Website At 100: Adsense optimization

From my personal experience and from speaking with many other publishers, it seems that many of them cannot even garner enough earnings to trigger off a payment from Google (USD $100). This is really sad because many give up before even reaching the halfway mark. Imagine adding up all the quitters, the amount of advertising money Google would have pocketed without paying a cent!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Point #1 Find Your Niche.<br />You need to know about your topic or subject fully and be an at least knowledgeable on it. You write quality content, you get quality ads shown. It is as simple as that. If you really found profitable niche on but know nuts about it, you can always use free articles (like this one) and post them on your site with their links on them of course. It is a easy and quick way to get quality content to your site.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Point #2 Laser Focused Theme.<br />You need to fully concentrate on your topic and area of interest. Do not deviate from it even a single bit! The reason behind this is to get the MOST relevant ads to your content which in turn will be the most likely to interest the visitor and get clicked on.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Point #3 Website Navigation.<br />Do not trick the visitor, do not confuse the visitor, do not attempt to hide the ad but do not ‘blast’ the ad at the same time. Create your navigation in such a way that your ads appear unobtrusive and yet viewable. It is advisable to put more then one ad but do not cramp your page with ads, it turns the visitor off.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Point #4 Key Word Density<br />Although Google doesn’t release exact details as to how they determine the ads to serve on a given page. We do know that content (and words) of the page that matters. Before serving ads on a page, then, you might want to check its keyword density to see what words pops up most frequently.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Point #5 Maintain Content Readability<br />Advertisements should not distract from your content, or else your visitors will be driven away. Make <a href="http://websiteat100.com/blog/category/google-adsense/" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; color: black; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" title="Adsense blog by websiteat100.com">Adsense </a>a cohesive part of your site design, not something slapped in at the last minute or some hastily put up page.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Point #6 Ask Them!<br />Google knows best about their own programs. If you have any doubt or any question at all, feel free to mail them. If you have additional technical questions or concerns. For general program or account questions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Point #7 Do Nots.<br />Do no click on your own ads neither should you ask others to click on your Google ads. Do not manually change or modify you ad code. Do not place Google ads on sites that include prohibited/questionable content (e.g.: adult sites, hate sites) Do not employ cloaking, hidden text or farm links. Do not create a site just because you think you found high paying keywords and throw content in just based on them just for the purpose of profiting from them.</div>

Below are some tips to help you optimize your pages to make them more Adsense-friendly. Note that these tips deal with ad delivery rather than ad formatting or placement. While ad formatting and placement may affect ad click-through rates, they have nothing to do with the delivery of relevant ads to your site. Your site must display relevant ads before they have any chance of being clicked on.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
1. Avoid too much content on a page</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
If <a href="http://websiteat100.com/blog/category/google-adsense/" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; color: black; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" title="Adsense blog by websiteat100.com">Adsense </a>does not understand what is your page is about, it cannot deliver ads targeted to its content. Although a human being can easily tell what a web page is about by taking a glance at it, computer algorithms are no so intelligent. If your page contains too much content, chances are that it also contains too many seemingly unrelated keywords. <a href="http://websiteat100.com/blog/category/google-adsense/" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; color: black; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" title="Adsense blog by websiteat100.com">Adsense </a>becomes confused and displays PSAs or ads unrelated to the topic of your page. Try dividing the page into smaller ones, each focusing on just a few related keywords.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
2. Avoid too little content on a page</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
If your page contains lots of graphics and very little text, <a href="http://websiteat100.com/blog/category/google-adsense/" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; color: black; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" title="Adsense blog by websiteat100.com">Adsense </a>may have a hard time figuring out what it is about. This is especially true when the bulk of your content is derived from graphics and scripts. When possible, use text rather than graphics to display website names, page titles, and headline texts. Make certain to include your keywords in the title of your page and repeat them throughout the page. Avoid hiding your text through sneaky tactics, such as using tiny fonts or making your text the same color as the background. This may be construed by <a href="http://websiteat100.com/blog/category/seo/" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; color: black; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" title="Search engine blog by websiteat100.com">search engines</a> as spam.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
3. Repeat keywords that you are targeting</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Keyword repetition makes it easier for <a href="http://websiteat100.com/blog/category/google-adsense/" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; color: black; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" title="Adsense blog by websiteat100.com">Adsense </a>to decipher what your page is about. Do this in moderation as excessive repetition may be considered spam by the <a href="http://websiteat100.com/blog/category/seo/" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; color: black; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" title="Search engine blog by websiteat100.com">search engines</a>. Excessive repetition may also make your writing sound awkward to the human reader. Instead of repeating the same keyword more than 5 or 6 times on a page, use synonyms and related keywords. For example, instead of repeating “Adsense optimization” 20 times, you might try alternative phrases like “increase Adsense revenues” or “earn more from Adsense”.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
4. Avoid acronyms</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
I once wrote an article on pay-per-click advertising for one of my sites. When I uploaded the article to my site, I was surprised to find that all of the ads showing on the page were for Apple computer products and had nothing to do with pay-per-click. It later occurred to me that instead of repeating “pay-per-click” over and over in the article, I used the acronym “PPC” numerous times. As it turned out, “PPC” also stands for “PowerPC”, Apple’s line of Power Macintosh computers, which explained why I was getting all the Apple related ads. When I replaced all the “PPCs” with “pay-per-click” and “pay per click”, the problem went away.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
5. Choose keywords with commercial value</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; text-align: justify;">
You may get public service announcements rather than paid ads if your page deals with a subject matter whose keywords no one bids on. A remedy for this is to incorporate keywords with commercial value into your manuscript. For instance, if your page is on some obscure medical condition, you might try sprinkling a few drug names into your document to make it display paid ads rather than PSAs.</div>
