Facts About AdSense
Make Money With Google AdSense
Anyone who owns or is thinking about creating a website would be crazy to ignore this.
I am happy to say that making money with your site, no matter the topic, has become easier than it's ever been before - and it's 100% legitimate.
If AdSense had been available in 2000, I would have NEVER shut down my soap opera fan site that received 200 hits per day. I would have been able to earn money from that traffic and probably turned a small profit.
Untold Facts About AdSense you need to know in order to succeed with the program!
Yes, the money can be great, but if you don't learn how to build a site that attracts targeted traffic then you won't make much from AdSense.
Don't pay a cent for these "Get Rich Quick" books on AdSense. Many of them are all hype. Learn all you need to know for free.
From AdWords to AdSense
Google.com earns most of its revenue by allowing other website owners to advertise on their search result pages. All this is managed through a program they call AdWords.
Now you can earn a share of the revenue that Google earns from AdWords by placing these same text ads on your site. In other words, you're helping Google advertise and they pay you a percentage of what they earn.
This program is called AdSense.
Every website owner should be involved in this. It's just too good of an opportunity to pass up. Even if your site is just for information purposes, you can still participate and make decent money with AdSense -- or at least enough to fund your website.
So if you are one of those people that don't like the idea of paying for a site, this is an excellent way to earn your money back and then some.
Even if you earned as little as $10 in a month, it would more than likely cover some or all of the costs for your web site. Perhaps you are simply looking for ways to add additional revenue to your website, then it's perfect for that situation too.
This program is getting so popular, people are creating websites just to display the ads and profit from Google's AdSense alone.
I don't usually like to use the term "easy money" because there really is no such thing. You still have to create your own website and learn how to bring in traffic in order to make good money with this program.
I certainly don't want to make it sound like you get something for doing absolutely nothing. There's no such thing.
However, I've got to say that AdSense is probably the closest you'll ever come to fast money on the Internet -- especially if you already have a website that gets a good amount of traffic.
What's even better...the program is completely free. You can also use it on multiple websites and there is no limit to the amount you can earn.
How AdSense Works
You can watch my video below for a quick overview, but I still recommend reading this page because it's much more thorough than the 4-minute video.
And now for the text version of how AdSense works...
If you go to Google.com and do a search for almost any keyword phrase, you'll notice some "Sponsored Links" that appear on the right side of the screen that are relevant to the keywords you just searched for.
Website owners pay Google to display these ads and are charged a predetermined amount every time their ad gets clicked by a web surfer. With the AdSense program, you will display these same text ads on your site just like Google and get paid for it as well.
All you do is copy and paste some provided HTML code into your pages and Voila! the ads will show up. Every time an ad is clicked on your site, you will receive a certain percentage of what Google receives from the advertiser.
Once your account reaches $100, you'll receive a check in the mail.
"Is Google Crazy?"
I know what you're probably thinking...
"What's the catch here? Why would Google just give away money advertisers are paying them?"
The answer...
Because Google is very smart.
Now that I understand how AdSense works, I can see that it's a win-win situation for everyone involved, and the bottom line benefits Google. Let me explain...
Since the advertiser's ads are now being displayed on more web sites all over the internet (instead of just Google's site), they are getting much more exposure. More exposure means more clicks and even more traffic for their site over a shorter period of time.
This is good news for Google because the more traffic the advertisers receive, the faster their advertising funds are used up.
Remember, they get charged every time their site gets a visit; and of course, it is Google's hope that they'll continue to keep funneling more money into their account for more ad exposure.
What an ingenious way for Google to increase the amount of money they earn from advertisers while building loyalty with website owners (like us) who are now getting paid to help them advertise.
Of course, I'd expect nothing less from the most popular search engine on the web. :)
My Personal AdSense Story
I have been receiving monthly checks from Google since 2003, and I've read numerous success stories of websites earning 5 digit incomes per month with AdSense.
Now, I will admit, a 5-digit commission in a single month is probably not the norm for most participants. I promote AdSense on three of my websites and my checks have been as high as $4,000, but usually average around $2,000.
I would estimate that my earnings are above average and that is mainly because I keep adding more content to my sites on an ongoing basis.
The more information you have, the greater chance you have of attracting free search engine traffic. That's why it's so very important you choose a topic you have an interest in so you can keep building and building.
