If you’re looking at Google’s AdSense program you’re surely asking yourself how much you could make from such a program, and you probably think you can’t make as much as you can from traditional advertising schemes.
Google, of course, keeps a great deal of secrecy regarding how much AdWords advertisers pay per each click directed to their site and the same applies for how much AdSense banner holders make from their websites.
While there’s nothing official, rumors circulate around the Internet concerning the amount of cash a website can earn by using AdSense. And many people (illegally) disclose how much they have been making with AdSense. There are stories of people raising over one thousand dollars per month using AdSense.
There are also stories of people exceeding $100,000.00 per month but it’s a bit hard to believe such stories. The truth to the matter is that if you have a small website and you just want it to support itself, and don’t wish to reach your pocket for its maintenance costs you can probably do this with AdSense.
AdSense is also very good for people who host a lot of pages. Even if the said pages don’t generate a lot of traffic individually, every click counts and you can earn up with a lot of money by doing this. And that just goes to prove that sometimes quantity matters nearly as much as quality.
There’s no telling how much money you’re going to make by using Google’s AdSense but you can sort of tell for yourself, before actually starting, by taking a few things into consideration.
First, is the amount of visits you get every day. While there’s no way to estimate precisely on this, you can generally make a safe assumption that if you have a lot of clicks per day you’ll be making good money.
Also, this depends on what exactly your site is about. If your site is about anything popular (music, sex, whatever) you’re bound to get a lot of banner clicks. These have a coefficient associated with them, called the CTR (click through ratio).
Basically, what it translates to is that if a large proportion of your site’s visitors click the ads you’ll be making more money. And the best way to do this is to have some popular content in your site, ensuring the links direct users towards popular items as well.
Then of course, there’s the position and number of ads on your website. While you don’t want to overdo it, having many links will undoubtedly generate more income for you as a webmaster. Do not however believe, that if you just add a lot of ads in an important portion of your site, visitors could always just skip them (and be assured that many do just that).
There’s something between an art and a science to positioning your ads. People generally look in certain places and never look in others, and knowing this a website author and/or webmaster can do a great deal of things to increase his earnings with AdSense.
All in all, the amount of money you make with AdSense depends on many factors. But if you have a site with interesting contents and/or many pages, and if you see a constantly large amount of traffic every day, you can bet you’ll be making a lot of money with AdSense.
Even if you aren’t in the above categories, AdSense is still worth using because there’s very little hassle in setting it up, and many times it can help financially support the site, whilst being a nice bonus to get through the post at the end of the month.

Using Advanced Strategies For Higher Adsense Payouts
As most of you know, Adsense was once the hottest thing on the Internet. Everyone was jumping on board thinking they were about to get rich. Then, after a few weeks, the majority of site owners couldn’t figure out why they had made only pennies. Soon after, the grumbling and mumbling started about how you couldn’t make money with Adsense.
The facts are, there are quite a few of us who are bringing home damn good paydays with Adsense. Making money with Adsense requires a little more than just throwing up a blog, scraping content and adding your Adsense code. In a Nutshell, Adsense is still one of the easy ways to make money online. Here’s some Pro strategies that will help increase your payday from Adsense.
To begin with, take a long hard look at the site where you have Adsense. Is your site targeted to one niche? I find it really humurous sometimes when so called Internet Marketer say you can’t make any money with Adsense. The lack of a focused website is one of the biggest reasons Webmasters don’t make bank with Google Adsense.
For Adsense to show your visitors the highest paying ads, your site has to be very targeted to a keyword. For example, if you have articles on your site discussing everything from how green the grass is today to how sloppy your kids teacher dressed, Adsense isn’t going to give you the high paying keywords.
Okay, pay close attention here. Let’s say your website is about Chicken Wings. You have no articles on your site other than those about Chicken Wings. You have articles about Hot Wings, Barbecue Chicken Wings, Wing Sauce Recipes, How to cook Chicken Wings, etc. Now if you’ve done your on-page SEO properly, the Adsense bot will know that you site is all about Chicken Wings. If an advertiser is paying $2.00 per click to advertise their Chicken Wing product, your site will get that high paying ad. And what’s more, your visitors will likely click on that high paying ad because they are on your site looking for stuff pertaining to Chicken Wings when they see an add for something to do with Chicken Wings, which in turns gives you an excellent paying click.
