What a lot of newbie affiliate marketer’s fail to realise is the fact that not all Google Adsense adverts are equal. We all realised that it is a way of monetising the a website. However the crucial part is that Good Adsense pays out according to the revenue that they get in! Different advertisers pay larger amounts depending on the niche and the advert.
The bottom line is the fact that Google’s AdSense is a superb revenue generating opportunity for all websites whatever their size.
Some webmasters are designing new micro sites specifically to support Google
AdSense text ads. These sites have between fifteen and twenty pages of content and loads of ads. if this seems like a great idea to you remember what Google giveth – Google can takeaway. It is a lot easier to lose Google adsense income than it is to learn the ins and out. It is specifical against their terms of use to create sites merely to generate adsense income. Therefore it is always wise to include some affiliate links, better still write an ebook and sell that on the site.
AdSense ads are the opposite of the Google AdWords ads you see on the right-hand side at Google when you do a search from a Google Adverts. The adwords generate an income for Google and they share that income through Adsense with webmasters whose sites hosts those adverts.
AdSense has had an huge impact on the affiliate marketing industry, because it is easier to generate an income from the text ads as you only have to drive traffic to the sites, than it is to make a sale for a clickbank product and that is why the lure of adsense is appealing.
AdSense has many advantages first and foremost it is simple to join and it is not rocket science to copy and paste the text into your website. Google provides highly targeted relevant ads and as the content of the ads reflects the contents of the site, it in theory increases the number of people who will click on those adverts.
Another advantage is the fact that one set of codes does for all the pages that cover the specific size of the advert. Once you have chosen your code you do not have to mess around and add it to every page of your website – that gives you more time to start your bum article marketing and bum article writing campaign.
Adsense has simple to understand stats, it may look a little confusing at first but it really is not. It has to be simple as Google is not being entirely honest as to the rate that they paying you- they have to compensate to make some of it easy!
Another advantage is the fact that you can block up yoo two hundred adverts and that means that you can block adverts from your serious competitors – that is especially useful if you are selling your own product as well.
If you own multiple sites, you need apply only once. This fact alone makes it a lot superior than keep joining different affiliate programmes which you have to keep a constant track of.
The downside of Google adwords is the fact that screening 200 URLS may be sufficient to stop your competitors advertising, but in some niches it is no where near enough to prevent inappropriate adverts. Another frustration is the fact you can tell what adverts have been clicked, but you cannot drill down to ascertain what keywords have triggered that click.
My own biggest bug bear when I first joined was the fact that you could not easily filter out low paying clicks. In fact it took me a while to realise that I had adsense on sites that were earning me pennies a day. Initially I thought that I would never ever actually reach the initial payout of $100.
In fact I started to make money from Adsense when I realised that all adverts were not equal. Some people got paid dollars a day and often more than fifty dollars a day from one site! The difference was my first sites were cookery related and they involved adverts for pennies, once I got into hosting. I was paid enormous amounts fro ewach sale as an affiliate marketer and also larger chunks of the text adsense market. The epiphany had occured and I had woken up to the power of Adsense. Except that you are still working in the dark because Google refuses to say how much its AdSense partners will receive.
“How much will I earn through this program? The AdWords ads you are able to display on your content pages are cost-per-click (CPC) ads. This means that advertisers pay only when users click on ads. You’ll receive a portion of the amount paid for clicks on AdWords ads on your website. Although we don’t disclose the exact revenue share, our goal is to enable publishers to make as much or more than they could with other advertising networks.”
Another big disadvantage is the fact that you can come to rely on the income from Google Adsense, and many an unsuspecting webmaster has had their comminsions rescinded and they have lost the right to have Adsense. If Google suspects fraudulent clicks on ads appearing on your pages, it will wipe you off their revenue list and that is usually permanent with no right of appeal, because Google is big enough to be a law unto themselves. All power to them for that, that is precisely why they attract the advertisers.
The bottom line is think smart look at hte big noiches rather than the micro niches to pay top dollars. Read their FAQS very very carefully and make an effort every day not to contravene their term of service.
