Get More Money from Less Ads

There are several factors that affect the price of the Ads.

In general, Google tries to manage your ads in a way you'll get the maximum ROI (Return of Investment).

Also, in general, the highest paying ads will appear on the bottom of the list. But how can you actually get more money from fewer ads?

Well, it's quite simple. Imagine there are 4 high paying ads on a certain keyword. Now imagine you have 2 blocks of ads, with 4 each. The highest paying ads will be divided in the 2 blocks, on the bottom positions. However, people tend to click on the first ads on the list. This means you'll receive less from each click. Now imagine you have just one block of ads. The 4 high paying ads will be displayed, so you'll likely receive more money.

But why does Google place the highest paying ads on the bottom of the list? It's quite simple: Advertisers pay-per-click, they don't pay-per-impression. Ads on the bottom of the lists are less clicked, but that shows interest on the website. The people who click on those ads are more interested in the product.

So remember: Quantity is not always Quality.

Like to post on forums? Try revenue sharing forums

What are they?

Well, they are completely normal blogs with one catch: when you create a topic, your AdSense ads will show up on 50% of the visits it gets.
Get more interesting topics, and your revenue will increase.


Is this allowed by Google?

Yes, of at least, at the time of this post, there isn't anything on Google's terms that state otherwise.


Can I get a lot of money from this?

This is the problem. I wouldn't say to. The problem is that when people are on forums, they are only there to read the post, not the ads themselves. It's much less likely they'll click on them through these methods.


Do you have any example forum?

This method was created a few years ago, so there are a bunch of forums that support it. One of them is THIS.

Adsense - More clicks doesn't (always) mean more money

This is a strange fact I didn't know, but after studying the results I was getting with AdSense, I came to the conclusion that having a lot of clicks on links with almost no visits will not give you as much money as a lot of visits and fewer clicks.

Of course, this is not always true, but you should always try to get more visitors instead of getting them to click the ads (although you should do it).

I just thought I'd be nice to share this with you.

AdSense - Pre-made templates

The other day, as I was searching for some money making online oportunities, I faced a website which was selling pre-made templates. Don't buy them. Yes, they say they have hundreds of pages of content and all that, but do you know why it doesn't work?

It's simple: You make money according to how many people visit your page and click the ads. BUT, you'll NEVER be on first place on search engines. Care to know why? It's actually logical, because search engines automaticaly delete repeated articles.

I know some people who have been fooled by these offers, so I'm warning you. Don't be fooled by these scammers.

I know AdSense but... how to I use it?

Of course you can't use AdSense on the Internet without something supporting it behind, like a blog or any other kind of website.

As with Google AdSense you get ads that are keyword specific, you'll probably get ads that are related to your website content, so you won't have to worry about it.

What you'll have to worry about is having a nice, visited website, as the more people you get daily on the blog, the more money you will probably make.

One question that's usually asked is about buying a domain or using a free one. Well, if you want to go fancy and professional, you should get your own domain. This is specially important if you're selling something, as you'll be much more likely to be taken seriously if you have your own domain. About buying a server of using a free service, this is up to you, but of course paid servers are more reliable...

If you want to go with a blog, there are several reliable services that are free, like this blog, running on blogger.com.

For making a website, you have 2 options: you either learn HTML and use it; or try one of the many services online. Remember, your website must look appealing to the user, it should never be confusing and the user must at all times know where he must click to go where he wants. These are rather simple tips and tricks of making a good website, but I haven't mentioned one thing: content.

"Go big or go home" - Ever heard this? Well, it's true. You either write a lot and update your website a lot or you won't be able to run a real big business online.

"Ok, now I have a website... so what?". I know it's never easy to start a new website from scratch and gain reliable users. That's why you must submit your website into search engines; that's why you must talk about it in forums; that's why you could use AdWords. Don't know what AdWords is? Well, it's a service provided by Google, where you pay monthly to get your ads on hundreds of pages, the ones that have AdSense. And the best is that you only pay for the persons who actually enter your website, you won't actually pay for showing the ads. I'll probably talk about AdWords soon, so be sure to check back sometime soon (you can subscribe to my post on the right).

3 Tips to improve AdSense's revenue

AdSense is a great tool, but you need to know how to use it and how to make the best out of it. Here I'll show you 3 techniques to improve your Google Adsense income:

1 - Make your ads not look like ads. Although they can't be completely mixed with the rest of the content, you should blend them as much as you can, because nowadays people are used to skip ads and they won't read them. Play by the rules, but increase the interest as much as you can.

2 - Use proper sizes. Different sizes of ads result in different clicks. Banners are usually bad for business, because they were the first forms of advertizing online. Square ones usually perform better and I like to see the cascade one I have on this side. It's a matter of trying, because the same type of ads perform differently on various websites.

3 - Try. This is really important. You must try all different types of ads. Find the one that suit your website and you'll be garanteed to win more money.

For as much I'd like to help you, I can't do more than this. You must keep trying. Also, you'll only really start to profit after you have a greater amount of traffic on your website, but the techniques to get it will only be discussed on future posts.

AdSense – The Money Making Pot of Gold

Google AdSense is an ad serving program run by Google and what a great deal it is.

Webmasters all over the world started using it and winning huge amounts of money with it.

With AdSense, you can generate revenue on pay per click ads. There are several options of ads available, and I’ll discuss the ways of increasing your profit really soon.

Sure, there are limitations, and you’ll only be paid when you reach 100$, but it’s a great service and the simply the best program out there. Having your own ads, adapted to content, is only a matter of minutes, so you’ll soon be able to profit with it.

There are even cases of success where the only income some people have is Google AdSense, so yes, it’s that good.
