Give ONE Good advice for Adsense Newbies

Howdy all. Due to the recent trend of not-so-helpful threads, I'd like to start something.

If you could give just one simple short advice to a person that just entered the Adsense/Webmaster/Marketing sphere of business, what would it be ?

What is the one simple short advice you'd give to save him time and money, help him earn more or avoid common newbie pitfalls ?

I will start:


1) Never buy eBooks. Save your money.
Better talk to people, watch videos, join webinars and seminars. Email "gurus" directly. Pay people to tutor you or just buy real books.

 

I agree with the first suggestion, never waste your money on an ebook, all of that information is on the web for free, just look around.

Also, when you are getting started with adsense, do not just throw something up, get a few clicks and be happy. Constantly test your placements, colors, ad types etc. You will find that small tweaks can double your CTR and your earnings!

 

Another advice from me....

2. Do not stick Adsense on a new site (0 days old). Get decent traffic then add Adsense.

 

3. read the TOS over and over and over (and over) then play by the rules

 

4. Dont check your adsense account 40 times a day. Work on promoting your site and making great content.

 

Keep at it! There'll be times where you will feel like giving up, but stick at it! Never give up!

 

I'll give two:

1. Once u have some traffic optimize your ad placement.

2. Never count on your earnings until you've been consistently making good money (ie 12+ months at least).

 

Only Use Adsense once you get 100+ visitors a day and put no more than 1 Text ad block per page.

 

Never give up wokring with adsence; keep working on it.
Don't attempt to use any blackhat methods, auto clickers etc.

 

Less is more. Don't stuff your site with ads.

 

Use Adsense for Search if your site has information that someone might find more easily with a search feature. It's a win-win!

 

Focus on unique and quality contents and site traffic.

 

3. Always try different Link Color. Change it time to time. so returning visitors will also click.

 

Very true! This is imperative.

 

Blend them nicely, but make them stand out as well. This is pretty difficult, but keep playing around to see what works!

 

Keep experimenting with your site, not only ad placement formats, but SEO techniques, page formats, content, navigation. There's no better way to determine what's best for your site than to keep experimenting. It's easy to do and it doesn't cost you anything, so why not? When you find something that works well, improve on it, build on it, duplicate it, and keep working.
