How Does Google Adsense Program Work For People Wanting to Earn Income?

Advertisers pay Google when someone clicks on their ads which are placed on pages that contain text.  

For example, if you write content about lawn mowers, you will likely see ads from lawn mower manufacturers and/or retailers on that page.  When someone clicks on those ads, the advertiser pays Google and Google pays you. 

Of course, the advertiser is hoping the person that clicked on the add will actually purchase the lawn mower or whatever they're offering.

In fact, Google is very strict about the integrity of this process. 

Let's learn some more!

You are forbidden to click on your own ads 

If you do, your Adsense account will be terminated and you might never get it back. You are also prohibited from asking others to click on "your ads". It makes sense.

Why would advertisers want to pay just so your friends and family could click on your ads when no one is really interested in purchasing whatever is for sale?!

The good news is that it's not necessary to "cheat."

Google Adsense is so easy you'll make more money just going by the rules. Have or write interesting content that will turn up in search engines and you have "targeted" the right people to read those ads.

Just think, somebody you've never met clicks a link and you get paid!

What Not to Tell Others About Adsense 

Shhh...!

Sympathy only goes so far. Not only is it against the Google Adsense Program Policies but if you rely on friends and family members to click on your ads instead of diligently working the program, you're cheating yourself - and the Google Adsense Program.

The "help me out" wail may work when your kid is selling outrageously expensive candles for the end of the year school party but it has no place in the Google Adsense Program.

A better idea! 

If you're asking people to click on your ads, that means you're not optimizing your site for valid clicks as well as referrals. Use that same energy to polish your content and your site.

When family and friends ask what you've been up to, you can proudly show them your hard work. When they see how excited you are and how much you're making, you'll see your referral revenue go up!

So you STILL win!
