6 Ways To Increase your Adsense Revenue

How much revenue do you generate from Google Adsense?

Recently
there has been a lot of discussion about people who earn over $10,000 a
month just from Adsense. Furthermore, there are rumors of a few
individuals who earn over $1 million a year just from using the power
of Google advertisements.

So what is Google Adsense and how can you use this program to earn a six-figure income?

About two years ago, Google created this program to help websites to monetize their web-traffic.

Here's how it works:

Webmasters
obtain a special code from Google which then displays targeted ads on
their website. Whenever a visitor clicks on one of these ads, the
webmaster earns a commission. Unlike other online businesses, there is
no selling involved. All you need to do is get people to click on the
ads.

Although this is an excellent way to generate an income,
many websites are not effectively maximizing their Adsense potential.
As a result, they are leaving a lot of cash on the table.

The question is how can you increase your Adsense revenue without increasing the number of web visitors?

The
key to earning an income with Google Adsense is to have your ads match
the rest of the site, making them look like part of your content. Your
focus is to avoid having the Adsense blocks look like blatant
advertisements.

The following are six ways that you can do this and increase your revenue at the same time:

1) Find the right place-
Most website visitors read content that is in the middle of a webpage.
As a result, the best place to put your Adsense block is in the top
part of the page, at the beginning of your web content. You want to
weave the Google Ads into your web content to give the appearance that
they are extra links which expand on the information of the page.

2) Use the Large Rectangle-With
Google Adsense, you have the option of picking different ad formats.
Most of the time people opt to use the Leaderboard (728x90) or Wide
Skyscraper (160x600) style ads. Unfortunately, this is the wrong
choice, because both look like blatant advertisements. Instead smart
webmasters have found that using the Large Rectangle (336x280) yields
the best amount of click-thrus.

3) Ditch the border-
Many people experience a sharp increase in Adsense revenue when they
changing their border. What they change is very simple…they get rid of
the border on their Adsense blocks. This is another way to make the
advertisements look like useful web content.

4) Adapt the font-
Whenever you write content, it should be the same font size and style
as your Google Adsense block. This will help make it appear that the
advertisements are a natural part of your website.

5) Match the colors-
In addition to changing the fonts, you also should match the colors of
your website. For instance, if your content is written in black, and
your hyperlinks are blue, then the Adsense blocks should also be the
same color. Again, this helps the advertisements appear to be normal
web content.

6) Don't have too many distractions-
On a webpage, it is important to give web visitor a limited number of
options. By having too many links and graphics, the web visitor might
go to a section that doesn't help increase your profits. While it is
important to inform and entertain your web visitor, it is also vital
that you monetize your site. So if the main focus of your site is to
earn an income through Google Adsense, then get rid of all
non-essential links and graphics.

By taking the time to
implement these six simple steps, you'll see a dramatic increase in the
click-thru ratio of your ads. If added to all of the content of your
site, your Adsense income will skyrocket!
