7 AdSense Strategies You Should Adopt

1.  Make room for the 728×90 banner — if you can

Obviously you don’t want to crowd your site or make it look awkward, but if your experience with this unit size is anything like mine, you may want to consider opening up a spot.

I am now using this banner size on three of my sites:  WebsiteBabble.com, Flat-Stomach-Exercises.com and finally this blog.

In all three cases it performs great and the eCPM (earnings per thousand) is higher than the other sizes.  This is the only AdSense unit that has ever performed well on this blog.

Due to the Google terms I am not allowed to disclose my eCPM, but it is significantly higher than my other units.  Understand that a high eCPM doesn’t necessarily mean I’m getting a lot of clicks, but I’m earning more per click compared to other units.

2. Set your channels to “Targetable”

Doing this allows premium advertisers to advertise solely on your site if they wish.  They can outbid all other contextual advertisers and lock down a spot on your site for an indefinite amount of time.  Premium advertisers pay more for this kind of ad, so it means you can earn more per click.

For more details on how to set this all up, watch the video I created last September…

3. Display ads alongside videos

I do this quite often on 2CreateAWebSite.com, and those units usually perform better than any other (even the leaderboard ads).  And if you’re wondering if this is against the terms, wonder no more.

I actually got this idea from Google.  Their optimization team ran an analysis on my site years ago and suggested I add the ads alongside my videos.

From a technical standpoint, there are a few ways to accomplish this.  It’s probably best to use CSS, but you can also use a simple table.  Yes, tables are so 1990-ish, but they still work and come in handy for accomplishing this.

So the idea is to create a table with two equal columns.  Put the video in the left column and the ad code in the right (or vice versa.)  Here’s the code for a simple table you can use.  Adjust the widths of your table, video and AdSense ads accordingly….

<table width=”600″ align=”center”><tr>
<td width=”300″>
INSERT VIDEO CODE HERE </td>
<td width=”300″>
INSERT ADSENSE CODE HERE
</td></tr></table>

4. Create Channels

It’s amazing how many people do not setup new channels when they create new AdSense code.  How will you ever know which unit performs the best if they are all lumped together?

5. Refresh!

Every now and then I’ll do a refresh and change the look of my units… slightly.

I usually keep the background color the same because I like for it to match my site, but I may change the color of the title or URL text.  I seem to notice a slight boost when I do this.  Of course there is never any proof this is the reason, but what can it hurt to try?

6. Pay attention to your Analytics reports

If you use Google Analytics, you can sync your AdSense and Analytics accounts together so you can see how much each page is earning.

Keep track of and analyze your highest earning pages.   Are they your highest because of traffic or is there some other reason?  (Different ad placement or size.)

7. Delete under-performing units

I have not been able to confirm exactly what AdWords advertisers can see with regards to the Publisher’s stats (click through rates, etc.)  But since they can opt to advertise on our sites exclusively,  I try to keep my overall CTR as high as possible by getting rid of units that perform below my own average.

Obviously “under-performing units” will be defined by your individual average and it will be different for everyone.

Are there any other AdSense tips you’d like to share?

  1. Great tips.

    I just learned how to sync my AdSense and Analytics. I had been trying to figure out how to do this for the longest, especially since I’ve gone to school (Full Sail University) for Internet Marketing classes. I can’t wait to look at my results in about a month and optimize my sites to increase desired results.

  2. Great points Lisa! i set and forget Adsense but do not realize that little changes can bring more revenue.

  3.  

    Don’t forget to enable image and flash ads! So many people choose not to do this and miss out on heaps of extra cash.

  4. Great Advice, Lisa! I’m one of those people who just threw the Adsense banners/ links on my blog hoping they’d make me money LOL. I have some homework to do don’t I? What better place to start than your fabulous site?! Thanks so much for providing us all with knowledge for success! :0)

  5. I for some reason have not had any success with the ads beside videos. How do I make them a target all uniets? As in step 4.

  6.  

    Great tips. Also, subscribe to the Adsense blog/video updates. Google’s tidbits are priceless. Simple changes in your Adsense strategy goes a long way in my experience.

  7. Great points, but the first rule in Adsense is traffic. Without readers your adsense strategy is nada :)
    enjoy your site and the forums, thanks for all your work.

  8. Hi Lisa,

    No. 5 is the one I need to start doing. It will definitely shake things up a bit for the regular visitors that have become blind to the ads.

