Mistakes made in adsense due to web designing

Most of the people happen to commit simple mistakes with PPC campaign and landing page design, which further lead to serious trouble. Thus, understanding the commonly committed mistakes with PPC campaign and landing page designs should further help avoiding them. Here are a few PPC campaigning and landing page mistakes that most make.

Mismatched URL and the website topic for user inquiry

Many try to create one-stop-shop page for group of leads so as to build links and getting high rank naturally. It is perfect only if the topic is narrow. However, if you are having visitors coming from relative field and not the same fields, it is very much important for considering that you might lose some PPC conversions than gaining in the natural search by getting mismatched type of URL and the landing page focus if compared to terms that you are possibly targeting.

Call to action:

Call to action remains most important at any landing page. So why should you consider hiding it below fold, chances are you will be losing as many as 30 percent of visitors.

Collection of unnecessary data:

Each piece of data that you will be collecting for the landing page would mean smaller number submissions. It is best to collect just the data that is required instead of collecting redundant or the unwanted data, as you will be incurring unnecessary expenditure.

Lot of call to action:

One or at the most two call to action at the landing page is thought to be ideal. You might want the users to sign up for the newsletter, send fax, call you, and sign up for RSS feed. However, doing so could create bewilderment and paradox of choice amongst the visitors.

PPC not directed to the landing page:

This is the most commonly incurred mistakes. In case, you have created a landing-page but the PPC campaign fails to direct the users directly to the landing page then, your money is gone waste. If you are going to invest some money to convert through the landing page then, do not commit a mistake of making the visitors work hard for finding it.

Call to action not very obvious or distinguished:

Think that PPC campaign and the landing-page are combined to get more number of people to just complete a single action. Now you are in perfect mentality, it will be not wise to leave call to action key not distinguished. Using unlike designing element or arrow is certain to attract the visitors.

Using video, Flash and other 'plug-in' needed designs:

Those clicking on the PPC links do not belong to the group of sophisticated users. Thus, running of landing page that needs plug-in is a great way for cutting down on conversions. For instance, an individual using Pentium II certainly cannot view easy or complete the call to action procedure, it being complex.

Being cheap to target the top terms:

You need not spend a great deal of money for each click in order to capture the long tail industry terms. However, people happen to limp in the PPC campaigns with just a couple of dollars and then end up bidding cheap keywords that would no good to them. Spending few more cents on each visitor is ideal for ensuring some good results from the PPC campaign.

Topics which works perfect for adsense

Prominent in all AdSense newbie's mind is money. It's all about how much they're going to make and how quickly they're going to make it. This is the completely wrong approach to take towards AdSense, however, it is useful to know what kind of keywords gets the highest paying ads and what kind of topics are the most profitable.

During the process of planning an AdSense website it is essential to have all the necessary information at hand and it is important to have a good understanding of Google AdSense. AdSense is essentially the most popular Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising scheme on the web. By applying through Google you get subject related ads delivered to your site, which make you money a little money every time they are clicked.

So if you are aiming to create a website solely to make money using AdSense it is essential to know which topics are likely to make you the most money. But be warned... knowing this doesn't necessarily mean that they will make you money but more about this later.

There are many lists on the web displaying some of the highest paid AdSense keywords. Here's a compilation of some of the best lists showing the highest paying AdSense keywords:

Selling structured settlements - $64.81 (CPC)
Cash for structured settlements - $63.87 (CPC)
Auto insurance quotes Florida - $62.57 (CPC)
Auto insurance quotes California - $57.01 (CPC)
Consolidate school loans - $45.94 (CPC)
Mesothelioma Lawyers - $45.48 (CPC)
Best home equity loans - $45.14 (CPC)
*(CPC) Cost-Per-Click

We can see from this list some of the highest paying keywords are highly specific for subject and location. If you have no knowledge of selling structured settlements you are not going to have much success building a website based on the subject. Also it's highly unlikely that you will get these types of ads anyway, as most of them are only delivered to websites from certain to countries and regions. But the list does give you an indication of the type of keywords that get the highest paying ads.

There's another list showing the most profitable AdSense topics. These are general topics that get reasonable well paid ads but also gets much more clicks. They are sought after, popular topics that are more likely to get clicked rather than the specific ads of the highest paying keywords. Here's a list of the most profitable AdSense topics:

Insurance - $17.41(CPC), 49,893(Clicks/Day), $868,645(Cost/Day)

Hotels - $03.52(CPC), 200,636 (Clicks/Day), $706238(Cost/Day)

Films - $02.88(CPC), 183,044(Clicks/Day), $527,166(Cost/Day)

Home - $03.89(CPC), 102,282(Clicks/Day), $397,878(Cost/Day)

Cars - $05.09(CPC), 52,069(Clicks/Day), $265,033(Cost/Day)

Schools - $04.13(CPC), 60,913(Clicks/Day), $251,570(Cost/Day)

Credit - $08.67(CPC), 25,705(Clicks/Day), $222,862(Cost/Day)

Software - $03.23(CPC), 61,259(Clicks/Day), $197,868(Cost/Day)

Mortgage - $13.03(CPC), 12,172(Clicks/Day), $158,601(Cost/Day)

But what can we do with these lists? What do they really tell us?

The lists tells us that some Google AdSense ads pay very well per click but those that pay the most tend to be very specific and specialized. It also tells us that there are more general topics that are more profitable due to their popularity. But what it doesn't tell you about is the competition within these topics.

Having an idea of the competition is crucial for anyone hoping to make the best out of AdSense. This is because the essence of AdSense success is website traffic. Everyone with a vested interest in a particular topic is vying for every available traffic related to that theme. The more traffic you have going through your site, the more clicks you will get on your AdSense ads.

The problem with the list is that all the topics are already extremely saturated. There's a lot of competition within the topics for the best keywords and each topic has more than tens of thousands of sites already catering for them.

So even though insurance related sites get on average more than 49,000 clicks per day, these clicks are already shared out among the best established websites. If you decide to make an insurance related site you can only hope to get small amounts of residual traffic going through it. Insufficient amounts to make any decent money using AdSense.

