Monetizing Your Blog With Google Adsense

1. First, you must sign up for Google Adsense. In order to do so, simply go to Google’s homepage and start an account with them.
2. Go to “My Account” under your Google Adsense account, and then note your pub number. This will be a number which will begin with “pub-“ and then have a series of digits. It will be in the following format: pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Copy this number down for later reference as you will need it to help monetize your blog.
3. Find a blog hosting site that allows its users to monetize their blogs and shares its marketing revenues. The vast majority of these sites do so by integrating each user's Adsense account into the website. In order to find one, simply go back to Google’s search engine and type in “blog monetize revenue share.” This will return a host of different websites from which you can pick.
4. Feel free to pick more than one site, but also make sure that the site you pick lists a competitive revenue sharing rate. They should usually offer to share at least 50% of marketing proceeds with you.
5. After setting up your account with this new blogging website, you will usually be asked for your Google Adsense information. This is where the “pub” number from Step 2 enters the equation. Give that number to your new blogging website and this will monetize your blog posts.
6. Blog! Go ahead and share your opinions. Remember, the Google Adsense advertisements will be targeted specifically at whatever you write about, so make sure to write about things that use good keywords in order to make as much money as possible.
