5 Adsense Tips

Want to make money online using adsense? Need some helpful pointers on where to start and what some of the best tools out there are, well here are 5 adsense tools I use to do research and find the highest paying keywords.

This is the adwords tool I use. It is designed for advertisers in mind, but what I do is do a search for "Madison", then Choose data to display: => "Cost and Ad Position Estimate", put in a high value like $15, and then it shows how much advertisers are willing to pay for that certain keyword.

I think the best way to go is to target places by city. This could play heavily into what sections we have go into the site, ect if we really want to make some cash.

In order to get those ads to show up, we have to place keywords all over the site, a good percentage would be around 5%, so we should have "Madison WI", or a variation to get high paying Madison keywords.

Localize It

Right now I am getting around 10-20 cents a click, but if we target our areas towards specific cities, i think we can raise that even higher. 10% of the time someone views a page in my blog they click on it. So if were getting anywhere close to wiscolinks pageviews, which we should easy surpass, this means alot of cash, and this means that we could possibly bypass the venture capitalists and do this site on our own.

Ad Positioning and Color

Also another thing that improves click through rates, the rate of people who click on the ads per page view dramatically increases depending on where you position the ad. Such as on the template Steve printed off for me, he had the google ad on the bottom left corner, this is pretty much useless since a user almost always tunes those ads out. What I would suggest is having the google ajax search bar at the stop, with a horizontal leaderboard ad under that, and then the ajax webportal that houses all the information. This way the ad is inbetween two key things, the search bar, and the relevant content that we will have.