There is a small benefit, however, in having these lists. It is possible through some hard work to pry out some truly lucrative AdSense niche keywords and themes within some of these general topics. If you have the patience, know-how and will you could discover some small gems contained within any one of these, popular general topics.
Knowing the most profitable AdSense topics doesn't mean that you will necessarily make money off them. It is possible, but extremely difficult to do so. For your site to draw adequate amounts of traffic it has to be unique, brilliant and very well marketed. It would probably have to be based on a niche theme within one of these topics and that would require days, if not weeks of initial research and planning.

To make the most out of AdSense, forget these lists. In many ways they are nothing more than distractions, fueling the profit seeking aspect of an AdSense venture and potentially destroying any possibility of success. The best AdSense sites are those that contain quality content-rich material that are created by passionate webmasters. Not those seeking quick AdSense riches.

Chitika Optimization Tips

1. Chitika Forums and Moderators. If you have any questions do not hesitate to post questions at the Chitika forum. Give them a few hours to a day and they will have the answer. Ryan is a very patient and enthusiastic moderator who loves gadget sites.

2. Most Successful Websites. The most successful with Chitika are about products and product reviews.

3. Best Pages to Optimize. Spend the most time optimizing the pages that get the most traffic.

4. Best Chitika Ad Position. The best placement for Chitika ads is below the page main content/ blog post and above the user comments. This is a logical place for the ad. Once the user finishes reading the item content or blog post they can then click on the ad to buy or learn more.

5. Optimizing the Bottom of the Page. A great area to place Chitika Ads is the bottom of the page. If a visitor gets to the bottom of the page and they have not found what they are looking for then the Chitika ad may be just the ticket. If you place ads at the bottom, the optimal arrangement is an eMiniMall then directly below that place an RPU unit. Most clicks will be on the eMiniMall but just in case the eMiniMall is not what the user was looking for then one of the related products may catch their eye, giving you a second chance for a Chitika Ad click.

6. Do Not Use Banner Ads. The banner ads are dead. The average user never clicks on the banner ads at the top of the page. You will have better results if you remove the ad from the top banner position, run the ad elsewhere and improve the look of the page.

7. Side Bar Unit Placement. You will not see the best results from the left site of the page. From the Chitika Forums: "The left side of the page is also a blind spot for psychological reasons (bear with me; I'm a bit of a dork). When you're reading a document, your eye will automatically look for the first letter of the first word of that line; however with the right-side of the document, your eye is much more flexible (since you can't be sure when that line will 'end') with texts and objects on the right side of the page. You can try Plus, the scroll bar is on the right, so you're looking over there anyway..." Additionally, if you are going to use a side bar unit keep it above the fold.

8. Blending the ads. This includes matching the background color, font style, font size, and font colors to your page. You want the ad to blend well with the site. The more seamless your page looks, the better the Chitika results will be.

9. How to Advertise on Forums. Traditionally forums do not do very well for advertising. The best practice is to put an ad unit just below the first post. This is good spot for your ad and it has a good chance of being read. The tops and bottoms of forum pages are overlooked. This placement seems to be the best for forum pages.

10. Traffic is the Most Important Factor. The most important factor for a successful Chitika campaign is traffic. Without good traffic all of the optimization in the world will not help you.

I hope these tips will help you to optimize your chitika ads to earn a lt more bucks.

How to avoid adsense getting banned

I have seen quite a lot of AdSense publishers posted in different forums stating that their AdSense accounts were banned by Google due to fraudulent clicks. Most of these people claim that they are innocent and have never clicked on their on AdSense ads. So they have no idea why click fraud can occur on their AdSense accounts. The truth is click fraud can happen in several ways and not necessarily caused by the AdSense publisher himself/herself who accidentally clicked on his/her own AdSense.

Below are some of the tips to protect your AdSense account:

1) Do not use autosurf programs to promote your websites that contain AdSense. Autosurf programs can substantially increase your website traffic or hits, AdSense page view and ecpm but people who surf your site only to earn advertising credit or other type of incentives. So the traffic generated from autosurf programs aren't counted as real and thus against AdSense policies.

2) If possible, do not involve in any traffic exchange networks and programs. If you have join one or more programs or networks that can make you a steady AdSense commission, you should start worry about your AdSense account as this could mean that members of the program(s) were clicking each other AdSense ads all the while whether intentionally or unintentionally. As soon as Google detected a group of people were clicking each other AdSense, many of the members AdSense account in the program will be suspended. Also traffic exchange can be another mean to artificially generate tons of unreal website traffic or hits and boost up AdSense page view & ecpm and it is strictly prohibited by Google .

3) Do not join AdSense exchange networks. They are similar to traffic exchange programs except members are participate just for clicking each other AdSense. This should be a guaranteed way to be banned by Google.

4) Read all the Google AdSense policies at http://www.google.com/adsense to see whether you have against any policies and make the necessary modification.

AdSense For Domains

One of the best ways to earn money online through Google AdSense is through AdSense for domains. It is Google's new domain parking service that allows website owner to make money off the domains that they are currently not using. For this reason you should consider using this service to cut down on your expense from the domains that are not in use.

First, lets discuss whether or not domain parking is a good way to make money online. There is really not much to talk about that subject anymore. It is not a good way to make money on the internet. It used to be one of the best ways to earn money. However, it takes advantage of type in traffic so only short domain names get a lot of direct visitors. Direct visitors are the only type of visitors parked sites get.

You will not get any free search engine traffic for a domain using AdSense for domains. The reason is search engines will not index a website that has no content. If you are familiar at all with domain parking then you know that you do not write content for a parked domain. If you add content you are building a website and not parking one. For this reason you need a short domain name that can get enough type in traffic to earn some money.

The next question is why pick Google as your service. There are many reason to pick Google over other providers. First, they are one of the most successful companies. That includes online and offline companies. Since Google get a share of the revenue from the AdSense for domains ads they are going to make it profitable. They give you many different ad layouts to choose from which makes it much easier and saves you a lot of time.

If you own a large collection of domains names for later use you should be parking them. If you are not you are losing a lot of money in yearly expenses that you could be combating. In most cases, depending on who your provider is. The yearly expense is usually in the range of six to fifteen dollars. If you own a lot of domains then you are paying a lot in yearly expenses. These expenses could be greatly cut in half. You actually may even be able to turn a profit from those domains just sitting around.

