You don't have to pay anything to start. But you need to have a website (Not Paid To related) to place their code.
It's worth it cause they really pay.

They don't accept your site when it has anything to do with get paid or incentives....
You can't force the visitors to click any ads either so if you really want to earn you need a good site where people come back after visiting it.

In order to make money with google adsense, you will need at least one website with real traffic.
If you don't know to make one, prepare to spend money. After that you'll obtain profit.

You don't have to make an entire website for adsense. If you have a good blog then you can put adsense ads on your blog. I don't know about other blogging services but blogspot does link your blog account directly with your adsense account. You don't even have to put any code in your blog there. They do it for you but you can still put extra ads in if you want to.
But like others have said, in order to make a lot of money from adsense you will need a lot of traffic to your site. Not automatic traffic but real visitors that have a legitimate interest in your site. I think writing a blog would be easier to get that traffic but if you want to create your own website and don't want to spend any money then you can use a free web service like freewebs or bravenet and place your ads there. But whatever you do just make sure you don't click on your own ads. They keep track of that and will ban you if you do.

I love Adsense - it is truly easy money. It is, however, not a lot of money unless you do have huge amounts of traffic. But really... how can you complain about $100 checks just for putting some code on your site? If you are building a website, you want to get traffic anyway, right?

Yes. As many members said above, a website or blog with high traffic is the key to success with 'Adsense' or any pay per click ads.

To start with AdSense you need 0.00$

It's free, but you can earn great money if you have a site with a lot of visitors

You can treat Adsense like a real business. The better your website is, the more people will be interested, which equals more traffic and better profit. On the other hand, it is easy money if your website is something you like to do for fun and ads come as an addition. You basically get paid to have fun! So, I would say it's definitely worth it. Just don't break Google's terms.

AdSense is worth it but it does take work. I'm making four figures a month with it. A blog is a great way to start. Post daily if you can, but consistency is the real key. If you don't have the time for daily posts, post every 3 days. Just make sure you do it EVERY 3 days. Enable ping and RSS to your blog. I would recommend getting indexed from Google before I add AdSense to the site. It should only take a week or two.
After you have blogged for a month or so, start promoting your site by submitting articles to the top Article directories. The articles you submit should be different than what you have on your site. If you submit one article a week for 3 months, in addition to your regular blogging, you will start to make some Adsense money on a regular basis.

Adsense is totally free. You need to apply for it and you can only start after you get the approval from google.
By the way, you need a website or blog to do the adsense

Yes they are bad, They have removed money from my account because there was too many clicks from a few IPs some that are not even members of the forum. I have the $10 in my account for payout now and have removed Bid from all my sites and gone with Google.

It all depends on your website your visitor type and your goals. If you have nothing better to do with your adspace then yes place the adsense code in the mean time untill you do find another profitable product to promote. If you don't have thousands visiting your site constantly I wouldent expect much money from them.

The only requirement is to have a website to make money from Adsense. From there, you can promote your website so you get more traffic. Adsense niche is also important as some niche pays low and some pays high.

