Adsense for Games?

After ruling the internet world, Google has now decided to make an impact in the gaming industry.Google has developed an in-game advertising technology that allows it to insert video ads into games.
Google’s Bernie Stolar and Greg Schaffer spoke at the Casual Connect game convention ( in 3rd week of July), revealing the Google's plans to bring the "Google Adwords to Video games" via "Adsense for Games".

Stolar, Google's Game Evangelist, said, "I'm going to be very clear right now: Google is involved in in-game advertising. I'm going to say it one more time, in case there's any misconceptions here: in-game advertising. This is an area that Google believes will have tremendous growth over the next number of years. ... We are not going to be a publisher or a developer or a portal for games, at all. That's the jobs of everybody here. That's why we want to partner with you."

How will it work?
“AdSense for Games” will enable advertisers to purchase ad space within games and game publishers can integrate the system to monetize their products. Initially the system will only be available on web-based games but there are plans to include PC and console games in the future.
The advertisements will come in text as well as video formats.

Though Google has not officially declared the program launching date, but it is expected to arrive within next few months.It would be really interesting to see how Google proceeds with their "newbie"!

Google is known for its ability to stay up-to-date.When they came to know about the boom in number of viewers of youtube videos, they launched the 'adsense video units'.Google succeeded in catching up the popularity of youtube among 'netizens' to open a new revenue stream.

How much can one earn online?

Sometimes, you may wonder why do you 'waste' your time in blogging.You might have given a thought that the money you make on internet is too less (just enough to pay your bills).If such is the case, one question will keep arising in your mind, "am I wasting my time in blogging?"
The answer is NO.At the end of this post, you will be 'brain-washed'!
Just go through the 'income' figures of some webmasters (believe me, they are true!!!).

The income is 'average income per month':
1.Markus Frind:
Income:$300000
Visit his site.

2.Kevin Rose:
Income:$250000
Visit his site.

3.Jeremy Shoemaker:
Income:$120000
Visit his site.

4.John Chow: This man can be described in 1 word--'revolution'.Inspite of being dumped by the best search engine Google for his anti-Google attitude(!), this man has been making 5 figure income online.
Income: $30000/-
Watch his reports here.

There are many such webmasters making money which is far more than 9.00 to 5.00 jobs.Few of them have achieved it in 5-6 years.One thing which must be kept in mind is that they have achieved this success due to a lot of hard work.
