Gray Googlers

Who are Gray Googlers? They are older or retired people that have discovered that they can make money by putting Google ads on their blogs and websites. They get paid each time an ad is clicked upon. Some of the most successful Gray Googlers make upwards of $120,000 per year, just from the ads on their websites. It should be noted that you have to pay Google, monthly, to work for them. Whether or not people click on the ads depends on the types of ads that are on the website, the amount of traffic your website gets on a daily basis, and how many people actually click on the ads once they get to your website.

People do make money from home with their websites. However, it is not as easy as it might sound. Some of the high-income earners interviewed had websites that had been in existence for six to ten years. This longevity had given them a strong piece of real estate in the Internet industry. They had already established streams of traffic being generated to their sites. Thus, they had users who were more likely to click on their ads, and a lower bounce rate. A bounce rate indicates that a user stays on the site long enough to investigate what is being offered before moving along to something else on the Internet. One of the most famous Gray Googlers, Jerry Alonzy, who was featured in USA Today, cautioned people not to expect to make money overnight.

Another key to a good website is being very knowledgeable about your subject and having quality content on your home page and in your blogs. Quality graphics can also turn a boring website into an inviting website.
