Joe Perez said… hi alan – i’m looking forward to reading more aurobindo next year. i feel a kinship with your thoughts on aurobindo, wilber, etc, but hesitate to comment more because my knowledge of aurobindo is superficial. but I have studied Hegel in some degree of depth, and I find Aurobindo’s prose to be more or less of the same difficulty. That is to say, extremely “abstract.” And yet it is beautiful, more so than … well, very much so. I hope you can find a way to communicate Aurobindo’s genius in more plain language. joe 12:05 AM

m alan kazlev said… Hi Joe, I have to say I have found ideas in your blog very helpful in further developing and widening my understanding of Integral and the Integral movement.
Yes much of Sri Aurobindo’s writings are heavy in style, perhaps because of his English private school upbring. Interestingly his Letters on Yoga (it’s since been published under another title, On Yoga or some such) are very easy to read; they’re just extracts from letters to disciples, replying to their questions (unfortunately the disciples letters are not included, so the complete context is at times hard to follow).
It took me a long time to learn how to read S.A.’s heavier books like The Life Divine and Synthesis on Yoga. I eventually realised you have to read just small parts here and there, whatever line or paragraph grabs your inspiration, and allow your inner being to be receptive to and uplifted by the Meaning behind the words. It’s the same with reading Ramana Maharshi, or any great sage. Approached on that level, Sri Aurobindo isn’t abstract at all!
I could never read his books from cover to cover, but Tusar seems to approach them in a more scholarly way, and that’s fine too. If you would like a good idea of what he is on about, but don’t want to have to plough through hundreds of pages of philosophy, I would recomend just read the last four chapters of The Life Divine. That way you go straight to his message of spiritual evolution pure and simple!For a while now I have felt more of an affilation with Synthesis of Yoga, which is more practical and mystical than philosophical in approach.
Then I discovered Sri Ramana, who is even more important to me now, as he teaches the realisation of the non-dual Self, which is necessary if one is to then progress to the stages beyond that, which is what Sri Aurobindo teaches (these stages, culminating in the Supreme individual and collective Realisation of the Supramental Godhead, are all described in those last four chapters of The Life Divine). Of course, for us ordinary mortals, even Self-Realisation (basic Enlightenment) is a huge task!
For me philosophy is mostly of little interest, perhaps because of that abstract quality that you refer to, although I appreciate for some it is a genuine sadhana (spiritual path). The way I tend to communicate what Sri Aurobindo taught is to focus on the practical and mystical side of the teachings, and their implications for the integral paradigm and the Earth as a whole. Of course that leaves out all the more purely philosophical and intellectual stuff, as well as all the poems and the political and social commentary.
But Sri Aurobindo is like an ocean, and it isn’t possible to encompass the whole ocean. One can only splash in the shallows. It’s like that when approiaching the teachings of every truly great sage. 3:09 AM

by: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

IX young men of Caesar’s household
Fled before their master’s anger;
As a god he claimed their worship,
Though a sorry god was he.
For an insect, ever buzzing,
Still annoyed him at the banquet,
Still disturbed his rest and pleasure.
All the chasing of his servants
Could not drive away the torment.
Ever round the head of Caesar
Did the angry creature hover,
Threatening with its poisoned sting
Still it flew, and swiftly circling,
Made confusion at the table,
Messenger of Beelzebub,
The infernal Lord of flies.

“Ha!” — so spake the youths together,
“He a god that fears an insect!
Can a god be thus molested?
Does a god, like wretched mortals,
Feast and revel at the banquet?
Nay! to Him, the one, the only,
Who the sun and moon created,
Who hath made the stars in glory,
Shall we henceforth bend the knee!”

So they spake, and left the palace,
Left it in their trim apparel;
By a shepherd led, they hastened
To a cave was in the mountain,
And they all went gliding in.
And the shepherd’s dog came after,
Though they strove to drive him from them;
Thrust himself toward his master,
Licked their hands in dumb entreaty,
That he might remain their fellow;
And lay down with them to sleep.

But the wrath of Caesar kindled,
When he knew that they had left him;
All his former love departed,
All his thought was vengeance only.
Out in quest he sent his people,
Traced them to the mountain hollow.
Not to fire nor sword he doomed them;
But he bade great stones be lifted
To the entrance of the cavern;
Saw it fastened up with mortar;
And so left them in their tomb.

But the youths lay calmly sleeping;
And the angel, their protector,
Spake before the throne of glory:
“I have watched beside the sleepers,
Made them turn in slumber ever,
That the damps of yonder cavern,
Should not cramp their youthful limbs;
And the rocks around I’ve opened,
That the sun at rising, setting,
May give freshness to their cheeks.
So they lie in rest and quiet,
In the bliss of happy dreams.”
So they lay; and still beside them,
Lay the dog in peaceful slumber,
Never whimpering in his sleep.

Years came on and years departed;
Till at last the young men wakened;
And the wall, so strongly fastened,
Now had fallen into ruin,
Crumbled by the touch of ages.
Then Iamblichus, the youngest,
And the goodliest of them all,
Seeing that the shepherd trembled,
Said, “I pray you now, my brothers,
Let me go to seek provisions;
I have gold, my life I’ll venture,
Tarry till I bring you bread.”

Ephesus, that noble city,
Then, for many a year, had yielded
To the faith of the Redeemer,
Jesus. (Glory to his name!)

And he ran into the city;
At the gate were many wardens,
Armed men on tower and turret,
But he passed them all unchallenged;
To the nearest baker’s went he,
And in haste demanded bread.

“Ha! young rogue,” exclaimed the baker,
“Surely thou hast found a treasure;
That old piece of gold betrays thee!
Give me, or I shall denounce thee,
Half the treasure thou hast found.”

And Iamblichus denied it.
But the baker would not listen;
Brawling till the watch came forward,
To the king they both were taken;
And the monarch, like the baker,
But a higher right asserting,
Claimed to share the treasure too.

But at last the wondrous story,
Which the young man told the monarch,
Proved itself by many tokens
Lord was he of that same palace,
Whither he was brought for judgment;
For he showed them to a pillar,
In the which a stone was loosened
Led unto a treasure chamber,
Heaped with gold and costly jewels.
Straightway came in haste his kindred,
All his clan came thronging round him,
Eager to advance their claim;
Each was nearer than the other.

And Iamblichus, the blooming,
Young in face, and form, and feature,
Stood an ancestor among them.
All bewildered he heard legends
Of his sons and of his grandsons,
Fathers of the men before him.
So amazed he stood and listened,
Patriarch in his early manhood;
While the crowd around him gathered,
Stalwart men, and mighty captains,
Him, the youngest, to acknowledge
As the founder of their race!
And one token with another
Made assurance doubly certain;
None can doubt the wondrous story
Of himself and of his comrades.

Shortly, to the cave returning,
King and people all go with him,
And they saw him enter in.
But no more to king or people,
Did the Chosen reappear.
For the Seven, who long had tarried —
Nay, but they were eight in number,
For the faithful dog was with them —
Thenceforth from the world were sundered.
The most blessed Angel Gabriel,
By the will of God Almighty,
Walling up the cave for ever,
Led them unto Paradise.

John Storer Cobb’s English translation of ‘The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus’ was first published in Goethe: Poetical Works, vol. II. Boston: Francis A Niccolls & Company, 1902.

He who would save the world must be one with the world…
His soul must be wider than the universe
And feel eternity as its very stuff,
Rejecting the moment’s personality,
Know itself older than the birth of Time,
Creation an incident in its consciousness,
Arcturus and Belphegor grains of fire
Circling in a corner of its boundless self,
The world’s destruction a small transient storm
In the calm infinity it has become…
Consent to be nothing and none, dissolve Time’s work,
Cast off thy mind, step back from form and name.
Annul thyself that only God may be

60: The sun before abysmal Night

A Spiritual Biography of Savitri

A calm slow sun looked down from tranquil heavens…

The night’s gold treasure of autumnal moons

Came floating shipped through ripples of fairy air.

