6 Tips to Earn More Money with Google Adsense

Are you one of those millions of people who are struggling just to earn a few dollars on google adsense? Do you want to know some simple yet effective tips on how you can maximize your adsense earnings? Then read on. Below are 7 tips which will explode your adsense earnings instantly.

1. Blending the Ads with Your Website

This is probably the most important tip when putting your google ads on your website. You must blend in your ads with your website. So if you have a white background for your website, use white background for your google ads. You need to steer away from using the standard formats, as they result in a low number of clicks. If you do that, you will find your click through rate jump instantly. This is due to the fact that you will make the visitors think that your ads are part of your content, and don't seem to look like ads, so they will most likely to click on the ads.

2. Use the full quota of your ads.

It's as simple as that. Use the full quota of your ads. Since Google only allows you to have a maximum of 3 ads on any one page, then use 3 ads on any one page. Put as much ads on your website as you can, without breaking Google's terms.

3. Put your ads near the top of the page

Put your ads near the top of the page. Why? So that when people come to your site, they will be able to see the ads. Not all of them will be willing to scroll down to the bottom of the page. Also, put your ads on the left hand side, rather on the right hand side, because we read from left to right. Simple? Yes, it's that simple.

4. Use Text Links Ads, they generate a higher income.

I don't know why, but somehow, text links ads, especially the horizontal ones, generate a very high click through rate and revenue. I have experimented on many sites and text links ads usually perform very well.

5. Read Newspapers.

Newspaper? You may be wondering how newspapers relate to adsense, but in fact, newspaper is the best place to learn ad positioning. Just by copying the ad positioning of newspaper, you will realise that your adsense revenue will dramatically jump.

6. My Adsense Revenue almost tripled when I applied this technique

What is it? It is very simple. Put pictures on top or very close to your ads. By doing that, you will attract more attention and people will be more likely to click on your ads. However, please do be careful that you don't get random pictures off Google, as many pictures are protected by copyright laws. Please use only pictures that are royalty free.

While many people may tell you that they knew these tips long time ago, you will realize that only 0.1% of the people apply these techniques to their website.

People, your use of these tips should depend on what you want to accomplish with your site. I'll address some of these points individually...

Put as much ads on your website as you can, without breaking Google's terms.
If you're not worried about repeat traffic, or visitor retention, then go this route, but keep in mind that the more ads you serve, the greater the chances are that people will click on lower paying ads. The ones that pay the most will be served first, so it follows that the fewer ads you serve, the higher EPC you'll get.

Also, put your ads on the left hand side, rather on the right hand side, because we read from left to right. Simple? Yes, it's that simple.
Ads get a higher CTR being in the main content area of your page vs. left or right sides. Check out Google's own advice.

I don't know why, but somehow, text links ads, especially the horizontal ones, generate a very high click through rate and revenue.
It's called ad blindness - people are able to visually ignore ads that look like ads, i.e. 468x60 images.

Newspaper? You may be wondering how newspapers relate to adsense, but in fact, newspaper is the best place to learn ad positioning.
I'm not sure I understand this... Newspapers typically don't have ads in the middle of articles or in any of the hot spots suggested by Google.

Put pictures on top or very close to your ads.
Important to note that you don't want to use images that point to your ads, i.e. fingers, arrows, etc. - that's against Google's TOS.

There is no point of getting a high EPC. The key is to get a higher CTR.


Ads get a higher CTR being in the main content area of your page vs. left or right sides. Check out Google's own advice.

What I mean is, put the ads to the left RATHER than on the right. I am not comparing between the middle and the left or on the right. However, I do personally believe that left hand side tend to do better than the middle.

You can use the techniques, such as ad formating and borders etc. In fact, they do put ads in hot spots suggested by Google

Yes, I agree with that.

[carminejg3]

good sound advice.

I don't agree with the multiple ads because of smart pricing.

I had two ad boxes placed one made very good money. The other recieved some good clicks.... but the cpm was VERY poor. So poor that i decided to give up that money for a test. So now im running one ad.


Also newspapers make money based on ad space. they need to sell say 30% of a page, and then they fit the ads around articles so as far as cliciking. but I would check out ONLINE Newspapers

yes position is really important, and refering to newspaper ads are really good when it comes to your layouting of adsense into your site.:p

Also, put your ads on the left hand side, rather on the right hand side, because we read from left to right.

This is confusing because I have also read reports that placing on the right side is better. I tried experimenting but get almost same results.

you need to experiment with your own site....

So people love normal link blue.... my site visitors look right past it but they love the dark blue...... you may lose a few bucks here and there testing but I'd rather know that i get say a good solid 5% ctr with dark blue links, then only a 2% ctr with normal blue... (and yes dark blue is higher ecpm)


sometimes the normal blue would justfy staying thats it your 2% ctr was paying you $30 ecpm, and the dark blue 5% ctr was only paying you $8.

Bottom line play around look at other sites, and see what works.

Tip 5 is a very great tip. :D
With that way i learned very much about placing ads on a page.

[wwwSENSERELYcom]

tip 6 is now (since jan.07) a sure way to have one's site unable to publish ads and perhaps have one's adsense account banned

[jnick1]

The problem with tip 6 is if you have a site about for example is if you have a site about the wonders of using a cell phone and you place a photo on the site with a cell phone in it.

When the ad runs from google if it is about cell phones and apears next to the cell phone picture it might just look like that the photo of the cell phone goes with the ad. This will get you into hot water with google.

If you have a photo of a sail boat next to a cell phone ad they don't mind so much.

dont like multy ads unless the content suits

One thing that seemed to increase CTR on some of my sites is putting a banner next to the Google ads.
I mean not an image that is meant to be associated with the ads but a banner ad that is obviously not related to the area taken up by the Google ads.

My only explanation for that is that the built-in "ad filter" that each user
has is triggered by the colorful banner. Therefore the Google text ads are seen more as part of the content.
So I use the banners to drive attention away from them.

@masterous - I have a web site with mobile content - want to link exchange? Or, should I say, hoćeš li da razmenimo linkove? :D:D:D
