AdSense Question + Moving off of Blogger

[leenickel36]

Hello. This is my first question and I’m not exactly sure if this is the right place on the forum…

I'm a beginner, but I have a blog on blogger, and I've made $95 with Google AdSense. (My blog is just for fun but I'd enjoy getting a little money along with it)

Lately, I've decided that blogger isn’t the best place for my type of website (I want lots of news-style posts with an easy to navigate layout so users can quickly click on lots of posts that are sorted by type). I know some a little html and CSS, so I’m designing my own site. My plan is to start as a very simple static website before eventually getting help from someone to redesign it/enable commenting and other blog type things…etc.

I hope to keep earning revenue while the simple static site is up. Is it easy to get AdSense up on my new website? Can I get my same adsense account for use on my own site? Or are there even better options than Google AdSense that I should look into?

I’m just getting into both blogging and web design. Any answers or general comments would be greatly appreciated!

Your adsense account should be able to transfer over to your new blog. If I were you, though, I would leave it up at the old blog. The new blog will take a long time to get started, so I think you should wait until it gets going before you take the adsense down off your old site.

Your adsense publisher ID can be pasted into the code of any blog or static site's pages - I read not to use on more than 20 sites - or google look at you funny

I'ts a good idea to go into your adsense account and create a custom channel for your new site - that code will then trigger a separate stats/earnings listing so you can see views, clicks, earnings for your new site

Unless click rate becomes very low, leave adsense on your old site - only remove if it's impacting you overall adsense earnings

When you get 300 or more visitors a day to a site apply to Copaclick

You may also want to consider migrating your site to Wordpress from Blogger. You are now able to take your Blogger blog and move it to Wordpress and hopefully not lose anything, including your old blogs. The only thing you MIGHT have to redo are your photos. I don't know from experience yet because I haven't done it yet. I am only thinking about it.

I have read that people who come to your old site will be switched to your new location automatically, which may be on your other website. You may even be able to keep your traffic. This is a big question mark though.

I am considering just MAKING a Wordpress website... after reading the blogs about moving your site, it seems to be easier to do when your site hasn't been around a long time.

I have found some good sites and articles that give some good advice about moving your blog. Some say that it was easy to move, others say it was really hard. So if I were you, I'd google this (How to move your blog from Blogger to Wordpress) and read the posts carefully before you do it.

I know I'll be looking at articles too before I go ahead and move my Blogger blog.

About AdSense: So far I haven't found a better ad company than AdSense, but I know there are some pretty good places out there. Microsoft is supposed to be looking into ads like Google's... we'll see if they pay better down the road.

You can have adsense on multip[le sites, but you need to create a new 'block' for each website.
