Below is an AdSense
check I scanned from 2006. At the time, it was the largest check I had received
in the three years I had been in the program.
I blurred out my
address, account number and bank info for privacy reasons, of course.
Note: Google now pays me by direct
deposit, so I no longer have paper checks to show. That is why the screenshot
is so old.
Here's a more recent
screenshot. It's important to note that this is from this site, my blog,
Website Babble, Napturally Curly and three YouTube channels. This is not from just one
website.
This is one of my
highest payments from AdSense, but I will be honest and say this is way above
average for most people.
My earnings aren't
typically this high anymore due to all the Google changes, but I still earn
what most would consider a yearly salary from AdSense.
What is Google AdSense?
AdSense is a nice way to
monetize your traffic, and very easy to implement. It's one of my top earners
and has been since 2003. (See the video about my earnings further down.)
Google.com earns most of
its revenue by allowing other website owners to advertise on their search
results pages.
You see these ads
displayed above the free/organic results and along the right side of the page
on Google.com.
These are called Sponsored Results, and the advertisers are paying a
certain amount of money per click for these ads.
It's an auction-based
system that allows advertisers to compete for those spots. Whomever has the
highest bid and most "quality" ad, gets the top spot and so forth.
Now you can earn a share of the revenue that
Google earns from AdWords by displaying these same text or image ads on your
site. When someone clicks, you earn roughly 68% of the click and Google
gets the rest.
This program is called AdSense.
It's a great program
that can help you drive additional income to your website -- especially if it's
mostly content based.
So if you are one of
those people that doesn't like the idea of paying for a site, this is an
excellent way to earn your money back and then some.
Please make sure you
read this entire article. AdSense is not a get-rich-quick scheme and it takes a
lot of work to make money. Don't think that just because you join, you are
guaranteed to make big money.
