BLOG MADE SIMPLE

Do you know how newspaper companies make their money? My gues is that you answer from the sale of their newspapers at #2 - #5/copy. Well, I wouldn't actually leave that out but let me reveal their secret to you right now; the bulk of their income comes from the advertisement space they sell in the newspapers.

Secondly let me ask you again; how do you suppose newspapers will funish their websites with even more news than in their newspapers despite the fact that you will be reading all that stuff for free? That's the same strategy used by yahoo.com, google.com and several of the web's billion dollar companies. Do you pay Yahoo or Hotmail before you open an email account with them? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what they stand to benefit by letting you open an email account for free?

GOOGLE ADSENSE
This is a revolutionary advertising program introduced by google.com, the internet premier search engine. It is a direct result of Google AdWords. I will not go into technicalities, but Google.com automatically reads through your website, determines its major keywords, and then displays ads related to the content of your website. You are paid each time someone clicks on any of the adverts displays on your website - these types of adverts are called Pay Per Click (PPC) advertisements. For example, it the central theme of your website is 'NIGERIA' then the AdSense adverts displayed on your site will be exactly targeted to Nigerians. You can register for Google AdSense at www.google.com/adsense.

Beautifully, you do not even need your own website to start earning from AdSense - you can do so with a free website or a free blog. You can start your own blog at http://www.blogger.com/ - it is also owned by Google.com. Google pays you at the end of every month when the AdSense revenue from your blog or website has gotten to $100.
N.B: Do not be fooled into thinking you can repeatedly click on you ownadverts to make money - google will eventually find out and ban you from their network. Once you are banned, you stay banned!

WHAT IS A BLOG?
A blog is an online journal. It can also be referred to as a blog site. The reason blog is easier for everyone to make money with; is that it is an automated system. Once it is working, you can post your articles and it is published at the instant and people well in the globe start seeing it and reading your blog.
Now, people are setting up blogs, but 95% are not making money from it. The reading is that they do not know how to monetize a blog or website.
