subject: Is Google Adsense Website Monetization A Good Business Model? [print this page] Today I look at a number of reasons why the Google Adsense program is frowned upon by many online blog owners, and why this is a monumental mistake.
Google Adsense is the advertising program whereby Google places contextual ads on your site or blog and for which you get paid per click by each visitor to your site.
Many website owners do not exploit its potential to its fullest citing the low payout per click as a reason and the understandable lure to the fatter, juicier commissions that can be earned by affiliate marketing, either of physical products or electronic products.
Here are 3 great reasons to reconsider your approach to making money online:
1.Whatever income you manage to generate is paid directly into your bank account by one of the most successful and largest companies in the world. No need to deal with shady affiliate vendors, some of whom get up to all sorts of practices such as siphoning off the traffic that you drive to them to their own email list.
2.No matter what niche or market your blog caters for, there are almost certainly going to be advertisers for it. And the power of a highly targeted advertisement on your blog showing say a great price for the product or service that your reader has just read an article on is incredibly effective.
3.Passive income-Adsense income is truly passive income. There is no list building, no preselling for affiliate products and no refunds or queries from customers. They click, you get paid.
The key to building a good Adsense income is to create multiple blogs across a wide range of niches. These blogs may only contain a few pages but the opportunity to create blogs in obscure, uncompetitive markets means that you can obtain good search engine rankings easily and visitors.
Put simply, visitors mean clicks mean income for you. There are many smart entrepreneurs who are making great income online setting up small sites or blogs which cater for the most obscure, unsexy products who derive a nice income from each site.
But the key to a great income is to build a lot of sites and let each one be a silent money maker which individually wont amount to a hill of beans..but collectively will see you making a great passive income in a matter of months.
