In this final post, I want to share with you some extra tips for
getting the best results from your Adsense endeavors.

1) When you are running an Ad Sense campaign, it is important to
make sure that you are testing all of the different possibilities
to make sure that you are getting the highest click through rate.
Try to test different layouts on different pages to see what works
the best. To achieve proper results from your test it is important
to use pages that receive similar amounts of traffic.

2) Although testing is a necessity, there are certain areas for
your ads that are thought to be more likely to encourage a higher
CTR than others. For instance, above the page footer, below the
header, below the navigation bar, or on the top left hand side of
your page are thought to be very good. Typically the area in the
middle above the main content is thought to be the best.

3) Take the time to provide quality content and make regular
updates to your site to help ensure you receive a steady flow of
traffic to your website. This will help you receive more ad
impressions and more clicks.

4) Keep in mind that visitors can enter your website through a
number of different pages, so it is a good idea to incorporate
AdSense on as many pages of your website as possible. This will
increase your overall impressions and hopefully your earnings.

5) Be sure to test the shape, size and color of your ad blocks. You
can control and customize every aspect of the ads so that they
blend in with, or stand out from the rest of the content on your
website.

6) Test the positioning of your ad blocks to help ensure maximum
click through rates. Test different positions on different pages to
see which layout achieves the highest CTR. This will help you
discover which areas of your pages your visitors are attracted to.
Finding the proper position for your ad blocks will be a key factor
in your overall earnings.

7) Using different ad formats will provide different results for
different websites. For instance in most cases the wider ad formats
like the large rectangles have been proven to yield a higher CTR
and be more effective than the slimmer skyscrapers and banner
formats, but, this may not be the case for your website. That is
why it is so important to test your results.

8) When you are trying to target specific keywords to attract a
higher quality Google ad for your site make sure that the keyword
is repeated enough in the page, so that AdSense knows exactly what
the page is about. Be careful though. You want to make sure that
the content still makes sense and is useful. Remember Google takes
many different aspects in to consideration while serving ads.

9) When Google has no ads to display on your site they will
automatically show PSA’s (public service ads). If you don’t want
the PSA’s to show on your site, you can choose to have the ad block
filled in with a solid color, use your own graphic or use the
collapsing ad units code instead.

10) Don’t panic if you don’t see any ads displaying on your new
pages. It can take a few hours before Google’s web crawlers find
pages that have AdSense code on them. You might see some PSA’s at
first but these will soon get replaced with targeted AdSense ads
that will earn revenue for you. If you continue to see PSA’s after
the first day or two you may want to make sure you didn’t violate
any of the AdSense program’s policies.

I sure hope you have enjoyed and learned a lot from my AdSense News Blog. I hope I have given you enough information to get you
started in the right direction.

Today we are going to tackle the complicated subject of tracking
the performance of your AdSense ads.

The easiest way to track your Adsense account is by using the
reports tab inside your Adsense account. Google has provided you
with most of the tools you will need to make your Adsense business
a success.

With these tools, you will be able to learn things like the total
number of clicks and impressions for all of your ad units. You will
also be able to view your effective CPM (cost per thousand
impressions).

Let me take a minute to clarify CTR’s and CPM’s for you.

The CTR (click through rate) for AdSense is the total number of
clicks that you receive for your ad units. It’s broken down by
individual ad units. The number of clicks is then divided by the
total number impressions for that unit to return your CTR. The
higher your CTR’s the more revenue for you.

The CPM (cost per 1000 impressions) - effective CPM - is
calculated by dividing your earnings by the total number of page
impressions that you receive, and then multiplying the final figure
by 1000. Be careful not to confuse your effective CPM with your
earnings. Effective CPM is generally used for testing various
channels to find out which ones are performing the best. If you
need to know more about CTR’s and CPM’s, then login to your account
and check out the help files.

The reports can be displayed in several different ways. You can
view them by day, week, month, or since your last pay check. You
can also search for a specific date range. You can customize the
reports for advanced performance and tracking by setting up
different channels for more in depth results. For instance you can
set up channels to test one page against another, one ad format
verses another, keywords, or even whole websites to see which one
performs the best.

You can also download your reports in CSV format (comma separated
values format) for better record keeping. Plus get your reports
emailed to you automatically so that you don’t have to login.

