Optimize for search engines ... submit articles to directories, build incoming links = TRAFFIC! Pick a decent NICHE! Not all NICHES are created equal!
make sure you match the color layout and complement the page. links should be the same color as your page and so on. take the time to find out your page colors and match them, then save the code in your adsense account, then you can easily recall it.
It is all about the quality of the content... The longer you make a visitor stay... the better chances they will look at the ads... If you have a page view number 2x the number of visitors, you should be doing ok...
These tips helped me go from under a $1 a day avg to almost $20 in about 9 months. I'm hoping to be at $50-$75 avg in the next six. Sort your sites monthly by the amount of Adsense revenue they generate. Pick the bottom hand full and work on optimizing them. Do this every month and after a few months they will all be performing nicely, than build more sites. Use Wordtracker to find niche keywords and build quality mini sites around them. Target 2-3 keywords and build 10-15 page unique content sites. If you can't write hire content writers off of Craigslist, they are all over the place. Once your site is up and running for a couple weeks build links through writing articles, and submitting to directories. You can hire services to do these tasks if you like. Beware not to build too many links too fast however. Practice arbitrage on your best performing sites. Miva is good for this and much cheaper than Adwords. Thats it for now, anyone wanting more tips or to trade secrets PM me... cheers,
One very very important tip, you will regret it if you don't follow this now : Never Go Against Google TOS and Guidelines
Pick the right niche........check out niches and pick the ones with higher max per clicks, then you'll most likely get paid more....But choose niches wisely....Just because it pays more doesn't mean you'll make more money.....And just because you get traffic doesn't mean you'll make money either.. It's all in the niche...I see all to often people saying .05 cents a click is this normal, then you look at their niche and say....."Yeh it's normal for your niche....Choose niches where people are actually advertising...then build sites with thousands of pages....or 1000 small sites that make a few bucks a day...
Problem with picking profitable niches is that you can loose interest in keeping a site like that maintained. Updating often is hard when you get tired of writing content around Viagra, Online Casinos, and Penis whatever. Write what you love otherwise your site will suck the energy out of you.
thats why you get a nice ass keyword and market analysis tool like http://www.themezoom.com then got to http://www.getafreelancer.com or http://www.rentacoder.com and have them write content for you....But you have to make money first before you can outsource everything...As of now all I do is publish content and SEO....My websites are built, my content is written then I put the ads and the content and hit publish....Plus I do SEO...But make some cash then outsource you'll get so much more done and grow a lot quicker...
First tip should be considers is NOT to create sites Just for adsense in that way you will not earn anything
Read the TOS, Read the TOS, Read the TOS, Be the TOS, Understand the TOS, Touch the TOS, Marry the TOS, and never divorce the TOS. lol. Seriously folks, read and follow the damn TOS. Understand it as well.
Use 336 x 260 Banners - 1 top left - 1 central Bottom Make sure you select Largest Text even if you have selected it as default, make sure you select it on each ad. Use channels keep track of things.
Best adsense tips is get more traffic automatically you will get earning and for traffic do seo of you website ....
for my previous experience do not share your same article to article directory, make sure u write another article and link back to your original site.. u know if u submit all your same article to article directory the article directory will make money more than u .. and your site will gone or down from serp from the targeting keyword... i suggest write a content with targeting keyword and just leave it, google will do their job soon.. what u only do is try get natural backlink ,submit to google webmaster and add url at google url... hope it help.. p/s : please dont give anybody copy your original content