Top 10 AdSense tips
AdSense Tip #1: Find your keywords
Before serving ads on a web page, check its keyword density. A free and advanced tool for finding the most prominent keywords in a page can be found here: SEO Density Analyzer. Copy the most important keywords to a text file ([web page name]-adsense-keywords.txt).
AdSense Tip #2: Improve your keywords
Get keyword suggestions from Overture Search Inventory and from Google AdWords Sandbox. Get new keywords that can help you improve your ad relevance. Enter the keywords from [web page name]-adsense-keywords.txt and save the suggestions to [web page name]-adsense-suggestions.txt.
AdSense Tip #3: Keep your website focused on a theme
Use the keyword suggestions to enhance your web pages and to build theme-based content. And also try to get your keywords into the anchor text of your incoming links as much as possible. Don't forget that Google AdSense is keyword-targeted advertising: Google AdSense bases its advert topics on your websites content, this means that content-rich websites of a popular topic should attract a large amount of ads.
AdSense Tip #4: Write a new page every day
One of the best tips is to add a new page to your web site every day. The more content you have, the more visitors you will get. Put an Adsense unit on each and every content page of your site. But where? You will find more about that from the next AdSense tips.
AdSense Tip #5: Choose the right AdSense format
Wider formats are successful because the ads are compact, easy to read and are complementary to the content. The top three AdSense formats are:
336x280 large rectangle
300x250 medium rectangle
160x600 wide skyscraper
Another successful format is the 468x15 horizontal ad links, that can be placed under your navigation bar.
AdSense Tip #6: Color tips
When creating your Google AdSense ads it is recommended to use the color scheme and style of your website so that the ads blend in well. Ads without background color and borders perfom better than ads within borders with background color.
Create a custom AdSense palette:
border color = background color of your web site
background color = background color of your web site
link color = blue, color of your links
url color = black, #999999
text color = black, #333333, color of your main content
You can also rotate your color palette: select multiple color palettes that blend with your site to create variety.
AdSense Tip #7: Position tips
Visitors tend to look at the big headlines to see if your page is worth reading. If you get them interested, they will read the text and look for your navigation links.
Place the AdSense ads in a prominent place around the top/left part of your page or under your headlines, where your visitors are most likely to look at.
If you have an article page with a long body of text, the bottom of that article is a good place for AdSense ads because your visitors read the text and then they want more resources.
AdSense Tip #8: Increase the number of ads, but not too much
If you have a lot of text on a page, use multiple AdSense units. You can use up to three AdSense units on a page, two AdSense search boxes and one unit of ad links.
Link units allow the user to refine what they're interested in. So if they may not be interested in specific ads on your page, they might be interested in a particular topic, and by clicking on a link unit and a link in the link unit, they'll be able to specify that they're interested in that specific topic and get a lot more options and variety on the ads that might appear.
AdSense for Search allows visitors to search Google.com or your sites (up to 3 domains). You earn money whenever they click on the ads that come up on the search results. If you click the Open search results in a new browser window checkbox in the AdSense for Search settings, you won't lose your visitors.
AdSense Tip #9: Preview Google ads
You can find out what ads will be served by Google AdSense if you install Google AdSense Preview Tool, a very simple tool available only for Internet Explorer 6.0. Click to advertiser sites without generating invalid clicks, and easily add their URLs to your URL filter list. Because AdSense uses geo-targeting, Google serves different ads for other countries. Instead of faking your IP or travelling abroad to test your ads, use this AdSense tool to see what ads see your visitors from France, Germany or other countries.
There may be no Google AdSense ads available for your webpage, so Googlw will display Public Service Ads. You can hide them using alternate colors or images. Make sure you include the image in a simple html file as a link (use target="_top"). The image size should be the same as the dimension of AdSense units. In the alternate url box, enter the absolute url of the html file.
Read more about alternate ads.
AdSense Tip #10: What not to do
Don't click on your own ads
Don't ask others to click on your Google ads
Don't manually change AdSense code
Don't place Google ads on sites that include prohibited content (e.g.: adult sites)
Don't employ cloaking, hidden text or farm links
Don't use AdSense ads on the same page with similar ads (e.g.: Yahoo Publisher Network)

