The Best Templates for AdSense With WordPress
ProSense Theme
The ProSense theme was released in May of 2007 and is available for download at no cost to the user. ProSense is available in three colors: beige, blue and gray. By default, there are three columns: a body section and two sidebars to the right of the body. This theme is popular with AdSense members because of three main factors: fast performance, flexibility and ease of use. The fast loading times are due to the minimal file size of the entire page; the web browser has less to download and thus displays the page quickly. ProSense is flexible because of its overall layout. Premium themes that carry a high price tag are expected to have a widget or option for every single bell and whistle possible. All of those features tax the loading time of the page. Since ProSense is free, its users aren't looking for those elaborate features -- performance is what they want. ProSense is great for AdSense because it is extremely simple to add any kind of AdSense ad virtually anywhere on the page. The theme has a set of templates that are made for every type and size ad that AdSense offers. All the user has to do is copy and paste her AdSense code into the correct one.
StudioPress Pro Plus Package Theme
The Pro Plus Package Theme from StudioPress is what's known as a 'premium' theme. The main differences between premium and non-premium are price and features. The Pro Plus Theme is extremely flexible and gives the user the ability to create a truly unique design with her blog. The features enable the blog owner to easily implement content of any kind without spending hours trying to get it just right. At a price tag of almost $300, it can pay for itself rather quickly when using AdSense in combination with it. Much like ProSense, it allows easy implementation of any type of AdSense ad, but with ProSense the user has to manually edit raw HTML code to change the ads; with Pro Plus the ads can be edited inside the Wordpress Dashboard directly. This flexibility and ease of use contribute to getting better conversions on the user's AdSense ads.
The Cutline Theme
The Cutline theme for Wordpress is also regarded as a great platform for AdSense users. The different versions, such as black-and-white and three column, give it enough flexibility for the user to create her own unique blog design. Bloggers who use Cutline have found it to be highly optimized for search engines, more so than even ProSense sometimes. The exact reason is not clear but it is likely do to the quick loading times in combination with the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) codes that are used. Instead of using mostly HTML tables to design the theme's layout, CSS makes up the bulk of the design parameters, and CSS is faster.
Unsupported Conclusions
Anyone who has used AdSense on their blog knows that the only way to make a lot of money with it is to have a large amount of traffic, and the traffic should be relevant and targeted. Newcomers who start a Wordpress blog and then work hard at promoting it for two or three months get frustrated and sometimes blame their negative results on the theme they are using. A good performing theme like ProSense is an easy scapegoat because it is free and popular among spammers. Remember that a theme is just a design. A blog with the most expensive theme in the world but no traffic will not make a cent; the traffic must be part of the mix for the blog to make money.

How to Build a Free Website
1. Locate a free website hosting company on the Internet. Take the time to read and compare services from different providers. Wordpress is a wonderful host for creating a personal website to share with friends and family (see Resources below). It is easy to use and has a variety of templates for you to use. You can easily add pages to your main page and it looks great. You can't, however, place adsense or commercial products on these free sites.
2. Consider Squidoo if you wish to promote your work on the Web or want to feature commercial products (see Resources below). Squidoo will provide you with adsense, which enables you to earn money according to the number of people who click on your adsense ads or make purchases through those ads, and access to Amazon and eBay auctions, again allowing you to earn money if others purchase the items through your link. You are allowed to add links anywhere you wish and you can advertise commercial products. The templates feature a number of modules that you can arrange in any order you choose. The downside is that a Squidoo site contains all information on one long page that readers must scroll to read. Sign-up is quick and easy and does not require a credit card or incur any fees.
3. Check out Bravenet for another host that allows commercial endeavors and is easy to use (see Resources below). You can create multiple pages that can be accessed from the main page. Bravenet offers a variety of ad-ons like adsense and access to commercial products. Signup for this site is completely free; however, you can purchase a service that provides more options, if you choose.
4. Consider blogging sites if you just want to communicate with the world. These range from social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook to a wide variety of other blogging communities (see Resources below). These sites provide templates, so creating the look and feel you want is fairly easy. Both sites provide easy access to groups and make it easy to keep in contact with large groups of people. Most also have the added feature of creating either a public or private blog to limit access to those who you personally invite. Sign-up for their services is generally quick and easy and is free.