My checks weren't always that large. I think my first month's earnings in 2003 totaled less than $20. However, I kept getting more and more search engine traffic by adding more content and the checks slowly began to increase. I had no idea it would grow to anything like this.
COPYCATS BEWARE!
I read an article about a lazy person that copied someone else's content word for word and pasted on their own site. They tried to join AdSense and they were rejected for unauthentic content. I don't know how Google found out their site was a duplicate of someone else's but they did.
Not to mention, the search engines are now ignoring pages with duplicate content. So all the thieves out there that are too lazy to come up with their own content are now finding that they cannot get their site ranked in Google, Yahoo and MSN simply because they've copied someone else's work.
It's not worth the risk. Not to mention, it's illegal to republish someone else's work without permission. That's why you should choose a topic you know a lot about or at least have a great interest in.
There's no reason to copy off someone else's site. Be original. Laziness always comes to bite you in the long-run.
"How Much Can I Earn With AdSense?"
Google does not disclose exactly how much you'll earn per ad that is clicked.
The commission you receive per click depends on how much advertisers are paying Google for the particular ad. You will earn a share of that amount. I've heard of earnings anywhere from 2 cents to $15 per click.
So it is logical to believe that keyword phrases like debt free, employment, make money, mp3, sex, etc. will earn you more per click since these are highly competitive keywords that are searched for quite a bit on the web.
Advertisers generally pay more for popular terms because they are searched for more.
Even though Google will not reveal how much you are earning for each ad that is clicked from your site, you can still login to your account at any time and see the total amount of revenue you've generated that day, week, month, year, etc.
For example, if you see that you've made $12.60 today from 9 clicks then you can calculate that your average click-thru commission was $1.40 per click. That's as detailed as their stats will get. Also remember, that's only an average. You won't know how much each specific ad brought in.
The amount you'll earn also depends largely on the amount of targeted traffic you receive to your own site, how well the ads match your audience's interests, the placement of the ads on your pages, and of course the amount you receive per click.
Ideally, you should create a site on a topic you know a lot about. That way you'll have a much easier time creating a generous amount of content on that subject.
How Google Matches the Ads to Your Site's Content
One of the main reasons this program is so successful is because the ads that are displayed closely match the content of your website. This increases the chances that someone will click on the ads.
Here's how Google accomplishes the content match...
"...We go beyond simple keyword matching to understand the context and content of web pages. Based on an algorithm that includes such factors as keyword analysis, word frequency, font size, and the overall link structure of the web, we know what a page is about, and can precisely match Google ads to each page."
So let's say you have an information website about yoga. Once you join AdSense and paste their ad code into your site, Google's technology will determine the topic of the pages by scanning for keyword repeats, page title, etc.
If successful, you will see ads that relate to yoga displayed on your web pages. Of course, the more related the ads are to your site's content, the better the click-thru.
Keep in mind, the ads may not be an exact match because it depends on the ads inside Google's database. So instead of seeing yoga ads, you may see more generic ads like exercise, healthy eating, etc. This is not a bad thing because these are topics your visitors will likely be interested in as well.
Why I Believe AdSense Works So Well
For years, website owners have tried to make money from their sites by putting up banner ads in hopes of visitors clicking them. The problem with banner ads is that the Internet audience is so immune to them, people do not click on them anymore.
When's the last time you clicked a banner ad?
...Exactly!
Second, in order for the web site owner to earn money from that banner ad, usually the web surfer that clicks has to purchase something. With AdSense, your visitors just have to click the ads. They don't have to purchase a single thing.
Third, most people that use banner ads do not do a good job of matching the ads to the website's content so the click thru percentages are dismal.
With Google's AdSense, not only are you displaying text ads, (which tend to receive a much higher click-thru rate than banner ads), but you are displaying contextual ads that match your website's content....thanks to Google's advanced technology.
Lots of times people think the ads are part of your site's content so they click because the information is relevant to your site. Whereas with banner ads, they often have little relevance and people tend to ignore them no matter how much they flash and fly across the page.
Creating Your Website for AdSense
Before you even begin your site, make sure you've come up with a topic that you feel you know plenty about. That way it will be easiest to write a lot of content.
