How would you like to increase your monthly website revenue by 25% with only a few hours of work? What if I said that it wouldn’t cost you a dime? It’s hard to believe isn’t it?
I know this claim sounds as though I should be pitching a $200 get-rich-quick scheme in the next couple of paragraphs, but I’m not. The technique I used was free to me, and I’m sharing this information with you free of charge because I’m more excited about this discovery than I can put into words.
What did I do to achieve this jump in revenue? I placed Google Adsense advertising boxes on my website, and in just the first seven days, I generated over $1700 in Adsense revenue. Even better, I didn’t have any decrease in sales from the original source of revenue for these sites – paid memberships to my wholesale information directory.
I’ve known about Adsense for years, but I always thought that it was a system best used by free informational websites needing to generate revenue. My reasoning behind this was that I thought that these ads could possibly bleed traffic from my site and steal potential paying customers. I’m happy to say that I was wrong, and I only wish I would have tested this program earlier to discover how wrong I was.
I am completely surprised by how well these advertisements have paid. I have done some research on ad placement agencies, and I don't think that there is an agency online that could sell ads for me at the rate that AdSense pays per thousand impressions, and I know that if I advertised banner space or text link space on my site that I couldn't sell it at an equivalent cost per thousand impressions. I would tell you the cost per thousand impressions, but it's against their terms to discuss it.
Google AdSense may well be the most lucrative source of income for website owners seeking to sell ad space on their site, and the results are instant. All you need to do is place the code and let your current visitors click on the link ads.
It’s a very simple system that is easy for anyone to implement. All you need is:
1. A website with quality content
2. An existing traffic source, be it 100 visits a day or 100,000+ visits a day.
3. The ability to read the Google Adsense Program Policies
4. Free page real estate, hopefully in a conspicuous place above the fold
It is that simple; however I cannot stress enough that you read the Google Adsense Program Policies. There are certain types of sites, certain types of pages, and certain types of advertising on and through which Adsense will not allow their ads to be associated. It is each advertiser’s responsibility to know their guidelines and avoid breaking any rule that could put their account and an excellent source of revenue in jeopardy.
Finally, let me stress that these ads should be placed in a conspicuous place. Visit the site linked in the “About the Author” section below for examples. No matter how effectively your site is designed, more people will leave a page without reading below the fold than will continue on to the bottom of the page. For that reason, as you’ll see in my site, I place the ads at the top right of my page, in an area where any visitor to my site can find them.
Adsense is an excellent source of revenue for any website owner. Don’t waste time like I did. Place some ads on your site, and I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the results.

27 Google Adsense Tips and Tricks for making more money
27 Google Adsense Tips and Tricks for making more money (profit) from Google adsense program. - You will always earn more revenue from Adsense by playing it clean. If you like these tips for using the Google AdSense program., also check my other adsense articles.
1. Strictly follow rules mentioned in Adsense policies
2. Never modify the Google Adsense HTML code.
3. 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.”.
4. 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 these precautions.
5. Don’t place ads in pop-up windows, error pages or even empty pages
6. Don’t start another “student consolidation” or “home equity loan rates” website. 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.
7. For short articles, CTR is best when ads are placed just above the content
8. 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.
9. 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 300×250 medium rectangle or the 160×600 wide skyscraper - or both, if you display multiple ad units on a page.
10. Google Ads without background color and borders always perform better. Make the border color and background color same as your page background color.
11. 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.
12. Try setting the ad link URL color to a lighter shade. If your text is black, you may make the adlink as light gray.
13. Go Wide - The large rectangle is the best paying adsense format (336×280) - The Google Adsense Publisher team also feels that the best formats are the wider ones รข€“ the ad formats that contain the widest individual ads. Try using the 336×280 large rectangle, 300×250 medium rectangle, or 160×600 wide skyscraper.
14. Placing images next to ads or above ads does help in attracting user attention.
15. 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.
16. 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)
17. 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.
18. 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 or header tags.
