Quick Tips
If you are just starting out, there are several things that you should absolutely do in order to get the most out of AdSense. The official guides offered during the signup process are fairly limited, not offering any particularly noteworthy advice. You may already be implementing many of these, but there are likely some pieces of low hanging fruit among the following.
61. Sizlopedia.com. We’d be a bit concerned about the lack of content above the fold if we were running this site, but this is a good example of effective use of link units.
61. AdSense Success Stories. This official Google page highlights some inspiring AdSense success stories.
63. (More) AdSense Success Stories. This collection of success stories is even better; there are details about the specific changes made to each to boost earnings.
64. How I Made $13,490.50 With AdSense Last November. This inside look at ThanksgivingBlackFridayAds.com has some great insights into building a successful AdSense site.
65. Other AdSense Optimizers. You probably noticed that a number of the sites suggested above are “how to” or encyclopedia type properties. These types of sites–ones that get huge amounts of traffic, monetize primarily through display ads, and feature relatively thin content–tend to be good at AdSense optimization. That’s because a big chunk of their traffic is “one and done,” landing on the site from a search engine and exiting after only a few seconds on site. So in order to be profitable, they need to be effective at getting these transient visitors to click on ads.
There is a ridiculous amount of content out there on the topic of AdSense. While most of it is completely worthless (the countless articles with titles like “How to Quadruple Your AdSense Earnings in 30 Seconds”), there are a number of high quality resources that offer up actionable advice. Some of the best tools, newsletters, and forums include:
66. Inside AdSense Blog. The official Google AdSense blog features a ton of content for publishers, including tutorials and tips for maximizing earnings.
67. AdSense Experts. This forum is designed for advanced AdSense users to share strategies. (You’ll have to pass a test before you can join to demonstrate you know enough to be able to contribute to the conversation.)
68. AdSense Community on Google+. This unofficial Google+ community has more than 1,000 members, and serves as another place for AdSense publishers to bounce ideas off their peers.
69. A Blogger’s Guide to Earning More with Google AdSense. John Saddington’s 32-part series on AdSense strategies is a great read.
70. JenSense. This blog isn’t updated regularly anymore, but the Optimization Bootcamp section contains some very valuable evergreen information.
