How To Maximize Your Ad Space Sales
Here are guidelines I’ve developed over the years to really improve your ad space sales. Not only will you attract (and retain) more customers, it will be more profitable for both of you. The Internet is all about standing out, here are things that will help you do just that.
Give your customers a discount when they spend over a certain dollar amount for ad space. You can also apply this tip to the amount of ads they buy. This way, you create a sense that you are offering a great value, and potentially get a recurring customer if you do it right. Offer your customers a free bonus for renewing their ad order. It could be an ebook, special report, online utility, etc. There are many products out there that you can buy with resell rights. These are a great tool to use. Make sure you are allowed to give them away, though.
Sell advertising space between your content. You just break an article in half and insert the banner or
classified ad between it. This typically generates much higher click-through rate than the typical ad at the top, side or bottom of the page, outside of the content the visitor is actually reading. Write content that’s tailor made to mention and relate to the product your customers are advertising. This is more work but, you’ll sell a lot of ads. If content is king, relevancy is queen.
Tell your customers when they buy an ad you’ll also add it to your free ebook and message board for free. If you don’t have that type of publication, you can use soemething else. The key here is to offer a free bonus, more visibility at no extra cost for your customer, and little to no extra cost to you. Offer to endorse the product your customers are advertising before or after their ad. In all honesty, you would have try out the product first. This is very powerful if your website is well established in its field, but you have to use it sparingly. Reserve this to perhaps your largest prospects and/or customers. Write a review for your customer’s product to place under their ad. This is similar to a testimonial or endorsement but more in-depth. Again, don’t spread yourself to thin, or write too many really good reviews, or you will lose credibility.
Offer a buy 2 ads and get 1 free deal. With the slow economy and advertising sales, most businesses are bound to be looking for a good ad deal. 2 for 1 is just an example, but special promos always have an edge. Limited time offers also help to close deals by creating a sense or urgency, especially if the offer is really good. Give your customers a ton of free bonuses when they buy ad space. It can be submission software, an ebook full of advertising or copywriting tips, etc. You can also offer free memberships to your newsletter, ezine or such. They work well, and it builds your list while giving you even more ad space.
Guarantee your customer’s advertising results. If they don’t like the traffic they receive, give them
a refund or another ad for free. It is very hard to keep customers in this industry, so make sure you always under promise, over deliver, this is the key to success in the Internet Marketing world.
3 Things You Should Never Do with Your AdSense Account
Starting as a new AdSense publisher would not be easy, there are lots of things you should be aware of, here are three most important things that you should never do with your AdSense account:
1. Signing to AdSense without fully understanding Google AdSense’s Terms Of Services agreement
Unlike many other agreements you sign while browsing the Internet, you simply have no other option but to read and understand AdSense’s Terms of Service or risk receiving a ban. As it usually happens after a few months, you risk losing hundreds of hours of your work (as well as thousands of dollars paid for promotion and SEO) simply because you haven’t read the agreement carefully enough.
Why is that? The common myth is that every webpage can display AdSense ads. That’s not true. First, there are several categories of websites that Google forbids to take part in the AdSense program. Some of the categories are obvious - racist websites, those promoting illicit drugs or pirate software - but some are not. For example those advertising beer or hard alcohol-based products are also prohibited, so forget about opening an AdSense site about Russian vodka.
Another thing is that the AdSense’s Terms of Service describes several specific activities you must not perform on your website if you are to avoid banning. Among others they include such things as excessive use of keywords, lack or minimal content on your site or adding misleading labels of Google ads. For example Google may ban you even for using “Click the ads” phrase!
The bottom line: Without learning what is and what isn’t a viable AdSense website, you can’t really start your business. Terms of Service agreement sets strict boundaries you have to keep yourself within in order to do business with Google. If you have any doubts about the rules, contact Google and ask them what they think about your problems. You keep to their rules AS THEY UNDERSTAND THEM or you’re out of business within hours.
2. Asking your friends or relatives to click on your ads
Surprisingly there are still many people who think that they can make money on AdSense by asking their friends or relatives to click on their ads. This scheme is both ineffective and very short-sighted, but nevertheless there are people who think they can do business this way.
