Google AdSense lets website owners earn money by showing targeted ads. It can provide steady supplemental income, but results depend on traffic, niche, and compliance with Google's policies.
PPC (like AdSense) still works, but competition, ad blockers, viewability standards, and browser autoplay limits mean pure "pay-per-visit" audio scripts never became mainstream. Diversify into subscriptions, sponsorships, affiliates, and programmatic ads while testing new channels carefully.
A concise guide to Google AdSense: what it is, ad formats, how to add ad code, revenue models (CPC/CPM/RPM), and practical steps to start and optimize responsibly.
Updated AdSense guidance: focus on user intent, mobile-first content, compliant ad styling, and data-driven testing. Use responsive units and A/B tests to improve revenue without disguising ads.
AdSense click fraud includes self-clicking, bots, and manipulated ad code. Networks use automated and manual systems to detect invalid clicks, which can lead to withheld earnings, account bans, and in serious cases legal action. Follow AdSense policies and monitor traffic quality to avoid penalties.
AdSense isn't a shortcut to easy money. Common scams - paid keyword lists, secret e-books, and automated ad/content tools - promise fast income but often violate policies or deliver poor results. Focus on original content, legitimate keyword research, and official AdSense guidance.
Pay-per-click (PPC) charges advertisers only when users click their ads. Modern PPC uses auctions, relevance metrics, and multiple platforms - primarily Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising - to deliver search and display ads. Manage keywords, landing pages, and fraud risk to run effective campaigns.
