Google AdSense matches ads to your site’s content, and you earn money whenever your visitors click on them. As simple as that. You put ads in your website provided by Google. Whenever, visitors clicks the ads to see the content, you get paid. Once your total earning reaches $100, you will receive the payment from Google.

AdSense for content automatically crawls the content of your pages and delivers ads (you can choose both text or image ads) that are relevant to your audience and your site content; ads so well-matched, in fact, that your readers will actually find them useful.

2. Can I really earn from AdSense?

Sure! Trust me, if you are REALLY willing to put in the effort, you can earn a decent amount of money through AdSense. Recently there was a post in AdSense blog (AdSense.blogspot.com) that a person finally decided to retire from his 9 to 5 job as his AdSense income was enough for him. This will help him concentrate more on marketing his website to gain more visitors. If he can, why can’t you?

3. What are the minimum requirements for participating in AdSense?

a. A website or blog which has decent number of visitors per day. It must be understood that you must have at least a functional website to earn through AdSense. You don’t need to have a website provided you have a blog which is running and active. If you are a beginner, I recommend you to first concentrate on building your website, marketing and driving traffic. If you are serious enough, consider even buying a website with decent amount of visitors.

Do not rush to experiment with AdSense if you are just beginning to build your website. If you see the statistics, the disabled AdSense accounts out there are more of beginners than the seasoned web publishers. The fact is that beginners, out of frustration, sooner or later try to click their own ads to increase their earning which leads to the disabling of their account. So watch out your step.

b. A bank Account.You need to own a bank account if you want to receive payments from Google AdSense. You cannot encash the cheque they send unless you have a bank account. You don’t need to have an international bank account. Your local bank account will do fine.

4. Is there any alternatives for AdSense?

Well, there are similar programmes mimicking Google AdSense out there. Like Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN), overture and so on. But none is as effective as Google AdSense.

5. Why AdSense is so effective?

The main reason of success behind AdSense is that it is owned by the industry leading search engine group, i.e., Google. Leveraging on the supremacy of their search engine, AdSense can deliver contextually targeted ads with ease than any other vendor. They make use of the database of millions of stored webpage across the net to deliver targeted ads. Thus the ads are well matched; superior to any other service like YPN.

6. How can I increase my earnings?

a. Website Marketing

The primary way to increase your earning. More Visitors = More Clicks = More Money. As simple as that. Increase traffic to your website and you should see growth in your AdSense income.

b. Ad Placements

Sure! Ad placement counts as well. We as surfers, normally programmed not to click on any ads. Thus the success lies in integrating AdSense ads with your webpage; i.e., making it look like as if part of the content. Then you will see a rise in click through rate.

c. Keyword Analysis

It should be understood that not all ads are priced at the same price. There are ads which is priced as low as one cent. Then there are ads which is priced as high as 5-10$ per click. Normally, we cannot determine the click-through price of an ad. But we can control the general pricing by suitably choosing the content. For example, ads about camera review will pay less compared to ads about camera products. So, we should wisely choose the content of website. Generally ads on insurance and travel sector tend to pay more.

7. How to apply for Google AdSense?

Once your website is ready, sign up with Google AdSense from their home page. Your website will be reviewed by the specialists at AdSense. Once your website is approved, you can deliver targeted ads by pasting a few lines of html code into your webpage.

There are however around 5% who earn more than $10,000 a month from Google’s magic AdSense program.

This should give us AdSense publishers a lot of encouragement when you think that it is entirely possible to make $10,000 a month from AdSense as there are people making that kind of money every month.

So whilst these kind of earnings are a reality, to make this kind of money you need to ask yourself the following questions;

• How much do you want to make from AdSense?
• How hard are you willing to work to achieve this?
• How much time are you willing to spend working the Google AdSense program?

If you can honestly answer “whatever it takes” or something to that effect & you are willing to commit yourself to working towards that monthly AdSense earning figure then you may have a chance of actually achieving it.

