Conclusion
AdSense is a wonderful invention by Google. It allows us, the Web site publishers, to make some extra cash from our sites with very little effort.
If you already have a site getting decent traffic, then AdSense will be an instant success for you.
However, if you’re just getting started then yes , you do have some work to do. But the good news is, the more you work at building and marketing your site, the better the rewards. You can make a ton of money with AdSense, just remember the following points…
1) It’s a MUST you learn how to manage/update the Web site yourself. If you pay someone to build one for you, make sure they educate you on further maintenance and updates. Buy CoffeeCup or Dreamweaver and learn the basics. Or if you use Site Build It! to create your site, you won’t need any software.
In order to maintain your traffic levels and keep your AdSense revenue coming in, your site should be updated frequently with fresh content and you do not want to rely on a 3 rd party for the site updates.
2) Only choose topics that interests you. Don’t worry about the earning potential because the money will come once your site generates enough traffic. You will enjoy this process so much more if you are passionate about the subject matter. Plus, it will be much easier to come up with fresh, useful and informative content
3) Understand this will not happen overnight. It could take months before you start seeing any real traffic and income from AdSense. Thanks to all the junk and spam sites out here, Google and other engines are very slow and careful about ranking sites.
You have to earn a good ranking by building a useful site and getting other quality, related sites to link back to you. You want people to recommend your site voluntarily
4) Marketing is everything when it comes to success with AdSense!
a) Do a Google search for forums in your niche (topic + forums) and go where your target audience hangs out. Become a member of these forums and put a link to your site in your signature file.
b) Find other Webmasters in your niche and see if there’s a way for you to submit articles for their site, blog or ezine. These days, networking is everything.
c) Check out my search engine ranking article to discover how to optimize your site for higher rankings in Google, Yahoo, etc.
Remember, success takes time. And unless you already have a well-trafficked site or blog, the AdSense revenue is not going to be instant.
But if you start with a topic you are passionate about and learn the basics of building a Web site, you are well on your way to success.
Once again… AdSense is not just about launching a quick site or blog with ads and the money rolls in. It’s about building a long-term site with useful information targeted to a specific audience or group.
No matter what topic you chose, there will be competition, so your goal is to be THE BEST in whatever niche you choose. Think outside the box and come up with creative ways to deliver your content.
Two of my sites are in very competitive niches, but I worked hard to offer content that my competitors don’t. As a result, other sites to link back to me voluntarily. The search engines notice this and reward me with a lot of free traffic everyday.
Study existing sites on your topic (or potential topic) and think of ways you can expand upon what they’ve done to make your site more useful.
And if you still need to create your Web site, go to my Web Site Creation Options page .
Good luck and here’s to many big AdSense checks coming your way . Cheers to your success!

Getting The Most Out Of AdSense
As I’ve emphasized throughout this book, traffic is a definite must for success with AdSense. And while the amount you need to succeed varies so drastically, it’s pretty safe to say that if you’re getting at least 100 unique visitors per day, you will start to see some steady income.
Of course that traffic number will vary from site to site, so please don’t use that as a benchmark. If you have a very well defined niche and the ads Google displays are EXTREMELY targeted to your audience then your click-thru rate (CTR) may be higher than average, thus earning you more per visitor.
Note : The click-thru rate is simply the percentage of ad views divided by number of clicks. So you if you have 400 page displays and receive 40 clicks, then your click-thru rate is 10% (400 divided by 40).
While Google does not disclose how much you earn per ad, you can login to your account anytime to view your CTR.
What’s a Good Click-Thru Rate?
In online marketing, an average click-thru rate is between 1 and 2%, however with AdSense, people have reported much higher numbers. In fact, my flat stomach site has recorded click-thrus as high as 8% on some days, but my Web site creation site usually averages around 2%.
Experiment With Ad Placement
If want to improve your CTR try playing around with placement of the ads.
Many AdSense gurus will tell you that one of the best places to put the ads is vertically along side your text. See the following screenshot…
See how the ads flow with the main content on the page? It’s natural for the eye to just wander to the right of the page to view them.
In order to achieve this layout, I simply added a table that was right aligned on the page and placed the AdSense code inside the table.
I just pasted the code below at the top of my page right before my content…
And if you want to change the width of the ad area, change the 120 attribute in the HTML code to whatever suits you.
Another good place to display the ads is right at the very end of your articles in a horizontal view like this…

