How to Make More Money with AdSense
Alright so you got a popular website but the money is still missing. There is probably a couple of easy and quick improvements you can do to make more money from your website with AdSense.
Having AdSense ads on a website is a great way to make money from it but you might not get as much of a profit as you were hoping for. Then it’s time to make some small changes to improve the profit. The most common way I see people use Google AdSense ads on their website is by not changing the default colors and just putting in 1 or 2 ad units. Then leave those ads alone and never try optimize them for maximum earnings.
To make money with AdSense you need to always keep track on what ads is performing well and what ads are lagging behind. Add a different channel to each ad to track the individual ad performance. That way you can easily see where you need to put your focus and improve your website earnings faster.
Know how to get people to notice the ads on your site. The way humans (at least those who read read from left to right) scan websites, and anything else for that matter, is from the top left to the bottom right – and images are eye catchers. Just this short piece of information should give you a lot of insight on where you where you want your ads to be. To get more clicks its crucial that you try new placements and color combinations for your ads. Don’t make too many changes at once so that you can keep track on the statistics and find out what’s working and what’s not for your website.
Since image ads are eye catchers you can afford to place these far away from where you got your main content and most your visitors attention will still be drawn to the picture. This makes image ads perfect if you can’t fit enough of the default combination of text and image ads close to your main content.
Here’s an example of where to put 3 AdSense content ads for maximum visibility
- One ad would go in the upper left corner to be the first thing that visitors spot on the web page.
- Then another one somewhere in the middle of the content.
- And the last one in the bottom right.
For the link unit ad to get alot of clicks you should eighter put it as a horizontal “menu” in the top center of your website or put it below the main navigation menu of your website.
Keep in mind that the maximum number of AdSense units is limited to 3 content ads and 1 link ad per page. You want to always show them all to generate the most money as possible from your website. If you can’t make it look good with all the ads you should not give up and try further until you got all the ads up and looking good. If you already got all ads up and want to make more money from them (of course you do) then try to integrate bigger ads!
