Making Money Displaying Ads
Posted by administrator on Friday, April 9th, 2010
Aside from selling products on your e-commerce site, there are other ways you can make money from your website. Today I'll talk about displaying ads from the AdSense ad network as a way of earning residual income.
Some websites you visit have ads on them. Although there are many kinds of ads, the most common ads are served through Google. Their ad program is called AdSense. How it works is you create a free AdSense account and copy-and-paste a unique code to your website. Here is an example of what you might see after you copy and paste the code:
Whenever someone clicks on a link on your site, Google is charging the advertiser some money (usually $0.15 to $0.65) for that click. As a way of thanking you for bringing them the click, Google will share part of the revenue with you. The amount they share with you depends on the cost of the ad running on your site. It's usually a few pennies. The goal is to get a your website visitors clicking on the ads on your site.
Once you have accumulated enough revenue through sharing ads, Google will pay you. On my site, I have opted for the option of receiving a check in the mail after accumulating $100 in shared advertising revenue.
As you can imagine, it can take a lot of time to accumulate enough clicks on ads to earn $100, especially if you're making pennies per click. I have AdSense ads running on my Quilter Blogs website. However, it's an exciting thing to get a check like this one in the mail:
If your website won't look unprofessional with ads on an area of your site, I recommend trying AdSense to make a little extra money.
