Earning With Adsense - Is It Possible?

Google Adsense ads are all over the internet - so someone must be earning money with them, right? If you have ever published ads on your website, only to find that after a month you have earned only $3.50, you may wonder if earning with Adsense is really possible. In this article you will learn the truth behind Adsense as well as what you can do to maximize your earnings.

Ask any experienced online marketer and they will tell you that earning with Adsense can be a slow but successful process. Some people will tell you that you can easily make thousands of dollars with Google Adsense - but they're probably trying to sell you something. In the experience of most marketers, a complete full time level income from Google Adsense is usually not possible. So, is using this service even really worth it?

The real answer is - yes, Google Adsense can be a good way to bring in an EXTRA income if it's used properly. The only way that you would be able to make a full time income with Adsense would be if you had a website that received millions of hits each month. While this is very possible, it is rare. The number of websites out there that can earn thousands of dollars each month with Google Adsense is relatively small compared to the number of webmasters that are trying to earn money form the program.

The first step in the whole process is realizing that you probably will not earn a full time living from your Adsense endeavors. With this in mind, make sure that you are using Adsense as a supplemental earnings system. By that, I simply mean that it should not be your main source of income. You should be using another system, such as affiliate marketing or product creation to make most of your money. Then, you can leverage your website traffic into extra earnings with Google's advertising program.

You just need to make sure that you are targeting appropriate keywords. The best way to find profitable keywords is done through your Adwords account. (Adwords is the program that people join to buy ads that are shown on Adsense publishers websites). All you need to do is look at which keywords have high pay-per-click values. Then, out of those keywords find which ones have high bidder densities (meaning that there are a lot of people buying advertising for that keyword, this ensures that there is a demand for it). Finally, narrow you list down to those that have the fewest competing sites.

Do some research and if you are able to find some keywords that have a small amount of competing sites but still have a high bid value - then you have found a great niche to work in. Your next step is to add advertisements to your site, then draw some traffic there and you could start earning with Adsense very quickly.

A great method that you could use is called 'arbitrage'. This method involves creating a website where you publish ads with high PPC payouts. Then you advertise that website through Adsense, but only using keywords that have low PPC payouts - which means that you pay very little to buy advertisements for your site, but your site holds advertisements that give high payouts when a visitor clicks on them.

With all of this mind, it's pretty plain to see that earning with Adsense is possible. But, if you plan on earning a full time income, you should probably use it as a supplement to another program that earns a little bit more.
