to make animated graphs for anything such as diet charts, weight graphs, inventory charts, infact pretty much anything you can think of.

You can use these widgets on web pages, blogs, Google pages and any other kind of website you may have and it is all for free.

The charts are rendered using Adobe Flash technology but you don't need to install anything on your system, it is all browser based, all you and your users will actually need installed is Abode Flash Player 6 (or above).



These charts are visible to around 98% of web users so it is sure to make sure it covers your whole audience.

There is no coding skills required, to make a chart all you need to enter in is the data and then select which kind of chart/graph you wish to display, you can select between 2D and 3D charts and graphs for your visitors to view.

The whole process of creating the widget is visual so as I already said there are no coding skills required.

Anyway why not give this great software a try, it takes the effort out of displaying information to your visitors.
