3000 Words on Maximizing AdSense Revenue with Hub Pages
95I've written this hub for those of you who want to make a profit with Hub Pages but don't know where to start. I have a long road of web-mastering experience behind me and I've written this article to bring the expertise I have in search engine optimization and writing for web to Hub Pages.
Many of us come to Hub Pages without much knowledge about concepts like SEO and monetization. The task of writing is fun and challenging. I love writing. However in the dozens of writing classes I have taken I've learned that we can't just write whatever we want. It's important to optimize an article so that it flows well, reads without grammatical errors, and offers readers a unique perspective. The thing I didn't learn was that when writing for web it's as important to optimize the content so that it is a) found at search engines and b) possible to monetize and earn a profit from. I suspect that while we all agree that good content and grammar are important, most of us don't grasp the full extent of the latter two principles: Search engine targeting and phrase-based monetization.
The first question
One of the first questions that people ask when wanting to profit from writing at Hub Pages is – how should I monetize hubs? Google adsense? Kontera? Amazon.com? Auctions? Reviews using affiliate links? Hub Pages offers all of these options. But instead I choose to answer plainly: Google adsense. The reason I wrote 'plainly adsense' might not be clear right now, but it will be in the next few paragraphs. The main idea behind choosing just one monetization method to start with is to do with not cluttering hubs with loads of ads and superfluous widgets. Let Hub Pages take care of the monetization process with targeted adsense ads. Unless writing a review of a particular product – avoid cluttering hubs with lots of affiliate links.
Understanding adsense
Most people don't stick with adsense long enough to learn how to use it. Instead their response after using it a few times is: "the earnings are not that great – adsense sucks". However those who stick around to learn about how to use adsense benefit. To have success with adsense you'll want to:
- Create hubs that generate adsense ads people want to click on.
- Increase adsense CTR.
- Increase per-click revenue.
There are some Hubbers who receive over a million pageviews per month. Yet some of their hubs earn a reasonable amount of income while others earn hardly any. The reason for some hubs not performing well is:
- Not being optimized as "adsense profitable" content
- CTR is low
- CPC is 10-20c per click
The simple trick to Hub Pages is:
Hubbing about adsense profitable topics and avoiding dead-end phrases. Sometimes this can just mean changing one word in a hub. E.g. Optimizing "weight loss guides" to "dieting tips" if the latter phrase is more profitable.
It is also important to remove cluttered images and other superfluous widgets.
Filtering and weeding out phrases with a CPC (Cost-Per-Click) that is low (i.e less than 80 cents). There's no point writing a hub about a topic that adsense offers 0.09c per click when there is a related phrase offering $5.20 per click. Consider the CTR is 2%. You've just raised profits from $1.80 per 1000 pageviews to $104 per 1000 pageviews and all it took was 30 seconds of quick research.
Google adsense research
Two common mindsets when writing-for-web are a) writing for the mere sake of making a profit from articles and b) not caring one bit about the revenue – writing for fun, to help others or to be part of a number of close Hub Pages sub-communities. I'd like to ask you to begin thinking about getting into the middle of these two mindsets. To understand this let's look at what a person writing for a public journal might do:
- Research how broad or narrow the topic is – does it have an audience?
- Research what other literature is available on the topic – what have other people written about it and can I offer something unique or should I choose another topic?
- Is what I write going to be difficult or simple to find for others?
It can take a matter of weeks to plan a journal article, but it takes just a few hours or less to plan a Hub. Here is how the process might differ for creating a Hub:
- Research whether it's something people want to read – is the hub exciting to read?
- Research what other people have published – what other hubs about the same topic are out there and how does mine compare?
- Is the topic searched for on Google often enough – have I used a title, URL and tags that people search for often?
- How much Google adsense competition is there for this phrase?
For example a high number of advertisers are competing for the phrase "cancer" with the going rate average being $2.13 per click. The competition for the phrase "Super Mario" is lower and has an average rate of just 0.10c per click. So if both articles receive 50 clicks the hub about cancer could earn above $100 while the hub that is about Super Mario games will not earn more than $5.
This isn't just about picking phrases to write about that advertisers are competing for. If advertisers are competing for it this also means people are searching for that phrase often.
Giving a unique angle in a hub on a competitive phrase is therefore not just good for revenue. It also means more people will find that hub through Google search. Optimizing hubs for Google adsense is also a process of optimizing their content to become more popular. Remember that adsense uses a number of the same algorithms to sort content as other Google algorithms like Google Search – the biggest search engine.
Spending 5-10 minutes on research before sitting down to write a hub increases the long-term traffic and profits the hub generates. This increases our profits, Hub Pages' profits and Google's profits. Competing advertisers are driven to the anchored phrase and more natural search engine queries point to the hub. Hubs posted at Hub Pages get picked up at Google within hours because Hug Pages is quite a popular site. Hubs are auto-monetized with Google. So while the process of search engine submission and ad-placement can take hours per article in regular circumstances, this is all pre-done at Hub Pages. The single thing we have to do as writers is target the best possible phrases in the topics we'd like to write about.
Keep in mind that I am never changing what I want to write about to suit Google advertisers. Instead I'm tweaking and optimizing the anchor phrase that I use. I might change "advice" to "tips" or "gifts I think are cool for xmas time" to "best xmas gift ideas" for instance. Same article. Better phrase. The phrase is more readable at search engines and more competitive in the adsense market.