    Another strategy that works is placing 468X60 text ads after the article on the page. It converts quite well because after reading, most visitors want to do one last thing before leaving the site, that’s when the ads draw their attention most. Also, the pages that have the lowest bounce rates do not get a lot of clicks, they just increase the number of impressions so removing the ads from those pages completely may be a good strategy to reduce the number of impressions thereby increasing the eCPM.

  9. Interesting article. Very useful. Don’t forget to test your sites in different search engines. Your site may be ranked 3rd page on google yet be on the first page of bing

  10.  

    Hey Lisa! Thanks for the tips! i may go to the 728×90 banner when I initiate my new template – hopefully that will be soon!

  11. Hey Lisa, I try to implement all your tips when it comes to Adsense.

    I found that the best way to increase my CTR and make more money is to simply remove Adsense from pages that are underperforming. That way, I remove those that are not making money, get a better CTR which usually results in higher paying ads (at least that is how it appears).

    I attached the link in my comment luv, in case someone wants to try it, I had great results with this strategy and have been running it since the first day I started using adsense.

    Thanks for some extra ideas you just gave me!

  12.  

    Great stuff! We’re currently running an Adsense niche experiment on our blog so this couldn’t have come at a better time. Will implement those tactics and see what happens.

    Jimmy

  13. Hi lisa thanks for the great tips, you have been one of the big helps I get around the internet when looking for ways to better my adsense earning, though you refused to review my site lol, am going to give very tip here a try and I hope it performs well for me thanks.

  14. Thanks Lisa for the nice tips.

    I’ve created a space for the 728×90 unit somewhere on the top, and it’s performing well.

    I know that most of the traffic from my followers will come on the first day of publishing posts, usually followers and those who repeat visits don’t click on ads, so I did a little trick to display ads below my posts after one day of publishing.

    Another thing I would like to share is the feature of “Allowed websites”, I’ve used this feature during the last 3 weeks, and I see a jump in the performance, I also found out the a few non authority sites were displaying my ads, most of them copied my blog design without permission and they kept my AdSense code by mistake!

    I hope this help someone!

    • Hesham, you really raised a good point by mentioning the allowed sites option. With that, we know where our valid clicks are coming from.

      If some of your website visitors use Google to translate your website or you are a victim of content scrapers, your earnings may go down because the Google translate pages are not regarded as part of your site. But it is safer than getting a ban because some fraudulent clicks may originate from the unknown sites.

      And you never know, we may be visiting a random website and click on a nice ad without knowing that it is our own ad we are clicking on thereby resulting in a ban … lol

  15. I got to this article at the right time. Few days again I was searching Google for a way to add Leaderboard ads under my blog’s header and you gave me the motivation the more. Thanks. I’ll try the first tip.

  16.  James K. Trent says:

    These are great strategies that we can adopt…There are things that we need to have in order to make life easier…Thanks!!!

  17. I have been thinking ways to improve my AdSence. It’s a blessing I’ve crossed to your site and read your advice. Perfect! Thanks…

  18. Thank you so much for the post.

    I appreciate your talking about the analytics report. This is a part where some people make a mistake.

    It’s all about our earnings. So dont neglect the analytics.

  19. Great article and point 7 really made me think especially about trying to keep CTR as high as possible. On that point what are your feelings on using some form of GEO location script to not display Adsense to those countries which under perform, especially as country specific data is now available from the Adsense reports?

    Andy

  20. My best strategy is just to get traffic through things like blog carnivals and forums. This way i have more chance of getting clicks.

  21. Great article Lisa. I’m always interested to learn new ways to improve Adsense performances.
    Re your point 4, I was wondering if you refer to channels?

  22.  

    Thanks Lisa for the great advice. I think I will go back and remove the ads from pages that are not working well. And some of the pages I will change the look. I am just starting to see some positive results with adsense and alot of that I think is because I have increased my traffic numbers as I have added more pages. I have tried to write to a slightly more diverse audience of professional women and that has helped.

  23. good tips presented perfectly!

  24. I didn’t know there was a method for adsense. Thx for putting this together.

  25. Great share, Lisa! #1 is especially true for me as well.

  26. This is a wonderful topic Lisa!!Thanks for the post you have shared…Now I can use these strategies in my own…

  27. I guess I am one of those rare people who never had success with adsense, for some reason I never get money from adsense but get a lot from others. I will try applying your tips because so far in my little head I never knew size mattered!

  28. Anonymous says:

    Great Adsense tips. Setting channel to “targeted”, I have never thought about that. Never used it. You totally blew my mind and I’m sure this is all I need to increase my adsense earnings faster. Keep the good works up!

