If you're like nearly every Webmaster who has
Google Adsense on your websites, you have undoubtedly been tempted by
the Adsense Gurus who promise to teach you how to make a gazillion
dollars a month with no extra work. While this of course sounds
enticing, like everything else on the web; if it sounds too good to be
true, it probably is.
I'm going to tell you up front, for free, what all
the gurus charge $40 to $250 to learn.
Are you ready?
Are you sure you're ready to receive this earth
shattering, mind blowing secret that will MAKE YOU MONEY RIGHT NOW!?
The secret is; There are no Adsense
secrets!
Believe me, if there was a secret method to make
thousands of dollars a month with little to no work, none of these
gurus would go through all the effort to tell the world about it. They
would exploit the secret themselves and sit in their walrus leather
super massage loungers on their solid gold super yachts and laugh at
all the poor saps following the rules
There are no Adsense secrets, just common sense
and a couple of neat little ideas that you can implement that will
increase the CTR (Click Through Rate) of the Adsense ads being served
on your website. And an increased CTR means increased MIYP (Money In
Your Pocket).
The first thing you must realize is that content
is king. If your website does not have an abundance of keyword rich,
search engine friendly content that provides a valuable service to your
visitors, no amount of Adsense tweaking in the world will make a
difference. There are far too many sites slapped together with the sole
intention of generating Adsense income. In fact, for $40 or so on eBay,
you can buy a CD with over 350 websites themed to high paying keywords
and setup for Adsense. All you have to do is enter your Adsense
information and sit back while the Mailman struggles to deliver the
hernia inducing bags of Adsense checks to your doorstep.
This is a really cool fantasy, one that is almost
as fun to entertain as the winning the Lottery fantasy, but it just
isn't going to happen. These sites have no original, valuable content.
People who may be suckered into visiting one of the sites will see that
in an instant, and view the Google Adsense ads as a desperate and
annoying attempt at fooling them into clicking. If a live Adsense
editor were ever to visit one of these sites, your Adsense account
would be suspended quicker than you can say click fraud.
The underlying non-secret that all the Adsense
gurus want to sell you is that if your Adsense ads look like content,
and are tightly keyed to your own valuable, original content, you will
see your CTR rate double at the least, and more likely triple or more.
1. Remove the Adsense Border. By default, the
Adsense units are surrounded by a border with a text box at the top
that says "Ads by Gooooogle". You goal is to work the Adsense units
into your content as seamlessly as possible, so get rid of the borders.
Now, Google won't allow you to delete the borders, but they do allow
you to control the colors of nearly every element of an Adsense unit.
Simply make the border the same color as the background of your
website. This goes for the background color of the Adsense unit as
well, change it to match the background color of your webpage.
2. Use Rectangular Box Sizes for your
Adsense Units. Most people start out using the horizontal
skyscraper format, you know, the one that looks like a banner. The
problem is people have developed an advertising sensory overload, they
don't even see banner ads anymore, they visually
tune them out. You need to make your Adsense unit blend in with your
content, so use rectangular boxes. I get the best response with the
336X280 box size. Most languages are read from left to right, so try to
place your rectangular Adsense unit in a table aligned to the right of
your text.
3. It's all about the colors.
Google gives you an incredible amount of leeway with the colors you can
select for your Adsense units. Use this to your favor, in addition to
changing the border and background color, change the link and URL color
as well. Most people are accustomed to clickable links being blue, so
make sure your Adsense links are blue, with one exception: if you use a
different link color on your site, change the Adsense links to match
that color. At the bottom of each Adsense unit there is the URL for
website paying for that ad. You want to draw attention away from the
URL and towards the clickable link, change the color of the link to
match the body color of the ad, generally black.
Just follow these three simple guidelines and your
CTR will skyrocket. Keep adding more original, relevant content to your
site, increase your targeted traffic, and watch your Adsense revenue
explode.
There are many more Adsense techniques that will
increase your CTR, but these three are the most important.
