Many people today are making hundreds to thousands of dollars per month with Google AdSense. These are people from all walks of life including people with full time jobs (working on AdSense in their off time), stay at home moms and dads, retirees and even High School students.You’ve probably even heard the stories about the “Super Google AdSense Earners” who are on their way to earning their first million dollars by promoting Adsense Ads on their websites and how anyone, of any age and gender, can become an AdSense Publisher once they know how to do it. There are even tons of eBooks advertised daily on the Internet that claim that they have “cracked” the Google AdSense Secret and will show you how it’s done.So, what is the “Google AdSense Secret“?Well, there really is no secret; although many Internet Marketers would like you to believe that there is, so that they can lighten your wallet by a few dollars.

There is, however, a right way and a wrong way to accomplish this. The right way will gradually increase your AdSense earnings. The wrong way can get you kicked out of the Google AdSense Program.

I guess by now it’s obvious that the first thing that you need to do is open your browser and surf to www.google.com/adsense and set up your Google AdSense account. It’s free and Google steps you through the entire process. It’s really quite easy to do.

Don’t just set up a webpage and fill it up with Google AdSense code. Not only does Google frown on this, but their “bots” will not know what type of ads to put on your page. At best, you will only receive Public Service ads that will not make you any money.

Recently, Google has been cracking down on these types of sites and issuing warnings to the publishers.

You may or may not be aware of the fact that, being the biggest online search engine, Google puts the interests of their users before anything else. Google knows that most Internet surfers are not looking for the “next great deal”. They are looking for information, answers to questions and “how to” articles and Google wants them to find this information easily.

Google will monitor your site, and if they find only Google AdSense ads your efforts will be wasted and they may close your account if you do not heed their warning.

How does this affect your success? Very directly. In order to be successful with Google AdSense you will need “content rich” webpages for your AdSense ads; content that searchers will find useful. So you need to write informative articles for your AdSense webpages.

Before you get to thinking that this opportunity is not for you because you didn’t do well in writing at school, consider the possible income you will be throwing away if you don’t give it a try.

What is your area of expertise? Would people be interested in learning about that? I’m sure very many people would be. So sit yourself down and jot down the major points in your area of expertise. I’m sure that doing this will spark your creative juices and you will be able to put together a 400 - 700 word article.

OK, worst case scenario, you still suck at writing. Surf the Internet for article sites. Type “article directory” into the Google search box and you will find tons of article sites. Most of the publishers of these articles will be happy to let you use their articles for your Google AdSense webpages.

Two things that you need to do if you follow this route are to secure the publisher’s permission to use his/her article and to include the publisher’s bio or signature in the article. You must avoid copyright infringement at all costs. Most countries have laws against it and, when caught, you’ll be in a load of trouble; quite possibly in jail.

A better use for other peoples’ articles is for ideas for your own articles. It is my considered opinion that writing your own articles is your best option, for a number of reasons; not the least of which are the fact that your online credibility will increase when you publish your own articles and these articles, when submitted to the article directories, can become viral and drive an increased amount of traffic to your websites.

Another option for content for your Google AdSense webpages is to use Private Label Rights (PLR) articles. Many of these can be found for free or they can be purchased fairly inexpensively.

Once again, you should re-write these articles in your own words to achieve originality. For example, if there are 1000 people all using the exact same content, your efforts may be hampered by Google’s duplicate content policy. Google rewards originality and penalizes duplication. Make your articles stand out from the crowd by making them appear original.

One of the most important aspects of successfully using Google AdSense is Keyword Density. I’m not referring to META tags here but I encourage you to use them as well. When Google’s “bot” crawls your AdSense pages it uses your keywords to determine what AdSense ads to place on your page.

As an example, I wrote an article for my opt-in list subscribers about building an opt-in list. I used the phrase “building an opt-in list” in my META tags, my page Title and in the content of my article.

When I uploaded the page to my server Google put ads on my site for “Building Contractors” and “Building Supplies”. Hardly what I was looking for. I replaced “building” with “increasing” and “growing” and Google gave me relevant ads.

Here is an option that can really accelerate your Google AdSense earnings. However, if not used properly, it can max out your credit card at lightning speed. Called AdSense Arbitrage, it employs Google AdWords Pay Per Click (PPC) Program to send traffic to your Google AdSense pages.

It is beyond the scope of this article to go into depth on this topic but at it’s most basic level you create ads sending people to your Google AdSense webpages. If you want to use this method I highly recommend that you study it very carefully before jumping in. This is not for lazy people or those afraid to take risks. AdSense Arbitrage requires knowledge, careful set up and constant monitoring or you can literally lose your shirt.

I hope that you have found this article to be both interesting and informative.

Thank you for reading.
