Google Adsense program has enabled lots and lots of individual webmasters and corporate web developers alike to earn money from their website. Together with availability of easy to setup and easy to use blogging systems like Wordpress, Google Adsense has changed the landscape of web development; from previously dominated by large corporations and hardcore techie to now everyone’s game. It has become a familiar story to hear how someone without much computer background and without any capital money can earn good living from their blogs.

As you are reading this, we can be almost sure that you are either an Adsense publisher or looking to apply for Google Adsense account sometime soon. Either way, it’s important to know the top misconceptions people make about making money online to avoid having the same mistake.

3 Misconceptions About Google Adsense

1. Myth: Making money with Google Adsense is easy.
   Lots of people pay thousands of dollars to take online courses, learn to create websites, apply for Google Adsense, and then think that money will flow in effortlessly. This I believe is the biggest misconceptions people make about Google Adsense. Make money online is possible, and even making lots of money with Google Adsense is possible, but it requires hard work, continuous learning, and many sacrifices.
2. Myth: It is impossible to make money with Google Adsense
   In contrast with the previous misconception, making money with Google Adsense is really not that hard to the extent of being impossible. Making money with Google Adsense is possible, even without much technical skills. However, nothing comes out of nothing, you need to put lots of efforts into doing and marketing your website.
3. Myth: It is possible to cheat Google Adsense
   No, as a matter of fact, Impossible is Nothing doesn’t apply here. Repeat after me, say: “It is NOT possible to cheat Google Adsense.” Google has placed great job in ensuring the continuity of Google Adsense programme by detecting fraud clicks, and it’s much easier to earn legally.

4 Misconceptions About Building Website

4. Myth: It is hard to start a website
   With easy to use tools like Wordpress, it is now easier that ever to start a website. You don’t need HTML knowledge or tools like Dreamweaver to create a website. All you need is to purchase a hosting service, upload the files and you’re set. If even that sounds too hard, there is always options of using hosted service like Blogger.
5. Myth: I want to start a bang with great new website
   Many people putting of doing their website thinking to get everything ready before putting them up together and then launch the website with a big bang. The fact is, unless you are some huge company like Microsoft with huge marketing budget or celebrities like Britney Spears, no-one will really pay attention to your new website. If you are starting your website without any marketing budget, start with whatever you have, and then along the way add new articles and do more marketing efforts.
6. Myth: Wordpress/blogging system is bad/unprofessional
   There have been more occasions than I can recall for where I was being stared with skeptic look when I suggest Wordpress for web building. Many have gotten the idea that since Wordpress is a blogging system, the result will be unprofessional. Well, firstly, professionalism of a website has nothing to do with the background system used; it is how you present it and what you do with it that matters. And second, being professional isn’t always good. Unless you are representing a professional body or formal associations, looking a bit “unprofessional” can be attractive, specially in the web.

   Further emphasis if you are thinking it’s better to “create website from scratch” with Dreamweaver, you seriously don’t know yet how frustrating it is when you need to do some update sitewide, or all the work required for uploading just a single page. Moreover, I frankly don’t think you are capable of building an internal linking structure in your website that is at least as good as Wordpress’.

7. Myth: Content Building Equals To Copy And Paste Articles
   Great websites and great contents regularly get copied by irresponsible blogger. If you are thinking to do the same, think again. This copy and paste harms more than you think. It effects search engine optimization of the copier and the site being copied. Due to the adverse effect of duplicate contents to their site standing, many website owners are willing to take actions in protecting their content, including legal actions. If proven of plagiarism, this will at least cause your Adsense account to be banned and your site removed from search engine; not to mention claim of monetary damage in court.

3 Misconceptions About Marketing Website

9. Myth: People will naturally flock to my website
   Many people put up their website, put up some contents, and then expect visitors from all over the world will swoon over their contents and can’t get enough of their sites. This is very optimistic view, indeed, but it’s not realistic. There are billions of sites worldwide and at least thousands of other sites that cover the same topic as you do. Unless it’s truly very unique or you have a ready fan-base, the probability of you creating a new site that attracts lots of visitors straight away is very small. Remember, it takes time and effort; so better be patient lest you get disappointed.
10. Myth: Spam is the best way to build incoming back link
    I’m not sure where people get this idea from, but apparently a lot of people believe that spamming the hell out of other websites is the fastest and best way to build incoming link. It is not, alrite. Spam is a very bad way for marketing your website. You get very bad reputation, from the web community, as well as from search engines such as Google, Yahoo or Bing. Spamming will seriously harm your site ranking rather than help it. Learn some search engine optimization instead.
11. Myth: Website marketing is all about Search Engine Optimizations
    A lot of webmasters understand the concept of Search Engine Optimization, for instance by submitting blog or website URL to link directories or using search engine optimization plugins. However, not many understand that web marketing is more than just search engine optimization; offline marketing, search engine marketing, email marketing, and social networking are all part of the marketing process as well.
