More adsense info?

Alright, so heres what I know about Adsense so far. It's free to sign up, and all you do is paste stuff on your website and you get paid when people click. But here's what I want to know. How do they pay, do they just send you a check in the mail? How often do they pay? Also, how much do they pay for clicks? And last questions, couldn't someone cheat them out by changing their IP repeatedly..?

that's a lot of questions, but i can answer one, they usually pay you through either a check by mail monthly/bi-weekly-when you reach a certain amount,

payment amount wise, it differs form one merchant to another

Aww, check by mail. That sucks. That means they have the payment in there records, which would require you to pay taxes, and I hate paying taxes.

. Usually, what's the amount you have to reach before they can pay you your total for the clicks? I imagine it'd be at least $100 or so, right?

i think, whatever means they pay you, they're gonna have records on it, don't they?

Yeah if they pay through a check or something it'll be in their records. Which means if it's in there records then you have to pay taxes for it. Well, if you live in the USA it is. If you don't live in the USA I don't think you have to pay taxes. I hear it's easy to not pay and not get caught, but I don't want to take risks.

If you make it like a real business thing, like setting up a company and a company account a long with it, i guess you have to pay tax if its a lot of money. But then, if you claim it to be something out of freelancing work or some kind of hobby, you don't need to pay to tax. I don't think you need to be tax if you simply deposit the check in your personal saving account.

I wouldn't be so sure. Think about it. If they're paying you, then that means that they're going to have it on file. So, if they have it on records there's a good chance your supposed to pay taxes for that. Many say that it isn't that hard to evade taxes for Google, but I wouldn't want to take a chance with tax evasion.

Well , it is free to sign up and they pay for clicks and that is what you said is right but that is not as easy as you have made it to be , traffic to your website is a must for you to really earn some income , even if you change your ip it is very hard to cheat google and they will get back to you no doubt about that after that yoou can never even think of opening an acoount with google .

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Google is a really big company, and they would probably know if they were getting cheated out on or not. But yes, I agree, you have to have a high traffic for your websites in order to get more money. For you to make money, Google has to make money too. So, if you're not making them money, then why would they want to pay you? You have to have great traffic so you can be beneficial to them.

There are many tips that you can follow to ge most out of your google adsense . Try to optimize your website . Try using colors for you links that are similar to the colors on your site. And make sure you turn off the ad borders as well. You want your ads to look like ordinary links as much as possible. prominently placed ads results in better click-throughs. So don’t be shy and place your ads toward the top of the page, even if that seems too overt too you.Never click your own ads or try to cheat the system by hiring others to click your ads.

Yeah what you are saying makes a ton of sense. The more catchy you make your ads, the more visible they are to the public. If you were on two different websites, one with dull and boring links, and one with vivid links , which one would you click on? Obviously the one that wasn't as boring. So the more you make your ads visiblie and you advertise the ads themselves, the more money they will bring for you.
