Adsense Pages

When the Internet started entrepreneurs realized that it could be used to generate a healthy income stream. This was done by taking products that other people had created and selling that product and then splitting the profits with the products creator. This became known as affiliate marketing. You can make a sizeable income as an affiliate marketer. However there is now another way to make money online and that is Adsense. Adsense is a program that was created by Google and is the twin to Adwords.

The way Adsense works is that you first create a website. Preferably a website with excellent content. Once that is done you create an Adsense account. Google will provide you with a unique publisher ID. If you have a number of sites then you will use this same ID for each one. Now you request to have an ad generated by Google for you. You will be able to choose the ads size, color etc. I'll go more into that later. Google will provide you html code to be placed in your website so that the ads will appear where you want them. As long as you have set your webpage up properly the ads will also be targeted to your content.

When you are requesting ads you want to do a little planning so you can make the most use of them. If you wanted you could request a few ad types and then use them over and over again. This simplifies the process of getting ads but will make it so you can't track your site visitors and which ads on which pages are doing the best. Without this information you won't be able to optimize your site and you will end up leaving money on the table.

What you want to do is create ad channels. Use different ad channels for each website. This greatly simplifies the process of knowing which websites are generating clicks and which webpages and ad units in those webpages are responsible for the clicks. With this data you can go about optimizing your websites to get the most possible clicks and money.

Now that you have your website and Adsense account it is time to request the ad units. You will be able to customize the color of the ad. Studies have found that ads that have the same background as your webpage do the best. Also the font of the ad should closely match the font of the webpage. The best ad placement is on the top and left of your page. Also the larger types of ad units do the best. When placing ads make sure not take away from the content. The better the content the higher page rank you will achieve. This will lead to higher quality advertisers on your site and ultimately more money.

Here are the steps you want to follow:

1. Create a website with good content. If you are just starting out then it is easier to write about something you know. One topic per site. This site will consist of the following:
   1. Main page
   2. Five pages of content. Preferably about different aspects of your topic. Each article should be 200 to 600 words long.
   3. Contact Us page
   4. Site Map
2. Make sure you have good Keyword Density. This will ensure you get the correct types of advertisers. This means for each page you want to write about one of your keywords. Use the keyword often in the article. Don't overdue it but use it often.
3. Add one article to your website a week.
4. Use one of the following formats for your ads:
   1. 336x280 large rectangle
   2. 300x250 medium rectangle
   3. 160x600 wide skyscraper
5. You can add up to three adsense units per page. It is recommended to not do more than two. Studies have been done that show the amount you will get per click will go down if you have more than two adsense units.
