Google as a way to profit online? Absolutely true! I'm sure by now the majority of those on the internet have at least heard of Google AdSense, almost as sure as I am that anyone with a website has tried using AdSense at one point or another to earn revenue. AdSense is a very easy to use tool provided by Google that works in conjunction with Google AdWords to provide relevant ads on your website.
The way this works is pretty simple. A business pays for advertising on Google, then places ads to be shown in Google's search results and on other websites. In turn, Google then places these ads according to their relevancy, into their search results and on websites that have partnered with Google through AdSense. Since most of Google advertising is done on a Pay-Per-Click(PPC) basis, Google gets paid each time someone clicks on an add. Websites owners that have partnered with Google through AdSense also receive a portion of Google's profit each time someone clicks an ad displayed on their website. These transactions can range anywhere from a few cents to a few dollars depending upon how much a company is paying for advertising.
There are several "packages" or "systems" out there that promise to show you how to make thousands of dollars a month or per week even, just by using Google AdSense. I'm going to go ahead and break this down for you...even if you did make thousands of dollars a week (highly unlikely) using only Google AdSense, Google only sends out checks or direct deposits once per month. Thousands per month? This is actually a possibility if you have an extremely popular website. To give a reality check to these "packages" and "systems," seriously take a moment and do the math. Just say that you have a blog that attracts 100 visitors per day, and your average profit per click is $0.20. If 100 percent of those 100 visitors each click an ad, your profits would average around $20 per day. This averages out to be around $600 per month. Still not too bad, but a far cry from thousands per week.
You don't need some 20 to 50 dollar package to tell you how to do this...its really simple, and you wont get much more than this out of any of the packages for sale out there. Go to https://www.google.com/adsense/login/en_US/ and click on "Sign Up Now." Follow the instructions, sign up for the account, wait for approval from Google. Once your AdSense account is approved, follow the instructions after logging in to get started. Answer a few questions from Google, tell them how you want ads to be displayed on your page, submit, and copy your HTML code provided by Google AdSense. Paste the code into your website. Ads will appear on your site, people click on the ads, you get paid. Its as simple as that.
Keep in mind that this is just a very brief overview of the "how-to," but if you have questions or need to find information about performance and optimization of the ads, refer to Google's AdSense help forums and the training material provided by Google. DO NOT waste your time and hard-earned money with any of the so-called proven "systems" as you will find that all the information, training, and advice is free and available to the public.
