Adsense clicks

II. Introduction to Adsense

What is Google Adsense? Adsense is a program where Google puts advertisements on your site (to your discretion) and every time someone clicks on the ad you get capital. This program provides publishers a chance to make a small amount of money or a large amount of money by simply putting advertisements on their website.

III. Getting Accepted

Well getting into Google Adsense is very simple. If you do not have a website, I suggest you make a blogger. Blogger is associated with Google corporation so your site will automatically get accepted into the program. Of course if you already own a site you are going to be reviewed more carefully. If there are any traces of pornography, gambling, hacking, illegal activities, or excessive swearing you will be rejected immediately. One of the most common ways of getting rejected by Google Adsense is applying for an account too soon, by this I mean you get your website up and running on the Monday, and with one page of content you apply for an Adsense Account. Make sure your website contains quality information and a decent amount of active views. Your website also must be on a top level domain, meaning your website can not be from a free hosting site like webs.com or yola.com in most cases. If you have any more trouble getting accepted into adsense there are dozens of quality members on the Monetizing Techniques forum that will help you out.

IV. Setting up your blog

By now you have already made a blog at blogger, but the question is, what the heck do I put on there? This is a very common dilemma but not something that can't be fixed. Adsense pays you a certain amount depending on what your ads are about. What you post in your blog will effect the turn out of the advertisements on your blog. If I post about Halo 3 in my blog then my ads will be about gaming, Xbox 360 etc. These are called keywords and that's how Google determines what ads to place on your website. Making the most money is what we strive to achieve and if you want to accomplish that goal then you are going to need the ads that pay the most per click. Here are some keywords that will pay the most... insurance, cancer, mortgages, financial and there are a lot more. You are going to have to make a blog post about the keyword of your choice, then naturally your ads will be about that niche.

V. Getting Clicks

Getting clicks is one of the toughest standards of making money with adsense. If you own a large website then there is a chance you might naturally get clicks from the active members on your site. Unfortunately for the higher percentage of people who don't own colossal websites, we have to get our clicks a different way.  You can get clicks with a new program called Adoholic which will be starting up in the near future. This program cycles through people's ads and lets you get clicks. If you are looking for further information please don't hesitate to view the website he has created. I also have one more method of getting clicks which will not be released! I do not feel prepared to give out such a great working method yet. I will of course ponder on the idea and give additional thought to it as the time flies by.

VI. Impressions and CTR

What the heck is an impression! An impression is a view that was made to your website. For example, if ten of my friends view my blog, I just received 10 impressions. What is CTR? Page CTR is the ratio of how many clicks you get out of how many impressions you receive. So if I got 1 click out of 100 impressions then my CTR percentage would be at 1%. Why the heck does CTR matter though? CTR is a determining factor to see if your account is legit. Of course if you have 3 impressions and 2 clicks then your CTR is at 67% which is most likely going to get banned at the end of the month. If your CTR is above 5% at the end of the month when you are going to get paid, you might be at risk for getting banned! If you want to keep your CTR low you need to get a lot of impressions, also known as traffic. Of course, people with blogs will not get that many views so you will have to rely on something else. Many people here on HF sell and sometimes even give away for free, traffic. Traffic is necessary if you want to maintain an adsense account. Getting impressions is something I even struggle with, but if you find the right person who can fulfill your traffic needs then you are set. Be careful where you get your traffic from though, some sources may put you at risk of getting hit by the Google Banhammer.

VII. Payout

This is the thing that you desire the most, getting paid. Of course there are some obstacles you have to run through before you can get on the path to touching that dough. First, you have to verify your information, verify through phone, get a pin through the mail, and enter your social security number. Once this is complete, you can choose your desired payment option. You will receive your payment at the end of the month, but not before they check if your clicks are legit or fraudulent. The payout date is the most important time for you to check your account. Before the end of the month make sure your account is absolutely flawless. Keep the CTR under 5% and you will have no problem. If you do this be ready to receive your payment every thirty days!
