Making serious money with Googles Adsense program has eluded many Web publishers and if you look around some of the Adsense related Forums you will see many people are not too impressed with their monthly cheque.

To earn great money with Adsense you need a Website that receives a large amount of traffic per day, thousands preferably.
The only way to still make good money with a lower amount of traffic is to have a Website thats topic brings up high paying advertisers.

For example if your Website was about Credit Cards or Viagra advertisers could be paying anything upto $40usd per click! You then receive a percentage of that when a site visitor clicks on the ad on your Website.

I currently earn around $10,000 usd per month from Google Adsense and this has partly been obtained by reading an excellent guide, “What Google Never Told You About Making Money With Adsense“.

The basics for getting good CTR’s (Click Through Ratios) are:
