Google Adsense Strategies and Tips

Alden Smith

Adsense is beginning to make a huge impact on the affiliate
marketing industry today. Because of this, weak affiliate
merchants have the tendency to die faster than ever and ad
networks will be losing their customers quickly.

If you are in a losing rather than winning in the affiliate
program you are currently promoting, maybe it is about time to
consider going into the Adsense marketing and start earning some
real cash.

Google is readily providing well written and highly relevant ads
that are closely chosen to match the content on your pages. You
do not have to look for them yourselves as the search engine
will be the doing the searching for you from other people's
source.

You also don't have to spend time in choosing different kind of
ads for different pages. Google makes it very easy for you, with
no codes to mess around for different affiliate programs.

You will be able to concentrate on providing good and quality
content, as the search engines will be the ones finding the best
ads in which to put your pages on.

You are still allowed to add Adsense ads even if you already
have affiliate links on your site. It is prohibited, however, to
imitate the look and feel of the Google ads for your affiliate
links. One of the things you can do, however, is to utilize
Google's custom palette to customize your Google ads, making
them to appear a part of the web page itself. The idea here is
to match background and links to match the theme of your site.
People on the internet today are trained to click on a link that
is blue, and if your Google ads have the same theme as your web
page, it makes the Google ads appear to be a portion of your
"content."

You can also filter up to 200 URLs. This gives you a chance to
block ads for the sites that do not meet your guidelines, and
also block competitors. Remember that it is unavoidable that
Adsense may be competing for some space on web sites that all
other revenues are sharing.

Owners of small sites are allowed to plug a bit of a code into
their sites and instantly have relevant text ads that appeal to
your visitors appear instantly on your pages. If you own many
sites, you only need to apply once. Then ,you are issued a
unique "publisher ID", which can be used on any site you
currently own. A small snippet of Javascript is placed on your
site in the location you wish the ads to appear in, and
generally speaking, the ads from Goggle will appear in minutes.
This ends the hassle of having to apply to many affiliate
programs, and keeping track of many different URL's and user
ID's and passwords.

As Google ads are very easy to customize, and can be placed
anywhere on your site you wish, you can experiment with
placement, colors, and themes. Many tricks are available to the
resourceful webmaster, including adding images in conjunction
with your Google ads to make them more noticeable.

The payment rates can vary extremely. The payment you will be
receiving per click depends on how much advertisers are paying
per click to advertise with the use of the AdWords. Advertisers
can pay as little as 5 cents and as high as $10-12, sometimes
even more than that too. Some savvy lawyers are currently paying
as high as $75 for advertising the keyword mesothelioma! And
you, as the ad publisher, are earning a share of that money
generated.

If your results remain stagnant, it can help if you try and
build simple and uncluttered pages so that the ads can catch the
visitor's eyes more. It sometimes pay to differ from the usual
things that people are doing already. Google has many tutorials,
including a "heat chart" which shows you where the best
placement for ads are. You will need an account to access these
tutorials. Sign up for an Adsense account at

l=en_US. It is also a refreshing sight for your visitor once
they see something different for a change.

It is still wise to look at other people's information and
format your Adsense in a like manner. A wise old business axiom
is to "find a good business model, then copy it." Let others do
the hard work for you, and learn from a successful site. Just
think about it as doing yourself a favor by not having to work
too hard to know what content to have. Look to sites that have
high page rank, and carefully observe their layouts, their
content, and placement of their ads. A little time spent doing
research can put dollars in your pocket down the road.

Publishers have the option of choosing to have their ads
displayed only on a certain site or sites. You can also have
them displayed on a large network of sites if you so desire.
Google now has the option to allow other people to advertise on
your site. This only makes good sense. If you are marketing to a
tightly defined niche, you can place your own ads, written by
you, on site that allow this option. The choice is yours,
depending on what you think will work best to your advantage. It
is important to note that you cannot choose certain topics only.
If you do this, search engines will not place Adsense ads on
your site and you will be missing out a great opportunity in
making hundreds and even thousands of dollars cash.

Topics to be avoided includes gambling, firearms, ammunition,
tobacco or drugs. If you are being offered more cash in exchange
of doing Adsense with these kinds, it is just like signing your
own termination paper.

With all the information that people need in your hands already,
all you have to do is turn Google Adsense into your own cash
cow. It all boils down to a win-win situation both for the
content site owners and the webmasters or publishers.
