101 Ways to Make Money with AdSense (Part 5)

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.

41. Try out Mobile Anchor Ads. AdSense now offers mobile partners a “mobile anchor ad” that sticks to the bottom of a screen when a user scrolls.
42. Familiarize Yourself With AdSense Reporting. AdSense features an extremely detailed, flexible reporting interface. Understanding all the data available to you there can help you become a much better optimizer.
AdSense Alternatives
Alternatives / Supplements
While many publishers tend to stick with one ad network, there’s no reason to limit your monetization opportunities. There are a number of additional networks out there that are capable of creating value, either as supplements or alternatives to AdSense. Unfortunately, a lot of the ad networks competing with AdSense have some pretty significant drawbacks, ranging from irrelevant ads to actually installing malware on your sites. Do your homework on these other options before you start.
43. Supplement With Media.net. This is one of the best non-AdSense networks out there, offering flexibility, control, and even access to a support team (of real humans!). This network can run side-by-side with AdSense.
44. Try Out Chitika (But Don’t Expect Much). This network is very easy to get up and running, as approval takes literally a few minutes. But the earnings potential is limited; you’re unlikely to get CPMs that come even close to AdSense.
45. Don’t Use Clicksor. Though this ad network is somewhat popular, it’s not very impressive. The interface is difficult to use, you’ll get low quality ads, and you may end up with malware.
46. Give Sponsored Content a Shot. Companies like Taboola and Outbrain offer publishers a way to monetize traffic by featuring content from other Web properties on your site.
47. Turn Text Into Ads. Networks including InfoLinks allow publishers to turn their text into ad units. This will likely be a pretty small RPM boost, but for some publishers it will work very well.
48. Bring Ads to Newsletters. If you have an email newsletter, you have another potential host for banner ads on your hands. While AdSense doesn’t offer this solution (yet), there are a few other partners out there. For smaller publishers, check out NewsletterDirectory.co.
49. Other Creative Implementations. Display advertising has evolved a lot in recent years; there are now more opportunities than ever before. Try out some of the more creative solutions that fall under the display advertising umbrella.

While we encourage you to get creative in your experiments and optimization strategies, there’s also no need to reinvent the wheel. Whenever you’re online, whether for business or pleasure, you should have your monetization hat on. Pay attention to implementations others are working; if it’s in use on their site, there’s a chance that it’s working pretty well for them (though it’s also very possible that they don’t think much about ad revenue optimization and have a sub-optimal strategy in place). To get you started, below are several sites with AdSense implementations and strategies that we admire. Spend some time reviewing, and try out some of the best ideas you gather from this exercise:
