How to Increase your Google Adsense Revenue

Many people monetize their websites and blogs with Google Adsense. Sometimes when you visit these sites there is adsense plastered everywhere. When I come across these sites I usually do two things - first a click away from the site and then I wonder how they can make money with all those ads.

It may seem counterintuitive but you can make more money with Google Adsense by showing fewer ads. If you just show one adblock(or two if you want to put a small one in the sidebar) you will be showing the ads the cost the most and should pay the most per click. If you show tons of adblocks then the majority of the ads your are displaying will be low paying ones.

Another simple way to increase your revenue is by increasing the click through rate (CTR) of your adblocks. Show adblocks at the top of the page so people do not have to scroll down. Also, Google allows you to customize the colors used in the adblocks so use this tool to have the adblock fit into your site more naturally.

Basic keyword research for adsense sites

Finding a profitable niche to build a site focused on generating adsense revenue is simple once you get the hang of it. Finding niches for adsense is different then finding niches for affiliate products like those on clickbank.

You can use google's free keyword tool to begin your research. You want to look for product based keywords (they are the easiest) that have over 2500 monthly searches and not more then 5 or 6 times that amount in competition. That is it.

Here is an example of a site based on the keyword research described Black Latex Gloves and also Garage Door Weather Stripping

There are other steps to take after you have found a key word that fits tis criteria and I will write about them later.

How I make money with adsense

My approach to making money with adsense is simple (barebones acutallu). I look for keywords based on products that have at least 1500 visits a month and a minimum adwords cost of $1.00 per click.

After I have found the keyword I make a simple blog site around the word and set-up adsense at the top of the page. I do not add posts once I have written the first one but instead focus on back-linking.

An example of one of my adsense sites are Sump Pump Battery Backup .

Now this approach is not original and it looks like it coud not possibly work but believe me it does with a very high click through rate (CTR). This method of developing adsense sites is best distilled here Xfactor's Micro Niche Adsense Course
