How to Earn from Your Blog?

Many bloggers want to earn through their blog. Out of so many advertisement programs available on net, Google Adsense is being considered as the best. Read on this blog post of mine on how to earn from your blog through Google Adsense?

Although I have already written about topics like how can you earn from your blog, how to make money from blogging (actually one more post on same topic as well), etc. but I did not mentioned about Google Adsense in any of the posts.

Although I have mentioned about Google Adsense in so many blog post posts of mine, but never thought to write an entire post on it only. The idea came into my mind a few days back only, when I reached to this blog post of one of my blogger friends Tomichan Matheikal: Ad free Blog.

To be very frank, I am a big fan of his writing and follow his blog since a long time. Although this blog post by him on Google Adsense was not something which would suggest that Google Adsense is not a reliable method of earning; though I have gone through many posts in the past questioning about the reliability on Google Adsense.

Honestly recently I came through this post on Business Insider, in which a few companies are claiming that Google’s Search Ad Policies Cost This Company $1 Million. While another post is there on the same site which you might read about: An Insider Told Us Why Google Takes Millions From Web Sites Who Break Its Rules.

Although there are many instances in which the integrity of Google is being challenged by different companies, which claims that Google out of sudden stopped displaying ads on their site and soon their site had to face a huge financial crisis because of it.

I am no way supporting Google by this blog post, but honestly I am also a Google Adsense Publisher, and honestly by mistake I too violated a few guidelines, but in that case I frankly received intimation from them and I rectified the said things according to their instructions and the things were fine.

To be very frank, one of the managed by me only, got disabled by the Adsense program way back in the year 2007 only. Honestly I did understand the real reason behind that ban and never complained about it, though the amount which I lost due to it was too less (around $237) compared to millions.

As I normally say so many times; that we human beings learn from our mistakes and we should not ever repeat them in our life. The same I applied to Google Adsense program as well, and believe me I am still learning so many things in my life.

How to Earn from Your Blog?

Let us get back to our original discussion. I am not going to discuss about how to apply for Google Adsense program, or how to get an approval from Google Adsense program over here. Frankly I can write two new posts on these two topics. But those are some things which might come in New Year now. Right now I am concerned about discussing about the best practices or ways which can help your blog or site to earn more and more from this program.

No doubt that Google Adsense is one of the most popular make money programs, and frankly this is something which is having the key role behind making Google the number one website. Honestly anyone can earn through it, if they do have a site or blog.

The major concern with this program is that people won’t be able to earn decent amount through it. This is something which decreases the morality of many bloggers or site owners. I won’t have any hesitation in saying this thing that many a times bloggers do made mistakes when it comes to earn from their blog and then they do blame on Google about foul play. Frankly speaking my blogger friend Tomichan Matheikal realized it that his niche is not something which can return him some decent amount from Google, and decided to make his blog an ad free place.

Though I no way claim that he, or blogger like him who writes on topics which are not considered as a money making topic, won’t be able to earn through this program; Certainly they too can earn from it, but yes their income from this program will always remain less than those who write on topics like Finance, Technology and Gadgets, etc.

Here are a few things which can help you to earn from your blog with the help of Google Adsense, which is one the most popular program:

Choose Niche Wisely

Niche plays the most important role in earning from Google Adsense program. Honestly it can also be an important factor behind the approval or disapproval of your application for the same.

To be very frank, if you are writing on topics like personal opinions, or something which not many people are searching, be sure not to earn more from those things. Try to grab things which mostly people at US, UK or Canada search upon.

Choose domains wisely and start writing based on the niche which you decided earlier. Frankly an idea of starting a blog like I News India is also a mistake. You cannot be able to earn huge amounts through such general blogs. In fact niches like Finance, Health, Technology, Blogging, etc. are some of the high profit making niches.

Have a Professional Approach

By a professional approach I simply mean a blog or site which has the feeling of providing some value to its readers. When it comes about professional approach, the first thing which comes into our mind is free domain names, or hosting.

If you are running a blog on blogspot or Blogger, or WordPress.com or any such free medium, don’t expect people to take your blog seriously. I might be harsh with these lines, but frankly neither search engines nor any reader takes your free blogs seriously.

It is not like that you cannot earn from these free blogs or you cannot be a power blogger if you are using free blogs, but it will require too much of efforts to get the ball rolling.

This being the reason why I always suggest others to have their own self hosted blog; there is absolutely no point in wasting your talent on free blogs.

Frankly if you are not accepting these things (own customized domain name and self hosting site) you are actually wasting your energy on blogging.

Do SEO of Your Site

SEO or search engine optimization is the term which helps you to optimize your site from search engine’s point of view. Honestly I am not at all supportive about it being a prime factor as far as increasing your earning from Google Adsense is concerned.

But yes, it is also a fact that SEO plays a vital role in bringing relevant traffic to your website, making it keyword focused and engaging. So indirectly it plays a very important role in increasing income from Google Adsense.

Try to optimize your site or blog for long tail keywords, and keywords or phrases being searched in countries like US, UK and Canada.

Traffic Sources

As I mentioned many a times above in this post only that traffic from countries like US, UK, and Canada is crucial behind increasing earning on your website through Google Adsense program. Honestly traffic sources are one of the vital factors if you are not getting good income from your blog or site.

If you are getting huge traffic from US, UK then your site will suppose to earn more than blogs or sites which are getting major traffic from India, like mine. Along with it, traffic from search engines, also gives a boost to your earnings, and hence the importance of SEO is still there in the market.

Do Realize Your Strength

No matter if it is about earning online or in your real life; but one thing is for sure, if you are not enjoying what you are doing on, or if you are not earning from things you are good at, you won’t be able to expect huge success from it.

It is the fact of our life that we should try to realize our own strength first before doing anything. I frankly realized that I am good at writing on blogging tips and SEO tips and you will realize that throughout the year 2014 most of my posts are on these topics only. To be very frank, this blog post of mine is the last blog post which I am planning to publish on I News India, and see it is also on blogging tips only.

So these were some of the things which can help you to earn more from Google Adsense. Although I did not mentioned about the patience which is badly required while you are developing your blog, but honestly if you want to earn from Google Adsense, then wear this jewelry of patience and soon you will get the results.

Please do share your opinion about this blog post of mine. I will wait for your comments.