The problem is that no one can become a successful AdSense businessman by using this method to create the artificial clicks. First, there are practical reasons: in order to make this scheme work, you must have at least two thousand clicks a month. What is more, they must come from different computers and different people! There is no way you can do that - getting thousands of people to click on your ads in any other way than by creating a decent website and/or a SEO campaign is simply not cost-effective.
Then, as such practices are expressly forbidden by Google, asking anyone to click on your ads increases the risk of banning you from AdSense. If the system detects multiple clicks from a single source, it raises the alarm and this usually ends in banning the website in question. Even if you ask your friends are relatives to use different computers or IP numbers, it is next to impossible that everyone will remember about it all the time. And you would need A LOT of people to make it worth more than an additional dollar or two a month (see above).
In short, any using method of creating artificial clicks - ie. those made by anyone but people who visited your website and were really interested in the ads - is pointless. It won’t pay off and sooner or later will bring you a ban.
3. Clicking on your own ads
Never click on your own ads. Never! This rule seems to be obvious, but surprisingly this is one of the most common mistakes done by the beginning AdSense website owners. Clicking on the ads you have on your own site is the quickest way to get irreversibly banned from AdSense - sometimes even a single click is enough to alert the system. What’s worse, you will have nothing for you defense - clicking on one’s own ads is expressly forbidden by the AdSense’s Terms of Service.
At times, clicking on your own ads may be tempting - but this is both immoral and ineffective. In short, it is not worth your time but may get you deeeeep in trouble.
How To Cheat Adsense - Top SEO Tips, Tricks And Techniques To Max Out Your Adsense Account Part One
There are some simple but very effective SEO tricks to max out your Adsense account. This article will discuss what they are also also show you how easily optimize your Adsense web pages with the highest paying keywords, in just a matter of minutes.
You’ve probably heard of SEO, since it’s very hot right now. It stands for Search Engine Optimization. SEO is the process of increasing the amount of visitors to a site by designing the site content so that the site ranks high in the search results of a search engine.
The higher a Web site ranks in the results of a search, the greater the chance that a user will visit that site. Let’s face it, most people are lazy. They’re not going to spend time clicking and scanning tons of pages of search results. Therefore, where a site ranks in a web search is absolutely critical for directing more traffic toward the site. SEO helps to make sure that a site is accessible to a search engine and improves the chances that the site will be found by the search engine.
To understand how this works, you need to know a little bit about how search engines work. Typically, a search engine sends out a spider to fetch as many documents as it can. Then another program, called an indexer, reads these documents and makes an index based on the words each document contains. Each search engine uses a unique proprietary algorithm to create indexes so that hopefully only meaningful results are returned for each query.
These indexers compute the keyword density. Keyword density refers to the how often a certain word appears in a given document. It’s given as a percentage. Let’s say you have a site about running shoes. A keyword density of 7% on “running” on that web page means that out of 1000 words, 70 of them are “running.”
Unfortunately, the quick-buck con artists have figured this out, and they will put up a site that has a front page that is totally littered with keywords. To give you an idea, a normal key word density for the main key words is about 3 to 7%. What these people will do is have something insane like a 25% keyword density on their front page. Then that page ranks #1 in search engine results when users search for that word. Once the user is on the entry page, they’re likely to enter the site.
Pornographers do this by putting up sites that have content like:
Sex, sex, sex. Sex is here. You want sex. We have sex. Pix of sex, lots of sex.
See how annoying that gets? Search engines used to use meta-tags to search for web sites. This was nice, since the meta-tag was a hidden area of your page where you could put all the relevant keywords and not have to worry about making your content sound awkward by overusing certain words.
Things to Consider There are many things to consider when you go to put keywords in the text of your pages. Most search engines index the full text of each page, so you should put your keywords throughout your text. However, each search engine uses different ranking algorithms. And that’s the really hard part–difficult though it may be, you need to keep all of them in mind.
General rules Your main page should be full of keywords because that page has a higher chance of being indexed than other pages. And for some search engines, it will be the only page that is indexed.
