How much do you want to make? How hard do you want to work? And how much time do you want to spend working the Google Adsense program? These are the questions you must ask yourself in order to answer that question.
Google Adsense is currently the best way for website designers and owners to generate money online with their websites. Costing nothing to setup, and being able to make money straight away is incredible! Your income will also depend on how much traffic you are generating to your websites pages. Google adsense shows you CTR (Click Through Rate) in your reports section. This shows you the amount of visitors or views compared with how many people click on the links. Play around with the placement of the ads on your site. Consider changing the colors and including them in your navigation system.
What Are URL Channels and How to Organize Them in Google Adsense?
URL Channels allow you to view detailed information about the performance of your Adsense for Content pages.
Suppose you have a blog at onlineadvice.blogspot.com and you also have a blog at worldinfosites.com. It might be interesting and profitable to track which one is getting more clicks. Log in to your Adsense account and click on Adsense for Content. Scroll down until you see Channels and click on manage channels. You may need to scroll up when the next page loads. Under Manage URL Channels you would type onlineadvice.blogspot.com and click on Create New Channel. You will immediately see onlineadvice.blogspot.com in the Active URL Channels dialogue box Now type in worldinfosites.com in the same channel text box and again click on Create New Channel. You now have two channels and you will be able to track your progress on each channel. You can view channel reports from the Advanced Report page under the Reports tab. Choose Adsense for Content, choose the date range and then select the Channels Data radio button. Choose any number of active channels by holding down the CTRL key. Next click on Display Report. It's as easy as that.
As with any other business, with the Google Adsense program, the sky is the limit. Work hard. Work smart. Have fun. After all, you're the boss.

Could one earn money from ads by clicking on its own web site?
By: danbec | 09-12-2006
If I spend the day clicking on ads from Google AdSense on my own web page, will I earn enough money? Would this work or is there any technical lock?Imagine this:- you write a simple static web page filled with interesting keywords such as travel, car, luxury, etc in order to get AdSense to serve good ads. - you click on 4 ads per minute. (that's quite slow).- thats's 240 ads per hour.- working 7 hours a day, that's 1680 clicks per day.- at 10 cents earned per click (this is low I think), that's 168 $ per day.- at 20 working days per month, that's 3360 $ / month. That's an honest salary.- now imagine you earn an average of 20 cents per ad, you then earn close to 7000 $ / month: that's a great salary. And if you are smart you can publish content on your page to attract the the 5 $ ads. Or, you can click faster. Or, you could robotize the clicking and get back to the swimming pool. I'll let you do the math.Where is the catch?
