How to make your visitors click your ads

The Internet has become a positive but also a very crowded place. The visitor comes across lots of banners & other types of advertisements while surfing various sites. He plainly ignores nearly all of them. It is therefore necessary to know that the ‘Survival of the fittest’ rule applies to this section also. Only the best-looking advertisements get clicked & hence only those make such advertisements can do good business. Here are some tips to make your advertisements look attractive and appealing.

One important tip is to avoid making banner advertisements. Though banner advertisements were a working source long back, they are not so effective nowadays. The visitor has already visited 99 other banners before viewing yours & there are maximum chances that he will ignore your banner too, the way he ignored the last 99. Also, everyone gets irritated with all those flashy banners prompting unnecessarily in between the pages. A very good solution to this problem is to create text links. It is noticed that chances of getting clicked are more for text links than that of banner links. But then, most of the sites today accept only banner advertisements and not text ones. 

Here is a simple solution; Convert your banner advertisement to look like a text advertisement! When you have created the advertisement in html (make the background white since it easily suits nearly every type of background), just preview the link in the editor or the browser. 
Once you have the preview, click the ‘Print Screen’ button on your keyboard (You can locate it above the Page Up button. Then open Microsoft Paint (Start > Programs > Accessories > Paint). Go to the edit menu and click Paste. This will paste the whole screen shot of your preview. Save the document in JPG format & then edit it with your Image Editor. Crop the image so that only your text banner can be seen. Then resize it to the required pixel size. Thus, you have a banner, which purely looks like a text advertisement. Text advertisements are not only less showy but they also increase the formal standard of your website/ company. 

There are some other tips for making your advertisements appealing. Always use effective words. Use of words such as ‘Free’, ‘Visit Now’ & other such words can make the visitor immediately click your link. Also, make the visitor get a feeling of emergency by using phrases like ‘Limited time Offer’ or ‘Hurry’ so that he should leave his present work & rush to your website. Use good and decent colors in your advertisement. Try to make your banner as enthusiastic & interactive as possible by using buttons, special cursors, but also remember not to create a crowd of objects in your banner. Always take into consideration the audience whom you want to attract & design the banner and the text in that particular fashion. Also maintain the color scheme of the banner. Also update your banners regularly with new ideas to create a fresh view about your website

Publish ads and start making money with AdSense

Google Inc. unveiled its AdSense program in June 2004. The AdSense program works in a very simple yet ingenious manner to help webmasters and publishers earn additional revenue. AdSense works in this way, whenever you place a Google search box on your website; you become a part of the AdSense network. Google then places adverts that are specific and relevant to your site’s content on your site. These adverts are decided upon through instant auctions where Google pits relevant CPC (cost-per-click) and CPM (cost-per-thousand-impressions) adverts against each other; these adverts compete and the winner, who will generate maximum revenue for the particular page is placed onto your site. 
The adverts will not distract visitors to the site from the content of the site because only those adverts that are related to your site’s content are displayed by AdSense on your site. Google carefully reviews the content of the site and studies the context before deciding upon an advert. 

Serving properly targeted adverts is the concern of every web site owner, Google AdSense makes sure that the text and animated adverts it provides for your site are well matched to your site content. For example, a pet shop site will carry adverts for pet food and pet management. Adverts like these are good for business as they enhance the informative quality of your site and encourage sales. 

AdSense has a distinct advantage that it brings Google’s entire directory of advertisers at the disposal of its clients. No matter what your business is, no matter how exclusive and selective or broad and generalized your content is, Google has the advertisers for it. Therefore you can be assured of having relevant adverts on your page. In addition to this, you are spared the maintenance of advertiser relationships that is a full time job in its own regard. Google takes care of the advertisers and lets you reap the benefits of its extensive database of advertisers that range from the corporate international companies and brands to local dealers and shops. Google also scrutinizes the change in the content of your site’s web pages and adapts the supply of adverts accordingly; different pages have adverts that are suited to their content, placed in the context implied. 

The adverts provided by Google are also sensitive to geographical differences and thus, the international companies that advertise on your pages through AdSense easily switched to their local dealers without any special efforts. Google’s AdSense is focused on helping to maintain the standards of its business clients therefore AdSense provides safeguards such as filtering adverts so that they match the content of your site. You can decide to ban certain adverts from your site by stating the URL; thus competitive adverts are blocked from being posted on your site. Adverts containing adult content are blocked from entering your site and you are also given the option of deciding which advert is to be placed. 

AdSense also gives you the option of choosing the appearance of the adverts placed on your site so that the adverts do not seem glaringly out of place and ruin the look of your site. There are more than 200 colors to choose from, you select the color of the box, frame and text so they blend in tastefully with the rest of the page. 

