If you run a web site and have been considering running google adsense on your pages but don’t know where to start this post is for you!  Many people know what adsense is, and probably everyone that uses the internet with any kind of regularity has seen the Google ads cleverly planted inside the sites they visit.

What is AdSense?
Google Adsense is a contextual ad service that automatically puts ads related to your page’s content on your site.  You choose the ad style and colors and Google gives you a bit of javascript that you can paste into your HTML.  Google’s bot will visit your site, determine what it is about, and show an advertisement that is usually pretty relevant to the content of the page it is shown on.  This increases your ad clickthrough rate (CTR) dramatically over normal banner advertising. AdSense pays on a per click basis, the price of which varies wildly and is depedent on the topic of the site (how valuable those visitors are to the people purchasing the ads). 

What do I need to make money with adsense?
There are two main things required to make any decent kind of money running google adsense. The first is traffic.  Without visitors there’s nobody to click your ads.  This is obviously very important.  The second is good ad placement.  Even with bad ad placement some people will click them if you get enough traffic.  Good ad placement can make the difference between making a little bit of money or 3 to 4 times that much.  You have to make a good trade-off between ad revenue and annoying your visitors.

I’m not an SEO novice by any means, but I am still learning new things every day. A few days ago I undid some damage that I had caused on one of my sites over a year ago that was penalizing me. Unfortunately I have so many projects going at any given time that I didn’t really notice. Within a few days of fixing the problem my site came back to the top of the Google listings for all the appropriate keywords.

That one little thing might make me enough extra money every month to pay my mortgage. I’ve been doing this for a while now but it still amazes me when I see the power of small things on large scales. If you can create a page/site/product that makes $50 a day without requiring any work that adds up to $1500 every month.

Do that several times and you’ll be making a ton of money online without a lot of ongoing effort. It amazes me that everyone isn’t already doing this. Imagine paying off your car loan in a few months. Imagine paying cash for your next vehicle. Imagine not worrying about where the money for bills is coming from. You’d have to be crazy not to do it too.
