Making money with Adsense is easy right? You just set up a website or blog on a certain topic, copy and paste the ad code onto it and wait for traffic to come in. How easy was that? The answer is its very easy, but that won't get you any traffic or visitors to your site. And visitors are what gets you those clicks that earn you money, so you will need plenty of them. Sitting back after you have built your site won't get people to your site, you will need to work at it. In fact, building your site is just the first step, and as most people would also say it is also the easiest. Here are a few tips that will help you to succeed with adsense and make you money:

1. Get some traffic

There are many ways to do this, and depending on your website subject there are right and wrong ways. You need to get targeted traffic to your site, i.e. people who are interested in the topic of your site. A good way to do this is to find a forum that is related to the content of your site and then put links in your signature. Then post on the forum(s). Try to be helpful and informative and don't spam. Don't just create threads or posts that aren't useful to other people.
Article marketing is another good way to get some targeted traffic. Write some quality articles about the subject of your website. Make them interesting and informative and people will get to see them (and the link in your signature)

2. Create a lens of squidoo

This is an adsense revenue sharing site, so you can share the earnings from the ads on your page. Again, write about something interesting and informative. Comment on other peoples lenses and they may take an interest in your lenses too, but remember not to spam

3. Don't fill your page with ads

Filling your page to bursting full of adverts is a sure way to irritate your visitors. It doesn't make them more compelled to click on your ads, in fact quite the opposite can happen, they just end up leaving your site. Remember that less is more.


4. Don't use “adsense templates”

These are usually filled with non interesting content that appears on a load of other blogs or websites. Visitors have probably seen it elsewhere, and it just isn't that appealing. Write your own original and entertaining content. If you don't want to do this, you could always hire a writer to write some content for you. This shouldn't cost too much. Google will place your page higher if it thinks your website is not just a “clone” of other websites or blogs

5. Choose a high paying niche

Some ads will earn you more money than others. You may have noticed that you can get paid a certain amount for one click, and then a different amount for another? This is because the keyword that the advertisers are bidding on is costing them a certain amount of money and this changes for each keyword. They have to bid against other advertisers to get their ad displayed. The amount they have to pay depends on how many other advertisers they have to compete with. You can choose a competitive market to base your site on and get paid a high amount for each click. Although it would be a more difficult to get traffic to your site in a more competitive topic area, but the rewards are high.

6. Integrate your ads

Make your ads appear as though they belong on your site. You are likely to get more focus and attention on them if they look more like your sites content. Use the same colors or fonts as your webpages

Hopefully you can profit from these tips, and improve your adsense sites. Remember that people like entertaining, useful and content rich sites. They don't want to be bombarded with tons of ads wherever they look.
