For those of you who dont know Google’s AdSense is perhaps the fastest and easiest way to generate revenue from a website that contains great content. The sites that have Adsense on you will see “Ads by Google” followed by one to five text-based ads or sometimes banners. The ads themselves are called “Google AdWords,” and the program that lets publishers display them on their site is called “Google AdSense.”
Here is what Google say Adsense is in its frequently asked questions section:
” Google AdSense is a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to display relevant, un-obtrusive Google ads on their website’s content pages and earn money. Because the ads are related to what your users are looking for on your site, you’ll finally have a way to both monetize and enhance your content pages.
“The program is free, and combines pay-per-click and pay-per-impression advertising – meaning you get paid for valid clicks on the ads on your site or search results pages as well as impressions on your content pages. So go ahead and try this program.”
History
Google AdSense is an outrgrowth of the Google Content-Targeted Advertising program that was launched in early March 2003.
This early program let large websites integrate Google AdWords into their websites. Each site had to apply to be abel to participate. Any sites with less than 20 million page views couldn’t participate.
The Google AdSense program lets much smaller websites play. Even if your site only gets a few hundred page views per month, you can now apply to the AdSense program.
Project
With the above in mind i have set up a Adsense account and have been dabbling with trying to gain a small revenue from the adverts. I have set up two sites with the adverts on:
Playstation 3 Guide and Acne Care Treatment
The first one I set up a couple of months ago and I have been getting quite a few visitors to the site. I can’t go nto detail how i amk doing with the Adsence as it wold be against the terms and conditions set by Google.
I can say that although my site is only a small site with a blog on I have had some revenue from it.
The new one i have set up to do with Acne was from a person who has been builing niche web sites just for this purpose. I have bought one of these sites to see if the revenue can be improved. As yet the Search engines have only just spidered the site so I am waiting to see what happens.
Wish me luck! 🙂
