Adsense is one of the easiest PPC program you can actually signup for and make money out of it though many bloggers like John Chow and Problogger(Darren Rowse) who have given them up on their blog and even made comments that Adsense don't make as much money as sponsors do. They have their point there, but the question is are you getting that sort of traffic per day to even think about getting sponsors to monetize your blog?
Google Adsense Made for the young and Old
Google Adsense are for everyone, regardless whether you are a newbie or a pro blogger with vast experiences, Adsense can make you money. It is very simple to apply for an account and all you need to do is .
Many says Adsense don't make money so i follow
There are tons of ways to make money online and using Adsense is just one of the many. They can be many reasons why bloggers say they are not making money with Adsense.
- They expect to make $1/day when their blog is not even 1 month old
- They expect to make $100/mth when they have less than 1000 visitors per month
- They are not making as much as John chow so they give up on Adsense
- They do invalid clicks and got ban so they say Adsense don't make money
- They don't even have an Adsense account but they say they don't make money
Getting started with Adsense
There are 3 products you can choose, Adsense Content,Adsense Search and Referral. I will touch on the adsense content portion since its what many users are looking for how to get it setup.
Under "Adsense Setup" click on "Adsense for content"
There are 2 types of ads available for you to chose, "Ad Unit" which allows you to choose whether you want to have Text and images ads or just purely Text Ads/Images Ads only.
The "Link Unit" are in text ads and they look like navigation links, i will have this explained further later.
Standard Ads Unit
These are the ads formats that you can chose from and there are many variety from this list, lets go straight to the what you need to do to get the best ad placement out of so many choices.
Google have done a survey and found out that their most effective ads placements are 336x280 Large Rectangle, 300x250 Inline Rectangle and 160x600 wide skyscraper. Personally i am using a 300x250 inline rectangle and it seems to be working well.Learn to place them in Google Heatmap zones so that valid and effective clicks can be created.
Link Unit
Remember i talked about the link unit resembling like your navigations? These link units can be created and each link unit displays a list of topics relevant to the content of your site, and when users click on one of these topics, they're brought to a page of AdWords ads related to that topic.Link units are particularly effective for more focused content, where visitors tend to be seeking specific information. I personally use a horizontal Link Unit, You got to see which suits your site.
Colors
You can create a range of colors which blends the ads into your blog. Try avoiding borders cause they look unnatural on your blog.
Corner Style
Recently Google added another rounded style which is good if you have a site designed with rounded borders around otherwise recommendation to stick with the square corners.
Adding Channels
Why do we need to add channels? It is to track the number of impressions and clicks you receive on that channel. basically if you have many ads format on one site or maybe you have 3 sites and you would like to keep track of your CTR then it is best to have channels for individual ads unit. It allows you to keep track and know which ads are doing well on your site.
Google Adsense code implementation on your site
This will be the example of a Adsense code that you can add on your blog.
- Google client - The xxxxx is represented by numbers and its an identification number that it is your ads.
-
Google Width/Height/format/type/channel - these are the pre setting that you have done before hand
Make sure you do not modify the java script, please read the and
Allowing your Adsense to be placed in your XML script
This problem arise and was solved sometime back when you copy the entire code and could not have it placed in your XML script.You would be required to change these 2 code.
See the one highlighted in red, change the code to the one which i have given you, this code allows the script to read it as < and same for the bottom one, that code would allow the script to read it as >
Google Ads Disappears on my post
For Ads unit and Link Unit, you can have a maximum of 3 ads each in 1 page. 3 standard ads unit and 3 Link unit.

Yeah i believe that adsense can make you money but there is one thing that its hard to earn with adsense the thing is traffic the hardest thing when blogging is not the content if you have the coolest blog in the world but without traffic then whats the use am i wright.

is that adsense allow publisher to modified the banner code?i remember that it's not even a bit.
adsense revenue depend on "click" on advertisement,so some webmaster even have huge traffic for their website,but no body clicking on the ads mean nothing profit.somehow,some websites just have a bit traffic,but they got many "clicks" by visitor.it has been depend on luck too.

Hi keel wong, you are not allowed to modifiy the code for all banners or text links.
You can have high traffic but if your ads are not well blended or placed at strategic places which i have mention some hot placements, then you will get lesser clicks.
Of course adsense at times depends on your keyword relevance on your site. If your site have high traffic then your worry is just to get your ads placed correctly.

Adsense doesn't cost you so why not give it a try. I find that if you have compelling content then people don't even notice the ads. They just fly right by to continue reading. If you don't have interesting reading you don't keep your visitor verying long and maybe they click on a link to continue their search.

A very strange theory on how to create a click in this manner but it sound logical that it could happen that way.maybe curiosity was the key to creating click revenues.

To make money online is a large percentage of today’s population goal in the recession that is upon us. Small business owners and most major companies are looking to make money online too. With webhosting ranging from 6.95 to 20 dollars per month start up cost and monthly fees are far less than running a brick and mortar business.

Google is, I think, one of the easiest ways to get up and making a decent amount of money online. You just need to realize that 1) regular readers will not give you clicks 2) search visitors give you clicks, 3) you need to rank well for search terms to get good results. 4) research and focus on a niche and see what you can do.

Your site is fantastic. I really like your writing and respect your views about AdSense, I see people complaints more about AdSense than they make everyday.. I just started adsense and it's treating me well, too bad, I didn't get a chance to see about AdSense on this page because this page is very well-written for those who wanted to setup in very easy way.
You have a great site.

I have always been wondering how useful Google Adsense is to our sites. Since I am new to it, although some colleagues of mine already told me about this still I lack knowledge of it.
July 6, 2009 1:05 AM
Honestly, I don't use adsense, and never will. I find it much more profitable to stick my own ad in the place where I would normally stick an adsense ad, which means I can collect the commission, instead of the advertiser.
But I LOVE the people that do use adsense, because I like using the content network. :D
