You don’t have to have your own website to use Google Adsense. Google doesn’t
usually approve personal pages but that is not written in stone. Consult
Google Adsense support pages for more information on what kinds of pages are
acceptable. If selling a product or service doesn’t appeal to you, you might
consider blogging.
Blogging initially meant web log but has gradually come into its own. There are
as many different kinds of blogs as there are blogs themselves. A blog can be
like a cyberjournal in that you make daily “journal” entries or it can be more
like a newsletter set up to inform or communicate with other people. There are
several blogging sites in cyberspace that will allow you to create your own
blog pages and have targeted Google Adsense ads running on them.
A few of the most popular :
- Writingup.com
- Blogger.com
- Bloggerparty.com
You can also search blogsearch.google.com for an extensive list of blogs. Not
all of these carry Google Adsense ads and if you’re going to write a blog you
may as well make some money at it. Look around and you’ll find the perfect
site for your Google Adsense ads to nest.
