Encouraging comment’s, running contest’s and updating often are other ways to avoid bounce traffic.

#3 Identifying stop zones - After a user reads a post they are left to contemplate your article, do they read another related post? (keeping them on your site) or can you provide them an alternative product/service which may help them solve their problem or help them research their interest further. These points on a web page yield a higher amount of clicks so utilize these areas to your full advantage. (for best results try to provide links relating to the above post)

In order to succeed in any particular Affiliate Marketing campaign, effectively selling the product or service with a review or recommendation is paramount. Just having a flash banner displayed will not be enough incentive to convert a high percentage of visitors into clicking, it is very important to bring the users attention to the product/service in an unbiased way.

Of course recommending something which is of no use to your customer will not only reap low returns but will also lower visitor confidence in your company. Make sure you complete extensive research on your chosen product/service before trying to push it on your own niche market, the last thing you want is them getting ripped off and it coming back to haunt you!

Getting top dollar from your adsense clicks

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Im sure all of you are well aware how Google Adsense works and just how easy it is to make money from your blog using Adsense for content. However it is essential that as a webmaster you ‘tune’ your Adsense to receive the highest income possible for each time a user clicks on one of your Adsense units, doing so may increase your income more than you might realize.

The first step in gauranteeing you get top dollar for each click is to block those low-paying ads which Google may deem suitable to display on your site. Thankfully adsblacklist.com makes this process easy, with just a few keywords you can generate 200 URL’s which fall into the ‘Made for Adsense’ or ‘Low cost per click’ catagories.

From there Just copy/paste your list into the ‘Competitive Ad Filter ‘ within your Google Adsense setup and Google will now prevent these URL’s from showing in your Adsense. Make sure you have tinyurl.com in your list as this site is used by many LCPC and MFA sites to hide there actual (normally very long) URL, thankfully adsblacklist.com provide the generated lists in alphabetical order so finding tinyurl.com shouldn’t be too difficult.

Hopefully this helps to increase income from your sites Adsense clicks, and should be the first step in eliminating those poorly paying ads. If you don’t already use Google Adsense to make money online, sign up right now.
