Google Adsense is one of the most used ways to make money on the internet.
The reason for this is because it's so easy to get started and because you can place on almost all kinds of websites. Pay attention! Almost all websites!
There are a number of exceptions that you definitely can not place AdSense ads.
So, if you want to start with AdSense, please read the Adsense Terms and Conditions.
Soon on this page, more about using and optimizing your use of AdSense ads and blocks.
Adsense Income and Tax Services

If you earn a nice extra income with Google AdSense, you soon forget that you have to pay all your earnings from your taxable income. Deserve the less enjoyable side of Online Money ...
If you get started with your tax assignment, your AdSense earnings will fall under Revenue from Other Jobs, and you'll need to provide the revenue, but you can also deduct the costs you have to deduct so that you only have to pay tax on the result.
These costs include, of course, your domain registration costs and your website hosting (aff) costs, but also think about e-books you've purchased to generate more income, potential AdWords campaigns, and fees for Themes and Plr articles. So ensure proper administration of your costs throughout the year.

How much can you earn from your AdSense income?
x

That's really the most asked question that new AdSense users put. The answer is standard, it depends ...
Your earnings with Google AdSense depend on a large number of factors like the subject of your website, are there many advertisers for that topic? How many visitors do you get on your website and how many of them click on the ads?
The first year I used AdSense on a website gave me about 54 Euro and that is still below the payout threshold of 70 Euro, so I had to wait until I went over it. Only when I really started using my Joel Comm Adsense Book Shoot websites was my AdSense income up and from that time on, I had a bank transfer from Google every month.
There are also a number of very large websites that make a significant part of their results from Adsense Adsense ads, 
When you belong to such a great big AdSense publisher group, Google will help you further with the right placement of your ads, and even offer ads tailored to your website with their layout.
The biggest earners with AdSense get over 100,000 dollars a month, but they have a few million visitors a month. With a more modest site with enough visitors, you can definitely earn a nice extra income per year.
Make sure you get multiple revenue streams because if you're only dependent on Google AdSense and they close your account for some reason, you will not have more AdSense earnings and that has been your work for nothing and you have to Look for alternatives.
So, AdSense is great to use to complement your income, but it should definitely not be your primary source of revenue.
Note that the current number of visitors to your website using Adblockers may also show a dramatic decline in your earnings.

To work
Whether you want to start a personal blog or start a site to promote a product or company, these tips are here to help you through a number of tasks. 
Start with your own piece of the internet with this guide on all kinds of things like choosing a website platform and registering your own domain name.
1. Choose a PlatformFirst and above all, check if you can find one for your appropriate platform. If you want a blog then you can go to WordPress, OnSugar or Blogger. For a more universal platform, try the free sites like Webs and Webnode. My advice is to direct your own domain and with WordPress as a platform.

2. Brainstorming, Branding, and ContentBefore starting your website, you must have a clear vision. What are your goals? What would you like as time progresses? Keeping your plans specific will help you find an appropriate name and develop relevant related content.
3. Think About Your Domain NameWhen you make a decision about your own domain name, you own a URL, it is important to think about the formulation, spelling, and length. Make sure you choose a domain name that will enable visitors to remember, and a sentence that fits your material.
4. Look at Brands and Copyright OptionsLearn more about the nature and purpose of copyright and trademark capabilities, then do some research to see if it's something you might want to pursue. This is especially valuable if you plan to share your own creative content, like stories or photography. Prevent yourself from possible abuse of your articles and other creative expressions.
5. Find a Design Template and WidgetsOn the web, you can quickly search for different templates and add-ons that you may like to use on your site. Here you will find everything from creative, artistic design elements to functional tools like a search bar or RSS feeds.
Once you are up and running.
After you have set up the basic setup and design of your website, you will dig deeper into tracking and develop your own audience.
6. Sign up for an Analytics serviceTo see what kind of content works well on your site, which people are part of your audience, and what readers refer to your site, use a tool like Google Analytics or StatCounter. Make sure you know what's happening on your site with those stats!
7. Setting Up a Social Networking Profile
Nowadays, it's a no-brainer: If you have a website, you must have Facebook and Twitter accounts. If you make a decision about a username do not forget to be consistent - you are working on creating a brand.
8. Decide what you will publish and how often
Develop an idea of what you want to include on your site, then decide on a posting schedule that works for you. Placing content on fixed days in the week will lead to a sense of routine for both yourself and your readers, who will then get a sense of what they can expect and when they get it.
9. Find an audience
You want to make sure people see all your hard work, right? Try to get a network online from readers. Identify other websites that you admire or relate to your topic and respond to their articles, initiate and link relationships, and build an active social media profile. That will help you to expand your readership. Depending on your goals, you may consider advertising opportunities later in life line of your blog.