Google Phrase Research
There is no single absolute method for us to know how much the average phrase earns on Google adsense. But we can be clever about it and get a rough idea.
The Google adwords tool reports back how much a certain phrase will cost if you decided to purchase an ad for that phrase. No, we're not going to purchase ad-space at Google. But what we are going to do is use this tool for advertisers to get an idea of how much a certain phrase is worth. Clever isn't it? You can leave all the fields blank except the following:
- Enter a few prospective phrases on each new line at the top. E.g. "fashion tips" "fashion advice" "fashion ideas" etc.
- Click on "all countries and territories" at the bottom and click on add.
- Click Continue.
You'll now see a page with the following information:
- Maximum and average cost per click
- Search volume
- Estimated clicks overall (across all websites)
Now when we run adsense ads on our own Hubs using these terms we receive a certain percentage of the amount that advertisers wage on the phrases. I believe the precise percentage is about 80% - but this differs depending on a wide range of factors that Google does not disclose. Though we won't ever be able to know for certain how much each phrase is worth the CPC values derived using this tool gives an excellent estimate. It's worthwhile going for a phrase with a maximum CPC of $3 than one with 0.30c – for example. Even if the percentage varies – the earnings for us are still much higher on the former term.
How to Trigger Profitable Phrases
So you've got your ideal keywords, but how do you get the most profitable Google ads to show up on the hub? This requires a specific skill in keyword placement. I've described the process I use below:
Before starting a new Hub:
- Use the adwords tool above to research the phrase.
- Pick at least 5-10 similar phrases and research them too.
- Pick out the most profitable phrases to center the hub content around.
Your sequence for hub writing might be brainstorm – add capsules – proofread. It's a good idea to now get into the habit of adding 'profitable phrase research step' right before the brainstorming stage. Now it's time to write the actual hub. How do we use the profitable phrases in a hub to trigger Google into showing ads related to that phrase? That is after all the goal we are aiming for. Do we add the profitable phrase to the URL? To the title? To tags? Some web experts believe it's important to add the phrase at least 10 times per 100 words in an article. This is not such a great idea and it often tips Google off to the article being 'forced' content.
The entire phrase should appear in the title of the hub. The title should never be longer than 10 words. If it is longer keep in mind that Google will just cut off the extra words when reading the title.
The entire phrase should appear in the URL. Hub Pages does this in auto- mode – so don't be concerned about this step if the title is correct. However sometimes it's a good idea to experiment with more compact URLs for best results. E.g. if the title is "Increase adsense CTR to work from home" I might change the URL to 'CTR-work-from-home' instead.
The trigger phrase should appear once in the first sentence of the hub.
Elements of the trigger phrase should appear throughout the article. But the exact phrase does not have to be duplicated all the time.
Optimizing Your Existing Hubs to Boost Profits
You can also edit existing hubs to shape up their profit-revenue. You can use the method above to make it easier for search engines and competing advertisers to find those existing hubs. I often optimize hubs to add more information to them or to improve the standard of how well I've written them. During this process it's also a good idea to factor in the Google research step.
- Test how profitable the existing phrase is using the Google adwords tool.
- Test some other related phrases and pick a more profitable one.
- Replace the title to include the new phrase.
- Edit the first sentence to include the phrase once.
- Touch up the article to be centered on the new phrase.
For example if the old phrase was "fashion advice" and the new phrase is "fashion tips" then replace all the 'advice' words in the hub with 'tip' or 'tips' instead. You can't change the URL of existing hubs which is a big disadvantage. But with some luck Hub Pages might allow this sometime in the future. For now just keep the same old phrase URL.
