What is Adsense, how does it make money?
----------------------------------------------
Adsense is a
service offered by Google that allows you to place other peoples
adverts on web pages / web sites. To do this you simply paste a
bit of HTML code supplied by Google into your web pages and
Google automatically inserts appropriate adverts directly into
your web pages based upon the content that you include within
the page.
Whenever a visitor clicks on one of these
adverts, Google pays you money based on how much the advertiser
is willing to pay for each click. This can range from a few
cents / pennys all the way up to many dollars / pounds per
click.
Using Google adwords on your site is an easy way
to generate money without having to write adverts or have
products to promote.
Although you can use Adsense with
any web page, there are a lot of factors in making a successful
Adsense site, such as choosing good keywords around which to
base the content and getting links to your site to build your
search engine ranking.
The key to it all is traffic.
The more visitors you get to your Website the more clicks you
are potentially going to get. If you couple this with good ad
positioning and styling you can make a serious sum of cash via
the Google Adwords System.
Putting Adsense on a Website
----------------------------------
You will need to sign up
for a free account over at Google for the Adwords program. They
will perform a review of your Website and tell you when you have
been excepted into the program. Once this has been done you can
use Adsense on any Website you like.
If you do not
currently have a Website, or in truth simply do not know how to
make web sites etc you can use Google to find many places online
that help you create a Website from scratch or you can buy ready
made templates like the ones found at Adsense Ready
or Adsense
Pages. The advantage of these template packages is that they
already have spaces made for inserting Adsense in the best way
possible. Additionally they include instructions on how to use
them which takes a lot of the guess work away from using
Adsense.
If you currently have no where to host your
web sites (a place to keep them online so people can see them)
then you will need to get hosting as well. There are hundreds
and thousands of web hosting companies out there. Your current
provide of Internet access may even offer free web space with
your package. If they do not then a personal recommendation
would be Site5 who
offer very affordable and reliable space where you can keep as
many web sites as you need.
STOP!! You can NOT go any
further until you have a Website online and Google have reviewed
/ approved it. Because of the time period Google take to review
the sites it would be worth getting something online now and
requesting your account. While your new site is being reviewed
you can carry on with the customisation and extras.
Once you have your hosting, and have made your Website you are
ready to start putting Adsense into your pages. If you got one
of the template packs made for Adsense mentioned above then you
will no doubt be able to skip all this as they make it very easy
to set everything up. Otherwise its time to head to the Google
Website and read their help files located here

How do I get everything set up just right
--------------------------------------------
The Adsense
help pages are fantastic for informing you on how to put Adsense
in your site but they do not really explain the best ways in
which to customise the ads and work the content in so you get
the most money.
It's ok though as there are plenty of
places on the net that offer this information such as Google
Adsense Secrets - Second Edition which is quite probably the
best information you can buy. I use it myself can in the last
month or so have increased my Adsense earnings to over $2000 /
