What is your best Adsense tip?

[Vahid]

Hi,

I am always asked "what is your best Adsense tip?". Here is my five best and most important Adsense tips:

- Less internal and external links on the page
- Having the ads with the same background color as the page background
- Having ad links color blue (the default color of hyperlinks in html)
- Having one leaderboard 728 x 90 text ad at the top and one at the bottom of the page
- Having one 300x250 text ad at the middle of the page somewhere among texts
- Well optimized pages with a good title, description, h1 headline and ... .

Can you add more tips?

another one to preserve your account is to "follow the guidelines"

no.

Most of them time i have seen webmasters, in their quest for adsense $$$, break the guidelines and not bother to keep upto date with them.

I don't like to do that.

Yes, talking about Adsense has direct relation to $$$ but I don't see anything wrong with this.

We have websites and promote them for money and these forums are good to help each other to learn more and so earn more.

There is nothing wrong with making money through legitimate ways.

generally you want the people that click adsense to leave your page. put it in the golden triangle , its the top left of the article, if you can I'd put it as top and as left as possible. Studies show that the golden triangle is approximately 300 pixels across the top of the screen and 300 pixels down the left. if you can put it in there then you'll get the best CTR.

If your website format let you do that, it works perfect.

Less add blocks on a page means bigger payout per click as only the highest paying advertisers will be listed.

You know what that makes complete $ense. With the decline of Adsense revenue though it becomes even more of a numbers game. I have a few sites targeting the same niche. I'm going to test that out.

Works well for me. I tend to get clicks that are upwards of $1 - $2 and the majority of my pages have one ad block, usually a large or medium rectangle and above the fold.
