Today we are going to do our weekly round up. This week the round up is all about Google Adsense. Initially I only wanted to add Google Adsense articles to it but I didn’t find enough articles to solely focus on Adsense. That’s why I added the Internet Advertising category to it. I still hope you like it.
If you would like to get your articles featured here then be sure to submit them to MMO – Making Money Online social network as all of these articles have been submitted there at one point or another.

In several articles I have mentioned above there is always the discussion of whether you can make money through Google AdSense. I have tried making money through it too but I haven’t been very successful. What do you think is essential to make money through AdSense? Have you built a website solely dedicated to making money from Google AdSense?

I would like to ask one question. I am seen many bloggers telling that they are earning from affiliate programs too.. But I have not seen such ads.. So, How we can use affiliate links from CJ or clickbank effectively? and Which is good between CJ and Clickbank?

Have tried AdSense before but I wasn’t really successful. I think, selecting the right niche and how to drive traffic to your site and make them click to your ads were really harder than what I expected. And it takes time and tons of diligence are needed before you can earn decent amount of money. That made me think twice if it’s really worth my time.

Great roundup. I’ve definitely heard some varying reviews on Adsense. A lot of people say they don’t make as much money as they wanted with it. You need to have some serious traffic to have any chances of making some money.
Hope to see more posts like this in the future!

Thank you Laura. There are people making a lot of money through Adsense. But I personally think making money through Adsense is a lot harder than people think it is. And I would go much further: Adsense is not easy to use as most people describe. Yes it’s true it’s simple to set up and you can make money right away but still you need to have a lot of experience in order to make some decent amount of money through Adsense. I will definitely posts some more articles like this
Thank you for linking to my post, Get Your Business Online with a Shoestring Budget, always appreciated and I’m glad you found it useful.

Julius,
Thanks for sharing. I am always looking for more info on Google adsense and affiliate marketing…
Then you seem to be at the right place
I hope you enjoy the articles. I particularly enjoyed all the articles on Adsense. They are definitely worth reading.
Thanks James
Changes Doubled My AdSense Revenue is an interesting read. Nice list Julius. For what it is worth, you have the links opening up in this window, not a new window. You might lose a reader or two by doing that.
Colleen recently posted..Richland Washington Homes For Sale
I agree I think not only is the article you mentioned interesting but all of the posts I have mentioned. And yes we don’t open the links in a new window. Yes you could lose a reader but I don’t think we will
Thanks Colleen.
Personally I think it doesn’t make such a huge difference whether you open the link in a new window or not. If the visitors want to go back to FamousBloggers they can always hit the back button
True, but if the reader gets side-tracked, therein lies the problem.

Hey Julius,
Nice list of articles. I’m yet to use adsense on my blog.
Thanks for the list of some awesome articles. Going to check out all of them.
And thanks a lot for including me
. I really appreciate it.
~Dev
Thanks Dev. Glad you like the list. Before you use Adsense on your blog be sure to read all of these articles as they are extremely interesting.
Great post by the way
I have been using google adsense, but never earn much out of it, I can honestly tell you, the best month I got was only $3.64. That’s my best month…. lol If you ask me about adsense, I can only say, if your alexa ranking is near below 3000, most probably you can earn adsense out of it. Those people who said they can earn high income from adsense with a alexa ranking more then 3000… is almost bullshit.
You ask me why? well… look if someone said I earn a few hundred dollar through adsense on my website and when you go check it’s alexa ranking is around 100,000, tell me do you believe him… guess what? For those who is reading this, don’t ever believe what I said above because that’s just what I know and I know only the answer, I doesn’t need the “why.”

