By Zac Johnson / Adsense, Make Money Online

Adsense Are you currently using Google Adsense on your blog, or even thinking about it?

Then stop here now! ;)

You’ve to ask Five Question to yourself Before Using Google Adsense.

This blog post just might open your eyes to what you might be doing to your blog and audience for just a few dollars. There was a previous post on this blog titled “12 Things to Do Before Applying for Google Adsense“, which walks you through the process of what you need to make sure you blog looks like and has before applying to Google Adsense. We are going to take that same approach, but with a few different questions to ask yourself if you really want to sacrifice your blog and traffic to the almighty Google Adsense!

How much is your site traffic worth?

Before using any advertising solution, you need to know what your traffic is and how much they are worth. Entertainment sites and blogs have a low value per user, as they are pretty much there just to view pictures and get news. Product reviews and coupon sites have a high value per user, as they are already in buyer mode. Knowing your average visitor value is a very important thing to know!

Are you playing by Google’s rules at all times?

Lately Google has been on a tear and throwing many sites out of their Google Adsense program. No matter their reason Google may banner your account, once you are tossed, you are gone for good and they will also keep all of the money remaining in your account as well. Do you really want to work with an ad network that can keep all your profits from this and the previous month? As a Google Adsense partner, you always need to play by their rules at all times.

Can you make more money going directly?

Have you even thought about selling your own banner ad space? There is a good chance you can find a quality advertiser in your niche that will pay a much higher CPM premium over what Google Adsense will pay you. If you are running 125×125 banner ads on your site you can probably fill four to ten of these banner spots and make several times more than what Google Adsense could ever earn you.

Are you killing your profits by using Google Adsense?

One of the best ways to kill your profits is by throwing Google Adsense on your site. If you are selling products, trying to get people on your mailing list or get them to take any other action… Google Adsense will hurt you. Keep your focus on your end goal of either getting people on your list or getting them to take action. If you have a solid monetization plan for your site, Google Adsense probably shouldn’t be one of them.

Lastly… do you like giving away your traffic for a few pennies per visitor?

When did you last click on a Google Adsense banner?

I’m not sure if you remember. ;)

But whenever someone clicks on any Google Adsense banner, they leave the site they are currently on and get swooshed off to another site. Most of the time Google Adsense is only paying a few pennies per click. Are you losing your traffic for just a few pennies? If you are, it’s not a good business model at all!

Don’t get me wrong… :D

Google Adsense has made BILLIONS of dollars for Google and their publishers… but there is a reason why it’s so ridiculously easy and simple to setup. Google is making a ton of money by lazy site owners just placing a code on their site and not knowing better. There is nothing wrong with using Google Adsense, but there are much better and more profitable ways to make money!

Why I Always See Zero In My Adsense Account?

By romysingh / Adsense, Make Money Online

People often ask me that Why I always see zero in my Adsense account?
I simply reply that there could be many reasons for why you are not making any cents with Adsense. But some main reasons which kill the clicks are going to get listed down below by me, so next time you able to avoid those things.
If you want to earn a good income with Adsense then you have take care of many things that makes whole lot difference in people’s earning.

People often ignore these things and thinks that by getting high amount of traffic and putting some Adsense ads on blog will make visitors to use their mouse. No, if you think like that then you are going to remain with zero for your whole life.

But if you want to see some 3 or 4 figures number in your account then you have to take care of all those things.

Set The Whole Things Up

People often gets excited that now my Adsense account got approved I will start earning a huge dime, all I have to do is just put the ads on my blog. I will not say that they think anything wrong, but they do it wrong.

Once they got Adsense account in their hands they simple jump in their account grabs the ad code and put it on their blog. And wait for visitor to click on their ads. If you are doing the same then let me tell you one thing that no one is going to click on your ad even if you wait a decade.

If you want peoples to click on your ads then make them click on your ads.

And for that you need a proper setting of everything like integration of Google Analytics and where you are going to show your ads, which size will be best and many other things. Just set the everything up so that you can track and see what visitors are doing and why not they are using their mouse.

Get Your Post Interlinked

Lots of people often forget about interlink there blog posts, which leads into loss in Adsense earnings and increase in bounce rate. And both are very major enemies of any blogs.

Try to interlink your each post, because it creates a loop for visitors where you have higher chances of getting clicks on your Adsense ads.

Remember the more time people will spend on your blog the higher chances you have to get your ads click and not only that you also get a good bounce rate for your blog, which is most necessary element when it comes to creating a successful blog.

Split Testing Is What You Need

What you are not making any bucks in Adsense after doing all necessary things. Then there must be something wrong, but you can’t able to find what cutting your clicks then there is only one way to know that and the way is known as split testing.

Do split testing know that why you are not making any bucks in Adsense. Check your ads placements by split testing, check ad sizes by split testing and many other things. Use split testing wherever you have a doubt that this thing can cut my click.

Keep testing to get 3 or 4 digits showing in your Adsense account.

So share views and what you did to get rid of zero? In comment section please.

Top 5 Best Ways to Increase Adsense Revenue

By arjunchauhan24 / Adsense

Adsense is one of the most trusted ways for bloggers to earn money using their blog. But extracting money from Adsense is really tough, especially for the people who are using it for the first time. Making your first $100 on Adsense could be really difficult, that’s when you are a rookie. On the other hand we see professional bloggers earning thousands of dollars daily. How come? Well, there are a lot of reasons for the same but the main reasons are their traffic and good Adsense ad placements. If you too want to earn like those professionals then try reading these Top 5 Best Ways to Increase Adsense Revenue.

Ad Size

Ad size is something which doesn’t get the amount of consideration which it should get. Maximum rookie bloggers just ignore it, some of them consider it so much that they try fitting in the biggest size ads in the smallest sections of their blogs. I suggest you to use leader board ads if you are going to place the ads near the header, use middle or large rectangle if you are going to place ads above the post. The bigger will works best :D

Traffic Type

This is something which too is ignored by the rookie bloggers. The type of traffic is broadly classified into two types – Organic Traffic, people coming to your site through search engines etc are counted under this type. Inorganic traffic is the second type; people coming to your site through inorganic sources like Facebook are counted under this type. Organic traffic is the best, and people who are counted under that type are more likely to hit the Adsense ads. So try increasing the organic traffic count.

Placement

Placement is the most crucial part of increasing Adsense revenue. The best places to place your ads are between the posts, left sidebar, and on the right side of header. If your ads aren’t placed on the correct place then you won’t even earn a single penny, even if your blog is getting huge amount of traffic. There are bloggers getting well over 100 thousand visitors monthly but they earn just around $150 monthly because their Adsense ad placement is poor.

Adsense For Search

I suggest you to add Adsense everywhere you can. Include the Adsense ads in search; you can do so by using the custom search box code. You should even try adding Adsense for feeds. This way you will increase triple up your Adsense earning sources, which will ultimately lead to a huge hype in your earnings.

Ad Type

I suggest you to add image as well as text ads both in your posts but Images perform best and get high CTR, CPC. But I suggest you to add text ads above the posts and image ads on the header and on the sidebar.
