Article Submissions
There are many places online where you can submit a short (400-600
word) non-fiction article about something you know. This article could
be your first blog posting, it could be something you come up with just
to post on an article directory website, or it could be an article you
have someone else ghostwrite and then publish under your own name.
This is one time where having other people write for you probably isn’t
a bad thing. As long as the article is good and sound it really doesn’t
matter if it was written by you or a ghostwriter you hired to write it.
Submitting an article to an online article directory is free, simple, and
easy. Simply turn one of your blog posts into an article which can
stand alone, and then submit it to the article directory of your choice.
(Some popular ones are articlealley.com, contentdesk.com,
ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com.) There are also automated
submission programs you can use to submit your articles to many
article sites all at one time.
Attached to your article will be a “byline.” Your byline will contain
information about you and a link to your blogs and other websites.
You could have your byline read something like “Jane Smith is a
programmer by day and blogs on horses at night. See her amazing
programming website at www.iprogram.com and read her blog at
www.besthorseblog.com.” This example byline just created two back-
links for every time you publish the article; one to the programming
site and another to the horse blog. If you post this article five times
on the web you have ten back-links to your sites.
Also, many article sites allow you to publish non-exclusive rights
articles on their sites. This means that you are free to post the same
article on other article sites as well. Each time you submit the article
you build links to your site. In addition, other bloggers and
webmasters will link to these articles on their own relevant sites and
that creates even more links for your site as well. By submitting
articles to article directory websites you can build links easily to your
site to increase your search engine rankings.

Signing Up For AdSense
Once you have your blog created in Blogger, signing up for AdSense is
a very easy thing for you to do. The first thing you will want to do is
go to the AdSense Console located online at:
https://www.google.com/adsense/
On the AdSense starting page you will want to click on the “Click Here
to Apply” button.
Clicking on the “Apply” button will take you to a second sign-up screen
where you will enter the URL of your blog, your name, address, phone
number and the other usual basic information about yourself.
You will also have to check the boxes agreeing that you will not ever
click on your own Google AdSense ads, that you will not put ads on
sites which include incentives to click on the ads, that you will not
place ads on sites with any pornographic content, that you can have
checks made out in your own name, and that you have read and agree
to the AdSense Program Policies. Remember to take the time here to
read and understand the Program Policies!
The last selection, the AdSense Program Policies, is very important for
you to read and make sure you fully understand it. Google is very
vigilant about compliance to their rules and regulations when it comes
to AdSense. You cannot ever click on your own ads, you cannot ask
your readers to click on the ads hosted on your sites, and you need to
understand where you can place the ads and where you cannot.
Understanding the AdSense policies and rules will potentially save you
a lot of hassle in the future.
Once you have applied to host AdSense on your blog you will be asked
to confirm your request via the e-mail address you have provided on
your application. To do this, simply open your e-mail client, and click
on the link to confirm that you did indeed apply for AdSense in the
message Google has sent to you. This step insures Google that you
are who you say you are.
Once you have confirmed your request by clicking on the e-mail link
you were sent, then you will need to wait to be approved by Google.
Google generally takes about two to three business days to get back to
you. Generally AdSense is approved for anyone who applies. They
are mostly just making sure you have the site which you say you do
and that you do not have another AdSense account already. They are
not really looking at your site itself and what’s on it. Even if your blog
has a single post on it that’s fine and they will approve you for
AdSense hosting.
During the waiting period there is nothing you can do with AdSense
other than think about where you would like their ads to show up on
your blog. Because of this waiting period, it is best to apply for
AdSense right after you have created your blog – even if you have yet
to post a single message to it. After you have applied then the first
thing you should do is make a post to your blog so that Google can see
you are making a blog and what it is basically about for the approval
process.

Making Money with a Blog
Blogging is one of the only truly “free” start-up business models on the
internet. You can quickly and easily sign-up for an account with a free
blog service such as Goggle’s Blogger. From there you can add
AdSense and other affiliate links to your blog and make money from
your visitors clicking on those links. This is referred to as monetizing a
blog – making money with a blog. You can accomplish all of this
without ever spending a single cent of your own money.
Google started a program called AdSense. AdSense is for website
owners to make money by hosting other business’s advertisements on
their websites. These AdSense ads can also be hosted on a blog, even
if it is hosted by a free blog service. Google owns both Blogger and
AdSense so they are both programmed to be very simple for anyone to
use. Because Google owns both Blogger and AdSense they go
extremely well together.
With AdSense you paste the code the program generates for you into
your Blogger template. Where the advertisements will show up on
your blog depends entirely on where you choose to paste the AdSense
code into your template. Later in this eBook we will talk about how to
generate AdSense code and exactly where in your blog template to
paste that code is.
AdSense additionally allows you to blend in the ads with the content of
your blog. This helps to make your AdSense ads look more like your
written content and less like advertising billboards.
AdSense is also intuitive enough that it will serve you ads which match
the topic and content on your blogs. For example, if you have a blog
on saving money then AdSense will likely serve up ads for coupon
clipping services, freebies online and other things which match your
blog’s topic. On your saving money blog you will not see ads for
irrelevant things like animal care or technology products.
How do you make money with Google’s Adsense? Google pays you
when the visitors to your blog click on the AdSense advertisements on
your site. This is called “click through.” Google pays you a varied
amount depending on the ad which was clicked on.
