How Did I Increase Adsense Earnings By 500%
I guess you are wondering if my bold question, “How did I Increase Adsense Earnings By 500%” is true? Well it is!!! And I am still in shock myself! From having a website that made an average of $20 a day, that now makes an average of $100 a day plus, and it is just crazy stuff.
All of those people saying you need to have 100 websites making $1 a day each really made me think that I had pushed my $20 a day website to its limits. Was I kidding myself about making any more money out of one measly website? Should I really be wasting valuable time playing around with Google Adsense ads when I could be building more websites to make more money?
Please note that I cannot divulge exact figures as it might be against their TOC but Adsense rocks!
How Did I Increase Adsense Earnings By 500%
There are some factors that I believe contributed to my Adsense earnings exploding and I am so glad that I made these decisions and take this path. What if I didn’t have the guts or courage to do what I did? What if I had stopped optimizing my Adsense ads because I thought I had reached the best earnings I could get?
These are all scary questions that I am asking myself, because in reality it was all touch and go.
How Did I Increase Adsense Earnings On My Website?
I moved my website into WordPress to Increase Adsense Earnings
This was a huge job and not an easy task. I took a huge risk as I lost pages along the way and it took about 4 weeks to complete thoroughly. I was worried the whole time, but underneath I knew that WordPress was the right content management system for me. At this stage I wiped out my earnings and just trusted myself that they would come back one day.
I bought SEOpressor to help me with Onpage SEO
I bought this amazing plugin called SEOPressor and I cannot believe I did not buy this sooner! This plugin corrected all my bad on page SEO mistakes and helped me get more search engine traffic.
In the screen shot below you can see how SEOpressor works. It actually scores your posts. To my absolute shock, my posts were scoring on an average of 6% and with the help of this plugin I can now tweak posts until they score at least over 80%.
I suppose your asking “Whats this got to do with increasing Adsense earnings?” Well we all know that extra traffic equals more income and earnings. Onpage SEO is extremely important because if you do right, you get delivered targeted AdSense ads which makes your click through rate and your eCPM go up. After all, you are trying to match the ads to the content, which equals more sales. Here is a FREE PDF report from Brian Clark from Copy Blogger called How to write compelling content for the search engines. This will help you get the right traffic.
NOTE ABOUT SEO IN 2013: Yes SEO still works today as the pages I have performed SEO on are still ranking strong and continue to dominate the search results.
I bought Socrates. I was sick of wasting time with free WordPress Themes
I do not want to go too overboard with telling you about the Socrates WordPress Theme as I have done a few posts on the subject before. Socrates has changed my life. Crazy statement, but its the truth. You can now get a free trial of this WordPress theme to check it out for yourself. Get more info from the Socrates Website
Also see Create A Mini Site Sales Page Website With The Socrates WordPress Theme and WordPress theme for SEO and easy customization – Socrates WordPress Theme
I later changed my theme to Thesis and remodelled it to look like Socrates as this is the best conversions theme I have had.
I took advice from the Google Adsense team
Here is a message that that the Google optimization Team sent me:
Our system analyzed 399 pages across your domain, XXXXXX.com, and found only one Google ad unit per page on 397 of your pages. The AdSense program currently allows placing up to three ad units on each page, and we strongly suggest you do so.
Since a large portion of your site is not fully monetized, consider adding any of our top performing units (336×280, 300×250, 728×90 or 160×600) to pages currently showing only one ad in the placements our heatmap suggests:
Below is the exact heatmap that the Google Optimization team sent me.
What steps did I take to actually increase Adsense earnings?
With all the traffic I was getting from my new SEOpressor plugin I needed to optimize my earnings as money was flying out the door.
- I changed my Socrates theme to a 3 column website instead of a two. So it has the content and one column on each side. Exactly how they showed me in the picture.
- I inserted an image ad for the 728×90 ad position.
- I inserted a text ad for the 160×600 ad position.
- I inserted a text ad for the in content 300×250 ad position.
These actions increased my Adsense earnings from around $20 to $30 and sometimes $40. I thought this was great! But wait….the next day I changed one more thing.One small change and it blew me out of my chair!
Please note that I cannot divulge exact figures as it might be against their TOC but Adsense rocks!
My final step to increase Adsense earnings was to simply change the 300×250 ad to an image ad.
I changed the ad half way through the day and got approximately $80.00 which was a record for this website and I knew it could do better because the day was nearly over. The next day I hit a new record of well over $200.00 for one day from one website.
I used to re
ad other bloggers posts about how to Increase Adsense Earnings like Is Google Adsense Making Me Rich by Darren Rowse and think “yeah that would never happen to me”.
Although I cannot show you my whole Adsense account and prove this to you even further, at least you can see the potential. Of course this screen shot might not be real. To succeed and increase Adsense earnings you need to trust yourself and believe that it can happen.
Do not listen to negative people who have failed.

