A great way to monetize your website is to do it through Google Adsense. Many webmasters are struggling hard to earn good money through monetizing their sites. Others, on the other hand ? the cream of the crop ? are enjoying hundreds of dollars a day from Google Adsense advertisements on their websites. The difference between the webmasters who earn good money through Google Adsense and those who are still struggling to earn a few cents a day is that the former think out of the box.

Here are 5 proven ways successful webmasters have used to improve their Adsense earnings. Some of these tips have boosted quite a lot of earnings in the past and is still continuously doing so.

1. Concentrate on one format of Adsense advertisement. One format that has worked well for many webmasters is the Large Rectangle (336 X 280). This format usually results in higher click-through rates, or CTR. Why is this format so successful? Basically because these advertisements look like normal web links ? and visitors to the websites, being used to clicking them, will click this type of advertisements. They may or may not know they are clicking on your Adsense, but as long as there are clicks, you are at an advantage.

2. Create a custom palette for your advertisements. Choose a color that coordinates well with your website, especially the background. For example, if your site has a blue background, then try to use blue as the color of your advertisement border and background. The logic behind using this simple ?formula? is to make your Google Adsense advertisements look like it is part of your webpages. Again, this simple plan will result in more clicks from visitors to your website.

3. Remove the Adsense from the botttom pages of your site. Instead, put these advertisements at the top. Try not to hide your Adsense. Put them in the spot where visitors can see them quickly, i.e. at the top. You will be amazed how these different locations of your Adsense influence your earnings.

4. Maintain links to relevant websites. If you think some sites are better off than the others, put your advertisements there and try to maintain and manage them. If there are already many Adsense advertisements in that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way, visitors will see your advertisements first upon browsing into that site.

5. Try to automate the insertion of your Adsense code into the webpages using Server Side Included (SSI). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or otherwise. How is it done? Just save your Adsense code in a text file 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 useful tips that have worked well. Hopefully you can generate some good cash on your websites by applying some of these tips. However, what is most important to note is that advertisements are displayed because it suits the interests of visitors viewing that site. Therefore, you should focus on a specific topic as the displays will be especially targeted on a topic that visitors will be viewing already.

If these tips have worked wonders for some, they may just work for you too. Try them out and see the result. If others have done it and become successful, so can you!
