Knowing and Doing
================

Understanding the Google AdSense program is one thing, using it to its fullest potential is another. Review this information to ensure full comprehension of this program because this is the only way you will be able to use Google AdSense to its maximum profit potential. Google AdSense is a program that affords you as its user an added income, it is your responsibility alone to make sure you understand all aspects and components that are part and parcel of the program and apply this knowledge in a way that benefits you, the visitors of your website, Google, and the advertisers on your page.

==================
Common Sense
==================

Using Google AdSense means you are familiar with their terms of service and are comporting your website in accordance with these terms. Google keeps a close watch on websites using this service and does not allow any variance from the defined Terms of Service. Any wavering will result in suspension of the program; you joined this program for monetary gain, it is essential you stay abreast of what is required by Google for you to be able to use this program.

Your site must be informative in nature to be of use to anyone, your visitors, to Google and to yourself as well. You want the information available through your site to have a focused scope. There should be some variety found on your site, but must have a main theme covering all aspects of this site. In turn, visitors will be satisfied with the knowledge content and more likely to explore all aspects of your page. What this means to you is that by having a variety of topics under theme umbrella you are giving yourself flexibility and variety in the ads that can be displayed on your website. The end result is that you will increase your clickthrough rate and earn more with AdSense.

Keywords will literally unlock the earning potential of your website. Understand how they are used and what keywords are best to have referenced to your website. Relevance to the nature of your website, and thusly the ads found there, is what matters. These keywords may found in the URL, the content, the page title and in the ads themselves, so don’t go for expensive keywords because they cost more. Choose keywords that fit within the spectrum of knowledge you are offering on your site; words that are thematically inline with the ads visitors will find on your page to increase your clickthrough rate.

Offer information that is uncommon, or at least a section of information that is specific to a few subsets of information visitors look for. The point of using Google AdSense is that what you have to offer by way of information creates a window of opportunity where advertising along the line of information you offer will provide information, solutions and/or profit for all parties involved with your website; you, the user, Google and the respective advertiser.

Try different arrangements of advertisement to see what works best with your site. These formats can be different from one page of the site to another. The better you understand the program and how to seamlessly integrate it into your website, the more of a profit you stand to make. If you have the same format on each page of your site, that is less engaging to the user, and more easily defines where the ads are on each page. You want to have the ads on each page of your site work with the content found there.

The structure of the ad within your web page should be an amplifier. A visitor to your site should not have to look for the place where you stand to make money.

Have the ad be easily visible, have it appear in such a way that it cannot be ignored, where it will be immediately viewable to the visitor so that it is more likely to pique curiosity and a willingness to click on the link.

The Google AdSense preview tool bar is your friend. This allows you to see how the configuration will appear on your website before you apply it. This is your chance to look at your site with the addition of the AdSense program, and the options and level of customization you have chosen through the eyes of a potential visitor. Take this opportunity to really evaluate the setup you have selected experiment of necessary and try other setups before settling.

Make the most of the tools available to you with the Google AdSense program. These tools are there for you to ensure that you are maximizing the potential of the program. Make this a habit as trends can change and the performance of your site may change along with the trends. Find out what is working and what is not, maybe you could choose better key words, are all your visitors coming from a particular search engine? What can you find out using these tools that will help you make better decisions concerning the use of Google AdSense?

===================
Uncommon Sense
===================

Stay honest in your approach to making money, the purpose of participating in this program is to provide visitors to your website with information and maybe solutions, not to trick them into clicking an ad. This is not something Google tolerates. Nor does Google tolerate abuse of this system by the user. Here are some examples of dishonest practices that will be identified by Google and result in a suspension:

    * Clicking ads on your own website
    * Repeated manual clicks
    * Creating a robot to generate clicks
    * Automatic clicking programs
    * Using dishonest methods to have visitors click on ads

Make your website easy to use and easy to read. This applies to the ads found on your site as well. You do not want to be self defeating by having content that overshadows the ads; their text and URL. You want there to be an ease of viewing all aspects of the site, content and ads alike. This being said, there should be as much uniformity between the content and the ads as possible. Customize the ads to match the rest of your site by altering the size and type of font that the ads display with. Have the color of the text and the background be the same as the rest of your web page. You do not want the ad to preclude itself from the interest of the visitor by sticking out as an outside advertisement, you want the ad to look as at home as the rest of your content.

Keep up with your site; maintain it so it is always fresh and easy to navigate. Remove or update broken links. The information you are providing should be not only useful and focused, but also researched and updated regularly. The ads showing on your web site should correspond with the information provided, and this should be done in depth; per page within your domain. Do not provide information that is illegal or out of date.

Articles found on your site should be original, not plagiarized. Material of an inappropriate, obscene or offensive nature should not be found on your site. Keep your site friendly, informative, up to date, clean, legal and original. Remember Content is the King!!!!! This forum has been listed in Google Adsense in the Top fifth place for earning online only because of its content.]]></description>