So far I haven’t reached $100 a day, but hopefully with your additional tips I can. By the way, is adsense still good for niche sites? I heard that there were a lot of adsense account band due to niche or snipper sites.

You can also change some of the settings in adsense for example not using the Google+ icons on them and this will help you increase your earnings just because people won’t instantly know its an advertisement, there are other things you can do aswell for example putting your advertisements in places where people would interact with your site but allowing enough room to not cause accidental clicks.

This is a great article on so many levels. Your techniques actually do work and are seriously awesome. I’ve been having so much fun with fixing old blog posts for better SEO/creating new ones. I’ve seen slight increases in Adsense dollars, and I’m sure there’ll be more to come. SEOpressor has also made blogging more fun–I’m definitely challenging myself as I’m writing posts to get an SEO score of 80% or more.
Oh, and, no, this isn’t a sponsored comment or anything like that, I just have really found success in these techniques!

How long will it take to get a brand new site to $100/day?
Given the keyword has your kind of search volume/day

Pete
February 23, 2012 at 2:31 am
Hi Joe,
I don’t speak on behalf of Mitz but I would say the amount of time to get a brand new site to $100/day would depend on how hard you are willing to work on it.
The amount of traffic the site has is a big factor so you would need to spend a lot of time on picking the correct keywords and then SEO and link building to get the traffic for those keywords.
I think the harder you work on the site the quicker it will happen.

However I would love to give it a try.

Unfortunately when you say things seem impossible they never really happen. I have spent years building an Adsense business and analyzed every inch of it. It took me ages to get my first $100 payment just like everyone else. The difference is that I believed it would happen and kept moving forward.
Moving to WordPress is a step forward but you have to do this carefully as it is important to reproduce the URLs and permalink structure. Yours might be something like /%year%/%month%/%postname.html
Pankaj Sharma (
December 28, 2011 at 10:44 am
Yes, I got your point. I have been making hundred through adsense per month (can’t reveal as per T&C of Adsense) But does it happen after moving to wordpress. I dont have any doubt but I am afraid of losing the traffic which I have been getting from other different sources. A lost traffic of a week time might cause a monetary loss of $100 so i am a bit cautious about it.
Need one more suggestion, whether I should be able to customize the theme according to me as I am able to do in Blogger.com ?? Like Placement of widgets and ads etc.
Pankaj Sharma ( recently posted..World MMA Awards (2011) Watch Online
mitz
December 29, 2011 at 5:21 pm
If you can keep the permalinks structure (urls) the same then you will not lose any traffic. Any backlinks you have made will be going to the same pages.
The themes can be customized far more the blogger. WordPress has widgets that can be added to the side bar and also the footer but all themes vary. You can ad ads in but not like in blogger. It is a bit different but WordPress obviously outdoes Blogger.. (WordPress hosted on your own hosting)

Interesting, I take it you made all these individual changes separately, to measure exact effect of each tweak? Correct me please but 6 Adsense banks are allowed per page not 3 as you say? I display 4 and it works for me, but more than anything targeting works well provided you have good on page seo. Ilooked at Seopressor but it seems to do much the same as the free SEO doctor, which takes 2 mins to download. This tool tells me now there are 2 H1 tags on this page for example.

