Google Adsense Revealed 1

This is the introduction to a series that I shall be posting in subsequent times. A pleasant reading.

In recent years, there has been a great deal of discussion and information concerning Google’s Adsense program at www.google.com/adsense

There have been truckloads of eBooks and articles written on the topic. But in the grand scheme of things, it is a profitable program that still gets overlooked by many who are just coming online to start a business, as well as those who have been around a while.

First, let’s take a look at exactly what Adsense is and what it is all about:

“Adsense is a program for webmasters which was implemented by the famous Google some years ago.”

Essentially, a webmaster (a person who owns and builds one or more websites) signs up for an account with the program, and once they are approved, they paste the Google Adsense javascript code into the pages on their websites

.

Google then starts serving ads to those websites, based on the keywords that it finds in the text of the page. 

When a visitor clicks on one of those ads, the webmaster makes money – usually a few cents per click.

However, when a site has a great deal of traffic, and when the webmaster knows which keywords are the most profitable to target, there is a lot of money to be made.

It sounds simple enough, but it’s really NOT that easy. 

First of all, you have to be approved – and Google is picky these days. The good news is that once one site is approved, and you have a Google Adsense account, there is no need to seek Google’s approval to use Adsense on any other site that you own, as long as that site is within the Google’s terms of service guidelines.

Once you are approved, you have to know which keywords to target – the ones that will make you the most amount of money per click, and how to write (or have written for you) content that makes those high paying ads appear on your site.

Finally, you have to learn how to drive traffic to your Adsense site. Without the traffic, you won’t get any clicks, and without clicks, you won’t be making any money.

Watch out for the subsequent parts of this series which will focus on the details of how to open a free blog, registering same for google adsense and ways to increase your page views.
