Will Google Adsense make you rich

So you are looking for ways to make money online? And, if you have gone very far in your search, you have undoubtedly seen all of the websites out there preaching about how they can show you a way to "make millions overnight". If you are anything like me then you have probably had a few weak moments where you almost believed what they said. I know that it all sounds great. Unfortunately, 99% of what you read on those quickly thrown together, one page websites, showing you pictures of their Ferraris that they paid cash for, is bogus.

The one thing that is true though is that you can make money using the internet. It won't happen overnight and no, you won't get rich, but you will bring in some cash. If you do it right. The best, and in my opinion only, place to start making your money online is Google Adsense. It is a free service and very easy to sign up for. Another good thing is the fact that you don't have to have your own website to use and make money with Adsense. Once you have your own account with Google, and it's linked into AdSense, all you have to do is sign up with a few other websites, HubPages being one of them and you start raking in the dough......no, not yet, that was just a joke.

Once that first step is done the real work begins. Here is a list of sites to join if you want to see money start showing up.

• HubPages (of course)
• Info Barrel
• WebAnswers (one of my favorites)
• Blogger
• YouSayToo

And a quick internet search will bring up a list of other sites you can get started on. The real question is, how do I make the money start coming in? I know just signing up isn't going to make me anything. Read on for some tips on how to maximize your income with AdSense of revenue sharing sites.

When it comes to making money online, content is the most important aspect. This is a case of the saying "quality over quantity". Just getting on a website and writing won't get you anywhere if you don't produce quality work. No, you don't have to be a professional writer or a genius. But you do have to know what you are talking about. If you feel like you want to write about something or answer someone's question in an attempt to bring in money, make sure it is a topic you are well versed in. If it is something you are marginally aware of, then a little time researching first is time well spent. The was Adsense works is fairly simple. When you go to a website, you see "blocks" of links that direct you to other websites where you can purchase items, sign up for memberships, etc. These ads always seem to be relevant to whatever you are reading about. This is not by accident. Google "crawls" the content on websites and places ads specific to what it finds on that site. You make money when someone clicks on an ad that has your specific publisher ID in it. The amount you make differs depending on what keywords created that ad. This is why having good, well thought out content is important. The more relevant the ads in your content, the better chance there is that your readers will click through. Here are some tips to help ensure that you get better ad placement and higher click through rates.

• Make sure your content makes sense
• Using "keywords" is important. This helps the search engines find your writings
• Diversify. Just signing up and writing on one site will not really get you anywhere. The more sites you are on the quicker the money comes in.
• Do not use "texting" or "instant messaging" terminology, the search engines don't recognize it
• Link to other sites. If possible, make sure that your writing has links to other sites on it, this helps in searches. The higher your content ranks in searches, the more traffic you will have, and the more traffic you have the more money you will make.
• When you are on "question and answer" sites, do not use one word answers. These make your relevance drop quickly and will greatly harm your chances of making money.
• Do not expect to make money overnight. In all reality it will take quite a while to really see money, but you can build residual income with this method and it works.
• Do not expect to become a millionaire using Google AdSense. All of the people who are showing you their AdSense accounts with "5 figure a day income" are probably lying. Google is smart enough that they would look closely at an account like that and probably shut it down.
• The most important part is to have fun. It is very enjoyable to get online, become a part of different communities, share your knowledge, and learn from others.
