Making Money Online with Google Adsense
April 11th, 2007
If you’ve already heard of or tried Google Adsense, then this post may not appeal to you. I know this blog post is a bit late, considering Adsense has been out for years, and there are thousands of blog posts about it.
Having experienced my own small success with Adsense, I will attempt to explain to you the benefits of Google Adsense, and how you can generate a decent income from it.
I won’t convince you into thinking that it’s easy or quick money. However, with a little know-how and some perseverence, you’ll be able to see positive results from it.
It is important that you have a fully functioning website before you decide to apply for the publisher program. Google will review your website, and approve it based on its content and quality. If your website does not meet their quality standards or TOS (terms of service), they will have no problem rejecting your application. Afterall they can afford to picky; they already have thousands of webmasters serving their ads daily.
If you get rejected, don’t get discouraged. Many webmasters get rejected their first time around. You may just have to re-vamp your site a bit.
If you are one of the lucky ones to be approved, you are one step closer to making some extra cash. Google Adsense is considered a CPC program, or Cost-Per-Click. What this means is that whenever a guest or visitor comes to your website and clicks on any Google ads, you get paid a commission. This is a highly effective way to earn because you get paid on clicks, not leads or sales.
There are other competitors in the CPC ad market, such as YPN (Yahoo Publisher Network) and Bidvertiser, but Google Adsense is still the 800 pound Gorilla. One of the main reasons why Adsense has been so successful is their ability to serve relevant ads. This is vital to maximizing click conversion rates.
So, why is this advertising model good for all parties involved?
- Advertisers receive targetted traffic.
- Publishers make money from serving relevant ads.
- Google gets a cut from each click served.
Adding Google Adsense is Easy!
Login to your Adsense account, and customize the look and feel of your ad. After customizing, simply copy and paste the html code into your existing website. Now, you’re done!

I apologize for the late response. In regards to cashing a check in a foreign country that does not accept checks, I really don’t know much about that. I assume it would depend on the specific policies of that country. Have you considered international electronic payment providers such as Paypal or Xoom?
In regards to Bidvertiser, the best way I can describe them is that they are a small version of Google Adsense. Acceptance into Bidvertiser’s program may be easier than Adsense, but their ads are not as targeted or relevant.
