Lots of people ask me, how do I make money with Adsense. Mind you most of the people that are asking me this are people just getting into building their own websites, and are trying to get on the internet money train to try and earn a few extra dollars.

When people ask me this, it kind of shocks me a bit, because I am no expert when it comes to making money with Adsense, I only make roughly $600 a year with it, I do however know how it works, and ways to make it work better for you, my problem has just been getting traffic to the sites so I can even have the chance to be making any of the revenue I know how to make.

Adsense is a great source of income for a lot of people, and there is still room for more people to join in and start making some extra spending money, and maybe even making enough to quit their regular job. You just have to know some basic information about the program, general marketing strategies, and be willing to put a lot of long, hard work into your projects. The last step is where most people fall short on, even I fall short on that one. You have to have the dedication to make sure your sites/blogs are updated often with new fresh content so you can continue driving traffic to your site. Because with out traffic it doesn’t matter how well you blend your ads, where you place them or anything else you do with the ads, if you don’t have traffic you can’t make money.

Steps needed to get up and running with Adsense:

First, you need to sign up with Adsense.

Once Adsense reviews your site, they will get back to you and tell you whether or not you were accepted into the program. If at first you weren’t successful in getting in, don’t fret. Make the adjustments to your site that was noted in your rejection email and then reapply. If you still don’t get it, another option is applying from a Blogger account, they almost always (always) approve those accounts.

Second Once your approved for an account, log in and grab the code given to you from Adsense and copy and paste that into your source code on your site. Depending on how you develop your site this process might change. On this blog, and others of mine I use the plug in Adsense Deluxe. It is very simple to use, a must have for any WordPress blog you are wanting to use Adsense with.

For right now, this is all I have for you, I will be making Part Two of this post shortly with more steps, tricks, and tips for you to use on your sites. Please feel free to ask me any questions.
