Increase Adsense revenue: PPC tips

Most of you generally think that Google Adsense program pays very low price per click, but it`s not the truth and other affiliate programs will not pay you per click the higher price as Adsense. Why is that? The answer is simple - the web publishers are the same companies and they pay the same price for Ads in different affiliate programs! Only You have the huge problem with your site or blog if your Adsense revenues are low.

You have to try the following Adsense tips and test it how they work in your personal case (with your web sites) and i hope in a couple of months you can expect a increase in your overall Adsense revenues.

1. Do not stuff your web site with many Ads! Adding 3 Text Ads, 3 Link Ads & Paid Search box isn’t a good idea. Google Adsense counts one impression if a page has 3 text Ads and 3 link Ads, it’s only 1 impression for all of them.

2. Work out closely with your Adsense text blocks (After ads tests I prefer to place on my site only text Ads). Basically, you can change the colours of Adsense ads every fortnight or month in order to understand which colours combination is best for your visitors and give them a new look and feeling, browsing your site. Mix the background colour of Ads with the originally background of your site - I recommend you that!

3. Do not use 2 ad units side by side, because generally the visitors do not come back again! It`s only big illusion to belief that adding 2 Adsense ad units next to each other like 160×600 + 160×600 would give you more revenue. First of all, the CPC will be lower and this revenue can just be one time without visitor returns.

4. My understanding is Adsense will put the highest paying ads at the Top of the code, so if your code is arranged footer (ad unit), header, content (ad unit), left sidebar (ad unit) and you wanted your left sidebar to show the best ads because it’s in a hot click area you’ve got your code the wrong way around, because the best ads are going to be in the footer.

5. Block “low-price” advertisers who seems to directly advertising on your web site because this does not affect generally much on your adsense revenue. Use Adsense Competitors Filter to block them on your site. Click here to check “low-price” advertisers on your web site.
Try to use different ad colours for Ad Title, Text and URL because this can offer a better CTR, rather than the case when all these 3 have the same colour. More CTR generally does offer you more revenues. You must try it and control the different stats of your tests and decide for more profitable ad colour combination.

6. Use new styled Adsense - Google Custom Search box because this can lead to more searches as the Google Watermark is shown within the search box and many visitors cannot identlfy if this is a paid search box, it could be more invisible for visitors!

7. Generally show the Google Search Box Results on your own website by creating a special page, because this can help you make the visitor stay in your web site and this can help you make more money because the visitor may either click on any of your ad or just subscribe your feeds.

8. Control your Adsense stats every day. Create custom channels for every ad unit you add on your website and check out the performance based on the revenue: CTR, CPC, eCPM etc. You can also remove the low performing ones or try to blend them to make sure they perform well (changing ad colours, sizes etc.).

9. If you do not have a huge incoming traffic on your web site, than do not use referrals, because generally the Adsense Referrals pays you only when someone converts in the form of leads/sale and this is very low performing service. By the way, Google Adsense referals are retiring soon.

10. Avoid placing image ads, because generally they pay very less and cover the whole ad unit, when compared to text ads which have a bigger ad options and cost opportunities. By the way, the large part of internet visitors generally do not like the image ads, I tested myself and do not use it any more.

11. Invest every month small part of your Adsense revenues, which can be from 5-20% you will need this money to develop your website in terms of content, seo, ads optimizations etc. As for me, only developing web site earn big bucks with Adsense.

12. Make mobile (.mobi) version of your site / and place there Adsense for Mobile units because this can for sure help you out make some extra money when the mobile phone users, especially in USA and Canada use internet mobile phones to access your website and clicks on the ads.

Adsense updates fonts

Adsense experimenting with new fonts in ads.

In June 2008 Adsense started to test different fonts in Ads, i saw it browsing my site and did not believe at all, but it`s true!
However, it might help with ad blindness and I get the feeling that eventually we will be able to choose the font for our ads in Adsense account.

I have a couple ad blocks appearing on my sites at the moment, it looks completely screwed up with each block using a different font. At least the occasional font changes do focus more visitor`s attention!
They test not only the font families, but font sizes also. A couple of days ago I’ve seen two different sizes of Times New Roman font.

