It seems that no matter where and how you write, people want to make money. They want to make a lot of money and make it fast. This is not how the online world and business works. It takes time and energy to build up your work (business) to the point where Google accepts that you are here to stay. Your reputation with Google depends upon the time and energy you put into writing great content and writing each day. It is valuable to build your links.
You need to know where the links are going but also how valuable your links are to your work. This is the only way to increase traffic and to make money. You can also use other affiliate programs but they are the same idea as Google AdSense ads, people need to be interested enough to click on ads.
Bellow are three things you can do to help you make money with Google AdSense and other affiliate programs like it:
1) Build links which work: in other words, the link to a say, a mini website is more valuable to Google than a link from an email address. Of course if the link goes to Wikipedia, then it is more valuable than a mini-website. It is all about page rank. Page rank determines what is going to look good to a search engine and also, if you build up a reputable website your links become more "valuable" and so will your ads.
2) Know the value of time, the longer a website or online article is up, the more value it has... unless it is spam like: Over time you will find that people will look for the best and will link to the best. The more incoming links you have the better. The more links to a site, the stronger and more valuable that site becomes. Google looks for the best value in its search engine, but like any affiliate program, it can figure out what is and is not spam.
3) Content is King, but keywords and knowledge of them are a must: If you content is strong you will get traffic but you might not make money from Google, and the reason for that is because your keyword choice is poor. The keywords are what drives people to your work, but also what makes a good site, better. Use all the information about keywords and build your business with Google AdSense. You will need to use Google AdWords and Google Analytics but in the end you will see success.