INSERT GOOGLE ADSENSE CODE HERE
And if you want to change the width of the ad area, change the 120 attribute in the HTML code to whatever suits you.
Another good place to display the ads is right at the very end of your articles in a horizontal view like this…
(Please note the red box around the ads is just to point them out in this visual. There is no red box on my actual site. It is against Google’s TOS to modify the AdSense code, and that includes putting boxes around the ads and/or calling them out in any way.)
This makes the ads look like they are part of the article, so when your audience finishes reading, they are naturally drawn to the ads at the end. My CTR went up when I started using this placement.
To get this ad format choose the horizontal 468x60 layout when getting your ad code. This ad layout also works well underneath titles and sub titles on the page.
Get Colorful
Switch up the color of your ad’s links and text. I personally prefer to use the same colors that I use on my site, but many have found success by changing them up. So it’s good to experiment and see what works best for you.
Use Meta Tags & Focused Content for More Relevant Ads
Meta tags are descriptors that go into the HTML of your pages and it tells the search engines what your pages are about.
Here is a sample of code that should be at the top of your HTML code on every page right after the opening tag and before your tag…
Remember, this code needs to go in the HTML of every page. So if you’re using an editor that does not allow you to edit the actual HTML code directly, you should switch immediately to a program like CoffeeCup or Dreamweaver.
Not only does this information help the search engines rank your pages and provide information about your site, but it also tells Google what your page is about to help serve the most relevant ads for AdSense . And the more relevant your ads are, the greater the chance someone will click on them.
Your content should also be focused. Each page should have one main topic that is related to the overall theme of your site. If you talk about several different things on one page, Google will have a difficult time determining what the page is about so your ads may not be as relevant to the content.
And the more relevant the ads are to your content, the better the chance people will click on them and earn you more money.
So keep your content focused!

Signing Up With AdSense
Once you’ve created your site and you have at least 10 pages, you’re ready to apply for AdSense. Lately Google has been approving sites quickly, so it shouldn’t take long to hear back once you apply.
Here are some last minute things to check for before you apply…
1) Make sure your site has a clear theme/topic. Remember you are partnering with Google to help them advertise and they are looking for sites that have a defined theme. Plus, the more focused your topic is, the more targeted the ads will be, thus increasing your click-thru ratio.
Don’t submit a junky site with everything from horoscopes to online games. If your site looks too busy with no clear focus, you could be rejected.
2) Check your spelling and test your links. Since you are going to be partners with Google and hosting their ads, they are not going to want to team up with a sloppy site that has obvious typos and broken links.
3) Do not put up any “Under Construction” messages on your site. Google’s TOS (terms of service) state they do not accept sites that appear to be under construction. Your site should look complete even if you still have more content to add later.
Now you’re all set! Head on over to http://adsense.google.com to apply.

Site Build It! - Another Web Site Building Option
Site Build It! (SBI!) is an all-in-one suite of tools that helps you build a Web site, but more importantly, is the kind of solution that is almost tailor-made for AdSense.
Why?
Because people who make good money with AdSense understand the importance of driving targeted traffic and how to market their sites. Site Build It! is the only host I know that actually coaches you on all these aspects AND provides the tools and software to build your site.
If you choose SBI!, you don’t need to buy any of the software I mentioned earlier like Dreamweaver or CoffeeCup. Everything you need to build your site is included with the package at$299/year. That also includes the domain name (yoursite.com).
I actually used SBI! to build my site www.flat-stomach-exercises.com and by the 3 rd month I began making decent money with AdSense. To this day, AdSense remains the primary source of income for this site.
Another important component of SBI! that you are not going to get with any other Web host is the brainstorming tool. It’s a built-in tool that literally helps you research topics so you get an idea of which topics are in demand and would make a good candidate for your site.
Say for example, you’ve narrowed your site ideas down to 3 choices: managing stress, healthy eating and horse breeding.
Well after using the brainstorming tool, SBI! tells you that out of the three topics, “horse breeding” has the highest profitability index. What that means is that there are fewer sites on this topic but pretty good demand (searches done in Google, etc.) than the other two topics. In other words, you’ll have an easier time getting this topic ranked high in Google.
This is such an invaluable tool, and as I said, you will not get this kind of help with a $3/month Web host. You’re on your own doing the research and they do not help you build and market your site like SBI! does.
To learn more about why Site Build It! is tailor-made for AdSense, go to SiteSell’s Web site to learn more about how it works.
If you can afford it, I’d highly recommend you choose this option instead of the do-it-yourself method.
I’ve actually made money with AdSense using both Web site creation methods. But the reason I recommend Site Build It! is that most beginners are overwhelmed with all they have to learn about building and marketing their sites.
It’s nice to have a solution like Site Build It! that provides all the tools you need right from your Web browser, in one convenient location.
Below is a screenshot of the home page of SBI!’s Site Central. This is the actual page I see when I want to go and update my site, www.flat-stomach-exercises.com .
Once you login, you’ll have access to edit/create your pages, view your traffic stats, quickly change the complete design of your site in minutes, manage your images, add a “contact me” form, get help for marketing your site etc.

