Google Adsense - This allows Google...
(Page 2 of 4 )
This allows Google to get an idea of what the web page is about and they can then display the adverts that are most appropriate to your visitors which in turn means that there is more chance that your visitors will click on an ad....
So why would you want to do this?
Simple - because Google will pay you a percentage of every cent they earn when someone clicks on an advert on one of your pages. Now I know what you are thinking, 'If some people are only paying 5cents a click, then my percentage of 5cents isn't going to be much is it?' In truth, no it isn't but as I have always said, the Internet is a numbers game and whilst a proportion of 5cents is always going to be small, what about if you got a proportion of 1000 5cents each day? You also need to bear in mind that there are very few search terms out there that only cost 5cents - in my experience, a more accurate average would be about 20cents - 50cents.
I know many people that have been using Adsense for some time on their main websites and easily make a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars a month and that's great. Quite frankly, it is probably the easiest income you will ever make because other than adding a bit of code to your web pages, there is nothing else to do. If you have a website with a reasonable level of traffic, I would definitely give it a go. Some people have a concern that by using Adsense, they may lose potential customers as they could click away from their site and this is a genuine possibility so you should take care when considering where to place adverts and on which pages.