The more content you have, the better chance you have getting accepted into the program. Also, the more content, the greater the earning potential. AdSense is nothing but a numbers game. If you want to make a lot of money, prepare to write a lot of content.
Now let's talk about building your website. There are two ways you can approach this:
1) Do it Yourself (DIY) from scratch
2) Use Site Build It! (SBI!)
The Do It Yourself Method
I've actually used both methods for building my site and there are advantages and disadvantages to both.
If you use the DIY method, you will have to go and register a domain name (yoursite.com) and then sign up for a web host and build your pages. You can either learn HTML or buy some kind of web editor like Microsoft FrontPage to build your pages. That's the method I used to build this site.
Averaging between $7 and $15 per month, the DIY method is usually the most cost friendly of the two but you are mostly on your own in terms of learning how to create your web pages and adding the AdSense code to your site.
Web hosts are generally there to house your site. They don't specialize in helping you market and optimize your site for the search engines to help you get traffic. So don't expect a lot from them in terms of helping you market your site.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. I had to learn how to build this site on my own and it wasn't very difficult.
I bought Microsoft FrontPage and in about a day or two my site was up and running. So if you don't mind learning, it's definitely doable. In fact, most people use the DIY method to build their websites. The 2nd method below is fairly new in comparison.
Use Site Build It! - A Web Host Made for AdSense
This is a revolutionary web host like no other. I use it for my site, www.flat-stomach-exercises.com, and after only 11 months the site was earning over $700 per month for AdSense alone.
Two years after launch, the total monthly earnings shot up to $2,000 to $2,500.
Today, the site continues to earn money from AdSense yet I have no products to sell. I'm simply offering information on a topic I know a lot about and SBI showed me how to rank high in the search engines for various keyword phrases. Over 90% of traffic comes from the free search engines.
The reason SBI is different from the other do-it-yourself hosts is that first it provides all the web page building and marketing help all in one place. Your domain registration, web hosting and marketing help come with the price.
Super Easy Web Page Builder
Creating your pages is as simple as entering text into form fields and using the user-friendly editor to add text, create links, add pictures and more. No software is needed to install or download. You simply select a template you want to use and your site is built in seconds...literally.
I took a screenshot of the SBI! interface...
Free Guides
What's even better is that you will have access to tons of free guides that show you how to optimize your site for the popular search engines so you can get as much free traffic as possible.
Remember, without traffic, you won't make any money with AdSense. That's why having a host like SBI is so important. Keep in mind, a regular DIY host does NOT help you with search engine rankings and traffic.
Brainstorming Tool
Site Build It also comes with a powerful brainstorming tool. So for all of you sitting there wondering about a topic, this tool literally scours the net and helps you decide on the best topic by showing demand and supply (i.e. number of sites on X topic and roughly how feasible it will be to bring in traffic for that particular subject). It is amazing.
The creator of Site Build It even built a micro site that describes how to maximize your AdSense earnings. And since Site Build It's main goal is to show you how to build income through content...it's almost as if AdSense was designed specifically for a web host like SBI.
See the SiteSell AdSense site here.
I highly recommend using SBI -- especially if you plan on building a site specifically to earn money from AdSense. It is the kind of host that stands for everything AdSense is about -- rewarding website owners for building an abundance of useful content.
Even though the two companies are not related, it really is the perfect marriage between a great concept like AdSense and a web host that is dedicated to showing you how to make money by simply providing information.
Successful SBI Websites
Be sure to also take a peek at all the successful SBI websites created by mostly beginners who have never created a site before. Every site listed on this page is in the top 3% in terms of amount of traffic received on the web - thanks to the SBI search engine help.
How to Join AdSense
After you have created your website, click the button on the right to join. Most sites are either accepted or rejected within 24 to 48 hours, so you shouldn't have to wait too long to find out if your application has been approved.
Once you've been accepted, simply copy and paste the provided HTML code into any page that you'd like to show the ads. If you've done a good job of defining the content on your web pages, the ads that show should be relevant to the content of your page...increasing the chances of click-thrus by your visitors.
You can either display the ads vertically along side the page like Google does or in a banner-like formation horizontally across your pages. The placement is up to you. You can even customize the colors to match your site's theme.
If Your Site Is Rejected by Google...
If you receive that email from Google stating that your site has not been accepted, the first thing you should remember is that as an AdSense member, you become a partner and are representing Google, Inc.
