How long does it take to make money with Google Adsense?
Through the creation and maintenance of this very website, I have come to learn first hand how long it takes to start making money with Google Adsense. Creating a website solely for monetary purposes using Adsense probably isn’t the most recommended idea for new webmasters. I certainly would not recommend it. However, I have learned that regardless of how much solid and unique information that you can provide, you may not reap the rewards of Adsense if you do not properly market, promote, and update your website. I get 100% of my traffic solely through search engines. I do not participate in link exchanges or PPC (pay per click advertising). This goes to show that solid content is the key to a good website.
I am not glorifying my website or criticizing it, but I am saying that if you look at the highest Adsense earners…they all have the same thing in common; the highest Adsense earners all have quality content on their sites and constantly update these sites. It is a proven way to make money online. It is not necessarily a direct correlation to the saying from the movie “Field of Dreams”: “If you build it, they will come.”, however it is very similar. You have to build a quality site and continually update it to reap the benefits of Google Adsense. You also need to have a good website layout, aesthetics and good ad placement. Don’t over do it with ads or you will turn off your visitors. Don’t solely rely on your own opinion to judge the style of your site…ask friends and family how you can improve it. Chances are that if you ask them if they like it, they will say yes…because they ARE your friends and family and have a mindset to support you.
To answer the question that is posed with the title of this post, well is not that easy to do. Some people throw a site together and make money in the first day from extremely good marketing and promotion of that site. However, many people create a wonderful website but can’t get the traffic count up high enough to make much money with Adsense. Notice that I said “much” money in that last sentence. You may make $5 in one day and then nothing for the next two weeks. Although it is more likely that the pattern of making money will repeat after about 2 months of not making any or much money at all. This has been the pattern for this and many of my other websites so far. After 2 months of making little or no money with this site, I have turned the table through organic search engine optimization and now make money every day online. I never said how much I make every day but I do make money with Adsense every day.
I am not bragging or anything of that sort because I make money with Adsense. Anybody can make money with Adsense. It really isn’t that difficult but it can be very time consuming and tedious. If your site is new, keep at it and keep on posting relevant, unique information and the visitors will come. A good way to find out if your website is indexed on google is to go to google.com and enter the following into the search bar: site:http://www.yoursitehere.com. Replace “yoursitehere” with your site name and the appropriate domain and you will see how many of your pages are indexed by googlebot. If you work hard, your hard work will pay off in time. For me, knowing that I might make a difference in someone’s life by convincing them to try or not try a technique or program is much more satisfying than making money doing so. Although I certainly wouldn’t care to give up the possibility of making money while doing so either.
