I have argued the case for our equation for increasing Adsense Revenue
Adsense Revenue = Traffic Levels + High Paying Ads + Relevant Ads + Optimally Positioned and Designed Ads
I now will turn my attention to each of the four elements of good Adsense revenue in turn and give some practical easy to implement tips to improve each from my experience.
Increasing Traffic Levels is a key component to increasing Adsense revenue. As I wrote previously, ‘The more people that see you Adsense Ads, the more likelihood there is that someone will click on them.’
Increasing the readership of your blog is not as simple as it sounds, it takes time, patience and hard work (and sometimes a bit of luck) Having said that there are many things you can do to get your blog in front of a wider audience and there exposing the adsense messages on your site to more potential ‘clickers’. Here are a few […]

There are many factors that impact the level of revenue generated from a blog using the Google Adsense program. Books have been written explaining expert strategies for Adsense - However for the purposes of this series we’ve boiled it all down into four elements that we believe impact your Adsense earning capacity the most. Speaking in general terms here is a simple equation that illustrates how the factors each contribute to Adsense Revenue.
Adsense Revenue = Traffic Levels + High Paying Ads + Relevant Ads + Optimally Positioned and Designed Ads
Its not Rocket Science. Each of the above four elements contribute directly to the total revenue that your Adsense Ads will produce. Don’t just work on one of them though because if any one is weak it will hold your potential earnings back. Lets break each factor down….
Traffic Levels - The more people that see you Adsense Ads, the more likelihood there is that someone will […]

Is your blog suitable for Adsense? - Before you rush into signing up for Adsense expecting it to earn you a million dollars it is worth asking the question of whether Adsense is the right revenue strategy for your blog. By no means is it the only option - you might like to check out this tip on other ways of making money from blogging.
Whilst there are some amazing success stories about earning big dollars with Adsense out there, it is worth taking a realistic look at some cold hard truths about the Adsense program.
Google does not accept every site that applies to the Adsense program.
* Google Adsense Program Policies indicate that the content of sites must not contain things like excessive profanity, pornography, illicit drugs etc. Basically your blog needs to have content that is reasonably ‘family friendly’.
* Also in their policy document is a reference […]

(Here is a very good article written by Darren Rowse.It’s valued to commend every one.)
How do you make money from the Google Adsense Program? What AdSense Tips can you share with us?
I have been asked this question so many times in the past few weeks that I thought I should write something on the topic. It seems increasingly bloggers want to try to cover their hosting and ISP costs with some revenue from their blog - and increasingly they’re doing it and are able to make a few (or quite a lot) dollars on the side. Many are turning to Google’s Adsense program.

Covering costs of my Digital Photography Blog is why I originally signed up with Google Adsense - blogging can get expensive when you have high levels of traffic and a lot of pages.
Whilst the agreement you sign with Google stresses that you are not allowed to give specific information about your earnings from […]

 How Misleading are Alexa’s Rankings?
Alexa’s traffic stats are all the rage especially among the social network crowd or perhaps I should say only with the social crowd. As a niche marketer I have known for a long time that Alexa stats are not worth looking at as they can only tell you how many Alexa toolbar users dropped in - not how many actual visitors you received. The vast majority of people online do not use the Alexa toolbar and hence don’t get counted.
I have one niche site that gets over a thousand unique visits a day and it ranks over 2 million on Alexa. It is not a Internet Marketing related site or a tech site. IM’ers and techies tend to be the biggest users of the toolbar and social networkng sites. If you don’t draw them to your site you will not have a very good Alexa ranking in spite of having a […]

In starting this endeavour, I started wondering about what the top blogs in this field were. I mean sure, there were lists out there giving ratings for which blogs were the absolute best in the “Make Money Blogging” Industry. These lists were compiled by the authors from various sources, but almost all of them did not use empirical data beyond the first 10 results. Those first 10 results contained data in terms of Technorati authority. I mean sure, a lot of bloggers out there think that Technorati is the only yardstick that they need to measure things by, but not me. I needed something more substantial to justify who was the best.
While it is surely easy to name the top few blogs in the “Make Money Blogging” (think Problogger), I think most people would start to really stretch their minds if they were asked to list more than 10 such blogs. Smaller blogs, on the […]

When bloggers think of online advertising, the words Google AdSense immediately pops to mind. Google had done an amazing job capturing the internet advertising market with the AdSense product. However, Google is not the only game in town. As a webmaster, it is your duty to seek out other ways to monetize your site. As we all know, putting all your eggs in one basket isn’t the smartest thing to do. Yet I have come across countless blogs with no other means of monetization other than AdSense. Even my own blog was running just Google until a few days ago.

I was discussing this problem with Bradford Liedel of ModemHelp.net and he came up with an interesting idea – why not make a list of all the online advertising opportunities that are available for blog and site owners? This list will be part of a new webmaster resource site that […]

Social networking sites with huge audiences, like My Space and Diggs, have taken the World Wide Web by storm. Incidentally, it is not too difficult to figure out why. The internet is a natural when it comes to social networking and building relationships.
It’s no wonder that so many people are flocking to these sites in colossal numbers. Registering for these sites is usually free and will enable you to make posts in an attempt to interest other members at the site.
Traditionally some webmasters have used promotional articles that promote the giving away of a valuable special report via email. This has often proved to be a fairly effective way of building an opt-in email list. All those who sign up to receive the free special report, are automatically included in the opt-in email list to receive regular relevant emails or an email newsletter.
The problem with this method, as effective as it is, is the fact […]
