Do you want to earn extra high income working just 1 hr/day?

If your answer is yes, then you are at the right place.

Many people earn income from their Blogger blogs. The easiest way to do this is to sign up for an account with AdSense, which is run by Google. After you've signed up for an account, special codes are assigned to your user name or email address. Google AdSense generates content targeted adds; so the topics discussed in your blog will determine the kinds of ads that will appear on your blog. For example, if your blog is about cooking, use the word "cooking" a lot. More than likely, you'll see Google ads about cooking. Follow these steps to start using AdSense with your classic template Blogger account.

Step1

Log in to Blogger.

Step2

On your "Dashboard," you'll see a box titled "Make Money."

Step3

Under that you'll see "Use AdSense to earn money with your blog."

Next to that you'll see a link "New Easy Signup." Click this link.

Step5

On the new page, you'll see "Select Ad Format" and a drop down list.

Step6

Step7

Next you can select the text colors in the ad boxes.

Step8

Once you've finished, click the "Save" button.

Step9

You're done! AdSense ads will now appear on your blog.

How to Earn Money With Google Adsense

Google Adsense is a great way to monetize a website. Whether you have a website of your own or a blog that you run, Google Adsense can earn you a significant income. Understanding the rules and the basics can increase your earning potential. Targeted ads are delivered to your site based on content, and you earn a commission based on several factors.

Step1

Apply for a Google Adsense account. Google will respond to you within a few business days to advise you if you are eligible for an account. Google looks for a well-organized site that's not a duplicate of other websites and may make a decision about the website based on the contents. Read Google's terms of service for Adsense accounts to determine whether or not your site may qualify.

Step2

Add Google Adsense to your website or blog. Many sites are Adsense-ready and are activated by inputting your publisher ID (a unique number Google will give you upon approval) and choosing the type of display you want for your targeted advertising. If you don't know how to add the code to your website or blog, you can often refer to help files with Google or your Web host, or you may need a technical expert to help. Relevant advertising will appear on your site, and if your visitors click on the advertisements, you will earn commission based on a Google formula that is not publicized. Many factors will impact the amount you earn, such as what happened after the visitor clicked on the ad, the amount the ad was worth (some advertisers pay higher ad fees, which results in a higher commission to the publisher) and other factors Google does not disclose.

Step3

Drive traffic to your website or blog so that more people have an opportunity to see the targeted advertisements. You earn money based on not only clicked ads but also the number of page views. The more traffic, the more likely you are to see revenue. Writing good content can bring targeted advertisements that can, on their own, entice a visitor to click.

Step4

Input your pin number when your account reaches $50. When Google sees that your account has reached the $50 earning mark, they will mail, via postal mail, a pin number to you that you must input into their system via directions included with the pin. This assures Google that you are the person you say you are via receiving a physical letter in the mail. This action activates your account to be ready for payment.

Step5

Receive payment when your account reaches $100 in Adsense earnings. Each time your account hits the $100 milestone, Google will initiate their payment cycle. Payments can be received via electronic funds transfer or via a check sent to you through the mail.

How to Increase Adsense Clicks and Earnings

Ahh..the lovely virtual sound of a website visitor clicking on an Adsense ad. Can you hear it? It sounds like this...Ka-CHING! Each pay-per-click Adsense click is a little bit more money in your pocket. But how to encourage more clicks, without running afoul of Google's terms and conditions for proper Adsense behavior? Here's how to optimize your earnings.

Step1

Make sure you're familiar with Google's own suggestions for increasing your Adsense pay-per-click (PPC) revenue. Factors like ad placement, color, size, text or image, and so on will all help determine how often visitors will click on ads. There's no magic formula...what works at one site, might fail miserably at another. Google offers a good discussion of what you should be focused on. See their "Improving Adsense Performance" page for advice on how to maximize your earnings (see Resources, below, for a direct link).

Step2

See how Google does it. They have Adsense ads on some of their own properties. You might be surprised at their choice of ad placement or color schemes, but if it works for Google, it might work for you as well. It may pay to experiment with similar schemes on your own site. To have a look at how Google does it, see Resources, below, and click on the links to Google sites with ads.