And Savitri’s life was glad, fulfilled like earth’s;

She had found herself, she knew her being’s aim.

Although her kingdom of marvellous change within

Remained unspoken in her secret breast,

All that lived round her felt its magic’s charm…

Absorbed in wide communion with the Unseen

The mild ascetics of the wood received

A sudden greatening of their lonely muse.

This bright perfection of her inner state

Poured overflowing into her outward scene,

Made beautiful dull common natural things

And action wonderful and time divine…

A light invaded all from her being’s light;

Her heart-beats’ dance communicated bliss:

Happiness grew happier, shared with her, by her touch

And grief some solace found when she drew near.

Above the cherished head of Satyavan

She saw not now Fate’s dark and lethal orb;

A golden circle round a mystic sun

Disclosed to her new-born predicting sight

The cyclic rondure of a sovereign life…

He lay not by a dolorous decree

A victim in the dismal antre of death…

Always he was with her, a living soul

That met her eyes with close enamoured eyes,

A living body near to her body’s joy.

But now no longer in these great wild woods…

But mid the thinking high-built lives of men…

Body to body near, soul near to soul,

Moving as if by a common breath and will,

They were tied in the single circling of their days

Together by love’s unseen atmosphere,

Inseparable like the earth and sky.

Thus for a while she trod the Golden Path;

This was the sun before abysmal Night.

Once as she sat in deep felicitous muse,

Still quivering from her lover’s strong embrace,

And made her joy a bridge twixt earth and heaven,

An abyss yawned suddenly beneath her heart.

A vast and nameless fear dragged at her nerves

As drags a wild beast its half-slaughtered prey;

It seemed to have no den from which it sprang:

It was not hers, but hid its unseen cause.

Then rushing came its vast and fearful Fount.

A formless Dread with shapeless endless wings

Filling the universe with its dangerous breath,

A denser darkness than the Night could bear,

Enveloped the heavens and possessed the earth.

A rolling surge of silent death, it came

Curving round the far edge of the quaking globe;

Effacing heaven with its enormous stride

It willed to expunge the choked and anguished air

And end the fable of the joy of life.

It seemed her very being to forbid,

Abolishing all by which her nature lived,

And laboured to blot out her body and soul,

A clutch of some half-seen Invisible,

An ocean of terror and of sovereign might,

A person and a black Infinity.

It seemed to cry to her without thought or word

The message of its dark eternity

And the awful meaning of its silences…

A voice to the dumb anguish of the heart

Conveyed a stark sense of unspoken words;

In her own depths she heard the unuttered thought

That made unreal the world and all life meant.

“Who art thou who claim’st thy crown of separate birth,

The illusion of thy soul’s reality

And personal godhead on an ignorant globe

In the animal body of imperfect man?

Hope not to be happy in a world of pain

And dream not, listening to the unspoken Word

And dazzled by the inexpressible Ray,

Transcending the mute Superconscient’s realm

To give a body to the Unknowable…

Or call into thy chamber the Divine

And sit with God tasting a human joy.

I have created all, all I devour;

I am Death and the dark terrible Mother of life,

I am Kali black and naked in the world,

I am Maya and the universe is my cheat.

I lay waste human happiness with my breath

And slay the will to live, the joy to be

That all may pass back into nothingness

And only abide the eternal and absolute…

For only the blank Eternal can be true…

O soul, inventor of man’s thoughts and hopes…

At last know thyself, from vain existence cease.”

