Earn Money with Google Adsense

How to Earn money online with Google Adsense

If you have a website or a blog and you get a decent crowd to view your contents, then you are eligible for a Google adsense account. This is probably the most laid-back way of earning money. There is no investment or monthly payment involved and this is 100% legitimate way of earning money by advertising on your website.

How does Google AdSense work?

Basically, the adsense program is for displaying advertisements in the form of texts, images or videos. The visitor coming to your website will see the ad and click on it. The more the people click on the ads, the more money you get paid. This is called as pay per click.

Google will send you a code that can be placed anywhere on your website. Typically, these ads need to blend with the content of your website so that it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb. Users generally avoid clicking on glaring ads and hence, the need to blend the advertisements. You have no other choice than luring the traffic to click on the links to get paid.
These ads will take your visitor to websites of the person whose advertisements were displayed on your site. Those who wish to advertise through Google, need to sign up for their AdWords program. This is a paid program. Google earns 30% of its total revenue through AdWords.

Types of AdSense advertisements

You can choose the type of advertisement you wish to place. Text based links are used in blogs or content based websites where potential keyword is used as adsense advertisement tool. An ad unit is a complete box or strip of advertisement. Remember the ‘click here’ or ‘you have one mail’ and ‘How many balls are bouncing’ kind of banner ads you see on websites? That is a perfect example of an ad unit.

Google allows up to 3 full ad units and 1 text based advertisement per webpage of a website. Best part is, if you do not want your traffic to get diverted to your competitor’s site, you can block those advertisements from your site. You can send a list of 200 urls to Google and no advertisement from any of those sites will appear on your website.

Downside though is that you might end up without any attractive advertisement for the visitors to click on. This can be a massive blow to your income through AdSense.

A referral method of earning money is quite interesting. Normally in a referral, you would need to manually make someone sign up for the program through your invitation. But here, if someone clicks on a AdSense referral link on your website, signs up for Google adsense and earns $100, you too will earn a bonus $100! It doesn’t matter if you know the person or not, you will earn whatever that person earns in addition to your own earnings!

What are the requirements?

• heavy traffic to your website,
• a verified bank account and/or mail address for check payments,
• no prior AdSense account,
• a website that complies with AdSense policies and Google webmaster policies.

Google will assess your website before giving the green signal. Once it does, you can happily start posting ads and get paid!

How do I boost my earnings through AdSense?

Cleverly place the ads at strategic locations on your website. Use search engine optimization techniques to make the ad more click prone.

Apart from that, you need to realize that looks do matter! You cannot put up a boring website and expect people to visit you. That would be totally unfair. Since you depend on your visitor’s click, make the website a beautiful place to visit, make it informative with well written contents and articles.

How do I get paid?

Here is the catch. You do not receive any check until the amount reaches $100. Google keeps monitoring as to how many have clicked the advertisements. Based on that, until you earn 100 bucks, you are not going to see any money. Don’t worry! With a good traffic and high paying ads, you can start earning about 2 months or sooner.

What are the possible glitches?

There is always the fine print, the thorns and more than what meets the eye.

• One major problem you might face is nobody clicks your ads and your get paid nothing.
• Second problem could be that you have blocked too many potential websites and now there are repeated ads on your page and nobody is interested in them.
• Third is your website or web content does not comply with Google’s policies and Google decides to ban you even before your account reaches $100.
