No doubt about it, Google Adsense is a very hot topic on forums, newsgroups, and ezines. Does it seem as if others are making a killing with Adsense each month except you? With all the people getting online and clicking away everyday, it is no wonder why Google Adsense has become an instant hit.
But how is it that some publishers are making $1000 paychecks each month, while you’re lucky to get $1 in clicks?
There is a simple formula to Google Adsense success.
Traffic + Content +Proper Ad Placement & Format= More Clicks & More Income $
1. Targeting high traffic is a very important factor in getting more clicks to your website. The more traffic, the more clicks….it’s really a numbers game.
Check on your stats. What are your daily impressions? What are your monthly impressions? Most importantly, what can you improve these numbers?
2. High Quality Content will help you improve your traffic stats. People surf the Internet to get free information. By providing quality content on your site, you are giving your visitors what they are looking for.
The key is to provide quality, targeted, and unique content. Never think that by copying and pasting articles from free article directories is enough to get by. Your best bet is to write your own articles or at least rewrite PLR articles.
3. Proper Ad Placement and Format can improve your click through rate. The biggest mistake I see with newbies is poor Google Adsense Ad placement and format.
Step back for a moment and look at your website through the eyes of your visitors.
Placing an ad unit after your first post will likely catch your readers’ eye. Google also suggests placing a Skyscraper (120×600) or vertical link unit on the right side of your blog. But remember, these are just suggestions. To
To increase the likelihood that your readers will see and click on your ads, blend your ad units into the background of your blog. Choose a bold color for the ad title to help draw attention to your ads, then make sure that the background and borders of your ads are the same color as the background of the area where the ad is placed.
There is one more thing to keep in mind with it comes to your Adsense income. Some keywords pay higher than others. For example, the keyword “cat toys” most likely pays a lot lower than the keyword “debt consolidation”.
What I’m trying to say here is that if you run a site based on low paying keywords, you won’t make a lot of Adsense revenue UNLESS you get A LOT of traffic.
The key to success with Adsense is the placing of ads on pages that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords. The higher the cost-per-click to the advertiser, the more you will receive per click from your site. Obviously, it does not pay to target low cost-per-click keywords and place them on pages that do not receive hits.
