How do you maximize your site? By earning some few dollars per click from displaying Adsense ads on it. Many are now realizing that good money is made from this source of revenue. Try the simple mathematical computation of multiplying those clicks for every page on your website and you get a summation of earnings equivalent to a monthly residual income with that little effort you have made. Google Adsense is a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to display relevant and text-based Google ads on their website’s content pages and earn money in the process. The ads displayed are related to what your users are looking for on your site. This is the main reason why you both can monetize and enhance your content pages using Adsense. How much you will be earning will depend on how much the advertisers are willing to pay. It will depend also on the keywords required. If the keywords the advertiser have chosen are in high demand, you could receive more dollars per click. On the other hand, low demand keywords will earn you just a few cents per click. How can you start making profits out of your website using Adsense? 1. Sign up for an Adsense account. It will only take a few minutes of your time. 2. When the site is accepted, you will be receiving a clip code to include in your web pages. You can insert this code on as many pages or web sites that you want. The AdWords will start appearing immediately after. 3. You will be earning a few cents or some dollars per click when someone starts clicking on the AdWords displayed on any of your web pages. Trying to earn false revenues by repetitively clicking on your own ads is a no-no. This will result in a penalty or the possibility of your site being eliminated. The money you have already earned may be lost because of this. 4. View your statistics. Adsense earnings can be checked anytime by logging into your web site account. Once you got your account working, you may still want to pattern them to the many sites that are earning more money than you are. It is important to note that there are factors affecting how your website will perform and the amount of money it will give you.

Good post! Only niggle is that Google Adsense is so easy to sign up for and display on your webpages, that almost every new blogger / web owner is doing it. Problem being, that some see Google Adsense as a magical tool to immediately make you rich. It's true that some adsense ads will pay over a dollar a click (I've known some Adsense Ads to pay over $30 a click) but there are tons of people who fall into the trap of looking for profitable keywords / keyphrases, leading to increased competition. The only way to truly make any kind of decent money from Google Adsense is to provide, FIRST AND FOREMOST, content which readers enjoy, and KEEP ON providing it. This is the way to get traffic to your website or blog. After that, the only outcome is that you will make money from Google Adsense. You have to work for any cash you earn, and anyone who says differently is a liar. There seems to be a perception that it's much easier to make money online than it is in the real world. This is true to a certain extent, as there are undoubtedly clever surfers who have made a fortune through their online endeavours. But the vast majority of us have to work to make any money online. I'm not slating your post (far from it) I'm just stating that using Google Adsense as a means of income isn't as straight-forward as a lot of people make out. It's totally okay to put Google Adsense on your blog or website, but that's just the start of the journey. My own blog has Google Adsense, but it's only a couple of months old, and as far as I'm concerned, I've forgotten all about it. When I start to get consistent traffic to my blog, that's when I'll take an interest in Adsense. It's all fine and well to say that traffic = money, but that's only a very small part of the equation. Here's an even more important one: great blog content = traffic Once you've built your content to a reasonable size, and optimized for the search engines, then you'll get traffic. After that, everything else follows.
traffic definitely equals money, you could have rubbish content and users click the ads just to get out of there!
Very true! But how do you get consistent traffic to a rubbish website? And more importantly, why would you create a website or blog with the intention of providing rubbish content? Can you think of any rubbish websites out there which get a steady flow of high traffic?
Pingpong123, It doesn't matter how highly your keywords rank, it all boils down to what advertisers are willing to pay per click for ads on your blog or website. Take the keywords "blog traffic" for example. If your website was no. 1 in google for the keyphrase "blog traffic", when someone clicks through to your wesbite and clicks on a Google Adsense ad, you'll be paid x amount of cents / dollars. If my blog was ranked somewhere around the hundred / thousand / million (doesn't matter) mark, if someone was to find my blog and click on the same ad which you are displaying on your website, I'd be paid exactly the same amount of cents / dollars. You'll rock with Adsense by getting as many clicks as possible, and that means traffic, which in turn means good blog content. Cheers! John.
I feel that most of the websites do not earn what the potential is. I have written a kind of blog with a calculator. janatanews.com/2008/july/monetising_your_website.php I hope admins allow me to post this, else I will delete this reply. Here are some relevant excerpts ... I was checking the alexa ranking and percentage of my site xyz and the latest figure says that it has a traffic percentage of 0.0005%. Assuming yearly online advertising market of $20 billion, it should have make an yearly money of $100,000. Assuming a factor or 2 for middlemen ( the advertising broker), it should make $50000 a year.
si2003, That's a really interesting idea you have there! Unfortunately, total online revenue isn't spread evenly based on traffic rank, or else we'd all quit our day jobs!!
I have read alot of mixed reviews about google adsense and there doesn't seem to be any consensus on how much you can earn. A few seem to do well and the rest make a few dollars. Most though agree a bit on diversifying and having more than one avenue of income on your website or blog.
I am arriving at a conclusion that if, instead of going through the Adsense you can directly get to the advertisers you have a much better opportunity of earning more. You will however, need a good page rank ( more than 5 ) and a decent traffic ( more than say 3000 page hits a day) to do that.
content is really the king i dont settle for crap content why make crap when you can create unique easily the better the content, the consistent the traffic, not to mention it should also be updated traffic brings the money so learn how to create it
You can not earn big 1. if people dont wait for your content (a post in a day or two will do) or 2. you deliver first new before anyone else, number of them, day after day, week after week. Either be a celebrity writer (that is a name in the said domain) or write continiously. There are exceptions, but broadly that's the rule.
If people dont ever see ur site it doesnt matter if you got a million pages of unique content. If you have a good seo that can rank tough keywords then your gonna be making money. Its very simple. The only question is can u make more money with affiliate banners or adsense?
