Google Adsense Facts

There were very few ways of making money from websites at one point, affiliate schemes, banners ads, membership fees, selling products. Each one of these have their own problems some being difficult to set up, others not being as affective as they once were and a few being very costly with some times high over heads.

Google adsense to the rescue!
The wise people at the Google plex have come up with a novel idea, they will place ads on your pages that are relevant to your content, these ads are taken from their large database of contextual advertisers - Adwords. When some one visits your site and clicks on an ad Google get paid an agreed amount by the advertiser - Google then shares some of that money with you.

Earn $100000 a Year from Google AdSense, Is that Possible?

Google’s AdSense is a fascinating revenue-sharing opportunity for small, medium and large web sites. Some webmasters are designing brand new sites specifically for serving AdSense text ads. (It’s against the AdSense rules to design a site purely for AdSense, so you’ll want to include a few affiliate Affiliate links or sell your own product, too.)

Let’s say you have a goal of earning $100,000 a year from AdSense. Is that possible? Let’s see … $100,000 divided by 365 = $274 a day. So your goal is to produce either:

• 274 pages which earn $1 a day or
• 548 pages which earn 50 cents a day or
• 1096 pages which earn 25 cents a day
  

The following are hypothetical cases. To earn $1 a day per page, you need, per page…

• 400 visitors, 5% click-through rate (CTR CTR) and average 5c payout.
• Or 200 visitors, 10% CTR and an average 5c payout.
• Or 100 visitors, 10% CTR, and an average 10c payout.
• Or 100 visitors, 5% CTR, and an average 20c payout

Let’s assume you choose a goal somewhere around the middle, say aiming for 50 visitors per page and want 274 pages earning $1 a day. You’d need 274 x 50 = 13,700 pageviews a day.

Does that sound too tough? If so, you’d better look for more profitable keywords and ways to improve your click-through rates.

Let’s try a different scenario, You choose more profitable keywords and make your $1 on average per page from, say, 10 visitors. 274 x 10 = 2740 pageviews a day, That’s looking easier to achieve, If your average visitor sees 3 pages, you now need 913 unique visitors a day.

Is that too tough to achieve in your niche? If so, create two sites, each attracting half that number, 456 unique visitors, a day, Can’t achieve those click-through rates and payouts? Then you’ll either need more pages on your sites on more niche sites.

Please note, because of the AdSense rules, these are all hypothetical cases. I’m not allowed to give real cases. Real CTR rates and payouts vary hugely.Choose the goal which best matches your site or sites.

Then start building keyword-rich pages containing well researched, profitable keywords, and get lots of high quality links to your site.

For example, if your site is about topics such as debt consolidation, web hosting or asbestos-related cancer, you’ll earn much more per click than if it’s about free things.

On the other hand, if you concentrate only on top-paying keywords, you’ll face an awful lot of tough competition.

What you want are keywords that are high in demand and low in supply, So do some careful keyword research before you build your pages.

Google AdSense Tips

I'm a small, independent web publisher like millions of other people. Publishing can be a great hobby, a labor of love or even a small business. In any case, it's nice to see a little money in return for your efforts. And like many others, I've been disappointed by what little revenue web advertising networks and affiliate programs have brought me over the years. So now I'm trying Google AdSense.

Early on, I discovered Google AdSense had great promise. But this promise increased when I began to experiment with ad formats, placement and tracked their effectiveness. My background is in graphic design. I realized I should be applying basic visual principles to how I placed the ads to get them noticed. Beforehand, I'd simply found a "good spot" to tuck them away. The ads did "ok". Once I started working to get the ads noticed, the response rates and resulting revenue improved greatly.