Adsense usually updates the stats every hour, so you can be pretty
sure that you are getting up-to-date reports.

Today I want to talk to you about driving traffic and tracking it
to improve your results.

Driving traffic is a huge topic and a thorough lesson would take
days. Especially when you get into subjects like forcing traffic to
click on your ads (not forcibly, but subtly), but what I can do is
go over the basics with you and hopefully give you some ideas that
you can use.

There are many different strategies that you can use to make sure
you squeeze the maximum amount of profits out of the AdSense
program.

Since the revenue that you generate from Adsense is based on the
cost per click (CPC) and cost per thousand impressions (CPM) It
stands to reason that the more traffic you have coming to your
website the better your chances are of achieving higher click
through rates and making more money.

Getting traffic can be a challenge to any webmaster. Here is a
brief list of some of the different methods that you can use:

- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Traffic exchange programs
- Link exchange programs
- Writing and submitting articles to directories
- Pay per click programs
- Blogs, weblogs or online forums
- Email marketing

Once you start getting traffic, you want to do everything you can
to convert that traffic into clicks on your Adsense ads. Like we
discussed in an earlier post, a well laid out web page with good
content is the best place to start. It will help keep your website
visitors interested and they will be more apt to stay longer, come
back often and click on your ads more.

There are other tips and tricks that you can use to get people to
click on your ads. Like adding pictures that are related to that
type of ads that you are showing to draw more attention to the ads,
but make sure that you adhere to the Adsense terms.

You cannot use pictures of people looking or pointing to the ads or
in any way indicating that people should click on the ads. The best
thing you can do is make sure the graphics incorporate nicely into
the site design in a way that will enhance the ads without shouting
out “CLICK ME”.

I know all of this may seem complicated and time consuming, but it
will all become clear as you become more familiar with the program.
If you want to speed up the learning process (and who wouldn’t?), I
suggest looking into a product called Traffic King Pro at
http://www.clarifywithben.com/recommends/tkp.

There is no better way to drive traffic.

Google Adsense has many ways in which it filters the ads that are
shown on your website. It is a good idea for you to become familiar
with each of them, so that you can have a better understanding of
how the ads are displayed on your site.

Why is this so important?

Because, if you know how the filters work you will be able to edit
the content on your site to get the highest quality of ads on your
pages. The higher the quality of the ad the bigger the payout on
your click through rate.

Say for instance you discover a high paying keyword like “quick
cash” that you want to target your Google ads to, but Adsense keeps
displaying ads that aren’t exactly what you were hoping for.  Well
then you know it’s time to tweak your pages to make sure that the
keyword that you are targeting is repeated enough in the text so
Adsense will display the highest quality ad on your page. It takes
some time and experimentation, but once you understand how the
filters work it will make your job easier.

Google has also provided a handy little filter called the….
“Competitive Ad Filter”

I love this one! You can use it to keep certain ads from showing up
on your site. Adsense will actually allow you to specify to
competitors or advertisers whose ads should not be displayed on
your page. How great is that? Let’s say you are selling a specific
product from the page where your ad blocks are displayed. The last
thing you want is someone selling the same thing to advertise on
that page.

Keep in mind:

Although these filters are great tools that you can use to help
boost your earnings be careful not to filter everything or you may
end up losing money by missing out on relevant ads that get
filtered out.

If you want to learn even more about filters you can log in to your
Adsense account and click on the help link at the top of the page.
Then type in “Filtering Ads”. It will bring up a list of different
topics related to filters. It’s important to learn how to use them
effectively, so that you can achieve maximum results.

In this blog post we will talk about incorporating Google Search on
your pages for extra revenue. The AdSense for Search program is a
great way of increasing your website revenue while helping your
customers search your site at the same time.

Tell me….

Have you ever been to a website and seen a Google search box on it?

Did you know that every time you type in a search from someone
else’s site and then click on one of the results that are returned,
the website owner is getting paid by Google? Think about that for a
minute. By using AdSense for Search you can actually get paid for
giving people exactly what they are looking for!

This makes AdSense for Search a very powerful tool that you can use
to increase your Adsense income. Not only does it add more
functionality to your site it also ensures you that you are giving
visitors to your website precisely what they are looking for. But
it doesn’t stop there. You can use it in conjunction with Adsense
for Content, plus you can include ad blocks that will be targeted
to your visitors search term on your search results page. These ads
are gold because they will be relevant to what ever your visitor
types in the search box not just to the content of your web pages.

