Google AdSense For Dummies

Google AdSense matches ads to your site’s content, and you earn money whenever your visitors click on them. As simple as that. You put ads in your website provided by Google. Whenever, visitors clicks the ads to see the content, you get paid. Once your total earning reaches $100, you will receive the payment from Google.

AdSense for content automatically crawls the content of your pages and delivers ads (you can choose both text or image ads) that are relevant to your audience and your site content; ads so well-matched, in fact, that your readers will actually find them useful.

2. Can I really earn from AdSense?

Sure! Trust me, if you are REALLY willing to put in the effort, you can earn a decent amount of money through AdSense. Recently there was a post in AdSense blog (AdSense.blogspot.com) that a person finally decided to retire from his 9 to 5 job as his AdSense income was enough for him. This will help him concentrate more on marketing his website to gain more visitors. If he can, why can’t you?

3. What are the minimum requirements for participating in AdSense?

a. A website or blog which has decent number of visitors per day. It must be understood that you must have at least a functional website to earn through AdSense. You don’t need to have a website provided you have a blog which is running and active. If you are a beginner, I recommend you to first concentrate on building your website, marketing and driving traffic. If you are serious enough, consider even buying a website with decent amount of visitors.

Do not rush to experiment with AdSense if you are just beginning to build your website. If you see the statistics, the disabled AdSense accounts out there are more of beginners than the seasoned web publishers. The fact is that beginners, out of frustration, sooner or later try to click their own ads to increase their earning which leads to the disabling of their account. So watch out your step.

b. A bank Account.You need to own a bank account if you want to receive payments from Google AdSense. You cannot encash the cheque they send unless you have a bank account. You don’t need to have an international bank account. Your local bank account will do fine.

4. Is there any alternatives for AdSense?

Well, there are similar programmes mimicking Google AdSense out there. Like Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN), overture and so on. But none is as effective as Google AdSense.

5. Why AdSense is so effective?

The main reason of success behind AdSense is that it is owned by the industry leading search engine group, i.e., Google. Leveraging on the supremacy of their search engine, AdSense can deliver contextually targeted ads with ease than any other vendor. They make use of the database of millions of stored webpage across the net to deliver targeted ads. Thus the ads are well matched; superior to any other service like YPN.

6. How can I increase my earnings?

a. Website Marketing

The primary way to increase your earning. More Visitors = More Clicks = More Money. As simple as that. Increase traffic to your website and you should see growth in your AdSense income.

b. Ad Placements

Sure! Ad placement counts as well. We as surfers, normally programmed not to click on any ads. Thus the success lies in integrating AdSense ads with your webpage; i.e., making it look like as if part of the content. Then you will see a rise in click through rate.

c. Keyword Analysis

It should be understood that not all ads are priced at the same price. There are ads which is priced as low as one cent. Then there are ads which is priced as high as 5-10$ per click. Normally, we cannot determine the click-through price of an ad. But we can control the general pricing by suitably choosing the content. For example, ads about camera review will pay less compared to ads about camera products. So, we should wisely choose the content of website. Generally ads on insurance and travel sector tend to pay more.

7. How to apply for Google AdSense?

Once your website is ready, sign up with Google AdSense from their home page. Your website will be reviewed by the specialists at AdSense. Once your website is approved, you can deliver targeted ads by pasting a few lines of html code into your webpage.

AdSense is run by Google and is basically an application for the purpose of managing advertisements. Those who own websites are given the opportunity to use AdSense for the purpose of managing images, texts as well as video advertisements on their web pages. These adverts are managed by Google and help them earn money on the basis of per-impression or per-click transactions.

AdSense Background:
Those who are looking to advertise with the help of AdSense are required to enroll with AdWords. AdSense has become increasingly popular over the years because these advertisements are different from banners with respect to interference and annoyance. Moreover, the information offered by the advertisement is related to the content of the website.

JavaScript is used by AdSense for the purpose of including adverts within websites that require them.
AdSense has created ripples on the industry that focuses on affiliate marketing. Naturally, due to this reason, those affiliate merchants that do not possess a strong market standing get wiped out faster and consequently ad networks experience a decline in their customer base.

In case you are part of such an ad network due to which losing money has become usual, it is essential that you abandon such a network and consider AdSense so that you can experience an inflow of cash.

Using AdSense, search:

The following benefits will be experienced by those using AdSense:

1-AdSense for Search as an application allows individuals with the opportunity to provide and create a list that consists of websites that must be searched through. This will allow you to send traffic to those of your websites that do not experience in the same on a regular basis. You can do so by adding AdSense as a search engine on a webpage of your choice.

