Is Income From Google Adsense Is Taxable?

Calculate your Tax Liability on Income from Google Adsense



Indian professionals and website owners are joining a list of their global peers in earning income through sale of advertisements via Google’s AdSense program. But being a new income head, there has been confusion over the tax treatment of such earnings.

google adsense tax


Foremost thing of AdSense receipts for Indian residents is that the income is taxable in India. It can be shown either under the head ‘Income from Business or Profession’ or under ‘Income from other sources’. The deciding factor in this case shall be the nature of work of AdSense publisher. If he is maintaining the blog/ website on regular basis then it can be shown under his professional income while if it is just a part time job and receipts are low, the income can be shown under latter head.

The advantage with showing earnings under Income from profession is that one can claim all expenses related to earning the income as deductions. So, expenses like Telephone/ Broadband expenses, advertisement expenses, books and magazine subscriptions, staff salary expenses, online services, web design, traveling expenses among others would be deducted from professional receipts reducing the tax liability. Apart from this, one can also claim depreciation expenses on purchase of car, computer and other capital items.

Regarding the ledger head, under which AdSense receipts are classified the best option is ‘Professional Receipts - Income from Website‘. There is no need to mention the term Google AdSense in Balance Sheet or Profit & Loss A/c but instead details can be mentioned in each narration entry. Also, keep a stock of all counterfoils of cheques from Google and bank account statements, so that they can used in case of scrutiny by Income Tax authorities.

If you have misplaced the counterfoils that came with AdSense checks, print the statement of earnings from AdSense dashboard.

Another issue that emerges from Google AdSense income is whether the receipts should be shown on accrual basis or cash basis, since earnings for month is normally credited after 2 months. For example, AdSense publisher ‘X’ earns $100 in month of March, then the cheque is made by Google around end of April by converting the $ amount into Indian Rupees at the prevailing exchange rate, which is then sent to the publisher’s Indian address. So normally the cheque would be credited into publisher’s account in May.

For such cases, one can choose either of these two basis, but while choosing cash basis, he has to make sure that only those expenses should be claimed which have been incurred in earning income for that particular month in which expenses are claimed, other wise those expenses shall be disallowed by Income Tax authorities.

Google currently does not have a system of direct credit into Indian bank account unlike Paypal.

Why AdSense publisher is not liable to pay Service Tax?

There are lot of doubts over whether Income from Google AdSense would constitute payment of Service Tax @12.36% since online sale of space for advertisement is taxable under Service Tax.

But the issue is simpler than it seems. The liability of payment of service tax lies with Google and not the blog/site owners. This is because it is Google which sells the advertising space to advertisers through Google AdWords at a rate which is known only to it and publishers only get commission from Google.

As per a ruling, Google is already liable to pay service tax on AdWords at 12.36% and if AdSense publishers also pay 12.36% on AdSense, then this means a quarter of Advertisement revenue would to to the tax officials, spelling a virtual killer for online advertising business in India.

Reason of Showing PSA in Google AdSense (

I've already had some experience with the way adsense works. Oh, and did I mention, I've discovered several AdSense NO-NOs. Oh and I also figured out when and why google displays public service ads. I figured that Google will usually display public service ads in one of the following scenarios:

  1. Your publisher ID is wrong or improper. Or perhaps you did not comply to the google TOS.
  2. You tried to modify the adsense code and accidently screw it up.
  3. Google can't find any ads to match the content in the page.
  4. You did not put the code in the template, and put it in a post instead - The thing that you should keep in mind is always have the adsense in your TEMPLATE ONLY. Don't try and put any adsense code into your posts, because it will not work. Instead you'll just get a ugly ad like the one shown below. Why? because once you post the code through most CMS systems the code will not stay in different lines (the linebrakes between the code will be removed), therefore it wont work.
  5. Google might have "flagged" your page? (see below for more stuff on why I think that might be the case)
  6. There was a hardware malfunction that occured at Google HQ.

Why google adsense is showing Public service Ads



Google adsense has become a very popular tool for making money from your site by showing advertisements. But sometimes you see PSA - better known as Public Service Ads on your pages. These ads are displayed because adsense has not been able to find suitable ads for your page. Without commiting these 15 Adsense mistakes, here are some ways to remove PSA.

Why Public Service Ads are bad?

  • Most important fact is that there are no payments for clicks on PSA’s. So even if you have a good CTR (click thorugh ratio), it is of no use.
  • It spoils the look of your site. Lets say you decided to place a big 160×600 vertical banner on your site and no ad showed, the PSA ads will have big monocolour fonts since one big ad wil be shown instead of 5 ads there, which looks bad to the surfer.

