   if your goal is only $50
   you don’t have very high hopes

   first of all it will take work and skill to get real traffic
   to even get to your site to begin to click links
   that you get paid for.

   if your site has weak content then don’t expect
   traffic to come or stay or even return
   bottom line.

   Now if you want to put the work in
   to get decent content and promote the site so
   people know it exists

   Then expect to get clicks and a start of some income
   from the site – yet why stop at one site
   why not have many with all types of content.
   Thats how real money is made.

   Still you can’t sit around and expect $50’s to fall in your lap
   from one site.

   Doing it right your income can become unlimited
   again – research how its done and keep repeating
   the process to increase traffic and income.

   I think to show up in adsense you’re going to have to pay into adwords…also look at pages 374-375 of the book Google Hacks for ways to optimize your website for “finding” by the Google “crawler”

   Its not only Traffic. There are lots of other things you need to analyze before expecting a return. Because Adsense is a CPC Program. That means if your visitors are not clicking you will not get anything. So You have to optimize your Advertisement like positioning, coloring etc. And you have to choose Smart paying Keywords which pays good.

   Page Impression = Page View
   CTR = Click Through Rate (Percentage of Clicking means how many people clicked in 100)
   CPC = Cost per click (Cost of the click)

   Here is a site which will help you to find the keywords :

   And you need to know more about Adsense Optimization

   A printable greeting card website is NOT likely to do well with Adsense?

   Why? Because:

   (a) Your visitors come to your site first and foremost to print greeting cards. They are not there looking to research about products (e.g. product review websites) or looking to spend money (e.g. travel information website where visitors want info on hotels, airlines, etc) or looking for money making opportunity. If your site is the END DESTINATION of users, you will not likely get that many clicks —> and low clicks mean lower income

   (b) you are likely to show low paying clicks or Earnings per Click (EPC) , as this is not a space known for expensive ads nor are there tremendous competitions for this ad space.

   (c) If the advertisers are not getting good conversions from your site, there’s the added trouble of Smart Pricing. No one knows how this actually works. But it can affect the pricing of the ads on your site. If the advertiser paid for $0.50/click – but your site is smartpriced – then the cost may be discounted lower (e.g. $0.25). So you may try to develop a site based on high paying keywords but if smartpricing gets to you, then you may not get as much per click as what you are expecting from your keywords.

   Here is Google’s explanation of smart pricing

   (d) your way to compensate for low CTR and low EPC is to get gazillions of traffic. Unless you have tons of traffic, it will be hard to earn $50 a month

   But then again, the only way to find out is to try, right? So apply to Adsense and start showing it in your site and see how it goes
