It is critical for you to understand that an online business based on a sales page and a business based on generating revenue from advertising are fundamentally different, and therefore you do not build these businesses in the same way. If you have a website and you are trying to make money from displaying Adsense ads, you will not succeed at this if you try to build this business the same way you would make money with a sales page. So in order to understand the main principles that distinguish your Adsense business from anything else, you need to know the two most common mistakes that most people will make that end up making them little to no money with their Adsense sites. The first big mistake that many people will make is that they try to make money right away once they are approved by Google to display Google ads on their website, before they have any significant traffic visiting their site. Many webmasters are guilty of this mistake at one point, but let me remind you that a mistake only becomes a failure when you fail to learn from it and fail to correct it. The solution to this mistake is to focus only on building up the traffic levels of your website before you even think about putting a single ad on any of your pages, for at least the first three months of promoting your website and ideally the first six months or longer.When you take this essential step, and you build up your traffic levels to a high level where you begin receiving thousands of unique visitors per day using search engine optimization and link building, it will then become apparent to you what one of the principle differences between a pay-per-click advertising business and a sales business is: A business based on direct sales can be built up incrementally over time, whereas your Adsense business must be a "switch" that you can turn on and off by adding or deleting advertisements from your pages, meaning you must have high traffic levels before you even think about putting ads on any pages of your site.The second mistake that webmasters will make is building a website that is too light on original, valuable content, and then expecting that website to be popular and successful. You can still get traffic if your content is not completely unique, as long as it is valuable and presented in a way that is convenient for your visitors. If you really want your website to be as successful as possible however, you need to create new and valuable content related to your industry, and you need to combine this with waiting for at least a few months to build up some real traffic and links to your website before you think about trying to make money by putting Adsense ads on your website.
