Getting Started with
Google Adsense
Signing up for Google Adsense

but getting approved is not. You need
to have a stable blog which is
already established to get Adsense
account.

credentials while in the sign up
process. After doing everything, you
will be told that you will get a mail
once your blog gets approved for
Google Adsense.
Please note that, before applying to
Google Adsense, you should keep in
mind some guidelines. Your blog
should be at-least 6 months old and
should publish content on regular
basis.
Got your Adsense
Approved Already ?
If you are already a Adsense
Publisher, and or got your account
approved, then you should be
reading this. Because there are a lot
of Adsense publishers out there, who
are not getting the most out of
Adsense ad network.
The key for success with Google
Adsense is Keyword Research and
Targeted Traffic.
Google AdWords should be helpful
for keyword analysis, selecting the
most valuable keyword with as low
competition as possible. Also, long
tail keywords can also be helpful
most of the times because they
aren’t populated with lot of results.
For beginners, you should always
begin with focusing on long tail
keywords, so that you can obtain
decent traffic for your blog. Long
tail keyword sends out filtered
traffic. If you are focusing on a
keyword, that is basically a long tail
keyword, and have high CPC at the
same time, then you are doing it
right because it would be better than
to focus on a high competition
keyword.
Using these keywords, you will be
able to get filtered, or targeted
traffic to your blog. There’s a
chance of earning more if you
choose such keywords which are
easy to rank (low competition
keywords) and have high CPC ( cost
per click ).
Though the traffic you will get by
long tail keywords would be not
huge, but you will be earning good
even with that.
If you want to earn huge, you
should try amazon affiliate
marketing.
But for everything, you need search
engines help. Without ranking in
search engines, you can never get
the most out of your blog. So, focus
on content first, build decent traffic,
monetize your content through
Google Adsense by targeting high CPC
keywords with low competition. You
will also need to build backlinks for
the articles which you want to rank
high.
Use Heatmaps for
Placing Adsense Ads
Your earnings on Adsense depends
more on the ad placement and type
of ads.
So, if you randomly put ads in your
sidebar, or in the header, then you
are doing it wrong. Heatmaps can
help you decide the ad placement,
and analyzing ad locations and
placing ads based on heatmap can
yield you double of what you are
earning now.
Heatmaps show you the part of your
blog where people interact and click
more. So, if you place your ads on
such places, you are most likely to
double the number of clicks on your
Adsense ads easily.
The area where you get most clicks
is represented in red, so try placing
your ads in red area and try to
blend your ads with the content
around for best results.
You can use Google analytics to
generate heatmaps for your blog and
track the red areas.
Text Ads vs Image Ads
A lot of people ask whether text ads
work or image ads. Many bloggers
out there suggest between text ads
and image ads too. Most people are
in favor of Text Ads only.
But the true point is that both of
them works well. It depends on the
ad which is going to appear. It also
depends on the CPC of the ad.
So, there’s nothing like Text Ads
wins or something. You should
always use Text/Images ads which
will display both type of ads based
on the relevancy of your content.
There are also Video and Flash Ads,
which doesn’t works most of the
time. But they appear automatically,
so you can’t do anything about that.
Ad Sizes and Blending
Technique
Talking about the sizes, Adsense
gives a lot of option while choosing
ad type. You can select from various
sizes for text ads and image ads.
But for getting better results, you
must choose the most working ad
sizes, which are 300×250 pixels
banner ad and 728×90 pixels
leaderboard ad. These are observed
to be the most clicked ad sizes by
different Adsense publishers.
Blending your ads with the content
is one of the important thing you
need to do. Because if you make
your text ads look more like how
your content is, people will assume
the ads as a part of your content,
and then your ads are most likely to
get clicks.
For making your ads look like your
content, you just need to change the
color and font of your text ads to the
color scheme you are using on your
blog. And you can do this easily
while creating text ads on your
