With AdSense, you earn money by displaying small Google text ads on your website. Whenever one of your visitors clicks on one, you earn a small amount.
Note that you might not make tons of money with Google AdSense. However, once you're up and running, you can enjoy a steady extra stream of profits without doing any extra work.
If you have a content-rich web site with lots of pages containing information on specific topics, you will surely make it with adSense. After sign up, Ads relating to your web page content will be displayed, so visitors searching for information that you offer should be interested in the products or services these ads offers.
The traffic you pull to your website and with the related ads by Google will greatly increases the chances that people will click on the ads and make you some extra cash.
Some topics attract more money than some. Examples of this are items like holidays or electronic goods. These items attract higher bids from advertisers for the relevant keywords that generate the ads. As an AdSense publisher, you receive a percentage of the bid amount so the higher the better for you.
Many website/blogs successfully make money with Google AdSense to cover their hosting fees and other overhead costs. If you run a content-rich non-commercial blog, then you have a chance to succeed with adSense. The search engines love the fresh, relevant content that blogs produce. It will give chances for many people to find your site which will bring about clicks on the ads.
Finding paying advertisers can be difficult, time-consuming, and ultimately not very lucrative, unless you have a site with very high volumes of suitable traffic. But if you want to test third-party advertising on your web site, AdSense takes away the need to try to find suitable advertisers which will allow you to work on other areas of your web business.
AdSense affiliate programs can be very dangerous if you sell a product with a lot of competitors. Although AdSense allows you to block up to 200 of your competitors' URLs but you still run the risk of their ads showing up on your site. You will agree with me that advertising competing sites on your own site is not the best business strategy and it's crucial that you evaluate the risk of you are running. It might drive away your loyal costumers.
