Is it still possible to profit from AdSense?
Building up a successful web destination is no small feat.If you’ve achieved it in the past, it doesn’t mean you’ll pull it off as easily in the future. It just means that you know one successful way to “get there”, among many others — which is better than nothing.
But hordes of newbies, from all over the world, are taking the web by storm and firing up new forums, blogs, wikis and sites with diverse offerings which they deem worthy of carrying the wildly popular Google AdSense revenue-generating pay-per-click advertising service.
Some publishers expect very little revenue (while dreaming of a break in the big leagues, at one point or another) and others, usually more experienced publishers, are aiming at nothing less than being able to live solely off these Google-spun revenues.
Is it still possible to get to that point where you can basically quit your day job and blog on all sorts of themes that you care about (for real)? Perhaps it is… but don’t get your hopes too high.
You see, Google AdSense is merely an aggregator of ads which are bought (and paid for) by advertisers of all sizes.
As such, some fields like the insurances, debt reduction and medical care in the US might yield a lot more money than, say, poverty reduction in Mozambique. The later theme is a crucial one, there’s no question about it —but— are there any advertisers looking to pay big bucks to associate with that particular content? Your road to riches, using AdSense, has to start with a theme you happen to like (otherwise, it’ll just make you unhappy) but it should also be a magnet of sorts, for rich advertisers.
You need to choose the right theme and if it’s possible, aim the content at a rich geographic location meaning that blogging about skiing in Argentina will likely score less money in your pockets than if you focus on Aspen, CO.
But that’s not all…
If you’re to emerge as a credible source of information for your visitors —and— the mighty search engines, you’ll need to find a way to stay on top of your competition. One way to do this is to post unique content people are looking for and then, once you master that art of “answering all the right questions”, you need to do it as often (and as regularly) as possible.
You see, lots of marketers are selling the dream of “passive revenues” related to the Web 2.0 and 3.0 publishers but the truth of the matter is, to be successful for a long time, a publisher has to sweat. A lot, actually. Getting a web site right doesn’t usually happen the first time around. It takes a serious toll in time, effort and sometimes, money.
The good news is that lots of other publishers will turn their attention to other things, along the way so that’ll be that much less competition for you, assuming you go the distance.
But again with the main question, is it possible to profit from AdSense?
Depending on the type of content you publish and how it’s delivered to your visitors, AdSense could prove to be a solid (and surprisingly stable) source of recurring revenue but don’t expect —even for one moment— that it’ll be as easy as what the marketers would have you believe.
As a general rule of thumb, if you’re successful offline, you may also have what it takes to make it big online too but hey, you’ll have to give it a try to learn from experience how you fare in the face of infinite competition in an always-on world.
The AdSense revenue generation lifestyle isn’t for everybody and especially not for the faint at heart but if you really intend to work up your place as a “useful and popular web destination”, the payoff is very real if (and when) you get there.

2. Remove the Adsense from the bottom pages of your site and put them at the top. Do not try to hide your Adsense. Put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between Adsense locations can make when you see your earnings.
3. Create a custom palette for your ads. Choose a color that will go well with the background of your site. If your site has a white background, try to use white as the color of your ad border and background. The idea to patterning the colors is to make the Adsense look like it is part of the web pages. Again, This will result to more clicks from people visiting your site.
4. Maintain links to relevant websites. If you think some sites are better off than the others, put your ads there and try to maintaining and managing them. If there is already lots of Adsense put into that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way visitor will see your ads first upon browsing into that site.
5. Try to automate the insertion of your Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your Adsense code in a text file, save it as “adsense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.
These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. It is important to know though that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. So focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already.
Note also that there are many other Adsense sharing the same topic as you. It is best to think of making a good ad that will be somewhat different and unique than the ones already done. Every clickthrough that visitors make is a point for you so make every click count by making your Adsense something that people will definitely click on.

132 994 $ de revenus Adsense en 1 mois
Le blogueur et webmaster Jeremy Schoemaker alias “Shoemoney” a donné quelques précisions sur son blog à propos de la fameuse photo où on le voit tenir un chèque de 132 994.97 dollars de Google Adsense.
