The Sims 4 (TORRENT)

 THE SIMS 4

The Sims 4 

 is a life simulation video game developed by Maxis and The Sims Studio and published by Electronic Arts. The Sims 4 was originally announced on May 6, 2013, and was released in North America on September 2, 2014 for Microsoft Windows.^[1] A Mac compatible version of the software was made available for digital download on February 17, 2015.^[2] The Sims 4 is the first PC game to top all-format charts in two years.^[3] The game has received mixed reviews since its release.^[4]
The game has the same concept as its predecessor, The Sims 3; players control their Sims in various activities and can form relationships. The game, like the rest of the series, does not have a defined final goal; gameplay is nonlinear. The Create-a-Sim and Build Mode tools have been redesigned to allow more versatility when creating game content. Emotional state plays a larger role in gameplay than in previous games in the series, with effects on social interaction, user interface, and personality.<sup>[5][6]

GTA 5 (TORRENT)

 GRAND THEFT AUTO V

 

 

Gameplay

Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure game^[3] played from either a first-person^[4][d] or third-person view.^[5] Players complete missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story.^[6] Outside of missions, players may freely roam the open world. Composed of the San Andreas open countryside area and the fictional city of Los Santos, the world is much larger in area than earlier entries in the series.^[7][e] It may be fully explored after the game's beginning without restriction, although story progress unlocks more gameplay content.^[9]
Players use melee attacks, firearms and explosives to fight enemies,^[f] and may run, jump, swim or use vehicles to navigate the world.^[g] To accommodate the map's size, the game introduces vehicle types absent in its predecessor Grand Theft Auto IV, such as fixed-wing aircraft.^[12] Auto-aim and a cover system may be used as assistance against enemies in combat.^[13] Should players take damage, their health meter will gradually regenerate to its halfway point.^[h] Players respawn at hospitals when their health depletes.^[11] If players commit crimes while playing, law enforcement agencies may respond as indicated by a "wanted" meter in the head-up display (HUD).^[14] Stars displayed on the meter indicate the current wanted level (for example, at the maximum five-star level, police helicopters and SWAT teams swarm to lethally dispatch players).^[15][i] Law enforcement officers will search for players who leave the wanted vicinity. The meter enters a cooldown mode and eventually recedes when players are hidden from the officers' line of sight (as displayed on the mini-map).^[17][j]
The single-player mode lets players control three characters: Michael De Santa, Trevor Philips and Franklin Clinton—criminals whose stories interconnect as they complete missions. Some missions are completed with only one character and others feature two or three.^[19] Throughout single-player, players may switch between the protagonists at will by means of a directional compass on the HUD. The game may switch between characters automatically in single-player missions to complete certain objectives. A character's compass avatar will flash red if he is in danger and needs help, and flash white if he has a strategic advantage.^[20] Though players complete missions as any of the three protagonists, the more difficult heist missions require aid from AI-controlled accomplices with unique skill sets like computer hacking and driving. If an accomplice survives a successful heist, they take a cut from the cash reward^[21] and may be available for later missions with improvements to their unique skills.^[22] Differentiation in heist mission strategies is encouraged; in a holdup mission, players may either stealthily subdue civilians with an incapacitating agent or conspicuously storm the venue with guns drawn.^[23]

Players may take cover behind objects during firefights to avoid taking damage from enemies.

Each character has a set of eight skills that represent their ability in certain areas such as shooting and driving. Though skills improve through play, each character has a skill with expertise by default (i.e. Trevor's flying skill).^[24] The eighth "special" skill determines the effectiveness in performing an ability that is unique to each respective character. Michael enters bullet time in combat, Franklin slows down time while driving, and Trevor deals twice as much damage to enemies while taking half as much in combat.^[25] A meter on each character's HUD depletes when an ability is being used and regenerates when players perform skilful actions (for example, drifting in vehicles as Franklin or pulling off headshots as Michael).^[26]
While free roaming the game world, players may engage in context-specific activities such as scuba diving underwater or BASE jumping via parachute. Each character has a smartphone for contacting friends, starting activities and accessing an in-game Internet.^[27] The Internet lets players trade in stocks via a stock market.^[28] Players may purchase properties such as homes and businesses, upgrade the weapons and vehicles in each character's arsenal, and customise their appearance by purchasing outfits, haircuts, tattoos and jewellery.^[29]

AdSense Plugins for WordPress Blogs

There is handful of ways to earn from blogs/sites, including affiliate marketing, paid posts, etc. Still, AdSense is capable of holding its popularity among bloggers, who are interested in having sustainable earnings from blog. It has to be noted that there are a few characteristics Google AdSense that help the advertisement network to stay in best-choice list of professionals. First is the fact that Google AdSense is from Google Inc., undoubtedly largest web giant! It is also worth noting that if you have a decent traffic in your blog, this advertisement method can be the finest among different ways of revenue. When it comes to WordPress-based blogs, however, managing advertisements and AdSense account has become an easy task due to availability of productive WordPress plugins. In this post, we have come up with an amazing list of WordPress plug-ins that will help you integrate AdSense ads to your blog and manage several aspects of ads you publish such as size, position, type etc. We hope all these plug-ins will be helpful for every blogger among our readers.