  29. Sam Paterson says:

    I would like to say that is a great read thanks lisa Great share

  30. Thanks Lisa for sharing this strategies…How generous you are in posting this…

  31. Andy C. says:

    Thanks for the interesting insights about Adsense. I didn’t know that I could be able to use analytics to track adsense. And I haven’t tried using video and ads at the same time. Maybe I should try to pay attention with analytics.

  32. Thanks for sharing this awesome tip i have also added a 728*90 banner ad in my blog its going well and good than before.

  33. Google adsense is good from once you know how to use it, You can end up earn alot of money of it.

  34. Lisa, I stumbled across your website a couple days ago and I have to say that you are the epitome of determination, consistency and generosity. I hope you understand how invaluable your work is to not only newbies but even old veterans like me :) . You get my standing ovation.

    Truth be told, I had no clue about great piece of adsense strategy until I read your post Of course, by now I have implemented it and will be monitoring my progress going forward to see how it will impact on the click-through rate.

    You are definitely an inspiration and encouragement to anyone you wishes to make a living online. And what I admire about you bis how liberal you are with your knowledge. That’s where we share a common denominator.

    What a lot of online marketing hopefuls fail to realize is that success is all tied up in how much help you are willing to give and how genuine you are as a person, as this invariably impacts how sincere you will be as an online marketer.

    Trust is one the key elements of swimming or sinking on the internet and without a doubt, you have won the trust of a loyal following… and that includes me.

    You keep on doing what you are doing and any tip or advise that might wish to share with me would be highly appreciated.

    Have a blessed and successful future!

    P.S. I could not close without indicating my admiration for the way you handle the “Get a real job” ridicule. That’s what I call transforming a negative situation into a positive one. Very clever indeed :)

  35. Trish Jones says:

    Thanks for the strategies that you have posted here…This can help a lot…

  36. Thanks for the great adsense tips… I will do this tips for my adsense

  37. Thanks, Lisa. I have been using Adsense for two years and was totally unaware of how Targeting effects earnings. I will implement this for sure.

  38. Luke Penny says:

    Lisa, As usual, you’ve given some great advice. The timing is perfect for me. I’m finally at the point I think Google will approve my first site for an AdSense account and applied today. I came here to see if you offered any you do of course. I’ve been quietly following you for months but your site is usually my first stop when I have questions…thank you!

    Quick Question, if you don’t mind, I’ve noticed your Social Media plugin with the Google +1 and Twitter options. I’m not happy with what I was using (caused problems and I had to disable it). What plugin is this or are you using your mad skills to manually add that in?

    Thanks again for the great resource, you’re just amazing!

    Luke

  39. You have provided great tips but now its of no use for me. Actually, my google adsense account has been banned for an fraud click activity. Anyways, thanks for sharing great stuff.

  40.  

    I really wanted to use adsense, but until now I haven’t receive an email to my confirmation. I wanted to try your strategy :( any advice on my situation?

  43. Cher Shives says:

    Hi Lisa…Thanks a lot in posting this creative article…Hope you can post more…

  44. Hi Lisa thanks for the great tips and strategies. I have used adsense before and did not get much benefit from it and didn’t like it.

  45. With Adsense being a passive revenue stream, I’m wondering what kind of performance you’re getting?

    The one point you raise about putting your units next to video, isn’t that discouraged by the TOS for the service?

    •  

      Hi Barry

      I mentioned in the post that Google recommended that video strategy to me so no it’s not against the TOS. You must’ve missed that. I do very well with Adsense. Healthy 4 figures every month.

  46. Anonymous says:

    just dropped by in your site and I found this adsense strategy, very informative. Thank you for sharing

  47.  

    I don’t use AdSense on my blog; maybe I should try it out, considering so many blog use it successfully.

    Thanks, Lisa!

  48. I thought it better to use banner size 336×228 which higher CTR compare to leaderboard 728×90 . People usually will click those Google Adsense at the middle of the content compare to in front and at the end of the content.

  49. i’m Arafet, i’m a SEO from Tunisia
    i discovered this website last month, i find it very usuful and helpful.
    Thankyou for every post Lisa.
    Now i’m creating my personal blog and website according to your advices.

    Keep in touch.

  50.  

    well, setting channel to targetable helped me a lot to earn some extra bucks. changing the placement of ads is always necessary for good revenue.

  51. how to know about the under performing advertisements?

  52. wow great artical………………….. i learn more then from this…… thanks for share…Doing this allows premium advertisers to advertise solely on your site if they wish. They can outbid all other contextual advertisers and lock down a spot on your site for an indefinite amount of time. Premium advertisers pay more for this kind of ad….

