All About Adsense!

May 26th, 2009

Right then, I have a webpage and a domain all sorted (see my previous blogs below). Now I’m ready to create some content that is going to make me money.  The most famous and probably the easiest is using Adsense by google.

Google Adsense is one of the most successful online advertising programs today. As a webmaster, Google’s Adsense program can be a possible income stream from your website, an income that can range from a few dollars to several hundred dollars a month

Many hours have gone into researching the content for this website, and it will be constantly updated with the latest content related to Google Adsense.

The Google Adsense program is a great alternative, or even replacement, for the outdated banner programs. Today more and more internet users have gone “blind” to banner advertising, and thereby threatening your advertisement income as a webmaster.

Here is what Google writes about it’s adsense program:

“Google Adsense is the programme that can generate advertising revenue from each page on your website—with a minimal investment in time and no additional resources.

Adsense delivers relevant ads that are precisely targeted on a page-by-page basisto the content people find on your site. And when you add a Google search box to your site, Adsense delivers relevant ads that are targeted to the Google search results pages generated by your visitors’ search request.

You can customise the appearance of ads, choosing from a wide range of colours and templates. You can do the same with your search results page. Your reports are customisable, too. Flexible reporting tools let you group your pages in any way you want so you can view your results by URL, domain, ad type, category and more to learn where your earnings are coming from.”

Google Adsense ads, are highly content relevant ads, that are served directly on your pages - without your intervention. For you as a webmaster, this means that you simply paste the Google Adsense code on your pages, and thereafter have a constantly updated and relevant advertising income.

You can see an example of Google’s Adsense on the top of my home page.

The Google Adsense program serves ads generated by AdWords users on Adsense publishers webpage’s. The Adsense ad layout can be fully customised to fit your excisting website design, in regards to both size, placement, colours and much more.

Lets Begin

Right, just logged into google.com and signed up for adsense. Provided my payment info and bingo, I can now create adverts for my site. Really really simple, google gives me the code and I enter it into homepage where I want it to display and thats it, check it out at: http://www.moneylotsofmoney.com

So easy to do I recommend this for everyone, I will keep you posted to how it performs.

Lets start at the beginning!

1. Design of my Webpage

Ok, it all started on the 10th May 2009, the first thing I need is a webpage. Before I look into domains and hosting I need a design. My design skills are next to useless so the only way I can knock out a half decent website is by using a template. After a few searches I came accross: http://www.freewebtemplates.com/ its ok, but a bit of a con to find free templates, therefore I ended up using: http://www.metamorphozis.com/ much better! Without too much trouble I have my site ready

2. Registering a domain

This is a huge subject and theres many companies to pick from as I’m sure your aware. Many of these companies offer free registeration, but only if you task out hosting with them, well this option ends up costing way too much (I get free hosting). Therefore I believe the best domain registeration company is GoDaddy:
Sale! $7.49 .com at Go Daddy GoDaddy.com 120x60

This way it should cost about $5-$10 and I can get free hosting (see the next chapter). Not bad, a complete website on the internet for around $5 - $10 thats £5 in my money!

Hosting

Ok, so I have a domain, now I need free hosting. This is more difficult to find, but after about 30mins or so I found one! I’m using http://www.freehostia.com/ its totally free and no ads, brilliant because I want to make money from my own adverts! You just set the DNS1 and 2 up which you ask for during registering your domain (from Godaddy above), and paste it into your freeserve account and your done! This is new for me, but basically your just telling your new domain where to point, very easy to do from Godaddy.

FTP

Right, now I need to post my website online, I can do this a number of ways, freeserve offers an account area where I can upload one file at a time, this is rather frustrating, so I use a ftp program called Core FTP Lite. I downloaded this from www.download.com to avoid any spyware etc. Freeserve gives you your FTP settings and your good to go. Downloaded my website and I’m done.

Whats to come: Adsense and advertising.
