Making Real Money With Google AdSense
There are many Make Money Fast (MMF) websites out there that
tell you it's possible to, well, you know, do just that; make
money fast. However, did you know that although some owners of
these MMF systems have made a total revenue between $300,000 and
$500,000, they're likely to be the same ones that turn up
missing later on down the road, on the run with hundreds of
thousands of consumer dollars? A dangerous situation to find
yourself in.
So why do people do it?
I'll tell you why. It's because of greed and lack of integrity.
Then again, it could just be because certain individuals in
particular are in a tight financial situation and essentially
need to find a way to make a little bit of extra cash fast to
pay off their bills for the month. Believe it or not, there are
indeed legit reasons why people seek out MMF websites.
But why risk yourself being in a situation where you end up
being part of the statistical count that contributed to those
hundreds of thousands of dollars that are now at the disposal of
the owner of a MMF chain, who presumably is nowhere to be found?
Because there is actually a better and more proven way to make
money through a company that has a lot of reputation and
integrity on the Internet, called Google. That's why!
How It Works: Great, Just Another Referral Downline System Again
No, not at all! What I'm about to show you has nothing to do
with referrals, works solely based on an honor system, and is
driven to success by the work you put into it. Although it is
indeed the fastest way I've made real money on the Internet
(well, aside from an online coding contractor I work for), you
still have to work for it.
So here's how it works. Company A out there is just being
started, and believes that they've found the answer to man's
problems. They're 99.9% sure that their product will sell. So
what do they do? They run to Google and pay them to list their
business in featured search result listings. This maximizes
Company A's exposure out on the web. Google will also list
Company A's advertisements in what is called Google AdSense
(textual advertising). These are usually content related text
advertisements which webmasters and publishers place
strategically on their website and are commonly recognized as
"Ads by Google."
The webmasters and publishers that put forth Google AdSense on
their websites are first approved for AdSense. Once a high
volume of traffic starts flowing through their website, those
AdSense banners start generating revenues as more and more
clicks on the links are received. So if you haven't figured out
by now, this is indeed a Pay Per Click (PPC) system.
How Much?: Expected Potential Earnings You're probably wanting
to know right away how much you'll be earning. So I'll just give
you a rough estimate of what to expect assuming all goes well
with your website. If done properly, a single website can
generate on average, revenues ranging between $200-$600 a month.
Not bad, considering this is only for one website. I don't like
jumping the gun too soon like this, but let's fast forward in
time where this is indeed how much your website is making. Now
what? Start up another site! This doubles your income over two
streams of revenues, and with each making $200-$600 a month, you
can see how things can really add up!
Getting Started: Making The First Step Towards Success These
first few steps are extremely critical so please pay attention
to detail.
You will need a web hosting provider - Please, I urge you, don't
settle for anything less than what you're capable of doing. Go
the extra mile and actually subscribe to a cheap web hosting
provider. The one currently hosting The Article Project is
SurfSpeedy.com on a redundant Cisco network and OC-48 SONET
rings. In other words, 99.9999% uptime. I'm currently getting
all the server side scripting I need, a secure hosting system,
fast network, 1000MB of hosting space, and delegation for my
domain, along with tons of other features I'll probably never
use during the life of the account. How much am I paying for all
this? Less than $5.00 a month! Once you have a place to serve up
your website, start looking into registering a domain name - Try
to aim for something that you and your visitors can remember off
the top of their head if they were to look at it once and almost
forget about it. If your website is about "How To Use The
Internet," see if www.usingtheinternet.com is available. When
you've decided on a name, I'd recommend you go with iDotz.net
and register a .com domain for less than $9.00 a year! The
reason I'd recommend them is because they were the first ones I
ran into that allowed you to pay via PayPal. Now put those two
together, web hosting and a good domain name, and you're set to
go! Create a plan for action and stick to it - I'll be honest
with you upfront. Chances are, you may not reach your financial
goal by the end of the first month. In fact, the excitment of
being able to get your money's worth out of the work you put
into your website, may turn into monotony and discouragement.
But don't lose hope! You need to stick to what you've set out to
do, keep your website up to date on the hour if necessary, and
make sure your visitors have plenty to read! Avoid rambling on
about nothing and don't cheat - Google has perhaps the largest
database in the world, full of website listings and search
results. Chances are, if you mirror your website with another
content saturated website that's been around for quite some
time, and Google does one of their special keyword analysis
trick on your website and finds out about it, your AdSense
application will most likely be turned down for unauthentic
content. Have an open mind and be creative with your writing.
Shoot for about 25 solid web pages before you submit your Google
AdSense application. Bottom line, give them something to talk
about! You'll need it in the months to come! Begin formulating
marketing thoughts - This is perhaps where the line between
sanity, and spamity comes in that you'll end up approaching
before too long. Some webmasters can't keep their cool and end
up going off the deep end, spamming hundreds of innocent lives,
and contaminating hundreds more of chat rooms and IRC channels.
Don't do this! Play it smart and submit your website manual to
search engines that provide the service for free. One great way
to do this is to submit your site to The Open Directory Project
at dmoz.org. It may take a few weeks, but your listing will
eventually show up in Google as well. Also, sign up with
TrafficSwarm.com and surf for unlimited free credits that can be
redeemed for visitors. I've acquired over 2700 credits through
TrafficSwarm. It took me a few days, but it saved me $40.00 of
having to pay for just as many credits by simply surfing for a
few days. Stay on top of things - Keep yourself one step ahead
of your visitors. For every 100 visitors (unique or not) that
come, plan to write one more article or section of your website;
make it a news item or something. Keep your website clean and
neatly organized, don't let it end up looking like your
brother's bedroom or closet a few months down the road from now.
And if things begin to pick up with your website, set aside an
email account and allow your visitors to send in their own
articles or writings for you to publish. This in itself could be
very rewarding because not only will your visitors end up
generating your revenues, but they could also end up being your
main supplier of articles to publish. The main point of
discussion here, though, is to stay on top of things and keep up
with the work. You'll eventually be glad you did later on down
the line when you're short $200 on a down payment for a new
Honda Civic. Getting Finished: Bringing Your Website Before the
Judges Okay, so this is the moment you've all been waiting for.
Spit shine that last corner of your website and get ready to
show it off. Then make your way over to
http://www.google.com/adsense and send in your application. It
will take a couple days for your application to be reviewed and
accepted, if in the likely event that it is. Once you've been
approved, login to your account and start generating your text
advertisements, placing them neatly on your website. Then let
the fun begin!
