[Make Money online] Google Adsense Placement Guide

in Google adsense

Google adsense advertisement is the best way for any blogger to earn through Blogging and there websites but the problem is always about which is the best place to place the adverts. Prime aim of any blogger is to give excellent content and he can’t take a risk to place advertisement at the middle of the post which is very annoying.

Adsense placement is quite tricky and placing your Google adsense adverts can double your traffic if you place your advertisement with trick and without annoying readers. With little cleverness you can actually double your Google adsense income.

I have visited many discussion forum and here goes the guide which might help you to increase your revenue: First of all have a look at official Google adsense heat map Google adsense placement Which clearly talks about the best adsense placement without annoying your readers.

It’s a fact that non technology websites make double of the money then technology websites reason being that reader of technology websites are well aware of advertisement and they generally ignore the advertisement but on the other hand non technology websites like dating, astrology websites make more money with google advertisement because of unawareness of the readers.

Another fact is when readers from technology websites read the article and they find it useful they click on advertisement to appreciate the article. While putting advertisement do you think of following points:

  • Why your readers are here?
  • Content is more important or advertisement?
  • Where to keep the advertisement without hampering your readers point and without knocking down your advertisement.

“Smart work is always better then hard work”

You might think that I can write better post and get more organic traffic and Better traffic = Better Income. But think the other way placing adverts at the right place and at the same time concentrate on better quality of post thus you will accomplish both the task: Traffic and income

Best advertisement placement guide:

Before advertisement have a look at maximum number of advertisement unit you can keep on your websites Before the post ( text advertisement have better CTR then the image advertisement at that place)

  • Have a look at SEOunleashed he cleverly placed the advertisement (Yahoo advertisement) between the posts which does not even look like an advertisement but you need to be very careful with keywords when you planning to do anything like this.
  • Ad placement at Top of the article header again have better Google adsense CTR.
  • If you thinking only about revenue you can place advertisement between the content.( Link units )
  • Google search for your website is also a good idea to increase some more revenue and placing Google search unit at the best visible place on your website would be much better idea.

Another few places where you can place advertisement for better CTR:

Though I will suggest place advertisement smartly without hampering your reader view and instead of keeping empty space on your website it’s better to fill it with advertisement.

In my experience with Adsense, placing them right before the title is performing well.

That’s true.. but here at Shoutmeloud I prefer putting up Direct advertisement , which pays better :)
Else putting up 350 rectangle box on sidebar above the fold has great CTR.

I have added adsense to my blog for the past six months and my account balance is at about $10, is this normal or what ?

Edos is depends on your traffic and CTR and also niche. 10$ in six month is less IMO. I believe you should play with your adsense placement.

Good article about how to set up adsense ads on your page to be most effective. It should also be noted that you need to find a balance between the amount of ads and good content.

I found the problem now. For some reason AdBlock Plus thinks the whole content-box is advertising and hides it. Maybe you could have a look at it?

I’ve noticed that regardless of where my ads are placed I get the most clicks when I have an active adwords campaign in place. I guess certain types of people click ads more so than others.
On a different note, I read your adsense search post. Please tell me how are you able to have the search button below the text box? I did not encounter that option during the set up, and it apears to have the button only to the right of the text box.

unfortunately adwords campaigns on pages where you have adsense ads is not allowed, that can risk both your adsense and adwords accounts because its breaking both’s tos…

nice tips, from personal experience, the bigger rectangles just under the title with content on all sides works the best :)

I’ve always had a hard time deciding where to put adsense blocks. Right now I have blocks on both of my sidebars, but they aren’t really super effective.

It really seems like the hottest spot is at the top of the post which can be annoying. I’ve noticed on DBT he doesn’t have an ad block on his newer posts, but older posts have an adblock at the top of the page. Do you know what plugin you can use to do that?
