So, with all the adword and adsense, it makes sense that if done the right way you could actually pay your adword budget with earnings from the adsense profit margin. Now we enter into online internet marketing. A concept I am still learning about, a topic that I think that is ever growing. And lucky for us, Google has again jumped on board, or rather is letting us jump on board by providing a tool called Google Analytics. I personal have yet to use this tool. So if any one has advice, comments or information, please feel free to comment on this blog about it.
Until you get your adwords campaign going there is a "free" form of marketing called 'viral' marketing. Now I know it sounds bad, but it is a term given to word-of-mouth marketing. Social or network marketing. How, who, why, where and when? Well, Myspace and Facebook are a good example of this and more recently Twitter.
These are all examples of social networking hubs. Places where people can share information about each other, pictures, employment and education, email and chat, plus all the plentiful and useless applications and games, mobster this, your pornstar name that. The point is, these are great free places to network your brand, ie, your self for free. Obviously, as your enterprise grows and so does your desire for greater income, you will need to employ advertising either on your own or with a professional company or pherhaps a combination of the two.
Just as a reminder, in terms of Google Adsense, for me personally, I could not get adsense to work on Myspace. It was at this point in time I refocused my efforts on a different form of passive income, as I have a full time well paying job, I was in search of a low effort passive income. All the time being realistic that the level of this income would be proportional to my amount of effort. Initially, Google adsense on its own seemed like a possible solution. But without much internet experience, nil webmaster skills, and no website of my own, it kinda fell into a heap - initially.

Passive Income
Now, I learnt alot about Google Adsense the hard way. I stumbled on to a guy named Joel Comm. I have never met Joel or had studied what he has to say and what he offers. But in essence, passive income from Google Adsense seems viable - if you are getting the traffic through your site. Now I have read that some people are earning +$250K a year USD from Adsense. Make from this what you will.
I thought to my self, well I need a web page to get some Google Adsense going to start earning myself some passive income, easy. Right? Well, unless you already have a web page, you need to get on, or atleast get online, a blog, a forum or something similar. Then you need to apply for Google Adsense, then you need to apply it to your site/page. Here lyes within my first lesson.
I caught Joel on one of his videos saying that some people have made a decent profit from Myspace and Facebook. Now although this may be true and possible, with my low level of computer knowledge and webmaster skills left me a little bit limited in "simply" applying the HTML Google Adsense code to one of these sites. I personaly have not tried applying it to Facebook, I have however tried to apply it to Myspace. There maybe a way to do it. But I can tell you that I failed. Myspace kept deleting the code. Looking on the Google Adsense blog I have read that both Facebook and Myspace block these codes, basically for use by them selves or other private adds, and really, why not, it makes sense.
So after falling a bit flat footted by not having a site to place Adsense on I made this blog, as you will notice that Google has placed adds on this page. Now as a bit of a disclaimer for those of you who do not already know, it is an offence under the Google Adsense terms and conditions to encourgae people to click on adds placed on your website/page. Thus, as I write about Google Adsense I stress I am writing for information purposes about my experiences and I do NOT encourage you to click on any adds that may appear with this blog.

A little over 18 months ago my mother sent me a copy of a DVD entitled "The Secret". Now for those of you who read my last blog, I will not go back into a story that I have already told. But for those of you who have not heard of "The Secret" I suggest you either read my previous blog or Google it.
Have you ever Google'd your self, something close to you or someone you know? Now I cant speak for every one but a large number of insignificant people I know can be found on Google, if it is used right. Now, of course there is a cavet on this. For a person to be found on Google they either need to be an internet user or interact (atleast) with an entity that uses the internet. This could range from a news paper/reporter or something as simple as an entity that posts on the internet what has recently happened, like the buying and selling of cattle.
Where is this going you may ask. Google is "the" or atleast a major key in my story. I quickly learnt about two terms, Googleadword and GoogleAdsense. Adword in simplicity is the form of paying Google to rank higher in their search return or better know as results. Adsense is the manner for advertising what ever and who ever wants to pay Google to advertise themselves.
In essence, you may pay Google to advertise your company, but Google needs "banners" or "bill boards" on to which to place your add for the general public to see. In walks the website owner. A website owner may apply to Google to display Google adds on their web page at a commission. Thus, you can make money by allowing Google to display other peoples add on your web site, these people are using Adwords.
The amount of money you can earn from Google Adsense is based upon varying factors, the prime factor being traffic, the amount of people you have through your website, and of course depending on the agreement with Google will depend on how you get paid. This can either be, pay per click, or pay per impression. Basically, it means earning a commission either everytime an add is clicked displayed on your web page, or every time that add is simply just displayed on your web page.
Google does all the hard work and determines which adds it will display, in what cycles etc. You dont need to concern your self with this. Why you might ask, seeing as you want people to come to your site and view those adds to earn a passive income. Well the answer is simple. Other people are paying to display these adds, Google is paying you a commission to "host" (provide a place to advertise) these adds. Seeing as you are basically being paid simply for letting Google display adds in your free space means that Google wants to make sure it is getting the most out of you, and hence, they will place the most appropriate adds relevent for your web site.
There are like you would expect, terms and conditions to using Google and its services. From what I understand, they are very strict in how they manage them self and people who promote/display Google as an affiliate. As they are a house hold name you can expect they take them selves seriously and will not tolerate miss use of their brand name and identity.