Then you have the people who spend all their time sending Social Traffic to their site. It’s no secret to most of us that Social Traffic doesn’t convert. Traffic from Social Sites are just browsing the Internet while they should be working. They don’t click ads!
Google traffic is what drives clicks to Adsense. If your website is niche focused and you have your site SEO optimized for keywords, then when organic traffic from Google arrives, they’ll be clicking ads. They’re searching for information and they found it on your site. Your site has a bunch of Adsense ads about what they’re looking for. They are there to find information and they will click your ads!
Another trick is to have some vague or long drawn out post. Internet users are skip readers. Give them a long post or one that doesn’t answer their questions right away and they get bored and start looking around. Don’t solve their problem with your article. Let the Adwords advertiser do that!
The important thing is to focus on one niche per site. Get it focused and on target. Don’t try to cover many niches with your website because you’ll end up with those five cent clicks!

Monitize Your Website With Adsense
Indeed, just about all webmasters know that Adsense generates a considerable source of additional advertising income. That is why most of them utilize it to go after high paying keywords. They possess with them the lists that tells what the keywords are and have already used every means possible to identify them. But then, after positioning these supposed to be high paying keywords into their web pages, the money they expected to roll in is not really coming in. What are they doing wrong? In fact, having these pages with the proper keywords is one thing, but driving visitors to those pages is another thing and often the main thing that is lacking.
The thing is, to get visitors to your high paying keyword pages, you need to optimize your sites navigation. Think about how visitors are using your website. After a visitor has landed on a certain page, they have the tendency to click on another page that sounds interesting. They get there because of the other links that show up on a page that they initially landed on. This is site navigation. Basically, it is all about enabling visitors to move about your site and this is just one way of maximizing your Adsense earnings. A typical website have menu links on each page. The wording on these links is what gets a visitors attention and gets them to click on one of the links that will take them to another page of that website. Links that have free or download have proven to be good attention grabbers.
For sure, this navigation idea can also be applied to driving traffic to your high paying pages. There are many websites that are getting a lot of traffic from search engines but have low earnings in terms of profits. The basic trick is to try and use some cleverly labeled links to get the visitors off that pages and navigate them to the higher earning ones. This is indeed, one big way of turning real cheap clicks to real dollars. But, before you begin testing if this same idea will work for you and your website, you will need to have two things. Something, probably a software to track and compare, and some high earning pages you want to channel your site traffic to. An option is to select a few of your frequently visited pages. This is ensuring fast result to come by.
However, the next thing to do is think of ways to get visitors viewing a particular page to try and click on the link that will take them to your high earning pages. Make sure to come up with a catchy and unique description for the link. Think of something that people do not get to see everyday. That will surely trigger their curiosity enough to try and see what that was all about. Also, you can use graphics to grab your readers attention. There is no limitation to what you can do so that your link can be seen. If you are after the success of your site, you will do everything necessary just to achieve that goal.
In case you do not know, as far as many Adsense advertisers are concerned, there are no written and unwritten laws to follow regarding what they write. Just as long as you do not overstep the guidelines of the search engines. Nevertheless, remember that it is all about location. Once the perfect attention grabbing description has been achieved, you have to identify the perfect spot on your page to position that descriptive link to your high paying pages. There is nothing wrong with visiting other websites to see how they are going about maximizing their site navigation. Hot pages or most read lists are very common and overly used already. Make sure you know the ones that many websites are using and do not try to imitate them.
Finally, another way of doing it is to try and use different texts on different pages. That way you will see the ones that work and what does not. Try to mix things around also. Put up links on top and sometimes on the bottom too. This is surely how you go about testing which ones get more clicks and which ones are being ignored. Let the testing begin. Keep testing and tracking until you find the site navigation style that works best for you site.
