Blogging With AdSense


By Clarence Wang

There is a lot to be said for Google's Adsense advertising program. There's the way they match the ads to the content of your website. That gives you maximum clicks without annoying your users. There's the flexibility of changing the way the ads look. That makes your ads attract attention without turning your site into billboard.

And then there are the fat checks, of course, delivered month after month. That gives you almost anything you want.

But probably the best you almost thing about the ability to earn good revenue with AdSense is that anyone can do it. You don't need any specialized knowledge. You don't need anything... except a website.

Now, it's very easy to put up a website these days. You can buy a domain, choose a template and put it on a hosting company's server in a very short space of time. All you have to do next is fill the pages with good quality content and bring in traffic.

Easy, right?

Sure it's easy, but it does require a little bit of work and for those who have never built a site before, that process can look a bit of an obstacle.

The solution is blogging. Putting up a blog and using it for AdSense advertising is simple, fast and can give you at least as much as revenue as building a conventional website.

Blogs originally started as online diaries but they quickly developed into so much more. There are no frills, bells or whistles. You just get page after gage -- usually on someone else's server - to put all the text and pictures you want.

You can write about anything you like from your family life to what's happening in your workplace to what you think about politics, sport religion or anything else that takes your fancy.

You will be amazed at what people want to read.

If a topic interests you, you can be certain it's going to interest someone else. Those people will come to you blog, read your comments and views and click on you ads.

You'll be getting paid by Google to talk about your favorite subject.

Making money doesn't get any better than that.

But what makes blogging such an attractive option for people who want to make money with AdSense is that you can be up and running in minutes. Because blogs themselves are so simple - you can think of them as online notebooks that anyone can read - you don't have to worry about layout or which pages you need to build or even what you site should be about.

All you have to do is select the blogging service you want to use, pick one of the professional-looking templates they have available and write the first thing that comes into your head.

You can update you blog with a new entry as often as you wish, join blogging circles to bring plenty of interested visitors in quickly and of course, optimize your AdSense ads to blend them into the site.

And Google loves blogs. The company loves the fact that the pages change frequently. They love the fact that a good blog builds a loyal fan base. And they love the fact that most blogs focus on one particular topic.

All of that means good search engine rankings, well contextualized ads and plenty of good revenue that can start flowing in within just days of launch.

Oh... and did I mention that many blogging services are free?
