Make Money With Google Adsense

Before I forget, I've added a question form to my about page. Please feel free to post your questions. Please, online business questions only :-)
Now onto some powerful techniques on how to make money with Google Adsense that have helped me generate $300-$500 a month and on occasion, much more!

   Powerful Adsense Techniques
=======================================================
 
Google Adsense has become a powerhouse of advertising arsenal. Everyone is jumping on board trying to utilize this advertising medium to make a few extra dollars, in fact, in most cases it far more than a few extra dollars.
Once you've created your free account you can paste your customized adsense code into your website and you're on your way to earning big bucks!  Unfortunately, there is just a tad bit more to it than that, but if you follow what I'm about to tell you, there's a good chance you can make more than you're making now, so please read on.
Ad Formats
Wider ad formats generally result in higher click through rates than do taller ads.  Google Adsense even points out that the following ads generate more clicks:
160x600
300x250
336x280
Text links are also an ad format the works well. Text link ads blend very well with your content and navigation. One example of these ads would by the 'Link Unit 4 ads 120x90. There have been some website owners that have seen more than 15% increase in click-throughs with these ads, particularly if you can seamlessly blend them with your own text.
Colors
Ads that blend in with the colors of your site generate the highest click-through rates.
In most cases, it is best to use the exact same color scheme for your ads that you use on your web site. However note that by using ads without background color or borders, your ads seamlessly integrate with your content.
Also, the blue text links seem to perform best for Google Adsense. Blue is the standard color of links on the Internet. Therefore, viewers expect links to be in  blue and adsense is no exception.
It's a good idea to rotate your colors every once in awhile to add a little variety. This way, your visitors don't get used to your ads, which can cause ad blindness.
Using images
Perhaps you've seen sites that have images above or around the Google Adsense ads.  This is another good way to increase revenues and many have utilized this  technique.
One of the most successful implementations of this techniques is to use the 728×90 leaderboard with 4 thumbnail-sized images above each ad. You can see some good examples at:
Keep in mind that Google does not allow blinking arrows or obvious 'clickhere' text around their ads, however it is acceptable to place related pictures beside your ads or above the ads.
Location, location, location
Just as with an offline store, location is key to Adsense success. Google helps us out in that area with what they call a heat map that shows the best spots for ads. This heat map indicates that the best places for your ads are at the top left of the page.  This is probably because people are use to seeing navigation on the left side of the page.
Another interesting thing to note is if you draw a line on your page from the top right hand corner to the bottom left hand corner, everything on the left hand side of the line is seen first, the right hand side if often ignored and virtually anything on the bottom right hand corner is never seen. So it's not a good idea to place ads or banners there.
Forums
If you don't have a forum you might think about starting one.  It's an excellent way to generate traffic, good page rank and sales to your site. 

But, you guessed it, it's also a great way to gain Adsense revenue.  You can place adsense directly into your threads. Google's suggests that you place a skyscraper above the fold on the left side of your forum. They also suggest placing a leaderboard directly below the top navigation and below the first post.
Newsletters
If you publish a newsletter, then you could easily earn more Adsense revenue whenever you send out your newsletter. Simply link to an article on your site within the email. This will entice people to your Adsense pages and easily increase your Adsense revenue.
This is one of the best things about building your own list. You are able to direct traffic anywhere you like.
These are really just a few of the adsense techniques that can be applied to your online business. However, in the end testing is where you find out what really works for you. Your site is unique to your business and what works for me may not work for you, so test everything.
