Welfare Program Gives Checks to Lazy Webmasters
I think the term webmaster welfare came from the steady small checks many webmasters make each month from Adsense. The stereo type is a site that has no new work completed. The site is in the system, adsense. So the site is eligible for a check if any clicks are still gained. Most of these checks are earned from traffic from poorly optimized sites webmasters still own, automated sites they create, and ofcourse the few clicks they still recieve from their deindexed sites. The amount is relative to the amount of effort involved.
lazy webmaster = low income = checks for nothing = welfare
I must admit I am somewhat guilty of recently monetinizing a group of domains I own with adsense, its why I started this Make Money Online blog.
The group of sites are not bad in my own opinion, but they had no way to generate any revenue. Adsense shows what they believe to be relative ads on the pages. The sites I mentioned currently average about $33 per day and seems to be rising. Thats about $999 per month for sites that were just sitting around, I’ll take it. I now continue to learn alot about adsense and its opened a few new doors, paths and ideas for me to follow. Its better than welfare because it is actually forcing me to re-educate myself and learn. I would consider adsense more of a unemployment type benefit, a benefit were they force you to learn a new trade and place you back into the workforce.
I would recommend adsense to anyone. The program teaches you something about your sites if you read the statistics they offer you for free and use different channels for each site you place ads upon. View the ads they show on your sites pages and you can easily tell if the website is actually relevant for the theme you targeted for in the first place. If the site makes any amount of cash with adsense then maybe the site is worth resurrecting, doing some SEO and adding content.
Example: I had a site for one of my kids sports teams. I wanted to maybe earn a little revenue as a fundraisor for the league. After building the site and placing adsense ads on the pages I noticed the ads were not relevant to what I thought the site was about. I analyzed the pages, keyword density, keyword phrases ect. To my surprise I could see why adsense was showing what I thought were not relevant ads, the ads actually were relevant in a search engines eyes. I knew what the site was about and never really explained things very well on the pages. I assumed anyone would understand what I was typing, I’m sure anyone involved with the team understood , but a martian seeing the site for the first time I’m sure could only guess, I was to general in my writing. From this I learned to be very explanatory and use longer descriptions for most pages. I became more in-depth when I write.