Are you beginning to see the power of adding a Google search box to
your website?

Adding the Google search box to your website is very simple. Google
has complete instructions on its website. All you have to do is
copy and paste the code that Google provides you with into your
HTML wherever you want it to show up on your page. Then you
customize the search results page to suit your website’s theme and
include your Adsense ad blocks and then you are all done.

I hope you have learned in this post how AdSense for search can
easily be incorporated into your website to help increase your
earnings.

In this post we will go over the layout for your pages and discuss
why they are a key part of your Adsense earnings.

With AdSense you can place up to 3 ad blocks on your web page. You
will find different theories on whether or not it is most effective
to have your ads blend in with or stand out from the content on
your page. While some would say they have better results when the
ads stand out, in my opinion it is best to try and make them blend
in with the rest of the site as much as possible so that your
visitors will see them as content rather than advertisements.

Try mixing the ad blocks throughout your content to create a
natural flow through the page. The proper positioning of your ads
should be done with great care. The goal is to position your ads
where your visitors are most likely to click on them. According to
research the first place most people look when they visit a website
is to the top left of the page.

Although it may seem to be a good idea to add bright borders,
colors or links to make you ads pop out on the page, you will want
to take in to consideration what your visitors are looking for when
they come to your site. If they are there looking for information
or a solution to a problem they would be more likely to click
through on a link that appears to be content rather than one that
looks like an ad. If they are there shopping for a product you may
do better to have your ads stand out. The key lesson here
is….always keep your visitor in mind when you are building your
pages.

Google has run tests that show horizontal ads tend to receive more
clicks than vertical ones. This is because a person is more used to
reading horizontally, so they are more likely to be attracted to
this layout. The larger rectangular ads that read horizontally have
been proven to get more clicks as well.

Another tip for ad placement:

There are certain areas to place ads that are thought to be more
likely to encourage a greater click through than others. For
instance:

- above the page footer.
- below the navigation at the top of the page.
- on the top left hand side of the page.

Keep in mind that near the middle above the main content is thought
by many to be the best place to put your ad blocks. Let’s say that
you have 3 ad blocks on your page, but still want more. What can
you do?

Here comes Google’s link units to the rescue. You are allowed to
add these in addition to the standard 3 ad blocks without breaking
any of the Adsense rules. These link units are a great way to
incorporate ads that can look like they are a natural part of your
site’s navigation menu, but when they are clicked on they take the
reader to a page of targeted ads that are related to the topic of
your site.

I know this is a lot to think about, but it is very important to
take the time to think about your page layout. If you get stuck for
ideas just start surfing. See what other sites are doing and where
they are putting their ads. You will get some great ideas!

If you are a little confused, you can watch VisitorSense Videos and
watch how a professional Adsense professional goes through creating
his sites. There is no better way to learn than to watch as someone
does it right in front of you. Check that out here:

In this post we will talk about building web pages with good
content and why they are an important part of making money with
AdSense. I am assuming that you already have a website or at least
a basic theme in mind for your AdSense pages. There are two ways
that you can get started using Adsense.

The first and easiest way is to put AdSense ads on existing pages
that you already have in place. You can do this by following the
steps inside your AdSense account under the “AdSense Setup” tab.

With this method you can start earning money with AdSense fairly
quickly. In fact you’ll be amazed at the results you will be able
to achieve in a very short period of time.

The second method will take a little more time.

You will be building web pages specifically for AdSense ads. These
pages will be built with high paying keywords and high quality
content.

Start by doing a keyword search to find some popular subjects,
keywords or phrases related to the theme of your website. Select
the ones that have the highest number of searches. This means that
more people are typing these terms into the search engines. The
higher the number the better.

Now start writing articles with original content based on the
keywords from your search. If you aren’t a writer don’t worry.
There is a great piece of software called Article Builder that will
do the work for you. You can check it out here:
http://www.clarifywithben.com/recommends/articlebuilder

Once you have the content ready you can start building web pages
around the articles that include your AdSense blocks.

In this post we are going to learn how you can get started making
money with Adsense.

