Don't make the ads look like Ads!
People
get turned off by ads with borders. We are psychologically
trained to think that anything surrounded with a border is
probably an ad. Look at all the print media and all over the
web, and you'll notice that most ads have
borders that alert visitors that they are ads. This is NOT
what You want to do!
Go
in your Google Adsense Layout tool and change the border
colors and backgrounds to match your website colors. This will
make them look like they are part of your site not ads. I
cannot emphasize this enough.
Removing
borders will increase your clickthrough rate immediately
3.
Add a Google Search Box on your website.
Such
a simple thing but often overlooked. Did you know that if your
site visitors use your Google Search box you get credited with
a click? People surf the web for one primary reason -- to find
information. Your website provides information. However, it is
rare that we find what we want on one website. And, if we want
more info we tend to want to search for more. How convenient
to have a Google Search box at the end of your article!
2.
Provide good content.
You
may be tempted to put little content on your site. After all
you want people to click on the ads not stay on your site.
This may have some truth in it, but think of it the other way.
Having valueable content on your site means that your visitors
are more likely to bookmark your site, and the search engines
will like your site better.

And the NUMBER ONE secret to Making Money with Adsense....
Put
up as many sites as possible! Yes, this is what is never told
to you. Why invest all your energy trying to get traffic to
one site? What if the topic you chose is not a very popular
one or has so much competetion that you get little traffic? A
well known strategy is to put up as many sites as possible and
then monitor the results to see which ones work and which ones
don't. With the ones that do, put in extra effort to get more
traffic to those sites.
To
do this without buying a domain name for each one, get an
account at a web host that allows unlimited subdomains. When
you register a name get something general for each theme. Then
use subdomains to make all the related sites.
Finally,
if designing web sites is not your strong point, you can get
pre-built sites and/or templates which are already layed out
with the techniques I described. That will get you up and
running pretty quick. Take a look at http://www.instant-adsense-websites.com.
Much
Success!
