Make Money with Google Adsense

What is Google Adsense and How do You Make Money With it?

Adsense is an advertising program run by Google and it is a very popular way to earn money online. To make money from adsense, you have to put a javascript code from your adsense account into your blog or site. The code will generate an ad in the section of your blog where you put it – i.e. if you put the code in the middle of your blog post, it would generate an ad in that spot based on the content your post is about. If someone clicks on the ad, Google will pay you a certain amount of money based on a percentage of the ad revenue per click.

So making money from Google Adsense seems easy right? You just get a blog, slap adsense on the blog, then you start making money when someone clicks your ad. Also, if you read my post on make money posting links on Google, the example site also make it look easy. But the problem with this is where will you get someone to click your ad?

Google will ban you if you click your own ads. There are many people that Google have banned from their first day on being accepted into the adsense program because they were clicking their ads. Most of them were just experimenting. They wanted to know if their ad is working if someone clicks on it. They clicked on their ad multiple times (or had a friend do it) and they got that dreaded email from Google that their account have been banned. Also don’t tell people to click on your adsense ads – that is just asking for trouble.

To get people to visit your site and become potential ads clickers, you have to either be social media active or have good search engine rankings. Being social active means that you would drive people (traffic) to your blog by commenting on other people’s blogs, being active in forums, posting on social media sites such as facebook, digg, reddit, delicious, twitter, etc. To have a good search engine ranking, you should have optimized your blog – both off site and on site. This is called SEO’ing your site, and is good for Adsense if you do it correctly.

You should do both ways to get traffic to your site if possible. But if you don’t have time, you should try to improve your rank on search engines because those are the ones that click on ads because they want something; such as looking for the answer for a question or looking for how to get something. Social traffic don’t typically click on ads nearly as much. They are just looking for you to return to their site and nothing else. If you do a good job blending your adsense ads, you might get some clicks from social traffic.

The amount you can make on Adsense depends on your keywords (and many other variables). Certain keywords pay much better than others. For instance, if your niche is credit, then you can make a pretty good amount for one click for the keyword credit report. If your niche is make money online, you can also do quite well for some of the top keywords. This is what you can make if your site is very well targeted for that niche. Of course, you can earn a lot less for other niches. You can get clicks that would give you next to nothing, so you have to choose your topics wisely.

You also have to pass some guidelines to get accepted into the Google Adsense program. They don’t accept everyone so you need to have a high quality website before you can start showing the ads and make money with google adsense.
