Anda sering memakai search engine Google?

Jika Anda memasukkan kata atau frasa ke kolom search, maka akan keluar hasil pencarian sesuai kata atau frasa yang dimasukkan. Perhatikan pula tampilan disebelah kanan hasil pencarian terdapat iklan-iklan yang berhubungan dengan hasil pencarian. Itu yang disebut iklan Adwords Indonesia.

Beberapa tahun yang lalu, Google mulai menerima pemasangan iklan lewat banner dalam setiap proses pencarian via www.google.com. Google menyebut programnya ini dng nama : Google Adwords. Kemudian Google juga menawarkan kepada para pemilik website untuk ikut menampilkan iklan dari Google ini, dengan bayaran system bagi hasil ‘pembayaran setiap klik’ . Jadi jika pemasang iklan via Adwords Indonesia membayar sekian dollar/sen kepada Google untuk setiap klik iklan mereka, maka sebagian akan diberikan ke pemilik website yang ikut program ini, disebut Google Adsense Indonesia.

Banyak dari pemasang iklan berani membayar dengan harga yang tinggi agar iklan mereka tampil di Google. Bahkan iklan mereka bukan saja tampil di halaman hasil pencarian Google saja tetapi juga di situs-situs anggota Google (yang mendaftar Google Adsense) dan juga di email Gmail.

Jika Anda mendaftar account Google Adsense Indonesia maka Anda akan menerima sejumlah iklan Adwords tersebut di web site Anda. Ini berarti Anda membantu Google memperoleh income. Maka sudah sepatutnya Google membayar Anda juga.

Mereka yang mempunyai account Adsense dan menampilkan iklan-iklan Google sebagai Adsense Publisher. Sedangkan mereka yang beriklan lewat layanan adwords disebut Advertiser.

Jenis Google Adsense

a. Adsense Indonesia for Content

Menampilkan iklan-iklan dari mereka yang memasang iklan di Google (Google Adwords). Format tampilan dapat bermacam-macam, ada yang berupa gambar, ada pula yang yang hanya teks. Keduanya terbagi-bagi lagi dalam bermacam-macam bentuk antara lain:
- Leaderboard (iklan memanjang horisontal), biasanya dipasang pada atas halaman web.
- Banner (mirip Leaderboard tetapi dengan ukuran lebih kecil)
- Scycrapper dan Wide Skycrapper (memanjang vertikal), biasanya dipasang sebelah kiri (atau kadang kanan) dari halaman web.
- Square, Medium Rectangle, dan Large Rectangle (iklan berbentuk segiempat), biasanya dipasang pada permulaan atau pertengahan artikel.
Untuk lebih jelasnya silahkan lihat di:
https://www.google.com/adsense/adformats

Anda boleh memasnag maksimum 3 buah Adsense for Content dalam setiap halaman web Anda. Google akan ‘membaca’ tuisan yang terdapat di halaman web dimana Anda memasang iklan Google dan secara otomatis mereka akan menyesuaikan iklan apa yang ditampilkan.
Jadi jika Anda menulis tentang misalnya ‘furniture’, maka Google akan menampilkan iklan-iklan senada. Begitu pula untuk content web yang lain, iklan-iklan Google akan menyesuaikan.
Anda juga bisa mem-filter iklan-iklan tertentu untuk tidak tampil di website Anda, baik iklan-iklan dari pesaing Anda (mereka yang menjual produk/service yang sama dengan Anda) maupun iklan-iklan yang tarifnya murah.

b. Adsense for Search

Menampilakn fasilitas Search Engine Google di website Anda. Anda akan dibayar jika ada yang menggunakan fasilitas Search Engine tersebut. Harap bedakan dengan Google Free Search.
Baik Adsense for Search maupun Google Free Search melakukan pencarian sesuai kata yang kita masukkan. Keduanya pun bisa dipasang di website kita dengan gratis.

Perbedaannya, Anda akan dibayar jika ada pengunjung yang mencari lewat Adsense for Search, sementara bila Anda memasang Google Free Search, Anda tidak akan dibayar meskipun banyak pengunjung Anda yang menggunakannya.

