Google AdSense tips - our AdSense how to series starts off with some AdSense tips that you might have missed out on.
Google AdSense is one of the best online advertising programs available today. Part of the appeal is that anyone can implement an AdSense campaign. You can get started with AdSense the moment you have a web site up and running. Many website owners today use Google’s AdSense to earn good revenue on a monthly basis. With just some basic knowledge, a website and some traffic, you too could be making money with AdSense.
In the first article of our AdSense how to series, we are going to look at a couple of basic Google AdSense tips:
1. Be sure you use multiple ad units. Google’s AdSense will allow you to use up to 3 ad units and one link unit on any single web page. A basic principal of AdSense is the more clicks you get, the more you earn. Makes sense to maximize your traffic with proper placement of the appropriate ad units. I don’t reccomend using the maximum number of ad units on every page, make sure it is not overdone, and that you have enough content to support the ad units. You don’t want people to leave your site for a lack of content!
2. Use the widest Ad format you can. Not every site will perform exactly the same, but in general, the wider AdSense ad units perform better than the more narrow ad units. In addition, pay attention to your placement of ad units. An ad unit as a banner typically has great click through ratios. Additionally, ad units located where a standard navigation bar would appear also perform very well.
3. Try not to filter more than you have to. Filters do have their place, I use filters on a couple of my sites to block some competetors, but I am very specific about who I want to block and why. If you block too many advertisers, it will hurt your revenue.
Check back in, we will be covering a wide range of topics concerning Google AdSense in the coming weeks. Additionally, if you are truly interested in making a living using AdSense, you might check out this page for more AdSense tips.
