Can You Really Make Money on Your Website Using Google AdSense - I Am Living Proof!

I want to tell you that I am still making money with Google AdSense to this day and now I am going to share with you the key strategies I used.

The keys to making money with AdSense:

*Have a website with focused information.
*Get traffic to that website.
*Experiment with AdSense ad placement, colors, and sizes.

1. Have a website with focused information
Well this is better if you find a niche topic for your website. Not everyone understands this idea of finding a niche.. A lot of people ask me "What is a keyword?" If you need help with this please read on.

If you find a niche to build your website around and do not stray from the subject then the Google AdSense ads will be highly focused. Obviously if you choose an expensive niche, or a niche where people make money, then your earnings per click will be more.

2. Get traffic to that website
This is the big one...But wait...If you built your website using a highly focused niche and the content is just about this...the ads are going to be temping because they will be very focused too...Therefore more clicks. Do you really need thousands of people coming in or do you need the select few that are focused on your topic and are hungry for that info?

Sure a website with loads of traffic is great..but do you want all that hard work to fly out the door when it too so long to get them there? That's why I think AdSense is better suited to smaller niche websites. The niches where you do not have to work too hard for traffic.

By the way, I just recently attended the World Traffic Summit by Brett Mcfall and Tom Hua. All of the speakers there all had one thing in common. They all mentioned ARTICLE MARKETING. LOL, I thought this went out with the floppy diskette and the old LP record!

3. Experiment with AdSense ad placement, colors, and sizes
Do not expect the clicks to come to you. Move your ads around into different positions and test, test, test. Did I mention that you should test. Change the colors of your ads and constantly experiment with different shapes and sizes. People often slap the Google AdSense ads onto a website and leave them there hoping that someone will click on them.

More quick tips to making money with AdSense:

*Have both image ads and text ads to give your visitor a choice. Some people will avoid banners and some people are attracted to them.

*Make sure AdSense ads look like they are meant to be there. Just remember that everyone hates an over advertised website.

*Make sure your AdSense ads do not out way your content. Content is still king and if you want to earn any money you must make sure you have valuable information on the website.

*Do not put AdSense on websites that have no traffic at all. I have found that this will effect your earnings. Wait until the website is worthy of AdSense ads and you will be rewarded with better earnings.

*Do not put AdSense on a website that you are trying to sell products on. This will distract your visitors from buying your product.

When you are not earning money with AdSense it is hard to believe that someone wants to give you money for simply putting a few ads on your website. However it is all true. You can earn thousands of dollars from AdSense ads, there is no doubt about it. The true key to earning money with Google AdSense is persistence and action. There I say "Just go for it!"
