Correct positioning of your Google adsense ads can make or break your success with the Google adsense program. Why is this true? Some studies suggest that eye positioning on website gravitate to particular sections of web pages. And if you don’t have the necessary ads in these positions you will not get the clicks. I talked to countless people that have great traffic, some with 300 to 1000 new visitors a day that say that they only make approx. at max $10 to $20 dollars a month on the adsense program. What a shame. But when I look at their websites the ads are either buried in wording that no one usually pays attention to or the ads are located in positions that just don’t call any attention to their presence. So were the best locations for you Google adsense ads. Well, I have found the number one best place for the ads are near or in proximity to your main menu. Why near your main menu. Because you know that visitors eyes will and always look for the menu structure of your website. So the common places for placement should be to the top right, the very top under your menu, or the top left. These are the most common locations for you main menu. But what about the color scheme of the Google adsense ads? Yes, color is very important. You have to make the ads looks as seamless as possible. Here is an example on one of my website http://www.pottery-barn-outlet.com. Here I decided to position the ads at the very top right under my main menu. In direct eye contact. Also, remove the borders; just these two changes will increase your adsense proceeds one hundred percent. By using these tactics I was able to increase my adsense click through rate significantly depending on traffic level and people's interest. Take my advice and give it try. I believe you will see a change and hopefully make adsense a more pleasurable experience.

Adsense is a wonderful opportunity for you to generate additional income for your website. It doesnâ€™t cost you anything is the best part! Adsense is also very simple. You have to complete an application with Google and be accepted to host advertisements for other businesses. Then you simply add lines of code to the html on the pages of the website where you are willing to have advertisements. With that all in place, how do you blend the Adsense Ads into your website so they donâ€™t stick out like a sore thumb? You donâ€™t want them to distract the consumer from what you are offering on your website.
You may not be aware of it, but you have a lot of say in how the advertisements are placed on your website including the placement, layout, color, and style. There are many places on a website to put Adsense Ads. Some prefer to place it on the top of the page and others like the bottom of the page. Along either side of the text for your website is convenient too. Since we read from left to right, the right side is more common as it will attract attention as the eyes move across the page. According to Google Adsense, the most effective location is at the top of the page because the entire ad can be seen. Often parts of it are hidden when on the sides unless the mouse is used to scroll over the information. This can be distracting to the consumer and lose the effectiveness of the advertisement. They also recommend using different colors for the ads to differentiate it from your website materials, but to use colors that compliment each other. The layout can be modified to make it different or the same as your website. Some advertisement hosts like everything to be in the same style and size to give a symmetrical look to the pages. Others like to have their information completely distinct from the advertisements. Both are effective so it is only a matter of personal preference as to how you want your website to appear. Colors including the background can be changed to make everything work together well. You might have to experience a little to come up with the right design you are happy with. You want to blend the Adsense ads enough that they look natural appearing on your website rather than appearing to be out of place. If they donâ€™t look natural they can be distracting to the consumer. They also wonâ€™t be effective because consumers donâ€™t trust what doesnâ€™t look professional when it comes to the internet. This could be damaging to your own sales on your website so pay close attention to this issue. It is a good idea to ask some others for feedback on how the information appears to them on your website. You should avoid placing ads to where they appear to be banners. Adsense offers you some useful tools as well to get everything to blend. The Google Adsense Preview tools allow you to test the layout of your website with the ads in place. This gives you the opportunity to change anything that is ineffective before your consumers view in over the internet. You can also contact their customer support 24/7 for questions or concerns you may have. Adsense is a great way for your website to generate additional income by offering to host advertisements for other businesses with similar products and services to offer consumers. You are still in control of the layout and design of your website. You have the ability to change the color, layout, and style of the advertisements placed on your website. You also get to determine where they are placed. This makes the idea of participating in Adsense advertising even more appealing. Terry Detty, 42 years old, finds internet marketing his passion.

