Ad Sensing

How much can i earn from adsense in a month with at least 500 hits per day?

In terms of earning money on Adsense, your mileage varies. One website with 10,000 uniques a day can earn $50 a month while another may earn $5,000. Or a site that receives 500 uniques can earn anywhere from $10 to $1000 or more per month. It is not easy to predict how much you will earn from Adsense. The only way you can learn about how your site will perform with Adsense is through trying it.

The amount you can earn will depend on the

1. Responsiveness of audience to the ads = A travel website that provides information on travel to Spain will attract visitors looking for ways to arrange their travel and spend money on their vacation to Spain. Your site provides the info, but the ads will provide hotels, travel agencies, tourist destinations, car rentals — ads that are likely to get the attention of the users of your site. This is a site that will most likely do well with Adsense. However, if you are a gaming website where the main purpose of the user is to play games on your site, then Adsense will not perform as well.

2. Ad format = some types of ads do better than others depending on your content and layout. In our case, large rectangles in the middle of the content is the best, while leaderboards do not generate as much as income. Skys are the worst for us. Experiment and measure the results via channels and see which formats work best for you.

3. Ad placement – check Google’s heat map as they have tested where the best placements are https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=17954&ctx=en:search&query=adsense+heat+map&topic=0&type=f

4. Ad colors – sometimes ads blended into the content works wonders, but sometimes ads that contrast your site colors work best

5. Number of ad units on a page = we are allowed maximum of 3 ads + 1 ad links + 1 search box on a page. Maximize the allowed number based on the resulting look of your page (you don’t want an overkill of ads). Users going to your page and reading your content may ignore the banner or rectangle at the top of the page, but may click on the ad at the bottom of the article

6. Smartpricing – the big unknown in Adsense. No one knows how this actually works. But it can affect the pricing of the ads on your site. If the advertiser paid for $0.50/click – but your site is smartpriced – then the cost may be discounted lower (e.g. $0.25). So you may try to develop a site based on high paying keywords but if smartpricing gets to you, then you may not get as much per click as what you are expecting from your keywords.

Here is Google’s explanation of smart pricing https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9562&query=smart+pricing&topic=0&type=f

Google’s smart pricing feature automatically adjusts the cost of a keyword-targeted content click based on its effectiveness compared to a search click. So if our data shows that a click from a content page is less likely to turn into actionable business results — such as online sales, registrations, phone calls, or newsletter signups — we reduce the price you pay for that click.

Experiment with the factors above (except smartpricing, which you can’t control), and see which combination works best. Remember though that not all sites do well with Adsense – even if you get gazillions of traffic but your visitors are not interested in looking for ways to spend their money, they won’t be interested in your ads and won’t click.

Any good experiece from other bloggers would be nice. Also any other ways to generate revenue.

Hiya Doc,

I am afraid that the previous answers could not have been terribly helpful for you so I will try to answer your question as best as I can without quoting directly from the adsense site.

If you create a page or website and place Google adsense ads on them then the ads that appear on your website based a a number of factors however the main factor being your page content.

Lets assume that you are wrote a chapter on new diet medicines and assuming that there are plenty of companies advertising on content network (sites like yours and mine) for new diet medicines then these ads should appear on your web page (Another page on another topic would attract different ads).

If you find that relevant ads are being shown on the page in question then you have passed the first hurdle as its important that the ads are relevant. There is a good change that a visitor to that page looking for information on new diet medicine and sees some ad for a new product will end up clicking on the ad.

If you however write about a topic which has few to no advertisers for the keywords in question and you end up getting ads that are only slightly relevant then changes are that you end up getting few clicks.

The placement of the ads on the page is off course also important and Google has released a heat map which shows which ad placements generally give the best click through ratios. You can see that map at the following link: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=17954&topic=8437

Generally ads that are above the fold, i.e the client doesnt have to scrowl down to view the ads, have better CTR. Dont forget to use the adlinks as well as they can bring in many clicks as they do with my sites.

About the size of the ad format and the colors there is not right or wrong answer. Some webmasters see best results when the ads are blended into the content so that they do not appear as ads right away while other website owners see better results with a ad in contrasting colors.

The one thing that most adsense forum users learn is that each site is different so you should experiment with different ad formats and colors and use the channel system to check which ads are being clicked on so that you can see what your ideal ad placement and color scheme is.

I hope that my reply was of help to you and I wish you all the best with your site and adsense.

I have a mobile site. but when i paste the php code of adsense for mobile in my pages. Ads not apeared. I have both types of pages wml as well as html

If you are going to use it for a mobile site, then do the Adsense for Mobile.

