Why You Should Use Google Adsense

| January 24, 2011 | Comments (16)

Undoubtedly, you’ve heard about Google’s AdSense and you are thinking about giving it a go. But is it really worth placing an AdSense banner on your site?

The answer is a definite yes. You could always have some other banner on your site, or even use some search of affiliate ad program and that would probably make you some money, given of course that your site enjoys a healthy amount of visitors. However with affiliate marketing, it is expected that the visitor from your website completes a sale before you are remunerated.

But that’s nowhere near what you get for using AdSense. There are people who earn in excess of 100.000 dollars per year by using AdSense. And it doesn’t just stop with making more money. Firstly, the ads are text only. That means they’re by far less obtrusive on your visitors then your average, flashy banner that’s designed to catch the eye of the visitor.

Sure, you’ll have to ensure they get better placement, so as to be noticed but despite that they don’t bother viewer’s as much as traditional ads. Think about the many sites you’ve seen using pop-ups, floating banners and many other schemes that will have visitors screaming in anger every time they visit the said website. You can actually do better then that, annoying people less and still making an amount of money.

Secondly, the ads are generated based on the contents of your site automatically. When you use an affiliate ad program, you have to specify certain categories that your sites belong to.

However, if any page on your site falls outside of these categories, the banners aren’t targeted anymore. And what that means is that you’re potentially showing ads to people who don’t have any interest in them and that can lead to inefficiencies.

With Google AdSense that just about never happens: the ads present on your site will always be in sync with whatever your visitors are interested in and that adds to your site’s value and to the revenue it produces.

What’s more, the look of these banners and their size is customizable, which means they will feel more integrated with the rest of your site’s content, which brings an increase in your site’s overall visual quality as opposed to a traditional approach.

For many people, there’s also a great problem with finding people to advertise on their site as well. AdSense is clearly the easiest solution available to this problem today.

It’s free to join the AdSense program and it almost takes no time at all. The potential database of websites from AdWords is larger then anything you might encounter from any competitor, numbering over 150.000 users+. This means as more people compete the CPC or cost per click for search terms will inevitably rise.

Also, setting up AdSense on your site is a breeze, and you can complete the whole process in less then an hour. It takes a lot less to do then any form of affiliate advertising which is yet another reason to choose the easy AdSense approach.

All you need to do is add an AdSense banner on your website (other then registering with the program of course) is to copy & paste a few lines and you’re all done, you get to choose where the banners go, how large they are and how they integrate with the rest of your site.

For any webmaster out there, that’s a killer scheme because it lets you draw the line between your site’s usability level and the amount of advertising you wish to have. Some people need the money badly while others just keep AdSense running to pay for the hosting of their website.

AdSense is a great advertising program because a lot of thought has went into making it “just work for everyone”. It works great for the people who use AdWords, for the webmasters using AdSense, and most importantly for the visitors of the websites.

  2. I like Google AdSense program very much, both as a visitor of sites where it’s applied and as a site owner. As a common user I like it because it shows always only relevant ads and sometimes I find some really good ones among them. And as a webmaster I like that it’s very simple in use and doesn’t bother neither me, nor my visitors.

    this is a nice marketing blog. i learn a lot from your blog.

  5. Excellent and informative article! I advertise pretty heavily via Adsense and have generated a ton of profitable traffic as a result. I had previously used bidvertiser before switching to Adsense and I was constantly running into problems with ads being placed on low-quality pages and/or pages that weren’t relevant. I’ve never had that problem with Adsense as you’re given a great deal of freedom in terms of how and where your ads render. In my opinion it’s the best contextual ad broker on the web.

  6. You can use it, but beware the effect it has on your brand if you’re trying to run a business.

    Although you have provided a big list of advantages of using google adsense, I still think that it isn’t as good (profitable) as it my seem after reading your post. But at least you have provided the detailed description.

    I wholly agree with the author regarding what he has said about text only ads, pop-ups, floating banners and other schemes. Using video tutorials regarding Adsense program will be a good idea for newcomers.

  9. I am going to get an Adsense account. Most people have advised me. Hopefully it works for me.

    I’m prety sick and tired of Google Ad Sense & AdWords. They are saying the the min. click value is 0.02$, so why we usualy got 0.01$ per click? Can anybody tell me?

  11. I really, really, really love Google AdSense. It is truly amazing and I have been making lots of money by monetizing my website with AdSense. Seriously.

    I believe every Internet Marketer should try out AdSense. I absolutely love it. Been using for about two years, and I’m still making lots of money by doing so.

    The only downside with AdSense is that you may get banned. And once do — you don’t get to know why.

    And once you do get banned — you’ll never be able to get unbanned which sucks even more. So be careful! :)

  12. Sure I agree that adsense is better than any other type of PPC because it is reliable and convenient. But IMHO, to earn good money through adsense requires a lot of work.

  13. This far, I already compare the ads from many advertising provider. I think Adsense still the highest profitable for ppc model ads.

  14. Thanks Alot for Oeuvre Specified a Useable and Newsy Stake, I tally Heard Roughly Google Adsense But Never judge of Using it for my Website. Once Again Thinks Alot for gift me New Instruction.

    Yeah, Google Adsense gives the most money and has the most advertisers. It way better than any other ppc. I have tried many. After Google are chitika and infolinks, you could try them if you do not want to use adsense or if you need more ads :) .

    But only google can show the most relevant ads. Google is using more and more tricks to show the most relevant ads. Sometimes I visit a site just once, and then everywhere I got his ad is there. Try it. Visit SeoMoz for example and you will see. Also domain.com and others :) .

  16. I’ve always preferred Google adsense. But, when someone asks me why, I can’t answer him. But, after reading your article I know what yo say. Thank you so much for sharing this.