Some engines will rank your page highly if it has at least 100 words on it, so consider that your minimum. Directories include pages based on the quality of their content, so make sure your pages aren’t just lists of keywords. If you do that, you risk not getting in the big directories AND you will irritate readers-they won’t come back.
Important design concepts When you create your pages’ content, pay attention to:
Keyword prominence Proximity Density Frequency
The thing about keyword prominence is that the best place to place keywords in your text is at the top of each page, preferably the main page. The closer your keywords appear to the start of the page or the start of a sentence, the better. You’ll frequently see “keyword prominence” used to describe search engines’ algorithms. Be aware that some engines also say the bottom of the page should contain keywords as well
Adsense & CTR - Learn How To Cheat Adsense And CTR With Ultimate Adsense Ad Placement Tips
When you’re running a website, whoever is surfing it is staring at the screen…but where? One of the biggest questions for website designers and adsense publishers is discovering where their website visitors are going to be looking when they arrive at their website. This article will reveal the answer to this often asked question and explain the trick to adsense ad placement for the highest adsense ctr.
“Where are the user’s eyes looking?” Where do your eyes go when you read articles on the Web? What do you notice and what do you miss? Well, we’ve got some answers for you, because this topic has been studied. Turns out that the upper left quarter of the screen gets the most attention, according to the Eyetrack III research of The Poynter Institute, the Estlow Center for Journalism & New Media, and Eyetools. But that’s not all. There’s more to it than that.
People’s eyes have some very common behaviour patterns. It probably has to do with our hunter-gatherer ancestry.
First, we do reconnaissance, or “recon” as the military calls it. Users’ eyes flick over the entire screen at whatever draws their attention. And what draws it most? Well, the first hot spots are headlines, photo captions, subheadings, links, menu items and the logo on the page-doesn’t matter if it’s a good logo or a bad one, people look at logos.
Then the upper left corner of the screen gets special attention, probably because that’s where people expect to find the very best stuff. And the right-hand and lower part of the page almost always gets less attention.
This is info that site developers must know: when you put your most important, vital content outside that critical upper left corner, that important content might as well be invisible when people are making the big decision: whether to stay on your site and read more or go somewhere else.
Yes, people scan a page quickly. But scanning has a purpose: it quickly identifies to a user what they really want to read. The good news is that if you can hook them right off the bat, when they start actually reading a news story on the Web, they read a larger proportion than if they were reading that very same story in the newspaper.
How To Use Frontloading To Attract Your Visitor’s Attention
Frontloading means that you start headlines, paragraphs and links with the most important words. The first words should communicate the subject of the headline, paragraph or link. This is not like writing a novel or a story, where you have time to be coy and not get to the point for awhile. You’ve got about a quarter of a second to grab that user’s attention or he won’t read the rest of the sentence. Make the most of that opportunity.
If you do this, and you frontload your writing, especially at the top of the page, user’s eyes will easily catch the most important info, and they’ll keep reading.
Here are some examples of good frontloading:
Foo Fighters release new cd
Barbeque beef ribs recipes everyone will like
Tom Cruise stars in a new movie
Here are some bad examples that are not frontloaded:
New cd is being released, it’s by the Foo Fighters
Everyone will love these great new recipes for barbeque beef ribs
New movie is coming out and it’ll star Tom Cruise
Just following these simple Google Adsense tips will result in higher adsense ctr and visitors staying for a longer time at your websites.
Google Adsense Checklist: Discover The Likes & Dislikes Of The Googlebot
Get on Googlebot’s wrong side and you and your Adsense websites will be sorry. This article will reveal the likes and dislikes of the Googlebot plus show you how to make even more money with the highest paying Adsense keywords.
AdSense is the name of an advertising service that is administered by Google. It allows webmasters to feature advertising on their websites, and thus generate extra income. Payments are made on the basis of either per click or per every thousand impressions. Geographical location, website content, and other related factors are used by Google to determine which Adsense ads to serve. The sites wanting to be advertised are able to sign up through a Google program called AdWords.
You’ve probably heard a lot about Google AdSense (which is actually more accurately known as Google AdSense V1), but you may not know just what it is. Well, for one thing, it’s a one of the hottest new ways to make money online without having to do a whole lot. If you’ve read Robert Kiyosaki’s book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” you know that passive income is the best kind of income to have.
