Is Google AdSense right for your site? AdSense is a great way to to add another source of additional revenue to your site. But it may not be right for every site.

If you have a retail site, you may not want AdSense on your pages.Although you can block sites from appearing on your pages, it will be difficult to keep all of your competitors out of the AdSense
ads.

Also, there is no reason to put AdSense on a brand new site with little, if any traffic. Put effort into marketing your site and then you can put the AdSense on. Use Google Analytics to watch the traffic. Once you are getting several hundred page views per week, you can then try AdSense. (Google doesn’t care, but some people say Yahoo may penalize new sites which have AdSense on them.
This issue is not a known fact, but probably it’s better to be safe
than sorry.)

Remember that any site can work well with AdSense IF the site has traffic. The more traffic the site has, the better AdSense will work. It is just that simple! Therefore, success with AdWords depends on Internet marketing skills.

It is all about how many targeted eyeballs see your site! If your site is about dogs, you need to drive people to it who have an interest in dogs. If dog lovers come to your site, some of them will click on the AdSense ads. If they don’t care for dogs, they will be gone before they even see the AdSense ads. Therefore, not only does your site need traffic, it MUST be focused and quality traffic!

You already know I am not one to hype and make OUTRAGEOUS CLAIMS about ANYTHING.

That is why I am reluctant to even talk about this in this way.
However, I want to share the success I am having with Google AdSense.
ANYONE can do this.

I built a total of about 12 niche sites over the past several years. Once built, I spend very little time with them. I have optimized them and they rank reasonably well in the search engines…most on the first page.

With these sites, Google sends me a check each month which covers our
mortgage, house insurance, light bill, and we even have money left over.

AdSense really is just a hobby of mine. I spend very little time on it
now but still receive the nice checks each month since my sites rank well.

You can see a picture of a recent check at the link below.

Here are the steps I used to do it:

Find a niche product which has good click prices with AdSense.
There are TONS of them!

I used SEO concepts as I created the pages.

This is very important.
Before you begin, you must learn SEO.

I threw together the pages in a semi-attractive way…nothing fancy
needed.

I submitted their URL’s to about 20 different directories for
Google to take notice.

I did not put AdSense on the pages until they were getting
several hundred visits per day. I think AdSense showing too early might
hurt Yahoo rankings…at least some believe so.

Once a month I take the Google check to the bank. Yes, I could
get it direct deposit, but I like seeing checks from Google!

Ok, there it is…My short but sweet description of just one of the
Internet marketing methods I use!

Some of my clients have, or are working on, many dozens of sites. Others are focused on just one. Which model is best for you? There is no correct answer which fits every marketer; it depends on individual personalities. There is no wrong or right method. Those that opt for many sites can be just as successful as those who only own one. I will list here some of the pros and cons of each model.

The pros of many sites:

There is safety in diversification. If one site tanks for some reason, no big deal…you have a dozen others to fall back on. – Many of the sites will gain value with time. Many of them will even achieve some page rank. There can be a market for established sites with even a low page rank. – Different Internet marketing techniques can be developed and refined on the different sites. List building, AdSense, Affiliate marketing, and perhaps even selling your own products can be used to monetize multiple sites.

The cons of multiple sites:

More time is required for general upkeep with respect to domain registrations and hosting. – All things being equal (which they never are), X amount of work put into one site will yield more results than X amount of work into ten sites. However, this only applies in general. This negative can be overcome if attention is given to sites which began to get good traction.

The pros of just one site:

It is MUCH easier to stay focused! – The same “X amount of work…” rule stated above applies here. – One site of authority can attract large amounts of attention and offer broader opportunities.

The cons of just one site:

All your eggs are in one basket. It is rare, but a change in algorithm can sometimes hit even a well ranking site hard in the search engine rankings. – If the site’s niche is not large enough, a glass ceiling can be reached which simply can’t be broken through. One site can be limiting unless the market is large. Most of all choose a method which fits you best. Some marketers need help with “focus”.

Others NEED variety. If your dream is to have a thousand AdSense sites, go for it! If your dream is having the best golf site online, then get busy! With Internet marketing you can easily mix and match your own talents, dreams, and personality. I love that part about it!

You probably have heard me talk about planting seeds. Creating small niche AdSense sites is a perfect example of planting a seed and watching it grow. There are no guarantees. Some of the niche sites work great and some don’t. Others take a while to take off.

Here is a perfect example of a slow growing site: I have a little AdSense site about searching for lost people (as in long lost relatives and friends). I created the site (several years ago) back when I knew but a fraction of what I know now. My keyword research methods were very primitive.

Back then I mainly used the free keyword tools to pick the keywords.
I found some PLR content and paid a student to rewrite about 12 pages of it. I bought some pictures from istockphoto for one dollar each to spruce up the site. I submitted it to some directories at that time. Since then I have done nothing to the site.

The site was indexed pretty fast. However, the site only earned about 30 dollars a month for the first 18 months. Hey, I am not complaining! That is 540 dollars and I only spent about 100 dollars for the pictures and the content writing!

Then, about 6 months ago, things began changing. For some reason, all of a sudden, some other search engines were picking it up! Originally it was only showing well in the Dog Pile search engine. Now the site has been earning between $250 and $400 per month! THAT is what I mean about planting seeds!