Anda bisa memilih apakah mengadakan pencarian web saja atau juga pencarian situs (domain tertentu). Anda bisa memasukkan sampai 3 URL (nama domain) yang berbeda.
Kelebihan lainnya dari Adsense for Search adalah Anda dapat menyesuaikan halaman hasil pencarian, Anda dapat memasukkan logo serta warna yang diinginkan, terdapat 200 pilihan warna.

Sama seperti Adsense Indonesia for Content, Anda juga dapat memfilter hasil pencarian agar tidak menampilkan iklan tertentu. Bahkan Anda juga dapat memilih pencarian untuk katagori tertentu saja bagi fasilitas Adsense Search yang Anda sediakan di situs Anda. Bila fitur ini di non aktifkan maka Google akan melakukan ‘public search’ seperti biasa (menampilkan semua kategori).

c. Adsense for Refferal

Saat ini terdiri dari 4 macam (bisa saja bertambah kelak), yaitu:
- refferal untuk ‘Google Adsense’
Menampilkan tombol Refferal, yaitu tombol yang mengarahkan pengunjung untuk mendaftar Adsense melalui referensi Anda. Ada bermacam warna dan bentuk tombol yang dapat Anda pilih.

- refferal untuk Google Adwords
Menampilkan tombol refferal dimana pengunjung dapat mendaftar Google Adwords atas dasar referensi Anda.

- reffreral untuk Firefox
Menampilkan tombol dimana pengunjung dapat diarahkan ke halaman Google untuk mendownload browser Mozilla Firefox. Ketika pengunjung yang belum pernah menginstal firefox di komputer mereka, kemudian mereka menginstal FIrefox melalui refrensi Anda dan menjalankan browser tersebut untuk pertama kalinya, maka Anda akan mendapat income dari Google.

- refferal untuk Picasa
Menampilkan tombol dimana pengunjung dapat diarahkan untuk mendownload software photo organizer.

Ketika ada pengunjung datang ke situs Anda, mengklik link refferal seperti di atas, mendownload dan kemudian menginstal software ini di komputer mereka, maka Anda mendapat 1 dollar (US) dari Google.

Sekilas Google Adsense

Beberapa tahun yang lalu, Google mulai menerima pemasangan iklan via banner dalam setiap proses pencarian via google.com Google menyebut programnya ini dengan nama : Google Adwords. Kemudian Google juga menawarkan kepada para pemilik website untuk ikut menampilkan iklan dari Google ini, dengan bayaran system bagi hasil 'pembayaran setiap klik'. Jadi jika pemasang iklan via Adwords membayar sekian dollar/sen kepada Google untuk setiap klik iklan mereka, maka sebagian akan diberikan ke pemilik website yang ikut program ini, disebut Google Adsense.

Dari pengamatan saya, member Google Adsense dibagi menjadi 2 macam :
1. websitenya yang menggantungkan 100% dari Adsense
2. adsense digunakan sebagai penghasilan tambahan dari content asli website itu.

Ciri-ciri no. 1 adalah isi website tidak adanya content yang kuat, misal: Blog kalau ciri no 2 adalah isi websitenya berisikan content yang jelas , misal : toko online, komunitas, product barang, dll.

SAAT MENDAFTAR KE GOOGLE ADSENSE :
- Sebelum mendaftar, siapkan website yang akan didaftarkan, berbahasa inggris lebih baik dari pada berbahasa indonesia. mempunyai domain sendiri lebih besar kans nya untuk diterima oleh google. Website ini hanya untuk saat pendaftaran, sebab kemudian hari adsense bisa terima sampai 200 website dalam satu account. Usahakan website sudah berisi dan jelas isinya saat mendaftar.
- Saat mengisi formulir, jangan memasukkan informasi yang salah atau fiktif! (ciri khas orang indonesia di internet..he..he), semua apa adanya, sebab ini nanti hubungannya dengan alamat pembayaran.
Nama dan alamat jangan sampai salah satu karakter-pun, sebab bisa merepotkan diri sendiri saat terima pembayaran (Cek), usahakan sama dengan alamat di KTP anda.

