It is only about two months that I came to know about the Google Adsense program. First I thought it is a great chance to earn something with very little effort. I’m sure you’ll also think like that when you first hear about it. But it’s not so easy always.
According to what I have seen in the last two months most people create a web site just after they came to know about Adsense just to make money. Their ambition is not to provide something useful for the visitors but to make revenue. So they put some garbage into their sites and ask their friends to visit the site and click on the ads (that’s what I’ve seen). But here what happens;
After few email campaigns and getting help from friends you can earn something around $20-$40 within few weeks. But Google withholds your earnings until your account reaches US$100. But if you created a web site just to earn revenue and if your content is poor you won’t have anymore visitors. So, you stuck without knowing what to do. And you won’t be paid.
These pending payments are recorded on Google’s balance sheet as “accrued revenue share”. According to wikipedia, the sum of all these pending money in the end of year 2006 is little over US $370 million. So you can see how much money they are holding which is actually owned by Adsense users.
But here I’m not asking you to stop using Adsense. It’s actually a great way of earning for the small scale web site owners where they can’t find sponsors. But the first thing you have to be aware is that you have to be able to earn at least US$100. So, you need to have a master plan. The content of the web site should be good enough to attract the visitors and you have to make sure to have a constant rate of (or increasing number of) visitors.
So again I’m warning you, use Adsense if you can earn at least US$100 or otherwise you’ll have nothing.