What do you think about it?

Stupid traffic generation

Let`s talk about stupid incoming web site traffic and Adsense revenues.

It`s not a secret that everyone would like to earn money, using Adsense program or other affiliate programs: it`s easy and profitable (if you do it, using right methods and have a little bit luck!). I find this very interesting to discuss with other people, how can receive passive money from internet marketing every month. Learn Optimal Adsense revenues formula.

Hope you understand what does it mean Adsense and how it works. In Internet you can find a lot of information: reports, reviews, blogs, forums, e-books, videos about Adsense and Internet Marketing. Everybody would suggest you some special secrets and informations about “How to earn more with Adsense”, try to sell you “Top Adsense secrets” etc.

I saw million of articles and e-books about it and only some of them are helpful, 90% of these materials are duplicated.

Some days ago I visited one of Adsense`s Forum and have found the article about young boy, who showed images with great Adsense stats with $30.000 revenues / month. I said “Wow!”

I did not believe him and did small research and found the results very funny:

1) his site has only 300 indexed pages in Google

2) page rank in Alexa - 29.008.900 and he earns 30.000 $ / month!!!

it all means that this guy works good in Photoshop and writing such posts in forums try to receive traffic to his site, because people is curious about so much money (30.000 $) and of course they would like to see his “Golden Site”.

As for me, it is “incorrect method” to generate web traffic to site, it could function ONLY one time, people do not return to those site, because it`s only illusion!

Adsense earnings formula?

Adsense tips: How does it work?Today I would like to write review about Successful Adsense Formula for webmasters.Let`s say that you have web site or blog, created new Adsense account and now you have to earn money, using your site content for it!

AdSense Rev. = Impressions x CTR x CPC x Smart-pricing-factor
Impression count is referring to your incoming web site traffic; it means the number of times AdSense ads is displayed.

CTR (Click-through-rate) is the ratio of clicks per impressions. It can range from 0.1% to 30%, for the main part of internet web sites it’s commonly around 1% to 15%. If your site have high CTR, Google will control your account, because of fraud clicks…

Cost-per-click (CPC) is the earning, that publishers get for each click on your site and if you place image Adsense ads the publishers will pay for total number of impressions. I tried both methods on my different web sites and decided to place mostly text Adsense blocks - they give more money!

Smart-pricing-factor is AdSense method to determine how valuable clicks from your site are worth.

It depends on the niche of your web site and keywords costs. You can estimate the value of different keywords, using this Keywords estimation tool.

If clicks on your site doesn’t provide good value to advertisers you will only get a fraction of the supposed CPC. The publishers will pay you more money if the CTR index is high in your niche and you receive huge traffic on your web site!

My tips here:

CTR must be 2-7 %. The main factor to have good CTR is incoming web site traffic.

Basically SEO helps you to receive organic traffic from internet search engines like google, yahoo, msn etc. and convert this traffic in payable clicks. Control your traffic stats, get hard to seo solutions, exchange relevant links with high PR - increase your quality traffic.
Google’s Heat Map really really helps me improve my CTR.

CPC must be high 2-10$.

It depends on you web site niche, some keywords can cost 1 cent, others -10-20 $. Such niches as Business, Finance, Insurance, Cars, Money etc. do get a higher CPC but…it’s harder to get ranked and thus to get traffic as there is a big competition - that`s the problem! You can see, that 10 clicks can give you 100 $ - that is the good goal for everybody.
Don’t write garbage reports that have already been copied 100 times!!! Write something fresh, interesting, with new information sources, cool pictures and put out more 3,4,5, etc. keyword combinations that you can pick up traffic on.

Do not forget, that You want to focus visitor’s attention on two things:

Your Content
Adsense / Affiliate Ads

You want them to either continue surfing your site (your have free services, e.g. free video convert tools or new interesting information sites) or to exit through an Adsense ad.

I would like to conclude my review with following Slogan:

“Working every day + place new, interesting content will give you in some months good profit from Adsense or other affiliate program. It`s all about quality traffic!”
