Adsense Optimization Tip 3: Increase Earnings with other Adsense Features


It is possible to earn thousands on Google Adsense. I remember reading an article on Shoemoney showing his highest earnings on Google Adsense. And believe it or not, it is more than $100,000.  Yes! I've seen the check. If Jeremy can earn such bucks, then we can too. We can maximize our earnings on Google Adsense by using its other features. 

Automatically deliver text and image ads targeted to your site and your site contents. Since ads are targeted, you can show your readers useful ads or ads that they are interested in. Thus maximizing your website's revenue.

Create a search bar and place it on your website. Earn revenue by helping your readers search across your website or across the web. You can customize the appearance of search results and ads.
 
Earn revenue by displaying text and image ads on your mobile's content. You can easily integrate ads on your mobile's web pages.

Earn revenue displaying text and image ads on your RSS feeds. 

Earn revenue while parking your domain. If you have undeveloped domains, you can register for Adsense for domains and display ads. Rather than your visitors see empty pages of  your site.

This is a beta program of Google Adsense. If  you are a mobile applications developer, then you could sign up for this.

I don't know how this works. 

You can now monetize your videos. Display InVideo ads and earn more when someone embeds your video across the web. You could also sign up as a partner on YouTube.

If you are playing apps on Facebook, you will see Google Adsense ads on the page. Top companies using Adsense for Games are Zynga, Playfish, Konami, Grab.com, Armor Games and etc. 

So much for Google Adsense. Right now, I am currently enrolled on Adsense for Content, Search and Feeds.

Adsense Optimization Tip 2: Design the Perfect Ad


Designing the perfect ad on adsense is one of the key to earn on Google Adsense. It is not just by the quality of contents and quality of traffic that make you earn on Google Adsense. But how would you convince your visitors to click on the ad? You have to make it perfect! Perfect in a sense that it generates lots of clicks from your visitors. In designing the perfect ad, you have to take note of the following.

Ad Type

Choose the perfect ad size for your blog. The ad should encourage the visitors to click and not to annoy them. Experiment on different ad sizes and track them using channels on Google Adsense. Also think of a size that would fit on every section of your blog. For example, inside the blog post, the most appropriate ad size was 336×280 large rectangle. In the sidebar, you can put a vertical banner etc..

Color of the Ad

Should you go to a contrasting color or just blend the ad color with your contents? You must experiment on this and if the contrasting color generates more clicks, then you should go for it. Contrasting color - The ad color is different from your background making it to stand out. Blend the ad - means the background of the ad should be the same as the background of your blog/site. This would make users think that it is a part of your content and drawing them to click the ad.

Location of the Ad

Before you put ads, you must answer first these questions.

  • What part of my blog/site do most visitors visit? Is it the front page? etc..
  • What do my visitors usually do when they visit my blog/site? Read my contents? or Just hang around?
  • How can I manage putting ads by not making my blog full of just ads? Remember that you don't want to make your blog an ad blog.
If you could answer these questions, then you now have an idea on where to put ads. Ad positions varies depending on what type of blog/site you have. For forums, ads are best placed after posts and not on the header. Users usually scroll down to read and skip the header instead. For a normal blog like PC Holics,  ads are best place near contents. Now you get the idea.

The most important of all factors that is not mention here : Understand how your visitors behave on your site. Always listen to your visitors and not to everyone else if that would bring you more earnings.

Adsense Optimization Tip 1: Test and Track your Ads Using Channels



The concept of using "Channels" on Google Adsense was to test which custom ad block generate more clicks and give you  higher earnings. So in this optimization tip, you are required to put different ad slots on your site which has different colors, fonts, positions ,sizes and each must have a different channel name. However in case of a Blogger user, the system allows only to put 3 ad blocks on a Blogger blog. So you can't put multiple ad slots higher than 3. Correct me if my points are wrong here.

It pays your patience doing the optimization tip 1. Now you will see which ad performs better compared to the other ad slots. Using channels also lets you determine which of the two (banner and leaderboard ads) perform better in various positions of your blog/site.

Summarizing the concept, using channels helps you find out which ad position, color, font, and type of ad perform better on your site.

I Won P10,000 ($214) on Manny Pacquiao's Victory Over Cotto


I woke up 9:30 am(Philippine Time) this morning and watched the undercard fights before Pacman's fight. While watching, a man from the neighborhood came knocking. I let him in and served him with snacks. Then suddenly he asked me to bet on Pacquiao's fight. I said Pacman will win the fight. He laughs and bet on Cotto to win the fight. I challenged him to bet on Cotto for P10,000 ($214) then he agreed. Pacman's fight came and we both watched it with the money in the middle of our living room's table. Let me end this, I don't want you to read how I made him cry.  Of course I won! He walked out of our house with I don't know what to call on his face. Indifferent?

If you missed the fight. Here is the summary of it from Vancouver Sun. Written by Harold Munro on his article " Blog: Manny Pacquiao wins WBO welterweight title fight"

Round 1


Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao entered the ring wearing a huge grin. In contrast, Miguel Cotto was all business, never cracking a smile.

Cotto snapped Pac Man's head back with an early strong jab and beat him to the punch most of the round.

Both landed 12 punches but Cotto's blows were more solid.


Round 2

Pac Man landed several combinations to the head. Cotto on his heels, recovered to hit him with a couple of stiff jabs, but not enough to slow down Pac Man, who tagged Cotto with more than 30 punches.



Round 3

Pac Man staggers Cotto with an over hand right early in the round that results in a standing 8 count.

Late in the round, a Cotto upper cut rocks Pac Man.

Pac Man appears to lead 2 rounds to 1.


Round 4

Pac Man sent Cotto to the canvas for the second time with a sharp left upper cut.

Cotto had been doing better until being knocked down late in the round.

Pac Man went to the ropes a couple of times to rest up.


Round 5

Cotto has slowed down since the opening rounds. His punches do not seem to have the same power.

Pac Man, however, was not as accurate this round.

Cotto appeared to land more blows and may have won the round.


Round 6

Again Pac Man's speed overcomes the strength of Cotto. PacMan lands 38 to 8 punches.

The story of the first half of the fight is Pac Man's abiliity to strike from both the left and the right. Cotto has a powerful left hand but not much from the right side.


Round 7

Pac Man kept on coming, relentlessly moving forward to keep Cotto on his heels.

Cotto was given no chance to come forward with any kind of offense.

Again he was out-punched 4 to 1 by the busier and fresher Pac Man.


Round 8

Cotto again in full retreat as Pac Man chased him around the ring with a series of combinations. Cotto appeared hurt a couple of times but never went down.

Pac Man landed 30 punches to Cotto's 11.


Round 9

Cotto's face is a red mass of bruises after a tough round in which Pac Man again peppered him with combo after combo.

Cotto was always going backwards. His wife and young son had seen enough. They left the arena between rounds.



Round 10

Cotto must know that he is way behind, but was never the aggressor in this round.

Pac Man appeared to use this round to rest. Neither fighter was very active.



Round 11

Cotto bleeding from his mouth, nose and above his left eye.

It's all about survival now. Pride.

Cotto can't win unless there is a miracle punch in the final round.

That seems unlikely because his punches have no impact on Pac Man.

Cotto doesn't know what round it is. He asks his corner, "Is there is one left?"


Round 12

Referee stops the fight one minute into the final round. Cotto can no longer defend himself.

TKO.

Pac Man makes history as the first fighter to win seven titles.
