Start Making Money with AdSense

Lets start from the scratch. I will try my best to share my AdSense experiences to help you starting AdSense campaign. I am not making millions out of AdSense but I manage to earn something out of AdSnese with the little traffic I get without using any black-hat hacks or tricks.


Whats is AdSense?
AdSense is a service provided by Google to display content related advertisements on a webpage (Mainly) and there are couple of other options. Valid clicks on the advertisements will generate income (Pay Per Click).  As your total reach $100 Google will send you a cheque or direct deposit the total in to nominated bank account. (Google's definition of AdSense)


Can You Trust AdSense?
Yes. Simply AdSense is part of web giant Google and well recognized program.


How AdSense Works?
Simply it is link with AdWords. Advertisement publishers will create advertisements and define a maximum value they would like to pay per click. As you setup your website to display Google AdSense ads it will pickup related advertisements from AdWords and display it in your website.

When a visitor clicks on a advertisements....

Google will charge the advertiser X amount for directing a new visitor to advertisers web page and give you a percentage of it. Rest will be for Google for providing the service. Google define this as a WIN WIN (WIN) situation.

  • Advertiser gets new visitors (ideally leads) for little money and only pays for the valid clicks. (WIN)


  • AdSense user (YOU) will get paid for hosting Advertisements on your web page and directing your visitors to  Advertisers website. (WIN)

  • Google been the middle man get the profit for providing the service. (Of Course thats a WIN)


Before Setup an AdSense Account

Just need to have a website that meet the AdSense program policy and eligibility criteria. (In some locations, including China and India, we require publishers to have owned their sites for 6 months. ) However, I would like to add two more conditions on top of it.

  • Website should get more than 100 unique visitors per day.
  • Website should target general audience and not for AdSense gigs.

If you have a website that meet this requirements you should think of setting up AdSense account and start making money. Otherwise you should think of creating website or a blog that gets around 100 visitors first.

Reason behind this is that you will have enough work load, frustration, stress or what ever you call it during the time you start bringing more and more visitors to your website from zero level. To see zero income or something close to zero income from AdSense over that period will add more frustration. Without traffic you cannot make money from AdSense.

What should I do Now?

Start thinking of creating a website or blog that can get attention of majority or general users and start gathering more facts about the subject. If you already have a cool website full of visitors why don't you add AdSense ads to it.

  4. 100 unique visitors per day might not be required for AdSense approval. In my case, I don't have 100 unique visitors per day. I think the key is to have popular contents.

  5. absolutely right. content and keyword are the two main thing for the success. before starting the site-making, you should research on the content which is always a need for common people all over the world. then the next trigger that will heat the ultimate is the appropriate keywords. rest is the process of watching the scene of increasing visitors. at least i have faced it and earning $ 45 per day now with my single nine month old site.

  6. I am stuck still at about 2$ - 5$ per WEEK currently. However, I am starting to get a lot more visitors -- around about 250 or more per day -- so I think that this figure will go up some.

  7. JC thanks for the comment. Try the followings, add AdSense ads in the middle of the post or just after the heading. Change the Ad Title colour to red or high contrast colour. It might do some difference.
