Wouldn't it be nice to be generating more than a $100 a month in passive income from the magic Google AdSense program - that would be more than $3000 a month which would provide a pretty decent income for some people.
The reality however, is that many AdSense publishers see AdSense as a way to making some easy money online but after a month or two they soon realize that it's not going to be an easy way to get rich online.
So what differentiates the big AdSense earners who earn in excess of $100,000 a month from those publishers who struggle to make the $100 threshold to generate a payment.
Well there are a number of factors which include the usual common practices for maximizing your AdSense earnings as follows;
Ad Placement
Ad Blending - Fonts, Colors, Background, Border etc
Ad Sizes
Website Traffic
Website Niche or Topic
However, notwithstanding the above, one of the biggest factors that is directly proportional to your AdSense reveue is time.
In other words the older your website or blog, or the longer you have been publishing AdSense ads on it, the more chance it has have increasing its daily AdSense revenue.
Ok, this could be related to traffic, because as time goes by, the more the website gets tweaked, the more links it gets and the better it ranks in the SERPS (Search Engine Results Pages) and so on.
So what this means is that unless you have instant traffic to a your high paying niche website, you will probably have to be patient to realize that $100 a day AdSense revenue.

4 Points For Highest AdSense Earnings
Recently read from many sources from the internet on how to increase your AdSense earnings. AdSense is an advertisement program by Google whereby Google AdSense publishers put Google AdSense ads on their domain to earn some cash. I will cut the chase, so here are some of the factors leading to high Google AdSense earnings (and tips afterward):
1. high eCPM (comes with low bounce rate)
2. many impressions
3. put your ads on the left side > to increase CTR > to increase number of clicks
4. expensive keywords
These are some of the points I have derived from many, many sources over 3 weeks, and here are the tips:
1. High eCPM can be achieve through your site from many factors, for example good content, professional layout and such. The other factors are not so relevant so I won't be stating it down, but theres another factor which is equally as important as your content itself: bounce rate. Low bounce rate = higher eCPM. I have seen it with my own eyes; 1 day I had like 100 page views, low bounce rate, so theres high eCPM which earned me 8 dollars. However, another day, I had 200 page views, but VERY HIGH bounce rate, so theres little eCPM which earned me only 6 dollars. So how to reduce bounce rate? Convince visitors to click on a link to read more of your stuff. If they click at least once on your page, bounce rate will be much lower than them not clicking at all. Here's a site which tells you just how to convince them to 'click here to read more', expandable posts
2. Many impressions. This one is about marketing your site. Just use yahoo answers and twitter to quickly market your site out, if you are just a simple blogger like me of course
3. I just did a research 'just now', and I found out how to make visitors notice more of your Google AdSense ads: put your Google AdSense ads on the left. Visitors often skim through many bloggers' posts to get information in a short time, and they do that by reading the first few lines of each paragraph of the posts. This heatmap shows exactly where visitors often look at the website, so heed this little picture carefully, it may change your earnings from cents per click to dollars. By exposing more of your Google AdSense ads to new visitors, there will be higher CTR, resulting in more clicks on your ads, earning you more Google AdSense money!
4. Use expensive keywords. Some of them are related to 'asbestos lung mesothelioma' or 'auto insurance', but since they are so hard to use, you can use keywords like 'domain registrations' or 'buy a domain name' for simpler solutions. Lists of expensive keywords can be found all over the web, so just go search for one, or you can read my version of expensive keywords here.

Google AdSense Marketing For Serious Bloggers
Earning on the net does not only pertain to selling tangible products and information products but there are also other means. I'm sure this is not new to you when I talk about making money through blogs. Many bloggers have actually been making lots of dough from their blog sites. Some may have started as a hobby and later became a business that generates good income. With the information that you post on your blog, you can have Google AdSense and eventually make passive income out of it. However, this is not as easy as it may seem. It won't make you an instant millionaire contrary to what some "experts" may be saying.
Yes, there is really a high earning potential in this advertising scheme but you need to employ the right Google AdSense marketing techniques in order to maximize the potential.
It must be considered like any other business wherein you must also put in efforts in making it work for you. Thus, any serious blogger needs Google AdSense marketing if they want to monetize his or her blog site. Without an appropriate plan, I don't think you can easily generate income. Making money with AdSense is absolutely not impossible. You can even have it as your main source of income, if you only explore all its facets and creatively make money out of it.
Google AdSense marketing must be geared towards the delivery of quality contents in your site. You have to be mindful of what you write about since the ads that will appear on your web pages are dependent on the keywords that you will have on your posts. If you have a keyword-rich content, it will attract appropriate ads that will most likely be aligned to the interests of your visitors. For those who are contemplating on establishing their own online presence and create a blog, it is always better that you get your own domain name and have your own web host.
This is much better than settling for free blog sites. You can do Google AdSense marketing with much ease and freedom if you have everything on your own. It will be easier for you to edit your blog and design it the way you want it to appear. Unlike in free blog sites, there may be limitations on how you should design your site. If you have full liberty over our blog site, you can freely design it in accordance to your Google AdSense marketing plan. It is not only the content that is the main key to increase website traffic but the design also plays a vital role in this case.
The better the design, the more internet users will be attracted to visiting your site. So, no matter how good your contents are, if you have a lousy webpage design or layout, I don't think people would love to visit your page again. It must all come in one complete package, don't you think? I've known a lot of good writers maintaining their own blogs. Only that, they don't employ good Google AdSense marketing that's why they are not really able to monetize their sites. If you think you are on the same boat with these people, you have to right away review how you are managing your website.
Remember, you must post quality contents on a daily basis and create a well-designed site. Having all these main factors will surely lead you to become a successful and rich blogger. to see more about blogging click makecoolmoney.com

