Google Adsense Strategies and Tips by 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.

. 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.
