Google AdSense Program: You,The Code and Websites

The code of Google AdSense

Google AdSense can be a bit complex, but in many ways when you figure parts of it out, you go and I could have had all this money... Okay not really but this is the Internet and we need to dream big. This is a business, and we all want to make money online. The point is that when you apply for your affiliate account with Google, they ask for information, and then they give you a publishers ID.

One way to dream big is Google AdSense but for many people AdSense is very confusing. Or it is just my writing. But this is a business so I'll try to make it simple. The idea is where can you put your Google AdSense code, and how to get this code. This is the only way to make money with Google AdSense, by using the space provided.

I'll take it a step farther and ask when it is it a good time to put your AdSense publishers code in, or better yet to take it off a hub or a blog or anything else. It is a business, and yes we all want make money but we have to keep in mind: SEO and Traffic and some thinking are the most important things needed to make a good hub that make you money from Google AdSense.


Google AdSense allows you to write hubs, and work on other sites, and for the most part makes it easy for you to do this.
Google AdSense allows you to write hubs, and work on other sites, and for the most part makes it easy for you to do this.

First go Log on to Google AdSense:That part is pretty easy but this is where most people get a bit confused. You will find on the top right hand corner something that says publishers ID. This is the number you need to remember.  Otherwise you will find it hard to make a profit or income with AdSense.

You can use this number for all your websites and blogs and hubs, some of them are pretty easy just a click of themouse and you are done. Other such as wordpress ( A blogging site) you'll need to get a code and add it in.   This is your business and you have to build your business to make more money.

Now this is, of course the basis for google AdSense and codes for websites. You can use this code anywhere and everywhere... but...

Putting Code EveryWhere Means I Make Money Faster.

One Thing before Putting your Code EVERYWHERE: Don't.

See, when you put google AdSense on every hub or one which are poor preforming pages or whatever, you devalue your AdSense code. by devaluing I mean you lose the value of say having Google on one or two hubs or whatever before you get traffic you need.

For example under the edit here on hubpages: you can change your range of how much AdSense there is on your hubs. As a default all hubs are listed as high. But I find that if something is there and people are reading the hub on a regular basis, there is more of a chance that you need it on "high."  The only way to remedy this is by increasing traffic.

If the traffic is poor, I tend to go and edit the Google AdSense to "low or "none." Now you might wonder why i would do such a thing, so I will give you my reason. it might be that your keywords, hence your SEO is poor. This will mean you aren't getting the traffic you need.  So build your traffic then put the AdSense code to high.

If you have something that isn't working to the highest potential, chances are you won't make money on it. So while you are fixing up and seeing if it helps get traffic, put the "Ads" to low or none. This way you can make sure that the hubs which do well make money. This is a hard thing to do, as sometimes you will find a spike in your hubs and then spend two days kicking yourself for not seeing the potential. As I've said in this business you want to make money, and sometimes it is a matter of luck.

It is all about focus.

What to do to Increase traffic to a Hub....

Wait.. wait I am Not Done!!!: Now don't go running back to your hubs and hitting the edit button and going to "Ads" and pushing none, do some thinking. Do some looking go to your stats on each hub and see if there is a pattern. If you use Google Analytics see what makes the site or hub tick. Ask a few questions:

Who is coming to this hub or site? Who comes to your blogs? Do they comment? So you comment back? Do you go to others hubs and comment? Are you visible in the online community?

If you answered no to any of these questions, then you have a probelm, a very big problem and you will need to address it not only to increase traffic but to eventually make money online with your writing.

You need to figure this out before you jump into the whole "i am not making any money. I make zero dollars and I make nothing really, haven't got a payout... but my google AdSense is everywhere!"

The very problem might be that your code is everywhere and no one but you or a few others goes to say a page on your website, or a particular blog or something new like a blog you are getting people to come to. Figure out traffic and you will figure out what to do in terms of your business in making better money from Google. I repeat this is a business and if something isn't doing well, does a business keep promoting it?

You can of course do a "marketing" campaign say looking into improving your SEO and Internet visibility. But you also need to take the time to understand how Google works. Until you decide what works best for each hub and how you can increase visibility then you should put the Google Ads on "low"

Of course even changing where Google AdSense appears on your hubs or blogs or websites do not mean....

