Top 25 Google Adsense Tips
Monday, September 04, 2006
Bloggers have been enjoying good payments from Google Adsense programme. As far as I know, Google Adsense is the easiest way to earn money through blogging. So if you own a blog and have not put AdSense yet, consider to do so.
There are many tips you can find online on how to increase your Adsense earnings. I picked the 25 tips that currently work for me.
1. Don’t encourage your visitors to click on ads. I see lots of violations on this. The only acceptable text is “Sponsored Links” and “Advertisements”.
2. Viewing your own website will not get you banned. Just make sure you don’t click on the ads. However, repeatedly reload your page to jack up page impressions can get you banned.
3. Learn HTML.
4. Submit your URL to search engines for crawling and to online directories for inclusion, e.g. yahoo blog directories. There are also many blog directories existing, you just have to search them.
5. Invest for original fresh content. This is very true. When I started to update daily, I noticed my articles appearing more often on the first page of search engines. Thus, write for contents regularly.
6. This is very important. Don’t use objectionable methods to draw visitors to your site; buying traffics, spyware, hidden-texts, page cloaking etc. You'll get your AdSense account terminated in no time. You can read about Adsense vs. Manual Surfing.
7. Don’t create mirrors. These are sites with different URLs but same contents. It hurts search engine ranking.
8. Follow good design guidelines. Here's a tip from Google that surely works.
9. Use 300×250 medium rectangle or 336×280 large rectangle ad formats. These are the best performing AdSense ad formats I know.
10. Let your ad colors blend with your content.
11. Try to use the Google Search unit. They provide value to your visitor.
12. Read tips from Darren Rowse.
13. Experiment. Try new ad formats. Vary AdSense colors, format, position on different pages to make it more unpredictable for your visitors. Change and improve your ads.
14. Some topics are attractive to visitors. Others are not. So, try to put contents on different subject topics. If one topic can draw visitors, write more on that.
15. I am doing this: break your long articles to few short articles. This way the users are exposed to the ads for more times.
16. Watch your blog statistics. Google Analytics can do that for you. It tells you everything you want to know about how your visitors found you and how they interact with your site.
17. Be patient. It takes time to build the traffic, and to optimize it.
18. I still have to try this one. It works for few people I know. You can put your clickbank, amazon, or other affiliate links on the same page with AdSense. You can also put other advertising network, so long as it is not contextual ads.
19. Follow the Terms and Conditions, otherwise your AdSense account will be disabled and you’ll get banned for life.
20. Promote your blog. Spread the link: put it on your email signature, put comment on other blogs, participate in forums.
21. If your AdSense account is disabled without you doing any fault: write them a polite and professional email, be patient and be persistent. Offer them your server logs to prove your innocence.
22. Search engines are where most of your new visitors come from. Learn a bit about Search Engine Optimization, or pay people to do it.
23. Consider signing-up for Google AdWords.
24. Search “AdSense Tips” on Google. Other bloggers continuously try to optimize their AdSense and are more than willing to share their result.
25. Put in lots of efforts in creating contents and promoting your blog. AdSense is not a get-rich-quick scheme, afterall. Thanks to Link.

Hi, i have had a read of your blog and I have found it very useful. I have two blogs on a similar topic. Would you be interested in a link exchange?
http://matt608.blogspot.com (Successful Online Money Making !) - is my most popular blog
and
http://aglocomembers.blogspot.com (AGLOCO blog) - is less popular, but you can exchange links with that aswell if you want.
I am aware your site has more inbound links than mine, so perhaps if I link to you on both, and you just link back to the one I specify?
If you are interested just leave a comment on my blog.
Keep up the great blog,
Matt
