Goole Adsense

Google AdSense, Google’s advertising program lets webmasters display ads from Google’s extensive list of advertisers. Through Google’s program, unobtrusive text-based ads are served on member sites, who then earn a commission every time someone clicks on the advertisers’ links.

Google uses their search technology to serve ads that are highly relevant to the content of the site. Google will search through the site content and will then only serve ads that are relevant to the topic of the site. This ensures a higher click through rate than what is normally achievable through other forms of advertising as the ads are so closely related to the content of the page.

Getting started with Google AdSense is very easy. You simply apply to their program, and once accepted, Google provides you with a snippet of HTML code to then place on your web page. Ads start appearing as soon as you upload the changes to your web server.

What can you expect to earn running Google AdSense?

This really depends on the topic of your site and the amount of traffic you recieve. Obviously companies making $500 dollars profit on each sale are will to pay more for a click than a company making $5 dollars. The more popular keywords obviously pay a lot more as well as there is more competition for those keywords.

To get an estimate of what you could earn, let’s say you get 1000 page views a month and the average commission you recieve for each click is 0.50 cents. If we factor in Google’s average click through rate of 1.0% (This is widly regarded as the standard click through rate that can be achieved with AdSense).

1000 x 30 (days) x 1.0% x $0.50 = $150

As you get more visitors you can expect this to go up and up!

There are many people earning thousands of dollars in commissions every month using Google AdSense and there is no reason why you can’t do the same. If you’re really serious about maximising your earning potential with Google AdSense then I suggest having a look at AdSense Videos. Michael Cheney is regarded as one of the Adsense Gurus and I have used and benfited greatly from many of his ideas!

Text-Link-Ads.com

A slightly different take to text link advertising is provided by Text-Link-Ads.com. Rather than working on a PPC basis, you sell text link ads for a set price and they will appear on your site until the advertisers cancels.

TLA values link prices based on a number of factors including your site’s traffic, theme, where the ads will be placed on the page, and link popularity. Google Page Rank and Alexa Rank is also a key metric used when calculating the price. The cost of the ads flucuate, so as a site grows so will the amount you recieve in commissions.

TLA operate on a 50/50 payout percentage, meaning you split the amount the advertiser pays down the middle. This may seem high but in return they provide access to thousands of advertisers looking to place links on your site, saving you time and money hunting them out yourself. All you need to do is place the ad code in your site when you sign up and then just sit back and wait for the monthly payments to arrive.

TLA has some neat tools to workout the link price you can expect to recieve from your text links each month. Text Link Calculator asks for your sites URL, the category and whether the links will be displayed site wide or on a single page. They also ask you to specify where on the page the ads will appear and present you with the price you can expect to recieve each month.

You can also use their Blog Juice Calculator to compare your site to other similiar themed sites.

The are continually pushing the boat out with new and innovative ways of earning money. They have recently released Feed Advertising. This invloves placing text links within your sites feeds and inline advertising, where keywords on your site are sold on a CPC basis. Both these come as plugins for different bloggin platforms.

I’ve been using TLA for nearly two years and I’ve found them to be very helpful, constantly evolving and very prompt with their payments. They continue to expand their advertising model and can only see good things with them in the years ahead.
