A quick way to increase your websites/blog income is to add Google’s AdSense ads to your pages. We will look at some different ways to generate income through AdSense.
If you don’t have an AdSense account just visit Google’s AdSense site and sign up www.google.com/ads/affiliatenetwork
Once you've applied for your Google AdSense account you'll be able to view from hundreds of advertisers and place banners, text links, and coupons on your website/blog with keywords by various advertisers based on your content. This gives you the opportunity to make money every time someone who visits your site and click your ads. (But don’t click the ads yourself; Google will suspend your accont).
Google provides you with filters that allow you to select from advertisers that you feel may be a perfect relationship to post on your website/blog.
Once you get the ads setup it will be good for you evaluate your results and make changes accordingly. If you are willing to invest some time, learn more in the "tools" section and subscribe to advertisers as well. The information is "gold" as well as critical in understandig the company and how to generate more revenue. So tweaking is defintely a payoff.
When designing the ads make sure that they blend into the color of your content. This gives the illusion to those visiting your site that the ads support the information that they are reading about.
You may want to consider changing the color of the background and links so that it matches the color on your website. Be easy on the eyes.
Another advantage you have with color is that you can change it frequently so visitors think there is something new. This helps promote the overall stickiness of your site. You will want those visitors to return again. Consider using the AdSense ads as captions. When this is done, it draws the eye of the consumer through the text and increases the chances to be clicked.
Borders add flair when separating the ads from the content. Having the boarders will reduce your overall click rate though. Knowing this you should be careful not to use any of the preset borders that often come with AdSense. You will want to customize them. Check Google’s AdSense Customization Tips for improving your AdSense performance. Now that you have your website/blog, running with AdSense you may also want to include link units or even image ads. When visitors click on link units it will route to sites that have content that is related to your site and this of course will increase your revenue.
You may also want to consider putting a web search box on your site. Google has a search box as part of their Adsense program. This will add greater functionality for your visitors and increase your revenue. The advantage to this is that visitors to your site will not need to leave to do a search for the information they are looking for. The longer your visitors are on your site the greater chance there is of them clicking on one of your ads.
Working online is about having fun at something that is passionate to you, basically you're getting paid for doing something you love!
