How to Start a Subscription Website
1. Contact a webmaster or web design company for assistance setting up an e-commerce or pay website. This job requires detailed, intricate web design knowledge, so if you are not experienced, it is best to look for the assistance of a professional. Webmasters can set up all of the code for subscription sections including payment pages and password protected pages.
2. Sign up for a merchant account through a bank or other service provider. These accounts enable you to accept credit cards through your subscription or e-commerce website. Michael Eagar, an internet business professional, says you should make sure that you will have sales before signing up for a merchant account because these accounts have fees regardless or whether you are using it or not. Merchant accounts require annual fees in addition to a small fee, usually 1 to 2 percent of each sale.
3. Set up an account through a free provider like Google Checkout or PayPal if you are not sure if you will be able to sell subscriptions. Michael Eagar notes that these providers are free until you make sales. Then they will take a percentage of those sales. Free provider percentages are slightly larger than those charged by merchant account providers, but those fees will be smaller in the end because of the annual costs with merchant accounts.
4. Verify that your website is secure so that customers will feel comfortable subscribing and providing their payment information. Several companies such as big names like McAfee and Norton sell products that certify your site as secure. These companies integrate code into the site to scan for viruses, trojans or pop-up problems that could harm a user's computer or steal their data.

Explanation of Google Adwords Adsense
Main Differences
Adwords is used by advertisers who place ads in Google's search pages -- and on websites with related content -- in order to generate traffic to their website. Adsense is used by website publishers who place Adwords ads on their site to generate revenue.
How It Works
Adwords advertisers pay Google a certain amount per click for every click on their advertisements, which appear in Google's sponsored links section whenever someone types in relevant keywords. They can also choose to place their ads on websites with related content for extra exposure. Google then pays website publishers with relevant content -- who are Adsense customers -- a certain percentage of what Google earns from these ads. This percentage is not disclosed by Google.
How to Apply
You need to create a Google email account, then sign in to Adwords using your Google email and password to begin creating Adwords ads. You can design your ad with simple-to-use tools, enter relevant keywords, set your daily budget and specify the amount that you're willing to pay per click.You need to fill out an application with personal information and details about your website to apply for Google Adsense. Google will then review your application and get back to you, usually within a matter of days.
How to Increase Clicks on Google Ads
1. Write keyword-rich content for your website. Google AdSense scans your website and displays advertisements that match the keywords that your articles use. If Google is unable to determine the correct advertisements to display, your readers may see generic ads -- or no ads at all. If you run an article through a text analysis tool, you should clearly be able to determine its topic from the most common words and phrases.
2. Select colors for your AdSense units that blend well with the design of your website. Google allows you to customize the background, text and link colors of each AdSense unit, and a unit that looks the same as the rest of your website will look like website content rather than sticking out as an advertisement -- which readers will naturally look away from.
3. Try different AdSense unit sizes and locations. Google offers AdSense units units ranging from the large 728-by-90 pixel Leaderboard to the 125-by-125 pixel Button. If you find that an AdSense unit is performing poorly on your website, change the size and place it in a different location. For example, the 160-by-600 pixel Wide Skyscraper is intended for a website's sidebar area, while the 468-by-60 Banner tends to fit well at the top or bottom of an article.
4. Place AdSense units next to the most important content on a page. Visitors are likely to look at a website's navigation bar and article titles. Most readers will read the beginning of an article, but not all will read the article through to the end. Therefore, an advertisement above the primary content of a page tends to achieve a high CTR because most visitors will look at it before leaving the page.
