If webmasters want to monetize their websites, the great way to do it is through Adsense. There are lots of webmasters struggling hard to earn some good money a day through their sites. But then some of the “geniuses” of them are enjoying hundreds of dollars a day from adsense ads on their websites. What makes these webmasters different from the other kind is that they are different and they think out of the box.
The ones who have been there and done it have quite some useful tips to help those who would want to venture into this field. Some of these tips have boosted quite a lot of earnings in the past and is continuously doing so.
Here are some 5 proven ways on how best to improve your Adsense earnings.
1. Concentrating on one format of Adsense ad. The one format that worked well for the majority is the Large Rectangle (336X280). This same format have the tendency to result in higher CTR, or the click-through rates. Why choose this format out of the many you can use? Basically because the ads will look like normal web links, and people, being used to clicking on them, click these types of links. They may or may not know they are clicking on your Adsense but as long as there are clicks, then it will all be for your advantage.
2. Create a custom palette for your ads. Choose a color that will go well with the background of your site. If your site has a white background, try to use white as the color of your ad border and background. The idea to patterning the colors is to make the Adsense look like it is part of the web pages. Again, This will result to more clicks from people visiting your site.
3. Remove the Adsense from the bottom pages of your site and put them at the top. Do not try to hide your Adsense. Put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between Adsense locations can make when you see your earnings.
4. Maintain links to relevant websites. If you think some sites are better off than the others, put your ads there and try to maintaining and managing them. If there is already lots of Adsense put into that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way visitor will see your ads first upon browsing into that site.
5. Try to automate the insertion of your Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your Adsense code in a text file, save it as “adsense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.
These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. It is important to know though that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. So focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already.
Note also that there are many other adsense sharing the same topic as you. It is best to think of making a good ad that will be somewhat different and unique than the ones already done. Every clickthrough that visitors make is a point for you so make every click count by making your Adsense something that people will definitely click on.
Tips given by those who have boosted their earnings are just guidelines they want to share with others. If they have somehow worked wonders to some, maybe it can work wonders for you too. Try them out into your ads and see the result it will bring.
If others have done it, there is nothing wrong trying it out for yourself.
anyone out there know how you could track where a user is heading from my site?
For instance if they click on an adsense ad I want to be able to track their sessionid.
I am using
to execute and call a server side function but I cannot seem to find the path they are headed.
I realize that for all my links I could put a onclick event and track it before the redirect, but I dont want to mess with the google ads, I just want to know if they were clicked.
Also I have a div around the entire google ad which has an onclick event, but still the entire div is not a link and the user could just sit and click without actually redirecting.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Unfortunately, because the Google Ads are being added to the DOM outside the ASP.NET server-side calls, you can’t capture what ad link is being clicked, the user making the click, etc. via ASP.NET.
You could do that yourself, however, in JavaScript; because of the way it works, you can hijack /wrap the functions in http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js
Google Adsense the Real Key in Success With Adsense
If you’re just boarding on the Adsense train, and looking to find a quick way to make the profits you’ve seen all being pulled of all over the Internet, you might be interested in a couple of tools.
These software tools are designed to aid adsense publishers in getting a better understanding on how traffic flows through their site. for more detail go to:www.adsense-dollar-factory.com.Some will help you in understanding which keywords gain you more money and which locations give you the best adsense payment.
One of the best such tools available is Adsense Gold which allows you to have a better understanding of which ads and formats actually get more clicks and which are useful or nearly useless.
This program works by tracking views and clicks on all the publisher’s pages. It even goes as far as offering you the possibility to see which referrer each visitor came in through.
There’s a free tool called Shyness which is more of an Adsense monitoring tool. This sits in the tray and offers actualized Adsense stats as you hover your mouse over its icon. It’s a very nice tool for those which like to be informed on how their Adsense is doing at all times of the day.
Google provides you with stats in a CSV format on their site. So someone made a tool that can automatically download such files and extract a lot of information from them. The name of this tool is CSV Ad Stats.
It has a large number of features, including the possibility to highly customize reported stats, exporting data and charts to other formats. It’s in French but the language can very easily be changed to English.
