Blend the ads into the content. People are suffering from banner blindness, so they won’t click the ads if they look like ads. Place the ads in the middle of the page. Let the color match the other links in yor website. If the link looks like a title, it will get more click throughs. Do not have any borders. Put ads before the content, in the middle and at the end of the content. People will click a relavent ad after they finish reading the content. AdSense search box can be put in 404 pages. You will get more 404 visits than you think!
Get free content for your website from ArticleCity.com, GoArticles, EzineArticles.com etc. It is legal to copy the article and paste it in your website as long as you give a backlink to the author of the article. You can also get articles from public domain. A famous public domain is Project Gutenberg. To outsource article writing, you can head to RentACoder.com or Elance.com. Last but not the least, compose your own content. You dont need to literally write the articles, you can use the software - NaturallySpeaking8, which converts your speech to written content.
I just watched Michael’s Cheney’s AdSense videos and here is what I have got for you.
Mirror Google’s policy to have success with them. Google’s policy is 1. Organising world’s content - do this in your site. 2. Don’t be evil.. follow their TOS, it will benefit you in the long run.
Four main aspects for success with AdSense earnings:
1. Content
2. Keywords
3. Ads (Positioning, color, size et al)
4. Traffic
Some Key Points To Remember:
Choosing where to compete is half your success. The single most important factor for choosing your niche market is to select one that you have passion for. Simply by knowing these 2 things (popularity and competition) gives you the definitive answer on the best content to place on your site. Very less website compete for misspelled keywords. For example: “woof picture frames”. Use wordtracker paid version for finding out how much competitors you have for a particular keyword. One of the best ways to get hold of unique, quality content that you can use with your AdSense ads is to buy existing sites. Don’t use adsense-ready websites because it has duplicate content. If you want to buy one, buy a non-adsense website and add ads.
