Google Adsense Tips for Weblog

Filed in: Adsense Tips, Google, Make Money Online, Weblog — March 23rd, 2005

After running Google Adsense for few months, here I share my adsense tips, for FREE. :)

Keep in mind: If you want to use Google Adsense, SHOW the ads to your blog readers! Do NOT hide the ads!

Ad Color
Try to match the ads to the theme color of your blog design. Make the ads as part of your blog. Standout ads with eyes catching colors does not work, at least not for my blog.

Ad Placement
The position of ads displayed in your blog is very important to get higher click rate.

  • Inside/bottom of blog entry(permalink)
  • For TOWER type, place at the right/left top of the page(without need to scroll down). It has much more clicks than put ads at the bottom.

Examples:

  1. Put Medium Rectangle at the bottom of blog entry.
  2. Put (Wide)Skyscraper at the Top Right of the page.

Ad Channel
The different ad placement and format may have different performance on your blog. Make use of the Ad Channel to track the ad performance. Name the channel with position and ad type(e.g.: top_left_skyscraper), give it a trial for a month and see the performance.

Warning:

  • DO NOT click your own Adsense ads.
  • DO NOT ask people to click on the ads

Thought:
These are the tips I gathered after running Adsense since September 2004. Hopefully they are helpful for you. And, please support my blog if they are helpful. :)

If you have better tips, please share with us. Thank you.

    [edited: removed adsense sensitive sentence. sorry.]

    Hey, liew, I hope google will not read it, or otherwise you might be in trouble. Click exchange is prohibited too, visitors only click on the ads when they interested in it.
    My earning from adsense is averagely USD 700 permonth but this month I’m gonna get more than USD 1,000 for the 1st time. Hope it will make you guys know what is the potential of adsense. One of my webmaster colleague from US even got USD 1,000 a day. If you guys would like to read few tips on adsense, you read my blogs http://www.adsense-blogs.com

    @alang: no, I do not do click exchange. Well, I better remove that sentence to avoid misunderstanding. Glad that your Adsense Blog is back. I am sure we can learn alot from you. :)

    Ya, my adsense earning is increasing alot this month too. I probably make RM1000 this month. Of coz, it is still far less to compete your USD1000!

    Yeah, I know that you do not do click exchange, but others who read it might misunderstood it.

    Wow, I know the feeling to get that kind of money for the 1st time. Just wait till your adsense income is more than your salary. You always feel like to quit your job. BTW, regarding the adsense blogs, as you can see not many content there, the blogs is more a place for me to share my experience with adsense rather than giving out tips like other adsense blogs. Maybe I will write it in Malay language, and targeting malaysian webmaster. I know lots of malaysian webmaster still do not aware the potential of adsense