Chances are you would not make a lot of money. However, you could save a lot of money. Saving money is the same as making money. If you are saving a lot of money when it comes to those yearly expenses you are turning a bigger profit in the end from your other methods of earning money online. If you are looking to cut your yearly domain expense I recommend using AdSense for domains.

How to Get Started Blogging With AdSense

Ever since the Internet first came into use, people have tried to find ways to profit from it. Throughout the course of the Internet, over the past decade or so, several different programs have come to light which have helped people to make a substantial amount of money. One of these programs is offered by Google and once you have an account with Google, you can run their ads on your blog. It is an excellent way for you to make some extra money for your efforts, or even to start a business that can become a source of income. As a matter of fact, blogging with AdSense is one of the easier ways to get started making money that is currently available.

The first thing that you are going to need to do is to establish an account with Google so that you could begin running the ads on your blog. In order for you to do this, you are either going to need to have an established website that you are hosting on your own server or a blog that is running on blogger.com. Although it is possible for you to make money by using the blogger.com service, it is a much better idea for you to have your own domain and hosting so that you have total control over all aspects of the software.

There are some add-on programs that can easily be incorporated with your blogging software which will automatically insert the AdSense into your blog posts. This is easily accomplished for any future post that you are going to make. For any existing blog posts that have already gone on the Internet, you might want to consider having somebody edit your template or editing them yourself in order to begin blogging with AdSense using your pre-existing content.

You may also want to consider changing the size and position of your ads from time to time. This type of testing will allow you to see which add positions will generate the most clicks and therefore, the most profit.

Blogging with AdSense allows you to make money and you can either use it as your sole source of profit from your blog or you can simply incorporate it into your blog in order to generate additional cash. Either way, it is something that Google provides for you which can make finding sponsors for your blog a lot easier.

Important Tips Before Applying For AdSense

Almost every time you read an article on how to make money from a blog, one of the first word your eye will catch is the word 'AdSense'.

Most authors almost immediately tell you just to sign up with Google AdSense, copy and paste some code to your site and start making money.

What they do not tell you is, that it is no way that easy.

First of all; no matter how many different kind of advertises, no matter how good they might be, they will make you no money if you can't get visitors to your site. Without traffic - No money! From AdSense or any other kind of advertising.

And then AdSense:

Do not believe for one second, that you can just set up a quick blog with one of the default themes on blogger.com or the like. Not even if set up with your own domain name on a cheap hosting account.

Google is a very serious company, making tons of money from advertising. To be able to do so, they have to protect their paying customers from their advertises being displayed (and clicked on) at completely useless places such as a meaningless blog, or on what is really just a sales letter.

Don't get me wrong though: There is nothing wrong with a free blog or with a cheap hosting. But do not try to apply for AdSense and expect to be accepted, without doing your homework first, or it will be rejected for sure.

To get accepted into Goggles AdSense program:

  1. Do not apply with a site or blog that is still under construction.
  2. Do not set up just a pure sells site.
  3. Offer the readers some valuable content.
  4. Set up a presentable site, with not too many flashing banners, animations, pictures, etc.
  5. Avoid pop-ups. If you want to make use of pop-up, limit it to a single or two.
  6. Be certain that your site has no broken links.
  7. Create about 10 - 15 pages before applying.

10 - 15 pages may sound a lot, but if you are out of ideas what to write, you might be able to pick up some inspiration visiting some article directories.

Once you have a nice looking blog or site, with plenty of interesting content, and you are sure there's no broken links, then you can apply for a web publisher account with Google and hope to get approved.

If you are in need of ideas of content to your website or blog, you can try at places like:

ezinearticles.com

buildinganonline.biz/presents/affsphere

goarticles.com

submityourarticle.com

ideamarketers.com

If you want more options, just make a Yahoo or Google search on 'article directories' and plenty possibilities will show up.

Powerful ways to increase your adsense earnings

If you don't already know what Google AdSense is then let me briefly explain the concept for you. Google is the most commonly used search engine today but it is also a business with shareholders that want them to make a profit. Google's main idea has always been to provide searchers with the best possible search results that match what they were looking for. That is also known as "organic search results" and is what takes up most of the space when you view the results page after entering your search term and hitting enter.

Along side these organic search results you will find what is called Google AdWords (placed to the right of the organic listings). AdWords are ads that publishers are paying Google to show you when you enter specific words that the publisher has predefined that they want their ads shown for.

But besides showing these ads when you're searching using Google's search engine you are also presented with ads on ordinary websites about specific topics. These ads will mostly be related to the topic of that website and/or webpage and because you are visiting that page you probably have an interest in the topic and will therefore often find the ads shown to be relevant and interesting to you.

These ads are called "AdSense" and the owner of the website will get a small part of the money that Google is making from the publishers that is running the ads. The website owner is making money from selling part of the space on their website to publishers wanting their ads to be shown to the people visiting that website.

Optimize Your AdSense Earnings
As a website owner wanting to show AdSense ads there are especially three things that will boost your revenue significantly and if you feel like you are not making the amount of money that you would assume your site could be making then be sure to check to see whether you are following these three golden rules first.

Rule number 1: Placement
It is extremely important that you ads are placed in a prominent place on your website. If you are placing them where people are not looking they are not going to click the ads and you will not be making any money.

The best place to show AdSense ads are in the top left (below any header graphic you might be using) and in the top center of the page. Be sure to check that people are able to see your ads without having to scroll down the page (this is also known as "above the fold").

Rule number 2: Link Color
It has been proven time and time again that blue links are clicked more often than any other color of links. This is probably because we have all learned from the time when the Internet was invented that links are blue and that is just how it is. Our eyes and our minds are programmed to look for text that is blue so that we can click on it.

You might argue that the blue color doesn't fit the design of your site and I am not arguing with you on that. All I am telling you is that blue links are the best bet you can make for getting a higher amount of clicks on the ads.

