About Google AdSense


How does Google AdSense work?
Google AdSense is an entrepreneurial Webmasters dream. It is arguably the easiest way for a Webmaster to make money from a content rich site. 
Unfortunately making a good content rich website isn’t easy.

AdSense is a derivative of the Google AdWords program

AdWords is basically the small adverts you see at the right side of the screen every time you look for something using Google’s search engine.
These ads are paid for by Webmasters to promote their sites. AdWords is a good, fast way to get sites seen quickly (though at a cost) without the fuss of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Due to the popularity of AdWords Google had to find alternative means of advertising their excess material and they duly came up with AdSense. The AdSense program works by enabling Webmasters to advertise AdWords campaigns on their own websites. And every time these ads are clicked Google pays the Webmaster a percentage of the sponsor’s allocated advertising budget. But what makes AdSense really work is the means by which it integrates into sites. Not only can they be configured to fit neatly into the layout of nearly any kind of site but Google has designed the system so that the AdSense ads they deliver are actually relevant to the content material of the sites they are put into. For more information go to: How Google AdSense works
 Can Webmasters make money using AdSense?
Of course Webmasters can make money using AdSense but it requires a lot of work. The work comes in three equally important parts:
  • Planning, researching and organising of the site.
  • The creation and putting together of the site.
  • And the marketing of the site.
If all these parts are done to a reasonable level, a competent Webmaster might be able to put a decent AdSense website together. And a decent AdSense website means a decent money making business. 
The initial planning ensures that the theme and hence the keywords relating to your site are relevant and are in demand. The creation of the site requires that you make sure the layout, design and content are well arranged to make full use of the AdSense ads on your site. The marketing aspect of an AdSense venture is the end game and possibly the hardest part of the process. It is the part that is focused in drawing traffic into your site. 
However, if your research was thorough, your design is good and your content is quality you will have no problem attracting visitors to your site.

Good content is the heart of AdSense

Producing quality content-rich sites is the only means of gaining the confidence and trust of the visitors that happen to visit your AdSense website.
So in response to the opening question, yes, money can be made using AdSense but all the ingredients have to be in place to make it work. Only the most persistent, organized and motivated Webmasters can put together a viable long term AdSense project. So maybe...

AdSense isn’t for some

But that isn’t the whole story. Small, short, unplanned projects can make incredible amounts of AdSense revenue. But instances of this are extremely rare. Blogs (these are what these sites are called) can be put together quickly and cheaply (free on blogger.com and reasonably priced with Typeword). Blogs are popular, but they are often only a temporary means of using AdSense. They are often posted to reflect ongoing activity (be it in entertainment, someone’s personal life or a developing technology) and so can only be of interest as long as they kept up to date. 
But for those who are wary of taking on big, complex website projects blogs could be an alternative AdSense avenue.

Possible AdSense Earnings


Google has shrouded the whole AdSense program in a veil of mystery. That’s why everything relating to its details seems so vague and indefinite. Google has not been forthcoming with even the most basic of AdSense enquiries relating to the cost of various pay-per-click ads and how the system works. Google has also prohibited anyone from disclosing personal financial information relating to their AdSense account. This rule has been adhered to by most Webmasters; no one wants to see their AdSense membership revoked. 
But from behind the secrecy some approximate figures have come to light.

 

What are AdSense possible earnings per-click?

Earnings per-click vary markedly from one site to the next. On average a click could cost anything between $0.03 - $50.00, with most earnings per click been in the lower end of this range.
How much can you earn with AdSense?
Again this varies depending on a number of factors, these are;
  • Search Engine Ranking (SER). The higher the ranking the more you get per-click per-ad.
  • Website topic and theme. The content and keywords of your site dictate the type of AdSense ads that Google allocates.
  • Traffic levels. This determines how many visitors passes through your site.
  • Number of AdSense ads relating to specific keywords.

