If you're looking at Google's AdSense programme, you're probably wondering how much money you can make with it. You're probably thinking that it's not as much as traditional advertising programmes. Of course, Google keeps strict records of how much AdWords advertisers spend for each click directed to their website. The same goes for the revenue AdSense banner owners earn from their websites.
Although there are no official figures, there are many stories circulating on the Internet about how much money a website can earn with AdSense. Many people (illegally) reveal how much money they have earned with AdSense. There are reports of people earning over 1,000 dollars per month with AdSense. There are also reports of people making more than $100,000.00 each month, but such claims are hard to trust.
The truth is that if you have a modest website that you want to self-fund and don't want to pay for its upkeep out of your own pocket, you can probably do so with AdSense. AdSense is also beneficial for those who maintain a large number of websites. Even if these sites don't generate much traffic on their own, every click counts and you can earn a lot of money this way. And that just goes to show that quantity can be just as important as quality.
There's no way to know how much money you'll make with Google AdSense, but you can get an idea before you start by considering a few factors. The first is the number of daily visits you receive. While it's impossible to say for sure, you can generally expect to make a lot of money if you get a lot of clicks every day.
It also depends on the type of website you have. You will get a lot of banner clicks if your website is about something popular (music, sex, anything). The CTR is a coefficient related to this (click-through-ratio). In layman's terms, this means that if a large percentage of visitors to your website click on the advert, you will earn more money.
The easiest way to achieve this is to place some popular articles on your website and make sure that the links also point to popular articles. Then there is the position and number of adverts on your website. Whilst you shouldn't overdo it, a large number of links will certainly increase your revenue as a website. Ad placement is a mixture of art and science. People tend to look in certain places and ignore others. If a website author and/or webmaster understands this, they can do a lot to increase their AdSense revenue.
Overall, the amount of money you make with AdSense depends on a variety of factors. However, if you have a website with fascinating material and/or a variety of pages and receive a lot of traffic on a daily basis, you can bet that you will make a lot of money with AdSense. Even if you don't fall into one of the above categories, AdSense is worth using because it's easy to set up and can often help support the site financially while serving as a nice extra to get you through the month.
