So for those of you who don't know what 'adsense' is I will quickly explain. Adsense is part of googles advertising branch, it allows people with websites or blogs to earn money through giving google a space on your website or blog to advertise, google acts as a sort of a middle man in the pay out of money to you. Advertisers will pay google for every click that their ad gets, you will get money for every click on these ads and google will take a small amount. The money is saved up in what is called your 'adsense account' where the money is stored until you reach an amount that google sees as worth a transaction. This differs between currencies. For example in GBP it is £60. This can then either be transfered to your bank account or sent to you by check.
Now. First of all I would like to commend googles efforts on this, there are many other providers who offer the same service, but none that do so with such ease as google does. Google has made blogging a very easy way to make money, and for those of you with a website it also is very easy. Google is very fair in its payments and to me the payments seem generous. However to those of you who think that you are able to make enourmous sums of money off of this by cheating the system, all I can say to you is you will get caught. You may get away with it for a small amount of time, but google being google have some of the best programmers in the world and have a large resource base so cheating them is not easy. If you try you will get caught, so dont go around clicking on your ads from other computers. You will just get your hopes up by seeing your balance increase and then be upset when your account is disabled before the end of the month.
So anyway. To sum up I would say that for those of you who blog or have a website and have never tried adsense before DO IT! Really easy way to earn some extra money with very little effort. I think this service is brilliant! I could not be more please with it.
I am finding that if someone is using Google adsense (say for some months no problem and money increases double month over month) and then they sign up with advertising on Bing - even though Unique visits continues to climb, the adsense clicks suddenly drop by more then 60%!!! Nothing anyone can do I'm sure, which is why and how Google can do this crap, but I wanted to at least let people know what is happening. Its more then scammy its fraudulent! At least one website this is happening too is www.BridgeToRussian.com -FYI
ReplyDeleteOne day after posting this i foung that my adsense account had been disabled. According to i have breached the terms, i dont understand this because i have not once clicked on my own links. I realise now that all my compliments to the service were romantisized. While i was a part of the system the money income did not make any sense to me, sometimes i would gain up to £10 pounds in a day and then just before the day was up the money shown would just drop and drop. The system seems flawed, and it seems that honest people who havent gone against the terms and conditions get discarded. Reading this back to my self i sound way to angry, after all i did not start a blog to make money from adsense, it was an added extra.
