Does Google Adsense really work? I ask because I read online that the day people could start receiving payments that Google suspended their account because of suspected clicking fraud (although they weren't doing it).

Does it really work?

Adsense is the most popular of all the advertising programs, so yes it does work.

Whether webmasters can make as much out of it as they did in the past I'm not so sure. I've seen a number of people claiming their earnings from Adsense have reduced over time.

The problem with adsense is that it's well recognized now, you know it's a google ad and the newer tech-savy gen of people browsing the web know not to click on them.

Google adsense does work. I've been using it for months. I did not experience any problem on it, and it gives great amount of money of course.

In the past, it's really work but for now the income is decreasing due to improved google adsense system and also these days the people know that they are advertisements so they aren't going to click on them.

Asense should generally be viewed as an additional income rather than the main way to make money online, unless you are making purely for Adsense sites ie micro niche sites
As a general rule adding a couple of Adsense banners to a site which is fundamentally designed for something else is a good thing but trying to make money from Adsense alone requires indepth research into a niche, site building, on and off page seo and many other things to make money.

Sorry about the double post, I don't know what happened and I can't remove it. If a mod could be so good. Many thanks.

It does work but you need a big budget and the right conversions to make it profitable.

Yes - Adsense works.

The key is to provide lots of quality content and add this regularly to attract recurring visitors.

There is no doubt that AdSense works and you can earn good money, you just have to learn how AdSense works, to work hard to learn from mistakes and to work and money will not delay to appear.

Most of the guys banking a few thousand and beyond per month using Adsense have anywhere from 50 to 100+ sites running adsense. Target micro-niches, do proper keyword research and get your sites ranked up for a lot of terms and Adsense can pay a pretty penny.

Adsense works ... do you? And do you have the skills to make it work for you? that's where most people fail.

Choose a subject that you know most about.

Create a website about this subject and keep adding to it daily/weekly/monthly.

That's it!

I really knocked adsense in the beginning, what I didn't take into account is that you have to do alot of tweaking to make it work, and I use it right along side affiliate ads.

I thought I would just slap up some adsense blocks and people would click, but you have to blend it into your content. I also added a link unit under my headers. (it looks like a menu)

I still prefer affiliate programs, but if I can get $1.50 for just a click, that's fine by me.

I'm not making alot with any one site, but if I can replicate it with 15 sites or more sites, that would be great.

But if the clicks are only worth 10 cents, I blend my affilliate ads into the content.

Every sites different.