How to remove Public Service Ads?

  • Develop sufficient good content with keywords on your webpage related to the topic of interest. Google is a great fan of good content websites.
  • Ensure that META tags like ‘title’ & ‘description’ and the headings tags like h1, h2 etc. have content which matches the rest of your site. They are main ways google judges your pages content.
  • Add specific keywords in your text which will help the google bot to determine and understand the content of your website. Repeat related keywords which will better help to understand site content. Do not fill your page with simlar keywords, it might work against your favour.
  • Try to keep the entire website focussed on a particular theme, so that even if the content on a particular page is lesser, the ads wil show.
  • Do not place multiple ad units if there are not suffcient ads to display on all of them. Also Google TOS do not allow placing more than 3 ad units on a page.
  • Use section targeting - you can target an ad unit to a specific section of your blog, as well as block out irrelevant sections like navigational links. Useful to get more targeted ads.

Is your site Still showing Public Service Ads?

  • Google may take time to crawl your site. Although most of the times the ads show immediately, at times it takes upto 48-72 hours for google to assess the content of newly created webpage. This usually occurs if your site has not been indexed before by Google. The time is reduced on newer pages of a site already running adsense. Google claims the ads will get better and more focussed to your pages with time.
  • Your page may contain objectionable content. This may be against Google Adsense policies. If you feel your page has no such content, then look for any objectionable keywords or phrases which may be present accidentaly. Removing such content can cause PSA’s to dissapear.
  • Your site maybe using a robots.txt file, which will may not be properly set up and prevent the AdSense crawler from crawling your web pages. Add the following two lines to the top of your robots.txt file:User-agent: Mediapartners-Google* Disallow:
  • Frames may occasionaly cause difficult in indexing your page. Always remember to tick the Framed page checkbox from the Ad layout code page when generating your ad code. Similarly IFRAME’s also prevent effective indexing and cause PSA’s
  • There may not be any ads configured to show in your region. Lets say that these ads may be working in United States, but maybe showing PSA is Zambia. This is because Google Adwords payers can select regions where to display their ads, where they believe their target surfers are. After all why should an eye surgeon in US want to promote his service in Zambia? Try using the Google Adsense Preview Tool (works on IE only) which helps to determine probable ads in different regions.
  • Recheck your Adsense code was inserted properly on your webpage. Do no attempt to modify the code in any way, as it is against their terms of service. Adsense gives enough options to cutomisethe ad colours and sizes to suit your site. USe only the official code available from their site.
  • Remove session ID’s from urls - they changes every time a different user views a page, and the URL will not be in the indexed everytime.
  • Reduce your filter blocked urls. This feature is in place to allow you to block competitors ads from showing on your pages. If you block too many such urls, there may not be any advertisers left to display ads.
  • Use the Google Adsense Sandbox tool Simply enter the URL or keywords in the box below, and you will see up to 20 sample AdSense ads for the URL or keywords.

Official ways to hide Public Service Ads (PSA)

  • Suggest as altenate colour to display instead of your PSA. This will show an empty space with the background colour you suggest.
  • Suggest an alternate ad to display instead of your PSA. Your ad will show in that space instead of the PSA if their is insufficient content.
  • Place a collapsible ad. This ad will collapse and not show any PSA at all.

Removing google public service ads on adsense

You usually get this when you first added your adsense codes to your site. Its alright to get this during this time as adsense wasn't able to get a cache of your keywords yet. It may take some time to get revenue generating ads on your site specially if your content has less meaningful keywords in it. According to the google help center, it would take approximately 48 hours to remove the Gulf Hurricane Relief ad on your site. If its been there for weeks then your copy might have some problems in it.

Editing robots.txt
There are several ways to remove the PSA from appearing on your site, but the most efficient way is to change your content. First things first, your robots.txt might have been configured to disallow adsense crawlers from visiting your site. If you are able to edit your robots.txt file, you may add the following code below:

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow:

Avoid iFrames or Frames
If you have placed your adsense code in an iFrame then the crawler will have no way of getting relevant keywords thus displaying in the Public Service Ads. Google crawlers will have a hard time figuring out which content to get for the ads inside frames so its best not to place your ads in a separate frame or simply avoid using frames on your site just to be safe.

Choose your content wisely
Content is the most important factor in determining the adsense ads that is displayed on your website. the more content you the greater chances of getting a relevant ad. Make sure you have enough content for the crawler to read. Also, the google crawler can't read images, audio files, flash content, java applets or anything except plain text. If you have a small amount of content and you have set your ads to display only images then this might be the reason for displaying only PSA ads. Try changing your adsense codes to display text and images ads.

