The following are some of the most effective tools:



1) Article marketing

It goes without saying that the more traffic you have to your sites, the higher would be your Adsense income and one way to drive fee traffic to your site is through article marketing.

Getting your articles written with killer headlines that will grab the visitors' attention, and distributing and publishing them on the Internet is one of the very best Internet marketing techniques in existence.

Once you have become an author of an article, you become an instant authority. When visitors locate and read your article they could obtain some useful information from it. They would most probably appreciate you. When appreciation turns into trust, it is very likely that they would click the link in your article resource box to visit your website to get more information.

Submitting your articles and getting them re-published on others' websites and newsletters/ezines is one of the most powerful Internet marketing strategies. Your articles will then start working as a free advertisement for you forever. And you do not have to pay even a dime for such advertising space. You will continue to enjoy free traffic driven to your Adsense sites for a long, long time!

The more new articles you distribute every week, the more targeted traffic you would generate. One of the reasons for this is that targeted traffic will tend to spend more time at your sites. Hence, the more time they spend there, the higher would be the chances of their clicking one of the Adsense ads posted there by Google.

2) Your Email Signature

Depending on the content and the addressees of an email, it can get forwarded many times and also copied to many other people. If you include your Adsense site in your signature, it can spread like wild fire! Therefore careful design of the wordings in your signature is important.

3) Viral Marketing or Referral Marketing

Viral marketing is a marketing strategy that encourages and prompts people to convey and pass along a marketing message to others voluntarily. With viral marketing, your campaigns once started, would spread like a virus. Everyone wants to see it, and when they do, they all want to share it with their friends. This has many times the effect of regular advertising.

When starting Hotmail after having been left way behind by Yahoo! Mail, Bill Gates had resorted to viral marketing strategy to hit back at Yahoo! And he did it very successfully. All Hotmail messages that were sent out had a brief signature at the end of the mails requesting the recipients to sign up for their own free Hotmail account. In less than one year, Hotmail managed to capture millions of users!

You could sign up at one of the leading viral marketing sites at FreeViral.com. A viral site would be automatically given to you and you can register your Adsense site here and subsequently, anyone who is signing up at your site would be taken to your Adsense site. Of course you could also give some extra exposure of your viral site through article marketing discussed above.

You can do the same thing with your own opt-in list.
