With personal and commercial blogs, community websites, and social pages becoming the hot topic of the Internet in the last few years, many people have become more Internet-literate and are always looking for ways to make a few hundreds or even thousands from their websites. This is when Google Adsense comes into play. Google Adsense, unlike Affiliate Programs, is CPC (Pay-Per-Click) and the good thing about it, is you can still earn some bucks without making a sale. <\/p>\n
As with any other things in this world, it takes time, effort and dedication before you could earn some decent amount from Google Adsense. And here are some of the tips and tricks to help you with your Google Adsense journey. <\/p>\n
1. Blend your ads to your website layout<\/strong> 2. Do not display a border<\/strong> 3. Do not place your ads in normal spots<\/strong> 4. Choose the right ad formats<\/strong> 5. Good layout design<\/strong>
\nThis could be considered as one the most important things which is often overlooked. Instead of using predefined colors provided by Google, try changing colors of your ads to match the website layout. For example, if your website uses white background with green text, make sure you use the same colors for your ads. <\/p>\n
\nWhile you can't get rid of the border around your ad, you can make it invisible by changing the border color to that of the background. Researches have shown that ads without a visible border generate much higher clicks than those with one. <\/p>\n
\nInternet users have become accustomed to the normal ad spots (eg: a Leaderboard above your header, a Skyscrapper outside the content) and hence, any ads placed in those normal spots will often be ignored. <\/p>\n
\nThere are a few ad formats which perform better than others. Some of the recommended ad formats are Wide Skyscrapper, Medium Rectangle and Horizontal Ads Links. However, these ad formats may not necessarily work for everyone, so choose the ones that work for you. <\/p>\n
\nAlthough a good layout design does not necessarily increase your Adsense revenue, it is important for the first impression and also for the professionalism.