2-Basic search engines provide search results in such a way that the most recently added posts are shown first and the rest follow. AdSense, however, displays search results in such a way that it is based on the user’s personal requirement.

3-With the help of AdSense, you are given the opportunity to access your search results on your own website.

4-AdSense offers such information in search results that makes it easier for user to sift through it.

5-AdSense offers opportunities to interested individuals to earn extra cash online.

6-AdSense, search allows individuals to access those queries that have prominence. This helps users to create new posts and come up with newer ideas.

An AdSense banner must be as big as possible so that it attracts enough attention for best results. The average size must be about 336×280 and the individual must stick to white as a color for its border as well as background.

If you wish to add more than one banner, spreading out AdSense banner is considered to be most effective.
The free AdSense e-book can be downloaded off a number of websites. This offers individuals with benefits, limitations and requirements of AdSense. This free AdSense e-book is easily available to those who are interested in the same.

Free AdSense templates are as easily available which offers layouts for websites that include Blogger, Invision Power Board, phpBB, Wordpress, etcetera. Finding a good AdSense niche is important in this respect as it will make it easier for you to choose an AdSense template.

An AdSense theme is different from other AdSense blogger templates. An essential element of AdSense themes is that they place advertisements around the content instead of the other way round as is carried out by most other websites and advertisers. Advertisements and URLs are strategically placed around each post so that exposure can be made maximum.

A number of themes will offer individuals with the ability to carry out easy placement of ads within individual posts. This is considered to be a fool proof way to receive a large number of ad clicks from each individual who visits the blog. This makes it easy to blog with AdSense.

In order to experience AdSense money making, one should make sure that adequate traffic is directed towards one’s website. If this is not the case, ad clicks will not be possible. Search engine optimization, article marketing and website promotion tools enable websites to receive more traffic. The web page must be created in such a way that the ads fit into the content as this enables increased ad clicks. Therefore, making money, AdSense and strategic placement of advertisements are directly related to each other.

AdSense blogger templates are easily available on a number of websites and blogs. It allows individuals to give a new look to their blogs and therefore increase traffic.

Those who own small websites, after installing a plug-in are given the benefit of displaying relevant advertisements and texts that are personalized according to the needs and requirements of visitors. If the owner of such a website is also the owner of a number of other sites, the application need not be carried out more than once. The previously mentioned Javascript is placed in such a way that the advertisements appear in the same location. Naturally, the advertisements from Google will not take that much time to be displayed. This brings an end to the problem of applying to several affiliate programs. It also keeps a record of the several URL’s that have been visited along with passwords and domain names.

AdSense or Google ads, due to their easy creation and customization can be strategically placed in any corner of your website.

We can find many discussions on AdSense on almost all major discussion boards, forums and blogs. AdSense has become a buzz for teenagers who want to meet their personal expenses by running blogs of their personal interests. Even fulltime webmasters research to find various techniques for consistent revenue generation without any copyright infringement and violations of copyright laws.

Ironically many authors who claim to be the authority on AdSense and other advertisement media are still thriving to generate consistent revenue online. For this reason, there is no point in buying ebooks on this topic. All the information that you ever needed can be found online and especially at Google’s own pages. AdSense is a Google owned program that allows webmasters to display pay per click ads on their webpages. These advertisements are content sensitive (or contextual). This means that if you have a website on computers, advertisements displayed will be about computers. AdSense ads are highly relevant and it is because of this reason it is more successful. In fact, in the 3rd quarter of the year 2007, Google made a whopping $1.45 billion just from AdSense alone.

There have been other ways of online advertising like popups and banner ads. However, these are not so profitable and efficient when compared to pay per click ads. When was the last time you clicked on a banner or waited to see what a popup was about to display? The answer would be rare. However, the case is different with pay per click ads. As, these ads are contextual thus they can easily blend in with the content of the web page. Users click on the ads only when they are interested in the ad, this proven result generates huge targeted traffic to the advertiser. Targeted traffic means more conversions in return of investment and profits.

Being a webmaster or an active blogger you might have already known that “To increase revenue from AdSense earnings we have to place multiple ads on rich content web pages. Here are some tips in maximizing your revenue with multiple advertisements.

Make sure the ad unit with the highest CTR is the first ad unit in the HTML code of your page. We’ve heard that there may be some confusion on this, so here’s some clarification on how we serve ads to a page once we know which ads win the auction.

First we would start with selecting the ad unit on our main web page. I got some amazing results when I selected an ad size of 300×250 rectangle. Apart from selecting the right size, it is also important to select the right place and color of the ad unit.

