We’ve tested a number of AdSense products, and will be reviewing them in the course of our blogging. One of the first products we examine will be a series of videos by UK AdSense expert Michael Cheney. For the moment, here’s an interview with Michael in which he discusses his experience with AdSense.

Q. So what made you get started with AdSense?
A. I was looking for a way to monetize some of my websites. AdSense is such an easy thing to get started with the eye for it would be a great way to start earning more money without actually putting into much more effort. I think as soon as you see the first earnings coming into your account you get addicted to AdSense. I know it’s what happened to me, and since then I’ve just spent time working out how to earn more and more each day.

Q. How much do you make with AdSense?

A. Some days I can earn close to $1,000 and others it’s less than that. But it all comes down to how much time and effort you devote to creating a quality site that people like visiting. AdSense is not what my business is based on by any means – but it is a great way to earn revenue almost on autopilot.

Q. What is the biggest mistake people making with AdSense?

A. Probably the biggest mistake people make is thinking the AdSense earnings are easy to achieve. It is very easy to get started but as I learned it takes a lot of effort to increase your earnings. I got really downhearted whenever I would log in to my account to see that I had only made a few dollars. And that’s when I decided to spend months and months of my time learning everything I could about AdSense.

I basically buried myself away and devoured every single piece of AdSense information I could find. I ran thousands of AdSense tests and started to see a dramatic effect on my click through ratio and therefore on my earnings.

This is why I’d decided to record the videos – because I knew that it would help people who were in my position to also increase their earnings. I’ve read an absolute ton of AdSense e-book’s but they take so long to go through and always seem to keep information back.

With adsense video I knew that I had to tell the story exactly as it is and actually show people and lead them by the hand through the exact techniques that I use to generate large earnings from AdSense.

Q. In your videos you show people how to increase their AdSense earnings – can you give us a taster of this advice?

A. I don’t want to give away my biggest secrets as you can understand! But some of the more basic things that you can do to increase your revenues include using ads that blend in rather than stand out from your content. Flat out the worst thing you can do with an AdSense ad is make it look like the standard Google ad. What you need to realise is that you will get more clicks if your ad actually appears part of your site rather than something that’s just been dropped into the page.

Q. What would you recommend that someone do right now to increase their AdSense earnings?
A. I’ve created a totally free AdSense minicourse that people can go through to learn some of my techniques. It takes you through the four cornerstone principles that I’ve used to build up my AdSense empire. You can check it out, as well as all the AdSense

Some Google Adsense Tips and Tricks! »
Sensational Five Profitable Adsense Tricks

1. Find a topic you can create a two part article on. Write part one of your articles and place it on a page on your website. Place Google Adsense ads next to your article. Next you will want to create part two of your article and make sure to make reference to your first article in your second article. Take part two of your article and submit it to ezine publishers, and article directories.

Using this technique, part two of your article will drive traffic to part one of your article. In this way you will profit when someone clicks on your Google Adsense ads when visiting the web page that you have part one of your article on.

2. Create a site that is related to your market that has nothing on it but good quality content about a popular topic in your market. Make sure that you place Google Adsense ads on the site also. You’ll then offer ezine publishers and ad on one of the pages of your site if they’ll mention your site to their subscribers. Make sure they know they’ll benefit by other ezines publishers sending traffic to your site. Their subscribers will be exposed to those ads also. You’ll profit from the earnings you earn by people clicking on your Google Adsense ads.

This technique is profitable for everyone involved. I haven’t seen anyone using it so be a pioneer and watch this technique explode your Google Adsense income!

3. Find a profitable topic and create a 5-10 website about the topic. Make sure to place Google Adsense ads on your website along with the content. Next you will want to create a mini-ebook or report about the topic, and include affiliate links for products and services related to your topic. Take your mini-ebook or report and give it to website owners and ezine publishers who can reach your target market. Allow them to brand the affiliate links in your mini-ebook or report with their own affiliate links. Within your mini-ebook or report, you’ll want to make many references to the website you created for this topic that have your Google Adsense ads on it. Whoever passes this mini-ebook or report around will be driving traffic to your site, and you’ll profit from those that click on your Google Adsense ads.

This technique uses viral marketing which in my opinion is one of the most powerful marketing techniques around. You can get some added exposure by submitting your ebook to ebook directories. Do a search to find ebook directories.

4. Take a couple of articles that you have written, and upload them to your website. Make sure to place your Google Adsense code next to your article. Now take the URL of your articles and place the URL in your signature line in your email or forum signature line.

With this one easy technique, I’ve made up to $46 a day for spending a few minutes putting the URLs into my signature line.

5. Create a mini ecourse on a topic that you know about or do research on a popular topic and create a mini course for it. Take each day of your course and place it on it’s own website. Day one will have it’s own page. Day two will have it’s own page, and so on. Make sure you place Google Adsense ads on each of these pages also.

When people sign up for your ecourse instead of emailing them the content, send them to the website address where the content is. The key to this is putting your Google Adsense ads before the content.

By using this technique you are not only building a subscriber list, but you’ll also profit from people who click on your Google Adsense ads when visiting to read your ecourse.