Negative Keywords
Avoid negative keywords, this includes anything that is related to d%ath, sickness, p%rnography, dr%gs, etc. At anytime avoid mentioning these words on all of your content, but opps there you go i have just listed them here anyway.

Avoid automatic refresh
If yous page contains the HTML auto refresh code, it might also be the reason why your site is displaying public service ads. Remove the meta refresh code from your page and observe if the PSA ads have been removed. The meta refresh code looks like this one below, remove them:

meta ="Refresh"

Adsense ad in a login page
Placing ads on a page that requires user access does not allow the google crawler to visit the page to get the relevant keywords therefore displaying public service ads instead. Avoid placing adsense code behind a login page.

Avoid Session Ids on URLs
Adsense also relies heavily on the URL to display relevant ads. Having a session id on the url confuses the crawler to ad a relevant keyword because your URL keeps on changing. You may use the input type hidden HTML attribute instead of placing the session id in the urls

Unsupported localization
If you site is displaying other language aside from English then this might be the reason why its displaying public service ads. Here's a list of country currently supported by adsense.
Arabic
Bulgarian
Chinese (simplified)
Chinese (traditional)
Croatian
Czech
Danish
Dutch
English
Finnish
French
German
Greek
Hebrew
Hungarian

Embed RSS feeds from Reuters website into HTML web pages

How to embed RSS feeds from Reuters website into his HTML web pages.

A. While there are tons of scripts that convert RSS feeds into Javascript*, I recommend using Google Gadget Creator for adding feeds to web pages - it’s easy as well as customizable.

*If you are looking for a non-Javascript solution, get one of these Flash based RSS widgets from Yourminis or WidgetBox.

add-rss-websiteStep 1: Copy the URL of that RSS feed to the clipboard (make sure you copy the location of the feed, not the website).

Step 2: Append the feed URL to this string- http://gmodules.com/ig/creator?url=

Confused ? Let me illustrate that with a quick example. Say the RSS feed address is http://feeds.labnol.org/labnol, then our string becomes:

http://gmodules.com/ig/creator?url=http://feeds.labnol.org/labnol

Step 3: Open this new link in your web browser, adjust the dimensions of the gadget, change the border color and finally click "Get the Code" button.

Place this Javascript code anywhere in your web page where you want the RSS items to be displayed.

Your site visitors can now scan the Reuters news headlines without leaving your website.

Which Adsense Format & Color Scheme Will Convert Best for You ?

Which Adsense Format & Color Scheme Will Convert Best for You ?


Should I use the 300x250 Adsense Rectangle or the much wider 336x280 for maximizing clicks? What do I select - 4 or 5 ads per adlink unit ? Will text only ads perform better than text+image ads ? Should I hide the colored border ?

adlinks These are some very common questions among web publishers especially those who have just gained admission to the University of Adsense. While the answer is to keep on experimenting, most Adsense experts employ a simple technique called "AB Split Testing" to optimize their Adsense ads.

The basic idea is to display different Adsense formats at the same location simultaneously but randomly. [This is done using the random() function in Javascript that generates a number between 0 and 1 with equal probability]

google adsense reports

Here's a sample scenario to help you determine what format works best for your site - 300x250 or 338x280 ?

Step 1: Create two custom Adsense channels - name them as 300x250 and 336x280.

Step 2: Generate the Adsense Javascript code for each of these Adsense formats. Everything will be common in two code snippets except the value of following variables: google_ad_channel, google_ad_width, google_ad_height and google_ad_format.

Step 3: This is an important step, you will merge the two Adsense snippets in such a fashion that each makes an appearance on your web pages nearly 50% of the time. Here's a sample code:


Monitor the performance (CTR, eCPM) of the two Adsense channels for a week or two to know which of the two Ad formats are converting better. [Switch to Advanced reports, select the two Adsense for Content channels and group by both date and channel]

In the next iteration, you may try the same trick with two different color schemes but keeping the Ad format same - just create separate Adsense channels for each color scheme.

If you are displaying Adsense ads on the homepage of blogs or other places where content changes very frequently, it's a good idea to test between Text and Text+Image ads.

The contextual ads may not be very relevant on blog homepage or archives because of the dynamic content and therefore CPM based Image ads may bring in more revenue.

URL Rewriting Script - URL Rewriting through .Htaccess File

URL Rewriting Script - URL Rewriting through .Htaccess File

Static URLs are known to be better than dynamic URLs for a number of reasons:

  • 1. Static URLs typically rank better in search engines.
  • 2. Search engines are known to index the content of dynamic pages much more slowly than that of static pages.
  • 3. Static URLs look friendlier to end users.