Le chèque en question est bien réel même si on a du mal à le croire (cliquez pour agrandir) :
Il s’agit du mois d’août 2005 où l’on peut voir le détail de son compte Google (il a obtenu une autorisation spéciale de Google pour pouvoir divulguer le CTR et le eCPM) : (cliquez pour agrandir)
- les revenus Adsense ont été générés sur son site Nextpimp.com dont la thématique du début était les wallpapers et maintenant les sonneries gratuites pour téléphones mobiles.
- le contenu est produit à 100% par les utilisateurs du site (493 000 membres) (user generated content)
- ses dépenses à l’époque étaient de 299$ par mois pour un serveur dédié, donc 130 000 $ de bénéfices
- le trafic de son site ne provenait pas des liens sponsorisés en PPC (pay per click) : 70% était en accès direct, 15% des moteurs de recherche et 15% de sites référents.
- Trafic : 75 000 visiteurs uniques par jour
- à la question penses-tu que l’on peut gagner autant d’argent encore aujourd’hui? (la question qui lui a été posée le plus souvent par email) Jeremy répond: OUI.
- Shoemoney n’a jamais essayé de tirer quelconque revenu pendant les deux premières années d’existence de son site. (tiens un enseignement à retirer ici?)
Impressionnant, n’est-ce pas ? Voir une belle image comme celle-ci ca revitalise… même si dans le monde entier des “Shoemoney” ca ne doit pas courir les rues…
Et ce n’est pas tout : Shoemoney affirme que les revenus qu’il retire de Google Adsense ne représentent que 5% de la totalité des revenus de ses sociétés internet.
En octobre son blog lui a rapporté 30 000 $ en ventes directes de publicité (logos, bannières).
En mars 2007 il a gagné 709 626.81 $ en tant qu’affilié de Commission Junction.
Pour revenir à son chèque Adsense, en regardant dans les commentaires de son billet, Shoemoney écrit:
“J’ai un bon ami à moi qui faisait 2 millions par mois.. ce qui veut dire à peu près 65 000 $ par jour donc 100 000$ en quelques jours c’est très possible”
Le gars en question qui gagne ces montants astronomiques avec Adsense est à coup sûr Marcus dePlentyoffish.com (le site attire 2 millions de visiteurs par jour!)
Et que dire de Ashley Qualls une ado de 17 ans qui gagne 70 000 $ par mois avec adsense !
La jeune fille réalise des skins gratuits pour Myspace sur son site Whateverlife.com
Elle a refusé une offre de rachat de 1.5 millions pour son site. Et jusqu’à maintenant elle a déjà gagné plus de 1 million de dollars. Son site attire 230 000 visiteurs uniques par jour.
Je vous laisse là-dessus, et n’oubliez pas d’afficher le chèque de Shoemoney au-dessus de votre lit en guise de porte bonheur.
Comment mettre à profit de Google AdSense
Comment mettre à profit de Google AdSense
Dans le livre de Brad Callen « Google AdWords Made Easy » le premier chapitre commence ainsi: «Etes vous prêt à partir Bénéfice du trafic Web Instantanée? » Il ya beaucoup écrit sur AdSense et PPC, à la fois des avantages et des inconvénients. Toutefois, si vous voulez la circulation instantanée je suggère que PPC (pay-per-click) est la méthode la plus rapide. Cependant, il peut être un champ de mines si vous n’avez pas l’approche PPC sans fondement approprié, les informations et les connaissances au sujet de Google AdSense.
