6 Fast Method to Generate More Adsense Income
Posted on February 24, 2009 by admin
How much revenue do you generate from Google Adsense?
There has been a lot of discussion about people who earn over $10,000 a month just from adsense. Furthermore, there are rumors of a few individuals who earn over $1 million a year just from using the power of Google advertisements.
So what is Google Adsense and how can you use this program to earn a six-figure income?
Webmasters obtain a special code from Google which then displays targeted ads on their website. Whenever a visitor clicks on one of these ads, the webmaster earns a commission. Unlike other online businesses, there is no selling involved. All you need to do is get people to click on the ads.
Although this is an excellent way to generate an income, many websites are not effectively maximizing their Adsense potential. As a result, they are leaving a lot of cash on the table.
The question is how can you increase your Adsense revenue without increasing the number of web visitors?
The key to earning an income with Google Adsense is to have your ads match the rest of the site, making them look like part of your content. Your focus is to avoid having the adsense blocks look like blatant advertisements.
The following are six ways that you can do this and increase your revenue at the same time:
1)Find the right place – Most website visitors read content that is in the middle of a webpage. As a result, the best place to put your Adsense block is in the top part of the page, at the beginning of your web content. You want to weave the Google Ads into your web content to give the appearance that they are extra links which expand on the information of the page.
2)Use the Large Rectangle – With Google Adsense, you have the option of picking different ad formats. Most of the time people opt to use the Leaderboard (728×90) or Wide Skyscraper (160×600) style ads. Unfortunately, this is the wrong choice, because both look like blatant advertisements. Instead smart webmasters have found that using the Large Rectangle (336×280) yields the best amount of click-thrus.
3)Ditch the border – Many people experience a sharp increase in Adsense revenue when they changing their border. What they change is very simple, they get rid of the border on their Adsense blocks. This is another way to make the advertisements look like useful web content.
4)Adapt the font – Whenever you write content, it should be the same font size and style as your Google Adsense block. This will help make it appear that the advertisements are a natural part of your website.
5)Match the colors – In addition to changing the fonts, you also should match the colors of your website. For instance, if your content is written in black, and your hyperlinks are blue, then the Adsense blocks should also be the same color. Again, this helps the advertisements appear to be normal web content.
6) Don’t have too many distractions – On a webpage, it is important to give web visitor a limited number of options. By having too many links and graphics, the web visitor might go to a section that doesn’t help increase your profits. While it is important to inform and entertain your web visitor, it is also vital that you monetize your site. So if the main focus of your site is to earn an income through Google Adsense, then get rid of all non-essential links and graphics.
By taking the time to implement these six simple steps, you’ll see a dramatic increase in the click-thru ratio of your ads. If added to all of the content of your site, your adsense income will skyrocket!

Thanks man, great tips. I just found out recently that you could change the colors and such. My income almost doubled just by matching colors on my site better.

So in other words, try to deceive your users into clicking on ad links? Have I got that right?
Don’t you think advertisers will eventually catch on that AdSense is charging them for useless traffic? What do you think will happen to the amount of their bids?
I suggest looking up a concept called the Tragedy of the Commons.

Great tips. But Google says ads should look like ads and not site contents. Google may ban you for this.

Itochka, there is nothing wrong with this. Its not deceiving your readers to click, but to notice your ad as part of your content.
Agent101, Google wont ban you for this primarily because even Google says the same thing, make the ads look part of your content. You can read about that on Google Adsense Blog.

These are all great points. I like how you pointed out the large rectangle… even Google admits that its the best converting ad block.

Great tips! I have tried with the “Ditch the border” for quite some times and I mix my adsense ads into content, it worked quite well for me. Just to make sure that don’t put any “Click Me” or similar words around the adsense ads.
Wish you luck on your Adsense!

I have found that putting adsense on the bottom below the fold does not generate as much money as on top where people can see it. People need to see the ads. Also, having the ads be related to the content is important. For example, if your website is about gardening and you get ads about – industrial power PLANTS, you are not going to get many paying clicks.

I have applied some of these tips to the adsense block in my sidebar, plus added the ones in my RSS feed. Sometimes though, the one in my sidebar comes up with a border anyway. I hope the redesign helps them generate some clicks.
