How to Build Adsense Websites?

I see it more and more everyday. People build adsense websites that are content driven, niche specific and optimized so that the reader will ultimately feel compelled to click on one of the many ads displayed throughout the site. Many of these people are making a dollar a click or more. When done right Google Adsense can be a powerful set and forget income stream that should not be overlooked. This article will give you some hints on how to build adsense websites that can earn you steady passive income.

The most important hint I can give you is to find a profitable niche. Not all advertisers bid several dollars a click for their ads to show in Google’s results. A good rule of thumb is to stick with industries where big name companies are promoting. For example student loans, credit card debt, mortgage refinancing and the list goes on, but these are some of the biggest industries on the internet today and these advertisers can pay up to ten dollars a click on Google for there ads. Since Google shares close to %50 with its adsense publishers this means you will be receiving anywhere from 1 - 5 dollars per click on your websites.

To build adsense websites that will entice your visitors to click on your ads you will need to come up with a lot of fresh, unique content that they will want to read. Without good content you will not be able to keep them on your web-page long enough for them to see and potentially click your ads.

Creating fresh and unique content doesn’t mean that you have to be an expert in credit card debt or whatever your specific niche is. There are hundreds of article directories all over the internet that will let you reprint their articles for free. All you have to do is agree to their terms and conditions which usually require you to leave all links active and not to alter the content in any way. You should use articles that are rich in specific keywords related to your site. Keyword-focused, fresh, unique content will ensure that Google will deliver relevant ads that have high click value.

When you build adsense websites be aware of where you place your ads. The placement of your ads can have a big impact as to whether or not they will be seen and clicked on. A general rule of thumb is to place them above the fold. This means that if you have a page that scrolls down make sure they will see them right away without having to scroll down. Also try to use the wider ad formats whenever possible. It is easier to read ads that don’t have as many line breaks to disrupt the flow. For more information on optimizing your ads check out the help section in your Adsense account.

As time goes on I expect to see a lot more people build adsense websites to earn a little extra spending cash. Some might even be able to create a full time income. Finding profitable niches and creating content rich websites is easy using the hints above. One could successfully build 10 or more adsense websites with the potential of earning thousands per month.

Requirements to Get Approved on AdSense

Actually, getting started with AdSense for monetize your website is simple, Google AdSense support team will reviewing your submitted applications and noticed a few common pitfalls. In order to make the application for joining adsense is approved, you should ask yourself whether you have fulfill the requirements that needed to apply :

Website:
Publisher need administrative access to the site that will be submitted to display Google AdSense advertisements, with full access of placing the JavaScript ad code inside the page. If a publisher can add the javascript code inside their site, then they may locate the Google code to their site and will enable adsense to be displayed as well as search boxes and referral units inside the pages. However, if a publisher doesn’t have his own website, they still can participate in AdSense. Google also offer a couple of options to help publisher easily create their own site.
For example, a publisher may use Blogger to publishing their own blog online. Blogger is easy-to-use for newbie and has many templates. Publisher can create an account and start blogging right away. After a while, when the blog is useful enough for visitors, publisher can also set up AdSense ads easily through the Blogger account.
Google also provide Page Creator for publishers who prefer more flexibility and control. No need to worry… Signing up for a Page Creator is free and need a Gmail account only. Publisher can begin displaying Google ads in minutes, once they have created their Page Creator site.

Valid payee name:
Publisher must provide the valid payee name because the payments will be made out to that valid name. Make sure not using initials and include the full and valid name.

Valid postal address:
A publisher must provide a complete and valid postal address when submit the application. If a publisher live in a country or territory that doesn’t have a standard format for addresses, they have to make sure that their application includes as much information as a mailman would need to find the residence.

Valid URL:
A publisher who want joining adsense need to give and provide the homepage URL when submitting the application. If a publisher manage a blog or other account within a larger website, they should provide the URL of the specific page that managed and not the URL of the entire hosting website.

Fully launched website:
Publishers must ensure that their site is live and functioning when submit the application, because the Google Review Team won’t be able to review websites that are not fully launched or built.

Supported language:
Google AdSense Support Team can only approve the application if the majority of the website is in one of their supported languages. So, make sure that the site is included at their supported languages list that can be found here. However, Google still constantly working to provide targeted, relevant ads in more languages.

Unique content:
Publisher must have interesting and unique contents, because Google want visitors to sites in the AdSense network to have a good experience. Publisher is not allowed using “doorway” pages created just for search engines, or other cookie cutter approaches such as affiliate programs with little, less, lack or even no original and real content. Publisher must give people a reason to visit their site first, if they’re participating in an affiliate program.

Pay-To Sites:
Google won’t approve and will reject the application of a publisher who participates in programs that compensate people to perform activities that drive traffic to the submitted site. Some examples of these “pay-to” programs are sites that encourage users “to surf” or “to click” or “to read email.” Additionally, publisher shouldn’t encourage others to join these programs in the content, links, or third-party ads on the submitted site.

However, Google AdSense also encourage publishers to read the AdSense Program Policies in detail for further insight on how to get approved on their program.
