Four Ways to Make Money With Google AdSense

Google AdSense is a proven way to make money. One of the advantages is that Google is a legitimate company known worldwide and everyone knows AdSense is not a scam, the key is to set up a solid foundation to get started. I will write about four key aspects that have helped me establish a passive stream of income. I will be honest to say I am not making lots of cash but I know with time and consistency I will get to my goal, not easy but very doable.

First key point is where to place the Google AdSense ads? A website, a blog? Creating a blog is the easiest way to have a presence on the Internet. It literally takes less than one hour to set up a blog depending on the platform used. The two blogging platforms that I like to use are Blogger.com or Wordpress. Blogger.com is the easiest one because it is simple to set up but the issue with this platform would be that there are not many options to make it unique or personalize it so I would say it is best suited for beginners and I must add that it has modules ready for Google AdSense ready to be placed. Wordpress is the one that I mostly use because It gives you more options to make it very unique and you may change many aspects of how the Blog looks depending on the niche. The issue with Wordpress would be that for a beginner it might be complicated to figure out how to use all the different options and it might be frustrating but if you research and take the time to learn all the different functions it would definitely be worth trying Wordpress, and again Google AdSense can be placed on Wordpress blogs but it might take some time to figure out how to do it.

Second key point is ads visibility. Some people think that by making the ads stand out it would equal more clicks and I truly believe that is the biggest mistakes, because readers will know right from the start that the intended purpose is to sell which may drive most readers away from the site. Blend the ads with the background of your site, make sure the ads have the same color as the background, same font, same letter size to make it look like these ads are part of the site themselves, so readers will naturally click on them for more information.

Third key point is to have less ads and more content. This is another mistake I have seen where in some cases where there are more ads covering a page than there is content. A reader will be disappointed to see that the site is more about selling than it is about informing which is what most Internet readers are looking for, information for a specific topic.

Less ads is better because if done correctly the ads will be just another option for readers to look for more information.

Fourth key point that have worked for me is to always place ads on top of the content. I usually place a banner on top of the page or I may place a link unit and I have to say this has worked for me with good conversions.

The above are just some ways that have helped me when using Google AdSense, just more options for your toolbox to use.

AdSense and Blogging is a perfect combination for extra income, find out how you can achieve this Extra Income with AdSense and Blogging.
