5 Little Known Things about Making Money with Adsense
71Millions of web pages and blogs are monetized with Google Adsense program. However, only 10% earn money substantially to reach the threshold of $100 a month. Google Adsense is a great way to monetize your web page or blog, because you don't need to do anything at all - other than 'copying and pasting the adsense code'. Every user wants to earn at least $100 a month from Adsense, which is the threshold of Google's paycheck. Only if you know few things about Adsense, you will earn money from it.
Here's a list of five things about Making Money with Adsense that you probably were not aware of. Make use of these tips and earn more money with Adsense on your hub pages and blogs.
**** This is my 50th Hub page. Thank you readers, visitors and fellow hub page writers for your constant support and encouragement. *****
1. No clicks = Poor Rating:
Tired of seeing low rates for clicks? Sometimes, you will even get $0.01 per click which is very poor. This means Google Adsense has rated your website as "POOR" below ordinary and grouped with 'scrap sites'. So, no matter whatever great content you write, you will not earn money from the site. If your adsense ads are not clicked in a website or a blog page, then immediately remove the 'adsense code'. Add your 'adsense code' only when you are confident about people will click on it. Sometimes, choosing such a niche (content type) is the key. For instance, people tend to click ads on review sites, technology sites and download sites.
2. Seasonal Rate Hikes:
This is another gold mine, the ad rates change based on the seasons/holidays. If a Christmas season is nearby, then advertisers will pay more to get the top bids, because of the tight competition. So, you may even get as big as $100 per click (Trust me). How can you take advantage of it? Write seasonal blog posts (or hub pages) and publish them. If Easter holidays are around the corner, then publish something related to Easter. You will get good rates for each click.
3. Know who will click:
Here's a truth - "No one wants to click Adsense ads". People are becoming used to the 'Ad blindness', they ignore seeing anything that looks like Ads. But, then who will click them? People who are searching for something. Or people who don't know much about 'Adsense Ads' or 'Contextual Ads'. How do you find them? You already know them - people whom are living with , your family and relatives. Ask them to visit your hub pages or blogs, don't mention anything about ads.
Run a classified ad in your local newspaper, the people who visit after reading such offline ads see the ads as part of content, so, they are more likely to click on ads.
4. Where is your ads?
Placement of your adsense ads is the key to get more clicks. You have to place it in the middle of the screen. Don't be shy or afraid to place your ads right in the centre. You need to use the same colour scheme to match your website / blog's design scheme. Users should not scroll above or below to see your ads. The ads should be right in front of their eyes. No excuse if you make mistake on this tip.
Unfortunately, some adsense revenue sharing sites such as Hubpages do not allow you to have the control on the colour scheme or placement, but do this if you have a blog or website.
5. Build a reputation:
Believe it or not, every Google Adsense account has a reputation factor. So, do not throw your ads every website or blog page you create. Instead, maintain one good quality page and build a reputation around it. Once you start getting good rates (at least $0.5) for your clicks, you can implement the code on other sites.
If you have any doubts or questions on Adsense, ask them in the comments section. I will try to answer it. Thanks.

well said, dafla. I did learn this after few months of my own experience.
Hai Shalini,
Congratulations for making 50 hubs within 90 days.Very Informative and useful hub.How much you are earning at present using these hubs.Stil Iam not sure about earning money by using hubs.
Bye,
Rajan Kathiroo
Hi Rajan,
For the first month, I did earn few cents a day. But, now the earnings have increased by 10 times. I need to work more and produce quality articles for helping everyone - that's my wish.
I want a tea shirt that says "i love AdSense" lol
:)
Good helpful hub. How do you find out how much you earn per click. I do go to adsense and get total earned but not per click.
Hi Eileen, I am taking an average of Money earned/ Clicks. I guess you already know how to set up URL channels so you will know which of your hub gets more clicks.
Yeah, i agree that adsense earnings should incrase if one can develope quality hub pages.But, as a new hubber(though not new to online field) i think our main aim should be devlop quality and educative articles only to help each other.We should not write only for adsense.But, the article i read quite good, and excellent in approach.Thanks Shailini.