Adsense - Playing By The Rules

2008-06-22T19:53:00.000-07:00

Posted by Gary Smith on: 2006-09-10 16:56:35

AdSense has become a major part of many Internet marketers income portfolios. It's fast and easy and of course very lucrative if you take the time to learn how to implement it effectively.
Like most income streams though, there are always people out there who do their best to take advantage of the system in any way they can to maximize their earnings. Exploiting systems by taking advantage of the shortcomings or bugs in the system is generally a short term deal. As soon as the supplier finds out that they are either not getting or not providing value for their service, they will very quickly close any 'holes' and fix the bugs. When you take into account the millions of dollars that are generated from Adsense ads each month, it goes without saying that Google will go to great lengths to ensure that their advertisers are getting good value for their advertising dollar. With this in mind, if you intend to monetize your site with Adsense and want this to be a long term income strategy you need to be familiar with the terms and conditions. Lets strip away some of the 'legalese' and take a look at some of the policies, requirements and also the type of activity that may cause your account to be terminated. * Up to three ad units may be displayed on each Web site page - that's pretty clear. You can have up to 3 ad units, regardless of size or placement, on each of your web pages. * A maximum of two Google AdSense for search boxes may be placed on a page - again, that's easy enough to understand. The search boxes are the ones that allow you or your visitors to search the Internet or your web site using a Google Search box on your web page. * A single link unit may be placed on each Web site page, in addition to the ad units and search boxes - the link units are a different format to standard adsense units. They provide just the link with no URL or additional text. You can have one of these in addition to your adsense ads and search boxes. * A single referral button per product may be placed on a page - Google will pay you for referrals, but you are allowed only one referral link on each web page. Those policies spell out what you are allowed to do. Now lets look at things you aren't allowed to do. From an advertisers point of view, the quality of the page their advertisement is displayed on will bear a relation to the quality of the visitors who actually click on this page. This is one of the reasons you are not permitted to place ad units on pages that have no other content. The rule of thumb is that you should only be placing ad units on pages that contain some sort of valuable or useful content. The reality is that it is in your interest to provide useful content. The better your content is, the more likely it is that it will appear higher in the search engines. This in turn brings you more traffic and the traffic you get is mostly people who are interested in the subject matter of your site. These also happen to be the people who are most likely to click on your ads simply because they have come to your web site looking for information and/or products. Other things that you need to avoid in order to protect your account include: * Never place ad units on pornographic, racist or hate related sites. * Never place ad units on error, registration or 'thank you' pages. Remember, the advertisers want their ads on useful, relevant pages. Common sense should tell you that these pages are neither relevant or useful for advertising. It's a bit like placing an ad inside a cabinet. Nobody goes there looking for information or products! * Never click on any of the ads on your website. This is considered fraud (for obvious reasons). If you do accidentally click on an ad, make sure you contact Google support immediately and let them know which page and the date and approximate time. * Never place ads on pages that you display in Traffic or surfing/hit exchanges. This is mentioned in the policies and is not permitted. I hope this information has been useful. Adsense is a great way to earn some extra income, but you need to make the effort to ensure you are within the terms and conditions. At the end of the day, common sense should give you a good indication whether you are doing the right thing with Adsense ads. If in doubt, check the programme policies at https://www.google.com/adsense/policies.About The Author:Gary Smith has been an Internet user since 1990 and an IT consultant since 1995.

