Ways to Increase your Adsense and YPN Earnings.
Introduction


There are many ways you can increase your Adsense/YPN earnings, in this article I will show you a few things you can do to double your Earnings, or even make more that you already make.
Before you start this tutorial, make sure you have Google Adsense, or Yahoo Publisher Network. If you have not signed up for them yet, then go to Google Adsense home page, or YPN’s home page. Both of these services are free, but YPN is under beta testing, so it’s a little hard to get accepted.
1.Get more visitors to your website.
The obvious way to increase your earnings from Adsense/YPN is to get more visitors to your site, There are many ways to get visitors to your website, one of the most used ones in todays world are social bookmarking websites another good way to get more traffic to your website is Buying ads. If you are planning on buying ads, then buy the ads from people in your Niche, as you will get more visitors from people that have similar interests as you do.
Once you get the traffic you need people to stay. People are attracted to new content, so the more content your website has, the more likely you will be to get more visitors. Google, and other search engines also love new content, so if you have a lot of content and publish new content at a steady rate Google bot will stay on your website and index your content more often.
A good thing about bringing more traffic to your blog or website, is that you can get paid for CPM (cost-per-thousand-impression) rather than Cost-per-click (CPC). For example, if an AdWords advertiser might bid $X for 1000 ad impressions. If this ad appears on your site through the AdSense program, you will receive 1/1000 of $X each time the ad appears. This type of ad will only show on your site if it represents more revenue potential than a CPC ad.
2.Proper Ad placement
Ad placement is very important, without proper ad placement your visitors will not see the ads, or they will not be inclined on clicking the ads. The proper way to set up ads is to have a large horizontal banner on top of your website, if you do not want a big banner then get a smaller version, but try to have at banner in your header. Another place to put an ad is in the sidebar of your website. People always look at the sidebar so they can navigate your website, and if they see the ad they might be more inclined on clicking it. And finally, add a banner in the middle or on the side of your posts.
Always remember to keep your ads visible, if your ads are not visible you might as well not have any ads at all.
A great tip a friend once gave me was to try and blend the ads with the background of your website. As you can see on this website, we have YPN ads running and they have a white background, my website also has a white background so the ads blend in perfectly. The reason why blending ads with your website is so important is because it makes your site look more professional and it makes the layout look more ‘clean’, it also makes visitors want to stay in your site.
3.Keywords
Keywords play a very important factor with the ads your website displays. There are hundreds of high paying keywords such as “domains yahoo” and “mesothelioma prognosis” when choosing your keywords ask your self, are they useful? Do they drive traffic to your website? If you are not sure, check in different keyword tools such as Google Adwords, Wordtracker etc.
Always remember to have Keyword rich pages so you can drive more traffic to your blog. The better your keywords are the more likely the Adsense/YPN ads will have content related to your site, if the ads are related to your site then your users will be more inclined on clicking them, thereby gaining you more money.
