Earn More From Adsense

If you think you can earn more from Adsense, you’re probably right. The trickle may not turn into a downpour overnight, but earning well is possible, assuming that you have a reasonably acceptable site (no profanities, vulgar pics and pitches, etc.) and the willingness to adapt your site and writing style to the demands and interests of surfers. Here’s how:

Pump up the relevance.
There are billions of Internet surfers, each one a potential client, each one with the ability to click on your site and help you earn more from Adsense, but that’s not what happens. Not all surfers want to buy your Anna Kournikova coffee mugs or want to know what Aunt Wilma got you for Christmas, or how you felt when your first soufflé collapsed. Make sure your website can target a specific group or groups of surfers – the kind that will click on your site, stay a while and click some more.

Use more texts.
Adsense is most effective with websites that contain a lot of texts. It is not capable of reading images yet, so it determines ads by reading your site’s texts. While putting photos and videos on your site is attractive to visitors, make sure there’s enough text that can generate enough ads.

Get high-paying ads.
This is actually easier said than done. The best paying ads are usually those that sell products using cutting edge technology and advertisers are quite willing to pay a good amount of money to get their ads noticed. This is where you should seriously consider publishing only quality content that targets specific topics.

Do your research first, if you’re quite unsure. Check Google’s results pages for ads that sell products related to your intended topic. If there are none, you might want to find another subject to write about. Remember that if you want to make money using high paying ads, then you’ll have to make your site an effective ‘billboard’ for advertisers.

Increase traffic level.
As the number of people who visit your site increases, so will your potential income. A good number of them will more likely click on your Adsense ads. Let’s say on the most pessimistic scale only 10% of your visitors click on your ads. That would not do much if you only have 20 or 150, but increase that to 5,000, 8,000 or 15,000 a day and you’ll get the idea. Who says popularity can’t get you cash?

Watch your keyword density
Increasing your keyword density will help you get ads that contain relevant topics. It would also help if you put your keyword/s in your page’s URL. Optimizing your site for search engines will also get you only the ads that you can use on your site and that your visitors will be interested to click on.

Location, location, location
Just like in the real world, a well-placed ad can generate more quality attention than one that’s left to chance. Adsense’s program lets its publishers choose where they want to place an ad and which color to use, helping you to optimize your ad to better attract your visitors. Sometimes, just moving an ad to a different location in the same page can generate more clicks than when you kept it in its original place.

Other than utilizing bright, annoying animations and colors, there are other ways to show your ads on your site: place it in the main body or make it seem unobtrusive by blending it with your site’s background or theme, keep it on top, or on the left side, it’s your call. Experiment with the best placement. If you’re still in doubt, refer to Google’s heat map and see for yourself where to place your ads best.

Link up
If you’re reading this, then you are your most effective site promoter at this point. Getting your site linked with another can help that site’s visitors access your page. You get more exposure free of charge and get to share someone’s loyal readership.

Run with a pack
To get noticed, why not run with the best of them? Have your site listed on portals, sign up for web rings, register with blog indexes and search engines. If you think your site is so unique that there’s no other site like it, you’re probably right. And wrong. No matter what niche topic you have, your site will still belong to a bigger category. Uniqueness may help you stand out, but only if you get a leg up on the shoulders of giants, so to speak.

Getting listed is a great way to improve your ‘visibility’ so people know your site is available. Surfers who use more popular sites in your ring or group are more likely to notice yours. And while you’re at it, why not add an RSS feed, so people still get to read your blog without actually visiting your site? Join forums and blog projects – let people know you exist.

And lastly, be realistic.
Just when you thought you could lie back and let Adsense take over your bank account and fill it to the brim, here comes the last tip. But if you look at it, taking a realistic stance about earning from Adsense can help you avoid the bid ‘D’ – disappointment. Sure, you can earn and there have been successful bloggers and publishers who benefited quite nicely from Adsense, but it’s well worth to remember that with every amazing success story, there is at least 10 more dreams that didn’t work. It’s best to keep an optimistic attitude while you look for ways and means to pump up your cash.
