Increased Adsense Earnings With SEO Tips and Tricks

SEO optimization is essential if you want a steady flow of traffic viewing your adsense ads or other affiliate links.

If you are designing your pages for specific keywords, make sure the keywords are prominent at the end of the page as well as the beginning. This lets the search engines know the main concept you started the page out with is still current all the way through the page.

AdSense Placement - Left, Right, Out?

Secondly, think about what it is that grabs your visitors attention. Keep your ads to the top or left of the main attention grabbing content of that page. If your viewers will be looking at content in the centre then place the ads to the top or left of that content. Is there an image on the left hand side that will grab the visitors attention? Try to place the ad to the top of the image.

Setting ads near main content may mean you lose page space for other items. Many sites have a site index or other links to the left and putting ads there may disrupt your website design. If you have site links to the left I recommend using google ads at the top. Likewise if your index is at the top you can have your ads to the left. Some use drop down links at the top which means you can place google ads at the top and to the left if you wish.

Bear in mind what your visitor is looking for. Keep your visitors happy and they will keep coming back. Design your site for your visitor first, AdSense or other income second.

Firstly, make sure there is enough white space around your ads. Try not to scrunch everything in. This doesn’t need to be said but keep the adsense links in the same theme as the rest of your site. It doesn’t have to be the same color, you can have a look at a color wheel for contrasting colors if it all looks a bit too plain.
