Earnings per thousand page impressions. Calculated by 1000 X Earnings / Page Impressions&lt;br /&gt;EPC: Your EPC is not displayed because it does not really matter. EPC stands for Earnings Per Click (Earnings/Clicks) and is frequently talked about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facts (What we discovered&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;1. Stats Update Frequency/Delay: Although AdSense stats usually updates every couple hours, you don’t need to panic at all if you see no change in your stats for over 12 hours. Even if other webmasters are seeing normal updates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="entrymore"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Don’t worry about anomalies in your stats during the course of the day. These are not accurate. There could be delays in the update due to one reason or another. Only when you see figures for a new day can you know that the figures for the previous day are not going to change any more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Sometimes the stats are carried forward several days. This happens when Google decides to freeze your clicks and earnings for fraud checking/tracking purposes or server delays. Thus, you may notice your earnings/clicks shoot straight up when you least expect it. It is possible for your CTR to go up by as much as 10% and your CPM to raise $200 over the normal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. The update on the different stats are not synchronized. For example, when you check your account, the page impressions may be freshed updated, while the clicks and earnings are from two hours ago. Thus, there may be a sharp drop/increase in the derived stats. Due to this, you don’t need to fret over all these little bumps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Often delays in updates foreshadow changes to the AdSense program. For example, slow updates preceded introduction of channels, TOS changes, and addition of new languages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Channels are a great way for you to track the performance of your ad on a particular page/site. If you want to use the same code for all of your pages, you can also use the recently added URL channels. Of course, channel data are delayed by two days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Performance Tips&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. EPC doesn’t matter! That is because you have absolutely no control over your EPC. Your EPC is influenced by many variables including your webpage content, advertiser’s budget, seasonal fluctuations and more. Thus, the productive thing to do is concentrate on the factors that you have control over such as CTR and page impressions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. How well am I doing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of us probably wonder how we are doing compared to other AdSense users, including myself. However, we really can’t get a good sense of the average if Google doesn't disclose their figures, which they don’t. Since people doing well with AdSense generally don’t like to reveal their earnings due to the fear that they may be terminated by the program, any discussion about an average EPC/CTR/CPM is a waste of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. From various experiments by myself and other webmasters, we can conclude (at least for now) that using image/text ads instead of just text ads will dramatically decrease you CTR because of various reasons. (i.e. fewer advertisers, banner blindness etc.) However, the EPC is usually slightly higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Blend in or stand out? This is completely site dependent. Sometimes, people will never click on your ads unless you “trick” them into doing so, although this is not so good for long term. Other sites will require your ad to scream in your visitor’s face to get good clicks. Do some extensive testing to find out what’s good for your site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Make good use of the URL filter feature. Blocking repetitive (eBay ads) or boring ads (free smilies) will definitely increase your CTR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Large rectangles placed above the fold will often generate most revenue. However, this may not be a good long term solution since such and ad is usually obstrusive and have little aesthetic value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. If you run a forum site, you may notice that your earnings are very low. Here is a solution: use a simple cookie-based php script that only displays AdSense ads once every 10 page views -- essentially a counter counts down from 10 to 0 and on 0 displays an AdSense block. Between the AdSense ads, display regular banner ads. Although your AdSense page impressions may be down, you will notice your CTR skyrocketing, and a large increase in overall earnings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion: Play around with your ad to maximize your performance, and look at the big picture in your stats!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By: Tony Zhu&lt;br /&gt;========&lt;br /&gt;Terminology&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5786629621847249102-5525758930869615922?l=blogspot-layouts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I wanted to add some tips from my own experience:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span class="fullpost"&gt; &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ads can work well in-between other stuff.&lt;/strong&gt; On a games site of mine, some of the games don't contain ads next to the game area; the AdSense ad will only be shown in-between game rounds. This is the time the visitor is not concentrating on performing a task but might take a small break, and be open to the option of visiting new sites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Put too much emphasis on AdSense and your site may be linked to less.&lt;/strong&gt; The more available space you dedicate to AdSense on your site, and the less you differentiate between ads and content in your design, the more money you earn with the program, right? Not quite. While pushing the AdSense may result in short-term gains, it might also convince some visitors that the site is too crowded to be worth visiting again. And some of those visitors may also be bloggers or other people who might otherwise help to promote your site with links to it. And the less your site gets linked to, the less traffic it gets, meaning AdSense revenues may go down in the long term.