I have come across several advertisement placed by fellow Nigerian claiming they can make Nigerians rich through Google Adsense. Some of the adverts go this way
- Make money online while you sleep ….
- Many Nigerians are making thousands of dollars from Google Adsense e.t.c
The advertisers promises to perform the magic once their special packages (ready-made “Adsense-ready-blogs”, auto-blogging softwares, e.t.c) are purchased. The price ranges from N5,000 to N10,000 (about $40 – $80).
I get amused and angry when I read such claims. Of course I do a quick check on the website of such advertiser . Too many of them have details similar to the following:
- Web Address – xyz.blogspot.com (free hosting, while earning thousands of dollars per month, I am skeptical!)
- Site Traffic – XXX (some make the grave mistake of displaying traffic details on their website – less than 1,000 visitors!)
- Website Popularity – Google PR – Unranked Alexa Rank – x,xxx,xxx (so where are the visitors clicking on the adsense advert to generate the $x,xxx they claim). They must be telling lies 🙁
Enough of the report, What is Google Adsense? Is it an Income Earning Opportunity for Online Entreprenuers, Nigerians inclusive?
