    Please note, this is not my article, I copy from here
    Becoz, i think this is very nice article.:D

    There are many sites you can visit on the internet which tell you how much money they are making using Google Adsense. They even show you some screenshots of their earnings.
    Is it just me, or does there seem to be something odd in all of this? If you were making thousands or tens of thousands of dollars every month, would you start selling an ebook for $47 telling other people how to do it? Would you just get bored with making all of that money and give it up in order to sell your secret for a few dollars?!
    I am not saying that it is impossible to make a huge amount of money with Adsense. What I am saying, is that it is not easy. There is no get-rich-quick scheme. However, if you do put the work in and follow some basic rules, then there is a great chance to earn some serious money.
    One way is to do it by quantity. What I mean by this, is to build 100s if not 1000s of sites. This will make you money, but also takes a huge amount of investment buying the domains names and hosting and building the actual sites themselves. To build 500 sites will cost you thousands of dollars.
    There is also the risk that with all of this investment, you will become banned by Google Adsense become of a mistake that you have made. When this happens, you will lose your entire kingdom and empire.
    However, there are easier ways to increase your revenue with even just one site:
    1. Use the large rectangle to display your ads. Again and again tests show that this is the best performing ad.
    2. Create the text in your ad as black. The URL should be either black depending on the site. The advantage of blue, is that this is the default color for links and so visitors are used to clicking on
    these URLs.
    3. Another format which works is to use the horizontal banner with an image or images above it. This will bring attention to the ads, and make people click on them.
    4. Ensure that the traffic coming to your ad is interested in what you have to say. If the ad is not relevant to them, then they will not click on it. There is no point in driving huge amounts of traffic to your site as the click-thru rate will be extremely low and will not payout in the long-run.
    5. You constantly need to be testing what you are doing and making changes to try and improve your click-thru rate and the cost that you are being paid per ad. If you are not doing this, then you are leaving serious money on the table as there are always ways to improve your ad and therefore your click-thru rate.
    6. Continuously move forward. What I mean by this, is that you must always build new sites and improve your current sites. If you are not doing this, then your Adsense revenue will actually decrease.
    7. If you want to earn a serious amount of money from your site, then it is vital that you are building a site around the correct keywords and optimizing your pages towards these keywords.

    It doesn't do any harm to be reminded occasionally.

    Gotta agree. Adsense is a pain. It takes a traffic flooded site to actually make a good sum of money with Adsense. Remember the average conversion rate... Depressing....

    I don't think you need hundreds of sites with Google Adsense to make a serious profit. How long does it take to build 600 visitors each day to 100 sites, versus getting ONE website in the top 20,000 on Alexa.

    My goal would be to get one website in the top 20,000 on Alexa. You do that, and if you have Google Ads, the sheer traffic you have will make up for any low payments for each click.

    I generally stay away from the $47 ebooks talking about how to make thousands in Adsense. Most of it is BS. Not to say that ebooks don't work, but why are these rich people giving away secrets.

    If you account gets banned from Google, and you have to do is switch to YPN or some other pay per click. Not the end of the world. If you made money with Adsense, you will make money with another program, since traffic is traffic right?

    exactly...figure out what works for you and don't pay attention to articles...imagine that if everyone of the thousands that probably read that article went and changed their font to black....I would keep mine at blue so they would stand out.
