Tips on How to Optimize Adsense

Adsense Section Targeting
You must know what is the best position and section to maximize your adsense earning. See the picture below and which part has more targeting from users
google-adense-targeting
For long articles, it is better to put your adsense in the middle of the contents or where the contents end. For short articles, put your adsense just above the content.

Google has also has published a list of the highest performing ad sizes:
336—280 large rectangle
300—250 inline rectangle
160—600 wide skyscraper

Normally, I find the 336 x 280 ad type has the best performance among other types.

Use Text ads instead of Image ads
The payout for Text ads are often higher than Image ads. So, you should always display Text ads whenever possible to maximize your adsense profit. Another reason of using Text ads are better because Text ads have more options and choices for readers. You can customize the fonts, color, CSS and size of the ads also. Customize your adsense with CSS will make your ads even more attractive to readers.

Block low paying advertisers with Adsense Competitive Ads Filters
You can block advertisers that are paying low and increase eCPM of your Adsense account. Although you have add all the websites but it will not gurantee eCPM will be higher since there are more and more websites advertising their websites using Adwords including those low payout advertisers. Blocking certain advertisers is not recommended unless you saw suspicious advertisers appearing in your Adsense.

Upload good quality images and use better captions
Sometimes you will get traffic from Image search engines that can earn you more AdSense Revenue than regular web traffic. So, it is always a good practices to upload good quality images and use appropriate text title with alt tags to make sure that blog images rank good in Image Search results page.

Separate each of your adsense section with a channel
By separating your adsense into different channels, you will know which types of ads section will bring you more profits by placing them in a good user target section.

Hi Shu Fren. Thanks for your comment :) The article said don’t use competitive ads because they said they want to keep as many bidders as possible.

Come to think of that, I don’t agree we will be serving lesser advertisers on our adsense when we block some websites because there are too many websites for you to serve the ads.

Many people want to block certain websites because they don’t want the user go to a MFA(Made-For-Adsense) websites. Usually those websites have low payout such as $0.01

Here is a good explanation : http://www.googletutor.com/2006/11/12/adsense-using-the-competitive-ad-filter-may-actually-improve-your-conversion-rates/

Making money with Adsense it’s becoming harder and harder. Couple of years ago, Adsense program was really hot

Nowdays, affiliate earnings are much more rewarding. More and more publishers go into CPA networks everyday. Adsense is paying penny per clicks .. Too bad .. I actually enjoyed it while it lasted.

Hi Rizeworkshop,

Thanks for your comment. Don’t worry about the low earning. You should focus on bringing more traffics to your blog/website. When you have decent traffic sources and loyal readers, you’ll see the earning increase. Normally, this wouldn’t happen in a night for a new blog. Continuous effort is needed. Good luck and let’s work hard to earn more money from adsense :)

hi Dharmesh. You can tweak your adsense code with better matching color to your blog theme. Make it blend to the theme color and remove border to make it look nicer. Try to play around with color and see which one gives best outcome to your blog. Good luck ;)
