Adsense Blues
Aug 11th, 2008 by gtull1
Have you ever dreamed of making a buck online? A lot of us aspiring webmasters have tried, but most fail. I, like many, started off monetizing sites with Google’s Adsense program.
How does it work? Adsense is pretty easy. You show Google your sites. Then you tell them that you want to place Google ads on your sites. They give you some code, you plug it into your site, and then these pretty ads start popping up. When someone visits the ads, you make a few pennies. Sounds simple right?
The problem is that everyone hates ads. How do you get around that? Through adsense placement and blending. You place the ads where readers will see them, and you blend the colors to make it look just like the rest of your site. In an ideal world, visitors will come to you for information, you give them what you can, and then they visit the advertisers to buy or learn more. Still sounds simple right?
The other problem is that amount of money. Some topics pay well, while others pay hardly anything. The most popular issues such as celebrities and sports don’t pay hardly anything. The unpopular issues such as insurance and lawyers pay a lot. So you can focus on the fun stuff and hardly make anything, or you can focus on the boring stuff ans pray you get enough visitors.
Some folks do really well with it though. If you want to find out more just go to Google. Then you can apply for their Adsense and give it a shot. Good luck!!
