Google Adsense – How to make money from your blog site

Posted on February 5, 2009 by Paul · Posted in Google Adsense · 4 Comments 

As well as blogging our progress we also want to use this blog to try out various tools which we can then use in our future websites. One of the tools we have tried out is the Amazon affiliate program and an article will be appearing on this soon.

Another tool we are trying out is Google AdSense. AdSense is run by Google. Website owners can sign up for AdSense to enable text, image, and video advertisements on their websites. The advertisements are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. So if someone visits your site and clicks on a Google AdSense advertisement the website owner will receive an amount based on the cost per click.

We have applied for the account and are awaiting verification from Google. This will enable us to see if Google AdSense is right for this site, how it works, how we position the ads and the relevance of the ads related to the posts we add. As soon as we receive the go ahead from Google we will try adding some ads and see how they look. Once they appear please let us know what you think.