Login to your account –> Adsense setup –> click AdSense for Mobile –> Choose format whether single or double –> Choose markup language [wml (WAP 1.x.); xhtml (WAP 2.0);
chtml (imode, etc.)] –> Choose character encoding and colors –> Choose channels –> and then get your code

If you are using the entire complete code and the ads still won’t work, check first the Adsense help center pertaining to mobile websites https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=66871&sourceid=aso&subid=ww-ww-et-asui&medium=link .

If you think you followed all the instructions, contact the Adsense support and request them to check your pages (make sure that your country is one of those approved to use Adsense for Mobile https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=68728&ctx=sibling )

i am trying to do the google adsense, but i need a web page first right? where can i go to do this? i have never made a web page before and i started to make one but i screwed the name up on the website and it won’t let me change it or make a new one. any suggestions on where to go or what to do?

Some sites earn 5 or even 6 digits a month with Adsense, but many more publishers can’t even earn $100 a month

You first need to have a website. The easiest is Blogger.com http://www.blogger.com because it is free and owned by Google. Hence, they made it very easy to use Adsense on the site

Your income will depend on:

– the topic of your site (if you have high paying keywords you stand to earn more)
– responsiveness of users to ad (are visitors coming to your site with blinders in their eye or do they look at the ads as additional complementary resource)
– traffic (you earn more with more traffic, even if you have low paying keywords or other metrics)
– how you implement the ads on your site (some positions and colors work better than others)

I suggest you join the program (you’ve got nothing to lose as it is free) and see how your site will do with it. I’ve been with Adsense since June 2003 and it’s been a GREAT income generating program for us. So for me, Adsense is definitely worth it

In the free web pages of geocities.com shall i use google adsense informations, banners and contents? It is against to the geocities terms of services?

More than whether Yahoo Geocities allow the placement of ads, it is against Google Adsense’s Program Policies to put Adsense ads on the same page as ads from competing companies especially those that mimic the look and feel of Adsense

Geocities free version puts in Yahoo Publisher Network ads — a competing service provided by Yahoo that looks exactly like Adsense

In order to prevent user confusion, we do not permit Google ads or search boxes to be published on websites that also contain other ads or services formatted to use the same layout and colors as the Google ads or search boxes on that site.

Given that free Geocities show YPN ads that look like Adsense, NO — you cannot use Adsense on the free version of Geocities (but you can use it on the paid version which does not show YPN ads)

Hello,
I have a blog and I want to request Google AdSense, however I need to know when do you think a blog is ready for requesting Google AdSense ?

Is there any requirements that the bog must have before requesting ?

Thanks

You can put Adsense on your site from Day #1 if you wish but I suggest you do not. Get some content up there first – all your pages (About Me/Contact etc.) also don’t forget a Privacy Policy page which is an absolute requirement for Adsense – basically telling people how their clicks are tracked etc. You can find generic Privacy Policy pages on the web and I’m pretty sure Adsense wiill give you one too.

Also get at least a dozen good content blog posts up there and get a few backlinks – basic Search Engine Marketing basically. Ask some friends to ‘Tweet’ ‘Stumble’ and/or ‘Digg’ your posts to maybe get some traffic and readers.

My personal theory is that just because Adsense allows you 3 ad blocks per page/post + link blocks DO NOT USE THEM ALL! Google knows when your site is covered with Adsense and I reckon you get marked down in the rankings if you don’t get a lot of traffic. They tread a fine line of wanting the Ad revenue and discouraging auto-bloggers. Bad Auto bloggers invariably cover every square inch of their pages with ads! For example putting Adsense on a Privacy Policy page is just plain stupid!

I like a text block after my introductory text and another in the sidebar. Maybe a Link block at the end of the article/post. If I’m chasing an affiliate sale in a post I won’t use Adsense at all on that page. Why lose a reader for 20 cents when I might get $20 for a sale?

Don’t forget to blend the colors of your Adsense ads to blend in with your site – if your blog’s regular navigation links are, say, #CC6600 make sure your Adsense links are that color too.

I read on thier policy once that you can put third party on your blog with adsense unit in it. So I did put one affiliate ads on one of my blog right next to the adsense ads. It is possible that they can shot down my account to them?

They have changed the Adsense Program Policies to restrict you from showing other ads that look like Adsense. But as long as the ads look different and does not mimic the look and feel of Adsense, you are ok

I am now owning a website and I have Google adsense as my ad. However the ad gives too little money. I post all ads in every page which makes my site a little dirty in someway but still only a few coins per day. So I am thinking to have multiple ads from other companies in my website. Is that violated the Google program or is it OK?

And do you know other companies (containing NO porno) that give more money than Google?

Thanks in advance.

As long as the third party ads do not mimic the look and feel of Google Adsense, you are ok
