Dear friends,
Google AdSense has rapidly gained a status of an
independent online business model. Many average
people with a little knowledge of HTML are earning
a fortune with AdSense.
The AdSense comes under the category of "pay per click
affiliate" programs. This means you get paid when
someone click on the ad which resides on your website.
There are many reason for the success of the AdSense
program. The very first reason is it is launched
by Google, the leaders of Search Engines. After
establishing themselves in the crowd of Search Engines
they had a crown of credibility with them.
The second reason for the popularity lies in the fact that
Google is not concerned about the amount of traffic you
are getting to your website.
They are more concerned about content. If the content
is really good your site will generate visitors over a
period of time. This is unlike many other pay per click
affiliate programs, which have a condition on the number
of visitors you are getting per day, before your application
gets approved.
This creates an interesting situation for online
entrepreneurs. The more the traffic they generate to
their site, the more is the possibility to get the
AdSense ad clicked and they get paid.
Now Google also benefits from this. Since AdSense ads are
nothing but the same ads from the Google AdWords account
holders, Google charges the AdWords account holder of
that particular ad which is being clicked and pays
a small portion to the webmaster on whose website the
AdSense ad resides.
The amount which Google charges the AdWords account
holder and pays the AdSense account holder is determined
entirely by the online popularity of the given "keyword"
for which the ad was written by the AdWords account holder.
This is where the real opportunity has come up for online
newcomers. Most people put a lot of energy in finding
"high paying" keywords or simply purchase a database
of "high paying keywords", create a small website around
the keyword, put AdSense code in it and start generating
traffic which might click on the ad and expect to get paid
high.
But here is the real kicker! The amount which you get
paid is dependent of 5 different factors. Some of the
factors are out of the control of the webmaster (you).
For example if a keyword phrase pays something around
$14 to $15 per click. Most people think that even if they
get a 1% click through rate, that is 1 person clicks out of 100 visiting their website, Google will put $14 in my account.
Yes it's true, but not always!
The amount which you get paid, depends on which ad gets shown
on your website. The ad which gets shown on your website
is dependent upon the relevancy and lot more other
factors.
The true success with AdSense lies not on targeting only
"high paying" keywords, but with focusing on creating
highly informative content and getting repeat visitors.
Google loves content. If you provide it on your website
you will automatically get more visitors and increase
the possibility of high click through rate which leads
to more income to you and Google.
So, learn to build traffic first and then fine tune your
website with AdSense script to start earning immediately.
The true success with AdSense is with generating content
rich pages and attracting traffic. "High paying keywords"
is a secondary factor with AdSense
