Google Adsense-7 Tips

Google AdSense: 7 Tips For Creating Sites That Make Money

Having a Google AdSense site is a great way to make money. And to create an AdSense site, all you have to do is have a Google AdSense account (which is free), a website or a blog (which is free), and some articles (which are free if you write them yourself). Once you get your site up and running, the AdSense ads will be targeted to your content.

Therefore, those looking for your content will come by, read your articles, and have a high probability of being interested in the targeted ads. Every time someone clicks an ad, you get paid! That is, as long as you have designed your site to maximize AdSense clickthroughs!

Let's look at seven tips for creating AdSense sites that create money.

#1: Keyword Density

Before you place ads on your site, be sure your keyword density is good. You will want to be sure that the right kinds of ads are placed on your site. A free way to determine what the ads will look like on your site is to go to http://www.resultsgenerator.com/adsense/ and type in your keywords. You will then be able to see exactly what ads would show on your site.

If you don't like what you see, then you know that you need to make changes to your keywords! You can get keyword suggestions from Results Generator from Overture or from the free trial version of Word Tracker.

#2: Focused

Not only will the ads be based on your keywords, but they will also be based on your content. You definitely want your keywords and your content to match as closely as possible.

#3: Write Often

The more information you have the better. Why? Because the more content you have, the more visitors you get. Many people suggest that you write a new article every day since no one wants to come back to your site to find the same old messages!

#4: Choose The Right Format

AdSense allows you to choose many different ad formats. Research has shown that wider ads are more successful. The top three formats are:

" 336x280 large rectangle
" 300x250 medium rectangle
" 160x600 wide skyscraper

Additionally, the 468x15 horizontal ad link under the navigation bar is also a good bet.

#5: Color Counts

You have the option to create a Google AdSense ad in any color of your choice. The best thing to do is to make your ad blend well with your site color scheme. You should make the border color and the background color the same color as your web site. You will want your text color to either be black or the color of your main content.

When creating your 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.

#6: Position Counts, Too

It is well known that visitors to a website scan the site to determine if it is worth reading. You definitely want them to see and scan your AdSense ads. Therefore, the best place to put them is in the top left part of your page or directly under your headlines.

#7: Increase The Number

AdSense allows you to use up to three AdSense units on a page, two AdSense search boxes, and one unit of ad links. Using all that you can increases the chances of earning money.

Keep these seven tips in mind when creating your AdSense site and you will find that your clickthrough rates increase, thus increasing your money making potential.

So, you've decided you need more TRAFFIC!

One thing I've noticed since I've had my online business is nobody ever tells you
the amount of traffic you'll need in order to make sales. When I first started, I went
on a few traffic exchanges, surfed about 100 pages on each traffic exchange, and figured
that 500 people had seen my offer. That seemed like a good enough number that at least
a few people would want what I was selling. I tried this a few times with several
different products and no sales. Hmmmm....what's wrong with my offer? Must be the
product? I guess I'll see what else is out there. I tried this for about the first month
jumping from thing to thing and no sales. Hmmmmm...what's the problem here?
No matter what type of product I was selling, the salesman never told me how high
the numbers were for me to really make any sales. For instance, I joined a new matrix
type program that had hit the market and was allowing everyone to sign up for free. When
people did an upgrade I made bonus cash. My sponsor told me that traffic swarm was
one of the best traffic exchanges. I went and placed my ad and URL and waited again.
When I called my sponsor again, to ask what else I should be doing, he told me that
he had 85 ads on traffic swarm, all pointing to the same program! I couldn't believe it.
Move over to the next big program, i decided to give a try to. I belonged to about 25
traffic exchanges at that time and thought I was hot to trot. Then, my sponsor in that
program told me she belonged to 100 traffic exchanges. I couldn't believe someone could
manage all those traffic exchanges. I couldn't even get my clicking done on my 25?
Now, my sponsor in my current program tells me I need at least 200,000 hits to my
homepage per month to really see some action for myself? What's a poor little new net
marketer to do?
Well, here's my tip for the week. One thing you have to do is get off the
clicking treadmill. You do that by building a large downline in your traffic exchanges so
that you're building up credits by your downlines surfing efforts. This greatly frees
up your time to do other things like sending to safelist, building niche sites, working on
your google adsense pages, posting to forums with your signature and program, and any
number of more engaging activities then giving yourself eyeball strain looking at web
page after webpage of offers on traffic exchanges.
There are alot of great downline building programs out there that support this
activity. Traffichoopla, Traffic Tornado, 10,000 hits per day system, cyberwheelers,
and JoeShmo200 are some of my personal favorites. So, if you see one of these on
a traffic exchange, stop clicking and go build your downline.
