2.Preparing Your Site for Ads

How much traffic does your site receive per month? How
many are unique visitors and how many are returning?
What keywords are you using? How high does your site
rank in the search engines?

Being successful with AdSense goes hand in hand with
website success. The better your site is organized and the
higher you’re ranked, the more visitors you have. The more
professional of a job you do, the more you’re going to see
success with AdSense. There are ways to construct your
site and things you can do to bring more visitors and keep
those same ones returning. Also, there are things you can
do to make more visitors click through your AdSense ads.

Know your traffic stats and your search engine rankings.
Those are the numbers you want to improve and the first
steps to success with AdSense. It’s time to start your own
SEO campaign. You won’t see the results over night, but
you will see them.

3.Use the Best Software and Tools

Let’s start with the basic design of your site. Don’t take
shortcuts or look for quicker ways to put it together that are
going to ultimately result in a poor site design or bad
content. Being an amateur is no excuse for poor quality.

7Do your research. Stay on top of products and software that
will benefit you and your website. After all, if you walk into
a clothing store and all the clothes are hanging from
clotheslines, are you going to buy anything there? What
about if all the clothes are strewn all over the floor? Of
course not. You don’t want your visitors to experience a
similar experience and navigate away after seeing your site.

4.Site Building Software

If you choose, you can use a free template for your site.
However, you want your site to look professional, so look at
some related sites before you decide.

There is also software that can help you design your own
professional site with little or no HTML skills. Programs like
Microsoft FrontPage make it easy. If you aren’t going to hire
someone to do your site, consider using a professional
template or software. Putting your best effort into doing it
without any help is admirable, but if you fail in creating a
good site, your efforts won’t be rewarded with returning
visitors and a high CTR.

Take the time to do it right the first time. If you don’t have
Microsoft FrontPage, you can always use a professional
template. By signing up for an http://www.bravenet.com
membership, you have access to free professional templates
as well as other useful resources.

5.Site Design

Websites should have a clear, clean design with the focus
being on the information, product, or service you offer. Put
away those fancy backgrounds because they just distract
from the text.

8The content on your site should stand out, not the
background. Any colors you use should be pleasing to the
eye and not clash. Take the time to visit some larger sites
on the Internet for different companies and corporations.
While you may be just one person or a small company, you
should display the same level of professionalism in your
design.

Stick with the traditional light or white background for text.
Other darker colors should be used for side columns and to
dress up the white, not to take over and distract the reader
from what you really want them to notice.

It’s important to remember that you’re bringing the visitor
to your site to read the content, not to be blinded by your
incredible use of color or the beautiful background. So,
focus on the content. Make it visible and make it the focus.

6.Site Content

Your site’s content is very important to your search engine
ranking. If you’re an online florist, do not type online florist
repeatedly on your first page with the hopes of tricking the
search engines into giving your site a higher ranking. You’ll
just be banned. However, it’s very important to have
keywords placed in your legitimate text because spiders and
crawlers will pick those up.

Quality content can help you rank higher in the search
engines, but it also keeps visitors coming back. Site traffic
is not only essential to the site itself and the business it
represents, but also to your AdSense CTR. A certain
percentage of your traffic will ultimately click through your
ads. The more traffic you have, the more visitors that will
click through your ads.

7.Don’t Clutter Pages with Too Much Information

More content on a single page is not better in all cases.
When it comes to how much information you place, there
should be some basic rules in place. Don’t try to jam pack
too much on one page. Different topics should be on
different pages. You shouldn’t have any page so cluttered
with information that it’s hard to read any one thing.

If you have a lot of information that must be put on the
same page, make sure it keeps the readers attention or
gives them a way to easily return to the top, such as with
FAQ pages.

8.Have the Right Amount of Content

At the same time, don’t put too little on a page. Having one
paragraph on a page makes it look like your site has nothing
to offer, and the customer has little to gain by venturing to
other pages. Address the topic of the page and cover it well.

It’s crucial to successful ad revenue to organize your pages
well. If you have ads ¾ of the way down the page, but
you’ve bored the customer before he got halfway down the
page, then you’ve lost ad revenue. For the same reason, if
you don’t have enough information and the customer
doesn’t click through to other pages where there are ads,
again, you’ve lost revenue.

Think of your website as a book. There always has to be
enough to make them turn the page, but not so much that
they know how the story ends after reading the first
paragraph.

This site below doesn’t have enough content on the page to
support Google AdSense. Half the page is blank. The
solution here would be to move the ads up into the content
10or move them to another page. To a visitor, the site looks
like it’s missing something it needs. Besides that, the ads
really stand out as just that: ads.

9.Free Content for Websites

There are sites that will provide you with free content for
your site, including articles, polls, quizzes, etc. You can use
those that relate to your site’s content in exchange for a link
back. Articles and quizzes can draw more visitors to your
site, but remember the content must be quality. If you wrap
up a big box for a Christmas present for someone, but fill
the box with garbage, they’re not going to be impressed.
It’s the same way with content.

Remember that the more quality content you have, the
more your visitors are going to trust that the ads you display
are quality, as well. And the more interesting content you
have, the more keywords you’ll use. It’ll make your site
11more prominent in the search engines. All this translates to
more visitors and a higher CTR with AdSense.
http://www.freshcontent.net and http://www.pollhead.com
are two of many sites that offer free content to Webmasters.

10.Keyword Rich Content

Implement as many keywords as you can into your content.
Crawlers search content as well, and the more popular
keywords you can work in, the better. Remember that you
are going to have a better CTR for AdSense if you have
more visitors. To have more visitors, you must have quality,
optimized content in order to gain, then maintain a good
search engine ranking.
