Below are somethings you need to keep up in your mind once you start a website :

Don’t Rush to Apply for Google Adsense

A big mistakes bloggers make is that they apply to Google Adsense program after a few days of launching their blogs. It’s wrong step to take. Because it’s not about the number of articles you have published, but rather how much traction you’re getting on your blog. It’s better to build some authority, grab attention, and let the organic visitors start to come, then apply for Google Adsense. Don’t worry if it takes 2 to 3 months after launching the blog because it is worth it.

Test the Ads Placement

There are different places to put the ads on a blog. Try experimenting with placing the ads on different places on your blog. It’s better to test out a set of ads on the certain places for 4 weeks and see what happens after that, then compare it to the next set of ads on different locations of the blog. You might see a change in the Adsense earning.
It isn’t a joke, do you know that Bob, Increased his adsense earnings by 80% with one simple technique and it was just changing colours of the ad. Imagine, how just the change of colours has impacted Bob’s business.

Write Content Consistently

The consistency is the key to success. When you write content on a regular basis, the chances of getting your content ranked high in the search engines increase. Similarly, your content could go viral on social media if it suits the specific audience and they start to share it. There are different factors of why a piece of content gets shared on social media. For example, if it solves a specific problem or it is written for a certain group of people or it addresses a mass-level issue or it breaks some relevant news, then it gets a lot of attention.

Focus on the Niche

Google Adsense earning depends a lot on the number of visitors and page views alongside the clicks. It means you have to have a bundle of regular visitors on your blog to make money from Adsense. It is advisable to create content in your niche so that it gets more authority over time. On the other side, if you mix up different types of content, you’ll end up ranking nothing and likely to fail to build the authority over time. So focus on your niche and try to cover each and every possible aspect of your niche to make an authority blog. In case, you’re wondering that I haven’t talked about high-paying niches, then the reason for this is that one should be focusing on the niche they are interested in working rather than the high-paying niche that they have no interest in pursuing.

Geographic Impact

The geographical locations of the blog visitors count a lot in Google Adsense earning. It’s a fact that a click from the U.S or UK or Australia can’t be compared to the click from Kenya or Zimbabwe or Bhutan. The only way to get the visitors from the countries like U.S, Canada, Australia, and UK is to create content that the people of these countries are interested in reading. There is no shortcut to this strategy. If the majority of your blog visitors are from these countries, your Adsense income is likely to be more from a blog that has an Asian traffic.

Blog Design and Layout

It might sound irrelevant but it does have its importance when it comes to blog earning. If your blog’s design (theme) is not attractive, readers are not going to stick to your content. In case, you have put together a beautiful design, the visitors will stay longer and likely to engage with your content. If your blog design is less-attractive and lack symmetry, the clickability would decrease and visitors are likely to spend less time on the site. So pay attention to the blog design at any cost.

4 Things To Avoid When You Start Publishing Adsense Ads

Okay, Cool now you have an approved account, now the next are few things which i don’t recommend you to do or avoid them at all costs.

Don’t click on your own Google ads or suggesting people to click

Google has strictly mentioned this, in there policies guideline, that you should not click on your own ads at all costs or even asking people to do it, this may seems a good way to earn money in short run, but it will be illegal, unethical and will give you more harm in long run because doing so will result in permanent suspension/termination of your adsense account.

 Sending Ads via Email

If you become greedy and try to do things like sending ads via email, unfortunately this is against Adsense policies so better avoid it.

Mislabelling Ads and Encouraging visitors to click :

Okay, now I’m not saying that your ad placement should be poor but what I’m trying to say here is that some people mislabel ads with some other things or encouraging visitors to click on the ad without they even know. Adsense is strictly against this.

Hosting Copyright or Duplicate Content :

Hosting copyright or duplicated content without linking or taking original author permission is something you need to be concerned on. I even don’t recommend running adsense on autoblogs too, it is completely unsafe.
