Earn with Adsense

AdSense

Most bloggers experiment with Google AdSense

sooner or later, but very few manage to make

substantial money with it. The reason is simple: CPC

ads do not work on every website.

You need to meet two basic requirements

if you

want to make good money with AdSense:

1. Your blog needs to have high traffic (e.g.,

1,000 daily unique visits or more)

2. A good percentage of that traffic must come

from search engines (e.g., 70% or more)

Getting traffic from search engines is essential

because those visitors are the ones who most often

click on ads.

If you meet these two requirements, it will be just a

matter of choosing the right AdSense units and

positioning them effectively.

According to Google itself the most profitable ad

units are the 336x280 large rectangle, the 300x250

rectangle and the 160x600 large skyscraper.

As for positioning, you must be willing to hurt the

user experience a bit if you want to have a good

CTR (click-through rate). This is so because ads

blended with the content perform much better than

ads isolated in the sidebar.

The best combination is usually the 336x280 unit on

top of your posts, right below the headline.

If you want something less intrusive, try placing it

between the post and the comment section, or try

using a 160x600 unit on the sidebar.