Step3

Check from Google Adsense .
Send your visitors in the right direction. It is ***strictly forbidden*** to ask visitors to click on your ads. Nothing will get you bounced out of the Adsense program faster than that. However, you can certainly steer them in the right direction. Let your visitors know of interesting areas around your page -- including areas that are positioned near advertising links. For instance, you might want to take note of my handsome picture in the upper right of this page, and the links below the picture to my other eHow articles (and below all that, of course, are several different forms of advertising that might catch your eye).
Also, see the links in Resources below (wink, wink) for more helpful information.

Step4

Check the context. Always make sure the ads that appear on your pages are relevant to your audience. If you're writing an article about diapers, aimed at new moms, and the ads on the page are for motor oil, well...something is amiss. Tinker with your title, tags and website wording, and make sure the ads make sense for your audience.

Step5

There are other pay-per-click ad services besides Adsense. You may want to consider adding one or more of these to your site as well. See Resources, directly below, for more information on PPC alternatives to Adsense.

How to Sign Up for Adsense and Earn Money at Third-Party Sites

Google's Adsense has traditionally been a way to monetize (earn income from) your own website or blog. But more and more sites are using Adsense in "third party" revenue sharing arrangements. Here's how you can get your Adsense account, to take advantage of the many opportunities it provides.

Step1

***Take a look around***

This eHow page contains numerous types of ads, both in, and around the article. Some are listed as "Ads by Google". These are Adsense advertisements. The ads are intended to be context-relevant. That is, if the article is about cars, the ads should be about cars as well. An article about mortages will generate ads from banks, and so on. The ads are generated by a small bit of HTML code that is provided once a site signs up with the Adsense program.

Step2

***How Adsense Generates Income***

Anyone who owns a website or a blog can sign up with Adsense, to monetize their site. Everytime a visitor clicks on an ad, the advertiser pays a fee, some of which goes to Google, and some of which goes to the website owner (in this case, eHow). For instance, if a visitor to eHow clicked on an ad for a Visa credit card, Visa would pay (I'm making these numbers up) fifty cents. Of that 50 cents (still making things up), Google would keep 20 cents and give eHow the rest. eHow, generous company that it is, would further split the income, so eHow keeps (yep...making this up) 15 cents, and pays the author 15 cents.

Everybody's happy in this wonderfully capitalistic system. Visa gets potential customers, eHow earns a good income, the writers earn a decent amount, and Google gradually takes over the whole world.

Step3

***How Third Parties Share Income***

eHow pays its writers through PayPal. In this set up, there is no need for an individual writer to have an Adsense account, but they do have to have a PayPal account.

At other sites, writers are paid directly through Adsense, so in this case, it is necessary for the writer to have an Adsense account of their own. Adsense income is paid once a month, either by check, or by electronic transfer to a bank account.

Step4

Xomba ***Xomba***

For instance, Xomba is a third-party site that, like eHow, earns money through Adsense ads, and shares its advertising income with authors. However, the writers are paid directly through Adsense. The ads at Xomba contain a code that identifies the writer's account, and credits them for every click. You can see this in action at one of my Xomba articles (see Resource links, below, for a direct link).

Step5

Google Knol ***Google Knol***

Google Knol is another site where writers can directly earn Adsense income as long as they have an Adsense account (see Resource links, below, for more about Knol...it's new, and it looks pretty exciting). Any clicks on the advertisements at Knol will be credited directly to the writer's Adsense account.

Step6

Flixya.com ***Flixya.com***

Check out Flixya, another third-party site that passes along some of the Adsense income to writers.

Step7

***What Are You Waiting For?***

As you can see, you'll need to have an Adsense account of your own if you want to either (a) put Adsense ads on your own site or blog, or (b) particpate in third-party programs like Knol, Xomba, or Flixya. To get started, just head to the Adsense sign-up page...see the Resource links directly below for the Adsense link.
