Can You Make Money on the Internet With Adsense?

Google is one of the biggest and most successful companies in the world and generates its income from online advertising. So can you as a website publisher make money on the internet with Adsense? I'd say the answer is yes. There are many ways to make money on the internet. If you're a small time work from home blogger or just want to make a few dollars in your spare time then Google's Adsense program is often promoted as a great way to do so. But is it really possible to make more than a few cents a day with Adsense? Definitely.

You don't have to have a massive super-site to make money with Adsense. Although if you can create a super-site then don't let anyone stop you. Google Adsense is a program that pays website publishers a proportion of the revenue Google earns from advertisers when publishers place Google advertising on their sites.

You'll often see these advertisements in the sidebar or a blog or news site. They appear exactly as they do on Google's search engine results pages, perhaps with some slight modifications as to color and font to fit in with another site's theme. Every time a visitor to that site clicks on these ads Google pays the site owner a proportion to the Cost per click to the advertiser - in some cases a few cents, in others several dollars. It all depends on what the advertiser is paying for the keyword.

The 3 secrets to make money on the internet with Google Adsense. First, you want to create a blog/site about topics that are competitive for advertisers. Of course topics like insurance and attorneys pay well because the companies behind these advertisements can earn a lot of money from their leads, but there are a lot of other topics that pay well that are more interesting to write about. Who wants to write about insurance or lawyers every day?

The second important aspect of making money from Adsense is to get a lot of traffic to your site. The more visitors you have the more clicks you'll get from people who find themselves attracted to the ads. I've found about 5% is a reasonable figure to expect to click on ads on your sites. In some cases it's more, some less. It all depends.

The final key to Adsense success is advertisement placement on your site. I know it's not ideal to put advertising above the fold to impress your readers, but the fact is your advertising pays for the site and allows it to exist so most readers will appreciate this and just not click on the ads if they don't want to (some will click them to help you stay in business - I know I do every time I visit my favorite sites.)

Being able to make money on the internet is a great freedom for many people and if you can do something to increase your revenue and help free yourself from the need to work a job you might not enjoy then I hope these ideas have been helpful. Because of the internet I've been able to work from home full-time allowing me more time to play with my kids, exercise and otherwise do some things I really enjoy. It's not for everyone. It's hard work, but satisfying.
