Adsense Tips

1. Don’t forget to guide the Google spider to your site.
2. Content is still the king of Adsense. Adsense advertiser will be based on the keywords that are available at your site.
3. Use the keywords that are likely to be searchable in your blog : ( You may check this keywords tool )
4. Blog Niche ( Blogs with particular topics an example is Philippine Election 2007 ( niche is Philippine Election ).
5. Mixed or blend the colors of your Adsense Ads into the colors of your blog. ( Be careful this might post danger with your adsense)
6. If it is possible do not use borders in you Google Adsense code.
7. The best location of search box is on the upper right corner
8. Monetize your blog if you have about 100 or more visitors a day
9. Don’t Monetize those blogs that there is no visitors since as per my experience whenever I put the code in those site without good amount of Visitors the adsense ecpm other blogs is not performing well. ( This is what Adsense Called Smart Pricing )
10. Do not click your own ads or get banned. ( very important )
11. Do not bring your Google Adsense in area where there are danger of clicks. Google Adsense might banned you for this
12. Put your adsense code in an area wherein if somebody landed on your page they can easily see them.
13. Use Firepox as your browser, but you can also use other if you prefer.
14. Predict the keywords that your possible reader will look in the future. For example in my Philippine Election 2007 site I have predicted that after the election date, most of Filipinos will look for ” Election Result ” and therefore the next post that I made mentioned about the ” election result “, “proclaimed Winner” etc.
15. Study your adsense performance by using Google Ad Channels, this will give you information on what adsense location giving good conversion to make more money.
16. If your blogs is having a very high traffic I would suggest you have to use picture ads but if not you better use text only and not combine. Based on my experiment text gives a higher CTR ( Click Through Rate ) than Pictures.
17. Put some Link Text at the upper portion of your blog under the header pictures. ( I am still experimenting on this It makes good result. )
18. Stop MFA at your site! Although it has been reported that adsense is stopping this MFA ( Made for Adsense ) Site.
19. I turned off my onsite advertiser sign up . Some says that it might increase your CTR ( No hard evidence but it is worth trying ) Not Applicable
20. Hold your payment until it reaches your desired amount then use the DHL service in receiving the cheque. ( You may now use Western Union to make it easy )
21. Keep on reading my blog entry for adsense
22. Last but not the list subscribe to my RSS and Email.. ( nice huh )
