A few weeks ago, one of our readers asked us if it was easy to make money with Google Adsense. This article provides some answers to this question.
Do you consider yourself lucky if you still have no idea what Google AdSense. Personally, I think this program has caused more beginners to fail than any other.
Far be it from me to devalue the advertising program of Google giant, I just give a personal opinion, while remaining aware that nothing is good or bad, it is the use that we make of it. change everything.

Then back to why we are here.
The problem with AdSense websites
It will be said that Google AdSense:
- Guarantees passive income
- You avoid having a customer service
- Is a source of totally free traffic ...
All this is true, but sometimes it's too good to be true.
A few years ago, AdSense revenues enabled thousands of Internet users to afford nice homes and nice cars. But the truth is that today everyone has started it, a lot of software has come into play as well as many other factors that I will not mention here because the list is long ...
It has become almost impossible to be satisfied with AdSense revenue to put gas in your car. And here I am talking about the Anglo-Saxon market where this activity is profitable.

Things are not so easy, and yet there are still some who see in AdSense, the miracle solution in their quest for income on the internet. The problem of home-based work on the internet in the French-speaking market is not only in the absence of markets, demands, but especially in the poor quality of the lessons (training).
We teach people old techniques without even bothering to monitor their evolution and verify their effectiveness ... Yes, you can generate revenue with AdSense, but for that you need:
- A minimum of money - I already see who wonder if I lost my mind because AdSense is completely free. You are right ! But ask everyone who does SEO (Search Engine Optimization) they will tell you that it's anything but free.
You need a large number of domain names, accountWeb hosting, and a lot of expensive software. In addition, you need to write quality content very regularly.
- A lot of patience - indexing a page on the major search engines takes a long time today. Old strategies no longer work. Sometimes you have to wait 2-4 months to see your page indexed.

But that's not enough because you also need more websites than ever before. Most AdSense publishers noticed their profits were going down. More quality blogging on profitable and competitive niches will maximize your chances of generating income.
This unfortunately forces you to outsource everything: market research, keyword research, creation of quality content, website or blog development, Google AdWords campaigns, etc ... And even if you take the time to learn all this , you'll never find the time to complete most tasks within the time frame that meets your income expectations.

The calculations of the robots become more and more complex and the algorithms change regularly. You will need a trainee just to keep track of everything.
To put it bluntly, it's no longer a game for beginners. As in affiliate marketing, you are still dependent on 99% of external forces.
My question is, are you still ready to build your business on a house of cards?

Conclusion
Here is after this observation you ask me: Which business model to choose? For a start, you can still go with affiliate marketing, but after that I think it would be a good idea to move from follower to following status.
In other words you have to think about the long term, how to specialize in a niche and develop your own products.

Helass, adsense is of the Soviet kind. It takes patience and even bcp
Thank you for your article.
According to my experience, content is king.
It is also necessary to diversify the subjects of discussion while remaining in the same thematic. I have often been surprised by the pages that end up on the front page.
It is important to position the ads well on these pages.
It takes a lot of patience and hard work.
Good evening Remi,
Thank you for the contribution.
Thank you for this article, there are other complementary agencies which offer other type of remuneration (cpm, e-mailing, ..) for example http://www.adverpub.com Up to 2.5 € at CPM.
we can integrate on our site CPC ads from google adsense and CPM ads from another agency.
Hello,
Thank you for the article on adsense, I find that we can earn passively but little with ads unless we are on a niche site with a high CPC.
But it will take some traffic to hope to gain some euro.
To begin with I will say use affiliate with ClickBank and google ads.
Hate to read your next articles thierry

Thank you very much for this article
Hello,
Personally I use the affiliation or my own products but Adsence, for the moment, it's just for niche sites.
I can't wait to know more in a future article that you will publish ...
Sincerely,

Thank you for your good comments ..
On the other hand I would like to rectify an aspect, on the indexing of a page on the search engines. A few months ago I could say the same thing. For years I created Internet sites and I I had a long gallery to see my pages appear in the first pages of search engines. Today, after having intelligently studied SEO, made a good summary in this area. I arrive at some pretty incredible results. I wouldn't say 100% but 60%. Unfortunately we create a nice car with our websites and blogs, but we don't give enough thought to the engine in our car. And allow our car (blog) to go where we really want.
I encourage all site creators to look into this subject. And you will quickly see results.
Thank you for your very interesting article. Adsence is a good source of complementary income but you have to have a lot of traffic on its site.
