| Making Dollars and Cents from Google's New AdSense |
By Merle http://MCPromotionsPress.com
Google's done it again with the recent launch of their
new program, "AdSense."
This program gives website owners the ability to generate
cash simply by displaying AdWords Ads on their pages.
You must first apply to be approved into the program; then
they give you some code to put on your web pages that displays
their"Adwords Text Ads" on your site. The ads can be displayed
vertically or horizontally, whichever works better with your
site's format. You'll also have the ability to customize the
appearance of the ads, choosing from preset color palettes
so the ads will blend with your website.
You're paid so much every time someone clicks on any of
the displayed ads. Google uses its technology to decide
the content of your web pages so only relevant ads are shown.
If you're worried about showing ads that may compete with
your own services or products there is a filtering system
you can take advantage of.
The buzz on the Net is you can make some decent income if
you already have some decent traffic. No one knows exactly
how much, since Google restricts participants from discussing
exact results they are having with others. You'll be paid
every 30 days as long as you reach the 100.00 minimum
payout.
Adsense works best on information/resource sites that have
a lot of great content. Google does not accept sites dealing
with profanity/gambling/hate or violence. If your site deals
with any of these themes don't bother applying. They also
don't like pop ups so make sure you remove any you may have
on your site before applying.
For a quick review of what's acceptable, see
< http://google.com/adsense/policies >. You'll know within
24 to 48 hours if you're accepted, and you'll be notified
by email where to go and pick up your codes.
There are two different ways to add the Adwords ads to
your website pages:
Banner Format- Displays 2 ads in a horizontal format like
a banner layout
Skyscraper Format: Displays up to 4 ads vertically in the
right or left page margin. The majority of sites I've seen
prefer this method, usually placing the ads on the right
hand side of their webpages.
To apply for Adsense go to
< http://www.google.com/adsense/application-1 > and fill
out the short application. There's no commitment on your
end and you can remove the ads and cancel at anytime.
There's really no set website length or traffic required
to be accepted, but the rumor online seems to be you must
have a minimum of 50 unique visitors a day and a minimum
site size of 20 pages with good content. Again, these stats
are not set in stone just popular believe by many of the
"experts." For a complete overview, see
< http://google.com/adsense/overview >
If you're really interested in running Adsense on your
website but are hesitant since you don't know what kind
of ads will be displayed there, I found a really cool
online tool at
< http://www.about-adsense.com/adsense-web-tool.html >
Just type in your url and you'll be shown an example of
the types of ads that will appear on your site.
There are some other very helpful sites that will help
you to understand Google's new Adsense:

Dr. Ralph Wilson has written an excellent article
As you can see, Google's Adsense can help you generate
a little extra income from your website and at the same
time may help your credibility purely by association.
These two factors together make very good (Ad)sense.
