High Paying Ads. Extremely Important.

UPDATED 20/03/13 Ok Folks, a totally new subject. High Paying Ads. One of the most obvious things about different ads is- they are different. (Well Daaa..) Well yes, maybe it's really obvious, but there are still things you need to know: Lets imagine together, that a new Hi-Tech company wants to sell a new product they invented. Lets call that company "Techy". Now, Techy wants to let every one know about their new product, so they produce nice commercials, and they place huge posters on the streets. Oh! What a coincidence! They also use Google Adwords! Ok.. How exactly is this stupid 'Techy' company story relevant to me? I just want to make some money from my site! (or Blog..) Well if you want to make money through your Google adsense ads, you better listen hard. (Really hard.) This Techy company, makes Millions of dollars every month. (Because their product is really good..). Now, you remember that Techy is advertising their product through Google Adwords right? Good. Lets continue imagining. Your Blog/Site, reviews "New High-Tech Products", and you also have Google Ads. If you haven't noticed yet- Google is very very smart, and their technology is amazing. Google knows  how to put the exact suitable content in your site's ads. That's how and why their adsense program is so successful. And back to our story.. As we both now know, your site reviews High-Tech products, and "Techy" is a High-Tech company, who wants to let the whole world know about their new amazing product. Since Techy company has Millions of dollars, they wouldn't mind spending a few bucks for Google to advertise their product. Actually, because "Techy" is so rich, they are willing to pay Google lots of money for each click or impression, of their product. This is where you and your site come in- Google will place "Techy's" ads on your site, and you will earn huge sums of money for each click, or site impression which shows the "Techy" ad. You can earn up to 54$, or more, for each click! Look at this short list, of what different company's are paying Google- $54.33 mesothelioma lawyers $47.79 what is mesothelioma $47.72 peritoneal mesothelioma <a name="more"></a>$47.25 consolidate loans $35.67 car accident lawyer $21.12 plastic surgeryt $14.41 online gambling <div>$12.00 macintosh laptop ... For more KeyWords, just search Google for 'Adsense KeyWords'. You are welcome to use the search box on this Blog. By now, you must be falling a sleep on your computer screen. So wait, just one more second. If you really want to make money through your Google ads, make sure you do not attract 'New Tooth Brush' or 'Check out this NEW Toilet Seat' ads.. I doubt they pay much.. Have a nice day, and make sure you have the right KeyWords. Amigo.</div>