Thanks for the helpful tips. The bit about doing seasonal things for bigger click paydays makes a lot of sense!
Thank you for the tips this is useful for noobs like me.
Send an ADWORDS campaign to your page from Google ADWORDS and watch the value of each click jump.
Thats what I have seen.
Hi
Do we get our own 'adsense code' for hub pages, or is that advice for when we have websites?
Thanks for your hub
Jan
Shailini, Evita here visiting from the Warrior Forum :)
Great hub! I'm just getting into adsense, and I learned a few new things.
Question: I thought Google had banned doing Awdwords to drive traffic to your adsense site?
I'm off to read some of your other hubs now :)
Evita
Congrats on your 50th, thanks for the info. I've been wanting to look into adsense a little to see how it clicks.
thnks for your tips..maybe i can do it
Informative. Makes ads cents.
Very informative tips indeed.
Its really hard to make even those few cents which always makes me wonder probably i will earn those 100$ in around 2-3 years.
Nice tips ... Especially the holiday factor .
Its Holi round the corner , I'm gonna publish some blogs related to the niche and let's see what happens .
BTW , Happy Holi !
Ooops , Holi ain't good at all ...
Searched google but no sponsered results !
May b d next time !
BTW , Have a look at my tips -
Hi Shalini,
Congrats on your 50th and well done hub which is very informative and insightful!
Good advice, really helpful.
I love all of the helpful advice given so freely here. This is just another in a long line.
Thanks
great info. . . I noticed my holiday traffic did pay A LOT more per click
to know the pay per adsense clicks one has to moniter the adsense accounts consistently. So if it shows 0.6 with 2 page clicks and 2.6 with 3 page clicks, you know you have earned 2$ for that click...lol...no rocket science this...but honestly i hv earned just 5-6 $ so far...dont know if its worth the while!
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
The good things of having ads by Google Adsense.
Yes Jan, you are right. we can't control the adsense ads in Hubpages.
thanks for the great tips.. Great hub!:)
Newlife
Hmmm... so if I'm not getting a ton of clicks right now even though my views are high I should take the adsense code off my page??? I didn't know that!
Dale G. Holmes
Very helpful - thanks!!!!
Thanks for the information - I better go and take Adsense off of a few sites.
I do have a question for you though: Is smart pricing still a reality, or is it more of a myth? I have some sites that are typically smart priced, but for almost a year now, I haven't had any problems. Any ideas?
i want your support the shirt picture you !!
You can earn up to $100 per click? :o
Hi Shailini, great tips in adsense, like the idea of dropping them in the middle of the page, this I shall implement. Thanks for the tip. Congrats on the 50 hubs well done..Rob
PS I 'll let you know how I got on with the change of the position of the adsense..
I'm pretty new to adsense, and I just found out you can choose your ads. You can't do that here, because you have to be able to add your own script. That's one reason I want to start doing pages elsewhere, so that I can choose which ads I want on my pages.
I personally don't think you can make good money on adsense. I think affiliate marketing (where they pay you if you sell something) is a much more profitable way to go.
You can make money from Adsense - you just need heaps of traffic.
thanks for the advice.
Shailini, Your hubs are as beautiful as you. I know it takes lot of time and effort to build a reputation and resulting in lot of adsense clicks. Great hub and I love your e-book too. Keep up the good work.
Good tips.
nice tips man, it help me with my adsense campaign. keep your good work !!!
Hey there,
Thank you so much for your informative words. I have just joined hub less than 5 hours ago. I now have a positive outlook. Thanks again.
Wow, Shailani, you are a hub writing master!
I guess I am in the minority - I am lucky to have made $134 in adsense clicks last month. I picked a topic that I know a lot about, and that had high adsense clicks - publishers pay $10 or so per click for many phrases in my niche, but I only get about $1 or $2 per click. Anyway, I have about 40 articles on my site - technically blog posts because it's a wordpress blog but I made it look like a website - and I wrote about 40 more articles on ezinearticles to get the search engines to notice me.
Now, I'm not making enough to make a living off of this, but I just created another site and I'm going to try the same thing with a few more sites to see if I can do as well. If I could repeat this a few dozen times over, I would be doing quite well!
