26 Self-Tested Working Google Adsense Tips that could increase your ad revenue


  1. Strictly follow rules mentioned in Adsense policies

  2. Never modify the Google Adsense code HTML

  3. Don't ask your web audience to click on Google ads

  4. Don't click on your own ads - Google is much smarter than you think

  5. Don't place ads in pop-up windows or error pages

  6. Don't start another "student consolidation" or "home equity loan rates" website. It will never make money. Instead, write on what you are passionate about. Don't waste your money on high-paying adsense keywords lists.

  7. For short articles, CTR is best when ads are placed just above the content

  8. For long articles, CTR improves if ads are placed somewhere in middle of the content

  9. Use Text Ads instead of Image Ads as users get more options

  10. The ad border color and background color should be same as the page background color

  11. Always put ads above the main fold

  12. Eliminate the ad link URL by setting its color same as your page background color

  13. The large rectangle is definitely the best paying adsense format (336x280)

  14. Placing images next to ads or above ads does help in attracting user attention.

  15. Blend AdLinks with other navigation links or place horizontal adlinks at the top of your webpage.

  16. Organize an Adsense Party for your friends and colleagues- Request them to navigate your website, watch their activity - it will provide vital clues about which regions on your website draw more user attention. Try putting ads near those areas. (Thanks Darren)

  17. Try to place a large skyscraper on the right sidebar. That area is close to the browser scrollbar.

  18. The first few lines of your content are an important factor for determining what Ads are served on your webpage. That's the right place to put keywords in bold or header tags.

  19. Google search box doesn't pay very well but still something is better than nothing. So don't make the mistake of not using it

  20. Maximum people think the search box is on the top right corner. So you know where to put it.

  21. Don't syndicate full content. After all, ads are on your website.

  22. Use URL channels to determine performance of individual pages. I track my most popular pages with Statcounter and create a channel for each of the URL.

  23. For low CTR pages, try changing titles or adding more content to get better focused ads

  24. Block low paying advertisers with Filters. Why let somebody leave your website for 0.01 cents.

  25. Google will tell you what people are looking for on your website. Focus and improve that content.

  26. Not everyone has a RSS reader. Use FeedBlitz or Bloglet to let users subscribe to your blog by email.

I do not emphasize too much on others tips, but be sure to focus on the line that says "don't ever click on your own ads" + "don't ever encourage your friends to click for u" ... You may ask "Why?" ... well I just got my account banned for my friends frequent clicks (a sincere advice from Avatar)!

Can You Choose Your AdSense Ads? By Joel Comm AdSense delivers great click-throughs and high revenues for one reason: the ads are targeted to what the user wants. Google's robot picks out keywords on your page, gets a grip on what your website is about and delivers links that take users to sites that interest them. That's great news... up to a point. As much as you want your users to click on ads that look interesting, you might not want to trust to a robot to pick those ads - and you might prefer to have ads on your page that pay the highest amount possible for each click. But you don't get the choice. You can do lots of things to improve your AdSense revenue, from selecting the layout of your ad unit to choosing the color and size of the font, but one thing you can't do is slip into Google's database and choose the ads. If you could do that, no one would ever choose the low-paying ads. That doesn't mean you can't do anything at all though. The fact is, som...

The #1 Biggest Mistake That People Make With Adsense By Joel Comm It's very easy to make a lot of money with AdSense. I know it's easy because in a short space of time, I've managed to turn the sort of AdSense revenues that wouldn't keep me in candy into the kind of income that pays the mortgage on a large suburban house, makes the payments on a family car and does a whole lot more besides. But that doesn't mean there aren't any number of mistakes that you can make when trying to increase your AdSense income - and any one of those mistakes can keep you earning candy money instead of earning the sort of cash that can pay for your home. There is one mistake though that will totally destroy your chances of earning a decent AdSense income before you've even started. That mistake is making your ad look like an ad. No one wants to click on an ad. Your users don't come to your site looking for advertisements. They come looking for content and their first instin...