What Are the Most Profitable AdSense Topics?
By Victor Awo
Prominent in all AdSense newbie's mind is money. It's all about how much they're going to make and how quickly they're going to make it. This is the completely wrong approach to take towards AdSense, however, it is useful to know what kind of keywords gets the highest paying ads and what kind of topics are the most profitable.
During the process of planning an AdSense website it is essential to have all the necessary information at hand and it is important to have a good understanding of Google AdSense. AdSense is essentially the most popular Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising scheme on the web. By applying through Google you get subject related ads delivered to your site, which make you money a little money every time they are clicked.
So if you are aiming to create a website solely to make money using AdSense it is essential to know which topics are likely to make you the most money. But be warned... knowing this doesn't necessarily mean that they will make you money but more about this later.
There are many lists on the web displaying some of the highest paid AdSense keywords. Here's a compilation of some of the best lists showing the highest paying AdSense keywords:
Selling structured settlements - $64.81 (CPC)
Cash for structured settlements - $63.87 (CPC)
Auto insurance quotes Florida - $62.57 (CPC)
Auto insurance quotes California - $57.01 (CPC)
Consolidate school loans - $45.94 (CPC)
Mesothelioma Lawyers - $45.48 (CPC)
Best home equity loans - $45.14 (CPC)
*(CPC) Cost-Per-Click
We can see from this list some of the highest paying keywords are highly specific for subject and location. If you have no knowledge of selling structured settlements you are not going to have much success building a website based on the subject. Also it's highly unlikely that you will get these types of ads anyway, as most of them are only delivered to websites from certain to countries and regions. But the list does give you an indication of the type of keywords that get the highest paying ads.
There's another list showing the most profitable AdSense topics. These are general topics that get reasonable well paid ads but also gets much more clicks. They are sought after, popular topics that are more likely to get clicked rather than the specific ads of the highest paying keywords. Here's a list of the most profitable AdSense topics:
Insurance - $17.41(CPC), 49,893(Clicks/Day), $868,645(Cost/Day)
Hotels - $03.52(CPC), 200,636 (Clicks/Day), $706238(Cost/Day)
Films - $02.88(CPC), 183,044(Clicks/Day), $527,166(Cost/Day)
Home - $03.89(CPC), 102,282(Clicks/Day), $397,878(Cost/Day)
Cars - $05.09(CPC), 52,069(Clicks/Day), $265,033(Cost/Day)
Schools - $04.13(CPC), 60,913(Clicks/Day), $251,570(Cost/Day)
Credit - $08.67(CPC), 25,705(Clicks/Day), $222,862(Cost/Day)
Software - $03.23(CPC), 61,259(Clicks/Day), $197,868(Cost/Day)
Mortgage - $13.03(CPC), 12,172(Clicks/Day), $158,601(Cost/Day)
But what can we do with these lists? What do they really tell us?
The lists tells us that some Google AdSense ads pay very well per click but those that pay the most tend to be very specific and specialized. It also tells us that there are more general topics that are more profitable due to their popularity. But what it doesn't tell you about is the competition within these topics.
Having an idea of the competition is crucial for anyone hoping to make the best out of AdSense. This is because the essence of AdSense success is website traffic. Everyone with a vested interest in a particular topic is vying for every available traffic related to that theme. The more traffic you have going through your site, the more clicks you will get on your AdSense ads.
The problem with the list is that all the topics are already extremely saturated. There's a lot of competition within the topics for the best keywords and each topic has more than tens of thousands of sites already catering for them.
So even though insurance related sites get on average more than 49,000 clicks per day, these clicks are already shared out among the best established websites. If you decide to make an insurance related site you can only hope to get small amounts of residual traffic going through it. Insufficient amounts to make any decent money using AdSense.
There is a small benefit, however, in having these lists. It is possible through some hard work to pry out some truly lucrative AdSense niche keywords and themes within some of these general topics. If you have the patience, know-how and will you could discover some small gems contained within any one of these, popular general topics.
Knowing the most profitable AdSense topics doesn't mean that you will necessarily make money off them. It is possible, but extremely difficult to do so. For your site to draw adequate amounts of traffic it has to be unique, brilliant and very well marketed. It would probably have to be based on a niche theme within one of these topics and that would require days, if not weeks of initial research and planning.
To make the most out of AdSense, forget these lists. In many ways they are nothing more than distractions, fueling the profit seeking aspect of an AdSense venture and potentially destroying any possibility of success. The best AdSense sites are those that contain quality content-rich material that are created by passionate webmasters. Not those seeking quick AdSense riche.