One of the less known, and thus less used, components of Google AdSense (aff) is the Experiments option.

Start with AdSense Experiments

To get started with an AdSense experiment, go to My Ads and then choose BETA Experiments
In this screen, choose + New Experiment
The first thing you do is give a good name to your experiment so that you know which site you're going to test or with which ad format.
In the field below you write what the component you want to test and what test you want to do.
Tip! Test one change per experiment, if you make more changes, you still do not know what exactly makes a better score.

Set up an AdSense experiment

Setting up your experiment is actually very simple.
First, select the ad unit you want to experiment and then what you want to change.
The upper part is your original and you also see what it looks like.
The variant is what you want to test. The test you want to run can consist of a variety of things, such as text ads only, instead of image and text, or just a color test.
Here is a color test setup to see if the Title in Red and the URL in default blue will give more clicks than the blue title.
Do those types of tests on a site where you get quite a lot of visitors, which not only generates more money but also ensures that the experiment runs fast.
After the setup, you confirm that Google can handle the rest. Google will divide the ad impressions and keep track of the results.
In addition, they will show more and more of the best option until a good comparison is possible and the "winner" is known.
You can see what's happening during the experiment by clicking on the experiment you created.
You will then get an overview of the distribution and the consequences of your change.
In the example above, the experiment is only busy for a day and with only 63 impressions. For the end result, you will have to wait for sufficient information to be collected by Google.
Take note of the "Trust" column, only if you see a value above 90%, a good comparison is possible. At 95% the test will be completed. According to Google, you should definitely give 24 hours to see good reliable results
Seeing the reports of this experiment is not yet meaningful, but by the end of your test, it is a great measure of your changed income.
If your AdSense experiments go well, you may perform the best, but it may be that the variant does it better. In short, the experimental option is definitely worth trying out! Finally, here too, the measure is known ...

Make Money With Affiliate Marketing, How Do You Do It Nowadays? What are the do's and don'ts when launching a WordPress affiliate site, and what's the best niche to start with? It's a lot of questions you'll come up with if you want to go on the edge of affiliate marketing. To give you the best answers to these questions (and more) you will find an extensive article here. This describes everything about affiliate sites and affiliate marketing. You will see that you can get into the affiliate business with a little bit of handy and insight into the market.

What is affiliate marketing?

Let's look at the term 'affiliate marketing' first. Many people have a vague picture, but not everyone can give you a good definition. Affiliate marketing is the term used to identify sites that themselves sell nothing but just refer to other sites. Either an affiliate website or shop. Often products are described on these sites, and by clicking on it you will be redirected to a web shop. For example, the owner of the affiliate site receives a small amount of compensation. This can happen for each click, but often the product described must also be purchased from the actual web shop.
Affiliate marketing is now a big business. It's popular and you're increasingly seeing online affiliate or comparison sites. However, there is a difference between a good and a bad site. In the past, it was easy to throw a site online, fill it with left, and then wait for the money to start flowing. Nowadays, you'll need to get it a little more professional to face the competition. And no less important, you have to go high in search engines to really get a chance on many visitors. This not only requires patience but also knowledge in the field of SEO. If you want to create a professional affiliate website, you first choose the type of site.

Types of affiliate sites

To become successful with an affiliate site, it is important to choose a type of website that you have an affinity with yourself. There are various types of affiliate sites, so basically there is enough choice. In general, the sites are subdivided into the following categories: review websites, affiliate blogs, comparison sites, daily deal or discount code websites, and affiliate web shops promoting products from various web shops.

Review websites

You are well-known with some review websites. On these types of websites, you will find product experiences and ratings from users and customers. If you want to know if a product or service is good enough, look for an online review for that product. Some reviews are specialized in specialty products, while others treat a wide range of subjects. If you start a new review site, it's wise to start small. If people search for something very specific, they will soon be on your site. In a broad subject, competition is often greater.
How to earn money? That's very simple: you write reviews (or let others do that with the product) and if people want to buy those products, click on the affiliate link you placed in your article.

Affiliate blog pages

A similar type of affiliate site is the blog websites. The internet is full of today. You write a weblog about a particular topic and refer it to a web shop or other website. The separation line between review sites and blog sites is sometimes difficult to determine because both sites often have product experiences. However, you often see that someone has a personal blog that sometimes contains articles about products and sometimes articles about other things. Blogs are also a great way to develop and ideally manage your writing skills based on the WordPress content management system.

Comparison sites

If you are looking for a new mobile phone, an insurer, washing machine or other major purchase, do you go to a comparison site? If yes, you are just like many other Dutch people. Before we buy a product, we always want to know if it's cheaper elsewhere. That's why you find many comparison sites on the internet. You can not think so badly or compare it to each other. Different providers can be compared, different websites, or different products. By linking to each product you are the most versatile comparison site. Or, of course, you put one specific alternative into an extraordinary good daylight. Whether your comparison sites can also be created with WordPress? Certainly, WordPress lends itself well to custom-made applications and thus to settings up a comparison site.

Daily subscriptions or discount codes

Whatever you can do is launch a website where people can find discount codes or daily offers. This is a good way of affiliate marketing and many affiliate networks that offer you the opportunity. As with an affiliate shop, data feeds are also available from daily offers or discount codes. Launching a discount code or online offerings website is a bit more complex than an affiliate shop, but very interesting for administrators. With affiliate marketing, the rule is "the last cookie". Entering a discount code is often the last step in the ordering process at a web shop. When you have an up-to-date list of offers and discount codes, and you're also well-found in search engines, you're given a high chance of receiving commission over the purchase.

Affiliate sites with products

You may be familiar with sites where they put gadgets and gadgets in line. Websites with products in a particular niche are becoming more and more popular, as they are very popular with visitors. And that's not so bad, as soon as new gadgets are on the market, there are always people who are interested in it. See it as a kind of web shop, but without having to sell the products yourself. These affiliate web shops attract a lot of visitors, and since special products are often a bit more expensive, it's a sum for you: higher revenue per purchased product plus many visitors is more profit for you. An affiliate web shop is ideally set up with WordPress as a base. You do not need to specifically add a WooCommerce plugin here.

Do's and don'ts when building an affiliate website

What you should do in particular

Now that you know what kinds of affiliate sites there are, it's time to look at the tips to build affiliate sites. In other words, what are the do's and don'ts of affiliate sites? We've put a handy summary for you here that you can drop back when you decide to create your own affiliate site.

Research

Make sure you have a good niche. In other words, choose a product type that you have some knowledge of or affinity with, and which you know is popular and profitable. Here you can find out by doing market research. For example, you can see if there are competing affiliate websites, or the company you're going to link to is a unique provider and what your target audience and question is. Using the Google Keyword Tool is a long way to go.

Management

Secondly, it is very important to professionally address your website. This can be perceived in your own way, but what is important is to choose a user-friendly content management system (CMS). Once you have launched a website, you want to be easy to maintain and that you have a good overview as an administrator. Many affiliate marketers choose the WordPress CMS because it gives you enough opportunities. A striking web design, the ability to import product data feeds, standalone and user-friendly management, and high Google listing, all belong.

Increase Findability

In order to increase Google searchability (or other search engines), it is important that you write unique texts. If you write a blog, that chance is already great, but also take care if you manage other types of sites. Blogs can also be shared on social channels to further enhance your searchability. Or thinking of linking, referring to your website, to relevant websites or blogs that are in the same industry.

Professionality

Finally, it's important to professionally organize your site and provide a timely web design, but also by maintaining a good link structure. For example, put your links in a good place in your texts that lead to a better conversion. In addition, it's smart to write additional texts and refer them to your own site. These texts will be placed on blogs or social media, for example.

