Ways to Make Money Blogging on BlogSpot
Adsense
Adsense is Google’s advertising placement program for website owners. It is the most popular CPC and CPM-based advertising network in the world.
In fact, top websites and blogs such as CNN, Forbes, WikiHow, Huffington Post, and Time magazine monetize their sites with Google Adsense.
Publishers can monetize their sites in a few distinct ways. They are,
- Text Ads on content
- Banner ads on content ( Both Static and animated banners)
- Paid listing on search boxes.
And advertisers can target people in a few different ways. A few targeting options are;
- Country
- Language
- Websites (can whitelist or blacklist sites)
- OS (Operating System)(
- Device
- Keywords
The above targeting options are as important as for you too. Because
if,
- The majority of site visitors are from tier 3 or tier 2 countries,
- Language is not matched with advertiser’s landing pages/offers,
- Your website has low-quality traffic,
- Operating systems (s) are not profitable for advertisers,
- Device targeting is very narrow,
- Your site doesn’t have buyer keywords,
You will make less money with Google Adsense. (I will talk about how to increase your AdSense earnings later in this section)
How it works…
Making money with Google Adsense is very simple.
- You signup on Google Adsense.
- A member from Google Adsense will review your website.
- Decide whether your website adheres to webmaster guidelines and Google Adsense policy.
- Google Adsense approves your site.
- You make an ad on the Google Adsense dashboard. (on different dimensions)
- You place an advertorial on your BlogSpot blog. (On most occasions, sidebar, within the content and enable Google ads on Google search box)
- You make money from each click and impression.
The process looks easy to make money blogging with Google Adsense. However, many bloggers fail to make enough money, and some can’t get into Google Adsense.
Key Factors to Make More Money with Google Adsense on Your Blog
Your Adsense earnings solely depend upon a few key factors.
- Keywords: Probably the #1 factor to make a little money with huge impressions and make more money with little impressions. Using keywords in the proper places on your site is essential to making a good amount of income through blogging. Keyword research
- boils down to SEO. Check the FAQ section below to find out more details.
- Traffic Quantity: Google Adsense is also a CPM ad network. Therefore, the more impressions your blog generates, the more money you would earn from Blogger. And even if your ad placements get a low CTR, as your site generates more volume, it may get a pretty good amount of ad clicks. So, more money you’d make.
- Traffic Quality: CPM rates of sites like CNN.com, Forbes.com, and Entrepreneur.com are much higher than other sites that receive low-quality traffic. Generally, this happens because people who visit sites like Entrprenuer.com are business owners, managers, directors, and small business owners with higher household incomes per year.
- Your Niche: If your blog’s niche couldn’t or isn’t monetized yet, then you will not see higher Google Adsense earnings. Because when your site’s content has keywords that Advertisers have not bid on, your site visitors will see irrelevant or retargeted ads. They are generally cheap traffic for advertisers. Because Advertisers have either targeted a narrow audience (when retargeted) or no one comes to compete with them. (doesn’t start a bidding war)
- GEO Distribution: Some GEOs have more buying power than others. So, each group has been named Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3. Generally speaking, Tier 1 countries such as the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia spend more money online, so traffic Prices for these countries are high.
Meanwhile, SEO keyword competitions for those GEOs are also higher, which means advertisers spend a lot of money on those GEOs.- Your Traffic Quality: When advertisers optimize their Adwords campaigns, if they find they get a high ROI from the traffic from your blog ads, they will create a unique whitelist campaign, target your domain, and bid higher for your site traffic. So, your Google ad clicks will get higher CPCs, so you will earn more money with Google Adsense ads.
- Keyword Competition: You will find terms such as “Low,” “Medium,” and “High” in Google Keyword Planner. They are meant for Google Ads advertisers. When a specific keyword converts better, and advertisers make a profit, they spend more money to increase the rankings of ads. So, it starts a bidding war. The more it continues, the more you will make and more money Google will make until advertisers stop the bidding war.
- CTR: CTR is the shortened name for Click Through Rate. It can also be expressed as the average number of clicks an ad receives per unique 100 visitors. Higher CTR means advertisements are clicked more, and so you make money. However, there are industry and site standard CTRs. Google has all this data. A suspicious high CTR could cause your Adsense account to be terminated.
- Placement: Generally, ads above the fold get more impressions and clicks. So, you should try to place your ad above the fold in most cases. Don’t overdo this because Google keyword ranking will be decreased as Google starts penalizing sites with extensive advertisements above the fold.
- Ad type, size, and Ad design: You can find a few ad sizes and types in your Google Adsense dashboard. Split test to find a good one that converts better for your blog’s audience. However, you can do much more things with the ad design. (for banner ads) It solely depends upon your advertisers. They will do their best to create attractive ads. Because higher CTRs are cheaper traffic for them.
These are the top key factors that matter to your AdSense earnings. As you see, many of the above points are variables that you can change.
Posting quality articles will attract quality traffic.
Quality posts with in-depth content will rank for more long-tail keywords with buyer intent.
First, you need to focus on maintaining an authoritative blog. So, you will make money from Google Adsense effortlessly.