So How Can You Make $10,000 From AdSense?

Well here a two ways to do it;

1. Put up 1,000 sites that each make $10 a month
2. or… Put up 1 site that makes $10,000 a month

Seriously though you would need more than just 1 website but certainly not as many as 1,000 – that would just be too difficult to manage & maintain.

Factors That May Influence Your AdSense Revenue

• Topic & Number of Sites Start with a few which have fairly popular topics such as photography or web design where you can be assured of enough demand & advertisers for Google to serve up AdSense ads on your sites. A topic for which there is little or no demand will not have enough advertisers for Google to provide your site with AdSense ads.
• Earnings Per Click The higher your AdSense earnings per ad click the less clicks you will require to reach your revenue target. Therefore ensure that your content is rich with high paying keywords so that you get AdSense ads that will produce higher earnings per click – sometimes just 1 click can generate as much as $5.00 whereas many clicks will only make $0.01c.
• CTR (Click Through Rate) The higher your CTR the higher your earnings for a particular number of site visitors.
• Website Traffic All other things being equal, more traffic will generate more revenue
• Relevant Ads If the ads Google serves up are not relevant to your site’s content your site visitors will be unlikely to click on them as they won’t be to do with what attracted them to your site.

To sum up, the amount of money you make from AdSense = CTR + Traffic Volume + Ads with High Paying Keywords + Relevant Ads

Placement of your AdSense units is the post important optimization method. Whether you are using AdSense Ad Units or AdSense Link Units, choosing the right placement for your ads will be key for your CTR (click through rate) success.

Choose a location which is highly visible to your blog/website visitors. Don’t hide your ads in the corner of a page, instead, make them visible. Placing ads within articles is a great option, as well as in headers, footers and sidebars.

AdSense Visibility

Similar to the previous point, but the visibility of your ads are extremely important. New publishers often think placing ads in a blank space on their blog is the only way to place AdSense. However, work your blog around your AdSense units; make sure you AdSense ads are displayed in the highest viewed site space so you increase your CTR.

Color Coordination

Don’t try and make your AdSense ads look like banner ads. Instead, make sure you color coordinate your site colors to your AdSense ads. For example, if you have a site with black text, and red links, use those colors as the AdSense ads colors. Also, look where you are embedding your ads, if the background is light gray, choose the exact same color for the background color of your AdSense Ad Unit or AdSense Link Unit.

Font Style and Size

A new feature with your AdSense account is the ability to choose a specific AdSense font. Again, the same rule applies as in the previous point. Choose fonts and font sizes that work with your website or blog.

Ad Size

The debate over what ad size works the best has been brewing for many years. However, every blog is different, and every blog has different techniques. But, the standard high earners are the 300×250 (embedded in blog/website articles), 160×600 skyscraper banner, and the 468×60 horizontal banner.

AdSense Unit Options

AdSense Ad Units are a set of targeted ads which displays the title, description, and URL. AdSense Link Units are a set of links which will bring a potential visitor to a search result of that phrase, and you will get paid if someone then clicks on a sponsored ad. Both are good options for monetizing your site, however, Ad Units offer better earnings.

Show Non Google AdSense Ads

The ability to choose another ad to display if your AdSense ads don’t is a great feature. This will help your site maximize your revenue. Also, if you use a Blogger blog, this will help as you don’t have much control over where your ads are displayed.

Use Channels

Create channels to track the stats of each one of your AdSense units. Look at which units are working, and continue to monitor your ads to optimize your CTR.

Test, and track your stats

Track your stats, if something is not working, eliminate it from your site, and try something new. If something is working, you may want to try and increase your earnings even more. Remember, always test and try to improve your earnings.

We can find many discussions on AdSense on almost all major discussion boards, forums and blogs. AdSense has become a buzz for teenagers who want to meet their personal expenses by running blogs of their personal interests. Even fulltime webmasters research to find various techniques for consistent revenue generation without any copyright infringement and violations of copyright laws.

