How to increase CTR on Adsense.
Having a high CTR will generate more revenue for the same amount of traffic you get. This is very important when you are paying for your traffic. A higher CTR can increase your ROI and make a campaign profitable.

I’ve mentioned before that certain niches can have more ‘click-happy’ visitors than others. Finding those niches is one consideration you should make when choosing a niche. Usually though, the only way to tell is by driving traffic to your Adsense pages and watch your CTR.

I always do the following things when designing my ads for higher CTR.

1. Make background of the ad same as background of the site.
2. Remove border from ads.
3. Use large rectangle ad layout.
4. Make the title of the Ad blue.
5. Place ads ‘above the fold’.

One mistake I see many newbies do is not place any outgoing links on the page with the Adsense ads. This is against Google’s TOS. You have to have at least one outgoing link on the page with your ads. Always check Google’s TOS and ultimately contact Google if you’re in doubt about a technique of generating higher CTR.

None of the techniques I use are against Google’s TOS. In fact, they help improve the relevancy of your landing page, which is a very important factor according to Google.

“On a long enough time line ANY person in ANY business in ANY market will find a way to be successful. But as life span is limited, only those who are able to risk their time across a correct number and type of strategies will reach their success point before their life span runs out.”

Here you have 2 different stories about how to become millionaire just using Adsense. The first one is about Markus Frind.

Have you heard of Markus Frind?

If you haven’t, he recently made headlines when he posted a $1million Google Adsense Check on his blog.

Anyway, how in the world did this one man band create such an enormous Adsense empire?

But instead of telling you what he did, I think you should read his own words of how he did it.

The second story is about a 17 year old high school girl who has done over $1 Million in adsense for her myspace layouts business.

It’s a very interesting read.

2 years ago I met an australian gentleman called Quentin Brown in the Megaseminar in Denver. This quiet man really impressed me with his speech and knowledge. Now I’ve discovered an article about how to effectively tweaking  Google Adsense and I’ve found his author is the same Quentin Brown.

“As an experienced Adsense publisher, you know tons of Adsense Optimization tricks that will yield maximum advertising revenue.

To quickly recap, you know by heart that wide rectangles perform better than banner formats, that Google Ad colors should blend with page background color, that section targeting serves more relevant ads, that border-less Ads convert best, that split testing helps you shortlist the best ad formats, that Google CSE is much better than Adsense for Search.. the list goes on and on.

But what’s the next step when you have experimented with all these Adsense tweaks but the CTRs and eCPM figures are stationary or aren’t moving north as you would like them to? Well, the simple solution is – some more optimization.”
