Who Else Wants To Make Money With Adsense

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

By: John Savage

Fact number 1: Kids in high school are making thousands of dollars every month with Adsense.

Fact number 2: Housewives, retirees, mom and dads, who are just staying at home and have never made a dime on the internet have created full-time incomes by simply placing these ads on their web site or BLOG.

These are just some of the “super Adsense earners”. You may have already heard about their story for they are among the few who are on their way to making millions worth of cash just by promoting these sites.

Anyone, any age and gender can become money generating publishers as long as they have what it takes. How does one go about this Internet advertising?

Writing articles is the way to do it.

Using the right keywords in your articles and having Google ads on a certain site has become the most profitable way of marketing that anybody can get into. No experience and level of education needed. If you are not using this strategy, or may not be aware of it in the first place, chances are you may be losing thousands of dollars worth of extra income and still do not know it yet.

This is one of the many reasons why writing original quality content articles is now the latest in marketing buzz.

Content and links, when combined together becomes a really powerful tool to a successful web site and richer individuals. Many internet marketing professionals are already aware of the value of original quality content and how using keywords can drive targeted traffic into their sites from the search engines.

So why don’t all these web site owners write and submit their own articles if that is what is important?

The simple and understandable answer is that it takes time to write, submit, and get targeted traffic to their websites. That is why they get the services of those who can spare some time to write the articles that would cater to their site purpose but still turn out as a good quality and unique piece of work.

To get into the Adsense marketing business and start earning some good cash, ask yourself. Did you enjoy writing when you were in school? If you answer yes to this question, you already have an initial advantage over most internet marketing business owners that want to make money online and at home.

With the boom in the Adsense market comes the need for sites to want fresh, quality and original keyword rich content. This way, web site owners can have a steady supply of articles with the proper keywords that they relate to their site content. The result of this is seen in the sites page rank when indexed by the search engines. Which, in turn, gets more ads to show above, below or next to the article on their website with targeted traffic.

What do people have to do?

Write quality and original content, keyword or phrase rich articles with links to your website in the resource box. Then build a website or web page with targeted keyword or phrase rich original content for the targeted traffic that originates from the articles you wrote.

Finally, you will need to have Google Adsense ads that are targeted to your keyword or phrase rich original content site where visitors will get to visit when they come looking for information.

A win-win situation if you think more about it. A favor for persons looking for quality content and information, for the persons writing the original content articles, and the person with the quality original content rich website.

Of course, the search engines and its advertisers are getting targeted traffic and sales but so what? As long as you are getting something in your favor, it does not really matter what the others are getting for themselves.

So who else wants to start earning money with Adsense? You. Everyone. Anybody. Internet marketing has many opportunities wide open for these people. Writing articles and using Google ads for your kind of internet marketing strategy is one sure way of getting a piece of that action and cash.

Better not be left behind the many making millions already.

Blogging: Let’s Get You Started!

So what is BLOGGING really all about? First off, let me tell you that it’s a lucrative business to BLOG and that blogs are easy to set up and manage. Imagine getting paid to write about subjects that interest you, whenever you want, wherever you are! The flexibility involved allows you to maintain your BLOG at your own pace, and with Internet cafés easily accessible all over the globe, even your vacation won’t get in the way of your BLOGGING… Or should I say: even your BLOGGING won’t get in the way of your vacation?

In this article, let’s take a look at the profitability of a BLOG and set up one of our own, free of charge! Interested? Read on!

First, you need to get yourself a BLOG. There are several options – host a BLOG on your own domain or get a free one. For starters, let’s talk about the free blogs. You can obtain one at http://www.blogger.com or the newer (and better!) http://www.wordpress.com. WordPress is a free BLOG engine that is robust and infinitely expandable.

Blogger is actually owned by Google, so it will be detected by Google’s radar faster and you will be indexed more quickly. WordPress.com, however, is a relatively new option so I have no comparison on the speed of getting indexed by search engines. However, WordPress is better in the sense that it has more advanced features such as Trackbacks and Categories. You can also manage your sidebar links more efficiently (more about this later).

Get a free BLOG at either Blogger or WordPress. Then, familiarize yourself by publishing your first post on your BLOG and tinkering around with the options and TEMPLATES.

Here are some words to start expanding your BLOGGING vocabulary:

Permalink – Permalink stands for permanent link, which is a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that leads to an individual post that you make in your BLOG.

Trackback – When you post about someone else’s BLOG post elsewhere, your post will show up in their “trackback” section. This feature, however, is not available with a Blogger account.

Pinging – BLOGGING seems to be paired with pinging almost every time either one is mentioned nowadays. Pinging is actually the action where a certain aggregator is notified whenever your BLOG is updated, so that the aggregator may show the newest post of your BLOG on their website. This is a useful way to gain traffic, which I’ll discuss in a future article.

Content

Next, let’s look at the type of content that’s suitable for your BLOG in order to make it profitable. You need to understand that there is no fixed scope that your BLOG should have, which means you can write about whatever you’re interested in. Mind you, the difference between a profitable BLOG and a non-profitable one is the way you write. What would you prefer: reading your university professor’s lecture notes or the latest novel by your favorite author? People prefer to read “light” items most of the time. When they check out your BLOG, they are not only looking for information, but they are also looking for information that they can access easily.

So, to attract more visitors as well as to keep your current readers coming back for more, it’s very important to add a personal touch to your BLOG posts. This can be done by simply imagining that you’re talking with your personal friend. An extra bonus for your readers would be a great sense of humor, so try to add funny comments in your articles where relevant.

Another important point is to avoid addressing your reader as a plural unit. Don’t write as if you’re preparing a speech. Instead, write as if you’re having a conversation with a single person, an equal friend, because this will make your reader relate to you more easily.

Besides that, it’s also very useful to establish your own personality through your words. We’re very curious creatures, so naturally your visitors would want to know as much about you as the information you’re offering them.

Having a distinctive personality in your BLOG will make a world of difference between your BLOG about gadgets and all the other blogs about gadgets out there. This is a lot like creating your own brand name, where people immediately remember your BLOG’s name when they need information about gadgets, just like how people immediately think of McDonald’s for fastfood or Nike for sportswear.

There will be more on the subject of content the next time.

When word gets around about your command of BLOGGING, others who need to know about BLOGGING will start to actively seek you out!
