Having a website can generate revenue for you twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Google AdSense is a free program that has an advertising revenue especially designed to help websites like yours to increase their revenue simply by displaying AdWordsads. You can apply online at:
http://www.google.com/adsense
Apply to Google to have your website reviewed. Each page on your website must be content rich on various topics. These pages should all be centered around a theme which Google will use to target relevant ads to your website.
Once you have applied, Google will require you to reply to an email to confirm that you have actually applied. In about 2 –3 days, Google will inform you of the review of your website and whether or not it has been accepted or rejected.
Google will set up an account for you and provide you with the HTML code you need for displaying ads. Insert the HTML code into the pages on your websites and you can start displaying ads immediately.
Google search and page-ranking technology will search for ads that are relevant to your content pages. This technology matches the primary language of your pages and ads are targeted to your specific geographic location. This means that ads that serve users from Canada, for example, will not be the same ads that appear on your website for users in Australia. This ‘geotargeting’ by Google makes the ads relevant to all the visitors to your website and it also means that you may not see all of the ads that are targeted to your website. You do not have to be technologically literate to display AdSense ads on your web pages. Google does it all for you. All you have to do is insert the HTML code and maintain the website.
It may take a few hours before the ads do appear on your web pages. At first, you may see public service ads appearing and you do not get paid for these.
If your website is accepted, Google requires you to comply with their program policies:
• AdSense accounts cannot be transferred, reassigned or sold in
connection with your website.

in common with each other. The content of the page must not

Sites that are not accepted by Google AdSense:
About Me Websites
Google does not accept personal websites for its AdSense program. The reason for this is that most personal websites do not have a specific theme and are usually just a random collection of facts about the website’s owner.
Google looks for content-based websites that contain a lot of information about a specific topic. The website has to have a central theme to which all the pages refer.
Disorganized Websites
The websites that are accepted by Google AdSense must be neat and easy for the user to navigate. All the links must work and the website cannot have any typing mistakes. There should not be an excess of colors and each page should have a consistent layout.
Not enough pages
Google prefers acceptable websites to have at least 20 pages. This allows for a significant number of targeted ads to be placed on the website to ensure that both Google and the publisher will make money.
Site is not solid
A website with nothing but links to other websites is not acceptable as a Google AdSense publishing website. You must have enough original content of your own to make your website unique.
Website does not receive enough traffic
If your website is not receiving many visitors, then it will be hard togenerate any kind of income through Google AdSense. An acceptable flow of traffic is at least 100 visitors a day.
Website violates policies of Google AdSense
Before submitting an application, read the terms of use policies carefully to ensure that your website meets all of the requirements.