That is a GREAT tip to create a site where I could put seasonal articles, to get higher clicks! I'm going to try it.
Thanks for the tip about using seasonal festivities. I have missed it for Easter. Will try for Mothers and Fathers Day! Some people say they make $thousands from Adsense. Do they have like hundreds of sites making $100 each? Seems like a lot of work for little pay...
Anybody else got any ideas? :)
Thank you for many valuable information! Really nice hub!
Vely good information Salini, keep going.
Good information about middle of page ads. I personally do not favor adsense on most of my sites because they are generated from content and take my targeted visitors away from my site. Any tips on that?
can you help me
I registered with Adsense but I have no idea how to use it now that I have it??
Very informative hub. About Google adsense rating websites is new to me.
I'm your fan now.
nice article.
Very Informative Hub! Keep it up!
Ive gotten $1.00 clicks on my blog. Best spots middle of page within your posts. Skyscraper on the right works for me as well.
Some new info about Adsense and some often heard info. I agree that moving toward more affiliate streams of income will be better. I guess my goal is to remove Adsense from my sites when my affiliate income is high enough to warrant it, not yet though.
great stuff.It took me nearly 18 months to reach the $100, actually reached $122 and had my first check this month.That is from a combination of hubs and website and what do I find this morning no not more money but my ********* website is down!!!! Ahh well onwards and upwards :)
This had some interesting info.Congrats onthe 50th hub.
I really like the first tip. But instead of taking the adsense off the poor site, is there a way to improve the site so google will like it?
Good hub, help for me. I just get 0.01 per click, very poor rate.
hi shalini
please visit my blog, I am not getting single click also.
Good Job thanks
Great Piece, I warn you now. We will become very familiar, this is the first month I will be running adsense (better yet, preparing locations for adsense) We'll run them as soon as we reach the target traffic rating ;) Thanks to the info I found today. I urge you keep them coming, you are over 50 pages, but this is the first I've found and it has helped me more than I can measure. It's you responsiblity to keep passing the knowledge you have in hopes that the guy like me happens on your next work! Thanks!
very helpful, im goig to start implementing some of this into my blog
this is one draw back on hubpages--you can't alter colours,borders etc as you can on website--this can alter no/ of clicks as well
Very good information! Thanks! I have a question in reference to #1. How do you know whether your blog is rated poor by google? Where can you find this? Thanks for any help. I am quite new at this. Congratulations on your 50th hub!
Sherry
My largest AdSense click was $23, but I have never seen anything close to that again. I've heard specific law topics (class action asbestos), home business & credit related content carries the highest CPC.
Great hub. Looks like alot of thought has gone into this topic. Just a quick mention about another crowd that, like adsense, do not charge anything to join and actually pay you for your visitors. They pay weekly as well. Check it out.
Well done on 50 hubs in 90 days!
Informative hub - thanks
50 hubs in 90 days, That's hawt
Hi Shalini
Good Info. Please check my blog to highlight areas to improve..
www.moneyvendor.blogspot.com
Thanks
Great job! I am curious as to whether that graphic was a real screen shot of YOUR earnings? Anyway, thanks for the great tips, I will be sure to incorporate them into my sites!
Thanks for the info. I have yet to see any earnings from HubPages yet, but my blogs do eran reasonable so far for not a lot of work. My goal is $500 a month all in all which I think is doable this year.
It's a good article. But the most important thing I've noticed is ad placement. I still can't get good ones and I've been working hard at it for years. Some things to take in mind: 1) the big mdeium rectangle is the most clicked had 2) try to make your ads blend in with your site
Nicely Written.. :)
Being brand new to HP but not IM, your hubs actually give me something of an idea of the number of pages, time, trust, etc. that eventually reaches critical mass, if I understand this right.
If G doesn't frown on using Adwords to drive traffic to Adsense pages, it should. Why would anybody pay $10 to make hopefully $1?
