AdSense Ad Positioning

These posts match your query:

As most of you might have noticed, I placed Adsense ads on this blog and have been experimenting to find out the best positions for the Ads. Some things I noticed are that the Ads on the footer and link units don’t get as much clicks as the ones below the post title.

Also placing random images next to the Ads really boosted the clicks. Currently I use tables to hold the images and Ads together. Some readers asked me how I had done this so I would like to share it here. The following example is for the 336×280 Adsense Ads.

first create several 90×280 images. You can use the free icons found here for the images
download the rotator script from here and rename it to rotate.php
Create a folder and put all the images and the rotator script in it
Now use tables (or css if you like) to hold the images and the Adsense Ad together

Here’s the table code I used







Place your Adsense code here

Place your Adsense code here

That’s it, this should boost your clicks. Does this violate Adsense TOS? Maybe this can clear things up.

Please don’t use my images for your Ads

Apart from experimenting with AdSense Ad Positioning, I have tried to track the Adsense clicks and earnings.

I currently use the Firefox extension- Adsense Notifier to display my Adsense earnings on the statusbar.

You can also view your Adsense earnings from your Google Desktop sidebar with the plugin available for download from here. The plugin displays your Ad’s page impressions, clicks, page CTR, page eCPM, and your earnings.

Also I would like to thank LiewCF for helping me submit the Tax Information needed by Adsense.

I will continue experimenting and report anything I find interesting

Google AdSense: 7 Tips For Creating Sites That Make Money

by: Neil Bartlett

Having a Google AdSense site is a great way to make money. And to create an AdSense site, all you have to do is have a Google AdSense account (which is free), a website or a blog (which is free), and some articles (which are free if you write them yourself). Once you get your site up and running, the AdSense ads will be targeted to your content.

Therefore, those looking for your content will come by, read your articles, and have a high probability of being interested in the targeted ads. Every time someone clicks an ad, you get paid! That is, as long as you have designed your site to maximize AdSense clickthroughs!

Let's look at seven tips for creating AdSense sites that create money.

#1: Keyword Density

Before you place ads on your site, be sure your keyword density is good. You will want to be sure that the right kinds of ads are placed on your site. A free way to determine what the ads will look like on your site is to go to http://www.resultsgenerator.com/adsense/ and type in your keywords. You will then be able to see exactly what ads would show on your site.

If you don't like what you see, then you know that you need to make changes to your keywords! You can get keyword suggestions from Results Generator from Overture or from the free trial version of Word Tracker.

#2: Focused

Not only will the ads be based on your keywords, but they will also be based on your content. You definitely want your keywords and your content to match as closely as possible.

#3: Write Often

The more information you have the better. Why? Because the more content you have, the more visitors you get. Many people suggest that you write a new article every day since no one wants to come back to your site to find the same old messages!

#4: Choose The Right Format

AdSense allows you to choose many different ad formats. Research has shown that wider ads are more successful. The top three formats are:

" 336x280 large rectangle
" 300x250 medium rectangle
" 160x600 wide skyscraper

Additionally, the 468x15 horizontal ad link under the navigation bar is also a good bet.

#5: Color Counts

You have the option to create a Google AdSense ad in any color of your choice. The best thing to do is to make your ad blend well with your site color scheme. You should make the border color and the background color the same color as your web site. You will want your text color to either be black or the color of your main content.

When creating your Google AdSense ads it is recommended to use the color scheme and style of your website so that the ads blend in well. Ads without background color and borders perfom better than ads within borders with background color.

#6: Position Counts, Too

It is well known that visitors to a website scan the site to determine if it is worth reading. You definitely want them to see and scan your AdSense ads. Therefore, the best place to put them is in the top left part of your page or directly under your headlines.

#7: Increase The Number

AdSense allows you to use up to three AdSense units on a page, two AdSense search boxes, and one unit of ad links. Using all that you can increases the chances of earning money.

Keep these seven tips in mind when creating your AdSense site and you will find that your clickthrough rates increase, thus increasing your money making potential.
