Google adsense is about placing text ads on your web site. The beauty of adsense is that after you paste the code on your site, google then reads your content and place ads that are relevant to the content and theme of your site. This is important because you now have a much greater chance of an ad being clicked because it is about the subject that the user is searching for. You get paid every time someone clicks on one of those ads. That is it. No selling required. Once they click, you get paid.

Anyone can be an adsense publisher and earn money online. High school kids are earning thousands each month. Housewives, retirees, moms and dads have created full time income by just placing adsense ads on their website or blog.

If you thought that you could not be one of these people, then you are wrong. You just need to know how to get started. Well here is a list of things that you can do to get started with google adsense.

1. Find a niche that you enjoy and have knowledge about. You will be writing articles so having knowledge about the subject will save you time doing research about your niche.

2. Keyword Research - This is very important because the higher in demand the keywords are, the more money you will make per click. Your keyword research will also give you ideas for topics for your articles. You also want to target keywords that are not high in competition. By targeting the lower competition keywords you can get higher search engine rankings more quickly.

3. Write original quality content articles - Using the keywords from your research, write an article that is about 500 words long. By writing your own articles you will avoid being penalized for duplicate content.

4. Design your website - I would suggest that you find a good adsense template package that has all the design and placement of your ads all ready done for you. All you have to do is add your google adsense id number and add your content. Also look for templates that have good graphics, especially the header graphic. A good package will also allow you to edit the pictures as well.

5. Register a domain name. You can register domain names for less than 10.00.

6. Get a web hosting account - Find a reliable web host company.

7. Sign up for a google adsense account - This will only take you a few minutes.

8. Upload your files and start generating traffic to your site.

Google adsense is a win-win situation. A visitor to your site gets the information they are looking for and you as the publisher earn money. So get started right away and start earning your share of the pie with google adsense.