Note on coming up with related phrases
Having trouble coming up with a good set of related phrases to evaluate? Do a plain Google search in the following format: site:hubpages.com topic Replace 'topic' with the chosen phrase, e.g. searching Google for "site:hubpages.com Increase adsense CTR" (not in quotes) will come up with a list of popular related title tags on Hub Pages to evaluate.
Tracking Profitable Clicks and Best Performing Hubs
The big question that people often ask is "what if a phrase has a high search volume and cost per click rate now but won't have one tomorrow? Do the existing hubs I have reduce in profits?" The answer is: Yes – There's a realistic chance of that happening. There is also a chance that the profits will go up. Much like the stock market adsense rates fluctuate based on the amount of advertisers competing over the phrase at the time. However adsense rates are nowhere near as volatile as the stock market.
I recommend finding a phrase-area to stick with … a personal niche. For example: "anti-aging" can have hundreds of related phrases. Lots of those will also have a high CPC. Stick with writing about a few high-earning topics and adsense earnings go up. Phrase-sets that interlink increase overall search engine traffic and the precision of adsense ad-targeting on each of those hubs.
Trending
Using Google Trends we can discover up and coming topics on the web, and also recognize which topics have a downward trend. For example I can see "recipes" has a consistent trend of 1 – 1.5. Not superb. But good enough to be a topic to write a group of hubs about if the cost per click is worthwhile.
Obama has a trend of 0 until 2008 when people began hearing about him and searching for him on Google. Since he was elected president it's no surprise that the trend shot up from 0 to 30 in a matter of months. Other trends like Shopping are almost 100% consistent. Trends correlating with technological and political topics on the other hand tend to fluctuate. For instance before a new Microsoft software is released the trend would be 0. But once it's released the trend grows. How much it grows is the important factor we should be looking at. It's also important to look at whether the trend drops at all. The phrase "windows 98" has a CPC of $1.02 at the time of writing, but its trend has dropped over time from "3" in 2003 to "0.1" in 2009.
Maximizing CTR & eCPM
CTR on the other hand stands for click-through-rate – of 100 visitors what number clicked on the google ads? Expecting a CTR of 1-5% is reasonable. Even a 1% CTR with an average phrase CPC of $2 will mean $200 in earnings per 10,000 hub views. You can maximize the CTR to 5% and even higher with a few simple measures.
Ensure that the text content and Google adsense are all that's on the main content area. People often like adding loads of images, widgets and amazon.com ads hoping that this will maximize their profits. It won't.
The addition of a few photos is acceptable, but too much 'stuff' on the page is never a wise move. Maintain a minimalist approach. Just having the necessitated content on a hub allows Hub Pages to do its job and auto-arrange the ads in the best position on the page.
Conclusion
- Brainstorm profitable phrases before starting to write.
- Trigger the phrase in the hub or article.
- Find a good topic trend and write several interlinked profitable hubs on it.
Your profitable hubs about the same core theme will attract a lot more search engine traffic that will find the links to each other hub and also improve the search ranking of those hubs. Google adsense will deliver more targeted ads to this 'hub web - your interlinked hubs about the same topic' as a result. You do not need more than 2-3 links from hub to hub in the web. Some methods to link hubs together are:
- Using at least half of the same tags for all hubs in the same web.
- Using context links such as "The benefits of x far outweigh the disadvantages" (linking 'disadvantages' to another hub in the web).
- Just adding a simple "Related Hubs" section with links at the bottom.
If you'd like all of this information on PDF and lots more then check out my new e-book "Words Into Dollars." This entire hub fits into 6 pages of the e-book (one sub-chapter). The entire book is over 60 pages long, with almost a dozen times more information on building web content, traffic, and AdSense revenue more effectively online.

