What is Google Adsense?

It is useless to reinvent the wheel. Hence I will not give my definition as it is available on Wikipedia. So according to Wikipedia “Google AdSense is a program run by Google Inc. that allows publishers in the Google Network of content sites to serve automatic text, image, video, and rich media adverts that are targeted to site content and audience.”

I hope, the definition is quite clear but again I’ll again put across in my words.

When you go online and visit a website, you might have noticed ads showing in between the web page you’re reading. Those ads are nothing but Google Adsense ads. It is also known as contextual advertising. Check the image below for demo of AdSense ads on websites –

Publishers:

Publishers are bloggers or website owners who create content where Google allows them to show various ads on behalf of advertisers.

Advertisers:

As I pointed-out in my previous paragraph advertisers are individuals who pay an amount to Google for showing their ads on publisher’s blog or website.

Relation between Google Adwords and Google Adsense

In order to get an inner understanding of Google Adsense program we need to know Google Adwords program. A new term has been introduced here, Google Adwords.

Now, what is Google Adwords?

Google Adwords and Google Adsense are basically two sides of same coin.

By reading above paragraph you might have got some understanding of Adsense program. So, here we shall only discuss Adwords program.

Google Inc generates its 90% of the revenue from Google Adwords. All the large, medium and small size business owners would like to sell their products to customers around the world.

In order to reach targeted customers in quick time these business owners make use of Adwords program. Here, they pay Google to show their ads on either search result page or on the content of a blog (Adsense).

Therefore, Google Inc totally runs only on the money paid by these business owners.

In coming paragraph, we shall discuss about Adsense program.

It is only by reading next paragraph you’ll get a clear idea how Adwords and Adsense programs are intertwined with each other.

I will talk little bit about Adwords ads. They are of two types; one is shown on right hand side of the search engine result. You might have noticed whenever you search something; a column of ads would appear on right side of the screen. Those are Adwords ads, business owners pay Google for showing those ads.

How Google Adsense Works?

Well! It is very simple. As I explained in last paragraph, business owners would pay Google for showing ads on publisher’s website.

Google Adsense is a program designed only for bloggers & site owners, unlike Adwords which is for business owners.

Now a publisher (normally called blogger) has to apply Google for Adsense approval. If he is approved then Google would allow him to show ads on his website.

Whenever, people or visitors comes to the publisher’s website in search of good content and they click on Adsense ad then Google pays money for every Click to the publisher.

Google pays publishers from the money that it is getting from advertisers. Advertisers pay Google for each click. The money paid by Google to publishers is 68% of what advertisers pay them and rest 32% Google takes away as commission.

To put it in simple way, if an advertiser pays Rs 100 to Google for one click on Adsense Ads by an online visitor then Google gives Rs 68 to the owner of the website on which ads are showing (publishers) and remaining Rs 32 Google takes away.

Thus, Google takes money from advertisers and gives large chunk of it to publishers and remaining keeps with itself.

Hence, it would be clear now, how Adwords and Adsense program are interlinked with each other.

Let us look at various ways of showing Adsense ads on a website:

• Adsense for Content: Nothing but contextual advertisement
• Adsense of Feeds: Ads will show up on feeds
• Adsense of Search: Ads will come on search
• Adsense for Domain: Place advertisements on domain names
• Adsense of Video: Ads on YouTube Videos

Some terminologies that are commonly used in Google Adsense are:

• CPC: Cost Per Click – The amount that publishers gets when visitors clicks on the Ads. It could be from 10 cents to $2 or even more.
• CTR: Click Through Rate – How many visitors click on those ads. If 100 people came to your site and only one of them clicks then CTR is 1%, if 2 clicks then CTR 3%, if 3 clicks then 4%.
• Views: Total number of impression blogger receives for his blog.
• Visitors: How many people came to your blog.