A shadow of the negating Absolute,

The intolerant Darkness travelled surging past

And ebbed in her the formidable Voice…

Then from the heights a greater Voice came down…

The cry of the Abyss drew Heaven’s reply,

A might of storm chased by the might of the Sun:

“O Soul, bare not thy kingdom to the foe;

Consent to hide thy royalty of bliss

Lest Time and Fate find out its avenues

And beat with thunderous knock upon thy gates.

Hide whilst thou canst thy treasure of separate self

Behind the luminous rampart of thy depths

Till of a vaster empire it grows part.

But not for self alone the self is won:

Content abide not with one conquered realm;

Adventure all to make the whole world thine,

To break into greater kingdoms turn thy force.

Fear not to be nothing that thou mayst be all;

Assent to the emptiness of the Supreme

That all in thee may reach its absolute…

If for thy own sake only thou hast come,

An immortal spirit into the mortal’s world…

Why hadst thou any need to come at all?

Thou hast come down into a struggling world…

To make thy life a bridge twixt earth and heaven…

God must be born on earth and be as man

That man being human may grow even as God.

He who would save the world must be one with the world…

His soul must be wider than the universe

And feel eternity as its very stuff,

Rejecting the moment’s personality,

Know itself older than the birth of Time,

Creation an incident in its consciousness,

Arcturus and Belphegor grains of fire

Circling in a corner of its boundless self,

The world’s destruction a small transient storm

In the calm infinity it has become.

If thou wouldst a little loosen the vast chain,

Draw back from the world that the Idea has made…

Then shalt thou know how the great bondage came.

Banish all thought from thee and be God’s void.

Then shalt thou uncover the Unknowable

And the Superconscient conscious grow on thy tops;

Infinity’s vision through thy gaze shall pierce,

Thou shalt look into the eyes of the Unknown;

Find the hid Truth in things seen null and false,

Behind things known discover Mystery’s rear.

Thou shalt be one with God’s bare reality

And the miraculous world he has become

And the diviner miracle still to be

When Nature who is now unconscious God

Translucent grows to the Eternal’s light,

Her seeing his sight, her walk his steps of power

And life is filled with a spiritual joy

And Matter is the Spirit’s willing bride.

Consent to be nothing and none, dissolve Time’s work,

Cast off thy mind, step back from form and name.

Annul thyself that only God may be.”

Gangotri

INVITATION

With wind and the weather beating round me
Up to the hill and the moorland I go.
Who will come with me? Who will climb with me?
Wade through the brook and tramp through the snow?

Not in the petty circle of cities
Cramped by your doors and your walls I dwell;
Over me God is blue in the welkin
Against me the wind and the storm rebel.

I sport with solitude here in my regions,
Of misadventure have me a friend.
Who would live largely? Who would live freely?
Here to the wind-swept uplands ascend.

I am the lord of tempest and mountain,
I am the Spirit of freedom and pride.
Stark must he be and a kinsman to danger
Who shares my kingdom and walks at my side.

–(Alipore Jail 1908-09)

REVELATION

Someone leaping from the rocks
Past me ran with windblown locks
Like a startled bright surmise
Visible to mortal eyes, —
Just a cheek of frightened rose
That with sudden beauty glows,
Just a footstep like the wind
And a hurried glance behind,
And then nothing, — as a thought
Escapes the mind ere it is caught.
Someone of the heavenly rout
From behind the veil ran out

A TREE

A tree beside the sandy river-beach
Holds up its topmost boughs
Like fingers towards the skies they cannot reach,
Earth-bound, heaven amorous.

This is the soul of man. Body and brain
Hungry for earth our heavenly flight detain.

THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH

I saw my soul a traveller through Time;
From life to life the cosmic ways it trod,
Obscure in the depths and on the heights sublime,
Evolving from the worm into the god.

A spark of the eternal Fire, it came
To build a house in Matter for the Unborn.
The inconscient sunless Night received the flame,
In the brute seed of things dumb and forlorn

Life stirred and Thought outlined a gleaming shape
Till on the stark inanimate earth could move,
Born to somnambulist Nature in her sleep
A thinking creature who can hope and love.

