logo-adsenseIf you’re into making money from home, you may have come across Adsense revenue-sharing sites.  But what are they?  Basically, Adsense revenue-sharing sites are networks where you can earn money from Adsense clicks, (the little ads that appear on a website).  What happens is that the ads get rotated a certain number of times, to benefit both the network and you.  HubPages is an example, where you get credit for the clicks 60 percent of the time.  They get credit 40 percent of the time.

Now, the advantages of such an arrangement are obvious.  Firstly, you don’t have to manage your own website, since everything is taken care of in the Adsense revenue-sharing network.  This means you don’t have to worry about hosting costs or Web design, things that can be pretty annoying if you don’t know how to build your own site.

Secondly, you get some link-building power from Google.  This is important once you start building on the network, because it helps determine if your Web pages are going to be seen.  If you were to do everything yourself, you would have to be a SEO genius to get your site ranked.  This is in contrast to Adsense revenue-sharing sites, which usually already have the SEO taken care of.

However, do these advantages mean that Adsense revenue-sharing sites are a good model for home businesses?  It depends on what you’re looking for.  If you want the ability to build a quick SEO site, Adsense revenue-sharing networks work wonders because everything is already provided for you.  But if you want the ability to maximize your Adsense income, you would do things on your own.  Why?  Well, first off, you get to keep all your content.  With Adsense revenue-sharing sites, the editors determine if your content is worthy enough.  If it isn’t, it gets deleted, despite all the work you may have put into it.

In addition, if you do things on your own you get to keep all your earnings.  It’s not this way with Adsense revenue-sharing sites, where you lose a portion of your money to the network.  This can get to be very annoying once you start earning hundreds of dollars.

In conclusion, Adsense revenue-sharing sites shouldn’t be seen as a reliable home business.  Sure, they take the difficulty out of building a website, but they also take away your element of control.  And when it comes to Adsense, it’s this element of control that gives you the most money and security.