Of course any tool can only access these stats as often as 15 minutes but the authors are well aware of that fact and none of these tools will get you in trouble with Google because of that.
If, however, you’re browsing content most of the time, and your tool of choice is the Firefox Internet browser, there’s an extension for this program that allows you to view the stats in your status bar. So as you can see, software developers are making more and more programs meant to help you in your quest to maximize your Adsense profits. For more detail go to: www.instant-adsense-dollars.com. But before you go out looking for them remember that Google has a few features of its own as well.
It does offer some reports (albeit a bit more limited) and using the ‘channels’ feature is a good way of finding out which ads on your site are really bringing in most of the revenue.
This is the first article marketing tip of three. If you want to beat the competition and bank the big bucks from writing articles you need to look at three areas: headline, body and resource box (or call-to-action).
So let’s get going with your article headline – which if you look around at the competition, usually stinks!
What’s the purpose of your article headline? To get someone to read the article of course. So you need to throw out a hook there with some nice juicy bait on it that someone’s going to bite on. Your article will not usually appear on its own. It’ll be with lots of other articles or it’ll be in a list of search engine results. Folks will have lots of choice, why click yours?
You only get one chance to make a first impression. You have seconds to grab those eyeballs or click, they’re gone.
To get that vital click your headline must either offer something that the others don’t – like a secret this, or a promise of that – or startle people into taking action. Give them a bit of a shock. Good shock, bad shock, doesn’t matter. Just get that click!
That’s why this article marketing tip starts “Your Headline Stinks!”
It could have started “How To Write Good Headlines” – but how dull is that? How about “Good Headlines Are Important”. Doesn’t really get you going, does it.
What about “Your Headlines Cost You Money”. There’s an example of something else we can use – fear. Fear of loss, fear of looking stupid. Fear is a great motivator.
Of course we also want to make sure we rank well for the phrase or market we’re targeting, hence “Article Marketing Tip”. Let’s not be shy here – we need to tell people what they’re getting. Two part headlines work usually well.
Another article headline tip that you’ll see a lot is lists. People love lists. 7 secret success thingies. 5 ways to a better something-or-other. Top 10 winning web articles. Usually odd numbers work best (with the exception of 10). Don’t ask me why, I’m no psychologist I just use what works.
The final important part of this article writing tip is to monitor your results. Directories will give you statistics – so use them. Try different styles of headline and see how they appeal to your market. Some won’t take to shocks, some will take to you being surprisingly blunt. Test and monitor – it’s a golden rule of anything you do to make money online.
Next article marketing tip coming soon. Headline will be – now that’s a great body!
So much for empowerment – a lousy example for kids?
I know that “girl power” wasn’t reallly anything other than a cynical marketing technique for the Spice Morons, but since when did female empowerment involve shacking up with a convicted thug and woman basher??
Things you should not do with your Google adsense.
There is no question that you can make some good money with Google AdSense, but you are setting yourself up for disaster if you make any of these Top 10 mistakes!
1. Do not use fake information when opening your Google AdSense account.
Google says that is a no-no and they will cut your account off and keep all the money you may have earned. Besides, trying to hide your identity can cause serious problems with the I.R.S. or whoever your tax authority is.
2. Do not hack or modify Google AdSense code other than to change the parameters that Google authorizes you to change.
Any attempt to bypass Google’s built-in algorithms not only poses a danger to the integrity of the network, but it threatens the financial model under which Google operates You are not dealing with some Mom-and-Pop company here, and Google has the legal muscle and deep enough pockets to drag you through every court in the land if you damage their business with your hacking antics.
3. Keep adsense ads off your registration, confirmation, and all “thank you” pages.
Do not ask me why you cannot put your ads there. It makes sense to me that those would be wonderful locations. Google thinks otherwise, however, and doing so is a hanging offense according to their Terms of Service.
4. Do not display AdSense ads and a competitor’s ads (like Overture’s) on the same page at the same time.
That just makes plain good sense. Google does not demand 100% SITE loyalty from you, but they do insist that their own ads not be cluttered up by offerings from their competitors.
