Don’t focus on only one
During the past several years, when promoting my website, I focused on SER (Search Engine Ranking), and Social Bookmarking (and on plenty more things, of course, but now I am talking about these two).
So, I submitted my site to Google, Digg and StumbleUpon. And waited for results. There were results, but I was not satisfied. [...]
Change layout often
It has something to do with our brain. Talking about changing your website layout often, I refer to returning visitors (those who return 4 or more times).Now if you have e.g. 3 column website, with blue left column, and a 160×600 WIDE skyscraper, with red background, on the right, the visitors will notice that it [...]

Even though you do know how miserably Google pays you if you refer someone to download Firefox with Google toolbar (it’s up to 1$ – depending on location of your “referring” visitor), you can make some additional income of it. Sure, you wonder how will placing an additional image in your column with “Get Firefox [...]

These are some necessary steps that need to be done if you want your AdSense account to “survive”. I won’t mention those about clicking your own ads and making others to click – isn’t it obvious by now?
1) High CTR – normal CTR is about 2-8%. Anything lower than that means that there’s plenty of [...]
AdSense without site
But not on myspace.com . Many of you have asked me if it was possible to put your AdSense on myspace. No. It doesn’t comply AdSense Program Policy, as PP strictly statest that on one page there can be ads from one publisher only. MySpace has its own AdSense, so that means no.

Things you should do
AdSense do’s and dont’s. Mostly dont’s.
1) Comply Google AdSense program policy !!!
2) Don’t change AdSense code given. AdSense offers variety of choices when creating an ad. You can use any color you want (not only those in palette, but you can input any HEX code). If you want even a slightest change (e.g. just border [...]
Perfect ad positions
To make it shorten, and easier to understand for you, I will name the most used Ad dimensions and I will tell you where is their best place, and worst place.
Leaderboard, 768×90
Best – in the site header. Below main header, above content. It would be the best if you had a 800×600 site – the [...]
Wrapping ads with text
As I have already discussed (and several times), ads should be visible, but also should not look like an ad. Blending it with content can be very useful, and can sometimes boost your earnings for more than a 100%! Feel free to read Google’s own success stories page – most of them are saying that, [...]

The key to your success in AdSense is, besides traffic and content of course, relevant ads. Now, by default, AdSense is a program that will “gain you revenue by showing relevant ads on your web site”. However, in reality, things can sometimes be different. Not only that you may have irrelevant ads, but they can [...]

Always remember that “don’t make it look like an ad” sentence. Instead, make it look as a part of the content.
HOWEVER, and one big however. The “don’t make it look like an ad” sentence is NOT valid anymore after the launch of the Referrals 2.0. If you have some good advertiser with good offer (let’s [...]
