AdSense Reborn?

By: Mark Thompson

Many people have said that Adsense was dead, I personally disagreed with this although I have severely cut back on the number of Adsense site I have. Less than 18 months ago I had in excess of 1.5 million pages indexed all with Adsense on them. I was earning almost $5000 per month. Now I have less than 20 sites. This was partly because my income per 1000 clicks for Clickbank is 20 times more than I get for Adsense clicks.

So how come I am starting to create sites with Adsense once again?

In the past few days Google Adsense have changed the clickable area of the ads, you'll now find that just the title and the URL are clickable and the background and description aren't. This will have a negative effect on your CTR if you have your ads blended into your site as you'll get far fewer accidental clicks.

I believe that Google's long term plan has been to make the content network a much better place for advertisers to place their ads. These changes to the ads will ensure that there are fewer accidental clicks so advertisers will make more profits from the ads. Greater profits mean more adverts.

These changes should mean that the value of the clicks will increase as there will be more competition for adverts. Publishers who create higher quality sites will be rewarded by a lessened effect of smart pricing. These changes seem to be of benefit to both advertises and publishers.

If you have an Adwords account you'll have noticed that many of the recent changes have been targeted at getting people to advertise on the content network. The more that do the better it will be for quality publishers.

To take advantage of this coming upsurge in Adsense you should start to build good quality sites with unique content. Start with finding niches that have lots of competing advertisers and good traffic. Then find a good quality domain name with no hyphens and make sure it's a dot com.

By combining free tools like GTrends from Wordtracker and Google's Keyword tool along with bulk domain availability checkers, you will find lots of great domain names that have organic traffic from the start.

You next need to create content for both the site and to distribute to generate traffic. I am not going to pretend that it's easy but by spending time on each site and making sure that you build the traffic up you can soon start to generate a decent income from each site. Set yourself a target figure for each site that can either be visitors per day or daily income and focus until you reach it.

Don't be tempted to place lots of ad blocks on your page. This will only have the effect of reducing your income. Google displays the highest paying ads first down to the lowest. so you may have a $2.50 ad and also 3 $0.05 showing. But by just having 1 ad block displayed in the right place you ensure that the highest paying ads are displayed.

If all this sounds like too much work for $10 a day then you are missing one important fact. Good quality AdSense sites have a high resale value. Usually 6 to 10 times the monthly income. After a few months it is possible that you will have a site that you can sell for over $1000 dollars. Consider creating sites with the sole intention of selling them along with ones you intend keeping.

Don't believe the hype adsense is not dead and it's making a comeback
