• What are high paying keywords?
  Some of the high paying keywords are Health, Law, Money, Insurance, Personal Finance, Internet Connection, Mortgage, Anti Virus, Cell Phones, Property etc. So choosing the correct keywords and using them in the articles that you post in your blog will only help you to earn more money with Google Adsense program. If you know about CPC, it stands for cost per click. That means the price that an advertiser would pay per click for their ad which is running. As a publisher you can get from 20% to 60% of CPC. So if the CPC is $5, then you might get $2.50 at the maximum. Some times it may be difficult to find the right keyword. So you need to use keyword tool or a traffic estimator. You just need to type in the keyword that you decided, and the tool will show you the search volume and other related key words and phrases. This will help you to decide whether the keyword selected is profitable to you or not in Google Adsense program.
• How to get more traffic to my Adsense page?
  It is very simple. You just need to post your link everywhere in internet, the more people see your link, the more is there chance of clicking on the ad. So you need to spend time in writing content and posting the link to that page everywhere.
  
• How long does it take to start earning money from Google Adsense?
  Once you place ads in your blog page or site, and get visitors and enough visitors to get the clicks, you can start earning. Once you make $100.00, you will get paid a month after the end of the current month. For the first cheque of $100.00, you will be sent a PIN number by google which you have to enter after logging in to adsense.
• I have got clicks but no money, what is the reason?
  If you received clicks which are displayed in your google adsense report but not received any money, then there is a chance of google assuming that your clicks are invalid either because you are clicking on them yourself or you got some one to click on them. Never click on your own ads or ask others to click on them.
• Is it allowed to post Adult content in my blog or site?
  No. Google strictly does not allow adult content to be posted in pages where Google ads are to be displayed. Google will suspend your adsense account if they find that you are posting adult content. So you should never display adult content in your blog or site.
• Will Google inform you when they are going to pay you?
  Each google adsense account has a threshold limit. When the balance reaches threshold, Google will pay you the next month. For example, if your account is set to $100 as threshold, and your balance crosses $100 in the month of Feb,2011, then Google will prepare a cheque at the last day of Feb,2011 and send it to your postal address given by you. They can even transfer the money via bank if you desire to do so. ( but this is allowed for publishers in USA only at present).
  
  All this happens within 30 days of the end of the month after you make $100 or the threshold limit. You can even ask Google to hold the payment until a certain limit.
  
  For example, if you earn $40 in January and $70 in February, Google will send payment to you by the end of March.
  
  If your account balance is less than US$100 at the end of the month, google will roll your earnings over to the following month, until the payment threshold is reached. Balances include the combined earnings of AdSense for content and AdSense for search pages. If you get the invalid clicks E-mail, you will not get another payment from Google unless you get reinstated.
• My CTR is high, will Google ban my adsense account?
  Your click through rate (CTR) should have a steady incline and not a rapid rise. If it shoots up suddenly, then google will definitely look into it and will suspect about the clicks. If it happens a couple of times, it is OK but if it keeps happening, google will suspend your account and will not make any more payments to you. For example, if your daily earnings are $0.50 and suddenly it increases to $7 it would be suspicious, but if you are earning $10 per day and one day it suddenly rises to $15, it is allowed.
• I did not get my cheque, can I ask Google to re issue the cheque?
  Yes. if you do not receive the cheque sent by Google, you can make a request them to re issue the cheque. You can make a request 25 days after the check was issued to you. To request for a new cheque from Google, just E-mail Google at adsense-support@Google.com and include the number, date, and amount of the check that you'd like reissued.
• I did not get my PIN number even though my earnings crossed $50 for the first time? What to do?
  Google normally sends you the PIN number once your earnings reach $50 for the first time after you joined as a publisher of Google adsense program. They send the PIN number by post to the address mentioned while applying for the adsense program. You have to fill up the PIN number after logging into google adsense, then only your future payments will be made. Some times you may not get the PIN number due to postal delay or loss of the letter in post. To get a new PIN number, E-Mail Google two weeks after they send it. Google sends it when you make $50.