5. Be sure the host you choose meets your individual needs and always follow the guidelines for that particular host. If commercial use is prohibited, trying to run a commercial site will only get you banned from their service. Read the user agreement thoroughly and review other sites hosted by them prior to choosing a host.
How to Create a Paid Podcast
1. Obtain a commercial sponsor, preferably a major corporation or large business. This is the best way to generate revenue for your podcast.
2. Solicit donations from listeners.
3. Place advertisements on your Web site or blog. Google AdSense is one way to accomplish this goal. AdSense places ads on your Web site. Each time someone clicks on an ad, you receive a fee.
How to Make Money on the Internet Without Joining Paying Anything
1. Advertise digital products. Manufacturer's and promoters pay commission for sales. Clickbank.com is a popular clearinghouse where you can search for digital products to promote that will pay you sales commission. You don't have to pay anything to promote the products, but you do need to establish a free affiliate account (see Resources). Write emails and post articles relating to the product in lieu of paying for advertisement.
2. Monetize a free blog with search engine ads and affiliate ads. Select products from a digital product clearinghouse and place ads on your blog. Create a free search engine ad account with Adsense (see Resources). Once your account and blog is approved, ads relating to your posts will run on your page. Research keywords that fit your blogs content and then promote your blog through free article marketing, free forum posts and backlinks--when readers click the ads or purchase the digital product through your link, you will earn money.
3. Set up a free blog and accept jobs from websites that pay you to post. Posts range from promotional material to product reviews. You'll need to set up an account with the pay-for-blogging sites, but you do not need to pay anything to accept jobs from them.
4. Work as a freelance editor, writer, website designer, photographer or filmmaker. Visit forums that specialize in freelance position discussions and you can determined which companies offering freelance work are a good fit for you. If a website or forum asks for money to help find freelance positions, move on to a different site.
5. Make money from the Internet as a virtual assistant. Virtual assistants offer administrative, marketing and customer service skills to small business, large corporations and other entrepreneurs. Search for virtual assistant positions by visiting work-at-home forums to learn about companies and openings (see Resources).1

How to Make Money Advertising on My Web Site
Sell Banners
1. Locate the space on your web pages where you will offer to place banners for advertisers. Banners are commonly sold in a number of standard sizes including 300x250, 250x250, 468x60, 728x90, 160x600 and 125x125.
2. Join an ad banner advertising service like AdBrite.com, BuySellAds.com or AdEngage.com. These companies serve banner ads for advertisers that can be placed on your website. Typically, publishers are paid by the number of ad impressions served.
3. Find the offers you want to advertise and place their banner ad code on your web pages. The ad service will maintain a record of each ad impression served and pay you on a regular basis.
Google AdSense
4. Join Google's AdSense program at https://www.google.com/adsense/. Google allows website owners to place AdSense pay-per-click ads on their websites and shares in the revenue generated by each click on the ads.
5. Determine the sizes of ad blocks you want to place on your web pages. AdSense provides a wide range of different ad block sizes for you to choose from.
6. Customize the colors and borders of the ad text to fit your website color scheme. Integrating your ads within your website will usually result in higher click-through-rates and generate more revenue.
7. Copy and paste the code provided by AdSense into your web pages. AdSense will determine the ads served by matching ads with the content of your pages.
Affiliate Marketing
8. Join an affiliate network like ClickBank.com, NeverBlue.com or ClickBooth.com. These companies offer a wide range of products and services for sale on an affiliate basis. For every sale generated by traffic from your website you will be paid a portion of the sale or a fee for generating a lead.
9. Identify the affiliate programs you wish to promote. Select programs that appeal to the demographics of your website visitors in order to maximize your revenue.
10. Place ads on your website. Most affiliate programs provide a selection of banner and text ads available for use by affiliates. Choose the ads that fit the ad space available on your website and that appeal to you.
11. Split-test the ads on your website. Rotate two ads in the same ad space and measure the response of each of the two ads. After you have received 30 clicks or more on each ad, you will have enough data to decide which ad converts better. Remove the other ad and run the winning ad full time.