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Even if you get huge traffic, the AdSense income from the site is more dependent on the site type and audience.&lt;/strong&gt; Google targets AdSense ads automatically to the site content. Or at least, it does so &lt;em&gt;ideally&lt;/em&gt; – but some types of content fare better than others with this targeting. I noticed for instance that AdSense does better on a games site than on a technology blog. I also heard people say that AdSense does quite good on product oriented blogs; say, one post solely about the iPod; another post solely about Gadget XYZ, and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Image ads can be relevant and work for you, but they might also apall some visitors.&lt;/strong&gt; Google's AdSense program gives you the option to choose between a couple of different ad formats. Two main groups are text ads vs text &amp;amp; image ads. When you choose the latter, Google will deliver what they deem works best for your content (or so one would hope, and it would be in Google's best self-interest to serve you the best possible ad, it seems).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Google doesn't really know your layout preferences, and they don't really understand when your audience thinks ads are "too much"; and considering image ads include Flash animations (which you can't disable, once you go for image ads), Flash animations may well push some people away. One thing you can do is to only show image ads in areas where they don't disturb the content, e.g. at the end of posts. Also, you might want to listen to visitor feedback on the ads being served; I received emails before that the blinking ad on this or that site made a person want to leave the site, at which point I blocked the specific advertiser via the AdSense Setup -&gt; Competitive Ad Filter option.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When it comes to context sensitive targeting, you can increase or lower the importance of certain parts of your page.&lt;/strong&gt; To help Google find a matching ad for your content, you can use the HTML comment syntax by encapsulating more important parts with&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_section_start --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... your important site content here ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_section_end --&gt;.&lt;/pre&gt;  Or, to lower the importance of a section, use:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... your not so important site content here ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_section_end --&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;  (Google notes that it may take up to 2 weeks for this change to your site will be taken into account by the AdSense.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if your site doesn't have any good matchable content to begin with, though? Say, the page just includes an image. Well, for the reasons of search engine optimization but also ad optimization you might want to consider using at least a descriptive title, an explanatory footer containing the important keywords or keyphrases (the kind of footer that actually helps the human visitor by explaining what the page is about). In the case of image content, reasonable alt and title attribute texts should be used as well.*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="footnote"&gt;*Whatever you do, don't resort to "keyword-stuffing" as it doesn't help your visitors and may get your page ranked lower in search engines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be aware of risks when you change ad layouts too much.&lt;/strong&gt; I once had a system on the server to randomly differ between various AdSense layouts on the same page. Doing so I was hoping to add some good variety to keep the ads at least somewhat interesting and notable. Shortly after I stopped doing so and simply included a rather big static area for the AdSense to "do what it wants," the AdSense revenues for that site increased. Now, I don't know if this was a coincidence of some sorts, as revenues often go down or up even when you don't do anything, but it might well have been that there was a connection between adding too much homemade randomization, and lowered revenues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At another time, during the redesign of this blog, I switched from one ad format to another for the end-of-posts AdSense ad space. This, combined with perhaps other layout changes, suddenly cut the ad revenues in half for the blog. It took me some time to realize that I had some ad channels* set up for the specific old layout size, and by changing this I must have kicked out all those advertisers who were pushing their ads through the channel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="footnote"&gt;*This setting can be found at AdSense Setup -&gt; Channels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use competing ad systems when AdSense doesn't seem to work for a site.&lt;/strong&gt; At CoverBrowser.com, which shows galleries of comic and book covers and so on, I tried including AdSense ads in "non-annoying" places in the layout (including trying to use AdSense affiliate links via AdSense Setup -&gt; Referrals), but this didn't seem to work at all. However I then tried "affiliating" the "buy" link below individual covers, utilizing the eBay affiliate commission system offered by &lt;a href="http://auctionads.com/"&gt;AuctionAds.com&lt;/a&gt;*. &lt;em&gt;(Disclosure: Patrick Gavin, co-owner of AuctionAds, paid me for consulting before on other projects, like Sketchcast.com.)