Rule number 3: Targeted Text
The AdSense ads that Google is showing on your site are solely determined but Google's software. It will look at the title of your page/post and the text that you have written on that page. This means that if you write a text about a lot of different topics from keeping your garden free of weeds, over how to fix your car and finally ending up how to make more money on your job, the software will have a very difficult time figuring out what your text is really about and it will therefore most likely display ads that are not necessarily relevant to your visitors.

If you instead try to keep each post/page/article within a very narrow topic and use as many different words that you can come up with that are common within that topic the software will have a lot less trouble figuring out what your article is about and will therefore display ads that are laser targeted to that specific topic. This also means that the people reading what you have written (it is assumed that they are reading it because they have an interest) will be presented with ads that are a lot more relevant to them and they are therefore very likely to click on them to see what they are about. That means that you'll be making more money!!

Bonus rule
Whether you believe the three rules above or not you definitely should test to see whether you are actually leaving money on the street. The golden rule (or what I call the Bonus rule) is to always test, test and test again. It is not certain that blue links or top-left ad placements will be the best performing solution for your particular website but if you don't test you'll never know and you will very likely be leaving money on the table.

Steps to Increasing Click-Thrus With Google AdSense

Step 1 - Apply and Comply
Having a website can generate revenue for you twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Google AdSense is a free program that has an advertising revenue especially designed to help websites like yours to increase their revenue simply by displaying AdWords ads.

Apply to Google to have your website reviewed. Each page on your website must be content rich on various topics. These pages should all be centered around a theme which Google will use to target relevant ads to your website. Once you have applied, Google will require you to reply to an email to confirm that you have actually applied. In about 2 -3 days, Google will inform you of the review of your website and whether or not it has been accepted or rejected. Google will set up an account for you and provide you with the HTML code you need for displaying ads. Insert the HTML code into the pages on your websites and you can start displaying ads immediately.

Google search and page-ranking technology will search for ads that are relevant to your content pages. This technology matches the primary language of your pages and ads are targeted to your specific geographic location. This means that ads that serve users from Canada, for example, will not be the same ads that appear on your website for users in Australia. This 'geotargeting' by Google makes the ads relevant to all the visitors to your website and it also means that you may not see all of the ads that are targeted to your website. You do not have to be technologically literate to display AdSense ads on your web pages. Google does it all for you. All you have to do is insert the HTML code and maintain the website. It may take a few hours before the ads do appear on your web pages. At first, you may see public service ads appearing and you do not get paid for these. If your website is accepted, Google requires you to comply with their program policies:

- AdSense accounts cannot be transferred, reassigned or sold in connection with your website.
- You can place multiple ads on each page, but these cannot be in common with each other. The content of the page must not obscure the ad and both the ad text and the URL must be visible.
- If you are using Alternate Ads, you cannot specify Google as your alternate ads.
- AdSense ads cannot be pasted into any software application.
- You cannot modify the AdSense ads or search boxes before pasting them into your web pages.
- Affiliate or limited text links are not permitted in areas such as MP3, Video , Newsgroups and Image Results cannot be shown because of copyright laws.
- Visitors cannot be required to download a dialer in order to view the content of your website. - You cannot use any incentives to get users to click on any ads.
- Ads cannot be used in any unsupported language.
- Fraudulent clicks or clicking on your own ads are prohibited.
- Your website cannot contain any profanity, prejudicial language, information about hacking, illicit drugs, pornography, gambling or any other material that infringes on the rights of others.
- Your website must not contain any broken links and must be easily navigable.
- You must respond adequately to requests for support and enquiries made through your website.

Step 2 - Create More Content Pages For Your Website
Content pages are the pages in your web site that Google will use to target ads to your website. These pages should be content-rich. In other words, you should have lots of content that the user will be interested in. Each page of your website should be centered around one keyword that is related to the whole theme of your website. A keyword is the focal point of the article. To find out which keywords are the most searched, you can do your own search using software like Ad Word Analyzer. When you decide on a theme, brainstorm list of suitable keywords for which you can write articles.

For example, keywords for a website dealing with lawn care could include the following keywords: Seeding your lawn Hedges Mowing the lawn Preventing insect infestation Flowers Flowering shrubs Then you proceed to write articles for each keyword which can be anywhere from 150 to 500 words. Each keyword article will have its own page where you can display ads. The more content pages you have, the more ads you can display and this, of course, leads to more revenue for you. Keyword articles can be of several kinds - keyword rich and informative. Keyword rich articles contain the keyword in virtually every sentence. The rate is typically 4 - 8 % of the total word count. Informative keyword articles have a more conversational style and are easier to read. If the content pages are clearly focused, Google will be able to serve highly relevant ads to your pages. This means your visitors will be interested in the ads, resulting in more click-thrus and more money for you.

Step 3 - Use higher paying keywords whenever possible
You will earn more if the average AdWord that Google displays pays more per click. You should not create pages on unrelated keywords just because they pay more. Some of the high paying keywords that users query on search engines are: Vacations Education Investing Money Medicine However, don't create a page on vacations on a lawn care page, just because the ads pay more. It takes away from the legitimacy of your website. If you are an AdWords advertiser, you can log into your account and Experiment. As you will be sharing the revenue with Google, you will receive a percentage of the amount each advertiser pays per click. For example you may find that if you type in "ladders", the maximum price per click is 15 cents. A percentage of this will not get generate a very high revenue. However, if you type in "valium", you may find that the price per click is $5.00. The bottom line is the keywords you use can increase the amount of money you earn.

Step 4 - Create new pages with higher paying keywords and at the same time maintain relevance to the theme of your website.
Selecting keywords related to the same topic, can make a difference in how much money you earn by users clicking on relevant ads on your pages. Check the theme of your website for higher paying keywords and create articles related to these words. The terminology you use can determine how effective your website will be in attracting visitors. For example if you are selling teeth bleaching products a query for toothpaste may or may not select your website in the search. If you are selling products on your website, ensure that you have keyword articles related to the competition as well as your own products. This does not mean that you will advertise for the competition. The article can be a comparison of your product with another demonstrating why the user should purchase your product.