15 Great Google AdSense tips to earn money

Updated 20/7/09 Google AdSense Tip #1: Find your keywords Before serving ads on a web page, check its keyword density. A free and advanced tool for finding the most prominent keywords in a page can be found here: SEO Density Analyzer. Copy the most important keywords to a text file ([web page name]-Google AdSense-keywords.txt). Google AdSense Tip #2: Improve your keywords Get keyword suggestions from Overture Search Inventory and from Google AdWords Sandbox. Get new keywords that can help you improve your ad relevance. Enter the keywords from [web page name]-Google AdSense-keywords.txt and save the suggestions to [web page name]-Google AdSense-suggestions.txt. Google AdSense Tip #3: Keep your website focused on a theme Use the keyword suggestions to enhance your web pages and to build theme-based content. And also try to get your keywords into the anchor text of your incoming links as much as possible. Don't forget that Google Google AdSense is keyword-targeted advertising: Google Google AdSense bases its advert topics on your websites content, this means that content-rich websites of a popular topic should attract a large amount of ads. Google AdSense Tip #4: Write a new page every day One of the best tips is to add a new page to your web site every day. The more content you have, the more visitors you will get. Put an Google AdSense unit on each and every content page of your site. But where? You will find more about that from the next Google AdSense tips. Google AdSense Tip #5: Choose the right Google AdSense format Wider formats are successful because the ads are compact, easy to read and are complementary to the content. The top three Google AdSense formats are: 336x280 large rectangle 300x250 medium rectangle 160x600 wide skyscraper <a name="more"></a> Another successful format is the 468x15 horizontal ad links, that can be placed under your navigation bar. Google AdSense Tip #6: Color tips When creating your Google Google AdSense ads it is recommended to use the color scheme and style of your website so that the ads blend in well. Ads without background color and borders perfom better than ads within borders with background color. Create a custom Google AdSense palette: border color = background color of your web site background color = background color of your web site link color = blue, color of your links url color = black, #999999 text color = black, #333333, color of your main content You can also rotate your color palette: select multiple color palettes that blend with your site to create variety. Google AdSense Tip #7: Position tips Visitors tend to look at the big headlines to see if your page is worth reading. If you get them interested, they will read the text and look for your navigation links. Place the Google AdSense ads in a prominent place around the top/left part of your page or under your headlines, where your visitors are most likely to look at. If you have an article page with a long body of text, the bottom of that article is a good place for Google AdSense ads because your visitors read the text and then they want more resources. Google AdSense Tip #8: Increase the number of ads If you have a lot of text on a page, use multiple Google AdSense units. You can use up to three Google AdSense units on a page, two Google AdSense search boxes and one unit of ad links. Link units allow the user to refine what they're interested in. So if they may not be interested in specific ads on your page, they might be interested in a particular topic, and by clicking on a link unit and a link in the link unit, they'll be able to specify that they're interested in that specific topic and get a lot more options and variety on the ads that might appear. Google AdSense for Search allows visitors to search Google.com or your sites (up to 3 domains). You earn money whenever they click on the ads that come up on the search results. If you click the Open search results in a new browser window checkbox in the Google AdSense for Search settings, you won't lose your visitors. Google AdSense Tip #9: Preview Google ads You can find out what ads will be served by Google Google AdSense if you install Google Google AdSense Preview Tool, a very simple tool available only for Internet Explorer 6.0. Click to advertiser sites without generating invalid clicks, and easily add their URLs to your URL filter list. Because Google AdSense uses geo-targeting, Google serves different ads for other countries. Instead of faking your IP or travelling abroad to test your ads, use this Google AdSense tool to see what ads see your visitors from France, Germany or other countries. It's possible there are no Google Google AdSense adverts available for your webpage. Hide Public Service Ads, using alternate colors or images. Make sure you include the image in a simple html file as a link (use target="_top"). The image size should be the same as the dimension of Google AdSense units. In the alternate url box, enter the absolute url of the html file. Read more about alternate ads. Google AdSense Tip #10: What not to do Don't click your own ads Don't ask others to click on your Google ads Don't manually change Google AdSense code Don't place Google ads on sites that include prohibited content (e.g.: adult sites) Don't employ cloaking, hidden text or farm links Don't use Google AdSense ads on the same page with similar ads (e.g.: Yahoo Publisher Network) Google AdSense Tip #11: Show images above or next to your ads Placing images above Google AdSense ads is not necessarily prohibited by program policies. However, depending on the method of implementation this could be considered encouraging users to click on ads. So you should include a border line between the ads and the images. Don't show specific products in your images, in order not to mislead the visitors. Just use generic images that will increase the visibility of your ads. Google AdSense Tip #12: Use section targeting Use section targeting to emphasize some content in your page. On your site, place this code where you want to emphasize. Content you want to emphasize. If you want some content to be ignored, use Google AdSense Tip #13: Alternate the colors of your ads Google AdSense allows you to have up to 4 color variations for each variable for which you can specify color. You should do that if you put Google AdSense ads on pages that receive many impressions from the same visitors (for example forums) to reduce ad blindness. For example: google_color_border = ["628098","628098","000000","000000"]; google_color_link = ["000000","BBB90C","BBB90C","628098"]; google_color_url = ["000000","628098","000000","000000"]; google_color_text = ["628098","628098","000000","000000"]; Great for overcoming ad blindness. Google AdSense Tip #14: Your Google ads should be visible Make sure your text ads are visible to the surfers in all screen formats. If you put the ads in a table give sufficient breathing room, i.e. proper cell padding and cell spacing to make the ads stand out from the rest of your content. Google AdSense Tip #15: Use Google AdSense channels You can categorize the content of your website into channels and then track your performance. This way you can experiment with different types of ads and see which is performing the best. Instead of buying an Google AdSense tracker, you can enter the most important pages in your site and see how they are doing. Create up to 200 channels for Google AdSense. Amigo!

