This is the big question
on everyone's lips. Can you really make money by putting Google Adsense on your
web site or are all those success stories just a myth? Well some people have
made huge amounts of money from placing Google's targeted ads on their web page,
but it is still a lot of hard work. This biggest myth may be that making money
with Google Adsense is easy.
Yes you will make money if you invest a lot of time
and effort into optimizing and positioning your ads.
Factors that will
help make money from Adsense
Interesting and original content.
Website SEO for High rankings in the
search engines.
Paid advertising to get
traffic to your site. Not always necessary if you are good at SEO.
Placing your ads in
strategic positions.
Formatting the colour, size and background of your
ads.
Interesting and
original content. Obviously the more information you have the more traffic
you attract. Having great content will also encourage repeat visitors. People do
not want to return to a website that provided no value to them.
High rankings in the
search engines. Every webmaster strives to crawl up the ranking ladder.
Again the higher the rank, generally the more traffic you get.
Paid advertising to
get traffic to your site. This is a great way to get traffic to your site,
regardless of what is actually there. You could even have a site that said BLA
BLA BLA on every page and still get traffic because you are paying for it. You could
also use your Google Adsense earnings
to pay for Adwords. However you obviously must make sure that you earn more than
you spend..
Placing your ads in
strategic positions. There are different views on where the best place is to
put ads, however I think that it really depends on a number of factors. What
type of content is on the page? Is it interesting or just there to attract
clicks?
Formatting the colour, size and background of
your ads. The best way is to experiment with different colours and formats
until you come across a working formula. Most people say it is best to have text
ads that have no background, or the same as your webpage, and no border either.
This way they blend with your content, letting people sometimes presume it is
part of the information you provide.
Definitely DO NOT
Do not break the Google Adsense Rules (Get
familiar with them) If you are caught breaking the rules, Google will expel you
from the Adsense program and will not allow you back in.
Do not click on your own ads and don't ask
others to click on them either. This is an obvious one. Why would they pay
anyone to click on their own website ads.. DERRR!
Do not change the
Adsense code If you want to be paid for people clicking on the Google
ads, you should not alter the html code of the ad provided. You may interfere or
even stop the tracking of clicks on your ad and therefore loose money.
Do not have a page full
of ads and no content. Visitors will leave and Google will not know what ads to
place on your page. Google Adsense would have to basically guess what ads to
place on your webpage.
Do not let your ads out weigh your page content.
Even though a page may have great content, if you have to search through the ads
to find the content, it will not work.
Beware of all the gimmicks out there
claiming to help you make money from Google Ads. All you have to do is sign up,
get the html for a particular ad, and place it into your web site. When people
start clicking on your ads, Google will track everything for you. All you have
to do is watch your dollars accumulate.
Adsense has changed the basic structure and purpose of a webpage. It has allowed
people to provide information to its visitors at no cost to them. In the early
days of websites, you had to be actually selling something in order to make
money. Google Adsense has become a great way to earn some extra cash and is very
easy to add to your website.
In the end, the success of your website, and how
much money you make, depends on how much traffic you can attract there. If you
think it is a long haul to that first $100 payout, well your are right! But
don't give up because if you do make that $100, you struggled that far and you
may as well keep going. It would have taken me about a year to get to that $100
mark with one webpage. After that it kept increasing slowly until I finally
received a regular monthly income... $100 a month used to sound good to
me, however now my goal is $1,000 a month!!!
