Once you're accepted, you want to maximize the opportunity. In this section, we look at some of the most effective strategies for generating optimum revenue from the Google AdSense program.
Step 1 - Formatting Ad Blocks
You can let Google decide for you the type of ads that will be displayed on your webpage, but as the website publisher, you may be in a better position to decide what ads suit the content of your website and how you would like them displayed. To the extent possible, whether chosen by Google or you, make the ads seem Like part of the site itself.
Most internet marketing experts believe that the ads on your website have a high probability of getting clicked if they blend in with the rest of the content of your web page. Factors such as color scheme, font size and type, and the appearance of your ad should match your web page. Borders are optional and we think you should often opt out. Why put a box around the ad that says, "Hi! I'm an ad!"?
Also, regardless of other design choices, text links should be blue. Why are text links blue? For the same reason Henry Ford said of the Model-T, "They can have any color they want so long as it's black." They just are.
Though we think text ads are generally better than graphic ads, also known as image ads, Google does offer them with the program.
Actually, you don't need to struggle much with whether graphic ads or text will be better on your pages, as Google's technology will suggest whether an image ad or a text ad will be more suitable and which will earn you maximum revenues (since you earn part of what they earn, they have motives to get this mix right).
However, it remains totally up to you whether you wish to run image ads or text- based ads. You can select only image ads, or text ads or a combination of both
Of these formats on your entire AdSense account or on one page at a time based on your discretion.