The perfect set of AdSense factors

So the ideal combination of factors that would result in a website that generated good AdSense income would be one that had high search engine ranking, for a number of popular keywords. Even more ideal would be if the keyword relevant for the site was linked to high paying Adwords advertisers.
It’s extremely rare for these combinations of factors to all work towards a Webmasters advantage. But a high SER with one or two of the factors above normally ensures a generous income stream for most sites.
Underlying all these factors is the need for a good constant flow of traffic through your site, without which there can be no AdSense revenue at all.
But to get the high flow of traffic that would be needed for success is not easy at all. This fact becomes apparent when we realize that on average most AdSense websites earn less than $5.00 a day. That’s $150.00 per month and a measly $1800 per year, not much really, is it?

The facts behind AdSense Earnings
So what levels of traffic is required to generate the average AdSense income? On average most AdSense sites have the following statistics:
  • Make $0.5 per click
  • Get approximately 1000 impressions per day.
  • And we know that most sites have about a 1% CTR value  (Click-through-rates are basically calculated by dividing the number of clicks on ads by the number of impressions of a given site and dividing the resulting value by 100).
  • This then gives us a value of about ten clicks per day per site.
  • Earn $5.00 a day ($150.00 a month)
Not much returns for seemingly reasonable traffic levels and a value of $0.5 per click is slightly generous (the average value is a bit lower). Good AdSense sites on the other hand have statistics along these lines:
  • Earn $0.5 per click
  • Get approximately 10000 impressions per day (High SER’s 1-10 for popular keywords).
  • Have a CTR value of about 5%.
  • Altogether this results in about 500 clicks per day.
  • And $250.00 a day (~$7500.00 a month).
From this we can see that the major difference between the two sites is the level of traffic. Even with a CTR value of 1%, a good site with the above statistics can earn up to $50.00 a day (~$1500.00 per month), which is reasonable AdSense earnings. But not all is lost with average sites... If a webmaster is hardworking enough they could build, up to ten average sized websites. If each earned the average amount of just $5.00 a day then ten, could altogether make more than $1500 a month.
To get a better a idea of possible AdSense earnings use the AdSense calculator.

 

The Top AdSense Earners

The few whose sites have achieved the right combination of factors have gone on to become the top highest AdSense earners. This is a list of the top individual AdSense earners of the last few years:

You could also be a top AdSense earner like those listed above by creating a heavily trafficked site. The key to AdSense success lies in building a unique yet popular website. If you create a site that more than lives up to people’s expectations, it will undoubtedly be remembered and will be revisited time and time again. Before you know it you could be receiving cheques from Google in the range of tens of thousands of dollars a month.

AdSense and Blogs


 The Ease of Blogs:
Using blogs is a great way to get a good idea into the web quickly without the complexities involved in setting up a proper website.
Even though blogs only takes minutes to set up they can look quiet professional. When setting these up, you are given a choice of templates to choose from, colors can be changed and other parameters can be tweaked to give a semblance of uniqueness. You don’t need knowledge of HTML, CSS or PHP, all you need to make a blog work is a great niche or a new topic that will generate fantastic amounts of traffic.
But ease doesn’t make success. To make a blog work... needs work, the same amount of content work required for a normal website.
 Most webhosts offer free blogging services in their packages. Google through blogger.com also offer blogging services for free but their site is very simple and is geared for the beginner blogger. Another good website for the more experienced blogger is Typepad who offer a free 14 day trail before registration. Typepad offers a host of fantastic services for those who wish to publish content on a regular basis into the World-Wide-Web without the hassle of getting caught up in the knots and bolts of a proper website.

The pros and cons of blogs

Blogs are different from websites for a number of reasons, some good, some bad. Blogs are quick and simple to set up while websites take a while to put together and can be extremely complicated.  Blogs tend to burn out quickly (though this isn’t always true) and are only viable as long as they are frequently updated. They don’t have the depth and the presentational variety that is possible with websites.
Blogs can be thought of as a supernova (especially a blog that has been built around a fantastic buzz topic) that burns brightly for certain period of time. Websites on the other hand can be thought of as long, stable Suns. They can take a very long time to gather momentum, but when they do so they can maintain that momentum for an equally long period of time.
 Creating simple AdSense blogs:
Blogs can be used to capture a moment. They can be used as a vehicle to discuss and write about something topical, current and personal. They can also be used with AdSense and they can be put together in minutes. Here’s how it could be done:
  • Think of a theme. This could be anything you think could be of interest to people. You never know a good theme and name could be earning you some AdSense revenue faster than you think.  Take about 30 minutes to decide on an idea and a name.
  • The next step is to register or apply for a blog site. This can be done through your webhost, through blogger.com or through Typepad. If you are planning on developing your blog into something serious I suggest using Typepad instead of blogger.com. The services that the site provides are probably the best you can get from any blog provider. From the use of thousands of templates to a great user interface the site has it all.