&lt;/em&gt; This worked a lot better, and as it was simply connected to an existing site feature, it also didn't add clutter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good start to find other ad programs is to search for &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=adsense+alternatives"&gt;adsense alternatives&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; on Google... you will see a lot of lists which are dedicated to competitors. (Note that some of these competitors may be US-only.) You may also want to join an ad or blog network like &lt;a href="http://www.coudal.com/deck/"&gt;The Deck&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://federatedmedia.net/"&gt;Federated Media&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;(disclosure: I was part of Federated Media before)&lt;/em&gt;, or &lt;a href="http://9rules.com/"&gt;9 Rules&lt;/a&gt;. Before joining such a network – which might require you to show them your traffic stats and so on – check if their typical ads and campaigns fit with your site layout and your general ad type preferences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="footnote"&gt;*CommissionJunction also offers an eBay affiliate system but CommissionJunction has really low usability, in my opinion; setting it up is confusing.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sometimes you may get a sudden increase in traffic, hence ad clicks, but you can't locate the source of the traffic.&lt;/strong&gt; I'm using &lt;a href="http://analytics.google.com/"&gt;Google Analytics&lt;/a&gt; to track my sites, though AdSense is also a good first indicator of traffic explosions... because it will show the combined page views of all your sites (provided you include AdSense on all of them), as opposed to Google Analytics, where you need to check site by site individually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, sometimes even with Google Analytics, you won't be able to locate the source of your traffic because there's no specific new popular referrer being shown (a referrer is the site linking to your site, provided people click on that link). In these cases, it may well be that your site has been discussed in a TV show or similar, as the show won't "link" to you (but audiences will be entering your domain manually into the browser when they like what the saw on TV). When you feel that there has been a traffic explosion sometimes you may get additional email feedback in regards to your site, and it makes sense for you to ask your visitor: where did you first find out about the site? Maybe the can let you know about the name of the TV show, or magazine, or other "offline" source responsible for the peak. (I sometimes sent pointers to the &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/default.stm"&gt;BBC Click&lt;/a&gt; show for instance, with partly enormous effect.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consider using AdSense even when the page doesn't get any traffic yet.&lt;/strong&gt; Who knows, some day the traffic suddenly explodes, and you might not realize fast enough and thus miss out on the action (as sometimes, traffic goes as fast as it comes).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, reversely I would suggest to never do a site &lt;em&gt;just to make ad money&lt;/em&gt; with it. That kind of motivation may lead to spammy sites that don't help anyone really. (If a project is great, it's great even if it doesn't make any money.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Making money with AdSense takes time.&lt;/strong&gt; In my experience, it may take many months to years for a site to gain enough traffic to make OK money through AdSense... if ever. I have almost never experienced any site making quick and easy money with AdSense (though you may be getting quicker results than me of course, as it depends on so many variables!).&lt;br /&gt;I think for any site getting a couple of thousands of visitors a day, you might want to start playing around with AdSense to see where it takes you (if you didn't already include AdSense anyway just to see what happens, and following up on tip #9). As you are paid in US-$, the actual benefit the ad revenue will bring depends on your local costs of living as well (you might even ponder moving or going on an extended holiday trip if your local costs of living are too high for your site revenues to cover).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5786629621847249102-1357279474271340437?l=blogspot-layouts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I’ve also thrown in a few tips of my own. We start out with some of the basic general stuff and move to the more specific topics later on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Build an Empire?&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;When you’re deciding to become a website publisher you will fall into one of two broad categories: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Publish 100 websites that each earn $1 a day profit&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Publish 1 website that earns $100 a day profit&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt; The reality of it is, most people end up somewhere in between. Having 100 websites leaves you with maintenance, management and content issues. Having one website leaves you open to all sort of fluctuations (search engines algorithm’s, market trends, etc). You can adapt your plan on the way, but you’ll have an easier time if you start out going in the direction of where you want to end up.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;General or Niche&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;You can build your website around general topics or niche ones. Generally speaking niche websites work better with adsense. First off the ad targeting is much better. Secondly as you have a narrow focus your writing naturally becomes more expert in nature. Hopefully this makes you more authority in your field.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If this is your first try at building an adsense website, make it about something you enjoy. It will make the process much easier and less painful to accomplish. You should however make sure that your topic has enough of an ad inventory and the payout is at a level you are comfortable with. You may love medieval folk dancing, but the pool of advertisers for that subject is very small (in fact it’s currently zero).