Google Adsense Tips 1-2-3
If you have a content-focused website or blog, a good way to earn revenue from your site is by offering
advertising. However, if you are busy developing content or writing blog posts, you not have the time to find
advertisers, place ads on your site, invoice advertisers and of course, renew ads.
Google Adsense offers a great alternative to website owners who want to make money with ads - but without
all of the work. By signing up with the Adsense Network, webmasters can copy and paste a snippet of code on
their sites, and Google Adsense does the rest.
No more finding advertisers, placing ads, collecting money, etc.. For a portion of the ad revenue generated
from your site, Google does all of that work for you. Website owners never have to pay out of pocket for the
Asense Netowrk service, since the revenue share is only collected after you have ads running that have made
money.
All that said, what are some of the best ways you can make money with Google Adsense on your website? Here
are some Google Adsense tips:
Adsense Tip 1: Ad Color and Font
Match the colors in your ads to the colors you use in your website. For example, if the links in your website
are blue, make the links in your Adsense blue as well. Matching your ads to your existing layout creates a more
professional look and also encourages viewers to look at the content of your ads as opposed to disregarding
them. This same philosophy applies to use of font face and font size, and you have the option to choose both
within the Adsense ad platform.
Adsense Tip 2: Ad Size
Studies have shown that there are specific ad sizes that outperform others. If these ad sizes fit well into the
layout of a blog or website, many site owners will chose to run these sizes to increase the ad revenue
potential. The sizes include 300x250, 160x600 and 728x90.
Adsense Tip 3: Ad Type
By allowing more companies to ads to run on your site, you can increase the amount of revenue your site can
generate. One way to do this is to choose to display both text ads and display as, rather than choosing just
one or the other.
Adsense Tip 4: Ad Placement
You don't want ads to distract your visitors from your own content, but you do want them visible. Many Adsense
professionals recommend placing an Adsense ad within the first fold of the page. This means that someone can
see the ad without having to scroll down the page.
Another good strategy is to place the ads within the content rather than in a separate space. This way,
visitors can easily see the ads while they are reading the content, and then choose whether or not they are
interested in clicking on the ad.
Something I recommend is to not place too many Adsense ads together. This often looks unprofessional and can
be overwhelming to the viewer. Disperse the ads throughout the page. You don't want your entire page to look
like one giant advertisement.
Adense Tip 5: Adsense Alternatives
There are other ad networks that you can use alongside Google Adsense ads. Combining ads from different
networks can increase your opportunities to generate revenue, but this strategy lets you choose from a variety
of different layouts and content so that all ads don't look the same.
Again, you don't want to place too many ads on your site (the visitor is not coming to your site to look for
ads), but a text ad placed next to an image ad can work well. Here are some popular ad networks that offer free
publisher programs:
