How to Make Money Online with Google

Google is the most popular site on the Internet according to Alexa.com. This giant search company makes over $25,000,000,000 a year. Ya, those are a lot of zeros. What’s really awesome is that you can also get a part of the pie as well! Google makes the majority of its money from advertising. Since billions of people use Google every month, advertising on it is a very lucrative option for hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Those sites teaching you how
to make money online with Google weren’t lying. You really can make some cash with Google’s AdSense program, a program that pays you to put advertisements on your site. Wait, let me rephrase that. AdSense is a program that pays you every time someone clicks on ad on your website. Hundreds of thousands of webmaster use AdSense on their websites and make millions of dollars a year, but the majority of those people earn mere pennies per day.

Most people don’t earn more than a few hundred dollars per year because they don’t know how to optimize their websites for AdSense and are clueless about pretty much everything to do with. They just sign up to the program and then stick up a few ads on their website and expect to retire. Things don’t work like that. If you really want to earn some decent cash with Google AdSense program, you’re going to need to work a bit. (Yes, I also hate that word but it really is only way to make money online.)

First you need to make sure you’ve got an AdSense account, you can sign up for one free at AdSense.com. Once you’ve signed up for your account, you should have a place where you can create some new ads and get codes for them to place on your website. After you’ve done that you will need to start tweaking and testing out different ad layouts and color schemes to see which one works best for you. One color scheme that may work for your gardening website may not work very well for your photography website, keep that in mind. There are a few basic tips that should in theory increase you AdSense CTR quickly, but it’s really up to you to test out all the different layouts/colors/positions till you find the perfect one.

The other thing you need to pay attention to if you want to make money online with Google AdSense is that not all keywords are treated differently. If you’ve got a website about hairy koalas, then the clicks you get aren’t going to be worth as much as those that you get on your technology website. You can use Google’s Keyword tool to find out how much advertisers are willing to pay for their ads to appear on your website.

Finally, you can also earn money online with Google AdWords, but I’m not going to recommend that since I assume you’re just starting out and the worst thing you could is start spending money!
