Introduction
One of the latest online money making strategies is to use Google’s AdSense
and or to use Google’s AdWord programs. Each of these programs has the potential
to improve your cash flow, however, you need to know how these programs work
before you can make a realistic estimate about the kind of money you will be
able to earn, and before you can determine which program(s) is/are best for you.
This article will go over the basics of both Google marketing programs including
what you need to do to join, how the pay structure is designed, and what you
need to do to be successful in each program.
Google AdSense
AdSense is a marketing affiliate program where you place specially selected
Google-generated advertisements on your web page that reflects the information
and content of your web page. In return for hosting these ads you are paid based
on the number of ad images, click throughs, or purchases made because of your
web page.
Signing Up for AdSense
To become an affiliated member of AdSense you first will be required to fill
out an application. You will be asked if you will be setting a business or
personal account, and what country you reside in. This will help determine what
types of ads will be most appropriate for your website. The second category of
application questions addresses the URL location of your website and the
language your site is in. You then select what Google products that you are
interested in. You can select AdSense for content, AdSense for search, or both.
Next you enter your personal information including contact information, and
payee information. Finally you will be required to set up your password and
access name. This is similar to setting up most other online services. Use an
email address that is stable and that you will have for a long time, and select
a password that you will remember. After entering this information and
submitting your application, it will be reviewed.
Once your application is approved you will receive a block of HTML code that
you will need to program into your website so that AdSense will be able to run
and be able to be tracked on your website.
