Adsense Tricks To Explode Your Profits By Alli Ross

There are many adsense tips floating around the internet. Here
are some adsense tricks that can drastically increase your CTR
and your profits.

Lots of people say to make your ads blend in. However, some
people are having a lot of success by making their links stand
out. The most effective style seems to be having your links
blue, while your other links are a less-noticeable color. A good
example can be seen at www.lockergnome.com

- Place images directly above your ads. This simple technique
has been known to increase CTR by 400%. To keep the images fresh
some people randomize related images on their site using PHP
code. You can see an example of these images at

- Google has cited the 336x280 large rectangle as the most
effective ad size.

- Place ads where your visitors will likely be focused.

- Weave your articles into your content. This is shown at

- Place link units in the top left-hand corner. This part of
the website has shown to be clicked on more than any other part
of the page. You can see an example at lockergnome.com. (Look at
the links at the top, towards the left in blue.)

- Take advantage of the "alternate URL" feature to avoid Public
Service Ads that seep money away from your website.

- One of the best things you can do is add additional pages to
your site. A web site with thousands of pages and tons of
content often does very well in the search engines. You can get
free content from article directories. You could also use public
domain content, which is a favorite tactic of John Reese. Or,
you could use content in the creative commons. This is getting
easier than ever now that Yahoo and others have created a search
engine specifically for content in the creative commons.

Succeeding with adsense is largely determined by the amount of
traffic to your site. However, there are many adsense tricks
that you can employ to get the most possible out of your site.
Often times, this means doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling
your earnings. The key is to find out what works for your web
site. Testing and tracking is the key to increased revenue!
