If you have a website or a blog, you should definitely sign up for Google Adsense. It’s one of the few programs you can truly ‘set and forget’ – once it’s there you don’t really need to do much else with it.
But there are ways and means to maximize your income from Google Adsense, and as you get to know more about it you can start to generate a decent income from it that will keep rolling in month after month. It’s a true passive income, which is why so many people are using it.
Most people have heard of Google Adsense, but not everyone understands exactly how to use it to its best advantage. So we’ll start with how to use it in its most basic sense and then progress to the more advanced benefits you can get from the program.
Basically if you have a website or blog you can sign up for a free account at Google Adsense and start putting contextual ads on your website. What do I mean by contextual? It means quite simply that the ads which appear on your site will be relevant to your content. So let’s say for example that your website is about tropical fish. The Google ads will then be related to tropical fish in some way. And because of the information that you give to Google, they will also display adverts that are relevant to your area. So if you are based in the UK the ads that appear will be relevant to UK buyers; if your site or business is based in Australia the ads will appeal to Australian buyers.
All of this is carefully worked out for you in order to attract the maximum click through possible for your website and your ads. Every time someone clicks on an ad you will get a few cents into your Adsense account, so it makes sense that the more attractive and relevant your ads are to your visitors, the more money you will make.
Let’s have a look at the appearance of your ads now, since this can affect the amount of click throughs you get. You can choose the color and borders of your ads to fit right in with the color scheme on your site if you wish, but it’s worth experimenting with having no borders at all around your adverts since this makes them blend in with your content more seamlessly and may encourage more click throughs in a subtle but effective manner.
However well you integrate Google Adsense into your current blog or website though, there is obviously a limit to the amount of money you can make from one site. If you get thousands of people visiting your site every day then you can expect to get a good income from it but many people don’t get this number of visitors and that’s where you need a separate strategy to try and up your numbers.
In this case you can go to the advanced level of Adsense income and think about starting several sites, all based around a different yet popular subject. You should think of these essentially as being content sites, since they are often chock full of articles and useful content which is carefully keyworded to attract plenty of search engine traffic on that particular subject. The Adsense ads are then placed in the optimum positions to achieve the best click through (the Adsense pages will give you ideas on where to position them but it’s worth experimenting to see what works best for you), and the site goes live for people to find and read through.
You can also insert affiliate links for products into these sites in order to gain even more income if you wish, but they are often known as Adsense sites simply because they are set up to attract visitors and click throughs on a specific subject.
Some people end up with dozens of sites like this, and the beauty of them is that once they are built and you have bought your domain name and hosting plan you don’t really need to do too much with them except for promote them. Updating them fairly regularly is good if you want to get to a higher position in the search engine results though, which will gain you more visitors as a result.
You can also keep your site updated more regularly (and encourage repeat visitors) by inserting RSS feeds of news stories related to the subject of your website. Anything that will get people returning to read more – and possibly click on more ads as a result – is worth a try.
One final note here – choose the subjects of your Adsense sites wisely. It’s tempting to go for whatever is in the news at the moment, but once the stories die down so will your traffic. You want something that people will always want to know about – saving money, getting a better job, earning more, and various other more personal subjects such as skin care and successful dating for example. There are plenty of options to choose from; you just need to get your thinking cap on to find them.
In short the best place to start making money from Google Adsense is to integrate it into your existing website or blog. As you gain experience and discover the best ways to use it you can start thinking about adding extra sites into the mix. You might end up being an Adsense guru and raking in plenty of money for very little work indeed. That’s the best thing about it – the ‘set and forget’ benefit that keeps on working even when you’re not.

I use Google Adsense as one of MANY ways to make money – buy you gotta wonder though…does Google Adsense really promote quality websites in the blogosphere…or a bunch of simple junk sites that are put up my the thousands of thousands for volume clicks…I think Google tolerates it due to the revenue but I also think the Adsense has reduced quality content by a considerable percentage. BTW thanks for having at least a good amount of content with your site – it strikes that healthy balance of content and Adsense use. Way to set the example.

I’d have to agree, but in the end people will do whatever makes them money. Google IMO force webmasters into doing a lot of “bad” things that don’t help the internet as a whole. ie the only way to get traffic to your site is to get lots of links. It doesnt matter how good your content is if nobody knows about it. 99% of the time the cream does NOT rise to the top without a great deal of self promotion.
So webmasters are forced to flood the internet with anything they can to get links, cheap crappy articles, baseless press releases, link farms, etc etc. None of it holds any value, but its pretty much the only way (other than pure luck) to get your site to rank well.
I for one would much rather spend my time giving value. But google doesn’t reward that as much.

I set up AdSense after putting up a couple of blog posts and finding a WordPress template that I was pretty happy with. Honestly, that was the hardest part, finding a template that I liked. You can do a Google search on “free Wordpress templates with AdSense” to find ones that have spaces specifically for the ads. It is also worth noting that you can’t put AdSense ads on a free Wordpress site, you can only do them on the ones that you have paid for the domain.

I don’t know why, these days, cost per click of all type of my adsense ads are very low. Around $0.05 per click. I have around 10 visitors per day, and some of the clicks are $0.03. Weird. It was more than $0.15 before.

I have to agree that the Google Adsense program is a very great and legitimate way to be able to make money online! It’s one of the few ways that people can get started to make money online without having to spend any money!
I have been in the Adsense program for over 2 years now and in my 2nd month of being with the program I got my first check! THAT felt great! Ever since I have been getting paid monthly from the Adsense program. Even though I am not an Adsense Millionaire yet there are some who have made at least a million dollars using this program!
If that’s not enough incentive for people to join the Adsense program then I don’t know what is
[Reply]
It’s best to target those visitors from North America or Europe. These are the ones who can generate high earnings per click.

with adsense together

I agree that if you want to be financially independent you need passive income. Adsense does that.

Great article. One thing to always keep in mind when putting adsense on your site is to keep a close eye on your stats. You can do this through google analytics or install a custom program to keep track of where your traffic came from etc. This will also help you better optimise your site for potential keywords.
