Google AdSense Pays

By Angela Anthony

These days, finding a way to earn a living is getting harder and harder. People are consistently seeking out alternative ways to earn an income since traditional methods are becoming more and more discouraging. With the advent of the internet, people are finding alternative ways to make money. These incomes generated from internet based businesses can potentially exceed income levels produced by more traditional ways of earning money. Weather one is looking to replace their income or supplement income, the internet is proving to be a viable source. There are many proven strategies for making money on the internet.

Google is said to be one of the internet's largest search engines with revenues in the billions. Where do these billions come from? Partly from advertising. Google's AdSense program enable advertisers to place their ads on your websites. How is this done? Google AdSense crawls the content of your website and matches ads to your site's content, and you earn money whenever your visitors click on them. The key is making content rich websites that cater to a specific niche. For example, a website about "Baseball Cards" might be too general. Try narrowing that down to "Minor Leagues Cards" or even narrowing it down to"Autographed Minor league Cards". Get the gist? Creating a website about something that you are very knowledgeable or passionate about makes it a lot easier. The amount of money you get paid depends on the advertiser and the product.

One way that people are using Google AdSense to make money is by having multiple content rich sites. Some people have more than twenty niche sites. Content is the key. Writing good relevant content is also key. There are many websites that promote good writing techniques. You can also search the web for "free articles" relating to your niche. There are many "Free Article" sites on the web. Try a mix of your own and the free articles. Remember relevant content that brings your readers in is one of the key factors to getting people to your website. Also, publishing your articles with these "Free Article" websites, and providing trackbacks (links to your website) to your website, helps to bring visitors to your site.

Blogs are another way of getting people to your website. You may want a stand alone blog, or want to add a blog to your website. Either way, by having a forum for discussion, you are opening up your website for visitors to come and thereby increasing the traffic to your site. Also, posting questions and comments in other related blogs and providing trackbacks (links to your website) is another means of bringing traffic to your site.

You want more traffic coming to your site because the more traffic you have, the more chances you will have of someone clicking on an ad.

Another way of increasing traffic to your website is to get your website noticed and to have it ranked highly in the Google search. When creating your website or revising it, be sure to include keywords that rank highly on Google. A service such as Wordtracker, generates thousands of relevant keywords to improve your organic and PPC search campaigns and allows you to optimize your website content by using the most popular keywords for your product and services. Google will crawl the content of your site and rank your site accordingly, thus giving your site more exposure, and more opportunities for someone searching your niche to enter your website.

Another Adsense tool is AdSense for Search, which allows you to provide a Google search bar on your website. When your visitors search the web from your site, and click on ad on the search results pages, you get paid for those clicks.

If you are interested in Google's AdSense program, you will find a wide variety of information about how you can make money with AdSense on the internet.