Step 5 - Create a brand new website with higher paying keywords
You can create a brand new website to take advantage of Google's AdSense program. Therefore, you will need to select a topic with high paying keywords. Then provide great information about that topic. Now that you have the content pages and keywords you want, you need to place the ads where they can be seen, and clicked, by the visitors to your website. Most Internet users are so bombarded by ads that they automatically tune out the ads that appear on a website. Your goal is to make your ads more appealing to the users and less like ads. Any time that users click on an ad, they have an actual interest in what that ad is selling. To maximize the number of click-thru ads on your site receive, you have to make them less like traditional advertising.

Step 6 - Create different kinds of web pages
Different pages on your website serve different purposes. If the object of your website is to sell a particular product or service, create web pages specifically for that purpose. Then have other pages on your website that are geared towards high search engine traffic. Once you realize which pages you are creating for AdSense, select appropriate keywords. Try to select keywords that are the highest paying keywords on the topic.

Step 7 - Create high quality information pages
Give the visitors to your website the answers they need. The keyword articles should give information about the topic and not ramble on with a disjointed list of sentences. When writing keyword articles, do not copy and paste from other websites. This is illegal. It's much better to write something new and unique. The writing in the articles should be of a conversational tone using language that the ordinary person will understand. For example, it would be of no point to write this ebook in completely technical language that only a computer programmer would understand. You would not be able to understand it and therefore not apply the techniques. The same is true of keyword articles. If the user does not like the first few sentences, he/she will not continue reading and will move on. Do not create a page about a topic and save it with another to try to generate high paying ads to your page. If your page is relevant to the topic, visitors will click-thru to other pages and ads.

Step 8 - Use the Best Ad Format For Your Web Page
Ads can be placed on your web pages using several methods. Some examples are the following styles of ads: 1 Leaderboards (728 x 90) Displays 3 lines of text Shows up to 24 ads on a page, horizontally 2 Banner (468 x 60) Displays 3 lines of text Shows up to 4 ads on a page, horizontally 3 Skyscraper (120x 600) Displays 4 lines of text Shows up to 4 ads on a page, horizontally 4 Medium Rectangle (300 x 250) Displays 2 lines of text Shows up to 4 ads per page Research has shown the best format for ads to maximize click-thrus are 336 x 280 rectangles. The next best size is 300 x 250. Banner are the worst ads to show on a site and the tall thin ads don't fit well on a page because they are usually on the left or the right. The best placement of ads on a page is in the center - right in the users line of vision. You have to put the ads in their face to maximize the effect of click-thrus by users. The best size ad to use is the 336 x 280 rectangle or if space ia at a premium use the 300 x 250 rectangle.

Step 9 - Make Sure That the Ad Block is Positioned Properly
Where you have the ad located on your web page affects how often users will click on it. Ads should be as close to the top and the middle as possible. Internet users look to the center of the page to find information. If your ad is placed down the sides, it will often be overlooked. People who use your web page because of a keyword search are generally looking for specific information. Having the ad placed front and center will get their attention, whereas ads on the side will not. Place the large rectangle ads just above the content, not in the right or left hand columns.

Step 10 - Choose the Best Colors for Your Ads
Google AdSense offers advice for publishers as to the color of the ads on their web pages. They allow you to customize your ad colors. They have a variety of custom palettes or you can choose from over 21 predefined combinations. The recommendation from Google for using custom palettes is to: - Have the background of the ads the same color or a color similar to the background color of the page. - Have the border of the ad a color that is predominant on the page.

- Have the title of the ad a color that is similar to the color of the text on the page.
- Have the URL of the ad a color similar to other links on the page.

Four different color palettes can be rotated at a time to add freshness and variety to the ads. Statistics show that navy blue color works best as a link. The color of the URL should not stand out on the page. The top ranking color for URL's is dark gray. It does not mask the advertiser URL even though light grays do the same thing. For some reason, lighter grays do not work as well as dark gray. Avoid unconventional colors for URLs. Blue is actually considered a non-stimulating color, and some publishers say it can actually have a negative effect on purchasing or deciding to click-thru. Blue is considered by many to be sleep inducing, and is the worst choice if you are interested in a call to action. Sometimes if the effect you want is calming, blue can be integrated effectively. Some examples might be a Motel roadsign, a relaxing vacation ad, a funeral ad or dental office (for the calming effect to alleviate fear). These are not the effects you want to have on your web site if you want to generate revenue through the ads. Blue links, on the other hand, increase click-thrus especially on a white background. Contrast is of almost equal importance for effectiveness and readability.

Each color has a "Light Reflective Value", or LRV, which is easier to determine when converted to grayscale. Black = 0 LRV White = 100 LRV Your contrast is measured by subtracting one from the other so black letters on white have the theoretical best contrast with a score of 100. Red 20, on purple 10 would have a contrast value of only 10 making it nearly unreadable. The only true "Light colors" are shades of yellow, and shades of white (all pastels). All other colors should be considered "Darks" from a contrast perspective. When starting out with placing ads on your web pages, the best advice is to experiment until you find a combination that works for you. Research and statistics have shown the default layout provided by Google AdSense is not the best option. Following these guidelines will result in Google being able to place ads relevant to your website on all the web pages. If Google cannot crawl or understand the content on any of your pages, public service announcements may be placed there and you will not receive any money for click-thrus to these ads.

Step 11 - Don't try to cheat your way to a higher revenue
Many publishers have tried to increase their revenue from Google AdSense by clicking on ads on their own website or using software which automatically repeats clicks. Such attempts to gain more money from the ads displayed on your web pages is fraudulent and will result in the automatic cancellation of your account. Google has engineers who can detect this type of fraud. By trying to spam your way to extra money won't work out. You will get kicked out of the program and you won't make any money at all.

Prohibited methods of clicking include:

- Repeated manual clicks
- Use of robots
- Automated clicking tools
- Deceptive software
- Clicking on your own ads

Legitimate clicks are those that are generated as the result of a user to your site clicking on one or more ads on various pages. You do not need to click any ads on your site to see if they work. AdSense specialists review ads to verify that they are working and lead to valid websites.

Tips to increase your adsense CTR

One of the main concerns of people who use AdSense as a money-making scheme over the internet is how to increase the AdSense clicks through rate. While you venture on different website marketing techniques in order to get more traffic, sometimes they just don't work. There is no problem with the website promotion aspect, but you just have to improve on your AdSense clicks, for you get only get paid once your visitors hit the links.