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Once you’ve gotten the hang of how Adsense works on a website, you are going to want to dabble in some high paying keywords, you may even be tempted to buy a high paying keyword list. This does come with some dangers. First off the level of fraud is much higher on the big money terms. Secondly there is a distortion of the supply and demand relationship for these terms. Everyone wants ads on their website that make $35 or more a click, however the number of advertisers who are willing to pay that much is pretty limited. Additionally the competition for that traffic is going to be stiff. So, don’t try to run with the big dogs if you can’t keep up. If you have to ask if you’re a big dog, then chances are, you’re not. I have used a high dollar keywords report from &lt;a href="http://www.cashkeywords.com/"&gt;cashkeywords.com&lt;/a&gt; and was pleased with my results (see &lt;a href="http://www.wolf-howl.com/2005/07/cash-keywords-free-offer-recap.html"&gt;cash keywords free offer recap&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;New Sites, Files and Maintenance&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;When you’re building a new site don’t put adsense on it until it’s finished. In fact I’d go even farther and say don’t put adsense on it until you have built inbound links and started getting traffic. If you put up a website with “lorem ipsum” dummy or placeholder text, your adsense ads will almost certainly be off topic. This is often true for new files on existing websites, especially if the topic is new or different. It may take days or weeks for google’s media bot to come back to your page and get the ads properly targeted. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" &gt;TIP: If you start getting lots of traffic from a variety of IP’s you will speed this process up dramatically.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I like to build my sites using include files. I put the header, footer and navigation in common files. It makes it much easier to maintain and manage. I also like to put my adsense code in include files. If I want/need to change my adsense code, it’s only one file I have to work with. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" &gt;TIP: I also use programming to turn the adsense on or off. I can change one global variable to true or false and my adsense ads will appear or disappear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Managing URL’s and channels&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Adsense channels is one area where it’s really easy to go overboard with stats. You can set up URL channels to compare how one website is doing to another. You can also set up sub channels for each URL. If you wanted to you do something channels like this:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;domain1.com - 728 banner&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;domain1.com - 336 block&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;domain1.com - text link&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;domain2.com - 728 banner&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;domain2.com - image banner&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;domain2.com - 336 block&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;domain3.com - 300 block&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;While this is great for testing and knowing who clicks where and why, it makes your reporting a little wonky. Your total number will always be correct but when you look at your reports with a channel break down things will get displayed multiple times and not add up to correct total. Makes things pretty confusing, so decide if you really need/want that level of reporting detail. &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;TIP: At the very least you want to know what URL is generating the income so be sure to enter distinct URL channels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Site Design and Integration&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wolf-howl.com/uploaded_images/google-heat-map-734265.gif" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.wolf-howl.com/uploaded_images/google-heat-map-732414.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you know you are going to put adsense on your website you’re going to have to consider where to put it. If this is new site it’s easier, if it’s an existing site it’s more difficult. While there are some people who will be able to do it, in most cases I’d say if you just slap the adsense code in, you’ll end up with a frankensite monster &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(props to Tedster of WMW for the buzzword)&lt;/span&gt;. While every website is different, &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/static.py?page=tips.html"&gt;Google has published some heat maps&lt;/a&gt; showing the optimal locations. No surprise that the best spots are middle of the page and left hand side. Now I’ve done really well by placing it on the right, but you should know why you’re doing it that way before hand, and be prepared to change it if it doesn’t work out.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Google has also has published a list of the highest performing ad sizes: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;336×280 large rectangle&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;300×250 inline rectangle&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;160×600 wide skyscraper&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt; From the sites that I run, I do really well with the 336 rectangle and 160 skyscraper. My next best performing ad size is the 728 leaderboard, I don’t really use the 300 inline rectangle too often. So really it depends on how well you integrate these into your site. Placement can have a dramatic effect on performance. &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;TIP: When working on a new site or new layout you may want to give each location it’s own channel for a little while until you understand the users behavior.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Another ‘trick’ that can increase your CTR is by blending your adsense into your body copy. For example if your body copy is black, remove the adsense border and make the title, text, and URL black.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" &gt;TIP: Try changing all of your page hyperlinks to a high contrast color (like dark red or a bold blue) then change the adsense title to the same color.