Tips to Succeed with Adsense

As you use Google’s AdSense for more and more time you begin to learn from the mistakes of the past, and you slowly begin to realize which of your actions kept your site from reaching its full potential.

But an important part to making a mistake is telling people about it and teaching them how to avoid making the same mistake. So this is a list of the top five mistakes people using AdSense make.

You should read them well, and see if any of them is applicable to your contents. If it is, you must stop and attempt to fix such errors as quickly as possible.

The first major no-no that everyone seems to be hitting at one point or another has to do with breaking the rules. Google’s AdSense is a great program but it relies on you respecting a few set rules.

The most important thing is not to create “artificial clicks” through any means possible. Never click your own links, never ask your friends or close ones to click the links and never, by any means have your content encouraging the visitors to click the links. You run the risk of being permanently banned, and that will definitely damage your revenue.

Failing to comply with Google’s terms could have your AdSense account suspended. And this is why this rule is by all means the most important one of all. It’s because this is the difference between life or death.

The second thing users get wrong a lot of time is having a bad color palette for ads. Many times this happens because the publishers aren’t knowledgeable enough to change default color palettes.

Others just can’t seem to spend enough time in changing those defaults. Having bad ads that stand out is sure to push people away from clicking; whilst having something which is clearly visible yet distinctive will.

Third, of course, the position of the ads is probably the key element you should get right if you want to maximize your profits with AdSense. This is noted in a lot of places on the web and Google talks about this as well. Google can provide you with statistics which illustrate what positions work particularly well on your website.

Fourthly, banner ads are also a very bad idea if you’re using AdSense. 480×60 type ads are a sure way to drive many people away as most Internet surfers have developed a natural resistance to such means of advertising.

And last, but clearly not least, is not taking care of the site running the ads. Because ultimately it doesn’t matter how cool the site is itself. If it doesn’t have updated contents and a lot of daily visitors it will probably never earn you any serious AdSense revenues.

So these are the most important five things people get wrong while using the AdSense program. But of course if you don’t like this means of expressing the issues, here are the top five things you should do to ensure your AdSense ads are constantly bringing in that revenue.

Never break Google’s policy. Don’t make visitors create “artificial clicks” on your website regardless of the person doing so or the reason. Make sure your ads have the right colors that blend in with your site, and make sure they’re positioned in the right places to attract as many customers as possible. Always try to avoid using banner-like (480×60) adds unless you really know what you’re doing and constantly keep your site fresh and up to date.

So with that in mind you should be raising your AdSense revenues in no time.

Do you have also tips how to make money without adsense ? lol

Archbob · 07-01-2009, 12:57 PM

These are basic tips that just about everyone knows. I'm a dissappointed that it doesn't go into deeper topics such as the relationship between how you do SEO marketing and adsense eCPM and the effects of certain keywords. These things are the real meat and only come via experience. Be nice if these article writers shared those.

@dWhite
Rule #1:
Do not create duplicate content. ;-)
Why do you post the same content as on your blog? The link would just be ok.

I also don't agree to your number 2 (default google colors are often best), number 4 (you're simply wrong. It depends on the content if banner ads or text ads do better), and #5 (there are a lot of arcades which do not update very often, but are very popular).

Just my thoughts, no offense is intended and have a nice day.

Hey Daniel,
How much money do you make from adsense?

Also i'll let to point out that they are just "Guidelines", For your own sites to fully exceed there expectations, Do not hire someone who just uses the same methods over and over... Instead experiment on your own pages and content.

As we are all in different countrys, Were all have different expectations about our targeted traffic and earnings. Conduct a studie on your site and move the layout around and around until you have a fixed slot which your happy to earn with.

I've learned enough for myself to stand by that statement.

Regards,
Antz

You can read this brief article, get a little creative and if you dont "dispute" everything and instead TEST it. I think it will be very valuable to anyone wanting to improve earnings. Now it is rather basic but some stuff in more detail should probably be sold not told IMO.
