Step by Step Adsense for Beginners - Lesson One
Step One - Get an AdSense Account
Remember these are ten lessons all developed to help you make money using AdSense. Even if you already have websites the lessons will still help you. However, the best lesson for you will come in day 6 when I give you the ultimate lesson.
Get an AdSense account
Sounds simple enough? Even a half brained dimwit can do this.
If you don't have one, click the adsense logo on the right and get one.
Now listen, you do need to have a site going and at least look like
you have a clue what you are doing.
Chances are some of you don't, if you don't you need to build one.
For now, lets assume you have a website.
Check your sites, ensure all the links are working, ensure you fit into Google AdSense Acceptable Use Policy, and then wait.
You will be approved by Google adsense and ready to make money in a few days.
Now, before we move any further we need to address the folks that have
NO site. Yes, its unfortunate but some of you yuppies need help in getting
started. No site, no problem.
First, you could make a typical NEWBIE mistake and go to eBay and buy
templates. These are those packages you see that say "300 AdSense Sites
for $99 bucks!"
Nope. Stay away. Stay Far Away...
These duplicate sites will get you banned from Google.
Expression Web (Formerly FrontPage) and DreamWeaver are two of the best programs for website building and I highly recommend either. However, if you are totally new you may find learning these programs a bit over your head.
Xsitepro is hands down the best program for newcomers and is customized for creating AdSense sites. Its good for idiots like you and me because it has built in search engine optimization tricks.
Mozilla Composer is free of charge and works fine if you already have some html knowledge. It's a beta program and has several bugs that you will have to fix - some html knowledge is needed to do this.
If I was starting over I would get XsitePro to begin with and then graduate to DreamWeaver as I became more adept at web building. It should be noted that XsitePro is considerably cheaper than Dreamweaver or Expression Web (Frontpage) and should be considered when first getting started. The choice is yours.