Google AdSense

Google AdSense (Previously Google Publisher) is not a dedicated plugin for AdSense. Rather, it is an official plugin from Google to manage both your Google AdSense account and Webmaster tools. When compared to the old process of creating ad unit and pasting it in your blog, Google Publisher makes everything simpler. Once you have installed this plugin, you will have to configure your Google account so that AdSense and Webmaster Tools will be linked with blog. And, the best part is that the plug-in itself will suggest you places where you can insert ads. After choosing the place, you can save, and ads will be visible in a few seconds. This plug-in also lets you preview those ads so that you can confirm everything works fine. Likewise, confirming authority of website/blog for Webmaster Tools is a matter of seconds through this plugin.

Quick AdSense

Although it has been named ‘Quick AdSense’, this WordPress just prove to be satisfactory, and not that quick when it is compared with aforementioned Google Publisher plugin. Despite having some default ad positions, in which it has been advised to place ads for sake of higher reach, you can use some scripts to insert AdSense wherever you want. It is also possible to restrict appearance of advertisements by selecting pages you want. Once you have fixed positions, you will have to insert advertisement code to corresponding section shown below. In addition, there are also sidebar widgets to insert advertisements. An advantage of Quick AdSense is that it supports other ad networks plus AdSense. You can add up to ten advertisement units in a page using this plug-in.

Ad Inserter

Ad Inserter is yet another effective WordPress plugin for AdSense management in WordPress blog/site. Though the plug-in says it is perfect for AdSense and Amazon ads, you can insert any kind of HTML, JS, and PHP code-based ads to 16 code blocks Ad Inserter offers. Along with some preset display options, such as before content, after content, before excerpt, widget, you can insert advertisements in any part of your blog by inserting specific shortcodes. While testing this plugin, Ad Inserter seemed quite intuitive due to its tab-based interface to set up ad blocks. In each tab, you can insert corresponding advertisement codes and rename code block if you want. There are also options to choose one display option, block alignment, where do you want these ads visible, whether you need to enable manual insertion of this particular ad block etc. Altogether, for those who want to manage multiple advertisements from AdSense and other networks such as Amazon.

Ad Injection

Although control panel of Ad Injection may seem a bit complex, this plugin is the most customizable one you can get at least for the time being. It offers variety of features such as a test mode, in which only blog administrators will see advertisements, restricting visibility and number of ads based on length and date, ability to show random ads, along with deep-level customization in each of mentioned sections. For instance, you can set different criteria when you’d like to restrict visibility of advertisements based on length of post. In the second section, you have to just insert your advertisement codes. Viewing all these features together, Ad Injection is quite an effective plugin for AdSense.

Simple Ads Manager

Last but not the least, Simple Ads Manager seemed to be a simple yet productive AdSense plugin in our experience. It does not offer that much features, but does its job very well! Unlike aforementioned plugins, Simple Ads Manager has different pages for editing and adding new advertisement blocks. In Settings section, however, you can set some options regarding visibility of ads such as position. In addition, Simple Ads Manager will send you an email consisting of monthly statistics of advertisement campaigns. Therefore, we think Simple Ads Manager is a simpler solution to manage both your AdSense and non-AdSense advertisement options.

How Much Does Adsense Pay?

I recently gave a session on WP Camp Germany in Berlin on how to optimize your income from ads on your website. As the discussion had shown, a lot of listeners where just starting to monetize their website and their first question was related to how much AdSense pays you in general. In this article I am going to review some information on the potential of AdSense income, list some benchmarks from various sites, and give basic optimization tips.

Learn about the 5 truths that limit your AdSense income.

How to earn money with AdSense

AdSense is an ad network belonging to Google. It is the biggest ad network in the world and the main service through which Google can display ads on a lot of websites. The secret behind AdSense is its simplicity. As a website owner you just need to sign into your account, create your first ad, and insert the source code on your website. The last one is the trickiest part for non-technical publishers, but still a lot easier than what some other ad networks ask you to do.
At the beginning there was just one way of getting paid with AdSense and this was on a per click basis. This means that you earn money each time a visitor to your site clicks on an ad. It doesn’t matter what he did afterwards on the target website. But before you start thinking about it: When Google figured out that some people tried to raise their payments by clicking on the ads on their own sites, they started penalizing for such behaviour.

68% of the click price

How did Google AdSense determine the amount you receive per click? Google also runs AdWords, which is kind of a mirrored service to AdSense. On AdWords advertisers running shops, services, or other marketers create ads and tell Google to publish them on either the Google search engine or in the display network, so all websites belonging to the AdSense network. 68 percent of the amount an advertiser pays per click on their ads on your site is your income. The rest is Google’s commission fee.
This still isn’t all you need to know about how much AdSense pays you. The costs per click are calculated in an auction. Every ad that is somehow in the pool to potentially be displayed on your website takes part in it. In this auction, it isn’t just the highest bidder that wins, but the winner is also determined by his “quality”. Without going deeper at this moment just remember that Google will ultimately run some smart algorithms that try to get the highest income per thousand impressions (return per mille = RPM) for you (and them).

