I call it the “Hodgepodge Theory.” And if this applies to your site, it may be a big reason why you aren’t seeing your AdSense earnings increase.
Watch the video below to learn more about why I believe many people struggle with building their AdSense revenue…

Hi Lisa, Great advice. Always better to be a specialist rather than a generalist. I chuckled when I started watching the video. I have that same desk and almos the same exact set up. It almost looks like you recorded that in my office.

I kept 3Link ads,3 adUnits, and 1Search box in every page in my site.
I read about Vedio ads .But i can’t put video ad in my site because i could not get the code for vedio ads.
I know we can put 1 vedio ad per 1 page.
but I cannot.
Please help me to put 1 vedio ad to my site.

Lisa,
Thanks for all the great information. I have been putting it to use and have started to earn some money with adsense. My site and blog are about a topic that I am very interested in (money saving and earning tips) and so far things are getting off to a great start. I appreciate the information you have shared!
Kendra says
This may sound so dumb but what exactly do mean when you say not enough content? Are you saying just information on your site about your site or interactive things you may have on your site to keep it interesting.
lisa says
Kendra, I meant not enough useful, informative, unique content that keeps visitors interested and coming back for more.

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Maheswar,
If it’s the site you listed here it’s probably because you don’t have a lot of content. The whole purpose of AdSense is to match the ads to your content but since you have mostly pictures it will be hard to serve up relevant ads on your pages.

i had apply for adsence but tey rejected my app;ication ..wat is the reason
Gary Pearson says
If I am looking to build a site were people go and talk about dogs and the different breeds were would be a good place to go and get the site built.
lisa says
jazzianbutt,
Your ads look relevant to me, but sometimes when there are not many relevant ads in the database, Google has to do the best they can to target them to your content.
jazzianbutt says
i mostly gets irrelevant google ads, why? 🙁

MJ - Total Lisa Fan says
Google has now increased the Google Link Units to 3 per page, and Text Ads 3 per page. And two referal/Google Product links per page. Also no more than 2 search boxes are permitted per page.
lisa says
I’m not sure about the search box but you the 2 link ads and 2 ad units are too many. You can only have 3 total blocks of Google code. I think the search box is OK, though.
Nimish says
I have put up 6 ad sense ads on my page.2 link ads,2 ad unit,referral and 1 search box.Does this violate ad sense TOS