Hmm interesting thoughts you have here. As I’ve already mentioned I have only earned $0.63 through Adsense which I believe is not that much. Still I don’t even think that Adsense is so much about traffic. You could get so much traffic through social media sites still only a small percentage of people would click on those Adsense links. I think that the revenue you get from Adsense highly depends on the type of traffic you get with search engine traffic being the best. I also think that your niche is important. I mean it’s extremely hard to make lots of money in the Internet marketing niche through Adsense. Otherwise most of the well-known bloggers would be using it, wouldn’t they?
Thanks for your interesting comment
Well, I disagree with Bad Blogger’s point of view.
My Alexa rank is around 100k to 130K during last 3-4 months since, I joined Adsense and I am earning around 150$ each month.
It’s a PPC program so the has nothing related with traffic.
Further conversion rate is also somehow important in Adsense.
Regular visitors rarely click your ads and so if you really want to earn through adsense then you should increase your organic traffic through Google/search.
I agree with what Julius Kuhn-Regnier explained here
Thanks for the link! Love your roundup, found some other interesting articles that I’m going to read too!

Thanks for the feedback and I am truly happy that you like the round up. The articles I have mentioned above are all great reads so be sure to check them out.
By the way are you earning any money through Adsense?
Hey Julius, sorry for the late reply!
Yes, I am making money through Adsense, although I must say that the past few months it is declining. I have the impression that people are becoming “adsense-blind”, be it psychological, or technical. I think many people are using adblockers these days. However, I used to make around 700-800$ a month.

Useful roundup, Since I have just started to be a regular at FamousBloggers, I think I am going to need to digg up the archives and read all the fabolous old posts. First Off, I am going to read these Adsense and Internet Advertising articles since my adsense earnings is very puny right now

Just be sure to not to rely on Adsense to heavily since you are also close to the Internet marketing niche.
I hope you enjoy our community
Hey there Julius,
Thanks for the tips, I am surely going to read the posts and yes you are right I am not concentrating only on Adsense but also going into Internet Marketing too.
And about the community, I have already started enjoying ;D

Yes, I heard that so many places give you revenue from AdSense, is it work?
Latief recently posted..Latest Themes From Elegant Themes
I can only tell you about my experience. I personally have made around $0.63 I think from Adsense. And that’s when I used it on my blog. Of course it all depends on the niche and the way you approach things. But I would say that for the normal blogger it is not really worth it.
On the other hand if you are blogging about let’s say weight loss then Google Adsense might work very well. If you are not sure whether Adsense will work for you then read the Google scams article. Thanks Latief.

So the niche is really have a big influence to your AdSense earning. Thank, this is very interesting bro
Latief recently posted..Latest Themes From Elegant Themes
Yes I believe that the niche does have a big impact on the amount of money you can make through Adsense. But of course that’s not the only factor. To be honest I believe that the traffic you get is also important and by traffic I mean the kind of traffic you get. The more traffic you get through search engines the better off you are.
I hope everything is going well
Be sure to drop me a note on how things are going with Adsense.
You are right bro, Adsense totally depends on Niche…I say it by experience too. I get most of my earnings only through Affiliate marketing and Direct advertising…I have really not been able to click with Adsense since for adsense we need to have a specific niche but my blog is kind of a jumble up mixture of everything and has no niche so adsense fires up on me