They have to make sure the websites that display these ads are up to par or they could run the risk of losing advertisers. Imagine if you were paying Google to display your ad and you found it showing up on a poorly developed, junky website.
Of course, if your site is rejected, it doesn't mean it is poorly developed. There may be other reasons:
1) Is your site an "About Me" page?
Google does not usually accept these kinds of personal sites because most of them do not have a specific topic or theme. They are usually just random facts about the website owner or their hobbies, pictures, etc.
It would be difficult for Google's technology to display targeted ads on these kinds of pages because the topics vary from subject to subject.
They are looking for "themed" sites that contain a generous amount of information on a specific topic. It could be anything from sewing tips to sports. Just make sure there is an obvious theme with adequate information.
2) Is your site organized?
Be sure your site has a neat and clean navigation that's easy to follow. Also ensure all the links work and that there are no typos. Keep the colors to a minimum and make sure each page has a consistent layout.
3) How many pages are on your site?
Even though Google doesn't specify a page number requirement, many believe they are looking for web sites with a certain amount of content. Again, it's not likely a two-page site will get accepted. Try to strive for at least 15 pages.
4) Is your content solid?
Don't just submit a website with a bunch of links to other sites. Be sure you have a themed/niche site with enough original content of your own.
5) Is your site an exact carbon copy of someone else's?
Some believe Google can find out if your site is original or not. Don't risk it and steal from someone else. It will come back to haunt you.
If you're stuck, write a few articles of your own and then go to sites like www.articlecity.com and sprinkle a few of their articles around your site to beef it up.
6) Be sure to read their program policy and procedures carefully and make sure your site hasn't violated any of the terms.
Tips on Succeeding With AdSense
Here are some tips for achieving success with AdSense.
1. Create a website with your (YourSite.com). Don't try to use a free web host because your site will likely have banners and pop-ups and get rejected because it looks unprofessional. Not to mention, a free web host will give you a website address like this:
http://thefreewebhost.com/yoursite/member1234/home.html
instead of...
http://www.yoursite.com
See how much more clean, concise and professional that last link is?
If paying for a website causes you to frown, remember the money you earn from AdSense could more than pay for the web hosting fees you'll incur.
Look at it as an investment instead of a cost. I never dreamed I'd have this much success with this program. My AdSense earnings clearly outweigh the few dollars I pay every month to maintain my sites.
2. If you don't know web programming or have no desire to learn it, get a beginner's design editor like Dreamweaver (what I use) or CoffeeCup. You can publish your content directly to the web from the software.
Keep in mind you can't use the software alone. You must have a web host that will allow you to publish your site to the Internet. (More on web hosting in a sec.)
3. If the main goal of your site is to make money with AdSense, be sure to choose a topic that you know a lot about so you can write lots and lots of content.
Don't like to write? No problem! There are sites like www.ezinearticles.com that provide free articles with reprint rights. Just search their database and find articles that match the theme of your site.
Don't rely completely on sites like this, however. You'll definitely want to have some of your own unique content. A few articles from these sites is fine, but relying on them for 90% of your information is not going to help your site.
4. Get traffic. Once your site is up and running you'll need to learn how to get your site listed in the major search engines.
Getting into Google is completely free and can bring in hundreds or even thousands of visitors per day. All you have to do is submit your site to them and wait patiently while Google ads it to the index. It can take a few months. Patience is key with Google. Then do the same with Yahoo, MSN, etc.
And while you're waiting it's important you build up as much unique content around your theme as possible. Google loves large sites with useful content centered around a specific theme. Don't create a hodgepodge site with topics on everything under the sun. Stay focused and make sure your site has an obvious theme.
5. Partner up with other related sites and participate in link swaps. This means that you place a link to another person's site on your own site and they do the same for you in return. This is a great way to get even more free traffic.

Why Most People Fail With AdSense
It's a depressing title, but unfortunately it's true. Watch my video below so you can avoid common pitfalls many Webmasters make with AdSense...

