The Google AdSense program is an easy way to make money online. It’s such a simple concept, really: embed or surround content with relevant text-based advertisements served up automatically by Google. Visitors who come to your site to read your content make you money whenever they click an ad. It’s not difficult at all.

Implementing AdSense is trivial, it’s literally cut-and-paste. Nor do you worry about choosing the ads you want displayed, Google does that automatically by reading the content of the page and selecting appropriate ads. It’s so easy to get started with AdSense.

AdSense is a great content monetization program, but it depends on two things: content and traffic. You need both to make money with AdSense. Content is what attracts the visitors, and visitors are the ones who click the ads. No visitors, no money — it’s pretty easy to understand that!

You need more than one site, though. The most successful AdSense publishers build networks of content sites. These “AdSense networks” multiply their earning power. After all, even 100 sites earning only $2/day each makes $6000 a month in earnings, which to some people is a full-time salary.

Is it easy to build so many sites? No, it’s kind of daunting. You need a lot of content. You need to find cut-rate web hosting and cheap domain names. You’ll want tools to create the sites.

But there are tricks you can use to reduce the effort required to create your AdSense network. The first is to not go overboard with content creation: build small, focused sites and test the waters before committing a lot of time and effort into creating bigger, more comprehensive sites. The second is to encourage repeat visitation by enticing first-time visitors to sign up for a course or newsletter and get them to view other pages on the site as part of that course/newsletter. The third is to discreetly use affiliate links to promote related products. And the fourth is to interlink the content pages and to use standard (and simple) search engine optimization techniques to maximize free search engine traffic.

Your AdSense content network needs a proper business plan in order to thrive. Start small by attacking a variety of niches using the tricks mentioned above. Build on what you have, and in a few months you’ll have a great AdSense business.