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The one area where I’ve found blended ads don’t perform as well is forums, especially ones with a high volume of repeat members. Regular visitors develop banner blindness pretty quickly. One ‘trick’ to keep the ads from being ignored is to randomize the color and even the placement. As with any of the decisions about location, placement and color it’s a trade off. How much do you emphasize the ads without annoying your visitors. Remember it’s better to have a 1% CTR with 500 regular visitors as opposed to a 5% CTR with 50 visitors. &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;TIP: For forums try placing the adsense ads directly above or below the the first forum thread.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Using Images&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;One of the latest ’secrets’ to make the rounds is using images placed directly above or below an adsense leaderboard. This has been used for a while but came out in a digital point forum thread where a member talked about &lt;a href="http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=17104"&gt;quadrupling their CTR&lt;/a&gt;. Basically you set up the adsense code in a table with four images that line up directly with the ads. Whether or not this is deceptive is fuzzy and very subjective. Obviously four blinking arrows would be ‘enticing people to click’ and be against the adsense TOS. However placing pictures of 4 laptops over laptops ads isn’t, so use your best judgment here and look at it from the advertiser or Google’s perspective. If you have a question as to your implementation being ‘over the line’ write to adsense and ask them to take a look.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As far as using the images, I’ve done it and can tell you it definitely works. You get the best results when the images ‘complete the story the ads are telling’. For example if you have ads about apple pies, use pictures of freshly baked apple pies, instead of granny smith, Macintosh, pink lady, and braeburn apples. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" &gt;TIP: Don’t limit yourself to using images only on that size ad unit, it works just as well with the other sizes, like the 336 rectangle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Added:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got a little criticizm for this and rightly so, as I wasn’t specific as I could have been. Do not use very identifiable brand name or products for your images. Use generic non-specific stock images whenever possible and appropriate.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Multiple Ad Units&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Another way to increase ad revenue is to use multiple ad units. According to Google’s TOS you are allowed to post up to three ad units per page. Similar to standard search results the highest paying ad units will be served first and the lowest being served last. If there is enough of an ad inventory, place all three ad units. However you should pay attention to the payouts. Current assumption is you get 60% of the revenue (on a $0.05 click you get $0.03). So if a click from the third ad unit is only paying between 3 to 5 cents you may want to omit it from your page. This is one are where giving your ad units channels does have value. If one ad unit is getting a higher percentage of click throughs you’ll want to make sure the highest paying ads are being served there. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" &gt;TIP:Use CSS positioning to get your highest paying ads serving in the location with the highest CTR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Adsense in RSS&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;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: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You only get to place one ad unit.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You have no control over finding the ’sweet spot’ for the ad unit.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The ads are usually poorly targeted &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(this is getting better).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;People develop ‘banner blindness’.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Affiliate Sites&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Placing Adsense on affiliate sites is tricky. Are you giving up a $10, $20, or $30 sale for a $1 click? This is something you have to test on your own to figure out. If you aren’t converting now it’s definitely worth a try. I like to use adsense on my article pages. For example let’s say you had an affiliate website where you sold shoes. You’re going to need some related articles to ‘flesh out’ the site. Things like ‘getting a shoe shine’ or ‘finding a shoe repair shop’ these are excellent spots for adsense. While you won’t get rich, they will usually provide a small steady income and cover things like hosting costs.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" &gt;TIP: If you find you have pages getting more than 50 clicks per month add more pages about this topic, and link the pages together. Mine you logs for the search terms used.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;PPC Arbitrage&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is a dicey subject so I’m going to steer clear of precise examples. Basically you bid on low volume uber niche terms at a very low cost. You set up landing page that contains high payout ads for the related general topic. You are looking for terms with a large gap between the price you are bidding on adwords and the price you are getting on Adsense. If you pay $0.10 a click and get $1.00 a click you make $0.90 each click. To get your adsense ad approved you will need to ‘add some value’ along the way. You can make a killing or get taken to the cleaners with this one, so make sure you know what you are doing before you try it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Have any other adsense tips, tricks or secrets? Drop me an email and let me know, I’ll give you credit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Added&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;728 leaderboard works very well if it is just above the end of the&lt;br /&gt;“above the fold” area on what would be considered your viewers average&lt;br /&gt;resolution/browser window size if there are few other enticing links&lt;br /&gt;above the fold. Makes for an interesting layout but if you’re building&lt;br /&gt;a site for AdSense it may be worth it.

