Making Money On The Internet With Google Adsense Is Not As Easy As Some WIll Tell You

If you are looking for ways to earn money online you may want to consider Google’s AdSense text link advertising. Almost everybody does at some point - and there are probably a couple of million peopel making money selling ways to make money with adsense.

Earning with Google’s AdSense program comes down to three critical factors, and they are really, really simple: The keywords you choose, how you setup your site, and how you promote the site once content has been published.

If you do not have all three pieces of the wheel working, , it is not going to go well for you. The first thing that you need to do is figure out keywords that you are going to target. Search engine visitors are looking for something in particular, and if you are able to target the keywords they use in the search engine with your blog posts properly, you stand to earn money.

The Google AdWords keyword tool is one of the best ways to determine whether or not keywords will be potentially profitable. If there are advertisers bidding on the keyword, determined by the average CPC, and there is significant traffic volume, over 3,000 visitors a day for instance, there is probably money to earn.

The next part of determining whether a keyword will be profitable is the amount of competition by publishers for that keyword. This is absolutely key and where a lot of people fall down. It is all very well finding a profitable keyword - but of the competition is too great - you will never rank in the search engines and will not get any traffic - you will therefore fail.

One good place to learn this is the keyword academy. Go - check them out, sign up for their $1 introductory offer and see what I mean. I will not be going into great details here - but - you need to learn this or you will be wasting your time. I speak from personal experience.

Once you have chosen your keywords, you will need to setup your website. You can use either free hosts, or your own domain and hosting company, but the way you build the site is very similar. You want to make sure that the keywords you have selected are inside of the title on your blog posts and used appropriately throughout your site. Making money with google adsense is not as easy as some may tell you, but it is definitely doable.

You will also need to include the keyword at least a few times throughout the article. This helps let the search engines know what your page is about so they will display it when someone searches for the keyword you are targeting. You are going to want between 5-10 blog posts on your site targeting the main keyword you have selected.For goodness' sake create decent, unique content - the days of writing total garbage with nothing but keywords are gone - Mr. Google gets better every day at spotting nonsense content and you will be wasting your time. Make the information relevant, well written and - if possible - not quite enough for the reader to fulfill their needs.

Next, you are going to need to promote the site:

Using article such as eZineArticles, Hubpages, and InfoBarrel you can send traffic to your website. You are going to want to write the articles in the same manner you did on your website, however, you are going to include two links back to your pages inside of the article. You want these links to contain the keyword that the page they’re linking to targets.Hubpages is also a great plae to make money with adsense - they offer a 60/40 revenue sharing split that allows you to make money and promote your site.

For instance, if the page you were targeting was Blue Widgets, the link would say "Blue Widgets" and link to that page from the social platform article. These links give your pages strength with the search engines, helping you to rank better on the results listings when someone searches for your keyword.

The hub is useful and informative. If you don't mind, I want to tell you one thing. In the second paragraph, "If you are looking for ...........", there is a spelling mistake of the word "People". I just tell u as my friend.

I would like to add the proviso that some well-known bloggers are moving away from the mini-site model as Google seems to be getting rather belligerent. Do you have any opinion on this and whether the mini-site is still the way to go ?

Thanks guys.

@Radley bags - I would say - "it depends" - yes and no - forget it in any sort of vaguely popular niche.

Nice hub you have made but I will add a bit info. To get traffic, writing opportunities are not limited to: eZineArticles, Hubpages, and InfoBarrel, only.

I have shared number of them in my hub, check it out:

Always want information to consider while building traffic and learning about this confusing business. If it was easy though, everyone would be doing it and then it wouldn't be as fun and rewarding. Thanks for all the good advice.

Thanks for this excellent information, Mark. A person can spend so much time trying to earn income online--but without the three steps you mentioned, will be spinning his wheels.

What are your insights about Blogger as compared to WordPress? Blogger is so much easier to use and the free Blogger allows for monetization. I've heard, however, that Blogger blogs do not attract as much search engine traffic.

If you have a informative wordpress site you could try some other affiliate programs as well. You could visit my Hub about a new adsense alternative.

You are spot on, making money saying adsense is not easy, it takes continual hard work but the good thing is anyone can learn to do it.

Something which I have learnt is that even when the competition seems too great for a keyword it is possible to beat the big boys who dominate it. It’s just a case of having a long term plan, sticking to it and working hard. But it has to be said that is not for most people who are looking for quicker returns on their efforts.

Hubpages traffic does not convert as well as search engine traffic usually.
