One of the most popular ways of making money online from home is by becoming a publisher for the Google Adsense programme. Once you've been approved, you can place a bit of code on your website to display relevant advertisements. Google pays you a percentage of the revenue it gets from its advertisers and this is how you make money with Adsense.

Here are 7 tips for succeeding with Adsense as an online publisher:

1) Choose a niche that has a high payout and a good number of competing advertisers. If you have advertisers jostling for position this will bump up the amount they are bidding and ensure you don't suddenly have a market with little or no advertiser interest.

2) Do your keyword research. Don't choose keywords that have no advertiser interest or search volume. You also don't want the keywords you choose to be too competitive.

3) Use unique content. Write content by hand, don't use private label or duplicate content from other sources. If you want your content to rank, you must write it yourself or outsource it.

4) Drive targeted traffic to your website. Don't waste your time with social media that drives highly untargeted traffic to your money site. The best traffic comes from people already interested in the content your website is offering.

5) Offer quality content but don't provide the absolute solution. Seriously, you want the advertisers ads to be offering the solution to your visitor, not your content. Make sure your content is good and worth reading, but don't give away the farm when you want to make money with Adsense on your site.

6) Display ads in prominent positions. You may want to check out the Google heat map for ideas on ad placement. As a rule, above the fold is the way to go.

7) Monetize your site with more than Adsense. Give your website visitor more than one option so you are providing something of value. Give your visitor links to other useful web properties as well.
