Advanced Google Adsense Techniques To Create Bigger Pay Checks
In the past, Adsense was the darling of the Internet Marketing World. Those new to the Internet Marketing arena jumped on board the Adsense bandwagon thinking they could make money online fast and be holding up big checks like Shoemoney. Then, after a few weeks getting paid just pennies for their clicks, they then become discouraged and screamed to everyone within earshot that Adsense doesn’t work.
The truth is, there are a lot of us who are ending up with damn good checks with Google Adsense. Making money with Adsense requires a little more than just throwing up a blog, scraping content and adding your Adsense code. In a Nutshell, Adsense is still one of the easy ways to make money online. Here’s some Pro techniques that will help increase your check from the people at Google.
To begin with, take a long hard look at the site where you have Adsense. Is your site targeted to one niche? I find it really humurous sometimes when so called Internet Marketer say you can’t make any money with Adsense. I usually check out their site and see that it isn’t optimized for any keyword that advertisers would be bidding on. Or, what advertisers that are bidding are bidding a nickel per hit. The lack of a focused website is one of the biggest reasons Webmasters don’t make money with Google Adsense.
For Adsense to show your visitors the highest paying ads, your site has to be very targeted to a keyword. For instance, if you post articles on a site talking about everything from how green the grass is today to how sloppy your kids teacher dressed, Google isn’t going to give you high paying clicks. Plus, the ones you do get probably won’t be targeted to your audience because the Adsense bot is having difficulty trying to make a decision as to what your blog is about.
Now listen up. Let’s say your website is about Chicken Wings. You have no articles on your site other than those about Chicken Wings. You have articles about Hot Wings, Barbecue Chicken Wings, Wing Sauce Recipes, How to cook Chicken Wings, etc. Now if you’ve done your on-page SEO properly, the Adsense bot will know that you site is all about Chicken Wings. This site will get the highest paying ads concerning chicken wings. People coming to your site looking for information about chicken wings will click those ads.
Still yet, another humorous statemetn is when a noob says he’s getting a steady stream of traffic from Stumble Upon or Digg, but he isn’t getting any clicks? It’s no secret to most of us that Social Traffic doesnt convert. Traffic from Social Sites are just browsing the Internet while they should be working. They don’t click ads people!
Organic traffic is what drives clicks to Adsense. If your website is niche focused and you have your site ranking well for its keywords, then when organic traffic from Google arrives, they’ll be clicking ads. They’re searching for information and they found it on your site. Your site has a bunch of Adsense ads about what they’re looking for. They want information and they want it now. They will click those ads!
Another proven tactic is to have some vague or long drawn out articles on your site. If someone is looking for a recipe on Chicken Wings with Cheese Fritters and you have an article by the same name, they’ll be reading that article. But if that article is really long and boring and says very little about Chicken Wings with Cheese Fritters, they’ll get bored and start looking around your site. That’s when they’ll see an Adsense block with an ad for a sure fire, can’t miss Chicken Wing with Cheese Fritter recipe and click on it. You don’t want to solve their problems, you want them to see an ad that they believe will solve their problem so they will click on it!
That’s it for now. I’ll let you think about what I just said. Meanwhile, go look at your site and see where you can improve it. Get it focused on one niche. Forget about having a website covering too many subjects. That will only get you those five cent clicks, if you even get those!
