Attract more search traffic (especially from MSN/Live search) and use the square/rectangle ad formats blended into your body text. They you go, done, Adsense Secrets 5.0, or Adsense Common Sense as I like to call it.
Joel Comm’s latest e-book (spit) Adsense Secrets 4.0 has caused quite a stir in the blogging for money niche. Every a-lister and their dog has wrote about it in order to try and cash in on some affiliate sales. For only $9.95 how can you possibly go wrong? Let me start by telling you that in the past I’ve bought several of Joel Comm’s titles for much more than $9.95, I can hand on heart say the only e-book I’ve ever recommended buying is Aarons Wall’s SEO Book, read into that what you want. Enough to say I won’t be buying this one, especially not as it also signs you up for a $30 a month subscription at the same time.
The big secret to earning money with Adsense is that there is no secret, YOU NEED LOTS OF TRAFFIC. Once you have lots of traffic (preferably natural search traffic, MSN/Yahoo click best) you then place rectangle/square ads in the text of your page. You can go on from there to try experimenting but either way Joel Comm isn’t going to have the magic answer to what will work best on YOUR pages, only you can find that out by trial and error. Take note though, IF YOU’RE NOT GETTING LOTS OF TRAFFIC THEN YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET RICH USING ADSENSE! Got a site that get 20 visitors a day, you’re not getting to earn hundreds of dollars a day from that, I promise.
There are a couple of reasons I wouldn’t recommend Adsense Secrets 4.0
1. Extra long and extremely spammy “standard” e-book sales page
2. Added “bonus” of being signed up to a monthly subscription service plus no fewer than three mailing lists
3. It won’t let you leave the page, first of all a “are you sure” dialog box and then one of those faux instant chat boxes (these should be made fucking illegal). The whole reason I’m not linking to it anywhere in this post is because if I did you’d never be able to get of the page again and would probably never forgive me for sending you somewhere so shitty and spammy.
If anyone does buy it, good luck. I’m looking forward to hearing your success story of how changing one ad attribute increased your CTR by 15522% or something similar.