If on the other hand you are planning to only put together a small temporary blog, blogger.com is the better choice, simply because its free.
  • After registration it’s time to choose the templates that best reflects your subject matter. At Google’s blogger the choices are limited, however at Typepad the choices are vastly more varied. If you a planning on creating a visually appealing blog, one that is more likely to get good traffic and a good CTR values Typepad is choice for you.

  • Following customization comes AdSense registration. Blogger.com allows you to register to AdSense through the site. But if you joined another blogging site you can easily go to Google to apply. AdSense application takes no more than 10 minutes, unfortunately you will have to wait at least two days for your application to be approved.
  • But in the meantime you can work on your chosen theme. It can be about anything, as long as you have an avid interest in the topic of choice. You can write about your car, your family, topical entertainment news anything that you are passionate about. Everyone has interests, hobbies and experiences, the more connected you are to the theme the better your writing will be.

  • The look of your AdSense blog can be changed to your liking once Google has approved your application. Their borders can be removed, colors changed and font size fixed depending on the look you want for your blog.
  • So your blog is set up and way you like it. The whole process excluding  the wait for the AdSense application approval can take as little as 45 minutes. So the next step is to divert some traffic to your site. This is the heart of any AdSense site. You will need to submit your site to the search engines, trade links with related sites and start telling anyone who will listen about your blog. 
Points to remember
  • The benefit of blogs is that they keep you current. Blogs quickly loses their appeal if the information they contain gets out of date. So they need constant work, keep updating it on regular basis. Remember, Google loves blogs because they are updated regularly.
  • Remember to always keep refining the content, images and video it might contain.
  • If possible elaborate and expand on the theme. Remember you want to keep the blog viable for as long as possible, so expand on the theme of the site.
  • Make sure your blog contains clear concise titles, plenty of keywords and loads of key phrases.
  • Change the ‘meta name’ in your template and replace it with keywords of your own.
  • Make sure that your blog doesn’t contain too many images. Google can’t read pictures, its crawlers only respond to text.

How to Build a Free Website


 Why Learn HTML?

Making a free website is simple. But before we start putting it all together we first need to go through some rudimentary HTML. Getting to grips with basic HTML gives a complete beginner a simple understanding of the structure of a website and gives them a feel of the code.

Understanding code is important for any website designer... even a beginner. Even if someone was to use a very good WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) editor they would still need to know some HTML and CSS to ‘tweak’ their site to perfection. No WYSIWYG editor makes a perfect site (not even Dreamweaver).  

Knowing a bit of website code gives you the ability and confidence to ‘create’ a site to your own specifications and tackle any problems that might arise from putting together a website (and no matter how good you are you always bump into problems while putting together sites!).

In the tutorial on this site we will cover some very basic HTML and CSS code and then put together a bare-bones but well presented website.

In the PDF accompanying this tutorial we will go into further details, and go through the required CSS rules needed to put together a more stylish Adsense website.
At the end of the tutorial we shall have a website that looks something like this:
  

But we have to start from the very beginning; we will start with the primary code of web-building; HTML.
About HTML tags
Due to the introduction of CSS, the numbers of HTML tags that are commonly used on websites have been drastically reduced. Using tables for layout is no longer a popular option because CSS has taken over control of nearly all elements regarding presentation.
The only role left for HTML is to look after the core structural elements of a website. A task which involves only a small number of tags. Making the modern incarnation of HTML (X)HTML very easy to learn.

Page-wide HTML tags
All tags are enclosed within two angled brackets. They are normally used in pairs; the first turns on an effect or opens a particular section and the second turns an effect off or closes a particular section. All websites use the following tags and have the following basic structural layout.

