Now by reading this post, I take into account you already know what Google Adsense is. One question a new user looking at using Google Adsense will ask is, “why would I use Adsense?” I will explain that very question as well as whether it is worth placing Google Adsense on your site!

Now the answer I would always give to someone thinking about is, “yes!” You could always promote some other banner of course, this include an affiliate program and so on. Now you would make some decent money that is as long as your visitors were actually interested in what you were promoting. There is one small problem with using Affiliate programs though, most of them will only pay you on the sale of their product, or even someone signing up under you.

You have to realize now that Google Adsense is in fact nothing like that. Also, if you’re thinking that you can’t make money through Adsense, feast your eyes on the fact that a lot of people actually make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year using Adsense. It also doesn’t stop there. You have the option of showing your visitor to a text ad. Rather than having annoying flashy designed banners on your site designed to intrigue people into buying a product, you can have simple worded text banners that allow the user to read a little to see if they are interested.

Of course you will have to work out your position a little better as the visitor needs to be able to see them, the basic text ads to not annoy the stuffing out of a new visitor. Ever been on a site with tones of ads, popup ads, banner ads, and other annoying things that really make you feel annoyed? Well, to be honest I have too! As soon as I see a site like that I am pretty content in simply clicking off it and continuing on to another page. With Adsense you have better options, you can choose what you want your ads to look like and you can still make good money.

Another great thing about Adsense is the fact that it is all targeted automatically. You don’t have to spend the extra time looking for an affiliate in your niche to target. You simply set up your Adsense account, set the colours and size; and then paste the code where you like and presto! You have some great relating ads to your niche within ten minutes.

It is probably best to stick within your Niche when using Adsense. For example if you had a blog about cars and so on, but suddenly wrote a post about games then your ads wouldn’t be targeted for cars. The visitor may have come along to check out car posts, but will get gaming ads. That would mean you would possibly get a lower CTR on your ads as the visitor wouldn’t be interested in games.

Yet another brilliant thing about Adsense is just how easy it is to change the size of banners. You are able to pick through a lot of designs that have proven to work best for sites. This helps you fit the ads into your site and allows you to place them where you like with ease. It also brings a little bit of extra class to your site, particularly as you maintain the nice clean look.

Probably one of the biggest problems with getting advertising on your site is not being able to find related sites. Using Adsense you will never have a problem like this again. You are able to get ads instantly relating to your niche and completely targeted without a hassle.

Adsense is 100% free to join and they will never charge you anything. There are literally thousands of people ready to advertise on your site, many of them in the same niche and willing to pay higher than there competitor, meaning more money for you. Setting up Adsense is extremely easy, it can take up to ten minutes to place your ads and see them! You simply join Adsense, set up your banner size and all other descriptions. This then leads you to a code which you copy and paste into your sites design.

Many people use Adsense simply to pay their hosting bill monthly, while others have been known to start Adsense and start making good money within their first few months. Adsense is a great program for everyone. Look at an advertiser’s point of view; they can pay to get targeted traffic. A publisher can have targeted ads on his site and earn easy money though clicks. Best of all it looks great to a new visitor and isn’t annoying like affiliate ads can be.
