8 Google Ad-Sense Guide – Ad Placement and Better Ad Performance

Whether you are new or old to webmaster world.If you own a website or a blog, you are probably thinking about making money from it one way or another, but the question is how.You may have heard of Google’s publisher program called, “adsense” at some point.It is a ad network that enables webmasters to earn ad revenue from their website’s by promoting advertisements on your site or any other form of web page.It is quite simple to use, they provide all the codes and tools you need to get started.Keep in mind though, not every website is eligible for adsense account.You may not get accepted if your website promotes;

• Adult content
• Content that advocates against an individual, group, or organization
• Copyrighted material
• Drug, alcohol, and tobacco-related content
• Gambling content
• Hacking and cracking content
• Sites that offer compensation programs (“pay-to” sites)
• Sites that use Google Brand features
• Violent content
• Weapon-related content
• Other illegal content

Also it may take some time before you are accepted to the program, so be patient.Now the exciting part, now that you have been accepted to the program.There are couple key elements you have to keep in mind when using ad-sense.First do a keyword search on popular terms and niches and find what is hot.Although you can still make a website on your own interests.You have to get relevant keywords and ads so people are interested in the ads.Relevant ads provide more information for your readers, and therefore will result in higher click rate.Also check the ad-sense hot zone image for better ad performance, below is an image that shows which ad placements are good for better performance.

As you can see above, the darker colors represent better ad location and performance.Try to aim putting your ads similar to what we see in the picture above.

Also do read the terms of service for adsense program.What may seem tiny to you may not be acceptable by Google.Of course do not promote others to click on your ads with such slogans as, “click for support” or “help us” and such.Do not click on your own ads, duhhh!This will get you banned sooner or later.Also you are not allowed to ask for donations.

As for earnings, it all depends on what ads you promote and keywords.An ad click can pay any where from $0.01 to over $20 per click, of course $20 and more is the dream of most webmasters.But it is nearly impossible to track down which ads and keywords pay the highest.Often you may even see a click in your reports but $0.00 earning, it is still unclear why this happens, but as soon as I get more info on this issue I will update it.

Usually traveling, insurance, health, and internet related ads seem to pay more.So you can aim for such niches, and of course always experiment.