Still by slow steps the miracle goes on,
The Immortal’s gradual birth mid mire and stone.

BECAUSE THOU ART

Because Thou art All-beauty and All-bliss,
My soul blind and enamoured yearns for Thee;
It bears thy mystic touch in all that is
And thrills with the burden of that ecstasy.

Behind all eyes I meet Thy secret gaze
And in each voice I hear Thy magic tune:
Thy sweetness haunts my heart through Nature’s ways
??? Nowhere it beats now from Thy snare immune.

It loves Thy body in all living things;
??? Thy joy is there in every leaf and stone:
The moments bring thee on their fiery wings;
??? Sight’s endless artistry is Thou alone.

Time voyages with Thee upon its prow?
And all the futures passionate hope is Thou.
?

BRIDE OF THE FIRE?

Bride of the Fire, clasp me now close,–
??? Bride of the Fire!
I have shed the bloom of the earthly rose,
??? I have slain desire.

Beauty of the Light, surround my life,–
??? Beauty of the Light!
I have sacrificed longing and parted from grief,
??? I can bear thy delight.

Image of ecstasy, thrill and enlace,–
??? Image of bliss!
I would see only thy marvellous face,
??? Feel only thy kiss.

Voice of Infinity, sound in my heart,–
??? Call of the One!
Stamp there thy radiance, never to part,
??? O living sun.
?
?

A GOD’S LABOUR?

I have gathered my dreams in a silver air
??? Between the gold and the blue
And wrapped them softly and left them there,
??? My jeweled dreams of you.

I had hoped to build a rainbow bridge
??? Marrying the soil to the sky
And sow in this dancing planet midge
??? The moods of infinity.

But too bright were our heavens, too far away,
??? Too frail their ethereal stuff;
Too splendid and sudden our light could not stay;
??? The roots were not deep enough.

He who would bring the heavens here
??? Must descend himself? into clay
And the burden of earthly nature bear
??? And tread the dolorous way.

Coercing my godhead I have come down
??? Here on the sordid earth,
Ignorant, labouring, human grown
??? Twixt the gates of death and birth.

I have been digging deep and long
??? Mid a horror of filth and mire
A bed for the golden river’s song,
??? A home for the deathless fire.

I have laboured and suffered in Matter’s night
??? To bring the fire to man;
But the hate of hell and human spite
??? Are my meed since the world began.

For man’s mind is the dupe of his animal self;
??? Hoping its lusts to win,
He harbours within him a grisly Elf
??? Enamoured of sorrow and sin.

The grey Elf shudders from heaven’s flame
??? And from all things glad and pure;
Only by pleasure and passion and pain
??? His drama can endure.

All around is darkness and strife;
??? For the lamps that men call suns
Are but halfway gleams on this stumbling life
??? Cast by the Undying Ones.

Man lights his little torches of hope
??? That lead to a failing edge;
A fragment of Truth is his widest scope,
??? An inn his pilgrimage.

The Truth of truths men fear and deny,
??? The Light of lights they refuse;
To ignorant gods they lift their cry
??? Or a demon altar choose.

All that was found must again be sought,
??? Each enemy slain revives,
Each battle for ever is fought and refought
??? Through vistas of fruitless lives.

My gaping wounds are a thousand and one
??? And the Titan kings assail,
But I cannot rest till my task is done
??? And wrought the eternal will.

How they mock and sneer, both devils and men!
??? “Thy hope is Chimera’s head
Painting the sky with its fiery stain;
??? Thou shalt fall and thy work lie dead.

“Who art thou that babblest of heavenly ease
??? And joy and golden room
To us who are waifs on inconscient seas
??? And bound to life’s iron doom?

“This earth is ours, a field of Night
??? For our petty flickering fires.
How shall it brook the sacred Light
??? Or suffer a god’s desires?