SETELAH PENDAFTARAN DITERIMA :
- Masukkan kode script adsense ke website anda.
- Promosikan website anda, cara promosi banyak sekali, bentuk promosi yang paling bagus adalah via Search Engine, ada 3 search engine yang paling penting : 1. Google, 2. Yahoo dan 3. MSN
- Jangan mencoba melakukan spam dng sering meng-clik website anda sendiri, jika ketahuan bisa di banned oleh system di GA (Google Adsense). System penentuan sah tidaknya suatu klik pada banner iklan adsense sudah dibuat lumayan canggih, tidak berdasarkan ip address saja, namun berdasarkan beberapa kriteria tertentu (yang kurang etis kalau saya jabarkan disini), jangan terfokus bagaimana meng-akali system di GA (he..he..ciri orang indonesia di internet lagi), fokus saja di promosi dan isi content website anda.

PEMBAYARAN OLEH GA :
- Saat total pendapatan anda di GA mencapai $50, maka akan dikirim pin untuk konfirmasi, namun ini tidak selalu ada, kalau tidak pernah terima pin tak masalah.
- Jika total pembayaran sudah mencapai diatas $100, maka GA akan segera membuatkan sebuah cek untuk anda, ke alamat anda saat mendaftar.
- Pengiriman cek oleh GA bisa dua macam :
1. via pos biasa (bisa sampai 2 bulan terimanya), untuk member GA dari Indonesia biasanya dikirim dari Malmo, Swedia. Pengiriman ini tanpa biaya (ditanggung oleh GA)
2. via courier (DHL/Fedex), waktunya hanya 5 hari sudah sampai, ada biaya : $24 untuk setiap kirim. Biasanya untuk member GA dari Indonesia dikirim dari Dublin, Irlandia
- Cek GA biasanya dari Bank HSBC atau CItibank.
- Untuk proses pencarian bisa dilakukan di setiap bank ternama di indonesia (dng aturan sendiri2), proses cairnya sekitar 3 minggu dan ada biaya fee untuk bank itu (sekitar $10an)

LAIN-LAIN :
- Sejak pendapatan anda mencapai $100, jika via kantor pos, maka terima uangnya bisa makan waktu 4 bulan (1 bulan untuk proses di GA, 2 bulan untuk kirim pos, 1 bulan untuk pencairan), memang lama, namun anggap saja investasi jangka panjang.
- Jika pendapatan anda belum besar dan tergesa, lebih baik US$ dari GA di hold dulu (ada fasilitas ini di menu member), kumpulkan hasil dari beberapa bulan dulu , jika sudah dirasa besar jumlahnya, barulah minta dikirim!, kirim via DHL/Fedex lebih cepat dan lebih aman untuk jumlah yang besar.
- Jika pengiriman via kantor pos dan sampai 2 bulan belum tiba, anda bisa minta ganti cek, maka cek yang lama sudah tidak berlaku lagi. Cek hanya bisa dicairkan oleh nama yang tertera disitu, jadi aman.

LAST COMMENT :
- Belajar GA adalah suatu bentuk Internet Marketing sesungguhnya, bisa dijadikan investasi yang bagus untuk masa-depan anda, pada awalnya anda harus repot banyak seperti : menyiapkan content, website, promo, promo, terus promo, namun jika suatu saat penghasilan sudah mulai besar, maka bisa dikatakan bahwa pendapatan anda akan stabil di angka itu terus tiap bulannya, naik turun sedikit itu maklum (kecuali server down), semakin dipromosikan lagi semakin besar pendapatan anda tiap bulannya.
- Jangan pernah mengharap dalam tempo cepat hasil sudah besar : butuh waktu, butuh isi lebih bagus dan lebih banyak, butuh promosi dan butuh.... doa !. Pengalaman saya dulu terima hanya $100 lebih dikit perbulan, berkembang menjadi $1000 lalu berkembang lagi menjadi sudah lebih dari $1700, semoga akan berkembang terus...doakan saja.

