Adsense?

What the heck, how do you make money with Adsense?

Hey Everyone Peter here with a quick post about what you need to know about when it comes to making money with adsense and the strategy to use, that many “G” don’t fill you in on, so have a good read,

Oh yea nothing to buy today, just great content for you

The more you understand about any subject, the more interesting it becomes. As you read this article you’ll find that the subject of adsense is certainly no exception.

So without wasting anymore time let’s dive in and take a brief look at some of the ways to make money on the internet.

A) Adsense – Adsense is a nice way of monetizing information you have on a web page, and could work great with the right amount of traffic. The ads are relevant to the content f the web page, so it’s ‘invited’ advertising.

Some people make thousands a week off Adsense. That’s great. But me? I’m not a big fan. Adsense is reliant on Google. If they ever shut down your account, that’s it. You’ve got no money, unless you have other streams of income. Google are not likely to shut down your account for no reason, but it happens sometimes, and you have to be prepared n case it ever does.

Google also pays what, around a dollar a click normally? I always get around a dollar a click anyway, it does depend on the keywords etc. To get a nice pay out per day you would need a lot of clicks, which means a lot of traffic.

PLUS – I can’t help thinking, are web masters LOSING money by letting their traffic go with Adsense? Okay, so they get a dollar for that visitor, but what if they put a related affiliate program ad in place of the Adsense block. They have the chance to make up to 50x more on that click if the visitor buys the product they’re promoting.

I’ve seen some stupid websites that sell their own products, with Adsense blocks dotted around. Are these web masters mad? They are losing potential customers for a dollar. What’s worse, they are losing them to competition! If you have your own products, or affiliate programs to promote, I would NOT use Adsense, at least not as a main source of income for your site.

Adsense is a money maker though, and a clever one too. It should not be ignored. Use it for general topic sites, general community sites and search engines. Even then, if there are opportunities that pay out more than a dollar, use them. IF they’re good enough.

Hopefully the information presented so far has been applicable. You might also want to consider the following:

What I tend to do, when I’m promoting one of my own products from my site, or
promoting affiliate products, is strategically place my ads in places where I feel the visitor would not be interested in anything else. I would rather them click the ad than the or back button.

Good places are right at the bottom of a page; They are searching right down for
something they like, and if they haven’t found anything they’ll hit the bottom of the site.

Rather than the visitor clicking away, and going elsewhere, stick some Adsense there. Also, if you have a links page, or related sites, stick a block on there, because if they click n ‘links’ it’s likely they want to leave…

IP – On pages where you’re selling something or promoting something, make your ads actually look like ads. I mean, bordered and different colours. Make them stand out. Why? Well, the last thing you want to do is get your visitor interested in what your selling or promoting, only to have them click on an ad, thinking it may be a related link. So, they’re looking on the site, well interested. They want to know more, and they click on what looks like a ‘link’ to a different page, only to see this whole different site, because the ‘link’ was really a disguised ad.

his will leave your visitor feeling deceived, and will probably hate you
On the plus side, you’ll get a dollar!

I’ve seen bad websites that do this. Let’s say they’re selling ’socks’. There’s a picture of some socks in the main body of the website, and it’s telling you all about them. The dimwit of a web master has put an ‘Adsense link unit’ underneath his banner so it looks like a menu! Bet he/she thought he was really clever when he did that! Well, the visitor has only gone and clicked on the ‘relevant’ ad ‘BUY SOCKS’. He or she has lost a customer, to competition.

So, I hope that gives you a few tips on Adsense. Next time your putting those funny little pictures next to the ads, or making the link units look like menu’s, think about it. Do you want a dollar – or 50 times the amount?

Now you know how marketing with adsense goes hand in hand with making money with adsense.

I hope that reading the above information was both enjoyable and educational for you. Your learning process should be ongoing–the more you understand about any subject, the more you will be able to share with others.
