It's no great secret!
No great secret that is, unless you haven't discovered
what many seasoned webmasters and just plain ordinary
folks have found out.
"There's gold in them there blogs!"
Yours for the mining, or we should say writing.
Many people have discovered and are benefiting from
the connection between blogs and Google Adsense.
A lucrative connection that's earning them extra
money each month as they receive their checks from
Google. It's putting a big smiiiiiiile on
their faces.
What's even more amazing, all this can be set up
at zero-cost to anyone who can use a cursor. It's
a totally free system that can earn you money each
and every month.
What gives? What's the connection?
Actually, there is no big secret, anyone can
set up a blog or blogs and put Google's Adsense
code on them. If you're new to the Internet or not
a webmaster -- these things may have to be explained
further.
Blogs are online journals where anyone can write
on any subject or topic that interests them. Blogs
are extremely popular with Internet users, with
an estimated 60 million or more blogs on the web.
Any and every topic (news, hobbies, sports, etc.)
is covered in these blogs.
Creating a blog couldn't be easier, there are many
online blogging sites that will let you set up a
blog of your own for free. The two main biggies
are bloglines.com (owned by Ask Jeeves) and
blogger.com (owned by Google). It only takes minutes
to create your own blog.
Or many webmasters who don't want to go the 'free
route' can use a system from wordpress.com and
place or host the blogs on their own sites. It will
give you a lot more options. Regardless which method
you use, once you have your blog up and running, you
will need to get a Google Adsense account here:
https://www.google.com/adsense/
Google Adsense is an advertising system where you
as the publisher places the Adsense code on your site.
Google then uses this code to send targeted 'keyword
guided' ads to be displayed on your site. If someone
clicks on your Google ad, you earn a portion of the
ad revenue. These ads come in many formats and sizes.
Chances are you have already seen these 'Ads by Google'
on many sites that you have visited, you may have even
clicked on one or two!
Advertisers wanting visitors or customers to their sites,
buy these ads using the Google Adword system. Commonly known
as Pay-Per-Click advertising. This system is based on
keywords, these are the words people use to search for
things on the Internet. Because they are 'keyword based'
-- these ads match perfectly with the content on your
site or blog - delivering well targeted visitors to the
advertisers.
Google's Adsense program is very user friendly. Google
lets you customize your ads to match the 'look and feel'
of your site. Google also gives you some good advice on
'where' to place these ads on your site to increase your
click-thru rate. It would be a good idea to read this
section before you place the Adsense Code on your site
or blog.
Google also lets you track your adsense code on 200
different urls (channels) so you can see which web pages
or blogs are earning you money. As part of Google's 'TOS'
Terms of Service, individual publishers (that's you!) are
not allowed to discuss any Adsense earnings they get from
Google. So mums the word.
However, one of the 'keys' to making ad revenue from
your Google Adsense account has to do with 'keywords'.
Obviously, some keywords are worth more than others,
that is - certain keywords or phrases that people type into
search engines will pay more. For example, which one do
you think will bring in more revenue to your Adsense
program -- someone searching for a home loan or someone
searching for a baseball cap.
Many webmasters or bloggers use sites like www.overture.com
to see what advertisers are paying for certain keywords.
Just as important, it will also give you the number of
searches made by surfers for your chosen keywords
or phrases last month.
The real trick is to set up a blog or blogs on popular
(heavy traffic) topics or keywords that pay the most money
to publishers like you. Also, it's best to create a blog or
blogs on topics that will keep your interest for years to
come. You do have to write interesting stories, facts,
information on your topic in order to bring visitors and
traffic to your blogs... so pick something that you're very
passionate about.
Submit your blogs to all the blog directories, here's a
good place to start:www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/
Once you have a regular flow of traffic to your blogs,
you will see a regular flow of adsense income coming to
you each month. The more traffic or page impressions you
get, the more you could possibly earn.
Blogs use RSS to syndicate their content. RSS stands for
Really Simple Syndication, the standard format for syndication
of content from online blogs, news sites, forums and other
web sites. Google has introduced a system where you can
place your Adsense Code into your RSS Feeds. You have to
apply separately to get into this program -- it's only
in Beta yet. But the potential for RSS Adsense could be
very beneficial to bloggers, imagine getting your Adsense
code syndicated to thousands upon thousands of
subscribers or web sites.
Google has also gone so far as applying for a patent on
RSS ads. This patent could give Google control of RSS
advertising. The application was filed by Google employee
Nelson Minar and is currently under review by the U.S.
Trade and Patent Office.
Regardless of whether or not Google is successful in this
application; the potential of RSS Adsense is great and may
have far reaching implications in the very near future. This
could also prove to be a very lucrative system for both Google
and the ordinary webmaster or blogger.
A very lucrative connection indeed. Everyone is profiting from Google, find out how you can too! Click here: Google Cash File
