Hosting Google Ads

[ajharper]

Hi,

I am looking at several possibilities for a home-based business. One of the businesses I am considering is hosting Google ads through their AdSense program. I bought an eBook that boasts high returns - anyone out there actually making money from the ads?

Sorry, no answers from me, but another question -

I'm not quite clear on how AdSense works. Do you get paid every time someone visits your page, or every time someone clicks on the ad, or only when a sale is made via the ad?

I'd also be very interested to know if anyone is actually making money from this. It seems there are lot of people using the system - is it really generate that many sales?

Just got curious about this and on browsing for it, I ended up visiting many sites selling books/software that would improve your profit through Adsene.
Am sure the publisher of such stuff must be making money!

The person selling the ebook probably makes more money than people using adsense.

Making money from advertising on the internet today is quite difficult, unlike those days where it's possible to make about $20-$30/1000 page views. Today, even with adsense, in general i think you can make $1/1000 page views or if you are very specialized, then maybe you can make more like $50/1000 page views but then you won't get a lot of page views.

Say if you get 10 visitors to your site / day (if you have a personal site) and each person clicks on 10 pages, then you have 100 page views / day, and in 30 days, you get about 3000 page views, so if you calculate averages of $1/1000 pageviews, then each month you make $3.00.
