Discover some tips to use on your site to increase revenue.
Contextual advertising has become very popular among webmasters since its development. Many webmasters are able to make thousands of dollars a month from Google AdSense ads, while others are only making pennies a month. Although website traffic obviously has a part in the amount of money that one makes from AdSense, there are many other ways to increase the amount of money you can potentially earn.
In this article I want to give you a few simple ways to dramatically increase your AdSense income.
To increase AdSense income all you must do is increase the number of click thrus you receive.
Match your AdSense to your website
The color scheme of your ads greatly affects your click-thru rates. Some people say that alternating colors should be used to draw more attention to the ads. Others suggest blending the ads with your site's content. The later has been proven to be the best option because the ads look more natural; like they belong, encouraging visitors to click on the ads.
In other words you want your AdSense ads to appear as seamless as possible. Your goal is to match every aspect of your AdSense ads to the theme of your website. What you want to do is remove the borders from your AdSense ads and match the background color of the ad to your website. Additionally, you want to match the color of the AdSense links to the rest of the links on your website plus choose an ad format that makes the ads look seamless.
For example, if your web site has a white background and the default color of your hypertext links is blue you will want to remove the border from your AdSense, make the background white, choose either a square or a rectangle as your ad format instead of a skyscraper or banner, and yep you guessed it. make the links blue.
Placement Matters
Where you place your AdSense ads is just as important as how they look. Luckily, there are only a few concepts that you need to worry about in order to increase your click through rate.
- The more white space around your ads the better
- The closer to the top of the page the better
- The closer the left of the page the better
Follow these concepts and I can assure you that you will see an increase in your AdSense click thru rate. (It really is that simple!)