Notice that all tag pairs ends with a slash (for example <p> and </p>).
Most websites are contained within the tags shown in the diagram above. They will likely be present in all the pages of all the websites that you create. It is the backbone of all web pages. Their functions are:
  • <html> tags surrounds the whole web page. All other tags are contained within the <html> tag. It starts and finishes a webpage.
  • <head> section deals with most of the administrative details of your website. It tells the browser how it should render the page, it gives instructions to search engines on how the page should be indexed.
  • <title> tags also resides within the <head> section. The information contained within this tag is what is displayed on the bar at the top of the browser displaying the page name.
  • <body> tags contain the main bulk of the page. This is where the visible part of your site is contained.
  • <p> tags is a standard on most webpages and is used mostly to organize the content of a web page.

Google AdSense Strategies



 Different types of AdSense Strategies:
What are the best Google AdSense strategies? What are the best ways to make money using AdSense?
There are a number of known Google AdSense strategies, some are safe while others are notoriously risky. The safe options tend to be long and drawn out while the more risky strategies can often deliver quick results.

Types of Google AdSense strategies
 
There are different ways to make money with Google AdSense. Most of the best strategies are risk free, though some may get you banned by Google if practiced excessively. So choose which strategy you decide to use wisely. Avoid taking risks but if you have to, make sure you know what you are doing.

Here are some of the most practiced Google AdSense strategies:
  • The Shallow Site Approach – Only a few pages are needed to execute this strategy. And as long as the flow of traffic through them is heavy enough, substantial amounts of AdSense revenue can be generated. This strategy can be executed very quickly but it requires a very good niche theme to accomplish with any success. There is a small amount of risk involved with this approach but this primarily depends on the means by which traffic is directed through the site.

  • The Broad Site Approach – This strategy attempts to make the most out of AdSense by focusing on quantity. This method gets high levels of traffic by utilizing a multitude of poorly trafficked webpages. It relies on the overall traffic volume to generate healthy AdSense revenues. The standard of sites using this approach doesn’t necessarily have to be poor as there a acceptable ways of creating a lot of good quality content quickly without using automated methods that spam the Search Engines (for example user-generated content).

  • The Authority Site Approach – This is the method most encouraged by Google and therefore the method most likely to reap significant long-term benefits. It basically involves the creation of a large, quality, AdSense website. It is the long-approach of making money with Google AdSense and requires a lot of time and patience to accomplish successfully. But can be the most lucrative strategy. There are no real risks to this method as long as Google’s Terms of Service (ToS) are adhered to.

  • Revenue Sites – This strategy is quiet risky because it involves a technique that is openly discouraged by Google. It often uses automated methods to generate hundreds (sometimes even thousands) of sites. However, the practice of creating hundreds of revenue sites to make AdSense money has worked for many AdSense publishers over the years and can be extremely lucrative. The method essentially works by focusing on long-tail search terms and the principle of ‘quantity' over 'quality’.

  • AdSense Arbitrage – This is another method that is discouraged by Google. It has become difficult strategy to use lately due to some new rules that Google have added to both their AdSense and AdWords schemes. But some experienced AdSense publishers still use AdSense arbitrage to make significant amounts of money.
These are some of the strategies used to make money with Google AdSense. Some publishers use a combination of different methods to draw traffic to their sites to enhance their AdSense earnings. The more experienced you are with AdSense, the more familiar you will become with the various strategies used to make money and the more prolific you will become with using them.

Common AdSense Mistakes


AdSense misconceptions

With all the fanfare around AdSense, it’s easy to get confused and loose your way. While putting a project together it’s important that you remain focused and remain persistent.
One of the biggest barriers to AdSense success is a gradual decline in motivation. This can affect anyone, at any stage of a project. 
This combined with a general lack of understanding regarding how large a project can be and the timescales involved means that a large percentage of AdSense project falls to the wayside before completion.