Just in case you are new to Adsense we will briefly go over some of
its finer points. AdSense delivers relevant text and image ads that
are precisely targeted to your site content. Every time someone
sees an ad on your site and clicks on it you will make money.
Sometimes it’s only a few cents. Sometimes it’s a few dollars. It
all depends on how well you learn to use Adsense on your site.

AdSense is considered a very powerful tool for many website owners.
If you go to most any website these days you will see AdSense ad
blocks incorporated somewhere on the page. Did you know that there
are many people that make a full time living from AdSense alone?

AdSense makes it pretty easy for you to start earning revenue from
every page on your website almost instantly. “If you can copy and
paste you can put AdSense on your website”. As with any good tool
Adsense has the power to help you generate a very nice income when
it’s used properly.

Let’s start off by taking the time to get to know Google Adsense
and learn how to use it properly. You would be surprised how many
people skip this part and then they are literally shocked when they
don’t make any money.

If you take a little time to become familiar with the program it
will greatly benefit you in the long run, by helping you maximize
your earnings. In this course we are going to cover the basic
points that you need to start using AdSense and making money with
it.

Let’s get a little head start with some homework…..

If you haven’t already done this, go do it now.

Go apply for your AdSense account. Yes you have to apply and be
accepted. Don’t worry it’s not hard, it only takes a few minutes
and it’s worth it!

http://www.google.com/adsense

Then take some time exploring the site. Google wants you to be
successful in your AdSense endeavors, so they have made it as easy
as possible for you by putting up several tutorials to help you get
started.

They will teach you all about AdSense for content and search. They
have great case studies, optimization tips, a blog and a forum
where you can learn what works, what doesn’t and get help if you
need it. They provide all of this for free so why not take
advantage of it.

Now that doesn’t mean you don’t need this course. I have a few tips
and tricks for you that Google won’t teach you.

Putting your ads in the correct position on a page, will be
something that can make or break your Adsense campaign. It can make
the difference between making a lot of money and making very little
at all.

There are many people who are making just $10 or $20 a month with
Adsense even though they are getting 100s of visitors to their site
every single day. The reason often is, because their ads are
positioned wrongly. Google Adsense even goes as far as to give you
a heat map explaining what the best positions on the page are for
displaying your ads.

One of the best places to display your Adsense ads, is near your
navigation menu. This is because people’s eyes ALWAYS go there to
have a look at the navigation structure of your site. They want to
know where they are able to go next if it is not to stay on your
page. It is therefore important to give them the option of clicking
on one of your ads.

When positioning your ads, it is also important that they
seamlessly integrate within your site. This means removing borders
and making the background the same as the rest of your site. The
truth of it is, that people do not like being advertised to. Taking
this important fact into account, you should therefore make them
look as much like the rest of your site as possible.

By using these simple tips, you will definitely be able increase
your click through rate significantly. In order to further increase
your Adsense revenue, it is even more important that you choose the
correct keywords.

So, we’re ready to start talking in depth about
the steps you need to take to start seeing a real change in your
bottom line.

Here are 6 in depth tips to give you a better insight into the
world of Adsense customization.

1. Use the large rectangle ad.
Tests have shown again and again that the large rectangle ad
outperforms every other ad size. No one has ever figure out exactly
why, but if they produce, who cares?

2. The font color in your ads should be blue.
The URL should always be blue. People are used to clicking on blue
links so it’s an easier decision for them. This might sound dumb,
but again, it’s proven.

3. Ensure that the traffic coming to your ad is interested in what
you have to say.
If the ads aren’t relevant to your traffic, then they’re not going
to click on it. There is no point in driving huge amounts of
traffic to your not showing your visitors anything interesting t
them. All it’ll do is ruin your click-thru rate.

4. You should constantly be testing to see what works.
Don’t settle for the income you are currently making. There is
always more money to be made if you continue optimizing. Always
look for ways to improve your click-thru rate.

5. Continuously move forward.
You should always be on the lookout for new Adsense opportunities.
Always keep an eye out for when its time to build new sites and
when its time to improve your current sites. If you stand still,
eventually the whole world will pass you by.

6. Target the right keywords.
It is vital to your Adsense business that you build each site
around the correct keywords and that you optimize your pages
towards these keywords. Keyword traffic is an Adsense marketers
best friend.

