Earning more money with Adsense

How to earn more money with Google Adsense? A question I had been doing the last few months and I finally have an answer. 

During the last 3 months I have been testing and experimenting to achieve increase my profits with Adsense so you can reach a conclusion on how to earn more money. 

Of course, first of all I would say that these results are applied to my blogs and they are you can get. I do not consider that to be compelling evidence or an absolute truth, but I think that may be of help to be able to increase your earnings with Adsense. 

How was the experiment? 
Quite simply, I have 6 blogs that display Adsense ads. All issues are very different, there are only two topics that are related to the topic of money or of a similar theme. Not all of them are updated daily. On average I can say that they are updated 2 or 3 times a week, and some are being abandoned for months. But they all have in common that show Adsense advertising. 

As I said all display ads from Google Adsense. However, not all represent the same profits, as we all know the 80-20 rule. Which applied in this case means: "The 20% of my posts generate 80% of my profits." Since I can not show the CTR as a breach of the policies of Google will tell you that some are less than 1% and others walk over 20%. 

With this information in mind I decided to do a trend analysis and statistical-analysis with Google Analytics and Adsense tools provided. Once reviewed and analyzed this information chooses to make changes to my blogs. All these changes were aimed at increasing my CTR only. 

But, why increase my CTR (click through rate - ratio of clicks)? 

Very simple, come to this conclusion after reading some US blogs that recommend us, obviously increase the number of daily visitors, but also increase my CRT which was known but not considered important until then.

What should I do to get more clicks on Adsense?

This question is always in the adsense forums and one way or another I have already answered in previous posts on how to make money with adsense. There is no magic solution.
Making money with Adsense is a game of probabilities, that is, every visitor who comes to your website, there is a chance to click on an ad or not.

Factors necessary for a click
The number of clicks you receive on your website, depends on 2 factors:
   1. Visibility. Your ads are well placed (in view of all), with appropriate colors (nice and compatible to your website) and always visible (showing ads and no questions from google or public service).
   2. Interest. The ads are related to the subject and that interest the visitor.

How to increase clicks
While we may ensure that the ads are related to the subject, we have no control over the interest of visitors to them. We should then focus on ad exposure.
However, depending on the theme page and an approximate range of clicks you could receive the visitor total is between 4% -10%.
Although like much, this range is the best that can be obtained by having a very good visibility and with ads related to the topic.
Since this range will not increase, the only way to increase clicks, is to increase the number of visitors. Therefore more visitors, more clicks.
Another way to increase the likelihood of a click is increasing the number of impressions and give you the possibility to a single visitor to see different ads on different pages on our website and find one that would be interested.

Adsense Earnings
Payment per click is always very variable and depends inter alia on the specific ad that is clickea. There are clicks that pay from 1 cent to others that pay several dollars.
So, how to increase adsense earnings?. The best strategy is that our website has many, many clicks, so that by chance some of them are paying them more.
But to increase the number of clicks and we said we had to increase the number of visitors. So, again to increase adsense earnings, we must increase the number of visits.

Increase visits
For this there are many things to do, known as positioning or SEO. In this blog there are many tips on how to position a page and increase visits.
It is a subject that is mastered only by reading a lot about it and apply it.
Positioning itself aims at the top out for a particular search in Google or another search engine. The exit at the first results says many visitors, the better position, more visits.

Recommendations
After all that said, remember that the raw material for a good position is quite content, but there are some issues that may be more profitable adsense than others.
Finally do not forget that google adsense is like, so if you want more clicks and earnings, basically have to increase the number of visits from google.

10 TIPS TO IMPROVE ADSENSE

1. We recommend you put your banners about the articles you write. A Adsense publisher should try as far as possible that advertisers will benefit, because when all is said and done are the ones that are posted on our website and for which we charge income. Placing advertisements about articles (for example, just to finish one) give the visitor the possibility to extend the information of the device or the company of which we spoke and announced in Adsense, thus benefiting both parties. (Remember that Adsense rules only allow a total of 3 display ad banners per page.) 

2. The background color of your ads should be equal to the bottom of your site. This technique avoids the famous partly blind to the banners. 

3. We recommend using the wide blocks. Ivan Heneghan managed to increase the Adsense effectiveness by 700% using two blocks 300 x 250 between other techniques. 

4. Use channels. The channels are small invisible marks that are inserted in each individual listing and provide an indication in the reports of individual banner Adsense statistics. So, if we have several blocks of advertising, we can see what is coming out more profitable, which we can remove it does nothing or go modified by different formats. 