But how can you improve your AdSense clicks?

The first resolution you can do is fix your AdSense banner ad size. While a lot of people think bigger ads work better in generating profit, it's not always the case. There are times and circumstances when smaller ads bring in more profit as compared with bigger ads. Thus, for best results, why not add 125 x 125 banner ads on your site rather than the usual 250 x 250 sized ones. These ads may be smaller, but you can put a lot of them in your site and your audiences can easily focus on them while reading through your content.

Another aspect you should focus on is the AdSense text link colors. Using off colors doesn't really help in promoting your business; it only annoys your audiences. You should not make your ad look like one; otherwise your click rate will be low. AdSense clicks through rate in this aspect can be effectively achieved by not putting border around the ad, and by using the same color you apply on your text when inserting the ads.

By using the right color on your links, your website promotion strategies will become effective as well, as people would find your site friendly to their eyes. Through this you target readers would not hesitate to click on the ads since they know these links can give them the answers they are looking for.

Next, you look for the best AdSense placement. To optimize your website marketing methods through ads, you should begin with the Google AdSense link units. Through the link units, you can place the 5 horizontal link ad unit right on the header of your website, to make it easier for your audiences to see. Place the link ad unit three spaces under the header, and three line spaces above your text.

Meanwhile, another place where the ads become very effective is in between your text. The ads however should be smaller, so that they will not annoy your readers because of the surprisingly large advertisements. Afterward, you can place another horizontal ad link below the post, to remind your readers of your ads. By being discreet with your ads, your website promotion techniques would for sure bring in positive results to your site.

While people are more enticed with eye candy, AdSense clicks through rate does not always work well with image ads. At times text link ads are more profitable than image ads, thus you should first test the waters before you choose which ads you will use on your website marketing strategies.

AdSense Secret That Will Increase Your Income Significantly

I think that there are very few people that have been online for more than 6 months that have not in one way or another heard of Google AdSense. You might not know what it is but you have heard about it or read something about it somewhere in a blog or in the news you're following.

If you have been looking at ways to make an extra income from some online venture or if you already have a website or a blog you might know that Google AdSense can be a way to create that extra income for yourself with a minimal extra effort as you will just put the java script code on your website and Google will start showing ads on your site within 10 minutes or so. It is so simple that most people will quickly figure out how to implement it.

But just slapping on the code and then do nothing else might be able to make you money but you will also be leaving money on the table because you haven't spent time optimizing and testing what will work best on your site. No two websites are alike and what might be working great on one site might not be performing at its best on another site.

Very few people knows this (or thinks about it) and because of this they are making far less money than they could be making from the AdSense ads that they have on their websites.

Now I can't go into every single detail of how to test and tweak your AdSense ads because that would be a book in itself but I would like to share one thing with you that can possibly have a major impact on your AdSense earnings in the weeks and months to come and it'll require very little effort on your part (isn't that what we all want?).

The idea is to test the color of the text used in the AdSense ads. For most if will have the standard color of blue and if you haven't touched the default value your links are probably already blue. Test have shown that in most cases (which is most likely why they are that color) the blue link will outperform ads with links that have other colors. But you can't trust that this is the case with your site so you will have to test.

For some sites it will work far better if the ads look like an integrated part of the site and this means that the links should have the same color as other links on that site. On other sites it will be beneficial to have the ads (and links) stand out from other links and if you are normally using blue links then try changing the color to red or green and monitor what happens.

You should only change the color if you are planning on tracking the results. If you're not you might just make things worse but you would never know because you're not looking at the outcome. What you should look at is the numbers called Click Through Rates or CTR for short. The higher the CTR the more people are actually clicking your ads and the more money will likely come your way. But remember to test the final outcome and not just the CTR. If your CTR goes up but your total income goes down then the test color might not be the best for your site.

Like I said then there are a lot of other stuff that you should test and track and if you would like to know more on how you can possibly double or triple your AdSense income then be sure to visit my site where I'll explain more about how and what you should test if you're using AdSense to make money from your websites.

How to Make $100 Every Day With AdSense

You have probably heard of the AdSense publishers who make in excess of $10,000 a month as well as the big earners who make more than $100,000 a month, but wouldn't it be great just to make $100 a day from Google's brilliant AdSense program?

If you are an existing AdSense publisher who is struggling to make the $100 a month payment threshold then the following tips will set you up on the road to earning that monthly 5 figure sum with AdSense.

6 Tips to Make $100 a Day With AdSense

1. Position Ads Above the Fold The part of a web page that is visible (without having to scroll down) after it has loaded is the part that is "above the fold". Therefore AdSense ads that are visible above the fold are more likely to get clicked on than those that only become visible if the site visitor scrolls down the page as they are less likely to scroll down than just view what is immediately visible. In fact check out Google's heatmap which shows the positioning for the best performing ads.
2. Blend Your AdsAs web surfers are becoming increasingly blind to ads your AdSense ads should be blended into the content of your site in terms of the text & background colors. If the fonts can be matched this will also increase your chances of having the ads clicked on & thereby earning you more of that much loved AdSense revenue.
3. Best AdSense Ad SizesThe following is a list that is generally accepted as of the highest performing ad sizes... * 336×280 large rectangle * 300×250 inline rectangle * 160×600 wide skyscraper Whilst the above size ads may not always be suitable for your website or blog it is worth noting that these are the ones that out perform other AdSense ad sizes.
4. Links Should be BlueOne of the most important factors affecting AdSense revenue is to ensure that the links are blue. Web surfers view the color blue as a sign that a link is present . The whole point of this entire process is to get people to click on your links - especially when they are attached to AdSense.
5. Set Up ChannelsGoogle's AdSense program allows you to create channels for each ad unit which provides you with an excellent tool to compare your various ad units performance on each page.
6. Click through Rate (CTR) Its important to monitor your CTR as it reflects the percentage of clicks generated per page impression. You can therefore compare your pages' CTR and tweak things to improve the lower performing pages and so on.

The following formula sums up the AdSense money making model.