If this all seems too complicated, don’t worry, there’s a piece of
software called HyperVRE that will help you accomplish all these
goals. Check it out here:

I started using Google over 2 years ago. From the very first day, I
was hooked. I have become obsessed with checking my Adsense
statistics, which I normally check dozens of times a day.

I have developed a substantial addiction to making money with
Adsense. Over the past two years, I’ve tested different methods of
increasing my Adsense Revenue and slowly, slowly I was able make my
revenue grow. At first my revenue would grow by the dollar amount,
but then it started leaping by the 10s and then by the 100s. I
experiment with lots of different methods. Some of them worked and
some of them didn’t. But eventually, I found my way.

What I want to share with you in this post is three distinct ways
that I’ve found to build websites which will get you Adsense
revenue. They are not necessary exclusive though, and there may be
other models too that you can use.

The Content Model:

In this model, a website is created for a particular niche market.
The goal here is to find the keywords for niche topics with a low
number of search results, but a large amount of search words. You
would then create a website of between 20 and 50 pages which are
built around these keywords.

You can also used pre-written content from article sites which is
also effective, just not as much as original articles. Each page is
should be written around just one keyword phrase and the entire
webpage must be tightly optimized for the Search Engines.

The Single Page Model:

In this model, a website is built containing just one page. It is
harder to get visitors to this site as there is less content than a
site of 10, 100 or 1000 pages in which to attract the Search
Engines. There are however different methods which enable you to
attract traffic such as PPC traffic and submitting articles to
article directories.

One of the reasons this model is successful is because the text is
more tightly optimized towards a particular phrase and there are no
other links for a visitor to follow apart from the adverts on that
page.

The Number Game Model:

This model is reported to be the most popular. The basic idea is
build a site that attracts visitors and brings in revenue. But
instead of improving that site, you would duplicate that site
multiple times. The more sites you have, the more revenue streams
you have.

If you are going to use this model then it is important that you
always follows the terms and conditions of Google Adsense.

It is best to use not just one of the above methods, but a
combination of the three. This will ensure that at least one of
them will be extremely successful. Which one will work for you very
much depends on your work habits. What is important though, is that
you are targeting your sites around the correct keywords.

With all of these models, content is king. It is extremely
important to create well-written content that your visitors will
want to read. If you can’t write articles (or you don’t want to), I
highly recommend buying Instant Article Wizard Pro. It’s been a
lifesaver multiple times in my life.

We’ve already discussed the dos and don’ts of Adsense usage, so
let’s not talk about rules anymore. Let’s dive straight into some
helpful techniques that will make you more actual money.

What I want to focus on is payment per click. This is different
than cost per click (what your costs are for each click) and pay
per click (what you actually pay per click). Payment per click is
how much each click pays you.

Once you get a visitor to your site and he or she clicks on one of
your ads, you want to make sure that the ad they click on will pay
you a decent amount of money. Clicks can pay you anything from a
penny to a couple dollars per click and you want to make sure that
the clicks pay you enough to make the time and effort worth it.

If each click pays you only three cents, hundreds of clicks won’t
do you any good. However, if just a dozen people click on your ad
that pays you $3 a day, then your revenue will quickly add up.

Sounds easy huh? But like most things in life, it’s not as easy as
you think.

One of the problems with determining the payment per click is that
Google is very secretive about how much each click pays out.

The website www.adsenseadwords.com/adsense/read.asp has been set up to give you the value of hundreds of thousands of phrases and keywords. It has been created with Google Adsense in mind and uses very complicated algorithms and processes in order to obtain the results. Hundreds of very successful Adsense users have used it in order to increase their Adsense revenue. If you are not a member yet, then please stop by to visit!

If you read the previous post (you remember, the one from a couple
days ago) then you’ve probably been spending most of your time
daydreaming about how you can raise your Adsense revenue. Beginning
to understand how Adsense works is an exciting time, its almost
like the whole world is open to you.

But before you start implementing your new ideas, you should always
be aware of the things you need to be very careful of. In this
post, I wanted to spell out for you 7 specific things which you
MUST follow if you wish to be successful with Adsense.

1. Do not skip putting in your correct information

When you sign up for Google Adsense, ensure that you sign up using
your correct sign-up information. This might sound very basic, but
you’d be surprised how many people don’t pay enough attention and
fill in their information wrong.