Passive income is income that you get without having to work for it. I know this may sound like some kind of “pie in the sky” get-rich-quick scheme, but passive income is for real. In fact, every single billionaire on earth uses the power of passive income to keep money coming in while he or she jets off to parties and resorts and such.
What’s a Googlebot? It’s one of the little web-searching spiders (automated) that I talked about in the last section. And these spiders have definite preferences, so you want to make sure your content is good spider food.
Spiders like:
Neat code-less lines of code than lines of text (or more lines of text than lines of codes.); Normal keyword densities of 3-7%.Lots of backlinks on pages that link back to your home page; (Top sites have an average of 300 backlinks.); Original content not found anywhere else.Quick downloads of sites, which means not a lot of dynamic URLS to other sites; Site maps; ALT Tabs for images; Link partners who are contextually relevant to your page (i.e., if your page is about buying real estate, links might about be how to get loans, how to prospect for deals, how to start a corporation but not about pet gerbils, latest fashions, or cell phones.); New content every time the spider comes to check up on your site.
Spiders do not like:
More lines of code than text; Nested tables; Super-high keyword densities, which they call “keyword stuffing”; “Doorway pages” that act as a portal and which just happen to have super-high keyword densities; Too many backlinks to your home page from within your domain; Duplicate content from another site-regardless of who stole what from whom; Lots of dynamic URLs that cause a site to take forever to download; Repeating the exact same words in your linking text, which the spider will interpret as automated link swapping; (Interestingly, it’s fine for the spiders to be fully automated, but they hate it when we do that!); Stale content that never changes.
Now that you know how to please the GoogleBot are you ready to start making money with Adsense?
RSS - Really Simple Syndication For Marketers Who Sleep And Want Fresh And Easy Adsense Content
We live in the information age, and there’s just no getting around it. Information and news happens every single day, and savvy site surfers will expect you to update your content regularly. In fact, they’d prefer you to do that daily, or even hourly. And yes-I mean 24/7 hours. However, everyone needs to sleep. This article will discuss how to create fresh and regular content for your adsense websites through really simple syndication.
But you gotta sleep, right? And have some time off occasionally. So instead of spending every waking hour relentlessly surfing around from site to site looking for content, wouldn’t you prefer it to be streamed in to your site? Well now you can, thanks to a very clever service, RSS.
RSS works so well that a lot of site owners swear it stands for ‘Really Simple Syndication’. Why is it simple? Because you just select the content you like and have it delivered directly to your site.
If you’re a busy person-and who isn’t, these days-RSS feeds can take the hassle out of staying up-to-date, by streaming in the very latest information that you are interested in.
So where do you get this good stuff? Well, if it’s news you want, most of the major news sites provide it since it is growing rapidly in popularity. A few news services that provide it are Guardian, New York Times and CNN.
Simple Instructions About How To Use RSS Feeds
Well, the first thing you’re gonna need is a news reader. There are many different versions of these, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. All allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS feeds you want.
My top picks for news readers, listed by the operating system they work with, are:
1. Mac OS X: NetNewsWire This is a simple yet elegant Mac-like aggregator that any one can use, yet it’s powerful.
2. Windows: SharpReader A very simple tool, but it delivers the goods.
3. Linux: Straw The best very aggregator for GNOME.
4. Web: Bloglines Enough said.
Now, after you’ve chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want. For example, if you would like the latest BBC News Entertainment stories, simply visit the Entertainment section and you will notice an orange RSS button on the left hand side.
If you click on the RSS button you can subscribe to the feed in various ways: you can either drag the URL of the RSS feed into your news reader, or you can cut and paste the URL into a new feed in your news reader.
Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, have functionality that automatically picks up RSS feeds for you. To make absolutely sure, check the details on the homesites of those browsers.
RSS feeds are a great way to get free content streaming onto your pages. The only downside is that most of the free RSS feeds are news-oriented or entertainment-oriented, so if you run, say, a site that focuses on the latest video games, your audience may not really care that they can get the latest news streaming in there.
