Whenever you visit forums, groups and blogger hangout sites, Google Adsense will dominate discussions. People want to know how to make money online with Google Adsense. They want to know what the best size ad to run or even where to put that size ad. Google Adsense is just as popular as Google itself. To some online money making bloggers, learning how to make money with Google Adsense is so hard, that when they do start to make pennies per day, they get happy. I know I did. I was one of those bloggers who used to login to my Google Adsense account everyday just to see if I had made ten cents! And if I did, I got happy!
It didn’t matter that it took me 6 months to make the minimum threshold of $100, just as long as I made it. But now, I know the secret, if you will. And I’d like to share a few tips with you about making money online with Google Adsense.
Due to the terms and conditions of Google Adsense, I can not tell you how much I have earned. And you shouldn’t either. If Google finds out, they can and will terminate you from the program, and yo don’t want to do that. It could turn your online money making career into a short lived stint.
Many people brag about the riches and millions they make from home. I don’t brag. I just get up everyday and treat my blogging like a job. Monday through Friday I wake at the same time, make a cup of coffee, turn my radio on, and I research blogs, commenting on relevant blogs, and I write. I write keyword friendly posts about things people are searching for. Obviously if they are searching for it, they must have a problem that needs solving. I look at my blog as a problem solver. If you perceive your blog as being a problem solver in your niche, then making money online with Google Adsense will come easy.
With new enhancements to Google Adsense, you can even integrate your FriendFeed account with it. But, that’s in another post.
As far as positioning your Google Adsense ads, the best place is to have them front and center so that your reader sees them just after they read your title. You want to place your ads on pages that are of course, receiving the most traffic that way high traffic areas will reap high demand keywords. The higher the cost per click to the advertiser, the more money you will make per click on your site. So, don’t target low cost per click keywords. Don’t know how to find high cost per click keywords? Here is a free program I use daily that keeps me earning on Google Adsense…Find the Best Keywords for Your Business and Drive More Traffic to Your Website!
The reason your readers will click on Google Adsense ads and not most banners is because of the high credibility factor with Google itself. When your readers see the name “Ads by Google” that phrase is synonymous with trust and reliability. Your blog or website can become an instant hit if you strategically build a solid website around your ads and not the other way around.
There are two major, and clever, factors that some successful webmaster and publishers are learning to blend together in order to make money easier using Adsense.
1. Targeting high traffic pages on your website. If you check on your logs, you will discover that many of your visitors are taking advantage of the free affiliate marketing resources and ebooks that you are offering on your site. In simple words, your ads are working effectively and are generating more clicks. It also means more money for you.
2. Placing Adsense links on pages that are producing little, or better yet, no profit. By placing Adsense on a free resources page, you will reduce the amount of potential customers being lost to other sites. Tricky, but effective nonetheless.
When learned to work effectively, these two factors are actually a good source of producing a minimal amount of revenue from a high traffic page. Many people are using this strategy to pick up some extra and cash with Adsense. This is also especially rewarding to informational sites that focus their efforts on delivering powerful affiliate link free content to their visitors. Now they can gain a monetary return on their services.
With the many techniques that people are now learning on how to make the easiest money by their Adsense, it is not surprising that Google is trying everything to update and polish their Adsense in order to maintain their good image. Sign up for Inside Google Adsense. Its a weekly newsletter produced by the Google Adsense folks and there are invaluable tips and techniques on how to improve your earnings with Adsense. One thing you must do as a blogger is to continually improve, always keep getting better so you can make more money than you did before. Your goal is to learn more about Google Adsense so you can make more.
The one particularly handy money-making feature that is available with Adsense now is the ability to filter out up to 200 urls. These gives webmasters the option to block out low value offers from their pages as well as competitors to their websites. Talk about taking only those that are advantageous and discarding the ones that seem “useless”. Use this feature! You want to block out the ads that are not making you anything but pennies. That’s another mistake I was making, I wasn’t using all the tools that Google Adsense was giving me. Filter out the URLS that don’t earn you enough money. This is fairly easy to do. Simply sign into your adsense account and review your report. Go to Advanced Reports and click on “Go To Your Analytics Report.”
There you will find the keywords that visitors are using to find your site. Once you find the keywords, again use that tool I gave you the link for above, and input those keywords into the Wordtracker tool. Your report will show you how relevant your words are and the weight of the words. Then go back into Google Adsense and find out how much advertisers are paying for those words. Google Adsense will show you how much those clicks can bring you.
It can be a tedious process, but keep that in mind when you start earning those big Google Adsense checks every month!
