Google Adsense Faqs & Facts

Google AdSense is a advertising platform for publishers. If you own any kind of website ( blog or an independent website) you can join Adsense for Free. If your site is approved, They will start showing Ads on your site (remember those 'Ads by Google' things you see all over the Internet).

There are two ways in which Adsense can display ads

1. When you search for Something on Google.com and along withe the results, the page displays Ads on the right hand side and often on the top of the results
2. Ads are shown on websites who have signed up with Google Adsense. Below is an example of Ads being shown on a website.




Whenever a visitor clicks on the ads , the site owner (who signed up for Adsense) makes some money. Google has another program called Adwords where people who want to sell their products signup so that their ads get displayed on Google network.

Imagine Mr. X who wants to sell his toy. and Mr Y who has a website about Toys. Both have signed up with Google. X has signed up with Adwords and Y with Adsense. Google charges X Rs 5 whenever someone clicks on ads about toys and gives a Rs 3 to Y, keeping Rs 2 for itself. Ofcourse these figures could be different, as this is just to simplify things.


Adsense Signup - Its a fairly simple process , requiring you to fill up a form with your Full Name, Website Address, your physical address etc. Try to be as honest as possible because your primary goal is to get approved. You dont have to worry about your website for the moment, even if you have just one post, you will get approved. Dont start a website dealing in pornography or Illegal stuff because these kind of sites are often rejected.

It usually takes about three days to get approved. Once approved you are free to add the adsense codes to as many sites as you want.You dont require an approval for every site of yours.

Ad Formats - Once approved you have to decide which formats you want to use on your site. You can have three ad units and one text link unit for one page. Not more. Although people find different results, according to me


# 300*250 small rectangle works like magic
# Never use Image ads, Text ads are the real money makers.
# Place one 300*250 above your post and one just before the comment section.
# Link unit can be used below the text ads.


How much money can you make from AdSense. - As much as you can. there is no limit. while 90% of Adsense users make below 1 $ a day, there are people who make significant amount from it.

Plentyoffish.com owner Markus Frind Makes around $ 4 million a year from Adsense

Shoemoney
.com owner Jeremy Shoemaker made $ 132,995 in a single month

AmitBhawani.com claims to have exceeded $60,000 in Adsense earnings in 2009.

There are thousands of other bloggers making $million+ every year from Adsense but they havent disclosed their income. So the opportunity is there and everybody is invited to TRY. So ARE YOU GAME ?
