Actually, I’m not making much money from adsense. It was only give me 300-400US$ a month. But even just with that amount of money, some of my friend still asking me the secret on how I can get it.
Well, now I am ready to tell you! The secret how I make money from adsense is “There is no secret at all! Because what I do is just following on others people trick that came out on forum, blog, and even from Google optimations Tips.
Ads unit Format
One thing I can tell you is people tend to use the 468×60 for their adsense form. Then no wonder if every internet user already realize that form is an ads. So, all you have to do is to avoid those form. Try to choose a rectangle form like 336×280, 300×250 or 250×250.
If you want to use a vertical form, then you better use 160×600. Avoid using this kind of format on 2 column website layout. If you use a 3 column layout use the middle sidebar between the main content and the side at the edge.
Ads placement
1.Remember to place your ads units on top of your website layout. So your visitor did not have roll the screen just to see your ads.
2.Don’t place your ads in one spot, spread it out all over your lay out
3.Place your ads in the content. If you have a long post you can place it one the top (below the title), between the post and between end of post and first comment.
Link Units
Don’t forget that Google has this type of ads. This links unit are often give you more click because people still not aware that link as and ads. The best shape of this type of ads is the 768×15 (5 units) and place it on the top of your header. This kind of layout give the impression that link unit is part of your navigation link.
Use Blended or Stand-Out
Blended means the combination of your link color on ads units or links unit has the same color with your lay out color. In the contrary, Stand-Out means the calor are set to pierce the eye of your visitor so it can grab your reader immediately. Me, my self are prefer to choose the blended strategy. And I used to use the air type of ads so it look like did not have a border at all.
Choose your own shape
Even though those strategy work very well on my income, it might work differently on your website lay out. You can see, in this blog I did not use that trick. But I apply my pledge trick which I also apply in my other blog. That is to put the ads unit below the archive widget. I set the archive widget to drop down menu, so the visitor can get the illusion that ads as my archive. You can see, what I mean on the picture below.
