5 Effective Tips to Increase Google Adsense CTR

How to make more money with Google Adsense? Get more clicks on ads. We all want to increase Google Adsense CTR i.e. click through ratio, because the higher times the surfer clicks the Adsense ad, higher is the payout to you. So here are 15 effective ways to improve your Adsense CTR.

How to increase Google Adsense CTR?

• Post Adsense ads them on text rich pages and make sure that Adsense had a bunch of keywords to work with. Getting Higher paying keywords is better of course.
• Get rid of public service ads, which pay you nothing for your efforts. Here are some ways to avoid getting PSA’s.
• Avoid titles like the approved ‘Sponsored Links’ and ‘Advertisements’ above the Adsense ads. Why do you want to tell the world they are ads when google already puts ‘Ads by Gooooogle’ with them. These two terms are the only ones allowed by Google TOS. Any other terms will get your account terminated. Remember to avoid these 15 Adsense mistakes.
• Use section targeting – you can target an ad unit to a specific section of your blog, as well as block out irrelevant sections like navigational links. Useful to get more targeted ads.

What is the best Google Adsense Placement for CTR?

• Place Ads above the fold, i.e. you dont have to scroll down to see the ads. Moreover it loads before your entire page does. The more the visibility, the more chances a reader will click the ad.
  
• Provide some free space around ads so that they stand out and users know where to find them. Dont clutter up the ads inside your content.
• Experiment by changing the location of advertisements. Track them by channels to see which location works. Sometimes unusual locations can can do wonders for your CTR. Google Adsense support provides some good ideas for better blending
  
• Many experienced Adsense users have reported better CTR with vertical ads rather than the horizontal ones. But that really depends on your site structure.
• Usually it is recommended to place towers on your right, as users tend to use the mouse to scroll the bar on the right side wiht a higher chance to see your ads. Some have reported doubling CTR’s by placing towers to the left rather than the right, as people have got bored of seeing ads on the right, it has something to do with the sidedness of the brain which I do not understand and there is a tendency to read from left to the right.
• Many sites will have small ads in the top right hand corner, as they claim it is the first place where the eye sees.
• An excellent article on Eyetracking – What We Saw When We Looked Through Their Eyes helps to tell you where users actually see first and in what order.
• Forums are tricky becasue they have a different kind of navigation, readership and participation. Here are some ad placements suggested by Google which work best for forums
  

Best Google Adsense Link Colors to get higher CTR?

• Match the colors of your ads with the colour scheme of your site. Blending with your sites color profile helps to identify them not as ads, but as links similar to those of your site. The more the AdSense looks like part of your site, the higher CTR you will get. You can also match the Adsense fonts with your website font design for great results.
• Blend ads with your page – remove the borders by having a similar color as your background helps to show ads as being part of your site. Do not blend text or the ‘Ads by Gooooogle’ with your background color as it is against Google TOS (Google does not like hidden text!). However, such blending may not work for you always due to banner blindness. Neither do they see the ads, not do they click on them. So sometimes a bold contrasting ad may work better depending on your website design.
• Experiment by changing the colors, background of advertisements. You have to find out what works best for your site, not others. You can also rotate Adsense colors to reduce ad blindness.

" IIT Fee " rise by Rs 40,000 per annum

 

The standing committee of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Council which meets in Mumbai on November 5 is expected to recommend raising fee from RS 50,000 to rs 90,000 tuition fee of undergraduate programme
The development comes as an empowered task force is still considering the details for implementation of the Kakodkar Committee which had in 2011 recommended a steep hike of Rs 2-2.5 lakh per annum from the existing Rs 50,000.
According to sources, as the task force is in the process of deliberation, the directors said the reason of raising the fee by RS 40,000  per annum as an "interim measure". The Kakodkar Committee constituted by the Council of IITs had suggested the four-fold increase in tuition fee to help IITs attain financial independence.

IIT-Bombay accepts percentile formula for JEE 2013

   IIT-Bombay on Wednesday formally approved in principle, with just one recommendation, the 20 percentile formula for the IIT-JEE 2013 that had been announced by the IIT Council last month. The senate of IIT-Bombay met on Wednesday to take an overall view of the new formula that the IIT

Council had approved on June 27.

After wide ranging discussions on different aspects, the senate made only one recommendation that number of students filtered for the advanced exam should be around five times the number of IIT seats. The Council had proposed that 1.5 lakh students be screened for the advanced exam. The IIT-Bombay senate suggested that around 50000 students should be filtered for the JEE advanced exam.

“There was a lot of debate on why there should be 1.5 lakh students for the advanced exam. Now that NITs are not part of the advanced exam, we all suggested that the number should be less, essentially five times the number of seats, which comes to around 50000,” said Prof Narasimhan, All India IIT Faculty Federation President.

After a lot of protest from the faculty on the older proposal in which weightage was given to school boards, the Joint Admission Board of IIT had proposed a compromise formula in which only the top 20 percentile candidates in boards could be eligible for IIT exam next year. This recommendation was later accepted by the IIT Council.

But even after being accepted by the Council, this had to be also approved by the senates of the traditional IITs. While IIT-Madras was the first to meet and accept the new pattern, after IIT-Bombay, IIT-Kanpur is meeting on July 28 to discuss it. IIT-Kanpur senate had earlier protested vociferously against the first proposal that was mooted by the government in which a weightage was given to the school boards. They had also decided to have a separate exam next year. IIT-Delhi later joined the rebel league and decided to have its separate exam next year.

The new  pattern will be two tier—JEE(main) and JEE(advanced). The JEE(main) will be a screening exam and will filter out the top 1.5 lakh candidates for the JEE(advanced). The JEE(advanced) exam, which will be conducted by IITs will be held 4-5 weeks after the JEE(main).

The final ranking in the JEE will depend on the All India Rank in JEE(advanced) subject to the condition that such candidates are in the top 20 percentile of their respective boards.

Low quality products should never be promoted through spamming and illegal blackhat techniques or one will face serious loss of reputation with fatal repercussions.

Make money selling ad spaces on your blog

Blogs dedicated to promoting high end products are sure to attract the attention and interest of marketers who would like serious audiences for their products on their sites. Selling banner ad spaces on blogs for a niche product with promise of diverting good amount of organic traffic will bring one a handsome chunk of income. The share of revenue will be comparably higher than Adsense as Ad networks sell the advertising space on blogs at about a whopping discount of 90% to marketers owing to profuse amount of selling space available with them. The potential advertiser should be allowed to offer their best price to fetch higher revenue and make money without adsense.

Make money by writing paid reviews at your blog

Millions of people across the globe read blog posts every day. A company can generate tons of qualified traffic and have the spotlight on its products when it pays for paid reviews to be posted in context sensitive blogs pertaining to their niche products. This triggers word of mouth advertising, enhances link popularity, brand credibility and product exposure and also provides a chance to understand peculiar consumer tastes and behavioral trends. Ultimately the product page experiences a significant rise in search engine rankings.

One can earn amounts equivalent to that of adsense and this is slowly turning out to be a better alternative to make money without adsense.