  53. Thanks lisa, for such a helpful post.. I just wanted to know if i can get a new adsense account for a same site which had been disabled before for invalid click activity.. I dont know how it happened… Please help if you can

  54. Nice..but i dont thing im gonna make it fo adsense as im always get banned by them..i dont know why.mybe because somebody sabotage me

  55. I have never used adsense before but i am going to give it a try and see what happens

  56. Google Adsense is now become the main resources that most bloggers focus and make money. To increase your earning, you need to optimize your page and advertising code, advertising spot … etc ! Many things !

  57. This is confusing me, Lisa (I am easily confused). I understood the action guide in Site Build It to say that you could not use the 728×90 banner with a sitesell template. Did I get that wrong?

    •  

      That’s probably true because their framework is only 600 pixels wide. They should fix that!! I use it on my SBI! site but that’s because I have created my own custom template.

  58. So if I do the do it yourself part of the look and feel selector (sorry, don’t want to to turn this into an SBI discussion) I can use the adsense banner? Thankyou. I can do that for my next site!

  59. I’m not that brave yet! I still have a lot to do with this site at the moment, so I will investigate for future reference. Thanks for your advice, helpful as always.

  60. Hi Lisa,

    1st of all, this is a great tips to gain earning in adsense. Thank you so much. I have a question. Did the code for the video adsense allowed by Google? If yes, then I guess I can add it to my blog safely from getting banned.

    Cheers,
    Ray

  72. I’m definitely going to give the 728×90 adsense unit a try, I’ve also been wondering how you put the 300×250 unit next to your YouTube videos (I’m not as techie as you yet) so I’m really glad you shared the code, in fact it will come in handy for other stuff as well.

    Its funny, every time I hit a technical road block I find myself either running over to 2createawebsite or this blog for solutions, and I always find what I’m looking. Thanks for the great help Lisa, its nice to be able to find all the information in one place.

  111. Hi Lisa,

    Lisa is it true that when you minimize the numbers of ads on your blog you will increase the amount of CPC?. Does it have anything to do with eCPM?

    How many ads do you usually place in your blogs.

    Thanks Lisa

  112. Wonderful! This means that I can really make more money from doing this………….

  113. I’ve just created a new article directory there people can post their articles for free. My goal is to have adsense ads on the site and after reading this post I will try the 728×90 banner.

    I will keep track on it and also create a new channel to see how it performs.

    good tips ,going consider a space for 728×90 banner Ads

  116.  

    Very true but yes i just wish to say that 728*90 does not perform any more.. People are now aware of those sizes being advertisements but true that different unites perform for different websites..
    Always keep experimenting….

  117. Wow, did I miss the bus on the targeted ad placement thing. I just activated them on the site in my comment. Be interesting to see what happens.

    Now, I’m going to go ahead and ask an “should know a whole lot more after almost 6 years but don’t” question. My big problem is that right now I have a site that generates about 75,000 page views per month (and I have a formula to grow it, so I’m good there). I get a monthly deposit from Google and have for about the last 14-15 months. But I’ve never quite figured out how to get Adsense to even a $10.00 eCPM (since I just activated targeted ads on the site after watching the video, we’ll see on that).

    My big problem with the advice I read is that most of it as far as placement seems to be specific to blogs and/or forums. That’s great if you own a blog or a forum site, but my site is neither. Are there examples of ad placements and sizes for say directory sites (which is as close as I would come to describing my site) that work? I’m doing some A/B testing on this as we speak, but I’d rather do it based on practical example rather than “here’s what generally works” if possible. I know I’m all around the answer, but I just can’t quite see it and I’m sure I’m missing something really stupid (like say the targeted ads).

    I don’t do much with affiliate programs (I do a little bit) because I’d rather learn one thing first and then move on to the next, but this is the one area of design/development/marketing that has always confused me and quite frankly that I find a bit irritating because most of the advice seems really cheap and spammy when it comes to this sort of thing. I want to learn how to get it to where I want it to go, but there’s a fine line between that and destroying what I’ve worked hard to build.

    Yeah, I know, kind of a rant, but it’s something that’s frustrating me because I know there is probably either a simple answer or series of them that I could implement.

  118. Think it’s my mistake i didn’t pay attention to AdSense ‘coz my main concern is to make crawl and have a high pr and that’s it…hmmm guess i’m definitely wrong

  119.  

    hi Lisa i followed all of some of your tips thank you . it boost my site. but i have a one problem. this is my site Link i am getting enough traffic and clicks… but my earnings are not that much… do you think my niche is low

  120.  

