Increasing Earnings

Discussion in 'Reporting & Stats' started by super_kid, May 5, 2005.

    Hello folks. I've been using Adsense for a good 8 months now, and got three cheques so far. I was wondering, what can one do (within Google's policies) to increase one's earnings?

    Thank you ;)

    Blend with site. put inside content. Use as much ads as possible. Place ads above the fold. There are the things I follow.

    Check

    Hmm I'm afraid I don't know exactly what you're talkin about.

    I'm using just one right now, on the top right corner. Here's my website: www.hbdia.com (it's in portuguese, but you can still see the ad placement ;) )

    How do you put more than one?

    What do you mean?

    lol :D

    Put inside content : ads between text
    Above the fold : upper part of screen.

    Since its an informatinal site, I think putting ads between text will be a good idea. People will surely notice your ads.

    PS: check my site about adsense : www.hackadsense.info

    I'll assume it's ok to discuss traffic (speacially because most websites have visible counters anyways...)?

    I usually get around 600 unique pageviews a day. What about you guys? I'm just curious, I don't know if it's a high or low number.

    The above mentioned Site gets 10k to 12k daily page views! earning is just .50$ where as my other sites get 2k page views and earning range from 7 to 8$, strange!

    your site is just too busy with hundreeds of exit points for users. so why would they exit by clicking on adsense? try reorganizing your pages and making fewer links (and less content) on each page

    Good content, You should know Spicey things attract people:p.
    Google has them indexed very qucikly and I added the site in my other top sites!
    Its like I bought a domain today added the links in my other sites took just 2 hours to or little more to appear in google and other search engines. I guess it's all backlinks trick!

    I sue several methods to increase my earnings. One method is removing the borders form your ads and having them blend in with your site.

    The key is to experiment, try different ad formats, placements and colors. Track them with channels and see what works best on your site.

    If the goal is to increase adsense earning, then use of the proper ad format (color/size) and proper ad placement will be key to increase the click thru RATIO.

    There are a lot of suggestions already when it comes to the proper ad format.

    The Large Rectangle (336x280) ad placed above the fold with background and border to match the background of your site, should increase your click thru ratio.

    Remember that you may use up to 3 adsense ad units on your site - so if your goal is to increase your adsense earnings, do the deed and integrate the other two adsense ad units on each page.

    Once your site has been properly optimized to generate a higher click thru rate, your focus should shift to generating as much quality traffic as possible to the site.

    How you accomplish goal of increasing your traffic is entirely up to you. (Obvsiously you can create more content, get more incoming links, get top listings on the search engines, buy traffic from adwords, etc.)

    There really isn't a secret to making good money with adsense. Concentrate on properly integrating the ads into your site to maximize exposure and increase the click thru ratio. Throw as much quality traffic as you can at your site.

    If you can do those two things... the money will flow your way. However if you are missing one of those two things... you will find that the mone will just TRICKLE your way slowly.

    PEACE..........

    Log into your adsense account and read all the info there about channels. Channels are the way for you to track how much you make from a specific domain, page, or ad format.

    But really... go and read about channels in the adsense help section to get a detailed explanation.

    You might want to place your ads between the items rather than at the very top of the page as many of your users will be scrolling down...I did that with lingeriedreams and had a significant improvement...
