Here are 5 proven ways on how best to improve your Adsense earnings.

1. Focus on just one Adsense ad layout. Most marketers agree the best performing layout is the large rectange, (336X280). It has been shown to have a better click through rate (CTR). With this layout, the ads look like regular links on your site. People are more likely to click on them.

2. Design a color palette that is unique. Pick colors that match your website’s text colors and background colors. You want your Adsense ads to blend with the rest of your site, so that it is a very fluid design, and the ads seem to be content on your site. This leads to more visitors clicking more often.

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. To make things easier in the long term, 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.
