Just as you should optimize your pages for the search engines, you should optimize Adsense for your visitors.  You don’t want to trick your users into clicking on your ads (in order to ensure the continuation of the program, it’s important that advertisers receive visitors that convert to sales), but you absolutely want to make sure your visitors notice the ads.  The following five tips will help:

#1 Make sure there is enough keyword rich content (text) on your pages so Adsense can figure out what ads to display instead of showing Public Service Announcements.  In particular, ensure you have used your keywords in your title and H1 tags.

#2 Blend the background and border to match the page’s background.  You don’t want to trick visitors into clicking, but you don’t want them deadened by banner blindness either.

#3 Put Adsense where people will notice the ads.  This is a big one.  Try above the fold and within the content.  If you use CSS, a floating box works nicely.  Definitely, don’t stick the ads way over on the right side of the page or below the fold.

#4 Don’t put a lot of other ads on your page that will distract visitors from Adsense (or your content for that matter).  Cluttered pages make it hard to find things, detracting from usability.

#5 Don’t use words in your content that will trigger Public Service Announcements (for example, text related to violence is a big no-no).

We all know that when it comes to adsense that it’s a numbers game i.e. the more websites you have out there means more revenue gained. One way of squeezing more revenue from adsense is to create more and more adsense websites. The idea is to keep building adsense websites and get them out there until you are satisfied with your monthly income, it might take 10, 20, or even 50 adsense websites until you are earning a substantial income from adsense alone.

You are probably thinking right now – How in the world am I supposed to create 50 websites with adsense on them when it took me 3 months to create one? Well there is a way and it is so cool that you will laugh an be amazed when you are doing it. You don’t even need a domain, well, you need one domain and just create folders for the other ones based on your domain website. You only need to create one page websites with adsense on them, and they are all hosted with your web host within your one real domain.

You can create an adsense website in 15 minutes, and as time goes on and you become more efficient you’ll be turning out adsense websites in 5 minutes, as many as you like to turn out a day. It is so simple.

Now you are probably thinking – Tell me how I can create an adsense website in 15 minutes and have it up and running generating revenue for me?

Here is a quote that I came up with a few years ago that you may be able to use and make sense of, It certainly helped me to get things done. It’s called “DO IT” – It’s better to do it than not to do it, because if you don’t do it, you’ll be sorry you didn’t, but when you’ve done it, you’ll be glad you did it – So Do IT.

Like anything in life, the thought of doing something worth while and constructive is much worst than the actual application. The trick is to just do ahead and do it, you’ll be glad you did it.

By now you are probably thinking – enough of the nonsense talk just tell me how I can create so many adsense websites without domains?

Okay I’ll tell you, you’re very impatient. Just follow the Google Cash link below after my name and if you like what you see, then get going. It’s time you started to increase your adsense earnings 10 fold and beyond. Here we go.

Every year, more people are coming online. And every year, people struggle to figure out how to tap into the economic engine powered by the Internet. The one thing that newcomers to the Internet frequently fail to realize is that those of us, who are making the most money online, spent years learning our trades.

The good news is that Internet newcomers have one major advantage that my mentors and myself did not have when we started our online enterprises. The newcomers have people like us who are willing to teach others what they have learned.

First And Most Important Lesson To Learn

There are three kinds of commercial websites on the Internet: product/service merchants, advertising providers, and non-profit websites.

Now, the Red Cross and the United Way are non-profit websites by choice and mission. But, the majority of non-profit websites on the Internet were designed to be for-profit websites, but the website owner will have been lucky to have earned enough to pay their web hosting costs.

By the end of this article, I hope that I will have provided you enough information to be able to turn any non-profit website into a profit generating machine.

Merchants sell services. They also sell products made by others or themselves. Some merchants produce their own informational books and e-books, on a wide variety of topics.

Many people make the mistake of assuming that they do not know anything of value that other people would want to know. But, that just isn’t true. Call me an optimist if you will, but I believe everyone knows something that other people would be willing to pay a certain amount of money to learn.

Ii is a fact that some of the smartest online entrepreneurs I know make a lot of money by writing and selling books and e-books, on topics ranging from cryptograms (http://www.cryptogramsbylouise.com/), to how-to cure acid reflux (http://www.refluxgoneforever.com/), to finding the hero within (http://www.herosoul.com/), to how to be more successful with an online business.

I have bought many e-books and I have to say that some were better than others, but all of them helped me to learn what I needed to know in order to be successful with whatever endeavor I was undertaking.

Advertising Providers build websites with the intent of attracting a huge and loyal audience, so that advertisers will consider their website to be a good place to spend their advertising dollars.

In those dark days before Google Adsense (http://adsense.Google.com) and Yahoo’s Publisher Network (http://publisher.yahoo.com/), we little guys were just tough out-of-luck if we wanted to sell our advertising space through a larger network of advertisers.

I remember having a website that was finally serving one thousand unique page views per day, or 30,000 page views per month. I remember thinking that it was time for me to see whom I could sell advertising space. So, I started doing my research.

I looked at one advertising network, and then another, and another. Without fail, most advertising networks required one million page views per month in order for a website to participate in their network. I was just poop out of luck.

So, I started advertising space on my site to my visitors. I sold some advertising, but I did not make a living doing it. The main issue here is that the people on my site are looking to learn about travel and other things, and advertisers generally spend their time on sites learning about doing business online.

Then in 2003, it all changed with the rollout of Google Adsense. Suddenly, all I needed to do was to apply to participate in Google’s program. On approval, I could add one little piece of javascript code to my website, and I could start earning money from Google immediately, by making their client’s advertising available on my own website.