As far as the nitty-gritty, each RSS channel can contain up to 15 items and is easily parsed using Perl or other open source software. But you don’t really have to worry too much over the details, since a simple Google search on “free open source RSS feed scripts” will produce the code you need to create your own RSS channel.
The next step, once you’ve created and validated your RSS text file, is to register it at the various aggregators, and start watching your traffic really spike. This happens because now any site can grab and display your feed regularly, which will drive traffic straight to your site.
It gets better-if you update your RSS file, all the external sites that subscribe to your feed will be automatically updated. What could be easier, other than watching those nice, fat checks from your Google AdSense ads roll in? Well, if you use RSS feeds, they’ll work together!

1. Concentrate on the best performing format of AdSense ad
There are currently twelve different formats which webmasters can use for their AdSense ads. From research, the one format that works well for the majority of websites is the Large Rectangle (336X280). This same format also appears to result in higher CTR (click-through rates).
2. Blend the AdSense ads into the website
It is recommended that you blend AdSense ads into your site by appropriate us of colors. For example, if your site has a white background, use white as the color of your ad border and background.

3. Place AdSense near the top of the page
It is advised that you place AdSense ads where they can be seen quickly by site visitors. Therefore it is suggested that AdSense ads appear at or near the top of the page. AdSense placed at the bottom of the page, almost as an afterthought, appear to attract very little click activity.
4. Place images near to your AdSense ads
Images placed near to AdSense text ads has been shown to have a dramatic effect on click-through rates. CTR improvements of several hundred percent have been recorded by using this device. It is thought that the image attracts the eye in a similar way to a photo in a newspapers draws the reader to the associated caption. Software is now available to make adding images to AdSense ads easy to implement.
5. Automate the insertion of AdSense code
One approach of successful webmasters is to create AdSense sites with large numbers of pages. By saving AdSense HTML code in a text file, this can be called into other pages in the site by using SSI. This is a huge time saver if you are using automatic page generators to create AdSense sites.
These are some of the tips that have worked well for webmasters who have grown their AdSense income. A final tip is to ensure your site focuses on a specific topic or niche, as opposed to being too broad in its content. This will ensure that the AdSense ads shown on your pages are of direct interest to your page viewers, which in turn will result in better CTR.

There is no doubt that the AdSense model is workable. And you can improve your AdSense earnings if you simply implement some of the tips outlined here.
Make Sure You Don’t Get Your AdSense Account Terminated
Being the undisputable leader in search engines, Google is placing high importance on the quality and relevancy of content when running its searches. The quality of returned results are extremely important to the viability and future potential of this massive company.
For this same reason, doing the wrong things in the AdSense and other forms of advertisements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, can result in severe penalties. Indeed, you may even get banned and have your account terminated.
So, if you use AdSense on your websites, or are considering using AdSense for the first time, avoid falling into the trap of using any of the following:
Clicking on AdSense ads on your pages
As your AdSense revenue is determined by how many times AdSense ads on your web pages are clicked, it can be very tempting to go onto your own pages and click the AdSense ads. Please don’t do this. Google views this practice as fraud, and it will usually lead to your AdSense account being terminated. You also need to be careful of getting friends or colleagues clicking on your AdSense ads. Google have highly sophisticated monitoring software which can detect click patterns and locations. For example, they are able to determine when unusually high click rates come from a single IP address. The only way to be really safe here is to never have your AdSense ads clicked by you or anyone you know.
Hidden texts
Using text too small to read, or text having the same color as the background or using css for the sole purpose of loading your page with keywords, will be taken by Google as you attempting to illegally influencing their search algorithms.
Page cloaking
This is a practice whereby you attempt to deceive Googlebots - the automatic sniffers which Google sends out to find and index new and changed web pages. With page cloaking, you serve the Googlebots a different page to that which the visitor will see. The idea is that your Googlebot page looks authentic and has good keyword characteristics, thus getting you a high search engine position. However, when a visitor clicks on your site in the search return list, they are taken to a different page - one which is specifically designed to elicit a click on AdSense or other ads. In other words, they are not shown the page which the Googlebots indexed.