Example of a dynamic URL
http://www.yourdomain.com/profile.php?mode=view&u=7

This tool helps you convert dynamic URLs into static looking HTML URLs.

Examples of the above dynamic URL re-written using this tool:

Result : 1st Option

http://www.yourdomain.com/profile-mode-view-u-7.html
OR

Result : 2nd Option

http://www.yourdomain.com/profile/mode/view/u/7/

Note:
You will need to create a file called ".htaccess" and paste the code generated into it. Once you have created the .htacess file simply copy it into your web directory.
URL rewriting of this type will work ONLY if you are hosted with Apache Server.



Results for: http://www.domain.com/profile.php?mode=view&u=7

Method 1 - Single Page URL
Dynamically Generated URL
http://www.domain.com/profile-mode-[VALUE]-u-[VALUE].html

After converting your dynamic URL
http://www.domain.com/profile-mode-view-u-7.html

Create a .htaccess file with the code below
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in http://www.domain.com/

Is my site mobile-compliant for Mobi Ads in Adsense

Is your site mobile-compliant for Mobi Ads in Adsense - Is your site is .mobi Website?

1. How large are your pages?

Pages intended to be seen on a mobile device should contain as little extraneous information as Possible while still keeping all of the integral content intact. Ideally, a page should be less than 1120k. Pages that require lots of scrolling on a desktop computer could be unreadable on a mobile device.

2. Are you delivering content for the correct screen size?

Most mobile devices are 200 pixels wide by 300 pixels tall or less. (The current exception is the iPhone, which offers 320 px in width x 480 px in height.) If your site has images that are larger or screen content that requires scrolling, it will not render correctly (or at all in many cases) on a mobile device.

3. How long will your site take to load on a mobile device?

The quicker the better, since many people pay based on how much data they are using.

4. Does your website use frames?

Most mobile devices will not support them. (See this site for more information about frames.)

5. Does your site use an XHTML mobile profile?

The best markup language for a mobile device is XHTML-MP. You may need to re-encode your site to display as both a web version and as a mobile version.

6. Do you have the right MIME types?

MIME types are sent with web documents to help browsers interpret the information for viewing. Mobile phone browsers require different MIME types than browsers used with desktop and laptop computers. For XHTML-MP, the MIME type is application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml or application/xhtml+xml.

7. Does your site require forms?

If you require a user to fill out forms before using the site and if his/her mobile device either does not display those forms correctly or wonot allow them to be filled out, you would not reach most of your potential mobile audience.

8. Do you have the correct character encoding?

There are lots of ways to encode a website, but only a specific way will work so that pages render correctly on a mobile device. The UTF-8 character set should almost always be used.

9. Does your site use pop-up windows and/ or floating windows?

Many websites continue to use pop-up windows for advertising. Many also have floating
windows on top of their websites and they require a user to close the window before s/he can see the content behind it. Neither pop-ups nor floating windows will work on a mobile device, as mobile browsers typically do not support them.

10. Is your site image-heavy?

Unless you reencode your site to deliver pictures very easily or you make your site readable without images, it could be costly and difficult for users to access your site from their mobile device. If you do leave images as is, it is best to always specify within the code the width and height as attributes.

11. Are you using embedded objects?

The code to embed an object, such as a YouTube video, is not always supported by mobile devices.

12. Does your site require javascript?

Although many mobile devices claim to support javascript, many actually do not. Currently, javascript cannot be read on the bulk of mobile phones - however lots of users do not realize that until they have already spent several minutes trying to download a video or series of images.

13. Does your site currently redirect?

Sites that redirect automatically can cost users minutes and download allotments as they are navigated to another site.

14. Does your site offer cache control headers?

Cached information will dramatically reduce on the amount of time it takes to load and reload pages - and will eventually cut down on user-incurred costs.


15. Are you helping your users navigate?

Does your main website offer an explanation of mobile access to your content, how your mobile version can be used and which carriers support (or don't) your content? If you want to increase traffic via mobile devices, your main website should offer as much clear explanation as possible for users wanting to access your content when away from their computers.

Drop down menu for blogger in the archive

http://blogatech.blogspot.com/2006/05/drop-down-menus.html

This menu doesn't do anything here, of course, but on a real blog, selecting any of the options would automatically take you to the archive page for that month.

To do this on your blog, you'll just replace the default archive code with the following:



The first option, "- Archives -", is just a label that doesn't do anything. You can change this to whatever text you want. When you're done, save your changes and republish. That's all there is to it!