19. Open Google Adsense search box results in a new browser window, so you won’t lose your visitors.
20. Maximum people think the search box is on the top right corner. So you know where to put it.
21. 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.
22. Use URL channels to determine performance of individual pages. I track my most popular pages with Statcounter and create a channel for each of the URL.
23. For low CTR pages, try changing titles or adding more content to get better focused ads
24. Block low paying advertisers with Filters. Why to loose a visitor for 0.01 cents.
25. 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.
26. Not everyone has a RSS reader. Use RSS to Email services like FeedBlitz, Bloglet or Rmail to let users subscribe to your blog by email.
27. You are the best judge when it comes to choosing ad formats. Even Google doesn’t offer the best advise always. For instance, in the visual heat map, Google suggests that webmasters are best served by positioning ads on the upper left-hand side of a Web page. But on the Google homepage, you will find ads on the far rig

Get Quality Traffic And More Clicks At Your Google Adsense Site
Get Quality Traffic And More Clicks At Your Google Adsense Site
Keen Google Adsense affiliates will quickly notice that not all traffic they receive at their Adsense site is click-happy traffic.
There will be times when a very high percentage of the traffic received at the Google affiliate site will end up clicking on the Adsense ads displayed. There will be other times when hardly a soul will click on any of the ads.
Closer examination will usually reveal a fascinating and yet obvious fact. And that is the more tightly targeted the traffic, the more clicks you will tend to receive.
This simply means that it is very possible to receive a fraction of the traffic that another site receives, but simply because of how tightly targeted your traffic is, you could easily end up receiving many more clicks and much higher Adsense earnings. There are even cases where the other site may have three or four times the kind of traffic that your site has and yet you will enjoy more clicks and much higher Adsense earnings.
This clearly illustrates the fact that many webmasters and blog owners quite often end up receiving a large percentage of curious rather than interested visitors. In a way this cannot be avoided because most search terms will hardly produce results that are anywhere near 100 per cent accurate. In fact search results and the improvement of search results is at the center of the current fierce and ongoing battle between leading search engines.
While curiosity is a powerful marketing tool that can be used to get visitors to click more at your Google affiliate Adsense ads ads (see other article by this author- direct to webcontent blog) this strategy will hardly work when a vast majority of the visitors you attract to your site are not really interested in the subject at hand. Yet many webmasters keen on receiving high traffic for the sake of high traffic have often used tactics that tend to trick people to make their way to their sites. This strategy hardly makes sense and the Google affiliate Adsense program illustrates this fact rather brutally.
So how does a Google affiliate site attract highly targeted traffic? It is important that before even embarking on the mission of attracting targeted traffic, that you ensure that your site or blog is tightly targeted at a certain audience and that your content clearly reflects this. This is the only way that you will be able to attract the sort of Adsense ads that will be of interest to your visitors. A common mistake with many is to have a site that is just too general which also attracts Adsense ads that are too general.
One of the most effective ways of ensuring or guaranteeing targeted traffic to your site or blog is to give your visitors a sneak preview of your contents. Let them read sample articles of what they will find at your site. The way to do this is to distribute your articles to high traffic article directories and sites. These sites will publish your articles free and will also include your resource box at the bottom which will give details about you complete with the url to your site or blog.
Some folks will read your article and not visit your site. Which is okay because what should really matter to you is receiving targeted traffic. Actually only a small fraction of the people who read your article will end up at your site, but the good news is that the people who do end up at your site will be very interested in what you have to offer and will tend to spend a long time at your site. This is the sort of traffic that any webmaster or blog owner would easily kill for.
Of course there are other factors that are important for you to achieve success here. For example your content will have to be very well written. This need not be expensive if you are hiring an online writer as we have various low cost options that will give you quality content.
Whatever you need to do will be well worth the effort because using this method, the visitors whom you end up with at your site will tend to continually and perpetually click at your Adsense ads. Cuasing your Adsense earnings to rise steeply. Which is exactly what you want to happen. But then there is plenty more you can do to increase your volume of visitors and ultimately the clicks at your sites and your Adsense revenue.