Tips for Improving AdSense Performance

Tear Down the Borders Remove borders on your AdSense ads. Web visitors eyes wander around the screen; borders stop them from wandering. Removing borders from your AdSense ads can lead to a significant boost in CTR. Use Matching Fonts Match the font of your site content to the fonts of your AdSense ads. Use Matching Colors Match the colors of your AdSense ads to the colors of your site content. Make the ads look like content and more visitors will look at them. One exception to the color matching rule is sites that are designed to appeal to scammers and spammers. Those sites sometimes perform better with highly contrasting colors. Use Blue Links Another exception to the color matching rule is to set the links in your AdSense ads to blue. Blue links tend to have a higher CTR than other link colors, because people have become used to clicking blue links. <a name="more"></a> Use Large Ads Larger ads outperform smaller ads. Wider ads also outperform more narrow ads. The Large Rectangle (336x280) is the best performing ad unit. Use Lots of Ads Google allows you to use three ad units and one link unit on each page. Use them all. The more ads you have, the higher your Page CTR will be. Place Ads Above the Fold "The fold" is industry jargon for "the part of the page that the user sees without scrolling down". This will vary depending upon the resolution of the users screen and the size of their browser window. Place as many ads as possible above the fold. Ads placed below the fold are seldom seen and seldom clicked. Place Ads on the Left Web users are accustomed to seeing menus on the left side of the web page. Move your menu to the right and place your AdSense ads on the left. Use the Heat Map Use the Google AdSense Heat Map to determine where to place ads. The darker spots are areas where users spend more time looking. Place your ads in the darker areas. Integrate Ads with Content Visitors will be reading your content. Keeps your ads as close to your content as possible to ensure that the visitors also look at your ads. Use Custom Channels Use AdSense's Custom Channels to test the performance of different ad sizes, placements, colors and fonts. Don't use Low-Paying Competing Ads Don't clutter your page with competing ads that don't pay. If a user clicks on an ad that pays you $.01, they are not clicking on an ad that pays you $.30. Use URL Channels Use AdSense URL Channels to determine which pages are making you the highest CTR, CPM, and earnings. Focus your efforts on building pages like those. Use an AdSense Reporting Package Google only supports 200 channels. If you have more than 200 pages, use <a href="http://www.internet-search-engines-faq.com/google-adsense-stats.shtml">AdSense reporting software</a> to give you more insight into your AdSense earnings. Don't Compete for Other Peoples High Paying Keywords If a keyword is on a list of high-paying keywords, that means that thousands of spammers are already competing for that keyword. Don't be a follower. There is no money in being one of the crowd. Do Compete for Your Own High Paying Keywords Monitor your AdSense URL channels to determine which keywords are making you the most money. Compete for those keywords. Build more pages optimized for similar keywords. Get inbound links for those keywords. Spend your time and efforrt on the keywords which are making you money. Increase Traffic In the long run, the best way to increase your AdSense revenue is to increase traffic to your web site. Hope you enjoyed it, Amigo!