5 Best Google AdSense Account Approval Tricks

5 Best Google AdSense Account Approval Tricks

Getting account approval from Google AdSense is one of major issue among bloggers & internet marketers (oh yes for spammers too!) in India, Pakistan, China & other countries. Google is becoming more & more stricter related to the AdSense account approval & so people are not getting their account approved.
One of the biggest problem comes when Google says, your domain must be 6 months old to apply for AdSense. They have other guidelines as well which you can access here.
Although you will find many websites, who are selling AdSense account but most of these sites are fake. Many of them create the account through some illegitimate way & once you receive the account from such people, there is a big chance, it will be deactivated in next few days.
But you don’t need to worry. If you are a genuine person who own a decent website with good traffic (I mean genuine traffic), then there is a way out to get your application approved from Google AdSense.

1. Create a Better Website

One of the best & highly recommended way is to create a good website. If you get the approval & no one visiting your website, then there is no meaning to your AdSense account. It won’t give you any earnings.

You need to publish high quality contents on your website if you are looking to monetize your contents. People visit your website for your contents & not to make you money. If you provide them with good contents, your visitors will love them, share them & make a return visit for the new contents.

One of the best idea is, create your website on WordPress platform. If you already own a website, you must know what is WordPress. More than 25% website are created on WordPress only. Create a better WordPress blog with regular updated contents, design it properly with sitemap & navigation & then submit it on Google AdSense. I am sure, you don’t need to use other tricks mentioned here for approval.

2. Buy an Old Domain

As I told you, you need to have a 6 month old domain in order to apply for AdSense account, you can buy an old or expired domain through various domain auction sites like GoDaddy,Sedo or NameCheap.

You can buy an expired domain for as low as $5. Then you can build a good WordPress blog on that domain, publish good contents on regular basis & then apply for AdSense account. This is another best tip to get your AdSense approval.

3. Apply with BlogSpot blog

Initially when Google started to decline AdSense application for new domain, BlogSpot was the sure shot way of taking approval from Google AdSense. Create a blog, write 1-2 post, apply for AdSense account & take approval but its no more the case.

Now Google is taking seriously all applications that comes through BlogSpot blog but still there is a trick for this. But you have to shell out around $10 for this. Its better than taking a fake AdSense account for $20 or more from AdSense account seller.

All you have to do is create a BlogSpot blog & buy a domain from blogger to use it for your blog. Now your BlogSpot URL will be http://www.yourdomain.com instead of http://yourname.blogspot.com. Now publish some good 5-7 articles & then submit your website for AdSense account.

If you buy a domain name from Blogger.com then you don’t have to do any settings to use your domain with BlogSpot but if you are already have domain or buy it from outside then you have follow the guidelines mentioned here to point that domain to BlogSpot blog.

With Blogger, you have to pay $10 or more but if you buy from other service provider like GoDaddy, you can buy it for less than $5 for ‘.info’ domain or by using some discount coupons. CO.cc is another option to get a free domain.

This tricks works most of the time but if you don’t get approval in first attempt then write some more useful articles & then apply. I am sure, you will get approval in few attempts.

4. Revenue Sharing Websites

Revenue sharing website are best trick to get approval from Google AdSense. All you have to do is register an account with a revenue sharing website & upload high quality articles on these website. You can use sites like HubPages, Squidoo etc. to write the contents. These are high authority sites in Google’s eyes & if you write some quality stuffs, your sites will also receive traffic. After sometime, you can apply for AdSense account & there is a great chance, you will get the approval in first attempt.

5. Use Fiverr Service

This is not recommended but this one is also a trick for AdSense account approval. Many people sell AdSense account on Fiverr for just $5.

Many of them use the same technique as I mentioned about the fake account seller in the beginning but there is some difference between those & Fiverr sellers.

The charges those AdSense account sellers ask are very high & you will not find any review from the genuine customers. If there are any testimonials on the website, that might be fake. But in Fiverr, you will get the service in just $5 & the review Fiverr sellers receive, are from the real customers only.

I don’t want to recommend any Fiverr seller here. Just visit Fiverr & search with keywords like ‘AdSense account’ or ‘Google AdSense approval’ & you will find many sellers. Once you find the results, click on ‘Rating’ tab so that sellers will be sorted with highest rating first. I hope you get a genuine account this way.
