I just thought this would be a great find for Google AdSense users, especially those that run websites in a language other than English. In fact, I saw an advertisement in Hindi in my gMail Account yesterday. I don’t know if it was a random coincidence or they somehow managed to get my ethnicity (even though I never displayed it on the internet).

Nevertheless, Search Engine Roundtable has posted up how you can change your primary language for your Google AdSense formats:

• Log in to your account at https://www.google.com/adsense
• Click the My Account tab
• Click the Login Information [edit] link
• Select a language from the Display Language drop-down list
• Click Save Settings

A prime example of a website that should definitely use this, would be Deepika News. They are an unbelievably popular Indian news site, with tons of traffic each day. However, they are displaying English advertisements. Even though many Indians can read English, the CTR for these ads must be horrible. But, if it was in Hindi, the official language of India, more readers would click on the ads. Just goes to show what can be done to monetize your website if it’s in a different language.

So I was listening to Shoemoney’s Net Income show earlier this week and Shoemoney did ask him what users should do if a publisher is banned from Google AdSense.

Brian Axe: We actually have a very thorough public appeals process, if a publisher feels they were improperly banned from AdSense.

He also mentioned that if publishers notify them of suspicous activity first, Google would reward them by looking into the account and most of the people who look at the appeals have to use their “personal judgement”. I got a reply saying that Google AdSense didn’t like my arcade, so I don’t know how that’s good judgement.

Now this really pissed me off, since I sent them an E-Mail telling them of suspicous activity on my AdSense account. I couldn’t explain it, but the fact that I notified them first should have been taken into account. So basically, they rewarded my good will by banning me from their AdSense program.

I stopped listening to the show since I bet that Brian would simply start pulling lies out of his ass like that one. Feel free to listen to it if you want.

I recently came across a Google Video advertisement on a website while I was checking out the pagerank of one of my domain names (CPHosts.com) and I decided to use Wink Software to capture the advertisement on flash:

Watch Google Video Advertisement - Please note it takes around 45 seconds to load

It shows the interface to the video basically (this video was for pontiac). Video advertisements are only appearing on select publishers at the moment. From what I hear, it seems that Google plans on releasing Google Video advertisements as CPM-based (meaning someone watched the video or hit play). It’s just a rumor, but I think it would make more sense and it pays the publisher for having visitors who actually viewed the video.