The AdSense Factor

Google describes AdSense as “a fast and easy way for web site publishers of all sizes to display relevant Google ads on their web site’s content pages and earn money.” The AdSense ads displayed by Google on your site are matched to Google’s interpretation of the content theme of your site. In this manner, the AdSense ads will be of interest to your site visitors looking for the unique content your site offers to them.
AdSense is a system where Google places its AdWords ads on the content pages of non-Google web sites. It is a pay-per-click (PPC) service where webmasters are paid a portion of the revenue collected by Google from the advertisers. The advertiser pays Google a pre-determined amount each time a web site visitor clicks on an AdSense advertisement.

AdWords is the Source of AdSense Income
AdWords ads are the source of all the AdSense income you are able to generate. As a result, you need to fully understand the AdWords system in order to appreciate how the AdSense system works.
Google describes AdWords as “a quick and simple way to purchase highly targeted cost-per-click (CPC) advertising, regardless of your budget.” These paid ads (sponsored links) are displayed by Google on the search engine results page along with the non-paid (natural results) for a given keyword search.
In order to create a Google AdWords ad, it is necessary to specify what keyword or keyword phrase must be input by the visitor before your AdWords ad will be displayed. In addition, you need to set the maximum amount that you will pay to Google for each click on your AdWord.
There is a nominal activation fee but Google does not have a minimum monthly charge. Google provides an account Control Center that allows you to track the performance of your ad. The ad will be displayed within minutes to the searchers after your account billing information has been submitted to Google.
AdWords ads must adhere to specific Google requirements. The title can contain up to 25 characters, the ad text can have up to 70 characters and the display URL must be less than 36 characters.

AdWords Ranking
Google will rank an AdWords ad based on the maximum CPC, the click through rate (CTR) and the relevancy of the ad text. Google prefers relevant and well-targeted AdWords ads. Google determines ad placement using the value formula: CPC x CTR. The ad is placed higher as the valuation rises. It’s possible for an advertiser to have a high rank position with a low CPC if the CTR makes the value to Google higher than other ads with a higher CPC.
Google requires a minimum CTR in order to protect the AdWords program value for its users. The CTR of all AdWords ads are monitored by Google on a continuous basis. An under-performing AdWords ad may be disabled by Google if the CTR does not improve.

AdSense Program
You need to apply and be accepted by Google before you can display the AdSense ads on your web site. They are very particular about the sites that are eligible and accepted. Google’s name is on the ads and they cannot risk hurting the perceived value of the AdSense and AdWords programs.
Google requires you to comply with their program policies if your website is accepted into the AdSense program. Otherwise, your website may be dropped from the program.
Your site must be content-focused to be accepted. Google wants sites that offer high quality information or rich in relevant content. You should have lots of interesting and informative content for your site visitors.
As previously mentioned, AdSense is a program in which you get paid for your web site visitors clicking on targeted AdWords ads placed on your site. A click through is when a visitor clicks on one of the ads. The ads are placed in a display box that you put on your website in a location that earns you money.
You have a chance to make a significant amount of money if the AdSense box is placed in a strategic location on your site and you have sufficient targeted traffic.
The AdWords advertiser pays as little as $0.05 per click up to $100 per click depending on the unique keywords. The AdWords campaigns are usually budgeted for a specific period of time by the advertisers.

Contextual Advertising
Google uses proprietary algorithms to determine the content on each page of your web site with an AdSense box. It will identify the AdWords ads that are contextually relevant to your website visitors based on the content of your site. The identified AdWords ads are then displayed in your AdSense box. The ads on your site are the same ads that appear on the right side of a Google
search results page for a specific keyword.
Contextual advertising is the process of displaying ads on a web site that are targeted to the individuals visiting the specific web site. The Google contextual advertising system scans the content text on your web site for keywords on each web page with the AdSense box. Google will display ads on each web page based on what it believes is the keyword theme for that specific page.
For example, if Google determines that the theme of a specific web site is about “fishing” then fishing-related AdWords ads will be displayed in the AdSense box. The ads about fishing are an approximate fit to the context or subject of the web page as determined by Google.

