Simple google adsense ad placement format and optimization strategies that can improve your adsense earnings tremendously.

The google Adsense program is a fantastic way for anybody no matter his or her Internet experience or technical level to make significant, steady income on the Internet, almost as an autopilot.

For Example, some of google adsense great benefits include:

You don’t have to sell anything and deal with customer complaints like in Ebay businesses our worry about payments or be forced to refund these payments for whatever reason.

• You wont have to invest countless hours trying to contact potential JV partners and dealing with possible rejections.

• You don’t have to buy over-rated private label ebooks everybody else is trying to sell.

• Or spend lots of time researching possible profitable Niches, only to find that the seats have already been taken by savvy Internet marketers.

But how does the Google Adsense program work?

Simple, you apply to google using your website or blog and you get accepted. You can find details about this process at google’s website.

Google places ads on your web pages. These ads are closely related to the contents of that page. For example, if you have a page on bad credit repair, google will only place ads relating to “bad credit repair” on that page.

This policy works very well to your advantage. It maintains the quality of your site by keeping a uniform content. Visitors searching for particular keyword information arrive at your site and click on the google adsense ads. You will make money as long as the visitor clicks through, whether they buy item or not. You can also profit from the cost per-1000 impressions or cpm.

The above explanation sounds simple, but why are many people disappointed by their google adsense earnings? Well. The problem can be narrowed to poor Ad placement.

According to google help center: you should ask yourself the following simple questions before designing your google adsense pages:

1. What is the visitor trying to accomplish by visiting your website?

2. What do they do when viewing a particular web page?

3. Where do you suppose they are focusing their attention?

4. How can you blend your ads into this area of focus without appearing to be selling them something?

5. How can you keep your pages clean, uncluttered and professional looking to captivate your visitors’ attention?

In summary, most savvy Internet marketers agree on the following optimal google adsense ad format and strategies:

1. Concentrate on only one google adsense ad format- the large rectangle (336 x 280). Thus format has proven to attract a higher click-through-rate (ctr). Why, you may ask? Basically because these types of ads look like normal web links that your visitors are used to clicking on. They will automatically click on them, and of course you will make money.

2. Choose a google adsense ad palette that matches your site’s theme. That is, if your site has a white background, then choose white color for your ad boarder and background.

3. Place google adsense ads at the top of your page, where visitors can see them-quickly.

4. Include 3 to 4 unique images that will make visitors focus on the adsense ad area. Best placements are beneath the images.

5. Remember to optimize your web pages with appropriate keywords. Observe the following basic rules as much as possible, as you build your website pages:

• Choose 2 to 3 keywords per page.

• Choose keywords with high-bid amounts as primary keywords.

• Use the primary keyword in your title, and then repeat title in the body of your article, especially within the first paragraph.

• Bold your primary keyword and other keywords about 4 times within the body of the article

• If this is a blog post, hit the return key a couple of times at the end of article, and finish with primary keyword all by itself.

• Last but not the least, placing a google search box on your website can increase your adsense revenues dramatically.

Is Google Adsense Truly The Right Path to Follow
EngIhab

Apr 2009

Anybody who is somehow connected to internet marketing has heard of Google adsense and according to a lot of internet marketers using adsense is one of the easiest ways to make massive amounts of money from your web site. I often wonder though. Have you ever thought of the real consequences after you decided to place those adsense ads on your web site?

To get a clear view on this subject and for you to make a decision based on facts instead of hype we need to have a closer look at what you try to achieve.

At this moment in time there are a few different types of web sites floating around on the internet which we could line up as follows.

  • Info Web Sites
    These are the web sites where the web site owner realizes the potential he creates just because of the quality content he delivers. He certainly uses all sorts of content to make it a visit to remember and normally he will receive a lot of return visits.
  • Sales Pages
    Sole purpose of these web sites, sell a one time offer and try to get visitors to subscribe to the web site owner his/her list.
  • Affiliate Web Sites
    These web sites are completely stuffed with affiliate products and hardly add any further value to its visitors.

Which web sites, looking at the three options listed above would benefit most from Google adsense?

Let’s take a closer look at this question.

Assuming you are the owner of an info product and you either created a killer sales letter yourself or got somebody else to write you one, wouldn’t placing Google ads totally waist the sole purpose of your sales page?

Either affiliates promoting your product, or you yourself, are investing a lot of time to receive traffic, would you just send that traffic away with a single click on a ad? I sincerely hope not!!

The same goes for the info web site in a way. If you are involved with a true quality info web site, you should at least be careful when using Google adsense. Don’t you agree that one of the hardest parts of maintaining a profitable web site is getting enough quality hits? Aren’t you trying to keep those visitors on your web site for as long as possible? I am sure that your links are all opening in a new window without closing your web page.

