As more and more Webmasters signing up for Google Adsense program, there is a strong demand and thirst of knowledge on how can you really make money using this powerful program. First, you have to understand that you can make money using Adsense without owning a website. Websites like Squidoo and HubPages allow you to create a page in their site so that you can tap on their platform to generate Adsense income from there. Having said this, I would strongly encourage you to register your own domain name and get your own hosting if you are serious in making money using Adsense. So what kind of site should you create to make money using Adsense?
Based on my experiences, the best type of site is informational. This kind of website simply shares your knowledge with your visitors in your site when they are being directed to your page from the Search Engines. The second best type of site is based on products. These kind of sites get high Click-Through Rates (CTR) especially during the shopping season. People are more likely to click on the product related links when they are looking to buy something. You may ask what is the best way to increase the CTRs?
Two proven methods to increase the CTRs on your web page is to use the biggest advertisement banner available on your page. My favorite is the square banner which is about 300 pixels wide. This is my best performing advertisement format. The next tip is to place your advertisement on top of your page so that your visitors do not need to scroll down in order to see your advertisements.
Making a good amount of money from Google Adsense is not hard if you know the essential success elements. Do give the above tips a try and I will guarantee that you will see a difference in a month!
