How to Double Your AdSense Income Instantly

As you probably already know, AdSense is revolutionizing the way many infopreneurs are creating revenue from their web site traffic. The reason for this is its simplicity. Through AdSense, revenue is generated when someone simply clicks thru the AdSense ads displayed on the webmasters web site.

In this article I want to give you a few simple ways to dramatically increase your AdSense income.

The bottom line:

To increase AdSense income all you must do is increase the number of click thrus you receive.

There are two ways for you to increase your total number of click thrus. You can either increase your website traffic or you can increase your AdSense click thru rate. Now, getting more traffic would be great, but let’s be honest increasing your web site traffic is much easier said than done. So, let’s focus on increasing your AdSense click thru rate instead.

4 Tips to Increase Click Thru:

Match your AdSense to your website:

You want your AdSense ads to appear as seamless as possible. Your goal is to match every aspect of your AdSense ads to the theme of your website. What you want to do is remove the borders from your AdSense ads and match the background color of the ad to your website. Additionally, you want to match the color of the AdSense links to the rest of the links on your website plus choose an ad format that makes the ads look seamless.

For example, if your web site has a white background and the default color of your hypertext links is blue you will want to remove the border from your AdSense, make the background white, choose either a square or a rectangle as your ad format instead of a skyscraper or banner, and yep you guessed it… make the links blue.

Placement Matters:

Where you place your AdSense ads is just as important as how they look. Luckily, there are only a few concepts that you need to worry about in order to increase your click through rate.

The more white space around your ads the better
The closer to the top of the page the better
The closer the left of the page the better
Follow these concepts and I can assure you that you will see an increase in your AdSense click thru rate. (It really is that simply!)

Google Search:

Now this is one that I rarely see webmasters take advantage of. The Google AdSense program gives webmasters the ability to add a Google search box to there web site.

Why should you use this function?

Well, when a website visitor chooses to use this search box from your website your AdSense ID will be imbedded in ALL of that visitors Google searches. If that person does 1 search or 50 your AdSense ID will still be imbedded throughout process.

Why is this so great?

If that visitor clicks on any of the sponsored listings while surfing from your web site guess who makes money. YOU! If they hit the back button and click on another ad guess who makes money? YOU! This is absolutely huge. Through this function you now have the ability to earn multiple click thrus from the same visitor on the site visit. Please don’t overlook how powerful this is. Besides, most of your website traffic will just be browsing anyway, so I why help them find what there looking for and make a little coin along the way?

Tracking:

Just like any other type of marketing, you won’t know what’s working the best for you on your web site unless you track the different things that you’re experimenting with. Set up a few Google AdSense channels for the different ads that you’ll be placing on your website. Then just see which channels are working the best and stick to those.

That’s it!

Follow the tips above and I can assure you that you will absolutely double your AdSense click thru rate and your AdSense income. The best part about the four tips I’ve shared here is that you can put them into action immediately and see how they will work on your website right now. Who knows… you could be making twice as much by tomorrow by just making a few simple tweaks here and there.

Good Luck!

Google SEO Tips - Getting Indexed

When most people talk about SEO, or search engine optimisation, they consider Google to be the most important of the search engines. In all honesty, this is a sensible assumption. Google are by far the most popular search engine and, because the algorithms they use change so frequently, they are also one of the more challenging of all the engines. Reaching the top spot in Google can yield hundreds or even thousands of search visitors every single day. These visitors are so sought after because they are highly targeted visitors that are looking specifically for the topic of your page.

The first step to promoting your site is obviously to create the site and have it populated with top quality content. Once that is completed it is necessary to get your site indexed by the search engines. There are essentially three different methods of doing this, via a direct search engine submission, a directory submission, or through an inbound link from a site already indexed by Google. Google actually prefer the latter method because they believe that is how the web should be surfed and, so, how it should be judged.

Directory Submission – Effective But Extremely Lengthy Wait

The problem with relying on directory submissions is that while they are given reasonable weight by most search engines it can take a long time to be either accepted or not. Directories are large collections of websites broken into categories and usually subcategories. Human editors visit each and every site to determine whether a particular site is worthy of a place in the directory and only if this editor determines this to be the case is the site accepted.

Unfortunately, this can mean a wait of several weeks or even several months. In terms of being indexed by Google, one of the most beneficial directories to use is the Open Directory Project, also referred to as the ODP or DMOZ. While Google do use this directory and index it regularly it can take two to three months to get a response from them.

Google Submission – Effective But Extremely Lengthy Wait

Google Submitting directly to Google is another viable solution. The Add URL page of Google is simple and quick to complete, but again the problem is the amount of time between submitting and acceptance. Again, it can take as long as three months or possibly even longer. Google do not always inform webmasters of their decision so you could be left in the dark for sometime.

Inbound Links – Highly Effective And Incredibly Quick

Inbound Links are the currency of the Internet. The more inbound links you receive the higher up the search engine rankings you are likely to appear. Google, in particular, view an inbound link extremely highly and award weight to links according to how popular the linking page itself is. This means that a link from a page with a high PR or with a large amount of traffic is given more weight than a brand new page with very few visitors or low page rank.
Using the inbound link theory is generally much quicker. As a general rule, Google index sites every month or so but sites that are updated more regularly are also indexed more regularly. In particular, article directories that add content numerous times every day are indexed on a frequent basis and can provide a superb way to quickly get indexed by Google and have the pleasant side effect of providing numerous links and some direct traffic.

How To Gain Links Within A Week Using Article Directories

The process is simple enough. Write an article based on the same topic as that of your site, include a link in the short “About The Author” paragraph at the end of the article and include good keyword anchor text. There are literally hundreds of article directories on the Internet. Some take less than a day to include your article while other, more popular sites, may take a week or so. Once your content is on site it is just a case of waiting a couple of days for the Google spider to crawl by and index the page, follow your link, and subsequently index your page. Using this method you could be indexed in Google and receiving a number of powerful inbound links in less than a week; certainly a big improvement on the three month waiting list with DMOZ or Google themselves.
