ADSENSE is a conceptual advertising program from Google which allows website publishers to generate revenues from their site by placing ads from Google Adwords network on them. Each time one ad is clicked by a visitor you enjoy a part of the revenue that google makes from charging that advertiser. This is the highly profitable option. You just need to have a website and register with google . Once you are registered with google,they give you a block of text which you have to insert in your html code and then based on the content of your site google automatically shows ads where the code inserted. Its that simple to start earning money. Once registered with google this block of text can be placed in any website and you don’t need an approval for each website. You can create a website either to sell some product or for imparting some knowledge to people example- “ how to make coffee?” .Google pays you on a pay-per-click basis based on the ads that are displayed on your site or for even placing a google search box on your site. Most recently google has even started showing targeted keywords on your site and once a visitor clicks on a particular keyword he is directed to a page having pay-per-click ads related to that keyword. Google’s advanced mechanism even allows you to block your competitors from showing ads on your site. Google adsense can be executed either through a website or by creating a blog. The former requires investment as you need to spend on domain name registration and hosting charges. The later is a free option. You can just create a blog at free websites like bloggers.com and get started with adsence.

Now your job is to promote your site and drive traffic to your site.

There are the following options to do that

  • Use email marketing
  • Search engine optimize your site.
  • Make a monthly budget for google adwords. In adwords you initially pay google for showing ads of your sites on other related websites. But this option will have to be used very smartly.
  • List your site on free classified websites. Remember the trick to mastering adsense is creating good content. Write pages and pages of copy. A page or two only is not going to give you too much revenue from adsense. You have to constantly revise your existing copy and keep adding new and new information to beat the rat race.

Search Engine Optimization

Follow these simple tricks to make your site search engine compatible

  • No broken links in the site.
  • It is a good idea to create sit maps in your site. Create an XML sitemap file, put it in the root directory and then submit it to http://google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/siteoverview.
  • Have good content in your site. · Google ranks a page well if it has link popularity and if content is regularly updated ie, content is not stale.
  • Also, try to center your pages on one central theme. Use synonyms of your important keyword phrases.
  • Quality content on your index page. Try to make the length of your home page at least 300 words, however, without hiding anything from visitors' eyes.Try to use some keywords in BOLD .
  • As a rule, search engine spiders have a limit on loading page content. For instance, the Googlebot will not read more than 100 KB of your page, even though it is instructed to look whether there are keywords in the end of your page. So if you use keywords somewhere beyond this limit, this is invisible to spiders. Therefore, you may want to acquire the good habit of not overloading the HEAD section of your page with scripts and styles.
  • Use keywords in the URLs of your pages, e.g. http://www.companyname.com/web-development-services.html. Remember, search engines rank pages, not sites.
  • Longer titles are generally better than shorter ones, however the recommended word count for title is only 5 to 12 words, and character length up to 75 symbols. Naming images after keywords is particularly important now that AltaVista and Google have image searches.
  • Place your company’s name in the title tag, especially place it at the very beginning of the tag.What is more important is that you shouldn’t stop with just your company name but add one or two descriptive phrases to the tag.
  • The Meta Description Tag needs to be kept brief yet informative. A description of about 25-30 words should do fine.
  • Remember the importance of keyword prominence and place your keyword phrase early in the body text of the page.

All that you need to know about adwords

Google adsense and adwords are two sides of a coin. While Google allows website publishers to generate revenues from their site by placing ads in adsense, adwords are actually the ads placed by customers. In clear terms Ad words provides pay-per-click advertising to customers who are willing to shell out money every time somebody clicks on their ads. They receive a control panel like in adsense and they can set their monthly budget and keywords. Google also guides you in setting your keywords based on your website. Once the keywords of the customers match the keywords of your site the customers ads are automatically displayed on your site.Adwords are an excellent way to generate canalized traffic to your site. But there is a cost element involved with adwords. The other website promotion options like posting in free classifieds or search engine optimization do not have any cost added to it. But ad words if used sensibly are a good source of income for effortless work.