Monetize Your Content Rich Website
Every webmaster with high-quality and focused web page content can monetize their knowledge and expertise by using AdSense. You need interesting and informative content on your site in order to bring free and targeted traffic to your web site and capitalize on the AdSense model.
You can generate revenue on your AdSense website on a consistent basis if your web site has a focused theme with targeted traffic. It’s a good idea to have multiple pages with rich content on various topics that are centered around the specific theme of your website. Google can then target relevant ads to display on each web page that contains the AdSense box.
Google performs all the technological work for you to use the AdSense program. After your web site is accepted into the AdSense program, you obtain the HTML code to insert into your web pages from Google. The code will incorporate whatever specific customization you choose for the AdSense box.
It does not take very long before relevant ads appear on your web pages. If the ads are not relevant then you need to modify your content and keywords to help Google isolate the theme of your site. This will involve trial and error.

AdSense Factor
The items needed (I call it the AdSense Factor) to make substantial money using the AdSense program include:
• A website with multiple web pages with a central content theme that draws significant targeted traffic.
• Relevant ads with high click values that are relevant to the theme on each web page.
• A high click through rate by your website visitors.

Website Central Theme
Your website should be based on a specific theme. This is where brainstorming comes into play. You need to spend ample time determining what the theme of your site should be. Generate a list of all your skills, capabilities and areas of interest as you would in developing a niche market.
Select one or more of the niches and identify a keyword phrase to be the central theme of your web site. Identify the “wants and needs” of individuals in that niche that desire information to be satisfied or produce a solution to a problem. In your brainstorming session, identify all the keywords you can that relate to the central theme.
As an example, assume your central keyword theme is “fishing.” Potential supporting keywords could include (depending on the direction you take): fishing rods, lures, tackle, bait, gear, reels, boats and a long list of related items. You then need to develop a separate web page for every keyword item that you use to support the central theme.

Keyword Page Content
Each keyword page needs to have quality content that would be of interest and informative to your prospective visitors looking for information. You can develop the content yourself, use existing free information or pay someone to develop the content for you.
As a starter, you should attempt to generate the content yourself. Research each topic keyword and write articles of 200 to 600 words. The articles should be informative and rich in keywords for each web page with an AdSense box. Remember that “more” is better. The more content-related pages you have then the more AdSense ads you will be able to display and hopefully the more money you will make.
If you believe that you absolutely cannot write articles for whatever reason then look for existing free articles on your web page topic(s). You can also hire a freelance or ghostwriter at very reasonable rates to write articles for you. The choice is yours on how you proceed to get content for your web pages.
When you write your own articles, try to write your articles as if you were talking to someone. Plan on inserting the keyword or keyword phrase in as many places that make sense. The keyword density should be in the 5 to 10% range. This means that the keyword should be included about once every 10 to 20 words in the article. In order to help Google determine the theme for each of your web pages with the AdSense box: use headings and subheadings, use "h1" through "h5" tags where appropriate to add attention and make all keywords bold "b" text in your articles.

Conclusion
You need to consider implementing AdSense on your site if you want to make money from advertising. Google has made it relatively easy and clear to monetize your website through the use of AdSense. The steps involved in the process are:
• First – develop a central keyword theme for your website that contains informative and quality information desired by your targeted visitors.
• Second – develop multiple content rich web pages with individual keyword themes that are focused around your central keyword theme.
• Third - apply and get accepted into the Google AdSense program.
• Fourth - install the AdSense ads box on each content web page with a defined keyword theme.
• Fifth - drive targeted traffic to your website where a percentage of your visitors looking for your informative and quality information will click on the AdSense ads.
• Sixth - collect and enjoy the money paid to you by Google for the clicks on each ad you presented to your visitors.
Keep the “AdSense Factor” in mind when developing your web pages and your visitors will have a high interest in your content. This will lead to your visitors clicking on the AdSense ads and putting money into your pocket.

Google AdSense programs: Choose your weapon(s)!

Google currently (mid 2005) offers three programs: AdSense for content, AdSense for search, and Premium AdSense.

AdSense for content
AdSense for content is the main AdSense program – contextually targeted ads are displayed on your webpage, and you get paid for every click. These ads are specifically targeted to the content of your webpage. Consequently, if you change the content of your page, the ads that are displayed would also change. AdSense allows you good control over what ads get served, since there might be some obvious problems if it didn’t. These include:

Blocking Ads – you choose
While the ad selection is automatic, you can block unwanted ads – such as those from your competitors. You just tell Google which companies to block from your sites.

