How to Increase AdSense Earnings - Simple Tips

Google Adsense program is a fast and simple way for publishers to monetize their web site traffic.

Surely the amount of profits depends on how much the advertisers are willing to pay in this niche. But even within the same niche you can do special steps to make more money with Google AdSense program.

Better focus on one topic per page.

By doing this you help Google to define the topic of this page and choose the ads of better relevancy. The better relevancy, the more clicks you are likely to get.

Use white space around your ad.

Perhaps, this is more of an issue of the psychology of the eye work, but by doing that you make your ad stand out from the rest of your page and visitors spot the ads better.

Play with the colors.

No big science, but you can try 2 approaches: either make ads look like the rest of the site or make them stand out of the site visual color scheme. You will see what works better with your visitors.

Test ad placement.

Today Google AdSense has a truly great feature of channeling each ad separately. Channeling provides separate reporting on each unit, which gives you a tremendous chance to see what ad on what page and in what part of the page is giving you more money.

That is why - test, test and test. Vertical and horizontal, large and small, fading colors and colors that stand out of the line.

Very soon you will come up to the ads placement that is ideal in terms of making more money with Google AdSense program.

How to Avoid Getting AdSense Account Terminated

We have already published a post on this blog where explained part of the reasons for Google account to get terminated and how you can fight it.

However the list of difficulties is not over and we continue sharing tips about what cause the account to get closed and practical recommendations about how to avoid it.

Hidden texts.

Don't use them, this is not wise and Google is very angry when you hide the texts from visitors, trying to cheat the bots with that. We are not going to prove here that this strategy is giving no SEO value these days - just take it by default that it is not working and can get the account closed.

Page cloaking.

Page cloaking works like this: special program serves the robots of search engines with special optimized page and visitors see absolutely another page. This strategy is also a big no-no with Google. Maybe they will not catch you from the very beginning and you can survive for a week or month or year. But then your account will be closed and, maybe, the site gets kicked off from the Google index.

Link farms.

This is a disputable issue because some Internet marketers gave examples of link farms that are "blessed" by Google and purchase of backlinks from that farms does no harm. However, you do not know for sure if this or that link farm is ok for Google. It is even more fair to say that most of the link farms are hated by Google.

That is why getting backlinks from the link farms is a sure way to get problems with Google, get a site or blog de-indexed and even AdSense account terminated.

Doorways.

Doorways are close to cloaking pages, but with one difference. Doorway is a keyword optimized page that later on sends a visitor to a "normal" page. There have been times when doorways worked and worked pretty nice, and that is why Google started to fight them.

That is why no to doorways. Doorway as a notion has very bad reputation in Google's eyes.

Avoid these strategies and your chances to get site de-listed from index and AdSense account closed will get down to minimum.

Google Adsense - Simple Tips and Tricks

The key to success with Adsense ads is to put the ads into the nicely clickable spots and deliver as much targeted traffic to these pages as possible.

How to find a balance between giving away traffic (people who click ads go away from your site or blog) and being happy about it?

First of all you should take into account this simple tip.

Adsense links (link units) are not getting that much clicks. That is why if you place these link units on the pages were you'd like visitors to do other things (not click the link units) - you will increase the conversions of downloading some free stuff, or signing up for the course, or clicking the affiliate link buried in the text. So, the link units are good as 'scare off' to make visitors do the stuff that you want.

2nd tier in AdSense program. Well, Google is not offering this feature, but you can.

For example, content writers who deliver content to this blog can also recruit other writers and they will receive part of the profits that referred authors will generate here.

Everybody happy!

As long as this blog is alive and receives traffic, the author of the content published here will get part of the AdSense impressions on the page where his/her content is published. Which means that every article published here becomes an independent source of profit. And the author should not worry about promoting the blog and getting traffic to it, because this is the duty of the blog owners.
