Improving Your Google Adsense Earnings

Google AdSense is a powerful program, but it's very important to plan carefully when implementing an online advertising strategy. In this article I will tell you how to increase your Google AdSense earnings.

If webmasters want to monetize their websites, the great way to do it is through Google Adsense. There are lots of webmasters struggling hard to earn some good money a day through their sites. But then some of the geniuses of them are enjoying hundreds of dollars a day from Google Adsense ads on their websites. What makes these webmasters different from the other kind is that they are different and they think out of the box. The ones who have been there and done it have quite some useful tips to help those who would want to venture into this field. Some of these tips have boosted quite a lot of earnings in the past and is continuously doing so. Here are some five proven tips on how best to improve your Google Adsense earnings:

1. Remove the Google Adsense from the bottom pages of your site and put it at the top. Do not try to hide your Google Adsense. Put it in the place where people can see it quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between Google Adsense locations can make when you see your earnings.
2. Concentrate on one format of Google Adsense ad. The one format that worked well for the majority is the large rectangle (336X280). This same format has the tendency to result in higher CTR, or the click-through rates. Why choose this format out of the many you can use? Basically because the ads will look like normal web links, and people, being used to clicking on them, click these types of links. They may or may not know they are clicking on your Google Adsense ads but as long as there are clicks, then it will all be for your advantage.
3. Create a custom palette for your Google Adsense ads. Choose a color that will go best with the background of your site. If your site has a white background, try to use white as the color of your ad border and background. The idea to patterning the colors is to make the Adsense look like it is part of the web pages. Again, this will result to more clicks from people visiting your site.
4. Maintain links to relevant websites. If you think some sites are better off than the others, put your ads there and try to maintaining and managing them. If there is already lots of Google Adsense put into that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way visitor will see your ads first upon browsing into that site.
5. Try to automate the insertion of your Google Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your Google Adsense code in a text file, save it as “adsense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.

These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. It is important to know though that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. So focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already. Tips given by those who have boosted their earnings are just guidelines they want to share with others. If they have somehow worked wonders to some, maybe it can work wonders for you too. Try them out into your ads and see the result it will bring. If others have done it, there's nothing wrong trying it out for yourself.

Using Blogs For Affilate And Adsense Profits Combined

How do you set up a blog for effective affilate and Adsense profits? Here is the low down of how it's done and some of the ins and outs of rss. For this example I will use web hosting as the affilate product we selling on the blog.
1. Rss is great for getting the robots to visit but it will not get you visitors until:
- You have quite a number of pages
- Have decent page rank.
2. Best blog platform -- http://www.wordpress.org
3. Blog page - index page.
- A two column blog I find works the best
- The sidebar should be on the right hand of the page for SEO purposes
- Heading for your affiliate reviews shouls be first... something like "In-Depth, Top 5 Cheap Hosting Reviews". Two links underneath, one going to reviews and the other to "why our reviews are more relaible than other sites".
4. Reviews of your products. 4 to 10 reviews, make them long and give info of what benefits one product has over the other and a rating for different aspects. Do not put adsense on your reviews page. This site does it really well - http://www.keywordworkshop.com/ and it's a blog to boot.
5. Next heading in the sidebar - "Articles". A link going to current articles followed by a search box for your articles. Each article page is where you Adsense sits and here are some good tips:
- All links including Adsense, one color underlined
- Research has shown the normal blue and darker blue gets the best hits
- Adsense in the middle and at the end of all your articles... you will get less click troughs with Adsense in the borders.
6. Next heading "contact Me" Blurb... A little confused with all the info, so many choices or an aspect of one of "hosting reviews" (linked to your review page... feel free drop me an email any time... blah blah Then more headings after this is you wish... "My fav top ten hosting tips articles"... "Top 5 Domain Name Website Reviews"? and so on. The way I see it, is if they are customers coming for information on a given product, service or business area, why not stick some products up and make some more money! If they are just interested in the articles monetize those with Adsense. And then if for any reason you have a bad Adsense month, the affilate income is there as a backup.
The final tip is to keep your blogs clean so people can easily find the information they are looking for whether that be a product or articles.
