Over the last 10 years our publishers
have been discovering the best
ways to increase revenue and attract
visitors – with great success. Now,
to celebrate our 10th anniversary,
we share this expertise with 10 tried
and tested tips.
Here’s to 10 more successful
years for you – our publishers.
10 tips for 10 years
Great content is tip number one
for a reason – after all, it’s what
we’ve been supporting for 10 years.
Genuinely useful, original content
helps your site attract loyal readers
that will keep coming back for more.
Create great content and all else
will follow.
1
Create great content
Don’t forget…
Keep your site fresh by adding new content
and refreshing old content regularly.
Success story: askdavetaylor.com
Dave, from tech support site askdavetaylor.com,
creates a new article every day to continue
growing his site.
Don’t forget…
If you’re not serving image ads then you’re
missing out on revenue.
If you’ve only got two minutes to
make a difference, simply update
your preferences to ‘text and image
ads’ rather than one or the other.
It’s a quick and easy change –
potentially with a big impact on
revenue. Image ads compete in the
same auction as text ads for your
ad space, so choosing to show
both types increases the competition
and may help you earn more.
2
Mix it up with text ads
and image ads
Success story: funcheapSF.com
funcheapSF.com increased their revenue
by 51% by opting into text and image ads.
Don’t forget…
Make sure your mobile site provides a good
experience. 57% of people wouldn’t recommend
a business with a bad mobile site.
Just using text and image ads on
your desktop website? You could be
missing a trick. Try diversifying with
tailored ads for your online games,
video content, mobile site and apps.
Try adding a Google search box to
your desktop site too. Users can
search without leaving your site
and you’ll earn revenue from ads
on the search results pages.
3
Think multi-channel
Success story: sporcle.com
Trivia site sporcle.com used AdSense to
create a successful mobile business.
Don’t forget…
Ad sizes 300x250, 336x280, 728x90 and 160x600
are the most popular among advertisers.
What works for you might be
different to what works for someone
else. The beauty of AdSense is that
if something doesn’t work you can
easily change it. Experiment with the
colour, placement and size of your
ads (psst, wide ads generally perform
better) to see what combinations
give you the highest revenue per
1000 impressions (RPM).
4
Experiment, experiment,
experiment
Success story: concertboom.com
concertboom.com saw a 400% increase in revenue
after adding an additional 300x250 ad to their site.
Don’t forget…
By linking your AdSense account with Google
Analytics you can run tests that compare one
page layout with another. You can even create a
heatmap to see how people are using your site.
Spend a bit of time learning how to
use AdSense reports and you won’t
regret it. You’ll be able to see how
much you’re earning, what’s making
an ad successful or not and how
changes you’ve made have impacted
revenue. And who doesn’t like looking
at a good graph?
5
Track your successes –
and have more
Success story: makeupalley.com
makeupalley.com used Google Analytics Custom
Variables to track and compare visitor activity –
which led to a 50% uplift in their AdSense revenue.
Don’t forget…
The Google Publisher Toolbar lets you
see your account information and block
ads while browsing your site in Chrome.
We want your ads to complement
the content on your site. No one
knows your site like you do, so we
hand the editorial controls over
to you. You can choose to block ads
based on type, or on the specific
URLs they point to.
6
Control the ads that
appear on your site
Success story: sportonline.de
Soccer website sportonline.de uses ad controls
to customise users’ experience.
Don’t forget…
On average, publishers who implement these tips
see at least a 10% uplift in revenue. We’ve seen some
increase their revenue by up to 200%.
General tips can only get you so far.
That’s why we occasionally provide
optimisation tips for your specific site.
When we detect an improvement you
could make, you’ll see a message in
your AdSense account (and in your
inbox if you’ve opted to receive emails).
Always give these suggestions a try
and don’t be scared to play around with
ideas to make them work best for you.
7
Don’t miss your
personalised tips
Success story: teachingideas.co.uk
Educational resource site teachingideas.co.uk
boosted revenue using personalised tips sent
by the AdSense team.
Don’t forget…
Link from your Google+ page to your site and vice
versa. This could help you get your +page verified –
which means you could appear on the right side
of relevant Google search results.
Imagine having all your readers in
a room, what would you ask them?
What would you like them to talk about
or tell their friends about? Give yourself
a social media presence with a Google+
page. Not only will it help you build
a relationship with your customers,
it’ll give them an easy way to share your
content – bringing even more traffic to
your site.
8
Connect with your audience
Success story: estadao.br
Over a five-month period, Brazilian news portal
estadao.br saw traffic to their site increase by
540% – thanks to their Google+ page. In turn, this
generated an uplift of 18% in page views per visit.
Don’t forget…
We frequently host Hangouts from the
AdSense +page. Tune in for live discussions with
the AdSense team and community members.
Become part of our active community
of AdSense publishers. Join the
‘Learn with Google for Publishers’
Community on Google+ and don’t
miss our workshops (both online
and in-person). That way you’ll keep
up to date with all the latest news
and be able to share tips and ideas
with other publishers.
9
…and connect with
other publishers
Success story: cutoutandkeep.net
Crafting site cutoutandkeep.net saw their revenue
quadruple after implementing tips suggested at a
Learn with Google for Publishers workshop.
We want you to have a long and
successful partnership with AdSense.
Here are just a few reminders but
it’s a good idea to regularly check the
policies you agreed to when you set
up your account.
• Avoid implementations that may
lead to accidental clicks
• Keep your content family-safe
• Make sure you have the rights to
any content you monetise
10
Make sure your site
complies with our policies
Success story: you
All our partners make up a family-safe community.
Take care that your site also complies with our
policies, so we can thrive together for years to come.
