Make Money With Google – How?
The 4 main ways you can make money with Google are Google Adsense, Google Adwords, Affiliate Marketing and Google’s Blogger.com. Let’s take a look at these individually, discussing the basics and benefits of these main avenues to gain revenues using Google.
Google Adsense
This is by far the easiest way to make money with Google. AdSense is Google’s own ad service that will display image, video or text advertisements on websites. If you register successfully with the AdSense program, you will earn money anytime someone clicks on a Google Ad on your website. The best way to make use of this service is to set up a blog and add informative and unique content regularly. If you write about something people are looking for you stand a better chance of earning money. Please bear in mind, do not click on your own Adsense ads as this will result in your Adsense account being banned by Google.

Google AdWords
Google AdWords is Google’s own pay-per-click program. Unlike other methods which are free, Google Adwords is paid advertising that requires an investment. Basically, Google allows advertisers to bid on certain words and then for a price, Google will display their adverts under the title “Sponsored Links” in search engine results and on other websites. If you can, you can use AdWords to attract traffic to your website to increase the sales of your product or services.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is where you promote and sell another company or persons goods and services for a commission. Many of the top stores online run affiliate programs, one of the most popular being Amazon. The best way to do this is to target a specific keyword with your website that is connected to the product or services. This way by using proper SEO or promoting your product using popular social media network like Facebook, you can bring traffic to your website. If the people are looking for what you are promoting, they may use the link on your page to get that service or products, resulting in commission.

Hey Peter, just wonder, do you try Google Affiliate Network? Any success?
Tan,
No I haven’t but I have something in mind and that I might go for it one day.
There’s a google affiliate network?? Hah! That’s a new one for me! Glad i read this post. I really need to read more and spend a little less time tweaking html pages. ugh!
Google bought an affiliate network then re-brand as Google Affiliate Network, but I can’t remember the original name. I did join before Google bought it, but account disabled due to inactive. You may Google it for more info.
Thanks for helping me in answering that Tan 😛
On some other day, I also notice that they need Google AdSense account to join Google Affiliate Network as they distribute the payout through Google AdSense. But I think this is too risky as you may lost both accounts once banned. Due to this reason I am still not manage to apply, the purpose of joining affiliate network is to diversity my income.
Very helpful post. Maybe you have helped some people to quit their job and live the life they want because of the freedom they got with this. 🙂
Glad you find the post helpful Danny 🙂
I will have to check out the affiliate network in Google. I personally love Google as they are always changing for the better. There have been a couple of changes that weren’t great, but overall they have been adding many things to help us earn more and do more. When I try it out, I will let you know how it works out!
Looking forward to it Dawn. Thanks 🙂
I make money with google using adsense. Google adsense allows people to put ads on their website’s or blog. When the visitors visit your site when they click on an ad, Google paid us owners. Now in order for us to earn that kind of amount we need a lot of traffics whether search results traffic, direct traffic or referral traffics. how do we do it we optimize our site to rank well is serps. more traffic more money.
Doing well with Adsense Trung? Do you use any Adsense alternatives?
just a litle money from adsense 🙂 I also use Bidvertiser on my blog 😀
Google is the leader of the pack these days, and as average people who want to make it online, we have no choice but to get in on their projects, at least until we establish ourselves enough to become independent. Thank you for listing all our options, it helps a lot to see what we can choose from. I hope they are still able to produce a reasonable income with all this competition around!
Thank you and best wishes,
Leonard
You’re welcome Leonard!
I know about every points but this is my first time i am hearing that google provide affiliate too.

I would recommend Adsense, but also add to this that content is king, and copying doesn’t really get you anywhere, original content is the best way.
Millions of people in the world are making good income from Google Adsense. And this earning technique is very good and effective for the bloggers. If some one is planning to do any business from home then Google may be the best medium for those who are planning to earn from the websites.
