Making Money With Adsense
When I first
decided to Blog, I did a lot of reading and felt Blogger would suit me best.
With so many
“Get Rich Quick” stories floating around the Internet, it seems that more and
more people are looking for ways to make money from their blog. After all, if
other people are making money on line, then it can’t be all that hard, can it? It
is this line of thinking that has people from all around the world starting up
blogs and hoping to make some fast cash.
Unfortunately,
it isn't as easy as it sounds. Sure, it’s not at all hard to sign up with
Blogger and set up a free blog – all you need to do is fill out a few forms and
select the template you like best. The catch is, maintaining a blog is a lot of
work and you’ll need an established blog before you can apply for a Google
Adsense account. Google declines applications for blogs that do not contain
enough quality content. It is important
that you do not apply for the program too early. I was declined the first time
I applied. I didn't have enough content so my blog grew with many more posts. I waited a few months – reapplied and was approved.
To ensure that your
blog is of high enough quality to be accepted into the Google Adsense program,
you’ll need to find an interesting angle to your chosen topic and create many worthwhile
posts about it. My posts were about “Product Reviews” It will take a lot of hard
work and dedication before you start to see a steady stream of visitors to your
blog, so be prepared for a few months of hard work and learning to post your
articles on social media daily.
This period
between writing quality blog posts and waiting for the visitors to arrive is
where most new bloggers ultimately give up. It can be discouraging to spend so
much time adding interesting and informative content, only for it to sit there
unread. Unfortunately, your first posts will likely go unseen until you have
established yourself as a quality blogger.
That leaves us
with the question, “How does a person establish themselves as a quality
blogger?” Well, you can do this by continuing to add useful content to your
blog and implementing various marketing strategies to bring in more visitors.
As you add more posts and work on marketing your blog, your readership will
gradually increase. Get into groups on Facebook where others can share your
content and Follow Groups so you can share your content on Twitter, Stumbleupon
etc.
A great way to
establish visitors is have a button for visitors to subscribe by email to our
blog. When using Blogger an email is sent daily of the articles I posted that
day. The full set up on that will be followed by my next article if you are not
familiar with it. You can also visit feed-burner to learn more and set it up
now.

Once your
application has been accepted, you will be able to select the size, shape,
color, and location for the Adsense ads that will be displayed on your blog.
Testing various combinations of ad types, colors, and locations will help you to
maximize your Adsense revenue.
When I first
started Adsense I was making maybe a couple of cents a week. It increased just
as my blog viewers have increased. It still does go up and down and I of course
would like to earn more. The more visitors to my site = more clicks on ads.
I found the
best colors to use is the same colors as your blog. It increased my earnings
greatly. Adsense does give you suggested size templates to use and I do use
what they recommend in turn it brings the most amount of clicks.
As you can see,
making money with Adsense and Blogger will require a lot of time and effort.
Fortunately, if you are willing to add quality posts and market your blog, it
can be lucrative. Just be prepared to stick with it long term and wait until
you have an established blog before applying for a Google Adsense account.
