Make Money using Adsense, it's easy

Can I use the Google Adsense Program if I Do Not Have a Personal Website?

You don't have to have your own website to use Google Adsense. Google doesn't usually approve personal pages but that is not written in stone. Consult Google Adsense support pages for more information on what kinds of pages are acceptable. If selling a product or service doesn't appeal to you, you might consider blogging.

Blogging initially meant web log but has gradually come into its own. There are as many different kinds of blogs as there are blogs themselves. A blog can be like a cyberjournal in that you make daily â€oejournalâ€? entries or it can be more like a newsletter set up to inform or communicate with other people. There are several blogging sites in cyberspace that will allow you to create your own blog pages and have targeted Google Adsense ads running on them.

A few of the most popular :

- Writingup.com
- Blogger.com
- Bloggerparty.com

You can also search blogsearch.google.com for an extensive list of blogs. Not all of these carry Google Adsense ads and if you're going to write a blog you may as well make some money at it. Look around and you'll find the perfect site for your Google Adsense ads to nest.

How to Promote Your Blog When You Are Using it to Earn Google Adsense Dollars

Promote your site or blog. You could write the great American novel and if there's little or no traffic to your site, you won't make any money. Not only that, but no one will know what a great writer you are.

There's several ways to promote your blog.

- Include the URL in your email signature. Now you've just invited everyone you email to read your blog.
- Link to other sites and ask the webmasters to link to yours. Network!
- Read other blogs and notice who is getting the most reads and comments. What are they writing about?
- Comment on other people's blogs but only if it is sincere. This will increase your overall traffic as you will pique others' curiosity and they will want to read your blogs.
- Write a newsletter and offer a free email subscription to your blog.
- Put a Referral button on your site.
- Put an Adsense for Search button on your site.

Why Do I Have to Get Approved for the Google Adsense Program

It's not really about you. Google has standards to which they adhere and there are certain sites that they don't want their advertiser's ads on. Check the Program Policies for an exhaustive list of what kind of content sites are not acceptable. For the most part, they do not allow ads to be placed on any site that has excessive profanity. This is probably the hardest one to decipher as the word "excessive" could mean one thing to a publisher and another thing altogether to the Google Adsense program. To be on the safe side, if you notice more than a couple instances of profanity on a site you are considering using for the Google Adsense program, you might want to consider another site.

Sites that contain ads for beer, liquor or tobacco products are not allowed to participate in the Google Adsense program.

Sites that promote hate or racist attitudes are not allowed to participate in the Google Adsense program.

If the site you are considering promotes gambling, drugs, even prescription drugs then it is not suitable for the Google Adsense program.

A good guideline to go by might be if a site is family oriented. That may not cover everything but it's a starting place. Again, check the Program Policies for more information.

Why Your Should Not Pay for Your Own Blog Site

If you already have a website that showcases your wares or you've been thinking about getting one, that's great. Since you're working on building a business anyway, you can only profit more by implementing Google Adsense on your site. As long as it conforms to Google Adsense Program Policies of course.

If, however, blogging is your interest, I say stick with the most popular blogging site you know. Or even two or three of them. Why? Traffic. Lots of it. Blogging on an already populated site versus dreaming up your own blog site is like the difference between 5:00 traffic in New York City and an old dusty country road. Not only do the owners of writingup.com, bloggerparty.com and others like it bring in the traffic, they even help you make money when you bring in more traffic.

Remember what they say in real estate: location, location, location.