Nice hub, full of information. I hope I could use all of this because it will take a lot of time to learn and then to implement. Thanks.
Really brilliant Hubpage probably the best I have personally read on the subject. The tips are very straight forward and well presented, I really learnt a lot from it.
Great information. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading more from you.
Hey man you just gave out the whole secret ........ :)
@free4india
I was selling most of this article as an e-book at first but people kept saying that I'm trying to scam them :S, I'm glad they can now see that I do provide valuable tips ;). Thanks for the comments, it's good to know that you are finding the info useful :)
Hey Alex, I have to say I'm blow away at how well written and articulated this hub is. I'm an experienced marketer (still in neophyte mode however I have some great guru's)and you nailed a few rough edges I had here. I knew the main concepts but a few things you made more efficient for me. Kudos. I'm writing a hubpages book and am seriousely thinking of linking to your hub here for more information.
BTW I even mentioned selling hubpages how to info as an ebook and got some flack but the reality is stick to your guns, people will not listen to those blokes if your information is good. You just write a hub like this one to shut them up and impress upon everyone else that the material there in is worth the money.
This is phenominally written, very clear even to a newbie I'm sure as you didn't use any terminology you didn't explain in laman terms, and honestly, Even with my experience I'd pay for this information. I did the research, there is a huge market looking for this data (not just for hubpages but for any pages... Your a brilliant marketer from what i see here... keep up the good work, again, who cares what a few people who are just jealous/mad they have to buy the book, think? in the end every product, every author, every book, has had it's nay sayers, but they still sell hundreds of thousands of copies....

