Google AdSense

I have done numerous hours of research on the web before this project on how to make a profit online. I think it would be great, especially for someone who loves computers like myself, to be able to work at home and make some sort of income. The best revenue that I have seen is definitely this Google AdSense programs. There are spin offs to these programs as well, such as with Yahoo!, who incorporate the same idea. Another way to earn a profit online I have found is selling something either with an online store, e-bay, dropshipping, or being part of an affiliate program. There are ways of course to make a few pennies, such as signing up from a program such as Clickbank, which sends you e-mails and you make pennies off of each one you read, but this is a slow process. Google Adsense seems the most profitable and wise because once you set it up, you can literally sleep and have the profit come in. Another aspect that amazes me with these online ways to make money is how many programs they have to “get rich”, “never work again”, etc. where you have to pay the start-up fee or for the manual. When I go to sites such as those, they make me laugh and I honestly wonder how stupid people are to actually attempt these methods.


However, I have attempted to use AdSense numerous times, and each time I am rejected. I give different e-mail addresses, and I am not sure if it is just me or if they are further restricting who they give permission to. When this idea first came out, my brother put it on his Myspace account. However, he got it taken away from him because he clicked on his own account too many times. This is a big no, and Google can track where each hit comes from so that was not one of his best ideas. However, I have designed websites before and attempted to sign it up with Google Adsense, and been rejected. I researched as to why this could be the case. I found that Google is making it more restricted as to who they allow to have these accounts. They look for websites that are not just one page, but numerous ones, and they have to be professional. I am going to try it again for this blog, but as the case has been I am sure I will get another letter saying that they did not accept my application. I also tried adding AdSense to my blog in the beginning of the semester as well, but got rejected, but will try again today. In order to remove the public service ads, I had to take it out of the html formatting.


I thought it was funny that even with the link you gave us about Google AdSense that the person was STILL trying to make a profit off of it by giving 4 out of his 5 top ways. Another thing I have noticed with websites that try to reap in profit off of some sort of project only have 1 page for the site. It tells everything off of the one page, no matter how long it is. And the END of the page is the part where it asks for the money, and 99% of the time it says how it is on sale for a limited time, but we all know that’s a lie and it’s just how the web page is set up.


I have seen many websites that are based on earning revenue from putting Adsense on it, and then putting a bunch of affiliate links. The content on these sites are horrible, and it is so obvious as to what the person is trying to do. If you look at the hyper link on the different links posted on a website like this, you will notice a bunch of letters and numbers instead of just the normal URL. I look for this when I am clicking on different sites. For example, I go to Kayak.com to book some of my flights. The creator of there has to be very wealthy because they are earning some sort of revenue by each time the reader clicks on a flight, and even more when they purchase it. If I had the capability, I would love to create a website that uses every single airline and make a profit off of it. This is an example of having the profit made in a good way. The best way I think to make a profit off of AdSense by creating a site would be to make an informative one about something you know about, and then putting the ads in. I also think that the person should find a topic-related affiliate link or two, and that can help revenue as well. The websites that have bad content and it is really obvious why they created the website should be removed from the web, or at least have their Adsense account deleted because it brings the quality of the web down even more.


This is definitely something I will continue to pursue; I feel it’s a great idea. Again, I love computers and if I could work on them at home instead of at an office or other job, I definitely would want to. If I am ever able to set up some type of successful website and make money while I am sleeping, that seems like the Internet Dream.

On a later note, I have found out that I am not allowed to attempt the Google AdSense again with this blog. I tried to log in, but it just stated:

Account Not Active
An AdSense account does not exist for this login, as it is associated with an unapproved application. For more information about your application, please review the message we sent to the email address you provided with your application.

So it seems I am not able to attempt again with this Blog, because it already shows that I attempted to sign up for it :(
