Placing images with Adsense

If you do a lot of research on the internet for Google Adsense sites, you will see that a lot of people now place images next to the Adsense

For example, an Adsense Leaderboard unit of 4, may have 4 small images above it. This has been mentioned in a lot of forums that it increases the click thru rate of Adsense. I myself have tested this and after 2 weeks of monitoring, the results are postive.

I think the reason for this is that, the images draw attention around that area and some times the visitors looking at that area, overlook that it is an advert.

This is a good example of taking advice from forums and acting on them. Notice that I took the advice and tested it. Don’t take all advice as real. Test and test and test.

How To Drive Traffic To Your Adsense Sites

I’ll need to use several sections to talk about driving traffic to your Google Adsense sites. I’ve filed these in the category Google Adsense sites, so you can refer back to them. Let’s get started.

One of the biggest problems with driving traffic to a website or a blog is when the topic is boring and the market which has interest is small. For example, how to smoke 2 packets of cigarettes per day may be a niche that is very small. People are all trying to give up smoking as you can see from all the information products on giving up smoking. Coming up with something the exact opposite may not work too well.I could be wrong though but I’m not going to try.

To research on the topic, you can use a niche which you are interested in and search for it using the Google Search Engine. If there are millions of results for the keyword then you know that lots of people are interested.

Next, you look at the Adwords on the right hand side and see if there are many for the keyword phrase. After all, we’re all trying to make an income from Adsense. One of the tools which you use is WordTracker which I highly recommend. http://www.onlinemoneymachine.com/keywords

Wordtracker can be used to find good related keywords related to your niche, and you can use these keywords to further determine if the subject of your website is popular or not. So get to work and start researching on your niche.
