Making money with AdSense is many people’s dream however only some succeed with it and not all, why is that? Because they are not doing it right.
Here are 7 secrets that I’ve found out about which will help boost your Adsense revenue: (Just to clarify, these are all WHITE HAT SEO methods and don’t even try to cheat Google Adsense team, they are smart little guys )
Move your AdSense template
There’s a direct connection between the placement of your AdSense ads and your click through rate.
When AdSense ads are placed next to “content zones” (rather than in “advertising zones), you typically generate more clicks (which pays you more Google AdSense revenue).
The content zone is located just above the beginning of your content. Most of your webpage visitors are blind to AdSense ads placed in the traditional spots like your navigation bar. However the same ads displayed above your content usually gets clicked more often.
Use this AdSense template
You can choose from 12 AdSense templates to display, but the pros find the 336-pixel by 280-pixel (large rectangle) ad size generates (by far) the highest number of clicks per 1,000 visitors.
Changing to this size gave me the biggest instant boost in AdSense revenue.
Change up your title for higher AdSense revenues
AdSense robots often use the title of your webpage to determine which ad to display. So editing the title on your webapge is often the difference between making a few pennies per click on your AdSense ads to generating over 50 cents (or even a dollar) per click.
For example, take a look at these similar phrases:
- DIY home surveillance
- do it yourself home security
Both of these keyword phrases seem the same… but the difference is Google advertisers are willing to pay almost 170 times more for webpages themed for “do it yourself home security” (average of $8.47 per click) than “DIY home surveillance” (at 5 cents a click).
This boosts your AdSense revenues at least 300%
Did you know AdSense for Search is MUCH more profitable than AdSense for Content?
I insert a Google AdSense search box at the bottom of my webpage (just below the end of the content area)… and each click typically generates 538% more of the eCPM (effective cost per thousand) compared to standard AdSense templates.
Kick out deadbeat advertisers
AdSense now gives us the ability to delete the worst-performing advertisers in just a few mouse clicks.
It’s called “Category Filters”… you find it within your AdSense account here:
AdSense Setup –> Ad Review Center
Google AdSense displays “Filtered Categories” and (relatively) up-to-date statistics… revealing the best-performing categories (and the worst).
AdSense helps us eliminate categories that are unprofitable. For example, 8.7% of my ads displayed “Get Rich Quick” advertisers… but my “% Recent Earnings” was 0.0%. That told me I was showing ads that didn’t pay me a single cent. So I checked it off, clicked the [Submit] button… and those unprofitable ads are not going to display on my webpages anymore.
Blend your AdSense ads with your design
We all know our website visitors HATE ads. It’s called “Ad Blindness.” Most even use ad blockers to avoid ads.
Instead, have your AdSense ads blend in with the theme of your webpage. And skip the borders… this lets your visitors know that you’re displaying ads — not good.
Target the less intelligent
A new study by Chitika.com reveals the way a person arrives from a search engine to your site helps us understand how they click on our AdSense ads.
This is a bit confusing at first… read this slow:
People who search by clicking the button on Google’s homepage are 50% more likely to go on to click ads on your page than people who search by any other Google means, according to online ad network Chitika.
For example, if Scott Johnson searches Google.com for “lose belly fat” and finishes his search clicking the [Search] submit button on Google.com, Scott Johnson is 50% more likely to click on your AdSense text ads than by searching only using the [Enter] key.
Why? SEO expert Rand Fishkin thinks that sophisticated web surfers are searching without clicking Google’s [Search] submit button — saving a step. On the flip side, less-sophisticated searchers are clicking the search button — and clicking on our Google AdSense ads.
Bottom line: Tweak your webpage’s theme to target rookies, not sophisticated search users.