Google Adsense Tips, Tricks, and Secrets- PART 2/2

<h2> Site Design and Integration</h2><a href="http://www.dotref.com/images/google-adsense-heat-map.jpg"></a> <a href="http://www.dotref.com/images/google-adsense-heat-map.jpg"></a>Once you know you are going to put adsense on your website you’re going to have to consider where to put it. If this is new site it’s easier, if it’s an existing site it’s more difficult. While there are some people who will be able to do it, in most cases I’d say if you just slap the adsense code in, you’ll end up with a frankensite monster (props to Tedster of WMW for the buzzword). While every website is different, <a href="http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/static.py?page=tips.html">Google has published some heat maps</a> showing the optimal locations. No surprise that the best spots are middle of the page and left hand side. Now I’ve done really well by placing it on the right, but you should know why you’re doing it that way before hand, and be prepared to change it if it doesn’t work out. Google has also has published a list of the highest performing ad sizes: <ul><li>336×280 large rectangle</li> <li>300×250 inline rectangle</li> <li>160×600 wide skyscraper</li> </ul>From the sites that I run, I do really well with the 336 rectangle and 160 skyscraper. My next best performing ad size is the 728 leaderboard, I don’t really use the 300 inline rectangle too often. So really it depends on how well you integrate these into your site. Placement can have a dramatic effect on performance. TIP: When working on a new site or new layout you may want to give each location it’s own channel for a little while until you understand the users behavior. Another ‘trick’ that can increase your CTR is by blending your adsense into your body copy. For example if your body copy is black, remove the adsense border and make the title, text, and URL black.TIP: Try changing all of your page hyperlinks to a high contrast color (like dark red or a bold blue) then change the adsense title to the same color. The one area where I’ve found blended ads don’t perform as well is forums, especially ones with a high volume of repeat members. Regular visitors develop banner blindness pretty quickly. One ‘trick’ to keep the ads from being ignored is to randomize the color and even the placement. As with any of the decisions about location, placement and color it’s a trade off. How much do you emphasize the ads without annoying your visitors. Remember it’s better to have a 1% CTR with 500 regular visitors as opposed to a 5% CTR with 50 visitors. TIP: For forums try placing the adsense ads directly above or below the the first forum thread. <h2>Using Images</h2>One of the latest ’secrets’ to make the rounds is using images placed directly above or below an adsense leaderboard. This has been used for a while but <a name="more"></a>came out in a digital point forum thread where a member talked about <a href="http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=17104">quadrupling their CTR</a>. Basically you set up the adsense code in a table with four images that line up directly with the ads. Whether or not this is deceptive is fuzzy and very subjective. Obviously four blinking arrows would be ‘enticing people to click’ and be against the adsense TOS. However placing pictures of 4 laptops over laptops ads isn’t, so use your best judgment here and look at it from the advertiser or Google’s perspective. If you have a question as to your implementation being ‘over the line’ write to adsense and ask them to take a look. As far as using the images, I’ve done it and can tell you it definitely works. You get the best results when the images ‘complete the story the ads are telling’. For example if you have ads about apple pies, use pictures of freshly baked apple pies, instead of granny smith, Macintosh, pink lady, and braeburn apples. TIP: Don’t limit yourself to using images only on that size ad unit, it works just as well with the other sizes, like the 336 rectangle. Added: I got a little criticizm for this and rightly so, as I wasn’t specific as I could have been. Do not use very identifiable brand name or products for your images. Use generic non-specific stock images whenever possible and appropriate. <h2>Multiple Ad Units</h2>Another way to increase ad revenue is to use multiple ad units. According to Google’s TOS you are allowed to post up to three ad units per page. Similar to standard search results the highest paying ad units will be served first and the lowest being served last. If there is enough of an ad inventory, place all three ad units. However you should pay attention to the payouts. Current assumption is you get 60% of the revenue (on a $0.05 click you get $0.03). So if a click from the third ad unit is only paying between 3 to 5 cents you may want to omit it from your page. This is one are where giving your ad units channels does have value. If one ad unit is getting a higher percentage of click throughs you’ll want to make sure the highest paying ads are being served there. TIP:Use CSS positioning to get your highest paying ads serving in the location with the highest CTR. <h2>Adsense in RSS</h2>With the growth of blogs and RSS feeds you’re starting to see adsense included in the feeds now. IMHO this doesn’t work, and here’s why: <ul><li>You only get to place one ad unit.</li> <li>You have no control over finding the ’sweet spot’ for the ad unit.</li> <li>The ads are usually poorly targeted (this is getting better).</li> <li>People develop ‘banner blindness’.</li> </ul>I know people like being able to read full postings in their feed reader, and there are at least a dozen other reasons for full posts from pleasing your users to mobile offline computing, all of which are completely valid. However if your website depends on generating adsense revenue to survive, then bring them to the site and show them the ads there. <h2>Affiliate Sites</h2>Placing Adsense on affiliate sites is tricky. Are you giving up a $10, $20, or $30 sale for a $1 click? This is something you have to test on your own to figure out. If you aren’t converting now it’s definitely worth a try. I like to use adsense on my article pages. For example let’s say you had an affiliate website where you sold shoes. You’re going to need some related articles to ‘flesh out’ the site. Things like ‘getting a shoe shine’ or ‘finding a shoe repair shop’ these are excellent spots for adsense. While you won’t get rich, they will usually provide a small steady income and cover things like hosting costs.TIP: If you find you have pages getting more than 50 clicks per month add more pages about this topic, and link the pages together. Mine you logs for the search terms used. <h2>PPC Arbitrage</h2>This is a dicey subject so I’m going to steer clear of precise examples. Basically you bid on low volume uber niche terms at a very low cost. You set up landing page that contains high payout ads for the related general topic. You are looking for terms with a large gap between the price you are bidding on adwords and the price you are getting on Adsense. If you pay $0.10 a click and get $1.00 a click you make $0.90 each click. To get your adsense ad approved you will need to ‘add some value’ along the way. You can make a killing or get taken to the cleaners with this one, so make sure you know what you are doing before you try it.