Ironically many authors who claim to be the authority on AdSense and other advertisement media are still thriving to generate consistent revenue online. For this reason, there is no point in buying ebooks on this topic. All the information that you ever needed can be found online and especially at Google’s own pages. AdSense is a Google owned program that allows webmasters to display pay per click ads on their webpages. These advertisements are content sensitive (or contextual). This means that if you have a website on computers, advertisements displayed will be about computers. AdSense ads are highly relevant and it is because of this reason it is more successful. In fact, in the 3rd quarter of the year 2007, Google made a whopping $1.45 billion just from AdSense alone.

There have been other ways of online advertising like popups and banner ads. However, these are not so profitable and efficient when compared to pay per click ads. When was the last time you clicked on a banner or waited to see what a popup was about to display? The answer would be rare. However, the case is different with pay per click ads. As, these ads are contextual thus they can easily blend in with the content of the web page. Users click on the ads only when they are interested in the ad, this proven result generates huge targeted traffic to the advertiser. Targeted traffic means more conversions in return of investment and profits.

Being a webmaster or an active blogger you might have already known that “To increase revenue from AdSense earnings we have to place multiple ads on rich content web pages. Here are some tips in maximizing your revenue with multiple advertisements.

Make sure the ad unit with the highest CTR is the first ad unit in the HTML code of your page. We’ve heard that there may be some confusion on this, so here’s some clarification on how we serve ads to a page once we know which ads win the auction.

First we would start with selecting the ad unit on our main web page. I got some amazing results when I selected an ad size of 300×250 rectangle. Apart from selecting the right size, it is also important to select the right place and color of the ad unit.

I went through a survey on how a person uses the Internet. The results were remarkable, most of the users move the cursor in the centre or on the extreme right corners of a web page. Considering these facts it would be sensible to place the ads in the middle of the page or on the right hand side of the web page.

Selecting the ad color is also important. We can select the ad units which match the web page color and start placing them in between the content.

How about selecting the keywords which yield good money! It is always important to write a quality content which the visitors find valuable. If the content is based on high frequency keywords then it would be great!

Now that you have known few tips on AdSense, let us try these tips and watch your earnings grow!

Most of the Google AdSense publishers commit mistakes naively which could ban their AdSense account.

These AdSense tips are derived from Google Program policies, Terms & Conditions and FAQ’s.

1. Never click your own AdSense ads or get them clicked for whatever reason.
2. Never change the AdSense code.
3. Do not place more than 3 advertisement units or 2 AdSense search boxes on any web page.
4. Do not disclose confidential information about your AdSense account like the CTR, CPM and income derived via individual ad units.
5. You do not need to create 5 accounts for 5 different websites. One account will do.
6. Label headings should be “sponsored links” or “advertisements” only.
7. Do not add it on web pages with MP3, Video, News Groups, and Image Results. Also exclude any pornographic, hate-related, violent, or illegal content.
8. Avoid excessive advertising and keyword stuffing
9. Ensure the Language is Supported
10. Do not confuse with adjacent images

Prevention is better than cure, so whenever you are in doubt it is better to ask AdSense for help.

Those who have done it and are still doing it as we speak have quite a few useful tips to help those who would want to venture into this field. Some of these tips have boosted website earnings through AdSense quite alot in the past and continue to deliver results.

Here are the 5 most basic proven ways on how to best optimise your Google AdSense earnings:

TIP #1 – The AdSense Format

The one format that has work very well for me in the past, and still delivers today, is the so-called Large Rectangle (336×280). This format has resulted in higher click through rates (or CTR). Meaning more visitors out of 100 visitors click on my AdSense ads. The reason for this format outperforming other formats is that the links in this format look more like web links than ad links. Alot of people tend to avoid clicking on ads when they spot them. Choosing this format helps in making your audience ‘ad-blind’.

