A new look for AdSense for content ad units

We're excited to announce a revamped design of three of our AdSense for content ad units! After analyzing publisher site layouts and reviewing requests around the world, we decided to make our formats more space-efficient and visually pleasing by changing the layout of the text. We spent a lot of time experimenting with different possibilities, and we're starting with changes to the following ad units:

• Leaderboard (728x90): the title, description, and URL are now arranged in rows instead of columns (except in the case when only one ad is showing)
• Medium and large rectangles (300x250, 336x280): the URL is now in the same line as the title

In certain cases, you'll also see a few minor adjustments to the font size. For example, the font size for the leaderboard with four ads is much more readable. Please note that these changes will roll out over the next few weeks.

5 Tips For Improving Adsense Referrals Earnings

How do you get more readers to click through and sign up to referrals? Here are 5 tips that I’ve used:

1. Give a Recommendation.

One of the differences between the AdSense referral program and their normal advertising program is that you can actively promote and encourage readers to click your referral links. This is because you don’t get paid per click but only when the reader meets the required action. So no one is out of pocket if you encourage your readers to click or label the buttons as recommendations. In fact if you do recommend the product (genuinely) you’ll increase your chances of conversion as you’re really pre-selling the product (and all affiliate or CPA programs work best with some pre-selling).

Adsense Tips

Google AdSense is a pay-per-click (PPC) program that can give you advertising revenue from each page on your website with a minimal investment in time and no additional resources.

AdSense delivers relevant ads that are targeted to the content people find on your site.

In many advertising networks and websites, including AdSense, the advertiser is charged for advertising their ad only when a user clicks on their ad. How much they pay (for that click) is called their Cost Per Click or CPC.

Here you will find some simple and effective AdSense tips that will increase your revenue. If you haven't already joined AdSense program, you should sign up first.

Now it's time to show you some tips and tricks that will optimize your AdSense ads.

Search Engine Traffic

One of the most effective forms of internet traffic from a captive audience is search engine traffic.

We should all be familiar with how a search engine works these days, a potential customer goes to a search engine, enters in a keyword or phrase relating to the product they are looking for and click the “search” button. What happens next is where the magic happens and where we all want to be – a search results page appears with listings of websites that offer this product.

Getting into the search engine results page is key to building web traffic, the first 3 – 5 positions within the search engines results page are going to attract the most amounts of clicks, further down the page and following pages traffic from the engine drops off dramatically.

Website Traffic

Drive your website traffic through the roof via search engine optimization and submission. Just like a “bricks and mortar” business, marketing and promotion is the key to increase phone calls, foot traffic and sales!

The best way to increase sales and leads from your website is via web traffic. Website traffic comes from a variety of sources on the internet, blogs, forums, email, partner websites and search engines –just to name a few.
