5 AdSense Secrets for Maximum Profit

You can spend hundreds of dollars on various AdSense secrets and programs that either won't work or will simply be rehashed material covering the same basic principles.

Just like the traffic-growing cliche, "content is kind," if you apply some simple and consistent techniques to your AdSense campaigns, you can maximize your website's earning potential, without sacrificing quality or integrity.

1. Narrow your niche. Choosing a well-defined and focused topic for your website or blog has numerous benefits, including Google serving up highly targeted ads to your visitors. People are more likely to click on ads that pertain to exactly what they're looking for or that relate to the same service/product that drew them to your site in the first place.
2. Don't ramble. In keeping with the same concept as above, not only is it a good idea to narrow your niche, but, also, keep your posts and articles focused and on topic as well. If you ramble off on unrelated tangents and sidebars, Google will have a harder time determining what exactly you're writing about.
3. More eyes equals more clicks. Naturally, more traffic means more impressions and more clicks. Don't spend all of your time and energy on ads, without also concentrating on building your content and website traffic. Traffic and AdSense revenue certainly go hand in hand and complement each other well, and you can build both at the same time.
4. Do your homework. The ads shown on your site are based on an advertiser bidding on very specific keywords. Scope out your competition and see what keywords they seem to be targeting, then choose similar words and phrases to ensure you're attracting the highest-paying ads for your site.
5. Test, test, test...then, test some more! This is, by far, the most important secret for increasing your AdSense revenue, but so many people ignore it, because they find it tedious and boring. True, the initial process of testing locations, colors, sizes, and the infinite combinations of all three can be very time-consuming, but it can mean the difference between $100 per month and $1000 per month if you find the perfect formula for your website. Plus, you only need to do the heavy testing one time, then you can make minor tweaks here and there as time goes on to ensure your profits are always maximized.

If you use these AdSense secrets effectively, Google may end up paying your bills!
