Adsense

Here is another cool way of making great cash in Dollars, please enjoy.
WHAT IS ADSENSE?>
In the mid 1990’s websites used to earn income by receiving money from advertisers by publishing or allowing companies to deploy a banner ad campaign on your website. Usually these banners would be brilliantly designed to catch the eye of the consumer along with a short message. The website in turn would receive a tiny profit from a click-through, which was when a customer actually clicked on the banner and went into the website and purchased the product. This was considered traffic-driven income. It was the industry standard until Google came along.
Google has since revolutionized the click-through market by using an innovative approach to advertising, Google AdSense. The beauty behind getting involved with Google now more than any other search engine is due to Google’s straightforward approach to a banner/content-free home page. You would sign up your website for affiliation with Google and upon approval your site would be given special code to place the targeted ads on your website. Basically saving Google the space and inconvenience of having to deal with banner ads.
You still may be wondering what Google AdSense actually does. AdSense is a program in which you get paid for targeting your readers to another websites product or service.
A click through is measured when someone actually clicks on the hyperlink. Many web sites now have Google AdSense ads employed. Google AdSense uses Google AdWords content and services in a display box that you place strategically on your website. Google AdWords customers pay Google a determined amount of money which will be paid to the website from Google. Since the popularity of Google has risen to such prominence, AdSense affiliates can make a nice amount of money should they be able to deploy the Google AdSense box properly on their website.
Other sites like Earthlink and Ask.com also employ the same technologies through click through methodologies. The more people that visit popular sites and see your name or hyperlink associated with a product the better chance your site will be seen. Remember, you will be paid a small amount per click for some websites and much more for others. What determines the amount is how much the AdWords advertiser places on each click.
Advertisers can pay as little as .50 per click in upwards of $5 (even more). Often campaigns are budgeted for a period of time. The amount budgeted will be rationed over a period of days, the less days involved or the higher price per click the higher the ranking. The more traffic you receive will increase the possibility of a sale and a click through fee in your account.
In short, Google’s idea to market itself from the inside out has changed the way websites are doing business. Starting as an AdSense affiliate is a practical approach to making money using one of the hottest tools on the Internet today.

BASIC TIPS FOR ADSENSE>
There are many great AdSense Basic Tips to help you get along using Google AdSense but I think trial and error is really how you reach full earning potential. AdSense does not gain huge results overnight and any little changes implemented may not show for days or even weeks. Tracking what you do and when is very important. I've kept notes on all my AdSense Pay Projects and I try different things with all of them. This way if one gains more traffic or income over the others I can look back and find out what I did different. Play around and you too will find a method that works for you.

HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO GET YOU STARTED.
- The Ad Position. It's very true the AdSense Pay Ads will generate more depending on the positioning. This is something you have to try because I find it is not the same position all the time. Ad position may vary from site to site. Most of the time I find the Ads to the left side close to my content work very well. Also putting Adsense Pay Ads at the end of the content works well because people need a place to go after they are done reading. Again, this has worked for me but results may be different for you.

- Quantity of Ads placed on a Website or Blog. Usually the more Ads on a site will generate less income but not always. Google will normally display the best ads first so you get the top Google Ads first. If you have lots of content on a page then you can experiment with more Ad placements. You really need to experiment for yourself. One thing Visitors do not like is sites and blogs flooded with Advertisements because they feel like they were lured by you for one purpose only.

- Ad Styles. I've always had good luck trying to blend my Ad Templates as close to the content pages as possible. You do want your Google Ads to stand out a bit but placing a huge "you can't miss this" eyesore on the page will not work. I'm still debating on Banners. There are a lot of articles that will say not to use them but I have proof on some of my blogs that they have worked. As I stated before I like to have my Google Ads on the left side of my page, it's just worked for me. My pages are not plastered with Ads, I usually have about 3.
Text Ads with Images seem to be attracting a lot of good attention for me in general but this does vary on different projects.The link units have not helped me to much to be honest but others will disagree. Testing is the key.

- What Works? Here is the beauty Google Analytics. This is like a God Send to us. The Analytics tool breaks everything up in to little pieces to help you understand where your traffic is coming from, how long they were on your site and heck it every tells you where they live. You can also set up various campaigns in Google Analytics. This part of the Analytics Program is still new to me so I will not go any further until I know more about this feature. It is very nice to know where your traffic is generated.
Have fun with your experiments and don't let poor results get you down! Try and try again until you get that right combination and you will. People who have been working with AdSense will tell you the same thing. There is no one step magic formula that will make you rich. Research, Testing, Trial and Error will set you on that path.