They'd been paying for over a year, and one month I had over $200 in earnings, and they suspended my account due to too many invalids. From what I've heard, I'm not the only one. Also, around the time I was advertising Google Adsense, I saw the ads on a lot of PTR sites, and now we don't.
boosey12
Jan 28 2009, 10:04 AM
here's how it's done:
I start with keyword lists from adsenseheaven dot com which guesstimates the most expensive keywords to bid on in the PPC AdWords side of the Google ad world. I generally ignore the top 1000, as they are very competitive and saturated. I am not concerned with the top payouts.
I store this data every month in a mySQL database with the previous months data, and over time I am able to see which phrases are consistently in the lists and unlikely to disappear. I call them long term performers.
I cross check each phrase with the number of pages currently indexed in google, to see how much competition there is for a each key phrase. It's usually easier to land a top 10 first page SERP position if there is less competition for the phrase.
I also cross check each phrase with google trends data which has an RSS feed which is also collected and stored in a seperate SQL database hourly. If an adsenseheaven keyphrase is found to appear in my Google trends history database, it's flagged as hot. If there's less than a million indexed pages it's further flagged as a top candidate for a dedicated microsite armada.
Once a month after the new list is released I analyze the data after it's been processed and I pick a shortlist of hot key phrases that I am going to ramp up over the next few weeks.
For this lesson the phrase I've selected is 'Acai Berry'.
The estimated cost for the top position according to the adsense heaven list is $19, and it also appears multiple times in my Google trends history data. That means I'm probably going to make at least $5 for each AdSense click, and there's a lot of people searching for it.
I head over my favorite registrar and find a domain name which contains the keyword at the beginning of the domain. Contrary to popular belief, the gTLD is irrelevant. I find that .info works just as well as a .com with all things otherwise equal. Get the new domain's DNS setup, and your webserver configured. Install your favorite Open Source CMS into the Docroot and pick a nice template which looks clean. Avoid dark colored themes. Make a nice graphic for your site logo position which contains your root keyword. (yes googlebots can read keywords with OCR in your site logo images).
You now have the framework for your microsite, and a place to put your articles.
Now we're going to mine long tail keywords for the selected phrase to use as subjects of my microsite subpages based on the root keyphrase. I use a couple different places for this, a good one for noobs is freekeywords.wordtracker.com. I input the root phrase 'Acai Berry' and save the top 50 results into a text file. For this example I'll limit to the top 5 after the root.
Quote:Acai Berry at Wordtracker7,401 searches (top 100 only)
Searches Keyword
4679 acai berry <- ignored, it's the root phrase
371 acai berries <- variant of root phase
238 acai berry supreme 1
220 acai berry information 2
181 acai berry research 3
149 acai berry juice 4
125 acai berry diet 5 You can use however many you want. The more you have, the bigger your site will be, and the more expensive it will be to ramp up.
I outsource most of my article writing to Justin at No Doubt Marketing. I pay them around $8 for each original article, and they are not scraped together garbage. I order 1 article for each long tail keyphrase. In 12-24 hours they'll begin arriving in a steady stream to my inbox. It's not uncommon to have 25-50 articles for your project. Your goal is to build a site which contains everything someone would ever want to know about your root keyword. It's also not uncommon for me to have $500-$1000 into each microsite by the time it's done. But, I make that back in two days.
There are lots of other article writing services out there, and there is a lot of grey area. Some are more readable than others, and the general rule is you get what you pay for. I spent a few months testing all the top ghostwriters who advertised their services on digitalpoint, and some are very bad. I do not use scraped articles or spun articles from aggregation sites like ezinearticles.
Now you have some original high quality meat for your microsite which is truly original content and is highly targetted for each long tail keyphrase. Create a content item on your CMS for each one, putting the longtail phrase in a H1 tag, the Title, and the Meta description. Do not make the title and meta description identical or the latter will be ignored. Insert the article, and do your html markup to split it into paragraphs, and add floating divs for your google adsense and CPA offers.
Over the course of the next few weeks, repeat this process as your longtail articles arrive. By the third week you will have a pretty large site which is very useful and informative. It doesn't read like it was written by robots.
At the same time, you work on link building. I will look at who is already ranking for the keyphrases I am looking to rank for, and I will attempt to contact each of the webmasters. It's easy to do a whois lookup on a domain (firefox has a plugin to do it from serp pages) and fire off an email to them. If they have a working phone number listed (they are required to) give them a call. I have a vonage account so I get unlimited long distance. I also have a telemarketing background so I am good at cold calling webmasters and socially engineering them into adding links.
You will mostly get voicemails, so leave a nice message which is very brief and explains you have a relevant website which wants to become link partners. When you get the webmaster on the phone live, tell him how great their website is, how you added a link to it on your blogroll, and how it would help their rankings to link to your related site which is full of good content.
Some people will tell you to go ###### yourself, so you just move on. There are going to be hundreds of thousands of other sites to contact, so don't spend too much time with each one. I will ask them for their AIM handles so I can keep track of them. (did I mention I create a new AIM/Gmail for each new microsite?)
There are lots of other ways to get links. I've tried most of them, and they all work. You can donate money to open source organizations which have a 'thank you' page. Most of them will include a link if your donation is over a certain threshhold. Check for nofollows and disallows in the robots.txt first.
You can do a google blog search for your keyword and post an on topic comment which contains a single link to your homepage. Most places will leave your comment in the moderation cue forever, but others will publish it. You have a better chance of your comment getting published if your comment contains the keywords they are trying to rank for. Blog owners don't want comments that throw their keyword density off.
You can search for forum posts using google which contain your keyword in the title tags and post a useful something into the thread. Don't just spam your URL or clearly it's going to get removed. It's also a good idea to make a few posts in other threads before you do any link dropping so you don't have 1 post when you do it 
There is roughly 260 million websites which will give you a free blog. Create a new one everyday somewhere new and make a couple posts about your keyphrases. You can take snippits out of your articles and rewrite them into blog posts, or even purchase some of that 'low quality' filler articles I spoke of earlier and use that for your free blogs. Be sure to choose good anchors when linking to your main moneysite.
The bottom line is get as many links as you can, and spread them out as far apart as you can. You don't want to get too many links in a day or it will appear unnatural. So take your time, and work a little bit on each microsite every day. Try to make sure every microsite gets at least one quality inlink every single day from somewhere.
One final observation: The longer a Google AdSense unit has been deployed, the more it's worth. Some of my top performing units are several years old. I think after a certain time they're internally flagged and start to show the top paying ads.