5. Use the edge of the ad for the same color as your background. One tactic that gives very good results is to provide borderless ad blocks with the same color as the background. The results are less intrusive advertising blocks. 

6. Display advertising to potential customers only. The vast majority of potential customers are those who come to the site through a search engine. Because advertising is something that bothers some, it's a good idea to check this with a server-side script (PHP for example) to display only those coming from search engines: 

$ Referer = explode ("/",$_ SERVER ["HTTP_REFERER"]); 
if (strpos ($ referral [2], "google") === false) echo ""; 
else {echo '/ / insert adsense code here';} 

If you do not have this kind of technology, perhaps the best thing would be to do with Javascript. 

7. To the extent possible, use html correctly. It is not something that will directly affect Adsense, but a clear and simple code and correct labeling is very likely to be indexed by the Google bot and therefore receive more visits with potential clients. Also this will get your website to be quick to load since it will take much less because it is optimized. 

8. always keep in mind the keywords. Keywords are the keywords with which users come to your website. Google gives some importance to things like this, the title of the page, the words specified in alternative content headers, etc. If you do not have a system High-date statistics on some (StatCounter, Logdy, etc ...) 
often checked keywords you receive. Try to solve it using specific titles within the subject matter of the articles you write. A user searching for something you will not find on our site, not interested in our advertising. 

9. Complaint sites with illegal tactics. There are users who misuse the service of adsense: to encourage or prohibit clicking until you click download, advertising free content, etc. All these tactics are totally banned by Google and what they do is reduce the quality Adsense-Adwords circle. Alert the authors of the sites (as many probably have not fallen into the account that they are violating a rule) or if they ignore, report it to the area reserved for it in Adsense. 

10. Use the Google Sitemaps service. The Google indexing robot, Googlebot usually quite effective, and frequently visit websites to incorporate into your database. However, if we have a lot of items that Googlebot can not be precisely what we wanted. To do so puts Google Sitemaps our disposal a system by which, put at the disposal of the famous search engine index in XML format with all sections or articles on your site. VIGOS Google Sitemap is a utility that lets you generate the XML file quickly and accurately.

TIP OF SEARCH ENGINE INDEXING: THE IMPORTANCE OF LINKS

Links are an important part of SEO, at least today, so you should seek ways to get .. but not in any way. 
The keywords chosen to link the pages is something fundamental for us and for those who receive the link. Every webmaster should be aware that the selection of a set of keywords that will link to another page contents are crucial for the assessment of this resource and search engine rankings for these particular words. 

Links are one of the most important ways to bring relevance to a website with search engines. It is assumed that the more websites linking a site's most important will therefore tend to be better positioned than another with fewer links. However, this is very relative. For example, much depends on the keywords used in the link, if the page linking to you is of a similar theme to yours or not (avoid exchanging links with sites that is not your issue), if an important page ( authority) or not, etc.. so you have to choose well when getting links (directories, exchanges, etc). 

Moreover, the use of appropriate link text will allow the use climbing positions in the results of user searches for the words chosen as link text (anchor text). 

But if you just want to embark into a truly effective link campaign, so you should keep in mind is well and know how to choose carefully the keyword phrases and incorporate them into the titles of articles and links you use. Even you must ask yourself having to try to influence the webmaster link you to correct your links if you think you are wrong. 

Include keywords in the text is very attractive to visitors and is essential in a campaign web positioning in search engines. You choose the titles to try to influence the choice of words chosen for a webmaster to link to. 

Try to write good content to be bound by other webs, date of high quality directories, writing articles for other sites to change to put a link in the article, exchanging links with similar themed sites, and anything else that comes to mind , and is not penalized, to gradually increase your inbound links. 

Just do not get thousands of links in 2 days because search engines are not very clever, but not stupid, and realize that you're trying to play with it. We have to obtain organic positioning so that you earn a few links per week over time to avoid penalties and drop your page positions in search results. 

Link types 
We treat two types of links: Internal and external. For some search engines like Google both are important so we will try both. 

Internal links, which you make into your website, are under your control, so you have opportunities to use keywords to enhance it. There are still many people who out of laziness uses phrases like "Start" or "Read more", however it is advisable to try to avoid these words and phrases used to enrich as much as possible the link. 

Regarding external links, which are the links you receive through other websites, you can come to believe that you are at the mercy of what they decide the webmaster of the pages you link, which is partly true, but there are different situations in which you can control the links you receive. For example, we have two: 

Reciprocal links between a website and yours, where you can ask to join in a certain way. 
List of directories where there is editorial control and can specify exactly the text you wish to be bound.