Reviewing and filtering Ads – semi-automatic
Google has its own strict policies for ad content (no profanity, no racial discrimination, etc). These are filtered out automatically from your point of view. Additionally, you can choose to block additional content through custom filters. This is slightly different than blocking an advertiser, since with this method an advertiser you generally allow may submit ads that would individually be filtered out.

Allowing the publisher to select an ad
In the rare case where Google’s content engines can’t make a clear match of ads to pages, they will let you pick which ads you want served. If you don’t pick, you’ll get public service spots.

The look-and-feel of Ads can be customized
Ads shouldn’t look out of place or be jarring on your website. Google allows you to customize colors and layout. You can choose options provided or have your own custom layout and color applied to the ads. The advertisers have no control over this; as the material appears on your site, you can and should select how it looks.

Tools for analysis
Tracking and analyzing the performance of any marketing campaign is critical. Google AdSense provides a range of comprehensive online reports that allow you to monitor and analyze your earnings as well as the performance of ads by many metrics, including size, color, and so forth, so you can make adjustments to maximize the value of the placements.

AdSense for Search
This is another program whereby Google allows you to ad a Google Search box to your website. By doing this, visitors to your site can search the entire internet from your website itself. In a way, your site becomes a host to Google. Except you make money!
The search results page that is displayed when a visitor on your website searches through the search box on the site itself, also displays Google Ads (AdWords ads) next to the usual listings, just as it would on Google.com. If the visitor clicks on any of these Google Ads, you get paid as well. Thus, with AdSense for search you can enhance your income potential beyond what just the content of your actual site can provide.
AdSense for search offers all the same options and controls as AdSense for content. These include ad customization, ad filtering, monitoring and tracking results, and so on.

Google AdSense Premium service
The AdSense Premium service provides advanced functionality and features, provided your website qualifies for it – which in fact very few sites do.
As a base requirement, your website should received at least 5 million search queries or 20 million page views a month to qualify for the Premium service. (We’re betting if your sites qualify for this level of service, you already know all about AdSense!)

What is Google AdSense?

Google AdSense is an ad-serving program that places ads that “make sense” – specifically, that make sense based on relevant content, and assumptions about who might be interested in that content. AdSense is an application of the broader concept of Contextual Marketing. Contextual Marketing is just what it sounds like. On a website about custom cars, you might have an ad for fancy wheels or car care kits. On a website about off-roading, you might have an ad for durable truck tires or spotlight rigs. A hockey site might advertise hockey sticks…and a tennis site, tennis shoes. Contextual Marketing just means aligning the ad serving with the context/nature of the website and its audience, the same way like items are grouped in a store. And the “context” can be cut much finer than website level, it can be page level, article level, and so on, so the ads always match the material they are appearing near, and thus, appeal to the interest of the reader/buyer at any given moment.

So what’s in it for you – the website publisher/owner? That’s easy. Every time a visitor to your site clicks one of these ads, you make money. The better the ads are targeted, the more clicks you get, the more money you make. AdSense displays easy-to-read, text-based, relevant ads that don’t overshadow the content of your website or annoy visitors. Actually, you have seen hundreds of these ads yourself, as you’ll realize in a moment.

Today there are probably only a few places in your website that can directly make you money, if any. The magic of Google AdSense is this: It allows you to earn money through every page of your website. On top of that, with algorithms used to align ad content with page content Google automatically selects and displays ads for your website that are likely to generate the highest revenue for you.

AdSense is an application of AdWords beyond Google.com
Making “sense” of AdSense means understanding that it is really an offshoot of the older Google model, AdWords. But they are not the same thing.

