The Fastest Way to Earn Money from Your Blog: Ads & SEO

The quickest route to earning money from your blog is by putting ads on it. But before you can earn, your blog needs visitors, which only happens if your blog appears in search engine results. So, you need to both activate ads and apply some SEO strategies to ensure your blog can make money. Here’s a quick guide to help you do that:

1. Deserve the Ads

  • Publish original, high-quality content at least once a week for at least six months. Consistent posting helps establish authority and attract readers.
  • Make sure the content is valuable and aligns with your blog's niche to engage visitors.
  • Avoid plagiarized content or spammy posts, as this can lead to rejection by ad networks.

2. Apply to Google AdSense

Google AdSense is one of the easiest ways to monetize your blog. To apply:

  • Go to the Earnings tab in your blog’s dashboard.
  • Click on Sign up for AdSense.
  • Fill out the form and submit your application.
  • Wait for approval, which may take a few days.

Tips for faster approval:

  • Make sure your blog has a clean, professional design.
  • Your blog should be fully functional with easy navigation and no broken links.

3. Activate AdSense Ads

Once your AdSense account is approved:

  • On your AdSense dashboard, navigate to the Ads tab.
  • Create an ad unit or enable Auto Ads (where Google automatically places ads in optimal locations).
  • Copy the publisher ID provided by AdSense.
  • On your Blogger dashboard, post it to Custom ads.txt, field on your Blogger's Settings tab. 
  • Ads should now display on your blog.

4. Optimize Blogger Settings for Search Engine Visibility

Visibility in search engines is critical for organic traffic. Configure the following settings:

  • On your Blogger dashboard, go to Settings.

Visibility:

  • Enable search descriptions: Toggle this on, and write a concise, keyword-rich description of your blog. This description will appear in search engine snippets.

Crawlers and Indexing:

  • Enable custom ads.txt: Under Crawlers and Indexing, toggle on "Enable custom ads.txt content." Click Custom ads.txt, then enter the ads.txt information provided by AdSense, including your publisher ID.

Optimize for SEO:
