How to Make Money with Adsense

The best Adsense tips to keep in mind, especially when starting out as an Adsense newbie, are the following:

Adsense blogs Tip 1. Keep it simple, keep it boring. The very basic Blogspot templates are all it takes to set-up an Adsense blog properly.

Why? For a couple reasons...

First of all, we don't want to attract readers - we want to attract clickers via the search engines. When the template is basic and ugly, the Adsense ads will stand out more without us literally mentioning them in our blog posts. Our blog posts are for keywords so the bot knows what our blogs are about.

Second, we want to make the Google bot's job easier by being able to scan our content in a snap. This gets us ranked for keywords sooner and better.


Adsense blogs Tip 2. Don't put Adsense on blogs that have a loyal readership and/or attractive templates or Wordpress layouts. These readers won't click on your ads, and when the blue moon comes out and someone finally does, you will get Smart Priced. More on smart pricing in a future post.

When it comes to Adsense, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I'd like to share a few of these with you:

"Adsense Tips and Tricks":


Problem 1. I'm not getting any clicks!!!

A lot of times, Adsense can be a "hit or miss" situation. Sometimes it can be very successful for you, and sometimes, well... it doesn't quite pan out.

Why is this? It could be luck (or lack of) - or the topic you chose. It's not always your fault, but sometimes you can do things to correct it. Here are some adsense tips and tricks I have to remedy this:

Adsense tips and tricks #1. Try a different monetization method other than Adsense. Affiliate programs perhaps? Adsense is one path, but keep in mind that there are many others!

Adsense tips and tricks #2. Also, you could seek out different keywords that might attract more "search engine answer seekers" who have a higher chance of being interested in your ads. You don't want "browsers" or "readers" or "lurkers" or "squatters"... You want "seekers" who are desperately looking for the answer to some burning question they have. These people are usually more click-happy.

Adsense tips and tricks #3. Another possibility could be that you should abandon that particular topic altogether or turn it into something similar that might work out better for you. Sometimes you miss the "wave" with a topic (Susan Boyle, for example) and if you don't get the blog up fast enough, it's not going to work. My best Adsense tips and tricks for you here is to start out with topics that are less "trendy" and try niches that tend to stick around or hold interest longer. Hobbbies maybe? Or how-to topics? Specific health issues? Whatever.... you name it, you can make a blog for it! And I guarantee there are people searching for it!

Adsense tips and tricks #4. Is your topic too general? Turn it into a 2nd tier link source and make a blog (or several) that branch from the original/general topic. You know... the type of blogs that are so specific, you can't mistake what they are about! Also, this usually makes it easier to get on the first page of google, depending on what the topic is. I find that you get more clicks when the topic of your blog or site is highly specific and if it's optimized where your search engine traffic is coming from people who are specifically looking for that particular thing - not something similar or something remotely related.

Want to know about Problem 2? That will be my next Adsense tips and tricks post. Stay tuned...

What do I know about making money with Adsense?

I learned from the best - Grizzly, at his make money online blog.

Oh- and all the info on his blog is free!

A Side Note about SEO and other terms: I will use jargon and terms on here that may not be familiar to non-Grizzly readers. That's why you need to familiarize yourself with his teachings before joining me here at this make money online with Adsense blog. From here on out I will talk as though you have a tight grasp on the terminology used for SEO and by Griz. OK so... moving on.....

Yes, but not as much as I'd like to. I'll be honest. Thus far, I have made about $100 in about 6 months of working on it off and on. Sometimes life gets in the way of making money online as I'm sure most of you know already. I have a 6 year old and he keeps me very busy. :)


About this "make money with Adsense" blog

My goal is to help you create a full time income with Adsense; I do plan to keep you updated on my Adsense income. ;) That's part of the reason I created this make money online blog. The other reason is that I want to supplement some of the things Grizzly teaches with my own commentary, just in case it's helpful to someone. Knowing how to make money with Adsense can be difficult for beginners, and I hope to offer up the Adsense and SEO (search engine optimization) knowledge I do have.

Why do I want to help you make money with Adsense? Isn't that competition for me?

No, not really. I want to help you because, in the longrun, it helps me as well. There are literally millions of niche topics we can make blogs on and we can all gain healthily from sending one-way properly anchored backlinks amongst ourselves. It's a win-win situation here and I will never sell you useless crap. I sell all the useless crap on my other niche blogs. No need for that here at this make money with Adsense blog. This is an informative blog only.

One last thing...

This Adsense information blog will most likely branch out into other make money online blogs as I think of appropriate topics and keyword relationships.

I'm not expecting that, so honestly, my initial plan for this make money with Adsense blog is to create a link source for my other MMO related blogs. If it goes farther than that purpose, then great. If not, oh well. At the very least, maybe some of you will learn how to make money with Adsense by reading my posts. See you next time...
