How do i make my own website w/out really selling anything?

i just want to use Google Adsense for it basically.

You can start an online business without selling, but by providing information. About.com or EuropeforVisitors.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways that you may want to consider:

a. Advertising - From the article "How to Generate Advertising Revenues for Your Web Site" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol28/adrevenues.htm , there are several ways you can earn money from advertising:

1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services.

Burst Media http://www.burstmedia.com
Fastclick (ValueClick). http://www.fastclick.com
Advertising.com. http://www.advertising.com
Tribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com

2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system.

Google Adsense https://www.google.com/adsense/
Yahoo! Publishing Network (currently in beta and available to US publishers only) http://publisher.yahoo.com/
Intellixt http://vibrantmedia.com/site/web_01a5.htm
Quigo Adsonar http://www.quigo.com/adsonarexchange.htm
IndustryBrains http://www.industrybrains.com
Commission Junction Evolution http://www.cj.com

3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: "no pain, no gain!"

b. Affiliate Programs - you sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)

c. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information

d. Content licensing and syndication. Some publishers such as the Associated Press get paid every time their content is published elsewhere

Google, yahoo, and geocities are all partnered, or at least friends, geocities is easy to build, click & build tools on the site.

Hi

If you are wanting to make a website and basicly use Adsense as a way of making money from it, you really need to make sure you have a website that provides quality CONTENT.

There is an art to doing that. Just make sure you have the right information.

I have provided a couple good resources to help you with understanding the most effective way of going about using adsense.

Good luck with your venture.

generating leads for people you know who are in business
by placing a web site w/YOUR phone number for services or prodcut and getting a cut of the action

Be care full, you could be banned from Google Adsense just for having ads. You need to put content on your site. Its in their terms of service.

You will definitely get banned for clicking on your own ads and if they catch you using those surf for traffic exchange programs.

Start a blog or website about something you are knowledgeable about, put some Google Adsense ads on and go from there.

Good Luck.