Thanks Julius and Shiva, I’ll keep your advice and I agree that is traffic from search engine and niche are the most important for AdSense, so we must doing our SEO well
Latief recently posted..Latest Themes From Elegant Themes
Ya… ur right normal blogger might not worth it, and yes weight loss might work, but I think the best of all is games, mp3, videos and handphone ringtone and application.
Those site that rank the first page of google for their target keyword is almost earning through adsense to run their site. No doubt about it. But how much they earn, I’m not sure… who knows? may be is just a few hundres to thousands, may be someone can go contact one of the site admin and ask him or her when her earning comes from…. most probably you can interview him and put it up in famous blogger…
The Bad Blogger recently posted..An Important Marketing Concept I Learn From Marrying A Women That’s Not Of My Country !
Seems interesting. The niches you are talking about are all full of advertisers willing to spend money. That’s why I think Google Adsense work well with them. The question in the end is whether something else works better. There are a lot of alternatives to Adsense and I think that sometimes Google Adsense is simply overrated.
Thanks for the comment
These articles must every probloggers read, are gold worth, because for the probloggers who make a living on adsense, a slight adjustment can mean a difference of few hundred to thousands of dollars.
Thanks Lennart. Yeah changing a few things around with Adsense can really make a huge difference. That’s why you need to keep testing to see what works best for you.
Hey Julius,
Honestly, I have started making money through Adsense generated through HubPages. I don’t know that I’ll ever create a website now when I could just rank a HubPage and make decent Adsense money off of that.
But we’ll see. I have a few sites climbing ranks at the moment and I will add Adsense once they get to the #1 or #2 spots in Google.
Thanks for the articles!
Tia recently posted..Two Cents Tuesday: (Some) Blogs Get Better with Age
Interesting. Why are you using Hubpages? Why not Squidoo? Have you used the method that is talked about in one of the articles?
Yeah if you add Google Adsense then be sure to read the articles I have mentioned above because they contain a wealth of information on Adsense. I have read all of them and I believe that I have learned a lot. In the end the most important part is to simply do some testing
Thanks for the comment Tia
You’re welcome, Julius!
I haven’t used the tactics in the revenue sharing article on HubPages just yet. I have heard of SheToldMe and RedGage. I’m certainly going to look into them because I adore making HubPages.
Why HubPages over Squidoo: Smaller, more communicative body of writers, I guess. I think HubPages has done a better job at facilitating communication between hubs, making it easy to link to each other’s hubs, and instituting a better voting system. Competitions also encourage visiting, and they now have Hub hopping which is similar to StumbleUpon.
I guess the reasons I prefer it are actually endless. To me, it’s hands-down the better way to go. I used Squidoo in the beginning but got jaded from lack of views and traffic. Too much stuff on that site.
Tia recently posted..Question of the Week: Do You Consider Yourself Influential?
Alright these all seem like good reasons. I have only used Squidoo and I thought that it would at least drive some traffic directly to my lense but it didn’t. That’s why I stopped using Squidoo.
If I will again try to use it I will rather check out Hubpages. How much money do you earn per month through Hubpages? And how much work was it to get your hubpages to the point where they start to rank well and make money?
I am at the moment trying all sorts of different things out to make money and see which method works best for me. That’s why I might have to check out Hubpages soon and I would love to get some additional information on it
Well, I haven’t made so much – a little over $4 in the past week, with most of it coming from a hub I did on how to save money. Then again, I only joined HubPages 5 weeks ago and now have $19 hubs. I am planning to really ramp up the number of hubs I produce each week to around 5 per week. That should dramatically increase revenue.
One of my hubs, on Kancamagus Highway Photography, gets over 10 visits per day from Google and ranks #3 for the phrase. That one doesn’t bring in very much with Adsense but I have started monetizing it with Amazon today.
You’re right that it’s about niche’s. I make sure my hubs are very, very focused. The more detailed and focused they are, the more likely the ads will be relevant. My Tucson hubs end up with great ads; I haven’t done much for SEO for any of those, but when I do, they’ll bring in a lot of money.
Well… I once took stomper net course, and they are not using Squidoo to rank high in google, but uses hubpages to rank high for keywords with of course unique, high quality content that is….

Lately I have been earning about $50 – $60 per month from AdSense on DragonBlogger.com
Thanks for this wonderful article. I use Adsense in my blogs so the articles you’ve listed is really helpful and useful for me.
I am glad they are useful to you. I also learned a lot about Adsense by reading through all of these articles so be sure to check them out.
The one article at Problogger specifically mentions that you should reduce the number of Adsense ads you have on your blog. That makes sense because if a visitor has too many options then he might not click on an Adsense link after all. Be sure to try that out
I agree that sometimes less is more. I’ve been having second thoughts whether to put adsense in my sidebar or not. Your article helped me decide on what to do.
Julius recently posted..A Different View on Tattoo and Body Art
Thanks Julius. I’ve tried content spinning before and most of those programs are worthless and considered blackhat on top of that. I do rely on Adsense heavily so I will be checking out some of the articles you pointed out. Thanks for creating the weekly list
Aaron recently posted..Free Blogs
I personally haven’t tried content spinning before and it also doesn’t seem useful to me. I have a much better technique for finding content for your websites. I pay around $0.5-2 per 10 articles which I believe is pretty good. I simply buy PLR ebooks and use their content on my sites (not on my blog though).
Take a look at the articles. They are really interesting and will definitely give you some ideas as to what you can do with Adsense and how you can make more money with it.