It’s a very modern, web 2.0, 3 column, black and blue template with a ton of features including some never before used in a Blogger template! We really try to push the limits with our latest and greatest templates and know you’re going to love this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This template will work right out of the box but in order to personalize it just for you, it’s going to take some work. You’ll need to edit the template code which is usually for more experienced Blogger users but anyone is welcome to try of course.

I hated the blogger bar across the top of my Web site because it didn’t really go with my template and I already had a Google search bar integrated. So I went on a mission to remove it and de-bloggerify my blog. I searched far and wide and for some reason kept hitting a dead end. It turns out that the code used to change the old blogger templates no longer works! So after tracking down the CSS changes here is how I did it: &lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6D2eRMVnksE/SJq-nICVk4I/AAAAAAAAAPU/pnMn3-nUeRI/s1600-h/navbar-blogger-new.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6D2eRMVnksE/SJq-nICVk4I/AAAAAAAAAPU/pnMn3-nUeRI/s400/navbar-blogger-new.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231703496525714306" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;All you need to do is add the following CSS to your template under edit HTML. You need to put in anywhere in your template between the  tags. &lt;ul&gt;&lt;em&gt;#navbar-iframe { height:0px; visibility:hidden; display:none; }&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step by step in video&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/739548/remove_blogger_navbar.swf" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="345" width="400"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5786629621847249102-6016125608496191258?l=blogspot-layouts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It is very good for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) . Actually, why we are adding meta tags is to tell search engines what that page is all about... but, using same meta tags to all of your blog posts lessens the search engine rankings and traffic little bit.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;But, if you add different unique meta tags to different Blog posts, it makes the search engines to know more about your individual blog posts and make them crawl and index your pages better and it also improves your Search engine rankings for sure
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;So, how to add this?&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;For this to happen, you have to add some pieces of codes to the template.
&lt;br /&gt;First Sign in to Blogger dashboard » &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Layout&lt;/span&gt; » &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Edit html&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;and find this line
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;textarea cols="39" rows="1" onclick="this.select()"&gt;&lt;title&gt;&lt;data:blog.title/&gt;&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Now, replace that line which these:
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;textarea cols="39" rows="7" onclick="this.select()"&gt;&lt;b:if cond='data:blog.pageType'&gt;  &lt;meta content='data:blog.pageName' name='description'/&gt;  &lt;meta content='data:blog.pageName' name='keywords'/&gt;  &lt;title&gt;&lt;data:blog.pagename/&gt; | &lt;data:blog.title/&gt;&lt;/title&gt;  &lt;b:else/&gt;  &lt;meta content='&lt;your_keyword_here&gt;' name='keywords'/&gt;  &lt;meta content='&lt;your_description_here&gt;' name='description'/&gt; &lt;title&gt;&lt;data:blog.pagetitle/&gt;&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/b:if&gt; &lt;/textarea&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;and Save the Changes.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Just like the above procedure, you can add different meta tags to as many blog posts as you can.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Think of Hawaii and the nice flowers you find on tropical islands. You now have the Blue Flowers template in your mind and are ready to put it on your blog. This template is fixed width. This template will NOT work in “classic” Blogger mode. This theme features a built in RSS Feed and full support for drag and drop sidebar widgets.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The images are already hosted via Photobucket, no need to download those separately!