Google gives out secret trick to Improve CTR!!

One of the best tricks to improve your CTR (click threw rate), is to constantly make changes to your ads. I don't know how many of you even know about the option you have in your Adsense account, to select multiple color palettes, for 1 Adsense ad. What does this option do, how does it work, and why should I use it? It's very simple. Instead of you manually changing the way your ad looks every now and then, you can set it to be automatic, so it changes constantly with out you needing to do a thing. You'll have to ask Google exactly how it works.. But what I know is that it simply modifies the code which is generated, to have the option of changing the color palette. Why should you use it?! That's a good one.. Ok Ok.. I'll explain.. Assuming your site has visitors who come back to your site, or even if you don't, and most of your visitors are first timers and will never come back again, it is good to have a variety of ads. <a name="more"></a> Different ad colors attract different people, and it is good to mix and change constantly. People who come back to a site they have visited before, will suddenly notice a slight change in your site, and then they will look for the change, and see the different ad. Which means they got attracted to the ad (which is good). Now, since I know you'd love to have a screen shot tutorial of this terribly complicated process, I have created one.. I made it extremely easy to follow so you'll all be happy. You can find it right <a href="http://amigo-productions.blogspot.com/2006/10/tutorial-4-setting-multiple-adsense.html">Here.</a> That's the end of this tip/trick..

