1. Concentrating on one format of Adsense ad. The one format that worked well for the majority is the Large Rectangle (336X280). This same format have the tendency to result in higher CTR, or the click-through rates. Why choose this format out of the many you can use? Basically because the ads will look like normal web links, and people, being used to clicking on them, click these types of links. They may or may not know they are clicking on your Adsense but as long as there are clicks, then it will all be for your advantage.

2. Create a custom palette for your ads. Choose a color that will go well with the background of your site. If your site has a white background, try to use white as the color of your ad border and background. The idea to patterning the colors is to make the Adsense look like it is part of the web pages. Again, This will result to more clicks from people visiting your site.

3. Remove the Adsense from the bottom pages of your site and put them at the top. Do not try to hide your Adsense. Put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between Adsense locations can make when you see your earnings.

4. Maintain links to relevant websites. If you think some sites are better off than the others, put your ads there and try to maintaining and managing them. If there is already lots of Adsense put into that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way visitor will see your ads first upon browsing into that site.

5. Try to automate the insertion of your Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your Adsense code in a text file, save it as “adsense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.

These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. It is important to know though that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. So focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose because the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that persons will be viewing already.

Note also that there are many other Adsense sharing the same topic as you. It is best to think of making a good ad that will be somewhat different and unique than the ones already done. Every clickthrough that visitors make is a point for you so make every click count by making your Adsense something that people will definitely click on.

Tips given by those who have boosted their earnings are just guidelines they want to share with others. If they have somehow worked wonders to some, maybe it can work wonders for you too.

Try them out into your ads and see the result it will bring.

If others have done it, there is nothing wrong trying it out for yourself.

Keyword Density

Keyword density is an indicator of the number of times the selected keyword appears in the web page. But mind you, keywords shouldn’t be over used, but should be just sufficient enough to appear at important places.

If you repeat your keywords with every other word on every line, then your site will probably be rejected as an artificial site or spam site.

Keyword density is always expressed as a percentage of the total word content on a given web page.

Suppose you have 100 words on your webpage (not including HMTL code used for writing the web page), and you use a certain keyword for five times in the content. The keyword density on that page is got by simply dividing the total number of keywords, by the total number of words that appear on your web page. So here it is 5 divided by 100 = .05. Because keyword density is a percentage of the total word count on the page, multiply the above by 100, that is 0.05 x 100 = 5%

The accepted standard for a keyword density is between 3% and 5%, to get recognized by the search engines and you should never exceed it.

Remember, that this rule applies to every page on your site. It also applies to not just to one keyword but also a set of keywords that relates to a different product or service. The keyword density should always be between 3% and 5%.

Simple steps to check the density:

• Copy and paste the content from an individual web page into a word-processing software program like Word or Word Perfect.
  
• Go to the ‘Edit’ menu and click ‘Select All’. Now go to the ‘Tools’ menu and select ‘Word Count’.
• Write down the total number of words in the page.
  
• Now select the ‘Find’ function on the ‘Edit’ menu. Go to the ‘Replace’ tab and type in the keyword you want to find. ‘Replace’ that word with the same word, so you don’t change the text.
  
• When you complete the replace function, the system will provide a count of the words you replaced. That gives the number of times you have used the keyword in that page.
  
• Using the total word count for the page and the total number of keywords you can now calculate the keyword density.

Ms Dewey is Case Sensitive

I've been playing with Ms Dewey alot lately. Ms Dewey is the new AI search engine Ms is playing around with. She is pretty amusing at times. Like if you type blockbuster video she will start cursing and jumping around. And there are some other intersting reactions if you ask her some private questions. You can figure those out for yourself.

One thing I notcied tonight was very interesting. She is case sensitive. So if you type in Linux Rules you will get some interesting legalase read to you, but if you type Linux rules then you get a totelly diferent reponse. May MsDewey is build on a non-MS system like Linux. MS systems don't usally care about case, but Ms Dewey does.

Blogger Beta 2

Well, I've had a couple of days to play around with this new blogger format, It appears that Google took some of the code frompages.google.com and used that code in the new blogger. Anyway that new format is much easier to use and makes designing your layout a lot easier. While this system is still not Wordpress, it is a lot better than the previous version. They have also integrated this version into the rest of the Google products so you can single sign on between this and your other Google applications.

Over all this is looking very cool and should be a lot More useful for the novice blogger.

Trying out the new Blogger beta

I have a blog on blogger.com even though I don't keep it up todate like I should. Mostly because I started blogging on blogger, but then found a lot better features on wordpress. Plus there is the advantage of hosting on your own domain, instead of someone elses.

I'm going to play around with this and see what the new features are. My main blogg will still be at http://brucehopkins.net
