Google
Adsense is perhaps the easiest way to attract advertisers
from across the globe to your website. Just submit
your website to Google for approval. If Google likes
what it sees, it will place contextual ads linking
to products likely to appeal to the readers. Each
time a reader clicks a link, the advertiser pays Google
a small fee, and Google splits that with you.

- How to Make Money with Google Adsense ? Here are
The best Google Adsense tips for making more money
(profit) from Google adsense program.
B. Never modify the Google Adsense HTML code.
C. Don't ask your friends or visitors to click on your
Google ads. Do not include incentives of any kind
for users to click on ads. Don't label the Google
ads with text other than "sponsored links"
or "advertisements.".
D. Don't click on your own ads - Google is much smarter
than you think. You should not reload your pages excessively.
If you are testing your website layout with Google
adsense, follow some precautions. Or you can use the
unofficial Google Adsense Sandbox Tool that is accessible
from Firefox, IE and other browsers to see what kind
of Google ads will be served based on content (website
address URL) or keywords.
E. Don't place ads in pop-up windows, error pages or
even empty pages.
F. Don't start a "adsense asbestos" or "home
equity loan rates" website merely to make money
from accidental clicks (accidence). You will never
make money out these "made-for-adsense-only"
websites. Instead, write on topics what you are passionate
about. Don't waste your money on high-paying adsense
keywords lists.
H. For long articles, CTR improves if ads are placed
somewhere in middle of the content - visitors read
the long content and then they are looking for more
resources.
I. Use Text Ads instead of Image Ads as users get more
options. If you still want to display image ads, consider
ad formats that support image ads
- Choose either the 300x250 medium rectangle or the
160x600 wide skyscraper
- or both, if you display multiple ad units on a page.
J. Google Ads without background color and borders always
perform better. Make the border color and background
color same as your page background color.
K. Always put ads above the main fold. Make sure that
the ad unit with the highest clickthrough rate is
the first instance of the ad code that appears in
the HTML. Since the first ad unit is always filled
before the rest, you want to make sure that ad unit
is located in the best placement on your page.
L. Try setting the ad link URL color to a lighter shade.
If your text is black, you may make the adlink as
light gray.
M. Go Wide - The large rectangle is the best paying adsense
format (336x280) - The Google Adsense Publisher team
also feels that the best formats are the wider ones
- the ad formats that contain the widest individual
ads. Try using the 336x280 large rectangle, 300x250
medium rectangle, or 160x600 wide skyscraper.
N. Placing images next to ads or above ads does help
in attracting user attention.
O. Blend AdLinks with other navigation links or place
horizontal adlinks at the top of your webpage. AdSense
publishers are permitted to click on link unit topics
on their web pages, provided that they do not click
on any Google ads on the resulting page.
P. Organize an Adsense Party for your friends and colleagues
- Request them to navigate your website, watch their
activity - it will provide vital clues about which
regions on your website draw more user attention.
Try putting ads near those areas. (Thanks Darren)
Q. You can put upto 3 adsense units on a page. Try putting
a large skyscraper on the right navigation sidebar
of your website. That area is close to the browser
scrollbar. You can also add 2 AdSense for search boxes,
1 adlink unit and 1 referral button per product (i.e.,
1 AdSense referral button and 1 Firefox plus Google
Toolbar referral button).
R. The first few lines of your content are an important
factor for determining what Ads are served on your
webpage. That's the right place to put keywords in
bold (strong or < b > tags) or header tags (h1,
h2, etc).
S. Always select the setting to open Google Adsense search
box results in a new browser window, so you won't
lose your visitors. Click the Open search results
in a new browser window checkbox and this add target="google_window"
to your form tag.
T. Maximum people think the search box is on the top
right corner. So you know where to put it.
U. Don't syndicate full content. If people can read everything
from the newsreader window itself, why would they
visit your website where your ads are.
V. Use URL channels to determine performance of individual
pages. I track my most popular pages with Google Analytics,
Statcounter and create a channel for each of the URL.
You can even track Adsense Clicks with Analytics
W. For low CTR pages, try changing titles or adding more
content to get better focused ads
X. Block low paying advertisers with Filters. Why to
loose a visitor for 0.01 cents. Use Overture or Google
Adwords Keywords tool to discover keywords that are
less popular with advertisers.
Y. The AdSense for search Top Queries report shows you
what your users are looking for, by listing the 25
most common searches conducted through your AdSense
for search boxes. Use this report to identify additional
topics to add to your site, or to keep track of your
most sought-after information. Focus and improve that
content.
Z. Not everyone has a RSS reader. Use RSS to Email services
like FeedBlitz, websitelet or Rmail to let users subscribe
to your website by email.
