What Is Google Adsense?

Many people have heard of Google adsense but really have no idea what it is. To be honest, I started using Google adsense before I even had an idea of what it's used for. I wanted to write this article so I can understand what Adsense is all about. I feel that if you understand a certain topic better you can utilize it more. Hopefully you will learn something as well.

Adsense was created by Google in 2003. It is a way to get advertisers and website owners to work together. Advertisers want to make money or promote the products they have any way they can. The Internet is the one place in our history that can get in contact with a huge number of people in the shortest amount of time possible. Google realized this and wanted to find a way to help companies advertise themselves (and earn Google a little extra money along the way). Over 1 billion people use the Internet in some way as of September 30, 2009. If companies can get even a fraction of that many people to visit there websites they can earn a great deal of profit.

Advertisers are willing to pay a great amount of money to get there ads on the web. They would go to Google Adsense and sign-up for an account to start advertising there website, product, online store, etc. This is where the website owners come in. Many people on the Internet make websites for fun or for a certain goal; whether it is to get their voice heard, make money or because they were bored at home and had an Internet connection. For example, if a person wanted to make a blog about acting in movies; they would set up a blog and then begin to write about all the aspects of acting in a film. They could write about getting an agent, acting classes, acting courses, acting books, going to auditions, going to New York or Los Angeles, etc. Then they would here about Google Adsense and sign-up. They would then place adsense ads on their blog to start making money with the blog.
The best thing about that is, because that person made a blog about something very specific (or niche) like acting in movies all of the Adsense ads that will show up will be related to acting. So people who already read his blog come visit for a specific reason, acting in movies. They will then see an ad that is about how to act in movies and would click on it. That would earn him money every time someone clicks on an ad on their acting blog.

Once the website owners earn a certain amount of money for clicks they will receive their money at the end of the month. As of now, the minimum payout you can receive from Google Adsense is $100.00. That may seem like a lot but there are a great number of people earning more then that each month. Some successful Adsense publishers make over $10,000 even $30,000 EACH month. It took them a great amount of smart working skills but they did accomplish the task.

Google adsense is a great place for advertisers and publishers. Advertisers have a way to get the products and services out into the Internet and anyone who has a web page can make money online if they are smart. I say you have to be smart because you can work as hard as you want but if you are not doing it right you may get back pennies or nothing.

Make Money Online with Xomba

Xomba is a web site where you can make money online. You basically write articles or bookmark web site and you get paid. It is a bit different from the other web sites I write for. You earn money through Google Adsense but you have to have an account with Adsense. A lot of people make some good extra income each month. There are a few that have been a few hundred dollars each month. Xomba is another site that will earn you some solid passive income.

The thing with Xomba is that you have to add your Google Adsense account ID to your Xomba profile. This is how Xomba keeps track of your earnings and how you get paid. In a sense, you are using Xomba to get paid through Google Adsense. Xomba doesn't really pay you, instead, you will get paid through Google Adsense. It is a really good way to make money without a blog.

There are two types of articles you can write on Xomba. They are Xombytes and Xomblurbs. Xombytes are your basic article that you would write. It could be anything from a blog post, a review of a movie, news or story. It can basically be anything you want to write about. The Xomblurb is what is used for social bookmarking. You basically give a brief description of the site and provide a link to the site. It is a great way to promote something.

You can track your earnings with Google Adsense which is great because it is almost on a real time basis. I have been apart of Xomba for a bit now and am making a good amount of income. Which is very surprising since I have been apart of eHow and have just been posting on them for a while.

Frustrations about Making Money Online

I am having so many frustrating ideas about making money online. You can not tell the future, especially with work on the Internet which is why that frustrates me. I have figured out a plan to making money online but not sure it will work. I am writing this post to put my goals down on print and find ways to get there. This should help me in achieving what I want in this online money making world. Here are my goals:



Main Goal: 10-15,000 dollars a month (it sounds like a lot, well...because it is).
Tactics: Ehow, Bukisa, and Adsense.

That is basically it for now. I have done some research and have been looking at ways other way that I think I will get in to. I may want to write an Ebook about making passive income sooner or later. Maybe sell it for a few bucks. But I will have to do more research before I can do this. I think if a maximize all of these revenue streams I could probably get up to 6 maybe 7 thousand dollars. I know there are a handful of people who are making about $1,000 to $2,000 a month on Ehow. There are a great deal of individuals who are making over $100,000 each month with adsense. Bukisa is fairly new so I have not seen many people making 'bank' from it yet. But I really like posting on the site and it is very simple and fun to use. If I add that up, I can make some where around here:

Ehow: $1,500
Adsense: $3,000

Total: $4,500

That is what I hope to make (at least) in the next few months but I may need to find another stream of income. Now keep in mind, all of this would be passive income so the idea is that once I get to that amount it should either stay around the same or more after a stop working. I think about what I what do with over a thousand dollars in passive income every month and I just start to smile. I guess I'm going to start to get to work.
