These are the things I did to increase my earnings. - for example, you're site is about 'optical illusions', search google or other major search engines about this topic and browse their sites. Then contact webmasters if they would like to exchange links with you. Some sites just allow you to add your link to their link page related to their topic. - participate on link exchange marketing (linkmarket.net). The more sites that linked to you, the more chances you get higer rankings on search engines. (The above two tips gave me a top 6 search on MSN in just 12 days. Well of course you must first add your site to the MSN directory.) - submit to web directories and search engines to increase ranking. - participate on forums and always add your site on your signature. (Don't spam forums just to promote your site). - submit articles to article sites such as articlecity.com, ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, isnare.com, etc. and always add your site link on the author signature. - Add your site link whenever you send an e-mail to anybody. (How I wish you could add Adsense codes to them). - Add some addons to your site like polls, chatbox, etc. These are good ways to provide visitors with a little entertainment. (Here's a tip: I use blogpolls.com for my polls and it allows you to add your Adsense publisher ID on your polls. It means that browsers can see your Ads on the poll result whenever they vote.) - Just using Adsense? You could use other affiliate programs together with Adsense without breaking the TOS. I use Amazon Associates with Adsense and still waiting approval for Chitika. - Add a web counter to your site (statcounter.com) so you could see were your visitors are coming from and their behavior. - In case you didn't know, you could add your Adsense publisher ID here on DP. This means that you get 50% chance that your ads will be displayed here and when someone clicks on it, you earn. This is a good way to increase your Adsense earnings if your site doesn't have much traffic. Hope these tips help! Good luck on your road to financial freedom!

Google is cracking down on link exchange systems. It is okay to link with someone directly, but, when you put yourself in those link exchanges Google might remove you from their search engine.