Jerrico, I'm thinking of putting a book online and slightly modifying this hub as you suggested. It will mostly be the same, with more info added to the book rather than taken away from here. I'll also be adding an extensive section on traffic. So look out for an e-book type update soon.
I love to write but to make some money why not? Thanks for the tips. I will be sure to use them!

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. When I go to my google Adsense account, it shows clicks but it doesn't show any earnings. So I went to allowed sites and entered each of my hubs individual URL's. Is that the correct way to do it or should I do something else.
Great Hub! I have a problem with reading and doing. I tried last night to comprehend AdSenses instructions and all I got was a graph with everything I wanted to channel. O.k. what did or didn't I do right. :P

All your ideas make sense. I have a classifieds website that doesn't seem to get the adsense clickthru. Do you have any tips
Donna

Hi Donna
Classifieds aren't the easiest sites to monetize using Adsense, unless you've got lots of traffic coming through. This hub is more applicable to article-writing.
good post I LOVE YOU (friendly) :D
The best hub I have ever read about hubpages and adsense...
Lots of good info, I especially liked the idea of linking hubs of the same theme together, builds on how people use the web, jumping from one place to another. I've just started on Hubpages so your advice will save me lots of thrashing around trying to figure out the best way to attract traffic (and clicks).
awesome hub thanks for the info... i read this 3 times already...
awesome hub - info! Thanks!
Great hub! This is really well put together and easy to understand. Your tips for continuing to optimize the hub even after you've published it are great. It's amazing how much a little experimenting can pay off!
Hmmm... I need to internalize all of these. It is worthless info if I don't apply it. :-)
Very helpful information for a new beginner. I am still reading all of the information and learning to navigate the Hubpages. Thank you.
Hi,
Wow, you opened my eyes. I have already seen an increase in the traffic to my Hubs. Thanks so much and I will continue to use this excellent information you share with the Hubpages community.
mailxpress
So many hubs from people writing about how to make money on Hubpages. I never click on ads on any site, why would I?
I've pointed this out in other hubs, but it's possible to build a profile of web surfers. Social networkers and general web surfers probably won't even notice the ads, but people seeking solutions and information do.
thank you very much for the info. i m quite new to hubpages as i have not written much. i found the information in this hub and your other hubs to be quite helpful and new. i hope i'll learn to apply these concepts with experience.
Great Hub on Hubbing ! :)
very well written, i'm from Peru, and even English is not my first language, I found your article very easy to understand, your tips are great.
Canica
great hub. good information here. I know that monetizing hub is not a simple. And you have great tips to overcome and maximizing adsense revenue onhubpages.
Excellent hub.......great detailed information. Keep up the wonderful writing.
Most people have no idea how to do real keyword research and how many tools Google has available to help them. Google wants you to make money with Adsense. And while I can't give you an exact number of the payout ratio... I can tell you for sure it is nowhere near 80%. I've been doing adsense for years and with Millions of Impressions... I have a pretty good idea what the real number is... and the fact that it seems to vary a lot for a lot of reasons. This is probably the best written hub I've encountered so far.
Hi
Great explanation! You don't come across them often.
Thank you
Juliet
This is a great hub in the sense that only the necessary info is given, and laid out well and easy to follow. To make money on hubpages with adsense--only way is to follow the tips on this hub.
I totally agree that affiliate links may end up cluttering the hubs. Now i know why HP allows a maximum of affiliate links.
Excellent read - very informative and well set out. Its certainly given me food for thought
Nice. Thanks for posting this.
The more I read this the more I learn. I didn't even know about google trends. thanks thanks and thanks
This text also appears in http://hubpages.com/hub/How-can-you-start-a-new-hu
Thanks for bringing that to my attention nicomp
This advice is not only good and solid for hub pages but for people that create content for their websites and still don't make money from Adsense.
Thanks for information.
I just read your hub and it is the very best on the subject that I have come upon so far. I am quite new to this and am going to go into action using your advice. Thanks so much.
Thanks for all the great info.
This kind of information is invaluable when starting. I would know I barely wrote my first one. Great Hub dude.
This hub was so helpful , thanks so much. I am just getting started with hubs myself. I really enjoyed this 1.
This is a great hub. Thanks for the information, it will be quite helpful
Nicely put together information.
This is some serious hub skills you've shared alexd181,I pronounce you JEDI of the hub pages,but seriously this is a grand hub!
I'm glad I found it!:)
LOL Thanks Waren. I might change the avatar I have here to one where I'm holding a lightsabre :P
I'm glad this hub has helped, I appreciate all of the feedback. :)
Very useful, I can write hub because your hub.
Great, relevant and very concise info. Adsense, SEO and related topics certainly involve a learning curve. This is one of the best hubs I've seen on the topic (and there are a LOT) and including the PDF version for download is really helpful. Thanks.
Outstanding hub! I'm a newbie to hubbing and AdSense and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all there is to learn. Fortunately, your hub just made AdSense MakeMuchMoreSense to me. Thanks so much!
Your hub is bother entertaining and encyclopedic as well. I am a virgin to the areas of the internet and the use of hubs as means of exposure and revenue.
Since I am afraid of Google, etc., I have delayed entering that uncharted territory. As on a safari you need a seasoned guide. That is the role you fill. You have been there and know the skills, perils and rewards for taking the journey.
I will follow your advice so I can, at least, survive.
Keep up the good work.
I am joining your fan club and your RSS.
If you would like a taste of my work, try OLD GROUCH 1 & 2 and Wizard of Words.
Well, I had let my hub work lapse since I didn't have the hang of optimizing any of it. You've inspired me to give it another go - it is fun!
Thanks.
Your Hub was well put together. I would like to have you write certain features about the Internet for our online and print magazine. This is a proper publication and am seeking to recruit the team completely online as part of the research into "Total internet".The style of the publication is aimed at the normal internet user - no techie stuff. Can you write on or produce researched material on The social flaws of Facebook, what predictable innovations on the net, and content on music downloading. I would like to know if you can produce constant copy on these things - I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers

