How to make money online with Google Adsense? Adsense program is an ad serving application run by Google Inc. Website owners and bloggers, which are called publishers, can enroll in this program to enable text, image, and video advertisement on their web pages. Publishers earned revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. Adsense ads are administered by Google. The group is the one who finds advertisers and manages the payment of your earnings in your name through check payment or Western Union Transfer. This means that once you join the program and get approved, you job is only to put the ad codes provided by Google in your web pages, in accordance to their TOS (Term of Service). Placing ad codes in your website is easy as 1-2-3, but maximizing your income is another difficult story.
How to really make money online with Adsense?
Of course you first need to have your own website or blog in order to join the program. Your income success depends on the number of quality traffic your site will generate. In other words, if you want to earn dollars from Adsense, you need to know how to attract visitors to your site. This also means that the real question we should answer here is… how to increase quality traffic on your website or blog? Earning money from Google can be disappointing at the start. You will find yourself earning only cents on the first 3 or 6 months of your blogging or running of your website. And if you will not find the best way to attract more visitors to your site, the disappointing cents earning may even continue beyond a year, and may force you to quit in this kind of online venture.
If you will ask the online entrepreneurs who are now enjoying the sweet passive income from Adsense, they will tell you the stage in their lives when they have almost give up. This will tell us that we need to be patient and persistent to become successful like them. Just like an offline businessman, an online entrepreneur should also invest time, energy and even money. One should constantly think and do what he thinks will boost the traffic and audience of his website.
So how do we boost our website’s traffic?
Attracting visitors means making your site attractive. What makes a website or a blog attractive is its useful and unique contents. Hence, if you’re a blogger, you should consistently provide useful and unique blog posts to your audience. Quality should also be mixed with quantity. This means that the more you post quality contents, the more visitors and readers you will attract. You also need to do SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This is the process of optimizing the title, descriptions, tags and keywords of your blog posts to be properly indexed by search engines, like Google, Yahoo and Bing. Thus, the more posts we publish, the more pages we create. Likewise, the more pages we create, the more indexed pages we will have in Google and other search engines. Accordingly, the more indexed pages by Google we have, the more visitors Google will refer to us.
Those indexed pages should also be positioned higher in the search engines to assure that they can attract searchers. This can be done by increasing your back links through directory submissions, article directory submissions, blog commenting, forum signature posting, social media promotion and other schemes to increase your back links. You should also know how to create a catching, yet truthful title for your article, blog posts or pages. This is to make search engine and social media users attracted, interested and curious about your contents, leading them to visit your pages.

Can we really earn from Google Adsense?
Yes, if you will be patient, consistently hardworking and willing to experiment. This blog is just in its third month since going live online, but it’s already receiving more than a thousand page views per day. This traffic has given me additional $115 income for this month of May. It’s not yet big enough compare to other bloggers out there who are even enjoying thousands of dollars from Adsense every month. But for a three month old blog, I can already tell that yes! We can make money online with Google Adsense. We just need to be diligent in creating contents that will satisfy and make our audience happy. We also need to promote this to the crowd, such as in places like Google, Facebook, Twitter and other top social media sites. After attracting happy visitors, we also need to experiment on the placement of Google Ads on our web pages to maximize our earning potential. But don’t forget to read and follow carefully the TOS of Google to avoid being banned. Moreover, you must also keep your website looks professional and pleasing to the eyes of your readers by not putting excessive and intrusive ads.
I am hoping that by continuing to post unique and useful articles on this blog, I can increase further my visitors in the succeeding months, as well as my succeeding income. All I can say now is that, passive income, no matter how small or big it is… it’s so sweet.
