INTRODUCTION — WHAT IS BLOGGING AND WHY IS IT A GREAT ADSENSE EARNER?

There’s a lot to be said for Google’s AdSense advertising program. There’s the way they match the ads to the content of your website. That gives you maximum clicks without annoying your users. There’s the flexibility of changing the way the ads look. That makes your ads attract attention without turning your site into a billboard.

And then there’s the fat checks, of course, delivered month after month. That gives you almost anything you want.

But probably the best thing about the ability to earn good revenue with AdSense is that anyone can do it. You don’t need any specialized knowledge. You don’t need to invest huge sums of money in expensive hardware. You don’t need anything… except a website.

Now, it’s very easy to put up a website these days. You can buy a domain, choose a template and put it on a hosting company’s server in a very short space of time. All you have to do next is fill the pages with good quality content and bring in traffic.

Easy, right?

Sure it’s easy, but it does require a little bit of work and for those who have never built a site before, that process can look like a bit of an obstacle.

The solution is blogging. Putting up a blog and using it for AdSense advertising is simple, fast, and can give you at least as much revenue as building a conventional website.

Blogs originally started as online diaries but they quickly developed into so much more. There are no frills, bells or whistles. You just get page after page — usually on someone else’s server — to put all the text and pictures you want.

You can write about anything you like from your family life to what’s happening in your workplace to what you think about politics, sport, religion or anything else that takes your fancy.

You’ll be amazed at what people want to read.

If a topic interests you, you can be certain it’s going to interest someone else. Those people will come to your blog, read your comments and views, and click on your ads.