“Come, let us slay him and end his course!
??? Then shall our hearts have release
From the burden and call of his glory and force
??? And the curb of his wide white peace.”

But the god is there in my mortal breast
??? Who wrestles with error and fate
And tramples a road through mire and waste
??? For the nameless Immaculate.

A voice cried, “Go where none have gone!
??? Dig deeper, deeper? yet
Till thou reach the grim foundation stone
??? And knock at the keyless gate.”

I saw that a falsehood was planted deep
??? At the very root of things
Where the grey Sphinx guards God’s riddle sleep
??? On the Dragon’s outspread wings.

I left the surface gods of mind
??? And life’s unsatisfied seas
And plunged through the body’s alleys blind
??? To the nether mysteries.

I have delved through the dumb Earth’s dreadful heart
??? And heard her black mass’s bell.
I have seen the source whence her agonies part
??? And the inner reason of hell.

Above me the dragon murmurs moan
??? And the goblin voices flit;
I have pierced the Void where Thought was born,
??? I have walked in the bottomless pit.

On a desperate stair my feet have trod
??? Armoured with boundless peace,
Bringing the fires of the splendour of God
??? Into the human abyss.

He who I am was with me still;
??? All veils are breaking now.
I have heard His voice and borne His will
??? On my vast untroubled brow.

The gulf twixt the depths and the heights is bridged
??? And the golden waters pour
Down the sapphire mountain rainbow-ridged
??? And glimmer from shore to shore.

Heaven’s fire is lit in the breast of the earth
??? And the undying suns here burn;
Through a wonder cleft in the bounds of birth
??? The incarnate spirits yearn

Like flames to the kingdoms of Truth and Bliss:
??? Down a gold-red stair-way wend
The radiant children of Paradise
??? Clarioning darkness’s end.

A little more and the new life’s doors
??? Shall be carved in silver light
With its aureate roof and mosaic floors
??? In a great world bare and bright.

I shall leave my dreams in their argent air,
??? For in a raiment of gold and blue
There shall move on the earth embodied and fair
??? The living truth of you.

Krishna by Sri Aurobindo

At last I find a meaning of soul’s birth
Into this universe terrible and sweet,
I who have felt the hungry heart of earth
Aspiring beyond heaven to Krishna’s feet.

I have seen the beauty of immortal eyes,
And heard the passion of the Lover’s flute,
And known a deathless ecstasy’s surprise
And sorrow in my heart for ever mute.

Nearer and nearer now the music draws,
Life shudders with a strange felicity;
All Nature is a wide enamoured pause
Hoping her lord to touch, to clasp, to be.

For this one moment lived the ages past;
The world now throbs fulfilled in me at last.

If you take the time to research this specific topic, you will find that there are hundreds of tips, which you can easily put into place that will help to ensure that you will receive a monthly check, for participating in the Google Adsense program.

For your information, you must earn $100 before you receive a check. In the event you make under $100 in any given month, the balance will be carried over to the next month.

The best advice that you can follow to receive a check on a monthly basis is to read, test and test! There are thousands of websites and blogs dedicated to help you getting the most out of the Adsense program.

Realizing Adsense success has a lot to do with trial and error. Read the tips and suggestions offered by countless other hard-working website owners. Besides saving you a tremendous amount of time, their words of wisdom can be vital, when it comes to receiving a steady check.

Another important tip revolves around the content of your website or blog. There are no other ways besides having fresh, relevant and unique content. Either write your own or hire someone else to do it. (It really does not cost as much as you might think and it is worth the investment.)

You may want to stay away from free article directories if you do not have a proper strategy. Why? Your content needs to be original in order for Google to view it as such. Duplicate content often gets penalized and ultimately you will receive a much lower click-through payout. However, if you put a link in your every distributed article linking back to your original work, you will not be affected by the duplicate content filter implemented by Google.

You have the option to filter specific advertiser ads, as well. You can actually filter up to 200 URLs. This will give you the chance to block advertisement for sites that do not meet your expectations. You can also block competitor advertisements, which is essential when you are promoting a product or service.

