5 Killer Tips To Boost Your AdSense Earnings

For many people all over the world, Google AdSense presents a new kind of earning opportunity that allows them to work from the comforts of their own homes without having to report for work as their own boss.  Such an opportunity was previously unheard of.  Nowadays, any person can build a content-driven website and enroll with the Google AdSense program, and they can potentially earn a lot of profit in the process.

And when I say a lot, I do mean A LOT.  Some webmasters report earnings of up to $12,000 per month running multiple websites enrolled under the AdSense program.  Others run single websites, and they earn as much as $4,000 with the same.


Lost in these stories of amazing success are the webmasters who struggle with AdSense, those who have to settle for mere cents per day, if at all.

Where do they fail?  Where do the successful entrepreneurs succeed?

Here are 5 killer tips that will help any webmaster realize the promising potentials of an online enterprise enrolled with the AdSense program.

1. Keywords, keywords, keywords.  The heart of an online business focused on earning from AdSense is the selection of the right keywords, as well as the proper usage for the same.  The ads that Google will send to your website will depend on the dominant keywords present in your content.  Google AdSense ads are contextually relevant, meaning, they are connected to the subject of your content.  And the subject of your content will be reflected on your choice and usage of certain keywords.  Your website may be about dogs, but if a page will mention the keyword “cat” more than the term “dog,” then you might attract the wrong ads.  Furthermore, internet users will find your website through the keywords you will use.  So choosing the right keyword is very, very important for your campaign.

2. Have you underestimated the importance of traffic?  Traffic is the lifeblood of any online business, and this includes endeavors concentrating on AdSense.  Without traffic, who will be there to click on your ads, right?  So it is very important to implement all the existing strategies that will help you gain the traffic that you will definitely need.  These strategies include SEO tactics, article marketing, forum marketing, link building, and even pay per click advertising.

3. You may be attracting the right visitors, but are you attracting the right ads?  Since the AdSense program is carried out by a mechanical system, some glitches are to be expected.  Even if you use the right keywords, the ads that will be displayed on your web pages may still be different from what you have been expecting.  To check the ads of particular keywords, simply run a search on Google using the said term.  Look at the ads that will appear on the right side of the results page.  More or less, these are the ads you should be expecting.  For a more comprehensive listing of possible ads, You can use the free tool that can be found at digitalpoint.

4. Ad placement is an integral part of the process.  There are proper places where you should place your ads and there are wrong places for the same.  It’s as simple as that.  If you place your ads in areas that are proven to be spots for ad blindness, then no one will click on them.  But if you place your ads in places that make them logical parts of your web page, your click through rate will increase dramatically.  Great spots are the right side of your page, as well as the top portion right below the page header.  These are the places where the navigation bars are usually found.

5. Choice of ad presentation can spell the difference.  Leader board and horizontal banners are usually poor choices.  Users have associated them with blatant ads.  You’d have better chances with rectangular link ads, as well as horizontal text links on top of the page.

The Irony of Information Overload

When it comes to Internet marketing, there are a number of woeful ironies. None is worse than the irony of informational overload. Whenever someone asks for advice from seasoned Internet marketers, they will almost always get a reply that goes something like this “first, develop an information base through self-education; then, take action and continue to stay abreast with new developments.” Digital Media Marketing This is excellent advice, but unfortunately, many people fail in the self-education phase. They attempt to take in too much too fast – and are unable to analyze any of it well enough to actually put it into practice. This is also apparent in non-IM niches. Many people who simply receive too many information products will often stop reading them altogether. Even though they could benefit greatly from the information, they have developed a negative connotation that prevents them from considering it. This is important to keep in mind when attempting up-sal...
