What I Learned From Adsense
The IDEAL dream of Adsense business is simple – build a website, attract a lot of visitors and get them to click on your Adsense ads to get paid.
-----------------------------------------------------
No clue what's Adsense? It's a program by Google as explained at
www.google.com/adsense
-----------------------------------------------------
It's obvious why most people like this – it's a 'lazy' job. I like it too. There's no 'work' involved because you don't need to create products, follow up with prospects, provide customer service, creating marketing tools, etc.
Not surprisingly, a lot of people want to learn how to make money from Adsense. That's why there were a lot of courses on this topic previously.
And the funny part is, there's ALMOST nothing special to learn about it because what you need to know is nothing more than how to get free traffic (search engines). Of course, the nitty gritty parts include keyword research, site structure, Adsense ad placing, Adsense ad design and Adsense ad tracking.
Well, actually, keyword research and site structure are part of search engine optimization. You can learn about Adsense ad placing, design and ad tracking in one single ebook or search around internet marketing forums.
But in conclusion – if you can drive free traffic to a website, YOU WILL make money with Google Adsense.
However, Adsense is not how it used to be. Most marketers who use to make a lot of money in Adsense are not making that much anymore. We (my wife and me) used to make 5-figure income from Adsense alone but it's just a couple of hundreds now.
So when someone tells you he's going to teach you about Adsense, ask him if he's still making the 5 or 6 figure income from it today. He's probably making money selling you his Adsense course, which I believe, is less important than learning how to get free traffic.
Back in 2006, I've partnered with another marketer to create an Adsense course called, The Publishing Business Secrets Home Course and we've took out that product from the market place because the strategies are not working anymore. They're obsolete.
If you want to know, here's how we do it – blogging.
We use all kinds of software to auto research keywords, generate content, publish and optimize in the search engines. We're talking about hundreds of thousands webpages being created on autopilot. We were riding on the 'wave' but since it wasn't 'natural', the whole business collapses. Yeah, it sucks but we learned.
We learned one thing – THE POWER OF BLOGGING. By the way, two of the most famous blog software, Wordpress and Blogger are free.
If I was to start again, I'll use blogging to attract free traffic from the search engines because it's proven to work like a charm. And then, I'll promote affiliate programs and build a mailing list so that I'll have a list of prospect at anytime given.
One thing I have to admit, I'm not a guru for blogging. But I know of a personal friend of mine who's doing it and earned $1,152,000 a year doing this with another marketer. I think a million is a lot of money for doing nothing 'unique'.
I would not suggest that you go with Adsense but regardless of what are your monetization methods, here's your opportunity to master the game of blogging from proven strategies that my friend is using:

Both of them will prove to you what they teach works. Here's the claim that's extracted from the site:

"We're Going To PROVE It To You... We'll Actually Dive In WITH You and Let You Watch Over Our Backs As We Build Out Our Own Blogs!
Anik Singal will actually launch his own blog that he's wanted to launch for years and let the students watch over his shoulders. We’ll share ALL of our test results and strategies that we’re using.
We're being forced to prove to you that our strategies work!
What's most important to note here is that we're not just going to give you some guides and ebooks, we're not even going to just give you teleseminar coaching. Our goal is to actually SHOW you what we're doing. There is no better way to learn than to get a chance to see someone doing it.
You’ll watch as we practice what we preach and get traffic to our blog within 10 minutes of setting it up. Only YOU will be able to watch the process. It'll be as simple as watching what we do, pausing the video, and repeating it yourself.
Every time we take an action, we'll explain exactly why we're doing it. We'll go back later and point every step out and what its consequences were so you have a 100% understanding of what works and why.
We'll also keep you up-to-date with any new strategies that we develop or any major blogging news that is important...”

Hello Patrick,
It came as a shock to know that you are not making the kind of money from adsense as i would have imagined.
Anyway, you have other im product to make up for those loss.
Nice tips.
Will take a look at the blogging class which you have mentioned.

Hi Ptric
This is great post about Adsense and Blogging.
But I really want to ask you, as an expert in internet marketing, if for some reasons someone can't put Adsense ads in his blog, what are the other programs (like Adsense) you recommend for people who live outside USA?
Please note that yahoo ads are not permitted to people outside USA.
Thank you.
Hilal
Patric,
Once again, you have risen above my expectations when you wrote about Adsense. Your honesty is refreshing and appreciated. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Best Regards,
Patrick
Its kind of dissapointing to hear that Adsense is no longer a lucrative and easy source of income for upcoming internet marketers.
But what about other blog adverts e.g. nuffnang, advertlets,etc..?

Hi Rahul,
Yup, LUCKILY I don't rely income from Adsense. :-) Many marketers suffer disastrous result due to this because the income drops drastically without a way to prevent it.
Hi Hilal,
Thanks. There are definitely other programs similar to Adsense there like searchfeed.com but the point is, it's still the same 'lazy man' business model.
If you prefer to run on this type of business model, the main focus is how to drive free traffic to your webite consistently without the risk of getting delisted from the search engines.
Hi Patrick,
Thank you for the kind words.
Hi thrift solutions,
My business model is always to sell an info-product and build a business resolve around it. This is proven to work successfully, period.
You "Chan" Do It!
