Google Adsense Tips and
Tricks... by Pat Watt
Every single website and its owner have the
opportunity to make some great money by
displaying Google Adsense ads on it. Although
many webmasters are making a nice income with
these ads, many aren't. Many people say that all
you have to do is put up a website and you'll be
making over $100 a day with Google Adsense. It
does sound simple and it is, but you will need
to optimize your site so that you do generate
more and more clicks on the ads that are sitting
on your site.
The first thing that you need to do is to Place
the Google Adsense ads in the right spot of the
page. This will determine how much money you
will make each day. It is very important that
you place the ad at the top of the page (above
the fold) on your website in order to get the
most clicks.
What this really means is that you will want to
place the Adsense code that Google gives you
high enough on the page so that your visitors do
not have to scroll down to see the Google ads.
If you choose to have the ads right at the top
above everything else then do that.
By placing the Google Adsense ads at the top of
your website above the fold, there is a greater
chance that people will click on the ad, which
will help your site generate a higher click
through rate also known as CTR. The reason for
this is because the majority of your visitors
will not scroll down the page and look at it. A
lot of the time, people look over the top part
of the page without worrying about scrolling
down.
The way you blend the ads with the rest of your
page can determine if the ad is visually
appealing or not. It is very crucial to make the
Google Adsense ads look like your site and not
another ad. You can do this by making the font
and color of the ad's text similar to the rest
of the page. I also recommend that you blend the
background of the ad with the background of your
page. It should basically have the same color.
Google gives you the option to go into your
account and customize your ads in different
fonts and colors. This will help you blend the
ads to your site. Make sure that you don't use
the banner ads on your site because this will
decrease your click through rate.
People who visit your website usually try to
avoid any banner and picture ads that they see.
If you want to increase your click through rate,
you will want to add text ads. Google gives you
that option so use it.
Here are some other small tips to increase your
Adsense income:
1. Google has confirmed that using the 336x280
rectangle ad block size does have the highest
click through rate. Using this ad size will
increase your click through rate and the income
that you generate.
2. Using a blue underline for the links can also
improve your click through rate. This allows the
ads to actually stand out and look clickable.
If you follow the advice given above, you can
improve your CTR and make more money with Google
Adsense.
