How to Make Money with Adsense

This post is in response to a number of emails I have received regarding Adsense. Specifically "How to Make Money with Adsense". I know most of you are familiar with the concept of adding Adsense to your blogs and are equally familiar with not making any money with it - or paltry sums at best.

This post is an overview of what I do and regular readers may want to skip this.

I have been absent for the past two weeks working on some other projects but I noticed my RSS readers have grown by another 100 or so which tells me that there are a lot of new faces on here and most of you are not familiar with me or what I do online. I am not an A Lister or a guru of any kind. I am a niche marketer who until now has been making money quietly on the net - this blog was developed as just "another" niche I wanted to dominate in order to make money with Adsense and Affiliate sales. Unlike my other niches this blog has developed a readership and this has curtailed a lot of my usual activities regarding affiliate sales but I have kept the Adsense.

I dominate niches by using SEO techniques that I have been refining for a long time. I am not familiar with other systems as everything I do has been learned by trial and error - I experiment constantly.

My methods can be reduced to one simple strategy - I pick a niche that gets lots of search engine traffic and has a lot of corresponding advertisers and then optimize my blog and posts for every term that is in any way related to the main topic and sometimes no relation what so ever. My goal is always the same - I want to rank on page 1 on Google for every single term I target. By doing this I receive thousands upon thousands of visitors to my sites everyday and a percentage of these visitors click my ads or buy products through my links. Making money online can be reduced to one simple equation - the more search traffic you receive the more money you make. You will not make decent income until you start drawing thousands of visitors daily - it is a simple numbers game.

I don't want to rehash topics I have covered before so please read my posts on Keywords and Search Engine Optimization if you are not familiar with the topics. To make money with Adsense you will have to grasp these concepts first.

In spite of what most of you think - you can make a good living with Adsense sites. I do and I can honestly say that it is the easiest method for making money online - but - it does require work and some patience before you start seeing any meaningful results. I realize that screenshots are meaningless as anything can be faked but I will show you my Adsense income from last month and remind you that I am not selling you anything here - I just want you to realize that this is a viable source of income if you want to buckle down and work for it. It has taken me the better part of two years to reach this stage so don't get ahead of yourselves - this takes time.

Make money online!

While searching on Internet for Making Money Online, I came across with website mGinger. Although this site really offers a way to Earn Money, in reality you can earn easy money but not fast money. I will explain you exactly how this site works.

To make money online using this site, you need to sign up on this website. They are paying their members for receiving advertisements messages on their mobile phones. So need not to worry about doing anything other than just signing up on this website at mGinger and completing your profile.
Once you have verified your identity by replying to the SMS, your account will be activated. Then you will start receiving messages from this website and you will earn .20 PKR (PAKISTANI Rupee) for every message.

However, the trick here is you will have to wait until you earn Rs.300 and then only you will receive the payment check from them. Since they are paying only .20 pkr per message, it will take a long time to earn Rs. 300. However, if you refer this site to other people, you will start earning .10 INR for each message and for every your direct referral member. You will also earn .05 INR for second level referrals.

Thus if you able to build a network of around 1000 people only, you will start earning a good amount even if only single message is received by your referrals. So I think this is one of genuine way to work from home and Make Money Online.

Getting Traffic To Your Website

There are many ways to drive traffic to a site. This part is often a big stumbling block for people when they are starting out. I can understand why this happens. People get overwhelmed with all the different traffic generation techniques and feel overloaded with information.

Essentially you can separate ways to drive traffic into 2 types ( those that cost you nothing and those that cost you something ):

1) Free Traffic

Everyone loves free traffic. There are quick ways of getting that traffic and methods that work over the longer term. If you want to generate a buzz that can be intense but usually relatively short lived, then submitting a Press Release is one great way.

Web 2.0 - Check out the FREE course in the sidebar you can sign up for if you want to learn more about this.

Article Marketing - You write an article that has relevance to the content on your site. You can then submit this article to various article directories on the web and include links in your resource box back to your site. This can be very powerful as you will have direct traffic from people clicking on the links in the articles and also, over time your site will gain rankings for your target terms in the search engines.

Forum Posting - Sign up with a forum relevant to your niche and write a signature with a call to action ( don't spam as that will just get you banned ).

2) Paid Traffic

The most obvious here is PPC ( Pay Per Click ) - The most heavily used/popular is Google Adwords. MSN and Yahoo also have PPC programs.

Also consider advertising in Ezines, solo ads, banner advertising, link advertising and submitting a paid press release.

 My recommendation to you if you are starting out is to go with the free traffic generation techniques, then when you are starting to make money you can plough some of that back into paid methods for greater returns.