Mitz congrats on your big increase. Have you tried the option to display text or images in the same ad block? I’m curious if I should strictly focus each ad unit to one or the other (image or text). I’ve seen that heatmap before and it surprises me how many people don’t try to alter their ad placements to the optimal position. Google is trying to help because the more we make with adsense, the more they make. Great post.
mitz
November 28, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Hi scott
Yes I have tried both text and image ads. When I did, the results were very different. For example, I needed the 728 x 90 add to be an image only and I needed the 300×250 to be text and image. As soon as I made the 728 banner text ads, might earnings dropped. The ad in the post was the biggest earner but it only did that when the 728 banner existed and was also an image. It was a combination that I needed to keep. Adsense recommend that I keep all of my ads on text and image, but this does not work for me. I now also have a text ad at the bottom of my posts to make sure that my pages get to show the highest paying image ads and the highest paying text ads.
This might not work for everyone, however it just shows how touchy these settings are. If you sit there and do nothing, you will never know.

August 10, 2011 at 10:17 am
I am in the middle of writing a post about traffic now… The 10,000 a day site is more like 12,000 now but the interesting thing is that I have a few sites that have been built with entirely different methods. Some are fully SEO and others are full on promotion methods moving into SEO…
On a brand new website it always depends on the niche…If you were in the SEO, IM, Blogging niche, guest posting and loads of cool content is the go.
If you are in a tech related niche you can still guest post but you can also answer questions in forums. The place where everyone has a problem to solve…
Then for the odd niches like Dog training I would do article submissions, forums, related directories, blogs, link wheels, all for SEO. Go where the do lovers are and bring them back..
The best thing is to have unbeatable content in the first place. Good enough is not good enough as it will not make you stand out in the crowd.
Rob

Definitely not a SEO strategy of mine…In fact I do not even use it for the 12,000 a day website.
I use it for this website but I am usually answering comments on guest posts… I really do not see traffic from them, not to speak of.
As for SEO, I guess it works but I have not proof to what extent as I would need to do only this to see the results. If you are going to comment though it is a must using comment luv to attract the occasional click…
If I had to choose something that works and uses just as much time as commenting I would choose content submission to as many places as you can..
I use commenting for making friends and hopefully subscribers. I think people put too much emphasis on commenting for SEO and the true great thing about commenting is that people see you exist.

So I have been doing split testing for 6 weeks, I have 5 different blogs. Let me tell you:
I cant get the CTR high. I talked with some other webmasters, they have about 5 % CTR, which I find amazing.
it really is the niche your blog or page is in, if it is rather techy, some users use adblocker or have high banner blindness.
my suggestion: do as much splittesting as you can. change your ads avery 2 to 4 weeks to see, what works. try image ads and text ads – see which work better.
i also kicked adsense from one blog, hat <1% CTR, low payment and replaced with affiliate. and now like have 1000% revenue from affiliate, compaired to adsense.
test, test test! colors, size, placement, try other layouts or themes.
and, if your are stuck, try other monetysation .

Great tips. Its amazing how so many of us tend to overlook the advice that ad sense itself gives us for improving earnings.
One thing I haven learned is that it really pays off if you play with your ad sense blocks, change position, colors, image or text and what have you.
For example, on one of my sites, I increased my earning by %50 by simply using only one ad sense block. I do know why that is, but I am sure thats the reason, as I changed it many times while looking at the statues. And every time I changed back to one block, within 24 hours, it was obvious that I was getting more money for each click.

