How do you join Google Adsense?

To join Adsense you will need an already operative website. If you've got that check out the programme policies to make sure that your site is in compliance with the terms.

Once you're happy with your site follow this link, click on the "Click Here to Apply" button, fill in your details and wait for your approval email. You will normally receive this between 24 and 72 hours after your application.

What If My Application Is Rejected?

Sites do get rejected by Google but this is not necessarily the end of your experiment with Adsense.

If you've read the polcies and are sure that your site doesn't breach any of the terms send Google an email asking them why you have not been accepted into the program. They will normally respond.

If you think that your site fails one of the pre-requisites then once you've made the necessary modifications either resubmit your application or respond to your rejection email with details of the modifications you've made.

Alternativelly, if you have more than one website submit a new application using one of your other websites in the application form.

Can I sign up for more than one account?

No. Publishers are not permitted to maintain multiple AdSense accounts under the same payee name.

How much can u earn through Adsense?

The Google ads you are able to display on your content pages can be either cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-1000-impressions (CPM) ads, while AdSense for search results pages show exclusively CPC ads. This means that advertisers pay either when users click on ads, or when the advertiser's ad is shown on your site.

You'll receive a portion of the amount paid for either activity on your website. Although Google Adsense Program does not disclose the exact revenue share, their goal is to enable publishers to make as much or more than they could with other advertising networks.

Once you're a part of Google AdSense, you can view your earnings at any time by logging in to your account at https://www.google.com/adsense and clicking the Reports tab. You'll be able to see the total number of page and ad unit impressions, ad clicks, clickthrough rate, effective CPM, and your total earnings so you can get an idea of how well the program is performing for you and how much you can expect to earn over time in the program.

Adsense Publisher earnings range from less than $1 a day on one website to over $10,000 a day across a network of websites. The reality is that making money with Adsense has very little to do with Adsense and has everything to do with building websites that target and attract a market. Once you've got people, Adsense is made for monetizing them.

Hence, succeeding with Adsense is largely tied to being successful online and requires that you learn and develop your website building, keyword research, niche market finding, copywriting, search engine optimization and link building skills.

What is Google Adsense?

Adsense is a contextual advertising program by Google which allows website publishers to generate revenue from their sites by placing ads from the Google Adwords network on them. Each time these ads are clicked on by one of your visitors you earn a share of the revenue that Google makes from charging that particular advertiser.

Below is a summary of how the program works and the steps you will need to take to implement it.

1. You join Adsense and on acceptance into the program become an Adsense Publisher.

You will now have your own Adsense account in which you will be able to create the ad code to place on your website and monitor the results of your campaigns.

2. Create your custom Adsense javascript code:

You can do this by logging into your account inside which you will be able to choose the particular ad format and ad color that you want to place on your website. It will generate a javascript code which you place on your site.

3. You can then place this code inside your website template:

Make sure you've chosen an ad format which will fit into the space available in your template. Once you have uploaded your page to your server the Adsense ads will automatically be generated.

4. Google's content matching technology will deliver ads that are relevant to the page content you have placed the code on:

It may take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour but Google will start delivering ads that match your content. This is the real perk of Adsense - ads that match the content of your page so that they are relevant to what your visitors are reading and thinking about at the time and so more likely to be clicked on.

In Google's own words:

"Google AdSense™ automatically delivers text and image ads that are precisely targeted to your site and your site content—ads so well-matched, in fact, that your readers will actually find them useful"
