Always keep in mind that AdSense can make money from your website. You get paid every time one of your visitors clicks on a link. The main issue amongst website owners is how to make the ads look more appealing to visitors. Here are some proven ways to easily improve your Google AdSense earnings.
Concentrate on one format of AdSense ad.
The one format that worked well for the majority is the large rectangle. This same format has the tendency to result in higher click through rates.
Why is this format so popular? Well, it is simply because the ads will look like normal web links. People who are used to clicking on your links will just click on through. They may or may not know they are clicking on your AdSense but as long as there are clicks, it will all be to your advantage.
Create a custom palette for each ads.
Choose a color that will go well with the background of your site. If your site has a white background, try to use white as the color of your ad border and background. The idea to patterning the colors is to make the AdSense ads look like they are a part of the web pages. This will result in more clicks from people visiting your site.
Above the Fold
Remove the AdSense from the bottom pages of your site and put them at the top. Do not try to hide your AdSense. Put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between AdSense locations can make when you look at your earnings.
Try to maintain links to relevant websites.
If you think some sites are better off than the others, put your ads there and try to maintain them. If there is already a lot of AdSense put into that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way visitors will see your ads first upon browsing into that particular site.
Automatic AdSense Insertion
Try to automate the insertion of your AdSense code into the web pages using SSI. Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not.
The next question is how exactly do you do it? Just put your AdSense code in a text file, save it, upload it to the root directory of the web server, then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a major time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages for their website.
These are just some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. It is important to understand that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. So focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the AdSense ads will be specifically targeted on a topic that people will already by viewing.

Learning how to make money with Google AdSense can sometimes prove to be more complicated than you think. Most people think that all you really need to do to make money with AdSense is simply placing the adverts on your website. This is however not true. Having read many forum posts at popular search engine optimization forums I found it quite common that a good portion of webmasters were complaining about the fact that their high traffic websites were generating poor AdSense profits. The reason why is because there are many important aspects to take into consideration if you wish to be successful with AdSense.
The first thing you need to attend to is working out how you are going to display your AdSense adverts around your website content. This includes decisions on the particular colors to use and the sizing of the adverts. Some people place their adverts in between their website content which is quite effective as it has a luring effect which increases your chances of people clicking on your adverts. Also make sure that your colors are the same as your general page colors. If for example you have a white background with black text then try to fit some AdSense adverts with the same colors within your content as well as around it.
The second factor I would like to talk about is your niche selection.It is always a good idea to do a little research with keyword tools and find out which niches have the highest paid cost per clicks generated. Developing a website with high paying adverts is far more worth while than having a high traffic website with a low paying niche. Some niches like student loans can pay up to $60 per click generated, although the values vary almost daily.

Do you know how many PSA (Public Service Announcement) ads are displayed every day on your website? You might not be able to answer this question even though you are running Google AdSense. The reason is very simple. Google is not displaying stats about PSAs.
You might be losing no ads, several or hundreds as it is in my case. The only way to be able to access those statistics is to setup alternate ads and rely on the stats of the company that is providing the stats. The reason why you should setup alternate ads in Google AdSense is therefor twofold. First you probably would like to know how many PSAs are displayed and you would then like to monetize them instead of handing them out to Google for their public service announcements.
Setting up alternate ads is relatively easy. You first need to have some alternate ad code from a company such as Amazon, Chitika or Auction Ads and save the code into a normal text document. Rename the document to alternateads.htm and upload it to the root of your website.
Now add the line google_alternate_ad_url = “http://www.yoururl.extension/alternateads.htm”; to your Google AdSense code and the alternate ads should appear on every page where Google is unable to provide advertisement for.
After setting them up you can start analyzing the number of impressions that you receive from that backup network and tweak it until you are satisfied with the results.

Launching a website takes a lot of time and energy and, in some cases, money. Every for-profit site owner has the dream of being able to reap the rewards of a money-making website to make up for all the blood, sweat, tears poured into it. Whether you are selling products or services or both, it is can be important to have other ways to monetize your site. Finding free ways to bring in money is ideal, and Google AdSense has provided one very popular option to do just that. However, AdSense may not be the best fit for every site. There are pros and cons to consider as you ask yourself, “Should I put AdSense on my website?”
The potential pros to AdSense are relatively clear: you receive payment each time a visitor to your site clicks an AdSense ad. More visitors= more clicks= more money for you. Obviously, many people are making money from this pay-per-click program, because AdSense is indeed everywhere you turn online. It may seem like every website in the world utilizes Google AdSense. Still, it is possible that this program could be more of a deterrent than benefit to certain types of sites.
For example, if a visitor comes to your site and clicks on a Google ad, there is a chance they will move on to where the ad takes them without returning to your site. Although you made a few pennies from the ad click, the visitor will no longer be purchasing from you.
There is plenty of competition out there for your site; so it would seem an advertisement placed on your site competing with your own products might not be the most lucrative situation.
Perhaps the best use of Google AdSense is for sites that are simply informational. In this way, there is no product competition-only an ad to enhance your informational articles and give your site credibility. What is the best way to determine if Google AdSense is for you? Consider the goals for your site and decide whether the pay-per-click ads will add to your site while adding to your income, or if it will only redirect your potential customers, leaving you with some pocket change from the click as well as the loss of a sale.

When you log into your Google AdSense account, you are automatically taken to the page where you can view all your AdSense activity. On the Reports tab, you’ll see “Today’s Earnings.” This is the approximate amount you have earned today in your Google AdSense account. Earnings are not final at this point and could be adjusted for invalid clicks or fees.
It’s interesting to look at the breakdown. As you can see, AdSense for Content, which refers to the targeted ads appearing on the pages in which you have written content, is listed first. Here you will see the number of page impressions listed in the first column.
While a page impression is generally the same as a page view, that is not always the case. For a more detailed definition of a page impression, see Google AdSense support, click on Your AdSense Account and then click on Your AdSense Report.
Next, you’ll notice the number of clicks. This refers to the number of times “your ads” were clicked on.
Page click through rate or CTR is in the next column shown as a percentage. It represents the percentage of the time an ad was clicked on after viewing your page.
Page eCPM which stands for effective cost per thousand impressions. It is calculated by dividing total earnings by the number of page impressions in thousands.
Don’t be intimidated by these statistics. The bottom line, your earnings, is what really counts. As you become more familiar with Google AdSense, statistics will become like second nature. First, just start.
How is Google AdSense Different From Other Ad Networks?
Primarily because it is Google and that carries a lot of clout just with name recognition alone. But here are some advantages to being a part of the Google AdSense network:
Getting started is fast and easy and requires no technical knowledge. Google AdSense even provides html code for easy implementation with clear instructions.
Google AdSense has both the AdSense for Content feature and the AdSense for Search feature.
Google AdSense not only provides keyword targeted ads but site targeted ads as well, maximizing your potential for revenue.
Google AdSense provides a filter so that you can choose not to run your competitor’s ads on your pages as well as filter other unwanted ads.
Google AdSense provides an extensive support site that is easily understood.
