11 you must know about google adsense

Tip 1: Image above ads
[B]Results: 35% increase in CTR
You may of seen more and sites take up this method of showing off there Adsense ads, afterall it is well known that the human eye notices images more than text. The idea is to try and fit small pictures above the google ads.Try to keep the images related to your website as they then will match well with the Google Ads.

Tip 2: Think while adding content
[B]Results: 40% better payment
This is for people who have a goal of making money out of there website and are not making sites just for fun. When you are about to add content to your website think about keywords, remember things like loans pay alot and games don't. This does not mean however that you should add spam to your site. You need to get a good balance.
Tip 3: Dont expect TO much.
[B]Results: N\a
If your getting $1 a click, good for you however most of us only get 10c or so so don't worry when you don't make to much, try not checking your adsense revenue every day as you will find it seems less. Check it every week, this is unless your trying to get it perfect.
Tip 4: The fold!
[B]Results: 55% CTR increase
A fold in a website is where the user has to scroll down to see the rest of the content, try and place your adds above this fold, think about placing it at the top of the page. Notice Digitalpoint has the adverts at the top? They have taken the fold into mind when placing adverts. For example would you see the ads as much if they was at the bottom of the forum?

Tip 5: The fake clicks!
[B]Results:
I know how easy it can be to want to get your mates to make you some quick cash, I'm sure you would think "How would Google know what I told my mates on MSN", well sorry buddy they find out!, also think of it as stealing from the Adwords people. There is no point making all that cash if Google then stops your account, you don't get it and your have to live with somthing such as Adsense.
Tip 6: SEO
[B]Results:
Wondering how SEO can do your adsense any good? Well it is pretty simple it will both allow Adsense to find better adverts for your page and it will gather you more Search engine rankings, thus more hits thus better CTR!
More coming soon if you guys want.
Tip 7: Trying to sell?
[B]Results:
If your trying to sell a item on your website then I would advise againts Adsense. Normally when I see adverts on sites that are trying to sell me things, I look at the adverts and think "Mmm, must not be selling many products, wonder why.." However some may find the adsense revenue is to much to drop, try for a week and see if you sell any more products.
Tip 8: Explain to your users
[B]Results: 30% increase CTR
Explain to your users why you have adverts, explain that it pays for hosting and covers the lack of true work you do, you will find they will look at the adverts more. One warning at no point ask them to click on the adsense. Word this wisely or trouble may be near
Tip 9: Domain matters
[B]Results: 30% increase CTR
If your site is about cars and your domain is aboutstrangegreenfrog.com you WILL notice some adverts are not related to your content. Adsense checks your URL to provide with adverts. I am unsure how much of a effect it has, but it does have a effect. Always try and get domains related to your content
Tip 10: No Secrets.
[B]Results: 30% increase CTR
Think that everyone making money is keeping a Secret? Do they do it with some amazing Adsense skills? No. Most of them just follow this same sort of rules. Don't buy ebooks like "Make 5000 dollors with adsense", most are rubbish. The number one thing to focus on is content. Adverts are for a website, nor a website for Adverts!
Tip 11: Placement
Results:
I have already talked about the fold but where to place them adverts above the fold is the question! For this tip I will be using the image below:
Placement 1: The header is not seen for very long on most websites, however it is the first thing users see. If your website has a colorful header and a large one then add your adverts here.
Placement 2: Adding small adverts on top menu sometimes works, however make sure users don't get confused with menu links, try to make it stand out from the menu.
Placement 3: This is a nice area to keep adverts. The user is looking at the content so will look at your adverts, however it may make some people angry, see what users reactions are like when adding adverts here.
Placement 4: The main menu is a good place to place adverts, however alot of the time users see them here to often and block them out. The human mind does this without them knowing.
Placement 5: A side bar for adverts only is great, it allows the users to know there are adverts and also makes the content clean.

Tip 1: Track everything
[b] Tip by; Internetguy
Use the channels feature provided by Google. If you can afford it, buy a third party tracker which also tracks things like IP's of clickers and keywords. Save your IP log and check to see if there is any suspicious activity. Tracking can tell you which pages are doing better. You can also vary things like placement, formats and colors and track the results of your changes over time.
Tip 2: Crazy?
[b] Tip by; jackburton2006
Don't get crazy about every little dip or jump in your earnings on an hour-by-hour (or even day-by-day) basis. You'll just drive yourself insane and waste all our time posting threads asking, "What is happening? Is this happening to anyone? Dear God, what is happening???"
