Here are three Adsense Tips, together with the required HTML code, to dramatically increase CTRs and Google Adsense revenue.
1. Correct HTML Code to Include Images or Graphics Above An Adsense Leader Board Block:
Expert SEO Forums have been abuzz over a new Adsense tip which has seen a dramatic increase in CTR’s.
Many webmasters have reported increases over 400 percent after adding four images, expertly positioned horizontally over a 4 block Adsense Leaderboard, with no border.
I don’t see any reason why this would not work on smaller blocks, but you would have to alter the following HTML accordingly.
Here is the HTML code you should use to align the images directly over the ads — please be cautioned, so as not to breach Google’s TOS, you should not use any other text around these images, apart from the required Adsense code:
[table cellspacing=”0″ width=”728″ border=”0″ cellspadding=”0″]
[tbody][tr]
[td width=”182″][img src=”X” /][/td]
[td width=”182″][img src=”X” /][/td]
[td width=”182″][img src=”X” /][/td]
[td width=”182″][img src=”X” /][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td colspan=”4″]
GOOGLE AD CODE HERE 728×90
[/td]
[/tr]
[/tbody]
[/table]
NOTE: Please do change all [ ] brackets above, to the required HTML brackets < >.
Here is one of the relevant threads at SEO forums that has a clear “graphic” example, with before and after pictures clearly depicting how to add these images:

2. Maximize Google Adsense CTRs using the Competitive Ad Filter to exclude low-paying Blog related URL’s:
Have you ever had days where 50 clicks would pay you the grand total of $1.50 - well that’s the combined power of 3 cent clicks or low-paying Blog related ads. working against you.
This post Maximise CTR with Adsense for Blogs at the Shaolin Tiger blog gives you a good list of around 50 URL’s to include in the “Competive Filter” of a Google Adsense account:
This will naturally filter out the low-paying Ads which Blog software and related domains seem to serve up.
3. Adding a Double Block of Large Rectangle Adsense Blocks at the End of each Post or Webpage
A number of the high-trafficked blogs, add a double block of 336×380 “Large Rectangle” blocks at the very end of a Post or Webpage, just as the visitor is about to leave.
Makes sense - a visitor is about to leave, and has one of two choices:
(a) visit another page on the site, or
(b) click on a high “paying” Google Adsense ad, prior to leaving the site
Serving them with a wide-choice of Adsense ads in the format which is statistically proven to have the best CTR, is an obvious choice. Trialling this placement has made a dramatic improvement in CTRs for the Marketing Defined blog.
So go ahead, use these 3 Adsense Tips to make a dramatic increase in your CTR’s.

If you’re a webmaster, you’ve probably heard about Google’s Adsense. Perhaps you’re even earning from it already. This article will show you a method to increase your Adsense revenue dramatically.
Google’s Adsense allows webmasters to place links from Google’s Adwords advertisers on their webpages by inserting a special code. When a visitor clicked on a link, the webmaster gets a cut of the profit Google made from the advertiser. The unique feature about Adsense is that the links it generates on your webpage are relevant to your page content. Thus, your keywords and topics become very important determinant for the type of links that will appear on your webpage.
There are only two factors that determine how much a webmaster can make from Adsense. The first factor is the number of visitors who click on the links. The more people who clicked on the links, the more you make. Naturally, this means that the more targetted traffic to the website, the more you’ll make. This is where most webmasters focus their efforts on.
The second factor is the value of the links they clicked on. Here’s where you can make a great difference to your earnings from Adsense and is our focus in this article.
Let’s take a look at how this works:
Suppose you have 1000 visitors to your website and you get 2% conversion, that is 20 people clicked on your Adsense links. Let’s assume that your Adsense links pay you only 50 cents per click. So you earn $10 dollars.
Now let’s see how much this same traffic will make for you if your Adsense links pay you $5 per click. For the same number of clicks, you make $100 dollars. That’s a ten-fold increased in revenue!
Well, that makes sense, you said, but how am going to determine what type of links appear on my webpages?
Good questions!
Here’s where you’ll need to do a little research and here’s a tool to help you do just that.
Go over to http://www.pixelfast.com/overture/ and you’ll get a tool that shows you how much each keyword is worth. While this tool is for Overture’s keywords, we can safely assume that this reflects the keyword values for Googles Adwords as well. Once you’ve found the keywords with high monetary values, you can optimize your webpages for them. This will increase your chances of having these high value keyword links appearing on your webpages.
Some people have actually made extensive researches on Google’s top paying keywords and found that one or two keywords are worth almost $100! However, generally most keywords are valued at between 50 cents and $5 dollars. Some keywords like “internet marketing” may fetch up to $7 dollars and “mortgage” pays up to $10 dollars.
These values may change from time to time but they generally hover around these levels. Naturally, this information is priceless and you’ll have to pay to get it. I feel it is worth every cent you paid for it. You can check it out at http://theselfimprovementsite.com/links/top-paying-keywords.html.
And there you have it! A single factor that can radically increase your Adsense revenue!