AdSense Account Setup
AdSense Account Setup – Part 1 (Enrolment Form)
As the benefits from Google AdSense program start getting clear to you, you (as
a website owner) would be inquisitive as to how you can setup your Google
AdSense account and whether it takes a lot of time to set up an AdSense
account. Let’s take a look at how you can setup your Google AdSense account:
So, you have decided to go ahead and use Google AdSense for generating
revenue from your website. Google AdSense doesn’t need you to sell any
products or services. With Google AdSense, you are just selling advertising
space on your website. And the best part is that Google doesn’t discriminate
between websites; so, any website owner can enroll with Google AdSense
program (as long as it adheres to the Google AdSense program policies).
Moreover, setting up a Google AdSense account is so easy that you can literally
start generating revenue within 15 minutes.
F or en r o l l in g to th e Goog le AdS en s e p r o g r am, g o to
https://www.google.com/AdSense and click on the ‘Click here to Apply’ button. You
will be presented with an enrolment form where you need to fill-in some details
like your website information (URL and website language), the Google AdSense
products that you wish to use (i.e. AdSense for Content or AdSense for Search),
your contact information, your email address and your preferences. You will also
need to select an account type (business/individual) for your AdSense Account
and agree to the various policies, terms and conditions of Google AdSense
program. The account type will not affect your revenues in any way; it is there
just to determine if the payment is to be made in the name of a company or an
individual. The email address and the password that you provide during the
enrolment process will be required by you for logging into your account later on.
Note that you will be referred to as publisher by the Google AdSense program;
so when you return back to the Google AdSense website, you will be asked to
enter your login details as an ‘Existing Publisher’. That’s it. You can now submit your application form for Google to evaluate and
get back to you.
AdSense Account Setup – Part 2 (Essential Customizations)
The second step in setting up your Google AdSense Account is to do
customization (some essential customizations). Let’s check when you can start
with the second step of setup and what you need to do as part of essential
customizations:
Once you are done with setting up your Google AdSense account and once
Google has approved your application, you are ready to use Google AdSense for
earning revenue from your website. Just login into your account using your email
address and password, click ‘AdSense Setup’ in the top menu and select the
product type (i.e. ‘AdSense for Content’ or ‘AdSense for Search’). You will be
presented with various options for customization of your AdSense Ads. Here we
will take a look at setting up ‘AdSense for Content’ only (however, the setup for
‘AdSense for Search’ is quite similar and equally easy).
The first thing that you need to choose is the Ad type (Ad unit or link unit). Based
on the Ad type you choose, you will need to specify the type of ad (text, image,
etc for Ad unit) or number of links per link unit too. Google AdSense program
allows you to use a maximum of three ad units and 1 link unit per web page (and
you must use both, in order to maximize your AdSense revenue).
The next thing is to choose the Ad layout. There are various layouts available but
large rectangle (336x280) and wide skyscraper (160x600) are preferred over
others (since they help get more impressions for you and hence help you make
more money). Customizing the colors of various parts of your AdSense ad is the next thing you
need to do. Even though customizing colors is optional (as far as the Google
AdSense program is concerned), it’s strongly recommended for making your Ads
attractive and more effective. Your choice of colors must be governed by the look
and feel of your website so that the Ad doesn’t look out of place.
These are the essential customizations that you surely need to do before you can
start using Google AdSense Ads on your website.
AdSense Account Setup– Part 3 (Additional Customizations)
Besides the essential customizations like selecting the Ad type, Ad layout and
colors, there are some other customizations that you can apply to your AdSense
account. In fact, some of these can quite easily be treated as essential
customizations (based on the context of your website) e.g. ‘filters’ is one such
customization that is quite important. Let’s take a look at what these additional
customizations are:
Filters: Google allows you to set-up custom ad filters for your website (note that
this is in addition to the screening of ad content that Google does by default). By
setting up filters you can block competitive Ads and other Ads that you don’t want
to display on your website. In fact, filters are a must if your website sells a
product or a service (unless you want to promote your competitors through your
website).
Alternate Ads: This is something that can help you in preventing underutilization
of the ad space on your website. Alternate Ads are the Ads that you would want
to show up on your website in case sufficient content-relevant Ads are not
available. If you don’t specify alternate Ads and if there are insufficient contentrelated
Ads available, Google AdSense program will serve charitable Ads to your
website (Ads which don’t earn revenue for you).
Reporting And Performance Tracking: You can even customize the reporting
and performance tracking options for your AdSense account. One important tool
in this regard is the use of channels to study the performance of AdSense Ads
from various perspectives. However, you might decide to take this up later down
the line (maybe 1 month after setting up your AdSense account.
