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.