To update your site all you need is a Web browser - no software needed. As you can see in the screenshot above, the button titled “Look and Feel Selector” is where you go to select your site’s design, colors, customize your logo, etc. It’s super easy to use!
As I said, it is not necessary to use Site Build It! to make money with AdSense, BUT people who use it generally have a higher success rate because they are taught the proper ways to build a site that is found in the major search engines.
Never underestimate the challenges of getting enough traffic to your site. SBI! will help you with that.
When you’re a beginner, there is nothing better than having a step-by-step tutorial to tell you what to do next. SBI! comes with a 10-day Action Guide (in text and video) that guides you along the site building process.
See some sample SBI! sites here .
Below is a screenshot of an online bulletin board created by SiteSell, equipped with pictures of many successful SBI! owners. You can read more about these individual stories here

How to Create Your Web Site?
If you do decide to create your own Web site on your own domain (yoursite.com ), here is some advice on how to get started.
1) Decide on your topic. As I mentioned before, topic is everything. Don’t worry about what can make you the most money. Remember, almost any topic can make a lot of
money if you learn how to drive traffic to your site. And you MUST learn to do this if you want to make money with AdSense.
Choose something you are passionate about and wouldn’t mind writing pages and pages of content on. It can be anything from dating advice, knitting tips, how to fish, to
weight loss help, acne help, gardening tips, you name it!
2)Learn the basics of building a Web page . You can do this by buying a software program like CoffeeCup or Dreamweaver . I highly , highly recommend investing in one of these programs. It’s much easier to learn Web page building through a program than on your own.
You may be thinking that you just want to hire someone to quickly build a site for you, but if you decide to do this understand you still need to learn the basics of updating and managing the site yourself.
So make sure your Webmaster sits down with you and explains how to make updates going forward.
You don’t want to be dependent upon someone else to update your site. You need to have the freedom to make changes whenever you want.
Remember, this is a BUSINESS and you need to be in complete control of your Web site at all times.
3)Get your domain name . You can register a domain name (yoursite.com) at WebsitePalace.com . The great thing about this site is that they provide free design templates for you to use for your site.
So if you buy CoffeeCup or Dreamweaver, you can open these templates in the software and you’ll have a head start on the design part. Creating your site will be so much easier this way instead of starting from scratch.
4)You need a Web host . This is the company that provides you with the space to publish your Web site to the Web. So once you’ve created your site, your host allows you to save those files to the Internet.
WebsitePalace.com has some very economical hosting plans starting at $3.99 per month. You won’t find hosting much cheaper than this.
Or you can also go with Powweb Hosting . They offer more space for your money, but to be honest the plans at WebsitePalace.com will be enough for most people.
The great thing about both of these Web hosts is that if you do buy Dreamweaver or CoffeeCup , you’ll be able to save your files right to the Web using the software in conjunction with your Web host. Both companies will provide instructions for doing this. It’s very simple.

You may be thinking that you just want to hire someone to quickly build a site for you, but if you decide to do this understand you still need to learn the basics of updating and managing the site yourself.
So make sure your Webmaster sits down with you and explains how to make updates going forward.
You don’t want to be dependent upon someone else to update your site. You need to have the freedom to make changes whenever you want.
Remember, this is a BUSINESS and you need to be in complete control of your Web site at all times.
3)Get your domain name . You can register a domain name (yoursite.com) at WebsitePalace.com . The great thing about this site is that they provide free design templates for you to use for your site.
So if you buy CoffeeCup or Dreamweaver, you can open these templates in the software and you’ll have a head start on the design part. Creating your site will be so much easier this way instead of starting from scratch.
4)You need a Web host . This is the company that provides you with the space to publish your Web site to the Web. So once you’ve created your site, your host allows you to save those files to the Internet.
WebsitePalace.com has some very economical hosting plans starting at $3.99 per month. You won’t find hosting much cheaper than this.
Or you can also go with Powweb Hosting . They offer more space for your money, but to be honest the plans at WebsitePalace.com will be enough for most people.
The great thing about both of these Web hosts is that if you do buy Dreamweaver or CoffeeCup , you’ll be able to save your files right to the Web using the software in conjunction with your Web host. Both companies will provide instructions for doing this. It’s very simple.