AdSense Account Setup – Part 4 (AdSense Code)
This is the final step in the setting up of Google AdSense account. In this step,
you will get the AdSense code that you need to use on your website in order to
start earning revenue from Google AdSense program. Let’s go ahead and work
on this final step:
Once you are done with all the customizations, your AdSense code is generated
in the AdSense Code box. You just need to copy this code (which is in the form
of a programming script) from the AdSense Code box and paste it in your
website as per the guidelines from Google. Since Google allows only three ad
units per page, you can add the code at more than one place in your html code.
The next step is to save your web page to the designated web server (as per the
instructions from your web hosting service provider). Please note that Google
AdSense program does not require you to send over your website’s html code to
them; neither does it ask to load it onto their servers or do anything else with it.
The addition of AdSense code to your website’s code is the only thing that you
need to do. Separate procedures are available with Google for people who want
to use AdSense Ads with their blogs (you can check these on Google’s website
for AdSense program).
Now that everything is done and dusted, you need to wait for a few hours (might
be lesser than that) before Google’s web crawlers find your web page or blog
that has AdSense code on it and you start seeing AdSense Ads on your web
page or blog. You might see some PSA (charitable Ads) initially (almost
immediately) but these will soon get replaced with the AdSense Ads that will earn
revenue for you. If the content on your website violates the AdSense program’s
policies, you might keep seeing PSAs even after few hours. In all such cases (or
if you find objectionable Ads that don’t go even after you have applied
appropriate filters), you will need to contact Google who will sort out the problems
for you.
As the benefits from Google AdSense program start getting clear to you, you (as
a website owner) would be inquisitive as to how you can setup your Google
AdSense account and whether it takes a lot of time to set up an AdSense
account. Let’s take a look at how you can setup your Google AdSense account:
So, you have decided to go ahead and use Google AdSense for generating

program. The account type will not affect your revenues in any way; it is there
just to determine if the payment is to be made in the name of a company or an
individual. The email address and the password that you provide during the
enrolment process will be required by you for logging into your account later on.
Note that you will be referred to as publisher by the Google AdSense program;
so when you return back to the Google AdSense website, you will be asked to
enter your login details as an ‘Existing Publisher’. That’s it. You can now submit your application form for Google to evaluate and
get back to you.
AdSense Account Setup – Part 2 (Essential Customizations)
The second step in setting up your Google AdSense Account is to do
customization (some essential customizations). Let’s check when you can start
with the second step of setup and what you need to do as part of essential
customizations:
Once you are done with setting up your Google AdSense account and once
Google has approved your application, you are ready to use Google AdSense for
earning revenue from your website. Just login into your account using your email
address and password, click ‘AdSense Setup’ in the top menu and select the
product type (i.e. ‘AdSense for Content’ or ‘AdSense for Search’). You will be
presented with various options for customization of your AdSense Ads. Here we
will take a look at setting up ‘AdSense for Content’ only (however, the setup for
‘AdSense for Search’ is quite similar and equally easy).
The first thing that you need to choose is the Ad type (Ad unit or link unit). Based
on the Ad type you choose, you will need to specify the type of ad (text, image,
etc for Ad unit) or number of links per link unit too. Google AdSense program
allows you to use a maximum of three ad units and 1 link unit per web page (and
you must use both, in order to maximize your AdSense revenue).
The next thing is to choose the Ad layout. There are various layouts available but
large rectangle (336x280) and wide skyscraper (160x600) are preferred over
others (since they help get more impressions for you and hence help you make
more money). Customizing the colors of various parts of your AdSense ad is the next thing you
need to do. Even though customizing colors is optional (as far as the Google
AdSense program is concerned), it’s strongly recommended for making your Ads
attractive and more effective. Your choice of colors must be governed by the look
and feel of your website so that the Ad doesn’t look out of place.
These are the essential customizations that you surely need to do before you can
start using Google AdSense Ads on your website.
