Make Money Online with Google Adsense

Thursday, April 30, 2009 @ 11:50 pm by ProBlogit.com

Google AdSense is probably the most popular Pay Per Click advertising program among probloggers and hobby bloggers to make money online. Google AdSense is a free advertising program that allows web publishers like bloggers and probloggers to display ads on their blogs and then earn from valid clicks and impressions on those ads.

You as the publisher may not click on your ads or encourage anyone to click on your ads. If Google sees that you click on your ads, as they have ways to monitor it, one is through your IP address, it will be considered invalid clicks and impressions. If it is happening often, it could cause you to be banned from Google AdSense. Kindly read the Google AdSense Program Policies for more detailed information and explanation.

You can earn or make money online from the content on your blog. All what it takes is just a few minutes to sign up for a Google AdSense account and access its features.

1. AdSense for content

This is the common way of earning or making money online. The ads can be placed almost everywhere on your blog, you can put them inside the content itself, on the sidebar, header or footer. You are allowed up to three ads of any sizes on your blog.

2. AdSense for search

This is another way of earning or making money on your blog. I highly suggest that you use this Google AdSense search box instead of the built-in search box. The ads will appear at the search results page once the user use the search box to search for something. You do not earn if the users will use the search box. You can only earn once the users click on the ads on the search results page.

3. AdSense for mobile content

If you also designed your blog for mobile gadgets or phones not only for computers, then you can earn or make money from those ads too.

4. AdSense for feeds

A blog has RSS feed. The ads will appear at the RSS feed of your blog. Users can subscribe free to your blog via RSS feed. It is not necessary to visit the blog if the full text of the content is being shown at the RSS feed. The feed can be configured from your blog that for each article in a feed, you either allow to show the full text of the content or the summary of the content only.

5. AdSense for domains

You can earn or make money from you unused domains. You need to configure this so the name servers point to your domain name. Ads appear almost all over as the main content of the site.

6. AdSense for video

You can also earn or make money from your videos but this is still in limited beta. It is not open to everyone. You need to be somehow invited for you to be able to join and use AdSense for video. As of now while it is in beta, I see that the ads appear while the video is being played.

7. AdSense for games

You can earn or make money from ads on your browser-based games but this is also still in limited beta.

For bloggers and probloggers, the first four features namely AdSense for content, AdSense for search, AdSense for mobile content, and AdSense for feeds are the useful ones to make money online. AdSense for domains can only be applicable to the unused domain names, not to blogs. AdSense for video and AdSense for games are still in limited beta, so you need to wait until it will be opened to everyone.

It is easy to sign up for Google AdSense account especially if you already have a Google account. Remember I asked you to sign up for Google Analytics account before? Hop on to Google AdSense site now and sign up for free Google AdSense account using the Google account that you used when you signed up for Google Analytics account.

Reality check! There is no guarantee if you will really earn or make money from Google AdSense or any advertising program. It takes time to earn or make money from Google AdSense. If you have no content, it is unlikely that you will earn. If you have no traffic or no visitors in your blog, it is also unlikely that you will earn. What am I trying to point out here? It means that you need to write content for your blog and you need to promote your blog.
