The Basics of Making Money With AdSense

By Jack Johns John McDanielson

No website is too big or too small to make money with advertisement programs. Though most big advertisement businesses require high amounts of traffic in order to be considered for their service, Google launched an advertising program that lets any legitimate webmaster or blogger make money online, regardless of the amount of traffic their pages generate.

Google's advertising program is one of the best in the world, and is open to anyone who owns and/or runs a legitimate website that provides valuable content. You make a small amount of money every time someone clicks the advertisement -- this doesn't include your clicks, of course, because you aren't allowed to click the ads yourself.

The display for the ad shows advertisements based on the topic of the page or post that the ad is on. Some topics pay more. For example, you'll make more writing about "credit cards" than you would writing about "door knobs."

To sign up for AdSense, one of the most popular advertising programs on the Internet, just check out their website.

Unfortunately, tens of thousands of individuals sign up for AdSense every year thinking they will be able to start their own home business with AdSense. Nearly all of these webmasters fail.

You should have other ways to make money online with your website or blog. AdSense works well with other programs, and usually shouldn't be your primary means of monetization.

Typical conversion rates for AdSense are less than $3 per thousand impressions, meaning a website will need to make at least 33,000 impressions per day before generating $100 per day. Very, very few websites do this.

Of course, affiliate marketing is more more lucrative when it comes to pulling an income from your traffic, with some affiliate sales making literally thousands of times more than average AdSense earnings for that niche.
