To maximize your Google Adsense earnings, these are the factors you need to consider

1. Responsiveness of audience to the ads = A travel website that provides information on travel to Spain will attract visitors looking for ways to arrange their travel and spend money on their vacation to Spain. Your site provides the info, but the ads will provide hotels, travel agencies, tourist destinations, car rentals -- ads that are likely to get the attention of the users of your site. This is a site that will most likely do well with Adsense. However, if you are a gaming website where the main purpose of the user is to play games on your site, then Adsense will not perform as well.

2. Ad format = some types of ads do better than others depending on your content and layout. In our case, large rectangles in the middle of the content is the best, while leaderboards do not generate as much as income. Skys are the worst for us. Experiment and measure the results via channels and see which formats work best for you.

3. Ad placement - check Google's heat map as they have tested where the best placements are https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=17954&ctx=en:search&query=adsense+heat+map&topic=0&type=f

4. Ad colors - sometimes ads blended into the content works wonders, but sometimes ads that contrast your site colors work best

5. Number of ad units on a page = we are allowed maximum of 3 ads + 1 ad links + 1 search box on a page. Maximize the allowed number based on the resulting look of your page (you don't want an overkill of ads). Users going to your page and reading your content may ignore the banner or rectangle at the top of the page, but may click on the ad at the bottom of the article

6. Smartpricing - the big unknown in Adsense. No one knows how this actually works. But it can affect the pricing of the ads on your site. If the advertiser paid for $0.50/click - but your site is smartpriced - then the cost may be discounted lower (e.g. $0.25). So you may try to develop a site based on high paying keywords but if smartpricing gets to you, then you may not get as much per click as what you are expecting from your keywords.

Here is Google's explanation of smart pricing https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9562&query=smart+pricing&topic=0&type=f

Google's smart pricing feature automatically adjusts the cost of a keyword-targeted content click based on its effectiveness compared to a search click. So if our data shows that a click from a content page is less likely to turn into actionable business results -- such as online sales, registrations, phone calls, or newsletter signups -- we reduce the price you pay for that click.

Experiment with the factors above (except smartpricing, which you can't control), and see which combination works best. Remember though that not all sites do well with Adsense - even if you get gazillions of traffic but your visitors are not interested in looking for ways to spend their money, they won't be interested in your ads and won't click.

Answer 2

clicksor.com

they are just like google adsense except that they also have a popunder option that will make you even more money than google makes you.

Maximize your google earnings by producing text ads within the main area of your website. People tend to naturally overlook the sidebars and header subconsciously. adding the text ads right in the middle of the page will get you nearly ten times the regular hits that you get now on your ads.

To correct what someone else said. You not only cannot click from your own IP, but multiple clicks by any user from any IP within a certain amount of time will cause google to flag your account amd possibly delete it. You also cannot give incentives to people for clicking on your ads or you will have your account deleted as well. According to google rules, you can not even ask people to click on the ads (example: please visit our sponsors) Google adsense pretty much covers everyhting in their terms of use to the point where all you can do is just place the ads within the site and not making mention of them. you also are not allowed to post other ads if this type on your site while thier's is there also. Just follow my first advice above and set the ads where you would normally view actual site content in the middle portion of your page. Visitors will notice them more this way. Then again, being in the middle like that, you may also be able to earn money by mere accidental clicks on them by your visitors. This also happens when you place the google ads very near other links on your site.
