How To Earn Money From Google Adsense

If you want advice on how to earn money from Google Adsesnse it’s best to look for people who are already doing it. Yes I do earn with Google. I have built websites that earn earn from $10 to $150 every month from Adsense income alone. I really really like those $150 dollar ones. Now that’s all the bragging you are going to see. The rest of this page will be my advice on how you can do it too. You can use adsense to generate anything from a little extra pocket change to a fulltime income. The only difference is the amount of effort you are willing to put into it.

First of all, just how does Adsense work. To put it in a nutshell, you get some html code from the Adsense website and add that code to your webpages. When people visit your webpages, the code displays advertisments related to the content of your page. If website visitors click on those ads, google pays you for each click. The amount you get paid can vary from a few cents per click to hundreds of dollars. The more competitive the market is for your topic, the more you can expect to earn from each click. Every time your Adsense earnings are over a $100 at the end of a month, Google will send you a payment, either by cheque or direct into your bank account within 30 days. If you don’t earn $100 in a month, the earnings carry over to the next payment period so you don’t lose anything.

The four most important things to master if you want a google income are keyword research, web page content, ad placement on your webpages and getting visitors to your website. You can make this work on any free site that allows you to publish content and Adsense code but in my opinion, it’s best if you have your own website so you have complete control of your content and design of your site.  Now let’s take  a closer look at each of these four points.

Just like in any other form of internet business, if you want to know how to earn money from Google Adsense, you must know how to do keyword research to find popular topics. These keywords must be used in the title of your webpages and within the content so that Adsense can display ads relevant to the topic your visitors were searching for. To find the right keywords, you have to know what terms people are actually seeking. Google itself provides a useful free tool for finding keywords on any topic in the form of it’s “Google Keyword Tool”.  Personally I use a program called “Micro Niche Finder” which provides all the information I need on keyword popularity, competition and how much I can expect to get paid per click.

Now we’ll take a look at your content. Just what do you put on your web pages? Once again, you will have to do some research. Your visitors will mostly be coming from the major search engines and search engines love original content. To achieve this, you need to find information related to your keywords that will also be interesting to your visitors. Do your own searches based on your chosen keywords, read the info you find, make a note of the important points and then write your own content using your own words. This is important, don’t just copy the information you find, in a lot of cases this would be illegal. Your content must be original and it must keep your visitors interested in the topic. On the other hand, don’t give them too much information. If you leaving them wanting just a little more, they will be more inclined to click on the related Adsense ads on your page.

Before you can place your Google Adsense ads on your site you have to visit the Adsense website to get the code. After you have registered with Google you will find options to design your ad units. Use the largest ad blocks that fit within your website theme. I have had the most success with the 336×280 blocks and the 160×600 skyscraper sizes. You should also choose the colour theme for the ads to match your website but always make sure the ad titles stand out.

Learning how to earn money from Google Adsense is all about leading your visitors to click on those ads. When you have finished building your Adsense units the site will generate the html code for you. Copy it and add the code into prominent positions on your website. Preferably have a large block near the top of the page. You can place up to three ad units on every page of your site so if you can, position another ad in the middle of your page and another skyscraper style ad to the right or left of your content.

Now lets get some actual visitors to your web pages. You have already taken the first step to attracting visitors by choosing popular keywords that people are searching for. Now you need to improve your search engine ranking. Pages that have lots of links from other sites tend to rank higher in search results. Ideally your pages would be on the first page of results, the higher the better.

You can easily create links to your pages by posting articles related to your topic in article directories. You can find related forums where you can post comments. Include a link to your site in your forum signature. Search for suitable blog sites where you can add comments and include a link. Then there are sites such as Squidoo and Hubpages where you can build more pages on your topic and again a link to your money earning adsense pages. Online classified ads are anoher source of these “backlinks”.  When you start to look for them you will plenty of ways to generate links to your pages. The more links you can add the better the chances of visitors coming to your website.