Finally, my information website had a method for earning money that did not require for me to spend all of my waking hours chasing one sale after another.

Some Background

When I started my first online business, I had set up an Yahoo store (http://www.yahoo.com). I did very well with it, but after a couple years, I realized that I did not want to keep doing the same thing for the rest of my life.

Three rooms of my home were committed to storing merchandise that I was buying for resale. When I made a product purchase, I had to take photos and then sit down to my computer, upload the image and make an appropriate product description. Then I had to spend all of my spare time, making new listings at Yahoo and running to the post office to ship the merchandise I had sold.

One day I realized that the reason I had started my business is to provide my family a better standard of living. I had accomplished that goal, at the cost of time with my family. I was literally working from the moment I got out of bed, until I collapsed into my bed at the end of the day.

After parting ways with Yahoo, I researched other profit models and settled on a membership site. In order to be successful with a membership website, one must be willing and able to add new good quality content to the website at least three or four times per week. That is a job in itself.

While my membership site did well monetarily, I found myself in a position similar to when I had my Yahoo store. I was spending all of my spare time with my business and not my family.

Finally, I Wrapped My Head Around The Solution

What I needed for myself was a website where I could sell other people’s products and services, then let the other person handle the entire process of collecting the money and delivering the product or service. I needed to build my business in such a way that I could build my website, when I wanted to invest the time, and I could collect my checks at the end of the month.

The advertising website is the best kind of site to have when your goals are the same as mine.

So, I embarked on building a website that had information on a wide variety of topics.

Three years after I started my current website, Google launched their Adsense program. I applied to Google’s Adsense program and was accepted within just a few days. I then applied my Google Adsense code to my website.

Over the years, I have been building links to my website so that people could find me. The articles and directory links have produced good traffic results for me on a consistent basis, since I started the process of building them.

The Next Lesson Can Literally Double And Triple Your Income

When you undertake to design a website that will host advertising, don’t be shy about it!

• Don’t stick your advertising in a corner somewhere; • Don’t design your advertising to look like something other than an advertisement; • Don’t be afraid to test your advertising placement; • Don’t be afraid to tell people that they can buy advertising on your website; • Don’t be afraid to charge good money to advertisers to have a placement on your website.

Don’t be afraid and don’t be shy. Your reason for putting advertising on your website is to give YOU a way to make money from your work. But, in order to keep your advertisers happy, you need to make sure that they get a good return for their investment.

When you can help your advertisers make money, then you will by extension earn money from your website. It is a beautiful concept; when I help put money in my advertiser’s pockets, they put money in my pocket.

Specific Tips To Maximize Your Advertising Click-Through Rates (CTRs)

The default link color on the Internet is blue; so make the links in your advertising blue.

The default text color on the Internet is black; so make the text in your advertisement black or whatever color is the default text color on your website.

Make your advertisement block stand out from the rest of the content on the page. Putting your ads directly in your visitor’s face is good. Within a text block, I have found the 300×250 to be the most effective ad block size. To see an example of the 300×250 text block in action, view my blog here: http://www.clintondouglasiv.com

Other ad block sizes that we have seen good results include: the 728×90 leaderboard, 468×60 banner, and the160×600 wide skyscraper.

Be The Next Advertising Success Story

I advised a friend of mine to make these kinds of changes on his own website. He already had great traffic, but he was not making as much money as I thought he should be making.

On my suggestion, he changed his Google ads from the bottom of his left sidebar to the main part of his pages. He told me that his CTR increased from 0.8% to 2.4%. I told him to change his ads from the 468×15 link unit to the 468×60 banner ad. He told me that his CTR increased from 2.4% to 4.7%. Then I told him to change his links from black to blue. Within just a few weeks, he reported back to me that his click-through rates jumped again, this time from 4.7% to 7.8%. He even reported that on some individual days, his new layout generated as high as 11.4% CTRs.

On my friend’s website, his CTR jumped from 0.8% where it had been for a couple years, since he started using Google Adsense, to 7.8% on average. While most webmasters will see an average increase of two- to three-times, my friend has experienced a nearly tenfold (+9.75%) increase in his advertising revenue through that website.

What could you do with ten times more advertising revenue from your website? You will never know until you implement these kinds of changes on your website to increase your own advertising revenue.

All of the internet marketers eagerly awaited the big launch of Project Black Mask Adsense. It is an ebook from the man who authored the successful affiliate marketing guides – Affiliate Project X and Day Job Killer which broke the records of Clickbank. Everyone of us would be surprised to see the records that Chris has set with his writings – Affiliate Project X was sold more than 6,000 copies in its first week and Day Job Killer ebook which sold over 7,000 copies on the first day of its release. Naturally one could expect hype in Chris next release. As a part of launch discount, the new product was priced at $77. So I thought I could save a minimum of $20 and bought the much awaited internet marketing guide. When I read ‘Project Black Mask‘, I was completely stunned and shocked. The author, Chris McNeeney, has revealed a major loophole in Google’s system that will allow affiliates to get floods of traffic for absolutely ZERO cost. Project Black Mask teaches you how to make money online from the FREE and high-conversion web traffic. Even though the main source to make money remains Adsense but it also includes other primary sources such as affiliate programs. After reading the book, I don’t think Google will allow this to continue. I would rate Project Black Mask techniques as Black Hat. But one thing is for sure, Project Black Mask’s cutting edge techniques are being used by many of the black maskers in the industry to make money online. Though the ideas are not new, but with his project, Chris has successfully made the black mask techniques open to the public. My sincere advice is if you are honest and ethical do avoid Project Black Mask. But if you want to take the Black Hat, Instant and Free Clicks Short-cut, then Project Black Mask is the one for you.
