Plan On Making Money With Google Adsense

by Eric Giguere

Google’s AdSense program is a great and easy way to make money online. The fundamental idea is very simple: insert relevant, text-based ads into your content and make money whenever visitors click one of those ads. It’s very easy.

Placing AdSense ads on your site is trivial — it’s cut-and-paste. You don’t even have to worry about choosing the right kinds of ads — AdSense scans the page and chooses the right ads automatically. Getting started with AdSense is exceedingly simple.

What’s hard with AdSense is what’s hard with any content monetization scheme: content and traffic. You need both to make money from AdSense. No visitors, no clicks. No content, no visitors. It’s not a complicated scenario!

Successful AdSense publishers have multiple sites. They build “networks” of AdSense sites. Individually, each site may only earn a few dollars per day, but collectively those dollars add up quite quickly. Even 200 sites earning only $1 per day each can make you $6000 a month, which for some people is the equivalent of a full-time salary.

No one says building all those sites is easy, or that it happens overnight. You definitely need a lot of content — whether you write it yourself or purchase it from someone else. You need flat-rate web hosting and a large selection of domain names. You’ll also want a tool or two to help create and manage the sites.

Creating your AdSense network doesn’t take as much work as think it does if you follow a few simple tricks. The first is to minimize content: start out with small sites and see what works and what doesn’t. Then do everything you can to get visitors to come back, usually by getting them to sign up for a mailing list. Don’t forget to use affiliate links embedded in your content for extra income. And make sure all the pages link to each other and follow basic search engine optimization rules.

In the end, what you really need is a proper business plan for your AdSense content network. Start small, and attack a variety of niches. Use the tricks mentioned above. Then build on what you have. Do the legwork and in a few months you’ll have a very profitable AdSense business.