How to Increase Your Google Adsense CTR

2008-06-22T19:49:00.000-07:00

Posted by Enzo Chiu on: 2006-10-05 19:56:14

This is the first part of two series of articles about How to Increase Your Google Adsense CTR. Many people think that they just have to copy and paste Google Adsense code into their website and start earning a huge amount of money from it. What a huge mistake! I also thought the same way two years ago. Later I realized that without optimization, that's impossible. Here I will share all of the tricks to increase my Google Adsense CTR that I found within the last two years.
Here are some tips to increase your Google Adsense CTR:
Make sure the ads that are appearing on your site are closely related with your content. This is the first thing you have to do because if your ads are not relevant, there's small possibility that people will click on them. Then, what should you do to tackle this problem? Here are the tips:
Create a keyword rich content. I suggest you creating one topic a page.
Check your keyword rich content and then mark some of your keywords as bold or italic. But don't do it too much, just do it 1 â€“ 2 times per page. Otherwise, Google assumes you are doing spamming.
Use your keyword in your page title.
Use HTML Tag H1 as your content title, and put your keyword in it. Don't forget to place this tag at the beginning of your content.
If all those tips still do not work, there is just one possibility: there are no ads that matched with your keyword! You can check this out by using this marvelous tool from the Digital Point Website. It is called the Google Adsense Sandbox, and located in http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/Adsense-sandbox/You'll be asked to enter your selected keyword and it will display every Adsense ads that's connected with that keyword. What if your suspicion is correct? Change your keyword! Do not worry; sometimes you just have to change one or two words.
Use wide ads (336x280, 300x250 or 250x250). Because these are the best performing ads.
Blend your ads with your website themes. For example, if your background color is white, change your ads border and background color to white as well. If your background color is dark (black), use bright color such as yellow as link color. This will decrease user ad-blindness.
Place your Google Adsense in these positions:
Above the foldAbove the fold is the top position of your page that's visible without your visitor having to scroll down. This is the best location that works for me. I place 336x280 ad unit in this location and it works very well. Why? Okay, back to our example. Your article is about "how to bake delicious bread". Someone finds it from search engine; when he opens it, he first sees ads about "baking school", "baking book" or "bread recipes". Who won't be interested?
In the middle of an article.This works well if your article is long (more than 500 words). People tend to stop for a while and look for something different while they read. I suggest using rectangular ads (125x125, 180x150, 300x250, 336x280, 250x250 ad unit) for this purpose and make it left justified.
At the end of an article.Many people reported that placing Google Adsense ads at the end of their article tends to work very well. This is because when people finish reading an interesting article, they usually think "okay, what's next?" That's your chance! By placing Google Adsense ads at the end of this article, people will spend a minute to read it and then (maybe) click it. For example, you write an article about "how to bake delicious bread". And at the end of it, there are some ads about "bread recipes". Who won't be interested?
Regarding the fourth tip, I don't recommend you placing three ad units in a single page. From my experience, the number of ad unit you place in a single page doesn't affect your CTR. In fact, I even found that placing three text ads in a single page make my ads "unblended". For example, I put 160x600, 468x60 and 336x280 ads on a single page. You know what? My 468x60 ads only showed 3 ads in it, whereas my 336x280 ads only showed 2 ads in it! My suggestion is: use 1 â€“ 2 ad unit and a single link unit on your page (Google allows 3 ad unit and 1 link unit to be placed on a single page).
Always use Link Unit! Many people never realize that Link Unit is the most profitable format if put in the right place. Try to place it near your navigation menu. People will misidentify it as a navigation menu and automatically read it. If your ads are closely relevant to your content, there's big possibility they will click it. I move the top navigation in one of my websites to the bottom section and replace it with 728x15 Link Unit Ads. You know what? My Google Adsense CTR increased by 200%!