Many website owners will tell you that they have better luck when using specific size ad units. These sizes include the 336×280 large rectangle, the 300×250 inline rectangle and the 160×600 wide skyscraper.

Success with any size ad unit really depends on how well they are integrated into your site. It is a good idea to blend the advertise into your pages, simply by matching the background color and the border color of the ad unit with the background color of your site.

Following the above tips will help to ensure that you will receive your monthly Adsense check.

That is a pretty amazing statement! Just how can your adsense websites make you any money “Before” you get any clicks?

Google themselves have not decided to put on a halo and cough up for impressions rather than clicks I am sorry to say

But hang on for some really good news anyhow…

Something even bigger and better has been quietly coming together to give people a really great alternative, or complimentary income to adsense, where you will make money regardless if your ads are clicked or not.

Everyone is just going crazy over this new concept. It is everything any website owner could have hoped for. It means reliable money in the bank, and isn’t that what you hoped for in the beginning?

The concept is revolved around adding 5 seconds of audio to any web page within your website. This ads plays automatically as the traffic logs onto your site. It never plays for more than 5 seconds and it will never repeat itself. Ever page is treated individually. 5 seconds has been tested to satisfy the advertiser, but to not peave off the visitor. So you can now profit from this system.

You may have already heard of this concept, but if you have not, expect it to be a very hot topic through 2008 and beyond. Google adsense will soon be a sideliner once the members of pay per play start receiving their income from this system.

Pay per play is growing, growing, growing. There is no stopping the word now. Within a very short time people are going to be loyal followers and will be dedicating themselves to it. That’s what they did when adsense was created. With the potential financial rewards of every visitor meaning profit, there is going to be a lot of love in the air for this company.

For the website builder and owner this company could offer you automatic passive income. Your websites are built. Your traffic is naturally building. The hard work is done. Just apply the code to your site and watch the money roll in. The longer you wait, the more money you are missing out on.

If you maintain websites or blogs and are in search of a proven way to monetize them, read on to learn how to make Google Adsense work for you. If you do not have a website or blog currently, you can create one very easily by using Blogger or Google Page Creator. There is no charge, whatsoever, for doing so.

Signing up for this program is free. Once your initial site has been approved, you can add other more sites, without going through the approval process again.

Websites that are hard to navigate, under construction or have broken links will not be approved bu Google. For this reason, throwing together a site quickly just for the sake of putting up advertisements is not recommended.

There are site created just for the purpose of displaying Adsense advertisements, these are known as Made For Adsense (MFA) sites which violates the Adsense program guidelines. Look at it from the advertiser’s point of view. They purchase advertisement space to promote their product and to generate a profit. Therefore, they do not want to waste money paying for space that has little to do with what they are offering.

In order to make Google Adsense work for you, it is important to have interesting and rich content in your site so that relevant advertisement will appear. If Google bot cannot detect any significant meaning of your site while crawling your site, it is very difficult for Adsense to display relevant advertisements in your site.

If you do not want to create your own content, you can hire someone to write it for you. Do not depend on using content from article directories and other sites. Google considers this to be duplicated content and you will possibly be penalized, in regards to payout.

As a rule, the sites that seem to generate the most Adsense revenue are those who blend the ads right into their color scheme. This is quite simple to accomplish and can be done in as many color combinations as necessary.

Do not use subtle tricks in effort to secure more clicks. Using arrows or other kinds of graphics to make your advertisement more noticeable might seem like a good idea but this is actually violating their guidelines.

There are many other things you can do to make Google Adsense work for you but the most important thing is to test out in every possible way you can think of. The reason why I generate hundreds of dollars within first few months is because of the amount of tests I have done to all my sites.

Take the time to learn as much as you can about the program. Success will not happen overnight, but with considerable diligence, you will begin to see your hard work pay off.
