Monetizing Your Blog For Profit - Part 1 (Adsense)

 

One of the most amazing benefits of blogging is the ability

to earn money from writing about something you love, and

at the same time inspiring more people to find out about

your chosen topic.

A popular method of earning money from blogging is

enrolling in the Google Adsense program, which allows

you to earn money each time a visitor clicks on an advert

on your blog.

Implementing Adsense on a blog is very straight forward.
To start visit:

http://www.google.com/adsense/start/

Once you have been approved you will be given a code to

place on your websites.

To add the code to your blog, the easiest way is to add a
widget. Use a Text widget in the Widget area of your blog
and copy paste the code.

The biggest strength of Google's Adsense technology is its
ability to match ads to content, using a process called
contextual matching.

Contextual matching allows the readers of your blog to see

ads related to the article they are reading, for example a

link to a camera store on the latest digital camera review.

Some people prefer not have the standard adsense ads on

their blogs as visitors know they are paying you when they

click on a link. A way to advoid this, which not many

bloggers know about is to use Google Adsense For Search.

Google Adsense For Search is easy to implement. By using

a plugin called "Google Adsense Accelerator". This plugin

will add a custom Google search box to the header of your

blog, as well as a custom search box to the foot of every

post with a "call to action". Your visitors won't even know

it's Google Adsense.

 Google Adsense Accelerator will give you the potential to

increase your Adsense income.

Once you have had your ad code on the blog for a while

you will start to see your statistics displayed in the

Adsense control panel, such as the number of times your

ads have been shown, how many were clicked, and how

much you have earned.

Adsense is a very simple monetization option for bloggers,

so why not give it a try to see how much you could earn?
