This is a simple guide to show you how to make money with Google Ad Sense. Google AdSense basically puts ads on your website that are related to your website content. You get paid when someone clicks an ad.

  1. Step 1

    I have a website that I sell dog t-
    shirts from: http://www.cafePress.com/fashionpug
    If I want to make extra income from ads on my web-
    site, I sign up for Google AdSense. Google Adsense
    then gives me an HTML code that I enter on my
    dog t-shirt website. Now, ads begin to appear on my
    website that are related to my site’s content.
    The example below shows some Google AdSense
    ads on my dog t-shirt website:

  2. Step 2

    Ads Relate to Content.
    As you can see, all of the ads are
    related to dogs, and may be help-
    ful and interesting to people who
    are visiting a dog t-shirt website. If
    someone is interested in dog jew-
    elry, they might click the ad that
    says “Dog Gifts & Collectibles.”
    When they click that ad, I will earn
    a profit. I earn a profit every time
    an ad is clicked.

  3. Step 3

    When They Click,
    You Earn.
    It’s that easy to earn money with
    Google AdSense, and you don’t
    have to worry about selling a
    product or inventory, etc. Once
    you set up your Ad Sense account,
    Google takes care of the rest. It’s
    basically a “hands off” money-making system. It is
    a great way to earn extra passive income on your
    website or blog.

  4. Step 4

    How Much Profit Can I Make?
    Let’s say I earn an average of $.12 per click from my
    ads on my dog t-shirt website. If 1,000 people visit
    my website a day, and out of those 1,000 people,
    10 click on a Google Ad sense ad, then I will make
    $1.20 a day. So it is basically a numbers game. The
    more traffic you have, the more earnings you can
    receive.

  5. Step 5

    How do I sign up for Google AdSense?
    • Go to: Google Adsense
    (You will need a blog or some other type of web-
    site to sign up for Google AdSense.) If you don’t
    have a website or blog, there are many free blog
    sites available. I personally use Blogger.com. There
    are also services where you can make free websites
    such as: Webs.com

  6. Step 6

    Create your Ads
    • After signing up on Google AdSense, log into your
    account at:
    https://http://www.google.com/adsense/login/en_US/?gsessionid=vlloC1bSfNC5zY90GcosBg

  7. Step 7

    • Click “AdSense Setup” on the toolbar.
    • To place ads on your blog or content website,
    click “AdSense for Content”
    • Click “Ad unit” (the default) for now, and click
    “Continue.”
    • Choose the size of ads you would like displayed
    on your page and the colors.
    • Check out this video for great tips on choosing
    ad sizes, colors, and ways to optimize your Google
    AdSense ads:

  8. Step 8

    Adjust your Ads
    • Next, you can add a channel if you like to help you
    group certain adds together and help track them
    better.
    • Name your ad with a title that is easy to recognize
    and includes the name of your website, size of the
    ad, location of where you will put the ad on your
    webpage (ex: DogHomepage 728x90 top center).
    • Click “Submit and Get Code.”

  9. Step 9

    Add the Code to Your Website or Blog
    • Go to your website and enter the area where you
    can edit the HTML on your website.
    • Paste your Google AdSense code into the html at
    your desired location on the website layout.
    • After adding the new HTML code, your Google Ad-
    Sense ads should begin appearing on your website.
    The ads should be related to the content of your
    website. If they are not related to your content,
    you may need to edit your website’s content to
    add more keywords that highlight the main topic of
    your website.

  10. Step 10

    Sit back and Start Earning
    • When someone visits your website and clicks
    on one of your Google AdSense ads, you will earn
    money in your Google Adsense account.
    Warning: DO NOT click on your own Adsense
    ads or put content on your website that says things
    like “Click my Adsense ads.” If you do so, Google
    Adsense will suspend or cancel your account.
    • You can check your Google Adsense account
    whenever you like to see how much money you are
    earning and to find out which ads are working best
    for you. You can then adjust your ads accordingly for
    the best results.

Tips & Warnings
  • • Making money through Google Adsense depends mostly upon the amount of traffic visiting your blog or website. If you already have 50 hits or more a day on your website, you can expect to start generating some earnings from Google Adsense. If your blog or website is new or brings in less than 50 clicks a day, then you will usually not see a great deal of earnings. You can still however, set up your AdSense account and work on ways to build the traffic to your website or blog by posting content more frequently and spreading the word about your site.

Great article. Nice formating. Breaks things down to bitesize chunks Just to say though that once everything is set up, the main task is getting traffic to the site. This is the big rate limiting step with adsense. one has to remember that only a small proportion of the site's visitors are going to click on the ads so the more traffic the better http://niche-traffic-sale.blogspot.com/2008/12/make-money-with-adsense-traffic.html
