Google Adsense and How to Make Money With It?

Google Adsense works on a cost-per-click and revenue sharing basis. It charges advertisers per ad click and publishers get roughly 68% of the click amount. Publishers’ commission heavily depends upon the competition in niche. In practice, the commission per click can range between $0.20 and $15. The majority of niches bring less than $1 per click to publishers.

So your main task will be to provide as many clicks to those ads as possible. But do not try to cheat Google and artificially increase the number of clicks. Do not encourage your website visitors to click ads and - of course - do not click your own ads yourself under any circumstances! Google has a very accurate and complicated system for preventing click fraud. Once it notices some suspicious activity on your website or has any doubts about the quality of your traffic and clicks – it will suspend your account.

The amount you earn doesn’t solely depend on the cost per click value in your niche. It also depends upon how ads match your audience interests, where the ads are located on the page, etc. So pay attention to the content of your website, its look-and-feel, and test different placements within a page to find most efficient option.

Your earnings also depend on the amount of targeted traffic to your website. Only a very small amount of your visitors will click those ads (1-2% in average). And most of the clicks will bring you less than $1 per click. Now, you can calculate yourself how much traffic you need to earn the amount you want. Therefore, if you want to make money with Adsense you should have big traffic volumes. This will require a lot of work and a lot of unique and quality content.

Before starting a project, you can check with Google AdWords Keyword Tool for the most promising niches in terms of traffic volume, competition and cost per click. But it is always reasonable to make a website on a topic you know a lot about. In this case, it will be much easier for you to generate a lot of quality content and this work can be pleasurable. Do not expect to make $1,000 per month with a 10-page website. It is recommended to create at least 20-30 pages of content before applying it in Adsense.

Briefly summarizing, you can make pretty good money with Google Adsense, but it is not a program where you can get rich quickly. You should love the topic you are writing about and know a lot about it. This will help you get a lot of traffic and monetize it as well with Adsense.
