So what do you think is the difference between the two?

What makes them stand apart from the rest of the lot?

The answer to these questions is that we have to think out of the box to stand out from the rest in this competative world.


Here are some of the few best ways that you can try to improve your adsense earnings from your website or from your blogs. I believe those who were successful in their earnings would have used the same tricks to earn from google adsense.


Try to have a single best format for your ad

Always try to have a single best format for your ad to be added in your website. The one that has been frequently used by many and has been quiet successful is the Large Rectangle (336X280). It is quite amazing to see that this format had fetched higher click-through rates (CTR) when compared to the other formats.

Why everyone choose this format from the rest?

Is there any advantage that this format has over the other ones?

The answer is yes.

When you look at the format of this ad it almost looks like a web link. So many people will think it as a web link and eventually click it as they usually have the tendency to click these types of links. This may be a case of unknowingly clicking adsense, but this is your chance and why not to take advantage of it?


Try to create a good custom palette for your ads

Always choose a color that will look good and merge with the background of your website. Say, if your website has black as the background color then try to use the same color for your ad background and also for its border. The main theme is to make your adsense look like as if it is a part of your webpage and not a separate one. This will surely help you to gain more clicks from the people who visit your website or blogs.


Try to use Adsense at the top of your website


If you are using adsense at the bottom of the website then it is time to have a rethink. Always use your adsense at the top of your website. You should always try to put your adsense where people can see easily and that surely is at the top of the website. This will quite significantly attract more clicks than having one at the bottom of the website. When we have adsense at the bottom of the website the chances are that they may not be viewed by all. This will ultimately result in a situation where your ads are not clicked and no earnings. Try to add your adsense at the top of your website and you will see the difference in your earnings.


Try to have proper links to the relevant websites

Care should be taken that you always use your website link to the one that you think has relevance to your site and can earn you money. If you don’t choose a proper website then you will surely not earn money from your adsense. If you feel that the website using your link is not better off, then you should always try to look out for the best and have your website link placed there. If the other website is already having lots of adsense, then always try to put yours on to the top of them. This will help the visitor to have the view of your ad first when they browse that website.


Try to use SSI for automatic insertion of adsense code into webpages

This is one of the best ways to manage your adsense in your website. For doing this you have to save your adsene code as a text file and upload it to the root directory of the webserver. Using SSI call the codes on all the other webpages. This will surely save you lots of time. This is very useful for those who use automatic page generators to generate webpages in their website. Make sure your server supports SSI before going through this process.

These are some of the ways that had worked for many to earn from their websites. Always try to focus on a specific topic and stick to it in its content. This will make your content have the relevant adsense which in-turn enables more clicks. It is always good to know that ads are displayed because it fulfills the need of the people viewing them. Your prime focus should be on a specific topic as the ads displayed will be targeted on the topic.

Remember, every click-through that a visitor hits is earning you money. Try to make every click count by making your adsense in a way that people will be definitely clicking on it.

There is no reason why you can’t earn money by following these methods.

If others can why you can’t?

Blog your way to profit

Blogging can be a good activity and it can also be profitable one if it is done seriously. Blogging for profit requires a different strategy when compared to blogging for fun. If you are blogging for profit or plan to set up a blog then you have to follow the three essential steps. This can help you to succeed in getting profit from your blog.


1. Set Up Your Own Blog Site

If you are very much interested in blogging for profit then you must create your own blog site. You should not rely on a free blog from free blogging sites.
The major reasons you need to create your own site are:

(a) It helps to project a more professional and serious image of what you are blogging.

(b) You can also add lot more useful and essential plugins in order to give functionality and efficiency to your site.

(c) Lastly, you will have full control and ownership over the work that is done.
Choose a specific subject to blog, preferably one that you are passionate about. Then only you will have the energy, enthusiasm and knowledge to blog regularly and consistently.

Blogging for profit also includes that you have to add advertisements like Google AdSense or ClickBank to your site. You should also promote some great and related products through your blog postings from time to time.


2. Blog Regularly

You should blog regularly. Blogging is fun and is often addictive in nature. Once you get the feel of it, you would want to do it as often as possible.
The key to a profitable blog is the consistency that you show in your posting. You should blog daily. Make a schedule of 1 to 2 hours daily to post contents in your blog. Post sensibly and also make sure that your postings contain information that is useful and informative to readers.

You should not post blogs simply for the sake of posting. It is not necessary to have a long post to be considered as an effective blog. It is only the content that is important and not the length of the blog. In some cases one or two paragraph postings can be more beneficial and welcomed than a single long post. The readers are very much concerned with the content of the blog rather than the length of the blog.


3. Publicize Your Blog

Profitable blogging consists of two important factors which have to be kept in mind.

1. The first one is the quality of your blog that you produce in written format.

2. The second is how extensively and effectively you can reach out to the people around you.

Once your blog site is up and running, try to promote it to your friends and colleagues. There are people who feel shy to promote their blogs to friends. Try to promote as much as possible to get traffic to your blog. Publicizing and marketing your blog site is an essential part to blogging profitably. You can also include your blog site URL in your name cards and hand them out to your friends, relatives and colleges. You can also distribute it to strangers and people you are meeting for the first time as there is no harm in that.

If you are knowledgeable and passionate enough in your subject matter, then you can see that they will be willing to have a look at your blog and also share their ideas. You also need to expose your blog site to as many people as possible through online. There are various methods to do that. Some of them are advertising, using social networks, newsletters sign ups and RSS. There are many plugins available in your blog which helps to link your postings from your site to other social networking sites like Facebook and Orkut.

Try to follow these three steps correctly. Blog regularly and be informative enough on the contents that you blog. If you can do that I am sure that you can start making money in six months.