I went through a survey on how a person uses the Internet. The results were remarkable, most of the users move the cursor in the centre or on the extreme right corners of a web page. Considering these facts it would be sensible to place the ads in the middle of the page or on the right hand side of the web page.

Selecting the ad color is also important. We can select the ad units which match the web page color and start placing them in between the content.

How about selecting the keywords which yield good money! It is always important to write a quality content which the visitors find valuable. If the content is based on high frequency keywords then it would be great!

Now that you have known few tips on AdSense, let us try these tips and watch your earnings grow!

Most of the Google AdSense publishers commit mistakes naively which could ban their AdSense account.

These AdSense tips are derived from Google Program policies, Terms & Conditions and FAQ’s.

1. Never click your own AdSense ads or get them clicked for whatever reason.
2. Never change the AdSense code.
3. Do not place more than 3 advertisement units or 2 AdSense search boxes on any web page.
4. Do not disclose confidential information about your AdSense account like the CTR, CPM and income derived via individual ad units.
5. You do not need to create 5 accounts for 5 different websites. One account will do.
6. Label headings should be “sponsored links” or “advertisements” only.
7. Do not add it on web pages with MP3, Video, News Groups, and Image Results. Also exclude any pornographic, hate-related, violent, or illegal content.

Prevention is better than cure, so whenever you are in doubt it is better to ask AdSense for help.

Those who have done it and are still doing it as we speak have quite a few useful tips to help those who would want to venture into this field. Some of these tips have boosted website earnings through AdSense quite alot in the past and continue to deliver results.

Here are the 5 most basic proven ways on how to best optimise your Google AdSense earnings:

TIP #1 – The AdSense Format

The one format that has work very well for me in the past, and still delivers today, is the so-called Large Rectangle (336×280). This format has resulted in higher click through rates (or CTR). Meaning more visitors out of 100 visitors click on my AdSense ads. The reason for this format outperforming other formats is that the links in this format look more like web links than ad links. Alot of people tend to avoid clicking on ads when they spot them. Choosing this format helps in making your audience ‘ad-blind’.

I’ve also had good results with the Medium Rectangle (300×250) in some occasions. Open your AdSense account and have a look at the format. It resembles the Large Rectangle format. Your best bet is to test the two and see which one outperforms the other on your site. I suggest to test both for at least a week.

TIP #2 – Custom Color Palette

Create a custom color palette to match the main colors of your site. You will see tremendous increase in AdSense earnings if you make your AdSense ads look exactly like the standard web links on your site. If your links are blue, make the AdSense links blue. If the background is white, make the background as well as the border of your AdSense ad white too. Your ad will look as if it is part of your site and will not look like a block of ads people avoid.

Here’s another color tip. Use it if you understand what I mean. I’ll give an example. I have a site with several articles on it. All the articles have a green title and the text is grey. The links on the site are all blue. But, my visitors are really interested in the articles I got published. So what I did is change all my AdSense color palettes on that site to green links with grey text. All the ads look like little previews of articles. I can’t prove it, but my earnings increase by 400% on that site from then on. Again, not all sites are created equal… If you know what I mean.

TIP #3 – AdSense Position

What I recommend is that if you have AdSense ads in the bottom of your site, remove them, or move them to the top. What you want is you want people to click. And if I tell you that most people are active “above the fold”, meaning don’t even bother to scroll down, than you want your ads to be in sight at all times. If your ads are at the bottom, move them to the top. Put them where people can see them quickly.

TIP #4 – Use channels

Channels help you in conducting a good analysis of the performance of ads. Use custom channels to check what web pages are making more money and which ones are obviously not doing so well. Custom channels can be used for conducting analysis on multiple aspects at the same time. Use this analysis for making changes to your AdSense ads. Improving website content can also get you better results. If can get people interested in more, chances are high they will look for more resulting in a click on one of your AdSense ads.

TIP #5 – Limit The Filters

Filters are useful for blocking ads that you do not want displayed on your website e.g. ads of competitors. You can filter out ads that you think are not paying you well by inserting the domain name of these ads in the “competitive ad filter” feature in your AdSense account. However, too many filters can seriously limit your revenue earning potential from AdSense Ads. So, limit the use of filters to minimum.

CONCLUSION

These are some of the tips that have worked well for me on all of my sites. It’s important to note that ads should serve as a beneficial part for your visitors. People are looking for good info. If you give them good info they will surely want more. If not your visitors will leave. Ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the visitors viewing them. Focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already.

