As I said on my previous post, having a Google AdSense site is a great way to make money. And to create an AdSense site, all you have to do is have a Google AdSense account (which is free), a website or a blog (which is free), and some articles (which are free if you write them yourself). Once you get your site up and running, the AdSense ads will be targeted to your content.
Therefore, those looking for your content will come by, read your articles, and have a high probability of being interested in the targeted ads. Every time someone clicks an ad, you get paid! That is, as long as you have designed your site to maximize AdSense clickthroughs (CTR) !
Let’s look at seven tips for creating AdSense sites that create money.
1. Keyword Density
Before you place ads on your site, be sure your keyword density is good. You will want to be sure that the right kinds of ads are placed on your site. A free way to determine what the ads will look like on your site is to go to this site and type in your keywords. You will then be able to see exactly what ads would show on your site.
If you don’t like what you see, then you know that you need to make changes to your keywords! You can get keyword suggestions from Results Generator from Overture or from the free trial version of Word Tracker.
2. Focused
Not only will the ads be based on your keywords, but they will also be based on your content. You definitely want your keywords and your content to match as closely as possible.
3. Write Often
The more information you have the better. Why? Because the more content you have, the more visitors you get. Many people suggest that you write a new article every day since no one wants to come back to your site to find the same old messages!
4. Choose The Right Format
AdSense allows you to choose many different ad formats. Research has shown that wider ads are more successful. The top three formats are:
- 336×280 large rectangle
- 300×250 medium rectangle
- 160×600 wide skyscraper
Additionally, the 468×15 horizontal ad link under the navigation bar is also a good bet.
5. Color Counts
You have the option to create a Google AdSense ad in any color of your choice. The best thing to do is to make your ad blend well with your site color scheme. You should make the border color and the background color the same color as your web site. You will want your text color to either be black or the color of your main content.
When creating your Google AdSense ads it is recommended to use the color scheme and style of your website so that the ads blend in well. Ads without background color and borders perfom better than ads within borders with background color.
6. Position Counts, Too
It is well known that visitors to a website scan the site to determine if it is worth reading. You definitely want them to see and scan your AdSense ads. Therefore, the best place to put them is in the top left part of your page or directly under your headlines.
7. Increase The Number
AdSense allows you to use up to three AdSense units on a page, two AdSense search boxes, and one unit of ad links. Using all that you can increases the chances of earning money.
Keep these seven tips in mind when creating your AdSense site and you will find that your clickthrough rates increase, thus increasing your money making potential.
Google’s Adsense is making a huge impact for website owners both large and small. To put it simply, if you own a website, and are accepted by Google, then you can make money with Google Adsense straight away. Most website owners earn enough revenue to not only cover their hosting costs, but to make a nice additional income as well.
So what is Adsense? Basically, when you have signed up for their program, Google will provide relevant ads that are closely chosen to match the content on your pages. There are a wide range of banner and button sizes to choose from, as well as choosing colours and backgrounds to blend into your site.
By pasting the code into your templates and pages, you can concentrate on providing quality content for your website, whilst Google does the hard work of finding the best ads to use in your pages, and you can make money.
You are still permitted to use Google Adsense ads on your site, even if you already have affiliate links. It is not allowed to imitate the look and feel of the Google ads for your affiliate links, however. One of the things you can do though, is to use Google’s palette facility to customize your Google ads and make them appear as part of the web page itself. The idea behind this, is to match the background and links of the ads to the theme of your site. Most people surfing quickly click on a link that is blue, and if the Google ads have the same theme, it makes them seem to be a portion of your “content.”
Even if you run many sites, you need only apply once to the Google Adsense program. Once accepted, you are given a unique “publisher ID”, which you can use on any site you own. By cutting and pasting a small Javascript code into your site in the location you wish the ads to appear in, your job is over, and Google’s begins!.
Google ads are very easy to customize, and as you can place them anywhere on your site, you can experiment with their position, colour, and theme. It really pays (literally!!) to experiment with their placement and design so as to optimize the amount of revenue that you can generate from each page..
And now the good bit - Payment! The payment rates can vary enormously. The payment you receive per click depends on how much advertisers are willing to pay per click to advertise with the use of the AdWords.
Advertisers can pay as little as 4 pence and as much as10-12 pounds, and occasionally, sometimes even more. You, as the ad publisher, earn a share of the money generated.
Assuming that your website has great content, and many visitors, experimentation with the placement of google ads is the key to your success. If your results are stagnant, it can help if you try and simplify your pages so that the ads can catch the visitor’s eye. Also, it can sometimes pay to differ from the methods that other people are using. Google has many tutorials on their Adsense site, including a “heat chart” which shows you where the best placement for ads are. You will need an account to access these tutorials.

For the beginner, It is wiser to look at other people’s websites and format your Adsense in a like manner. An old business saying is to “find a good business model, and then copy it.” Initially, let others do the hard work for you, and learn from a successful site. Look at sites which have a high page rank, and observe the layouts, content, and placement of their ads. A little time spent doing research can put pounds in your pocket later.
Publishers have the option of choosing to have their ads displayed on only certain sites if they wish. You can also have them displayed on a large network of sites if you so desire. Google now has the option to allow other people to advertise on your site. This only makes good sense. If you are marketing to a tightly defined niche, you can place your own ads, written by you, on site that allow this option. The choice is yours, depending on what you think will work best to your advantage.
As we know, many bloggers try to get money from their blogs with joining some affiliate and ppc programs. The most famous is Google Adsense. If you're beginner for this program, I'm sure these free 3 ebooks can help you.
