Making more than $10,000 a month with Google's Adsense Program is not as hard as you think »

Well, whilst many people are making well in excess of 5 figures every month without having to do much at all, there are also those who are probably not even making enough to cover their monthly web hosting costs.

So how are some people so successful and others not, I hear you ask.

Well there are three key factors that can influence your adsense earning potential, and these are the following;

• Website Traffic
  
  Clearly, the more traffic your site gets the more clicks it should generate - therefore a site, that despite displaying Adsense ads, that doesn't get much traffic is not going to generate much in Adsense revenue.
  
  Search engines and site visitors thrive on the following stuff;
  
  
  • Sites that provide value
    A site that is sticky will encourage people will stay on it because it is informative, interesting and of value to the site visitor.
    
    The longer visitors stay on a site the higher the perceived value of the site is and the more likely it'll be that they click on Adsense ads.
    
    
  • Content
    A site that has lots of content and pages that provides value is likely to generate more traffic than smaller sites.
    
    Therefore sites with many pages all providing good value for their visitors is also search engine fodder, ie search engines love sites with lots of content which means that the pages could rank well in the serps and therefore attarct more traffic and get more adsense clicks.
    
    
  • Updated Content
    Sites that have content that is updated regularly or new content that is added often will interest the search engines and increase the site's popularity which will get more visitors and adsense clicks.
  
  
• How the Ads are Displayed
  
  Google allows you various options which can be used to customize your ads so that they can be displayed for maximum effect as follows;
  
  
  • Color
    You are able to customize the ads to blend in with your site in terms of the text, links, background and border
    
    
  • Size of Ad
    There are various sizes which you can choose from - you need to consider which size is best for a particular page as selecting an inappropriate size will definitely affect your CTR (click through rate) which affects your income.
    
    
  • Number of Ads
    You are allowed to place up to three instances of AdSense code on each page - use them all if you can, but vary the type of implementation
    
    You will also have a choice of whether to display banner ads or just textual ads.
    
    
  • Positioning
    Positioning is important, place the ads where they are most likely to be seen - for instance ads above the fold are more likely to be clicked on than others stuck away in the bowels of the page.
    
    Google provides a heat map showing what in their opinion is the best place to have your ads displayed.
    
    
• Your Site's Theme or Topic
  
  If your site is based on a popular topic like webhosting or photography for instance, there won't be a shortage of advertisers and therefore Adsense ads for Google to serve up on your site.
  
  Furthermore because of the competitive nature of a particular niche, the cost per click that the advertiser has to pay is generally higher than a niche that is less competitive - this means that popular niche's earn more in Adsense revenue.
  
  However if your site's topic is all about the mating habits of the north sea clam, not only will you get very little interest but Google won't have any advertisers to display ads on your site and therefore no Adsense income.
  
  Therefore you will need to get the right balance as the very popular topics may be too competitive which will make it difficult for a new site to get enough site visitors.
  
  
The Google Adsense program offers it's publishers various sizes and colors of it's adsense ads as well as

Therefore the positioning, size, color and blending of ads can influence whether your site visitor will be encouraged to click on an ad or not

A word of caution - whilst Adsense is an easy way for website owners & bloggers to make easy money do not bite the hand that feeds.

Be sure to read and fully understand the Adsense ToS (Terms of Service) because Google is ruthless to those who contravene their terms and usually banish them to finding a far less easy way to earning money online - once you've had your account disabled there is no way back.

Google's sophisticated systems will know whether you've employed some dodgy system to click your ads (for example) so do not try and cheat - Google will always catch those who think they can beat the system and summarily close their accounts - which is understandable as Google doesn't want their advertisers to be paying for fraudulent clicks.

Lately Google has also been closing the accounts of those Adsense publishers who use arbitrage tactics to generate traffic and clicks.

This is a system whereby a publisher uses cheap Google Adwords clicks to drive traffic to his site where the visitor may click on an Adsense ad that generates a higher income than the cost of the Adword's click.

In conclusion...

Google's Adsense program has provided many people a way of making a legitimate & sustainable online income ...
