Improving Your Adsense

Today I was reviewing my adsense and I was wandering if i could improve more the results that I show. So I started looking the web and found in Daily Blog Tips some useful suggestions:

• The ads with most performance are: 336×280 large rectangle, 300×250 inline rectangle and 160×600 wide skyscraper. Of course this ads may not look well in your site. I, for example, use the 200×200 small square because is less invasive to the visitor. I want to share my ideas, not publicity.
• Use colours that are known by user, like the blue (blue is associated with beginning of the internet). You can also use another colour, but that colour must be the same in every link in your page. If you use the color red in the links of your site, you should use the red in adsense links also.
• Your adsense should have colours that stand out in your page.
• Remove the “Advertise on this site” message.

I only posted here 4 of the 8 tips that Daily Blog Tips shared. Click here to the the full original post.

One other thing that I found is that you can improve crawler information gathering with a thing called “section targeting”. Section targeting is two Html tags that you put in your page:

<!– google_ad_section_start –>

<!– google_ad_section_end –>

Inside these Html tags should be the most relevant information of your site. For example, in a blog these tags should be placed around the posts. This way the crawler will only index the most relevant information of you site.

Of course this isn’t perfect. Google alerts:

However, please be aware that we can’t guarantee results, and that it may take up to 2 weeks before our crawlers take into account any changes you’ve made to your site.

You can more information in the Adsense help center, here.

In Conclusion, there is no perfect way to improve Adsense. You only can follow some guidelines that may or may not improve your incoming. Of course that your incoming will always depend of your site visitors. If you have a lot of visitors and 1% of them find some relevant information then your incoming can be relevant.

In my case, if 1% of the people click in my adsense, what I would receive would be almost irrelevant, but in sites like Problogger ou Daily Blog Tips, if 1% of the user clicks in the adsense, then the incoming can be relevant. So the Adsense success also depends of how much people visits you site.
