How To Make Money With Google Adsense

Knowing how to make money with Google Adsense still offers one of the most effective, easiest & lucrative opportunities to generate significant revenues.

However whilst this may be true it only rewards those internet marketers who are savvy enough to know how to make money with Google ads by employing the Adsense program to their advantage.

In other words, Adsense does not reward everyone equally even if you think you know how to make money with Google Adsense.

Furthermore, despite knowing how to make money with Google ads, some AdSense publishers will struggle to earn a few measly dollars while others are making more than $100,000 a month.

Which group of Adsense publishers would you rather be in?

I’m sure you would choose to be amongst the big earners, in which case read the following power tips to get your Google Adsense campaign started on the right track.

5 Powerful Tips To Know How To Make Money With Google Ads

Ever wonder why some people are making well more than 5 figures every month without having to do much at all, whilst so many struggle to reach just R100 a month with Adsense?

These 5 factors can have a massive influence on your Adsense earning potential despite you thinking you know everything about how to make money with Google Ads;

  1. Niche

    Choose your website’s niche, theme, or topic carefully.

    If the niche is not a popular one there may not be enough Google Adwords advertisers for Adsense to serve up enough relevant ads on your web page.

  2. Compelling Content

    Search engines and site visitors thrive on interesting and compelling content.Therefore, build your website with loads of awesome content to ensure site popularity which will lead to floods of traffic.

     

    With good original content, your site will establish a certain amount of online credibility with your site visitors as well as search engines and other established websites that may link to yours.

    Backlinks = higher authority and better search engine rankings with Google.

  3. Generate Traffic

    Your site may look great but don’t forget this;No Traffic = No Revenue

     

    So you need to generate targeted traffic to your site – unqualified traffic will not help as the site visitors are unlikely to be interested in your website’s topic and therefore won’t be interested in clicking the Google-related ads.

    Here are some traffic-generating tips for your Adsense website.

    Write & distribute articles through ezine article submission sites to get links back to your site via your resource box.

    Participate in forums & get links back to your site via your forum signature.

    Make sure your blog or website is optimized for mobile (responsive) and that its page load speed is less than 5 seconds

    Develop an opt-in email list & send out regular ezines to your subscribers with links back to the appropriate web page.

    Submit your site to as many online directories as you can.

    Get involved with social networking (FaceBook, Twitter, LinkedIn) to increase your site’s profile & traffic.

    Incidentally using a Google Adwords campaign to drive traffic to your Adsense site is not the wisest strategy.

    Not only could it cost you money but could be viewed as arbitrage which Google views in a serious light & would probably cancel your account.

    So don’t forget that the more search traffic you receive the more money you make.

    You will not make a decent income until you start drawing thousands of daily visitors to your website.

    It is, quite simply, a numbers game.

  4. Adsense Optimization

    While attracting visitors to your website is a vital part of the earning process, getting them to click on your ads is just as important.Therefore your site’s Adsense ads need to be correctly optimized to encourage this.

     

    To this end, the Google Adsense program gives its publishers the option of various sizes & colors of advertisements.

    So you can optimize your ads to blend in with your website’s theme in terms of colors & size.

    Be sure to keep abreast with Google’s Adsense policies as one of Google’s latest policies state that Adsense publishers should not ‘format site content so that it is difficult to distinguish it from ads’, which puts the blending issue into question.

    Never click on your own Ads to earn sneaky clicks – Google will see you and terminate your account in a flash

    So if you are unsure of anything just visit Google AdSense Terms & Conditions

    For     instance, ads placed above the fold (viewable on the screen without having to scroll down) are more likely to get clicked on than those below the fold.

    Therefore, the positioning of the ads also has a marked effect on the CTR (Click through rate).

  5. Test & Tweak

    You need to experiment with the positioning & size of your ads.The Adsense program provides site diagnostics, reports & various other tools to help you ensure that you are getting the most out of your Adsense account.

     

    Adsense also gives the option of performing A/B tests to see what works and what doesn’t work.

How To Make a R1,000 a Day From Adsense

Once you’ve got your blog Adsense ready, implement the following tips and you shouldn’t have a problem generating at least R1,000 a day.

1. Start a YouTube Channel

By posting videos to your YouTube channel in the same niche as your blog, you could flood your site with visitors from the link in your video description.

Furthermore, you can link your YouTube account to your Adsense account to earn even more once you have more than 1,000 YouTube subscribers and more than 4,000 valid public watch hours in the last 12 months.

The same goes for Instagram and other social media.

2. Auto Ads

Use Google’s auto ads feature and the optimisation dilemma is solved for you as Google will automatically place the ads on your site where it thinks they’ll perform the best.

If you have a WordPress blog it’s really easy to achieve this with a plugin.

I use Ad Inserter which is easy to set up and free to use

3. Post content regularly

This could be daily or just 3 times a month.

Just ensure that its content that’s keyword optimised to attract the right website traffic.

4. See what works for other blogs in your niche

Find out what keywords your competition is ranking for and outrank them by posting longer and better content.

Use Google’s keyword tool to find popular keywords in your niche, plug them into the Google search engine and see what sites rank at the top.

Look at their posts and see if you can improve on them.

5. Set up multiple blogs for free

This is an obvious one.

The more Adsense optimised blogs you have online, the more money you will make from Adsense.

You could also have them in different niches which would spread your earnings net wider.

For instance, they could be spread across the health, wealth, and fashion niches which are all popular.

And the best thing is that you can create each blog for free and publish them with money-making Adsense ads.

How Much Money Can You Make With Adsense?

Now that you know how to and believe that you can make at least R1,000 a day with Adsense, how much can you make from this ingenious program?

As mentioned above, generating a sustainable monthly income from Adsense remains one of the easiest and most reliable ways of earning decent money online.

However, many Adsense publishers are making more than $10,000 a month, and some are making more than $100,000 a month as per the list of a few of the top Adsense earners below (figures vary from month to month);

  • $1,500,000 per month – Mashable
  • $1,000,000 per month – WikiHow
  • $300,000 per month – Markus Friend who owns Plentyoffish.com
  • $250,000 per month – Kevin Rose of Digg
  • $150,000 per month – Jeremy Schoemaker a well known & successful internet marketer

So while I’m sure you know you can’t expect to earn these types of figures in the short term, but I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be satisfied by earning just a few measly dollars every day.

However, realistically you would probably want to earn more than a R1,000 a day in the short term & grow this to a reliable R20,000 a month income.
