Google Adsense is by far the best method on the internet to add revenue gaining functionality to any of your websites without the necessity of bulky image banners and referral programs. Every click garners you a few cents, so the amount of money you can make is directly proportionate to your traffic.

That is of course, assuming you have a good CTR, i.e. Click Through Ratio. If you're page garners 1000 hits a day, but your CTR is less than 1%, your hard work to drive traffic is not doing you much good.

Ad Appearance

There is the constant argument over whether it is better to have your Adsense ads brightly visible, standing out from your page, or to let them blend in, becoming part of your text. Surely, you don't want your Adsense ads to disappear and not garner the attention of any of your visitors, but neither do you want them to be so obvious as to drive traffic away.

Experiment with the look and feel of your Adsense to get the best appearance for your page. If you have a certain color scheme, try to match that scheme. Don't use bright pink on your slick, black page, lest you drive away traffic. Blend in your ads to the color scheme of your page and you'll present a cleaner, more honest appearing set of ads.

Ad Format

Google Adsense offers numerous formats for your ads. Many people place large chunks of full texted ads on their sidebars or beneath their articles, but if this isn't working for you, consider changing your approach. Alter you Adsense to best match the way most internet browsers read.

Wider formats tend to do better than the narrow, long Adsense formats simply because the reader doesn't have to read down the page as often. Consider a 728 x 90 leader board of simple one line text ads placed beneath your header. They blend in and if carefully placed beneath your navigation bars, will gain even more clicks.

Ad Placement

You want your Adsense ads placed where your visitors will most likely see them. If you place an Adsense box at the bottom of your sidebar, most visitors will likely fail to notice them. Google has created a 'heat map', a research project in which they gathered information from numerous websites and the most effective placement of ads. Often, it is the top of the page, above your content that Adsense performs best in. Also, for those running articles, directly before and after your article will often garner additional clicks.

There are dozens of ways to clean up your site and enhance your Adsense to raise your CTR. Try curbing your content to match higher paying keywords in more interesting topics, or finding the most popular and effective content areas of your page and preceding them with Adsense ads. Google Adsense has proven itself time and time again as one of the best options for making money with your website. Make sure you are using it to the fullest.For more useful tips & hints, please browse for more information at our website: -

Welcome to the wonderful world of self-employment. What could be better than sitting at your

computer in your bathrobe, quietly sipping coffee, while you listen to Playhouse Disney on the

television as your toddler watches, serenely snacking on his breakfast? Nothing is better. The toddler

didn't go to daycare today, or any other day, save for one: the traumatic first day. Doing what

millions of working parents do, I placed my child in a nice daycare, full of toys and kids his age,

believing I was doing the right thing. Eight hours later, I took home my tear- stained, snot-encrusted,

stuttering child, and calmed him down for about three hours. That was his first day and last. We

rearranged schedules, became two single parents living in the same house, and the kids were happy.

The fairy tale doesn't end there with 'happily everafter.' Money was still too tight and the kids

rarely saw their parents together. Overtime brought in more money, but with less freedom. So I

began scanning the magazines at the bookstore for money-making ideas. You know the ones - glossy,

colorful, get rich quick bibles, every last one. They share something with the Bible actually; you can

buy a copy of any of them 5 years later, and it's still all the same stuff! Then I just lucked into

something on the computer. I found an article written by a stay-at-home Mom, who was in business

for herself. She started an on-line computer business based on a practice called affiliate marketing.

She said that she was making over $11,000.00 every month!! Of course I didn't believe a word of

that, but I ordered her e-book anyway. After reading that book and putting her ideas and suggestions

into practice, I experienced a life-changing dilemma: I was making more money on-line than I was at

my 'real' job. This went on for a while, before I thought to myself: this is silly - by going to 'work'

everyday, I am actually losing money. Strange, but true - I could make more money at home plinking

away on the computer. So I decided to become unemployed - Happily Unemployed.

So what exactly is this affiliate marketing idea that the stay-at-home Mom sold me on? You, the

computer whiz, reading this article, simply do what you are doing now: sit at the computer. You do

not directly sell anything - you promote it. I know how that sounds - how can you make money

from that? But by different means, whether you start your own website ( a LOT easier than you

think!) or use a blog page like MySpace (EVEN easier), you simply recommend information

products, like e-books, to prospective buyers. When the buyer buys, you make money. The money

comes to you in the form of commissions. If you, for example, promote and sell a $25 e-book, you

will make a commission anywhere from 50% to 75% of the sales price. You may make $12.50 or as

much as $18.75, and you NEVER handled anything!! You did not have to buy and stock a thousand

copies of these books, you did not have to pack, stamp, or mail anything, you did not have to collect

sales taxes, you NEVER had to leave your chair!! That, in essence, is affiliate marketing. It is truly a

beautiful thing.

So what now? This is the part where, you know, you take your destiny into your own hands. It is

not overnight riches - it does take some patience and learning, and more patience, but you WILL

learn how to do it. Don't think that you are on your own - even though you are in business for

yourself, because with affiliate marketing, everyone makes money together. Their success is your

success. If you want to be happily unemployed yourself - this is it!

The resources on the internet are endless. You will find information on every aspect of your work

at home businesss - for FREE ! The need for a job, or jobs, will eventually go away - you will be

truly Happily Unemployed.
