Tips on Succeeding With AdsenseHere are some tips for achieving success with Adsense.
Here are some tips for achieving success with Adsense.1. Create a web site with your own domain name (YourSite.com). You can try with Geocities.com and other free hosts as well. Put a baisc website about any topic of your interest.
2. If you don’t know web programming or have no desire to learn it, get a beginner’s design editor like Microsoft FrontPage or Dreamweaver. Using this program is a lot like using Microsoft Word. You can also publish your content directly to the web.Keep in mind you can’t use FrontPage alone. You must have a web host that will allow you to publish your site to the Internet via FrontPage.

3. If the main goal of your site is to make money with Adsense, be sure to choose a topic that you know a lot about so you can write lots and lots of content. Don’t like to write? No problem! There are sites like www.articlecity.com that provide free reprint rights. Just search their database and find articles that match the theme of your site. Don’t rely completely on sites like this, however. You’ll definitely want to have some of your own unique content. A few articles from these sites is fine, but relying on them for 90% of your information is not going to help your site.
4. Get traffic. Once your site is up and running you’ll need to learn how to get your site listed in the major search engines. Getting into Google is completely free right now and can bring in hundreds or even thousands of visitors per day. All you have to do is submit your site to them and wait patiently while Google ads it to the index. It can take a few months. Patience is key with Google. Then do the same with Yahoo, MSN, etc.
5. Partner up with other related sites and participate in link swaps. This means that you place a link to another person’s site on your own site and they do the same for you in return. This is a great way to get even more free traffic.Most sites are either accepted or rejected within 24 to 48 hours, so you shouldn’t have to wait too long to find out if your application has been approved. Once you’ve been accepted, simply copy and paste the provided HTML code into any page that you’d like to show the ads. If you’ve done a good job of defining the content on your web pages, the ads that show should be relevant to the content of your page…increasing the chances of click-thrus by your visitors.You can either display the ads vertically along side the page like Google does or in a banner-like formation horizontally across your pages. The placement is up to you. You can even customize the colors to match your site’s theme.
WARNING: Don’t Be a Copycat!
I read an article about a lazy person that copied someone else’s content word for word and pasted on their own site. They tried to join Adsense and they were rejected for unauthentic content. I don’t know how Google found out their site was a duplicate of someone else’s but they did. So be careful.
Not to mention, the search engines are now ignoring pages with duplicate content. So all the thieves out there that are too lazy to come up with their own content are now finding that they cannot get their site ranked in Google, Yahoo and MSN simply because they’ve copied someone else’s work.
“How Much Can I Earn With Adsense?”
Google does not disclose exactly how much you’ll earn per ad that is clicked.The commission you receive per click depends on how much advertisers are paying Google for the particular ad. You will earn a share of that amount. I’ve heard of earnings anywhere from 2 cents to $15 per click.So it is logical to believe that keyword phrases like debt free, employment, make money, mp3, sex, etc. will earn you more per click since these are highly competitive keywords that are searched for quite a bit on the web.
Advertisers generally pay more for popular terms because they are searched for more.Even though Google will not reveal how much you are earning for each ad that is clicked from your site, you can still login to your account at any time and see the total amount of revenue you’ve generated that day, week, month, year, etc.Keep in mind, the ads may not be an exact match because it depends on the ads inside Google’s database.
So instead of seeing yoga ads, you may see more generic ads like exercise, healthy eating, etc. This is not a bad thing because these are topics your visitors will likely be interested in as well.
Possible Reasons for Site Rejection
1) Is your site an “About Me” page?
Adsense does not usually accept these kinds of personal sites because most of them do not have a specific topic or theme. They are usually just random facts about the website owner or their hobbies, pictures, etc. It would be difficult for Google’s technology to display targeted ads on these kinds of pages.They are looking for “theme” sites that contain a generous amount of information on a specific topic. It could be anything from sewing tips to sports. Just make sure there is an obvious themed-site with adequate information.
2) Is your site organized?
Be sure your site has a neat and clean navigation that’s easy to follow. Also ensure all the links work and that there are no typos. Keep the colors to a minimum and make sure each page has a consistent layout.
3) How many pages are on your site?
Even though Google doesn’t specify a page number requirement, many believe they are looking for web sites with a certain amount of content. Again, it’s not likely a two-page site will get accepted. Try to strive for at least 15 pages.
4) Is your content solid?
Don’t just submit a website with a bunch of links to other sites. Be sure you have a themed/niche site with enough original content of your own.
5) Is your site an exact carbon copy of someone else’s?
Some believe Google can find out if your site is original or not. Don’t risk it and steal from someone else. It will come back to haunt you.If you’re stuck, write a few articles of your own and then go to sites like www.articlecity.com and sprinkle a few of their articles around your site to beef it up.
6) Be sure to read their program policy and procedures carefully and make sure your site hasn’t violated any of the terms. Ready to Get Started?To start building your web site go to the domain registration page. Please read the entire page so you understand the steps for getting your web site online. Then once you have a domain name (YourSite.com), you can select a web host so you can start building pages.