Don’t be disillusioned about how AdSense works

Understand and ingest what it takes to build and market a successful AdSense website. One core thing to remember about all this is that the market is there. There are millions of people surfing the net everyday and the numbers are still growing. Here are some useful points to remember when embarking on an AdSense project:
  • Plan, organise and research. Choose a theme that is going to be of interest to you (helps with motivation) and one that is in demand but still niche (look at researching AdSense topics).
  • Don’t focus too much on the money. It can seriously damage your chances of success. The prospect of earning AdSense cash can make you extremely impatient and it can make you lose focus. Remember, it’s the quality of the content that draws in the crowd; that should be your first priority.
  • Know the full extent of a project. A project not only includes the planning and building of a website, it also includes the time required to market it. In fact more time is used marketing a site then actually putting it together (look at AdSense and SEO).
So the journey is only half complete after building the site, the more difficult struggle is getting your website noticed.
  • Keep building and keep marketing. Treat your AdSense website like a business. Don’t leave it stagnant. Like a store that doesn’t stock its shelves with fresh produce, if you leave your site unattended for too long, its material will quickly get out of date. And this would be noticeable to your visitors.Continue to build new pages, expand and update when necessary. Write blogs about your site, join forums and tell everyone about your fantastic AdSense website.

Keep focused and follow your project through

A theme that runs through all these tips is the need to keep focused and remain motivated. It can be difficult when only after five months on a project you’re only getting a measly $5.00 a month. But if you’ve planned and researched your site thoroughly and you’ve isolated the right keywords, written good quality material and have a decent looking user friendly site, you will be rewarded in the end with a good source of AdSense income. But remember not to give up just before it comes your way.
Here a few more general tips to keep you on the straight and narrow path towards AdSense success:
  • Try and use the right types of ads for certain locations of your site. The only way to know what ads works best and where is to experiment. The same principle applies to working out what colours work best.
Don’t get obsessive about tweaking your AdSense site (...remember AdSense fever?). Try and write out a schedule for optimizing your AdSense site and try to keep to it. More importantly keep an AdSense journal to write out all your observations and keep all you notes so you don’t keep going over hold ground. 
  • Use ad link units. These are serious money earners if used properly. Again find the right locations to place them on your site.
  • Don’t rush. Knowing that large sites are the true AdSense money earners there is a temptation to build a large site as quickly as possible. But building a large quality website quickly isn’t realistic. If you don’t want to create a poor quality, low performing AdSense website, you have to be patient and build your material gradually.
As long as you are consistent, persistent and organized you will get your AdSense business up and running successfully in due time.

How To Build AdSense Traffic



How to get AdSense traffic

With all the work you’ve put into your site, the days of critical planning, the designing, brilliantly keyword optimized pages would all come to nought if you can’t get any traffic.
The best route towards getting good AdSense traffic is high search engine ranking. But how is this achieved?

On-page SEO is all about preparing your pages for the search engines and preparing them for the right type of AdSense ads. It’s all about laying the foundations and getting your pages ready for the big event which is improving your link popularity.

AdSense websites and link popularity

Link popularity is a search engines means of assessing how popular your site is according to other Webmasters. Basically the more your site is quoted through incoming links the more it is valued by the search engines.

Off-page optimization is what fuels your site. Without a good off-page optimization campaign your bid to get decent AdSense traffic is doomed to failure.
The system by which Google ranks a website is quite complex, but in essence it is primarily driven by:
  • The quantity of links that points to your website

  • The quality of those incoming linksThe relevance of those links (if they are related to your AdSense theme)
If you can get a significant number of incoming links from a number of high quality sites (those that are well established and trusted by Google) the quicker your AdSense website will move up the rankings.

Be wary of sites selling links

There is a demand for quality incoming links and because of this demand a market has opened up for them. You can now get hundreds of links to your site... for a price.

Remember the criteria of the links that is valued by Google, it is not only the quantity, but their relevance and their quality. Unfortunately, the relevancy and the quality of some of the incoming links that are sold in bulk are usually very poor. So poor in fact that you could be penalized by the search engines if you happen to use them.

The best way to get incoming links to your AdSense website is to find them yourself. But before you go out on the hunt for some AdSense traffic, make sure you have a large enough site. Webmasters will only obligingly link to your site if they think that it has something to offer.

