\"How<\/p>\n

You can make money with Google Adsense even if your visitors don't buy a product on your blog. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I like Google Adsense<\/strong>. It contributes a nice little chunk of change to my income each and every month. Even my dog earns an income from Google Adsense<\/a>. Yes, seriously, he does.<\/p>\n

That said, I don't and won't follow the lead of those whose sites earn only through Google Adsense<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What happens when their Adsense accounts are shut down by Google? It does happen, and they're left scrambling to replace lost income!<\/p>\n

Don't believe me?<\/p>\n

Try clicking on your own site's Google Adsense links once or twice and see how fast Google shuts down your Adsense account. (No, don't really do that!)<\/p>\n

Does it make sense to build an entire site around financial products to make a few bucks on Adsense clicks, when you can earn up to $40 for a completed credit card application?<\/p>\n

Not to me, it doesn't.<\/p>\n

Use Adsense to Supplement – NOT Replace<\/h2>\n

I use Google Adsense to supplement my affiliate income<\/strong>, not replace it.<\/p>\n

Basically, it comes down to value. Value for you, and value for your visitors.<\/p>\n

Sites that monetize only with Adsense aren't getting real value from their site's real estate.<\/p>\n

Too, it's important to me that my visitors find information of value<\/strong> to them on my sites, and I do that by offering balanced product reviews and articles on the related topic.<\/p>\n

If after reading my material, they're not interested in the product offerings, then perhaps they'll see an Adwords ad that captures their interest and click on that.<\/p>\n

Placing Google Adsense on your site is a strategy that will put money in your pockets even if your visitors don't buy.<\/h3>\n

However, in the same way that you need to be smart about choosing lucrative affiliate programs, you also want to do your homework when monetizing topics with Adsense<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For example, I was recently re-reading some information about under-represented niche topics with huge markets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Snake Oil<\/h2>\n

One of the topics suggested as a winner was ‘snakes<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n

I found that hard to believe, so I did my own research.<\/p>\n

The term ‘snakes' showed a predicted count of 4324 on Wordtracker<\/a> and the keyword ‘snake' racked up another 1938 searches, so yes, close to 200,000 search per month show a nice interest in ‘snakes'.<\/p>\n

OK, but who's your market<\/strong>? Kids looking for snake pictures for a school project? People who want to buy snakes? Someone who wants to visit Snake River?<\/p>\n

What are you going to sell<\/strong>? Snakes? The game, ‘Snake'? A $10 book on which you make a 15% commission? A $60 poster from allposters.com on which you earn a 30% commission seemed to be the best bet, but how many people want to pay $60 for snake posters?<\/p>\n

To me, that's not enough interest or commission potential<\/strong> to build a site around ‘snakes'.<\/p>\n

So, what about incorporating Adsense<\/strong> to boost potential profitability?<\/p>\n

Well, search Google for ‘snakes'. See what comes up in the Google Adwords column?<\/p>\n

NOTHING!<\/strong><\/p>\n

You need to research your market.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, presuming you've chosen a market that has Google Adwords advertisers, Google Adsense is an excellent way to monetize you blog, right from the outset.<\/p>\n