2 Surefire Ways To Maximize Your Adsense Earnings

2008-06-22T19:41:00.000-07:00

Posted by John Ugoshowa on: 2007-07-10 23:55:04

Most webmasters know that Adsense generates a sizeable source of additional advertising income. That is why most of them use it to go after high paying keywords. They have with them the lists that tells what the keywords are and have already used various methods of identifying them. And yet, after putting up these supposed-to-be high paying keywords into their pages, the money they expected to come rolling in is not really coming in.
What is it that they are doing wrong? Having the pages is with the proper keywords is one thing. But driving visitors to those pages is another matter and often the factor that is lacking. The thing is, to get visitors to your high paying keyword pages, you need to optimize your site navigation. Stop for a moment and think about how visitors are using your website. After a visitor has landed on a certain page, they have the tendency to click on another page that sounds interesting. They get there because of the other links that appears on a page that they initially landed on. This is site navigation. It is all about enabling visitors to move about your site. And one way of maximizing your Adsense earnings. A typical website have menu links on each page. The wording on these links is what grabs a visitorâ€™s attention and gets them to click on one of the links that will take them to another page of that website. Links that have â€œfreeâ€™ or â€œdownloadâ€ are oftentimes good attention-grabbers. This navigation logic can also be applied to driving traffic to your high paying pages. There are some websites that are getting a lot of traffic from search engines, but have low earnings. The trick is to try and use come cleverly labeled links to get the visitors off that pages and navigate them to the higher earning ones. This is one great way of turning real cheap clicks to real dollars. Before you begin testing if this same style will work for you and you website, you need to have two things. Something to track and compare and some high earning pages you want to funnel your site traffic to. An option is to select a few of your frequently visited pages. This is ensuring fast result to come by. Now, the next thing to do is think of ways to get visitors viewing a particular page to try and click on the link that will take them to your high earning pages. Come up with a catchy description for that link. Come up with a catchy and unique description for the link. Think of something that people do not get to see everyday. That will trigger their curiosity enough to try and see what that was all about. You can also use graphics to grab your readersâ€™ attention. There is no limitation to what you can do to make your link noticeable. If you are after the success of your site, you will do everything it takes just to achieve that goal. Just be creative. As far as many Adsense advertisers are concerned, there are no written and unwritten laws to follow regarding what they write. Just as long as you do not overstep the guidelines of the search engines, then go for it. Also remember that it is all about location, location and location. Once the perfect attention grabbing description has been achieved, you have to identify the perfect spot on your page to position that descriptive link to your high paying page. There is nothing wrong with visiting other websites to see how they are going about maximizing their site navigation. â€œHot pagesâ€ or â€œMost readâ€ lists are very common and overly used already. Get to know the ones that many websites are using and do not try to imitate them. Another way of doing it is to try and use different texts on different pages. That way you will see the ones that work and what does not. Try to mix things around also. Put links on top and sometimes on the bottom too. This is how you go about testing which ones get more clicks and which ones are being ignored. Let the testing begin. Testing and tracking until you find the site navigation style that works best for you site. John Ugoshowa.

Google Adsense Advertising Policies

2008-06-22T19:34:00.000-07:00

Posted by Terry Detty on: 2007-06-21 00:38:55

Google Adsense is a program that allows businesses to advertise on other websites. They business only pays the host website when a consumer clicks on the link to take them to their website. This is a very effective way of advertising because of the millions of people who access the internet every day. It is also a low cost marketing method that businesses of all sizes can benefit from. Websites are eager to host advertisements for other businesses because it doesnâ€™t cost them anything and they earn money for doing it when consumers choose to follow the link from a particular advertisement.
If you are interested in using Google Adsense to advertise then you need to make sure you are aware of their policies. This will make the process smoother for you and eliminate any misunderstandings down the road. This can be a great money maker or advertising tool, but only when it is used correctly.

All ads will be removed from your website within ten days. They also have the right to discontinue your business from the program at any time for not following their policies. You do have the right to file an appeal if your account is canceled. This gives you the opportunity to discuss the situation with a Google Adsense representative. You must be approved by Google Adsense before you are allowed to be a part of the program either as a host site for advertisements or to post your ads. The owner of the website must be at least 18 years of age. The approval process involves an application that you complete with information on your website including keywords. You will have a response to your application within two days. Make sure it is completed entirely or your application will be denied. All communications must take place with Google. This means if you have concerns or issues about an advertisement your business has on a website or about an ad you are hosting on your website everything goes through Google. The two businesses are not to discuss the issue between each other. Google does not guarantee a set amount of clicks or earnings for a host website. It also doesnâ€™t guarantee any increase in traffic or sales for a business.

