In recent years, there has been a great deal of discussion and informationconcerning Google’s AdSense program at
http://www.google.com/adsense.
There have been truckloads of eBooks and articles written on the topic.
But in the grand scheme of things, it is a profitable program that still gets
overlooked by many who are just coming online to start a business, as well as
those who have been around a while.
First, let’s take a look at exactly what AdSense is and what it is all about:
“AdSense is a program for webmasters which was
implemented by the famous Google some years ago.”
Essentially, a webmaster (a person who owns and builds one or more websites)
signs up for an account with the program, and once they are approved, they paste
the Google AdSense javascript code into the pages on their websites.
Google then starts serving ads to those websites, based on the keywords that it
finds in the text of the page. When a visitor clicks on one of those ads, the
webmaster makes money – usually a few cents per click.
However, when a site has a great deal of traffic, and when the webmaster knows
which keywords are the most profitable to target, there is a lot of money to be
made.
It sounds simple enough, but it’s really NOT that easy. First of all, you have to be
approved – and Google is picky these days. The good news is that once one site is
approved, and you have a Google AdSense account, there is no need to seek
Google’s approval to use AdSense on any other site that you own, as long as that
site is within the Google’s terms of service guidelines.
Once you are approved, you have to know which keywords to target – the ones
that will make you the most amount of money per click, and how to write (or have
written for you) content that makes those high paying ads appear on your site.
Finally, you have to learn how to drive traffic to your AdSense site. Without the
traffic, you won’t get any clicks, and without clicks, you won’t be making any
money.
Getting real, targeted visitors that are eager to click on your ads is by far the
hardest part of being an AdSense publisher. There really aren’t any secrets here –
it is just a matter of learning to use some basic, proven site promotion
techniques.
You may have heard gurus say that Google AdSense is dead?. If you haven’t heard
this, there will come a point when you will. But that really isn’t true. In fact, there
are thousands of people just like you that are making very nice livings from the
Google AdSense program.
Usually when a guru says that you should not use Google AdSense, they generally
mean that you are better off not using it, especially when you are promoting your
own product, and your website is tightly focused on that product.
However, you can use Google AdSense for a site that was built specifically for the
AdSense program (Adsense Ready Sites), or on sites that you are using to
promote affiliate products as well.
You should also note that many successful AdSense publishers have more than
one website. They typically have numerous websites, on a variety of topics on
which they display the Google ads. However, there are also those that simply have
one high traffic website, from which they make money from the AdSense
program.
Regardless of this, all AdSense publishers start with just one website, and grow
from there, and this is what you should be doing as well. You have to get the
basics down, and learn the secrets that surround the profitability of Google
AdSense before you can be successful with more sites.
