Google AdSense matches ads to your site's content, and you earn money
whenever your visitors click on them. As simple as that. You put ads in your
website provided by google. Whenever, visitors clicks the ads to see the
content, you get paid. Once your total earning reaches $100, you will receive
the payment from google.
AdSense for content automatically crawls the content of your pages and delivers
ads (you can choose both text or image ads) that are relevant to your audience
and your site content—ads so well-matched, in fact, that your readers will
actually find them useful.
2. Can I really earn from Adsense?
Sure!!! Trust me, if you are REALLY willing to put in the effort, you
can earn a decent amount of money through adsense.
Recently there was a post in adsense blog ( adsense.blogspot.com ) that a person
finally decided to retire from his 9 to 5 job as his adsense income was
enough for him. This will help him concentrate more on marketing his website to
gain more visitors. If he can, why can't you?
3. What are the minimum requirements for participating in Adsense?
a. A Website or Blog which has decent number of visitors per
day. It must be understood that you must have atleast a functional website
to earn through adsense. You dont need to have a website provided you have a
blog which is running and active. If you are a beginner, I recommend you to
first concentrate on building your website, marketing and driving traffic. If
you are serious enough, consider even buying a website with decent amount of
visitors.
Do not rush to experiment with adsense if you are just beginning to build your
website. If you see the statistics, the disabled adsense accounts out there are
more of beginners than the seasoned web publishers. The fact is that beginners,
out of frustration, sooner or later try to click their own ads to increase their
earning which leads to the disabling of their account. So watch out your step. b. A Bank Account. You need to own a bank account if you want
to receive payments from google adsense. You cannot encash the cheque they send
unless you have a bank account. You dont need to have an international bank
account. Your local bank account will do fine.
4. Is there any alternatives for Adsense?
Well, there are similar programmes mimicking google adsense out
there. Like Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN), overture and so on. But none is as
effective as Google Adsense.
5. Why Adsense is so effective?
The main reason of success behind adsense is that it is owned by the
industry leading search engine group, i.e., Google. Leveraging on the supremacy
of their search engine, adsense can deliver contextually targeted ads with ease
than any other vendor. They make use of the database of millions of stored
webpage across the net to deliver targeted ads. Thus the ads are well matched;
superior to any other service like YPN.
6. How can I increase my earnings?
a. Website Marketing The primary way to increase your earning. More Visitors = More Clicks
= More Money. As simple as that. Increase traffic to your website and you should
see growth in your adsense income.
b. Ad Placements Sure! Ad placement counts as well. We as surfers, normally programmed
not to click on any ads. Thus the success lies in integrating adsense ads with
your webpage; i.e., making it look like as if part of the content. Then you will
see a rise in click through rate.
c. Keyword Analysis It should be understood that not all ads are priced at the same
price. There are ads which is priced as low as one cent. Then there are ads
which is priced as high as 5-10$ per click. Normally, we cannot determine the
click-through price of an ad. But we can control the general pricing by suitably
choosing the content. For example, ads about camera review will pay less
compared to ads about camera products. So, we should wisely choose the content
of website. Generally ads on insurance and travel sector tend to pay more.