Here are some tips that you MUST follow to become a successful AdSense publisher:

1. Be sure to read the AdSense Terms and Conditions and Program Policies thoroughly and comply with them at all times – no exceptions! Google is almost fanatical about its guidelines being complied with. It is absolutely critical that you comply at all times with every AdSense term and condition and policy to avoid having your account (and all your AdSense ads) shut down by Google.
2. If you are new to AdSense don’t assume you know anything at all about being a successful publisher. Read up on absolutely everything you can find about the program and make sure you have the correct tools at hand to become a success.
3. Become an expert at optimizing your sites and web pages. This does take some little time and effort on your part but the correct ad placement, and the right choice of top paying keyword, means the difference between a click through ratio of 0 and a click through ratio of 8 percent or more.
4. Spend a lot of time searching the web looking at examples of other publisher’s AdSense websites and see how each individual site, including blogs, is benefiting from AdSense.
5. Google will not tolerate you clicking on your own ads so don’t even think about it.
6. Don’t ask your friends and family members to click on your ads. You can earn money instead by referring them to the program themselves.
7. Don’t join the program simply to make money. It is NOT a get rich quick scheme. It will take time and effort to make a profit.
8. While the program is relatively user friendly don’t expect to get a complete grasp of how everything works as soon as you start. Expect to take a short while to get used to everything and to learn every facet of becoming a successful AdSense publisher.

By following this list of dos and donts you are well on your way to becoming a successful AdSense publisher. One of the fundamentals of AdSense success is optimizing your web pages with the best top paying AdSense keywords.

This is the ultimate position to be in for an AdSense publisher, after which the potential to make serious money is all in your hands. Success is there for you to gain or squander depending on your knowledge and skill.

The best way to get to the top is to apply some essential AdSense Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques. Firstly, you need to do some essential keyword research. With your keywords all pre-prepared you are in a position to do some AdSense SEO.

With a good solid foundation in the form of good well researched keywords you are in a position to build a solid AdSense SEO campaign. On-page AdSense SEO involves using everything in your power to optimize your site for the search engines, whereas off-page involves using methods outside of your site (creating articles, blogs and forums etc…). In this article we are going to concentrate mostly on the three most important elements relating to on-page SEO.

From a search engine perspective the most important on-page SEO elements are:

• Full URL: This is the domain name, directory structure and file name
• Page title: Found between the <title> tags in the head section
• Heading tag: <h1> and <h2> tags very important elements but often poorly used
• Body text: Actual content of your website
• Meta tags: These are placed in the <head> tags. It is basically a short description of the page used for snippet creation by search engines and some directories

One of the most important places to use the keyword’s that describes your website is in the URL; primarily the domain name. No matter what anyone says, Google and especially Yahoo give significant weight to domain names. It is prominent and states unequivocally what your site is about. Domain names matter and it is worth investing in a good one if the ones that best describes your site isn’t available. But… if your AdSense site is niche, if you did some good keyword research, you shouldn’t have a problem ensuring that your AdSense SEO campaign gets off on the right foot.

However, if you can’t get your general keywords in the domain name make sure that the filename contains your most important keywords.

Next important is the page title. To ensure that the search engines, know what your page is about and to make sure it turns up in relevant search queries, you have to make sure you deploy your keywords wisely in the page title. Search engines use the page title as a quick means of summarizing a page, they also use it as a link for the results they generate for each site. A good AdSense SEO title needs to contain the best descriptive keywords, but it also needs to attract the attention of a potential visitor. Remember, page titles don’t have to be short, but ideally according to W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) it shouldn’t be more than 64 characters long (including spaces). So pay close attention to them making sure that the AdSense keywords used in your page title are also present in the URL, heading and your meta-tags.

After the page title the most important on-page element is the heading tag. This is one of the most important, yet most underused element on the page. The primary reason for this is because it doesn’t look good when used raw (without CSS styling). But search engines ’see’ <h1> and <h2> tags. They recognize the keywords placed in them and they are given significant SEO weighting. Use heading tags to organize the look of the content on your website. You can use headers to create useful keyword rich titles within your pages to describe the content of paragraphs of text. Breaking up the page this way helps with the visual look of your web page, giving your page plenty of white space and making it easier on the eye of your visitors.

These are the primary AdSense SEO factors to consider when putting together your website. You should also try to distribute you page specific keywords liberally throughout the pages of your site. Meta-tags are not given much relevance by the search engines so don’t spend too much time optimizing this aspect of your site.

AdSense SEO is crucial for success. Making sure you adhere to a few essential rules ensures that your website turns up on the most relevant search queries. There is however, a none SEO, but equally important reason to optimize you website with keywords. The more keyword rich and specific your site the better the quality of ads Google delivers to you. A good AdSense SEO campaign is a win, win practice. It may take time but it is a process practiced by the most successful AdSense publishers and is well worth the effort to make that extra AdSense cash.
