If you are running an online home business, you probably realized early in the process that automated means of generating passive income are a great way to keep yourself highly profitable. Having one or more plans “running in the background” and earning every single day gives you the time to build other projects or to decrease your daily workload.

One of the most celebrated systems of achieving those goals is Google’s Adsense program. Other contextual advertising plans have also emerged as a means to profit online. The basic strategy is simple. You run spots from participating advertisers. Every time someone visits your site and clicks on one of those ads, you get paid. The value of individual clicks is determined by market forces in an auction environment where advertisers bid for locations related to specifically chosen keywords.

Contextual advertising has revolutionized the net by providing every site owner with an opportunity to profit from his or her efforts. However, along with all of the excitement and interest, a great deal of hype and myths about success with Adsense have emerged.

One camp will tell you that Adsense if a fine way to make a dollar here and there. Another group will proclaim that it is a path that leads to sure riches. Who’s really telling the truth?

Honestly, both groups are. Adsense can be nothing more than a “penny a day” proposition for some people. Others receive monthly checks for tens of thousands of dollars on a monthly basis. The amount of income derived from participation in contextual advertising is determined by the strategy one uses to approach the opportunity.

If you just want to get an account, slap a few blocks of ads onto your site and let Adsense “do its thing,” you are unlikely to see substantial profits. If, however, you approach the opportunity using a professional, tested strategy featuring quality automation tools, they sky may very well be the limit.

When I mentor new home based business owners, I recommend Adsense and similar programs as a route to healthy passive profits. However, I recommend that they utilize a smart and proven system if they want to make contextual advertising a meaningful part of their operation.

Don’t believe the naysayer who don’t believe Adsense can generate more than a few cents every week. At the same time, be wary of anyone who tells you that thousands of dollars of earnings are available with overly simplistic solutions. If you want to add another profitable component to your home based business plan, invest in the tools and education that will allow you to really earn with contextual advertising.