Also, remember to keep a close eye on how your traffic levels are doing. You can't seriously hope to build traffic for your site if you can't keep track of how many visitors are going through it. Been able to track the path by which visitors find your website is essential for any traffic building campaign. There are many ways to do this but by far the best method is to use the analytics tool provided by Google.

SEO and Google AdSense


 The importance of optimizing AdSense sites:
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It is the process of optimizing your pages to make them ‘crawler’ friendly, so that they can be read and understood easier by search engines. It is also the process of making web pages relevant to specific keywords in order to get your website to the top of search rankings.

The heart of SEO are keywords

In the world of AdSense, SEO is essential. If SEO is not done at all or done incorrectly it could seriously damage the sucess of your AdSense project. The heart of SEO are keywords. SEO is mainly about the types of keywords you use, their placement and their density on your website pages. SEO basically represents the foundation of your marketing machine. It determines what kind traffic you get and it determines the quality of that traffic. It even determines, in a roundabout way, your final traffic levels.


Optimizing your pages with the right keywords determines what kind of search queries your pages turn up on. If you focus on the wrong keywords, or they are not focused enough, you could get your pages turning up on completely irrelevant searches.SEO is important for two major reasons in respect to AdSense:
  • Optimizing your pages with the right kind of keywords also determines the types and quality of AdSense ads Google delivers to you.

A note about keywords and traffic levels

In relation to traffic levels, on-page optimization like keyword density and placement are no longer as influential a criterion as they once were for high rankings. The ranking algorithms that search engines use nowadays are much more complex and are more focused on off-page factors. But keyword choice can affect final traffic levels. This is because some keywords are more popular than others. If you decide to use extremely popular keywords all through your site you will be in direct competition for these keywords with a lot of other sites. You will also have to share traffic with these sites and this will inevitably affect you final traffic levels. On the other hand if you choose a variety of keywords that are less competitive you could possibly monopolize the traffic for these keywords. Basically when planning your AdSense website be wary of keyword competition and make sure you use a variety of keywords as well as less competitive ones.

 Search Engine Optimization and AdSense revenues:

Over the years the process of SEO has become a long, complex process. Long gone are the days where an abundance of keywords was all you needed to top a search engines search rankings. 
SEO has become an art form. And all art requires diligence as can be seen if proper keyword research is undertaken.
SEO can be split into three distinct parts:
  • Keyword research. This involves using search-based keyword tools likeGoogle’s Adwords search tool and Wordtracker’s free keyword tool to find out which keywords best fit your site and will help in its eventual promotion.
  • On-page optimization. This involves labelling metadata, tags, page text and other page elements, so that your site is primed with keywords and ready for the search engine ‘crawlers’.
  • Off-page optimization. This part involves building keyword-rich external links into your pages from other popular and related websites. It also involves building links from other external sources including article sites and blogs.
Each stage has to be meticulously and persistently followed in order to obtain worthwhile search engine rankings. Remember, that 84% of searchers do not make it past the bottom of page two of search engine results. Outside of page two is in fact AdSense wilderness. Traffic levels are incredibly low (even for the very popular keywords) and it is very difficult to generate decent AdSense revenues outside of page two. 
In fact there is more to a top ranking position than the 84% statistic suggests. It’s clear that the closer a site is to the number one position the more trusted it is by its visitors and the more likely they are to click on the ads present on the site. Visitors seem to associate a top ranking website on Google with something akin to a quality brand.
So we can see the benefits of SEO. It not only determines the quality of traffic coming into you website, it indirectly affects its levels. And absolute optimization (a number 1 position) has an unequalled effect on CTR values that can boost AdSense revenues in a manner that no amount of ad tweaking can rival.

AdSense Content


The heart of AdSense success lies in good website content.  Good AdSense content draws in the traffic. It is the factor that persuades them to return and it is the part of your site that determines if your visitors click on your ads.

But writing content for the web isn’t easy. This is because you have to serve two masters, your potential users and the search engines indexing mechanisms. Providing quality content sometimes isn’t enough because you also have to write AdSense content that Google’s crawlers can recognize and index properly.
Basically, try and use your page specific keywords as much as possible when writing AdSense content. Mix it up with a few variations of your keywords and always try to put your keywords in <h1> and <h2> title tags.