How to Increase AdSense Click Through Rate (CTR) - AdSense Tips\
by muhamma
Maximizing the CTR means a lot to a publisher who wants to make money with AdSense.
Making maximum possible money with AdSense depends on three factors:
- Maximizing your CTR (Click through rate)
- Maximizing the targeted traffic
- Maximizing the pay per each click.
The techniques you follow to maximize your CTR can not only increase the user responsiveness but also increases the targeted traffic.
Let's see what Google AdSense Engineers has to say about AdSense CTR:
"Due to the dynamic nature of Google AdSense, fluctuations in your revenue will occur. Your earnings will depend on a number of factors, including the types of ads being served to your pages, the cost per click or cost per impression of these ads, and your users' click through selections. Regarding ad placement - the best ad format varies from page to page. We've observed that, in general, wider ads perform better because of their reader-friendly format. We strongly recommend putting your users first when deciding on ad placement. Think about their behavior on different pages, and what will be most useful and visible to them. You'll find that the most optimal ad position isn't always what you expect on certain pages."
What should you do to increase AdSense CTR?
Webmasters have very diverse views on how to increase CTR. It largely depends upon the the quality of its content, keywords you are targeting, design and layout of your website, placement of AdSense ads, page optimization and various other factors. Generally, AdSense blocks wrapped between the quality content works the best. For the websites having poor quality content, placing the Ads before the start of the content works best.
*Quality Comtent: If you develop a poor quality content website, even if you have high CTR and clicks, you will be getting low priced ads and also nobody will like to add your url to their favorites. But if you have quality content, that keeps the visitors glued, even if you get a little low CTR (not that you will), but you will be getting high priced ads and regular visitors, too. So the bottom is concentrate on providing quality content that provides value to your visitors. For AdSense, quality content is the king.
*Proper Ad Positioning: Proper positioning of ads on your website has direct impact on your CTR. Change the location of the ads and watch changes in your CTR regularly. Try to locate the area of the page where the focus of the visitor can be. Generally, AdSense ads near the quality content or other crucial areas like navigation bar tend to perform better. But it really depends upon the keywords you are targeting, and the traffic you have.
* Right Ad Formats: As the Google engineers say, more user friendly ads, more widespread tend to do better than towers and others. But you have to decide what work best for you based on your site layout, design etc.
* Right Ad Colors: The colors you use for your AdSense Ad Units also affects the CTR. As a rule you have to use those color that will make the Ads look like an integral part of your content. Blend in colors are often recommended. For more information see our article "How to Optimize AdSense Ad Colors"
Tweak and Experiment
Experiment and experiment a lot, till you are satisfied with the tweaks you have done to achieve highest CTR. Track your page performance by making channels of ads in your AdSense Control Panel and experiment till you are satisfied with your CTR. Though, each such experiment will make you loose money for a day or two, as Google may take time to adjust with new changes, but it will be beneficial in long run.