AdSense also allows you to check the revenue generated from these adverts. If the adverts are not generating revenue then you pull them off however this has yet to happen, most of the clients of AdSense accept that the traffic and the revenue has increased ever since they became a part of the AdSense network. Applying for the AdSense is extremely easy; all you have to do is register online and place a Google search box on your page.

Google Adsense free tips

Google Adsense is perhaps the easiest way to attract advertisers from across the globe to your blog. Just submit your blog to Google for approval. If Google likes what it sees, it will place contextual ads linking to products likely to appeal to the readers. Each time a reader clicks a link, the advertiser pays Google a small fee, and Google splits that with you.

Before serving ads on a web page, check its keyword density. A free and advanced tool for finding the most prominent keywords in a page can be found here: SEO Density Analyzer. Copy the most important keywords to a text file ([web page name]-adsense-keywords.txt). Improve your keywords 

Get keyword suggestions from Overture Search Inventory and from Google AdWords Sandbox. Get new keywords that can help you improve your ad relevance. Enter the keywords from [web page name]-adsense-keywords.txt and save the suggestions to [web page name]-adsense-suggestions.txt.

Use the keyword suggestions to enhance your web pages and to build theme-based content. And also try to get your keywords into the anchor text of your incoming links as much as possible. 

One of the best tips is to add a new page to your web site every day. The more content you have, the more visitors you will get.

SIX WAYS TO EXPERIMENT WITH ADSENSE AND GROW YOUR EARNINGS

COURTESY:adsense.blogspot.com

Welcome to our first-ever guest blog post on Inside AdSense. We're thrilled to have none other than Blogging Evangelist himself, Darren Rowse, to share his expert tips on AdSense optimisation.

Darren first discovered blogging in 2002, and initially thought he'd turn it into a hobby to supplement his full-time job. These days, Darren runs a handful of successful blogs, his most popular being Digital Photography School, and has co-authored a book. He also posts regular tips and advice on ProBlogger.net, a respected and successful resource for bloggers around the world.

We recently caught up with Darren at his home office in Melbourne Australia, and asked him about his experience with Google AdSense

October 4, 2003 is a date I'll never forget - that was a day that my life changed. It was the day that I discovered AdSense and added it to my very first blog. I added that first advertisement to my blog on a whim, with what I thought was the lofty dream that I might be able to pay for my blogs hosting costs. Over 5 years later, those little text ads have paid my mortgage, fed my family, and enabled me to move my blogging from a hobby, to a part time job, to a full time job and beyond.

It's not been an 'overnight success' by any means but as I've learned to use it, AdSense has been one of my highest online income streams.

My #1 Tip for Using AdSense

If I had to narrow my advice on using AdSense down to a single word it would be 'experiment'. Let me explain.

That day back in October of 2003 I had no idea on what I was doing. The next day when I logged in to see how much I'd earned it was barely enough to buy me a coffee.

However, on that day I decided that those few dollars in earnings showed potential and I determined within myself to learn how best to use AdSense to grow that income. Almost everything I've learned since that day has been through trial and error.

It has been a long process of testing and tracking results. You see, while there are a few good home truths that seem to work on most sites, every website that I've used AdSense on is different. Some things work well on some sites, but it is rare to find something that will work on every site. As a result I tend to experiment with my use of AdSense in these six ways:

1:Ad Position - Most AdSense publishers have seen the neat little heat map that AdSense has produced to show where ads work best on websites. In general it works fairly well and is a great place to start, but make sure you experiment with new positions for ads and see what works best for your site. Hint: Ads near (or even surrounded by) content have worked the best. I've also found ads at the end of content perform well. People get to the end of reading your article and then are looking for something to do or click -- an ad positioned there can work well.

2:Numbers of Ads - More ads earn more than less ads... don't they? Unfortunately it isn't always the case. Test different combinations and numbers of ad units on your site. There's usually a 'tipping point' where you hit a ceiling of how many ads your users will accept -- push it too far and you could hurt reader engagement, traffic, and in the long run your earnings. On the flip side of this, don't be afraid to have more than one or two ads on a page, particularly if you have long pages with lots of content.

3:Ad Design - I can still see the first ads that I first used on my blog back in 2003. I can still see them because they fried their imprints into my retina -- they were so LOUD! I figured that the ads would do best if people noticed them so I went for the most crazy color scheme I could come up with. Over the years I began to experiment with different combinations of ads and found that more subtle or blended ads tended to work best for me. Having said that, you can sometimes blend too much, to the point that the ads become invisible to your reader. So test different colors and designs of ads to see which work best. Use the ad rotating tool that AdSense offer publishers to rotate different designs to work against ad blindness among regular readers.