It’s got two right sidebars so you can easily add Google Adsense or another advertisement block. It also has a cool mouse over tab function which is pretty uncommon for Blogger templates. You’ll need to go into the template code and edit a few areas though. It’s the right side above both the sidebars which is easy to change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All images are hosted so just download the template and install!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, in order to get the date for each post formatted correctly you need to make the following change (if you don’t already have it set this way).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Go to “Settings” =&gt; “Formatting”&lt;br /&gt;* Then change “Date Header Format” to this format - “12 January 2008?&lt;br /&gt;* Then change “Timestamp Format” to this format - “Friday, March 28, 2008? (Thanks for the correction Andrew)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your date on each post should now display correctly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogspot-layouts.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-change-blogger-templates.html" target="_blank"&gt;How to install&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5786629621847249102-1336863261155169423?l=blogspot-layouts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

To display these ads, a site must join Google's &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/adsense"&gt;AdSense&lt;/a&gt; program. Joining is free, but not all sites are eligible to join. Once you're accepted, however, it's very simple to place the ads on your pages and to start generating revenue for your site. AdSense will serve ads that are generally very relevant to the content of a particular page. Here are some tips based on my experiences so far with the AdSense program &lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Tip #1: Don't put ads on empty pages.&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;When I reworked my site, I built a skeleton set of pages that had no content, just titles and some meta tags. I displayed ads on those pages, however. Although all you see are public service ads at first, the very act of displaying ads on a page causes the AdSense web crawler to quickly fetch that page for analysis. A page with good content will thus begin showing relevant paying ads fairly quickly. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you don't have any content, then, Google will have to guess as what your page is about. It may guess wrong, and so the ads that it displays may not be relevant. You'll have to wait until Google re-crawls the site for the ads to correct themselves. Here is what Google had to say when I asked them about how often the AdSense crawler updates a site:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;table border="1" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#eeeeee"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Thank you for taking the time to update your site. New ads will start appearing on your site the next time our crawler re-indexes your site. Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to control how often our crawlers index the content on your site. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Crawling is done automatically by our bots. When new pages are added to your website or introduced to the AdSense program, our crawlers will usually get to them within 30 minutes. If you make changes to a page, however, it may take up to 2 or 3 weeks before the changes are reflected in our index. Until we are able to crawl your web pages, you may notice public service ads, for which you will not receive any earnings. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;It's better to flesh out the page before you start displaying ads on it. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Tip #2: Don't be afraid to ask questions&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you're wondering about something, don't be afraid to ask Google. So far, they've always responded to my questions within a working day. There are two email addresses to use, depending on the type of question: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;table border="1" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#eeeeee"&gt; Please feel free to email us at  &lt;a href="mailto:adsense-tech@google.com"&gt;adsense-tech@google.com&lt;/a&gt;  if you have additional technical questions or concerns. For general program or account questions, please email  &lt;a href="mailto:adsense-support@google.com"&gt;adsense-support@google.com&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;Their responses are always very polite, and they  appreciate getting problem reports and suggestions. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Tip #3: Avoid non-English characters on English pages&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;This one is a bug, to be honest. My surname is French, and I prefer to write it out correctly with the &lt;i&gt;accent grave&lt;/i&gt; on the first "e". Every page on my site would then include at least two accented letters, because my name shows up twice in the footer. On some pages my name shows up two or three more times. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Normally, this wouldn't be an issue. But on some pages the presence of the accented characters is enough to cause AdSense to display non-relevant ads in French. This happens whether the browser indicates a preference for French or not. When I reported this to Google, this is the answer they gave me: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;table border="1" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#eeeeee"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Hello Eric,&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We are currently working as quickly as we can to address this problem. As soon as we have more information for you, we will email you again. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We appreciate your patience.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Sincerely, &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Google Team&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;Until this is resolved, I've decided to strip out all accents  except on the pages that are actually in French. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Tip #4: Check your keyword density&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Although Google doesn't release exact details as to how they determine the ads to serve on a given page, they do tell us that it's the &lt;i&gt;text content&lt;/i&gt; of the page that matters, not the meta tags. Before serving ads on a page, then, you might want to check its &lt;i&gt;keyword density&lt;/i&gt;. A good, free tool for doing this is found here: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;pre&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ranks.nl/tools/spider.html"&gt;http://www.ranks.nl/tools/spider.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;p&gt;This lets you fine-tune the page before exposing it to the AdSense crawler.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5786629621847249102-360025215678884334?l=blogspot-layouts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