AdSense Account Setup– Part 3 (Additional Customizations)
Besides the essential customizations like selecting the Ad type, Ad layout and
colors, there are some other customizations that you can apply to your AdSense
account. In fact, some of these can quite easily be treated as essential
customizations (based on the context of your website) e.g. ‘filters’ is one such
customization that is quite important. Let’s take a look at what these additional
customizations are:
Filters: Google allows you to set-up custom ad filters for your website (note that
this is in addition to the screening of ad content that Google does by default). By
setting up filters you can block competitive Ads and other Ads that you don’t want
to display on your website. In fact, filters are a must if your website sells a
product or a service (unless you want to promote your competitors through your
website).
Alternate Ads: This is something that can help you in preventing underutilization
of the ad space on your website. Alternate Ads are the Ads that you would want
to show up on your website in case sufficient content-relevant Ads are not
available. If you don’t specify alternate Ads and if there are insufficient contentrelated
Ads available, Google AdSense program will serve charitable Ads to your
website (Ads which don’t earn revenue for you).
Reporting And Performance Tracking: You can even customize the reporting
and performance tracking options for your AdSense account. One important tool
in this regard is the use of channels to study the performance of AdSense Ads
from various perspectives. However, you might decide to take this up later down
the line (maybe 1 month after setting up your AdSense account.
AdSense Account Setup – Part 4 (AdSense Code)
This is the final step in the setting up of Google AdSense account. In this step,
you will get the AdSense code that you need to use on your website in order to
start earning revenue from Google AdSense program. Let’s go ahead and work
on this final step:
Once you are done with all the customizations, your AdSense code is generated
in the AdSense Code box. You just need to copy this code (which is in the form
of a programming script) from the AdSense Code box and paste it in your
website as per the guidelines from Google. Since Google allows only three ad
units per page, you can add the code at more than one place in your html code.
The next step is to save your web page to the designated web server (as per the
instructions from your web hosting service provider). Please note that Google
AdSense program does not require you to send over your website’s html code to
them; neither does it ask to load it onto their servers or do anything else with it.
The addition of AdSense code to your website’s code is the only thing that you
need to do. Separate procedures are available with Google for people who want
to use AdSense Ads with their blogs (you can check these on Google’s website
for AdSense program).
Now that everything is done and dusted, you need to wait for a few hours (might
be lesser than that) before Google’s web crawlers find your web page or blog
that has AdSense code on it and you start seeing AdSense Ads on your web
page or blog. You might see some PSA (charitable Ads) initially (almost
immediately) but these will soon get replaced with the AdSense Ads that will earn
revenue for you. If the content on your website violates the AdSense program’s
policies, you might keep seeing PSAs even after few hours. In all such cases (or
if you find objectionable Ads that don’t go even after you have applied
appropriate filters), you will need to contact Google who will sort out the problems
for you.
AdSense’s Place In The Online Advertising World
Let’s start our journey in the world of Google AdSense by first understanding how
the online advertising came into being and how Google AdSense is place with
respect to the other online advertising concepts:
Soon after the advent of internet, it was realized that the website real estate (or
the space on websites) had commercial value in the advertising world. The
simple reason behind this was the soaring popularity of internet and the
increasing number of eyeballs received by various websites. Thus, internet
advertising (or online advertising) came into being. Today, internet advertising is
treated as one of the most effective and most economical means of advertising.
In fact, a lot of businesses, especially small businesses, use only this (affordable)
medium for advertising their products and services. As technology progressed,
so did the online advertising methodologies. Graphics based banner Ads and text
Ads got their due recognition and were used quite extensively for online
advertising. Even now banner advertising is one of the most popular forms of
online advertising.
However, the real breakthrough in online advertising came with Google AdSense
advertising program. This program helped in connecting advertisers to several
website owners who were ready to offer advertising space on their websites.
Through Google AdSense program, the advertisements were floated on the
websites that had some relevance to the products or services offered by the
advertiser. This type of advertising is also called targeted advertising since the
Ads are served only to the interested audience and not just anyone or everyone.
Soon, Google AdSense became a very effective form of targeted advertising. On
Google AdSense program, webmasters are paid on per-click and per-thousand-
Ads-displayed basis. And the advertisers can control the amount of money they wish to spend on
advertising through Google Adwords program that works in conjunction with the
AdSense program.
Google AdSense program has caught the fancy of a lot of advertisers and
webmasters and its popularity continues to soar everyday. Until another, better
advertising program comes into being; Google AdSense will continue to hold its
place at the core of online advertising.