If you do not fill all your contact information in correctly and
Google finds out, they will immediately cancel your account and not
pay you any money owed to you. It doesn’t matter if it was done by
accident or not, Google has a Zero tolerance policy when it comes
to certain things. .

2. Do not modify the Adsense code at all.

Do not try to modify the Adsense code under any circumstance.
Google will not hesitate to cancel your account if they find out
and trust me, they will.

Also, do not try to cheat Google to receive false clicks. Google
has a whole department dealing with fraud, and you are likely to
get into a lot of trouble if you try. I know that most people would
never dream of deceiving Google, but sometimes, it pays to state
the obvious.

3. Do not put ads on pages which are deemed unsuitable

As part of Google’s terms and conditions, you are not allowed to
put ads on your registration, confirmation or thank you pages.

4. Be careful not to put other context sensitive ads on your page

Google does not want other PPC companies having ads on the same
pages as theirs. If you are playing their game, you need to play by
their rules.

5. Do not draw undue attention to your ads

Although you can make you ads noticeable on your page, you are not
allowed to ask someone to click on your ad. The goal is to walk
that thin line between coming straight out and saying ‘click here’
and making your site interesting and relevant enough to tell your
traffic that they should want to click.

Google is constantly changing their rules concerning ad placement
and relevance. I suggest you make sure you should thoroughly
examine what the rules are before attempting.

6. Never ever click on your own ads

By no means must you EVER click on your own ads. This will get you
banned very quickly from Adsense. If you do click on your ad by
mistake, then you should email Adsense informing them of your
mistake telling them the URL and the time. Like I said before,
Google has a Zero tolerance policy when it comes to fraud.

7. Don’t be scared off!

Once you learn the rules of Adsense and follow them closely, you
can soon start to build up a very healthy residual income.

Contrary to what you read in some ebooks, making money with Adsense
is fairly difficult.

Sure, anyone can make a couple of dollars a day by putting up a
website about their favorite hobby. But if you are looking to make
serious money, your hobby just isn’t going to cut it.

If you are sincere about making money with Adsense then over the
course of the next few months you’ll learn all that it takes to
turn your sincerity and hard work into actual cash.

Let’s start with 5 tips that you must always be aware of when using
Adsense.

These tips will not make you a millionaire overnight, but they will
guarantee that you are maximizing your possible revenue.

1. Make your Adsense ads look like they are part of the content

People do not like having advertisements shoved in their face. Your
goal is to provide people with an opportunity, not another boring
ad. You page position is an extremely important aspect of ad
blending. Try as much as possible to make your ads contained within
your content as opposed to around it. This can be done by putting
your ads within a table and then left or right aligning that table

Everyday in newspapers and magazines we look at ads and most have
borders. By matching the AdSense ad background and border colors to
the colors of your page you will significantly increase your
click-thru-rate. Changing your colors can easily be done through
your Adsense control panel by creating a new theme

2. Use a Google Search Box

Within your Adsense panel, you will find that you can also obtain
code to put a search box on your website. Many people don’t do this
as it does not seem to create much revenue. However, positioned
correctly, it can act as the place where visitors to your site do
enter their search time to go to the next place. If they click on
one of the ads on the search page, then you will make money.
Surfers surf the internet to find information. It is easy for
visitors to find this information through Google or another search
engine. By putting a search box on your page, you are making it
easy for visitors as well as generating revenue for yourself.

3. Provide Good Content.

CONTENT IS KING!! If you want visitors to come to your website,
bookmark it and click on your ads then it is extremely important,
that you provide them with good content. If visitors feel cheated
and do not find information on your page that they thought that
they would, then they will surely leave as quickly as they came,
without clicking on anything but the back button.

4. Repeat Success

If you have figured out a formula that works, stick with it.

If you see that one of your websites is turning a profit. Don’t
analyze the formula to death, just repeat it until it stops working.

Build ten sites and you will have multiplied your earnings by ten!
Sometimes life can be this simple.

5. Choose the Correct Keyword Phrases

There is no point in building lots of sites and finding that your
clicks are barely worth more than a penny.

The MOST IMPORTANT factor to exploding your Adsense revenue is to
choose the keywords that will pay.  Who wants to struggle with
3cent keywords when for the same effort, they could be struggling
with $3 words?
