If you\u2019ve been running AdSense ads on your site for quite a while and you feel that you aren\u2019t making as much cash as you could, in 99.99% of cases you\u2019re right. Most people feel frustrated that they cannot generate the revenues they expected, and this is down to traffic levels as well as click-through rates.<\/p>\n
There are many ways to turn traffic into AdSense traffic and here is a short list of them with a description for each.<\/p>\n
The first thing that you need to do is tune up your site\u2019s content. While for some people this isn\u2019t an option (if you\u2019re running a forum for example it\u2019s a lot harder) most people can make their AdSense sites veritable cash cows.<\/p>\n
To begin, you should find out what your site\u2019s keywords are. This is a basic technique in SEO (search engine optimization) known as keyword density verification. A good tool for this job is SEO Density Analyzer.<\/p>\n
You should then take this list of words and search the Overture Search Inventory or Google AdWords Sandbox to find out what other words could be doing better than what you currently have.<\/p>\n
From that point on try to keep your site focused on the things that appear mostly in the keyword suggestions you receive. Try to include those keywords, or at least some related keywords as often as you can in the links on your site.<\/p>\n
Because of the way Google AdSense works this is a sure way to increase your earnings because you\u2019ll get better ads in your AdSense banners, similar to how you would get a better Google<\/p>\n
PageRank<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also important that you continuously add new pages to your site. This is very important, as the more pages you have, the higher the chance is that you\u2019ll get more hits on your ads.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also very important that you choose the appropriate formats for your AdSense banners and the best locations for them. While this is a much wider subject you should generally know that the top three Google AdSense formats are: 336\u00d7280 large rectangle 300\u00d7250 medium rectangle and 160\u00d7600 skyscraper.<\/p>\n
Make sure you choose the appropriate colours for the ads, as making them too different from your site\u2019s content (or just different in a bad way) is sure to make visitors regard them as banners which have nothing to do with the site itself.<\/p>\n
Make sure these ads are positioned where they\u2019ll generate the highest amount of profit. Most times, that location is said to be right before the beginning of your site\u2019s actual content.<\/p>\n
On pages with a long text body, you might find skyscrapers to do better, simply because users get exposed to them for more time. Also, for sites with news or similar items, you might find a good position to be at the bottom of your content, because that\u2019s when people are finished reading your story and are looking for something else to do.<\/p>\n
You should use more AdSense units if you have a lot of text on your page. Just make sure not to overdo it because you might find that you will get a lot lower CTR and lower revenues than you were getting in the first place by employing this technique inappropriately. You can add as many as three units, so use them wisely.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a Google AdSense Preview Tool that will let you visualize what ads would get served on your page and it can come in very handy as a testing mechanism.<\/p>\n
Just make sure you respect the AdSense policy regarding click fraud. As a pointer you could place a picture next to your ads, just make sure to leave some room in between to make sure this isn\u2019t regarded as encouraging visitors to click the link.<\/p>\n
Of course, there are more ways to increase AdSense traffic from your site, but these should serve as a good starting point for income maximization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
