This is the first post in a series of posts I’m going to be making on earning money with Google Adsense.

I’m going to start with some of the myths surrounding Google Adsense, then move on to effective methods for earning money with it…

Google Adsense Myth #1 – “nobody’s really making any money with Adsense”

I have a “skype-buddy” who makes 1500/day with Adsense in a completely, 100% automated fashion. The method he uses is pretty high-tech and involves uses some custom-made scripts (that’s all I’m gonna say on that…)

Google Adsense Myth #2 – ” you only make like 15 cents a click with Adsense sites”

Again, not 100% correct here, , and I’ve seen clicks ranging from 10 cents to $3.38 per Adsense click and those clicks both came from the same site…

However, if you target a niche that has high-paying keywords, then you’ll most likely receive higher-paying clicks for Adsense clicks on your site, generally speaking…

Google Adsense Myth #3 – “…but you need to have a site that’s 3 months old before you can put Adsense on it”

When I start a new Adsense site, the first thing I do is activate one of the most SEO-friendly themes I’ve ever used (the theme this blog uses, Code Blue Revolution).

After the new sites has been indexed, and subsequent posts have all been indexed, I active an Adsense-friendly WordPress theme time-tested for high CTR and start making Adsense “click-dough” shortly thereafter.

Google Adsense Myth #34 – ” You have to get luck and find high-paying Adsense niches with little to no competition in order to make big bucks with Adsense”

Well, there’s 2 schools of thought for finding good Adsense niches

#1 – The first school of thought says to blog about common every day items that get a lot of searches, like household items, any items that are lying around your home or office like furniture, desks, pens, speakers, kitchen appliances etc…

#2- The second school of thought suggests finding the high-paying niches with low competition and “doing more”, or making more with less clicks.