Any website hosting advertisements that is believed to be involved in Click Fraud will be banned from using the program. If you chose to use Google Adsense to advertise your business, protect it from Click fraud by purchasing Click Fraud software. Google Adsense is a great opportunity for businesses to advertise their products and services on various websites and pay only for the number of consumers who click on the link to go to that businesses website. It is also a great way for a business to make money by hosting advertisements for other businesses. Understanding the policies of Google Adsense will help you determine if the program is right for you. It also helps the program work properly for all those involved in it.

The Death Of Adsense For Web Publishers

2008-06-22T19:29:00.000-07:00

Posted by Brian Casey on: 2006-09-25 23:10:36

For three years tens of thousands of webmasters have been making incomes ranging from a few dollars a month to five figure sums per month â€“ with Googleâ€™s contextual advertising program â€“Adsense.
Indeed many Internet Gurus have made substantial profits by telling people how to monetise their website traffic by putting Adsense on it. Adsense revenues are shared between Google and the Adsense Publisher â€¦ the website owner â€“ up to now a nice cosy and profitable arrangement. Google has always been cautious about revealing the ratio of payout to the publishers for Adsense clicks compared to the amount that the advertiser pays for the Adwords â€¦ but the feeling among Adsense Publishers is that the percentage has been dropping steadily over the past three years â€“ if you are a number cruncher, you may try to interpret the financial data from Google itself here: http://investor.google.com/fin_data.html In the past there was one price for Adword keywords, whether they appeared in Google Search results or as Adsense Ads on individual Adsense Publishers websites â€“ that was fine as an Adsense Publisher might get, say $4 from a click for a $6 Adword â€“ remember nobody knows exactly because Google will not tell! Individual websites that publish Adsense are known as Googleâ€™s content network. On 22 November 2005 Google made a change to their Adwords advertising program - they allowed advertisers to bid different amounts for the Ads that would appear in Google Search results and for the Ads that would appear on individual Adsense Publishers websites. So an advertiser might bid $5 for a click from Google and 5 cent for a click from an Adsense Publisher in the content network â€¦ Ouch if you happen to be that Adsense Publisher! Is it the end of the road for Adsense Publishers? Is there life after Adsense? What can Adsense Publishers do to make up for the drop in revenues? Is it possible to make much more from your website than you were making with Adsense â€“ maybe this was a blessing in disguise!About The Author:Brian Casey is a freelance writer who contributes to various websites and publications. http://homepage.eircom.net/~amaverick/index.htm

Adsense Income Secret to Success

Adsense Income Secrets to Success
Posted by John Sullivan on: 2006-09-25 23:09:16

Adsense sites need planning and work to be successful. If you are thinking of producing sites for adsense income, or perhaps you already have sites that are not producing a good income if any.
To be successful, takes a lot of work no matter what you may read because there are so many people promoting products that promise to make adsense income easy. Well some of these products may help, but there is no simple solution to receiving great income quickly. Extensive planning is required before you start. It is important to carefully consider the topics or niches that will be targeted. It is very important to see what type of competition there is for certain niches. If you are beginning with your adsense sites, it is better to start with niches that are not too competitive. The reasons for this are that in any niche it will take time to get traffic to the sites and make money. Extensive keyword research must be carried out before building new sites. It is far better to target say 20 keywords that are not at the top of the keyword results. Many newcomers make the mistake of seeing the high prices that certain words achieve, but do not realise what is involved to compete with these words. So choose 20 related words to the main keyword, and then build a page for each of these sub keywords. It is very important to have closely themed sites as well, meaning that you are not trying to offer information on a variety of subjects. Search engines are now looking for sites that offer their visitors good quality information following the keyword searches entered. It is also important to have sites that are easy to navigate, so that visitors are able to find what they are looking for easily. Clear navigation linking is essential. Another point to remember is that search engines will reward sites that are constantly updated with new content. It is best to work to a plan with new sites that allow new content to be added on a weekly basis. Incoming links to sites are very important to achieve good rankings in the search engines. There is only so much on site optimisation that can be done. This includes different keywords and descriptions for each page, use of H1, H2, H3 tags etc. It is essential that good quality original content is offered to visitors. Due to the abuse that occurred in the past where many people were using various software to produce hundreds of pages of worthless content in literally a matter of minutes to try to make money with adsense. It is a good idea to work on getting links back to sites on a weekly basis also. Another good idea is to register with directories also on a regular basis. Adsense can be a good source of income, but it involves a lot of work before the results appear. Extensive research must be carried out to check competition. It is vital to do thorough keyword testing. Then produce sites that are closely themed with a separate page for each targeted keyword. Then new content and links must be on the agenda for good adsense results.

