A few months ago, we did a short video on YouTube that covered Google AdSense tips:

It may be due to my doubled traffic and a digg frontpage hit, but your suggestions on ad optimization tripled my income on AdSense. It’s still not a lot of money, but it’s three times a little amount of money which is good.

Digg users seldom bring with them an increase in AdSense revenue for quite a few reasons: (a) they’re largely underage, (b) they’re largely idiots, (c) they’re largely underage idiots, (d) they block ads in their browsers, (e) they hold no staying power in terms of your audience, (f) they have attention spans shorter than a nanometer, and (g) they’re quite predictable.

Digg has power because it drives traffic, not because it drives intelligence.

http://live.pirillo.com/ – What does Chris do for a living? He creates content, and he uses Google AdSense to monetize that content. Thoughtfix in the chat room asked how he could optimize his Google AdSense placement on Ultra Mobile Geek.

There are a few things you can do to really optimize AdSense:

  • Banners generally don’t perform as well as ads inside the content. Instead of using a banner, try a rectangle (300×250) inside of the content.
  • Make sure the background of the ad is the same color as the background color of the content.
  • Keep your ad link color the same as your page link color (if your links are blue, make sure your ad links are blue).
  • Remember that Google AdSense, while advertising, can really be seen as "related links" thanks to the contextually relevant links that Google provides.

Do you have any Google AdSense optimization tips?
