Adsense Secret - Part 2

2. Use the Images

Using images need to be done with pre-cautions bcoz Google has some policies regarding the usage of images and this has been known as the source of many BlackHatters' downfall. Few policies you need to bear in mind, that you can place images beside the ads provided that:

a) the images are not in anyway related to the ads
b) there's a clear cut between the images and the ads

Take note that we are not "not allowed" to use any images that "suggest" clicking on the ads. So things like arrows, pointing fingers, animations of cars or characters moving towards the ads, and the like will get u flagged. But, the edge has been somewhat defined and u can push it with great success, if u do it gracefully.

For instance, a backdoor tactic u can employ to get around this issue has been to create a website "logo" that no-so-subtly features a character (ie: a dude with a baseball bat) poiting it towards the Ad Unit. Because it's incorporated within the logo, the character is now "coincidentally" holding a baseball bat and poiting horizontally directly at the ads. When used correctly, this tactic has flown under the radar indefinitely and been a successful approach for someone more than once. Remember, a gray area is never gloomy to a BlackHatter.

Another very interesting technique has been to use a random "headshot" (pix of a person's face) as the "author of the article". Make sure the image is someone that looks the part and that it has heir of professionalism to it. Credibility is required to pull this one off.

Now, the secret is to place the article "author's" image right next to ur ads (see example below). If u pull this off correctly, u will create the perception that the Ads are the expert author's "recommended resources" and visitors, naturally will freely click on them all day long. The person who give this idea has experienced tremendous success with this tactic.

I got nothing to do .. and today is holiday .. and I feel like writing .. but dunno wat to write.. but then I came across how to increase my Adsense income, which is recently it is so bad, even the ads at my blog only showing Iklan Layanan Masyarakat .. what the heck .. it makes me look like a loser .. am I ? So .. after reviewing some articles, some e-book and some thoughts of mine .. I'd like to share few things here .. based on those things .. Some of them u may have heard about it, some of them might give you more ideas on how to generate more income, and some of them would find it as some dumbass writer trying to fill up his time by writing a shit. Whateva it is, I just don't care.

1. Design and Ads Placement. ( credit to AdSense Blackhead)

Different site will need different design and ads placement. Put it simple, every site is unique. So based on your own creativity and help of third party tool, u, yourself, or maybe someone you hire, need to determine what the best for your site.

Basic tips for you:

a) Blends your ads - make sure your ads' background colour just as your site background colour. This may confuse the visitors and unintentionly clicks on ads. But who cares, as long as you can make money.

b) Avoid the 468x60 banner size - This size is a cursed one. People will know this is for sure a goddamn ad and won't click on it. Use the 336x280 size instead. This guy (Adsense Blackhead) says the 336x280 size gives him 12 times more CTR than the cursed one. So beware guys, please don't be cursed.

c) Don't ever use image ads. Use text ads only. Why? I guess ppl dont want to clicks on images. They know it will link them to some other sites. Unless they wanna use the pix as wallpaper, then they won't bother.

d) Quickly opt-out of the "Onsite Advertiser Sign-up". Trust me.

e) For your links, use standard blue/purple colour scheme. Ppl do not see it as a link unless they are in blue/purple.
