More Ways to Improve Your AdSense Earnings
One of the easiest ways to earn money from your website is through the use of AdSense. There is always more money in contacting advertisers directly and inviting them to put their ads on your site for a fee, but there is a fair amount of work in doing that, while AdSense, once set up properly requires minimum maintenance to earn a few dollars a day from a site or sites. Some site owners are getting hundreds of dollars a day from the AdSense ads they have placed on their websites. So what are these people doing differently from the rest?
Here are 5 time tested ways on how to maximize your AdSense earnings.
1. In the first instance try concentrating on just one AdSense ad format. One format which seems to work well for the most people is the Large Rectangle (336X280) format, which seems to translate into a click-through rate. Of course, if you are doing your testing of ads by using Google channels, and finding that the click-through rates are low, by all means change to a different format and see how that goes..
2. Try to choose a color integrates well with the general color scheme of your site. If your site has a white background, take out the default blue borders of the ad format. The general idea is to make the AdSense look like it is part of the page content. This technique should result in more clicks from people visiting your site. However, do not try to be too sneaky in disguising your ads, as you may be violating the Google terms of sale, and your AdSense ID will be deactivated, which means that you cannot have AdSense on any of your sites, not just the one which has caused the violation.
3. Don't put AdSense "below the fold" so that people have to scroll down to see them. Put them at the top, ideally at top left, where .people can see them as soon as they hit your landing page .Sometimes earnings can be greatly increased just by changing the position of your ads.
4. Try to get links to relevant websites. One way links if possible, but reciprocal links will do. Remember AdSense does look at the relevance of your links, so if you have a site on baby care, don't link to a site selling used cars.
5. See if your server supports SSI (server side included). SSL just means that you can save your AdSense code in a text file, upload it to your root directory, and, by using SSI, retrieve the code from other pages within your site. Means that you can change your AdSense format once (in the text file), and it will automatically change the format on every page. If your site is in the php format, you will be able to do this anyway, by changing the relevant file in the "include" folder.
These are some of the tips that have worked well in the past. It is also important to make sure that the ads are which displayed fit the interest of the visitors viewing the page and focus on a topic that persons will be already be viewing, i.e. the content of your web page.
Note that there will be plenty of competition for the same keywords as you, so you must do something different and make your returns better than everyone else's.
These tips are just basic guidelines for you to implement on your site. If they have worked well for other site owners, then perhaps they can work well for you At least give them a try and see if they bring any increase in your current earnings from AdSense.
