When I started with Google AdSense, I could barely earn a few dollars a day. My website got a lot of traffic and I thought I needed to build millions or thousands of websites to make any significant income. The following tips are tried and tested. Use them wisely and you will see your AdSense earnings increase significantly.
I found that design is the most important consideration to take into account when designing your website. Get it wrong and leave thousands of dollars on the table. The 336X220 unit worked best for me because it looks like website content. I also found the best area to place your ads under the top menu bar. This blends in with the website and having it near the top of the page increases click-through rate without the advertising being too obtrusive. If you place your ad near the bottom, fewer people will see it and this will lower your click-through rate.
I found that the color scheme is the second most important aspect of Google AdSense. You need to make your ads look like content. Use a white background on your website and let your ads also use a white and blue background as the color that represents the text link. This works well as it makes the ad look like content and not an ad. Blue works great to represent a link because Internet users are used to seeing blue as the default color for a link on an HTML page. Also remember to make the URL at the bottom black so as not to distract your user’s attention when clicking on the link text.
Google Link Blocks can help you earn extra money for topics related to your topic. Locate these link units in your menu layout and mix the colors to make them look like part of your navigation system. This makes them not look like an advertisement and substantially improves the click-through rate.
I suggest using Wordtracker to do your keyword research. I started optimizing one keyword every day for the least competitive terms and within a few months I doubled my website traffic. Basically, find keywords with little competition and make sure your page content matches. Optimize the title and header and use the keyword 2-3 times in your body near the beginning and near the end of your page.
Create fully automated websites where users can upload content. Users of my website created hundreds and thousands of pages for me, saving me hundreds of hours to create content myself. Search engines analyzed and indexed these pages. The more content uploaded by users meant more traffic and this meant more money from Google AdSense.
Capture your visitor’s email address when they visit your website. This will give you the opportunity to email them over and over again redirecting them to specific AdSense pages and increase your income.
An image placed directly above your ad draws attention to it. Be careful here and don’t put up misleading images as this is against Google’s terms of service if your user clicks on an ad because it appears to be related to your image.
You can use this AdSense code for more precise content targeting on pages of your website that receive non-targeted ads. You must ensure that at least 20% of your content exists between the tags so that Google interprets the content correctly and shows matching ads.
Place your most important content between the following tags:
This will help AdSense target your ads to the most important content without being confused by unrelated content on your web page. However, make sure you put enough important content between the tags; otherwise, your ads may not match your content and this may take up to two weeks to take effect.
