Google Adsense questions?
Goggle Ad sense is simple. You have links on your website that are directly related to Goggle sponsors. When someone clicks the advertisements (Ad-sense links), you get paid. There are two advantages for a company to do this. One is to drive traffic to the website they want to advertise, and the other is to create links to their website. The more external links to any website, it is thought that it places the website higher in the search engine rankings. While this is true, it's not the only way to get good rankings. Ad-sense is expensive for the advertiser, but cost nothing for anyone wanting to place Goggle ads on a website. In fact, if they are clicked you get money, but it's really not much. As far as taxes and age limitations, you really have to contact Goggle for that because I'm just not sure.
Reply:Adsense is a way to monetize and earn money from your site by putting Google ads from their advertising network Adwords. It has been around since June 2003 and Adsense has allowed many website owners to earn from their sites. I highly recommend going through the Adsense Quick Tour to learn more about the program http://www.google.com/services/adsense_t...





However, you are 15, and Adsense has a minimum age requirement of 18 (tax purposes). You need to have your parents or guardian sign up for you





HOW DOES IT WORK





You apply and once you get approved, you can put in the Adsense code in your site. Here are the instructions on how to add Adsense codes on your site https://www.google.com/adsense/support/b...





You earn through various ways:





1. Pay per click - this is the common way to earn which is you earn every time a visitor clicks on your ads


2. Pay per impression - an advertiser can specifically target your site and show ads where you earn via cost per 1,000 impression (e.g. you earn every time someone sees your ad, even though they don't click on it)


3. Referral - you can also earn if you refer a visitor to use Adsense or Adwords, download the Google toolbar, etc.





WHAT PERSONAL INFO DO I HAVE TO GIVE?





In the application form https://www.google.com/adsense/g-app-sin... you will give





- your name


- your address


- if your country qualifies for electronic fund transfer and you wish to be paid by EFT, your bank details


- your SSN or tax account number if you are in the US as Google reports Adsense income to the IRS





IS IT WORTH IT AND HOW MUCH MONEY PER MONTH DOES IT BRING IN?





Some sites do very well with Adsense (even in the millions of dollars a year) while many more sites do extremely poorly with the program (can't even earn $10 a month). One of the misconception people have about Adsense is they simply slap it in their websites and it will automatically earn them big money -- which is not true as evidenced by the many disgruntled webmasters





Your income will depend on:





- the topic of your site (if you have high paying keywords you stand to earn more)


- responsiveness of users to ad (are visitors coming to your site with blinders in their eye or do they look at the ads as additional complementary resource)


- traffic (you earn more with more traffic, even if you have low paying keywords or other metrics)


- how you implement the ads on your site (some positions and colors work better than others)
Reply:2. Once you earn at least $100 in revenue.