Google Adsense Optimization

Google Adsense Optimization Secrets
By: Andrew Johnson, Published: 2005-09-30, Parent Category: Advertising

There are two ways to make more money from your website -- get more traffic or make more money from your existing traffic.
Google's Adsense program provides a great way for you to easily increase your current revenue, even if you already use it there are things you can do to increase your revenue with it.
In this article I am going to show you the methods I've used to double my own clickthrough rates as well as those of other website owners.

What You Can Control:
One of the things that set Adsense apart from other banner ad programs is your ability to customize the code to fit the look of your site, and the wide variety of unit sizes available.
Advertisers write ads which are then shown on your site. As an advertiser I can increase my clickthrough rate by writing good ad copy. This means more targeted prospects visit my site. I then have the opportunity to "convert" them into my customers.
As a publisher I can control the color and placement of advertiser's ads - but I can't control the words. So in that way there is a limit on what kind of optimization I can perform. I can't make advertisers write better ads afterall, luckily though Google is constantly analyzing advertisements and ones that do not get clicked on end up filtered out or shown less often. In the end though color and placement simply draw attention, but it is the words that create the action (the click), and the words aren't under your control.
However, there is an unpublished feature called Google Hints that does give you some control. It does not allow you to edit ads, but it does allow you to give Google help on picking keywords for your site. You aren't supposed to use this feature without permission though.
As far as changing the color and appearance of your ads, don't worry, you don't need permission to do that. In fact Google encourages publishers to experiment to find the best placement. After several months as a publisher Google mailed me a little book which gave tips on increasing my clickthrough rates. You can visit Google's website to see an illustrated heat map whichs shows the best places for you to put Adsense ads.

How to perform Adsense Optimization:

There are two different "theories" on how to place your Adsense code. One says blend it into your site, the other says make it stick out. My own experience has shown you need to blend it in but make it visible. By that I mean that you should blend your ads in enough so that they do not look like banners (which people tend to gloss over) but yet you don't want the ad to be too hard to see that no one clicks on it.
What approach do you take when building a new website? Do you create a nice layout and leave extra space for a few banner ads? This is the wrong way to do it. It is critical to think about Adsense when designing your website. If you want to maximize your earnings you can't just make a fancy design and plop the Adsense code in as an afterthought. By planning ahead you can insure maximum placement effectiveness. I specifically made a recent site with Adsense in mind. The result? Earnings 5 times higher than what I had predicted them to be.
So how is a website designed around Adsense? Match Adsense's font - that includes the size and color. Get rid of the CSS mouseovers on your links and make them plain and boring -- like Adsense. Also think about placement as you build the site.