5. Don’t “beg for clicks” or provide any incentive for clicking on your Google AdSense ads.
This is a biggie and you see this rule violated all the time. Any of the “get paid to do stuff” sites that put Google ads in the member’s control panels are walking the plank and they do not even realize it. Even those sites with the polite little messages asking you to “help keep my site running by clicking on our sponsor’s ads” are asking to be cut off if those happen to be Google ads.
6. Never click on the ads running on your own site, even if you are genuinely interested in the product or service and are thinking of buying it!
Nothing screams FRAUD louder than a webmaster running up his or her own click counts by happily clicking on ads from their own site. The Google Gods can track this activity and it will not be long until you find yourself getting a goodbye note from their fraud team.
7. No misleading labeling
Google is very specific about what text can be placed around their ads. Their Terms of Service state: “Publishers may not label the ads with text other than ‘sponsored links’ or ‘advertisements.’ This includes any text directly above our ads that could be confused with, or attempt to be associated with Google ads.”
This is to keep visitors from becoming confused and barking up Google’s tree, when they clicked on an ad that led to a porn site instead of the recipe site they were expecting to visit.
8. Avoid keyword spamming and other divisive tricks
You may be tempted to buy one of those “generates thousands of key-word rich pages in seconds” programs that are so popular these days but I will tell you this: Their days are numbered. Google is wise to such shenanigans and they will be hot on your trail. Other prohibited gimmicks include:
o”Sneaky” page redirects that send a visitor off to a different site then they were expecting to visit.
o Multiple sites, domains, pages, etc., which have duplicate content.
o Hidden text or links of any type.
o Excessive outbound links on any page. Google recommends no more than 100. I would keep it way below that.
o And here is a nugget of wisdom straight from Google’s mouth: “Do not participate in link schemes designed to increase your site’s ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or “bad neighborhoods” on the web as your website may be affected adversely by those links.
9. Don’t advertise anything on Google’s prohibited items list.
It’s a lot shorter lists than PayPal’s or eBay’s, but it includes a lot of the same stuff like hacking/cracking content, porn, illegal drugs, gambling sites, beer or hard alcohol (I guess wine is OK), weapons, and the other usual stuff.
10. And the 10th dumbest thing NOT to do with Google AdSense is to let the other nine things stop you from running an honest site that’s designed to make the most out of this very profitable opportunity that Google offers!

how can i increase my google page rank for my blog iamansar.blogspot.com?please give me quality suggestions?
i created a new blog iamansar.blogspot.com. when i tried to add google adsense or any income creating sites like sponsoredreviews.com,reviewme.com.but all kicked me out saying that i have google page rank 0.please help me out how to create page rank and also any opportunities to earn money with new blog..
waiting for yours quality suggestions..please help me out..please..
You can increase your pagerank by getting good quality links towards your website, coming from webpages with a high pagerank. The age of your domain is also important, and preferably you have your own domainname, not a free one like blogspot, but that’s no showstopper. You can read more about Pagerank here: http://www.icantinternet.org/2008/03/whats-this-pagerank-pr-all-about-3/
Now, to get you started with the adsense program, you do not need a high PR website, just go straight to Google’s adsense (http://www.google.com/adsense), and request an account. They will review your website, mostly on the content, if it is according their terms of service. Once you are approved, you can put adsense on your blog and start earning. To increase your earnings, you can check out the articles here: http://www.icantinternet.org/2008/03/google-adsense-tips/
Don’t believe all these get-rich-with-adsense-overnight systems, they are scam, frauds. You can earn money through adsense, but it takes work.

adsense help? not getting money when there are 21 clicks?
i have 21 clicks today and my payment for the day still registers as $0.00
i dont know if this helps, but the page ctr is 700%
and ecpm is 0%
i dont know what happned but it should be $1.47
700% Click through rate is VERY SUSPICIOUS — and I think that Google also thinks so. That’s why they are not giving you any credit for your clicks. And your numbers show that you are not even careful of the “suspicious activity” because your numbers are just way off the roof
I would be very careful in generating invalid clicks — e.g. clicking on your own ads, having your friends click on your own ads, asking visitors to click on own ads — because Google Adsense is quick to terminate and kick out publishers for cheating.