That $10 will go a whole lot farther promoting magazine articles linking to your hubs or featured US Freeads.
really good read, I didnt realize the rating has so much to do with how much google would pay =)
Hello Shailini,
Very good advice you wrote in your Hub regarding Google adsence. I have been doing Google adsence for about 8 months now, and have enjoyed a steady flow of revenue from Google adsence. Now, it also helps when you have a large volume of visitors visiting your site, and I agree that add placement is paramount in having a successful Google adsence program. Keep up the good work, and continued success with your Google adsence.
Ben Torres
hey shalini i want to create a hubpages.at the time of googleadsence account creation they asked a URL in the page..what is it? please answer as soon as possible......
http://hubpages.com/hub/ our hubs headline.....? is this is URL's format?
you could say http://hubpages.com
Shailini, thank-you for these great tips! I really needed them.
Wow you're GOOD at this I would love to have you as my fan.
Wish that i could be like you. An earning of $300++ in one day.. It's really feel good. Tha't's the way earning with Adsense, we will see only few cents at the start. Once we put in our effors, the earnings improved and grow bigger. But i am not as lucky as you, having a click with $100 bucks. Are you serious? is there a click with such big payout in Adsense?
That's a great hub, thanks!
Some great tips there.
:0)
HI SHALINI,
WHERE DO I GET MY ADSENCE CODE AND WHERE SHOULD I COPY IT
Great hub! I'm new to AdSense, so the information was very helpful. Thank you =)
Hai Shalini,
Congratulations for making 50 hubs within 90 days. I am earning ver few with adsense please tell me how i improve my blog so that i could earn more. please reply.
you said only a few websites give you a good earning from your ads. could you list in your opinion the top 5 or so? thanks
Great hub! very informative.
So you're saying its better to have multiple adsense accounts (seperate the premium from the non-preminum) then to just hold on to one?
can i ask you howmuch are you making by using hubpages? im just interested, about me... nothing :)
fascinating - you write so well, and great info for a novice like me.
This is the one thing I still do not understand. I have an 'adsense code' but do not know what I'm supposed to do with it? You've mentioned adding it somewhere.. ? How do I do this?
(Sorry.. I still feel like such a newbie here and I don't understand how I can get paid to publish hubs??) Any suggestions or help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Congratulations on posting 50 hubs too by the way! Awesome achievement.
P.S. The example you posted of a profit of $306.98, was that real?
Great hub shalani, Thanks
roshan. please tell me how to grow my pag impretions.
I have problem with what topic to choose to make a website. How do i go about that.
Thanks
Only 10% earn anything over a hundred adsense? Wow!
Posting on holidays is a great idea. I also never thought about just making one page and building a reputation around it.
Thank you for the information!
very very great hub ,
i have learned something new from this ,
this is the only hub ,
that i read fully ,
well , i hope this adsense tips will work.
thanks
Great info here Shailini ~ Thanks!
And yeah Google can 'smart-price' adsense clicks so that they receive low rates if they're found on low quality landing pages or sites. As a matter-a-fact Google can smart price a whole Adsense account just based on 1 low quality landing page. That's why everyone needs to be very selective about where they choose to place their adsense code. Also Google has a feature called 'allowed sites' when people log into their adsense accounts they can list sites that they give permission to run their ads. This adds more protection from some stray sites falsely running your ad code and jeorpardizing your acount.
'Ad blindness' is unfortunately existing!
I'm gonna try with Adsense soon. Good tips & articles. Thank you.
Someting that worked for me when my click rate was dropping on a couple of pages was too look to see who was advertising on those pages. I then banned a couple that were showing on both pages and hey presto the money per click has increased dramatically.
thanks for the info and advice
There seems to be many questions regarding how to do certain things. I have some how to article hubs I've written and I my How to sign up for Adsense step by step pictorial should be up in after the holiday weekend.
You are my guru, I followed your steps and I get clicks of $1 sometimes, when I used to get $0.02, One thing I want to know is where people clicks more in the hubpages articles

Interesting hub. I've gotten from .02 to 2.00 for clicks, and it didn't seem to matter when or where. I mostly get no clicks at all, especially since Hubpages changed their adsense around. I was making more money before, but then, there are those who swear they're making more money now. The "no click" factor is the main reason I'm moving more of my content to other sites.
