For anyone who has a web site or is thinking of creating one would be foolish to not at least consider Google Ad Sense. {It’s totally free} At least you could cover your web site related bills, and with a lot of hard work you could make your on-line hobby or passion your full time job. However if you don’t learn how to fully optimize your site and build it in a fashion that will attract traffic you won’t make much from Ad Sense. Basically if you have limited traffic then you will have a limited click through ratio.
Google.com earns most of its revenue by allowing other web site owners to advertise on their search result pages. All this is managed through a program they call Ad Words. You can earn a share of the revenue that Google earns from Ad Words by displaying these same text ads on your site. In other words, you're helping Google advertise and they pay you a percentage of what they earn.
If you understand how Ad Sense works, you will see that it's a win-win situation for everyone involved. Since the advertiser's ads are now being displayed on more web sites all over the internet (instead of just Google's site), Google are getting much more exposure. More exposure means more clicks and even more traffic for their site over a shorter period of time which makes them the leading search engine in Webland. The more information you have, the greater chance you have of attracting free search engine traffic. That's why it's very important you choose a topic you have an interest in so you can keep building and adding new content working hard as your site grows in depth and popularity. Create and Placing Ads Tutorial.
Google does not disclose how much you'll earn pay per click. It all depends on how much the advertisers are paying Google for that particular ad. The more Google earn, the more you earn from each click. There can be earnings from 2 cents to $10 per click. Even though Google will not reveal how much you are earning for each ad that is clicked from your site, you can still login to your account at any time and see the total amount of revenue you've generated that day, week, month, year, etc. For example, if you see that you've made $14.00 today from 14 clicks then you can calculate that your average click-thru commission was $1.00 per click. This is as close as you will get to working it out, basically you will get an average. Again everything depends on you, Google will provide the ads, it’s up to you to direct traffic to your site, the more traffic the higher your click through rate.
The way things used to work, website owners would place banner ads on their site; you know the kind; big animated flashing ads which no one ever clicked. Everyone knows what banner ads are so ignored them, when was the last time you clicked on one yourself, well there you go! With Ad Sense you can display ads as text links which have a much higher click through rate. The reason for this; we are all used to clicking on text links, plus they can be added to your site in a subtle manner and look like part of the content within your site. Also unlike banner ads where you only get paid if the visitor actually purchases something, with Ad Sense the visitors just have to click the ads, they do not have to purchase anything.

If you try and create a web site about something where you have a limited knowledge, chances are you will get fed up and give up. Also if you try and copy someone else idea chances are you will be found out. Keep it real we all have a passion or interest and yes most likely someone already dominates that market; this is where you need to do research, think, use your head and come up with something unique or another angle and offer something they don’t.
