How to make money using Adsense

Many websites have embeded Adsense as a source of passive income. Adsense could potentially generate very high income for you if your website have high traffics. Websites with effective Adsense are mostly micro niche sites, where they focus on very specific area. For example, a website devout specifically to fishing rod will have content about fishing rod and everything related to it and nothing else. Google has recently rolled out many updates trying to weed out spam websites. Therefore it is important to let Google view your site as an authority site with good SEO and good backlinks.

In order to build a good site with authority, here are the steps:
1. Keyword Search 
After identifying what your site will focus on, the first step is to do keyword search. This is a very important part of building good SEO for your site. Basically you need to figure out what key terms people are using to search Google in order to find your area of focus. There are many tools out there you could use, but the most effective one would be from Google itself, Google Keyword, plus it’s free! Do some search on the likely key terms and compare to see which keyword is the most effective. Now, you are one step closer to building a good site.

2. Buying Domain and Hosting 
The next step is to buy a domain and hosting service. It is important to pick a domain name that’s not only relevant to your site content, but also easy to type and remember. A reliable web hosting is also critical here. Do not go for a free hosting, it is not only unreliable, but also can delete your account at any time without your permission or notifying you. In that case, your entire site will be gone and all your effort will be for nothing.

Domain: Godaddy is a good choice for domain purchase. There are also many coupon codes out there that you could find to discount the cost, but a domain name only cost around 10 dollars. Godaddy does not provide a very good hosting service.

If your site has no visitors, you will not make any money off of Adsense, thus it is now to get some traffics and make money. In order to  generate traffic, backlinks are important here. There are two types of linking:

Onsite Linking - these link your pages together within your own site.
Offsite Linking - Getting links from other sites point back to your site / pages.

You have almost 100% control over your onsite linking, you can implement as many as you want, but these are not as effective as the offsite linking in SEO. For Offsite linking, it is important to get it from legit and decent authority websites because Google is constantly rolling out updates that could weed you out of any SEO ranking. There are quite many ways that you can get quality offsite links without damaging the reputation of your website.

• social media

But don’t overdo it, slowly build up your offsite linking.