    I just can’t figure the Adsense thing out. I have been using adsense for 6 years and have only been able to receive 1 check from them. I follow you and other Adsense Guru’s to no avail. I get plenty of unique visits everyday. Just don’t know what else to do. I use high ctr keywords and seo.

      Hi Shon,

      May I ask how many page views you get per month? I think traffic is the key. I don’t think people realize how much traffic my sites get combined. It’s a lot, but only a very small percentage click the ads. So in order to make AdSense worth your while, typically you need thousands of page views.

  121. Hi lisa, you’re doing great and you are my best advisor when it comes to make money online specially on blogging with adsense, thank you very much for your help.

  122. Lisa,

    I saw this article three or four months ago and I forgot most of it. I stumbled upon this again and I’m glad for the reminder. Thanks for re-teaching me what I already knew before. Ha!

  123. Thanks Lisa. I love your tips. I watch all your videos on youtube too.. I am your biggest fan :)

  124. I would like to point out that they take out 30% of payout
    for tax purpose

    • Jan, that depends on what part of the world you are in. If you are in the UK, like me, nobody takes anything unless you are on the payroll. The Revenue wait for you to declare it.

  125. These are great tips, Lisa. I added the big banner to one of my gaming niche sites.

    Let us see what happens.

  132.  

    Wekk thanks for that point of setting adsense channel targetable. Also, i first time that i came to know that we can track adsense performance in analytics.Awesome.

  133.  

    you are right i also never used Google adsense channel before. and after reading this article i need to make a channel for my business blog.

  134. Great tips! I think for me, for now, the ad placement next to video’s is the most interesting one.

  135. wow all these tips are awesome ans specially linking the analytics and adsense for analyzing of the earning is best tips ever….. Thanks for this wonderful post.

  136.  

    Thanks for the tips Lisa. Google adsense is a good source of re-occurring income, I believe your tips will helps to earn more through Adsense :)

  137. Thanks lisa for your tips for blogging i have read and seen you video too.
    I am running a small blog for the people those who want to earn money online.
    i inspired by seen many people not earns a penny but earns a 3000$ a day doing online like playing on Internet. what what is a real trick many are still in Q………

    while you are in online business from many years. I a have 5 youtube accounts before I started adsense they all videos are in different topic, see, All cannot be merged because you can see down posted by..your name or your subject..so it will difficult when a person of lawyer post a video on health or a some other topic any idea can you suggest for this.. Can i monetized all my accounts of youtube

  138. This is something else that is driving me demented… I CANNOT link the adSense and Analytics accounts. I follow the instructions, but when I click on “settings” on Analytics I do NOT see what I am supposed to see. All I do see is “profiles” (and so I click on my profile) and then “assets”… and that’s it…
    I have tried I don’t know how many times, but nothing:( needless to say I couldn’t find anything on their website either.
    If anybody has any idea of what I should be doing, please, share:)

    TIA

  139.  

    Thanks. It is better to have the keywords in a sub-domain rather than simply adding a category containing the keywords ?

  140.  

    I’ve just recently tested that the ‘ads alongside video’ works not just with video but next to products you may be selling or an affiliate for and so on. By placing two 250×250 images side by side with my product images, there has been good CTR on these ads :-)

    Thanks Lisa. Happy new year…

  141.  

    The “Ads alongside video” tip is really new one for me. I gotta try that. Thanks for the same, Lisa!

  142. That’s realy work with My adsense
    Thanks….!! :)

  143. The key with Adsense is to make it relevant!

  144. Jean Black says:

    I think I will go back and remove the ads from pages that are not working well. We’re currently running an Adsense niche experiment on our blog so this couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m not that brave yet! I’ll try the first tip.

  145. Thanks for the nice tips. I am waiting for my adsense approval. once i get approval i will implement your adsense strategies

  146. Google Adsense is good for earning point of view, but Google is famous in disabling publishers accounts.

  147.  

    Great tips Liza, thanx a lot for share..
    I want to try adsense and your article very useful for me thanx a lot..

  148.  

    Thanks for the great tips Liza, I had totally missed to create seperate channels to track my different ads on my site.

  149. Hey Lisa! Thanks for the great tips! i may go to the 728×90 banner when I initiate my new template – hopefully that will be soon!

  150. Great tips Lisa, But I think that ad placement and text color also matters a lot, and placing ads between the posts is always beneficial.
