If you want to make money online through monetizing with Google AdSense, first you have to create a website or blog. You will have to own a Google or Gmail account. Then sign up with AdSense in order to be provided with their code for you to start earning that money.

How Does Google AdSense Work?

·         Google AdSense Ad Words Pay per view

Google.com allows interested websites or blog owners to participate on the Google AdSense program by allowing Google to display ads on their sites. This is how bloggers and website owners will earn most of their revenue. This is called Ad Words- Pay per click marketing. These ads are usually displayed on the right side of your blog or site and next to the free results of Google.com. Google AdSense is an Ad network. Google will read the article that a blogger or website owner wrote and finds suitable and relevant ads to it and display them next to that particular article. The advertisers are paying Google an amount of money for these ads per click. The revenue that Google earns from these ads will be used to pay you as the blogger. If you place the ads on your site and then someone clicks on them, Google will pay you the revenue they earn from ads which supposedly is about 68%. Google gets the rest of the percentage.

·          Google AdSense for Search

Google AdSense will put a search box on your blog or website and as a visitor puts a term or word on that search box and a results page opens there will be pay per view clicks done. The more pages opened, the more pay per clicks will be done and chances of payment for the blogger or web master.

·         Google Referrals

Refer your visitors to use any Google product such as Google AdSense, Ad Words etc and get paid. Just like Google AdSense for Content and AdSense for Search, Google will provide you with the code that you will have to paste into the particular location on your web or blog page. For an example, if someone goes to your site and then makes a click on the link and then signs up for an AdSense account, when that person earns a $300 from Google AdSense and receives a payment from Google, you will also receive $300 for referring them.

 How Much Can You Earn Through Google AdSense?

Payment depends on per click and on how much the advertisers are paying Google for their ads. That is where your share comes from. It could be between 0.02 to $15 per click or even more. Nobody could really tell except Google. All the ads cost differently. The magic here is to find high paying niche like-“Making money” as they are highly searched for daily. Google will pay you when your amount reaches $100. If it helps, Google allows you to log on to your account and see your total per day, month and year. Just make sure you bring traffic to your site so you can get paid. Make sure you place your ads strategically and bring to your site the right audience. Traffic is the main and major thing and for you to have a heavy traffic, you need a lot of quality content and to promote your site.

How to Increase Google AdSense Earnings

1.    Avoid free hosts

 I know it is always tempting for people to use free web hosts but they seem unprofessional. If you really want to get paid you should learn to spend a bit. It will pay off at the end. At least start saving for a few months, then use a paid web host. It will eventually pay off itself as you start earning from Google AdSense and other websites. Free hosting sites have the right to take off air your site without even giving you a warning. But if you own self hosted site or blog no one will do that to you.

2.     Content is always king

Like they say- Content is King. It’s true. Google AdSense will not accept you without content. If you don’t have content, readers will not come back to your site or blog to click on your ads.  Make sure you give out all that you know. Don’t leave anything out. Teach your visitors so that they have a reason for coming back to your blog or website thus you will have high earning potential.

3.      High Paying Niche

Some people will tell you to make sure you research first about the most popular niches because some niches pay more than others. I say stick to a topic niche of what you love and know best because you will never get bored, or get stuck on what to tell your readers. I know it makes a lot of sense because you can earn better. For example, the ads on a site that is about “making money” will pay more than a site for “softball games”.

4.    Traffic

Make sure you promote and market your site so as to bring traffic. The more content the heavier the traffic and the higher the earning potential from clicks from your audience. Make sure that you give your audience something they can’t find anywhere else. Create useful, high quality, free and original content. Always get back links and comment on other blogs and leave your link on their threads. Learn how to use social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest, Instangram, Google+ etc., to promote and market your blog and follow others so that you have followers as well. Use e-zines, big websites such as Google, Bing,MSN and Yahoo, start discussions, use word of mouth and offer free stuff such as eBooks. Click here to learn how to build and bring traffic to your website. I explained everything on how to bring traffic to your website in details. Make sure it’s your own content not copied and pasted from other websites.

5.    Promoting your Website

For you to make money, your blog or website must have TRAFFIC. Traffic plays a major role in making money with AdSense. The heavier traffic in your blog or site, the more clicks you will get, and the money you will earn. I promote my sites through social media-Face Book, Twitter, YouTube, Google+ etc. Also create discussion forums and give away freebies such as eBooks, newsletters and software. Use fliers, forums, free downloads and word of mouth.
