AdSense Strategies, Mistakes and More

Failing to Experiment and Test
Testing and experimenting are absolutely vital if you want to achieve maximum CTR. Although some people do get lucky and reach a very good CTR with the first version they try, most people will need to test a few different varieties before they find a version that works. Different demographics will react in different ways to different styles. Not only that, but different groups of traffic within that demographic may also react in different ways. For example, you might find that on a site with a majority of its traffic from pay-per-click marketing, you get great results when you've blended the ads into your website. But for traffic from Digg, that same strategy might not work.
This means you may see sudden drops or spikes in CTR when you start receiving a significant amount of traffic from a new source. I'd suggest starting out by blending your ads into your website. This seems to be the strategy that works best for most people. Test until you've received a decent amount of traffic and clicks. You can't get an accurate test with only 100 impressions. Ideally you'll want to wait until you've had at least 1,000 impressions before you make a judgment about the effectiveness of your ads. So what is a "good" CTR?
Well, honestly that depends on the niche, the traffic sources, the demographic, etc. There are many factors that can affect CTR. People say double digit CTR is good. Under double digits is still ok, but tweaking can very often bring CTR into the double digits. Double digits over 20% are possible, but this can't often be achieved with extensive testing. What can be tested?
  • The position of the ads.
  • The size of the ads.
  • The background color.
  • Blending vs. standing out.
  • Different colors for links, text, border.
  • Different border styles (none, standard, rounded).

What Are Google AdSense Keywords?

One thing that people get confused with is the Google AdWords program and the Google AdSense program. This can be confusing because people are looking for Google AdSense keywords to build their websites around.

In reality Google AdWords is a pay per click advertising program that you bid on targeted keyword phrases. This allows you to rank highly on the largest search engine for the campaign you put together.

Google AdSense is an affiliate program that pays you when people click on ads based on a script you place on a web page. Google pays out millions of dollars every month in Google AdSense affiliate commissions and you can get your share if you do it properly.

You are not necessarily targeting key words for Google AdSense, but rather you are including them in your meta tags on the web page that you build your website for. The same thing is true for your blog page when you do blog articles based on targeted keyword phrases.

You include these keywords in the title and in the body of your article. Google brings up advertisers for the Google AdSense program based on these targeted keyword phrases. This can sound confusing but in reality it's not. Google offers excellent tutorials on how to integrate AdSense into your business. They also take care of all of the advertising for you. Your job is to build quality content websites and blogs and drive traffic to them. In that way Google AdSense keywords can be beneficial to you.

SEO Top 10 Tips For Blogger

1. Descriptive page titles - Pages titles are the text that you see at the top of your browser when you are on a certain page. Having descriptive page titles will help let Google know what a certain page on your site is about. Blogger.com takes the blog titles that you create and places them into the page titles for you so it's important to make sure that your blog titles clearly describe what the blog you are writing is about

2. Using keywords in anchor text - The term "anchor text" is referring to text that composes a link to another web page or resource. It's important because Google uses anchor text used to describe links to pages on your site as part of its method for assessing the quality of a site. So, If I were trying to drive traffic to my site for a certain keyword phrase, I would want to use those keywords when linking to my page from my own site or when placing a link on an external website. For Example, right now the keyword phrase that I am targeting is "SEO Top Ten Tips". So, when I place this link on another page on my site, I would link it as SEO Top Ten Tips instead of simply placing the link as http://www.makeadsensemoney.ca/2008/12/seo-top-10-tips-for-blogger.html.

3. Consistent use of keywords - Make sure to use the title tag text throughout the content of your page. Google likes the use of the keywords consistently throughout a blog because it confirms that the title and the page content are related

4. Related blogs - place links to related blogs at the bottom of each blog that go to other blog posts on your site. this helps increase the internal anchor text on your Blog. Ensure that the link matches the title of the article title on the related article

5. Site Submission - Submit your site to Google, Yahoo and MSN. here are the links for submission Google, Yahoo, MSN

6. Add a site map to Google - add a sitemap to your blog or site and add it to Google webmaster tools so that Google can crawl all of the pages of your blog. You can use your Blogger.com Atom as your site map

7. Develop unique content - Google places a higher value on content that is unique from other websites. writing quality, unique content that follows simple SEO rules will rank highly on Google.
8. Update your site frequently - Google favors sites that update their content regularly. the more often you add or update information on your website, the more Google Bot will visit your site to check for those updates.

9. Building a high Google page rank - Page rank is a value that Google applies to your site based on how relevant and important it thinks that your website is. Google establishes this value by having its Bot look at the quality and quantity of inbound links pointing to your website from other sites. The more links you have pointing to your website with relevant anchor text, the higher your page will rank. Remember, not all sites are the same. Google will place higher value on a link from a highly ranked website with similar content as your site than it will a link from your buddy Joe's website that has no page rank.

10. Developing inbound links - Make sure you develop links manually. Using software that spams your link out to a bunch of online directories is frowned upon by Google and could result on a low page rank. Take the time to register with Blog directories and request links on sites that you feel have a common theme to your site where your content will be of value to its readers.