What Are the Best Niche Topics For AdSense Sites?
By Victor Awo
This is a question that has been asked again and again by many upcoming publishers. But the answer to the question isn't as simple as one might expect. Adsense niche topics are rare often difficult to find (some webmasters spend months, researching, writing content etc...). They are also very difficult to define. They are as elusive as they are precious. An AdSense niche topic can be a potential goldmine especially one that has some longevity.
Due to their precious nature people are reluctant to divulge information relating to AdSense niche topics. No one wants to add a whole armada of competitors to an already squeezed but lucrative theme. However, there are trends that people can use to get a measure of a potential AdSense winner.
Firstly, AdSense doesn't work well on religious, political or personal sites. There just isn't enough advertiser competition in these areas to make it worthwhile. For instance, you can build a quality site like mydogjoe.com but you are not going to get any revenue if you are only getting two visitors and one sole advertiser. But again there are exceptions.
You can alternatively decide to build a large quality niche site on Greek myths for example and become an undisputed authority on the topic. With this you can get a reasonable level of traffic going through your site. Even if the quality of advertisers are poor relating to a particular topic, you can still generate a reasonable amount of AdSense income if you have a reasonable number of visitors passing through your site.
Secondly, sites that have a commercial edge have normally worked well with AdSense. These sites can be based on themes that focus on a range of popular offline products and services such as insurance, health and high end technological products. Advertisers are normally clambering over themselves for the best AdSense publishers and they more than willing to pay that extra bit to out compete their rivals.
However, finding a true niche in this area is nearly impossible, simple because it is extremely saturated. Nearly every conceivable niche has been filled already. But you never know... the fact is that a good AdSense niche topic can be found in any field.
There is no such thing as a definitive list containing the best AdSense niche topics. And if someone claims to have one, don't trust them. The best way to find the ideal AdSense niche topic is to discover one yourself.
To do this properly you have to do some quality research which requires a lot of work and dedication. But it is well worth the sacrifice, considering the potential payoff. You can use Google's keyword search tool (which is free if you sign up for one of Google's services) to find out about the keywords related to some niche themes you may be interested in. Google's keyword tools also gives you an idea of the number quality of the ads that are related to your themes of interest. You can then use the information you have gathered to isolate profitable AdSense niche topics.

To do this properly you have to do some quality research which requires a lot of work and dedication. But it is well worth the sacrifice, considering the potential payoff. You can use Google's keyword search tool (which is free if you sign up for one of Google's services) to find out about the keywords related to some niche themes you may be interested in. Google's keyword tools also gives you an idea of the number quality of the ads that are related to your themes of interest. You can then use the information you have gathered to isolate profitable AdSense niche topics.

AdSense Earnings - Eight Ways to Improve Them
By Liz Canham
If you are a webmaster and you want to earn through your website without actually having to sell anything then AdSense is the best way to do it. There are many webmasters toiling away in an effort to earn a significant daily income but at the opposite end of the spectrum there are the "masterminds" who are bringing in hundreds of US Dollars or Euros or GB Pounds a day from the AdSense ads on their pages. So what is the difference between these two differing types of website owners? The successful ones read and act on the tips which Google itself offers to webmasters as well as thinking of their own ways of improving their AdSense performance.
Here are five tips which have helped many website owners to improve their AdSense incomes and continue to do so.
1. The ad format which seems to work best for the majority is the Large Rectangle (336 x 280). Statistics show that this size has the tendency to result in higher click through rates (CTR). If you are wondering why this particular size and shape works the best, it is probably because, properly placed and blended with the site and the advertisements having relevance to the content of your pages they will attract visitors to click on them.
2. Google offers you the facility to create a custom colour scheme for your adverts, so select colours which reflect the background, font colour and design of your pages. If your pages have a plain background then use that colour as the background of your ads; use the same colour as your normal font-face and don't use a border for your ads. If, however, you are using a content management system such as PHPNuke, many of the templates for which use boxes with borders to divide the different parts of the pages, then use the same coloured border for your AdSense advertisements.
3. Placement of your Advertisements is very important. As much as possible, put them "above the fold", which is basically above the point on the visitors screen where they have to start scrolling down. This makes them immediately visible because many visitors won't bother to scroll down to see the whole page.
4. Some websites offer you the opportunity to insert your own AdSense code into articles or reports which you submit. Make sure that you keep your ads up to date on the better of these sites and if there's a choice, try to make sure that your ads are the prominent ones.
5. Save yourself some time by using SSI (or server side included), if your server supports SSI. You just need to save your AdSense code in a text file, "adsense.txt" and upload it to your root directory. Then utilising SSI, call the code to the pages where you want it. This is really handy for those webmasters who use automatic page generators to populate their site.
6. The points above have helped many webmasters to earn a generous income from AdSense. To ensure that they work for you, make sure that your site has a tight niche so that the people visiting want to be there and the advertisements provided by Google fit your subject matter. Thus, your visitors will have an interest in the adverts and want to click on them.
7. Don't forget that there will be loads of pages on the internet covering the same subject as yours, most of which will contain AdSense, so take a look at these sites and see what the ones with the highest ranking have, that yours doesn't.
8. Lastly, test and try your AdSense placement and colour schemes, using the Google "channel" facility. This will help you make sure that you are using the optimum adverts for your particular website.
Follow these tips and watch your AdSense income improve.
