Hia, Trust you all are making real good money from the adsense. Me being a newbie, seeking some advice from all you experts here. I have a set of "How To" questions and would be really great if you all can be generous enough to help me out. So here it goes; 1. How to track the most profitable keywords? 2. How to track the clicks? (I suppose by introducing the channels - but dont really have an indepth idea of getting the most benefit out of it.) 3. How to improve the CTR? 4. How to get the most Ads clicked (the legal way)? 5. How to exclude my own impressions from getting recorded? Looking forward to see what you guys have for me. Cheers, Mike...
I'll answer a couple of your questions 2. Channels is very easy to implement and track. In the ad creation process it will ask if you would like to include a channel....the most important thing in tracking your ads is giving each channel a descriptive name. If you just have one site that you have adsense on try naming your channels like this (indexleftskyscraper or linkspagebottombanner). Once you create these channels for every ad on every page, you'll be able to monitor the performance of each one on your overview page. You need to start using channels if you want to be successful with adsense, otherwise you have absolutely no idea where your clicks are coming from or even where to start fixing things 3. There's no one magical way to improve CTR, but there are a number of smaller things that when done together will work wonders for you. Check out the forum post below. I checked this out about a month ago, and this is probably the best advice you can get for Adsense. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=658384&highlight=adsense+ctr
Thanks Rich for your kind advice. I am still looking for the answers to the questions asked. Anyone here would like to do the favour for me. Cheers, Mike...