This is true! One reason for one size ad doing better than another is that advertisers have targeted it. Another is that it attracts clicks from targeted users. Some ads are like magnets to certain niches.
I recently increased another one of my websites from $50 a month to $300 by changing the theme and positioning the ads. I also have another that has good ECPM if I could only get some clicks… When I do get a click its great but its getting the clicks that hard… It is a totally different niche though…

Personally, the “6 figure income” from Adsense is a myth. I had several sites run, my CTR was >5% and I made around $5100, Google closed my accounts citing something about possible fraudulent clicks. I was crushed. I worked hard on my sites and figured they were doing very well.
I don’t know if it were bad bots or just Google being “google” but I never received a more concrete answer from them.
My guess is they’d much rather have 5 million publishers earn $1-2 a day than have a few thousand do $100-300 a day
mitz
July 22, 2011 at 8:22 pm
I am sorry that happened to you but the “6 figure income” is very true. You would probably be having it now if your account was not banned. If you made 5100 in the first month then Google would be suspicious as it takes most publishers months to get to their first $100.
what?
July 25, 2011 at 4:57 pm
I meant to say “less than 5%” and my account was opened in 2003. I had $36 in my account and then in 2009 I decided to do more with my adsense account. So I made a few new sites. I started getting $30 a month easily and I refined and worked on it for another year or so. Then in April 2010 I made my first $450 a month, got a pay out for the first time ever (I think I set the threshold myself if I remember correctly) and then the next month got even better, and I worked on it some more, and by the 3rd/4th month I was doing $5100. It varied month to month of course, sometimes it was as low as $3200. December 2010 they banned my account with several others I know of that had accounts and didn’t even do as well as I did. So for a 8-9 year old adsense account, to work over a course of 2 years and increase its earnings and then get banned? sucks!

it was the standard “Risk of invalid click activity” excuse they throw around when they’re not too sure (or can’t prove IMO) if what you’re doing is valid. I was targeting high paying niches and driving organic traffic to those sites. I think at most I got 2300 unique’s per day (but that’s like the MAX, usually averaged around 1500). Now you can imagine how much per click paid if my CTR was sitting at less than 5%. I was doing between $100-$200 a day.

i know, traffic does not equal quality or CTR, what ever.
It just gives man an idea to what extend to expect results.
40 bucks from a 600 unique page just would mean a highly optimized niche or niche blog.
I am struggling for years to get to a good CTR, does not work..
So, if someone says to me “I am doing 5, 50 or 500″ a day, I would like to imagine their clickrate..
the only way for me to imagine such high payments would be large amount of traffic, uniques or pages per visit and specific niche or content.

When you take the 728 away the CTR drops and so does the revenue. It’s a crazy thing…

The more traffic you have the better earnings you get…But if you have the traffic and you are still not get the earnings then you need to test, test, test!
Another thing I suggest is to take notes about all changes you make just incase you do something that reduces your earnings!
It works both ways. You can turn the tap on and turn it off just as easy…
I did end up changing my 300×250 add to both text and image but the image is still showing up…I rarely see text…but at least I gave Google the opportunity to serve me both…

Hi Claire,
I guess it is different for every website, however it just shows how touchy the whole system is. It was like turning on a tap and I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner.
One of the things that held me back was that I thought ads on my website cheapened it. But I decided that if I give my website visitors fantastic valuable content then it would be okay.
This is the most AdSense ads I have ever put on a website and it has not affected the traffic coming in. The website I’m talking about has gone from 6000 unique visitors a day to 10,000 and climbing. My new SEO tactics have helped there.
Another question that I guess people are asking is why give away all your traffic away that has come in the door? But the funny thing is that I am not as I have installed subscribers magnet (which is also at the top of this website on the right), to catch peoples e-mail addresses. I get if plenty of people signing up everyday..

Hey,
Actually the word 500% bought me here. This was really a useful post, very informative. I am really worried about my adsense earning.
I get only $3-4 each day. This might help me to increase, i hope

I actually increased my earnings more than 500% but all the other numbers didn’t sound true. You have to be really careful when changing things and write down everything you do. Because I have also found that you can affect your earnings in a negative way. Do not do too many things at once when testing different things.

