Adsense
Have you seen those “Ads by Google” that appear on almost every website you visit? The website owner is probably running an Adsense campaign. Google “reads” the content of the website and then determines the best types of advertisements to display that relate to the website. When those advertisements are clicked by visitors to the website, the website owner makes money. The amount of money made per click is in terms of pennies usually. If you have a high traffic website- it can translate into dollars but don’t count on retiring on your Adsense income.

Places like Iotaweb can tell you what the highest paying per click (PPC) keywords are so you can customize your website pages around certain words. Another way is set up websites or blogs around specific keyword phrases that are high paying. “Lemon Law Wisconsin” for example pays $66.12 per click. Meaning there are advertisers willing to pay that much for advertising. Obviously targeting website pages to higher paying keyword phrases is a smart idea.