In the future I will be writing more articles on how to profit with Google Adsense without having to use any SEO techniques. By using the techniques above, you are working smarter and not harder, and that’s really the key to making money with Google A getting your Adsense and site account terminated altogether.

I’ve been on the trial of new ideas and methods to increase my own Google Adsense earnings.

As I did the research I came across some strange realizations about myself. Some of the simple and easy web site amendments I’d forgotten to implement. This threw up a question mark over my own ability to remember. I laughed and realized that hopefully such foolish errors shouldn’t happen again

A few simple ideas that came to mind, that so often I had forgotten were these:

When constructing an Adsense web page, it is always best to start with the keyword or phrase that you’re intending to use, for more details visit to www.googleatmcash.com and use it in 6 important places. Google considers these six important areas when deciding which adsense ads to display upon your site.

With that in mind, we don’t want irrelevant adverts being used upon our websites do we? Otherwise nobody will click on them. What’s the likelihood of someone clicking on a ‘Property For Sale in Italy’ when they are looking for a property in London? Here are those 6 important considerations that Google use…

Priority one – is to use the key word in the website page name ‘cum’ extension. Don’t use for example – yourwebsite.com/page003.html – it should be – yourwebsite.com/your-key-word.html.

Priority two – is to use the word or word phrase in the html ‘title’ meta tags. That is . In Microsoft Front Page every new web page built is initially given by default, a meta tag of – New Page 1. This needs to very specifically your word or word phrase only.

Whilst we are on meta tags I’ll mention ‘Priority 6′, albeit out of order. The key description has been abused in the past where people have been adding 200 keywords in the tag area. Just build a page specific to the key or phrase; and put the key alone within that tag : . Many search engine optimizers have argued whether this tag has much use anymore. I’m one to say, better safe than sorry.

Whilst still on meta tags it would also seem prudent to mention the word or phrase in the meta tag description. Whilst it will not add to your SEO or your adsense directly; indirectly it will. Here is an example – Such a description is what the search engines pick out to display in the listings. A good description including your key will attract people to click on your website link.

Priority three – heading tags. That is the h1, h2 etc … Avoid using a heading like this: Today’s Special Offers. You would be better including the Google-Key within the title, like this: Today’s Best Deals on Property in London.

Priority four – making your Google-Key bold. Your Google-Key or phrase density should be between 2 to 5%; any more than that and you may be accused of spamming your Google-Key. On a page with a 1,000 words, for more details visit to www.guardadsense.com I would say that making every keyword bold maybe too much. Just make the first two mentions of it bold, and then the very last mention bold.

Priority five – making you keywords either italic or underlined. Intermingled with the bold it is good to italicize sometimes and underline another.

(Note: For readers… My density for the word ‘keyword’ was too high for this article, so I’ve used slight variations. Proof if you ever needed it that too many mentions of one word or phrase could be considered as spam).

I hope this journey I made was helpful to you too, something so obvious, but easily forgotten. It makes tweaking your site worthwhile again.

Google Adsense is a way of presenting web site advertisements in order to bring in revenue to the site, even if the web master doesn’t sell the product.

Content

Google Adsense depends upon the content of the material in the web sites to be the key advertising selling point. The content brings people to the site to get information or to have questions answered. The rich content created by skillful and informative use of keywords about the subject at hand is what makes people stay at the web site and become clients or customers. The indexing and ranking of the pages contained in the web site is what allows viewers to discover what they will find when they go there. The more skillfully presented information that is available, the more opportunity to market the product or service.

Layout

Studies have been done about the best way to layout the Google Adsense ads. You can find information about which colors to use, whether or not to use borders on the ads, what shape the ads should be, whether the ads should be incorporated into the textual content of the ads and various other factors that make your Adsense ads noticeable yet not overwhelming. Every aspect of the layout is studied and confirmed by trial and error. In addition, certain types of layout styles will work well for one audience and may fail dismally when used for another targeted audience.

Location

Two main types of Google Adsense ads are often found on web sites. First is the text box where the ad is set apart from the content of the page by a border, white space, text size or color. Another type of location is that of blended ads. In this instance, the ad is blended into the text so that it becomes part of the content, yet the viewer can still click on the link and be taken to further information on the product in question. Since the English speaking world reads from left to right and from top to bottom, it makes sense to place your ads in the upper left quadrant of the web page rather than in the lower left.

Colors

Using colors in your Google Adsense ads that either blend with or contrast with the general theme of your web page can make a significant difference in your click through rate. Much will depend on the theme of your web site, but better success is usually found by using colors that blend with the tone of your overall page. The best way to be sure is to test your presentation for several days and look at the statistics that result.

Keywords

With Google Adsense programs, the foremost thing to remember is that the site should not be created just for the purpose of collecting Adsense revenue. Use a web site dedicated to the idea of providing information about a subject that interests you and then add the advertisements that provide additional revenue. To do otherwise will reflect poorly on both the website and on Google and you generally will not be allowed to continue receiving revenue from Google with such an approach. Take the time to research the top selling keywords and use them in your own field for maximum profits.