I Use Google AdSense

  • Everywhere
  • A couple of sites
  • most of my websites or Blogs
  • Just on my hubs
  • depends on Traffic
  • I can use google anywhere???

AdSense, Money, and Your Business.

You don't need to fix up your work...in this business we all do!: For example often all it takes to get more traffic is to make people feel value from a hub. I know my quality of writing isn't the greatest, and yes I have heard from some irate hub writers who tell me that I should never ever write in the English language ever again. They have such great hub and the hubs are such low scores and.. well you get the idea.

They have a point.

The thing that they are missing is not the quality of the English language, but the quality that people get out of a hub. I tend to go and look their hub and their writing. For the most part their writing is great. The problem is that either they tend not to spend time on their hubs, or they don't have anything for people. This is a business and one must give to receive. You give time and energy and solutions, not what some might think of as "money makers."

Content is a must, but like Google, the content must be needed by othersand it must be something that they can use. Telling what keywords give the most money through AdWords is a great hub, but how will that help you? This is part of the reason for a lower scoring how to hub. Something are small like putting your hub as a link on say Stumble Upon (a social networking site) or fixing up some points.  Editing is a must, but so is knowing how to make money for your business.

There are a few ways to fix your hubs yes, but if you find no traffic, I don't think Google will help you on these ones, so fix them up add polls, or something that makes people comment on a hub. Then see if it is worth putting Google AdSense back in. this takes time and energy but the payoff is worth it.

To your success.

Jphnny-- it depends, if you mean hubpages, it is not a blog, whereas someone on blogger might benefit-- if they have enough traffic.

Rebecca, I learn so much from you. Still got learning to Stumble on my to-do list. The adjusting adsense was something I had never heard of. I am taking my lowest traffic hubs and reducing them to low or medium for a while. I also said goodbye to Hub ads for a little while too. Just have to test it out and see what happens. My frustration is not having enough time to build my number of hubs up faster. Do you think it still holds true that many good hubs will increase revenues, now that Panda is here?

since I read your second to last hub, I'd advise this: Edit, and then fix this up there is much potential in this one, and you have it in you I know it.

Athlyn 23 months ago

These are great insights. Yes, offering content-rich Hubs is the key to earning a decent amount from them. The more you offer to readers, the more your hubs get read.

I read something once that has always stuck with me: your page is competing with thousands of other pages. When you think about this, you'll see why your page has to offer more to rise above the crowd.

kennynext--- not a problem, it is easier the more you work with it. Backlinks is basically a website link, so if you put a hub on to say stumnle upon it will add a link to your hub or site.

ashish11102-- you do not ad your own google ads, hubpageas does that for you, and they split the ad impressions 40-60 ( you get 60%) which is why you don't add your own ads, otherwise you would be in violation of Google's TOS

Now this is personal experience, but I have found that when I put Google AdSense onto every page on my website, there was a drop in how much I made per click. I thought that it was because of traffic, but once I "took" out the AdSense code and only put it on my website pages with higher traffic did my par for each click return to normal.

bravo-- keep up the good work then, it takes a lot of time to get things great.

Rebecca E. profile image

Rebecca E. Hub Author 2 years ago

Aya-- it is the second one i beleive most people feel is correct, as there is a range within keywords as well, if you go to Google adwords and use their keyword tool it gives the highest dollar you can make, but some other give the range, and for example "money" ranges form 1 cent all the way up to about $5.00 an ad. So I would say teh second part is more correct. I would add that relevancy has a lot to do with search engines, which have a lot to do with traffic, so that makes a difference as well.

Rebecca, thanks for answering. I hope you don't mind if I ask a follow up question. Aren't the ads that are shown determined by the keywords we use and how relevant they are to our hub? Or are you saying that within the same keyword range, less profitable ads will be chosen for all hubs if the average traffic per hub is lower?

Rebecca E. profile image

Rebecca E. Hub Author 2 years ago

Aya Katz-- from what i understand it won't reduce teh earning per say but reduce the quality of teh ads shown, which means less clicks, so it can reduce what you make. I have read this is a few palces, but again you need to think about it before doing something.

Aya Katz Level 4 Commenter 2 years ago

Rebecca, I have to admit that I am still confused. Are you saying that if I have my AdSense on high in a hub that doesn't get much traffic this will reduce my earnings from a hub that gets a lot of traffic? How does that work?