You have lots of fan and I am going to be one of them. You have writeen a well researched article. Although it is long but worth reading. I am myself trying to search some oppurtunity to earn some money.
The best part of this article is where you said that you don't change what you want to write for Google Advertisers, you just change the phrase you use. Too many people lose sight of that and never are able to get back what they put into their writing.
Wow, you hit that right on the head! Thanks!
Llama, I agree that this is something a lot of people miss out on, there is a fine difference between the two. I'm glad you picked that up.
Very informative information. I'm already changing some key words in my titles. What about our TAGS on each hub? How does this affect the Hub? Do they generate more clicks? I use a lot of them.
Hi donotfear
Good question, I have a section about tags and how to use them effectively in my e-book (link at the bottom of the article). I think you'll find the information there is what you're looking for.

Thanks for the advice on not overcluttering. I'm new here and wondered whether Amazon capsules etc would detract from the Adsense. Now I know not to bother with them!
I don´t know why the people are so impressed. This hub has the same information that anybody can find in all the net. Nothing new, just things to be deducted. Is important that people begin to think a little for themselves and not give them all done.
Very informative and useful hub. I needed the info. Thanks.
John, Easier said than done for those without a lot of technical background.
Very well written hub .....

Hi,
I've written a comment here before but I took the time again to read your quality informative Hub.
Because of Hubbers like yourself I have grown to be an internet guru and enjoy learning as much as I can about Adsense.
I have created many more Hubs since my last comment posting here. I have also increased my Adsense earnings to $5.00 plus per day and on a few exceptional days almost earned $20 per day. I never thought I would reach more than $5.00 per day and look at me now.
Thanks again for the good quality Hub article. I do appreciate your work.
Have a great day.

Really good!
I was searching for the 3000 keywords to use in my next hubpage.
A ton of great information. I do have a question. I would like to have a link like you have 'Click here to create a free Hub Pages writer account' but I am not sure where would be the best page to link to. Is it just hubpages.com? Carol
It's really a personal preference Carol.
As a newcomer, I've found a lot of useful info from your article. Thanks for sharing. I'd try using the Google adwords tool.
Thanks Nera. You may also find my e-book "words into dollars" useful in your pursuit of making money online. It's full of information like in this article.
This is the best adsense article i have read so far. Thank you for sharing such valuable knowledge.
Thank You. This is so informative and well written. I will probably purchase your e-book on the subject. Your technical writing is so easy to understand. I am someone who
struggles with directions. I have found this article not
only interesting, but clear and uncomplicated.
Thankyou for a great Hub here. My head is spinning. I never even heard of Google Trends till I read this. I might be interested in your ebook, if your hub here is anything to judge by. Very impressed me!
Thank you so much! I just found out my main keyword phrase isn't worth much .30, but the generic keyword is worth lots!
WOW!
This is such a great hub.
Thumbs up ;)
Great Info, this hub was really easy to read and understand.
New to Hubpages it is great to see experinced writers trying to help the new person!

Thanks for this enlightening hub. I'm glad that you not only showed us how to research keywords, but you also showed us the best way to use them in our hubs. That is the most important for me as I'm familiar with the research part -- it didn't hurt to have a refresher though 8=)
All bloggers must read this article. If I had read it before I start blogging, I would have better experience with my blog
excellent article indeed. it's really helpful.
Great article, many thanks for taking time to share your years of experience. Give me a few days to get my head around the whole Hub experience and I'm going to be after your eBook as well...

Great HUB!! I'm a newbie and this is some really good advise.
Hi Workingman86, take a look at my Words Into Dollars website, it's got a number of useful resources that you'll find help for hub page optimization.
Hi Alex, Great hub! I think it's great that you're sharing your secrets. It can make a huge difference for newbies and other marketers who could be leaving a lot of money on the table by not understanding how to monetize their hubs more effectively. I just published my first hub last night -- wooo hooo! Before starting my hubtivities, I wanted to learn the best practices. So, I've been reading your hubs and those of the other top hubbers. Thanks for sharing. I'm a big fan of your hubs!
Wow! This is an amazing hub! Thank you for your help! I will definitely be coming back here to read this again.
Thanks!
