7 Guaranteed Ways to Increase your AdSense Revenue

#7 Use Bigger sizes. Bigger ads = Bigger dollars. Who cares if they completely take over your site. (OK maybe your readers do.)

#6 Ad MORE units. This one is a no brainier, but the more ads you have on a page, the more ad revenue you will make. Sure, there is a law of diminishing returns, but that will only affect each ad unit, not the overall revenue.

#5 is Change your Colors. This one is easy to do and will help your $, but most people are just too lazy and use the default colors. (me too:)

#4 Jam the Ads in key spots. Sure you should have content at the top of the post, but the bloggers who jam AdSense units right at the top of the post make more money than you do…

#3 Stuff keywords everywhere. It is the spam blogs that generate the bulk of Google’s long tail revenue, you know the sites, they contain virtually no real information, just a bunch of nonsensical keywords related to what you are really looking for. Do a search on Google for ‘make money online’ and take a look at some of those results. Have a look at this site in the top 10… Make Money Online Everything above the fold is an advertising link in some way, and has the words ‘make money’ in almost every sentence on the page. Also try the ‘Make money at home’ and click on the 2nd result… MMAH. Can you stuff anymore keywords on that page!!

#2 Be nice to Google. Bitch slapping them like I do, does NOT help your revenue in any way, trust me…

#1 Write crappier content. There is a direct inverse relationship to your effective CPM on AdSense and how good your content is. If users really love what you write, they tend not to click away to something else. If you write really low quality stuff, the readers who are looking for something useful will click on your AdSense away to something that they were actually looking for…

Adsense, does it work?

I have had AdSense on my sites for a while now and only a wee trickle of money has dribbled in over the last year or so. When I mean a wee trickle, I mean a "Wee Trickle!"

but its getting better, I get around 10,000 Page Loads a month on my widescreen wallpaper site and its increasing, but still only about 0.3% - 1.0% of visitors click on my ads, resulting in a terrible Click Thru Ratio (CTR).

How does one improve this situation? These guys reckon they have it down and these guys too have a variety of tips on how to do better.

I have read them both but still lack in a decent CTR.

I will persist however, I think basically high quality content (text) + high quality keywords = High quality ads.

Fingers crossed!