Note that these are only a few of the reasons why Google may consider you are violating the terms and conditions to which you agreed when you opened your AdSense account.
To review all the policies, go to http://www.google.com/adsense/policies
One final word. When Google email you to tell you that they are terminating your AdSense account, they do not tell you specifically which policies you have violated. In effect, they don’t inform you why your account is being closed.
There is an appeals process which you can invoke, but this can be time consuming and ultimately may prove to be a fruitless avenue for you. And all the while you are in the appeals process, you are not earning any AdSense income
To be on the safe side, and to avoid account termination happening to you, simply avoid falling foul of any of the items listed in this article.
Don’t get Caught by Google AdSense Click Fraud
Website owners are increasingly getting their Google AdSense accounts terminated. Considering the potential income from AdSense, losing your account can have a significant detrimental impact.
Click fraud is basically the act of clicking on an AdSense ad on your own site for the purpose of accruing AdSense commission, with no intention of buying from the advertiser who has paid for that advert to appear. It is like paying out cash for false leads. Having said that, many website owners are aware of this fraud and agree that this is a problem which needs eradicating.
The fact is, if you are guilty of click fraud, then Google are within their rights to terminate your AdSense account. You will find the terms and conditions under which you created your AdSense account allows them to take this action in the event that you transgress their policies.
If, however, you feel you have been falsely accused of click fraud, is there anything you can do to argue your case with Google? Well, you can at least try!
Most web hosts offer access logs. From here you will find evidence of the activity on your site, and it may be possible to show that you are not guilty of the stated click fraud.
Even better, you could utilize click monitoring software on your websites. This software is usually implemented by webmasters to help them understand how well their AdSense ads are performing. Indeed, implementing click monitoring software is arguably essential for any webmaster who is serious about earning income from AdSense. However, such monitors can also be used to demonstrate that you have not been click frauding. This type of software is simple to install and there are plenty of free versions available.
If you are accused of click fraud, and you know you are not guilty, any evidence that supports your case should be turned over to Google. Your position here is that you need to co-operate in any way you can, and to appear to Google as being in sympathy and agreement with their stance on click fraud.
You can also operate in a preventive mode by studying your server and your click monitoring logs, looking out for any activity that seems suspicious. By reporting in advance anything that you may find odd, you could prevent Google from taking a sanction against your account.
Be truthful and confess to Google about times when you might have clicked on your own AdSense ads, whether accidentally or intentionally for example whilst testing. Indeed, if you feel you may have done something that is against Google’s terms of service, contact Google and tell them. Confessing is far better than Google eventually learning about it.
In addition, do not tell your family or friends about AdSense on your websites, as they may start clicking on them to help you make money without you knowing it. They will be doing you more harm than good. Make sure they understand that they cannot click on your ads under any circumstances.
One action you may consider is to disable AdSense ads for your own IP address and local geographic area. This will certainly help prevent click accidents, thus ensuring Google cannot mistake another user as you. You can do this through the htaccess file.
Most pay per click networks have comprehensive measures in hand to protect website owners against click frauds. They can track more than 50 data points, IP address, browsers information, users session information and pattern recognition. They also have systems available to them that detect fraud, not to mention the specialized teams monitoring activity on behalf of advertisers with a specific view to stopping click frauds.
I hope you can see, click fraud is not worth the risk. The chances are you will be discovered and your AdSense account will be terminated. This will result in that source of income being gone to you forever. Please don’t do it!
Use Other Peoples Information to Increase Your AdSense Cash
AdSense is really making a huge impact on the affiliate marketing industry nowadays. Because of this, weak affiliate merchants have the tendency to die faster than ever and ad networks will lose their customers quickly. If you are in a losing rather than winning position in the affiliate programs you are currently into, maybe it is about time to consider going into AdSense marketing and start earning some real cash.
Google is readily providing well written and highly relevant ads that are closely chosen to match the content on your pages. You do not have to look for them yourselves as the search engine will be the doing the searching for you from other peoples’ sources.
You do not have to spend time in choosing different kinds of ads for different pages. And there are no codes to mess around with like you have with different affiliate programs.
