How to Increase your Google AdSense Earnings?

December 4, 2009 - Last Modified: December 4, 2009 by Hesham Zebida

guest post

Google AdSense is one of the most common ways to monetize traffic on the Web but most of the webmasters/bloggers hardly make a decent amount from Google AdSense to cover their blog expenses as it take months to reach the Holy $100 amount which are required for the minimum Payout. But in this article I would be sharing some Ethical tips which would help you to increase the revenues from Google AdSense without getting your Account Banned.

High Paying Keywords: Find High Paying keywords in your niche and try to develop more content on your website for those keywords. Remember that same keyword which pays $1 for click in one country might pay you 1 cent for click in another country so do your research carefully.

Blend Ads: Google allows you to change the color and Font of your AdSense Code. Blend your Code effectively so that the color and theme of your AdSense ads match with the theme of your website.

Remove Borders: Ad units without borders and have same background color as of website gives better results as compared to ad units with borders.

Add Link Units: Link Units are list of topics relevant to your content and when a user click on topic Google will show him a page of ads related to topic. Adding link units near Navigation perform very well.

Place Ads in the Content: Placing blended ads between the content perform very well. But don’t overdo it especially when your posts are really small as it can make your users frustrated.

Positioning of Ads: Place where you are putting your ads is very important. Don’t put your ads on a location where they are hardly visible. Use enough white spaces around your ads so that they can attract the user attention.

Section Targeting: Section Targeting is a great way to tell Google about the sections and content of your website on which you want them to emphasize while matching ads to your site content. This feature would help you to improve the Relevancy of ads displayed on your website which would automatically increase the CTR and Revenues from AdSense.

adsense_logoBlock Low Paying Ads: You can use Google competitive ad filter to block the ads which pay as low as 1 cent for each click. These ads are mainly from MFA (Made for ads) sites which look for cheap traffic who can click high paying ads on their sites. You can sign up on Adsblacklist.com to find out the 200 MFA Sites relevant to your website and then block their ads. There is no Guarantee that blocking ads will increase your revenues because you can block a good low paying ad with high CTR. So keep observing your earnings.

Prefer Text Ads: Text ads work much better as compare to image and banner ads. Text Ad units -250×250 Square,160×600 wide skyscraper,336×280 large rectangle,300×250 medium rectangle perform better as compared to other ad units.

Increase Traffic: It is not a secret. More Traffic Your Will get, more people will click your ads and more money you would earn. Do SEO of your website to improve its organic rankings in your search Engines.

Reducing Number of Links: Reduce number of links to other page would reduce the options for visitors and would increase the user chances to click ads. Also you can open each link in new window which would give user one more chance to click an ad on the current page.

Keep Testing: This is the last tip. Keep tweaking your AdSense code and test different ad units on different positions of your website and analyze the revenues generated.

    I remember just over a year ago when my site had the same level of traffic (about 20k visits per month at the time) I made a simple change to ad format and placement and saw my AdSense earnings nearly double and stay doubled from the previous months. Then my earnings started jumping dramatically after I crossed the 50k mark. It took 3 years to reach it, but finally I am around 200+ per month AdSense earnings on average with about 50k unique visits per month.
  2. Dave Lucas says:
    Hesham, you always seem to come up with articles addressing questions that I'm thinking about! Are you a psychic? AdSense is so valuable, no one using it can afford to have it taken away... the sound advice Hesham gives here is worth PRINTING HARD COPY and hang it on your bulletin board! WAy to go, H! Blog On!
  3. Karan says:
    Adsense is an easy and fast way to make money if you know how to implement your traffic so your earnings could be greater. This is a great way to make easy money without a product.
  4. anuj says:
    i orginally started with adsense on one of my sites but then began to relize there was better opportunity to make money than adsense. I think you need to work to hard to get adsense earning even if your ads are in the proper place on your site for optimal clickthough
  5. Suresh Khanal says:
    Increase earning through Adsense is a topic of always interest. I learned two things from this post that I was not following. Providing sufficient space around ads and providing least links. I agree, they will certainly work. Regarding colors and formatting, my experience says that it is better they stand out rather than blend with site design. Talking about high paying keywords, it is always tricky. Earning occurs when user clicks and it is harder to guess from where he clicks it. .-= NEW from Suresh Khanal´s last blog ..Google Changed Search Result Page, How to Get The Old Back? =-.

  24. John Paul says:
    Very Nice list. Adsense can be a great way to make money on your blog, the only thing is if you sell a affiliate product or sell your own product make sure and monitor closely what google ads are being run on your site. You don't want to be competing with yourself,..lol
    • Hesham says:
      Nice tip John, I actually don't put attention to this.. I will open my eyes more a little bit :)
      • John Paul says:
        Any time. I never put much thought into it either, untill I slowly would notice product ads that matched what I was selling, no matter how many filters I used on Adsense, they still showed. Just something to keep an eye on since making 20$ aff com is better then making .50 or less for a click..lol

    Hesham, Thanks for the post and for all of the kinds words and support you have given me recently. I have a question, I don't know much about researching keywords, can you give me some pointers on how and where to find good ones? It seems like something that might change from day to day, sort of like trending topics on twitter. Does that sound right? This post gets my vote and my retweet. Thanks again! .-= ileane´s last blog ..Blog Engage Activity for Ms. Ileane Speaks in November =-.
    • Hesham says:
      To see what is changing day by day,, simply open Google on your browser, type on the search box the first letter of any word you would like "don't press enter", wait a little bit.. you will see that Google will give show you what people are searching most today about this word or words that you have typed. Another thing I am using before setting the keywords for my post is using Google Keyword tool, it's a free tool and very useful.. give it a try.. here is the link: Google Keyword tool
      • ileane says:
        Hesham, Thanks for the link. I was surprised and disappointed to see that when I searched by my url the primary words that showed up are "make money blogging" or something similar. I think it is great that people are making money from blogging but since it is something that I don't have experience in, I have no plans to rehash other articles that I've read on the subject. I think that I am going to explore some other options like affiliate marketing instead. I'll keep you posted and continue to research this before I move forward. I'll start by searching your blog and Blog Engage for more resources. .-= ileane´s last blog ..Blog Engage Activity for Ms. Ileane Speaks in November =-.
        • Hesham says:
          All of us still learning here, I am sure that after sometime you can optimize your blog in the way you like! keep visiting as we are going to have some exciting and useful posts regarding our contest here! and I am sure you will find more quality posts on BlogEngage!