Then let me ask you the following.

Why would you be willing to loose that most important part of your business, your customer, for a few lousy dollars in adsense fee whilst instead you could have made him/her a subscriber to your newsletter, you would have certainly made a lot more money out of that one time visit.

I don’t claim that you should not use Google adsense at all on your info web site, just make sure that you place it on locations where it won’t hurt the main purpose of your web site to much.

Are you the owner of an affiliate web site you might want to reconsider using Google adsense as well. Most of the time this type of web site won’t have the benefits of organic search engine traffic like an info web site meaning most of the traffic will have to be generated through advertising.

Here the use of Google adsense might be beneficiary but only when you created a niche web site where you know you’ll get more then a couple of cents per click on one of your Google ads. Don’t forget, making a profit should always be the sole purpose of your web site.

In a nutshell:

Don’t decide to loose your visitors through Google ads to easily, keep in mind that once they click on a Google ad they will most likely be gone for good. At least try to get a commitment out of your visitors before you send them of.

How to Double Your AdSense Income Instantly

Apr 2009

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 let’s be honest increasing your web site traffic is much easier said than done. So, let’s 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 don’t 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 won’t know what’s working the best for you on your web site unless you track the different things that you’re experimenting with. Set up a few Google AdSense channels for the different ads that you’ll be placing on your website. Then just see which channels are working the best and stick to those.

That’s 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 I’ve 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.

How To Make Money From Google Adsense
EngIhab

Apr 2009

Google is a big name on the Internet these days and if you have a website of any sort you can make money with their help. You don’t have to have the top ranked website on the Internet; you don’t have to concern yourself with search engine optimization, you simply have to have a website on which you wouldn’t mind placing a few small advertisements. Making money with Google Adsense is so simple that the opportunity is hard to pass up! Any type of website will work well with the Google Adsense program, which makes it all the more attractive.

While most of us know Google to be the biggest search engine on the Internet, the company actually makes most of its money and is known to others for its Adwords program. This program allows website owners to advertise on Google’s search result pages. The Adsense program basically is the other side of the Adwords program and allows Google to advertise on your website and they pay you a portion of their revenue in return. Google is all about making money, and because they have so many companies willing to pay them for advertising space, they don’t mind sharing a bit of it with you for the extra space on the Internet!

Adsense is a good idea because it’s easy, requires very little of you, and will at least pay for your site each year. In fact, some people start using Adsense to cover their website expenses and find that they can earn a lot more, depending on their website and the traffic that they receive. Others just want to supplement what they are already making online, and this is also possible with Google Adsense. With just one website you can begin earning money tomorrow with Google Adsense.

The way this works is that every time a visitor on your website clicks on the advertisement, the company being advertised has to pay Google. This may be just 25 cents per click but over the course of a week, a month, or a year this nominal amount can really add up. While you will not see the 25 cents for each click, you may see a few cents of that. It doesn’t seem like much, but when there are Google Adsense advertisements on all of your web pages the change can really add up fast. In fact, the program is so popular and lucrative that many people add pages to their existing websites just so that they can take on more Google Adsense advertisements.

What’s great about the program is that you won’t just have any old advertisement on your website. Google is very smart and knows that every website has a target audience, so the advertisements are relevant to the information, topic, service, or product that you offer on your website. This not only makes the advertisement seem as though it is not out of place, but also increases the likelihood that your visitors will click on it, earning both you and Google a few pennies with each click.

Google Adsense is a great program, but one tip is not to expect to become a millionaire with it. Many people boast how much money they make through the Adsense program and while you can earn a relatively good amount for a free program it is not likely that you will be able to quit your job at the end of the month! Another tip is to really think about how many pages you are willing to advertise on and how much space you can dedicate to Google advertisements. While the program is worth your time and space, many Internet users are wise to the program and feel as though web space could be used for more information, products, and services and don’t like the idea that you want them to click on advertisements that will pay you. Granted, most web surfers will not avoid a website just because it has Google advertisements, but it’s important not to take away from the user experience of your website to provide this advertising opportunity.

Google Adsense has had a bit of negative feedback, but with so many people using the program it comes as no surprise that some people are unhappy with it! Many people complain that their website features public service advertisements for extended periods of time, which do not pay. It is generally understood that if Google cannot determine what sort of advertisement to place on your webpage that they may place a public service announcement in place of a paid advertisement. The problem is that many website owners report that there will be a relevant ad and then all of a sudden it will be an unpaid advertisement. You could see how this would be very irritating, but for a free service you have to be willing to be a little bit flexible.