AdSense Revenue = Optimally Positioned, Sized & Blended Ads + Traffic Volume + High Paying Ads + Relevant Ads

What this means is that to maximize your website's AdSense earning potential it needs to have all the factors optimized, for example a site with high paying ads but without traffic will not earn much whilst a site with hoards of traffic but without correctly optimized ads will likewise not do well.

So in order to hit the $100 a day mark with AdSense ensure that your site is AdSense ready.

Make Money Online With AdSense - Useful Tips

The fastest way to start making money with AdSense is with an already established website. You see when you first put together a new website it takes a few months for the search engines to get your site completely cataloged and referenced. Just like Rome, you can't build a website and get a huge flow of traffic overnight. Be patient, good things come to those who wait.

1) If you need to make money immediately, this is not the right program for you. Don't just toss the idea that you can make money online with AdSense out the window if you are in this situation. Just put it on the back burner and get your cash flow going somewhere else first. Then return to getting started at making money from AdSense ads.

2) You don't have to do just one thing when you start making money online. Most webprenuers have more than one income stream in operation. You see the average small business on the Internet doesn't make thousands of dollars every month. By having a collection of different small income streams you have enough cash flow to earn a decent income.

3) Don't bite off more websites and blogs than you can chew. You need fresh content to keep your traffic coming back and to keep search engines referencing your pages as important places for search results placement. Make sure your content is loaded with great information and is original copy. Also be sure to do your research and plan your site properly and the money with follow.

SEO Tips So You Make More Money With AdSense

By placing targeted links from Google AdSense on your blog you can make a nice amount of money just by people clicking on them. So how do you maximize your AdSense earnings and make your blog a money making machine?

SEO or search engine optimization through using keywords. It’s all about the type of keywords you have littered about your blog. These keywords are the key to driving traffic to your site and help make you money. The right keywords will also help Google place ads that are solely targeted to your sites content to drive even more traffic. The more traffic, the more money you could end up making.

The following are several tips on how to make the most of your blog and AdSense account by using SEO.

1. Figure out the best keywords for your site, the stronger and more searched the better.

One way you can determine if you have the right keywords is to look at the ads that AdSense has placed on your site. Do they coincide with your copy? Are they relevant to your information?

5 Tips to Help You Increase Your Google AdSense Earnings

Google AdSense is the simplest way to advertise to people who come to your site. All you have to do is register for AdSense and get your site accepted and you're good to go. Every time someone clicks on said ad, Google makes money and in turn, you do as well. It’s a basic revenue sharing application; all you have to do is get the readers to your site.

Increasing your Google AdSense Earnings is easy if you follow some simple rules:

When you sign up for AdSense, read all of the literature and help files they have available. Make sure to read and follow the rules of the service to a tee.

Never, ever change the coding they give you to place on your site. This can lead to unreported clicks and no earnings for you. If you have an issue with placing the links on your site, you can always ask for help on their site.

Don’t cheat the system by asking your friends and or family members to go to your site and start going crazy clicking the ads. Google has ways of tracking suspicious activity and you can and will get yourself banned from using their service. This goes for you clicking on your own ads as well. If for some reason you need to work on your sites content and find you are reloading your page a lot, turn off AdSense so it doesn’t red flag you.

Learn where to place your ads for the best click advantage. If you have small post you can place the ads right at the top of the post. If you have a larger post, place them at the bottom so it’s the last thing they see and can click on of they want to look for more information about the topic you just wrote about. There have even been people who place the ads in between paragraphs; this is also effective in getting them to click on them.

Experiment with ad layouts on your site. Some sites are better suited for image ads while others you'll have more luck with the text based link ads. It's important you try and test these things out for yourself. What works for one person may not work for another!

Adsense marketing with blogs

Google AdSense provides an excellent opportunity for people to make money without the need of signing up for an affiliate or selling a product directly. However, AdSense isn't one of those services that can make you rich instantly, it is to be treated as a business like any other. Google has plenty of strict rules to follow to avoid your account being closed due to bad tactics.

There are lots of online marketers out there that are making a lot from AdSense and that's because they have been using proven techniques to legally earn money. Some of these techniques can take some time to learn and require patience for results to be witnessed, but there are some basic ones that beginners can try out as well.

One working method is to set up a blog for you to manage. You need to have your own web hosting provider so that you can have more flexibility in editing the blog and adding AdSense to the blog. Before you start adding lots of content to your blog, be sure to think of a theme first. Remember that AdSense will display ads that are relevant to your content so readers that are checking out your content are likely to click your ads. Keeping your future blog posts to a certain theme or subject will deliver better ads that your visitors will be interested in.

DESIGN

Design is a key aspect as well and will affect how many visitors you will have every day. Your main goal is to have a good clean and unique blog design that is enough for people to come back again for updates. The design also includes the placement of your AdSense code. You need to place it in a spot where it is not very intrusive, but at the same time is fairly noticeable for people to click on. If your blog is good enough, Google may provide some image ads that stand out more.

CONTENT

It is also important to make sure that your content is just as good because people do not like to subscribe to boring blogs. Try to talk about different topics within your chosen theme so you can get a better variety of ads. It is even better if your content is optimized for search engines so people that are searching for a theme that you are covering can visit your blog.

KEEP POSTING

Don't forget to update your blog regularly to show that your blog is always fresh and active. You don't have to post every few hours or even every day as it can lower the quality of your overall content, but never let your blog sit there unless you did a lot and want a small break. As you get consistent with your blogging, your ad revenue should increase.

If you don't have the results that you expected, maybe you need to advertise your blog a bit more and get some more traffic in. There will always be room for improvement for your blog so it also helps to update your blog every now and then. Try blogging for a month and expand as you grow to be successful with AdSense.

How to Double Your AdSense Income Instantly

How to Double Your AdSense Income Instantly

As you probably already know, AdSense is revolutionizing the way many infopreneurs are creating revenue from their web site traffic. The reason for this is its simplicity. Through AdSense, revenue is generated when someone simply clicks thru the AdSense ads displayed on the webmasters web site.

In this article I want to give you a few simple ways to dramatically increase your AdSense income.

The bottom line:

To increase AdSense income all you must do is increase the number of click thrus you receive.

