Google Adsense Exposed

Joining Google Adsense is the easiest way to make money online. Is it? No doubt, Google pays you when visitors to your site click on an Adsense ad. But do people really click on Adsense ads. For each 100 visitors, you may not get more than 20-30 clicks.

Moreover, the earnings per click will be like a few cents. In order to make a few thousand dollars each month using Google Adsense, you need to develop a lot of traffic to your site. Most of that traffic will get wasted.

Here lies the trick. You need a lot of traffic to succeed with Google Adsense. Building traffic is not an easy game. In my opinion, traffic is the most important thing a new comer to the world of internet marketing should learn.

Not enough traffic? Many people will tell you in order to make money with Adsense you need to focus on niches where payout is good. These are niches like Credit Repair, Mortgage and Student Loans where people like to pay up to $10-20 per click on Google Adwords.

Hey, these advertisers are paying this money for getting a click on the Adwords Search. Many will pay $2-5 only when advertising on Google Content Network. Google Adsense is the content network.

Many know that traffic on the content network is not targeted, so they dont bid high on the content network. Most of the money, Google keeps as its commission before it pays you. Google never likes to tell how much its percentage is. It only says the payment to publishers is fair.

In the end, you only get between $ 0.5-1 for each click. Getting traffic to a high competition niche is also not easy as many people are competing.

Dont you think you are wasting traffic with Adsense when you can get a much higher payout by displaying affiliate links using affiliate programs like Clickbank, Commission Junction etc?

You can also use CPA Marketing. People make a lot of money with CPA Marketing. CPA companies can pay you $2-5 for getting a form with two to three fields filled. Even for getting a zip code submitted, these networks pay you like $2.

You never know Google people. Google can suddenly terminate your Adsense account for no reason by simply accusing you of clicking on the ads yourself. Can you appeal? No, there is no appeal to the Adsense termination notice.
