Secret Adsense Basics

Despite what all the Adsense gurus will tell you, there is no huge secret to using Adsense. What all the ebooks and services tell you is exactly what you can find out from Google Adsense themselves or from doing some research on the Internet.

If you are new or relatively new to Google Adsense you might want to take into consideration the following basic tips:

1) Blending... The best way to get anything out of Adsense is to blend the ads within your website. Make them look like they are a part of your site. Use the same color of your site links for your Adsense ad links.

2) Placement... of what areas within a web page perform better as apposed to other areas. Use this as a guideline to placing ads within your own web pages. The trick is to experiment with different areas and see which areas perform better on your website. Remember no two websites are created equal, so what might work on someone else’s website might not work on yours.

3) Ad Limit… Google allows you up to 3 ad units and one link unit, along with up to two search boxes. Use as many as you can on your website without making it look cluttered.

4) Channels… Channels allow you to track the performance of your ads within your site through URL channels and custom channels. When you are setting up your ads to be placed on your website, make sure to use channels so you can know exactly which ad unit is performing. This is an invaluable tool, and one that isn’t used as often as it should.

5) Filtering Competition… with this feature Google allows you to filter out your competition of your niche area, allowing only complementary product and service ads to be placed on your site.

6) Content… Remember to keep your site updated with new contact as often as possible. The rule that I have heard is not more than a week between updates. New content brings visitors/customers back, which increases your Adsense revenue.

You’ll find these 6 tips just about everywhere you look on the Internet. They’re pretty basic because they work for everyone.

The only secret to Google Adsense is tracking your results and experimenting, along implementing these six tips.