La pierre angulaire de toute activité en ligne est le trafic du site. Nous voulons tous et il veut maintenant! Les moteurs de recherche sont un bon moyen d’apporter du trafic gratuit à votre site Web le problème avec cette méthode est qu’il faut du temps pour bien classés dans Google et autres moteurs de recherche. Un système pour amener du trafic instantané, cependant, est – pay-per-click publicité (CPP). Comme le déclare Brad dans son livre, « Les mauvaises nouvelles sont que 95 pour cent des annonceurs PPC finissent par jeter plusieurs centaines de dollars dans le trou avant même qu’ils commencent à comprendre comment pay-per-click fonctionne. De plus, il ya plusieurs propriétaires d’entreprises qui , après avoir été brûlé à hauteur de plusieurs milliers de dollars, renoncer à la publicité PPC parce qu’ils ne reçoivent pas comment il fonctionne. » Il vous prendra seulement 10 minutes pour vous mettre en place une campagne de publicité dans Google AdWords. Immédiatement après votre annonce est prêt, il va commencer apportant du trafic vers vos sites Web. Peu importe ce que vous vendez, vous avez une chance, en 10 minutes, pour commencer à gagner des ventes.
Les Mots Inevitable
C’est un point important de toujours se rappeler: Votre site n’est pas pour vous, il s’agit de votre public en visite. Ce n’est pas grave ce que les mots que vous pensez qu’ils vont utiliser pour trouver votre site. Les seuls mots qui comptent sont les mots réels que les types de visiteurs Internet dans la boîte de recherche des moteurs de recherche quand il / elle est à la recherche d’un site comme le vôtre. Sans avoir les bons mots clés (mots-clés sont les mots que les gens sont en tapant dans les moteurs de recherche) dans votre contenu de site Web et la publicité comme les annonces PPC, alors vous êtes hors du jeu et vos concurrents vont obtenir leur chance à l’argent.
Le succès des campagnes PPC sont fondées sur trois choses:
1. Recherche de mots clés ciblés
2. Annonces percutantes
3. Pages de destination efficaces
Cette recherche n’est pas aussi difficile que cela puisse paraître. Il est vraiment réduite à deux étapes:
1. Trouver un sujet rentable
2. En utilisant des bases de données de mots clés et moteurs de PPC afin de créer une liste de mots autour de ce sujet
Ce n’est pas l’intention de cet article pour expliquer les détails de la façon de créer des annonces PPC. Au contraire, pour vous donner des informations comment faire mieux et plus des décisions judicieuses sur lesquels concentrer vos efforts pour une campagne rentable AdSense. Ne pas avoir peur de recherche par mot clé ou vous pensez qu’elle est trop difficile ou que c’est un gaspillage de votre temps. Bien au contraire, il est essentiel. Ne faites jamais l’un des exercices suivants sans lever les yeux de quel type de mots-clés que les gens recherchent:
1. Donnez un nom de domaine
2. Ecrire un titre pour un article de blog
3. Ecrire une balise de titre
4. Ecrire une balise meta description
5. Ecrire un titre pour un article
6. Déterminer une demande pour un produit ou service
7. Écriture d’une campagne publicitaire
Toujours utiliser des données de la recherche mot-clé pour déterminer quels mots clés à utiliser. Lorsque vous ne vous pouvez vous attendre plus de visiteurs à votre site Web. Plus important encore, en consultant votre annonce ciblée vous pré-vendre votre visiteur mieux avant qu’ils arrivent à votre site Web. Le principe est très simple ici. Sans mots-clés rentables, vous n’allez pas faire de l’argent, peu importe comment bien écrit votre annonce.

Google Adsense for Acupuncturists How to Earn a Passive Income with Google Adsense

for Acupuncturists
How to Earn a Passive Income
with Google Adsense
I was shocked when I first learned how advertisements worked on websites. This system is truly a WIN-WIN-WIN for the three "players" involved, and in my experience, Google Adsense for acupuncturists is one of the easiest ways to generate some extra passive income. All you need is your Acupuncture Clinic Website and a free account with Google Adsense.
But before I get into the logistics of how to set up your Google Adsense account, let me explain how the entire system works and how you earn money from Google.
How Everyone "Wins" with Google Adsense
Advertisers pay Google to find relevant websites for them to place their ads on. For instance, lets say advertisers like Quickbooks or Palo Alto Software, Inc., want to advertise their Special Business Plan Templates. They ask Google to find a website where people are likely to be interested. These advertisers don't want their ads on cooking sites or some place where the visitors are not going to be interested in their products. It is Google's job to find the right web pages to place their ads. Since I have a section in my website about writing an Acupuncture Business Plan, Google "sees" this 3-way match:
- My relevant information
- The advertiser's product
- The customer's needs
And Google places the ads on my very relevant page about Acupuncture Business Plans (see below).
