Google AdSense - Earn Money

Using the Google AdSense element, you can easily place advertising on your Weebly site and generate money from your website traffic. Here is what an example ad might look like:

The ads displayed are automatically targeted to your website's topic and audience.  You get paid when a website visitor clicks on one of your ads.  The amount can range from a few cents per click to more than a dollar per click, depending primarily on the topic of the ad.

Half of your website visitors will see ads that make you money and half the visitors will see ads that make Weebly money.  This way, we are able to split the revenue generated on your website 50/50.  The money you earn from your ads is paid directly from Google.

To add Google Adsense to your website:

1. Drag on the Google AdSense element

2. Configure your account

If you are new to AdSense, verify your email address, account type, and language to continue.  If you already have a Google AdSense account, you'll just need to confirm your zip code or last 5 digits of your phone number.  Once complete, check your inbox for a Google verification email.

3. Drag Google AdSense Elements onto Your Pages

To maximize the revenue generated from your site, you'll need to place the ads in areas where your visitors are likely to click.  However, at the same time, you do not want your site to appear spammy and prevent people from locating the quality content -- otherwise your visitors will just hit the back button.  Google has created a "heatmap" which shows where people are most likely to click on advertising (the darker the shade of orange, the more clicks that area should receive):

- Advertising in the upper left area of your content or directly in-line with the content has the best results.

- Advertising placed below the content also works well, as people will finish reading and ask themselves, "What can I do next?".

- Experiment with different color palettes.  It's thought that a color palette which matches your site design works best, but bold/contrasting color palettes may also work well.

Here is an example of Google AdSense elements in a Weebly page. Note that we're making use of the two-column element which provides more flexibility with layout options, allowing you to place the ads beside your content.

4. Publish your site. Google will reject an Adsense application if your site is not live, so be sure it's available to Google by clicking on the orange Publish button within your editor
