Adsense is a great way for many webmasters to monetize their websites. There are two types of earnings scenarios. One is webmasters who are either losing money or having a great deal of difficulty to make whatever little money from Adsense. Another is "genius" who are enjoying hundreds of dollars a day from their ads. What makes these webmasters different from the other kind is that they are different and they think out of the box. The ones who have been there and done it have useful tactics to share with those venturing into the field. These tactics have proven its worth and will continue to do so. Here are the 5 proven tactics on how best to increase your Adsense earnings. 1. Focus on only one Adsense format. The one format that worked well for the majority is the Large Rectangle (336X280). This same format has proven to result in higher click-through rates. So why choose this format only? Basically because the ads blend in like normal web links, and people, being used to clicking on them, do so. They may or may not know they are clicking on your Adsense but as long as there are clicks, then it will be to your advantage. 2. Create your own custom Adsense palette. Choose a color that will match the background of your site. If your site has a white background, use white as the color of your ad border and background. The idea is to match the colors so that the Adsense looks like it is part of the web page. Again, this will result in more clicks from people visiting your site. 3. Remove the Adsense from the bottom page of your site and put them at the top. Do not try to hide them. Make them obvious to people. You will be surprised how the difference between Adsense locations can make when you see your earnings. 4. Maintain links to relevant websites. If you think some sites are better off, then put your ads there and try to maintain and manage them. If there are many other Adsense ads already put into that certain site, put yours above all of them. That way visitor will see your ads first upon browsing into that site. 5. Try to automate the insertion of your Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your Adsense code in a text file, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website. These are some of the Adsense tactics that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. It is important to know though that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. So focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already. Take note there is a lot of competition out there. So it is best to think of making a good ad that will be somewhat different and unique than the ones already done. Every clickthrough that visitors make is a point for you, so make every click count by making your Adsense something that people will definitely click on. Tips given by those who have boosted their earnings are just guidelines they want to share with others. If these have somehow worked wonders to some, maybe it can work wonders for you too. Try them out into your ads and see the results they bring. If others have done it, there is nothing wrong trying it out yourself.
