The process is simple.
You sign up for AdSense and if your site is accepted, (we’ll cover this process
later in the course) Google gives you some code to paste into your web pages. It’s
JavaScript stuff that you can simply add into the HTML of your page. When
someone views your page this JavaScript fetches ads from Google. If they then
CLICK on your ad, Google charges the advertiser a click through fee and shares it
with you.
This is entirely AUTOMATIC so if you have a content rich site with lots of traffic
that is not currently making you any money, AdSense is something you should
seriously consider.
Now maximising this process is much harder and it raises what I call the content
dilemma which we’ll explore later too: Is your site designed to earn AdSense
revenue or is its main objective something else?
The reason you need to think this one through is that when someone clicks on an
AdSense ad on your website they go away because AdSense ad clicks never open
up a new window.
So that’s the background to AdSense. Tomorrow we’ll look at ways to maximise
the amount of money that Google sends you. There are two pretty complex
processes going on behind the scenes that we will examine, paying particular
attention to those things that are within your control. Not everything is!
Google AdSense is a fast and absolutely ridiculously easy way for people with websites of all types and sizes to put up and display relevant Google ads on the content pages of their site and earn money.
Because the Google AdSense ads relate to what your visitors came to your site to read about, or because the ads match up to the interests and characteristics of the kind of people your content attracts, you now have a way
to improve your content pages AND make some serious bucks off of them.
Google AdSense is also a way for site owners to provide Google search capability to visitors and to earn even more money by putting Google ads on the search results pages. Google AdSense gives you the ability to earn advertising revenue from every single page on your website.with a minimal investment of your time
So what kind of ads do you have to put up? That.s the good part.you don.t have to decide. Google does it for you. AdSense always delivers relevant ads that are precisely targeted.on a page-by-page basis.to the content that people find on your site. For example, if you have a page that tells the story of your pet fish, Google will send you ads for that site that are for pet stores, fish food, fish bowls, aquariums.you get the picture.
If you decide you want to add a Google search box to your site, then AdSense will deliver relevant ads targeted to the Google search results pages that your visitors. search request generated.
You.ve probably heard a lot about Google AdSense (which is actually more accurately known as Google AdSense V1), but you may not know just what it is. Well, for one thing, it.s a one of the hottest new ways to make money online without having to do a whole lot. If you.ve read Robert Kiyosaki.s book, .Rich Dad, Poor Dad,. you know that passive income is the best kind of income to have.
Passive income is income that you get without having to work for it. I know this may sound like some kind of .pie in the sky. get-rich-quick scheme, but passive income is for real. In fact, every single billionaire on earth uses the power of passive income to keep money coming in while he or she jets off to parties and resorts and such. The Google Adsense Empire Handbook Page 4 of 113
The best example of passive income in the physical world is real estate. When you own an apartment building and hire a property manager and a maintenance crew to take care of it for you and collect the rents, all you have to do is cash the checks that roll in.
Of course, passive income doesn.t just happen overnight, or everyone would be getting it. In the case of the apartment building owner, it took money, time, and knowledge to set up an S corporation, find a building to buy, put up the cash to buy it with and get a loan for the rest, renovate it, then screen and hire the property manager and maintenance crew. But once that was all done, checks began rolling in with little or no effort.
Well, Google Adsense is the online equivalent of that. You.ll have to invest just a little bit of time in learning about it, but once you get it set up you can look forward to seeing those nice checks roll in. Or, if you.re totally online, seeing money flow into your PayPal account.
If you aren’t using Firefox you must get it. It is much better than internet explorer. For those who know what I am talking about if you weren’t aware there are some nice extensions you can get.

The following are six ways that you can do this and increase your revenue at the same time:
1) Find the right place- Most website visitors read content that is in the middle of a webpage. As a result, the best place to put your Adsense block is in the top part of the page, at the beginning of your web content. You want to weave the Google Ads into your web content to give the appearance that they are extra links which expand on the information of the page.
2) Use the Large Rectangle-With Google Adsense, you have the option of picking different ad formats. Most of the time people opt to use the Leaderboard (728×90) or Wide Skyscraper (160×600) style ads. Unfortunately, this is the wrong choice, because both look like blatant advertisements. Instead smart webmasters have found that using the Large Rectangle (336×280) yields the best amount of click-thrus.
3) Ditch the border- Many people experience a sharp increase in Adsense revenue when they changing their border. What they change is very simple…they get rid of the border on their Adsense blocks. This is another way to make the advertisements look like useful web content.
4) Adapt the font- Whenever you write content, it should be the same font size and style as your Google Adsense block. This will help make it appear that the advertisements are a natural part of your website.
5) Match the colors- In addition to changing the fonts, you also should match the colors of your website. For instance, if your content is written in black, and your hyperlinks are blue, then the Adsense blocks should also be the same color. Again, this helps the advertisements appear to be normal web content.
6) Don’t have too many distractions- On a webpage, it is important to give web visitor a limited number of options. By having too many links and graphics, the web visitor might go to a section that doesn’t help increase your profits. While it is important to inform and entertain your web visitor, it is also vital that you monetize your site. So if the main focus of your site is to earn an income through Google Adsense, then get rid of all non-essential links and graphics.
By taking the time to implement these six simple steps, you’ll see a dramatic increase in the click-thru ratio of your ads. If added to all of the content of your site, your Adsense income will skyrocket!