There are two ways for you to increase your total number of click thrus. You can either increase your website traffic or you can increase your AdSense click thru rate. Now, getting more traffic would be great, but lets be honest increasing your web site traffic is much easier said than done. So, lets focus on increasing your AdSense click thru rate instead.

4 Tips to Increase Click Thru:

Match your AdSense to your website:

You want your AdSense ads to appear as seamless as possible. Your goal is to match every aspect of your AdSense ads to the theme of your website. What you want to do is remove the borders from your AdSense ads and match the background color of the ad to your website. Additionally, you want to match the color of the AdSense links to the rest of the links on your website plus choose an ad format that makes the ads look seamless.

For example, if your web site has a white background and the default color of your hypertext links is blue you will want to remove the border from your AdSense, make the background white, choose either a square or a rectangle as your ad format instead of a skyscraper or banner, and yep you guessed it make the links blue.

Placement Matters:

Where you place your AdSense ads is just as important as how they look. Luckily, there are only a few concepts that you need to worry about in order to increase your click through rate.

�The more white space around your ads the better
�The closer to the top of the page the better
�The closer the left of the page the better

Follow these concepts and I can assure you that you will see an increase in your AdSense click thru rate. (It really is that simply!)

Google Search:

Now this is one that I rarely see webmasters take advantage of. The Google AdSense program gives webmasters the ability to add a Google search box to there web site.

Why should you use this function?

Well, when a website visitor chooses to use this search box from your website your AdSense ID will be imbedded in ALL of that visitors Google searches. If that person does 1 search or 50 your AdSense ID will still be imbedded throughout process.

Why is this so great?

If that visitor clicks on any of the sponsored listings while surfing from your web site guess who makes money. YOU! If they hit the back button and click on another ad guess who makes money? YOU! This is absolutely huge. Through this function you now have the ability to earn multiple click thrus from the same visitor on the site visit. Please dont overlook how powerful this is. Besides, most of your website traffic will just be browsing anyway, so I why help them find what there looking for and make a little coin along the way?

Tracking:

Just like any other type of marketing, you wont know whats working the best for you on your web site unless you track the different things that youre experimenting with. Set up a few Google AdSense channels for the different ads that youll be placing on your website. Then just see which channels are working the best and stick to those.

Thats it!

Follow the tips above and I can assure you that you will absolutely double your AdSense click thru rate and your AdSense income. The best part about the four tips Ive shared here is that you can put them into action immediately and see how they will work on your website right now. Who knows you could be making twice as much by tomorrow by just making a few simple tweaks here and there.

Good Luck!

Tips to create an adsense website

Nowadays, it is near impossible to surf Internet for one or two hours without seeing “Ads by google” advertisements. The Google Adsense allows webmasters to display advertisments according to the content of their site, and get paid from the ads. The earnings can range from few dollars a month to 5-digits amount. Here are some tips to before you start a website if you want to have your adsense earning too.

1. Niche

Create a niche site with enough advertisers and high paying keyword, but not crowded with too much competition.

This post brings out nicely how to get the idea for a good niche. While being written mainly for community/forum site, it sure applies to whatever website that you plan to do.

When you found the niche / keyword that you like, try to do a search at google. 10 millions result is not good - it’s too competitive. It is much harder to climb to the top search engine result page if there are 10 million competitors compared with 1 thousand competitors.

If it is too crowded, drop that keyword and find another one. But beware if it is too low too. Very likely that indicates a low interest in your chosen topic. Try to find somewhere between 10,000 results to 500,000 results.

Then, use overture keyword tool to find number of searches done for your keyword. While low search number does not mean it is not good, you can get an estimate of how popular your niche is.

2. Advertisment Keyword

Now that you find a niche for your website, you want to put keywords to drive the ads. Please note that this can be different from your niche keyword.

Use a not very high paying keyword for you niche, to get around the competition. But to get advertisments that pays well, use also high paying keywords in the contents, slightly less than the main niche keywords.

This is because adsense will serve ads that it thinks will perform best, and most of the times that means highest paying keyword. Keep in mind tough, that it should still be related. Otherwise, the visitors will have no interest to click on the adsense ads. To gauge how much keywords are priced, use this overture bid tool.

3. Content & Traffic

Now that you have decided what your site is about, you need to bring in traffic to your website.

First and foremost, you need contents. Write original contents for your site, the more the merrier. Write keyword-targetted contents to get search engine ranking. Most of the times, search engine will become major source of your traffic, so pay attention to the Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) techniques. Write well for human too, it can bring incoming links from people who likes what you write.

One of the best way to create traffic is to write article and submit to article submission sites. If your article is good, it will be posted by many webmasters. In exchange, they will provide put links to your site at the end of the article. It can help in two ways. With more incoming links, your site will rank higher in search engine. At the same time, readers who found that your article is useful will go to your website.

4. Advertisement Placement

Generally, advertisement CTR (click through rate- number of clicks per number of times advertisement are shown) range from 2% to 10%. If lower than 2%, that means there is room for improvements you can do to increase your income. If it is higher than 10%, however, it may raise the red flag of click-fraud.

Where and how you place your advertisments is one factor that will determine your CTR. The best way to find optimum placement form is to keep on testing. You can try different location, format, color, etc.

Generally, the placement that are most popular are above fold, with 336 x 280 rectangle, the 300 x250 rectangle or the 160 x 600 sky scraper format, using color that blends with the contents.

Take note also of number of ads you put on the page. Google Adsense serves ads based on best performing one. When you put too many ads on the page, while it increase number of ads your visitor can click, the ads clicked might be the low paying ones.

What are they?

1. Use Unique Web Pages - to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.

Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buy them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product.

Write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive, compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.

Provide quality content your visitors will appreciate.

2. Offer Free Reports or e-Books or a Combination Of Both - to your readers and position them at the very top side of your page where they cannot be missed. Insert autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.

Two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: close a sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of your product. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.

Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word "free" because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince your opt-in list to buy your product or service.

3. Write Articles - Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, related to the product you are promoting, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.

By the rule of thumb, only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as many as 1,000 targeted hits to your website a day, that's 10 sales closed.

It's not difficult to do. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part. Start writing and it will become next to nature in no time.

Now that you have the tools, let's put them to work!