4:Ad Sizes - AdSense offers us a range of different ad sizes, so experiment with them all to see which works best. Hint: Some might think that the bigger the ad the better it performs. This is not always true. For example, I found that the 'large rectangle' ad (336 x 280) didn't work as well for me as the smaller 'medium rectangle' ad (300 x 250). It turns out that more advertisers (at least those in my niche) prefer the medium rectangle ad as it's a more standard ad unit size than the larger one. Again, the key is to experiment and see what works best for your site and niche.
5:Ad Formats - I've found that choosing image and text ads works better than just choosing text ads, but that's not the only choice we get as AdSense publishers. AdSense also allow us to run link units, AdSense for search, etc. I've found that each of these different formats will work differently from site to site. I've had blogs where the link unit ads were the best performing units on the site while on other sites it didn't really perform at all. You'll never know unless you test it!
Which Content Converts? - One of the best advances that AdSense has made in the last year has been the integration between it and Google Analytics. To be honest I'm still digging into the metrics that this opens up, but the insight that this gives has amazing potential to increase earnings. By looking at this data you can see what type of content is converting and what isn't. You can also see what type of traffic is converting and what isn't. For example, I've found that search engine referrals are converting better than traffic from social media sites on one of my blogs. Knowing this is powerful as it tells you what type of ads to serve to what types of traffic, what type of promotion to put effort towards, and what type of content to write more of.Test Track Test Track....There are books, blogs, articles, forums, and other kinds of resources available to AdSense publishers to help them learn how to use AdSense better. However, in my experience the best way to learn is to 'do'. Put time aside to try new things and then put more time aside to review what you learn. But don't leave it at that. When you learn something -- test it against something else (do some research on A/B split testing to learn how to do this). This continual learning will help you to grow in your own expertise of AdSense and increase your earnings.

Relating AdSense to AdWords

We think it's important for all publishers, both new and veteran, to understand the role they play in our ad network ecosystem. While AdSense is designed for publishers to monetize their websites with Google ads, it's also designed to extend the reach for our AdWords advertisers, providing them with ad real estate whose value is close to that on Google Search results.

If your website performs well for advertisers, there may be increased competition among them to fill your ad spaces. This means we'd have a wider variety of possible ads to display, so the ads you see on your site may be more relevant to your site content and your users' interests.

This may lead to more clicks from your users, more placement-targeted campaigns geared towards your site, and increased advertiser bids. Overall, you're likely to earn more revenue with your site if advertisers are generating conversions and receiving quality leads from your site.

On the other hand, if your website performs poorly for advertisers, they may be less inclined to display on your site. This means that the ads our system displays on your site may not be as relevant to your site content and your users' interests, leading to fewer clicks and decreased advertiser bids. As a result, you're likely to earn less revenue with your site if advertisers are performing poorly.

To maximize the value for advertisers displaying on your site, we recommend focusing on developing a high-quality site with original content that's valuable to your users. For more information, please consult our program policies and Webmaster Quality Guidelines for reference.

Lucy's final tips for newbies

As the summer draws to a close, it is with a heavy heart that I bring you our last Newbie Friday post. I hope you've enjoyed our words of wisdom over the past few months and have found the information useful. Our team will continue to update this blog with the most up-to-date AdSense news and information, so please don't let this be goodbye. If you missed part of the series or want to re-read specific posts, just visit our Newbie label at any time and look for our summer-themed logo. So, from one oldie to many newbies, I'll close out this season with a few final tips for our new publishers.

Go wide and get rich (media)
If you've just recently started with AdSense, there are two format-related tips I would instantly recommend. The first is to enable both text and image ads, which will increase competition among ads to appear in your ad units and may result in higher CPMs. Second, use some of our wider units, such as the 160x600 wide skyscraper, the 300x250 medium rectangle, or the 728x90 leaderboard. There are more rich media (image, flash, video and gadget) ads available in wider ad formats, and wider ad units are the preferred formats for advertisers looking to target your site. Again, increased competition or your ad space will help you maximise your earnings potential.

Use channels
Channels are powerful reporting tools, sometimes overlooked by new publishers. They allow you to view the AdSense performance of a site, a specific page, or even a specific ad unit, which can help you see where your ads are performing best. You can name these channels, give them descriptions, and then define them as ad placements so that they are visible to AdWords advertisers.

The secret
As top AdSense earners will tell you, when it comes to earning with AdSense, the most important thing is a policy-compliant site with good-quality, original content. Such sites attract users, relevant ads and, ultimately, revenue.Finally, we constantly maintain online resources like our AdSense Help Forum, Newbie Central, and our Known Issues page to share useful information with you. We hope you'll use them to make the most of AdSense.
