For some time now I have been aggressively marketing
my Geocities website without the prospect of any financial return.
The site is content based so I did not expect to generate any
product sales and neither was I able to lure potential sponsors.
But that has quietly changed. Google has decided
to reward webmasters with quality free websites the chance to
rake in some cash for their hard work.
Google’s contextual advertising program
Adsense has been around since June 2003. Back then the program
was open only to webmasters with their own domain names and many
quickly took up the opportunity to cash in on their labor of love
sites.
When the Big G announced that they were expanding
Adsense to accommodate free sites, some people scoffed at the
idea because they believe that freebie sites are full of junk.
I first learnt of this move while browsing around
a few webmaster forums and to my surprise some persons were against
this move by Google. I believe that Google’s intention is
to bring in as much as possible quality websites under the Adsense
umbrella.
My first application for Adsense was rejected
and I got an explanation stating that my site was still under
construction. I thought that this was a mistake so I reapplied
the same day and got accepted. Right away I was able to log in
to my account and start putting the code for the ads on my pages.
The control panel is easy to understand and Google
provides stats and figures in order for you to track your performance.
You can also add Adsense for search where visitors can search
the web or your site and you get compensated everytime someone
clicks on the ads displayed.
Developing content sites is key to success in
Adsense. Why? Because Google’s technology uses the content
of each page to guess which ads are most suitable. The higher
the quality of the content, the higher quality and paying ads
you will attract.
Please note that getting accepted into Adsense
does not guarantee that you will receive a check from them. Your
success depends on many factors.
Some of them include the number of visitors, the
placement of the ads, the value of the keywords on the page where
the ads are shown and how many persons who will clickthru on the
Adsense ad panel.
For those with unscrupulous minds, Google has
ways and means to find out where each ad click is originating
from. Therefore no click spamming.
Adsense is a win-win situation for all the players
involved. It benefits the visitors with additional information,
the search engines because of higher quality websites and you
with a check every month.
It makes perfect sense to make dollars with Adsense.
With this source of revenue, you can upgraded your website and
take it to it’s full potential.
