How Much Money Can I Earn With My Blog?
If
you're looking at Google's AdSense program to make money with
your blog you're surely asking yourself how much you could make
from such a program. You probably think you can't make as much
as you can from traditional advertising schemes.
Google, of course, keeps a great deal of secrecy regarding how
much AdWords advertisers pay per each click directed to their
site and the same applies for how much AdSense banner holders
make from their websites and blogs (in fact the terms of signing
up on the AdSense program specifically say you cannot reveal the
amounts you earn).
While there's nothing official, rumours circulate around the
Internet concerning the amount of cash a blogger can earn by
using AdSense. And many people (illegally) disclose how much
they have been making with AdSense. There are stories of people
raising over one thousand dollars per month using AdSense, some
as much as $1000 a day just through blogging.
There are also stories of people exceeding $100,000.00 per month
but it's a bit hard to believe such stories. The truth to the
matter is that if you have a small blog and you just want it to
support itself with a little extra income, and you don't wish to
reach your pocket for its maintenance costs you can easily do
this with AdSense.
AdSense is also very good for people who host a lot of pages or
very large community blogs. Even if the said pages or blogs
don't generate a lot of traffic individually, every click counts
and you can earn up with a lot of money by doing this. And that
just goes to prove that sometimes quantity matters nearly as
much as quality.
There's no telling how much money you're going to make by using
Google's AdSense program on your blog but you can sort of tell
for yourself, before actually starting, by taking a few things
into consideration.
First, is the amount of visits your blog may now get every day.
While there's no way to estimate precisely on this, you can
generally make a safe assumption that if you have a lot of
clicks per day you'll be making good money.

Also, this depends on what exactly your blog is about. If your
site is about anything popular (music, sex, whatever) you're
bound to get a lot of banner clicks. These have a coefficient
associated with them, called the CTR (click through ratio).
Basically, what it translates to is that if a large proportion
of your site's visitors click the ads you'll be making more
money. And the best way to do this is to have some popular
content in your site, ensuring the links direct users towards
popular items as well.
Then of course, there's the position and number of ads on your
blog. While you don't want to overdo it, having many ads will
undoubtedly generate more income for you as a webmaster. Do not
however believe, that if you just add a lot of ads in an
important portion of your site, visitors could always just skip
them (and be assured that many do just that).
There's something between an art and a science to positioning
your ads. People generally look in certain places and never look
in others, and knowing this a website author and/or webmaster
can do a great deal of things to increase his earnings with
AdSense.
All in all, the amount of money you make with AdSense on your
blog depends on many factors. But if you have a site with
interesting contents and/or many pages, and if you see a
constantly large amount of traffic every day, you can bet you'll
be making a lot of money with AdSense.
Even if you aren't in the above categories, AdSense is still
worth using on your blog because there's very little hassle in
setting it up, and many times it can help financially support
the site, whilst being a nice bonus to get through the mail at
the end of the month.