The Advertiser is happy because people who are already learning about business plans are on that page and therefore more likely to click on their Special Business Plan Templates. Google is happy because they are getting paid by the happy advertisers. The Customer is happy because there is relevant information and good quality products to choose from.
I am happy because my customer is happy, and therefore more likely to return, and I have added value to my website by providing more information and resources to choose from. And I am even happier because Google then pays me a "commission" of sorts every time a customer looks at an advertiser's site.
That's right. All the customer or visitor has to do is LOOK by clicking on a particular advertisement. Unlike with earning income through Affiliate programs (explained in my next "Passive Income for Acupuncturists"installment) where the visitor must purchase the advertiser's products or services through a particular affiliate link, with Google Adsense you get paid when the visitor clicks on the advertisement, regardless of whether they buy anything.
As the website owner who provided the quality content and therefore the "pathway" for the customer to find and look at the advertisement, I get rewarded for my work by getting paid. Everybody WINS!!
These are my earnings with Google Adsense after 1 year, but you can make MUCH MUCH more than that. I have only a few pages with ads on them and I have not worked diligently to optimize them. Nonetheless, it is still over $100 in my pocket that I would not otherwise have. All for doing relatively little.
In truth, the only "downside" to Google Adsense is that sometimes the ads can clutter up the pages so it makes it more difficult to read the information that you worked so hard to provide. But Google has a great program and resources to help you optimize the number of ads per page and structure them in such a way that brings you the most success.
Google Adsense for Acupuncturists:
Set Up Your Google Account for Free
Google has a great Adsense Support section that will answer all your questions and guide you through setting up your free Google Adsense account.
Before you go forward however, I suggest that you read through Google's detailed Help section to make sure that putting Google Ads on your website is right for you. Make sure you understand the rules of ad placement and valid clicks (see below).
Once you are sure Google Adsense is right for you, go towww.google.com/adsense and select "Sign Up Now" to start the very simple process of opening your free Google Adsense account. There are several tutorials in both written and video format to take you through the process of how to create ad units, change the colors and sizes, and how to generate the "code" to place the ads on your website.
Be aware that you must have A LOT of traffic to your website in order to really generate a substantial income form Google Adsense. So if you do not have a well optimized website with good keywords that brings in new and return visitors everyday, then you are not a good candidate for earning a significant passive income through Google Adsense. The best thing you can do for yourself is optimize your acupuncture website so it brings in lots of traffic. Over time you will build momentum and the Google Ads will work for you.
Play by the Rules or Pay!
Google has some strict rules that you must follow or you will be "kicked out" of the Google Adsense program.
One of the most important rules is that you may not click on ads on your own website! Google can track this and ONE CLICK can get you banned from Google. Also, soliciting others like family and friends to click on the ads on your website is the equivalent of stealing and should NEVER, EVER be done. You are guaranteed to get banned from Google for life if you attempt to solicit false clicks.
Another rule is that you may not show or even discuss your Google earnings with regard to click-through rate of particular advertisements. If you ever see a "screenshot" of someone's Google earnings, you will always see some of the information blurred out because it is against Google's rules to show certain data. (See above screenshot of my account.)
One newer rule is that every website that has Google Adsense must have a "Privacy Policy" which explains stuff like "cookies" and how a visitor's information is tracked. The privacy policy I have on Insights-For-Acupuncturists.com is a generic one and covers all the bases. Feel free to copy mine, just exchange my website's name for yours.
If it all sounds complicated, don't worry it really is very simple, and Google goes out of their way to make sure you understand. Google wants you to succeed so they have more websites to place advertiser's information on.
One last note: You are not limited to Google Adsense for your website. Yahoo, Kontera, and many others also have good advertising programs, so go ahead and look into them. You cannot put ads from different companies on the same webpage though, so be certain to read the rules and policies of any program that you join.