Thanks for subscribing affiliate buddy!
I really want to kick myself for not trying all this out earlier.
If you’re only earning a small amount would have you got to lose? If you are you earning a fair amount then you need to keep an eye on your earnings and change anything back if it doesn’t work as soon as possible.

Hey Mitz, not sure if I commented here before, but I really enjoyed this post and I added it to Blog Engage. I took Andy’s advice and got the SEOPressor plugin too. Now I need to tweak the ads like you’re suggesting and maybe I can get similar results, wish me luck.

Hi lleane
Yes I really hate testing and tweaking but it has to be done. I wish you could just slap that adds up the and get the best money possible, but who are we kidding. Who would have thought that moving and add even 1 cm to the left could make your clicks go through the roof!
I am not even sure if I could push my AdSense earnings further because there is such a huge gap between moving them into the wrong spot and moving into the right spot. One little change can alter your earnings dramatically!

That’s so true – especially when you find a spot that works pretty well, it can be hard to try a new spot for fear that it will do worse. I have a site that is promoting primarily ebay with adsense in a prominent spot as well – both were doing well until a new ad style was being used by adsense for ebay! It seemed to be steeling all my ebay clicks so I moved the ad… earnings dropped like a rock for adsense, but never increased for ebay so that was a failed (and costly) experiment.

Does Adsense give you a list of the advertisers going on your site, or do you just trust they are putting appropriate ads on there? I guess if you are generating income, they must be okay, but when I read the response above about low-fat diets I wondered how much control YOU get over the quality of ads.

No..but you can see an advertiser on your website and filter it out…I do not see the need to mess with Googles ways…If you want a particular type of ad showing on your website then you need to write content that will attract and target that ad. If you are getting the wrongs ads it is sometimes because you have not done the correct onpage SEO so Google can tell what your post is about…
I definately end up with the ads I want because I use Seopressor which helps me get the onpage seo right which gives me more money.

If you are getting the traffic, then Adsense is perfect it is like free money. Your site needs to be a PR3 or higher to see any real results otherwise it is not worth it. Besides, it doesn`t hurt to have Adsense on your site even if you`re making only say, 20 cents per day.

Hi Mitz, very nice indeed, and thanks a lot for sharing such great info!
I’ve never really made much of AdSense, albeit its better now for me than ever before. But, although I’m using Thesis Theme and will stick with that, I’ll most certainly be trying out your ad layout on a couple of sites and see what comes of it.
Can’t wait to get started, so I’m off to do that now.
I’ll get back to you on what comes of it, and I’ll also do a post on your post over on my blog and give you link love from that. Also Tweeted your post too.
Cheers Mitz!

Great post.
I did consider doing adsense for my new blog however it seems that the ads might be contradictory to my content as I saw on other similar websites. For instance, if I say positive things about fats, it will come with an ad about low-fat diet whichs I do not support and do not want people who visit my website to click on. So I have ads for affiliate products which I all tried and recommend to other people. Do you think placing affiliate ads the same way you placed google adsense ads might work? I know they actually have to buy the product…But I feel a lot better then using adsense.
mitz
December 7, 2010 at 6:30 am
I think Adsense is suitable for certain websites, but in your case I agree that they might contradict what you are trying to say in your post. I have Adsense websites and I have websites that are solely affiliate websites. It depends what your readers want.
As for optimizing affiliate ads…go for it… I really think that this helps sometimes. It also pays to change ads and try selling different products until you find the one your readers want.
Chris
June 17, 2011 at 1:55 pm
That’s a similar problem I have, I’m still running the adsense ads but the clickthrough rate is terrible – it is just showing the wrong ads for that audience.
I would imagine using google’s heat map for other affiliate offers would work just as well, at least as far as increasing CTR. Conversions are another matter.

I saw your comment on Satrap’s post over at commentluv and thought I would come visit. I do not have ads on my blog but will be doing other sites eventually. This is very interesting as I have heard so many negatives about Adsense.
Also I did have a static website (not up now) where the ads they put on my site were awful. I will bookmark this for future reference. Thanks for sharing Mitz. Much appreciated.
