Turn Revenue-less Sites Into Cash Cows
A cash cow is an entity that exists and keeps generating revenue on an ongoing basis. Any website that has a decent amount of content can become a cash cow thanks to AdSense. The easiest way to explain the process is to walk through a scenario.

Let's assume we have a website that specifically targets collectible teddy bears. For the sake of this article, assume we don't actually sell anything on our website. Instead it's just an enthusiast site with a LOT of quality information about collectible teddy bears that was formed from our passion about teddy bears. The website is somewhat established and gets maybe 30 or 40 visits a day from search engines and word of mouth. People come to the site, read some information, look at a picture or two... and then leave. Although we're providing quality information to our visitors, we're missing out on a key component that can benefit both our visitors and our wallet. Google AdSense! AdSense allows us to generate a small "script" file that we drop into any page or section of our website. When a visitor views the page the AdSense script is on, he or she will see context-specific ads that are completely relevant to the page they are viewing. What this does for the visitor is give an option to find additional information of relevance that we may not have on our website. What this does for us is open a channel of revenue that didn't previously exist. If a visitor clicks on one of the context-specific ads we make money! It's really THAT simple!

By placing context-sensitive ads on our website using AdSense, we've established a money-making campaign that requires little to no maintenance on our end and only took a few minute to implement. What we've done is set-up our very first cash cow!
