Google Adsense - Can You Really Make Money With Google Adsense?
AdSense is an ad serving application run by Google. Website owners can join this program to enable text, image and video advertisements on their websites. These advertisements are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. Google AdSense provides a way for website owners to make money from their online content. You can join a community of publishers who turn hobbies into full time jobs and grown existing businesses. As you get started on your journey, look out for some key information to keep mind along the way. AdSense works by matching text and image ads to your site based on your content and visitors. The ads are created and paid for by advertisers who want to promote their products. Since these advertisers pay different prices for different ads, the amount you’ll earn will vary. You can get colors, fonts, and sizes for your text ads to best match your website. Everyone uses AdSense in a different way, so try at various combinations until you find what’s best for your website. Spending time on improving your site can ensure you get the most out of AdSense.
If you’re new to website building and don’t really get it and are thinking, “Google will pay just pay me for placing ads on my site?” Well yeah, that’s pretty much the concept; it sounds really easy on the surface, but there is some work involved. The key is building your website and then more importantly getting targeted traffic to that website. It’s not good enough to just put up a website and submit it to Google to throw some ads on and expect to be making $2000-3000 a month; it just doesn't happen like that. The key is to find a topic that you’re interested in. Let’s say you love to play basketball; you could build a 50, 75, 150 page site on basketball and help people improve their ball game, give recommendations on the type of shoes or basketball to buy. Whatever the topic is, it should be something that you love and that’s important because if you love it, you won’t mind building more and more content for your site. The more content you have, the more likely the search engines will give you more traffic and you’ll make more money with Google AdSense in the long run.
For example, let’s say you have this 75 page website on basketball and someone goes to Google and type in, “how do I improve my free throw shot,” well because your site has a lot of content and is well written, Google will rank you as a top search result. Let’s say on the right side of your article you have some AdSense ads related to basketball provided by Google and when someone comes to your site and reads your article on how to improve your free throw shot, they may glance over and click it, you can earn anywhere from $0.10—$3.00, just for that one click. Just imagine if hundreds of people come to your site every day and click on those ads, the money starts to add up. Basically what you’re doing is helping Google advertise and they’re paying you a commission for bringing traffic to their advertiser’s site.
The good news is that Google AdSense is the easiest way for bloggers and website owners to start making money with their sites. It really is easy once you have your site and have traffic. After installing the ad code onto your website, AdSense spiders will crawl onto your website to see what your pages are all about and then they check their inventory of ads that puts related ads next to your article.

I've been getting a lot of basic questions about Google AdSense lately, so I decided to write this article target for you beginners and newbies out there on AdSense. There are so many common mistakes that people make when first trying to make money with AdSense. I’m going to cover a few of them so hopefully you can avoid that same unfortunate fate that most newbies encounter.
The first thing I want to talk about is the click through ratio (CTR) – the percentage of people that click your ads; if you have 10 ad views and 1 person clicks, that’s a 10% click through rate. Google AdSense does not disclose what the average CTR is because that would open up to fraud. From personal experience, I’d say the average CTR for most people is 0.5%-2%; it’s very low, especially if you’re in a niche that is targeted to people who are familiar with the ads, webmasters, or making money – these types of niches tend to have a lower CTR because these people know that those are ads and block them out. Knowing that the CTR on AdSense ads are very low, you have to understand that you have to have so much traffic in order to make decent amounts of money. If you have a blog and you get 10 visits a day, 300 visits a month and have a 2% CTR, that’s only 6 people clicking those AdSense ads for the month and if you only get $0.05/click, you’re only going to make $0.30 for the month. If you have a low amount of traffic you can’t expect to make much with AdSense. In my opinion if you have less than 150 visitors a day, you shouldn't even partner up with AdSense; you should be focused on building up your website, your content and traffic and then join AdSense because AdSense can actually be a distraction. I see it all the time, people get excited about getting into AdSense and then they put up the ads, don’t see a high CTR and get disappointed, and get distracted by going to AdSense and trying to get another ad unit and adding them on different places on their site with different colors and what not; content and promotion comes secondary to earning money on AdSense, which doesn't work out at all. The problem isn't AdSense; it’s that those websites aren't generating enough traffic to make any worthwhile money with AdSense.
The other problem I want to talk about is the type of sites people are creating when they want to make money with AdSense. The reporter blogs that regurgitate common facts around the web don’t develop much interest unless you are adding your own commentary on the topic by writing about what you think or feel, or any advice you may have; you have to add your own feedback in order to develop interest. This is how you get subscribers and eventually long term success with AdSense. The more traffic you have coming in, the more people you’ll have clicking those AdSense ads on your site. Another type of blog that does not work well when trying to make money with AdSense is the personal blog – random things that are going on about your life; I’m going to be blunt, but no one cares. When you’re a “no-name” person and you are just writing about random things and no one knows you, the average person is not going to care. The only people you’re going to be targeting with personal blogs are your friends and family; from a strategic money making blog to making money with AdSense down the road, personal blogs are not the way to go. If you want to start making money with AdSense by writing blogs, you should start by creating a blog focused on a specific topic and become an authority figure within that niche.
The last problem I want to discuss is content. I know it sounds very cliche, but content is extremely important when you want to make money with AdSense. All content is not created equal; there are blogs out there with 20 pages of content that are much more valuable than blogs out there with 100 pages of content. Just because you have hundreds and hundreds of pages on your blog, doesn't mean those pages are worth reading, it doesn't mean that they’re interesting or have a fresh spin on your topic; blogs that are interesting have something fresh to offer, they’re different, unique and their content is written very well and organized. These blogs are the ones that get massive amounts of traffic opposed to blogs that simply have pages and pages of worthless content. Traffic = money withAdSense; so when you’re doing your blog, make sure you have great content because quality is far greater than quantity especially when it comes down to making the big bucks with AdSense.

Google Adsense is an easy way to make money from your blog. All you need to do is add a script from Google to your website and start displaying ads.
ReplyDeleteYou will get paid for every time a user clicks on the ad. These are called CPC ads.
What is CPC? CPC stands for “cost per click.” By displaying CPC ads with Google Adsense, you receive a set fee every time an ad on your website is clicked by a visitor. The cost per click is set by the advertiser. (This is in contrast to CPM ads, where you’re paid for ad views instead of clicks. CPM means “cost per thousand impressions,” where M is the roman numeral for 1,000.)
