Google.com earns
most of its revenue by
allowing other
website owners to
advertise on their
search result pages.
All this is managed
through a program
they call AdWords.
Now you can earn a
share of the revenue
that Google earns
from AdWords by
placing these same
text ads on your
site. In other
words, you're
helping Google
advertise and they
pay you a percentage
of what they earn.
This program is called AdSense.
Every
website owner should
be involved in this.
It's just too good
of an opportunity to
pass up. Even if
your site is just
for information
purposes, you can
still participate
and make decent
money with AdSense
-- or at least
enough to fund your
website.
So if you are one of
those people that
don't like the idea
of paying for a
site, this is an
excellent way to
earn your money back
and then some.
Even if you earned
as little as $10 in
a month, it would
more than likely
cover some or all of
the costs for your
web site. Perhaps you are
simply looking for
ways to add
additional revenue
to your website,
then it's perfect
for that situation
too.
This program is
getting so popular,
people are creating
websites just to
display the ads and
profit from Google's
AdSense alone.
I don't usually like
to use the term
"easy money" because
there really is no
such thing. You
still have to create
your own website and
learn how to bring
in traffic in order
to make good money
with this program.
I
certainly don't want to make
it sound like you
get something for
doing absolutely
nothing.
There's no such
thing.
However, I've got to
say that AdSense is
probably the closest
you'll ever come to fast
money on the
Internet --
especially if you
already have a
website that gets a
good amount of
traffic.
What's even
better...the program
is completely free.
You can also use it
on multiple websites
and there is no
limit to the amount
you can earn.
If you go to
Google.com
and do a search for
almost any keyword
phrase, you'll
notice some
"Sponsored Links"
that appear on the
right side of the
screen that are
relevant to the
keywords you just
searched for.
Website owners pay
Google to display
these ads and are
charged a
predetermined amount
every time their ad
gets clicked by a
web surfer.
With the AdSense
program, you will
display these same
text ads on your
site just like
Google and get paid
for it as well.
All you do
is copy and paste
some provided HTML
code into your pages
and Voila!
the ads will show up. Every time an ad is
clicked on your
site, you will
receive a certain
percentage of what
Google receives from
the advertiser.
Once your account
reaches $100, you'll
receive a check in
the mail.
"Is Google
Crazy?"
I know what you're
probably thinking...
"What's the catch
here? Why would
Google just
give away
money advertisers
are paying them?"
The answer...
Because Google is
very smart.
Now that I
understand how
AdSense works, I can
see that it's a
win-win situation
for everyone
involved, and the
bottom line benefits
Google.
Let me explain...
Since the
advertiser's ads are
now being displayed
on more web sites
all over the
internet (instead of
just Google's site),
they are getting
much more exposure.
More exposure means
more clicks and even
more traffic for
their site over a
shorter period of
time.
This is good
news for Google
because the more
traffic the
advertisers receive,
the faster their
advertising funds are used up.
Remember, they get
charged every time
their site gets a
visit; and of
course, it is
Google's hope that
they'll continue to
keep funneling more
money into their
account for more ad
exposure.
What an ingenious
way for Google to
increase the amount
of money they earn
from advertisers
while building
loyalty with website
owners (like us) who
are now getting paid
to help them
advertise.