What you should not do in particular

Just as there are tips on what to do, there are also things to avoid. For example, it's an awful lot of time when you start affiliate marketing. Doing no research is the most fun for anyone who wants to earn money with marketing, so that's also true for affiliate marketing. Nobody will find your website.

Duplicated content

One of the most common mistakes in affiliate marketing is not writing unique texts. This can be very detrimental to your positions in Google. Do you want to write something about a particular topic? Describe this in your own words.

Backlinks

Buying automated backlinks has been done a lot when you started affiliate marketing. A link to your page then came across all sorts of vague sites that were not visited by anyone. Therefore, you can generate much better quality links by, for example, writing blogs that are in the same niche. When linking a well-visited website to your website or product, this will eventually be beneficial to your positions in search engines like Google.

Start big

A final tip about what you should not do: Do not start too big. Many people want to make their affiliate site as comprehensive as possible, but often: the simpler you love it, the more successful you become. If you work with a web development agency, set up an action plan and discuss it regularly. In the long-term, you can always expand the website with new features or WordPress plugins.
And further…

Give your affiliate site time

This tip deserves your own paragraph: give your affiliate site the time. If you just start affiliate marketing, you're likely to earn a lot of money. A beautiful site is not per se well-known; At the beginning, you will have few visitors so you will not receive any income. If your site is gradually being visited, you will get a snowball effect and pick the benefits of affiliate marketing. It's just a matter of a relatively small investment and then waiting for the revenue stream. So stay active in posting articles and not your affiliate site the time.

Choose a good niche

In addition to the information above, it is of course very important to choose a good niche when launching an affiliate site. Not every product type is equally popular and is not as much searching on the internet. What the best niche is, is hard to say, but there are definitely some popular niches. For example, many people seek healthcare (smoking, diet, dietary supplements) and sports or hobbies (football, travel, outdoor activities). If you are smart in these niches, you can earn some money.
Also, think about yourself where the question is. The best tips we can give you are: Choose a branch that you have an affinity with. This makes writing articles only easier, but you probably also give enough willpower to continue if you are not immediately found.

Do you get the error message "Error establishing a database connection" when you open your WordPress website? Or the Dutch version: "Error making a database connection"? This is an annoying error that can be solved in several ways.
The error message looks like this:
Fout med oprettelse af en databaseforbindelse
This error message means that the WordPress fails to connect to the MySQL database. This can have several causes, all of which can be resolved in another way. One of the main reasons is that the information in your wp config.php file is not correct. We are therefore going to check this first.

Database information in wp-config.php correct?

Via FTP you can download your wp-config.php file. This contains all the information that WordPress requires to access your database: the name of the database, username, password and database host:
Therefore, check if this information is correct. For example, you may have moved your WordPress website and your database has changed. Also, your hosting partner may have transferred him to another server, though the DB_HOST in 9 of 10 cases is just "localhost".  for example, it's not a localhost!
If the database information is correct, check to see if your database is accessible.

Check the MySQL server

When you are on a shared hosting package, especially with cheaper parties such as Versio, it may happen that the database server is out because you have too many visitors. It may even be that another website on the same server causes these issues. The easiest way to check this is to contact your hosting party and ask them if something is wrong. Also, check your hosting provider's Twitter account, the good providers usually proactively report any malfunctions!
When the error message is in the hosting, it is often the case that it goes by itself.

Repair your database

If the above solutions do not work, try to fix your database. Make the first backup Before you begin this! Sign in now via FTP and add the following line of code at the bottom of the wp-config.php file:
Now that you've added this, you can fix the database. You can do that via your website.nl/wp-admin/maint/repair.php. Replace "job website.com" with the URL of your own website. You are now coming to the following screen:


Repair WordPress database

You can choose either option, but the second option will take a little longer. If you want to go ahead, choose the first option!

Add a new user to your database

Finally, I read on the Elegant Themes blog that sometimes it works to create a new user for your MySQL database. Also, change the username and password in your wp-config.php file.

Not yet successful?

If the above tips have not yet been done to restore your database connection, please contact your hosting partner!