Overall Google Adsense is a very good program. Obviously, the more traffic you get to your website the more money you can make with the program. If you can take some time to work with Google and let them know what your website is all about you will find that your website has very relevant advertisements placed on it. Like all programs, Google Adsense has issues from time to time, but for the small investment in the way of space it is generally a great program to be involved with!

Affiliate Programs like ClickBank are the best ways of get an extra income every month without spend money. You can join for free in just minutes with ClickBank and start offering Digital Products to your customers. If you have a good double opt-in email list or just a blog or website, you can add ClickBank to get an extra income.

ClickBank only allow to sellers offer Digital Products or Inmediate Download Products, it means that after buyer pay for it can download it. Its one of most important features of ClickBank and for this, it’s the best Affiliate Program.

About 3 months ago, I read the ebook Google Cash, where the author explain the best ways to get Affiliate Sales using Google Adwords. There are others ebooks about Google Adwords and ways to get affiliate sales using it, I recommend that you search and read for it, because it’s a good way to get money faster.

Google Adwords Is one of the best ways of promote your site, online business or what you want to promote. You can join Google Adwords here: http://www.google.com/adwords/ After join, you can setup your first Ad, where you will be able to select the “Ad Text”, “Ad Link to show”, “Ad link to go after click”, “Ad Title” and “Ad keywords”. You will need to think about what product want to promote. Remember, Adwords will send you people that are searching for this product. For example, if you are searching for “Cars” in Google, you will see that after press “Search button” some ads appears in the right and maybe above of search results. Adwords will put your ad on this places exactly when people is searching it, so in less words, people will see ads of what they are searching for. For this reason Adwords is most effective ways to promote your business.

You can setup your keywords, you will need to search about keywords using Overture Keyword Tool, where you will be able to enter the keyword and will get last month searches for this keyword and related phrases, also you will be able to get “Advertisers Bids” for this keywords.

Selecting most common keywords is not always the best solution, because keywords like “email” or “car” are really spensive, because this keywords are most searched In Internet. Maybe you can select other related keywords, or phrases. There are lot of it that are also searched and cost the minimum ($0.05)

Ok, now you have your product selected (using ClickBank), you have the right keywords and your Ad designed (title and text). After you complete the Adwords Steps, your ad will be sent for “Approval” and Google Team will approve (or not) in just one day (sometimes I got it approved the same day).

With $50 you can start your own Adwords Campaign, if you selected keywords as low as $0.05, so with $50 you will get 1,000 Relevant and Exactly visits to your products, just think that if your product is nice and good, you may get 10 or more sales, and if you get only $12.50 per sale, you will get $125.00 for $50 of investment. ($75 ROI)

Ok, now, if it is your first time with Adwords, and don’t want to spend your first $50 you can go to ebay.com, register an account for free, and search for “Adwords Coupons”. You will get a list with all auctions related with Adwords Coupons. What is it? Adwords Coupons are links or just “coupons” to get discounts or free Adwords Credit. You can buy at ebay.com $55 free adwords credit for less than $2, and it works fine. I used it last months, but after I got real profit from my sales I never didn’t use it again, because if im a really “internet marketer” I need to spend some money to get success, not all is free, or just not always people can get free promotion.

Do all above, read more about Google Adwords in Adwords Support Center, you will get lot of features like “Select the Country where you want to offer your product”, it’s a good option because you will not want to offer products to all countries… you only will want to offer it to specified country, to get more targeted visits to your Ad.

Im getting real profit from this tactic, its very used for Webmasters and People around the globe, and its one of best ways to get real income in just one week.

Adwords and Affiliate Programs are only one way to get online revenue, there are many other ways.

Give Your Adsense Income An Almighty Boost!

Are you one of the thousands, nay, millions of people who are working off blood, sweat and tears in order to get your adsense income to the desired level?

Are you struggling to even break the dollar a day barrier?

Well let me give you a few tips.

After all It wasn’t that long ago that I was where you are now, once I’d learnt a few techniques and more importantly - put them into action, my adsense income grew and grew.

The beauty of it is that now I can go out for a meal, take a trip to the cinema, go to a bar with my friends and know that when I get home, I’ll have had some clicks. Clicks from vistiors to my site. Clicks which have paid me cash directly into my bank account.

So how do you go about getting these mysterious clicks? Well it’s actually pretty easy with a little discipline and a moderate amount of hard work. But there are certain things that you simply must do in order to generate a long term adsense income.

Here are my top 3 adsense boosters…

1) Make a quality website. Sounds obvious but this gets more important as the search engines develop and filter out duplicate content. In truth the duplicate content myth is something which may not be as harmful as first thought. However, the only way you can guarantee that your sites will continue to rank highly is to stuff them full of quality, original content.