Adsense: Why Bloggers Don't Get It

In doing the research for my series of <a href="http://www.wolf-howl.com/2005/07/google-adsense.html">Adsense articles</a>, two common ideas kept getting repeated: <ul> <li>My Adsense ads are horrible, they only pay out (insert low dollar figure here) </li> <li>My Adsense CTR is horrible, I only get a (insert extremely low CTR here)</li> </ul> To be fair these comments weren’t coming just from bloggers, but bloggers did make up an overwhelmingly large percentage. I think this stems from a misconception on the part of the bloggers that they are entitled to high payout and CTR. I’d like to spend a little time to share my feelings on this subject. In the early days a blog may just have been an online diary or journal, but like the days of the Nehru jackets, they are gone. What a blog is now is Chronologically Structured Content Management System, as opposed to the classic web hierarchical structured implementation. Let’s be clear, you can still use a blog as your online diary or journal, but nowdays it’s just as likely to be used as a commercial blog. Yes, I did just say commercial blog, and no the earth didn’t open under my feet and swallow me whole for saying it. Let’s take some time to look at a your typical blog. You may post about commercial related subjects like your job, what you like to buy, or even your hobbies. However these posts are all about your life, they are no more commercially viable or attractive than say Aunt Millie’s Holiday Newsletter. Yes we all have an Aunt Millie in our family, every year she sends out a finely crafted newsletter in a coordinating envelope she ordered from paperdirect.com telling us all about her family. We learn how hard her husband works, how many activities her kids are in and how good they are at them. We also read the details of how her scrapbooking business hasn’t taken off yet, but she promises to spend more time on it right after New Years. So if you were a business owner would you want to advertise anywhere on Aunt Millie’s Newsletter? Then why would a business want to pay you top dollar to advertise on your blog? What’s that, you say your blog gets (insert a high number here) of readers per day, surely that has to be worth something? Well did you know Aunt Millie sends out over 800 copies of her holiday newsletter to 17 countries, on 4 continents? Now before you get all fired up about it, understand that I don’t have a problem with you having a personal blog or sharing it with the public. However your expectation that it has value outside of your family/friends/community, is a serious misconception. So what exactly is a commercially viable blog? Don’t think of it as publishing a blog, think of it as publishing an online magazine. You need to start out with good content or articles about a small area or niche topic. You will need lots of content, and unless you are well known, don’t expect much to happen until you’ve written at least 100 and more likely over 200 articles. Yes you will have to devote some time and effort to publicizing and marketing it as well. Once you’ve got a significant focused reader base, that’s the time to slowly ad in the advertising. Now here’s the one that causes lots of people to freak out. BE PREPARED TO GIVE UP SOME PRIME SCREEN REAL ESTATE, IN THE CENTER, ABOVE THE FOLD, TO ADVERTISING. If you’ve worked with print media at all you will know the middle of the right hand page is the most desirable spot inside of a magazine (excluding the cover pages). I’ve sat through meetings where people have said ” … you know we need more right hand pages …”. If you want people to click on your ads, you will need put them where they can see them, above the fold in the center of the screen, in a prominent location. Yes I can almost here the keys typing for the flame comments and emails now. Before you hit that send button though, ask yourself this, are you building a space sough after by advertisers, or are you working on Aunt Millie’s Newsletter? No I don’t think your pages should be filled with ads, in fact quite the opposite, there should always be more content than advertising, ALWAYS! Next thing, lose the fancy graphics and eye-candy from your template. Yes I know you may have paid for a fancy template, maybe you had your niece who’s a graphic artist design something for you, or you really like the way that spinning flaming platypus looks in your page header. Here’s the thing, it’s detracting from your content. Graphics should be simple, understated, and support the content, not overpower or compete with it. Now before some art student wearing a beret, corduroy jacket with elbow patches, and smoking a pipe or French cigarette, writes and calls me a Philistine, stop and think. Are you designing a commercially attractive and viable space, or are you designing an intricate macrame border for Aunt Millie’s Newsletter? Remember keep it simple and to the point. Yes I know you feel like I just ripped off the band-aid, and now it hurts. Sorry but someone had to do it. I know some of you are still out there reading saying ‘but can’t I still have this … do we have to get rid of this … I really like that …’. Well I’m not your second grade teacher who’s going to tell you everything’s all right, that you don’t have to change a thing, and put a scooby-doo sticker on your shirt to make you feel better. If you want a blog that makes you more money than you spend at Starbucks every Tuesday, you will need to get serious about what you’re doing. If none of this sounds incredibly fun, and really sounds pretty close to actual work, here’s the way I see it, getting an Adsense check for $5 is fun, getting an Adsense check for $500 or $5000 is work. Disclaimers: I don’t actually have an Aunt Millie, she’s a fictional character. But like you, I do have relatives who send out holiday newsletters. Yes I know the minimum Adsense payment is $100, so you never could get a $5 check, but I was just making a point, mmkay?