Five General Tips

General Tips

In the spirit of the new rush for resolutions, well not really THAT new, I've decided to compile a list of 10 things that every Google Adsense publisher should do in the new year. Take this list to the heart and keep it in mind as you check your website for compliance. Each of these tips should only serve to improve your Google Adsense earnings. Nothing more nothing less. Here we go:

1.Subscribe to the All About Google Adsense feed.No joke this should come first as you can't afford to keep up with new developments in the Google Adsense world. New techniques, new ways to increase your earnings and much more.
2.Next make sure to check on your Google Adsense earnings at least once a day.This is no problem for the majority of Adsense publishers but the few that barely notice they even have Google Adsense ads on their website until the check shows up in the mail need to be more careful. These people are probably the highest earners and take things for granted. This leads to them noticing a problem way too late and losing that precious moola. Once a day isn't too much and should serve to remind you that maybe you should improve up on those earnings by trying something new. All these are added benefits nothing more nothing less.
3.Check your Adsense account a little less. This should number one for most Adsense publishers.Most of these people have a Firefox extension that shows them the current earnings. This is a good solution if all you can think about doing when you get home is jump on your computer and check your Google Adsense earnings. Most of these people need to realize that if they spent half as much time trying new ways to increase their earnings as they spend worrying about their earnings they probably would be making way more money. It's a good thing that you are so dedicated to your earnings now go out there and use it to your advantage.
4.Spend more time developing other factors that affect your Google Adsense earnings.It's not just about placement of your ads but much more about how many people see them on a daily basis. Increase the traffic to your website and you'll probably see a rise in your earnings. Now this is common sense but more and more people spend time changing their ads to see if they can entice more of their users to click them. Focus on other factors such as SEO and overall usability of your website.
5.And last but not least remember to keep your Adsense info up to date.I am guilty of this one myself. When I moved to Florida I completely forgot to change my address. Funny thing is I changed it in just about every other online program I was participating in. The fact that I've been in Google Adsense for so long made me forget that it's just like any other program. So keep your info up to date especially your tax info.

Increase Adsense Revenue

How to Increase Your Adsense Revenue?

If you're a webmaster, you've probably heard about Google's Adsense. Perhaps you're even earning from it already. This article will show you a method to increase your Adsense revenue dramatically.
Google's Adsense allows webmasters to place links from Google's Adwords advertisers on their webpages by inserting a special code. When a visitor clicked on a link, the webmaster gets a cut of the profit Google made from the advertiser. The unique feature about Adsense is that the links it generates on your webpage are relevant to your page content. Thus, your keywords and topics become very important determinant for the type of links that will appear on your webpage.
There are only two factors that determine how much a webmaster can make from Adsense. The first factor is the number of visitors who click on the links. The more people who clicked on the links, the more you make. Naturally, this means that the more targetted traffic to the website, the more you'll make. This is where most webmasters focus their efforts on.
The second factor is the value of the links they clicked on. Here's where you can make a great difference to your earnings from Adsense and is our focus in this article.
Let's take a look at how this works:
Suppose you have 1000 visitors to your website and you get 2% conversion, that is 20 people clicked on your Adsense links. Let's assume that your Adsense links pay you only 50 cents per click. So you earn $10 dollars.
Now let's see how much this same traffic will make for you if your Adsense links pay you $5 per click. For the same number of clicks, you make $100 dollars. That's a ten-fold increased in revenue!
Well, that makes sense, you said, but how am going to determine what type of links appear on my webpages?
Good questions!
Here's where you'll need to do a little research and here's a tool to help you do just that.
Go over to http://www.pixelfast.com/overture/ and you'll get a tool that shows you how much each keyword is worth. While this tool is for Overture's keywords, we can safely assume that this reflects the keyword values for Googles Adwords as well. Once you've found the keywords with high monetary values, you can optimize your webpages for them. This will increase your chances of having these high value keyword links appearing on your webpages.
Some people have actually made extensive researches on Google's top paying keywords and found that one or two keywords are worth almost $100! However, generally most keywords are valued at between 50 cents and $5 dollars. Some keywords like "internet marketing" may fetch up to $7 dollars and "mortgage" pays up to $10 dollars.
These values may change from time to time but they generally hover around these levels. Naturally, this information is priceless and you'll have to pay to get it. I feel it is worth every cent you paid for it. You can check it out at http://theselfimprovementsite.com/links/top-paying-keywords.html.

And there you have it! A single factor that can radically increase your Adsense revenue