Here’s a truly important piece of advice that will mean the difference between long-term success and imminent failure - build sites for your visitors, not the search engines. Get it? Make them readable and informative, not stuffed full of keywords in order to attract the search engine spiders.

2) Position your ads correctly. That means to the left or right of the content so that the text (of your well-researched articles) surrounds the ad. If you can get an image near the ad all the better, but Google state that the image must have a border around it to stay in the TOS.

3) Backlinks, but not just any old backlink. There is a really effective in-depth way to do this and I’ll try to cover it in a brief form here.

Write original, entertaining articles. Use Article Marketer to distribute them and submit manually to Ezine Articles (for PR reasons). Now for the science bit. In the resource box of your article use anchor text. Make sure you use a term that relates to your niche and that has a reasonable amount of comeptition. When your article is spread around enough sites, you’ll start to rank well for that term. Over time this will gain you floods of long-term traffic.

So they’re my three most important tips on how to give your adsense income a kick up the behind.

Listen, it’s not easy, you can’t just push a button and begin making oodles of money as some “marketers” would have you believe. You just need a step by step plan of action that you can follow diligently, day in day out. A decent adsense income is a cumulative result of the daily effort you put in.

So go forth young warrior and start building your adsense kingdom ;)

AdSense Money Maker through Blog Niche Marketing
EngIhab
28
Mar 2009

You too can build a money making site from home, that will earn you extra money for that vacation you want to take, for that car you need to purchase or those inflating credit card bills.

First step: you need to pick a Niche market. What is a Niche market you may ask? It is a topic that is more focused, and does not take the general aspect of a topic. You want to pick something that is out there, but is focused so you can get up there in search engines and build traffic to your site.

Want an example of a Blog with Niche Marketing?

Mesothelioma Info and Updates at http://mesotheliomainfoupdates.blogspot.com. This site taylors to Mesothelioma, a rare disease caused by Asbestos, and the site goes in depth about the Niche Market of “Peritoneal Mesothelioma”. Asbestos would be more of a General Blog without Niche marketing, while drilling down to “Peritoneal Mesothelioma” is a niche market.

Another example of a blog that is not Niche Marketing is the Domain Names and Web Design Info blog at http://domainnamesatretail.blogspot.com. This blog is maintained in a general sense that it discusses topics from Web Design, Web Hosting and Domain Names to Money Making strategies. It is not focused to one single topic.

Once you have picked your Niche market, you have to find out if it pays well through advertising, and has actual advertisers willing to pay you to advertise the site!

The Overture bidding tool will tell you just that! Go to: http://uv.bidtool.overture.com/d/search/tools/bidtool/

Type in your niche market term, and it will tell you how much people on overture are willing to pay for each term. If it pays well, and is worth your while, then that will be your niche market you want to pursue.

Now you need to find the keywords you want to target and rank high for in Google. The suggestion tool located at will help you find just that: http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/

Type in a keyword and it will show you what people search for and how many times per day. Pick a keyword that has a good daily search, but does not have too high of a number. This will allow you to have a fighting chance to cracking the top position for this search term. For example you may want something with about 100 searches per day.

Once you pick one, go to http://www.google.com, and search for that term and see how many results show up. If you have less than 1 million results, then that is ideal. Now take a look at the current #1 spot. See their page rank and how many links they have. If you think you can outrank them, then you are good to go. Target that keyword with your Niche market, and your site research is done.

Once you have the research complete, you set up a blog or web site.

To Set up a blog, go to one that I use Blogger at http://www.blogger.com. Set up your blog and begin posting in no time. This is a good and quick setup for getting your site started and getting searched by Google. However, your own site with its own domain name and hosting, tends to come up higher in search rankings. Also, having your own unique Blog Design as opposed to using a Blogger template, will help your site stand out from the rest. Emenki Web Solutions can provide you with such a custom template.

To set up your web site, purchase a domain name and web hosting. Download the Web Site Startup Handbook Ebook to learn more at http://www.domainsatretail.com/DomainsAtRetail.pdf. Then get free Blogging software and begin to run your site. Search on http://www.hotscripts.com to find Blogging software that you can use for Free.

Run your said Blog for about two weeks with at least 1-2 posts per day to develop enough content for search engines to consider placing you site in its rankings and for you to build traffic.

Once you have done this, set your site up for Google Adsense (http://adsense.google.com). Remember to follow the Google Adsense Terms of Service.

Once your site is approved for Google Adsense, place the AdSense code and begin to market your site through SEO software like Traffic Blazer and One way Link Building Strategies!

Read up on SEO techniques to get your site to the top! Once you are there, you will generate traffic and if you have enough click through on your ads, you will make money!
