Can I really make money with Adsense?

Posted by LaShanda Henry on March 28, 2008 at 6:42pm in Internet Marketing Tips and Tricks
I'm sure there are quite a few online entrepreneurs who are burning to find out if they can really make a realistic income with google adsense? You see all these ads and you see all these sites with adsense plastered all over them and wonder, does google adsense really work? Or rather, can it work for me? Truth be told I have been using adsense for a few years now and I have to say that my adsense paycheck is a stable, much appreciated addition to my monthly income. To be quite honest with you, on average I make between $100 - $500 in adsense monthly, but the more I work on generating more site traffic, writing quality blog content, and expanding my online network, the more my adsense income grows. Though I am not exactly where I want to be yet, financially speaking, here are a few things I learned about using google adsense:
  1. Adsense works best on sites with consistent content and strong, keywords For example: Whether you have a black hair site or black blog: If the text on your site clearly focuses on a particular topic or topics that advertisers are interested in then you can be sure to have relevant ads or your site that your viewers will gravitate to clicking
  2. I always make sure my adsense background and link colors match the design of my site so that they are easily integrated into my site design
  3. I make sure to have ads either at the top of each page or on the top of either the left/or right hand side. Try to have your ads be one of the first things a viewer sees without taking away from the actual content of your site
On the topic of Google Adsense, I recently read this great proBlogger post entitled 'How much do bloggers earn blogging'. According to the poll: 49% earned under $100 23% earned over $1000 16% earned over $2500 9% earned over $15000 I personally am working on being apart of that 9%. I'll be writing more posts on making money online, in the future. Stay tuned. lh.

      The first official PodClass in the Work and Web Women series is ‘How I Pay My Rent Using Google Adsense’. In this edition of the Work and Web Women Series (www.workandwebwomen.com) I am sharing my Adsense Secrets with you. This site is for both men and women entrepreneurs wanting to learn how to better work the web.

      Like many web entrepreneurs, I’ve used Adsense for several years, but for a long time I wasn’t seeing much of a return. After making less than $20 in about 2 years, I decided to get serious about the program so that I could make sense of what Google Adsense is all about. And not, after doing the research and putting plans into practice I make $20 on Adsense in a matter of hours.

      If you think about it, if you make $30 on google adsense every day for a month, you can generate an extra $900 a month just from hosting free ads on your site! It’s a great thought, which has not turned into my reality. I pay my rent with my Google Adense account, and so can you. Listen to this PodClass today, so that you can learn how to better work the web tomorrow! Click here to listen or visit workandwebwomen.com.
