Make Sense Of Google Adsense And Make Money!- Lesson 1
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.
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.
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!)
