When using AdSense, the CTR and earnings can be much higher if you make a
couple small changes. The key is to test different things to see what is most
effective for your site design and setup.
Some sites place the ads in such a way that it hurts their ability to gain links. If you
are actively trying to promote a site and build an audience, make sure the ads are
not so prominent that they end up causing people to question the purpose or
usefulness of your site. For example, it may make sense to show no ads on your
home page to make the site seem more legitimate.
Many blog posts are generally short, targeted, and quick to make. Many blog
networks are used as AdSense keyword nets. Reporting topical news can build a
large number of pages quickly. Weblogs, Inc. is one of the more well-known blog
networks that aggressively integrates AdSense ads.
Google also offers AdLinks, which is another ad format that has helped some
publishers. A new contextual ad program by the name of Chitika has been gaining
praise from a number of bloggers although some have been absolutely frustrated
by their ad auditing.
An Example of Aggressive Google AdSense Integration
Please note the the below integration is rather aggressive, moreso than you would
probably do if you were running a longterm business. Google may eventually look
at artificially high AdSense clickthrough rates and flag the associated websites for
review and/ or demotion.
At one point in time you could put images right next to ads to entice clicks, but
after too many people started abusing it Google changed their policy to disallow
that.
