Top Money Making Programs

I have been earning online for the past few years. I have joined many programs, but only some gave me considerable earnings. Before you join any new affiliate program, you need to go through the earning potential of the program which depends on your blog visitors too. Program like Google Adsense do not work well for me on  this blog, but it works the best for some of my other blogs. I always track my earnings using Google Adsense Channels feature and Google Analytics to analyze my earnings as I have only one Google Adsense Account. I use Google Ad Manager for serving ads on my blogs and it has excellent features to track the ads.

Google Adsense – This is the top earning programs for me still. Even though top bloggers like Darren, John Chow don’t use Google Adsense. Google Adsense will not work for blogs with visitors who use Google Adsense, that’s what my experience says. Amit of Digital Inspiration uses Google Adsense and he earns a very high figure from this program because he has very high page views and most of his visitors are coming to his blog from search engines and are looking for technology related information and not bloggers like us. I had written a post related to Google Adsense Revenue, you can check it.

Google Adsense Revenue Generation trends

I have been using Google Adsense for my different blogs, but the revenue is different, the CTR is different for every blog, Reasons Explained

What is a good CTR for Google Adsense?

I have been using Google Adsense for some time now and I find my CTR has improved these days. I have no much gain in traffic but the income from Google Adsense has gone up which means that the CTR or the click through rate of my Google Adsense has improved very much. I was googling around to find out what is a  good CTR for Google Adsense. Mine is around 5% and earlier it was just less than 1%.

I found a post at Darren’s Blog which says for blogs its around 2 to 5% which keeps me happy that my ads are well blended and placed well. I was just doing some calculations about my Adsense revenue and found that I can earn handsome if I have good traffic. If I have a traffic of about 1million pageviews a day, I can earn about 2,000 $ a day, which is a good revenue for a blog. I know that I cannot do this for 1 year atleast, but I find my traffic growing good and surely I can get to that spot.

All I need is to create good content and increase the number of posts on my blog.

If you do not use Google Adsense, just try it, its the best source of ads and revenue for your blog. Google adsense inventory never run outs of ads for any of your blog pages and it shows relevant ads which increases the CTR and finally your revenue from the ads.

Ad Review Feature in your Google Adsense

Google adsense has a new feature called the Ad Review Centre, where you can block or allow Placement targeted Ads. To access this feature, login to your Google adsense account and go to Adsense Set up Tab and then to the Ad Review Centre and enable this feature. When an advertiser goes for Placement targeted campaign then these ads will be shown on your web page and you can block these ads.

Its not advised to block these ads as it has negative impact on your earnings. If you block these ads then you need to provide the reason for that and this feedback will be provided to the advertiser by Google.

Blocking ad groups may have a negative revenue impact because ads that are blocked won’t compete in the auction on your site, and therefore won’t drive up potential earnings for that ad space. Also, advertisers whose ads you block may choose not to target your site again in the future.

In addition, waiting to review ads by choosing the “manually review” setting may decrease your revenue. This is because ads that are awaiting review won’t participate in the auction either. Please consider the potential revenue impact before choosing manual review instead of auto-allow.
