Adsense is great way to monetize your website and make extra money if you are a webmaster. Many webmasters struggle to earn some good money every day through their websites. But then there are some webmasters enjoying making hundreds of dollars a day from Adsense ads on their websites. What makes these webmasters successful is that they think out of the box.

The webmasters who have been there and done it, have some useful tips to share with those who would want to venture into this area. These tips have been successful in greater earnings in the past for webmasters and continue to do so.

These are proven ways on how to best improve your Adsense earnings for your websites.

a) Concentrating on one format of Adsense ad. The Large Rectangle (336X280) Adsense ad is the one format that worked well for the majority of websites. This type of format resulted in higher CTR, or the click-through rates. Why choose this type of format out of the many you can use for your Adsense ads? These ads look like normal web links, and web surfers are used to clicking on them as links. Web surfers may not know that the link they are clicking is a Adsense ad from your site but clicks mean money and that will result in cash for your pocket book.

b) A custom palette for your Adsense ads. Choose the right color that will showcase well with the background colors of your website. If your website has a white background, use white as your color for the Adsense ad background and border. The whole idea behind the patterning of the colors are to make the Adsense ads blend with rest of your web pages. Again, This should result in a lot more clicks from web surfers visiting your website.

c) Remove Adsense ads from the bottom locations of the web pages on your website and place the Adsense ads at top locations. Do not hide Adsense ads, place them where web surfers can see them quickly and you will be amazed to see your earnings increase just by the new placement of the Adsense ads.

d) Maintain links to other relevant websites. If you think some the websites are better off than the others, place your ads there. If there is already lots of Adsense ads on that site, place your ads above of all of them. That way web surfers will see your Adsense ads first when browsing that website.

e) Automate the placement of your Adsense ad code into your webpages using SSI (or server side included). Check with your web administrator if the server supports SSI first. How to do it? Create and save your Adsense code in a simple text file, save it as “adsense text”, and upload it to your web server in the root directory. Using SSI, call the code on other webpages. This is a great tip and a time saver especially for webmasters using automatic webpage generators to create webpages for their website.

These are some of the Adsense ad tips that have worked very well for webmasters who want to generate hundreds or thousands on their websites. It is important to know though that Adsense ads are displayed because it works with the interest of the web surfers viewing these ads. So focusing on a specific topic should be your main purpose because the Adsense ads will be especially targeted on a topic that web surfers will be viewing already and are interested in that topic.

Note also that there are many other Adsense sharing the same topic as you. It is best to think of making a good ad that will be somewhat different and unique than the ones already done. Every clickthrough that visitors make is a point for you so make every click count by making your Adsense something that web surfers will definitely click on.

These tips given by webmasters who have boosted their earnings are just guidelines that they want to share with other webmasters. If they have somehow worked wonders for some, maybe it can work wonders for you too. Try these tips out on your Adsense ads and see the result they will bring. Others have made money with these tips why not you.
