Monetize your site with Adsense .. Part Three


The second method is when you begin really working in marketing.

You will be building web pages specifically for Adsense ads. These pages will be built with high paying keywords and high quality content.


Start by doing a keyword search to find some popular subjects, keywords or phrases related to the theme of your website. Select the ones that have highest number of searches. This means that more people are typing these terms into the search engines. The higher the number the better.  There are many tools that you can use to find profitable keywords and phrases. For quick and easy results you can use the keyword selector tool at Yahoo Search Marketing. It will give you a count of how many times any keyword has been searched for in the last 30 days. Remember the higher the better!  Another place to check is in Google’s Adwords Tool. 
 

Now start writing articles with original content based on the keywords from your search. If you aren't a writer don't worry. There are many ways that you can get content for your site. You can use private label articles that you purchase, or hire a ghostwriter from a site like eLance.com.  We will cover this in more depth in later lessons.

Once you have the content ready you can start building web pages around the articles that include your Adsense blocks.

Monetize your site with Adsense ..Part Two


You should already have a website or at least a basic theme in mind for your Adsense pages. There are two ways that you can get started using Adsense.

The first and easiest way is to put Adsense ads on existing pages that you already have in place. You can do this by following the steps inside your account under the "Adsense Setup" tab.  If you have a blogger site then follow the steps in the “Design” section and then “Layout” area by simply adding the Adsense “gadget.”


With this method you can start earning money with Adsense fairly quickly. In fact you'll be amazed at the results you will be able to achieve in a very short period of time.


The second method will take a little more time.  We will cover that in the next post.

Monetize your site - Google AdSense part One


Besides adding affiliate links, like Amazon, you can monetize your web site using other types of links.  Google's AdSense program is one of the simplest ways to begin earning money using your blog web site.



Let’s start from the beginning, just in case you are new to Adsense, by going over some of its finer points. For those of you who have used Adsense, you might want to skip to a different Adsense lesson.

Adsense delivers relevant text and image ads that are precisely targeted to your site content. Every time someone sees an ad on your site and clicks on it you will make money. Sometimes it's only a few cents. Sometimes it's a few dollars. It all depends on the individual ad.

Adsense is considered a very powerful tool to many website owners. If you go to most any website these days you will see Adsense ad blocks incorporated somewhere on the page. Did you know that there are many people that make a full time living from Adsense alone?

Adsense makes it pretty easy for you to start earning revenue from every page on your website almost instantly. "If you can copy and paste you can put Adsense on your website". As with any good tool Adsense has the power to help you generate a very nice income when it's used properly.

Let's start off by taking the time to get to know Google Adsense and learn how to use it properly. You would be surprised how many people skip this part and then they are literally shocked when they don't make any money!

If you take a little time to become familiar with the program it will greatly benefit you in the long run, by helping you maximize your earnings. In this course we are going to cover the basic points that you need to start using Adsense and making money with it.

If you haven't already done this, go do it now.

Go apply for your Adsense account. Yes you have to apply and be accepted.


Then take some time exploring the site. Google wants you to be successful in your Adsense endeavors, so they have made it as easy as possible for you by putting up several tutorials to help you get started.

They will teach you all about Adsense for content and search. They have great case studies, optimization tips a blog and a forum where you can learn what works, what doesn't and get help if you need it. They provide all of this for free so why not take advantage of it.

Get the word out

Begin actively participating on online forums, commenting on other blogs, and commenting on social media networks like facebook and twitter.  Try to just be social when you are on other sites - don't try to be a salesperson.  If people like what you have to say in these places they will likely look at your blog (make sure you somehow highlight your website address).  Having fresh and original content on your website will keep readers coming back for more information and they will also be more interested in the items you recommend through your site.

Creating Profitable Affiliate Websites

One of the easiest ways to make money online is by developing a detailed, honest and straightforward review website for your niche market.



A review site offers important information to buyers, such as giving them a breakdown of the product or service, including personal testimonials, feedback as well as getting your visitors involved in posting their own comments and experiences.

One of the greatest aspects of a review site is that it can fit into literally any niche or market online.

From Amazon affiliate review sites, to developing review sites around the television programs, movies and music that you love, you can build a very profitable business online, all powered by targeted review websites!

And the great part is you can build them for free if you put some time into doing it yourself using a service like blogger.
