Hi,

Yes, give Google AdSense a go.

It costs nothing but a little time and trouble to start experimenting with AdSense. If your website is able to attract enough qualified traffic in a specialised area that AdWords advertisers are willing to bid reasonable prices on, then you can earn a tidy amount that makes the trouble well worth while.

There are lots of technical aspects about AdSense to learn about to help you improve your income, and lots of experimenting that you will need to do on your own site.

We added a page just about AdSense to our site at http://www.cleverhome.com.au/AdSense.shtml . As we discuss there, it shouldn't be only about earning income with AdSense. It should also be about providing an enhanced service and experience to your website visitors, and (last of all) providing qualified leads of potential value to your AdSense/AdWords advertisers.

Go ahead and give it a go!

Its against the terms of service to divulge such information and can get an account banned. Suffice to say some are making up to 25k per month, but thats the top dogs such as Joel Comm. If you make 100$ a month you are considered to be doing well with Adsense. With a high traffic site you can earn that per day but it all depends if your visitors are kind enough to click your advertisements on the page if there interested in going to that site for further information. Bottom Line - do it and you will be well rewarded, speaking from personal experience.

We can't reveal the amount. You can be making good money from adsense if you have a good site.

What kind of site works best with adsense?

Good content site in a niche category works best with adsense.

A LOT.

Adsense has given me a GREAT way to monetize and earn from my website. Chechk my profile for my website -- we are even doing beta tests for them for several new programs.

In terms of earning money on Adsense, your mileage varies. One website with the 10,000 uniques a day can earn $50 a month while another may earn $5,000. It is not easy to predict how much you will earn from Adsense. The only way you can learn about how your site will perform with Adsense is through trying it.

The amount you can earn will depend on the

1. Responsiveness of audience to the ads = A travel website that provides information on travel to Spain will attract visitors looking for ways to arrange their travel and spend money on their vacation to Spain. Your site provides the info, but the ads will provide hotels, travel agencies, tourist destinations, car rentals -- ads that are likely to get the attention of the users of your site. This is a site that will most likely do well with Adsense. However, if you are a gaming website where the main purpose of the user is to play games on your site, then Adsense will not perform as well.

2. Ad format = some types of ads do better than others depending on your content and layout. In our case, large rectangles in the middle of the content is the best, while leaderboards do not generate as much as income. Skys are the worst for us. Experiment and measure the results via channels and see which formats work best for you.

3. Ad placement - check Google's heat map as they have tested where the best placements are https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=17954&ctx=en:search&query=adsense+heat+map&topic=0&type=f

4. Ad colors - sometimes ads blended into the content works wonders, but sometimes ads that contrast your site colors work best

5. Number of ad units on a page = we are allowed maximum of 3 ads + 1 ad links + 1 search box on a page. Maximize the allowed number based on the resulting look of your page (you don't want an overkill of ads). Users going to your page and reading your content may ignore the banner or rectangle at the top of the page, but may click on the ad at the bottom of the article

6. Smartpricing - the big unknown in Adsense. No one knows how this actually works. But it can affect the pricing of the ads on your site. If the advertiser paid for $0.50/click - but your site is smartpriced - then the cost may be discounted lower (e.g. $0.25). So you may try to develop a site based on high paying keywords but if smartpricing gets to you, then you may not get as much per click as what you are expecting from your keywords.

Here is Google's explanation of smart pricing https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9562&query=smart+pricing&topic=0&type=f

Google's smart pricing feature automatically adjusts the cost of a keyword-targeted content click based on its effectiveness compared to a search click. So if our data shows that a click from a content page is less likely to turn into actionable business results -- such as online sales, registrations, phone calls, or newsletter signups -- we reduce the price you pay for that click.

Experiment with the factors above (except smartpricing, which you can't control), and see which combination works best. Remember though that not all sites do well with Adsense - even if you get gazillions of traffic but your visitors are not interested in looking for ways to spend their money, they won't be interested in your ads and won't click.
