WHAT IS ADSENSE AND HOW CAN I MAKE MONEY FROM IT?
Before looking at AdSense, I feel that it is necessary to give a
brief description of pay per click advertising. The biggest and
most powerful ppc system is called Google AdWords.
AdWords
You will have seen AdWords in action before. They are those
little text ads that appear down the right hand side of Google’s
search results. They are an amazingly powerful method of
advertising. The ads you see are 100% related to the keywords
that you type into a search. This means, that as an AdWords
advertiser you are capable of displaying your ads in front of an
audience that is already interested in your products or
services. Never before have businesses been able to conduct
their advertising in such a highly targeted manner.
If your internet company rented holiday properties in Spain for
example, you could set up your AdWords ads to appear ONLY when
someone typed in keywords like “Spanish, Spain, holiday, rental,
villas, apartments, properties etc.”
Of course, this all comes at a price. As an advertiser, you have
to pay Google every time somebody clicks on one of your ads. Not
knowing how to cost their system, the geniuses at Google came up
with the idea of letting their advertisers bid against each
other for the value of their chosen keywords.
This means, that if I wanted my ad to be displayed the most
often when someone types the key phrase “Spanish holidays” into
Google, I would have to out bid the advertiser who currently
comes top of the list for this key phrase.
The Internet has matured as a result of ppc advertising. The
embarrassing days of the Dot Coms are well and truly behind us.
The value of online businesses can now be measured because ppc
advertising is a dynamic system that reflects real-world supply
and demand.
With ppc advertising, Google has enabled small online businesses
to flourish, whilst making tens of billions for themselves.
AdSense
With their follow up program AdSense, Google created an
opportunity for everybody to get a share in this lucrative
market.
AdSense is an extension of the AdWords program that allows any
website owner to place AdWords ads on their site. However, the
difference in this system lies in the fact that the ads
displayed come not from search phrases, but from the content of
your site.
As an AdSense user, Google gives you a piece of JavaScript that
has your unique id embedded within it. This enables them to
track the performance of the ads on your site. You simply paste
this code into the html of your website.
Then, when someone views your site, the JavaScript automatically
fetches ads from the Google server and places them on your page.
Google does this with its advanced content recognition
technology. This technology is so clever, that it knows which
country you are viewing a site from. It then places country
specific ads accordingly. For example, if you had a site about
fly-fishing, people viewing your site in Australia would see ads
for Australian fishing tackle retailers, and in the USA people
would see ads for American retailers.
When someone clicks on one of your ads, Google charges the
advertiser. Google then takes a cut of the money and gives the
rest to you. Although Google won’t disclose any details about
their payout ratio, it is rumored that they take 32% and you get
68%.
Before you start thinking: why don’t I just click on my ads all
day long and make loads of money? Google has thought of this and
takes click fraud very seriously. They want their advertising
system to work. They can tell if you have been committing click
fraud and will bar you from AdSense FOR EVER!
Making serious money
99% of AdSense users make next to nothing. They stick the code
onto their website and sit back. When the money doesn’t appear
they think the system is useless. This is good for us, because
those in the know can make extraordinary amounts of legitimate,
Google approved money.
• The key lies in finding a niche market and creating a content
rich, topical site within this market. You then fill the content
of your site with high paying keywords.
• Next, through good search engine optimization and advanced
inbound linking strategies, you build a high and constant flow
of traffic to your site.
• Then, only after you have taken steps one and two, do you
place the AdSense code into your site. You add the JavaScript
whilst employing certain techniques that make the ads look more
attractive. This will encourage more of your website’s visitors
to click on the ads.
This strategy, coupled with careful tracking of ad performance,
will guarantee that you are making serious amounts of money with
Google AdSense.
