Adsense :: Earning Money with your Website

Increase Your AdSense Revenues In Five Fabulous Steps

Have you enrolled for the AdSense program already? If you have, are you left wondering why others seem to be making a killing (and we’re talking about 5 digit earnings here) while your monthly revenues can’t even reach a dollar?

Making money from the AdSense program, you see, has developed into a science of sorts. One can’t simply enroll and expect a windfall of monetary gains to come his way. There are steps to follow and some work to be done.

But first, let’s discuss what this hoopla over AdSense is all about. By enrolling in the AdSense program, you are allowing their system to display contextually relevant advertisements in your pages. By “contextually relevant,” we mean advertisements that are related to the focus of your website. For example, your site is dedicated to dogs. AdSense would send advertisements that target the dog owners who will be visiting your site. Ads for dog grooming services, dog training items and the likes will be prominently displayed on your web pages.

So, what’s in it for you? Well, you get to earn a certain sum every time a visitor of yours would click on the ads. Granted that the earnings per click won’t even be able to buy you a chewing gum, you have to remember that the net is all about numbers. What if you have 15,000 visitors a day? What if 1% of them decide to click on the ads? What if each click is worth 10 cents? You’ll earn $775 a month!

If this still isn’t good enough for you, think of the possible earnings if you have 9 other enrolled sites that harness the same amount of cash each month.

So are you convinced now? The most difficult part about making money through the AdSense program is setting things up. Afterwards, when a consistent click through rate (CTR) has been established, you could rest your laurels and enjoy your site become a cash cow that would earn you thousands of dollar month after month after month.

Here are some tried and tested steps to consider in setting up your AdSense-enrolled website.

1. DO NOT HIDE THE ADS. Integrate them to your website design in a way that they would look like normal links. The common mistake that most webmasters make is that they segregate the ads so as not to hamper with the pages’ flow. Worse, some of them place the ads at the bottom of each page. Don’t do this. Place the ads somewhere prominent that they can be mistaken for regular links. Remember, you will be paid per click.

2. BLEND THE ADS WITH YOUR PAGES. It is highly recommended that you use white as the background color for your web pages. Otherwise the AdSense ads would just look like a disjointed bundle that your visitors would simply ignore.

3. BUNCH THE ADS WITH A SERIES OF OTHER LINKS. You could design your pages to have your links in vertical order, with your AdSense ads on top of them. This would give your visitors the impression that the AdSense ads are part of the links you have provided. This strategy has been proven as an effective means of increasing your CTR.

4. THE SKYSCRAPER STRATEGY. You could arrange your AdSense ads to be presented in a vertical fashion, contained in a rectangular box on the left or the right side of your pages. This way, your visitors would always see the ads as they scroll down each page.

5. THE INVISIBLE ADS METHOD. Some profess that by changing their background color to be similar to their links color, their AdSense revenues doubled. The principle behind this method is that the ad links would be invisible to the visitor, thereby making it probable that he’ll inadvertently click on a link. There are ethical questions to consider of course, but you could always blame it on poor web design.

The AdSense program holds so much promise for the dedicated webmaster. All that you need is already there. All you have to do is to pick them up and watch them transform into gold.
