Do you know why I like Google AdSense? It is because it is one of the easiest ways to make money online though you must have to draw traffic to your blog for it to happen, but by and large it is easy. If you are really going to make money and you are serious about it then you are going to do some little ground work or know some fundamentals.
I’ve spent some time experimenting with the programme, when i signed up i got little or no clicks at all and that wasn’t good at all. I knew that, there must be a way to get more from my visitors to click on the ads. Google has a strict policy about not pointing to the ads in any way or asking people to click on them, so there were two things I couldn’t do. What else was there? I then remembered reading an article once that discussed the physiological impact of colours on the human mind. I did some research on colours and found one colour combination that seem to work the best for me. Testing previously done at supermarkets had revealed that the same product could pull more sales from just changing the colours of the label. The colours are RED and YELLOW combination! The combination of these two colours has an immediate effect on the person who sees them. They make your eyes stop and focus. They pull your eyes to that part of the page. They grab your attention! I changed my AdSense ads to bright yellow background with black text and URL. The click to my ads increase, that’s what worked on my site. Your site colour scheme may work better with a slightly different colour combination. Try lots of different colour variations. Make a change in the morning and let it ride for the whole day. The next morning, try a different set of colours. Change the border, background, text. Change everything you can. Most importantly, keep detailed records of the colour scheme you used, click ratio and revenue generated.
After you have done all the experimenting you want to do, go back to the most profitable one and let it run for a week and see how it does. There are a lot of colour combinations to choose from. You never know when you’ll find the right one.
Understanding Google AdSense:
Google AdSense allows webmasters to dynamically serve content-related advertisements on WebPages. It the visitors click on one of the AdSense ads served to the website, the website owner is credited for the referral. Google’s AdSense program essentially allows approved websites to dynamically serve Google’s pay-per-click Ad Word results. Website maintenance related to AdSense is very easy and requires very little effort. Webmasters need only to insert a Google generated java script into the webpage or website template. Google’s spider parses the AdServing website and serve ads that relate to the website’s content. Google uses a combination of keyword marching and context analysis to determine what ads should be served. The java script calls the ads from Google and will ensure that ads are served each time a visitor goes to the webpage. Early on, Google implemented a filtering system that allowed webmasters to prevent a specific domain’s ads from being served on any website on their account. Ad blocking meant that webmasters could prevent their competitor’s ads from being dynamically served on their WebPages. Google provides a wide variety of ads formats to match the most suitable option with a website. Webmasters can select from a variety preformatted towers, inline rectangles, banners and buttons. The ad boxes can be modified by webmasters to resemble the website’s colour scheme. Ads can also be geo-targeted based on the visitor’s location. Advertisement containing content in French, English, Germany, Portuguese, Japanese, or Spanish is all available.
Channels:
Google also introduced channels. When a channel is selected Google modifies the java script to include additional tracking information which allows webmasters to track a variety of metrics across their sites. Channels can be used to measure the performance on various domains, differences in revenue with various ad sizes or placement. By assigning each group of pages to a specific channel and comparing results in custom channel reports, webmasters can work at increasing their AdSense revenue.
Optimizing:
Google determines the content of the ads that are shown, webmasters, serious about earning revenue from Google AdSense, can use the following guidelines to optimize their websites and ensure that targeted and relevant ads are served. It Google’s spider has not crawled the site and determined the nature of the content, public service ads may be served. Public service will not accrue any AdSense revenue if clicked. As a result Google allows webmasters to designate alternate ads. Alternate ads allow webmasters to utilize the ad space in the event that Google is unable to serve targeted ads to the webpage. By specifying an alternate image, HTML page, or ad server, the advertising space can always be used effectively.
(1) Webpage content on pages that ads are served should be static not dynamic.
(2) Ensure that the robot.txt does not prevent the webpage from being spidered. Robot.txt files will need to be removed or the following text will need to be bedded to allow Google’s content bot to crawl the site.
(3) If the website contains frames, select the ‘frame page’ check box when generating the ad layout code for that website.
Revenue earned:
Google doesn’t disclose the exact revenue shared or percentage that webmasters will earn, webmasters will receive a portion of the amount paid for the clicks on Google ads on websites.
AdSense conclusion:
Google Adwords can provide great supplementary income to webmasters with content sites. Implementing and maintaining Google AdSense programme on a content site requires very little effort and can often bring a steady stream of income for the webmasters.
Google’s AdSense affiliate programme; the truth about it:
The truth about Google AdSense programme is that it is amazing. It’s the greatest affiliate programme ever invented. There is no affiliate programme even comes close. If you are not using Google’s AdSense, you are missing out on a great opportunity. Other affiliate programme that even comes close to Google’s AdSense is Amazon.com affiliate programme pays 5% percent commission and up for shipped products. It is not really clear how Google pays you but it seems fair. Here are some basic tips for signing up with Google’s AdSense programme.
(1) If you search multiple websites in different categories you’ll find one thing in common. Almost all of them have Google ads and nothing else. This is because most other programmes are a waste of time. Don’t take my word for it. Try other programmes, but don’t skip Google’s AdSense.
(2) Google’s search spiders are so specific, that the ads that appear on each page corresponds exactly to some element of that page. Therefore having ads from other companies is not a good idea.
(3) You can place text, image, banner ads and even a search box that will earn you revenue. Do not place a search box from another company on the same page as Google’s search box. They may cancel your account.
