Before falling in for a Google Money Scheme take a little time to actually know “How Google Pays Money?”. It does so through its Google Adsense program.
What is Adsense program?
Well Google gets a lot of advertisements from advertisers to show those in search results and on pages of partners’ web sites and one of those could be you. From the money that Google get from advertisers, it pays an undisclosed fraction to you.
Now to another question “When do Advertisers pay Google?”.
To answer this question let’s understand these two terms CPC and CPM.
- CPC (Cost per Click) : In this type of advertising method, payment is based on number of clicks advertisements get. If an ad was shown thousands of times but got never clicked advertiser need to pay nothing.
- CPM (Cost per Mille/Thousand) : In this type of advertising method, payment is based on number of impressions an ad receives. Whether those ads receive clicks or not the cost remains the same.
Then what method to Google employ? CPC I think I heard it!
Well, Google Adsense started as CPC based ad scheme and was available to very few selected site. When it was made available to a vast number of sites CPM was also introduced to protect Advertisers from Click frauds. Advertisers can opt to show ads in CPM way but Google has rights to show those for only new publishers (sites publishing Adsense ads) and each publisher too have option to turn off ads following CPM method.
So if I follow Google Money Schemes, turn off CPM ads then I can make a lot of money as the schemes advertise?
In that case you will receive CPC ads and each click on ad will generate revenue for you. But be informed that the advertisers are showing ads to develop their own business and not just throwing away money. With each click they expect one of your visitor to convert into their customer. If they find that while your site generates a lot of clicks but none convert to customers, they will suspect fraud and report to Google. Google in turn checks to see the possibilities of publisher clicking ads on his own site (which is prohibited in Adsense terms & conditions) and if found so the adsense account is closed.
If you think that you start a site today and start generating revenues from day 1 forget it. You need to have a site hat receives a good amount of daily traffic out of which a very small percentage will notice and click the ads. In case you are starting afresh you will need to put into your site a good amount of valuable content in it, do all kinds for promotional activities as search engine submission, promoting it over other sites, and if required even participate in Google Adwords to show off your ads in other people’s site via Google Adsense.
In all it’s a business as any other business and requires hard work, dedication, field knowledge and time.
This is not to discourage you , but to inform that don’t fall prey to schemes that show you that it’s that easy that you can earn as much as $150 from day 1. And even if you participate make sure that you don’t share your Credit Card information with those sites and do read all information particularly fine prints before applying. Your credit card may be charged monthly charges later some time stating that you agreed to that.
