KSP:

I think people care more about things that are closest to them. With this question posted in KSP website. I think the most popular answer would be to ensure our child/ren to do well in the SA. Others should be just under good to know or have categories.

Hi KSP, guess you are right, most if not all parents with primary school going kids will be concern abt SA... for those of us without primary school kiddies .. aim at collecting kiasupoints for the Auction...

I have been thinking…I cannot vote…mine is under others.


Keeping up with the latest and greatest about parenting because parenting is a journey not a task that has an end-point.

Quick lesson in Google adsense. Useful for all aspiring SAHPs planning to make some money off the web.

Adsense basically allow media owners (portals like KSP.com) to sell ad space to advertisers, with Google deciding on which advertiser will appear on what ad space. Media owners have very little say as to who they want the ad space to go to: it depends on how much the advertiser is willing to pay Google just to be referred to whenever a keyword they target appears on a media owner's site.

So suppose an advertiser is selling some brain training service, and he thinks he wants to focus on people looking for the keywords \"BRAIN TRAIN\". So he bids for the keywords \"BRAIN TRAIN\" at a certain price in terms of page impressions CPM (he pays based on the number of times his ad appears) or click throughs CPC (he pays when users actually click on the link to go to their own sites). CPC is worth a lot more than CPM since it represents a definite sales lead given by the media owner.

Google will then use its powerful search engine to match the ads to the media owner. This is where the accuracy of the search engine is very important. There are cases where it gets thrown off, for example, when we talk about event dates on a page, sometimes, Google translates it to mean \"dating\" and then flood the page's advertisements with dating ads which becomes embarrassing for a parenting portal like ours. So we have to be quite vigilant in monitoring the ads and set up filters to tell Google not to include specific websites that we do not like. And that is actually quite painful for us because it is already not easy to get Google to send high valued ads to the site.

It's pretty tough to get any revenue from Google adsense as they pay peanuts for CPM and a bit more for the first click through per user (ie. if a user clicks many times on the same ad, the subsequent times are not \"counted\"). Most blog sites will earn their first USD100 from Google after more than six months in existence. KSP.com is doing a bit better, but no, we can't feed a single staff on Google adsense alone

So you are right that members can help us by clicking on the links, but while we do appreciate that, we don't want people to click on the links just for the sake of doing that for us, because that's not what we are set up to do! Just click on a link if you feel that it contains something that you are looking for. The nice thing about Adsense is that it usually helps tie our articles together with global links that are relevant to the articles.

ks2me... you are good! Even noticed the title changed. Yes, we changed it to be more \"relevant\" to the topic in discussion