Writing your own AdSense content:

The best way of creating AdSense content is to write it yourself. There is nothing more satisfying than writing your own original material about something that you are passionate about. Writing your own content gives you essential control over the development of you website. You are the heart of everything. New ideas stems from what your write, your website layout is dependent on what you are writing about. The images and multimedia elements you finally decide to use are reliant on what you discuss, elaborate on and share on your site.

Writing your own AdSense content puts you closer to the material, giving you the ability to fine tune it, change and tweak it, so it better expresses what you want to convey. 
Even if you are not a writer of any repute (who in the net is anyway?) you should give it a go. Practice (in the world of writing at least), does make perfect.

But writing your own AdSense content can be extremely time consuming. This is especially true if you are planning on creating a 50 or so page website. That’s why people sometimes seek alternatives.

Tips for writing AdSense content

Make sure that you plan your content material adequately. Use your well-researched AdSense keywords all through your writing. Keyword enriched articles pulls in better AdSense ads, which in turn are more likely to get the click. But be careful not overuse them, remember your first priority are to your human users. Look after the search engines only after your visitors have been properly catered for.

Keep your pages specific. Stay focused on the topic, while it’s tempting to start discussing other aspects of your general theme, it doesn’t help those visiting your site who are expecting something more detailed and specific.

Create lots of quality AdSense content. The primary reasons why most AdSense websites fail is because they lack enough quality content. We all know it’s easier to write short, succinct articles but longer articles (more than 500 words) tend to perform better.

Write to your strengths. Don’t try to write in styles not familiar to you. If you have a technical background, then try refine that aspect of your writing in your articles. By all means develop all areas of your writing but don’t experiment with your AdSense content material. Write some articles outside of the web and test them with family and friends to get an idea of how good they are. If they are decent you can start to publish them on article sites.

AdSense Keyword Search Techniques


AdSense keyword research is essential for those planning to seriously use AdSense to generate some long term income. The following guidelines are merely tips compiled from a number of successful SEO experts (these include... David Viney, Jeol Comm, Harold Davis, Ken Evoy to name a few).

... Let us imagine that you are fitness fanatic. You love keeping fit and enjoy exercising. You eat, sleep and drink everything about exercising and keeping fit. You have a gym at home and also go to your local gym whenever the fancy takes you.
It's crazy, you know, but you just can't help it. Anyway, to distract you a little and stop you from completely breaking down from over-exhaustion you’ve decided to share your passion for exercising with the rest of the world and you want to create a health and fitness site.You know about AdSense and you’ve even heard of keyword research but how should you proceed? Should you build a health and fitness site or should you focus it and create a specialist site?

The basics of keyword research


AdSense keyword research is not as complicated as some people would like you to believe. However, it does take a bit of time and can be a bit tedious. The best way to find your ideal keywords requires that large parts of it be done manually. 


The three key areas

During the preliminary brain storming session you isolated the themes that you liked best and you have done some basic investigations into the ones that are likely to be the most profitable. From this initial list you decided to pursue the general theme of health and fitness (it is your burning passion after all).
With our general idea based around the extremely large health and fitness theme we will attempt to find popular niche topics that we can use to create a good AdSense website. Overall the process involves researching the:
  • Demand for the niche areas of your general theme
  • Supply for the niche areas of your theme
  • Expansion of the keywords of your chosen theme
In the demand section you are asking the question; how many people are actually searching for fitness related topics? Is there a demand for your chosen general theme and if so what areas are the most popular?
In the supply section you are investigating your competition. You are asking that if there is a demand for a certain theme, is there a supply? Is there too much competition for our AdSense keywords? Is the niche over-saturated? What areas have low supply if any?
Expansion occurs when you’ve chosen your niche and you have to create general and specific keywords for your website.
  • General keywords are the ones that you use all through your website. In essence they describe the overall theme of your site.
  • Specific keywords are used for specific pages within your site. They are used for different topics within a theme and are more focused and exact.
When researching AdSense keywords you will need to use a keyword search tool. In this exercise we will be using two keyword tools. Googles keyword search tool and WordTrackers free keyword tool to do our investigation. To access both tools just use the following links:
