One doesn't have to dig very deep on the Internet to find an adsense site. At its most basic level, an adsense site is a site which displays Google Adsense ads to earn money. The problem is that the majority of Adsense sites are trash – just content scraped off other sites that has been thrown together into a mish-mash that the webmaster calls a website.
If you want to be highly successful in the Adsense site industry, you're going to have to do something drastically different. Following are several tips you can use to distinguish yourself from the crowd.
1 – Use a professional design
Many adsense sites use a very basic, cheap looking template that they paste their content into. If you use a professional website design, people are more likely to place value and trust in your site.
2 – Use unique content
Don't use recycled content. Take the time or money required to get your own unique articles and content written for your site. This will allow you to offer your readers content that they cannot get anywhere else, as well as give you better rankings in the search engines.
3 – Create a valuable resource
The purpose of an Adsense site should not be just to get a visitor to come and click on the ads. It should be to get a visitor to come, and because the like you site so much, keep coming back again and again. That is how you can have a highly successful site – returning visitors.
4 – Use other monetization methods
Adsense should not be your only source of income from a site. Sell a product, promote affiliate programs, sell banner ads, or sell text link ads on your site. This serves to diversify your income, as well as gives other content for your visitors to look at or click on.
With the growth of blogs and RSS feeds you’re starting to see adsense included in the feeds now. IMHO this doesn’t work, and here’s why:
- You only get to place one ad unit.
- You have no control over finding the ’good spot’ for the ad unit.
- The ads are usually poorly targeted (this is getting better).
- People develop ‘adv. blindness’.
I know people like being able to read full postings in their feed reader, and there are at least a dozen other reasons for full posts from pleasing your users to mobile offline computing, all of which are completely valid. However if your website depends on generating adsense revenue to survive, then bring them to the site and show them the ads there.
- On Page Optimization:• After making a thorough research on the keywords, use the keywords in the metatags, titles and contents of your webpages.• Try using about 2 keywords in the contents of a single webpage.
- Off Page Optimization: • You need to have a high page rank to be placed at a top position in a search engine. Linking to a website having a high page rank will serve this purpose.• To convince a website of high page rank is the job that requires all your efforts as websites with a high page rank do not always link to websites having lower page rank than theirs.• So you need to convince them to that extent to trade links or else you can always opt for the easy way to get a high page rank by paying the websites of higher page rank to link to your website. Of course paying to link with high page rank websites is possible only with websites who offer such a feature.• Another simpler option is buying expired domains that already have a high page rank.
- Beat your competitor in search engine ranking: Don’t try to beat the search engine. Try to beat your competitor website and try to do at least one thing better than them and continue this till you see some visible changes in the search engine ranks.
- Popular search terms are better than keywords: Using the most popular and highly sorted out search term is better than using popular keywords.
- More the number of pages of your website, the better is your page rank.• Less number of pages with a high density of keywords won’t attract the search engines as much as more number of pages in a website with limited keywords.• Eg: Wikipedia has millions of pages and so for almost any search term you find it in the top 10 search results. This wasn’t achieved in a day, the pages were added little by little and finally their count grew to millions.• Rather than cramping everything in a single webpage, distribute it among different webpages.• A single webpage could have 400-800 words per page.
- To increase your webpages, you could start writing articles on a regular basis. For this you can write it yourself or heir a Ghostwriter who may charge you around $5 per article or borrow it from an article website and publish it on your website keeping the author’s resource box intact.
- Your website should have a newsletter feature. • Subscribers of your newsletter will judge you by the quality of the content that you send them.• So sit down to write some quality content for your newsletter.• Even if you have 5-10 people who have signed up for your newsletter, you can get 80% of the sales from them.
- On subscribing for your newsletter, provide the subscribers with some bonuses to entice them to visit your website again and again.
- Give away reports on topics related to your website contents to your newsletter subscribers using autoresponders.
- Submit your articles to E-zines, article directories etc., as these websites have huge traffic and your article thus can experience great exposure and the links back to your website can get huge website traffic too. These links placed here, are of great value to your website and thus placing your article in such websites gets traffic and backlink benefits.
- Other than submitting articles in E-zines and article directories also try submitting your article to various websites that have contests similar to your article. This article should have links back to your website, so that the traffic experienced by their website could be redirected to yours too in exchange of the articles. The articles written for your website, as well as submitted to different websites should follow certain strategies like:• Find search terms that are searched at least 100 times per day but not more than 1 million times per day.• Use these keywords throughout your article with a density of 3-7% per article. You could also use these keywords in the title of your article.• Spend some time thinking of an attractive title for your article.• Your article should have a good opening paragraph, so that people would go through your entire article with interest.
- Make use of article announcement list which is quite similar to article directory where most of the visitors are generally webmasters in search of a quality article to be published on their website.
- Submit your website in popular directories for increased traffic and backlinks. Submit your website only when it is fully functional to avoid rejection by the directories.
- Join webmaster’s forum and try becoming a problem solver over there.• Advice the forum members to find a solution to their problems.• Ask for their opinions and comments for any of your works.• If you have a blog of your own, then tell them about it and you could also mention about various posts that would help them find a solution to their problems and from the blog direct them to your website.• If you direct them directly to your website they will feel as if you are there just to get traffic for your website ad not really there to advice them for solutions.
- Beware of certain websites that provides codes, which you may be asked to place on your website to get 1000 of links to your website in minutes, but after this you website will certainly get removed from the search engines results. So beware and avoid risks.
- Classifieds submission to get traffic for your website was once considered a very profitable deal but now due to its overcrowding, it is not so popular to attract traffic, although you do have chances of getting traffic from classified websites too. As its submission is for free might as well give it a try. Always use keywords to write your classified ads.
- If you are a part of an affiliate network where the websites would like to refer their visitors to each other’s websites, then share posts, articles, newsletters with your website links placed on it, with such websites. You affiliates could use them for their own newsletters and finally, you are trying to help them send visitors to your website.
- Set up your own blog at blogger.com or wordpress.com to display your website’s articles. Here your content gets maximum reviews and could thus help you improve your website content, making use of these reviews.
- Once you blog becomes quite popular, submit your blog’s RSS to RSS directory to get more traffic.• For Bloggers.com, it is “Yourdomain.blogspot.com/atom.xml”• For wordpress.com, it is “yourdomain.com/feed/”
- Write press releases. • Press releases are the notifications that you send to media about noticeable and newsworthy information to get media attention and advertising for free.• As press releases you can send your website poll information, latest survey information with special reports and mention that this was solely carried out by your website.• Before writing your press release, go through some of the sample press releases already available on the website, so that you come to know about the format in which a press release has to be presented.• Avoid presenting it as some advertising copy.
- Newspaper press releases: When you write a press release, you can also mail the press release to the editor of a newspaper column where you want your press release to appear. The same could be done to printed magazines too.
- The content of a single webpage should not exceed more than 400-800 words as search engines would not like to go through each and every word of your webpage. Distribute your contents over different webpages if the content is too long to be displayed in a single webpage, this will allow you to target more keywords.
- If you want your visitors to click a particular link in your website, you could use the terms like “ Not many people know about this link.
What if I get denied when I sign-up and Google says I got banned before, yet I've never used AdSense?
Content! Content! Content! And read the TOS. For example, if the site is about firearms, xxx, gambling, or warez, even if it's just for example firearms reviews, that might set off the deny button. In short.
1. Site under construction. 2. Not enough pages. 3. Not enough traffic. 4. Site that doesn't comply with policy. Don't give up. Many people have had to sign up a few times before getting accepted. And try to get a good PR!

I recommend reading the 'Implementation and Operation of Ads and Search Results' section of the AdSense ToS (http://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms). We ask that you do not pre-populate search results. Search queries should be generated naturally by your users. In fact, a new AdSense for search feature allows you to see the top 25 queries generated by your AdSense for search box, which is a feature many publishers requested to help with site optimization. Also, as per the AdSense program policies (http://www.google.com/adsense/policies).... We do not permit Google ads or search boxes accessing Google search services to be published on web pages that also contain what could be considered competing ads or services...If you have elected to receive Google search services, this would include other search services on the same site and non-Google query-targeted ads. We do allow affiliate or limited-text links.
Some times I get a message that says 'Page could not be found' with a 404 error, where the link units should be. What do I do?
Make sure you alternative ad URL is working, and from AdSenseAdvisor.....
I recommend contacting adsense-support@google.com. They should be able to tell you what's happening.

According to AdSense program policies (http://www.google.com/adsense/policies): No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed on any domain parking websites, pop-ups, pop-unders, or in any email. From AdSenseAdvisor... The reason for this policy is that Google believes strongly in providing a positive experience for the user. We have found that pop-ups, pop-unders, etc. take away from the user experience.

Most people work backwards: they have a site and then think about monetizing it with AdSense and this is Google's preferred route.
However, a more rational approach would be as follows:
Find a series of related products or services that a multitude of companies advertise using AdWords and high value keywords.
Create a website that supplies a range of information about subjects commercially related to those products and services i.e. that people who buy these products or services are likely to seek out on the internet.
Submit the site to Google's AdSense program.
Promote the hell out of the site with ezines, viral marketing techniques (especially ebooks), AdWords, other pay per click systems, PR. In short, you name, you do it.
This process works because your site will then attract people who are likely to click on AdSense ads on your site, and these ads are likely to be linked to high value keywords and so your income per click will be highest.
They don't tell you their techniques - but you can be sure as hell that they are pretty clever about this. Think about their position. AdWords / AdSense is a major source of revenue for Google and growing fast. They don't want to kill this income stream off by turning advertisers off do they? No, so they will be working very hard on this one. If you are an AdSense participant, you'd be crazy to do it. Google even goes so far as to state that you can't test an ad on your site even once!
Yes there is. You need to get at least two clicks a month.
Absolutely. If you think of Google at least partly as a philanthropic organisation, then AdSense will help enthusiasts get some rewards for their labours. All that high quality content you post could help you get some money provided there is some commercial relevance to your sites content - and there usually is.
There are some rumours going around that becoming an AdSense participant can help your site in the ranking but nothing definite has been proved yet.
You can find a relative value by visiting FindWhat.com. This is a useful tool if you want to plan which keywords to slant your site content towards (although FindWhat doesn't have anything like the market penetration of Google and so may not report useful data on obscure keywords and its price won't be the same as Google's.)
The easiest way for AdWords advertisers is to use their AdWords control panel to enter keywords into the keyword selection tool with a trial price and see what ad position Google reports back on the estimate page. An alternative route is to enter the keyword (or phrase) into Google and see how many AdWords ads show up. If there are fewer than 8, the bottom one costs 5c although the price paid for higher positions may be well in excess of this. Google states that the highest price for a keyword is set at $50!
No. There are three hurdles that have to be gotten over. First, the advertiser has to agree to content targeted ads when he sets up his AdWords campaign. Secondly, the Google editorial team must find the ad acceptable for inclusion in AdSense. Thirdly, the ad mustn't be from a site specifically disallowed by the AdSense participant.
On this third point, AdSense participants can prohibit ads from competitors whose website will almost certainly be similar in content to their own.
It's good and the reason is that it will encourage many smaller information rich sites to grow and provide even more valuable and interesting content for web users. In the past many really interesting sites have been posted by topic enthusiasts and the process has cost them money, particularly in the early days when domain names were expensive and so was hosting. Even now though, to post and host a decent website takes cash and it certainly takes time. So these enthusiasts were typing away with no reward save for a growing guest book and increasing site traffic (or not!). AdSense empowers many of these sites to make a bit of money and recover their costs or even make a profit. And there's a loose sort of equation too - more interesting and valuable content = more AdSense payouts.
Therefore whether you like the idea of making money from your site or of getting excellent informational resources online, AdSense is good.
Google has always wanted to make money - it is a business after all largely owned by Venture Capitalists. But Google's fundamental philosophy has been about helping people find the information they want on the web without cluttering up the process with a bazillion ads that flashed and blinked everywhere. So they started off developing AdWords on the basis that they were discrete, text-only and RELEVANT to the searcher. You rarely see AdWords ads that are of no relevance to you - partly because any vaguely smart advertiser won't want to waste time targeting unlikely customer bases, and more significantly, because web users can effectively vote off irrelevant ads: an AdWords ad that fails to get a decent click thru rate (0.5%) gets shoved into hibernation by Google.
AdWords thus enabled Google to make money whilst remaining largely faithful to their philosophy - ads were small and useful and relevant. So then they began to think about expanding the program to third party sites, sites that in many cases were already using Google as a search tool. It made sense to do this because it increased Google's revenues without detracting from the user experience. Initially Google worked with major partner sites and once this all worked fine, they broadened out the program to AdSense - to exploit the commercial opportunities created by their excellent search technology.
They won't say at the moment. People monitoring their own AdWords and AdSense statistics are trying to pin it down but it makes sense for Google to keep it quite generous because the web rumour mill would quickly start churning out bad karma if anyone seriously sensed the payments were miserly.
Any online syndicated ad service to a degree is a competitor but the closest we know of in function are Sprinks, a divison of PRIMEDIA and Content Match (Overture). However, on 24th October 2003 Google acquired Sprinks - they posted support information for Sprinks users.
A lot and a little and the terminology takes a bit of getting used to. (And what's the singular of AdWords too for that matter?!). AdWords is Google's proprietary advertising service that produces those prim text-only ads on the right hand side of its search results page. All revenues from AdWords ads that show on Google go to Google.
AdSense is Google's syndication program for its AdWords ads. Any AdWords ads that are syndicated out to third party website do so via Google's AdSense program. Ads seen via the AdSense program are AdWords ads posted on third party sites.
So AdWords are the ads. AdSense is the syndication program.
No. Google lays down some fairly specific policies that must be adhered to before a site can be accepted on the AdSense program and then there are other less clearly defined criteria that must be satisfied. You also need to generate a wonderfully under-whelming 2 clicks per month from your site
Google’s marketing program which allows website owners to generate income from displaying relevant Google ads on their websites. AdSense matches the content of the website to ads within their AdWords program and displays the relevant ads on the website. ...
