Google AdSense can actually make dollars too, but the big question is always how do I start and how much can I make?  It's not really about the money, it's about providing "GREAT CONTENT" on your site weather that be a Blog, photoblog, vlog, podcasting page etc.

Google AdSense Tools - 5 Tools that Make Sense Cents

If you create sites just to run ads, you're not likely going to see any real worthwhile results.  If you have a niche and can drive traffic and visitors to a site, you should investigate adding some adsense ads to the page and see how you do.

Be careful not to over do it, sometime adding too many ads can be distracting and turn visitors and traffic into "Red X Clickers" maening they leave as soon as they get to your site.  It's called the "Red X Syndrome" and is usually caused by weak content and too many ads.

"On May 2009 Google released a new feature called “Google Wonder Wheel” .

1. Go to Google.com
2. Perform a "Keyword" or "Phrase" search
3. Once the results load, click on the "show Options" link.

  
4. Click on the "Wonder Wheel" under view options.

 

5. Now watch the wheels turn.

Google Analytics Tools

Google Analytics Tools

There's no better tools for analyzing your website or Blog traffic.   Google Analytics is a tool we have been using for years on nearly every website and Blog we own.  The reports and their accuracy are the best we have seen out of any tracking or analytics widget or site on the WEB.

Take a look at some of these graphs and charts, it's obvious that if you're not tracking your data and traffic results, there no possible way for you to know what areas are working, where you need to improve, and what you need to change to get the maximum results and business out of your site!

 

Google Analytics is the BEST and ONLY way to analyze your activity if you're looking for reports, results, efficiency and accuracy.  Doing the same thing over and over expecting a change is a sign of insanity, that's why Google created analytics .... for those who want to stay sane!