Google AdWords
If you have ever searched on Google, you have seen AdWords.
Google AdWords are the small text ads that are displayed on the side of the search results in Google. These ads are contextual of course – in this case the context is the search terms you entered. The ads will be served based on what you’re looking for. So, if you do a search on “printing services” you will get ads for printing services along with your search results!
How does this generate money for Google and the advertisers?
Google AdWords works on a model known as pay-per-click. When someone clicks on an AdWords ad, the advertiser of that ad has to pay Google a certain amount. It’s easy to track and fully automated.
We say “certain amount” because that amount is different all the time and is subject to market forces – in this case, bidding. Something has to determine the placement of those ads, and what determines it is how much the advertiser offers to pay per click. When you submit this kind of ad to Google, you submit it with a bid – which is compared to other bids for similar keywords. It’s an auction style process.
The position of the AdWords ads is based on the bidding amount of keywords of an ad. Obviously, the higher the bid, the higher the position the bid buys you. For instance, if the highest bid for the keywords “Internet marketing” is 80 cents per click, you can get top position by bidding 90 cents. Then every time someone clicks on your ad, Google would charge you 90 cents, and you would retain the top position until someone else bids more for the same search word placement.

Google AdSense, as stated earlier, is an extension of Google AdWords. It takes the AdWords concept and moves it off of Google’s search page and onto thousands of other web pages. The ads that are displayed on the websites are Google AdWords ads.

It’s good for the advertiser, who gets more and broader displays, for Google, who charge more for this program, for you, who will make money from the clickthroughs on your pages, and also for the consumer, who will see cool ads for stuff they are probably interested in!

So how exactly are you making money from all this? You earn a share of the pay-per-click amount, every time a visitor clicks on the ad. So you just need to get ads on your site…

How the Ads Get On Your Site
Once you join the AdSense program – and Google approves your site or sites, which we’ll cover in detail shortly – the actual process of displaying ads on your website is extremely simple. You are provided with a small HTML script, which you can paste anywhere on your webpage. You may paste this code any number of times and on multiple pages, and watch the ads get served! Google automatically places AdWords ads that are most relevant, from its extensive advertiser base. Google employs various sophisticated algorithms to determine the relevancy of the ads to your content.
Before we get into how Google assesses sites, and whether a few or many placements of that magic script will deliver optimum results, let’s review the advantages of AdSense.

Advantages of the Google AdSense system
Google AdSense is simple to use and manage. Once approved, displaying ads on your webpage does not take time and requires minimal technical knowledge.
Google AdSense is very smart about ad selection. The ads that are displayed are only those that are relevant to your content, and Google has strict quality control on the general quality of the ads.
Google AdSense uses text-only ads. Far from being low-tech, text ads are more effective than flashy ads. The clickthrough rate of text ads is proven to be higher than that of animated ads! More clicks equals more money, and text ads equals more clicks. Also…text ads are very “low weight” and very fast loading. The AdSense program will not slow your website, or your visitors, down. You can also use graphic ads.

Make Sense of Google AdSense – and make money!

As a successful web publisher looking to get to the next level, you are probably thinking about trying a number of different approaches to increasing revenue – especially your passive revenue, the money that just “shows up” from time to time while you focus on other things. You may be considering various forms of internet advertising. And you should.

Internet advertising has exceeded all expectations. The technology keeps advancing, and the popularity and ubiquity of the medium is incredible. Most companies can benefit from the Internet because it allows the chance to reach a global audience at never-before-possible speeds, with many kinds of filters to make sure the right audience sees the right message, and costs that are often surprisingly low. But many businesses make money online in ways that have very little to do with their own actual business, but with systems that connect various companies and offerings together.

You may be wondering how to make money easily with online advertising, and you have come to the right place!

The secret is that taking ads is a much more profitable strategy then placing ads for most websites. And the best way to make money with this right now is “hiding in plain sight” from the world’s most popular search engine company.

While there are many ways to approach online advertising, it makes sense the best would be offered by the ultimate search engine company, the company that is setting out to organize all of humanity’s vast amounts of information – Google. This method is Google Ad Words, and it’s sister program, Google AdSense. With Ad Words, Google makes a lot of money. With AdSense, web publishers – that’s you! – can reach a lot of people and make a lot of money too!

In this report, we’re going to focus in on how to make sense of, and a lot of money with, Google’s AdSense program. Want to make five or ten or twenty thousand dollars a month automatically and be paid by one of the biggest Internet companies in the world?

We’ll describe what AdSense is, how it works, how to get started, how to maximize the program, and where to go from here! Ready?

First let’s examine what AdSense is and how it works.
