How to Make Money Blogging - PPC

If you've read my last tip then you've probably already added AdSense to your blog. If not, GO NOW!! Its a free way to make money on your blog, key words FREE MONEY.

So for the people who took action and now have AdSense on your blog congratulations, and for those who already had it you've most likely figure out by now that the best way to make money with AdSense is... Traffic!

Traffic is the unit used to measure the amount of people who visit your site.

Which leads me to the main topic of this article. PPC

So What Is PPC?

PPC (Pay Per Click) is basically where you bid for keywords that are related to the "niche" of your blog. Then you build an ad around those keywords and that ad will show either right under the search box, or to the right of the search results.

The highest spots on the page go to the highest bidder on the keywords.

If you've done PPC before then you know that this can become quite costly when you are bidding on keywords in a particularly large niche. But i'm about to reveal to you the biggest kept secret of PPC, and its called long tail keywords.

A long tail keyword is about 5 or more words that are closely related to the ad you write.

So for example if you are promoting your weight loss blog, and you find a long tail keyword like lose weight in 5 easy steps, then you would create an add that describes losing weight in 5 steps.

With this simple method, you can get clicks for dirt cheap. Most of my clicks are 5 to 9 cents and through AdSense alone I make 40% of my total online profit.

What Does This All Mean?

So you know how to make money from having people click on ads on your blog. You understand that in order to get those clicks you need traffic. And finally you have discovered how to get cheap traffic to your blog... That's IT!. It's that simple!

For added effectiveness you can put a blog up that coincides with you ad. Then direct your ad to that page on your blog.

If you've done everything correctly and you are paying next to nothing for your clicks, AdSense will have placed high ranking keywords on your page. These can make you anywhere from.45 to $1 per click. So you do the math!

This is just a tiny fraction of the techniques that I have learned from Blogging To The Bank.
