We've all heard of those people who are making 'big money' with
Google Adsense, but it is not quite as simple as creating a site and
slapping on some Google Ads and waiting for the money to roll in. Here
are some tips to increasing Blog revenue with Adsense.
-
1
Pick a topic to blog about. The process of making
money will start way before you make your fist penny, it needs to start
with a clear strategy. A website/blog will only be popular if a) it's a
topic people are interested in b) it is written well c) you are
knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. There is money in scrap
metal, but if you know nothing about it, leave it alone!
-
2
Research the market. Are there 100 other blogs out
there doing the same thing? If so are they making money? And if you are
thinking of implementing advertising (like Google Adsense) are people
buying keywords in your field? Ask yourself, am I unique? If the answer
is yes, ask yourself why no one else is doing it! If no, ask how you can
do it better than the competition, or at least equally as well.

Set up a blog. There are plenty of sites - WordPress,
blogger are good for beginners, or you could even create your very own
with unique domain name; 123-reg.co.uk and moonfruit.co.uk are
easy-to-use site builders and domain registration sites.

If starting from scratch, pick a good domain name.
For example if you are a car expert called Mike Brown, calling your blog
'www.carexpertblog...' rather than 'www.mikebrownscarblog...' will
increase likelihood of your blog being found in search engines for
relevant organic terms. Use this knowledge too when choosing page
titles.

Traffic driving. This article may seem to be missing
the point so far, however, believe me these stages are most important if
you are ever going to make money with Adsense (or any other ad stream).
Traffic is key! Adsense works on click through, if you have 100 people
visit your site and have one of those click on your Adsense ad, have
1000 visitors and it figures you may get 10 clicks...

Make money from your site. Once you have traffic you
can start to make money, that is if you have followed stages 1,2 and 3,
and you know there is money in your market. As this article is about
INCREASING your blog money with Adsense, it refers to the fact there are
other ways to make money with a blog. You may want to consider offering
advertisers links, banners, advertorials, recommendations, access to
your readership database through newsletters, or social media benefits.
Advertisers are more and more looking to connect with niche markets and
across social platforms, so make yourself a respected voice in your
niche so advertisers cannot resist connecting through your site.

Adsense. Now down to the nitty-gritty, you need to
implement Google Adsense by setting up an account (Google 'Adsense') and
set up an account if you don't have one already and the simple stages

Please see Tips later on!

Making the most of adsense. You need to have it near
the top of the page, many find leaderboads, or right-hand sidebar ads
work best. You need to make sure you have the right settings within your
account so the adwords are relevant, I have had some clangers in the
past, 'Thai Brides' available on one of my relationship counselling web
pages!! So monitor your adverts and their relevance.

keywords you want to be selling.
