How to Earn Extra Money with Pay Per Click Advertising

1. EDUCATE YOURSELF ON PAY PER CLICK ADVERTISING.Before jumping into pay per click, it is important to get a basic understanding. If you do a search on pay per click, you will likely find many resources to help you get a basic understanding.In a nut shell, by placing banners or advertising on your website, merchants pay you a percentage for getting people to visit their website by clicking on an ad. Even if people do not purchase anything from that merchant, just getting them to the site will still make you money. Understand that these clicks pay only pennies, so it will take many clicks to make some substantial money.
2. ADD TO YOUR BLOG.The most popular pay per click is Google Adsense. It is pretty easy to ad Google Adsense to your blog. If you use Google's Blogspot, they make it very simple to add pay per clicks onto your blog. If you use other blogs besides blogspot, it is also a simple process on getting Google AdSense.

3. ADD TO YOUR BUSINESS'S WEBSITE.You must have a website to participate in pay per click advertising. If you do not have a blog, you can also put advertising banners on any other website you have. Just complete the online application at google.com/adsense.The application will ask you for your website's address, and other basic information such as account type, address, and payment option. There are multiple payment options including payment by check, electronic direct deposit, and more.
4. READ GOOGLE'S ADSENSE PROGRAM POLICIES.If you are going to use Google AdSense for pay per click ads, please review the program policy. The policy will outline all the guidelines and procedures on their program. It is important that you understand the rules and procedures before you start putting up ads on your site.
5. WRITE FOR SITES THAT UTILIZE PAY PER CLICK ADVERTISING.If you do not have your own website, you do not want advertising banners on your website at all, or you are not interested in signing up with pay per click programs, you can choose to write for sites that utilize pay per click as your earnings source. Writers for eHow make earnings from pay per click ads placed on their article's page.A downside to this is you have less control on filters, ad placement, or other options as you would with your own AdSense account or other pay per click advertising companies.
6. GET TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE.As stated in the first step, it takes a lot of clicks to make any significant amount of money with pay per click advertising. So, it may seem obvious, but get traffic to your site! This is common sense knowledge, but actually getting traffic can be a challenge.Some suggestions of getting people to your website are: adding your website your e-mail signature, emailing friends/family a link to your website, promote on social bookmarking sites like Twitter, Digg, and Facebook. Another way is by commenting on other blogs related to your website and including your website address.
