to monetize a blog and one of them is using Google Adsense. Before we go to the
nitty-gritty of Adsense, let’s take a look at some facts about it.

Adsense facts:
- Adsense was released in 2003 by Google

When an ad is being clicked, then
you get your money. But maybe not as simple as that, because there are many
factors to make Adsense as a good income source.
HOW MUCH MONEY
WE CAN MAKE FROM ADSENSE
Adsense is not get rich quick
scheme. It may take months even years to make this program really works. You
have to be patient and plan your way up carefully by considering every possible
path to create a passive income of your blog.
Traffic is absolutely the main theme
in creating a great revenue from Adsense. That means, you must put a lot of
efforts to make your site on the first page of Google. Contents, on and off
page SEO are the essential parts. And especially content, you need to make it
as a “killer” content, so your readers believe you as an authority.
By creating a great content, your
visitors will visit your blog again and again, and that will increase your income.
As you probably know, there are two ways of making money in Adsense. Clicks and
impressions. The more traffic you have and the longer they stay on your blog
will definitely boost your revenue.
And also the selection of keywords
that have a lot of searches in Google. It will be useless if you rank #1 in
SERP, but nobody is looking for the keywords. But again, keywords with a lot of
searches will also have a tight competition.
HOW IMPORTANT
IS KEYWORD RESEARCH?
Keyword research is the most crucial
part of SEO. If you choose a super competitive keyword, then probably you
should give up to make money off Adsense. Because your blog has to fight with
authority sites and it would take years to outrank them. Or it could be
impossible to beat them.
So, choose your keywords wisely,
with good searches per month and less
competition. After choosing the right keywords, then creating a depth content
is a must. Let’s say our competition has a 1000-word article, in that case, you
must create a 2000-word article. Skycrapper technique as mentioned by Brian
Dean (Backlinko) is always the best recipe to rank in Google.
THE RULE OF AD
PLACEMENT
You may think that you can place
your ads anywhere on your site. But the fact is, there are certain rules you
need to know about the placement of the ads, so you can maximize your Adsense
income.
- Don’t make your page crowded by ads. It will make your visitors run away and never come back and you don’t want that to happen.
- Giving values to your readers is the best way to make sure your revenue. The question is, are your ads helping your visitors to solve their problem? It’s not just about monetization, but it also how to make people comfortable and help them out with a good solution.
- Place your ads so your readers will find it easily. Don’t let them busy trying to find the ads, by scrolling down or up. Put the ads in a wider place in order to make them see it wholly.
I MAKE A LOT OF
MONEY FROM ADSENSE
Is it possible to make a huge amount
of cash from Adsense? The answer depends. If you put your efforts relentlessly
and working strategically, then you have a chance to have your site as your
passive income source. But if you don’t have a great determination, then
probably you should have to find another way.
A lot of parts to combine and make a
thorough test are absolutely necessary to find the best strategy to maximize
the profit. However, this is a learning process and we should encourage
ourselves to enjoy it.
DO’S AND DON’TS
- Don’t click your own ads. Don’t even think about it. Big G seems to know about everything. If you click your ads and Google knows it, you may be getting banned. And that’s the last thing you want.
- Don’t persuade your friends or families to click your ads either. As always, Google may find out and you’re getting banned. It’s not worth the effort.
- Do check your clicks stat. If usually you have 5 clicks a day and suddenly you have 100, then something is not right. Someone might try to make you banned. If it happens, contact Adsense by e-mail, tell them that you are the victim.
- Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. This is clearly one good advice to apply because you don’t know whether Google makes an update and your site is penalized. Make another way of monetization is certainly the best method to secure your revenue.
CONCLUSION: HOW
TO MAKE MONEY FROM GOOGLE ADSENSE
Obviously, Adsense is a good way to
make a living. But you must utilize a proper strategy to earn a substantial
income. Several aspects need to be applied so that your site becomes a money
machine. Making your site as an authority is surely the best option. And once
again, you have to work hard and smart.
