More Hints for Adsense

After surfing for some days, I found out some more hints for you to make more money from Google Adsense. Enjoy them!

1. if you have high EPC pages and low EPC pages remove adsense from low EPC pages. This will make your site less predictable and more interesting to the users.

2. advertise your high EPC pages with link on the low epc pages

3. split long pages into several smaller pages with one ad block on each page. Optimize for slightly different keywords (within subject) on pages.

4. READ THE ADSENSE TERMS & CONDIDTIONS AND THE HELP PAGES FROM COVER TO COVER and then don’t rely on answers from others when you are unsure about borderline issues, ask Google directly as they are the only ones that can give you a definitive answer that won’t get your site banned.

5. Mix advertising and content. This stops visitors from getting ad blindness

6. Don’t play with the adsense code.

7. Put keyword relevant images above or beside your ads, so they are lined up properly (Google allows this).

8. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Try to replace your google ads with affiliate ads over time. The greater the number of affiliates you use, the less chance that losing one will harm your overall income. That’s the biggest risk with Adsense. Look to see what ads are appearing on a page and being clicked through often (using channels), then find an affiliate program similar to that ad (you can use the same ad copy!). This is a lot of work, but sooo worth the insurance, and probably the extra income in the long run.

9. Make your pages validate. Otherwise you may find that one syntax error means that the spider ignores vast chunks of content, resulting in poor targetting.

10. Force yourself to take a break very now and again. Don’t take it so seriously and don’t expect it to pay the bills or the mortgage, for example. Walk away and do something else for a while - maybe a couple of weeks. Then come back with fresh eyes and try again.

11. Serve the user. If your site has intrinsic value, users will come back, and you’ll earn far more than you would from a single visit. (You’ll also benefit from word of mouth and unsolicited links from other sites.)

12. Be fair to advertisers. If you try to artificially boost your clickthrough rate by disguising ads as content or overwhelming the visitor with ads, your clicks won’t convert well for advertisers. This may result in higher “smart pricing” discounts for your clicks (meaning less money for you), and you’ll be a poor candidate for site-targeted CPM ads.

13. Think long-term. Ask yourself what will happen if you’re dropped by AdSense, if advertisers get more control over where their ads appear, if “smart pricing” becomes more aggressive in cutting revenues for sites whose clicks don’t convert, or if other changes affect the status quo. It’s tempting to go for the quick and easy money, but unless you have the technical and business smarts to earn a lot of money that way, you’ll probably be better off with content that can earn revenue in multiple ways over the long haul.

14. Watch your server logs - I have noticed that sometimes I will just mention something in an article for one sentence that brings in a lot of visitors so I go and write an entire article on that subject. The results have been stellar. You’ve been given a big hint that people are interested in this and if you ignore it you are missing a big opportunity. I have more than a few articles that have been linked to all over the web because they are almost the only decent material on this subject.

15. Don’t fret too much when your income and/or traffic are low for a few days. These peaks and valleys are normal but you should still investigate the matter to see what factors could be causing this like an algorythm update.

16. Use proper grammar and spelling so that your articles are professional. Use bullet points and bold headings for sections.

17. Write content that is as specific as possible. Don’t write an article that is super long unless it is necessary. If you can break it up if it seems logical to do so.

18. Create sequentially related content spanning multiple related pages and encourage visitor flow.

19. Have patience. You may have good ideas that won’t even start to pay for six months from now.Use good title and description tags, plus Urls that look static even on a dynamic site. Helpful not just for Adsense, but to get search engine traffic as well.

20. Read the terms Read the policies Never EVER click your own ads and TEST, TEST and TEST