I’ve also had good results with the Medium Rectangle (300×250) in some occasions. Open your AdSense account and have a look at the format. It resembles the Large Rectangle format. Your best bet is to test the two and see which one outperforms the other on your site. I suggest to test both for at least a week.

TIP #2 – Custom Color Palette

Create a custom color palette to match the main colors of your site. You will see tremendous increase in AdSense earnings if you make your AdSense ads look exactly like the standard web links on your site. If your links are blue, make the AdSense links blue. If the background is white, make the background as well as the border of your AdSense ad white too. Your ad will look as if it is part of your site and will not look like a block of ads people avoid.

Here’s another color tip. Use it if you understand what I mean. I’ll give an example. I have a site with several articles on it. All the articles have a green title and the text is grey. The links on the site are all blue. But, my visitors are really interested in the articles I got published. So what I did is change all my AdSense color palettes on that site to green links with grey text. All the ads look like little previews of articles. I can’t prove it, but my earnings increase by 400% on that site from then on. Again, not all sites are created equal… If you know what I mean.

TIP #3 – AdSense Position

What I recommend is that if you have AdSense ads in the bottom of your site, remove them, or move them to the top. What you want is you want people to click. And if I tell you that most people are active “above the fold”, meaning don’t even bother to scroll down, than you want your ads to be in sight at all times. If your ads are at the bottom, move them to the top. Put them where people can see them quickly.

TIP #4 – Use channels

Channels help you in conducting a good analysis of the performance of ads. Use custom channels to check what web pages are making more money and which ones are obviously not doing so well. Custom channels can be used for conducting analysis on multiple aspects at the same time. Use this analysis for making changes to your AdSense ads. Improving website content can also get you better results. If can get people interested in more, chances are high they will look for more resulting in a click on one of your AdSense ads.

TIP #5 – Limit The Filters

Filters are useful for blocking ads that you do not want displayed on your website e.g. ads of competitors. You can filter out ads that you think are not paying you well by inserting the domain name of these ads in the “competitive ad filter” feature in your AdSense account. However, too many filters can seriously limit your revenue earning potential from AdSense Ads. So, limit the use of filters to minimum.

CONCLUSION

These are some of the tips that have worked well for me on all of my sites. It’s important to note that ads should serve as a beneficial part for your visitors. People are looking for good info. If you give them good info they will surely want more. If not your visitors will leave. Ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the visitors viewing them. Focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already.

Here are some tips that you MUST follow to become a successful AdSense publisher:

1. Be sure to read the AdSense Terms and Conditions and Program Policies thoroughly and comply with them at all times – no exceptions! Google is almost fanatical about its guidelines being complied with. It is absolutely critical that you comply at all times with every AdSense term and condition and policy to avoid having your account (and all your AdSense ads) shut down by Google.
2. If you are new to AdSense don’t assume you know anything at all about being a successful publisher. Read up on absolutely everything you can find about the program and make sure you have the correct tools at hand to become a success.
3. Become an expert at optimizing your sites and web pages. This does take some little time and effort on your part but the correct ad placement, and the right choice of top paying keyword, means the difference between a click through ratio of 0 and a click through ratio of 8 percent or more.
4. Spend a lot of time searching the web looking at examples of other publisher’s AdSense websites and see how each individual site, including blogs, is benefiting from AdSense.
5. Google will not tolerate you clicking on your own ads so don’t even think about it.
6. Don’t ask your friends and family members to click on your ads. You can earn money instead by referring them to the program themselves.
7. Don’t join the program simply to make money. It is NOT a get rich quick scheme. It will take time and effort to make a profit.
8. While the program is relatively user friendly don’t expect to get a complete grasp of how everything works as soon as you start. Expect to take a short while to get used to everything and to learn every facet of becoming a successful AdSense publisher.

By following this list of dos and donts you are well on your way to becoming a successful AdSense publisher. One of the fundamentals of AdSense success is optimizing your web pages with the best top paying AdSense keywords.

