If you are a webmaster, you have probably heard of Google Adsense. Maybe you’re even already winning with it. This article will show you a method to dramatically increase your AdSense earnings.
Google AdSense allows webmasters to place links from Google AdWords advertisers on their web pages by inserting a special code. When a visitor clicks on a link, the webmaster gets a portion of the profit that Google made from the advertiser. The unique feature of AdSense is that the links it generates on your web page are relevant to the content on your page. Therefore, your keywords and topics become very important determinants of the type of links that will appear on your web page.
There are only two factors that determine how much a webmaster can earn from Adsense. The first factor is the number of visitors who click on the links. The more people have clicked on the links, the more you earn. Naturally, this means that the more traffic directed to the website, the more you will earn. This is where most webmasters focus their efforts.
The second factor is the value of the links they clicked on. This is where you can make a big difference to your AdSense earnings and it’s our focus in this article.
Let’s take a look at how this works:
Suppose you have 1,000 visitors to your website and you get a 2% conversion, that is, 20 people clicked on your AdSense links. Let’s say your AdSense links pay you only 50 cents per click. So you win $10 dollars.
Now let’s see how much this same traffic will generate for you if your AdSense links pay you $5 per click. For the same number of clicks, you earn $100. That’s a tenfold increase in revenue!
Well, that makes sense, you said, but how am I going to determine what kind of links appear on my web pages?
Good question!
This is where you’ll need to do some research and here’s a tool to help you do just that.
Go to http://www.pixelfast.com/overture/ and you’ll get a tool that shows you how much each keyword is worth. While this tool is for Overture keywords, we can safely assume that it also reflects keyword values for Google AdWords. Once you have found the keywords with high monetary values, you can optimize your web pages for them. This will increase your chances of these high value keyword links appearing on your web pages.
Some people have done extensive research on Google’s highest paying keywords and found that one or two keywords are worth almost $100! However, generally most keywords are valued between 50 cents and $5 dollars. Some keywords like “internet marketing” can fetch up to $7 and “mortgage” pays up to $10.
These values may change from time to time, but generally hover around these levels. Naturally, this information is priceless and you will have to pay to get it. I feel like it’s worth every penny you paid for it. You can check it out at http://theselfimprovementsite.com/links/top-paying-keywords.html.
And there you have it! A single factor that can radically increase your AdSense income!
