As I have described in my previous posts that Google Adsense is the best program for new blogs and the set up is very simple. You do not need to deal with the advertisers directly buy Google adsense serves ads to your blog your website. Google has two programs which connects advertisers to publishers. Google Adwords is a program for advertisers and Google Adsense is a program for publishers or webmasters. Advertisers buy ads and pay for it and Google servers these ads to publishers through Google Adsense.
Most of the publishers find that the revenue generated from Google adsense is not even enough to pay their hosting charges, but there are many website owners / pubishsers who earn good from this program
Traffic is the most important factor that effects your Google Adsense revenue. If you do not have much traffic, the do no expect much revenue. You get paid only for the clicks that are generated from the ads placed using the Google Adsense code. If you do no have good number of visitors then there will be less clicks and the revenue will be very low. You can even earn from Adsense using others traffic using adsense revenue sharing portals. I have given some tips to increase your increase your traffic in my earlier posts.
Ad placement is very important for increase your Google Adsense revenue. You have the flexibility to place the Google adsense ads at places where you want to keep. You should place the ads in way that they are visible to your visitors. The biggest advantage of Google Adsense is that it shows ads relevant to the content of the page.
You can place different kinds of ads like text ads, image ads, linked units with different sizes. You also have the flexibility to style your ads. You should create the ads which look natural with the content. You need to blend the ads into your pages so that the visitors do not feel that they are going to click on any ads
Before even thinking of placing ads on your blog, you should have good content which should make your blog attractive to the visitors. Do not make people think that your blog is just a MFA site.
If you have used Google adwords, you should be knowing how much does a keyword bid goes. If you have content which has topic / content which has keywords with high value, then the payment for such clicks are very high. If you have checked the reports of your Google Adsense earnings, you may find that the pay rate for every click is different. I am using Google adsense in different websites and every website has different content. Some websites fetch me more than US$ 1.00 per click and some clicks, just less than US$ 0.02. There are many websites giving information about highly paid keywords which you can find by Googling. I do not want to go in details of that as its against the Google Terms and conditions
There is option to get different sizes of ads. I have found ads with size 300 x 250 gives good click through rate again that depends on the layout of your blog. You should select the right Ad size for your blog and go through the Adsense revenue sharing reports ad decide the best and try different ad sizes.
These are few tips that should boost your Google Adsense revenue. I would like to remind you that you should always work according to the terms and conditions of Google adsense and never try to get more earnings by clicking on your own ads or ask anybody to click on the ads or you will get your Google adsense account banned. You can even earn from Google Adsense using Revver if you have Video posts and Google Adsense revenue sharing portals are other way to maximize your google adsense income.
Google Adsense is a revenue tool for webmasters and bloggers who get paid for the clicks generated. Some clicks bring you 0.01 cents and some more than a 1$. You should have noticed that earning for Google Adsense is very less and it takes long time to get your first check. As I mentioned in my previous post, I got my first check after 6 months. If you try something against the guidelines, then your Google Adsense account is surely banned. Most of the Adsense users do not even get paid for even compensating the hosting charges, so how can you get some earning from Google Adsense.
You need traffic, which is very difficult when you start a blog. You need to do miracles to get traffic instantly when you launch your website, or you need to depend of programs like Google Adwords, which will prove costly and be sure you will not get even half the money you invest for your campaign. Never depend on the earnings from Google Adsense for your new blog or website.
Use some others website, who has traffic. Insert your Google Adsense code to a website which is old and has good traffic. Yes, I am not kidding, you can do that. I am not telling you to hack other website and get your Adsense code in. There are many Adsense Revenue Sharing Sites where you can add your Adsense ID and get earnings as per the Google Adsense Guidelines and its acceptable and its working well.
Just adding your Google Adsense ID will not get you earnings, you need to go through the working procedure of the particular program and work accordingly. Some websites like IndianPad, Pollo, Indian citizens, need to add pages and you get your Adsense code to work when your page is viewed. Sites will good traffic will have more page view and you can surely earn from that.
In this post, I would like to highlight about Indian Citizen’s website, where you can join for free and add pages related to Indian Citizens and get the revenue share. This site has good traffic and the site is heavily promoted.
Some websites with user contribution do revenue sharing and Google Adsense revenue sharing is becoming popular these days. In the Revenue sharing model, the users are paid a share from the revenue generated. This gives an encouragement for the users to spend more time on your site. Usually the revenue sharing is 50% by most of the sites. The best advertising program used for this is Google Adsense as there is no worry of making and receiving payments for both the members and the site owner. Google do allow this and we can find many popular sites doing this for long time.
Digital Point Forum - You get 50% of the ad revenue at digital point forum, but you need to post at least 50 threads to qualify to join this program.
Indian Citizens - Portal for Indian Citizens, Your ads will be displayed 50/100 times when the page is loaded. There is no qualifying limits. If you are able to write a page everyday, then you can earn considerably. Get started with Adsense revenue sharing at Indian Citizens
Eref - Refer a Webpage - Again its 50% revenue sharing from Adsense Ads
Poll-O - Revenue sharing and reward program. This is a great earning portal, join for free
IndianPad - A site, mostly dominated by Indians with Adpad
There are lots of sites which are sharing their revenue with the members who work for the portal. This is an incentive to the members as many sites are users driven
UPDATE
Free Articles Directory - is an articles directory which allows 50% revenue sharing (50% times your Adsense ID will be shown up)
Few months back, I wanted to introduced a revenue sharing model for one of my bookmarking sites. I did some googling on this and confirmed that Google do allow this, even though they have not made it clear that its not allowed. The webmaster do not have the risk of click fraud if any member tries to do it. If any member tries to work against the guidelines, then the account of the member is terminated and not the site owner’s.
There are many popular plugins and extensions available for popular content management systems like Wordpress , Drupal , Joomla which manages the revenue sharing task taking care of the Google Adsense Terms of service. The most important point to be noted is that one page should not show ads from two different account. For example in the header part if you display an ad which belongs to the site and the sidebar ad belongs to a member, then its violation of Google Terms and conditions and you have good chance to get your account banned. I have listed some popular sites where you can sign-up as a member and earn from Google Adsense.
There are lots of sites which work on the Google Adsense Revenue sharing model. You can earn from Google Adsense without even having a website.
