You may or may not have heard about a relatively new search engine named Blekko – and fortunately it doesn’t matter hugely in the context of this post. Put that at a CPM of say $10, and that’s another $100, before we look at how the offer has spread via social networks, social sharing sites, and other word-of-mouth routes.

In my experience, sites that make the most money with Adsense are ones that receive traffic from search engines and give users a taste of what they’re looking for, but not everything. In order to get the most clicks or the most impressions, you need to get a lot of traffic.

We have reached a point in late 2010 where the work required to generate traffic for a normal blog via search engines is much greater than that required to generate an equal amount of traffic via social media. CPM rates keep falling and will keep falling so long as ad inventory grows faster than online advertising budgets.

My first major website made money through contextual advertising (Google Adsense) and selling ads on a CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) basis. We need traffic, and the method I use is to rely on search engines to send it to me, for free. If someone buys a product on the site I sent them to, then I make a commission.