CPC, CPM, CPE

In addition to the cost-per-click (CPC) model, there are two other bid types. Cost-per-thousand-impressions (CPM) is an income model where advertisers pay you a fixed price per thousand ad impressions. No click on them is necessary for you to earn something from AdSense. This bid type only works if advertisers choose on AdWords that ads should be displayed only on your website. Before they can do that you need to ad custom channels. I might cover this in an upcoming article, so you might want to subscribe to the newsletter so as not to miss it.
The most recent bid type is cost-per-engagement (CPE). In this case the advertiser is defining an action the visitor needs to fulfill like expanding the ad, watch a video ad, finishing a poll, etc. This form is so new that the documentation from AdSense doesn’t even mention it. As much as I would like to increase income from AdSense, we will have to see how visitors react to this, because the new engaging ad units might be a bit more jarring than the classical text or image banners.

Which is the best bid type?

You are not able to select the bid type yourself. Google calculates the best income when combining them based on what runs best on your website. If advertisers know about your good reputation and book CPM campaigns on your website, they might outrank your CPC income. If your CPC banners are well placed and your content is written for valuable topics like finances, your CPC might be unreachable. Lets see how the new CPE ad types kick in. The first AdSense accounts I have seen them in look very promising.

Should I use AdSense?

Once the ad code is inserted in your site, you are ready to earn money with AdSense. In practise, there is just one little problem for most small websites: to earn money with any kind of ad type you need traffic on your website.
This is the point where I normally stop new publishers who ask me for consulting. You are just building your content and reputation, have to fight for every newsletter subscription and the absolute traffic is below 10.000 pageviews a month. In this situation you should consider waiting with ads on your website. They might not only drive potential visitors away, but you also need time to manage and optimize your ads. Are there exceptions? Yes, there are. You will know when you see one.

Some website owners explain their banners in terms of their costs for hosting and the domain. I personally consider both to be so cheap nowadays that any hour practically worked for free on your project costs you much more than those things. If you don’t need those extra few cents per hour wait with AdSense or any other ad network until your website has grown significantly.

How much can I earn with AdSense?

AdSense earning examples

The answer to how much AdSense finally pays you depends on many variables. Still, the most important is the content on your website. Still, this is not a very specific answer to your question. Neither Google nor most publishers like to publish numbers on how much they earn with AdSense. I also won’t publish my clients’ income reports and their name so blank in this article. Sorry for that.
Still, there are some numbers I found thanks to Peer Wandiger, a German blogger who publishes monthly reports on incomes gathered from various sites. I took the following examples from his review in September 2013.

$48/ 1000 visits

The first impressive number comes from Pat Flynn, the owner of SmartPassiveIncome. In his own September report he stated that his niche site SecurityGuardTrainingHG.com generates $1,466.33 in revenue with 800 to 1,000 visits per day. This is about $48 per 1000 visits and is a very respectable number for such a niche site.

Other ad networks beyond AdSense

A great example of the chance for ad diversity is the income report of pinch of yum. Here, AdSense has the smallest income from an ad network. They seem to be more successful with the use of BlogHerAds. If you are more familiar with AdSense and ready to go a step further, there is probably also an ad network better suited for you.
Also moms-make-money.com earns more from other ad networks and income sources than from AdSense. Still, $272.82 for 158,710, which seems to be page views, is not bad at all considering the fact that you hardly notice the ads from Google.

Some general AdSense benchmarks

Even though I can’t state detailed income reports from my clients, I would like to give you a general benchmark of how much AdSense pays you when you use it on your website. I already summed up the 3 rich media banners you are allowed to use as well as link banners and the Google search on your website. Of course, your income is also highly dependent on the size and placements of the ads, but you will see there is a wide range of income possibility.

$0,25 – $3 RPM for unspecific, generic content

When you are running a forum, social network or directory of non-business information, chances are your AdSense income might not jump over $3 per 1000 page impressions. This is due to either ad blindness of returning visitors or information, that isn’t connected with products and won’t attract visitors eager to buy anything. Even affiliate programs might not really work here.

$1 – $10 RPM for content-rich sites, e.g. blogs

Content-rich sites like blogs should perform better with AdSense. How much AdSense pays does still depend on your niche and how you implement the ads, but a high frequency of new visitors and placement close to the main content will lead to a decent income. If you have a higher amount of traffic you might want to try other ad networks, affiliate programs and split tests.

$10 to a lot more for product-related sites

This is no surprise. If you are running a product-related website, like a blog about products and services, review products or a business directory, your income from AdSense, but also other sources should be the highest. But don’t think you are the first to have this idea

What to do now?

Many of you might now be thinking of leaving your current hobby blog and starting a website with product information to earn more money from AdSense. Stop for a minute and rethink your monetization strategy. Maybe it is just AdSense that doesn’t fit you and your content. Or maybe you should check your banner performance and can earn more by using my basic optimization tips. Still, the numbers I mentioned are in such a wide range that I would love to read your comments about your AdSense income to either prove me right or wrong.