You will be able to concentrate on providing good and quality content, as the search engines will be the ones finding the best ads to place on your pages.
You are still allowed to add AdSense ads even if you already have affiliate links on your site. It is prohibited, however, to imitate the look and feel of the Google ads for your affiliate links.
You can filter up to 200 URLs. That gives you a chance to block ads for the sites that do not meet your guidelines. You can also block competitors. Though it is unavoidable that AdSense may be competing for some space on web sites that all other revenues are sharing.
Owners of small sites are allowed to plug a bit of a code into their sites and have relevant text ads that appeal to your visitors appear instantly into their pages. If you own many sites, you only need to apply once. It’s much easier than having to apply to many affiliate programs.
The best way to see if it works for you is to try and see. Whenever you want out, all you have to do is remove the code from your site.
AdSense payment rates can vary extremely. The payment you receive depends on how much advertisers are paying per click to advertise with the use of the AdWords. Advertisers can pay as little as 5 cents and as high as $10-12 - occasionally more. Your earnings amount to a share of the amount paid by the advertiser for the click on the AdSense ads on your site.
If your results are unexciting, it can help if you try and build simple and uncluttered pages so that the ads are more likely to catch the visitors eyes.
To get an idea if AdSense ads might work on your type of website, search for web pages in the same market as you and see if AdSense is being utilized by those site webmasters.
It is important to note that Google will not place AdSense on some types of sites. Topic to be avoided include gambling, firearms, ammunition, tobacco or drugs.
With your site providing the kind of information that visitors need, AdSense can enable you to make a nice profit by displaying ads on those pages. It’s a win/win for you, the advertiser and Google.
How to Monetize Your Website with AdSense
Google AdSense is a fast and easy way for website publishers to automatically display relevant text-based ads on their web pages and earn money in the process.
How do you start making money from your website using AdSense?
1. Sign up for a Google AdSense account. It will only take a few minutes of your time.
2. When your site is accepted, you can begin creating AdSense ads. This is achieved on Google’s AdSense site. At the end of the creation process you download the HTML code Google AdSense provides, for inclusion in your web pages. You can insert this code on as many pages and web sites that you wish. Once you upload your amended web pages to your host, the AdSense ads will usually start appearing immediately.
3. You will earn a few cents or dollars per click when someone clicks on any AdSense ads displayed on any of your web pages. The amount you get paid per click is dependant on the amount the advertiser pays Google for the click. You have no control over this value, although there are ways to find out which keywords are higher earning than others. One word of warning - never attempt to earn revenues by clicking on the AdSense ads on your own sites. Under the terms of Google AdSense, this is not allowed and can result in your AdSense account being terminated instantly. The money you have already earned may be lost because of this.
4. Check your statistics. AdSense earnings can be checked at anytime by logging into your Google AdSense account. There are also tracking mechanisms available which you can incorporate during the AdSense ads creation process. This will help you in determining which of your websites and pages are making the most AdSense income.
Once you’ve got your account up and running, it is important to note that there are several factors affecting how your AdSense ads will perform and thus the amount of money they can potentially make for you.
How do you increase your AdSense earnings?
1. It is best to limit the content for each web page to a single niche or topic. Google AdSense will then be able to serve ads that are highly relevant to your page, which will then result in a higher clickthrough rate.
2. You have complete flexibility in selecting the text colors to be used in the AdSense ads appearing on your web pages. You can thus make the AdSense ads blend into the color scheme on your page, making the ads almost appear as if they are part of the information on the page a opposed to being ads. Alternatively, you may choose to make your AdSense as stand out from your page by using a different color scheme.
3. The location of the ads on your web page can also have an impact on your success with AdSense. On the Google AdSense website, there is a very useful “hot spot” diagram which indicates the best place to locate ads on web pages.
4. There are currently 12 AdSense ad formats. You can test which of these are most successful on your web pages. There is a school of thought which says that traditional banner style formats are now being ignored by many internet users. In other words, they are instantly recognized by viewers as being advertisements and therefore are not even glanced at.
There is no reason why any webmaster should not try AdSense on their sites. It is easy to implement, simple to monitor and makes them money for zero outlay.