If you are an existing AdSense publisher who is struggling to make the $100 a month payment threshold then the following tips will set you up on the road to earning that monthly 5 figure sum with AdSense.

6 Tips to Make $100 a Day With AdSense

1. Position Ads Above the Fold The part of a web page that is visible (without having to scroll down) after it has loaded is the part that is “above the fold”. Therefore AdSense ads that are visible above the fold are more likely to get clicked on than those that only become visible if the site visitor scrolls down the page as they are less likely to scroll down than just view what is immediately visible. In fact check out Google’s heatmap which shows the positioning for the best performing ads.
2. Blend Your AdsAs web surfers are becoming increasingly blind to ads your AdSense ads should be blended into the content of your site in terms of the text & background colors. If the fonts can be matched this will also increase your chances of having the ads clicked on & thereby earning you more of that much loved AdSense revenue.
3. Best AdSense Ad SizesThe following is a list that is generally accepted as of the highest performing ad sizes… * 336×280 large rectangle * 300×250 inline rectangle * 160×600 wide skyscraper Whilst the above size ads may not always be suitable for your website or blog it is worth noting that these are the ones that out perform other AdSense ad sizes.
4. Links Should be BlueOne of the most important factors affecting AdSense revenue is to ensure that the links are blue. Web surfers view the color blue as a sign that a link is present . The whole point of this entire process is to get people to click on your links – especially when they are attached to AdSense.
5. Set Up ChannelsGoogle’s AdSense program allows you to create channels for each ad unit which provides you with an excellent tool to compare your various ad units performance on each page.
6. Click through Rate (CTR) Its important to monitor your CTR as it reflects the percentage of clicks generated per page impression. You can therefore compare your pages’ CTR and tweak things to improve the lower performing pages and so on.

The following formula sums up the AdSense money making model.

AdSense Revenue = Optimally Positioned, Sized & Blended Ads + Traffic Volume + High Paying Ads + Relevant Ads

What this means is that to maximize your website’s AdSense earning potential it needs to have all the factors optimized, for example a site with high paying ads but without traffic will not earn much whilst a site with hoards of traffic but without correctly optimized ads will likewise not do well.

So in order to hit the $100 a day mark with AdSense ensure that your site is AdSense ready.

If you have a blog or web page, you may use Google advertising program called Google AdSense. Each time you add content to your blog, Google spider will collect information from your site.

The amount that AdSense pays you is based on the amount of money that advertisers are will to pay (on a cost per click, CPC, basis). And the way it works is very simple; the higher the CPC, the more you will earn with the more you will increase your AdSense income.

Although the CPC is a major factor, there are a number of other factors that determine how much you can make using AdSense. Following is a list of techniques that you can use to get a Top Paying AdSense Keyword List .

The number of bidders: If there are zero bidders on a particular keyword, even though the word has a high average CPC cost, you will not make any money from that word. Look for words that have moderate to high advertiser competition. This ensures that your Google ads will be shown and will get clicks that make you money.

To generate a Top Paying AdSense Keyword List look for words that have lots of ads (shown on the right side of the page. A large number of advertisements indicate that there is a great deal of interest in that word, and that translates into more AdSense income for you.

The words you choose must have lots of estimated clicks. Although it is only an estimate, it can give you some idea of the amount of people that are doing searches based on this term. Avoid keywords with a low number of estimated bidders.

Make sure your website or blog focuses on a single theme related to your keywords. Use separate pages for each keyword. Google only allows you to place 3 ad blocks on each page. If your website contains, 10 pages, you can place a total of 30 AdSense ads on your site, versus just 3 ads for a single paged website. Obviously, Your Top Paying AdSense Keyword List will generate much more AdSense Income with 30 ads than it will with just 3 ads.

Your Top Paying AdSense Keyword List should contain words that are getting good traffic. The traffic estimate is very important because these are terms that people are actually searching for.
